Episode 90
Tap, tap.
At the light sound of someone tapping the table, I slowly lifted my gaze. There was Hye-rin, her brow slightly furrowed in concern.
“Still no appetite, unnie?”
Her words made me realize I’d been holding my chopsticks between my teeth this whole time, staring at my tray without actually eating. When I looked down again, my rice and side dishes remained in almost the same amount as when I’d first brought them.
I withdrew the chopstick ends from between my teeth and offered Hye-rin a light smile, though her eyes were still narrowed with concern.
“No, just thinking about something else. Sorry.”
However she chose to interpret my response, Hye-rin’s frown deepened, and her lips twitched as if she wanted to say more. But she only released a small sigh before turning back to her meal.
Watching her resume eating, I picked up a spoon with my free hand and took a sip of soup.
Ever since I’d received an IV at the Medical Office, my body had felt considerably lighter, and I’d managed training without difficulty. Yet her nagging hadn’t stopped even as we came down to the cafeteria just moments ago.
There was nothing better than eating regular, proper meals if you wanted to recover quickly—or so she’d said repeatedly. Each time, I found myself feeling as though I’d become her younger sister, which was oddly comforting.
Even Baek Seon-u had unexpectedly taken to bringing me sweet snacks every day, so much so that instead of books, my dormitory desk was now piled high with all sorts of chocolate. Because of it, I’d been eating my share of snacks diligently, despite not having much appetite these days.
‘Well, it wasn’t so bad.’
I truly hated being a burden to others, but the fact that someone was looking out for me at times like this made me feel genuinely good.
As I lingered on memories of the past few days, I absently turned my head slightly and scanned the cafeteria.
‘……Why isn’t he here?’
Baek Seon-u could be forgiven—he was a free spirit by nature—but Seo Do-hyeok had been coming down around almost the same time as me.
I searched for his distinctly noticeable black hair, but strangely, Seo Do-hyeok was nowhere to be seen. My eyes finally fixed back on my tray, and I began idly pushing around the braised pork with my chopsticks.
Then, as I suddenly realized something, my sluggish movements stopped abruptly.
‘Ridiculous.’
What exactly was I expecting?
Besides, it was entirely possible that Seo Do-hyeok was eating outside, just as I sometimes went out for instant noodles in the evenings.
But then why did it feel disappointing?
The moment I took in the sight of a stranger sitting in the spot where he usually sat alone, I felt an emotion even I couldn’t understand.
Bewildered without knowing why, I shook my head slightly—and our eyes met naturally with Hye-rin’s.
“……Unnie.”
The way she called me, her eyes narrowing to slits, made it feel as though she could see straight through my current state of mind.
Feeling oddly caught, I quietly set down my chopsticks and spoke first.
“I’ll head to the room ahead. Take your time eating and come back.”
“Huh? Let’s go together! I’m almost done.”
Hye-rin’s tray still had quite a bit of food on it—she’d loaded it with roughly double what I’d taken.
Watching her hastily chew and swallow her rice and side dishes because of my earlier behavior, I quickly abandoned the idea of leaving first.
Noticing my hesitation, Hye-rin’s rapid alternation between spoon and chopsticks immediately slowed.
‘I can’t win against her anyway.’
Still, seeing her chipmunk-like movements reminded me that the strange feeling from moments ago was gradually fading.
After finishing our meal not long after, we left the Student Cafeteria, our pace unhurried as we felt the warm air around us.
Of course, Hye-rin’s cheerful chatter didn’t stop. And the topic was about the Inter-class Match—something I’d missed because I was sick.
“So when I saw the monster, I rushed over to grab the Rogue first, right? But then this assassin from the other class suddenly showed up and I got it stolen from me.”
At her rapid, genuinely aggrieved words, I nodded in agreement internally.
“Honestly, just thinking about it makes me mad. If it weren’t for that…….”
And in that moment, Hye-rin let her words trail off and stopped walking.
I stopped alongside her, and immediately felt goosebumps rise along my spine, which I hid as discreetly as possible.
‘Wow, the timing.’
How was it possible to arrive right while we were talking about an assassin from the other class?
Thanks to the familiar chill radiating from behind us, I could immediately tell who was standing there.
“Ha-ryeong.”
The moment that heavy, low voice pierced my ears, Hye-rin gently pulled at one of my arms. I naturally bent forward slightly, and she whispered just loudly enough for us to hear.
“I’ll go first. Have a good talk!”
Hye-rin’s tone carried an unmistakable buoyancy. She glanced up at me with a subtle smile playing at the corners of her mouth, then—before I could even open my mouth—she dashed ahead without so much as a backward glance toward the Dormitory.
“…….”
And as if on cue, a white wall appeared right before me. In other words, Cha Yu-hyeon—dressed in light, comfortable athletic wear but still managing to look polished—blocked my path.
When I met his hard gaze and tilted my head slightly in question, he suddenly extended one hand toward me, holding a book with a white cover and an enigmatic title.
My eyes naturally drifted to the book, then back to Cha Yu-hyeon. “What is this?”
“What is this?”
“Thought you might need it.”
At his typical, offhand tone that treated everything as trivial, my eyebrows twitched reflexively.
He’d somehow learned that I liked instant noodles without my ever mentioning it, yet apparently he hadn’t figured out that I disliked books.
Despite that, I found myself taking it naturally, which struck me as absurd. So I simply stared at Cha Yu-hyeon. His lips, normally drawn tight as the chill he exuded, relaxed slightly, and his tone softened just a little.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
Which somehow made it worse. The image of him from that night in the Alley flashed unbidden into my mind, and I barely managed to stifle the sigh rising in my throat.
“Well, I thought I might as well write a book review or something.”
I’d forced some levity into my response, but Cha Yu-hyeon, ever considerate of others’ embarrassment, erased the softness from his expression in an instant. Then he stepped closer, leaned in, and brought his lips near my ear.
“Don’t lose it. It’s the original.”
…….
With that, Cha Yu-hyeon straightened up, fixed me with a brief, hollow stare, and turned on his heel to stride away.
As I watched his receding figure with a vaguely bewildered feeling, I only then realized my lips had parted slightly.
In any case, why were all the S-Class people around me so insistent on their own convictions…….
No matter how I thought about it, it seemed to match perfectly with their sky-piercing pride.
‘Well, I suppose I’m a bit that way too.’
With that frivolous thought, I let out a small laugh. Then I, still standing alone on the path, made my way back to the Dormitory at a leisurely pace.
* * *
I got down from my bed and sat at my desk, then retrieved the book Cha Yu-hyeon had given me.
Not long after I’d returned to the Dormitory, a Class A student had come to my room and briefly called Hye-rin out, which gave me this window of time.
I carefully grasped the bookmark jutting slightly from the top of the book and opened the pages. Between them lay a single memo and a small object, both coming into view.
…….
I really couldn’t understand why every time I met with Cha Yu-hyeon, things always seemed to unfold this way.
I shook my head naturally and picked up the small USB first, connecting it to my Mobile Phone after turning on the screen. When I clicked on the downloaded file, a password entry window popped up.
‘Shouldn’t he have given me the password too……?’
For a moment, I checked the memo that had been tucked between the pages, but no matter how I looked at it, it was clearly someone’s Mobile Phone number.
‘What could it be.’
I closed my eyes tight for a moment and, out of habit, pressed the knuckle of my index finger firmly against the bridge of my nose. Of course, I could have simply messaged Cha Yu-hyeon to solve this, but if that were the case, he wouldn’t have bothered to make it complicated in the first place.
Then suddenly my eyes flew open.
‘Could it be that?’
With half-formed certainty, I entered four digits. The moment I pressed the confirmation button, a loading icon appeared in the pop-up, and after a few seconds, the screen changed.
I never thought he’d actually use the same password as his own tablet.
Soon the screen filled with a file list that easily contained dozens of items.
‘Wow…….’
Could I really get through all of this before Hye-rin arrived? I had no idea where to even begin.
In the end, I went through the files one by one, carefully examining them for quite a long time. Most contained unfamiliar company names and records of large sums exchanged between individuals, but some of the materials I’d already seen through Cha Yu-hyeon, so they felt familiar.
However, when I opened the next file and scrolled down, my mind suddenly went blank and my hand froze mid-gesture.
“Ha.”
And naturally, a hollow laugh slipped through my teeth.
Every single one of the Drug List photographs that Seo Do-hyeok had sent me was contained without exception inside the USB that Cha Yu-hyeon had given me.
I’d suspected as much, but I never thought they were actually sharing all their information with each other.
It occurred to me anew that I absolutely must never make enemies of these people. Of course, that included Baek Seon-u, who seemed easygoing on the surface but dealt bone-deep fatal blows whenever the moment struck.
‘Good grief.’
Finally regaining some composure, I set down my Mobile Phone and naturally picked up a ballpoint pen from nearby. Then I began rolling the pen between my fingers, organizing the tangled thoughts in my head.
Then my rolling eyes suddenly caught the white memo I’d left on one side of the desk earlier.
Click.
I dropped the pen onto the desk and without hesitation pulled the paper toward me. I didn’t know whose number it was, but perhaps this was what Cha Yu-hyeon intended for me to do.
‘Another hint to think things through.’
Truth be told, I didn’t deliberate long.
I picked up my Mobile Phone again, entered the number he’d given me, and touched the call button. Just as I was taking a shallow breath from an inexplicable nervousness, the brief dial tone suddenly cut off.
…….
—Yes, this is Lee Hae-jeong.
What pierced through my ear was a woman’s voice—dry yet strangely familiar.
