NOVEL WEB Chapter 380: We Are Quite Similar
Das shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then just book a cab or something"
"..."
"What's wrong?"
'He just wants to run away from me. But I won't let him'
"I don't have any money on me", Said Elena.
"I don't mean cash. Use your wallet"
"I don't have any money there either"
"Bank accounts?"
Elena shook her head and said, "Nothing there"
"Uhh… coupons?"
"No"
Das' face twitched as he said, "How is that even possible?! Do you live in a cave or something?!"
"Umm, actually, I just got a new phone yesterday. So I have to set everything up"
Das furrowed his eyebrows and said, "Do you think I am some kind of idiot like you?"
Elena shook her head violently and said, "I usually go with Virza, so I don't need any money"
"Virza?"
"That girl who came when we entered the room.
"Oh. Well, whatever, I am going. Bye"
Das started walking towards the gate.
"Hey! Wait!"
Das turned back and said, "What?"
"How can you leave me alone here?"
"How you ask? I just did"
'This boy is so…. Weird. Does he not have any affection towards anyone?'
Das sighed and said, "Fine, I will book a cab for you"
'Wait, no! If he does that…'
"I don't want to go in a cab"
"Why not?"
"How can you let a girl go in the cab alone?"
"What's wrong with that?"
"I am not comfortable with cabs"
"Oh? You are worried someone might…" He sighed and said, "I will book one with a female driver"
'This boy is an idiot!'
"I have motion sickness", proclaimed Elena.
Das groaned as he turned back and said, "Then die here. I am going"
"Wait!"
"I am not waiting!"
"I saved your life, how can you leave me alone like this? How can you do that to your savior?"
Das stopped and turned around as he said, "Is this how you are going to play it? Fine, I will give you the money. Tell me your account number. I will transfer the money"
"I don't need any money"
"Then what do you want?"
"Just drop me off at my house"
"..."
"Please"
"..."
"As a favor for saving your life. We will be even after that"
"I don't have any vehicles with me"
"I just said I have motion sickness!"
"Wait", Das scoffed and said, "So you are saying you want me to carry you all the way to your home?"
"No, no," Elena's face flushed as she said, "I can walk. You just have to walk beside me as a support"
Das stared at Elena while thinking, 'What if she attacks me out of nowhere?'
He then looked at her face and thought, 'But I don't think an idiot like her can do that'
He took a deep breath and said, "Fine. But I will walk fast. I don't care if your leg is injured or not, if you walk slowly, I will leave you behind"
Elena smiled and said, "Okay"
"..."
'Why does she look happy? This girl is… weird'
They started walking and passed the school gate.
'Yes, yes, yes!'
Elena was jumping with joy from inside.
'I don't know why am I this happy. But I feel like I just got an SSR item in a game'
As they were walking, Das asked, "Where do you live?"
'What should I do? If I tell him where do I live, then he will take me home straight'
"Just walk with me. I will show the direction as we walk"
"..."
'I need to be alert. Even if she is an idiot, I can't let my guard down'
Das sighed inwardly as she thought of what happened today.
'Today was the worst day of my life. And it's all because of this girl'
Das glared at her as he thought, 'Maybe I should kill her? But… she saved my life. I don't want to kill her before I repay her favor. And besides, I don't think this girl can do anything to me'
As Das was pondering on what he should do, Elena grabbed his arm.
Das jolted as he said, "What the hell are you doing?"
"I can fall down"
"I don't care!", He tried to break free from Elena's grip as he said, "Let go"
"If I fall down, then everyone will laugh at me"
"I don't give a fuck about what they do"
"They will see my skirt and…"
'What is wrong with this girl? She is annoying me through hell. I have never been this angry in my life, but why do I… why do I… don't want to shrug her off?'
'I can easily just push her back, but… why is my body not acting like how I want?'
Realizing Das won't push her off, Elena tied her grip and pushed his hand against her breasts.
'What am I doing?! Why am I pressing my breast against the hand of the boy I just met?! What if he thinks I am that type of girl?'
Elena gulped as he thought, 'I am acting too bold. I did that in the heat of the moment, but I am so embarrassed right now. What should I do? If I let go of his hand now, he will find it weird'
Elena intensely stared at Das as they walked.
'He is not saying anything. What is he thinking?'
'What's with this girl? What is she trying to do? Her breasts are so small that I can't even feel them. Wait! Could it be that she is trying to seduce me?'
'I know this type of girl. First, they act as a damsel in distress and then take advantage of the situation. Then they blackmail if it doesn't go as they want'
Das sharpened his gaze at Elena and thought, 'If she tries to pull any weird move, I will kill her'
Elena was worried about what Das is thinking of what she is doing. And Das was worried about what she was trying to do.
'What's with this silence? There won't be any meaning of doing home together if we stay silent. I will do something'
"You know", Elena looked up at Das and said, "We are quite similar"
All the colors faded from his face as he said, "Do you even hear what you are saying?"
"I said we are quite similar"
"In what way?!"
"Like we both have black hair and blue eyes"
'My eyes are green, not blue!'
Das cleared his throat and said, "Don't compare yourself with me. It's an insult"
"How?"
"An idiot like you, comparing me with themselves, is surely an insult"
"Hmm" Elena bit her lips and said, "But I didn't compare us that way. There are many aspects and various ways of comparing, and I was comparing us on our appearance"
"...."
'Why does she always have a comeback for all my comments and insults?'
Trying to ignore the topic, Das said, "How far is your house?"
"It's around the two blocks"
'Finally. I am going to be freed from her and her bullshit'
'Her face is annoying. Her smile is also annoying. Everything she says is annoying. Everything she does is annoying'
"By the way" Elena squinted her eyes as she looked up at Das.
"What is it now?"
"Earlier when you were talking on the phone with someone, you said you are married and have a kid"
"..."
"What do you mean by that?"
'I hate people like her who just interfere in someone else's matters'
"It has nothing to do with you. Now shut up and walk faster", said Das.
"How can a high school boy have a wife and a kid?"
'Just shut up!'
"Could it be that you are having an affair with someone?"
'Wow. Now she is making her own theories'
"Yes, That's right. I have four wives and ten kids"
Elena giggled and said, "You are funny sometimes"
Das raised his eyebrows and said, "What's funny about this?"
"There is no way what you just said is possible"
"Why not?"
"Because a man can't marry more than one woman"
'But we royals can', Das scoffed and thought, 'Not like I am going to fall in love with any girl'
"Come on, just tell already. Why did you say that you have a wife and a kid?"
"Why are you so damn curious?"
"It's interesting"
"..."
"You know, the way you act is so suspicious. You act like you are some kind of criminals who doesn't want anyone to know"
"..."
'How does she know?! Is she really bluffing and guessing here? Or she knows and is trying to make me nervous?'
"Hmm?"
Das glanced at Elena and thought, 'She said her parents are lawyers. Maybe it's in her blood? But why is she such an idiot?'
"Actually", Das shrugged his shoulders and said, "I am secretly thirty years old, and I am just acting as a high school boy"
Elena stared at Das as she squinted her eyes and said, "You don't look thirty years old. You look thirteen"
Das shrugged Elena's hand off and yelled, "What the hell did you just say?!"
"You look thirteen"
"I am clearly taller than you here. How the fuck do I look thirteen"
Elena forced a smile and said, "Why are you so angry? I just passed a joke"
"Well, it wasn't funny!"
"You passed a joke and said you are thirty, so I also passed a joke and said you are thirteen. Did you get the pun?"
Das sighed and said, "It was so lame"
"Well, sorry. I didn't know you will get this angry"
"You better be. And don't you dare pass a joke like this again"
Das dropped Elena at the entrance of her block and rushed his way home.
"I am home,"
"Welcome… ouh~! What's wrong?"
"Nothing. Today was the worst day of my life"
"Are you sure?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean" Angela was holding the mirror, she turned the mirror to Das and said, "You are smiling. You look happy"
