The Life In a Unknown Novel

What Do You Mean?

We walked through the halls heading to the cafeteria while talking.

"What do you mean its been 3 days since we met?"

"Oh yeah! I forgot you were sick for the past 2 days! How could i forget! Why is my memory crappy."
She puts her two hand on her head being frustrated.

'I was sick?'

We arrived from the cafeteria and Chareum turns her head to us.

"Arent you hungry Seo-yeon? Since its been days, I last said to ignore us. And I was so stupid to say that. Now Its on me. Pick whatever you like Take it as a apology!"
She gives us a thumbs up while winking.

I raised up my hand and said.
"Then I'll take the melon flavored milk please!"

Hayan lifts her hand and said with a serious face.
"10 Pizza rolls!"

"T-Ten!? Are you serious? Do you want me to get broke?"

"You said its on you!"

"My wallet doesn't have infinity money you stupid!"

"Ok then, 15 pizza rolls, take it or leave it."

"Do you want me to go broke over pizza rolls!?"

"Take it or leave it."

"Ill leave it please."

"-!?"

'Fighting over pizza rolls. Out of all the fights they have been making this is the weirdest ones yet.'
"Pfft-"

They turn around and looked at me.

'Why are they giving me weird expressions?'

Chareum looks at me and said slowly.

"Seo-yeon,"

"Yeah?"

"I hope you don't forget that were all...fake."

"What?"

My sight became darker and darker and their faces starts to become darker and darker.

"Seo-yeon!"

"-!?" "Yeah?"

"You must have been tired on how many times Hayan said the word pizza roll"

"What did you say Chareum!?"

"Anyways, take my money and buy something you like! We'll save you a seat and a table and wait for you."

"What about me?"

"You're going to make me broke."

"What?"

I left them arguing endlessly and went to the counter to buy food.

'I should buy melon milk it has good taste and probably has a good job at protecting from the pain- oh yeah I forgot that I won't feel any pain anymore. But I should still buy one because of the taste and to protect myself in advance.'
"Ill take 10 pizza rolls and 1 melon milk."

"Alright."
The blackened character hands me the 10 pizza rolls and the milk melon.

"Thank you, if possible can you use my money for the 10 pizza rolls?"

I look at my hand and realized that i forgot my wallet was left at the classroom.
'I forgot. Should I just take my wallet from the classroom?'

"Please don't worry its on the house."

"What?"

"You wanted to buy the food for Hayan right?"

"Do you perhaps know her?"

"Of course, she's a very nice gurl, she sometimes helps in the cafeteria when she has a time. Please tell her to take this as thanks. Also forgive me for eavesdropping on your conversation."

She gives me the change for the money Chareum gave me and could feel her smile from that blackened face.

"Oh no! its really ok!"
'Why am I acting so nicely? Is this a habit now?'

"Alright then have a good time eating,"

"Of course,"

I bowed in front her to show my gratefulness for her and left.

I walked to the table where Chareum and Hayan were sitting and waved at them.

"Seo-yeon!"
They both shouted my name.

I sit on the seat next to them and showed them the 10 pieces of pizza rolls and 1 melon milk for me.

"Chareum heres the change and Hayan heres the 10 pieces of pizza rolls."

"P-pizza rolls!"

"My money!"

"SEO-YEON!"
They both look at me with tears on thier eyes almost dropping.

"Hey! What are you-"

The approach me and hugged me tightly.

Chareum was looking at me with her yellow eyes.
"Seo-yeon your too nice to be our friend!"

While Hayan was looking at me with her sad brown eyes
"You must have used your money to buy me a pizza roll!"

"No I-"

Chareum takes her arms off me and wipes her almost dropped tears.
"You know what.We'll tell you the truth why we wanted you to ignore us!"

"You dont have to-"
'You dont have to tell me I could just read it from the novel and make it sure.'

"No. We will tell you. And don't worry you won't get involved at this since we already took care of it."

"No, that's not what I-"

Chareum opens her mouth not listening to a word.
"The truth is..."
