“Um…”

[You guys also drank… that would be the only reason why you’re not asleep. Oh, I’m thirsty.]

Yoo Chun Young then heard a rustling noise in the background as if Donnie was getting out of bed. He waited for a while quietly but held the balustrade in surprise when a short scream suddenly came over from the phone.

“What’s wrong?”

[I mean…]

Her voice sounded bitter. It looked as though she saw something unbelievable.

[Holy shoot! When I opened the door, someone walked in all fours out of the blue.]

“Walk in all fours…?”

[Yeah. Oh, I thought I was watching the Exorcist. What’s up, anyway? If you’re calling me 2 in the morning, is there an emergency?]

“I just… wondered if you’re in bed.”

[Uh-huh, I just got up. I should go back to sleep after drinking some water.]

Her voice revealed how drowsy she was. After the call, she would definitely go back to sleep immediately. It made Yoo Chun Young a little nervous thinking, ‘before she hangs up, I should say something…’

Such an outlandishly silent darkness pressed him down. Inside his head, something seemed to fly around chaotically, but at the next moment, he felt like blanking out. He was about to say something important; however, nothing came out in a sentence at all. After a prolonged silence, Yoo Chun Young broke the ice.

“I have a question.”

[Uh-huh.]

Fortunately, Ham Donnie’s voice sounded cheerful. Yoo Chun Young spoke at a slow pace.

“If what someone said about me keeps popping in my head…”

[Yeah.]

“Does it mean that the person was right?”

[Hmm… well, it could happen when it was such an impressive remark to you. Oh, or maybe it was right on the mark, which became memorable. So, you may be right.]

“I see,” Yoo Chung Young replied shortly while pouting his lips.

Rather than an actual answer, he felt ok to just listen to her voice for quite a while. When Yoo Chun Young was about to hang up the phone in consideration of Donnie being drowsy, she asked back, unexpectedly.

[Who said what to you? It’d be also different depending on the person.]

“Who said what…?”

Yoo Chun Young fell into thought for a second then soon responded, “Yi Ruda.”

[Good night.]

Ham Donnie’s voice turned dark immediately. ‘What’s wrong? Is she feeling so tired now?’ While Yoo Chun Young had those thoughts in mind, Ham Donnie hung up the phone. It happened in a flash that he didn’t have any chance to say goodbye.

He came back to the room and dropped his gaze at the phone for quite a while. Still, he couldn’t find what Ham Donnie meant at all.

Article 13. They Say It’s a Confession Trip Than a Retreat? (Part 2)

The next day, I brought the kids, who walked in all fours out of their minds, down to the cafeteria and witnessed a rare sight. As if what Yoon Jung In said was true, no one inside here could barely open their eyes properly. Even a kid started to retch while getting his food, which made everyone around him step back out of astonishment.

‘What a mess,’ I thought and found an empty table to sit down with my girls. Someone then came closer and sat next to me. Looking at the empty hand without a tray, I raised my head to see who it was.

The person who grimaced as if he was still having a hangover was no other than Yoon Jung In. ‘Whoa,’ as soon as he came into my sight, I asked with a smile.

“Dude, I heard you weren’t a human last time?”

“What? Who says that?”

As if he understood clearly while having a hard time pulling himself together, he furrowed his face even more then answered back. I shrugged and pointed across the table with my chin.

Shin Suh Hyun, whom Yoon Jung In had a savage gaze at, showed no signs of fear on his face. He swallowed the food inside his mouth then said nonchalantly.

“How’s your conscience doing?”

“What? What about me? Why am I not human last night?”

“Geez, don’t you remember yelling and singing loudly on the boy’s floor and calling me, noona?”

“…”

Yoon Jung In became silent for a moment then turned his head to look at Kim Hye Woo, beside him.

“Did I?”

“Yeah.”

“For real?”

“There was something truly exceptional too. Do you want to hear that?”

Shin Suh Hyun intervened and continued his words. Lee Mina, sitting across, burst out laughing so hard that she couldn’t swallow her food. Kim Hye Hill was staring at Yoon Jung In in serene eyes.

Yoon Jung In rolled his eyeballs twice in perplexity.

He asked, “Wh…at… did I do…?”
