The Best of Tomorrow [ 내일의 으뜸]

Chapter 15

"Ah, you crazy person, pick it up."

"Is that my ball or your ball?"

"You blew it."

Bickering voices were heard from beyond. Soon someone came into the alley. When I came to pick up the ball, I was shocked to see so many people gathered around, so I was shocked for a moment, but then I walked inside. I saw the face of a person who bent down and got up. I made eye contact with a man wearing the hood of a field jumper.

"Uh, uh."

My eyes widened at the familiar face. In the meantime, Seonjae seemed to have forgotten my face and indifferently looked away. No, you can't ignore me like that! Hoping to make eye contact again, she craned her neck and looked at Seon-jae as if asking him to save her.

"uh? "Is it Seonjae?"

The kids who had grim faces just moments ago smiled brightly and looked at Seonjae. Seon-jae, with the soccer ball at his side and his hands in the pockets of his field jumper, said, "Uh, hello." She said, made eye contact with me briefly, and then turned around.

no. If you go that way. If you're not going to save me, at least take the kids here.

"Ryu Seon-jae!"

I shouted urgently. Seonjae, who was leaving the alley, stopped and turned around. With everyone's ears open, I couldn't say things like, "Save me, take me with you," or "Take your friends here, too." She blinked her eyes wide. 'don't go.' And she pursed her lips and made a sad expression.

"Hey, don't you have a ball?"

Baek In-hyeok suddenly came in with his face sticking out, looking quite embarrassed by the unexpected number of people and the situation. He changed the target and sent a rescue signal to Baek In-hyuk. His eyes met.

"uh?"

Baek In-hyuk opened his eyes and pretended to understand. Yes, it's me, get me out of here! As I blinked my eyes and signaled, Baek In-hyuk said, "Oh, that's right, I said we didn't know." He withdrew his gaze, turned on his heel and walked out of the alley.

I was crying and lowering my head, but suddenly my body shook. Someone grabbed the hood of my tteokbokki coat and pulled it out of the corner. When I saw his eyes wide open, Seonjae looked down at me with an indifferent expression.

"A long time."

"uh?"

Then he grabbed the hood and walked.

"Wait, what? "Why are you taking me?"

Seonjae turned around as one of the group grabbed my arm. I pulled on the hood of Seonjae's coat and pulled me away from the child.

"I have some business to attend to her too."

After saying that, Seonjae left the alley without letting go of my hood.

"Thank you."

He even smiled to express his gratitude for saving me, but Seonjae's expression was cold.

"Neither I nor Inhyuk know. "After being cornered alone, did you suddenly want to pretend to know?"

"Oh, me, me? "Well, that's not it."

I stuttered without realizing it. Seonjae made eye contact and then turned his head. As I came out of the alley, I saw Baek In-hyuk eating bungeoppang. Baekhyuk, who saw me being dragged by Seonjae's hand, opened his eyes round with a bungeoppang in his mouth. The sight of him being dragged by Seonjae by his hood looked like someone who had taken Seonjae's money and was caught running away with it.
