World Rank 0, Please Stop! - Chapter 95

After Sung Ji Chan left, I sat alone on the bench, mulling over the conversation we had.

〈If the dream I had was about something that really happened, Jin Hae Yul must have been greatly frustrated.〉

Well, of course. If a kid who played the piano hurt his hand, he would have felt like he lost the whole world.

〈But how did such a thing happen? There’s no way he would have let his hand get hurt.〉

I recalled the scene I saw in my dream when I was hospitalized. Jin Hae Yul, who was hit by a car instead of Sung Ji Chan. In the dream, he threw himself to save his friend.

Even if he knew his future would be completely ruined by it, could Jin Hae Yul still have done that?

‘Who knows.’

I don’t know how deep the friendship of the Three Musketeers… no, the Four Heavenly Kings was, but that would never be an easy thing to do.

I sighed and got up from the bench.

‘Well, I think I roughly know why the emotional rift occurred.’

At first, he would have thought he did well since he saved his friend, but after finding out that he hurt his hand because of it, he must have had complicated feelings. He couldn’t look at Sung Ji Chan with only good eyes like before. Maybe he even regretted saving him.

Then, the friendship would have gradually cracked as well.

Well, this is just speculation though.

‘But wait, didn’t Jin Hae Yul die from that incident?’

Recalling what Sung Ji Chan said earlier, it seems Jin Hae Yul only hurt his hand, not that his life was in danger. If it was a critical situation, he would have mentioned that first.

‘Then there’s a high probability he’s still alive somewhere now?’

Hmm. I don’t know if this is good or bad. For now, I guess it can be seen as good news? Since it means he’s alive anyway.

‘If so, it would be nice if I could meet him in person.’

So we could have a happy ending or whatever.

While I was thinking that, a blue window suddenly popped up in front of me.

[Lee Ju Eun! >ㅁ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]ㅁ]]]]]ㅁ< It's finally your first quest!]

Come to think of it, it's really funny. That this is the first.

After possessing, all sorts of things happened, but I resolutely didn't do any quests until now, which is really amazing even to me.

[Then I'll cheer hard for you, Lee Ju Eun!]

Leaving those words, the system disappeared again without a trace. By the way, it's always amazing no matter when I see it. A system window.

'Alright, let's just go back to the class.'

I shook off all the idle thoughts and headed to the stadium stands.

[This is the timeline separator]

The only ones left in the stands were a few kids from our class and Seon Woo Jin.

I approached Seon Woo Jin right away and asked.

"Where are the others?"

"They went to the game."

Seeing that Yoo Hee Na wasn't there, she must have gone with them. She fulfilled her wish, so she must be happy.

"Why are you here?"

"I was waiting for you."

"Ah… I see."

I answered and sat next to Seon Woo Jin.

There was a brief silence. The noise coming from the field fortunately hid the awkwardness.

The first to speak was Seon Woo Jin.

"I'm going to the game later."

"Huh?"

I asked back in surprise.

"Game? You?"

Seon Woo Jin raised an eyebrow.

"Is there a problem with me going?"

"No, you said last time you weren't going."

"I'm going as a substitute."

Seon Woo Jin raised his hand and pointed to where his class was gathered. A boy had an ice pack on his leg.

"He said he got hurt and asked me to go instead. I talked about it earlier."

"Earlier?"

The girl talking with Seon Woo Jin earlier came to my mind. Ah, so that's what it was. My blocked up insides felt refreshingly cleared, as if they had been unblocked.

I asked excitedly for some reason.

"What game are you going to?"

"Soccer."

It was an unexpected sport. No, maybe not that unexpected.

Come to think of it, no matter what sport it was, I would have thought it didn't suit Seon Woo Jin. Sweaty, passionate sports and Seon Woo Jin. It's a really mismatched combination, but I was looking forward to it.

As if he had stayed to say that, Seon Woo Jin stood up from his seat as soon as he finished speaking.

"Come watch later."

And he disappeared without even hearing my answer.

"He just says what he wants and leaves…"

I watched his back, then turned my head back towards the field. Yoo Hee Na was sparkling under the shining sun.
