chapter 21
21. It must be uncomfortable
“sister?”
Everyone probably doesn’t understand what’s going on right now.
I also continued to deny it until Hayan rang the doorbell in front of my house.
‘Yes, you can.’
It turned out that my classmate’s older sister was our housekeeper.
It’s possible that the person who left last night has come to my house without saying anything.
I checked my mom’s missed calls and called her, but I couldn’t answer because I was at the hospital.
“…”
Yes, it is possible.
‘Even if something is very strange, it’s okay.’
A 25-year-old can suddenly turn into a 17-year-old. You can easily overlook this kind of incident, right?
however.
Really, why, why, why?
“Crazy guy…”
Did you say the word ‘owner’ while wearing an apron?
My older sister’s comment adds fuel to the fire in a situation that could be misunderstood because she looks so young.
At the same time, Chaerin, who was watching from behind, started swearing.
Hayan looked at her sister blankly, then turned her head to me and said.
“… master?”
“No, that’s not it… say something, sister.”
“Ahh.”
Hani is already half-fazed by the shameful scene she shows her younger brother.
It was already too much to ask her for an explanation.
In order to resolve the misunderstanding, I approached my friends who were slowly moving away, smiling as harmlessly as possible.
“Guys, can you please listen to me?”
“f*ck off, you lolicon.”
It seemed like it would take a lot of time to resolve this misunderstanding.
*
“hahahaha… you were all in the same class as your younger brother.”
After she finally came to her senses.
Fortunately, Hayanyi told everyone that she was her older sister and washed away the stigma of being a lolicon.
‘I said she was my sister from the beginning, but I wonder why…’
Even though it was a little unfair, I understood.
The scene that just happened was so shocking that I thought it would have happened to me as well.
“So why did you say that?”
I asked her not sarcastically, but out of pure curiosity, and she answered with a shy expression.
“I went into your room to clean, and there was a maid on the monitor.”
“Wait a minute, that’s it.”
Jaune immediately knew what she was talking about.
A cartoon I watched all night yesterday and felt sleepy so I left the computer on without turning it off.
It was obvious that she, who was trying to clean her room, would have seen that I turned it on in the morning because I was lazy and left.
‘Did you know my sister would come…’
I thought that the feelings of being caught by the housekeeper being a maid would be similar to the feelings of the woman who had just heard her nasal voice from her younger brother.
As I was washing my face dry with one hand out of shame, she spoke carefully.
“Gwae, it’s okay, everyone has their own tastes… but being a maid is a bit embarrassing.”
“Don’t blush. “I don’t want to cancel the contract.”
Hani had just seen Park Chae-rin try to call 112, but she was still busy making fun of me, as if she had lost her senses.
‘Was this person always like this?’
I just thought he was an unemployed person with no motivation for everything.
It seemed like the person had changed slightly, including the cooking he showed me yesterday and his lively appearance now.
‘After all, people have to work.’
Joo-woon is briefly appreciating Hani’s funny face.
I turned my head to see Chae-rin staring at Ja-woon with an expression of disapproval.
‘Let’s pretend not to know.’
It’s obvious that if you ask for nothing, you won’t get a good sound.
‘There’s no need to bother with that.’
He just pretended not to notice and turned his head to keep his gaze elsewhere.
“…”
However, the more you ignore it, the more it becomes a cold sensation.
Jaune ended up asking if his face would get pierced if he left it like this.
“Why on earth are you staring at me like that?”
“just.”
It’s a good excuse to just ask and then come out.
It wasn’t visible to anyone for the simple reason that it was just that, but I didn’t inquire further.
Hani looked at everyone as if they were cute, then briefly checked the time on her phone and said.
“It’s dinner time now. Are you all going to eat?”
“…are you good at cooking?”
Chae-rin asks with suspicious eyes whether she has forgotten that she is a housekeeper.
My sister answered the obvious question with a hearty smile that did not match her small body.
“Even though it looks like this, I am a top graduate from the Hotel Culinary Arts Department. Since my friend is Japanese, shall we try Japanese food for the first time in a while?”
“Do you have any ingredients?”
“I bought all the basic sauces and seasonings on my way home today.”
No, are you the one who whined about not wanting to work at the park?
‘I was wondering what would happen if I came home and did some work…’
It looks like everything has been carefully prepared in advance, and the cleanliness of the house felt from the moment you entered.
I began to doubt again whether he was the person with the trashy eyes that I saw when I first met him.
“You said Yuma, right? “What is your favorite Japanese food?”
“I eat everything well… Is it possible to eat gyudon?”
“huh! “It’s that easy.”
After receiving the order, she immediately ran to the refrigerator, took out various ingredients, and started cooking.
Seeing that, Hayan slightly raised the corners of her mouth as if she felt better.
“It’s been a while since I ate your food.”
“Don’t you cook at home?”
“I don’t even go into the kitchen unless it’s a family birthday. “Of course I don’t clean.”
Sometimes people make this mistake.
[If you have a chef in your family, you will always eat delicious food. I’m jealous~]
Absolutely not.
‘If that were the case, at least my mom wouldn’t have told me to get a job.’
After all, chefs cook outside all the time, but they don’t want to go into the kitchen at home and cook profusely in front of a hot fire.
“But it’s my first time eating Japanese food, so I’m looking forward to it.”
Everyone sitting at the table waited for her to cook with anticipation, curiosity, and hostility in their hearts.
The unique sweet smell of Japanese cuisine filled the room, and soon Hani served us some delicious gyudon.
“If it’s not enough, tell me. “I’ll give you more.”
“Yes, I will eat well.”
I had so much work to do today that I wasted a lot of energy, so I grabbed a spoon right away when the smell made my mouth water.
‘It’s crazy. it’s crazy.’
The moment you try to scoop up a large spoonful of soft meat.
Chae-rin, who had been watching quietly, leaned closer to Joo-un and said.
“Spoon.”
“no.”
“You didn’t even come for lunch today.”
“Why didn’t you go?”
As expected, the damn thing started this time too.
‘Please, let’s just eat.’
Hani, who had been quietly watching from the front, spoke as the petty and bitter fight continued, with no one backing down even an inch, and they were unable to eat.
“Then I will feed you.”
“yes?”
Chaerin’s eyes suddenly turned fierce, like a carnivore, at the unexpected guest.
My older sister smiled and spoke calmly, as if she found that expression rather amusing.
“Usually this kind of thing is done by housekeepers, right? “I’ve already eaten, so I’ll feed you, and your friend can eat.”
“But you got hurt because of me…”
Hani gently admonished me in an unusually calm tone.
Chaerin was momentarily intimidated by the facts and answered cautiously.
Hani briefly asked the answer again.
“Did Jaune ask for it?”
“…”
Today, I was surprised at how different it was from my honest first impression.
The cool-headed adultness that comes from the appearance of a middle school student even exuded a sense of disconnect and controlled the atmosphere.
Meanwhile, I sighed and said, probably because I was worried that I had spoken too directly.
“I understand what happened, but don’t put too much pressure on Jaune.”
“And it’s too much for him to be fed by a pretty girl like you.”
“That’s too much.”
Hani smiles brightly again like before and comforts Chae-rin.
I felt the cold air loosening slightly at her jokes and laughter.
‘Is this an adult?’
To Joo-un, who only knew how to flirt with men but didn’t know how to appease a girl, every single thing Hani did meant a lot.
‘Even if you think about his actual age, he’s at most a year older.’
They say you don’t judge people by their age, and I painfully knew that was true.
No matter how emotionally unstable she is, she will understand a little since I told her this much.
I finally feel at ease.
To be honest, it felt good to be served by her, so I would be lying if I said I didn’t feel sad.
I had to stop here, if only for Chaerin’s sake.
And I thought it would stop.
“hey…”
Until I heard Chae-rin’s call, coldly permeating the cool air.
“Is it really a burden…?”
“…”
It shakes.
Chaerin’s sharp eyes.
As well as my weak heart when I saw him.
I never thought that everything I did until now was acting.
Seeing her as if she was going to collapse at any moment before my eyes made me realize that everything she had shown before was just an act.
‘What answer should I give?’
How can I discipline her like my older sister did?
In agony, I used each second as if it were a minute and organized many thoughts.
The moment I open my mouth to organize my feelings as best as I can and then convey them without causing any hurt.
“It must be uncomfortable.”
Hayan, who had been quiet the whole time, intercepted the conversation.
Jaune, who had no idea that she would suddenly intervene, turned his head and looked at her.
“Even more so if you ask Jaune about that now.”
There were empty eyes filled with shadows and no light.
