7 Chapter-7: Talking with Nam-ra

Even in the drama, she was weird and clever compared to others.

She knew society and didn't have any hope that a rescue team would come to rescue them, unlike others who had hope for a rescue team. Then he moved his chair and turned around to face Nam-ra.

"I'm curious why don't you try calling your parents? I also observed you didn't have much reaction when that boy called the police."

"It's like you have no hope of rescue coming," asked Hiroki touching his chin.

"Why? You ask?" asked Nam-ra tilting her head.

"Because we are students, what is the value of us for them to risk getting here to save us?"

"Even if they know we are alive here, they will not come " said Nam-ra looking calm and logical.

"Well, I agree with that," said Hiroki nodding his head.

"In this situation, if you wait for someone to rescue us, nothing more dumb than that "

"Adults are busy saving themselves, they don't have to help kids who are in danger " said Hiroki looking at others who are making calls with pity.

"Aren't you worried about your parents?" asked Nam-ra with a look of confusion. She didn't see any worry in Hiroki about his parents

"Worry about my parents? No, they are safe in heaven, they are the ones who had to be worried for their son "

"Who is now trapped in this hell hole?" said Hiroki with a smile. He did miss his parents when they died but the two years of working in society made him grow. He knew the law of society that the weak have no right to speak.

Even while he was working he faced many insults and many things. He learned the harsh lesson of society and grew up and is no longer the carefree high school student he once was.

"Sorry for asking about that, " said Nam-ra in an apologetic tone

"Nothing, there is no need to be sorry."

"You have to move on from sad things, you can't always live on your sad future " said Hiroki waving his hand as if motioning not to worry.

"But why did you save me?" asked Nam-ra with a confused face. Isn't it better to escape alone when facing such a situation?

"Why have I saved you? It's simple because you are beautiful "

"If it was a man I would leave him just like I left Su-Hyeok " said Hiroki

"That is the reason?" asked Nam-ra with a face of disbelief.

"Just because I'm beautiful".

"Yes, is there another reason needed to save a beauty in distress," said Hiroki with a smile.

"You are weird," said Nam-ra with a smile, as she felt he was different from others because he was almost the same age as them but more mature than them.

"Wow, it's the first time I saw you smile, I have to say you are beautiful and comparable to top models "

"You should smile more," said Hiroki

Nam-ra who heard this stopped smiling and turned her head away in embarrassment, then stopped smiling and again her face became expressionless.

"Again making that face, like the whole world owes you a debt "

Hearing that Nam-ra had an angry expression on her face,

"Sigh, that is why dealing with girls is hard?, they can't accept truths "

"Didn't anyone tell you you would not be popular with girls like this?" asked Nam-ra

"Well many girls who tried to woo me because of my face said this "

"But you can't change someone's behaviour or way of talking just because others didn't like it right?" said Hiroki

"Your thinking is mature compared to others," asked Nam-ra. She could see that even though Hiroki looked the same age as them his thinking was different.

"You will mature fast when you alone enter society. It will force you to think maturely otherwise you can't survive in this world " said Hiroki with a calm expression.

"It feels like you had a story of your own," said Nam-ra as she saw Hiroki's calm face.

"Everyone has their own story, like me, you and others."

"Some stories may be colourful, some may be dark, some may be like white and dark mixed with many stories " said Hiroki thinking about his life before his parents' death. It was colourful like others but after his parents left he was faced was much dark.

"Hmmmm" nodded Nam-ra as if agreeing with him.

"So I have a question?" asked Nam-ra

"You still have questions? Don't you think you are asking a stranger too many questions?"

"The first time you met you called me weird, but you are also weird " said Hiroki with a funny smile.

"I get that a lot," said Nam-ra. She heard it many times when her classmates called her because of how calm she was, no matter how many times others talked bad things about her.

"Well sure enough you are not normal, well you can ask the questions you want to ask?" said Hiroki. He felt interested in talking to this girl. She is different from your normal high school girls whose brain is filled with love.
