The Law of Webnovels
Chapter 365

.

Once my lips flinched, the girls walking to this side also broke their magical silence. Switching their gazes to me, they voiced out at the same time, "We told her first that we have something to talk about!"

"Don't go after them. Understood?" said Yoo Chun Young. His following action dampened the girls' aggressive spirits. While I stood still on the spot as if I were nailed to the ground, Yoo Chun Young bent his steps and came close to me. Stretching out his hand again, he dropped a remark that was slightly different from his previous words.

"Don't go."

Without any response, I just stared at his hand.

The pouring autumn rain felt cold. I wasn't sure whether his fingertips, which were stretched toward me, looked unusually pale because he was born that way or due to the freezing rain. Carrying the container on one side of my arms, I finally stretched out the other to grab his hand. When I did that, I felt the warmth arising from our entwined hands.

Without saying anything, I just moved my arms to give an eye signal to the Kim twins. Yoo Chun Young gave us an excellent opportunity to escape, after all. Besides, the senior girls would have switched their object of resentment to Yoo Chun Young.

I mean, what else could they do? Unlike the Kim twins, who were pretending to behave like run-of-the-mill students, Yoo Chun Young was known as the son of the Balhae Group.

Once they received my signal, the Kim twins heaved a sigh then walked toward us; at the same time, Yoo Chun Young took a step forward. No one interrupted us as we moved through the crowd.

We headed straight into the gym. Yoo Chun Young, who was holding my hand, took out his phone from his pocket with his other hand. Bringing the phone near to his ear, he said shortly, "Send another person to pick up the delivery at the back gate. Something happened."

I looked up at him blankly. Folding his flip phone with a smack, Yoo Chun Young squinted his eyes at me. Hesitating for a second, I asked in a small voice, "... You were there to pick up the delivery just like us, huh?"

"Yeah..."

"Why weren't you joining the match?"

When I watched the dodgeball or basketball game, I didn't have any memory of Yoo Chun Young's hair color running around the court. Thus, I thought his blue-black hair was relatively less noticeable than other fancy hair colors.

Yoo Chun Young replied, "Because I'm a model. I shouldn't get any scars."

"Ah, that's right... that makes sense."

If he got wounded or accidentally had scr.a.p.ed knees, Yoo Chun Young would be troubled. If his face got injured, that would be a colossal disaster.

No one spoke for quite a while. Only the sound of rain echoed in the silence. Then, we arrived at the gym. Before entering the building, Yoo Chun Young released my hand and turned around. However, I grabbed him first and said, "Um, hey..."

Not only Yoo Chun Young but also the Kim twins turned around to look at me. Hesitating for a second, I asked a favor to the twins.

"If you guys don't mind, would you take this box into the gym? I'll be right back."

Exchanging eye contact, the twins shrugged. Kim Hye Woo came close to me and took the container. My hands quickly emptied.

"Thanks."

"Nah, it ain't even heavy. We'll also save a burger for you."

"Ah, yeah. Thanks again."

'Let's go,' said Kim Hye Woo while looking at Kim Hye Hill. The twins soon disappeared into the gym, but before turning around, Kim Hye Hill sent a cold glance at Yoo Chun Young.

From the moment I pulled his hand, Yoo Chun Young stood beside me without any movement, just like a statue.

"Let's talk for a second," I uttered. Looking down at me wordlessly for quite a while, Yoo Chun Young nodded slowly.

There was a small parking lot for bikes or motorcycles behind the gym. The area had a slate roof, so it provided shelter from the rain. When we got there, I folded my umbrella, being careful not to hit the parked bikes. Yoo Chun Young also folded his umbrella quietly beside me.

Lowering my head, I watched the raindrops falling from the tips of the umbrella and drew some round traces on the ground in silence. After a while, I broke the ice.

"You know..."

Yoo Chun Young nodded, "Uh-huh."

"Even if someone else told me to come with them, I would have followed that person."

I didn't check the look on his face. Dropping my gaze at the ground, I quickly continued, "I wasn't trying to follow and go with you. It's just that I would feel awkward if the twins get in trouble because of me; you were there just in time; that's why I followed you."

"..."

"Even if it wasn't you, I would have left there with someone else."

Once I finished my words, I wiped my face with wet hands since I needed something to cool my head. Looking down at the ground, I spoke to myself, 'This wasn't actually what I tried to say...' I was about to ask him if he came to me after finding out that I was in an awkward situation. If that were the case, I wanted to thank him first and throw other questions I had in mind these days.

What the heck was happening? If he couldn't tell me about it, I tried to ask him cautiously as to when this weird thing happening between us would last. Lastly, I wanted to know what I had done wrong. However, as soon as I detached my lips, those whining words slipped from my mouth. It sounded so ridiculous and absurd to me. After all, I barely got out of that tricky situation because of Yoo Chun Young's assistance.

However, I couldn't keep my mouth shut. Instead, I quickly continued, "Of course, I shouldn't follow the girls even if they told me to go with them." Feeling his gaze piercing through my face, I concluded my words.

"But I must not always go with you when you ask me to."

"..."

Only the sound of rain continued in silence. I lifted my wet hand to rub my forehead. I uttered, "Why do you always talk like that? Come here..."

"..."

"How can you...?" Slurring the end of my sentence, I bit my lips. "How can you talk like that when you avoided me for two weeks?"

Watching Yoo Chun Young keep his silence, I shoved the question I couldn't bear to ask into the back of my head. 'Do I always have to follow you when you ask me to?'

The look on Yoo Chun Young's face in the past overlapped on him, who had stretched his hand toward me.

'Come here, Ham Donnie.'

I couldn't remember when I first heard that word, but I could recall the last time he spoke to me that way. The situations were the opposite back then and now. Around that time, I tried to avoid the Four Heavenly Kings, but now, they were the ones avoiding me.

Escaping from the Four Heavenly Kings, I ran into an empty music room and spoke with Ruda.

'If you feel that uncomfortable, why don't you stop befriending them?'

I shook my head at his question.

No, it was my fault for not accepting them as my friends. Yoo Chun Young, who later came to me, waved his hand and said, 'Come here.' He spoke that way in an attitude that looked like he didn't doubt I would come to him.

Now that I had come to think about it for the first time, perhaps, they still trusted me as much as I did. I might have been a part of their everyday life. No wonder they were the most significant people in my life, so they could have perceived my feelings toward them and naturally occupied my house at the weekend without hesitation.

They knew I would not become angry about it. Staying beside them was always the best choice for me. If I learned about this fact a few days earlier, I would have been more delighted.

It wasn't that long ago since I had been glad to find out how tightly we have been connected to each other beyond question.

What were we doing right now, though? What the heck was going on for God's sake?!
