Chapter 100 – 100. Secret (3)
In the end, after having a hard time sleeping that day, I relied on caffeine to somehow manage my schedule.
The next day, and the day after that.
Even on the morning of the off day that finally arrived several days later.
I was afraid that at any moment the ground under my feet might collapse.
I don’t know where it all started.
I don’t even know where to start.
From the beginning, when her older sister dragged the man into the house,
This house is in my name, so even if I date my sister, if I had said that cohabitation is impossible, something like this wouldn’t have happened.
When I ran into Hinami in front of the house,
Maybe I should have stopped him from talking about the four of us having a drink together.
Maybe it’s already too late.
… No.
Maybe it’s not too late now.
I don’t agree with Hinami’s values, but…
Literally, we haven’t been caught yet.
The same goes for the group sisters.
The same goes for Hinami.
My sister… , I’m an ordinary person who doesn’t really care if I get caught, so let’s just say it’s out of the question for now.
Of course, if a love scandal broke out about Hinami, the impact would be different from an article about her having a fling with her co-worker ‘s older sister’s boyfriend …
I can’t help it.
I have no choice but to somehow end the situation before I get caught.
“Whoa.”
That man is not a perfect ordinary person either.
Former baseball player.
Although he retired at an early age due to injury, he was well-known at one time.
He was someone I knew about because he had privacy issues.
He later gave me a business card saying he was a fitness trainer… , Probably a lie.
Because SNS has been stopped for several years.
However, not everything is a lie.
I was able to find a few posts from old colleagues promoting that they had recently opened a gym.
… Surprisingly, it seems the team’s reputation wasn’t bad.
Whether it’s the rumors I heard or the actual actions.
I wasn’t particularly sincere.
“… It’s here.”
It’s a 15-minute walk from near my house.
I remember there was a gym here originally, but they took it over?
I was curious about where the money came from, but… Baseball players also have a down payment. Because the salary is not low.
Even if you try to borrow money from your sister, you won’t have anything to borrow.
… Let me check.
If it’s a place that’s running smoothly, nothing will really change.
If it’s a place that seems like it’s going to fail, you can bribe it with money and keep it from touching Hinami.
“Welcome… Yo. This…”
When I entered the gym wearing a mask and a hat, I saw a very tired woman standing at the counter.
It feels ordinary, but it just feels like it would be popular.
As soon as the part-timer looks at me, her eyes flash, and she reflexively covers her mouth and stutters.
“Uh, over there… If… ?”
“… Are we operating now?”
“Yes. Yes. Well, to register…”
“Yes. Just for one day.”
“Ah, yes… Wow.”
… Did you get caught because of your voice?
Even though I dressed as loosely as possible.
Well, it doesn’t really matter.
Whether you recognize it or not.
There is no need to come back again.
“You can go in here…”
I nod to the part-time worker who was guiding me until the end, her hand shaking, and I pass by the locker room and step straight into the gym.
Even though it was early in the morning, there were surprisingly quite a few people.
Is it because my part-time job is pretty? I thought for a moment, but
When I saw a woman with short hair running on a treadmill in the distance, those thoughts disappeared.
“… Hey, what are you doing here?”
“Who… , Eh. … “Jia?”
… What are you doing, really?
Hinami.
“What are you doing in a place like this? I don’t use the company gym. Are you crazy?”
“It’s a bit far… Right? So. It’s off today…”
I just put the mask on my chin.
I’m really annoyed by the girl who goes around advertising ‘I’m Hinami’with only her hat on her.
… Is it because it’s close?
You came here to meet that man.
Why are you having a date at the gym?
In front of everyone?
“Ah, but. Jia why are you…”
“… “Because it’s off today.”
“See, you came here because you were too far away from work.”
I hated Hinami so shamelessly for rationalizing me by using me as an excuse.
… I think my head is going to explode right now because of you.
I’m having trouble sleeping at night because I’m anxious.
“Jia, were you introduced to me by your brother?”
“… “What?”
“There’s Joohyuk oppa. “Your sister’s boyfriend.”
“…”
“Uh, what is it? No?”
… This woman with peace of mind.
Every time I hear that name casually mentioned in front of me, my lips become dry.
Even if there were only one reporter out of the many people here, the paparazzi might gravitate to me as soon as they heard about this private life.
“Well, well. Because the facilities here are good. “I guess he could come.”
“… Let’s go out.”
“Yes why… ?”
“Let’s go out. … Before the number of people increases.”
“No, I have a promise…”
“What a promise.”
“You…”
I can’t do it anymore.
Before covering the man’s mouth, the first thing to do was to crack down on Hinami.
It’s a miracle I haven’t been caught so far.
If only Hinami and that man were filmed talking…
“Ah, brother.”
“… A guest I hadn’t seen before has arrived.”
“…”
… Came.
That man.
Dressed with prominent muscles.
The owner of this store also touched his hair
“Uh, you don’t have a sister?”
“You looked tired so I left you to sleep.”
“Oh, well…”
Hinami approached the man without hesitation and spoke to him as if he were an acquaintance she had known for a long time.
… Do you really have no sense of crisis?
From earlier, all the people nearby were just looking at us.
“It would be a bit difficult for the two of us to go without my sister… Ah. But today, Jia is here.”
“… Hello.”
“Oh, hello. … “Did you call me?”
“No, just. It’s a coincidence. Accident. “I came here to exercise because it’s offline.”
Hide your emotions as much as possible and bow to him.
I feel like I’m going to die of anxiety just thinking about this.
As long as Hinami doesn’t get caught out in the open, it’s barely safe.
In any case, this man is, on the surface, his older sister’s boyfriend.
Since we are living together, we can say that he is actually my brother-in-law…
It’s not like there are no excuses at all.
“Oh, I see. … So would you like to write more? “If you feel the same way, I’ll give you a free membership, so I hope you’ll keep coming.”
“… No. That’s Okay. It also attracts attention.”
“Well, well. Yes. … Let’s go out first. Because it seems like you’re uncomfortable.”
With Hinami, who seemed to be the only one who couldn’t read this subtle air current, the three of them escaped people’s gaze.
The part-timer we had briefly talked to earlier saw the man leaving with two idols next to him, and looked at us with a strange gaze.
This is why I told you to be careful.
If that woman posts just one thing on the community, strange rumors will immediately start spreading.
… If you think about it, it’s not even a rumor.
In fact, Hinami had an accident.
“Do you want to take a car first? “She also talks outside.”
“… “You have a car.”
“A long time ago, my senior bought a new car and sold it to me at a low price. Get in the back. You ride in the back too.”
“Ah, yes. “Oppa.”
I get into the compact sedan I see so many times on the road, and check the rearview mirror to see his eyes gripping the steering wheel.
… Those eyes that seem incongruous and pretend to be kind.
If I hadn’t come, I would have just picked up Hinami and took her downstairs to my house.
There are so many excuses to make.
The upstairs is my house.
Even if a reporter were to follow him, he couldn’t follow him inside the building.
Since he is a friend of my girlfriend’s younger brother, I can just say that I took him to my house as a courtesy on my way back.
She would have been more perfect if her sister hadn’t been sleeping.
… Unlike anyone else, he is meticulous, so much so that I want to praise him.
“What… , It’s hard to go anywhere. “Would you like me to take you home?”
“You live downstairs anyway. “That too.”
“No, whatever. That’s right. “Then I’ll go first.”
She gives a tense look at him, who hasn’t taken off his mask yet, and shakes her leg.
That man must be feeling uncomfortable right now.
Hinami was going to meet up on her day off and have fun, but she got caught by me, so she would be quite annoyed.
Just send me upstairs like this, and I can’t take Hinami downstairs.
You must be shaking your head, right?
How will you get rid of me?
“Now that I think about it. Jo Hyuk… Are you not going to work? You take me there and then you go back?”
“Me? I have to go again. My friend there has an appointment with Ha-eun, so I’m taking her there for a bit. … “Did you not know that you two were close friends?”
“… But really, at the gym?”
“But I can’t just drive in front of the idol’s house and bring him back. I don’t even know where it is in the first place. His house his his his. “Only Ha-eun knows.”
“… What. Yes.”
I tried poking him a little to see if he would reveal his true colors, but he didn’t take off his mask that easily.
I only spit out the information that my sister and Hinami are close.
… Well, it wasn’t that I didn’t know.
The picture of the three of us without a single layer of clothing is still floating around in my head.
“Jia, if you don’t have any plans today, well. Would you like me to vacate your house? It’s okay for you and Hinami to stay together.”
“That’s Okay. You know. “We’re not that close.”
“Eh, what is it? Jiya. Am I cutting off my losses?”
“… “Not you, sister.”
On the contrary, seeing as he spoke to me as if provoking me, it seemed that this man was quite as offended as I was.
If Hinami isn’t by my side, I think I’ll show my true colors.
… If I were to say this directly to his face, wouldn’t that friendly poker face break?
“What… , Anyway. I came here to exercise, but I felt sorry for attracting people’s attention for no reason. “If you come later, I’ll give it to you for freedom.”
“… “If I have to go again.”
“We’re home, so go up. “I have to go back to work.”
“Yes.”
“Let’s go, Jiaya.”
While the man was stopping the car, he took the elevator up with Hinami.
He chatted and chatted uncharacteristically about something that happened yesterday.
After she stopped downstairs and was greeted by her older sister.
I took the elevator and went up one more floor,
… Instead of going down, I went back down just as much as I came up.
“… “What is it?”
“Hello. … Mr. Kang Joo-hyuk. “Aren’t you going to go to the gym again?”
“…”
While turning the car keys round and round, I hummed to him.
As soon as he saw me, he glared at me with displeasure.
… Looking at this shameless man.
