Goo Kim x Reader: School Days with Princess & the Delinquent
Chapter 9 - Please read chapter 1 first!
Index: Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3 | Chapter 4 | Chapter 5 | Chapter 6 | Chapter 7 | Chapter 8 | Chapter 9 | Chapter 10 | Epilogue
Tumblr media
Shin Saimdang is apparently a notable historical figure for something or another. 
Fact of the matter is, Goo doesn’t care. He couldn’t give a shit about her achievements and who she is. But he just wants to keep seeing her face all day, every day. The more of her the better.
Goo holds the 50,000 won note up to the sunlight, admiring the way it halos this Saimdang woman. Bringing it up to his lips, he presses a loud smooch to the 50,000 unmissable in the bottom left corner and then to her face printed in all its black and white glory. 
Maybe he’ll do the same to the wad of bills sitting in his pocket later.
“This could be you and I’d still kiss it,” Goo grins, wiggling his eyebrows and nudging Gun Park with his elbow.
“Shut up.” 
.
.
It is oft repeated for good reason, but here it comes again: Goo Kim fucking loves money.
Lives and breathes it. There’s very little he would not do to get his grubby little mitts on some.
That’s not to say Goo is not loyal. Of course he is, his loyalty just goes to the highest bidder.
And boy has Charles Choi gone all in with Goo, almost guaranteeing him a lifetime of luxuries and finer things in exchange for him getting some blood on his hands. That's fine with Goo, he is absolutely rolling in it with the Four Crews and his position in HNH.
Even having a partner like Gun Park is worth it for the bed of cash he sleeps on, his penthouse he lives in.
What can he say, he’s not a complicated guy. All his dreams have come true.  So what if he needs to sacrifice his morals and ethics?
How does he sleep at night? On a handmade imported mattress and 2000 thread count sheets, thanks for asking.
He can picture his younger self, a little Goo Kim with his head full of natural black hair overgrown and ungroomed, wearing threadbare brandless scraps. Squinting and clumsily bumping in life until he saved and scraped enough for his first pair of glasses.
Goo wishes he could give this version of him a little assuring pat on the head to say there’s a lot of good things to come. And then probably kick his ass for getting dirt on his designer suit.
Later that evening, when Goo sinks into the obscenely oversized bathtub of the presidential suite, listening to Gun Park mutter to himself as he recounts the bags of cash, he thinks:
‘This is it. This is everything I need.’
.
.
But every now and then, a memory, clear as day, causes him to stop in his tracks.
Someone’s hair, who is just the right tone, catches his eyes.
A laugh, that is almost but not quite, turns his head.
Goo is still as two faced as ever. Happy to utter flatteries to someone’s face then stab them in the back.
Sweetheart, cupcake, handsome, beautiful, cutie flows from his lips like it’s nothing. Because it means nothing.
Yet he can’t bring himself to call anyone else Princess.
.
.
“What’s wrong with you?” Gun’s voice cuts through the blonde’s pensiveness.
Playing the role of bodyguards and with a little time to kill as they wait for Crystal (which in all honesty is a waste of Goo’s amazing talents but he doesn’t mind, he gets paid all the same), they both sit outside a cafe. Gun, occupied with his phone and Goo, occupied with his thoughts.
Goo snaps his mask back on, pasting on a smile that is pulled too wide, “Wouldn’t you like to find out?”
“If it’s about that girl,” Gun returns his attention to his screen, “Get over it.”
The directness of Gun’s words catch him off guard. It cuts him straight to the core. Has he been that obvious? 
Goo swallows down any misgivings, instead stretching his grin impossibly wider and looking unhinged. A clear warning sign as any. “There’s no girl.”
Gun peers over to his partner, arching a single eyebrow and not saying anything more.
.
.
Another day, another dollar. Or another boring-ass corporate event.
Charles seems to be having the time of his life, mingling and schmoozing with some old corporate fuddy-duddies.
Goo thought it was surprising getting the CEO of HNH to some shitty little ribbon-cutting ceremony at a shopping mall, but apparently it’s something of a big deal; celebrating a new store opening of a very prestigious partner of HNH.
(Gun was sorely tempted to beat this fact into his thick skull. Clearly the four other times he had explained this to the blonde didn’t sink in.)
Alas, they are finally here. And it’s every bit as boring as Goo had thought it would be. He lets out a yawn, not bothering to cover his gaping mouth, which earns a glare from Gun and Crystal.
Goo nods his head towards the bathroom, signalling to his partner that he’s off for a comfort break.
Gun frowns, as if to say 'Don’t you dare leave. We’re on duty.'
Goo volleys with a smirk that communicates his response loud and clear. 'What? So you want me to piss all over the floor?'
Gun grunts in displeasure, giving a little shake off his head. 'Go. You’ve won this one.'
.
.
At the disappearance of Goo, your other friends start to reappear. 
Really, you couldn’t blame them for holding you at arm’s length. You probably would have done the same looking in from the outside, if they had chosen to spend all their time with a delinquent too.
And they really have been sweet since they’ve been back, noticing your heartache and the constant cloud hanging over your head.
In an attempt to get you out of your funk, they’ve dragged you, kicking and screaming, on a day out. It should cheer you up as you wander store to store, hearing their laughter and banter again, offering to buy you little gifts as a pick-me-up.
It doesn’t work.
It actually does the opposite as you start to shrink in on yourself, guilty that you’re ruining what should be a very pleasant trip.
“What’s going on there?” One of your friends point out, and you don’t have the energy to care.
“That’s the big boss of HNH!” Another one chimes in, and they ooh and aah wondering if they should approach and ask for an internship.
You continue wandering on, leaving your friend group to debate the merits of that approach. Whether they’ll get tackled by security or lauded for their initiative.
As you move further and further away, you can’t help but feel eyes burning into the back of your head. 
.
.
Gun watches you leave. He stays quiet when Goo returns.
.
.
In time, you begin to feel more like yourself.
The worry turns to anger and finally fizzles out to acceptance.
You try to move on but don’t forget Goo Kim. How can anyone truly forget Goo Kim, that whirlwind of a human being?
He entered your life, left behind a shine, and now has disappeared as mysteriously as he appeared.
You miss him in ways you didn’t know possible.
He haunts your days and nights. 
You dream of bleached hair, sharp eyes behind glasses, and a sardonic smile.
.
.
You’re back at the top of the class again with your grades, though inside you miss being second best.
Exams come and go. 
You do well.
With your results, your first choice university accepts you with a full scholarship.
You look forward to the future yet everything feels hollow without that presence in your life.
It pains you to even say his name.

History of Korean Currencies
Who are the people on Korean bill? 
50,000 Bill 
Tumblr media
The woman on the bill is Shin Saimdang of the Joseon era. Due to her filial devotion to her parents and love for children, Shin Saimdang has been held up as a model of Confucian ideals. 
Before the 50,000 note was released in 2009, the 10,000 won notes was the highest denomination in South Korea. 
10,000 Bill 
Tumblr media
The person portrayed on the green 10,000 won bill is Sejeong the Greatm the famous king of Joseon. 
King Joseon is credited with establishing much of what we think of as Korean culture, and he also created the Korean alphabet, hangul. 
5,000 Bill 
Tumblr media
The person printed on the organ 5,000 won bill is the son of Shin Saimdang who we saw earlier on the 50,000 won bill. 
Yi I was a Korean philosopher who had a huge influence on Confucianism and philosophy in Korea. 
1,000 Bill 
Tumblr media
The star of the blue 1,000 won bill is the Confucian scholar Yi Hwang. He was one of the two most prominent scholars of the Joseon dynasty, the other being Yi I. 
Yi Hwang was a master of calligraphy band poetry, and was known as a scholar who wasn’t concerned with either money or status. 
500 coin 
Tumblr media
The 500 won coin in circulation today made its appearance at the beginning of the 1980s. Actually, 500 bills were printed until May 12, 1993, but it slowly disappeared. 
The old 500 won note feature admiral Yi Sun-Sin of Joseon Korea. 
100 Coin 
Tumblr media
The Korean hero, Yi Sun-shin (previously found on the old 500 won bill), is depicted on the 100 won coin which is in circulation today. 
Bills were printed for the 100 won denomination until December 1, 1980. 
50 Coin 
Tumblr media
A stalk of rice is printed on the current and the previous series of the 50 won coin. 
500 won was printed as a bill until 1973. However, the 5,000 won bill had been introduced the previous year, and this was the beginning of inflation which saw both bill denominations and market prices rise. 
The values of Korean money had fluctuated a lot throughout history, but after introducing a stronger monetary policy in 1962, it finally began to stabilize. 
10 Coin 
Tumblr media
10-won coin has through several series had the Dabotap Pagoda printed on it. The original red-brown color was changed to more a yellow nuance in 1983. 
However, the cost of minting this version was too high, so they changed the color again in 2006 to a light brown. Because of their low value, 10-won coins are not that frequently used. 
5 & 1 Coin 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The 5-won and 1-won coins share a lot of history. 
With economic development, inflation, and the introduction of higher denominations, the cost of producing lesser coins came to exceed the face value of the coins. 
In the 60s, both 5-won and 1-won were also found as bills, but you can’t buy anything with a 1 coin these days.

Running forward without knowing fear is not courage, it's being rash. But running forward even when you know fear… that is true courage.
