Chapter 50

.

Eun Jiho looked at Woo Jooin, then to Yoo Chun Young. When he looked back at Kwon Eun Hyung’s smiling face, he realized that Eun Hyung had no idea how to stop her as well.

‘Oh, lord. We just got into this school.’ Eun Jiho raised his head to see the wall clock and knew that only 3 hours had passed since the entrance ceremony. Only 3 hours passed, but a huge event had already sparked an ember among their hearts.

‘Would this school be okay?’ Eun Jiho thought quietly.

If Ham Donnie could read his mind, she would definitely shed tears and hug him, but unfortunately, she was not here.

In the meantime, Ham Donnie was thinking while looking at Yi Ruda, who held each other’s hands with a shy face, ‘What the hell is wrong with her?’

Article 5. The Female Crossdresser Seduces Both Guys, Girls, and Everyone

For some reason, there flew a disquieting air inside the classroom.

I moved myself a little. Yi Ruda, who sat beside me, was moving her head along my every move. Her eyes were still on the back of my head.

Hmm, I heaved a sigh to myself and moved my body to the side again. Yi Ruda’s stare followed again faithfully.

Come on, stop! As soon as I turned my head back, I found a huge number of eyes looking at me from all around.

Everyone in our classroom was excited to watch what Yi Ruda and I were doing. That is, everyone knew the strange chemistry going on between Yi Ruda and I. I meant, they’re excitedly watching Yi Ruda’s having a crush on me. Holy mother-of-pearl! I grabbed my desk tight.

A few kids stared at us with blushed faces. It was clear what they were thinking about.

‘Ruda seems to have a crush on her!’

No! I yelled to myself as I held my desk tight. Their gazes on me would never stop if I wouldn’t do something about her. With that thought in my mind, I looked at my side again.

Her curly hair covering her forehead, her pretty lips glowing with no products on, and her small and round nose tip. Looking at her facial features this close was so overwhelming that I almost exclaimed.

I began to compare Ban Yeo Ryung and Yi Ruda within my mind unconsciously.

Who was more beautiful? In fact, Yi Ruda’s appearance was outstanding enough to be in line with Ban Yeo Ryung since most of the girls would look like a squid compared to Yeo Ryung; besides, Ruda did not look like a boy at all.

Instead, I might look more masculine than her. As I agreed to myself, I gave out a hollow smile.

What a world! Stop discriminating the female protagonists. If one were about to cross-dress a female, at least make her look more masculine than me! Wouldn’t that make more sense?

I had no more energy to know anything at this point. I murmured to myself to just let it go to set myself free. It was my bad to expect common sense in this world. Hadn’t I already recognized that by looking at Ban Yeo Ryung and the Four Heavenly Kings for the last 3 years of my like in close proximity?

While I continuously strengthened the flames of my anger, Yi Ruda never let her gorgeous blue eyes off me. Then when we made eye contact, she would give out a bright smile which made the boys around her blush somehow.

Oh, Jesus Christ. Yi Ruda would obviously be a boy to them, but why were they blushing after seeing the smile of someone on the same gender as theirs?

Since she kept her gaze at me, being speechless did not feel right too. I hated to become close with Yi Ruda, who would indeed have a reason to cross-dress like a boy; however, as long as we share only daily conversations together, it would not be a problem. I eased my mind and slowly detached my lips.

My crisis management skill was truly splendid. I developed it after my long-time experience of planning things inside my head to get away from Ban Yeo Ryung and the Four Heavenly Kings. Though I hadn’t verified the effectivity of this skill yet, I could still indulge in self-flattery.

I already finished simulating the conversation with Yi Ruda. The talk I predicted was like this.

Ham Donnie (The female protagonist’s run-of-the-mill friend, a piece of dust) would say, “Ruda, have you ever heard of the Four Heavenly Kings of Ji Jon Middle School?”

Yi Ruda would then reply, “Oh, the Four Heavenly Kings? Not in my life. What is that?”

Ham Donnie would explain, “So, they are the super sick four handsome boys.”

Yi Ruda would then respond, “Oh, yeah? Wonder who they are.”

Of course, Yi Ruda had no interest in boys at all from what I had seen so far; however, since she was born as a female protagonist of a web novel, could she even refuse the Four Heavenly Kings?

No way. She would definitely feel a magnetic attraction to them as if it was her destiny or something like that. So to say, if I threw a teaser at her, she would indeed get interested in them.

When she asked me about the Four Heavenly Kings, I would do my best to respond. When the love then buds among them, I could finally live a normal happy life wherein no one would care about me anymore!

Great. I didn’t get how this was possible, but since I became different classes with the Four Heavenly Kings and Ban Yeo Ryung, my vision of a normal school life might come true this time!

My eyes were burning like fire. I opened my lips looking at Yi Ruda.

“Ruda.”

“Yeah?”

Her blue eyes even shed lusters. I said to myself, ‘Cool, she seems cooperative! This would work!’

“Have you ever heard of the Four Heavenly Kings of Ji Jon Middle School?”

I waited for her answer. One second, two seconds, three seconds. As the silence continued, Yi Ruda’s face cooled down with a lack of enthusiasm.

What was this reaction…? Her face looked even harsher. She then suddenly had that face right beside me as she asked a question. The voice seemed quite threatening at some point.

“Are you going to talk about other guys in front of me?”

“…”

What was this unpredictable reaction? Were all kids from America all like her?

As I stared at her as she held the backrest of my chair, I was at a loss for words; she sighed shortly then spoke while shaking her head.

“If you want to talk about other guys in front of me, what do you want me to say? It feels unpleasant, but other than that, I would like to hear your story.”

“…”

She already dropped a bombshell that made me rooted to the spot once again. My head felt like it was banging. Still being dumbstruck, I looked up to gaze at her and as I lost my train of thought.

What the hell was she talking about? Did she really forget about her gender identity by falling deeply into her cross-dressing habit?

As I remained silent for quite a while, Yi Ruda had her elbow on her desk to rest her chin. Then she gazed at me with a smile.

While looking at her blue-colored eyes, I stumbled upon the fact that at least one out of a hundred people could believe that she was actually a ‘he.’

I finally gave up my plan of ‘Turning Yi Ruda’s attention to the Four Heavenly Kings and I’m out.’

Come on, what was actually going on right now? I grabbed my head. Why was she only interested in me? Was spending the entire 3 years attached to Ban Yeo Ryung not enough? Was my life also designated to be at the mercy of this female cross-dresser, Yi Ruda?

Inside my head, master Ham Donnie, who read web novels for over two decades, was coming up to the stage with a suit on. The flashy spotlight followed her way along the dark stage.

The chubby guy standing aside pointed and said to Ham Donnie, the master within her head.

“Wow~! I’ve heard about you reading only web novels for over two decades. How was that possible?”

Ham Donnie within her head touched her tie and responded with her nose high in the air.

“Well, web novels are, I’d say, too attractive to refuse, so I never found it difficult at all to read about it for the last 20 years!”

At that moment, one of the audience threw a question at her.

“You’re only 17 years old. How come you’ve read novels for over 20 years, which is longer than your actual age?”
