The Law of Webnovels - Chapter 294
Chapter 294: Chapter 294

* * *
We decided to sneak into the club on Saturday night.
On weekdays, we had to go to school as a student, so we had no choice; besides, once we took the card key, we should sneak into Yi Jenny’s place immediately before the employees reported a burglary to the police. We, therefore, allotted enough time for the plan, which we did until the next morning.
However, how could I leave my house on a Saturday night when my parents were at home? Such a problem existed from the very beginning.
That was, however, simply solved by Lucas’ brilliant ability.
When my parents were asleep, I tiptoed on bare feet while carrying only a bag with a change of clothes and holding my shoes to avoid any noise. Stepping out to the apartment corridor, I flung a question when the door closed.
“How on earth did you open the door so quietly? Aside from that, how did you open our door in the first place? I think I never told you the password.”
Putting his forefinger on his lips, Lucas smiled as if he felt sorry.
“I don’t do this to any other houses. I mean it.”
“…”
‘Only having such terrifying abilities, what were the characters in web novels trying to be when they grew up?’
With that thought in mind, I turned my head when I heard footsteps coming from behind me.
“Ta-da! I just left and told my parents that I’m gonna have a sleepover at your house, Donnie.”
Looking at Ban Yeo Ryung, who came right in front of my face and sent me a dazzling gaze as if she wanted to get a compliment from me, I thought, ‘And what is she trying to be when she grows up with this fascinating appearance?’
Anyway, this was not the right time for me to be captivated by Ban Yeo Ryung’s beauty. In fear of encountering other neighbors in this apartment, we descended the outdoor stairs stealthily. In the parking lot, Jooin waited for us while pulling his hat over his eyes with a bag on his back just like me.
Getting on the cab, we uttered, “Apgujeong station, please.”
Club Papillon was in Gangnam, but going to Apgujeong station was the fastest way to get there.
Lowering his voice, Lucas quickly reviewed our plan.
“It’s only ten in the night, so let’s first store our bags in the subway lockers then finish our makeup in the women’s bathroom.” Lucas then glanced at Jooin for a second and added with an enigmatic smile. “Hmm… you look fine. You didn’t wear any makeup, but wearing the hat and skirt is not strange on you. That’s good. They won’t be suspicious of you even in the women’s bathroom.”
Jooin whispered somewhat savagely, “I don’t need your words of comfort, so would you just… shut up?”
Looking at us, Jooin quickly changed the intonation at the end of his sentence. I thought, ‘Oh, Jooin is so stressed out that he’s even speaking out of control in front of us. I feel you, though.’
The taxi driver in front began to glance at us through the rearview mirror, so we stopped our suspicious conversation.
I discreetly glanced at Lucas, who was sitting beside me during that moment of silence inside the car. He was also dressed in a female outfit to avert suspicion, but since he had an oval face and long sky-blue hair that almost covered his ears, Lucas really looked like a high school girl with short hair.
He obviously looked like a guy until yesterday, but how could he change this much just by wearing a skirt? Perhaps he also altered his attitude and behavior covertly. I couldn’t even imagine what other talents he had.
As soon as we got off the cab, we quickly headed to the women’s bathroom.
That was when each of us went into the stalls with our bags and came out wearing different outfits. Holding on to the wall, Ban Yeo Ryung and I soon sank our heads on our chests. Jooin, who stood in front of us with a grimace, touched the hemline of his skirt and asked, “I know… I look so… ridiculous, right?”
“No, not at all,” I replied with a subsided voice.
Yeo Ryung then said, “True. You don’t look ridiculous at all, Jooin. You’re just so pretty right now.”
“But why aren’t you guys looking in this direction?”
Listening to Jooin’s rarely icy-cold voice, I murmured, ‘It’s just that I feel so ashamed of myself…’ I then turned my head.
Jooin was wearing natural makeup that went along his light brown hair. His lips were glittering with lip gloss on; he wore a green cable knit sweater and a pair of black skinny jeans. Putting his hand together in front like a coy girl, Jooin looked—without joking—fiercely gorgeous.
He then asked back in a lack of confidence.
“Would I get caught?”
“No, never…”
Replying to Jooin sincerely, Lucas left the stall and said to us, “Why are you all standing like that? Does my masterpiece look weird?”
“No… we’re fine, but Jooin is…” Speaking to that point, I suddenly became speechless when I saw Lucas.
I had no idea what he did to his sky-blue hair since it turned into a short black hair. Even wearing a pair of black color lenses on his eyes, Lucas looked stunningly hot.
Mix-matching a white ruffle blouse with a choker and a leather skirt with boots, his overall style looked odd and fabulous at the same time. Anyway, both Jooin and Lucas didn’t look like high school students, maybe because they were tall or had a mature vibe.
Looking into the mirror, I adjusted my bangs.
“… Isn’t it me who matters the most?”
The problem wasn’t the unexpected cross-dressing; it was me. Honestly, Yeo Ryung was too captivating that the club would just let her in without checking her age.
Rearranging my hair extensions awkwardly, I heaved a sigh. As long as I was here, the dice was already thrown. I just wished I could get into the club with these guys.
After all that preparation, we finally headed outside. It was the start of our plan.

Standing near the club, Lucas whispered, “I’ll first go inside to check the overall atmosphere and if the Reed employees are also in there today. All of us don’t have to go in yet. It would just be an extra hassle, which we don’t need right now.”
“Yeah.”
“Anyone else want to go with me?”
He then switched his gaze to Jooin and asked, “What about you, Joo… sun…?”
“Would you please stop calling me like that when we aren’t in the situation yet?”
‘Don’t you hear the fuse of my patience burning?’ When Jooin added that sentence savagely, Lucas shut his mouth and flaunted a smile.
On behalf of Jooin, who was having great difficulty controlling his patience after cross-dressing as a girl, Yeo Ryung raised her hand. Walking toward the club, Lucas shouted to the rest of us.
“Don’t follow anyone even if they ask you to do so!”
“We aren’t kids, are we?”
Without listening to my response, the two disappeared through the building light.
Watching them leave, we soon turned our heads to glance around. Since this was our first time coming here late at night, we realized how unfamiliar everything seemed. Feeling embarrassed somehow, I rubbed my arm and said, “There’s a lot of people even at this time of the day.”
“Yeah, and a lot of cars, too,” replied Jooin with a nod. He also seemed to find this scenery quite impressive.
The only place we could hang around at ten or eleven in the night was a public park, so although we lived in Seoul for our whole life, it was our first time encountering Gangnam’s night.
The dazzling lights, clothes, and accessories displayed inside the glass window with couples linking their arms and young crowds wandering around with shopping bags on their arms… Glancing at them one after another, I suddenly fixed my gaze at something that grabbed my attention.
Inside the moving crowds, I spotted a familiar face and quietly opened my mouth.
“Eh?’
Jooin, who was standing beside me, turned around to look at me.
“What’s wrong, mama?”
“Isn’t that Yoon Chun Young?”
Jooin’s face tinged pale as soon as he heard my response. Asking me back, ‘What?’ he turned around to look in the direction. A feeling of frustration rapidly spread out on his face.
It was really Yoo Chun Young. Putting his phone on his mouth, Yoo Chun Young said something over the phone. Meanwhile, some people approached him and stepped back from him over and over.
