Chapter 74 – Reconciliation (1)
After Yooseong leaves the house to think about her, Seris puts on her clothes. It was when she was wandering around with happy imaginations.
“Is your sister still human?”
Kara has been criticizing her.
‘Why is he bothering me like this?’
What is there to fight for now? All you have to do is wait patiently for Yooseong’s choice.
Seris, who was too lazy to respond, just ignored her. That angered her Kara, she shouted loudly.
“Hey! Are you ignoring me?!”
“Hey?”
That title was a bit jarring. Cerys put her thumb and forefinger together in a pinching position. Kara frowned and backed away from her, covering her breasts.
“Ra, cowardly…!”
“Yes, yes, my sister is cowardly. So let’s stop bothering and wait for Yoosung? You never know, you will be chosen.”
Seris said calmly. It contained her confidence that she would be chosen. Realizing this, Kara sighed.
“This, you bad bitch! You just take mine every day! There is no sister like you. When Daddy brought you in, she should have swarmed her out!”
At those words, Celis stunned and stopped. She turned to Kara.
“What?”
She frowned and glared at Kara. Tendons sprouted all over her face.
‘Uh..?!’
Kara was taken aback. I’ve seen Seris get angry a few times. Because when she was with Rihanna, she was so mad. But she was so upset, I’d never seen her look like that.
“What did you just say?”
“What, what! Did I say something wrong? I monopolized the love of my mom and dad, took all the attention of the boys, and the girls who were jealous of her older sister left me alone. My, do you know how hard it has been for me?!”
Kara pretended not to, even as her body trembled. Seris’ expression turned cold at that. She walked towards Kara.
‘Hee, hee!’
Kara curled up tightly, covering her breasts with her arms. It was only a specification to pinch her nipples. It was so painful that I can’t put it into words.
But Seris passed Kara.
‘Uh..?’
Kara wondered and loosened her curls. Ceris took her parchment from her drawer.
‘A letter from my father?’
Why are you taking it out? Kara couldn’t understand her Ceris’ behavior. Celis opened her letter and began to read her aloud.
“Dear Baron Singlela.”
“?”
Isn’t it ‘To my dear daughters, Ceris and Kara’?
Kara thought she was weird, but didn’t open her mouth to speak. I stayed still to find out why my sister was doing that.
Seris’ reading continued.
Kara listened in silence. As time passed, her expression changed every moment. When the reading was over, she was pale.
Seris looked at that expression and said.
“Now, repeat what you said earlier.”
“That’s a lie. It wasn’t something like this. Don’t make it up!”
“It wasn’t made up. Rather, it was Mr. Yooseong who made it up.”
“Brother why?!”
“Why? You must have done it because you were afraid I would get hurt.”
Celis chuckled and tossed her letter. Took, she fell in front of Kara. Kara’s bewildered eyes turned to the letter that fell on the floor.
Seris approached her and crouched down. Meeting her at eye level, she said.
“What is this? Do you monopolize Mom and Dad’s love?”
Kara was at a loss for words. I never imagined that her parents would care for Seris for this reason.
“Ha, but it’s true that you monopolized the villagers’ attention!”
“Isn’t unnie not happy at all to receive attention from people like that? That she was bullied by girls… I’m sorry. I didn’t know that. But, Kara… Unnie worked all day just to make you happy. Friends of the opposite sex, friends of the same sex, to the point where I couldn’t even care. Is that what she said to her sister like that? That she was having a hard time because of me?”
“That, that’s…”
Kara didn’t say anything and lowered her head. It is true that Seris made her sacrifice for her sake, and it is also true that Kara took it for granted.
Cerys looked at Kara and let her sigh.
“Kara, has your sister sacrificed a lot for you?”
“Yes…”
“Then can you sacrifice yourself for her sister? My sister doesn’t ask for much. Only one. She only needs one.”
“Oh, sister!”
It was before Celis had finished speaking. Kara hurriedly grabbed her hand. It was because she had predicted what Seris wanted.
“It’s my fault. I was so selfish that I didn’t know that unnie was having a hard time.”
“I’m glad you know. So…”
“I’m so sorry that my sister sacrificed for her day. I’ll pay you back somehow! So only oppa… Only oppa to me…”
Seris grabbed Kara’s cheek with both her hands.
“Sister…?”
“Can you pay it all off?”
“Yes! No matter how long it takes, I’ll pay it all back. I’ll pay you back somehow…”
“I do not need.”
“Uh..?”
Kara’s eyes trembled. Seris sighed.
“How are you going to pay me back? With money?”
“Yes, I will work hard to pay it back…”
“Kara. You don’t need money.”
“Uh..?”
Kara widened her eyes, as if really shocked.
“…Do you see your sister as a money-loving person?”
“No…?”
“No! The reason my sister has been stingy with her money all this time is because she struggles to make ends meet, not because she makes money. What she really wants is people. Someone she can truly love and be loved. If she is with someone like that, she doesn’t need much money unless it’s a life where she earns a living every day.”
“Sister…”
Cold sweat began to form on Kara’s spine. Because those words are no different from declaring that he will somehow get the meteor.
“I, I was wrong. Please don’t touch my brother… Huh? Sister…!!”
Kara begged servilely as she knelt down.
Pride?
Now wasn’t the time to take care of that. I didn’t know if I would really lose it if I went on like this.
Kara’s earnest attitude made Seris feel a little shaken. Even if she is like this and that and she is like that, she is the younger sister. As she ran her hand over her face, she spoke as if she had made up her mind.
“Good. Then I’ll give you just one day a month.”
“…?”
“They let me have sex with Yoosung only one day a month.”
“To?”
Kara widened her eyes. Seris crossed her arms and nodded her head. It was a story that wasn’t as bad as she thought.
‘I’ve been tired of watching Kara and Yoosung having sex anyway.’
It would be okay to leave it as a delicacy once a month. It was also to catch his wind.
“Sister, are you sane?”
…Was once a month too little? Seris decided to concede a little more.
“Once this week. I can’t yield more than that.”
Kara’s wide eyes trembled. Seeing that, Seris felt proud.
Who in the world would yield a man for her sister?
Of course, Celis did it because she seemed unlikely to forget the taste of her masturbation while peeping at her.
‘I think I’m too nice…’
“This, you crazy bitch! After all, oppa is too much for you!!”
Kara pulled Seris’ hair.
“Kyaaak! Why are you like this all of a sudden?! Can you do it once a week? I can’t concede any more!”
“You’re calling me a crazy bitch for saying things like that!”
“This, this!”
Seris pinched Kara’s nipples.
“Kyaaaaa”
Even so, Kara did not let go of her Ceris hair. She tugged and bit her shoulder.
“Aagh!! Are you really going to do it?!”
“Okay! It would be best to just kill her sister!”
“What, what?! Let’s see this…!”
The sister fight started again.
* * *
A day has passed since Yooseong left the house. With the harsh crowing of the rooster, Ceris raised her body.
“Ugh… It hurts…”
Rubbed her shoulder She was bitten so hard that the scars remained.
“It’s not a bad thing, right?”
I tried to stroke her wound and stopped. Pouting her mouth.
‘No matter how angry I am, I’ll tell Unnie’s shoulder like this… To Yoosung.’
She raised her body to find the meteor. She wasn’t
‘Are you in the room..?’
With Kara? She felt bad. She tried to open the door a little rough. She opened it
“Yooseong…?”
“Umm… Brother…”
In her room, Kara was the only one sleeping, hugging her pillow tightly.
‘What?’
Seris put on her mask and came out of the house. She wasn’t even in the yard.
‘Didn’t you come..?’
Why?
Seris, who narrowed her brows and thought, immediately realized.
‘Looks like he’s in deep trouble.’
Because Yooseong is deeply affectionate. If she chooses Seris, she’s afraid Kara will be seriously hurt, so she’s like that.
‘Really…’
Seris smiled bitterly and prepared breakfast. After she finished getting ready, she woke Kara up.
“Kara, it’s morning, wake up.”
Kara rubbed her eyes and stood up.
“Brother..?”
“It’s my sister.”
“…”
“Eat food.”
“…Huh.”
The two sat down at the table and started eating. Kara murmured in the awkward atmosphere.
“The thief cat.”
“…”
* * *
Next morning,
Seris got up from the futon. As she looked around the house, she opened the door. As expected, Kara is alone. It was the same outside.
There was no meteor.
“Yooseong…?”
At this point, Seris felt that something was wrong with her. Her anxiety creeped up and she squeezed her chest.
‘I’m sure you’ll be back soon…’
She made up her mind and made breakfast. Then, with a jolt, the door opened and Kara came out. She didn’t even wake up for some reason, but she woke up.
No, looking at the dark circles in my eyes, it seems like I haven’t slept properly.
“Sister, I guess you didn’t sleep well?”
“…Tina?”
“Huh.”
Kara giggled as if she was a teacher. Seris was dumbfounded.
“Okay, let’s eat.”
The two started eating. Today, like yesterday, there was no childish war of nerves. Kara, who was eating her soup, called Seris.
“Sister.”
“Huh?”
“When do you think your brother will come?”
“…Will be back soon. You seem to be deeply troubled.”
“…”
Kara’s face darkened. Celis turned a blind eye and tried to think positively of her.
The meteor will come soon.
She believed it
And the meteor didn’t come the next day either.
Seris and Kara moved to find the meteor.
* * *
A week after the meteor left, Kara and Seris couldn’t even find his shadow. As it got dark, Kara sighed and went back to her house.
‘I’ve looked around all the places where I could be…’
He wasn’t Even those who witnessed him. That fact made her uneasy.
When she got home, she opened the door and entered. The dishes on the table were the same as in the morning.
‘I haven’t eaten again…’
Kara sighed and opened the door. Seris was sitting on the bed, hugging the meteor’s pillow. Staring blankly at the wall, her eyes were puffy, swollen, and bloodshot.
“…Did you not eat breakfast again?”
At Kara’s voice, Celis turned her head away. Life returned to her eyes.
“Ka-Kara Yooseong? I found it?!”
“No…”
The vitality that had returned was gone in an instant. She turned her head again and stared blankly at the wall.
Seeing her like that, Kara felt her heart ache for no reason. She must have hated her very much not too long ago. Even if her blood isn’t connected, are her sisters still sisters…
“Sister, let’s eat something first. I’m hungry.”
“…Hungry?”
“Huh.”
“Okay… Wait a minute…”
Seris got up and trudged toward the furnace. She boiled the water and cut the vegetables and she started cooking. Kara sneaked closer.
“Can I help you too?”
Seris shook her head. Kara sat at her table and waited quietly. Seris set the bowl of soup down in front of Kara. And she walked helplessly into the room.
“Does your sister not eat?”
“My sister is not hungry.”
Seris laughed hard and she went into the room. Moments later, a whimper was heard in the room. Kara stopped eating soup and ran to her room. She cautiously opened the door.
“Huh… Black…”
Seris was crying again. How many times a day do you cry? Then all the water in the body will drain out.
Kara walked over to Ceris and sat down. She comforted him by stroking his back. Cersei’s cries grew louder.
“Kara. I’m sorry… I, black… I’m greedy… I hurt you a lot… Yoo, Yoosung must be fed up with me like this…”
“Sister…”
Kara’s heart was touched at the sight of Seris crying.
“Don’t cry unnie… Oppa will definitely come, huh?”
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry my sister is greedy…”
“I’m sorry too. You didn’t think of your sister. We were both equally bad. The older brother who cheated on me was also bad.”
“No, Mr. Yooseong did nothing wrong. It’s because I, I threatened… Because if I don’t accept it, I’ll play with other guys…”
“Huh..?”
The tears that were about to come out flowed in. Seeing Kara’s expression, Ceris distorted her face.
“I’m sorry, Kara… Black…”
“Uh, uh… Uh, it’s okay… Yeah… Don’t cry…”
The back of her head hurt a lot, but it was kind of hard to say anything to her apologetic sister with her messy face.
Then someone knocked on the front door.
“Sister, wait a minute.”
“Huh…”
Kara left her room. Seris stared at her wall again with her blank eyes.
Smart.
“Yes, hold on.”
Kara grabbed her wooden sword and walked to the front door. She opened the door very gently to check the visitor.
“Who are you? Uh? Madam?”
He was the owner of the inn where Kara used to stay.
“Why is your mother here?”
The generous innkeeper looked at Kara and sighed at her.
“You Han Yuseong, did you fight with that kid?”
“Uh? The aunt asked how her brother…”
It was then.
Seris ran out of the room with a groaning sound.
“Yoo, Mr. Yooseong!”
