Chapter 562: Chapter 562
.
Shortly after, Yoon Jung In ca back and made a loud announcent, which astonished us all.
“Hey, we’re going on a retreat!”
“Oh, retreat? Didn’t we go last year? Are we having another one?”
“That’s too much.”
“Perhaps there’s a cozy relationship between the school and retreat. Don’t you think we need so investigation here?”
“A cozy relationship? Haha, you’re so funny!”
After the kids complained about the upcoming event, Yoon Jung In re-announced again, scratching the back of his head, “My bad, it’s a school trip.”
“Oh!”
Kids shrieked in relief, ‘Yoon Jung In, are you kidding ?’ or ‘You’re indeed who you are, Yoon Jung In.’ However, they soon walked toward the computer in a stampede with a solemn expression on their faces, then tossed coins into the tal case.
So, what was the school trip? It was a one-and-only event for high school students. Kids in the sa school had a nice two or three-day getaway in the suburbs, entertaining themselves with many things to see, eat, drink, and play.
Even the adults indulged in reminiscence like, ‘Oh yeah, things were just better in the good old days’ or ‘We had those monts back then,’ when they heard the word ‘school trip.’
Although both the school trip and retreat forced us to follow their schedules, there was a huge difference between the two. Teachers didn’t wake us up at six in the morning during the school trip, nor did we get any boot camp training. Even the instructors there didn’t patrol at night with wide-open eyes!
So, that was a brief explanation about the school trip. Now, we could make a rough guess about what role it was playing in many different romance comics or web novels.
They say a web novel without an episode of a school trip doesn’t belong to this genre of work. That’s, of course, spoken by ; I just made it up, sorry.
“Ahem.” Around that mont, I stopped thinking and cleared my throat. Shaking my head sideways, I murmured, ‘Dang, screw it!’
It’s been about two years. I was now sick and tired of overreacting, ‘Law of the web novel, article sothing!’ whenever sothing happened. If I were a reader of this novel, these reactions would have felt already so la.
Above all, I wasn’t the Ham Donnie anymore, who feared and trembled every day at the uncertainty of things occurring around ! Being ard with such things––my solid friendship with Ban Yeo Ryung, my boyfriend’s support, and my parent’s gift, the new phone––I was the new Ham Donnie, version 2.0 or 3.0.
That was when Yoon Jung In shouted, “They say the destination is Jeju-do!”
As if I had waited for this mont, I scread, “Am I getting trapped in a cave after taking a night walk?!”
“What?” asked Yoon Jung In, staring at in wonder.
I quickly shook my head, then knuckled on the head. Idiot, didn’t I just say I’m done with overreacting to every new event?
Returning to my habit less than a few minutes, I felt sohow relieved, then fell into thought, looking at Yoon Jung In.
Kim Hye Hill murmured from beside , “Are you okay...?”
“Yeah, yeah, they say uncertainty is our biggest enemy. I’ll choose from start to end what’ll happen in our school trip.”
She replied, “But that depends on the school’s decision, not yours...”
Kim Hye Hill murmured concernedly that perhaps I wasn’t feeling well. However, I revealed a satisfied smile, thinking that my years of experience would be used in these kinds of things.
So, let’s get back to the school trip story.
Three things can happen in school trips: things that take place during our stay in the hotel; sothing during the talent show; other random incidents.
First of all, things that could occur in the hotel included having a pillow fight, drawing on soone’s face, or playing truth or dare. We often did the first two in elentary school and middle school, so those didn’t an to .
‘Playing truth and dare is the thing here!’ I clenched my fist. Our class didn’t do this during the retreat, which lingered in my mind so much.
Cupping my face with my hands, I murmured, “At least, soone’s gonna confess their love in truth and dare.”
Sitting quietly across my seat, Kim Hye Woo replied to my monolog, “But you have a boyfriend.”
Of all occasions, Lee Mina, who had a loud voice, heard his remark. Looking startled, she asked , “Oh my god! Donnie, were you trying to cheat on him?!”
“Ugh, what are you talking about, Lee Mina!” I flinched but soon bit my lips, taking a coin out of my pocket and tossing it in the tal case with a clink.
Expressing my feelings of regret, I asked myself, ‘Is this necessary? Although it’s who proposed this ga, now it’s too...’
Anyway, I returned to my seat and drew a big X on truth and dare in my list. Playing this ga without any love confessions had no fun. Most of the people around such as Kim Hye Hill and Lee Mina all had boyfriends to think of it.
With my head in my hands, I chewed the end of my pen. It was ti to move on to the second one, things that could happen during a talent show.
“Is it then confessing their love in public?” I uttered to myself.
“What?! Ham Donnie, are you gonna publicly confess your crush at the talent show...?”
I imdiately covered Kim Hye Woo’s mouth with my hand, who was enunciating each word so loudly like a human gaphone. Geez, now I’d co to think of it, he was doing this on purpose!
I was lost in thoughts again. It would be, of course, not who would get confessed in public, but if there was soone who could...
“... Ban Yeo Ryung, cheer up,” I uttered, then removed the word ‘talent show’ from my list.
Reaching the last situation––a random incident––I wrote down the possibility of ‘calling out soone to confess their love,’ then crossed it out again. Smiling aimlessly, I shouted, “Alright, nothing would happen in this school trip. No fun at all!”
Writing sothing on the blackboard, Yoon Jung In murmured in perplexity, “Hey, Ham Donnie, do you think that’s appropriate to say during our school trip discussion?”
“Oh, sorry, that was just my opinion. No offense.”
“I an, above all, we aren’t going to lose that easily this ti!” addressed Yoon Jung In, pounding the lectern.
I threw an apathetic glance at him. Did he just say losing easily? That didn’t slip out of my mouth though. Anyway, by whom were we getting defeated? Were we fighting with soone?
His following words then made realize what he’d been thinking.
“That’s because not only do we have Yi Ruda in our class, but now we have Ban Hwee Hyul as well!”
“Dude, Ruda’s na today is Rumi.”
“...”
Looking frustrated, Ruda quietly covered his face behind his hands.
anwhile, Yoon Jung In tossed a coin to the tal case and continued, “Anyway, we now have two people of great talents in our class. So, using this can turn the ga around in this year’s talent show. That’s what I’ve been thinking.”
His remark put back into a whirlpool of mixed feelings.
‘Yoon Jung In, the two boys, whom you’re talking about as if you’ve successfully created a rare Pokémon collection, are actually the main characters of a web novel... Do you have any idea of it?’
Amid the situation, other kids seed like they had found so enlightennt.
“Oh, that makes sense.”
“Right, don’t you think Ban Hwee Hyul can do so cool dance moves?”
As the kids gradually showed positive reactions, the air began to get heated. With a look of embarrassnt, Ban Hwee Hyul touched his new glass fras.
After the doctor advised that he would likely have impaired vision, Ban Hwee Hyul changed his glasses to a non-prescription one. He was now flaunting his handso appearance, but at the sa ti, we had to, of course, accept him being a ticking ti bomb.
The mont when everyone chanted ‘We’re the winner! Give us the prize!’ in excitent, Shin Suh Hyun threw a wet blanket.
“Last year’s talent show wasn’t about the actors. The problem was the script.”
“...”
“You all need to think twice if you don’t want to end up cleaning other places as a punishnt.”
In the end, those who’re from Class 1-8 last year ca up with the mory of cleaning the shower room the next day morning, which was the result of our class ranking the lowest at the talent show. Our face stiffened, feeling dreadful.
