The Law of Webnovels Chapter 118

Chapter 118: Chapter 118
.
“I’m her boyfriend. I’ll take her with me.”
Eun Jiho’s icy cold lips and jet-black eyes that was resembling his characteristically condescending attitude looked heavily subdued than usual.
What Ban Yeo Ryung felt from Eun Jiho during her freshman year in middle school was that overwhelming behavior. No one could cope with that look and the way he talked. Indeed, the boys, who blocked her, soon stepped aside in perplexity.
“Oh… yeah… okay…”
“Let’s go,” Eun Jiho said to Ban Yeo Ryung briefly then strode along in front of her. Choi Yuri, looking at Ban Yeo Ryung’s back, was slowly getting farther away from them. At a distance, Eun Hyung was chatting with Yoo Chun Young, but when their eyes met, he grinned at her. He swept his red hair back and went closer to her.
“Oh, Jiho. Good job. Are you okay, Yeo Ryung?” Kwon Eun Hyung asked to relieve her.
Well, it was already three years since they became closer. They knew how much she struggled with guys. Therefore, they were aware of how much she feared and hated strangers approaching her. Ban Yeo Ryung grew a bit embarrassed as she replied while rubbing her hair.
“Huh? Um… yeah…”
“Good.”
After replying with a soft tone, Kwon Eun Hyung patted her head with his big, warm hand as usual. Eun Jiho’s loud voice then protruded.
“Hey, Ban Yeo Ryung, why can’t you just lie? All you have to do is say, ‘Oopsie~ I have a boyfriend~’ and call any of us.”
“I don’t know. I just can’t.”
“Geez, that’s beyond my power, but thank god you have a friend like me beside you.”
Eun Jiho threw his icy cold face away then showed a vibrant smile at her. His unique, frivolous voice was so funny that Ban Yeo Ryung burst into laughter. A voice suddenly came over from behind her.
“Yeo Ryung, instead of giving yours, why didn’t you just give my number? It’s fine.”
“Really? Can I?”
“If they called my number and found out that it was a guy, then they would be like, ‘Oh, this girl just gave me a random number.’ What’s the big deal about that?”
“I never thought about that. Still, I don’t want to trouble you guys.”
“We’ll just receive a few curses,” as if it was nothing, Woo Jooin said with a shrug.
Seemingly, he looked friendly and courteous, but sometimes, he surprised people by showing his unexpected character.
Woo Jooin and Ban Yeo Ryung were alike on the aspect of giving their full hearts to the people in their circle of friends. However, they would be frighteningly indifferent to those outside the zones. Ban Yeo Ryung stared at him for a moment but soon turned her head to look beside her when someone touched her arm, so was the Four Heavenly Kings.
From her school uniform skirt, the person who handed Ban Yeo Ryung their phone number in a blushing face was indeed a girl. ‘What is going on?’ Ban Yeo Ryung soon felt dizzy and confused. The girl then slowly detached her lips.
“Um… if it’s okay with you, would you please give me your number? I want to be fr… iends with you…”
Ban Yeo Ryung could hardly respond. Instead, she looked at the girl with a complicated gaze. This was such an unexpected situation that she couldn’t figure out what to do. Even the Four Heavenly Kings and Eun Jiho, who was full of resources in an emergency, grew speechless and just watched the situation.
After hesitating for a while, Ban Yeo Ryung carefully picked up her phone.
When it was time to leave the rest area, Ban Yeo Ryung saw Donnie, who was getting on the bus before meeting her eyes. As Ban Yeo Ryung showed a face full of vibrant smile, Donnie also showed a sweet grin at her. She then waved her hand to Yeo Ryung.
When Donnie disappeared from her sight, Ban Yeo Ryung stomped her feet in joy. Although the four boys were staring at her in wonder, she kept smiling for quite a while.
When she returned to the bus with the Four Heavenly Kings, Choi Yuri hadn’t returned yet. Ban Yeo Ryung sent her a message to ask where she was before sitting down. It was, again, Donnie’s face that came across inside her head when she found herself sitting alone.
‘I miss Donnie,’ while she had those thoughts in her head, she heard Eun Jiho, sitting across her, speaking on the phone.
“― Dude, stop sleeping.”
“…?”
Ban Yeo Ryung raised her body a little to lean toward Eun Jiho.
She then asked, “Eun Jiho, who are you talking to?”
“Ham Donnie. Dude, it’s because you’re bored… you’re bored, aren’t you?”
“Me too. Let me speak to Donnie too!”
Ban Yeo Ryung stretched her hand out to him, but Eun Jiho pushed her forehead away. She had never felt this desperate to hear Donnie’s voice, so she stretched her arm out a few more times. Still, Eun Jiho tightly attached the phone to his ear. He didn’t even respond to Ban Yeo Ryung this time.
‘Shoot…’ Ban Yeo Ryung sat on her seat again while pouting. She then stared at her phone with a saddened expression.
‘I also have a phone… I should’ve called her. You looked so happy with other kids, so I didn’t call you… Even if I call you right now, I won’t get connected since you’re on the line with Eun Jiho.’
When she fell into her own thoughts for a while, her phone suddenly vibrated. A text message arrived. ‘Who is it?’ Ban Yeo Ryung then opened her flip phone in wonder. The Four Heavenly Kings was sitting beside her, Donnie was talking to Eun Jiho through the phone, and Ban Yeo Dan wouldn’t use his phone during class hours due to his school’s strict policy.
When she dropped her gaze at the phone screen, her face darkened. As if he noticed that something serious was going on with her, Kwon Eun Hyung, who was sitting beside Eun Jiho while staring at her, lifted his body.
“Yeo Ryung, what’s up?”
Ban Yeo Ryung didn’t respond as she grabbed her phone tightly.

Hey, princess~~ lol you so fu*king high to be treated like a ho? What a slut flirting with all the guys! Yo pretty face bitching all around you whore as fu*k lololol beat the sh*t out of you laughing like a cunt surrounded by boys… Bitch plz fu*k off!!!
She felt her heart pounding a little faster. Looking at the screen, her sight grew so blurry that she slowly closed her eyes.
This wasn’t the first time she faced a thing like this. She heard this kind of sick and tired bullshit since middle school; therefore, it would be odd if she would still cry about these things. Despite all her bad experiences, Ban Yeo Ryung was still heartbroken and felt dizzy after seeing the message.
Every word turned into a dagger and stabbed her deeply. Biting her lips, she heard a cold voice coming in front of her.
“What is this?”
It was Woo Jooin. His voice didn’t reflect any of his usually delightful and positive tones but was severely cold as ice.
Before Ban Yeo Ryung could say something, someone snatched her phone out of her hand. She raised her head. Eun Jiho, who suddenly came closer to her, stared at the screen with a grim face.
His black eyes that were observing the screen thoroughly soon revealed a sneer. He put a twisted smile before pressing the call button before Ban Yeo Ryung could fling a question.
“What are you doing?” she asked out of perplexity.
“Hold on. Hey, who the fu*k do you think you are for sending this kind of bullshit to my phone?”
“Excuse me? Who… who is this?”
The volume of the call was loud enough for Ban Yeo Ryung to hear the voice over the phone. The sound quality wasn’t great, but she could easily notice that the voice belonged to the girl whom she met at the rest area. The girl had an outstandingly unique and robust tone.
Eun Jiho didn’t hesitate to respond immediately. Unlike his usual tone, he spoke aggressively.
“The person who received your retarded text. I own this number.”
“What? Doesn’t it belong to a girl?”
“Are you deaf? You motherfu*king bitch… text me that bullshit again and see what happens. I have your number and your network. Play me again, and I’ll dox your ass. You hear me, bitch? Watch the fu*k out!”
Eun Jiho then pressed the end button before the girl could reply. He walked toward Ban Yeo Ryung, who was blinking in surprise and returned her phone to her before asking in his usually relaxed expression.
“How was it?”
“Eun Jiho, are you okay?”
As if Ban Yeo Ryung wasn’t the only one who became dumbstruck at his aggressive tone, a few kids at the back asked in wonder. Eun Jiho waved his hand in the air like nothing had happened.
“No, nothing. Some stupid kids have found my number. They sent me a load of swears.”
“Oh, I see. You almost freaked me out.”
“Yeah. I had to be aggressive to stop them.”
“Well done.”
The person who said that was Yoo Chun Young, who was asleep during the whole time.
