The Law of Webnovels -
Chapter 340
.
Shaking my head, I walked straight towards the arcade right beside the cinema. Thankfully, Yoon Jung In, Shin Suh Hyun, and the other boys weren't there this time.
Feeling excited for some reason, I brought Yeo Dan oppa to a few game machines and inserted coins. However, it didn't seem like he's used to hanging around in the arcades. Touching the light toy gun connected to a popular zombie game 'House of the Dead' as if he felt embarrassed, he uttered, "I never played these kinds of things."
"No worries, oppa. You'll get used to it!" I yelled at him vigorously. However, in less than five minutes, I was dead since my hand slipped when I had to throw a grenade. Watching him surviving alone and leveling up to a mini-boss, I asked him with bleary eyes, "Are you sure this is your first time?"
"Yeah."
Well, I didn't know him as the kind of person who would lie.
What could he not do well except for cooking? Once again, feeling God's unfairness, I led him to a different game. I was weirdly determined to find, at least, one game he couldn't do well. However, Yeo Dan oppa won in almost every game, including rhythm and fighting games, while telling that this was his first attempt in all of them. He even broke the record in the basketball game and gave me a huge teddy bear, his winning prize.
"I'll hold it for you if it's heavy."
"I'm fine, oppa..."
I pulled the big plush toy into my arms before murmuring, 'We definitely look like a couple now. Unless other people heard our conversation, they'd think we're a couple no matter what we do...'
I desperately prayed once again to prevent us from running into anyone in town today.
Meanwhile, time continued to push forward. Once we stepped out of the arcade, the sky was already tinged with dark purple. After a short discussion, Yeo Dan oppa and I went to a family restaurant, where we always dined in with Yeo Ryung.
Still, something felt lacking for some reason. Looking down at the clearly emptied plate, I wondered. "Hmm."
Directing his eyes on me, Yeo Dan oppa asked with his chin on his palm.
"Is there anywhere else you want to go?"
Maybe Yeo Dan oppa was about to suit everything to please me today. Well, he usually treated me that way, though...
Was he concerned about what Chun Dong Ho said to me throughout the day? I had already forgotten that part.
Frankly speaking, today could have been the worst day of my life, but Yeo Dan oppa turned it into the best day instead. I wondered if this was what I would feel when I dated a handsome character in a dating simulation game, although I was out of touch with reality. However, we weren't actually dating. I moved my fork around the plate for no reason.
Anywhere else I wanted to go... Honestly, I didn't want to return home with this lingering feeling. Something then flashed through my mind. I quickly lifted my head.
"Yeo Dan oppa, I want to go to karaoke."
Now that I had come to think of it, I never went to karaoke with him before. I flung a question brightly, "Can we?"
"If you want."
He returned the same response as before.
Bending my steps toward the karaoke in excitement, I tried to guess what he would be singing. Ballad? Rock? I couldn't even imagine him singing at all. Not just songs, but I also couldn't imagine Yeo Dan oppa taking vocal tests during the music class.
'Oh, I'm so looking forward to it!' I shouted those words out in my thoughts and tried to step toward the karaoke.
"Eh? What are you doing here?"
Once someone dropped the question, I froze on the spot. Yeo Dan oppa, who was descending the stairs behind me, halted his steps.
Standing still, I put my brain to work. It was clear that the person knew Yeo Dan oppa, but who would it be? No matter how much I tried to remember, I still couldn't remember who that voice belonged to. Feeling too scared to check the person's face, I hesitated. It took me a while to work up the courage and turn my head at last.
A towering figure, who was a head taller than me, stood in front of the fridge right beside me. He had a handsome face, a friendly vibe, and a casual outfit that confused me. Was he a high school student or a college boy? I stared at the stranger with a puzzled look, wondering, 'Who the heck is he to talk knowingly about Yeo Dan oppa?'
That was when Yeo Dan oppa took a step forward and stood in front of me.
"Ji Yeon Woo."
I blinked swiftly at Yeo Dan oppa, who was blocking my sight as if he was trying to protect me. Were they in some kind of rivalry? My heart began to pound.
The guy named Ji Yeon Woo narrowed his brown eyes. Looking back and forth between Yeo Dan oppa and me, who was having a giant teddy bear in my arms, he blurted out with a smile, "Oh, is she that girl? Your one and only sibling?"
What he said startled me. 'What the heck is he talking about? Is he confusing me to the... one and only Ban Yeo Ryung? Is he blind?'
When I had those rude thoughts against a stranger, Yeo Dan oppa stroke a retort with a frown.
"No, so just mind your own business."
Yeo Dan oppa's savage remarks never sounded familiar to me no matter how many times I had heard them. Blinking my eyes, I looked at Yeo Dan oppa and the stranger alternately.
Even observing Yeo Dan oppa's attitude, I couldn't grasp whether the guy was his friend or an enemy. That was because... frankly speaking, Yeo Dan oppa treated his friends more recklessly than he did to strangers.
At that moment, Ji Yeon Woo's eyes widened upon hearing Yeo Dan oppa's response. He then turned around and left the spot while shouting out a remark, which made me realize something, at last.
"Hey, everyone, come on over here! Ban Yeo Dan... our Yeo Dan...!"
That person...
"He is with a different girl, not his sister!"
... would definitely be Yeo Dan oppa's friend.
"What!?"
"Holy sh*t! Oh, lord!!!"
Watching people shrieking that way and dashing outside the door, I felt my jaw dropping onto the floor.
We were soon surrounded by a group of people who swarmed towards us like a colony of ants.
Oh, my god... Barely escaping from Yoon Jung In and other boys, I prayed so enthusiastically that I would no longer run into anyone I knew today. That happened just a while ago, but now, about fifteen people were around us.
Lifting his hand, Yeo Dan oppa covered my face and hid me behind him. Once he took that action, the group of people cried out, "How can you do this to us?!"
"Why aren't you letting us see our daughter-in-law's face?"
Yeo Dan oppa replied with a slightly exhausted expression, "My father is at home."
Just in time, the owner of the karaoke, waiting and seeing the overall situation, scowled at us, "What are you all doing here? Go back to your room!"
The crowd flinched at his howl and moved like a wave of the ocean. In an unguarded moment, we have been swept along in the group and stepped into the room.
Burying my nose onto Yeo Dan oppa's back, I heard loud music coming out and barely lifted my head. Inside the room, which was large enough to accommodate about twenty people, more students from other schools other than Nam Gye High School students stayed there. A few high school girls, who were wearing uniforms of a neighborhood high school, were sitting on the couch. They soon opened their eyes wide when they found Yeo Dan oppa and me.
Covering their mouths with their hands, the girls came toward us.
"What's going on? I heard Yeo Dan wasn't coming here."
"Wow, unbelievable! In real life..."
While the girls murmured those words slightly in a daze, the boys behind them made a fuss while greeting Yeo Dan oppa mischievously, but soon after, everyone's eyes were bent on me.
