Chapter 176 – Don’t Pretend to Be Friendly With My Nephew!!
“…Who is next to you?
“Huh! Are you my brother? Huh!?”
Probably a friend of ‘aunt’.
And it was a very sudden encounter.
I followed ‘Aunt’ and took another step back.
“Hey, where are you guys going? And brother…? Because it’s not?!”
‘Aunt’ also had a happy expression on her face.
I thought we were pretty close friends.
And I was worried that he was trying to introduce me as his boyfriend.
So I tried to straighten out the relationship first, but the ‘aunt’ opened his mouth faster than me.
“Greetings. My nephew.”
“…Nephew?”
“…What do you mean by that all of a sudden?”
Haha…”
It seemed my worries were unfounded.
And ‘aunt’ seemed to be proud of our relationship.
Also, somehow in a fit of pride, she was pushing her missing breasts forward.
“Is he really my nephew? He’s my sister’s son. So, he’s my nephew.”
“Ah, ah… But, he’s older… Isn’t he older than us? Or is he very young?”
“That, isn’t it…? I don’t think I would ever be a high school student…”
“Hey… How old do you think you are? Guess it quickly.”
“You want to guess?”
“…Hmm. It’s too difficult.”
Suddenly, the atmosphere was twenty questions.
And with me standing on the floor, ‘Aunt’ and ‘Aunt’ two friends start talking to each other.
“25 years old!”
“Down. Now there are two left.”
“Ah… You’re not really a high school student…?”
“Ah, that’s ridiculous. Where in the world is there a high school student like that?”
“No, I mean. But… It’s a nephew. A nephew should be much younger…”
Two of my ‘aunt’ friends stare at me intently.
They say that even friends resemble each other, but it seems to be at a similar level to the first ‘aunt’ without being petty.
However, the two who were looking at me turned their heads sideways and averted their eyes from me.
“First of all, hello.”
“Oh, yes, yes…”
“…By the way, are you really Jiyoung’s nephew?”
“Ha, yes. You really are my nephew.”
Like Shin Joo-hee, that is to say, words don’t come out easily, as you would treat a friend of your ‘younger sister’.
It seemed like a minimal courtesy to ‘aunt’.
“Wow… I envy you. My nieces and nephews are still crawling on the floor.”
“…I wish I had a nephew like this.”
The two were busy glancing at me.
A rough tone of voice follows.
“… I’m Jiyoung and her friend Dasom Kim…”
“I-I’m… Lee Si-eun…”
Perhaps I was thinking too badly, the two who introduced themselves were twisting their bodies in shame.
“I am Park Han-sol.”
“Ah… Park Han-sol…”
“Han-sol, Han-sol… What a pretty name!”
“Oh, how pretty!”
I think it’s a common name, but the two say it to me with a little excited expression.
“Ah, thank you. Your names are pretty too.”
“Hee hee… Really?”
“Ah… But, were you not going somewhere…?”
“I’m on my way to the mart, but…”
“Ah! We were going to go to the mart too. It’s over there, right?”
“…That’s right.”
Suddenly, the two of them showed interest in me, and their faces burned with how blatant their hot gaze was.
And I thought it would be okay to break up at this point, but the two friends didn’t seem to have any intention of doing that.
It was still emanating a lot of attention from me.
“Then let’s go together!”
“That’s right! Let’s go to the mart together!”
The two of them have been pressuring me from the left and the right.
I nodded awkwardly.
“…Hey, what are you doing?”
“Why?”
“What?”
“…No. And get out of the way.”
‘Auntie’ waved her hands at her own friends, and it was like chasing bugs away.
At the signal that just changed again, ‘Aunt’ started to move while holding my hand.
“Hey! Let’s go together?!”
‘Aunt’ walked quite fast with her own short legs, but the hand holding my wrist tightened.
“Hey… Why are you pretending to be close to my friend?”
“…Did I pretend to be friendly?”
“Uh. He pretended to be really close when he saw that too.”
“Ha… When will I.”
“When? Did you just make eye contact with each other? And look at them. They’re chasing after you, ha!”
Jealousy was jealousy, but I’m not sure who the ‘aunt”s jealousy was directed towards.
At first glance, it looked like I didn’t like being close to friends, but I was confused about who was responsible for it.
“Ha, ha… Slow down!”
Haha… It’s hard, haha…”
The two friends who ran after us were breathing heavily.
It shakes its body greatly and pretends to steal the ground on its forehead.
“…You guys are going to the mart, right?”
“Oh, yes. Are you going to eat ice cream?”
“…In this weather?”
“It’s the most delicious thing to eat now, but I don’t know what it is.”
“…But, did you actually go hand in hand like that…?”
It was Dasom Kim who had the bigger breasts of the two.
“Uh. Why? You don’t even hold your nephew’s hand outside? What if you lose it?”
“…Losing it?”
“You, is that insensitivity to safety?”
“No… Why do grown-up people get lost…”
Their eyes turned to me again.
For me, being shy was the limit.
“Anyway, go buy some ice cream quickly.”
“Hey! It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, isn’t it too heartless?”
“It’s been a while. I saw you last month.”
“…Was it long enough?”
I somehow ended up being surrounded by those three.
“No, so how old is your nephew? Are you really younger than us?”
“…No.”
“Huh! I knew that. Hey, how old are you…?”
The short Lee Si-eun stares at me.
And with her eyes shining brightly, she asks me.
“One year older. Twenty one…”
“Ah… You are my brother…”
“Hey! It’s not my brother, it’s my nephew?!”
At the word ‘oppa’, ‘Auntie’ raises her twin wicks and glares at Si-eun Lee.
“Who said what? And he’s a nephew to you, but he’s an older brother to us, right?”
Originally, he had a lot of aegyo, but his eyes were already drawing a half moon.
He puts his hands behind his back and looks up at me cutely.
“…You, don’t get out of the way? Don’t pretend to be close to my nephew!!”
‘Aunt’, who was excited somewhere, tried to push her away.
“…Aunt, stop it. What are you doing outside?”
“Wow… Lee Mo-rae. It’s really amazing…”
I caught the ‘auntie’ who was about to run amok, but the two friends seemed to be more curious about the fact that I called ‘auntie’ ‘auntie’.
“Hey, oppa… Then we’re friends with Jiyoung, so what are you going to call us?”
“…Well.”
Now, the question of whether I should treat even my ‘aunt’ friends on the top of my hand runs through my head briefly.
“Hey! I told you not to pretend to be friendly?!”
“No… Why does he keep going crazy?
“Not one! Not too much!!”
‘Auntie’ even pretends to punch in the air, but Lee Si-eun and Kim Da-som don’t seem to care at all, as if they’re used to this damn ‘auntie’ reaction.
“First of all… Shall we go in? Auntie. Be quiet inside. If not, won’t they buy you snacks?”
“…Don’t be mean and threaten me with sweets.”
Still, the threat soon calmed down, and he brought his head to my chest.
“And hug me.”
“…What?”
I wondered if I had heard it wrong.
“I want a hug.”
“…Here? Suddenly?”
“I’m having a hard time right now. Normal. Small. Chu. Rum. Just hug me.”
And the eyes of ‘Aunt’, who speaks clearly one letter at a time, are directed towards her friends.
“…Why are you doing this? It’s burdensome.”
“Hey, why is this burdensome? You and I usually hug each other often.”
“…Be quiet.”
It was frankly menacing.
It wasn’t easy to accept all of ‘Aunt”s childishness in front of other people, especially in front of ‘Aunt’s’ friends.
“Oh, hurry up! Huh?”
Suddenly, the ‘aunt’ who turned her body in the opposite direction stretches her arm around my neck.
And my eyes go to Lee Si-eun and Kim Da-som.
“Wow… I wish… I wish I had a nephew like that…”
“…I’m not even a kid. Doing things like that outside…”
“Aren’t you envious though?”
“Well, I’m envious, I’m envious…”
At the conversation between the two, the corners of ‘Aunt”s mouth go up as if it were caught in her ears.
“Hug me quickly, okay?”
Then he lifts his tiptoe and wraps his arms around my neck.
He jumped up and down the floor again, and wrapped his legs around my waist.
“Uhh…”
I can’t help but support my butt and hold it because I’m worried that ‘aunt’ will fall to the floor.
‘Aunt’ buried her face in my chest and started rubbing.
“Now go in!”
And ‘Aunt’, who seemed to be in high spirits, pointed to the mart.
He turns his head back and looks down at his friends.
“Ha! Are you envious? Don’t you guys have nephews like this?”
The voice of the triumphant ‘aunt’ rang out in a small voice.
The two friends nodded slightly.
“They’re very close… I’m an only child, so I don’t have a brother… So, would you like to be my brother?”
“Me too! I’m an only child too, can’t you be my older brother?”
Lee Si-eun and Kim Da-som came to us with great strides.
‘Auntie’ waved her hands again, as if chasing away her worms.
“Aren’t you going?! Who’s your brother. My nephew?”
“Oh, who doesn’t know that? But he’s an older brother to us.”
“That’s right. Brother.”
It seems like he wanted to show off our intimacy through skinship with ‘aunt’, but somehow it seems to have backfired now.
“…I don’t like it. You guys should find another brother.”
My aunt’s hands and feet were clamping down on my body.
Then she opens her eyes sharply and glares fiercely at her friends.
