66 The Morose Angel, Agonising Over Her Bleak Presen (2/2)

Min Chae's eyes glowed with understanding, ”I get what you mean! I studied a lot yesterday, but nothing seems to come out in my head when I was answering the questions just now,” she cried.

”What are you guys talking about?” Jang Mi asked as she joined them as they headed to the school gates to go home.

”Nothing much. Just about how difficult the exam was,” Min Chae sighed with a pout.

”Difficult? I thought it was pretty easy. Even a few of the questions that Gun-sunbaenim spotted for us came out,” Jang Mi commented.

”...You b*tch...” Min Chae glared at Jang Mi exasperatedly. Did she have to flaunt how smart she was all the time? Min Chae looked as if she was ready to throttle the other girl.

Jang Mi was not the least bit intimidated by Min Chae. She simply shrugged, ”But anyways, Yeo Ri-ah, is Gun-sunbaenim going to tutor us again today?”

Yeo Ri paused in thought for a second. Then, she shook her head. ”I don't think we can today. Maybe next time.”

”Oh,” Jang Mi muttered in disappointment. However, she quickly gathered herself, hiding her reaction.

”Why not?” Min Chae asked.

”That—” Yeo Ri struggled to answer Min Chae, but luckily, she was saved from answering the girl. Seeing that Hyuk had already been waiting to pick her up as he had promised, she quickly excused herself. ”Sorry, girls. My Oppa is here; I need to go now. See you tomorrow!”

”Ah—wait, Yeo Ri—” Min Chae called out to the girl. However, she was already far away.

The two girls watched as Yeo Ri approached Hyuk who was leaning on his motorbike. Seeing her closing in, he got up, picked up the other helmet, and helped her put it on after exchanging a few words. The two drove away immediately after, letting the onlookers eat the bike's fumes as they speculate on Hyuk's identity.

The sight of the school idol getting on some guy's bike riled up the boys. Those that had been interested in her could not help but wail in anguish. Was that her boyfriend, they thought.

Judging by how they acted with each other, it was clear that they were close. Those who weren't in the know could only imagine what their relationship was.

That day, unbeknownst to Yeo Ri, she had broken many hearts.
