Chapter 153 – 153. Summer Festival
A morning cafe dominated by the fragrant scent of coffee.
As I look out the window with my sunglasses on and pour bitter coffee into my mouth, I feel like the hangover I felt in the morning is subsiding slightly.
It was refreshing to enjoy the outside air for the first time in a long time, but unfortunately, there was someone sitting in front of me who could erase that freshness.
“You don’t drink syrup?”
“Because you gain weight.”
… Kang Joo-hyuk.
Just yesterday, a man did all kinds of nasty things to me.
“… Joo-hyuk, I too, just take a bite.”
“Here.”
“Thank you.”
Of course, the picture would be strange if there were just the two of us, so my sister came with us.
However, I couldn’t bring Hinami because she was sleeping all over, and even if she was awake in the first place, it was difficult to bring her in.
It looks like I, her younger sister her her, am stuck on her her lover’s her date her.
Or, the sisters went out to have fun, and it was easy to explain even if it was discovered that the brother-in-law was there as a bodyguard.
I didn’t like it either way, but it was still better than sipping coffee alone with him.
Of course, I was scared to walk around alone, so I didn’t necessarily bow down to Kang Joo-hyuk and ask him.
Anyway, the manager has become quiet now, and I don’t think it’s dangerous enough to go around on a sunny morning.
As of today, I was planning to pack my bags and go upstairs.
But… , I couldn’t refuse to be summoned by him wearing a good mask.
The moment you refuse, it’s like threatening to take off your mask.
Of course, even if it was Kang Joo-hyuk, he wouldn’t be able to do something strange in broad daylight, and even if there weren’t many people, I didn’t feel scared of him even in a cafe where there were eyes.
If it were just the two of us, I wouldn’t know, but I also have an older sister, whether it helps or not.
I just hope that time goes by as it should, while I sip coffee and enjoy the fresh air outside.
… To be honest, I felt like I was going to die after just staying at home and resting for a day or two.
“… By any chance, over there.”
“… ?”
Meanwhile.
A rather neat-looking man came up next to me and hesitated to talk to me.
“Ah, are you Seo Ji-ah? … They look so similar.”
“…”
Although I am wearing sunglasses.
I didn’t wear a mask while drinking coffee, and I didn’t wear a hat indoors either.
Of course, there were probably a few people who would notice.
It was also a situation where it didn’t matter if people noticed.
However.
“… Is not it? Then…”
“That’s right.”
This person seems like he came here to get my number rather than being a fan of mine.
… No, am I just being sensitive?
Disappointed with myself for not being able to even accept a fan’s favor as a favor, I take off my sunglasses, put them down on the table, and slightly stretch out my hand.
“Oh really? Then, perhaps an autograph…”
“Please. “I will do it for you.”
However, contrary to my suspicions, the man in front of me, who was purely happy, searched through his pockets and handed me a post-it note and a ballpoint pen.
Even after resting for a while, I scribble down the familiar signature. I even ask the person’s name, write it under the signature, and return it to him.
“Thank you. I’m a huge fan, and there’s someone who looks very similar to me… The mole under the lip is also the same. So I did it just in case.”
“… Yes.”
“So, by any chance, the two people in front of you… “Are you an acquaintance?”
“She’s my real sister. … Next to him is her her older sister her’s her boyfriend her her her.”
“Ah… I see Then, have a good time with your family. Thank you for the autograph.”
My fan, who looked to be Kang Joo-hyuk’s age but was polite to the end and bowed to the younger idol, smiled and returned to his seat, treating the autograph in his hand as if it were a sinjuk jar.
… Normally, it was just routine fan service that I didn’t particularly like or dislike, and wouldn’t have been particularly impressed by.
For some reason, I couldn’t quite erase the sight of my fans being happy thanks to me today.
He wasn’t a person with any special characteristics, just a citizen you could always meet on the street.
“It’s very popular.”
“… Are you kidding me?”
“No, it’s a compliment.”
Looking at me with strange sentimentality, he started arguing with me in a clearly sarcastic tone, although it was not a sarcastic tone.
The older sister who was right next to Kang Joo-hyuk just kept her mouth shut and gave me a strange look.
… I’m so disgusted I’m dying.
Kang Joo-hyuk is a disgusting person by nature, so what is he about you?
Was it because the superficial reason was, ‘Your younger brother said he wanted to have a cup of coffee at a cafe, but he said he was scared to go alone, so let’s go together, the three of you.’
Are you that upset because you were robbed of a sweet holiday time with your boyfriend?
Anyway, we live together and hang out every day.
If I see my sister showing her wariness to me over something like this, I feel like she will explode and try to kill me the moment I tell her what happened yesterday.
… Of course, I can’t even criticize Kang Joo-hyuk.
“Joo-hyuk, come to think of it, it was there last time.”
“Uh.”
“Do you remember the person who tried to get my number when I stopped by a cafe after work to order something?”
“I remember the story, but I don’t know who the man is. “I’ve never seen it before.”
“No, just. I think it looks similar. With that person, with that person from earlier.”
“Really?”
… No, cancel.
It’s not that I can’t even criticize Kang Joo-hyuk, but I felt like I was going to explain to Kang Joo-hyuk 10 reasons why he should kill me.
I don’t even know why I should be hated by my sister in the first place, and more than anything, I am the victim in my relationship with Kang Joo-hyuk.
Without even needing to include Kang Joo-hyuk, I get hated by my sister just because she I’m popular.
He clearly ruined the relationship with Hinami, but the sisterly relationship was destroyed even before Kang Joo-hyuk showed up.
Rather, after he moved into her older sister’s house, their relationship improved to the point where he took care of her when she was sick.
There’s only one reason why that relationship isn’t as good as it used to be.
“Ah, but I think he was a little taller.”
“Bigger than me?”
“If he says it’s taller than you, the word ‘slightly’ doesn’t come out, you idiot.”
… Inferiority.
Even if her sister wakes up, she won’t admit that she’s dead.
It’s inevitable that her ugly older sister will feel inferior to her younger brother, and I don’t really care what her older sister thinks of me as long as she doesn’t commit a serious accident.
What’s bothering me now is… , I guess it means that her sister’s boyfriend is very interested in me.
Her older sister is already noticing it to some extent.
So, isn’t he keeping me in check even more?
… The moment he even hugs me, I might get stabbed with a real knife.
At least my current sister is several times more extreme than her manager.
“Ah, Ye-eun. “Hasn’t there ever been a guy who pretended to be a fan and worked with you?”
“There were a lot… , I don’t think it was thrown. “In the first place, people wouldn’t recognize me if I wore a mask.”
“Okay? I’m glad. “It would be annoying if a lot of people like that stick around.”
“… Yes.”
Now, to my sister who talks to me pretending to be friendly, I somehow bend my tongue and choose an answer that I think she will like.
In reality, there were countless men wearing masks or bank robber masks.
Even if I talked to my sister and said, ‘Yeah, I get a lot of work!’, There was nothing to be gained.
My older sister must have been satisfied with my appropriate answer, and she closed to him with a strange expression that was different from before.
“Oh, should I wear a mask too?”
“Why?”
“Why bother? “You know that I can’t stick to people who are next to me or who I’m working with. When I’m alone and I’m bored, I try to take people’s numbers one by one, right?”
“Don’t you know? “I know this when I watch you work at the gym sometimes.”
“So, why are you saying ‘why?’ When you already know.”
“… Do you think men won’t cling to you if you wear a mask?”
“…”
Seeing Kang Joo-hyuk building up my sister’s spirit by playing with his tongue her her in an admirable way, I tsk my tongue out, barely able to stop myself, and instead suck on the coffee that has fallen to the ground.
Even though she clearly knows the true intentions of that ridiculous man, how can she feel her ‘love’her for him and even show off her charms?
Let’s say Hinami is like that. Because he’s just that kind of kid.
But I just can’t understand why my ‘sister’, whom I’ve known for over 20 years, would do something like that.
I’m sure you’ve seen the bottom.
Coercive sexual harassment that is so close to rape,
A distorted castle wall that gets happier the more it shames you.
A face that isn’t particularly handsome.
But it’s not like I have that much money.
… He’s a human being with nothing to boast about except his body and voice.
He’s That’s the type of guy you hate the most, no.
Wasn’t she the type of person you hated the most?
Whether you’re a man or a woman, you originally disliked people who appealed with their bodies,
They said that whether male or female idols have too much sex appeal, it’s not good.
I also strongly disliked people like female cams who broadcast on the Internet.
“What… , Anyway. Yes, Eunah. “You said you were going to live upstairs starting today.”
“Yes.”
“He said he didn’t have any particular schedule other than going back and forth between agencies for a while.”
“… Yes.”
“Then you don’t have any schedules on the weekend?”
“… Probably not.”
“If you don’t have anything to do, do you want to come here? “I was invited here to cosplay, so I got a spare ticket.”
What happened?
Showing off your face in front of people… Has it changed enough to wear the sexy clothes that appear in games?
“Here, why am I…” ” ” .”
“You like this game, right? “I saw you playing this game on Hinami’s Instagram.”
“…”
“It’s going to be okay because it’s so crowded here, right? If you’re really scared, you can come with Hinami. I already gave it to him. “
Being praised by otakus while half-naked.
So much so that I feel ‘proud’ about going to have my picture taken.
Has common sense been ruined?
“Haeun, what about my ticket?”
“What bullshit. “You are my manager.”
“In our house, the word manager means stalker.”
“Yes, I know. So, manager.”
“…”
I couldn’t understand it, but since there was no guilt in the ticket her older sister handed me, I accepted it.
I definitely didn’t get it because I wanted to go, but I felt like Hinami would wander around on her own if I didn’t go.
… I feel like Kang Joo-hyuk will enjoy Hinami in a dangerous way again.
I really couldn’t help it.
