[William] "This place has to be gone with that devil!"
William announced, holding a long iron rod from god knows where he had picked it up.
[Iris] "Nonsense. If this place collapses, you guys will be in danger!"
[William] "Hmph, it's ok because I'm just going to break down the door so I can't get in again."
I ran my hand over my forehead. No one knew what would happen if this old, small building, which was still in shape, collapsed.
The children were carrying tools, and the building was so dilapidated.
[Theo] "Stop now."
Theo stepped in and squeezed William's hands. The hand that had given Theo the strength to punch William at once was shaking slightly.
[William] "Me, are you going to kill me? Well, you're a demon."
At William's words, Theo's first turned upwards. Now all that was left was Theo punching William in the face.
[Iris] "No way!"
I ran to Theo, who raised his hand. Then I took his hand and said:
[Iris] "Theo, you're never the kind of kid William says, right?"
Theo's gaze turned to mine and I gripped his arm tightly.
[Iris] "If you fall for this provocation, you only acknowledge William's words. I mean......"
William, who had been watching me and Theo, interjected in our conversation.
[William] "Wait, You touched the devil's hands didn't you, Iris? You..."
At that, I heard my patience snap.
Thanks to this, I remembered something completely different from what I was going to say.
[Iris] "So......"
I bit my bottom lip slightly. I smiled brightly and grabbed William's ear.
[Iris] "Theo, if you don't agree with William, I'll take care of it for you."
[William] "Ah!!!!!!!!!"
William's screams caught my ears in an instant, and the eyes of the children who were wrecking the building focused on me. I smiled unconcernedly and tugged William's ears towards me.
[William] "Oh, it hurts! Iris!"
William had tears in his eyes on the face of a ten-year-old child, wondering where the cruelty has originated from.
I said calmly.
[Iris] "What the hell is Theo doing wrong? Just let it go."
Meanwhile, the children dropped their tools and pounced on me in unison.
Since then, it's been a complete mess.
I and the kids started a childish fight, biting and punching each other. I was outnumbered, but like Akbari, I steadily returned the retribution as I was beaten up.
[Iris] "Let go! Let go, you sissy!
[Children 1] "What is this? Nosebleeds? AHHHH"
[iris] "Hahaha! Have you heard of the legend of 13 to 1 at Hailis Nursery?"
Of course, there was no such legend.
As the fight dragged on, the children stopped punching me as if they were tired. Some of them had already fled.
"Why don't you give up now? Or do you want to be hit more?"
I said, blowing my mouth and removing the bangs that covered my forehead.
"You're mad!"
Another kid clenched his fists and tried to lunge at me stopped for a moment. His anxious gaze was over my head.
[Iris] "Uh......"
Naturally, I turned my gaze and noticed a structure on the ceiling, swaying precariously above my head.
Somehow fateful, only the part above the top of my head was crumbling. Perhaps it was influenced by the iron rod that William was holding.
'Oh, this time, it's really......'
It's dangerous!
Thinking of this, I reflexively closed my eyes.
Crack.
[Iris] "......"
But what I soon felt was not the fear of getting hurt, nor the pain of tearing my skin. Instead, it was a warm embrace that seemed to protect me.
[Iris] "Theo....Theo, are you ok??"
I quickly stepped out of Theo's arms and examined his face. Blood was dripping down Theo's face as his forehead was torn off. Even though in this condition, he nodded while not saying anything.
[???] "What's going on here?"
In the distance, the director's shrill voice rang.
