Episode 178 Chapter 41: Unreal (2)

Unreal (2)

After that day, the delinquent 'oppa' gang stopped coming to Iwol High School. Naturally, the girls who were acting as delinquents under their influence faded away.

The students, who had been silently enduring the delinquent behavior, cheered for Flame's story.

"......Huh? Me?"

"Yeah! You're amazing. They say your boyfriend took down all the oppas!"

"Ah, no... he's not my boyfriend."

"Really? Anyway, there are lots of witnesses who saw it!"

"Yeah, yeah. I heard the oppas even declared they wouldn't come near Iwol High School again!"

As soon as she arrived at school, Han Choyeon and her friends were making a big fuss.

But there were a lot of questions in her mind.

In that narrow alley, who were all these witnesses? How did the rumor spread so quickly? And how did the delinquents get so scared of just one high schooler?

'What kind of absurd plot is this...'

"Who's your boyfriend? They say he's really cool-looking."

"I heard he's from our school? But no one knows because he was wearing sunglasses!"

"Maybe he doesn't want anyone to know who he is?"

"You guys are crazy..."

Sunglasses or not, he was wearing a name tag, so there's no way he was hiding his identity. The more she listened, the more confused she got.

"He's not my boyfriend..."

"Still, he jumped in to save you, so he must like you, right?"

"I don't know..."

But, well...

Hearing it like this, it wasn't a bad feeling. After all, the boy did help her, and now all the students were praising her.

Feeling a strange sense of happiness, Flame couldn't help but smile.

She felt like the protagonist of the world.

A week passed after that day.

With a heart full of curiosity, Flame searched the school for 'Baek Yuseol,' but he was nowhere to be found.

She even checked the attendance lists of the first and second years, but there wasn't even a similar name.

'Then who was that guy?'

She wanted to thank him for saving her, but he disappeared without a trace.

"Flame, first place again! Congratulations, you ranked first nationwide in this mock exam."

Hearing her name snapped her out of her thoughts.

Standing on the podium was always burdensome, but being first in the school all the time, she was getting used to it.

"Thank you."

As she received her certificate, applause filled the auditorium.

After stepping down from the podium, Han Choyeon patted her shoulder.

"Wow, amazing. How can someone from this crazy school rank first nationwide?"

"Well, I'm just naturally smart. You should stop reading those online novels and study. You're smart too..."

"W-What are you saying! And it's not online novels, it's romance fantasy."

"Same thing."

Seriously, romance fantasy?
