.

However, Ruda gave no attention to my reaction but just turned his head away from me with his arms crossed. When he sent a kind smile, which he would never show to his enemy, Hwang Siwoo responded in a very surprising way.

He didn鈥檛 budge an eye at all when his clique tried to stop him from acting aggressively; however, instead of asking Ruda to not intervene as he dropped some careless words, Hwang Siwoo just replied sulkily, 鈥淒idn鈥檛 you hear that bit鈥?you heard what she said to me鈥︹€?/p>

I became speechless at his attitude pointing his finger at me like a tattling child. He even filtered his words.

Leaning deeply against the gym wall, Ruda replied in a low and chill voice.

鈥淵es, I heard that.鈥?/p>

Hwang Siwoo鈥檚 face brightened as Ruda agreed to him without hesitation. He uttered, 鈥淩ight? You鈥檒l know why I鈥檓 so angry right now since you鈥檝e heard that, so鈥︹€?/p>

While those words slipped out of Hwang Siwoo鈥檚 mouth in excitement, Ruda cut him off again.

鈥淏ut that doesn鈥檛 change the fact that we鈥檙e gonna see each other for a year, does it?鈥?/p>

鈥溾€︹€?/p>

While Hwang Siwoo shut his mouth with a grimace, Ruda pointed his finger at me, the Kim twins, and the rest of the class, sitting through the discord situation, histrionically. He added, 鈥淚f someone keeps behaving irritatingly, we can make the person transfer to another school, but what are you gonna do to antagonize all these kids?鈥?/p>

鈥淭hat won鈥檛 affect me. What are they gonna do? Ants just end up into a swarm of ants,鈥?argued Hwang Siwoo.

鈥淲hat matters is that they are humans, not ants. Besides, if they try to witness this situation as a group, are you really able to handle that? No matter how much your 鈥榖ack-ups鈥?support you, it鈥檒l be impossible to deflect what you did.鈥?/p>

鈥楤ack-ups?鈥?I tilted my head upon the particularly emphasized word.

Ruda continued, 鈥淏esides if you can鈥檛 even conquer such an ordinary high school class fight and go ask your back-ups for help, I wonder how they鈥檒l see you鈥?Didn鈥檛 you tell me that you want to succeed Eun Kyum sunbae?鈥?/p>

As Yi Ruda dropped those words while twisting his blond hair with his finger, Hwang Siwoo just bit his lips wordlessly. Considering his reaction when the name, 鈥楨un Kyum,鈥?popped out earlier, Hwang Siwoo was, right now, acting so astoundingly.

He, at last, uttered, 鈥淲hat do you think I should do?鈥?/p>

Hwang Siwoo鈥檚 subsided tone surprised me again. His voice sounded, of course, furious at some point, but he was definitely 鈥榓sking Ruda鈥檚 opinion鈥?cautiously, not 鈥榞iving an order鈥?to him.

That might have finally pleased Ruda. With a grin, he returned a response, which made me blink.

鈥淟et鈥檚 do it right now, the thing we couldn鈥檛 do it at the beginning of the semester.鈥?/p>

鈥淭he thing we couldn鈥檛鈥?at the beginning of the semester?鈥?asked Hwang Siwoo.

Ruda replied, 鈥淎 brawl.鈥?/p>

WHAT? Once I heard that word, my brain fell into confusion. Since it came out from his mouth in an everyday tone like 鈥榮tudying for test鈥?or 鈥榣istening to music,鈥?I wasn鈥檛 able to grasp the meaning immediately.

While my brows quickly met in the middle as I barely learned what it indicated, Ruda glanced at me as if he was checking my reaction.

He continued speaking, 鈥淚n fact, you and Yoon Jung In ran up against each other in every way from the beginning of the semester. That means you two have had utterly different styles, but it became a problem since you guys tried to ignore it and remain together that way.鈥?/p>

鈥淪o,鈥?asked Hwang Siwoo.

Ruda replied, 鈥淲hat if we divide into groups and have a real fight? The group that defeated the other will have the right to control the entire class. How鈥檚 that? We should be using the same classroom for a year, so that will make us comfortable, eventually.鈥?/p>

Hwang Siwoo rubbed his chin as if he was putting on his thinking cap.

鈥淗mm鈥︹€?/p>

Ruda spoke yet in a sweet voice, 鈥淥f course, the defeated will become uncomfortable, but it鈥檚 their fault to be weak, isn鈥檛 it?鈥?/p>

Yi Ruda鈥檚 way of speaking sounded like he was assured that he and Hwang Siwoo would already win the fight. Actually, if Ban Hwee Hyul didn鈥檛 make up his mind to show his true ability, I was aware that things would turn out that way, so I just bit my lips.

As if it wasn鈥檛 only me who thought that way, the clique, who stood behind Hwang Siwoo as in the famous tactic, Hakikjin, the crane wing formation during the historical naval battle in the 16th century, also babbled to each other noisily.

鈥淗wang Siwoo plus Yi Ruda?鈥?/p>

鈥淣o one can beat them, never鈥︹€?/p>

鈥淎s long as Yi Ruda is on our side鈥︹€?/p>

That was when Ruda stared at me again. When we almost had eye contact, I turned my head away from him so obviously. He would feel hurt, but it was me who thought that there was nothing more to be disappointed in him now.

When I completely turned myself away from him, I kind of felt a stinging gaze on my cheek. However, I rather decided to just neglect Ruda.

At that moment, I heard Hwang Siwoo鈥檚 voice.

鈥淐ool, let鈥檚 do that.鈥?/p>

It sounded too apathetic to tell that he had come up with a critical decision. Well, since he had nothing to lose, for now, that was natural somehow.

It was, of course, us who was in urgent need of help. Hwang Siwoo would indeed know how to fight, but even Yi Ruda was about to support him. However, in this case, Yi Ruda could become an object of concern rather than Hwang Siwoo and his boys.

Looking at our side, Yi Ruda spoke calmly, 鈥淭hen let鈥檚 not provoke each other until we decide the numbers of the participants, date, and time. Things will be sorted out after the fight, so we don鈥檛 need to behave impetuously, right?鈥?/p>

He didn鈥檛 even ask our opinions. Ruda鈥檚 attitude looked very convinced as if we would definitely accept his suggestion, or perhaps, according to his view, weakness was the fault, so we might have no right to assert our opinions. Whatever it was, we couldn鈥檛 help but feel very upset.

As soon as Yi Ruda finished speaking, Lee Mina helped Yoon Jung In to stand up as if they had promised to do so. Hwang Siwoo, who acted like a mad dog until just now, raised both hands like a surrender and watched the two walk past by him. It seemed like he was about to follow Yi Ruda鈥檚 suggestion, not provoking the other group.

Once the two came within a few steps away from me, I lowered my voice and asked, 鈥淎re you okay?鈥?/p>

Yoon Jung In looked better than I thought. Unlike Ban Hwee Hyul, he didn鈥檛 lose consciousness.

鈥淯h-huh, I鈥檓 just bleeding,鈥?he replied and wiped out under his nose with the back of his palm.

Looking at Yoon Jung In with reddened eyes, Lee Mina urged, 鈥淟et鈥檚 go. He grabbed you by the collar as soon as you鈥檙e bleeding. They say we must now raise our head after a nosebleed鈥︹€?/p>

鈥淎h, I鈥檓 really fine. It was just a few seconds,鈥?said Yoon Jung In.

Despite his response, Lee Mina became close to tears again and finally moved her shoulders up and down. Looking bewildered, Yoon Jung In pulled her in his arms in the end.

We left the gym in shreds that way like remnants of a defeated troop. It was still pouring severely outside. Since it seemed like a prediction of our future, I felt heavy on my chest.

There was no one in the nurse鈥檚 office. The nurse and the music teacher were famous best friends, so they might be having tea time in the empty music room that had no class inside.

鈥淭he nurse is always not in the office every time we come.鈥?/p>

鈥淓xactly, I want to ask her if her conscience is okay while receiving all her salary.鈥?/p>

While Yoon Jung In and Kim Hye Woo grumbled one after another, a cotton swab applied with disinfectant touched their cheeks.

URGH!! Yoon Jung In soon burst into a painful moan. Kim Hye Woo then tossed a question in perplexity.

鈥淗ey, Kim Hye Hill, I got hit nowhere?!鈥?/p>

Pretending to be surprised, Kim Hye Hill covered her mouth and replied, 鈥淏ut your face looks like this even when no one smacked you?鈥?/p>

鈥淗ey鈥︹€?/p>

鈥淣ever mind. If you didn鈥檛 get beaten, move. Why are you occupying the bed when you didn鈥檛 get any attack?鈥?/p>

As Kim Hye Hill kicked Kim Hye Woo on his thigh, he pouted his mouth and left the bed. He knew it very well that there was a more urgent patient than him.

鈥淵ou and I look quite much the same, so do you know that what you just said is cutting off the nose to spite your face?鈥?/p>

Kim Hye Woo kept grumbling even after he left the bed. Utterly ignoring him, Kim Hye Hill grabbed Ban Hwee Hyul鈥檚 chin and turned it carefully in every direction.

As if I was a patient鈥檚 family waiting for the result of a surgery, I watched the sight nervously.
