Chapter 78 – 78. Heart Attack
Can you really just leave us alone?
Why are you bothering me so much
Aren’t you paying too much attention?
⋯I know it’s a really crappy idea, but
That was my first thought when I saw an uninvited guest at the cafe at the end of the day.
“What. Autumn Kim. Why do you look at your cousin sister like that? Do you hate your sister so much?”
“Uh.”
“Wow ⋯, she was such a nice kid when she was young, how did she end up like this?”
“⋯Why did you come?”
“Of course winter came to see it. Are you both finished?”
“⋯Uh.”
“Since my sister will buy me food, follow me. I’ll shoot because my paycheck comes in next week.”
It’s been a while since I saw her face to face with her cousin.
⋯I didn’t want to see it if possible.
I tried to pretend that I couldn’t go because of my part-time job on New Year’s Day.
I felt like I was going to get caught lying to my older sister.
It’s scary to be honest.
“⋯Ah, sister.”
“Ah! Winter~”
Winter, who had changed his clothes, came out.
I awkwardly walked this way with a bewildered expression and was hugged by my older sister who ran towards me.
⋯No, no, she’s my older sister.
What else have this
Her younger brother was also struggling in her sister’s arms, as if it were cramped, and finally came out.
“But noona, how did you know where we were part-time?”
“Winter told me. I heard it’s open until 5 o’clock, so I came to buy you a meal.”
“⋯Oppa, why are you looking at me?”
“Why did you tell me?”
Why did you tell me that
What if it gets in her mother’s ears.
I told my mom that it ends at 6 o’clock.
When I glared at her with her reprimanding eyes, her sister struck back with her eyes as if it were unfair.
⋯ What.
If you hide it on purpose, you’re the kind of person who will find it no matter how you do a background check, noona.
If we say it ends at 6:00, then one day he will suddenly come to find us at 6:00.
“Hey, Kim Ga-eul. Are you embarrassed to say Do you hate your sister so much?”
“⋯You’re kidding. Let’s go get something to eat quickly.”
“Oh, wait. My sister’s friend lives near here, let’s eat with her. I need to buy him some food.”
“Friend?”
“Huh. I have a friend who is the same age as you. She’s prettier than her older sister, and she lives near here. Sometimes when I visit, I’ll even put them to sleep. Oh, he has a little brother, he’s so cute. Of course, even if it’s not as much as our winter.”
“⋯You and I are the same age, how are you and your sister friends?”
“Hey, if you have a four year age difference, you can eat friends. Is not it?”
“What nonsense are you talking about, sister? Heh heh, indeed.”
A four year age difference, friends?
There is no choice.
Would you say that when you see your older sister, who has been suffocated by society?
“Anyway, let’s eat together. Maybe you know him too? I’m going to go to the same college as you, and I think the transition was… Electronic or something.”
“⋯Sister. What is your friend’s name, by any chance?”
“Name? Why?”
“Just. Curious.”
“Heaven. New sky. Do you know anyone?”
⋯True.
The world seems really small.
Are celebrities like this?
Why is everyone so close to each other?
“⋯Sister. He’s my mate Go to the same department.”
“Oh yeah? Well done! It’s not like we know each other. Let’s eat together.”
“I work here because he introduced me. It’s his aunt’s shop.”
“Oh really? Are you familiar with the sky? It’s a big deal. I was worried because my little aunt said something about being stuck in the corner of the room all the time.”
“No. I’m not friendly.”
“Ah, there’s no way I’ll introduce you to someone I’m not close to.”
“⋯Sister, can’t we just eat together?”
“Sorry, Winter. No. Actually, I already called. Let’s eat together. Huh?”
“Your sister is really…”
“⋯ Winter, winter? Why are you so angry Your sister is scary.”
The younger brother, who was listening, shot at the older sister as if slightly angry.
⋯Calm down, winter.
It just makes me more suspicious.
My sister secretly stroked her brother’s back, and I swallowed the words I was about to spit out, and her sister tried to swallow her anger.
Ha…
Understanding goes.
⋯I was originally thinking of going to rest today.
“It can’t be helped. Let’s eat together, Kim Winter.”
“Yes.”
“Is it okay, winter?”
“Huh. It’s okay. Actually, I wanted to eat with my sister. It was a little awkward because someone I wasn’t very close with was coming.”
“⋯I’ll buy you another one later. Understand?”
“Yes.”
When her little brother came to his senses and pretended to be cute, the older sister immediately hugged Winter and rubbed her cheek as her face went mushy in an instant.
⋯It’s really easy. When you see it like this
Even though I know they’re both full of lies,
I don’t know if I can get past this easily.

“What is it, why are the siblings who are in charge of sales at our store with you?”
“They are my cousins. Are you surprised?”
“Ah, yes. You look a little like your sister.”
“And what? Was that cafe your aunt’s?”
“Ahaha, if you say that, your insides will be revealed, sister. You have to take them secretly to make sure it’s just a good cafe.”
“Wow, is Shin Ha-neul really doing well?”
“Ah, should I be as good as Anna?”
The meat restaurant decided on the logic that the boat should be oiled and returned to not feel sorry for the aunt.
The classmate who arrived first and was sitting in her seat slammed her chair and put her sister in the seat next to him.
Naturally, we also sat facing the two side by side and said hello.
“Hi.”
“⋯Hello.”
“Yeah, hello~ My aunt talks a lot about you guys.”
“I see.”
“They said they were very excited when sales doubled. After all, cafes should have a lot of pretty and handsome people.”
⋯I don’t think it’s because of us.
It’s just that people are moving around more than before.
While I was thinking that the only thing that could be done was to fit the reason into the result, my sister spoke up first.
“Winter, what do you want to eat? Pork belly? Rib?”
“I’ll just eat pork belly.”
“Are you Kim Ga-eul?”
“Pork belly.”
“What about the sky?”
“I also like pork belly.”
“Are you all going to drink?”
“I don’t drink.”
I don’t know what kind of catastrophe could happen if I get drunk here.
If she suddenly rushes out when asked about her sister’s not going out with a girlfriend for no reason, her life will be ruined.
“Ah, well, except until like this. You like to drink It’s the weekend tomorrow.”
“I stopped drinking. I will not drink.”
“I’m going to drink it again later. What is the sky?”
“Ah, I’ll drink, sister.”
“Yes, yes. Then order two bottles first, and if it’s not enough, let’s order more.”
“⋯Me too, sister”
⋯ Ha.
Why didn’t you ask me all of a sudden, he’s like that.
My head hurts more because of the smell of meat.
“Uh, are you going to drink even in winter?”
“Would you like a little drink?”
“Don’t drink, Kim Winter.”
“Why.”
“You are drunk. Don’t drink.”
“I am not drunk. Better than my brother.”
“Stop talking nonsense and have a Coke. Alcohol is not good for you.”
“⋯Isn’t Coke worse for you?”
When he gets drunk… That’s what I mean.
He’s so honest, it’s not strange even if he makes an accident.
But why do you want to eat it?
Have you been under a lot of stress lately?
“Autumn. I understand how much you care for Winter, but here, noona is the most important.”
“Uh.”
“And I want to see the cute side of Winterie getting drunk and having fun, so I’m going to pour you a drink as an elder right. Shut up.”
“⋯Is your sister drunk?”
“I’m going to drink anyway, so you can get drunk beforehand. Right? Sky.”
“Sure. Of course it’s okay~”
“Well then. Then I’ll order you three bottles of soju~”
Really, the two people who got along really well went ahead with the conversation on their own.
⋯ Ah, true winter.
Can’t you just listen to me like you normally do?
Why, all of a sudden
***
The alcohol and meat I ordered arrived, and I was grilling pork belly on a sizzling fire.
Originally, I was going to grill it, but my sister stole the tongs and said that you don’t even know how to grill meat, and I was staring blankly at the grill.
Unbeknownst to a younger brother, the younger brother started the conversation first.
“His brother’s classmates.”
“You can just call me Haneul unnie, comfortably. She’s my sister’s friend anyway, so I’ll call her Winter too.”
“⋯Yes. Anyway, how did you become friends with your sister?”
“Uh… That’s a bit difficult for me to explain, but… Anna. Can I talk?” “… I’ll be covering my ears, so speak quickly.”
My sister was covering her ears with her eyes closed, as if she didn’t want to recall.
No, why are you covering your eyes?
If it’s a bad relationship, isn’t there a reason to meet like this?
“⋯ Anna’s ex-boyfriend and I were acquainted.”
“Yes.”
“My friend was close with him. So, we often run into each other, communicate with each other, and become close with my older sister… But I found out that he was cheating on me with my friend.”
“⋯Ah.”
“I was thinking about what to do… I told her and became close with Anna instead. No matter how much I was a friend, I couldn’t see it. Cheating on others.”
“Oh, I see…”
Ah… There was such an inside story.
⋯ But wouldn’t that mean that the relationship with the original close friend is going to turn sour?
He was a man with a very strong sense of justice.
He was a lot more dangerous than I thought.
⋯ If possible, I will never be involved anymore.
“⋯Haneul, did you tell me everything?”
“Huh. Sister.”
“Hmmm. Anyway, that’s it. Are you curious, Winter?”
“Yes.”
“Nuna, are you sure you covered your ears properly? ⋯Didn’t you hear everything?”
“What are you talking about. I haven’t heard any I can’t hear you, I can’t hear you. ⋯I can’t hear you.”
My older sister shook her head with a downcast expression and wiped her lips with soju.
Did being betrayed by her boyfriend hurt that much?
I’m sorry too
⋯ After all, we are betraying in real time.
The triangle of conscience, which I thought had become blunt, popped out again and touched my heart.
“Anyway, when our winters go out with men properly! Take a good look at people! You need to find someone nice and not cheating on you. ⋯If you meet a bad person like your sister, you will fall into distrust of people. Kim Ga-eul, you too.”
“Ah, sister. Will Winter have a boyfriend?”
“⋯ Huh?”
While trying to soothe the remorse of conscience by chewing on kimchi,
My motive uttered something that shouldn’t be said at a drinking party.
“When I went to a cafe, my friends said that? They both have girlfriends.”
⋯Oh, that’s going crazy.
He parachuted several people into the alternative cafe, Mr.
