Chapter 4 (2/2)

“Oh, you came into the classroom with those three?”

“Yeah, yeah I did.”

“Have you ever talked to them?”

A girl made a space for me. I happened to sit there and join the group. When I glanced at my original seat, there were boys there instead, talking about Ban Yeo Ryung. I smiled and opened my lips.

“Oh, we just came together because I was late. I don’t really know them.”

“Oh yeah? That’s sad.”

“I know him, that silver-haired boy. He is Eun Jiho. We went to the same school.”

Luckily, another girl continued the conversation, so all the eyes were drawn to her. Someone asked in a hurry.

“Oh, really? How is he?”

“He always goes to school in a limo — no joke. I heard he’s the only son of a rich family, so he was raised like a prince. It’s a rumor but isn’t silver hair so rare?”

“Wow, that’s amazing. He’s handsome and rich.”

“That’s not the end of it, he was always the top of our school.”

“Wow, really? Cool, very cool.”

I sat down with my arms crossed and nodded my head. Wow, he not only looked like the main character in a movie, but he also had everything. He’s gorgeous, rich, and successful in grades. Isn’t he like the male protagonist in a movie then?

The girl continued feeling excited.

“The cute boy next to him is Woo Jooin. They have been friends since they were young! Jooin is easy to be friends with, very social and cute.”

“Omg, I love it.”

The girls next to me were holding each other’s hands with joy. That’s true, I nodded.

Jooin was actually nice and outgoing. From when he grabbed my hands in our first encounter, I felt that he was touchy as if he used to live abroad.

Someone asked, “Eun Hyung also seems very nice. As you all saw, he was voted as the class president by the kids who went to school together.”

I reminded myself of my first impression of Eun Hyung at the school office. His vivid red hair under the white sunlight was truly remarkable. What about his eyes? They were gray with a hint of green.

When thinking about his hair color, he did not seem that nice. His smiling face and the way he talked were, however, very polite and kind. He sure is, I heard somebody responding.

“Yeah, he really is a model student. You know the one who teachers love and the kids in the class want to be friends with? Eun Hyung is perfect. Even his personality.”

“Wow, he’s so cool…”

“I want to go out with him.”

Some girls looked like they were stoned while they looked at him. Kwon Eun Hyung had his head turned to talk with Woo Jooin and Eun Jiho, sitting behind. They already seemed to enjoy conversing with them. Maybe because they have something in common, living a perfect life. I thought absently.

Then someone’s voice struck into my ears like a clap of thunder.

“Those boys, shouldn’t we call them the Four Heavenly Kings?

Hahahahaha! I dropped my head in my surprise and coughed like I was puking. Thank goodness I wasn’t eating anything. If I was drinking coke, I would have spat everything out! I stopped coughing and looked up in wonder.

The girl who talked about the ‘Four Heavenly Kings’ was staring at me as if she saw something strange. No, I wiped out my lips and thought.

The Four Heavenly Kings? Are you out of your mind? Isn’t that the word written on the web novel I read yesterday!? If they would really use that word, our everyday conversation will go like this.

“Hey look at that, Yoo Chun Young of the Four Heavenly Kings are going to school!”

“God, how gorgeous! No, look over there, there is also Eun Jiho of the Four Heavenly Kings!”

“How can there be two of the Four Heavenly Kings walking at the same time!?”

I would cringe to death if I hear all that!

I was about to ask if they were serious. Until someone responded back.

“Hey, that’s a good idea! The Four Heavenly Kings, it even sounds good!”

“…”

It looked like I was in Alice in Wonderland. I looked aside with my eyes wide opened.

Are they serious? Do they really think that sounds good? To top it off, someone else clasped her hands and shouted, “So good!”

Then the word the ‘Four Heavenly Kings’ spread out to the whole class in the blink of an eye.

It wasn’t even a few minutes until all the girls in class mumbled the ‘Four Heavenly Kings’ while looking at the four boys. Holy mother of pearl, I clenched my fist with a pale face.

No, this is too much. I should get out of here, I thought. They all seemed to be losing their minds. Except for me.
