The Beginning
CHEMBIE: The Beginning
The story kicks off first thing in the morning!
We meet a totally average scientist. He looks like he is permanently terrified of his own shadow
Actually, he is a washed-up chemistry teacher. He was thrown out of school because he was basically a certified madman.He spends his whole day wandering the hallways, doing the weirdest things you have ever seen. Seriously, the guy is a total walking glitch!
Then, there is this guy.
Smart? Obviously. Attitude? Off the charts.
He walks into the frame like he owns the entire school. And frankly, he probably should.He does not just enter a room. He makes an entrance.This is Kaji.He is the 2nd topper in the class. But behind that cold exterior is a heartbreaking past.The moment Kaji was born, his grandmother passed away, and his father fell into poverty.By the time he was only two years old, he lost his mother to cancer.Since then, his father has looked at him as nothing more than a curse - a "bad luck" charm.He has lived his whole life carrying the weight of being unwanted.
Back to the chaos!
Suddenly, we see that terrified chemistry teacher again. He looks like he has seen a ghost and is trying to run out of the school at full speed.The teacher turns around and makes the most bizarre, distorted, "I am about to lose it" face ever recorded in human history.After that awkward encounter, Kaji heads off to meet his best friend, Sunwoo.Meet Sunwoo, Kaji's ride-or-die best friend. He is consistently in the Top 10 of the class, so yes, he has the brains. But he also happens to be a killer guitarist.He is easily the funniest guy in the group. The kind of guy who can roast you and make you thank him for it.Even though he is an only child from a modest, middle-class background, he carries himself like royalty.While he is living it up in the city, his parents are back in the village where his dad works as a fisherman.He has that "started from the bottom, now I am the coolest guy in school" energy.
As the squad tries to strut into school like they are in a high-budget music video, they are immediately stopped by the final boss of the school gates.
Guard: "Hey, you runts! Where do you think you are going? Have you even looked at the time? You are so late, the clock is basically laughing at you!
Suddenly, two new transfer students appear out of nowhere, and the vibe gets weird - fast.
This is Elio. He just moved here from Italy. He looks like a model, but plot twist: he is literally from a Mafia family. He has "I will end you" written all over his face.
Then there is Somyot.He is fresh from Thailand, and he is the absolute polar opposite of a Mafia kid.This guy is so clingy, he cannot survive five minutes without his parents. He is terrified of his own shadow, and he is 100% convinced that ghosts are hiding in the school toilets.
Guard: "I asked you a question! Where are you going?!"
(Staring into the Guard's soul with zero emotion)_
Elio: "To your funeral."
The whole group freezes. Somyot probably starts looking for the Guard's ghost already. The Guard turns red, trying to save face.
Guard:"Listen here, you little punk!I have dealt with a thousand jokers like you before, and I will deal with you too!"
Just as the tension at the gate is about to boil over, the Class Teacher appears like a ray of sunshine! She looks at the group with big, sparkly eyes and waves her hands enthusiastically.
Class Teacher: "Hiii, my favorite little beans! Come on in, come on in! Aww, look at you all - so cute and definitely not causing trouble! Hurry up now, let's get to class!
Class Teacher: Aoooooo!"
The Guard's jaw literally hits the floor. His face turns a shade of purple that should not even exist in nature. He is shaking with so much rage, he looks like a vibrating pressure cooker about to explode.
_(Screaming at the top of his lungs)_
Guard: "ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW?! TEACHER!! How can you just let these little hooligans walk in?! They are literally the definition of 'Disrespect'! One of them just invited me to my own funeral, and you are treating them like precious little kittens?! THIS IS AN ANARCHY!
Guard: I AM THE LAW AT THIS GATE!!"
But before the Guard can even finish his legendary temper tantrum, he blinks... and the group is gone.
Suddenly, the teacher and the boys have already vanished into the building. The Guard stands there alone, screaming at a brick wall, looking absolutely traumatized and confused.
Guard: "Wait... what? WHERE DID THEY GO?! DID THEY JUST TELEPORT?! AM I GOING CRAZY?! SOMEONE GIVE ME A RAISE!!"
The teacher and the two new students finally arrive at the classroom.Suddenly, a child enters, moving with a twisted, unnatural gait. A dark, thick stream of blood drips steadily from his nostrils, staining the floor.Paralyzed by a sudden, chilling fear, Somyot scrambles and hides, trembling under a desk.
Somyot: "Mummy, save me! Papa! Grandpa! Grandma! Help! I am too young to be a ghost snack! I want to go home right now - this was not in the brochure!"
_(Rolling his eyes with pure disdain)_
"Will someone...."
