Chapter 45 (2/2)

“Amazing!”

“I’m so jealous.”

I coughed until Yi Ruda, the female cross-dresser beside me, who seemed to be a tolerable person for most of the situations, became thunderstruck. As I barely relieved myself, I had my hands on the desk, remaining silent for a while.

I thought, ‘Oh yes. This world is still where I belong…’

Then it would be okay. I mean, was it? While I groaned for a second, a glance darted towards me from the back.

When I turned around, I saw the two impressively calm-looking twins watching me with concern.

They seemed to be the only people among the classroom who realized the ridiculousness of my middle school’s name. At least a few normal people existed here. I shed invisible tears toward them and diverted my gaze back to the front.

All right, not that bad. As soon as I had that thought in mind, Yi Ruda who was next to my seat suddenly stood up. I felt a sense of futility then.

Oh, yes. I forgot about her. The female crossdresser, Yi Ruda. She was another female protagonist in this web novel who replaced Ban Yeo Ryung in her absence right now.

She looked around with a full smile on her beautiful face. Then she spoke beamingly.

“Hi, my name is Yi Ruda! I’m from America so I’m still not familiar with Korea. Hope you guys can help me out. Nice to meet you all!”

Her voice was so loud that her words echoed around the whole classroom for a while, deafening my ears.

I sat vacantly and stared at her. Yi Ruda then dropped onto her chair and winked her blue eyes at me. Some kids burst into cheers saying something like ‘very cute’ or ‘handsome’ at her. These roars made me frown my face again.

The word ‘handsome’ was usually for guys; although, Yi Ruda was about 172cm tall, how could they just accept that she’s a guy?

Thus, when I responded with a frown instead of a smile to her wink, I could see the wonder in her eyes. She asked me with a concerned expression.

“Are you okay? What’s wrong, Donnie?”

“Uh… nothing. I’m fine.”

I could not come up with any excuses, so I replied nonchalantly instead. As if she read something unnatural from my response, she kept her stare at me for a while.

When I realized that she would never stop gazing at me, an impressive voice flew over from behind. I turned my head to that sound immediately.

The girl from the twins was standing up at a slow pace. Her jet-black eyes, with a hint of blue under her blue-black lashes, glanced over the classroom before it fell onto me. It took my breath away for a second.

Soon, she stared at the teacher with an unruffled expression. Then she slowly opened her un-tinted lips.

“I’m Kim Hye Hill from Suk Bong Middle School. Next to me is Kim Hye Woo, my twin brother born 3 minutes earlier than me. Nice to meet you.”

I thought she would then get back to her seat immediately, but she hesitantly showed a grin instead. It was not a bright smile but still attractive nonetheless. As she sat down, the boy next to her left stood up.

He truly looked the same as Kim Hye Hill except for his height. His slim, lean, and tall body surely looked well-proportioned enough for him to consider a career in modeling.

He also had that calm face look on his face as he looked upon us.

He then shrugged hand said, “Kim Hye Hill already introduced me so… again, I’m Kim Hye Woo from Suk Bong Middle School. Nice to meet you all.”

Before getting back to his seat, he bent his blue-black eyes and gave us a grin. It seemed that the twins had characteristically attractive faces. Not that he looked as beautiful as a girl, but it was Kim Hye Hill who was close to a beautiful young girl with a boyish face.

Then a boy who sat all the way in front of the row beside mine stood up from his seat.

What first came across my mind was that he looked like Yoo Chun Young. Though he was not as handsome as Chun Young. Still, his overall features and sharp eyes were decent enough for them to look familiar. His brown hair was neatly styled in a way for him to indicate that he’s a high school student.

He stood still with a quiet face but soon opened his mouth to introduce himself.

“I’m Shin Suh Hyun from Suk Bong Middle School. Nice to meet you.”

As I heard his name, I knitted my brows without intention. Shin Suh Hyun? It sounded familiar.
