“Um...”
[You guys also drank... that would be the only reason why you’re not asleep. Oh, I’m thirsty.]
Yoo Chun Young then heard a rustling noise in the background as if Donnie was getting out of bed. He waited for a while quietly but held the balustrade in surprise when a short scream suddenly ca over from the phone.
“What’s wrong?”
[I an...]
Her voice sounded bitter. It looked as though she saw sothing unbelievable.
[Holy shoot! When I opened the door, soone walked in all fours out of the blue.]
“Walk in all fours...?”
[Yeah. Oh, I thought I was watching the Exorcist. What’s up, anyway? If you’re calling 2 in the morning, is there an ergency?]
“I just... wondered if you’re in bed.”
[Uh-huh, I just got up. I should go back to sleep after drinking so water.]
Her voice revealed how drowsy she was. After the call, she would definitely go back to sleep imdiately. It made Yoo Chun Young a little nervous thinking, ‘before she hangs up, I should say sothing...’
Such an outlandishly silent darkness pressed him down. Inside his head, sothing seed to fly around chaotically, but at the next mont, he felt like blanking out. He was about to say sothing important; however, nothing ca out in a sentence at all. After a prolonged silence, Yoo Chun Young broke the ice.
“I have a question.”
[Uh-huh.]
Fortunately, Ham Donnie’s voice sounded cheerful. Yoo Chun Young spoke at a slow pace.
“If what soone said about keeps popping in my head...”
[Yeah.]
“Does it an that the person was right?”
[Hmm... well, it could happen when it was such an impressive remark to you. Oh, or maybe it was right on the mark, which beca morable. So, you may be right.]
“I see,” Yoo Chung Young replied shortly while pouting his lips.
Rather than an actual answer, he felt ok to just listen to her voice for quite a while. When Yoo Chun Young was about to hang up the phone in consideration of Donnie being drowsy, she asked back, unexpectedly.
[Who said what to you? It’d be also different depending on the person.]
“Who said what...?”
Yoo Chun Young fell into thought for a second then soon responded, “Yi Ruda.”
[Good night.]
Ham Donnie’s voice turned dark imdiately. ‘What’s wrong? Is she feeling so tired now?’ While Yoo Chun Young had those thoughts in mind, Ham Donnie hung up the phone. It happened in a flash that he didn’t have any chance to say goodbye.
He ca back to the room and dropped his gaze at the phone for quite a while. Still, he couldn’t find what Ham Donnie ant at all.
Article 13. They Say It’s a Confession Trip Than a Retreat? (Part 2)
The next day, I brought the kids, who walked in all fours out of their minds, down to the cafeteria and witnessed a rare sight. As if what Yoon Jung In said was true, no one inside here could barely open their eyes properly. Even a kid started to retch while getting his food, which made everyone around him step back out of astonishnt.
‘What a ss,’ I thought and found an empty table to sit down with my girls. Soone then ca closer and sat next to . Looking at the empty hand without a tray, I raised my head to see who it was.
The person who grimaced as if he was still having a hangover was no other than Yoon Jung In. ‘Whoa,’ as soon as he ca into my sight, I asked with a smile.
“Dude, I heard you weren’t a human last ti?”
“What? Who says that?”
As if he understood clearly while having a hard ti pulling himself together, he furrowed his face even more then answered back. I shrugged and pointed across the table with my chin.
Shin Suh Hyun, whom Yoon Jung In had a savage gaze at, showed no signs of fear on his face. He swallowed the food inside his mouth then said nonchalantly.
“How’s your conscience doing?”
“What? What about ? Why am I not human last night?”
“Geez, don’t you rember yelling and singing loudly on the boy’s floor and calling , noona?”
“...”
Yoon Jung In beca silent for a mont then turned his head to look at Kim Hye Woo, beside him.
“Did I?”
“Yeah.”
“For real?”
“There was sothing truly exceptional too. Do you want to hear that?”
Shin Suh Hyun intervened and continued his words. Lee Mina, sitting across, burst out laughing so hard that she couldn’t swallow her food. Kim Hye Hill was staring at Yoon Jung In in serene eyes.
Yoon Jung In rolled his eyeballs twice in perplexity.
He asked, “Wh...at... did I do...?”
“You lost your phone yesterday and asked people where it was. As you searched for it all over, soone found and gave it to you saying, ‘Here’s your phone.’ But do you know what you answered back?”
“What did I say?”
“This ain’t a phone. You kept saying that, so I asked you what it is if it’s not a phone.”
“So?”
“So, you said, ‘Magic Hole~’ with a bright smile and fell back. You were asleep then. Don’t you rember”
“...”
Magic Hole was the model na of Yoon Jung In’s flip phone. As I quietly dropped my gaze at his phone, he carefully put it in his pocket.
Yoon Jung In, who shoved his phone inside the pocket, suddenly laughed out loud.
“Guys, Bon appetite!” he shouted.
“...”
His voice was so loud that even the kids, who were filling their trays in tipsy eyes around him, looked at us. The overall situation reminded of sothing. I glanced around the cafeteria.
Since Yoo Chun Young called 2 in the morning, the other boys might have drunk together; however, I couldn’t see any of their fancy hair colors. While I chewed the foods inside my mouth, Yi Ruda ca to from the side.
“Hey, Donnie.”
“Good morning.”
Her face looked brighter and fresh in the morning. Her wet golden hair tangled on her forehead and her smiling eyes were shining pure and blue. Among the kids with sunken eyes, her refreshing face looked so pleasurable that I welcod her more warmly than usual.
As soon as Yi Ruda patted my hair with a grin and walked away with other boys, Yoon Jung In, right beside , leaned his body toward . He whispered like a tease.
“What a sweet couple from the morning. Any phone calls last night?”
“Nope.”
“Well, who knows if he surprises you with a love confession on the stage today?”
“Oh, co on. We’re nothing like that.”
“Maybe not you but he looks pretty obvious. Hey, are you saying like that seriously?”
Yoon Jung In’s question made shut my mouth in uncomfortableness. ‘He looks pretty obvious? Hell, yeah...’ The phone call with Yoo Chun Young last night ca across my head. At the sa ti, sothing like damp air and bright lamplight seed to entwine and rise in front of .
I thought about his voice that rang around my ears and scattered away. It sounded cold as usual yet prudent enough.
‘Yi Ruda.’
I took out a spoon of rice from the bowl then soaked it in the bean sprout soup in a grimace. Yi Ruda, next to , asked in surprise.
“What an appetite from early in the morning!”
“Yeah, I’m hungry.”
“Other kids don’t even feel good.”
I did too; however, I had to shove the rice inside to get away from this subdued feeling.
Things happening around them were, for , like a storybook that I already knew the ending even before opening it up. I, therefore, didn’t want to flip the pages. I didn’t feel curious. Regardless of what I felt, so damn thing wouldn’t let take my hands off of this storybook. I closed my eyes with a sigh. I felt nauseous.
As if it was a given sequence, I had an upset stomach. Doing so outdoor activities seed fine for to feel better but I was wrong.
I was completely wiped out, at last, around lunchti, so I just sat on the cafeteria table without having anything. Yi Ruda asked in surprise while walking pass by.
“Are you ok?”
“Um, no. I’m just not feeling good.”
“Can you be on stage?”
“I should or else, what can I do? I’m not the only one on stage.”
When I replied like that, Yi Ruda furrowed her forehead then tapped my shoulder to comfort .
So was at dinner, I couldn’t eat anything at all. This ti, I didn’t go downstairs to the cafeteria but leaned against the wall inside the empty room, which was turning dark alongside the sunset. There, I sat on the floor and texted a few ssages.

You’re not the main role on the stage? Then do it ASAP and take a break.
To: Eun Ji-goddamn-ho
Actually, I’m the lead.
Sent by: Eun Ji-goddamn-ho
What a joke;
Gosh, this sun of a beach! I tapped the keyboard in rage.
To: Eun Ji-goddamn-ho
For real, stay tuned!
Eun Jiho didn’t reply to for quite a while. Perhaps he would be moving to the auditorium with the instructor. With that thought in mind, I put my phone back to the pocket.
