A New Member?
"It wasn't a big deal, But do you mind if I eat together with you all? I don't really feel like eating with others since they are all staring at me," The woman laughed dryly because she was the center of attention as the first one to buy the food with coins.
"I don't really mind how about you all?" Haru looked at the others and they didn't seem bothered by it. but it really warmed their heart that Haru asked them if they were comfortable with another's presence because from what Haru had done till now it wouldn't be weird if he just did things without even asking them.
"So...You going to eat or just stand there?" Haru looked at Jung-hyeok who still hasn't moved, he was acting like an onlooker.
"If you were to use your illusion there I would've killed you," Jun-hyeok said plainly about what he planned before.
Haru's group was dead silent they didn't understand where this came from even the woman who was about to sit down nearly dropped her lunchbox at Jung-hyeok's words.
"Are you sure you can?" Haru asked while raising his eyebrow.
"Yes, I know the limitations of your ability since you so foolishly stated them before in my presence," Jung-hyeok said while looking at Haru.
"Are you sure that what I said was true? Maybe I said it on purpose since I knew you were hearing, What if I wanted to feed you with the wrong information?" Haru spoke while looking at Jung-hyeok.
"..." Haru and Jung-hyeok looked at each other as the air felt a little tense.
A little while later Jung-hyeok turned around and started walking away at a steady pace.
"Is that all you wanted to talk about?" Haru asked as his voice reached Jung-hyeok making the latter stop for a bit before he started walking again without looking back.
"Well, let's eat now," Haru said with a bright smile.
"You change gears quickly," The woman said while looking at Haru because it didn't seem like he was faking it from the way the group reacted with smiles as well. Myung-oh was off to god knows where and the others were slowly eating the food in silence.
"Being serious is quite hard, My face feels stiff," Haru said with a sigh.

"I totally get it, but sometimes being serious is also important," The woman nodded while speaking.
"I know that miss," Haru said with a small smile.
"My name's Jung Hee-won, Call me Hee-won alright Haru?" The woman said with a smile.
"Sure thing Hee-won," Haru nodded since his name was probably known by everyone on the station for now which was intentional on his part.
"I'll have another one," Gil-young asked for another lunchbox, it seemed he was quite hungry because he didn't have anything in the afternoon.
As everyone ate Hee-woon acquainted herself with the group while talking with Sang-ah and Hyun-sung, she also tried to talk to Queresha but she barely responded with a few words.
And as everyone was talking the people from the platform started to come one by one to buy the lunchboxes from Haru.
At first they were on guard but after seeing Hee-won buy it and eat it without any problems, Haru's group who seemed very friendly unlike In-ho's group a few people came forward and that increased.
"You really sold out the lunchboxes and juice," Hee-won said while looking at three empty bags.
"Well, I am surprised as well," Haru shrugged as he sat down taking the bottle of apple juice from Queresha.
"It must be because everyone trusted you Haru-ssi," Hyun-sung spoke with a happy expression while looking around to see kids and the elderly eating their fill.
"I won't say that, it is just that I had what they needed," Haru said while drinking his juice.
"I am surprised they complied like this, I was half expecting there to be a fight or something," Hee-won said bluntly as her voice was definitely heard by others as well but she didn't seem to care about it.
"It is because I was the one doing the work, how can you fight with someone as likable as me?" Haru said with a smug look, it was as if he was saying that I am so good-looking that it can stop conflicts with just standing there.
And it was true, Haru's appearance calmed down 60% of the people which consisted of women, children, and the elderly. The men were also intimidated by him and didn't cause trouble, So there was no way they could deny this narcissist even if they wanted to.
"I was also shocked to find out that they were only giving about 2 packets of biscuits for a day, it would be very difficult for people if that happened, especially the kids and the elderly would have a hard time," Sang-ah said while looking around, but it wasn't like she could change anything.
"What happened Gil-young? You want some juice?" Haru asked Gil-young who walked in front of him but the kid wordlessly pushed his index finger forward.
"For the food," Gil-young said and Haru smiled before he accepted the coins which were 40.
"Why are you giving me 10 extra?" Haru asked.
"Advance for the orange juice," Gil-young said while picking up a juice bottle from the bag.
"What a sensible kid," Hee-won laughed while looking at Gil-young.
"Ah," Seeing Gil-young, Sang-ah and Hyun-sung remembered they haven't given coins to Haru for the food. Even if Haru never asked for it that was to be expected because of how he was. The two couldn't help but turn a little red from embarrassment since they were reminded of it by the youngest in the group.
So after Sang-ah, Hyun-sung, and the old lady gave coins to Haru they were all sitting down.
"Oh the crowd is gone," Nam-woon who just came back from the toilet said while looking around.
"Also here are the coins for the food, I bet I am the first one," Nam-woon said while looking smug.
"Nope you're the last one," Haru said plainly.
"Wha?" Nam-woon looked at the group and everyone nodded.
"Well, I had to go to the toilet," Nam-woon muttered as he sat down sulking a little. The others didn't understand why it mattered but chose not to say anything.
"Also Hee-won are you alone?" Haru asked.
"Ah, yes, I don't really have a group. I can go away if I am bothering you?" Hee-won said, it made sense if he thought of her as an informant since he just butted heads with In-ho, so it can be possible for in-ho to send someone to spy on the group.
It might seem paranoid but that is pretty normal considering the current state.
"It isn't about that, I was just curious since I didn't see you with a group. I don't really mind you being around," Haru said.
"Oh! Have you perhaps taken a liking to me? You may be my type but I am not easy you know," Hee-won spoke with a smirk.
"Nothing of the sort," Haru waved his hand.
"Don't deny it that quickly damn you," Hee-won sulked while Haru laughed. Others in the group were smiling seeing the two act like that.
"Ah, Sorry Queresha," Hee-won suddenly noticed Queresha's stare and apologized only getting a short nod.
'Even though I was playing along with Haru's plan to lighten the mood up, I should be more careful with his lover sitting right next to him,' Hee-won thought as she felt a little awkward. But she could see that Haru was a good leader from his actions till now.
"Haru you kept some food for backup right?" Hee-won asked as she suddenly remembered.
"Yes, we have instant noodles and biscuits," Haru said while pointing at one of the remaining bags.
"... Sang-ah you said we can trust him," Hee-won was dumbfounded and shook Sang-ah who could only smile wryly.
"We will be going outside to get more food anyway so pipe down, And Ahjussi that was stupid, How are we supposed to eat instant noodles without hot water?" Nam-woon said shaking his head.
"Heh, you underestimate me," Haru smirked as he took out a portable butane stove along with a kettle from the plastic bag.
"God.....God has descended," Hee-won and Nam-woon were on their knees in front of Haru praying.
Hyun-sung looked happy as well while Sang-ah was looking around to see how many people were looking at them.
Their group was already under attention before but now everyone was looking at them even more because of the three's antics.
