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 a boy who emitted such a dreadfully frigid atmosphere that they couldn’t do so. I knew how gentle and comfortable he was to deal with, but anyway, I knew Yoo Chun Young could frighten others with his 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 still pale face then opened his mouth.
“Uh-huh, mama, because Yoo Chun Young would never recognize me.”
“Oh…”
I nodded in agreement. Now that I had come to think of it, I also had hair extensions and heavy makeup.
Lucas’ 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 that way, I wouldn’t have to be so concerned about Yoo Chun Young finding out who we were.
Rambling those thoughts for a moment, Jooin and I found someone approaching Yoo Chun Young. Our face stiffened at the same time.
While Jooin suddenly hid behind me, 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 it was Sunday tomorrow, why did they visit this place now? I began to put my brain to work immediately.
My imagination was going in the worst direction. Anyway, they were the Four Heavenly Kings, who’s unrivaled in web novels; therefore, nothing could block them from doing 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 around this time?
Feeling guilty somehow, I was so lost in thoughts I didn’t even notice Jooin pulling my wrist. When I suddenly turned my head to look beside me, I saw Jooin whispering something to me with a pale face.
“… I think they saw us.”
WHAT!? When 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 as they trembled in anxiety, I pretended to be nonchalant and walked after Jooin. Meanwhile, I could feel the piercing gaze behind me.
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’ help?’ Exchanging eye contact for a moment, we then quickly changed our direction.
Since we tried to head anywhere without 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 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 above us.
Putting ourselves as close as possible on the wall next to the staircase, Jooin and I held our breaths. He stood right beside me and grabbed my hand. It seemed that he also got nervous since 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 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 also think she looks so much like Ham Donnie?”
“…”
A moment of silence prevailed in the dark alley. We lowered the sounds of our breaths; Jooin and I were just looking above them. 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… When 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, 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 view 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 wondered, ‘What the hell are they looking at in this chaos?’ couldn’t help but fasten their gazes on the two.
Ban Yeo Ryung, one of the eye-catching two, grumbled while glancing around.
“This place is way more complicated than I expected. I never thought a members-only club could get this much packed.”
“Maybe we’ve visited on the busiest day. I also didn’t know 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 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 made it look more confidential. That was why Lucas had thought he could find the employees of Reed on the second floor.
However, before he moved his steps to the staircase that led to the second floor, a group of men approached Lucas and tried to flirt with him. He was about to get away from them peacefully with a sniff, but a remark that one of the guys blurted out captured Lucas’s attention.
“Even if 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’ brows then met in the middle after hearing that reply. He did feel that the first floor was particularly packed with people, but there had got to be a reason for it. Lucas, who achieved the purpose of the conversation by obtaining this 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 those two outside come in here.”
“What? What are you talking about?”
After a moment, Ban Yeo Ryung’s face stiffened at his further explanation. It’s suffice to say that they’re ‘in the right place at the wrong time.’
