The Law of Webnovels - Chapter 295
Chapter 295: Chapter 295
.
I understood the underlying psychology of their behaviors. They would like to see Yoo Chun Young in a close distance; however, he was such a boy who emitted a dreadfully frigid atmosphere. As of now, I knew how gentle and easy he was to deal with, but anyway I thought that Yoo Chun Young had such an ability to frighten others with that gorgeous face.
Jooin, who was standing beside me, tried to hide somewhere, but he just came back to me again. I asked him out of surprise, “Jooin, are you okay with not hiding anymore?”
‘I was about to hide after you too…’ While I had that thought in mind, Jooin showed a smile on his yet pale face then opened his mouth.
“Uh-huh, mama because Yoo Chun Young would never recognize me.”
“Oh…”
I nodded my head in agreement. Now I had come to think of it, I was also having hair extension and wearing heavy makeup.
Lucas’s remark then flashed through my head. He said something like, ‘This is the masterpiece of my life.’ Since Lucas, who would also be a professional in makeup like Yi Ruda, spoke in that way, I wouldn’t have to be so concerned about Yoo Chun Young getting aware of who we were.
Rambling those thoughts for a moment, Jooin and I then found someone approaching Yoo Chun Young. Our face stiffened at the same time.
While Jooin suddenly hid behind my back, I yelled to myself, ‘Why are you also here? Not only Yoo Chun Young but also Eun Jiho…??!!’
I mean, why on earth were they here in Gangnam at this time of the day? For what reason did they come here together? Although tomorrow was Sunday, why did they visit this place right now? I began to put my brain to work immediately.
My imagination was then going in the worst direction. Anyway, they were the Four Heavenly Kings, who had no rival in the world inside web novels; therefore, nothing could block them to do anything.
I shook my head again. I promised myself that I would never treat them as characters in a novel. However, if that wasn’t the thing, why were the two boys here in this place around this time?
Feeling guilty somehow, I was too lost in thoughts that I didn’t even notice Jooin was pulling my wrist. When I suddenly turned my head to look beside me, Jooin was whispering to me in a pale face.
“… I think they saw us.”
WHAT?! The moment I tried to look in that direction instinctively, Jooin grabbed me again.
“No, mama. Don’t look at them. Jiho will recognize your face.”
“Then… what should we do??”
“Don’t turn around and slowly follow me.”
Jooin then bent his steps.
Ignoring my legs trembling in anxiety, I pretended to be nonchalant and walked after Jooin. Meanwhile, I could feel the piercing gaze behind my neck.
Jooin pulled me to the entrance of Club Papillon. We hesitated for a second, wondering, ‘Could we get past the club like a breeze without Lucas’s help?’ Exchanging eye contact for a moment, we then quickly changed our direction.
Since we tried to go inside anywhere while never looking back, we came to enter the alley next to Club Papillon. Having discovered a staircase leading downstairs, I urged Jooin to descend the stairs.
“Jooin, let’s go this way.”
“Do you know where it leads?”
“We should escape from them first.”
Jooin, who bit his lips after my response, then pulled me decisively.
We quickly went down the concrete staircase. That was when we caught our breath in front of the iron door. We heard two fast footsteps passing the way above us.
Putting ourselves as close as possible on the wall next to the staircase, Jooin and I held our breaths. He stood right next to me and grabbed my hand. As if he also got nervous, his hand was sweaty. Well, Jooin would get more into trouble when both of us got caught.
After a moment of concern, I heard some voices going back and forth above us. My hair stood on end.
“Why would Ham Donnie be here at this time of the day?”
The dry and flat voice belonged to Yoo Chun Young. I could even feel that he was somewhat bored.
He continued, “You said that the person next to her wasn’t even Ban Yeo Ryung.”
I also heard Eun Jiho replying, “Hey, aren’t you also here since you can’t neglect the fact that she looked so alike to Ham Donnie?”
“…”
A moment of silence prevailed in the dark alley. Even lowering the sounds of our breaths, Jooin and I was just looking above. The following remark then made me expel a burst of air from my mouth.
“Uh-uh, Ham Donnie is prettier.”
The silence didn’t last long since Eun Jiho asked back in an appalled voice.
“Are you sick?”
‘Hey, Eun Jiho…’ I quietly clenched my fist, thinking, ‘If you see me in school on Monday, I’ll kill you.’
My jaw then dropped onto the floor when Eun Jiho suddenly responded, “Well, I thought that too though.”
I screamed to myself, ‘OMG! You guys are insane!’
Although I got exasperated when Eun Jiho asked Yoo Chun Young, ‘Are you sick?’ watching Eun Jiho dropping sweet words meekly felt quite unbearable too… The moment I swept down my arm continuously in the dark, I heard Yoo Chun Young’s voice again.
“Let’s go back and do what we should do.”
‘Do what we should do?’ I wondered what that meant. Eun Jiho, however, replied, “Yeah, cool,” and bent his steps.
Listening to their receding footsteps, much later, I breathed out deeply at last. When I tried to ask Jooin if we had developed auditory hallucinations just now, he broke the ice first in the darkness.
“Love has blinded them… geez, so scary… but how could they spot us when we were wearing makeup?”
“What?”
‘Love has blinded them… are you talking about me?’ Before I flung that question, the iron door behind us suddenly opened. Jooin and I became puzzled at the unexpected, new situation. We looked in the direction simultaneously.
That was when we met the eyes inside the dark.
The club lights on the ceiling were flashing busily. Crowds of people packed the stage, and so many faces reflected in the light that it was hard to figure out who was who. Even in that situation, two people were clearly noticeable.
Every eye was bent in the same direction. Even the people, who wondered, ‘What the hell are they looking at in this chaos?’ couldn’t help fastening their gazes on the two.
Ban Yeo Ryung, one of the eye-catching two, grumbled while glancing around.
“This place is way complicated than my expectations. I never thought a members-only club could get this much packed.”
“Maybe we’ve visited on the busiest day of all occasions. I also didn’t know that there would be this many people here when today is just a regular Saturday.”
Looking around, the girl with short black hair… I mean, Lucas replied that way. He then added while slightly squinting his eyes, “Or maybe there’s something else we don’t know.”
“Eh? What do you mean?”
Lucas walked past by Ban Yeo Ryung, who just flung that question. He then bent his steps with big strides. The first floor also had numerous tables along the wall; however, the real deal of Club Papillon was on the second floor that had a huge terrace.
There was also a room with tables placed along the wall, but beaded curtains were installed on the entrance of the room, which looked more confidential. That was why Lucas had thought that he could find the employees of Reed probably on the second floor.
However, before he moved his steps to the staircase that led to the second floor, a group of guys approached him and tried to flirt with Lucas. With a sniff, he was about to get away from them peacefully, but a remark that one of the guys blurted out captured Lucas’s attention.
“Although you go upstairs, you’ll only find assholes.”
Pausing his step, Lucas raised his head and asked, “Would you tell me more about it, please?”
“Some bastards are chartering upstairs.”
“Who are they?”
Lucas’s brows then met in the middle at the returning response. He did feel that the first floor was particularly too packed with people, but there was a reason for that to happen. Lucas, who achieved the purpose of the conversation by obtaining information, ignored all the flirting that followed after.
As he returned to Ban Yeo Ryung, who was staying alone, Lucas quickly uttered, “I think we shouldn’t let the two, outside, come in here.”
“What? What are you talking about?”
After a moment of surprise, Ban Yeo Ryung’s face stiffened at his further explanation. The term, ‘bad timing’ was taking place right in front of them.
