Today Nhea spent more time with the man. More precisely, after a disagreement with his friends earlier. He only realized if it turns out Chanwo is not that mysterious. He was among those who would talk a lot when he was really close. Actually, back to who he was talking to.
“It looks like the scar will not disappear,” Chanwo said plainly.
“I also had time to think like that,” replied Nhea while paying attention to the mutual wound meant by the man earlier.
Come to think of it, what Chanwo said made sense as well. Maybe this scar will never go away. No visible changes occurred after a few months ago. His scar still looks the same. Not fading at all.
So far, Nhea has not told what the cause of this wound is. Although the man had asked earlier, but he did not force his will. It didn't matter if Nhea didn't want to tell him. That's right. Nhea had the right to determine to whom she should share her story. Can't be with just anyone. The girl had already received too much betrayal so far. From now on, he should be even more careful.
About Oliver and his friends earlier, maybe they will be friends again as before. That is if things start to improve. Nhea is not a typical vindictive person. He forgives easily, it's just hard to forget. But that doesn't mean he's vengeful. More precisely regret.
Most likely Oliver, Jongdae and Jang Eunbi will be forgiven by the girl. He did not intend to ruin his relationship with them. Only, the situation was not possible.
Things will not be possible to return to the way they were. They'll be friends again. That's certain. But, it can't be as close as it used to be. Nhea will certainly provide certain limitations. He did not want to see the same thing happen again.
***
Nhea and Chanwo have been walking together since they left the classroom. He just ignored his friends. They won't be like this. Right at the end of the corridor later, they had to split up. It's past midnight now. Class has been dissolved since a few minutes ago. Now it was time for all of them to return to their dorm rooms. Rest while recovering energy for tomorrow.
“Nhea!” someone who suddenly appeared in front of him.
Spontaneous the girl instantly stopped her steps instantly. Eun Ji Hae is already in front of her. Because Nhea and Chanwo were the last ones to walk, there was no one else in this place except the three of them. The students are on their way back to their dorm.
“Can we talk to you for a minute?” ask Eun Ji Hae.
The person in question can only blink a few times, then cleared his throat to neutralize the atmosphere. It's too awkward. Just natural. They rarely meet. And once they met, they talked about something serious. Honestly, if that's enough of a mind drain for Nhea. His thinking ability was not the same as Eun Ji Hae who was obviously some level much more proficient on it.
On the other hand Eun Ji Hae was still staring fixedly at the girl. Highlight his eyes were sharp, as if he was demanding an answer from the girl standing in front of him.
“Alright,” reply Nhea.
Nhea was immediately taken to Eun Ji Hae's room which was not far from there. Actually, the room does not have Eun Ji Hae alone. She shared a room to work with Aunt Ga Eun. But the woman returned to her room. There's nobody there. They can speak four eyes. Eun Ji Hae thinks it's safe enough for both of them.
Eun Ji Hae circulated her gaze throughout the entire room. Make sure there's nobody there but the two of them. The current condition of the corridor is indeed far from the word crowded. But that doesn't mean it's impossible if someone is trying to spy on them.
‘KRIETTT!!’
The door creaked as Eun Ji Hae pulled the handle of the door. His voice was quite loud in a place like this. Very unfriendly to their eardrums.
The two girls sat down at the previously provided place. They don't even care about curfew rules. It was past midnight, but they had not even returned to the room. Oliver must be looking for him. They're roommates. So, Oliver was the first to realize that Nhea wasn't in his room.
“You know why I called you here?” ask Eun Ji Hae. As usual, he was not wasting any more time.
Innocently Nhea shook her head slowly. He really does not know what reason Eun Ji Hae had to bring him here. The girl did not explain that one to Nhea at all.
“Have I made any trouble? But what?” his mind in the heart.
Nhea was starting to get nervous. Sometimes he squeezes his own hands to reduce those feelings. It doesn't have much impact, but at least it's starting to wane. It was enough to help Nhea who was in a panic.
Eun Ji Hae rests her head on the back of the chair. His eyes looked straight at the ceiling of this room. He breathed heavily. The burden that was originally on his shoulders also evaporated along with the remnants of the spirit he had today.
“I'm sure if you've heard about rumors circulating lately,” said Eun Ji Hae clearly.
The girl did not change her position at all. He spoke without looking at his sister. Although they do not have blood relations, but in the family lineage both still have relationships as brother and sister.
“I just heard it from my friends. If they don't talk about it, maybe I'll never know.”. Nhea doesn't want to cover up anything anymore.
“Who are the friends you mean?” ask Eun Ji Hae.
“All students at this academy are talking about you,” Nhea said blatantly.
Initially, the girl wanted to tell Eun Ji Hae more specifically. Because actually he heard all the stories clearly from Oliver, Jongdae and Jang Eunbi. Only, Nhea chose to shut up. He won't show you exactly who did it this time. Because Nhea herself doesn't know.
The three of them can get into trouble if Eun Ji Hae finds out about what happened in the corridor earlier. Of course this girl will not give mercy to all of them. Nhea could have done that if she wanted to. But, for a while Nhea was still kind. He will give the three a chance to correct their mistakes.
