“Uh, what should I do?”

Jina was confused.

date? Is that what you mean?

The man and the woman I like go out alone, have a meal, watch a movie, go to a hotel…

‘What are you thinking?’

Jina shook her head vigorously, erasing the wild imagination she had just had.

The other person is that older brother.

It’s definitely a word that was said without thinking.

There was no way we could have dated since we were living in the same house in the first place.

Yes, it definitely will.

He must have just wanted to go out with me for the first time in a while.

…wait for a sec. But why me? There is Chaeyeon, and there is Yuna.

When Jina thought about that, she realized that her face became hot.

Before she knew it, the things she had been thinking about a moment ago no longer existed in her mind.

“For now, let’s calm down and think calmly.”

In many ways, I tried to suppress the thoughts that were running wild.

First of all, it’s a date tomorrow. No, it’s not a date, but I was sure that I was going out with my brother for the first time in a long time.

Although there is a clue that what happened just now was not her delusion or dream.

“…Uh, where are we going?”

Her brother would still be in the living room, so she could have asked him right away, but she didn’t have that option.

Because she knew very well that her face was a mess from crying so hard just a moment ago.

Jina, who was thinking of various thoughts in her confused head, thought of one person who could help her overcome this situation.

I called right away.

[Uh, Jin-ya, what’s going on?]

“I have a date tomorrow. What should I do?”

[date? Did you really end up with that oppa?]

“Uh, it’s not a date, but I guess it is.”

[If a man and a woman go out together, it’s a date. What are you talking about?]

Ye-seul only thought of Yoo-seong as Jin-ah’s older brother.

It was a disaster brought about by Jin-ah’s lie, as she did not want people to know that she was living at home with a grown man.

[Where is it? time is? What did you decide to do?]

“Nothing has been decided yet. We just decided to meet tomorrow…”

[hey. you stupid. What if I don’t ask you such an important question? Don’t you know that dating is a war between men and women?]

“Um, war?”

Yeseul’s voice over the phone suddenly became solemn.

It was similar to that of a leader preaching the truth.

[then. If we lose here, it’s over. In the end, we might never meet again, let alone date?]

When an average man or woman has a bad memory from a first date, future meetings become uncertain.

However, it was just an ordinary case, and it was very different from the case of Yoosung and Jinah, who always saw each other at home together.

However, to the ears of Jina, who is at the peak of her adolescence, this is the end. The only word was heard.

This is a meeting that took place almost a year later.

If I did something to be hated this time, I might never get another chance like this again in my life.

And for Jina, that was something she hated more than dying.

“B. Uh, what should I do? I will do anything.”

[Of course…for now.]

And so Gu Ye-seul’s dating advice continued.

For your information, this is really an unrelated story, but Goo Ye-seul was a natural single who had never had a boyfriend in 15 years.

However, since my hobby is reading romance books, I considered myself a romance expert.

And just like most dating beginners, she was someone who believed that pushing and pushing between a man and a woman was essential in dating.

“Why did you insist on meeting separately outside?”

The next morning.

Yoosung was waiting for Jin-ah in front of a nearby station.

This was because Jina, who had gone out together normally last time, asked me to go first and wait this time.

“…Why aren’t you coming?”

I waited in front of the station like that for 30 minutes.

No matter how much I looked around, there was no sign of anyone who looked like Jina.

40 minutes…50 minutes…

As time passed, I started to worry.

Did any accident happen on the way?

When I left home, I woke up fine and got ready, so I couldn’t have overslept.

The distance from my house to Hyeonan Station, where Yuseong is located, is about 10 minutes on foot.

Unless you’re late because of an accident, it doesn’t make sense to be this late.

He comes to that conclusion and is about to call Jina’s phone number.

“…I waited.”

“Why did you come so late?”

“Well, is that because the car is blocked?”

Jin-ah, who arrived at the meeting place late, lowered her head as if she was being ignored.

‘Dating is important from the beginning. First of all, we purposely go about 30 minutes late to get the momentum going.’

I followed my friend’s advice and showed up later than the scheduled time, but when I think about it, Yoosung and Jinah live in the same house.

In this situation, where both parties clearly knew each other’s circumstances, there was no way the excuse that the car was blocked would work.

Yoosung was not unaware of that fact.

However, I came out today to change Jina’s mood.

There was no need to spoil the mood from the beginning by pointing out that fact.

“Really? Then there is nothing we can do.”

“…Really?”

“What can I do if the car is blocked?”

For a moment, Jina looked at Yoosung’s face, wondering if he was making fun of her.

However, he looked calm as if nothing was really wrong.

“I will be later than that for the movie. I think we should hurry up a bit, right?”

Yoosung checked the time on his phone and called Jina in a slightly urgent voice.

This was because the reservation time, which had been generously reserved, was running out due to an unexpected situation.

On the bus heading to a department store with a movie theater.

“I’m sorry about the breakfast, but I think I’ll have to pass, but it’s okay.”

“That’s okay.”

Jina, who was sitting next to Yoosung, felt burdened by people’s gaze from earlier.

I don’t know if it was because of her mood, but it seemed like the people riding up there kept looking in her direction from time to time.

“That…that.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Wouldn’t this outfit be too strange? I feel like people keep staring.”

“I don’t think so.”

Yoosung answered Jin-ah’s words without hesitation.

As Jina said, it is true that people’s eyes are turned towards Jina.

However, rather than the feeling of seeing a strange person wearing the wrong clothes, as she worried, it was closer to the look of admiration you get when you encounter a pretty woman on the street.

It’s easy to forget because Jina doesn’t usually dress up well, but the original version is always there no matter where she puts it. I think that if she grows up just a little longer, she will grow into a truly beautiful woman.

“I think it suits me very well.”

Jinah, wearing a light pink blouse and white skirt, was showing off her girlish cuteness to the fullest.

‘If you get a compliment on your clothes, say thank you honestly. Bonus points if you smile brightly!

Jina heard Yeseul’s advice from last night in her ears.

‘Wow, I have to laugh.’

I’m embarrassed.

When I received a compliment from my brother, my head got hot and I couldn’t think of anything.

It was difficult to even make eye contact, let alone say thank you.

“Oh, I’m not happy to hear that from you.”

In the end, the words that came out of Jina’s mouth, which she had been picking and choosing, were such old lines.

“Sigh.”

Yoosung, who heard that sound, thought Jin-ah was cute like that and made a noise without even realizing it.

Afterwards, the two arrived at the movie theater without any trouble.

“Popcorn is caramel onion?”

“Caramel. I’ll pay half too.”

Jina remembered the advice once again.

[The first date is always Dutch pay!]

“Where in the world is there a brother who speaks to his younger sister?”

Yoosung blocked Jina’s hand as she took out her wallet from her pocket.

Even if it is said that Jina can get money, the only way she can get money is the allowance she receives each month.

It’s not that he doesn’t have money, and he has no intention of touching the children’s money, which needs to be spent wisely.

I will also return the money I received from Yuna today.

“Jina, can you get the tickets I reserved for you while I buy snacks?”

Yoosung suggested to Jin-ah, who looked apologetic.

The movie theater was crowded with people for the weekend, so it was crowded with no room to move.

The waiting line was so long that there was a risk that Yoosung would be late for today’s screening if he bought snacks and issued a ticket again at the box office.

“Leave it to me.”

Yoosung handed the cell phone he was holding to Jin-ah, who seemed determined to do it this time.

When you scan the QR code on your phone screen at the kiosk, a ticket is automatically issued.

“…is this?”

Jina’s eyes widened slightly when she saw the screen.

This was because a movie with an unexpected title had been pre-ordered there.

“Save the Earth3. It’s a pretty old movie, but there was a movie theater that was still showing it. You like this series.”

“…I remembered.”

“Well, it’s such a unique movie, there’s no way you wouldn’t remember it.”

Yooseong thought for a moment about the movie he was going to see today.

It was a genre that was a mixture of many things, a comical SF time lapse about protecting the Earth.

When the male protagonist dies, he goes back to the past, and the positions of the stars in the universe change each time.

The last episode of series 2 was the appearance of an astronaut heroine in the middle and kidnapping the male protagonist, who had returned to the past for the fourth time, on a spaceship.

For reference, this movie had a rating of 3 on the Internet portal site.

I thought it was definitely going to fail, but it seems like there were quite a few people who liked the B-grade sensibility, so it barely passed the profit-making point.

The third series was released around the end of last year.

“I heard it’s really unique.”
