I Became The Childhood Friend of the Obsessive Second Male Lead Chapter 196

unedited

“That's too much.”

But now she can't, so she can only look at him with resentment.

Then Rieta noticed one thing.

It was a surprising fact that Noel was leaning his umbrella towards Rieta.

Of course, Rieta is Noel's great 'dating coach', and she's taught him how to use an umbrella or parasol when walking with the female lead.

A very long time ago.

“You remembered.”

“What?”

When Noel asked, Rieta pointed her finger at the tilted umbrella.

“That, I told you that.”

“What should I say?”

“But if you do this, Noel will be in the rain.”

“Isn't that a virtue?”

“There is no need to show such virtue to me. I already know very well that Noel has a pretty bad personality.”

Rieta grabbed the umbrella and straightened the tilted umbrella.

A large water droplet hanging from the end of the umbrella fell for a while, and the two shared the large umbrella equally.

“If that's the case, then why did you fuss so much back then?”

Noel grunted in a small voice.

“I didn't teach you to do it for me.”

“Then to whom?”

In response to the question, Rieta smiled bashfully, as always.

Noel felt strangely uneasy.

So far, he's asked a similar question to 'Who am I going to do this to?' several times, because Rieta has always given strange answers.

In a way that a special person who is distinct from others will appear.

When he was a kid, he thought it would  really fall from the sky.

Like when Rieta came to his house one day.

But he didn't believe it anymore.

Is there any reason for Noel to show meticulous kindness to someone who suddenly appeared like that?

They're not even close.

“To whom, I'll tell Noel later…”

Unsurprisingly, Rieta started giving the same answer today as usual.

That's the answer Noel memorized.

“Oh, that, I get it! A special person!! The person is clearly distinct from others. Right?”

When Noel looked like he wanted to die, Rietta smiled bashfully.

With a face that seems to be satisfied with something.

He doesn't know what's so satisfying about it though.

'Looking at it, what you think is still like a fairy tale book…'

One day, a special someone will appear.

“How come you still can't get past the level of a squirrel?”

As Noel spoke, he reached the porch of another building.

He tilted his umbrella to shake off the rain and folded it neatly.

“Here is…….”

“Just a lecture hall.”

Is it okay if she just comes to this place?

Rieta looked at the students passing by.

Although they glanced at Noel and Rieta, they didn't seem to find it strange.

“There are many cases where errands come from families. They won't look.”

With Noel's gentle advice, Rieta was relieved and stood behind him.

Noel was stunned by her perfect employee appearance.

“Why am I finding the things the princess does more and more difficult…”

He entered the building with brisk steps.

Soon he saw a long hallway, and he opened the door close to the stairs.

He said it was a lecture building, so she expected a large lecture hall, but the inside was surprisingly narrow.

In the middle of the room was a large conference table.

There were no blackboards on the walls, only old cabinets lined up.

When Rieta entered, Noel firmly closed the door.

And knowing what she would ask, he answered in advance.

“It's a seminar room.”

“Ah.”

Rieta tapped her fist in the palm of her hand.

Because she remembered what Noel had said in the library a while ago.

[“Anyway, let's each borrow what each of us was in charge of and gather in the seminar room. No disagreement right?”]

“Noel, weren't you supposed to meet with the students here?”

“This, you were eavesdropping on people's conversation.”

Noel tapped Rietta's forehead.

“I wasn't eavesdropping, I just heard it. So, aren't the students coming here soon?”

“They won't.”

“…….why?”

Noel looked away from Rieta's question.

Looking at it, she remembered the vicious memory of the 'Group Task' that Darrell once talked about.

If they're unlucky, he said they'd have to take on everything by themselves.

Oh my God, Noel was going through such a fate.

Because of his dirty personality, she thought he was putting it all off to someone else.

“Anyway, stay here. I'll be right back…”

“Uh, where?”

“I have a place to go. So, don't snoop around for nothing and just stay here. Understand?”

Rieta nodded her head.

Then Noel said, 'Good,' and turned around.

“Ah… Excuse me. Noel.”

Then Rieta grabbed his wrist. hastily.

“What's wrong?”

Turning around, Rietta was looking at him with a pretty anxious expression.

“Will, will you come back soon?”

In fact, it was scary because he suddenly told her to stay alone in a strange place.

He took out a watch from his pocket and held it out.

“I'll be back in five minutes, so keep a look at this.”

“Yes.”

Rieta let go of the hand holding Noel, and wrapped both hands around the watch. Carefully.

It was made of metal, so she thought it would be cold, but it felt warm because he had been in his arms a while ago.
