The people around started to notice and discreetly backed away.
It was then I realized something was terribly wrong.
Yu Hina, who had been sitting on the bench, seemed to notice the unusual situation and stood up.
‘What should I do? Should I run?’
But by the time I made a decision, it was already too late.
“Gotcha!”
A man who had finally reached us grabbed Yu Hina’s arm roughly.
Yu Hina flinched in surprise and struggled.
“What are you doing? Let me go!”
“Hey, grab her! Make sure she can’t move!”
“Hurry, drag her away!”
“Ughhh!”
It was total chaos.
Unknown men were trying to drag Yu Hina away, and she resisted with all her might.
And I…
‘…What?’
Nothing happened.
My brain momentarily stopped functioning due to the confusion, but then I regained my composure and assessed the situation.
First of all, it seemed that the men’s target was Yu Hina.
‘But why?’
At first, I thought it was a simple crime, but upon closer inspection, the men seemed to be about my age.
Oh… this seems like a clichéd situation from a story.
That’s why nobody was paying attention to me.
I’m just an extra.
There’s no need to kidnap an extra…
“Kyaa!”
Wait, this isn’t the time for that!
‘Yu Hina!’
I have to save Yu Hina!
I looked around hastily.
Nobody wanted to make eye contact with me.
…I guess it’s hopeless to expect help.
‘Do I have to do it myself?’
Sadly, I’m not number zero in the world ranking, and it didn’t seem like I could beat those men.
‘Should I call the police?’
Looking around and gauging the situation, luckily, it seemed someone had already reported the disturbance.
Who else can I call for help… Seong Ji-Chan?
Yes, Seong Ji-Chan!
I ambitiously took out my phone.
Surely Seong Ji-Chan would drop everything and come to save Yu Hina. I could contact anyone among the trio of boys. He’s the male lead, so he could handle 17 against 1, right?
But then I realized.
‘I don’t have their numbers!’
At that moment, one of the men stumbled backward and bumped into me.
“Ah! Ah sh**… What the, who is this girl?”
The man spat on the ground and frowned.
“Ah, scared me… What? Are you reporting this?”
Our eyes met.
I swallowed hard.
“…”
“…”
After a moment of standoff, the man suddenly snatched my phone.
No! My phone!
I couldn’t even contact Seong Ji-Chan anyway!
I desperately struggled to get my phone back.
Then the man, annoyed, suddenly threw my phone away.
Hey!
I quickly picked up my phone.
“Grab her too!”
Just then, a shout came from a distance, and both the man and I turned our heads.
Someone else was running towards us from the end of the street.
I was shocked.
“That, that, that, that’s the guy I saw earlier with Seong Ji-Chan! I saw it! They tricked me together earlier!”
It was the crazy guy who had approached me earlier in the day!
‘Why is he here again!’
But before I could react, someone hit me on the head from behind.
Ouch!
Reflexively ducking, someone else violently grabbed my arm.
Shouts were exchanged overhead.
I was completely disoriented.
My head was spinning.
My body was being tossed around.
‘Ah, these guys… they’re really too much…’
At some point, I completely lost consciousness.
On the outskirts of the city, in an abandoned building.
All the tough guys from Hae Seong High School had gathered.
There was a strange tension among the students who were ready for a confrontation.
“Did you contact Seong Ji-Chan? What did he say?”
“He said he’ll be here soon. Told us to be ready and wait.”
“…Arrogant jerk.”
The leader of the group muttered as he received the report.
He then issued orders to his subordinates.
The other men busied themselves, preparing for something.
People were grabbing sticks and warming up with punches into the air, preparing for the upcoming fight.
Sitting quietly in a corner, I pondered.
Why do they leave such buildings abandoned? Is it a courtesy for delinquents?
“You’re spacing out like an idiot!”
Snapped out of my thoughts by the sharp voice, I turned to see Yu Hina glaring and growling at me.
While I was relatively free despite being watched, Yu Hina was bound tightly with something like rope, seated on a chair.
‘Oh, wow.’
I was amazed at this peculiar situation.
I never thought I’d see such a thing in real life. It’s truly like a world from a story…
“Is this the time for that? Aren’t you worried about what these guys might do to you?”
Yu Hina raised her voice, sounding frustrated.
Initially, she looked like she might cry any moment, but now her anger seemed more pronounced.
…Wait, is she angry because of me?
I turned my head again. There were more people than before; it seemed others had joined.
‘Heh… everyone is so dedicated.’
Even on a precious weekend, the Hae Seong High School delinquents didn’t forget their duty (?) and did their best. Beyond absurdity, it was almost admirable.
Yes, I had long since detached myself from all these events.
Frustration is for the first or second time. When such situations repeat, you just accept them as fate.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
