Chapter 297 (1/2)

.

‘Where in the world is there a group of high school kids who borrow the whole club?!’ I couldn’t say that out loud but just shouted to myself. That was when the look on their faces changed out of the blue.

Quickly turning my head aside, I found someone stepping into the room while opening the beaded curtain. As soon as the person came in, we had eye contact. The guy’s dark purple hair swayed through the long crystal beads; however, unlike Lucas, who looked like a foreigner at first glance, this person was definitely Korean.

He was a boy with a threatening physique and dark purple pony hair. Would he be about 190 cm tall? Since he had such a big muscular physique, I could feel a different type of drive from him when comparing him to Yoo Chun Young, who was as tall as him.

When he opened the beaded curtain and encountered me and Jooin, the boy slightly frowned. He then turned his head toward the One-card or whatever of Dae Woon High School and flung a question.

“Did you guys force the guests downstairs to come up here? I told you not to do this again.”

The air in the room soon turned dark. Meanwhile, the boy looked at us and whispered, “Sorry, you can go back.”

“Eh? Uh, thank you…”

Replying sulkily, I quickly snatched Jooin’s wrist. I had no idea who he was, but I was just thankful to him for providing us a chance to get out of this hilarious place.

That was when Jooin and I tried to leave the room. One of the One-card members of Dae Woon High School yelled with a suddenly reddened face that looked like a boiled octopus.

“Eek…! Who the hell asked you to take care of something like this?”

The purple haired-boy then raised his chin and responded nonchalantly, which made me cough noisily as if something went down the wrong pipe.

“Then, since the nationwide Number 1 has disappeared, who else is gonna handle this situation when I, the nationwide Number 2, am not in charge?”

“Khoff Khak Khak…!”

“Mama, are you okay?!”

Throwing away his girlish act and voice out of perplexity, Jooin asked me in his usual voice.

I lifted my head with teary eyes, thinking, ‘What? The nationwide Number 2? The nationwide Number 1 is gone?? I thought I just got out of the world of mega-rich families, and now what… am I now in the world of top rankers also known as the top high school fighters?’

What was more surprising was that the so-called nationwide TOP rankers were bewildered by my cough. ‘Maybe they are just normal high school students than I thought…’ I thought in that way while keep coughing helplessly. One of the boys then handed me a cup of water.

“Take a sip.”

“Um, no thanks… I’m fine…”

Regarding the atmosphere in this room, it wasn’t strange at all if the cup of water was actually a glass of alcohol.

When I refused him determinedly, the boy, who put down the cup of water in embarrassment, suddenly turned his head to the purple-haired boy and shouted, “I understand what you’re talking about, but it isn’t fair if you’re doing this only to us! Earlier, I saw the kids of Sun Jin High School also bringing up the girls from downstairs.”

The boy with purple hair replied with a grimace, “Sun Jin High School? I was there just until now, but I didn’t see any girls in that room.”

“I clearly saw them with other girls!”

An icy-cold voice then intervened between us.

“Are you talking about us?”

Just before turning my head in that direction, I saw a brown silhouette; however, as soon as that figure came into view, the table was flipped over with a loud noise. The kids of Dae Woon High School jumped up to the sofa to avoid the things falling from the table. Their faces then tinged pale as if they saw the angel of death.

In the sudden chaotic situation, I turned aside to look at Jooin and found him also becoming pale-faced just like the other boys. Quickly grabbing his arm, I asked, “Joo…sun, what’s wrong? Joosun?”

At that moment, someone’s desperate cry pierced through the air inside the room.

“Woo San, is it you again?!!”

I, who became stiff for quite a while at that shriek, soon turned my head.

Through the yet bluish light, a boy with elaborate facial features, well-defined jawline, and hair as brown as that of Jooin came into sight. Looking at his familiar face, I wished I could just pass out.

A boy was standing there who looked like Jooin in his close future when I assumed that Jooin would grow taller and become more athletic one day.
