Episode 59

I’m not saying this proudly, but I don’t really consider myself a conscientious person.

So, the discomfort I feel now may not be guilt, but an emotion that stems from human instinct.

Whatever the reason, I wanted to go home as soon as possible, but I couldn’t.

Because it hasn’t even been five minutes since I entered this house.

So I had no choice but to answer obediently.

“Yes. There are 5 people living together.”

“Ahem!”

Despite her age, Seol-ha’s mother, who looks surprisingly young, did not hide her discomfort.

Despite that, you don’t curse at me. Is it because you have the sophistication of a person from the upper class, or are you just so shameless that you’re speechless?

Either way, I’d like you to send me home.

“What else do you have to say about that? You knew about it and gave permission, right?”

The unexpected relief pitcher was none other than Seol Ha’s father.

Maybe it’s because we’ve met once before, but I feel somewhat familiar with him.

I wish you would stop looking at me with those eyes that seem to find it funny.

Naturally, Seol-ha’s mother became furious at this.

“I never gave permission! If you hadn’t given her that ridiculous request to live a normal life on her own in the first place, this wouldn’t have happened… !”

“Even if you say that now.”

Oh, it’s uncomfortable.

It’s incredibly uncomfortable.

I felt like I was going to die from the discomfort when the two of them started arguing.

Did they notice my feelings? Seol-ha shouted at the two of them.

“Stop it! What are you doing calling people! I said I liked it! I crawled into your house because I liked you, so why are you saying anything to me!”

For someone like her, she held back a lot before speaking, but because of that, I was confused as to whether I should scold Seol-ha or keep quiet, and my head was spinning.

Due to an experience I had never had before, I was lost and wandering around, and the place I ended up was the seat next to Seol-ha’s mother.

It was the seat of Seol-ha’s younger sister, who was looking at her cell phone with her head down.

“Hello? Are you Dasol? I’ve heard a lot about you from Seol-ha.”

Her twin sister, who looked exactly like Seol-ha but had a completely different vibe, glanced up at me before quickly lowering her head to manipulate her phone.

As I was feeling embarrassed because it was obvious that I didn’t want to mix things up, Seol-ha’s mother spoke in shock.

“You! Not only Seol-ha, but our Da-sol too!”

“Yes?”

I never thought about it like that, but thanks to what my mother said, I ended up imagining twin sister rice bowls.

this.

You shouldn’t get up now.

I’m crouching.

fizzle.

“No, that won’t happen.”

“There won’t be, you say? Why leave room for possibility in words!”

“… … That won’t happen.”

I’m already feeling tired, even though we haven’t even started having dinner yet.

Of course, if you hadn’t come at all, you wouldn’t have had to go through this.

However, there was also the call of reason that Seol-ha’s father had the grace of having received the house he was currently living in for a very low price, and even if that was not the case, it would be better to greet him properly at least once.

I decided that if I was going to come anyway, I might as well come quickly.

I regret it a little bit though.

“Oh, stop it. If you do that, our prospective son-in-law will get sick before we even eat.”

“Who is the reserve son-in-law! I don’t recognize it!”

Actually, it’s strange that my father is acknowledging it so easily according to common sense.

My father continued speaking, pointing at me who was standing still because I couldn’t cheer my mother on.

“Our prospective son-in-law is walking into hellfire on his own. If even one wife is crazy, this guy has four.”

“What does that matter… … Wait. Are you just saying that living with me is going to be crazy?”

“… … That’s not what I meant.”

I’m sorry, but that’s all I could hear, Father.

“You liked that bar girl more than me, huh? I forgot about that!”

“Why are you saying that again? Didn’t you just splash around in the water at the hotel with that parasitic swimming instructor?”

Wow. This is exciting. The chaebol family drama I used to watch on TV is unfolding right before my eyes.

No, come to think of it, I don’t watch TV at all.

More than anything, when I heard the word swimming instructor, I felt a sting. From now on, even if I do role-playing, I should not be a swimming instructor.

“I told you both to stop! What are you doing that’s embarrassing in front of me!”

Despite Seol-ha’s screams as she stomped her feet, the fight continued without stopping.

I really shouldn’t say this, but it’s funny to watch because it’s a stereotypical fight that comes to mind when you think of chaebols.

I gave up on going back early and had some free time, so I watched the three bickering in a half-observant mood, but the one who ended the fight was an unexpected person.

“… … The food isn’t ready yet? I’m hungry.”

The fight suddenly stopped when Seol-ha’s younger sister quietly blurted out a few words while looking at her phone.

“Oh, I see. Is it this late already?”

“Is our Dasol hungry? I asked the lady to make a lot of Dasol’s favorite things today, so eat a lot!”

“It’s been a long time since I had dinner with my family!”

What the heck. Is Seol-ha’s younger sister a better changer of perception than me?

Did you change everyone’s perception by using an app similar to the one I use on that phone you were using earlier?

Is that possible…?

I wonder if it’s there.

With such absurd thoughts in my mind, I headed to the restaurant with Seol-ha’s family, who had become harmonious as if nothing had happened.

“Okay, this is my brother’s favorite steamed chicken!♥”

“Oh, yeah. Thanks.”

I appreciate you taking care of it, but I wish you wouldn’t just give me all four chicken legs.

Not only is this not something a civilized human would do, but my father is looking at me with an extremely sad expression on his face.

“… … Would you like some?”

“Okay!”

It seems like you’re really upset. This is a big problem. The sadness over food lasts a long time.

The meal itself was ordinary and harmonious, except for the fact that Seol-ha’s father was upset that both his daughter and the chicken leg were taken from me.

That in itself is a good thing, but seeing them suddenly become friendly, perhaps because they saw them fighting earlier, gives me goosebumps.

Surely this family isn’t a family of psychopaths? Or is it? Was this what Seol-ha’s father meant when he said at the party before that “there is no normality”?

“By the way, are you giving up on working as an actor now?”

While the meal was continuing peacefully, Seol-ha’s mother asked a question in a slightly softened voice, so I quickly opened my mouth to answer.

“I’m not putting it off, but I’m having a hard time because I don’t have any suitable works.”

It’s not a lie. I’ve been getting a lot of offers since the original evil, but none of them really caught my eye, so I’m thinking of doing it again when Eun-i Yoo’s scenario comes up next.

“I see. Well, I guess rushing isn’t always good. Your acting was okay, so in order to prevent image consumption, it might be better to take your time and find something.”

“Oh, you saw it?”

At my words, Seol-ha’s mother opened her eyes wide.

“You didn’t come out and see it! You saw it because they said it was a movie that surpassed 10 million viewers!”

If you think about it, that makes sense. At that time, it wasn’t known yet that I was dating Seol-ha.

At that moment, Seol-ha’s younger sister, who had been quietly eating her meal, blurted out the words again.

“… … Mom, I heard that my sister’s boyfriend was in that movie, so I watched it again on VOD.”

“… … You? Oh, no, I was just checking to see what kind of bastard you were!”

You don’t deny that you saw it again.

“I saw it too. Especially the scene where you ride a horse and go on a surprise attack at night was a work of art. Speaking of which, since we’re talking about your job, are you participating in the fashion show again later?”

Thanks to my father’s gentle change of subject, I was able to engage in a somewhat more comfortable conversation afterwards.

But when it was time to go back.

Seol-ha’s mother made a truly frightening request.

“From now on, make sure to come with Seol-ha regularly. As the mistress of this household, I will personally judge whether or not you are a suitable person for my daughter.”

I had thought about it before, but I sincerely hoped that it would end with just beating him up, and I went back to my beloved home with Seol-ha.

—

My sister has become prettier.

That was Ju Da-sol’s impression when she saw Ju Seol-ha return to her parents’ house last time.

Needless to say, her older sister was originally pretty.

Even though she clearly had the same DNA, appearance, and physical appearance as me, she was always the only one who thought she was beautiful and cute.

‘But she gets prettier there. Where on earth does all that energy come from?’

I was curious, but at the time I just let it go.

Even though we share the same genes, I’ve felt deep down since I was little that my sister and I are different.

My older sister is always loved by everyone.

A sickly, gloomy, and sullen woman.

As for her looks and appearance, she was good-looking and had a diamond spoon, so many men approached her, but she only remembers running away every time.

She was afraid of people.

It wasn’t just because she was born with a weak body. The memory of being kidnapped for ransom as a child was a trauma that still eats away at her.

The only people I could be comfortable with were my family, but even they felt scary at times.

‘I’m sure I’ll never be able to open my heart to anyone in my life.’

That’s what I thought.

Until today.

That is, until I saw the man my sister brought home.

“Hello? Are you Dasol? I’ve heard a lot about you from Seol-ha.”

At that time, I really thought my heart was sinking.

It wasn’t just the gentle, soft voice that was conveyed to her, who felt like her heart was going to burst just by sitting in front of him, let alone making eye contact.

The male’s scent was faintly transmitted.

An appearance and body that can only be described as perfect.

All of this made Joo Da-sol, who had no experience or tolerance for men, feel strange.

That’s probably why I opened my mouth after half a year.

“… … The food isn’t ready yet? I’m hungry.”

His family was incredibly surprised, but they probably weren’t as surprised as he said they were.

Joo Da-sol sat at the table, trying hard to ignore the strange looks her mom, dad, and older sister gave her, and ate her meal in silence.

I couldn’t tell if I was eating with my nose or my mouth.

‘With that appearance, he’s a young CEO, a model, and an actor. He’s a total fraud.’

That cheat character is my sister’s boyfriend.

Because I thought the world was a piece of crap, I ended up saying it for the second time today without thinking.

After a while, my sister and her lover left.

Joo Da-sol, who came up to her room, was about to sit in front of the computer like usual, but she threw herself on the bed instead.

Somehow I didn’t want to do anything. I didn’t want to invest in coins, stocks, games, or watch movies or animations.

‘Sigh. Why am I like this?’

Thinking this was strange, Joo Da-sol turned on her phone as usual. But instead of going to an internet community like she usually did, she searched for Lee Seon-woo’s name in the search bar.

‘Jaime. This was his company.’

It seemed like they were currently servicing two games. Joo Da-sol thought about it for a moment and then downloaded both games.

‘Well, it’ll be enough to kill some time. If it’s not fun, I’ll just leave a bunch of hate comments.’

She launched the crashed game without even realizing that she had entered hell herself.
