Before the Storm.

One weekend morning, I was in my dad’s room watching Alpha and Beta on the computer, concentrating on the screen.

“Oh… I’m excited…”

I was concentrating on the screen for a while, wearing one earphone and squatting with my legs up on the chair.

At that time, my dad came out after washing up and saw me.

“Si-yoon, what are you doing?”

“Huh? I’m watching the video.”

“What video?”

“Um… it’s like a documentary.”

“ah…”

Dad seemed curious as to why he was watching the documentary on his computer.

Perhaps that was what I thought, so I shrugged and went to cook.

I focused more and more on the screen, and my dad came running in quickly, as if my expression was unusual.

That’s right, what I was looking at was my dad’s ‘Pandora’s Box’?

There was a folder that took up a lot of space, so I opened it and a new world opened up.

‘Wow…’

There was a reason my dad was healthy.

What I was seeing now was art beyond what I had imagined.

In the past, I felt excited looking at magazines, and now I feel excited looking at YouTube.

I was so excited when I saw curvy women dancing while highlighting their bodies…

This is… nothing but flesh-colored, dynamic, and most efficient movement.

As I compare it to my own body…

I saw my dad rushing towards me from afar.

For a moment, I almost panicked, but after thinking about it, I felt confident.

It’s my dad’s fault for putting them on the computer that my young self was easily exposed to.

Dad blushed and quickly turned off the video.

Looking at the movements of his hands, it seemed like he hadn’t turned it off once or twice.

“Why? Is the food ready?”

“…Dad’s room…don’t come in.”

I jumped up and left my dad’s room, and he seemed to be in despair and quickly turned off the computer.

“Oh, that’s right. When you choose your mom, you have to get my permission first~”

I wanted to tease my dad more, but…

My dad looked shocked that I had seen ‘Pandora’s Box’ and felt like he wanted to go down a rat hole.

I lay down on the living room sofa, and Alpha and Beta followed me.

“Oh, pretty beta, I just saw something interesting about you. Fortunately, your breasts are smaller than yours.”

Dad must have calmed down, so he came out of the room and slowly made a meal with a sad look on his face.

“Eat…”

Following my father’s words, I set up the spoon and chopsticks and served the rice.

Afterwards, while eating, I looked at my dad, who was drooping like a puppy that got caught in the rain, and said,

“Well… seeing as Mom was small too… Dad has that kind of taste.”

“Puhak!… Cough…”

“It was completely Shinsekai…”

Dad’s face turned like a strawberry.

“Hihi, the rice is delicious~ I have to show this to Aunt Jieun~”

Dad looked at something in my hand and was shocked.

There was a USB in my hand. Dad called me in a hurry.

“Siyoon?!”

“huh?”

I made an innocent expression, saying I didn’t know anything, and my dad looked at me with a serious expression.

“Do you… need pocket money?”

“Ah~ That’s what I want these days… Is that really it?”

“…Ha… I’ll make you an ID…”

“Huh?! If Dad makes it for me, I’d be grateful~ But I want to use that ID somewhere, and I wonder if there’s a way~?”

“…PC room…and 8 o’clock curfew… I will allow it.”

That day, my dad lifted the restrictions on games that had been labeled 19 for being cruel and the restrictions on PC rooms.

Instead, I signed a pledge not to look at the information on my father’s computer.

Nevertheless, no matter how many years I had been saving it, my father never said he would get rid of it.

Well, the last time I caught a trash can, if I had looked at my dad like he was looking at me like a bug…

Dad would have endured it even if he had to tie it up himself.

The files would have disappeared the next day…

But I was able to understand my father because I lived as a man for 45 years.

I was watching TV with Alpha and Beta on my right.

Two cats concentrating on TV, wondering what they know.

I fixed my eyes on the TV, and when I poked the white alpha’s butt with my finger, the alpha looked back at me.

As I pretended not to notice, I looked closely at the beta sitting next to me.

When I poked Alpha’s butt as he was focusing his attention on the TV again, he said, ‘Nayaaah.’ I made a noise and looked at the beta.

Beta glances at Alpha, and Alpha says, “Fabababaak!” and hit the beta.

When I poked the alpha’s butt again, he looked at me with a growl and raised his hand first.

“What, are you going to hit my sister too!?”

“Myaaang…”

The alpha placed his hand on top of mine and licked it.

Beta was the only one with a shit-chewing expression on his face.

At that time, my father came out after changing his clothes.

“How are you, Dad?”

“Anyway, you only wear Storm Island. What kind of ambassador is your dad there? Wear something else.”

“What should I do with the pretty clothes…”

“Wear something else and come out.”

My dad dressed worse than me in the past.

I eventually went into my dad’s dressing room and took out some clothes.

“Wear it like this.”

“huh.”

After picking out clothes for my dad, I also picked out my own clothes in the clothes room.

“Siyoon, are you finished~?”

My dad called from outside, so I opened the door wearing only a boxy t-shirt.

“Dad, pick out clothes for me.”

“…Now that I’m all grown up, I have to put on pants and open the door.”

“What? I can’t choose clothes, so I’m not wearing them.”

Dad put the clothes on me and nodded.

“You can wear this.”

“I’m really screwed… Do they know how old I am and choose me like this?”

“…sorry.”

Still, today I decided to dress in my dad’s style, wearing black stockings, a comfortable outfit, and a military jersey.

And I wore a Storm Island hat.

My dad looked at me and clapped.

“It’s so pretty!”

“know.”

“That’s right, it takes a long time after eating.”

“Then let’s go eat sundae soup.”

“Is that so?”

My dad and I ate and visited my brother’s studio next door for the first time in 6 years.

The only program I chose as a media outlet to reveal my current situation is Brother Next Door.

There are many reasons why I decided to reveal my current situation.

My face isn’t much different from how I looked when I was young, so I’m recognized wherever I go.

Above all, it was an appearance that focused attention as if the bigger it was, the more it would reach the pinnacle of beauty.

If I take off my mask, I can capture the attention of even people who don’t know me.

And the biggest reason why I chose Brother Next Door is because I am an avid viewer of Brother Next Door.

I was sitting next to my dad in the waiting room and eating snacks.

I realized that I had grown a lot.

Everyone seemed taken aback when they saw me grow up so much.

At that time, the regular cast of Brother Next Door opened the door and came in.

“Oh my… Siyoon-ah, you’ve grown so much~”

“hello~”

“Wow… didn’t he grow up so beautifully?”

We finished rehearsal, I changed into my school uniform and was getting my makeup done.

Maybe it was because it had been a while since I had makeup done, but when I looked in the mirror, it felt like I had put a filter on my eyes.

My dad was shocked to see me.

“Where did my daughter go…?”

“What are you talking about? Don’t fuss and sit next to me.”

“huh…”

A makeup artist whose eyes sparkle as if she were a fan of her father upon discovering her father.

Dad was staring at me intently.

“It’s worn out, don’t look at it.”

“I don’t like it~ I have to keep watching~”

In the end, I even took a picture with my cell phone.

I sighed and watched the worker’s hands braiding my long hair.

Whirling, the braided hair was tied back.

“Oh… isn’t it pretty?”

As we chatted with each other, the makeup artist looked at me as if he was satisfied.

When the live session started, I walked into the class with my dad.

I waved goodbye to celebrities who were surprised as if they were seeing me for the first time.

“Hello~”

“Wow Siyoon… she’s become so pretty~”

Now people pronounce it correctly as Si-yoon.

My father and I stood in front of the teacher’s table and spoke.

“I’m Jiho from ‘Sweeping the Billboard’~ Nice to meet you.”

My dad looked like he was in his mid-30s, but after receiving treatment, he looked like he was in his late 20s again.

Because of my somewhat mature appearance, I had the image of being my father’s younger sibling.

“I’m the daughter of the man next to me. Do you know her name? If you’re curious, look it up.”

My dad always released albums the same way,

Since I have never been particularly active, Kang In-seong asked.

“Why haven’t you been on TV lately?”

“Um… I wasn’t originally going to go on air, but everyone recognized me anyway.”

The handsome man in front said.

“Right, Siyun will be noticeable even if she’s 300 meters away, right?”

“So, the problem is with Mom and Dad, because they are so similar, only good things about them.”

As I spoke with a chin rest and a smile on my face, it seemed like my father was also touched by me for the first time in a long time.

As I pretended to be pretty and recognized even overseas, the surroundings became quiet.

“Anyway, since she’s the daughter of composer Kim Ji-ho, she’s not the kind of person who should live quietly. That’s why I came out.”

Dad smiled awkwardly at me, then looked around and said.

“Also, Si-yoon doesn’t watch anything else, but he only watches this program.”

“”really?!””

“Yes, and even if I reveal my current situation, I want to do it on this program.”

I winked and put my finger to my eyebrow and then removed it.

And the handsome man in front spoke.

“Siyoon, do you have a boyfriend?”

“huh.”

“”what?!””

Even my father who was next to me looked bewildered, saying it was his first time hearing it.

“I’ve been close with Jihoon since kindergarten, and these days, I’m close with Kim Taeoh.”

“Ah… boyfriend?”

“that’s right.”

Dad sighing in relief next to me…

Kang In-seong, who was watching this, asked another question.

“Do you plan to appear on TV often now?”

“No? If you want to appear with me and your dad, your brother next door’s production budget will be ruined. Even if you want to appear cheaply, Uncle Jang Seong-man will stop you.”

A short man looked at me and said.

“Ah, you’re lying. You know that if you tell me, they’ll let you appear, right?”

“Hmm… Is that so? But I don’t want to do that because all the appearance fees go into my bank account~ Ahhh.”

“Dad, won’t you take it?”

I saw my dad smiling for a moment.

“Honestly, would you take it from a little boy with his nose buried in it?”

“”and…””

Suddenly an ugly man looked at me and said.

“What is your ideal type?”

“Not you.”

The ugly man was downcast at my firm answer, as expected.

“That’s too much testimony~”

This time, a barrage of questions began to be asked of my father.

People ask about the dance in Dad’s new song.

There was a video of me dancing with a mask on.

“It’s all about facial expressions!”

My father, who is in his late 30s, showed off his puppy-like looks and had a bright expression on his face.

As I looked at this pitifully, the celebrities who spotted me laughed.

And a short man found the watch his father was wearing.

“Wow… I thought something was flashing and a fluorescent light went off.”

Dad hurriedly covered his watch.

As people flock to check Dad’s watch, they see a golden crown.

Dad smiled and took off the watch and gave it to him.

“Wow… Bro, this must be more expensive than 4 years of your salary?”

Hearing that sound, the man with a lot of debt touched his watch with trembling hands.

“Is this debt forgiveness?”

I looked at that and said with a smile.

“Dad, I don’t wear that well… just give it to me~”

“no!”

Dad looked restlessly at the clock, like a child who had lent his toy to someone else.

“That’s what Siyun’s mom bought for me.”

People who rush to give it back as soon as Dad finishes speaking,

I looked at my dad and smiled.

“Wow… I lied to my dad on camera. That’s a lie.”

It wasn’t a lie, but my words made my dad a liar.

The sight of him fidgeting was quite cute.

People who got upset because they lied about their mother, but calmed down when I told them the truth.

“That was in Mom’s accessories section. I’m sorry for teasing you, so would you like me to give you a picture?”

“”…!””

What are Korean people so curious about about me?

Stories about how much some of my paintings were sold for were often featured in the news.

Let’s upload the ‘452’ drawing that we did with teacher Ko Min-su the other day to practice for the practical exam at Hanjong University of Arts.

The price of my paintings had doubled.

There are a total of 521 oil paintings I have painted so far.

Most people’s eyes sparkled because of my words.

I smiled and took the chalk and drew on the blackboard.

Because of my unstoppable movements, the members of the Brothers Next Door, including my father and I, took their seats and watched me.

After adding the light and shade, I shook my hands.

It took less than 4 minutes on average to complete one person, and everyone looked at them with their mouths open.

“Now~ It’s a gift. Don’t delete it, keep it~ We’ll check it in person?”

As the filming progressed for a long time, I was eating snacks under the table while my father was talking in front of me.

Six cameras filming me like that.

The focus was only on me.

Time passed while playing various games, and before we knew it, filming was finished.

“Please take care of Siyun.”

Dad said hello to the PD and then said hello to everyone one by one.
