OMH Chapter 66

Oh My Hero – Episode 66

66. Guide (11)

Ding-

The table bell rang with a clear and cheerful sound.

‘Hehe, I pressed it first.’

With outstanding reflexes, I rang the bell faster than anyone else, but the atmosphere around me was strange.

‘I clearly stole their chance, but why isn’t anyone disappointed?’

Puzzled, I looked at the people sitting in a circle around the table bell.

Everyone had a pleasant expression.

“It wasn’t the right timing to ring it~ Pass a card to everyone around you.”

Kim Sanghyuk said to me with a beaming smile.

His overly excited appearance was irritating.

So, I didn’t obey him and argued.

“Why should I pass out cards? The same picture came up! Aren’t you supposed to ring the bell if you flip it over and the same thing comes up?”

“Oh, that’s not how it works. Is this Hwatu? A game of finding the same picture?”

Kim Sanghyuk sneered and took my card. I was angry that I couldn’t retort because I still didn’t know the rules.

Still, I diligently followed the rules and distributed my cards one by one to everyone around me.

After distributing them all, only two cards remained.

I looked down at my share of the cards placed in front of me with a heavy heart.

‘This is a game where you lose if you lose all your cards, right.’

However, as soon as it was my turn, I was in danger of losing.

And there were still four people left after me.

“Me! Now it’s my turn!”

Cha Wooreen, who was next in line after me, shouted excitedly.

The little one flipped over a card in front of her and rang the bell even though no matching picture came up.

Ding-

‘What? What are the rules?’

I was offended that Cha Wooreen knew the game rules that I didn’t.

“Hmm, Wooreen.”

“Yes?”

“It’s not the time to ring the bell. You have to give a card to people like your brother.”

Never mind. Cha Wooreen wasn’t any different from me.

Cha Woojin stuck next to Cha Wooreen and distributed cards to the people.

Thanks to that, I was fortunate to get one more card.

However, Cha Wooreen didn’t like this situation and became annoyed with Woojin.

“That’s mine~! Why did you give mine away? Bring it back!”

Lee Hwayoung started talking to Cha Wooreen, who was about to hit Woojin.

“It’s the rules, Wooreen~ If you keep hitting him, your brother will get hurt. Stop it, okay?”

When Lee Hwayoung started nagging from the side, Cha Wooreen started hitting Lee Hwayoung too.

“I told you to say ‘Ding’ here! Why are you taking mine away!”

“Ah, it hurts! She hits really hard?! Someone help me!”

Lee Hwayoung, who had been beaten by Cha Wooreen, asked Woojin for help.

Woojin, whose heart was as soft as silk, of course helped Lee Hwayoung.

“Cha Wooreen! I told you not to hit other people!”

“You took mine away!”

Woojin scolded her quite sternly, but Cha Wooreen wasn’t discouraged. Woojin hugged and soothed Cha Wooreen, who was rather angry at him.

“I’m sorry I didn’t teach you the game rules properly. Watch what your brother does.”

Woojin, who was next in line, proceeded with the game while holding Cha Wooreen.

“Like you did, you flip over a card like this when it’s your turn. What’s drawn on the card your brother flipped over?”

“Apple.”

“You can see the pictures on the other cards over there. Wooreen, you know how to count numbers now, right? How many apples are there?”

“Uh, one, two, three, four, five, six!”

“Well done, Wooreen is smart. There are six apples. So you don’t ring the bell.”

“Then when do you do it?”

“You only press it when there are five of the same picture. If you ring it when there aren’t five, you have to give a card. That’s the rule. Got it?”

Woojin explained the rules in a gentle voice and comforted the child. After listening to Woojin’s explanation, Cha Wooreen became quiet.

Well, if you listen to Woojin’s moderately low and soft voice, even a rampaging monster would become quiet. It was so sweet that just explaining the game rules was as beautiful as reciting a poem.

In addition, thanks to the calm explanation, Cha Wooreen seemed to understand the game rules well and no longer acted violently.

Thanks to Woojin, peace had arrived, but there was someone who expressed dissatisfaction with this peace.

“Aww~ Woojin! How can you tell everyone this publicly~ It was supposed to be an observation test. Gang Hana knows everything now.”

“…You should have taught them this before starting the game.”

“Don’t you think you have to play unfair games sometimes to learn about life~ Haha!”

Woojin frowned at Kim Sanghyuk’s crazy sound.

‘What’s so special about this game that you don’t even want to teach a child the rules.’

I also frowned at Kim Sanghyuk’s nonsense.

Okay, so you want an unfair game, huh? Then I’ll let you enjoy it to your heart’s content.

*

When Kim Sanghyuk flipped over a card, a lemon picture was revealed. There were exactly five of them.

Kim Sanghyuk and most of the people reached out towards the bell.

However, none of them could be my opponent.

Slap-

“Ouch!”

Whack-

“Argh!”

Whack!!

“Ugh!”

I pretended to reach for the bell and lightly hit the hands of the people aiming for the bell.

In particular, I hit Kim Sanghyuk, who was strong, a little harder.

While I was preventing anyone from ringing the bell like this, a hand with a perfect sculptural form like a marble sculpture rang the bell.

Ding-

It was Woojin.

Even in the chaos where everyone was groaning in pain with their hands hit by me, Woojin collected the cards with a noble look.

As Woojin seized the victory with the grace of a egret swimming smoothly on a lake, people around me booed at me.

“Hey, what are you doing! Do you know what fair play is? That’s cheating!”

“Hit the bell, not people!”

Of course, I wasn’t embarrassed by such complaints.

“Don’t be so harsh just because I made a mistake while trying to ring the bell.”

‘From the beginning, you guys started this unfair fight. I’m confident.’

I shrugged my shoulders as I looked at the protesting kids.

Park Haemi glared at me as if she was going to kill me, but I wasn’t scared at all.

Now that I know the game rules, there’s no way I can lose.

Because no one here can keep up with my reflexes and speed.

*

“Argh!”

“Ah, damn, it really stings.”

“I’m just going to give up. I’m not doing it.”

Every time I had a chance to ring the bell, I blocked the other kids.

After blocking them four or five times, Seunghwan, who was quick to grasp the situation, declared his surrender.

But Kim Sanghyuk, who doesn’t know how to give up, was still panting at me.

“Gang Hana, don’t be sneaky and be fair! Is it normal for you to do this to let Woojin win?!”

“Why not? You guys started without even teaching me the rules!”

I didn’t back down and retorted.

While I was arguing with Kim Sanghyuk, someone started clapping.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Lee Hwayoung, who focused our attention by clapping three times, started talking.

“Let’s stop saying things that hurt each other’s feelings and just end the game by saying Woojin won. It’s such an iron wall defense that there’s no way to find a gap. Woojin must feel secure~”

“No, I don’t mean to…….”

“Aww~ You were taking them every time. Since you’re going to be first anyway, do it a little faster.”

Lee Hwayoung pushed Woojin, who was embarrassed. Why is she bothering Woojin! I stepped in between them for Woojin.

“It’s just that Woojin is fast, so I couldn’t stop him, so why are you doing this! Woojin didn’t do anything wrong!”

“…….”

Suddenly, the surroundings became quiet in an instant.

Seunghwan broke through the silence and said.

“Well, okay. Let’s do that. I’ll go now. Sorry for coming without understanding the atmosphere.”

“Lee Hwayoung, let’s go too.”

Haemi followed, grabbed the back of Lee Hwayoung’s neck, and pulled her.

Lee Hwayoung didn’t stop pretending to be calm even while being dragged away by Park Haemi.

“I’ll go now, Woojin~ Let’s meet at the research center tomorrow~ I had fun today, Hana. Next time…….”

Swish-

However, Park Haemi didn’t wait for Lee Hwayoung to finish his greeting.

Two people disappeared in an instant.

Jo Seunghwan, who was the first to say he would leave, scratched the back of his head and opened his mouth.

“Park Haemi doesn’t even say hello. Anyway, today was pretty fun. Sanghyuk’s food was also delicious.”

Seunghwan, who was sensible, said goodbye to us and left in a good mood.

Seunghwan, who is a A-grade Esper, lives on the 12th floor, one floor above. The 11th floor is the residential area for B-grade Espers, but from the 12th floor to the last floor of the building, the 15th floor, is where A-grade Espers live.

Anyway, Seunghwan went up to his room alone.

Now the only guest left was Kim Sanghyuk.

Woojin and I, and Cha Wooreen, all looked at Kim Sanghyuk.

‘Isn’t he leaving?’

Kim Sanghyuk, who felt our gaze, burst into laughter as if embarrassed.

“Hahaha! Why are you looking at me like that? It’s not like you’re seeing my handsome face for the first time~ Shall we play another round of the game?”

“No, I was wondering if you wouldn’t leave in this atmosphere.”

I told Kim Sanghyuk my honest feelings. But Kim Sanghyuk didn’t waver even after hearing this.

“Aww~ It’s right next door, what’s the big deal~ Shall we play another round of Halli Galli?”

Cha Wooreen said to such Kim Sanghyuk.

“I want you to go home, mister.”

“…….”

‘Good job, Cha Wooreen!’

No matter how much it was Kim Sanghyuk, he couldn’t handle Cha Wooreen’s direct way of speaking.

Kim Sanghyuk, who was awkwardly looking down at Cha Wooreen, smiled sheepishly and left the door, saying see you tomorrow.

That way, I finally chased out all the uninvited guests.

Woojin and I, who were looking at the door where everyone had left, turned our heads and looked at each other.

Woojin smiled at me and said.

“It was hectic, wasn’t it?”

I felt like my eyes were momentarily blinded. When he suddenly smiled like that, I thought 100 fluorescent lights were turned on.

I almost lost my mind to Woojin, but I barely came to my senses and answered.

“Hehehe, it was. Everyone must be happy that Woojin is becoming a team leader.”

When Woojin smiled at me, I couldn’t help but smile. How could I not smile when such a beautiful and handsome Woojin was smiling at me? It’s irresistible.

While I was having a good time with Woojin, Cha Wooreen interrupted.

“I want to play more games.”

When I turned my head to Cha Wooreen’s voice, I could still see the cards spread out on the floor.

They just left while playing the card game, and they didn’t even take the cards with them.

We decided to play another round of the game as Cha Wooreen wanted.
