Chapter 114: Chapter 114
.
Before going inside the house, I asked Ban Yeo Ryung while watching her entering the passcode on her door lock.
âYeo Ryung, what dance are you performing?â
âOh, itâs a secret!â
ââŠâ
While I became dumbfounded, Ban Yeo Ryung smiled brightly with a wink then ran into her house.
âWhat theâŠâ I flickered my eyes and thought, âIâll never tell her that Iâm on the stage for the play. Letâs see whoâs gonna get more surprised.â
The next day during the class conference, I could barely hide the look on my face out of perplexity. I came to realize, at last, how unified our class was.
âHey, look. When Ruda says to you, âHey, be my wifey,â thenâŠâ
âOh, no. Thatâs too cheesy.â
âAnd the two hug each other tightâŠâ
âOh, come on! Whatâs wrong with the script? Why is it all about love confessions and hugs?!â
Regardless of my roars, they were deeply into writing a script about Yi Ruda and I falling in love.
I picked up the ripped scripts scattered around the floor, crushed them together, and threw it to their backs a few times but there were no reactions at all. They were busy wondering and discussing âhow to put more cheesy lines in the script.â
I stopped murmuring then walked toward Yi Ruda, who sat in the corner of the classroom looking relaxed. Her face turned immediately bright as she found me getting closer.
I snatched her arm and said, âHey, they are putting all kinds of weird lines.â
âLike what?â
She seemed curious as I spat the words, weird lines. I continued with a grim face.
âYou know, itâs like, âBe my wifey. Youâre mine. Iâll be there for youâŠâ They are writing stuff like these.â
âAre you sure the script is full of those lines?â
âWhat if we both throw up while acting?â
I trembled my body while thinking about Yi Ruda and I looking at each other but soon puking on the stage.
As if my cheeks turned pale, Yi Ruda lifted her hand to pat my face. She then grinned. A few kids beside us blew whistles and left. âGosh, again!â While I scowled at their backs, Yi Ruda spoke in front of me.
âI like it though.â
ââŠâ
âAre you sure you like us looking at each other and throw up? Why??â
While I had a confused gaze at her, she raised her hand to sweep her blond hair back. Yi Ruda, pulling her hair back while dropping her blue eyes on the floor, looked genderless and mysteriously attractive at the same time.
She then said, âTheyâre writing such a brilliant script, so let me perform the best acting.â
As her smile got deeper, I became anxious somehow. In front of the classroom, they were still talking noisily about wifey, my heart⊠things like that.

It was such a sunny day like summertime. Kids lined up under the blue sky all looked suffocated. Looking at the principalâs speech in front of them, they thought with dried eyes, âPlease⊠please⊠you said from earlier this is the last word!â
âEveryone, this is the last word I would like to put.â
âYou already said that ten times!â Kids burst out their waves of anger while stomping silently. Teachers, who gave warnings a few times at first, were now unable to bear the sight of the kidsâ resentful faces. All they could do was to avoid their looks.
âPrincipal, please stop!â Even the teachers felt intolerable that they murmured to themselves. In the middle of the never-ending, boring speech, only one person stood straight.
Kwon Eun Hyung, the president of Class 1-1, remained silent while standing upright in front of the class. Someone then tapped his shoulder. As Kwon Eun Hyung looked back, Eun Jihoâs smiling face was right in front of him.
âWhy?â
When he mouthed to ask, Eun Jiho pointed far right with his chin. Following Eun Jiho, Kwon Eun Hyung turned his head to the pointed direction. He then burst into small laughter.
Inside the group of Class 1-8 kids, Ham Donnie was dozing off while standing up. Having her eyes closed in exhaustion, she hung her head down deeply, which looked quite dangerous.
âShe stayed up late texting.â
Eun Jiho said then handed out his phone to Kwon Eun Hyung. The text was received at 4:20 in the morning. âWhat did she do until this time?â Having this in mind, Kwon Eun Hyung fetched a deep sigh.
Sent by: Ham Donnie
Our class is gonna win tomorrowâs talent show~
^^! ^^!! ^^!!!!!
Reading the message, Kwon Eun Hyung quietly burst out laughing then asked in a low voice.
âWhat did you text back?â
âLike this,â Eun Jiho said briefly and pressed another button again.
To: Ham Donnie
Lol Lol Lol!!!!!
This time, Kwon Eun Hyung couldnât help himself laughing a little loudly.
While he thought about what Donnie would have been as she received this message, Eun Jiho, who kept giggling at Donnie, suddenly had a fierce look in his eyes. Looking at the strange tension in his jet-black eyes, Kwon Eun Hyung turned to see the direction in wonder. He then soon had the same face as Eun Jihoâs.
âWhy doesnât he just wake her upâŠâ
Listening to Eun Jihoâs low mutter, Kwon Eun Hyung nodded in silence.
In a distance, someone from Class 1-8 was pulling Ham Donnie, who just fell into sleep, inside his arms. Yi Ruda put his chin on top of Ham Donnieâs head and had his arms tightly around her neck. Hugging her like that from behind, Yi Ruda was whispering something in warmhearted eyes.
Kwon Eun Hyungâs eyes grew bigger in discomposure. âHow can she lose her mind like that when a guy is hugging her from behind? Doesnât she have any wariness against him?â Eun Jiho, standing in the back, tapped the buttons roughly.
Ham Donnie suddenly furrowed her eyes then got out of Yi Rudaâs arms. Without any words, Yi Ruda let Ham Donnie out of him but knitted his nose as if he felt discontented. He then stared at the back of Ham Donnieâs head.
Ham Donnie took her phone out of the pocket and turned her head to look at this side. When Eun Jiho waved his hand in a refreshed face, Kwon Eun Hyung saw her face turning stiff.
âWhat did you send her?â He asked.
Eun Jiho then lifted his phone to show it to Eun Hyung.
To: Ham Donnie
Wake up
To: Ham Donnie
I said wake up
To: Ham Donnie
WAKE UP
What Eun Jiho sent to her continuously was a bunch of messages that only had each letter of âwake up.â Since the phone rang repeatedly within a second, Ham Donnie could not help herself waking up.
Eun Jihoâs phone screen then flickered with a new message. He opened his flip phone again.
Sent by: Ham Donnie
Why?!
To: Ham Donnie
Is the schoolyard your bed? Huh?
Eun Jiho then typed, âSleep inside the bus,â but he quickly moved his fingers to delete it. Kwon Eun Hyung, beside him, asked in wonder.
âWhy did you delete it?â
âWouldnât Yi Ruda sit next to Ham Donnie inside the bus?â
âOh.â
Both became silent for a while. As if something came across his mind, Eun Jiho, who was gazing at Ham Donnie, revealed gradual darkness in his eyes.
Kwon Eun Hyung stared at Eun Jiho. Feeling Eun Hyungâs gaze, Eun Jiho soon raised his head. He then said with his eyes still submerged in darkness.
âWhy?â
âI mean, youâŠâ
Kwon Eun Hyung paused then shut his mouth. He rarely left his words unfinished but right now he didnât know what to say.
They were friends with Ham Donnie for three years, which meant they were physically intimate at some point. Kwon Eun Hyung or Yoo Chun Young often pat Ham Donnieâs head. Woo Jooin didnât hesitate to hug her waist or neck. Eun Jiho put his arm around her shoulders too.
Now that they were in different classes, Ham Donnie could have a friend being physically intimate like them. Eun Jihoâs reaction was, however, suspicious that heâŠ
As if he read Kwon Eun Hyungâs mind, Eun Jiho, who was staring at Eun Hyungâs eyes, raised his silver brows. He then lifted the corners of his lip askew. His jet-black eyes still swayed in darkness. Before Kwon Eun Hyung tried to continue his words, Eun Jiho broke the ice.
âI can hardly let her go to you guys whoâve seen her for three years. But how can I give Donnie to a bastard who I met in my life for the first time? I canât accept that.â
âYou meanâŠâ
Kwon Eun Hyung couldnât keep up his words. Instead, he closed his mouth again. While Eun Jiho stared at him, Kwon Eun Hyung turned himself back to look front.
