“Yeeun, let’s go!”

“Yes, sister, wait a minute!”

“Get ready quickly!”

“Oh, wait a minute!”

A week passed, and it was the weekend.

Jeong Ye-rin and Jeong Ye-eun were preparing to go out.

Unlike other siblings, the two maintained a close relationship like friends even after puberty.

Originally, sisters who did not have a large age difference were expected to grow apart as they went through middle school and high school and then become closer again when they became adults and started living separately, but this did not apply to those two.

The younger sister, Jeong Ye-eun, wore a white top and a long skirt, while her older sister, Jeong Ye-rin, wore a black top and jeans.

The two sisters headed to the department store. It’s a place with no reason to dislike it, as it has restaurants, clothing stores, cosmetics stores, and even an arcade.

The sun was shining outside and the sky was blue. They could hear the sounds of the city, cars roaring by.

Often a cool breeze passed by them.

On their first outing together in a long time, the girls planned to buy a few clothes.

-Wow… look over there. Are you sleeping?

-You’re crazy…

The sisters’ dazzling appearance attracted the attention of men around them.

And, the same goes for couples.

-babe? Where did you see it now?

-Oh, no, that’s it…!

Even men who had lovers could not freely move their gaze towards them.

After entering the department store, they were busy shopping.

We chose clothes that suited each other well, laughed and chatted to our heart’s content.

We also shared stories about our daily lives.

“Ye-eun, how are you and Jung-woo these days?”

“Huh? Jeong Woo? That’s right, I’m doing well.”

“We went for a walk together last time. How was it?”

“It was good. The air was fresh and it was fun.”

“Shall we go together next time?”

“Oh, no?! It’s okay for the two of us to go!”

“Puh, just kidding. A sister can’t interfere with her brother’s love life.”

“Wow, we’re not that kind of relationship…”

Jeong Ye-rin recalled the relationship between Moon Jeong-woo and Jeong Ye-eun.

They have always been close to each other since childhood, and are still close childhood friends.

The memories I made while running around the night market in my apartment.

Jeong Ye-eun always stepped in to help when there were people harassing the timid Moon Jeong-woo.

At some point, different emotions began to appear on the face of Moon Jeong-woo, who was always looking at her younger sister with a bright smile.

Since the three of them had been hanging out for more than a year or two, Jeong Ye-rin noticed the changes in Moon Jeong-woo faster than anyone else.

‘If it’s Jungwoo… he’s kind and treats Yeeun well.’

And, she had no intention of opposing the continuation of her younger brother’s childhood friendship with her younger brother.

I’ve seen her for a long time, and I thought her gentle personality suited her younger brother well.

The sisters’ parents also had good feelings toward Moon Jeong-woo. Because it was a close family to begin with.

In her view, Jeong Ye-eun also did not have feelings for Moon Jeong-woo.

The two always smiled when they looked at each other, and they had many memories they shared.

The crude necklace that Moon Jeong-woo and Jeong Ye-eun had bought together at the apartment night market was still hanging on Jeong Ye-eun’s door.

When she passed by her sister’s room, she often saw her sister smiling and hugging a doll.

Of course, that doll was the one I picked up after going to the arcade with Moon Jeong-woo. How happy he was that Jungwoo had chosen him.

Recently, there were times when we went out for a night walk just the two of us.

Whenever her younger sister came back from a walk with a bright smile on her face, Jeong Ye-rin was confident that the two would continue to be together in the future.

Sometimes, I bought Moon Jeong-woo a piece of cake from a nearby bakery, or received it as a gift and ate it with a happy smile before going to bed.

“Sister, how about this?”

Jeong Ye-eun’s words broke her out of her thoughts.

She was trying a denim skirt against her body.

It matched well as usual.

“Huh? Hmm… it suits you well. My sister will buy it for you.”

“Really? thank you, Sister! I’ll pick out clothes for you too!”

Jeong Ye-eun smiled brightly.

Jeong Ye-rin looked at that and laughed.

I wonder if it would be a waste of a few pennies for my cute little brother.

Seeing how happy she was, it was enough to invest in at least one set of clothes.

“Sister, this! Come out wearing this!”

Jeong Ye-eun presented a tennis skirt to her older sister.

“Huh? I think this is a bit too short.”

“If you have such a great body, why do you always cover it up?”

“You know. It doesn’t match my sister’s personality.”

“Chi, how did you get a boyfriend when you live so rigidly all the time?”

“Ha, Haram isn’t that kind of guy?”

“Haram oppa would like it better if you shortened her skirt, right?”

“Stop talking strangely. Anyway, I’m not wearing that!”

“Try it on.. Okay. Then what about this?”

The new thing she prepared was black skinny jeans.

“At this level, well… it’s worth wearing.”

“Is this going to stick anyway?”

“Well, it’s still a bit weird to show only bare skin..”

“True.. Okay, sister. I’ll buy you this!”

“Huh? Not yet – ”

“Hey, my sister bought me clothes! I want to buy one too.”

Yerin Jeong smiled happily.

Truly, he could not have been a more special younger brother.

“Okay. Thank you, Yeeun.”

.

After finishing shopping, they headed to the restaurant with a few paper bags.

“Ye-eun, what do you want to eat?”

“Hmm… I want to eat a hamburger!”

“What do you always say at home when you say you’ve gained weight?”

“It’s okay! If you eat delicious food, you won’t gain weight. I want to eat a hamburger and fries.”

Going out together for the first time in a long time, the two maintained a friendly atmosphere.

The weather was perfect, and nothing bad happened.

There was no problem at all.

“Hey, sisters. Do you want to come hang out with us?”

…Until a group of people approached them.

Hunting was a frequent occurrence.

Jeong Ye-eun and Jeong Ye-rin were people who had beautiful looks and knew how to decorate themselves.

Accordingly, I also knew how to deal with hunting.

Yerin Jeong spoke on behalf of her younger sister.

“Sorry, but we wanted to go out on our own.”

“Really? Hey, don’t bounce. Let’s have some fun together, okay?”

“What?”

“Let’s go together. Huh?”

“This is so crazy… won’t it go away?”

However, it was not common for people to stick with it until the end even if they expressed their disapproval.

When Jeong Ye-rin stiffened her expression and fired, they changed their target to Jeong Ye-eun, who was behind them.

“Hey, what about this one? I think you want to play with us?”

“I don’t like it. Go on your way.”

Of course, Jeong Ye-eun was not a weak person either, so she looked straight at them and responded.

“Let’s just go together. uh? Stop bouncing around. It’ll be fun. Huh?”

“Leave this!”

Finally, one of the men started using physical force. Jeong Ye-eun vigorously shook her wrist, but the man’s grip did not loosen easily.

“Hey! Don’t let this go!”

Jeong Ye-rin’s voice grew louder,

-What, what’s going on?

-Shouldn’t that be stopped?

People gathered together.

“Hey! Did you see it? Go on your way!”

However, they were often pushed back by the large, muscular men in the group. No one thought to come forward and help them.

The scuffle gradually became more intense.

Now they were yelling at each other.

“Aaaah!”

Gradually, the strength of the man’s grip on Jeong Ye-eun’s wrist became stronger.

At that time when no one shows any sign of backing down –

“I don’t like you guys. Do you want to giggle like that?”

Someone came into the crowd and said.

**

The moment when men surround Jeong Ye-eun and her older sister.

She recalled the night walk she went out with Moon Jeong-woo not long ago.

That night.

While walking here and there, I wanted to try a new path that day, so I went a little further out with Moon Jeong-woo.

Meanwhile. When I went near a dangerous neighborhood, problems immediately arose.

As big men surrounded me, I was scared in my heart… but when I was alone with Jungwoo, I had to protect him.

Since I promised that, I hid my trembling and raised my voice.

When the argument became so heated, surprisingly, Moon Jeong-woo seemed to be trying to protect him by sending him behind his back.

Isn’t this the first time I’ve seen something like this?

Jeong Ye-eun was in charge of saving Jung-woo, who was always being bullied.

‘Jungwoo was cool back then…’

But, funny enough, the first person she thought of was not her childhood friend, whom she had known for over 10 years.

Choi Do-hyeon.

They remembered him appearing out of nowhere, instantly chasing away the men who were harassing them, and then leaving with a smile on his face as they thanked him.

Jeong Ye-eun looked at the back of her older sister, Jeong Ye-rin, who was currently protecting her.

At that time, Choi Do-hyeon’s wide back was covered.

Wouldn’t it appear from somewhere and help again?

A glance that I inadvertently turned away. At the end –

‘…uh?’

The man she had been picturing in her mind just now was walking down the street.

Bright yellow blonde hair and slightly tanned skin.

Solid physique.

He was seen wearing black short sleeves and torn jeans.

A moment later, Jeong Ye-eun and Choi Do-hyeon’s eyes met in the air.
