The Return of the Cool Trick Lady (Part 2)

After class, Yura and Siwoo went straight to where Jady was sitting, in a corner in the hallway, reading the newly released Power Craters volume. "Power Craters Volume 38," Siwoo checked the book. Seeing it was the book they were looking for, he begged her to hand over the book.

"Alright," Jady simply laughed. She gave the book to Siwoo, and he huddled close to Yura in the corner with a flashlight. Jady stood up. "I'll leave the Closet Otaku Couple alone." Of course. She never paid attention in gossip about how Siwoo was obsessed with some soccer anime. Or anime in general. Jady also doesn't really talk to Siwoo that much to the point where he rambles on and on about how awesomely they animated some scene from Effectively Yours Forever.

So, while Yura was blushing at the sudden word 'couple,' Siwoo was surprised because his misunderstanding of the situation. "Wow, Yura! You got a boyfriend that's a closet otaku? Introduce me to him one time, okay? I really need more friends that understand my love for-"

"No, Siwoo, I don't have a boyfriend," she shook her head.

Siwoo was trying to figure out what Jady was talking about. "Hmm, I should ask her what that was all about. But I don't really talk to her a lot."

Yura then had an idea. "Then... just ask Harin and Seungjin. They're good at figuring stuff out. Those people you're always with... Let's read this there too. I'll just say that you really wanted to read it with me."

"Alright!" Siwoo got up and took Yura's hand. "We don't have time to waste! Lunch doesn't last forever, you know." They ran over to the cafeteria together and sat over at the table Harin and Seungjin were at. Of course, like always, Seri was sitting with them too.

Seri waved at Siwoo. "Hey, what's up? And I don't think I've met you!"

Yura smiled at Seri. "I'm Yura. Anyway, we came here to ask you guys a question."

Harin was curious. "Ask away!"

"So, when a friend let us borrow the book, she said that she would 'leave the Closet Otaku Couple' alone," Siwoo explained the situation. "But, I don't understand why. Perhaps you told her about this boyfriend that was a closet otaku and she saw a ghost that resembled the description you had?"

Harin, Seungjin, and Seri were about to facepalm. "Which friend was this?" Seungjin asked.

"Jady," Yura said. "Also, I never told her about a boyfriend."

"Ohhh..." they realized the situation. "I see..."

Siwoo was still confused. "What is it?"

Harin was about to blurt it out, but Seri shook her head. "Let him figure this out himself. We have to see how this is going."

"Alrighty then," Siwoo started thinking about it while they were reading the volume. And for the entire lunch, Harin, Seungjin, and Seri were just staring at the two reading.

After school, Siwoo walked with Yura to return the book to Jady. They waited outside her classroom and chatted for a bit, and when Jady came out, they gave it back to her with the book covered with a cover for a study guide. They went out together to actually buy the book.

They passed the bookstore and heard two children talking loudly in the back alley. "Wow! You're that super duper famous YouTuber! Everyone was talking about you-" the little girl was so amazed, but she was interrupted.

Suspicious about the situation, Siwoo and Yura agreed to go hide and watch them. Yura's eyes widened. "Seah and Jaegyung..."

Siwoo covered her mouth. "Shh..." he whispered. Understanding the situation, they stayed quiet. And, suddenly, the familiar figure took the two children by the hand.

In that moment both Siwoo and Yura ran out of their hiding spot. Yura screamed, "Seah! Jaegyung! It's me!"

"Big sis!" they both yelled out. 

The ghost attacked Siwoo and Yura, but that didn't stop them from trying to run after the kidnapper. After all, Yura was particularly very close to the children and Siwoo could not ignore a young child in grave danger with a ghost.

Siwoo didn't waste any time and summoned the Butterfly Ghost, while Yura, who was willing to do anything for Seah and Jaegyung, grabbed them by the hand, and kicked the mysterious ghost. Protecting them with herself, she ran as fast as she could to the bookstore.

Realizing she forgot about Siwoo's safety, she kneeled down to the same level as the young children. "Stay here, guys. No matter what."

"Big sis," Seah smiled at Yura brightly. "It's okay if you need to go back to your boyfriend! You gotta protect each other, especially in times like these!"

Yura shook her head. "He's not my boyfriend, but we do have to protect each other. We need to be safe." She ran back to where the battle was.

"That girl..." the ghost was enraged, and let out an attack directed at Yura. "She insulted my power and took the children away from me! For that she will pay!"

Yura did not know how to block ghosts attacks. She may have shown excellent skills when it came to hapkido, but that was useless. Thankfully, Siwoo pulled her away from the attack. "Hey, what were you thinking?"

The power blew into the wall of an abandoned building, and the Butterfly Ghost attacked the ghost, weakening the mysterious ghost, and she immediately gave up.

"I'm sorry..." she looked at the blue sky. "I just... missed all my fans... I don't know what happened..."

The ghost's soul came into Siwoo's possession. He planned on asking Shinbi later about the ghost. Meanwhile, they went back into the light where the sun in the clear sky shined. Seah stopped the video recording and ran into Harin. "Oh! Hi, Big Sis Harin! Are you going to buy us smoothies again?"

"Yeah, totally! Since I have time," Harin smiled at them. "But, what were you just recording?"

Seah showed her the video of Siwoo pulling Yura into his arms. Seeing him being so romantic, Harin burst out laughing. Siwoo took the phone from Harin, and saw the video (obviously recorded using night mode, he was pretty sure).

"Huh?!" Yura saw the video clip. "Seah, don't take videos of other people without permission!"

"Sorry!" she laughed, and ran off with Jaegyung. "Let's buy those smoothies now, Sis!"

"Okay!" Harin waved in Siwoo's direction. "See you!"
