After a small commotion broke out in the store.
Ji-ah, who had a missing waist, and Min-ah, who was the cause of it, took a taxi and arrived at Do-han’s house.
By the way, Dohan stayed for a while to close the store.
“Jia. I’m sorry. I said something unnecessary… .”
“Okay, it’s okay. Ayaaya… .”
Jia, who was trying to get up to pretend that she was okay, screamed again at the sharp pain she felt in her lower back.
“Don’t move. Your muscles are probably startled… I’ll give you a massage.”
“Thank you… .”
Sigh. For some reason, Ji-ah felt a little sad, and as she received Min-ah’s gentle massage, she felt like she was going to cry.
“I’m really sorry, Jia.”
“It’s okay. I guess I slept face down at school all day today… so my muscles are stiff.”
“Heeeek.”
“Oh, sis. If you hug me like that… .”
“Mianae… .”
After a while,
The moment when the tear-jerking melodrama (Min-ah alone) ended.
Minah asked Jia again, quietly.
“So, what happened between you and Oppa? Ji-ah? Did you really confess to him?”
“No, that’s not it… .”
After thinking for a moment and trailing off, Jia finally told Minah what happened that afternoon.
“Actually, what happened was.”
.
“So, to sum it up. Ji-ah got mad at her brother who only put her down… and they made up, but somehow she ended up confessing and saying something ridiculous?”
“Yes… . I did take back what I said though.”
“But my brother who heard that doesn’t seem to care at all? That’s frustrating?”
“… .”
Nod.
‘oh my god.’
Complex and subtle emotions swirled in Minah’s heart.
I feel sorry for Jia, who is lying face down on the pillow with her head completely dead,
“… .”
The excitement that I felt somewhere in my heart while listening to the story.
…and a little annoyance towards my clueless, dumb older brother.
In other words, it feels like watching a morning drama right before your eyes.
“… .”
Mina said, quietly stroking Jia’s head.
“That’s right. My brother is like that. Sometimes he’s really quick-witted… But when it comes to love, he becomes an idiot and dullard.”
“Isn’t it just because I’m not attractive… .”
“Sup.”
Minah lightly poked Jia’s side with her finger as she continued to speak in a very timid voice.
“, it tickles… !”
“Don’t say that. Our Jia is so pretty. … And don’t you remember when she first put on makeup last time? You were acting all sloppy.”
“It’s pretty. It suits you well.”
… At Min-ah’s words, Ji-ah remembered Do-han saying that she was pretty.
“I don’t think it was that bad… .”
As a result, Jia had to force herself to keep the corners of her mouth from going up.
Of course, Mina saw everything.
“Whew. What should I do with this cute kid… If I were a guy, I’d be like, oh. Ah. I can’t stand it.”
Ugh.
“Eek… !”
Seeing Min-ah raising both arms and pretending to threaten herself, Jia crawled to the edge of the bed.
From experience, I knew that Min-ah, who had those eyes, was dangerous.
“Where.”
But there was no way that Jia, who still had a sore back, could escape.
“… Please, do it gently.”
“You seduced me first, Ji-ah.”
“That’s…!”
Min-ah said dangerous words and caressed Jia’s pure white cheeks here and there.
.
And then again a lull.
“Whew.”
“… This is too much.”
Min-ah is lying on the bed with a very satisfied expression, and Ji-ah is rubbing her cheek a little further away.
Jia wrapped herself in a blanket, creating a thin wall between herself and Minah.
Well, it was just a sand castle that would collapse as soon as the waves hit.
“Jia. Are you feeling better now?”
“… Yes.”
Zia, who had been slapped around like crazy, still had a more relaxed expression on her face than before.
Min-ah, who was looking at Ji-ah happily, soon opened her mouth.
“Anyway, my brother is so clueless that only Jia suffers.”
“… .”
“You’re usually really perceptive, but… strangely, when it comes to dating, you become dull, stupid, and idiotic, right? You’ve always been like that.”
“… Since a long time ago?”
“Oh. Even in high school, and before my brother became a police officer… he was quite popular. He was honest and kind.”
After hearing Min-ah’s words, Jia became lost in thought.
‘… The old man was popular?’
Is that it…?
Jia pictured Do-han in her head.
‘The old man is not handsome… no, he’s handsome to that extent.’
It seems like he usually just wears whatever he wants… but still, I can feel that he has a unique fashion sense.
Plus, the bartender outfit suits you better than you think.
Even if I say something nice, it’s a pain in the butt, and I’m so sincere that I go to work at the store the day after I catch a cold.
You’re so thoughtful that you even come to get an umbrella on a rainy day… Huh?
‘It’s stranger that it’s unpopular…!’
Gia suddenly started to feel anxious.
For reference, Jia is in a situation where she is being tricked by Dohan.
… that is, it was a state where normal judgment was not possible.
Then after a while,
“That… ”
Jia asked Minah in a small voice, as if she was crawling into a hole, while imagining a very beautified image of Dohan in her head.
“… Sir, have you had many girlfriends?”
“Huh? No… ”
Min-ah was about to answer Ji-ah’s question by saying, “As far as I know, I haven’t dated anyone.”
‘… .’
When she saw Gia looking anxious, she got playful and told an easy lie.
“Oh. That’s a lot. I think we dated almost once a month? Two-timing and three-timing are the norm, and a few months ago too… Huh?”
And then, glance.
Mina looked at Jia’s expression…
“Ji, Ji-ah! That’s a lie! Don’t cry! ”
… I immediately took back my words as I looked at Jia’s reddened eyes.
“Really…?”
“Oh! Seriously! Seriously, there was no one there! Probably.”
Phew. Zia lets out a small sigh of relief.
… seeing that kind of appearance of Jia,
‘Ugh.’
Mina made a firm promise to give her brother a beating when he came home.
***
‘I wonder if Gia is okay.’
After Jia suddenly hurt her back and went to a taxi with Minah.
I closed the store early and headed home.
Squeak.
“I’m back.”
Finally, I arrived home and opened the front door…
“Are you here?”
… I noticed Mina looking at me with her arms crossed and an uncomfortable expression.
“Hey, is Jia okay?”
“I gave him a cold compress and a massage, and he seems to be feeling a little better. He’s sleeping now.”
“Thank goodness.”
…I hurt my back while mopping the floor.
I wondered if it was because I made a kid who had even been to school do this work, and a feeling of guilt rose inside me.
“Come in first. Don’t just stand there blankly. And talk to me for a minute.”
“Uh.”
But why does Minah look so angry…?
Thud thud.
Without even knowing what was going on, I quietly followed Mina and sat down at the table in the kitchen.
Soon, a heavy atmosphere began to settle between Mina and me.
As I was carefully about to open my mouth to ask if she was mad at me, Mina spoke first.
“You know, oppa. You know I really like you, oppa.”
“…Why all of a sudden?”
“But there’s one thing I really hate. You know what it is?”
“What is it…?”
“Self-deprecation. I heard you got scolded by Jia this time.”
… Jia said.
“You really deserve to get in trouble. Hurry up and hit me in the forehead.”
I brought my forehead to hers as Minah said.
Exactly.
Then, Mina hit the nail on the head with her finger.
…For reference, it didn’t hurt that much.
“Okay. I’ll move on from this.”
“Thank you.”
“What do you mean thank you? We haven’t even started the main topic yet.”
“Wasn’t this the main point?”
“… Uh.”
Mina nods her head faintly to my question.
He has a very serious expression on his face, as if he’s about to start a more serious conversation than before.
Gulp.
What are you trying to say?
‘Are you saying that you have a boyfriend?’
… No way. Then the atmosphere wouldn’t be this serious.
After a while, Mina’s lips opened slightly.
“Brother, what do you think about Jia?”
“… … Huh?”
Because it was a somewhat random question,
I answered Minah with a slight embarrassment.
“What do you think? She’s just like a cute little sister. You know that too.”
But Mina frowned at my answer and said,
“… That’s not what I’m asking. Is there anything you can guess from what Jia said to you during the day?”
Any guesses…?
“Of course. Who wants to hear gossip about someone they like?”
The moment I heard Min-ah’s words, Jia’s slip of the tongue during the day briefly flashed through my mind.
“… .”
“I’m just asking. Seriously, do you think of Jia as just a cute little sister?”
“Of course… ”
… I had to end the sentence with, “I won’t do it,” but that didn’t work out well.
The slip of the tongue that I heard from Jia earlier this afternoon.
“Of course, family… Oh, not really family, but anyway. That’s not what I meant…! My words are slipping out of my mouth… .”
“What do you know…! Oh, really… This isn’t it… Go home quickly!”
… and even Gia’s flustered attitude as she tries to sort it out.
Ever since I saw that, one thought has been lingering in my head.
‘I wonder if Jia likes me?’
That is a presumptuous thought.
