Chapter 289 (1/2)

.

Like a shot-putter, I turned myself and threw the trash bag to the dump as vigorously as I could. We then washed our hands and headed back to the school building while shaking off the water.

That was when I felt the stinging in my nape.

I turned around hesitantly. Kim Hye Hill, who was standing beside me, asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Uh, nothing… never mind.”

The moment I replied that way and tried to turn my head toward Kim Hye Hill, I met a pair of sky-blue eyes directing on this side from the empty hallway in a distance.

This time, Kim Hye Woo asked the same question.

“What’s up, again?”

“There…”

I pointed my finger at the detached building that had a glass-fronted hallway. The Kim twins switched their gaze in the same direction where I was staring at.

In the warm autumn light, the detached glass building emitted a cold atmosphere as if it was glasswork. Inside that building, a teenage boy was standing in the hallway.

He looked quite young and naïve for a teenager. It seemed like he was a boy who existed alone as if he shouldn’t be bound by any social custom or class. Maybe he wouldn’t be a human being at all.

His sky-blue hair was so smooth that it didn’t look hair-dyed and was a little longer that it wrapped around his white face and fell under his ears. He looked like a foreigner but had mono-lid eyes and a small straight nose. Like a wax figure, his spiritless face looked too pale and transparent that even the sunlight seemed to penetrate his face.

With that appearance, he was just standing there looking at me. We weren’t facing each other in a close distance, but I could feel his piercing glance.

His face stole my attention for a while that I could barely gather back my senses when Kim Hye Woo said something to me.

“Looking at him in this way, he does look like a ghost. Now I get why that rumor is spreading out.”

“Uh-huh.”

“But if he isn’t a student in our school, isn’t he an intruder?”

With that said, Kim Hye Woo tried to head toward the security office. Kim Hye Hill then stopped him.

“Oppa, you’ll get cursed.”

“He isn’t a ghost, so why will I get cursed?”

“You don’t need to turn him in.”

Listening to the twins beginning to quarrel, as usual, I diverted my eyes back onto the hallway. He was still wearing our school uniform just like when I saw him at the main entrance a few days ago.

That was why I thought he would be someone who could blow a fresh breeze into the school, but why was he not going through the transfer procedure yet? Besides, if he wasn’t planning to transfer to our school, why was he behaving like that while wearing our school uniform?

Rambling those thoughts in mind, I lowered my head upon something suddenly vibrating in my pocket.

“Eh?”

I thought the vibration was, of course, coming from my phone; however, when looking around the phone without any lights on, I suddenly reached a different thought.

Watching me taking out a different phone from my pocket, Kim Hye Woo flung a question.

“Are you still carrying that phone?”

“Yeah, I can’t help since I don’t know when this will ring.”

Replying to Kim Hye Woo, I opened the flip phone.
