The Law of Webnovels
Chapter 367

.

The ample space was buzzing with students picking up balls and cleaning up the courts. Those who were at the second-floor spectator zone were already downstairs on the first floor. Wandering with the students for quite a while, I barely found Class 1-8 and walked close to my classmates.

Our principal, who just stepped onto the stage, announced the result of Sports Day.

"Class 3-4, 2-5, and 1-1, please come up to the stage."

Ah, just as we expected. Having that thought in mind, I clapped my hands apathetically.

Among the three students lining in front of the principal, Eun Hyung's red hair stood forth by far. Although they were the final winners in each grade, we still had to award the semifinal winners and the best cheerleading class. Once the principal announced the next prizewinners, our class applauded in delight.

"Class 3-8, 2-1, and 1-8, please come up to the stage."

"Yay!"

Before going up to the stage, Yoon Jung In turned around and gestured a sign of victory to us while throwing his fist in the air. Dashing toward the front, he nearly tripped on the steps to the stage.

When the principal finished giving the last award to the best cheerleading class, we finalized all the events and ceremonies on Sports Day. All the students in the gym turned around to leave one after another.

Watching the seniors stepping outside the door first, other kids began to vent their complaints.

"Ah, does it make sense that we have classes in the afternoon?"

"You're telling me! I wish they would let us go home straight."

"Should I just leave without a trace?"

Although they spoke that way, no one was bold enough to leave the school without permission. However, a few kids were already planning to file a sick leave by feigning illness.

Listening to their prattle absent-mindedly, I didn't notice that most of the classes already left the gym. Someone then pulled my arm, which made me flinch in surprise. Once I turned back, I saw the Kim twins standing behind me.

"Donnie."

"Ah, yeah, let's go."

Once I replied that way and took a step forward, they shook their heads. Eh? My eyes widened. The twins pointed behind me, so I turned around.

"Oh..." I uttered in a small voice. Eun Hyung was looking at me through the people rushing out of the door, waving his hand. When our eyes met, he flaunted a grin, which looked more cautious and softer than usual.

"How've you been?"

Once he approached me and flung that question, tears almost gushed out of my eyes.

* * *

I had to bid farewell to the Kim twins again to speak with Eun Hyung again. Feeling a little sorry, I tapped the ground with my toes. Eun Hyung offered some words of consolation.

"I'm sorry. I should have talked to you earlier, but I didn't have a chance to be away."

I shook my head, replying, "That's okay. You must have been busy preparing for Sports Day. Besides, you live with Chun Young."

"Still..."

Without responding, I just turned my head to look at Eun Hyung. He was speaking severely with no signs of a smile.

"Still, I'm sorry."

Looking up at him for a moment, I shook my head again.

"Why are you apologizing? Those two bastards... they are the ones who kept you away from reaching out to me."

"Haha." That was when Eun Hyung recovered his smile and shook his head. Looking back at me, he asked, "Haven't you ever talked to them?"

"I did bump into Eun Jiho in the school entrance in the morning."

Eun Hyung asked carefully, "Really? What... was it like...?"

Shrugging my shoulders at his question, I replied, "I asked him to talk, but he refused because I'm busy dating someone."

"Aha... ha... ha..." he smiled awkwardly. Lifting his hand to cover his forehead, Eun Hyung murmured in a small voice, 'Geez, dude...'

If I spoke further, it would sound like backbiting—although it already was—so I just shut my mouth. Eun Hyung asked me again, "What about Chun Young?"

"Oh, he's..."

"Uh-huh."

"He said sorry, and..."

"And?"

Dropping my gaze at the floor, I replied, "I told him I thought we would stay together now and forever; he said he also thought the same and wanted to make things better between us."

"Really?" replied Eun Hyung with an increased voice. I nodded my head.

"Uh-huh, but if we were to keep this going, he told me that I shouldn't know why he's behaving that way."

"Ah..."

Eun Hyung touched his forehead again. Listening to his sigh, I shrugged and tried to show him a grin.

"Oh, no! We decided to talk again once the rain stopped. Well, this is a quite positive sign, isn't it?"

As if my effort to smile had worked, the agonized look on Eun Hyung's face slightly cleared up. Heaving a deep sigh, he uttered, "I see. That sounds good, though."

I smiled back at his grin. We left the gym and returned to our classrooms.

'Once I returned to my classroom, I'll get my share for the winning prize of Sports Day, have lunch, and take classes in the afternoon. What was the next class again? Did I bring my textbook?' Rambling those thoughts in my head, I heard a voice from beside me.

"Oh, I must ask you."

"Huh?"

"How's your relationship going on so far?"

"Ah..." Blurting out shortly, I stopped my steps, but it didn't last long. I continued walking again and uttered with a clumsy smile, "Well, it's just... nothing so special, I guess."

"Are you sure?"

"Uh-huh. We just do what others do and have more time to see each other... Maybe that's all?" Replying that way, I added in an undertone, "Actually, all we do together is study."

Eun Hyung burst into laughter. Walking along with him, I thought, 'I could unveil the truth about Yeo Dan oppa and my relationship later.' Getting refused several times already, it wasn't even easy to bring up the story to Eun Hyung. I felt sorry that I didn't give him the correct answer, but repeating, 'Later... later...' in my head, I bid farewell to Eun Hyung and returned to my class.

We had classes in the afternoon, which seemed uncertain before they actually started. Watching the kids who had some hopes groan in disappointment, I opened up my textbook.

Good things were, most of the afternoon class teachers were quite chill, and today, they didn't collect our phones. My seat was close to the very back of the classroom, so I could clearly see other kids typing on their phones continuously under their desks. Resting my chin on my palm, I also sat idle and glanced at my phone, but the only messages I received were all from my classmates.

No incoming messages from the Four Heavenly Kings, of course, and even Yeo Dan oppa wasn't keeping in touch. The only thing I got from him was the suspicious text message I received earlier.

Putting my phone in my pocket, I chewed the tip of my pen and murmured, 'Well, he told me to wait for him after school, so maybe I should just do what he says.'

I looked outside the window on the off-chance that the weather might change; however, the rain didn't stop all afternoon.

* * *

When the classes ended, Ban Yeo Ryung came in through the front door as always. However, I was bewildered at the loud remark she made once she stepped into our classroom.

"Ta-da! Donnie, I borrowed an umbrella. We can use this on our way home."

Eh? My eyes opened wide. It wasn't difficult to estimate where she borrowed that rainy day essential. Many boys dedicated their umbrellas to Ban Yeo Ryung on pouring wet days. Usually, she refused all their offers, but there could be exceptions sometimes. That wasn't the reason why I got surprised, though.

I asked her, "You borrowed it? Why?"

"Huh? Well, that's because..." Frowning for a second, Ban Yeo Ryung looked outside the window and replied, "Because it's raining...?"

Like what she just said, the rain was still heavily pouring, but that wasn't the part I was pointing out.

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

"What?"

"Yeo Dan oppa says, he'll pick us up," with that reply, I took out my phone. Yeo Dan oppa's text message was still there in my inbox. Checking that message, Yeo Ryung furrowed her forehead.

I asked her again, "Didn't you get it?"

"Huh? No, not at all."

Once Ban Yeo Ryung replied that way, an awkward silence ensued between us. With a grimace, I murmured, 'Eh? That's weird... It can't happen. How could Yeo Dan oppa only reach out to me without notifying his soulmate sister?'
