Chapter 350 (1/2)

.

Averting his eyes from me, who was wondering why he was acting that way, Ruda murmured in a low voice, “Come on, let’s go. We’re gonna miss the kids.”

“Uh… yeah.”

Since this town was a very familiar area for the students of our school, there wouldn’t be any problem if we missed them; besides, I even brought my phone.

I stared at Ruda, who was bending his steps in a fluster, then another thought entered my head. ‘Oh, is he being considerate since he’s aware that Yeo Dan oppa and I are having an official relationship?’ Wondering about his unusual behavior in that way, I quickly walked after him.

“Wait for me.”

We were now on our way to buy the supplies for Sports Day while using the Saturday class meeting time. The highlight of Sports Day would come from the results of the games; however, we couldn’t miss the fancy parade of classes during the opening ceremony, cheerleading performance of each class during lunch break, and the audience cheering, so that was why we came outside to look at some cheer supplies and costumes.

‘I think we just went through Sports Day quite roughly in middle school, but wow… the kids in this high school are taking this event seriously than I thought.’ With that thought in mind, I slightly emitted a whoop.

After hitting the costume supply store, we were holding a lot of bags in our hands. Now we had to cross the street, stop by at E-mart, and return to school.

In front of E-mart, we had a short discussion. The other two kids, who came out together with me and Ruda, suggested, “Bringing these bags all around the place seems too much since we have to explain what these are at the cashier. So, why don’t just one person stand outside and take a break while taking charge of these bags?”

“Okay, cool. Rock, paper, scissors.”

Without thinking, my hand went out first. Three people used papers while I was gesturing scissors. Tapping my shoulders, the two kids walked past me first.

“Take some rest in the shade. We’ll call you on our way out.” I nodded my head as they dropped the remark while shaking their phones. Ruda, who was the last to turn around, asked me, “Would you be okay to stay here alone?”

I shrugged my shoulders with a grin, “Of course. This place isn’t dangerous. It’s in the middle of Seoul.”

Ruda replied, narrowing his eyes, “You find dangerous things in the midst of it.”

“Eek.”

I tried to deny what he just said, but since I got kidnapped from a hotel in the heart of Seoul, and Ruda rescued me from that incident, I had nothing to say at all. Once I closed my mouth with a slight stagger, Ruda flaunted a grin and walked past me while waving his hand.

Being left alone, I began to pile up the bags on the bench. When those kinds of stuff took half of the seats, I shoved myself into the small empty space and heaved a long sigh. Looking up at the clear blue autumn sky, I murmured depressingly, “Where should I find these two friends…?”

I actually had other friends other than the Four Heavenly Kings, but the problem was that most of them didn’t know Yeo Dan oppa. I wanted to tell my secret, at least, to those who were aware of Yeo Dan oppa and my usual relationship.

While I was lost in thought, the cars ran busily in front of me. The road was crowded with vehicles from early in the morning maybe because it was the weekend. Amid the busy traffic, a car suddenly came glidingly toward the side of the road. I wasn’t paying attention to that direction while being absorbed in thought, but when the car made a honking noise, I raised my head eventually.

As the window went down, a face came into view, which made my jaw drop.

“Eh?”

The person had a neatly tied black ponytail and pale face like a plaster figure. Under her black sunglasses, which was covering most of her face, her expressionlessly closed lips came into my sight. Jerking the car door open, the lady walked confidently toward my side.

Once she halted her steps right in front of me, she, surprisingly, showed a smile, which looked incomparably affable than before.

“Hi, I didn’t expect to see you here.”

That was when I pulled myself together and quickly got up from the seat while adjusting myself from sitting loosely on the bench. Lowering my head, I greeted her politely, “Ah, hi, nice to see you again.”

One of the most awkward moments on the weekend that I could think of just took place, which was coming across my friend’s parents.

Lifting my head again, I disheveled the back of my hair in embarrassment. Yi Jenny pulled the edge of her sunglasses upward and asked me, “Don’t you have class today? Ruda also went to school early in the morning.”
