Chapter 369 – 66. Although My Sister Is Pretty (4)
.
… How bad is this house’s soundproofing?
To be honest, I usually don’t notice how thin the walls are.
Like now, when it’s nighttime and the surroundings are completely quiet, like this.
You can even slightly hear the sound of people going up the stairs outside.
Are all other houses like this?
Or just my house?
“… Huh. Looks like Lee Ha-yoon is here.”
It’s annoying, but it’s the monthly rent around here. And considering the monthly rent of this house, it is probably inevitable.
After burying my petty complaint in my heart, I rolled over, turned over, and reached out to turn on my phone.
… I said I was sleepy, I was sleepy, and sure enough, it was already 12:30.
I thought it must have been too late since they told me to take care of dinner on my own, but it was much later than that.
I usually come home at 10 or 11 o’clock at the latest, so why on earth am I so late today?
Is there anything you can do with your friends by this time?
Or what, you kept it a secret from me and met Seo Woo Jin?
“Okay…”
I don’t know. We can probably find out this tomorrow morning if we interrogate her sister.
I, who had been lying down with the distinctive rattling noise of an old fan, got out of bed with a short yawn.
Still, it’s not a good idea to stay locked in your room like you are when you’re busy playing games, even though you’re your only relative.
… But no matter how much it is, I feel a bit embarrassed because it feels like I was in elementary school when I warmly welcome my older sister.
It would be best to just pretend we bumped into each other while going to the bathroom.
After thinking about it, I did some light stretching and slowly walked out to the living room.
The faint sound of footsteps heard outside the door gradually approaches the front door.
Then, a ‘thud’ sound is heard for a moment, as if a hand had been placed on the door.
… Beep beep beep. The sound of pressing the door lock key.
Even so, I made a mistake once, thinking it was Lee Ha-yoon, and entered it again before the door opened.
“Why did you come now…”
“… Ah, Lee Ji-yoon. I guess you weren’t asleep yet?”
“…”
“My sister got drunk more than I thought… Wow… It’s quite difficult to even move it here.”
12:30.
At such a late hour,
I walked in, supporting my sister who was very, very drunk.
Her older sister’s boyfriend.
If you add them up one by one, there is nothing particularly strange,
“… Why are you already sleeping at this hour, you idiot?”
“It looks like you’re sleeping later than expected. Is it because tomorrow is the weekend?”
“…”
“…? Why? Did I even ask you something?”
“…”
“… Hey, wait a minute, let’s start with your sister…”
As her younger sister, I have no reason to be offended,
With a combination of those words.
369
… Ah, Mr.
Cell phone.
What should I do?
“They don’t seem to know that their phones have changed yet…”
After trying several times to unlock Hayun’s cell phone, I finally gave up and let out a deep sigh.
If they had noticed that each other’s phones had been changed, Seo Woo Jin would have contacted Hayoon here using her phone.
It looks like Hayun is still sleeping, and I guess the guy didn’t even notice that our phones were switched because he was moving Hayun.
… In the first place, Hayoon seemed so tired that he dozed off next to her, so it could not be helped.
I thought about just stopping by Hayoon’s house tomorrow, but my nature wasn’t calm enough to do that.
No, when I think about it, it’s not that I can’t calm down… Should we say that it is because of modern people’s addiction to smartphones?
Fundamentally, I hated the idea of my cell phone being in someone else’s hands because I felt anxious.
I also don’t like that I can’t look at things like SNS while Hayun’s cell phone is with her,
In addition to simply not being able to receive communication from others,
In a small way, like YouTube. Even ordinary internet surfing is blocked,
… Which…
A password set in case your fingerprint does not work. Because it is 0000.
There is absolutely no such thing as a private life that should never be revealed to Hayun,
It feels a bit like showing my diary… Because it’s difficult.
“…”
So, I got off at the next station and scratched the back of my neck in front of the ticket gate.
Anyway, even if I walk home from here, I only have to walk 10 more minutes at most, and I had a small expectation that I might get a call from Seo Woo Jin right now saying that his cell phone has changed.
… Well, in the end it was no news.
“Haa…”
Is there really no way other than going to Hayun’s house?
I took out my card wallet and beeped. As I passed through the turnstile with the familiar sound, I was the first to let out a sigh.
If I hadn’t made that minor mistake, something this bothersome wouldn’t have happened.
What on earth are you doing with just one phone? .
Still, it’s fortunate that I vaguely remember the location of Hayun’s house.
She left the station, checked the location of her academy, and without delay, started walking as she remembered.
I have a perfect feel for places like this.
“It was a house… Roughly near the academy.”
It was a house that felt very old.
There was something near the house.
What did the alley right in front look like?
Combining what remains in my mind, I walk along the brass-colored streetlamps where flying insects gather.
After walking around like that for 10 minutes, maybe 20 minutes with some exaggeration.
“… Oh, that’s right. Here it is.”
When I found a villa that looked exactly like Hayun’s house in my memories, I walked closer to the gate without hesitation.
This is definitely the house where Hayun lives, as it was the first time that Hayun lived in a house with stairs along the exterior wall, let alone the common first floor entrance.
But there was just one thing I couldn’t think of… I don’t know where the front door to Hayun’s house is.
One thing that is certain is that it is on the second floor…
“Hey, even though the light is on the second floor…”
For a moment, an old memory came to mind, and I sighed as I looked at the light coming through the curtains in a room on the second floor.
Clearly, Hayun is a younger sister… I heard there was this.
She said she likes to play games, so she often leaves the lights on late at night, and she’s had the lights on like that before when she’s been here, but… It’s because I’m not sure if she was in that room or not.
I can’t help it. There’s no way I can remember exactly a place I’ve been to only once.
I’m not as smart as the magic world, and my memory is at most that of an ordinary person. It’s a bit hard to knock on the front door just by guessing this…
“Uhm…”
Still, there was a method that just occurred to me.
Hayun said that her younger sister likes games, so if there is a sound like a keyboard being pressed inside that window, doesn’t that mean that it is Hayun’s house?
Deciding that it was a good idea, I went straight up the stairs.
Perhaps because it wasn’t cleaned properly, every time I go up the stairs, I step on something that looks like grains of sand.
Or maybe it’s just that the stairs are outside and dusty.
In the past, when I was in middle school and high school, the playground stairs felt exactly like this.
If this piles up, there might be someone who slips.
I was in the middle of climbing all the way to the end, making noises like this, along with various useless thoughts.
“…?”
A sound that is so well suited to the expression ‘crash, bang, bang, bang’ just came out through the window.
Perhaps because it came so suddenly, I can’t describe exactly what the sound was.
What on earth was it?
On the contrary, I happened to glance over the wall for a moment because of the sound of a motorcycle passing in the alley.
I quietly approached the window and listened to the sounds inside.
“…”
… But now I can’t hear anything.
There was definitely a loud banging sound inside this place just now, but it’s very quiet now.
At most, just the sound of a blanket rustling?
Even that is so pale that you wonder if you heard something wrong.
“Uhm…”
Just because it’s stuffy doesn’t mean you can peek through the curtains…
After listening like a petty thief, I eventually sighed and walked carefully towards the front door.
First of all, there’s no guarantee that this is Hayun’s house, but people are awake, right?
There’s a light on in the place that Hayun said was her sister’s room, right?
So, just knock lightly on the door and check.
Otherwise, all you have to do is bend over and apologize for bothering you during the night.
“…”
Knock.
I carefully knocked on the front door with my clenched hand.
“… Who…?”
“…”
As a result, what is visible between the safety ring and the gap in the door is… A pretty girl I’ve never seen before.
“Ah, hello. I’m Hayun’s friend… Her younger brother? Is that right?”
“… That’s right, but what’s going on here…”
“Well, it’s nothing else…”
She seemed a bit out of breath after playing the game.
When she came out from lying down to sleep, she was wearing pajamas that seemed to have been put on in a hurry…
One pretty girl.
“We were drinking together earlier, but Hayoon and I switched cell phones.”
“… Please speak comfortably. You said you were my sister’s friend.”
“Um, is that okay? Anyway, if you just unfasten this safety ring, I can go in for a moment and just grab my phone and go out…”
“… Give it to me.”
“Huh?”
“I’ll get your cell phone that’s plugged into the charger, so give it to me. Your cell phone.”
“… Aha, yes. Now, here.”
“…”
I handed my phone to that girl, and within 10 seconds she was able to get my phone back.
It’s like when you’re talking to a friend who has poor sociability but is good at work and other things.
“…”
… But, that.
Why did the door close so quickly?
No matter how cliché it may be, I wanted to say thank you for helping me.
Are you so shy that you would do something like this? It feels completely opposite to Hayun?
… Or else.
Is there any reason to close it quickly?
