Chapter 215

Chapter 215

What? Why are you two the only ones here? Did No Eunha not come?

The captain said hes tired and went to sleep.

After dinner and finishing their baths, Eunhyuk and Parang, dressed casually, found their way to the first-floor multipurpose room in the girls dormitory.

Though they received suspicious glances from the security room due to the late hour, fortunately, Minji was there to welcome them, avoiding any further suspicion.

Why is No Eunha acting like this?

Minji sighed, clicking her tongue, and led the two to a table she had reserved in advance.

Sena and Hayang were already seated at a round table for about six people, all the girls dressed casually.

Welcome.

Wheres Eunha? Isnt he coming?

The same question.

Eunhyuk shrugged without a word, and Parang sat down with an uncomfortable expression.

Sena and Hayang could sense Eunhas condition just by that.

Is he still like that? Whats the matter? Not saying anything and feeling low?

Yeah, thats right. No Eunha, that kid, told us not to do this and that until the entrance ceremony Whats going on with him now?

Parang grumbled in agreement with Senas lament.

It had been two days since the academys entrance ceremony.

For this week, the first-year academy students were learning general education subjects not much different from middle school, and starting next week, they were scheduled to begin academy-specific subjects.

Surely, a registration frenzy would erupt among academy students next Monday.

Therefore, they needed to roughly decide which subjects to prioritize, even though they were given priority points for their excellent grades upon entry.

Dont just use your points recklessly. Even though the points received this year wont carry over to the next, theyll be helpful in various aspects of academy life.

Eunha had said that before the entrance ceremony.

He suggested prioritizing the essential subjects with the minimum necessary points and using the rest elsewhere, such as reserving training grounds, borrowing weapons, using workshops, and more.

So, the kids had planned to work on their schedules together.

Whats going on? He didnt say anything to us

Hayang murmured with a worried tone.

Ironically, even though Eunha had suggested making schedules together, he hadnt shown up.

Since the entrance ceremony, something seemed off.

As if his mind was floating away.

As if he wasnt here.

That was the feeling.

Lately, trying to talk to him felt like reaching for an unreachable cliff.

Other kids felt the same way.

Even if Eunha said he was okay, they knew he wasnt.

But since he didnt speak, all they could do was silently observe.

Did you see it too? During the inauguration preparation.

Yeah, no way I wouldnt have seen it. I even forgot what they were saying and got a serious scolding from the instructor

They couldnt focus on making their schedules.

Minji, who had been continuously clicking her pens button, brought up what had happened this morning.

And then, Jin Parang, leaning against the chairs backrest, replied with an annoyed tone.

There was an inauguration ceremony this morning.

Eunha had simply stood quietly at the ceremony that declared his determination to become a proper player.

Although he was supposed to recite the oath as the top-ranked student upon entry.

Eventually, he had to face the instructors wrath.

How much the other students laughed at him for entering at the bottom rank.

Just thinking about it got Parang fired up.

That kids really out of his mind.

Enough, Parang. Lets stop talking about No Eunha. Hell come to his senses on his own. Lets focus on what we need to do.

Could that really be it?

Hayang, you know too. The most useless thing in this world is worrying about him. Enough, lets schedule our classes.

Minji couldnt hide her irritation while saying so.

She felt frustrated because she didnt know what to do since Eunha wasnt speaking up.

Thats how their conversation fizzled out.

While the kids discussed and planned their schedules together, their minds were elsewhere.

This class was great, as Euna unnie said.

Martial Arts I? Does anyone know about it?

I heard Chang-jins brother said it was super boring. The instructor is strict, making it hard to get good grades.

Oh, I know about this one. Mythology and Folklore. Yeon-hwa unnie said it helps boost imagination.

Huh? But Euna unnie said she dropped it because of too many assignments

.

All the information the kids gathered came from people they knew.

There was no use discussing further.

From the start, they hadnt joined the academy to take fun and easy classes for grades. They enrolled to enhance what they needed.

Thats why they aimed for the top ranks in the entrance exams.

At times like this, if Eunha were here

Why did No Eunha suddenly

Silence fell.

The kids, quietly looking at their schedules, shared similar thoughts.

If Eunha were here

If he was there to guide their path, they wouldnt be lost like this.

Overall, the atmosphere wasnt cheerful.

Just because one person wasnt there.

We cant leave it like this.

After a moments hesitation, Eunha decided to leave it be.

If he didnt react, they might lose interest and disappear.

Knock, knock.

Truly idle people indeed.

Now, they were actually knocking on the door with their mouths.

It was unbelievable, so Eunha decided to check the face of the person standing on the veranda himself.

He felt terrible.

He would make them pay for this.

Grabbing the curtain harshly, Eunha was taken aback by the person standing on the veranda.

With one hand holding the curtain, he looked down at the girl, smiling brightly.

Ha.

Jung Hayang didnt even bother sighing and continued to smile even as he sighed.

He waited for her to open the door.

Knock, knock. Please open the door.

He had no intention of dealing with her.

He wanted to throw her out of the balcony, but for now, he endured because it was her.

She must have known that, yet she stood there without giving up.

Knock, knock. Noh Eunha, second place in the Player Middle School Academy entrance exam? Please open the door.

If you dont open, I might break this door?

What? Why are you here?

He reluctantly opened the window.

Her mana was expressing that she wasnt lying.

Finally opened.

Hayang took off her slippers and entered the room without permission.

Tying her hair with a ribbon, she looked around the room.

Theres nothing in the room. Ah, I see. Is this brought by Un-ah unnie?

Hayang must have known Eunhas mood.

Yet, pretending not to know, she chattered while examining the well-equipped room.

Girls are not allowed here. Go back to your dorm before the dorm supervisor catches you.

He noticed the smell of soap as she passed by. Had she just taken a bath?

He tried to speak as casually as possible, despite her revealing female figure.

Ugh, no.

Hayang responded without fear, hiding her hands behind her back and slowly approaching with bare feet.

Her round eyes were focused solely on him.

Why on earth are you here?

She seemed unfamiliar.

He thought she wouldnt be someone who would recklessly do something like this.

But it wasnt like that.

She was cautious by nature.

Yet, here she was, at the male dormitory late at night without hesitation, even making threats so blatantly.

Dont strain your face too much.

Now Hayang was using her fingers to stroke her cheek.

Eunhas irritation vanished, replaced with utter bewilderment at what was happening. Why was she acting like this today?

He blinked, wondering if she had eaten something weird.

Then

You finally noticed me?

Meeting her eyes, he smiled as if she were happy. Her eyes shimmered with the moonlight.

Time

Even if theres no time, you have to come with me.

As if refusing any opposition, Hayang interrupted him.

Are you angry?

Eunha sighed.

He hadnt been angry for a long time.

He asked, facing the wind blowing from the veranda.

Where are we going?

Its a secret.

What did she have in mind?

He looked at her, with her index finger resting on her lips.

Sure, fine.

Ill do as you say.

He nodded silently.

Then she suddenly grabbed his hand.

From now on, Ill kidnap Eunha.

Where is there a kidnapper who openly declares that theyll kidnap someone?

Hey, right here.

Leading him to the veranda, Hayang, looking surprised, walked through the room and took out his shoes from the shoe cabinet.

Eunha silently put on the shoes she offered with a mischievous grin.

She held his hand and led him.

Lets have a party.

It was a sweet reverberation.

The two of them leaped off the veranda.
