Chapter 40
‘Hey, what do we do? I think we’ve been spotted.’
Do-jae glared angrily down the narrow alleyway.
It was where Song Ji-yoon and Yook Hyeon-jae had been hiding and watching.
‘I don’t know. You figure it out.’
‘You tell me what to do?! After spying together yourself!’
‘I clearly said we shouldn’t do this.’
Song Ji-yoon and Yook Hyeon-jae bickered in hushed voices.
They thought they’d been following him well until now, but it turned out they hadn’t.
‘Should we say we just happened to pass by and saw them?’
‘Come up with something plausible. Do you think the captain will buy that?’
‘Then what do you suggest we do?!’
‘What else can we do? We have to go grovel and beg.’
‘Ugh. What if the class president hates us now?’
Song Ji-yoon made a pouty face.
More than anything else, she was worried about being disliked by Dojae.
‘I’d probably be really angry if it were me… But the class president is different. If we just apologize as much as possible, won’t he forgive us?’
‘Do you think so? Really? Huh. Huh.’
Yook Hyeon-jae’s positive words calmed Song Ji-yoon’s nerves a little.
She took a slow, deep breath, preparing to be scolded.
But then Dojae’s voice came again.
“I don’t want to make a big scene. Come out quickly.”
His voice was even sharper than before.
It was a line that utterly crushed Yuk Hyeon-jae’s consolation.
‘Hyunjae. Thank you for everything. I don’t think I can show my face around the unit anymore.’
‘You’re being uncharacteristically dramatic. Let’s just get out of here now.’
