chapter 49
49 – 19. The bad villain leaves -1
Break time comes and the attendees leave. Next is physical education time. During that time, the observers talk to each other and wait for consultation with their homeroom teacher.
Jeobbuk.
But Shinhyeon did not do that. Because time is running out anyway.
“Noah.”
“Uncle? Are you gone yet?”
“Uh. I was almost at the end. I stayed to just look at the faces.”
Noah nodded at the voice calling him. Because as Noah, I can spend a little bit of time with the person I like.
Noah opened her mouth.
“So, whose work are those clothes?”
“Jina.”
“…Oh, she’s really weird too…”
Noah sighed again as he looked at Shinhyeon’s clothes. And looking at Noah like that, he scratched his head.
“Is it that strange?”
“It’s not strange, but it’s a bit weird to wear something like this.”
“I guess so…”
“Ha…But…It’s cool…It’s cool.”
Turning his head, Noah scratched his cheek.
“Thank you for your help earlier…”
I will admit it. It really felt like the main character in a movie. It may be a third-rate melodrama in which the delinquent protagonist is warm only to his woman.
“It’s no big deal, it’s natural.”
“You’re not hurt anywhere, right?”
“Okay. Since I scolded you harshly, I won’t do that again. If you do that again, I’ll definitely tell you.”
Noah nodded at her proud words.
‘It must be true.’
He is a person who rarely lies. You can believe that.
After thinking that, Noah stood up from his seat with a regretful heart.
“I have to go change my clothes.”
“Oh, it was physical education, right?”
“Yes. I need to change quickly and go out. Today is the day to measure physical strength.”
Noah stretched out his body.
“I see. Well, Noah can do it easily.”
“Of course.”
No matter what anyone says, she is a magical girl. I am used to physical activity.
“Then I’ll go.”
“Yes. I see that Tae-hwa’s parents are also there, so I guess I should go there.”
Noah shook her hand at Shinhyeon’s words. After that, she headed to the locker room and started changing her clothes.
“Noah~”
“Taehwa?”
“Didn’t you look really hip today?”
“What’s hip about that? It’s strange.”
“But the model is good.”
“…It was cool.”
I enter the private tent while talking with Taehwa who comes next to me.
I took off my original clothes and changed them into the ones I had prepared for exercise.
“Are you ready?”
“Yes, let’s go.”
“Don’t push yourself too hard. I have to sing later.”
“It’s okay.”
“Ah. I have to sing a song to my uncle and confess in a nice way!”
“I’m not confessing! I decided to wait until I was an adult!”
“…Really!?”
“…It’s nothing. Let’s go quickly.”
I spit out something meaningless.
Noah regretted so much and ran towards her playground.
“Really!? Really!? Are you really going to date me when I grow up!?”
“No!”
“Even though your mouth says that, your body is honest? The corners of your mouth are turned up so much!”
“This…Is because it’s hard…!”
Even while running, Taehwa talked non-stop.
Are you going to date when you grow up or something…
“Why is it so hot again!”
“Because it’s summer now. No… It was the summer when Noah realized her first love.”
“Be quiet…!”
After a painful time both physically and mentally, Noah returned to her dressing room, drenched in sweat.
I could barely shake off Taehwa who was talking non-stop.
‘He doesn’t get tired.’
After she caught her breath, Noah quickly gathered her clothes and planned to go into her private room.
‘It’s music time, so you have to get ready quickly.’
Her song of confession, although not her own, is her first time singing her song in front of others.
An unfamiliar feeling that is both exciting and embarrassing.
In fact, she even wrote a song thinking about her uncle. However, it is too early to bring it up.
‘Just a little more time has passed. Let’s do it then.’
Slap!
Kkiik-
With that decision, Noah opened her treasure chest and…
“…Huh?”
At the same time, he made a sound of confusion.
“Noah? What’s wrong?”
“Tae…Taehwa…”
“…No way!”
“Uh…Nothing…”
Taehwa’s expression became grim.
As much as she was a member of the Seondobu, she was a Taehwa who heard various news.
She said, for example, that something was missing when she came to physical education class.
“Did you look properly…?”
“Yes…I looked for everything…!”
She was nowhere to be found. They had clearly been folded well and placed in the deepest part of the treasure chest.
“I guess I got my underwear stolen…”
Disappeared without a trace.
+++++
[Excuse me. Noah Guardian, I am texting you because I have something urgent to tell you. If you are on campus, could you come to the teacher’s office?]
A text message has arrived. It was a text message from Noah’s homeroom teacher.
‘Urgently?’
What happened all of a sudden? Nothing much happened at the consultation that took place a while ago. All she talked about was Noah and didn’t do anything rude.
Then, did something happen to Noah?
‘I guess I should go.’
Next class: music. I was heading from the music room in anticipation of Noah’s recital, but then turned to the teacher’s office.
When I arrived at the teacher’s office not far away, opened the door and entered, there was Noah’s homeroom teacher.
And.
Noah let out a long sigh, saying “Haa…”
Noah was still in his gym clothes.
Why? It’s almost time to start the next class. You can’t go to class because your gym clothes are soaked in sweat.
Now that I think about it, the mood of the homeroom teacher who is left alone with Noah is also unusual. A frown formed between the eyebrows of a young woman who seemed to have just become a teacher.
I spoke out first.
“Noah, what happened?”
“…Uncle.”
Noah’s sharply frozen expression melts.
Noah comes towards me and hugs me. Her slightly sweet smell of sweat is in the air.
“No…Noah?”
Noah ignores my embarrassment and buries his face. I looked at my homeroom teacher with shaking eyes.
She said while pressing her temple.
“I’m sorry for contacting you about such an unpleasant matter.”
“Unsavory?”
“…I’m a thief.”
A thief?
…Ah.
“It’s so crazy these days…”
“I guess you knew.”
“Yes, I heard it from Noah.”
“Ha…Then the conversation will go faster.”
I nodded and tried to sit down. However, Noah clung to him like a cicada and had no intention of falling off.
The fact that my underwear was stolen probably came as quite a shock –
“hehehe… Uncle’s stomach is hard…”
Isn’t it?
“Noah, you’re not in a good mood, right?”
“Yes… I’m even crying… I can see my clothes getting wet…”
I think it’s spit, not tears.
It’s not that I’m sad, but it seems like they’re using this as an excuse to stick around.
“…”
The way my homeroom teacher looks at me becomes mysterious.
I decided to get rid of Noah quickly. But if you just tell it to fall, it will never do so. It would be better to use that method here.
“Noah.”
“Yes?”
“You smell like sweat.”
“…!”
Slap!
Noah falls away quickly. My face is red.
“Pervert guy…!”
“Why?”
“Did you smell me?”
“No, then don’t stick to it.”
“…Well…I see. It’s my fault.”
The way people look at me is strange. I feel uncomfortable. What is that teacher thinking inside?
I tried to ignore my uncomfortable feelings and looked at Noah.
“Are you okay? Are you…What…Are you wearing that right now?”
“Yes, I’m wearing the separate clothes I brought for gym use. It’s a little wet, but…”
Still, I’m glad I’m wearing it.
But if it turned out like this…
“It must be difficult to give a presentation during music class, right?”
“I guess so.”
He nods his head with a regretful expression.
“I really wanted to release my own song…”
“I can’t help it.”
“I know. I can’t walk around dressed like this.”
Seeing his regretful appearance made me feel feverish.
‘It’s annoying.’
The culprit is probably an optician. It looks like this guy’s kleptomania event happened just now.
‘I thought it would quiet down if I teased it a bit…’
It looks like he’s not quite a crazy kid. Even after being beaten that much, I still have a s*xual desire.
Rotten. I wanted to hear Noah sing.
“Hmm…! Hmm! Anyway, we’re really sorry about this. We need to catch the culprit as soon as possible…”
“No. The guy who stole should lower his head.”
“Thank you for saying so. We will make sure to catch the culprit and severely punish him.”
I suppressed my temper and nodded.
“Yes, please.”
What crime is this teacher guilty of? If there’s any fault, it’s the glasses guy.
“Ugh…Noah, let’s go home.”
“Huh? Am I going home?”
“Then you’ll stay like that all day?”
Noah shakes his head.
Noah had no choice but to go home. Even just to change her clothes.
However, if you calculate the time, it seems that it is not a bad idea to skip it altogether rather than coming and going.
Of course, it is also to make the optical shop more comfortable.
The crime of stealing Noah’s underwear, the crime of destroying her music release. Severe punishment must be imposed, but if Iris gets involved, things will get difficult.
Stella…You’re so weak.
‘Hey…I guess we’ll have to do something later, too.’
I led Noah, sighing in despair.
Just as we were about to go out the front door together, “Uncle!” And Noah spoke to her.
“Why?”
“Please lend me some clothes, so I can see through them!”
“It doesn’t seem to be particularly visible-“
“Please borrow it! I’ll even do the laundry!”
“Okay, okay. Here.”
After handing Noah her clothes, we started moving again.
“hehehe…Your clothes…”
It sounds like Noah is breathing heavily, but let’s ignore it.
Because that’s not what’s important right now.
He doesn’t have much time left to become a real bad guy, not just someone who pretends to be a bad guy.
‘Ahn Gyeong-won, you really fell behind.’
