    41 – Sister

    The next place we headed to was, of course, a clothing store.

    From the start, our purpose here wasn’t just for underwear, but mainly for clothes.

    Okay, that much is fine.

    That much.

    “Sister…?”

    “Unnie.”

    “Um… yeah, Unnie? What’s going on here?”

    Countless clothes in my sister’s hands.

    And even this embarrassing outfit I’m wearing now.

    Seriously, how much is she buying?

    Besides, they’re all so feminine!

    I’m embarrassed that I ever said she looked like a girl.

    I was a complete beginner!

    I felt really scared.

    ‘It’s just a short-sleeved tee.’

    It just looks kind of weird on me.

    A see-through hoodie over the short-sleeved tee.

    And short shorts that cut off at the thighs.

    It was a stylish outfit, but with something a little hard to put into words.

    Anyway!

    “Stop buying, please! I’m begging you.”

    I snatched a few of the most embarrassing-looking clothes from her hands and hung them back up.

    Choha, looking disappointed, made a suggestion.

    “I’ll buy the outfit you’re wearing now, and we’ll get two outfits you want, two outfits I pick, and that’s it. And you have to wear one of the outfits I picked today.”

    She said it like she was doing me a favor.

    If a normal person understood the context of the situation, they would definitely refuse.

    But Ha-yeon’s mind, already worn out, wasn’t in its right state.

    So she made the worst decision.

    “Ah, okay.”

    She dug her own grave.

    Unaware of her future, the two separated for a moment, and Ha-yeon began to look for two outfits she wanted.

    But it was basically just a female version of the clothes she used to wear.

    “This should be good.”

    One was a simple black boxy tee with the logo of a famous brand, Youha, and moderately famous brand sweatpants.

    And the other was a white hoodie with a pretty stylish design.

    After roughly picking out the clothes, she took them back to where she was before.

    Her satisfied expression couldn’t help but turn into a stiff one.

    “Oh, you’re here?”

    “No, that…”

    “Oh? The two outfits I picked.”

    Both of the outfits she held were the ones I had desperately put back.

    I had desperately put them back!

    Everything was back to square one!

    In her right hand was a white dress shirt with a few buttons undone at the top, and a fairly long skirt that came down to the knees.

    That’s not too bad.

    But the outfit in her left hand.

    A black top that would definitely be a crop top if you considered my chest, even though it was a little long, and leggings that were even tighter than the ones I wore before.

    Ughhhh!!!

    “I dug my own grave…”

    I realized the reality of the situation now.

    Despairing for a moment.

    “Give me the clothes, I’ll pay.”

    Choha took the clothes and paid, putting everything except the outfit she was holding in her left hand into a bag.

    And.

    “Here.”

    “Put it on quickly.”

    “You son of a!!!”

    After that, she put it on in a frenzy.

    “Ugh…”

    The feeling of the wind touching my stomach.

    That feeling made me feel a little chilly.

    My face flushed at the feeling, but I tried to cool down and said to Choha, who was next to me.

    “Where are we going now?”

    “Hmm… have you eaten?”

    “No.”

    Come to think of it, I haven’t eaten anything since the simple in-flight meal I had this morning.

    Of course, with an S-class body, I could go without food for a few days.

    But there’s a saying that Koreans run on rice.

    “Then let’s go eat. I know a place nearby.”

    D Shopping District has everything from ordinary items like clothing, artifacts, and daily necessities to pretty high-end restaurants.

    The prices were a bit high, so I used to only come here occasionally.

    Anyway, as I followed Choha, I felt the eyes of the people around us on me.

    But I had learned how to ignore the attention a little bit these days, so it was okay.

    I’m still embarrassed, though.

    “Here we are.”

    The restaurant that appeared after walking for about two minutes.

    It was a udon restaurant.

    “Let’s go in.”

    As we entered the store, we saw a cozy interior.

    Not too many people, not too few, just the right amount.

    Some of them looked at Ha-yeon, but they were only slightly surprised.

    “What do you want to eat?”

    “Hmm… well, it’s an udon restaurant, so udon and a pork cutlet rice bowl.”

    “Then I’ll have cold buckwheat noodles. And drinks… should we order two?”

    “I’ll have Sprite.”

    After ordering the food and drinks, the food came out before long.

    “Looks delicious.”

    I lifted the udon noodles with my chopsticks and put them in my mouth.

    I haven’t eaten noodles lately, so they tasted even better.

    The chewy noodles made me smile.

    Choha also ate the cold buckwheat noodles.

    “Let’s just eat this and go.”

    “Finally! We’re leaving!”

    “This homebody. Or, homebody girl, I guess.”

    “Mm-hmm, that’s right.”

    It’s not wrong.

    I’m a homebody.

    While saying that, I put the pork cutlet on the rice that had been seasoned and took a big bite.

    So good!

    The best!

    As I was eating.

    Something unimaginable happened.

    “Ha…yeon?”

    “…Huh?”

    A black-haired man entering the store.

    Jin Ha-jeong.

    Why is he here?

    “Why are you here?”

    “I just came to eat. By the way, nice outfit.”

    “What does that… Ah, if you say that one more time, I’ll kill you.”

    Realizing what her outfit was, Ha-yeon blushed again and lowered her head.

    “You’re… Baek Choha?”

    “Ah, yes. I’m her sister.”

    “Really? I didn’t know… Can I sit with you? And don’t use honorifics with me.”

    “Who said you co…!”

    “Then I won’t refuse. Sit down quickly.”

    As Ha-yeon was about to say no, Jin Ha-jeong smiled and sat down.

    “Ugh…”

    Ha-yeon was desperately trying to pull down her crop top a little more, but it wouldn’t go down.

    It only covered her belly button at best.

    And it would show if she moved even a little.

    I feel like I’m going to die of embarrassment.

    No, I definitely will.

    My head has been getting hot whenever I think about Jin Ha-jeong, ever since what happened in the hospital room, but it’s even worse this time.

    Why is this happening!

    ‘I have to eat quickly and get out of here.’

    The way to get out of this situation is to eat quickly and just go home.

    Thinking that, Ha-yeon started eating her rice even faster than before.

    And Ha-jeong spoke to her.

    “So, have you contacted my sister?”

    “No, not yet. I haven’t even gone home yet, so what phone call?”

    “What do you mean? What’s that?”

    “Oh, Unnie doesn’t know yet.”

    Ha-yeon explained to her about the internet broadcast.

    Choha nodded as if she understood.

    “So, you’re going to be on Jin Na-yeon’s broadcast as a contract with the association and as a hobby?”

    “Yeah.”

    “But you know.”

    “What’s wrong?”

    An unimaginable thing was said here.

    “You know I’m a streamer too, right?”

    “Um… roughly? It’s Unnie’s side income.”

    The big reason why my sister’s house is so big is because she’s an A-class Hunter, but also because of the side income she earns from internet broadcasting.

    If she only did her job as an A-class Hunter, she wouldn’t be that busy, but she’s busy because she has to do broadcasts as well.

    “I’m doing a collaboration with Jin Na-yeon in a few days?”

    “Really? I didn’t know…”

    “Do you want to come out with us then?”

    …..?

    Huh?

    “You want me to join the collaboration?”

    “Just as a guest. The collaboration will just be me and Jin Na-yeon, so it’ll be fine. You can just come out as my sister and Jin Na-yeon’s acquaintance.”

    “That sounds good?”

    Ha-jeong, who was next to her, said that.

    Honestly, I don’t mind either.

    I thought it would be very burdensome to do a broadcast with Jin Na-yeon, who I’m meeting for the first time, alone.

    It would be 100 times better to do it with my sister.

    It’s a little weird to say that.

    But that’s how comfortable I am.

    “I think it’s okay too.”

    “Then I’ll call Jin Na-yeon first. I’ll let you know when I do. Wait for me.”

    “Okay.”

    By the time that conversation ended, the two of them had finished eating.

    “I’m going first?”

    “Aren’t you going to wait for me?”

    “Of course not. We were only going to come here, and you suddenly joined us. Besides, we’re going home now, so are you coming too?”

    “That’s not it.”

    “So I’m going first.”

    Saying that, the two of them leisurely left the store.

    And Choha thought as she looked at Ha-yeon.

    ‘Wow… it’s been a long time since she’s been so comfortable with someone. And it’s the association president. He looked pretty decent…’

    All of my senses are telling me.

    I think I’m going to meet that association president a lot in the future.

    When Ha-yeon got home, she immediately changed out of the leggings and crop top that showed off her body into the boxy tee she bought this time and the dolphin pants that Choha gave her.

    “I’m going to sleep in the bed, so you sleep on the sofa or the floor.”

    Of course, my sister gets the bed, and I get the floor.

    After laying out a blanket on the floor, I ordered fried chicken for a late-night snack and turned on the TV.

    -Korean S-class Hunter, Baek Ha-yeon, also known as Sword Demon, recently cleared an SS-class gate…

    -A new supernova has appeared…

    “Next, next, next!”

    Everywhere I look, it’s just news about me.

    She chuckled at the sight.

    “Wow, our sister has made it big?”

    Choha mocked Ha-yeon.

    Don’t mock me!

    “I contacted Jin Na-yeon?”

    “Already? Anyway, yeah.”

    Choha said to her as she lay on the blanket.

    “Is tomorrow evening okay?”

    “Tomorrow evening? I don’t have any raids for a while now, so any time is fine.”

    “Then I’ll call you tomorrow evening.”

    After that, a lot of time passed, and my sister also went back to her room, and she thought in the dark living room.

    ‘I’m kind of looking forward to the broadcast.’

    In many ways, I was looking forward to tomorrow evening.
