The Law of Webnovels
Chapter 333

.

I took my hands away from the doorknob without a sigh. Chun Dong Ho and Sohn Se Young's voices kept coming from the bathroom like background music.

"Dude, so that's why you've been so nice to her. I thought you were out of your mind since it was my first time to see you not using any F-bombs."

"Ah, but I also tried to be nice to her since I felt sorry. She was so damn kind."

Unlike the way he spoke, his voice didn't sound that apologetic. Sohn Se Young agreed lightly.

"Yeah, why is she so kind? I heard she's close to Lee Mina, so I thought a bossy type of girl would arrive."

At that part, I slightly frowned. I didn't hate to be described as a kind girl, but in this situation, the word 'kind' didn't imply something positive, which made me upset. It sounded like I was a person who would never get angry, no matter what happened to me.

Even though I had those thoughts in mind, I was becoming enervated. What they said wasn't technically wrong. I clicked my tongue. It was a waste of energy and time for me to lose my temper. It was also true that I didn't want to cause a disturbance.

I gently wiped out my sweaty hand on my skirt then turned to look at Yeo Dan oppa. Chun Dong Ho continued to speak.

"But I really felt sorry for her. Don't you think it's better to ask Ban Yeo Dan to be a bridge for Ban Yeo Ryung to reach us?"

"Dude, haven't you heard? That hyeong cherishes his sister very much. They told me to never bring up anything about his sister, not even a joke."

"Well, then there's nothing I can do."

He accepted the reality so readily. Smiling aimlessly, I was about to ask Yeo Dan oppa to leave the spot. That was when I saw the look on his face and tilted my head in wonder.

He remained silent throughout the entire time, so I thought he had been angry with those boys. Just as they said, I was aware that Yeo Dan oppa would vent his anger when Yeo Ryung was involved. I even wondered how weird he was since he didn't kick the door open and immediately jump into those boys.

However, he looked somewhat enigmatic, perhaps because he was just enraged after seeing my face. Once I realized that he was showing a look of concern rather than just a feeling of anger, I tilted my head again.

Something then flashed through my head. Did he think about that?

Leaning myself toward his side, I whispered, "Oh, I don't fight with Yeo Ryung just because of things like that, so don't worry, oppa."

I remembered what happened before I stepped out of her house. Yeo Ryung's parents remembered that Yeo Ryung and I had a massive fight for some reason. Besides, I had seen them for a long time. Yeo Ryung was closer to his brother than her busy parents. Thus, Yeo Dan oppa should also be aware of the fight we had in the past. He would definitely worry about the possibility of me having another big quarrel with Yeo Ryung again since this incident might upset me.

Thinking to that extent, I smiled bitterly. 'But still, he knows nothing about me, doesn't he?' If I were to end my friendship with Ban Yeo Ryung just because I was jealous of a thing like this, I would have done that a hundred times already.

Other than that, this wasn't Yeo Ryung's fault in the first place. I would rather be concerned about Yeo Ryung, who received the malicious attention of these pieces of trash.

At that moment, Yeo Dan oppa opened his mouth with a slight grimace.

"No, I'm not talking about that..."

I shook my head, implying that he didn't need to make an excuse. I repeatedly uttered, "Really, I'm fine. I ain't mad at all... I'm a little surprised, though. But this isn't the first time I've experienced something like this, so..."

However, Yeo Dan oppa frowned even more instead of feeling better.

That was when Sohn Se Young's voice intervened between the two of us. I turned my head again.

"But that girl... she's close to Ban Yeo Ryung, but why doesn't she know Yeo Dan sunbae? At first, I thought they knew each other, but no. Once she had eye contact with him, she just turned her head away."

"Aren't she pretending to not know him?"

Chun Dong Ho's response, which hit the nail on the head, pricked at my conscience. Yeo Dan oppa and I turned our heads and exchanged eye contact. At that moment, Chun Dong Ho's apathetic voice went on.

"Ah, I don't know. Maybe that's just what it is. Honestly, I can't even trust that Ham Donnie is really close with Ban Yeo Ryung."

"Yeah, agreed."

"Why is she so run-of-the-mill, you know?"

With a giggle, Sohn Se Young replied, "Yeah, who would even look at her if she's together with Ban Yeo Ryung?"

"Ha..." I heaved a sigh.

If words could hurt, I would be covered with bruises right now. If that happened, Yeo Dan oppa, standing beside me, would notice it immediately.

Thank goodness it didn't. Looking down at my ungrazed hand, I tried to think about something positive.

Well, at least I knew about the truth. I almost befriended them without knowing their intentions. If so, I would have introduced Ban Yeo Ryung to those bastards like what I had done to Yoon Jung In in the party before.

I was so thankful to hear their conversation here. I kept telling myself how lucky I was. At least, I got to avoid the worst-case scenario.

That was when I heard some snarling noise as if someone was clenching his teeth. I quickly turned my head aside. Facing Yeo Dan oppa's radiant black eyes, I asked in surprise, "Yeo Dan oppa?"

Before I could stop him, the bathroom door swung open with a loud thud. The quickly opened door =bumped against the opposite wall with a thud before returning to its original spot. Between the gap, Sohn Se Young and Chun Dong Ho's pale faces came into my sight.

Once the door closed, I grabbed Yeo Dan oppa's arm.

"Oppa, what are you doing!?" I shouted. Honestly, I felt relaxed in my head, but this place was a café in our neighborhood, where we lived for over a decade. Besides, the café was packed with students from other schools since it was a Saturday!

If we made any troubles, rumors would spread in a flash; moreover, when people found out that Yeo Dan oppa was the one who caused the tumult, things would disperse more hectically.

I yelled in haste, "Oppa, please do it with your words! With words!"

"But..."

"I promise I will take care of Yeo Ryung."

Yeo Dan oppa, who tried to say something with a frown, shut his mouth once he heard my remark. He then asked me, still with a grimace, "What did you just say?"

"I'll make sure not to let those bastards approach Yeo Ryung, so please don't worry, oppa."

"No, that's not what I'm talking about..."

"You should resolve this after discussing it with your friends. Why are you trying to pick a fight? Anyway, we're the ones that overheard them, so if you lose your temper here, it will make us feel better right now, but rumors might spread later about how Ban Yeo Dan listening eavesdropped on someone else's conversation. What are you gonna do then?"

"I don't care."

His determined response made me feel stuffy. 'You don't care? Come on, those boys look like they know so many people.'

Once bad rumors spread, it would be difficult to straighten things out. He might also be aware of that, but why was he acting that way? I tried to argue with him like that.

Yeo Dan oppa suddenly blurted out something, which made my eyes pop.

"What about you?"

"Huh?"

"I'm talking about you, not Yeo Ryung."

I didn't get what he was trying to say, so I tilted my head in wonder, thinking, 'Me?'

"Are you okay?"

For some reason, his voice, which echoed in the narrow hallway, sounded somewhat unreal. I just blinked swiftly after hearing his immediate question before replying bitterly, "Uh... um... I'm... okay... for real."

Even if I emphasized that I was fine, he tossed another question as if this truly mattered to him.

"Aren't you mad?"

"No, I'm not mad. I'm really fine. I'm used to these things..."

"Used to these things?"

For some reason, Yeo Dan oppa repeated my words. Feeling like a kid getting scolded by her teacher for no reason, I just nodded. I had no idea why he was looking at me with that frightening expression.
