Chapter 138 – Shin Eun-Ah
“Ah…”
Her body froze for a moment, and when Eun-ah sister hurriedly turned around and went back into her store, she hurriedly grabbed her sister’s wrist.
“Ahh…!”
Even though Eun-ah noona struggled, I didn’t let her go.
“Ha…”
Realizing belatedly that he couldn’t get rid of me no matter what, he stopped resisting and let out a deep sigh.
“Why are you here?”
“Iknow, right.”
She responded calmly to her question.
“Did you wait for me?”
“Maybe.”
Without a clear answer, she only spat out an answer as if she was trying to get over Eoyeongbuyeong.
But she opened her mouth with a slightly angry face.
“Don’t answer like that, tell me straight. What’s going on here?”
I met Eunah noona’s sharp gaze.
Their gazes crossed each other, but Eunah noona avoided her eyes first.
“I came by chance and saw my sister.”
“…”
“Why did you try to run away?”
As soon as she saw me, I was curious about her sister’s behavior as she hurriedly ran away into the store.
“It was just… Sudden. I didn’t know how to see a familiar face here.”
You can think of it as a simple part-time job.
Maybe she instinctively tried to run away because she didn’t want to be seen by people who knew that she was working under unreasonable treatment.
I think so.
“Are you working part-time here?”
“Huh…”
Eunah noona stood with her back against the wall.
“She seemed a little too much to do alone.”
“So… I have to wash the dishes the guests used in the morning. What’s the point of leaving them until I come and then passing them on… Ehh.”
He expressed his dissatisfaction as if he agreed with my words.
Even if I wanted to get rid of her, I had no choice but to endure even if she didn’t want to accept her anywhere else.
If she was accepted and an accident occurred, the employer who hired Eun-a without the consent of her parents would be held accountable, so it was a natural result.
So even if the intensity of work is high and money doesn’t even meet the minimum wage, it means that it is an unavoidable choice for a living.
Eunah noona, who knows this fact better than anyone else.
“But what can I do…”
She accepted this absurdity with a bitter smile.
No, because she had no other options, she was forced to accept it.
“May I help you?”
“Huh…? You?”
“Yes. I will help you.”
“How can you help… Ah…”
Eunah noona snorted at her, but she belatedly remembered that our family lives well.
I couldn’t grow up buying expensive luxury goods for her girlfriend, Nayoung, and she was also wearing a lot of famous manufacturers that everyone would know just by hearing her name.
To be honest, even though she is not particularly interested in luxury goods, she wears them once because my girls buy them for her.
Anyway, since I have a lot of money at home, I should be able to find a way somehow.
Eun-ah noona shook her head after sending a slightly cold look.
“Are you okay.”
“Why?”
“I want to stand up on my own.”
Looked at her own hands.
Her hands stretched out and then squeezed his fists again and again.
“I can’t see or hear it, but my future might be worse than this. Even so, I don’t want to ask for help because it’s just this hard.”
Lifted her head
It was impossible to find the starlight in the dark night sky because of the bright artificially created lights, including store lights and streetlights.
As if it was hidden away.
Looking up at the night sky, Eunah noona continued.
“Because my dream is really high.”
She was Eun-ah’s older sister who wanted to go beyond success and rise to the level where everyone would hear her say that she had a successful life.
Here she was frustrated and her life was too bleak to give up her dreams.
“Awesome.”
It was a nice word, but I didn’t hesitate to say something that made me even more ashamed.
“Ugh…!”
She blushed and curled up, as if her sister knew too.
“But.”
I have a question.
“You can’t climb up on your own.”
The world cannot go up on its own.
Even when I reached a certain level, if I didn’t find someone else, there was no way to go further.
Maybe this is why it is said that people cannot live alone in the world.
Anyway,
“Someone has to be there to help or support me.”
No matter how greedy I was, it was very difficult to rise above loneliness.
Knowing the future, I knew better than anyone else that Eun-ah noona stood up on her own.
Still.
“I’ll be your kind of person. I’ll guide you to the easy path.”
Gently, I held my older sister’s hand, where the thick flesh had settled.
“They say they’ll give you the easy way, but you don’t have to go the hard way, do you?”
“…”
It was a theory that could not be refuted.
Eunah noona, who had been looking at me blankly without saying a word, took her back away from the wall.
When I tried to leave without answering, she grabbed her sister’s hand and refused to let go.
“Pretend to be deceived. Pretend to be deceived and take my help. I will help you to pursue your dreams without having to work here.”
If it was Eunah noona… No, it was a proposal that would be difficult for anyone to refuse.
“Jihoon.”
“Yes.”
“What the hell… Why the hell are you doing that to me?”
Don’t the teachers even help with the work they’ve been asked to do?
Even now, isn’t it an offer that’s hard to refuse?
Eunah noona had a face that she couldn’t understand at all.
“I like you.”
Food.
She thought it was a joke, so her sister laughed involuntarily.
“I’ll pretend I didn’t hear it.”
With that said, she entered her shop.
Am I too hasty?
I don’t think she was bad.
“This.”
It hasn’t been long since we met and got to know each other.
It was a proposal that I had no choice but to believe in, and it seemed that she was confident that she could stand up without my help in the vast and thorough plan of Eun-ah noona and the time that was extremely insufficient to build trust.
There was nowhere for me to intervene.
“Then… I’ll have to approach it differently.”
Touching the greed to achieve the dream has returned to failure.
Then I had no choice but to approach it another way.
*
From that day on, I did not give up and continued to push Eun-ah noona.
It’s what the words said, but I tried to be friendly first while hiding the desire to blatantly win my sister’s body and mind.
But it’s easy to talk, but it’s harder than I thought to be friendly.
Even if she pretended to be fine on the outside, Eun-ah noona’s way of looking at me changed and she became more cautious about how she treated me.
Still, I didn’t give up.
In these efforts, we were going back little by little as before, but it was not easy to tear down the transparent and solid wall that seemed to exist between us.
“Are you not with Nayoung…?”
Lunch hour.
Today, I headed to the student council room and headed to Eun-a’s older sister, who was taking care of her North Korean work alone.
Even though Eun-ah noona has a girlfriend named Na-yeong, whether it’s dismissal time or lunchtime, she keeps looking at me strangely as she keeps finding me in the student council room to help her.
How eagerly to help.
“Are you even liking me?”
I even came up with this idea and inadvertently threw it away.
“Ah…”
Our steady efforts to close the distance had cracked the wall that stood between us.
It was for this reason that she threw it out as a joke, but Eun-ah noona belatedly thought of her appearance and shed an exclamation.
Even if the relationship is close.
She said that she liked herself, which was no better than an insult, was enough to make her angry.
The two eyes trembled without rest as they looked at me.
“Maybe.”
“…”
She was even prepared to be cursed at, but the answer that came back was, of course, a joke.
Then he let out a breath of relief and smiled.
But it’s no joke.
Now, her appearance is honestly at an unanswerable level.
But to me who knew the future, she was not simply an unscratched lottery ticket, but an American lottery ticket with over a trillion won.
Half way Or more than that, it was a sincere statement, but Eun-ah noona dismissed it as a joke and just laughed.
“Nayoung must be lonely.”
“It might be, but I’ll go to Nayoung in a little while, so it’s okay.”
No matter how generous she was to Na-Young, the time she devoted to herself was infinitely reduced, so there was a limit to her understanding.
So, she split the time she used to target Eun-ah noona in half.
Half of Eun-ah noona’s strategy. Use half for Nayoung.
With this agreement, I had to visit Na-young a little while later.
Until then, I’ll just have to think about raising my liking a little bit.
“Hmm… Ok… Ok. I’m going to the bathroom for a while.”
Eunah noona got up from her seat and she left the student council room, leaving her alone.
It was boring.
Let’s push this boredom away a little bit. I decided to do a little more work in order to increase the likability even a little more.
Time passed like that. Now it’s time to go, but Eun-ah still hasn’t returned.
It was strange that it was so late, so I went outside to find my sister.
She said she was going to the bathroom, so she decided to look for it from the bathroom side, but it was scary to find it, so I was able to find her sister’s back.
She is standing right in front of the bathroom.
As she approached cautiously, I heard the voices of girls cursing Eun-ah in the women’s bathroom.
And there were tears in the eyes of her older sister who was listening to her words.
