The Law of Webnovels
Chapter 332

.

I agreed with a smile, "Yeah, they seem nice," then suddenly added, "But it was a little uncomfortable to follow them since everyone seemed close except me. That's why I felt so delighted and relieved to see you."

The moment when I looked up at Yeo Dan oppa thoughtlessly, I found him losing his blank expression momentarily. Staring down at me with irritated eyes, he replied, "You were talking well."

"No, I wasn't. I felt very nervous. Wasn't it obvious?"

"Not really."

"Oh, that's good to hear."

Yeo Dan oppa still fastened his gaze at me while showing a complicated emotion on his face. Suddenly, he raised his hand and disheveled my hair. It wasn't his usual, cautious touch but more of an intimate and casual gesture.

'What's going on?' While I adjusted my messy hair, Yeo Dan oppa quickly walked away, leaving me in the alley.

"Ah, hold on!" I ran after him in a hurry.

Halting our steps in front of the café, we checked our intentions once again.

"So, you want to keep staying here, right?"

I nodded after hearing his question, replying, "Yeah, now that I'm here, I'll stay with them for a while. I even dressed up good for this." Speaking like that, I swayed the blouse I borrowed from Yeo Ryung. Yeo Dan oppa's face turned slightly enigmatic.

I asked, "What about you?"

"I'm leaving."

I nodded again after hearing his immediate response. He was genuinely leaving this place alone, whether I helped him to go or not. Since his friends deceived him into joining this event, Yeo Dan oppa was kind of a victim. Although he tried to leave, he didn't have to feel sorry for the rest of us. If there were someone who should feel sorry for us, it would have to be his friends, not him.

Being aware that he couldn't stand uncomfortable situations, I tilted my head. Thinking about it now, it was kind of praiseworthy for him to stay in the café until now. Was he waiting here for me since I looked nervous? Having that thought in my mind, I soon shook my head. 'Come on, don't be deluded. He might have been feeling sorry for the kids...'

That was when I heard him flinging a question nonchalantly. I lifted my head.

"Who are you gonna sit with?"

"Huh? Probably the one I spoke with the most? I mean, as long as he doesn't hate me."

"Chun Dong Ho?"

'Wow, you remembered his name.' Thinking that way, I nodded at him.

"Yeah, maybe."

"I see," he said shortly.

Yeo Dan oppa didn't add anything more. Before stepping into the café again, we checked the situation inside through the glass wall.

Thankfully, no one was looking into our direction. Some applied lip tint while looking at the mirror; some checked their phones with their heads on their chests.

I thought it would be fine to step inside now. Walking side by side with Yeo Dan oppa, I flung the door open. Once I got closer to the passage through the bathroom, I turned to that side and said, "Ah, oppa, let me go to the bathroom."

"Me too," responding that way, he soon walked after me through the narrow hallway. The woman and man's bathrooms were standing side by side.

When we opened each of the doors simultaneously, I heard a familiar voice coming through the man's bathroom door. I paused and turned my head.

The voice's owner was Sohn Se Young, one of the boys who left the spot earlier to go to the bathroom. What surprised me wasn't the voice's origin, but the conversation he was having with someone.

"Gosh, why does it have to be Ahn Ji Young?"

His irritated tone, covered with a veil of aggressiveness, made me flinch instinctively. Turning my head, I murmured in a low voice.

"What's wrong with him...?"

He didn't show any objection until now. Besides, he was going to the same cram school as Ji Young. In other words, they had been hanging out quite often. Being frozen for a moment with my hand on the doorknob, I threw a glance at my side. Yeo Dan oppa was also standing still while holding the doorknob.

That was when I realized that Sohn Se Young didn't go to the bathroom alone. 'Then his conversation partner now would be...' Once I had that thought, someone's voice came over the door.

"That's what I'm saying! I thought she was joking about bringing her here, but she really showed up."

I could grasp the sarcastic tone in his relaxed voice as if he was talking with downcast eyes. His way of speaking sounded very casual as if he was used to backbiting others. Once I heard that remark, I felt my heart sink.

It was Chun Dong Ho. He was talking in an utterly different way from earlier when he spoke about what he liked. Sohn Se Young's voice continued.

"Geez, I could only stand her during classes, not here. Do we have to see her even outside our classrooms now? Shoot! Why is Moon Sarah close to Ahn Ji Young? That's the reason why this thing happened?"

Wow... I clicked my tongue with a big grimace. How could he talk like that?

Sohn Se Young uttered again, "Gosh, who should I be partners with? Well, I must not sit beside Lee Mina, right?"

Chun Dong Ho's calm voice replied, "Uh-huh, you know Kim Jimin likes Lee Mina."

"Does she also like Kim Jimin?"

"How should we know?"

"Lee Mina was the only one who didn't even glance at Ban Yeo Dan while other girls were just googling over him." Sohn Se Young's voice suddenly subsided, "Gosh, the more I think about it, the more annoyed I get! Why did that hyeong send Ban Yeo Dan here? Fu*k!"

The arrow was pointing in this side out of the blue, which made me hardly breathe. Pouting my lips for a while, I turned my head and found Yeo Dan oppa shrugging his shoulders with his usual, nonchalant look.

Meanwhile, Sohn Se Young's backbiting kept on ruthlessly in the bathroom. It was like a runaway train without a brake.

"Not only those hyeongs but also Ban Yeo Dan can't distinguish when they should join such an event! Although we agreed to it, how can he come here? Isn't he insane?"

"True."

"Fu*k! What should we do? We're like playing a supporting role here. Sh*t, so annoying! I'm not here to be treated like that!"

Listening to their conversations in silence, I shook my head. 'Those bastards are out of their minds!' I murmured to myself. Sohn Se Young was rude, but Chun Dong Ho, who replied passively such as 'Yeah,' 'Uh-huh,' 'True,' 'How do I know?' was also behaving the same way. Both of them made me feel so disgusted.

I, who said that I would stay here until now, decided to tell Yeo Dan oppa about my plan afterward. I should ask him to bring me back home. I didn't want to spend even a minute with those bastards. I would just take a nap.

That was when I tried to pull Yeo Dan oppa's sleeve. Their conversations switched to something else out of the blue. I drew in my breath.

"Dude, what are you gonna do?"

"What?"

"That girl... what was her name again?"

"Ah, Ham Donnie."

Once my name slipped from Chun Dong Ho's mouth, my heart froze. He said my name apathetically as if he were talking about some animal's name in the zoo.

Sohn Se Young pushed him, "Yeah, her, Ham Donnie... What are you gonna do with her?"

"Didn't you hear that before?"

"About what?"

Chun Dong Ho's following remark smashed my nape like a cold wave. I felt a sudden shiver down my spine.

"Ham Donnie, that girl is super close to Ban Yeo Ryung. I heard they're next-door neighbors. Everyone in So Hyun High School knows this story."

The moment I heard those words, my eyes opened wide, but I closed them and tried to stop my trembling hands. 'So that's what this is all about,' I murmured to myself.

My shock and fright didn't last long. I had gone through so many things to be surprised because of this kind of thing. Nothing happened once I entered high school, so I forgot about these things, but I never knew I would recall such memories in this way.
