Chapter 316 (1/2)
.
‘What?’ I thought while counterattacking his gaze, “If you guys had that in mind, you should have told us in advance!’
The reason why I planned to take action only with Yeo Ryung was that I thought those two boys would never agree upon our plan, but surprisingly, they were already acting independently! It would have been better if we united our efforts.
Anyway, then Yoo Chun Young and Eun Jiho might have visited Club Papillon for the same reason as we did. Perhaps the employee of REED partied hard since his identity had been spread all over the town.
Aside from that, I was very relieved that unlike the Four Heavenly Kings in other web novels, those two boys went to the club for something else. Heaving a sigh of relief, I observed the situation again.
As if he finally understood the excuse we made, Eun Hyung looked a little calm down, but he still furrowed one side of his brows. Putting both hands on the table, Eun Hyung asked with a tender voice.
“Then, why didn’t you let me know? You could have asked me to go together.”
“That’s because… it seemed too much to ask you to do such a thing.”
When Eun Jiho replied hesitantly, Eun Hyung perked the corners of his lips upwards to hint a soft smile. Everyone around this table all knew that the look on Eun Hyung’s face right now indicated that he got more upset instead of releasing his anger.
Eun Hyung asked, “Why? You know that I’m not just Mr. Nice.”
Dusting off his hair, Eun Jiho replied, “Geez, I don’t know, but you still have that image of a lighthouse that leads to a good life. I wish you can remain as a light and salt to us… you know?”
Listening to Eun Jiho’s response from across the table, I quietly nodded my head. When I looked beside me, Yeo Ryung and Jooin also seemed to share a similar thought.
That was true. I knew that it was sort of a fantasy, but I also expected Eun Hyung to play the role of a lighthouse-type of person among us. Someone who could be our witness with generosity like a god.
That was why the boys could not involve Eun Hyung into some bad event. Thus, what Eun Jiho just said was very understandable.
At that moment, Eun Hyung blurted out something with a gentle smile, which petrified us immediately.
“Really? Then should I teach you with all my heart that I’m worse than I look?”
What Eun Hyung just said sounded like the gate of hell swing open not only for Eun Jiho but also for all of us. Stepping back from his seat, Eun Jiho replied in a hurry, “Um, my bad. Dude, it’s my fault, so would you please stop that…?”
“I think I’ve behaved as honest as possible, but you still don’t know my true color… so I should show you who I am.”
“No… if you show me more, I think I’m gonna die!”
That was when Eun Jiho’s voice sounded increasingly pathetic. As we heard someone calling us, we all turned our heads toward that direction.
“Hello, sir!”
With a shout, the person bowed deeply at the waist.
I looked at the sight with my eyes wide open. The person’s school uniform looked familiar, which would belong to a high school in our neighborhood. Was it probably Sun Jin High School? Even if I was right, the school was quite far away from ours. Who on earth was he acquainted with among us? Wondering about the question, I lifted my head and directed my eyes toward where the person was looking at.
In that direction, there was Eun Hyung smiling awkwardly. When the person raised his head, Eun Hyung waved his head with a clumsy grin.
“Um, hi… were you Dong Woon?”
The boy named Dong Woon snorted as if he felt very delighted.
“You remembered me, sir! I’m very honored!”
“Yeah… haha…”
“Did the story about your friends that I told you before help you?!”
Listening to his words, Eun Hyung read our countenances with an awkward smile.
‘Hold on, a story about your friends?’ Repeating that part, I narrowed my eyes and took a closer look at Dong Woon’s face.
Once I observed him carefully, I realized that I saw his face in the club. I didn’t have that good memory, but I couldn’t help but remember most of the faces I had seen that night since it was such an unbelievable situation.
