We had arrived at the canteen rather early so the line had passed quite quickly. As there weren't too many people, we quickly found a place to sit down. The majority of my class was already seated with their friends. Some were even starting to eat and others were still in line.
Our table was round so we could all see each other. In front of me there were the Min-soo and Min-seo twins, on my left Yon-shi and on my right Haneul. And right next to Yon-shi there was In-soo.
- I was one of those hunger pangs said Yon-shi as he began to devour his food
- That we had noticed said laughing Haneul
- Eat slowly or you will suffocate, warned her laughing In-soo
- Well, that's not all started Min-soo
- but we too will start to eat ends Min-seo
- You are really in sync said Ruby smiling
- Mmh, said Min-seo
- it's usual she finished
- Good appetite they all said to each other
As we were in a canteen we all had a tray. So everyone ate what they had taken.
I wasn't really expecting it, but the canteen is really good. What is also good in this canteen that there is all kinds of dishes suitable for all tastes.
Come to think of it, the system still hasn't appeared, I think what I asked of him is taking longer than expected. Okay, I hope he's okay anyway. I thought while continuing to eat
- But if not Ruby, you know who gave you the "filth" this morning, said Haneul, his eyes filled with worry
- It is true that it is not done at all what they do not do, Yon-shi adds.
- No I have no idea Ruby lied guiltily
- Do you have any idea who would blame you then? Don't quit In-soo
- Not at all continued Ruby still lying with guilt.
- Anyway, it's okay, began Min-seo with knitted eyebrows
- because in all cases we will end up finding the culprit (s) end with determination Min-soo
I didn't want to involve them in my problems. So I preferred to lie. I don't want them to go through what I'm going through. I thought with determined eyes
- Ruby you had time to chat with people in the class suddenly asked Yon-shi changing the conversation
- No not really said Ruby thinking
- Nothing is lost, don't worry, you still have time to get closer to the people in the class, Haneul told him in a comforting tone
- We too on a step began Min-seo
- had time to get along with the people in our class ended Min-soo with a smile
- Same for me but I got some information about people said In-soo with shining eyes
- What info did you find out? Ruby questioned curious
- WE WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING said the rest of the girls in chorus
- You see Jeon-sung said In-soo, his voice shaking from the excitement.
- That's who already said Yon-shi a little lost
- The one who vomited and who then went to the infirmary, he is in our class, explained Haneul to him.
- Oh yes I see said Yon-shi with shining eyes
- Jeo-sang as I said to two childhood friends in the classroom. There's the most horny Young-jae and Chin-gi who's the same age as Jeo-sung. Said In-soo
- I had no idea they were childhood friends, began Min-seo
- If I hadn't been told I would never have thought he would know from childhood ended Min-soo
- You see Eun-jung said Haneul
- The one who always hangs out with said Min-seo
- Aaron and the others there added Min-soo
- In fact Eun-jung is Jeo-sung's cousin finally said Haneul
- I did not know at all said Ruby all astonished
- Same for us said all the girls in chorus except Haneul
- They are quite popular so a lot of girls run after them. But they are all rejected unfortunately said laughing Yon-shi
- They are right in front of us in addition said quickly In-soo while whispering still excited
- Who does that say Haneul with a puzzled expression?
- Aaron and his friends whispered In-soo to him
- That's who started Min-soo
- the friends sitting next to Aaron ends Min-seo
- Personally, I don't remember their name, said Yon-shi with a frown.
Having the memories of this body, I knew by name, a little the people of this school.
- If I'm not mistaken next to Aaron there is Hyun-sun, Yun-jiji and Eun-jung said Ruby deep in thought
- You know them? asked Haneul curiously
- Not really. It's just that I hear a lot of rumors about this quartet said Ruby a little amused
- Indeed, there are a lot of rumors about them, said Min-seo
- they are even nicknamed the "black treffle" ends Min-soo
- Why "black treffle"? asked In-soo perplexed.
- Treffle because there are four of them said Min-seo
- and black is Aaron's hair color ends Min-soo laughing
- Ah ok that's why In-soo said quickly with a smirk
- Besides I heard rumors that Aaron is engaged, added with excitement In-soo
- How do you know? Asked Haneul curiously
- I was told that Bong-Chae had seen Aaron's fiancée in person before. But I don't know at all if it's true, In-soo explained to him, his eyebrows narrowed.
- But Ruby, you know Bong-Chae, don't you? Suddenly asked Yon-shi
- Uh yes why? Ruby succeeds puzzled at the question
- I don't know if you know Min-soo began with hesitation
- but at the moment she sees strange people ends up Min-seo
- It's not started Min-seo worried
- to judge her ends up min-soo she also worried about Ruby's reaction
- What kind of weird person asked Ruby frowning.
- The kind of unfriendly person said Haneul in a hesitant voice.
- People added Min-seo
- quite violent ends Min-soo
- Ok, I'll remember what you told me ruby with a grateful smile
The tension on their faces disappeared in a flash at Ruby's reaction.
They really care about me even though it's not even been a day since it's been really heartwarming for me. Sometimes with a certain person you've just known them for a very short time yet feel like you've known them for so long.
And that's how I felt with these girls. It might be weird for some to let go with people you've recently known, but for me it was natural. I thought with my eyes a little in space and my face downcast
- The girls, the black treffle are right in front of us !!! said Yon-shi in a whisper overexcited
- Huh started Min-seo
- Or that ended Min-soo
- Behind you said Haneul also a little excited
- When we talk about the wolf… said In-soo with shining eyes
I didn't really care what they said. I was immersed in my thoughts.
(From Aaron's side):
We quickly found a place to sit down. Some of my friends had already finished eating while others had not. I had already finished eating. We weren't really at the table very much.
It was just me and my three friends. The youngest and also the cutest of the group Yun-jiji then Hyun-su nicknamed the heartbreaker and finally Eun-jung the oldest of the three.
- Hey, I heard that Jeo-sung threw up said Yun-jiji with his mouth full
- Are you talking about Eun-jung's cousin? Hyun-su asked curiously.
- Yeah, I know my cousin to throw up this morning said Eun-jung with a frown.
- Ha that's your cousin so said Hyun-su
- So your girlfriend Hyun-su said sharply Yun-jiji changing the conversation, smirking
- You don't even have to ask he must have broken up with his girlfriend said Eun-jung completely exasperated
- Who knows we don't know, maybe he's still a couple laughed Yun-jiji
- Stop being jealous of me it's not my fault I'm so popular. And of course not, I'm still in a relationship, said Hyun-su with a smirk on his lips, his chin raised to show his arrogance.
I couldn't see Hyun-su's proud face any longer. Yun-jiji and Eun-jung decided to annoy him by debating how long it would take for him to break up with his girlfriend. During this whole argument between the three of them, only Aaron is staying calm.
- Aaron is really lucky you are engaged. You won't have to fight to find a woman later on suddenly said Eun-jung envying her
- Yeah, plus I heard she was beautiful, said Yun-jiji with narrowed eyes
- You wouldn't want to show us a picture of her by chance. After all this will be our sister-in-law, we have to know what she looks like said Hyun-su with shining eyes
- You better concentrate on your studies. Instead of talking about girls every day said Aaron a mini smile on his lip
As I look straight ahead, I met the gaze of a familiar girl. I was completely immersed in his eyes. Her eyes are really beautiful.
I had passed him this morning when I was feeding stray cats. Now that I remember she's in my class yet I don't remember seeing her. She really must be discreet then.
(Let's go back to the side of our protagonist: RUBY)
As for my face at that exact moment, I met Aaron's gaze. He had a little smile on his face, probably due to the discussion he was having with these friends. I was completely immersed in his dark eyes. We looked at each other without taking our eyes off each other until I looked away.
Looking at him once more, he already had retaliation for the discussion with his friends. Now that I see him up close, I can see that on his arm there is a happiness bar that is at 0 percent. It's weird, he looks happy so that should increase right? It's okay, I'll ask the system for an explanation.
I felt like he was familiar to me but where could I have seen him apart from today?
Suddenly for no reason a memory buried in my memory resurfaced. As if my memory was trying to put the pieces of a puzzle together. It was unlikely that I would know him yet there was also a small chance that I would know him.

PLIC PLOC PLIC PLOC
The rain had completely wet my clothes and my hair yet I was not cold. I even felt something intense. Which internally burned me.
Now that I notice it my eyes are completely blurry. I didn't know if it was from my tears or from the rain. Deep inside I think I knew what was the cause of my eyes blurry but I didn't dare admit it to myself. No doubt out of cowardice.
But why was I in the rain already? Ah yes, I remember that. I had to go home but I had left my things on my table. So I had quietly returned to get them. Then when you leave school. I saw two of my friends from a distance. As I approached them, I heard them talking. Talk about me. And not for the good!
What was their name even? All I could see from where I was was the long hair of a girl and the muscular build of a boy-
- Ruby really is a dog, she should be looking for friends instead of following us all day, the girl exasperated in a voice much too high.
- She really thinks that someone might love her, we're not in Cinderella here. In any case, I can't stand her voice at all, even to see her I can't stand her said the guy in a completely disgusted voice
Every word, every sentence that came out of their mouths was stabbing to me stabbing my chest. It's such a horrible feeling. I so want time to stop, for everything to stop. Was I thinking the worst
Suddenly I didn't feel the rain touching me anymore, it was weird. Relevant to my head, I saw a boy holding an umbrella over my head. I felt so lost that I didn't have the patience to be ashamed of my tears. I didn't like crying in front of strangers, but I really didn't.
- A handkerchief I suppose? He asked, handing me a packet of handkerchief
- Thank you I replied in a small silent voice
I was wiping my tear-strewn face and snot as good and fast as I could.
- thank you very much I repeated, not being sure if he heard me just before
He stares at me with dark eyes before answering.
- You're welcome, he retorts in a voice neither too cold nor too hot
- Mmmh answers Ruby still with tears in her eyes
As I lift my head once more to imprint the features of her face in my mind. My teary eyes prevented me from seeing the features of his face. No matter how much I blinked, nothing helped.
- You he started
No matter how hard I tried to listen to the rest of his sentence, I couldn't. The sounds were moving further and further away from me until I couldn't hear anything.
What did he mean to me? Maybe I'll never know. I thought frustrated
(end of flashback)
- It's okay? Haneul asked worried about Ruby's white
It was very difficult for me to come to my senses. My brain was all muddled up so it was with great difficulty that I answered him.
- Uh, yes it's ok ... don't worry I said in a weak voice
- You scared us said Yon-shi with a relieved smile
- We called you several times said Min-seo
- but you didn't answer us ends Min-soo
- Ah, sorry for the concern I was ... I was just in my thoughts in my thoughts answers them Ruby a little lost
- I didn't tell you started In-soo, his voice very excited
- Oh yeah, that's what the girls asked curiously
- The teacher will-
Before In-soo could even finish his sentence the bell rang. The lunch break was unfortunately over.
- It's already over, Haneul wondered.
- It's past said Min-seo
- far too quickly finished Min-soo
- I confirm said Ruby sighing
- So you wanted to tell us what asked Yon-shi curiously
- The teacher will tell you anyway explained In-soo
The bell having rung the girls hurried to clear their business which was on the table. And place the tray in the sales bin.
And off we go for another day of court. I will not forget to tell about my day full of adventures in Mady2 I say to myself, complaining
Come to think of it, why did I forget the name I gave to my system? Maybe it's the effect of transmigration? In any case, I will call her Mady2 so as not to confuse me with my little sister who is also called Mady I tell myself with good humor
