“Don’t even turn your heads, just pretend you didn’t know!”
“We can reach the top of a hill then speed up when coming down the slope.”
“Chwiik. We got to go.”
Their instantaneous agreement showed how desperate they were.
Coming together!
There were a lot of embarrassing moments in everybody’s lives. But when a situation such as hanging out with the Geomchis came forth, it was best to turn tail and run rather than playing along.
And so, a secret countermeasure was put in place.
Seukseuk.(brushing)
Yurin was still sitting on the ground painting in her sketchbook.
She had been drawing without taking a single break to increase her skill proficiency.
Zephyr had slipped away from his colleagues meeting regarding the Geomchis and pondered at the sight before him.
‘I wonder how she lived to trust her brother so much.’
A little while back, Weed’s words to Yurin were kept to a minimal, yet somehow, the message from one to another was well understood.
Her parents died when she was young, so it was tough having a steady home.
‘I don’t how anyone lived without money. Even the dolls I had were foreign made.’
Zephyr had never first hand experienced any kind of poverty.
When he was a kid, instead of toys to play with, he was handed jewelry and many things that shouldn’t be given to a kid.
Only times where he’d went without money was when he didn’t receive his allowance for not cleaning his room, or had his platinum credit card taken away for a slip in his grades.
His one crushing trauma was when he didn’t have the money to go to night clubs with his friends the week after.
‘She is such a nice and pretty girl to live such a heart wrenching life.’
Zephyr couldn’t endure watching from the side.
He didn’t know anything regarding Yurin and was not appropriate to console her.
He though she should at the very least smile a lot more while enjoying Royal Road, but now only to encounter an embarrassing moment brought on by the Geomchis.
Zephyr said to her kindly.
“It’s alright. It’ll be fine.”
“Hm?”
Yurin seemingly confused, as she didn’t understand what she was told.
She was enjoying painting. Envisioned what color goes where to produce a beautiful painting.
She was happy when finished her drawing!
This was a good thing, so she brooded over what she was told from next to her.
Due to the unusual reaction, Zephyr said cautiously.
“Umm, have you not heard? Due to the Geomchis embarrassing actions, we called together a meeting to plan what we should do.”
Yurin’s eyes twinkled.
“Why? Aren’t they cool?”
“……”
Zephyr jaw dropped.
“I drew a picture of it to keep for a long time. On another note, I can sell this to girls for money. Hehehe.”
“……”
Zephyr felt a cold sweat running down his spine.
He was momentarily captured by Yurin’s cuteness.
