Chapter 441
.
Honestly, the best way I could think of right now was Ban Hwee Hyul becoming more active and asking Yoon Jung In or the other kids for cooperation so that he could escape from being Hwang Siwoo’s target as soon as possible.
‘What if I were in Ban Hwee Hyul’s situation?’ I thought for a mont.
When it ca to my thing, I seldom spoke for myself while considering that soone more influential would be better to co forward instead of . In so ways, I would look craven though. Thus, from a half-coward’s and half-shrewd point of view, I would have indeed asked Yoon Jung In for help if I were in Ban Hwee Hyul’s situation.
A person, who was empathetic for his own good and had a strong sense of justice that he would speak for soone not even close to him... That was Yoon Jung In, perfect to ask for assistance.
In fact, if I were in Ban Hwee Hyul’s situation, I would never do such a thing like getting close to no one while being afraid of causing trouble to them or skipping als in the cafeteria. That’s because my loneliness and hunger mattered to than anything else.
Regarding those things, I couldn’t leave him alone even more although I wasn’t sure how far I could be responsible for him.
Thinking to that extent, I raised my eyes again. Thankfully, these kids didn’t look obnoxious at all. Honestly, no matter how upright a person was, it would be very difficult to care less about public opinion.
Ban Hwee Hyul, who was getting all our attention, just shook his head in silence. It was his response to Yoon Jung In’s question about in need of help.
However, Yoon Jung In quickly tossed a question without a sign of unpleasant feelings.
“Really? But you’re still okay to have lunch with us, right?”
“Huh?” asked Ban Hwee Hyul.
“Seven people are quite a crowd, so I think we should split into smaller groups though.”
“We’ll go then,” said the Kim twins, raising their hands high up in the air.
Checking those two, Yoon Jung In switched his gaze to Ban Hwee Hyul and asked for consent with his eyes. Hesitating for a second, Ban Hwee Hyul nodded shortly; the Kim twins did a loud high-five. They always showed off such a perfect partnership.
“At last, farewell to the days having an upset stomach after Yoon Jung In’s all kinds of bullshits!”
“Adios, nurse’s office. Goodbye, Pepto Bismol.”
Furrowing his brows, Yoon Jung In shouted, “Dudes! Are you kidding ?!”
Even watching that sight, I wasn’t able to easily laugh. Not only Kim Hye Woo but also Kim Hye Hill, who usually stayed calm, seed to be overreacting sohow.
Probably they were pretending to be more excited to lessen my burden. Having that thought in mind, I felt warmth spreading like a campfire in my heart.
At that mont, Shin Suh Hyun, who had been quietly watching us with his arms crossed, suddenly raised his hand. He uttered, “I’d also like to g...”
“Oh, well, where were you trying to go?”
Yoon Jung In intervened in his words then pulled Shin Suh Hyun’s neck into his arms. Running a mile from Yoon Jung In, Shin Suh Hyun took away his arms around him. He then uttered, “I’d also like to say goodbye to the days of having an upset stomach. Do you know that I’m a student-athlete? My body is my asset.”
“I can give you all I have, but you can’t? Man, that makes so upset,” whined Yoon Jung In.
“Hey, you owe a thousand won in the snack bar yesterday because you’re broke. Don’t you rember that?”
Shin Suh Hyun, who wasn’t able to get out of Yoon Jung In’s arms for a while, uttered while gnashing his teeth. I couldn’t help but laugh, eventually.
Returning the empty food tray, the Kim twins introduced themselves to Ban Hwee Hyul between the short monts.
“Hi, I’m Kim Hye Woo; this is Kim Hye Hill. We are twins, but I’m her elder brother; she’s my little sister.”
“Let thank you first. You’ve saved us from Yoon Jung In and stress indigestion.”
“Very true. You are our hero.”
Watching the three kids sharing so conversation that could take place between a soldier, who ca to defeat the rascal, and a kidnapped princess, or maybe a prince, I felt slightly perturbed for a mont.
Just before, I thought that they were kind of overreacting to lower my burden, but according to their behaviors right now, maybe their reactions were from the bottom of their hearts...
That was when I hunched my shoulders while finding soone approaching .
‘Yikes, it’s Hwang Siwoo!’ I shouted to myself. Having that fierce look in his eyes just like before, he was coming straight toward us with quick steps. I glanced around shortly, but regarding the direction where Hwang Siwoo was heading toward, the destination was us no matter what.
‘Hold on, is he picking a fight this fast even in a public place? I thought that there would, at least, be so ti to prepare my heart!’ With that thought, I closed my eyes tightly.
Then at the mont, Hwang Siwoo’s moving route suddenly changed like a lie. He quickly switched his direction as if he was a racing car turning around the corner.
Watching him receding away from us with a weird posture and loud footsteps, I stealthily looked behind . Kwon Eun Hyung and Yi Ruda were standing side by side and, for so reason, staring in this direction with a horrifying look like a gatekeeper of hell.
When our eyes t, they changed their facial expressions like magic. Showing a swiveling smile, they waved at .
‘Uh, but why are you holding your forks upside down?’ I thought then murmured to myself, “... Would it be okay?”
I felt a little sorry to have them as my powerful supporters against their will, but it seed okay to feel relieved for a while anyway.
When I looked back again, the Kim twins were laughing while surrounding Ban Hwee Hyul. After a short relief, I soon touched my forehead upon their conversations.
“What did you call us just now?”
“Kim Hye Hoo... Kim High Heel...?”
“Nice to et you, Kim High Heel.”
“Get lost, oppa!”
Hey, Ban Hwee Hyul... I, who couldn’t watch the situation anymore, quickly pulled the Kim twins away from Ban Hwee Hyul. However, they kept asking him their nas again and was feeling excited at their newly called nas. Geez, that’s too much...
The mont I was about to barely step into the classroom, Ban Hwee Hyul grabbed for the last ti.
“Hold on, Ham Donnie,” he said.
“Huh?”
“What you said to earlier, asking for forgiveness to the people I’ve done wrong to...”
“Uh, yeah,” I nodded, but at the sa ti, realized how much I was way out of line.
Actually, it was very difficult to apologize to soone at the right ti even when we grew old. If it wasn’t that hard, misunderstandings or apologies not made at the right ti wouldn’t beco the main causes of conflicts between grown-up characters in TV dramas.
How could I dare to give advice that I couldn’t even feel confident of? Shaking my head in sha, I opened my mouth.
“Ah, to be honest, I guess I was overstepping so boundaries... I’m sorr...”
“No need to apologize. Anyway...”
Geez, this boy was, again, using that historical drama tone of speaking. Having that thought in mind, I tossed a question.
“Anyway...?”
“Would you teach how to apologize?” asked Ban Hwee Hyul with the most serious look on his face that I had ever seen so far.
‘How to apologize?’ I tilted my head and threw a question. “Hey, haven’t you ever apologized to soone? Not like sothing as, ‘Sorry,’ but a sincerer apology...”
He frankly shook his head which surprised . I moaned, ‘Hey, are you the son of the pri minister?’
Hesitating for a second, he shortly added, “Just once, only to soone who can’t hear.”
“Ah, no, don’t try to create a mood for so sad storyti,” I quickly replied with a flinch.
Ban Hwee Hyul looked down at in wonder. However, I avoided his gaze with my mouth closed.
Honestly, I knew that I was doing the sa thing right now as I’d done to Yi Ruda. I wasn’t being cold or cruel enough to utterly ignore him, but at the sa ti, I was refusing to know each other deeply and getting involved in a close relationship...
However, I wanted Ban Hwee Hyul to make a few true, trustful friends soday, not soone like , who ca forward out of so stupid sense of obligation against his will.
