After returning, I placed the bag of rice on the table and leaned against the wall, staring blankly at Yusuah.

“… … .”

Soon, even the sensor that had been brightly illuminating the front door fell asleep, and Yusoo-ah, who had been silent for a while, opened her mouth in a low voice.

“What should I say about Haru? She seems to resemble my senior… no, the chairman’s older sister.”

“Do you know my sister?”

This is the first time I’ve heard this.

That would be the case, since there has never been an opportunity to talk to Yusoo Ah alone like now.

“He was my senior at the academy. He was a senior I did club activities with.”

◦If it is a %◦ activity… .”

Academy.

By the way, I think Yusua also belonged to a guild.

The chairman’s older sister, ‘Binghee’, was known as a promising prospect in the guild, and Yoo Soo-ah is known as the most commonly found body-enhancing ability user.

“It was a strange department called the Resolution Department. Now that I think about it… The seniors who helped people without any conditions, and I who reluctantly dragged them along but stayed until the end, they were all strange people. ”

Yusua smiled faintly, fidgeting with the hands she had gathered near her lower abdomen.

“Then you’re saying I look like my sister… .”

He emphasized the word “weird” twice to make a strong appeal, but I wonder if this was a prelude to that.

“Oh, that’s right. I still get the feeling that Haru is a weird person! I can’t explain it in words… but actually, their faces are very similar! Oh, would you like to see a picture?”

Yusua waved her hand and turned on the front door sensor, then took a photo out of her wallet.

Yoo Soo-ah, who looks like a pretty girl from the sports world with a fresh and innocent look, and a pretty girl with a fresh and innocent look who looks like a mix of my appearance and that of the chairman.

Oh, of course I’m not saying that I’m a pretty girl! No… maybe that’s a little bit true…?

Anyway, the two of them were standing a little bit apart, and while the older sister was smiling brightly, Yusoo-ah was standing there blankly with an expression on her face as if she had bitten a bug.

“Somehow it seems like we weren’t on good terms… .”

“Well… We didn’t get along very well in many ways. Of course, if we had met now, it would have been different… No, but since I met you then, I would have changed like I do now… .”

There was a hint of sorrow in Yoo Soo Ah’s smile.

The person who left and the person who was left behind.

Breakups are always heartbreaking, even for someone as positive and cheerful as Yoo Soo Ah.

“Any action that leaves one’s seat during work hours is… .”

While we were concentrating on the photo with different thoughts, someone quietly approached us from behind.

“Hoe, Chairman, that’s not it! Joo, thank you for buying me something to eat… .”

I interrupted the chairman, saying it was a misunderstanding.

I couldn’t just let the chairman scold the person who bought the food because he was worried about him.

“… Let’s skip this one.”

“Ah, I see! To the location!”

The chairman nodded with a light sigh, and Yoo Soo-ah straightened her back and shouted vigorously.

And then, as I was about to go out, he stuck his face out from beyond the door and gave me a word.

“Mr. Chairman, you have to take care of your own health!”

“… I know without you saying it.”

Boom!

Is it because the chairman is up, or is it because he is doing that on purpose in front of the chairman?

Yoo Soo-ah, who had knocked more than 100 times in case the chairman woke up, disappeared with a loud noise as if the door was going to break.

The chairman and I were left at the entrance.

“I wonder if I was talking nonsense… .”

The first person to break the silence was the chairman.

“Oh, no… ! That’s not it… Uh… I was just talking about my sister… .”

“Is that so… .”

As it was a story that could not help but be told cautiously, there was a hint of hesitation in his voice.

“If you don’t mind… Could you tell me a little more about your sister?”

But I wanted to know.

Even if I hadn’t heard it at all, I couldn’t just ignore it once I started to care.

Because it’s a story about the future, the chairman, and my precious family.

“Even if it’s about my sister… .”

“Personality, memories… There are so many, right… ?”

No. The chairman is in trouble, so why are you forcing me?

It’s always like this. I always think ahead and end up hurting others. I don’t think this is what my mother meant by ‘touch’.

“Yoo Soo Ah said that I look like my older sister… .”

He muttered quietly, his spirits fading. It must have been a topic he didn’t want to bring up.

“Useless talk… .”

“Use, it’s not useless!”

I know my faults best. I also know why the chairman dismisses my sister’s story as nonsense.

I know… .

Even though I knew everything, I found myself sobbing while holding onto the chairman’s clothes.

“I… Actually, I want to get to know the chairman more than my sister… .”

The chairman’s eyes turned to me.

The chairman’s eyes, filled with sorrow, soon closed tightly with a look of resignation.

“… Okay. Then I’ll make sure to find a suitable seat.”

A seat… .

Are you saying you’ll do it next time?

I followed him quietly, letting go of the chairman’s clothes.

So the two of us quietly headed to the kitchen, where the chairman took something out of the wine fridge in the corner.

What can I say, it was wine, of course, since I took it out of the wine fridge.

“Come on, Mr. Chairman, you shouldn’t drink alcohol!”

He was so surprised that he shouted at the chairman to stop him.

But the wine in his hand looked expensive at first glance, so he couldn’t grab it by the arm and shake it or take it by force.

“It’s okay, I’ll moderate it.”

The chairman took out two wine glasses and set them on the table, then took out pumpkin porridge and red bean porridge from the bag that Yoo Soo-ah had brought.

The chairman’s message of wanting to talk even under the influence of alcohol.

So you forced me to do something that was that difficult… .

I asked you to do it, so now is the time to turn it down. A glass or two of wine might actually help you sleep.

But there was one problem.

“I, I can’t drink at all… .”

The fact is that I can’t drink alcohol at all. I get so drunk after just one can of beer that I forget everything from the day before.

That day was probably the day I got a job at the guild. I was so happy that I drank alcohol like I never had before, and when I woke up, it was already the next morning.

Mirae, who had fallen asleep with a noticeably haggard face. Mirae woke up groaning, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she issued a drinking ban to me. I haven’t touched a drop of water since then.

“Haha, Haru Yang is still a child.”

…what?

“No, kid!”

But the chairman’s provocation could not be overlooked.

How old am I and you still treat me like a child!

What… I guess I should just pretend to drink little by little?

* * *

“I worked hard to get my sister’s approval…!”

As the chairman slammed his palm on the table, the enchanting crimson liquid in the wine glass overflowed.

“But… My sister fell for a strange guy…!”

A loud voice that makes you think that stress will be relieved.

“I… said that guy is no good…! How many times have I told you…!”

The chairman spoke passionately in a voice full of resentment.

“Black, slurp… .”

And then he started sobbing and shedding hot tears.

“Any man…! I wouldn’t have allowed it… .”

Soon, his eyes start to shine sharply and he exudes a cold atmosphere.

“Mmm~ It’s delicious.”

I savored the death with the chairman’s desperate appeal as background music.

This is Korean soup.

I was worried because there was no side dish, but the red bean porridge and pumpkin porridge were sweet and surprisingly went well with the wine.

This place is good. I should buy some and eat there sometimes.

“I worked so hard to get my sister’s approval… .”

If you ask me why I am distracted when the Chairman is talking about such an important matter, I would like to tell you that there is a reason for everything.

This is the sixth time.

Every time I empty a glass of wine, I say the same thing. I’m stamping the dot every five minutes.

It was so strange that I tried to taste it myself to see if there was something drugged in the wine, but when I drank it, there was nothing wrong with it.

Eventually, it was revealed that the chairman was extremely weak to alcohol.

What the… You teased me by calling me a kid… And now you can’t drink anymore… .

What the hell am I supposed to do!

“Haru Yaaang… Haru Yang, why did you call me unnie… .”

“The chairman called! Again, again! How many times!”

Finally, another story!

I happily asked the chairman. Because I was happy, I talked back and stuff.

“First of all!! I’m not the older sister, I’m the younger sister… !”

The chairman also did not give up and raised his voice.

You always act so noble and don’t show your emotions… but now you’re finally showing your true colors!

“Of course I don’t hate it… but I’m not your sister… .”

“Yes, yes, then I’ll be your older sister today!”

It couldn’t be better when the chairman is honest.

Moreover, she had such a plump and beautiful appearance that it was hard to believe she was in her 30s, so from my perspective, she looked like my younger sister.

“Our cute sky… Do you want to come here?”

“Oh, sister… .”

I wonder if this actually happened to your sister too.

The chairman came running towards me with his tongue hanging loose and his pronunciation slurred.

And when I hit his thigh hard, he sat down without saying a word.

“You’ve had a hard time… ? Today, hug your sister and get some rest! And oh… When you’re tired, sometimes rest at home… When you’re stressed, talk to Haru and get some advice… .”

I let my neatly organized, shiny short hair flow between my fingers.

Gororong, gororong.

I feel like I’m petting a black cat? Anyway, the chairman, who was sitting quietly, entrusting himself to my hands, was cute enough to be compared to the future, if I were to exaggerate a little.

“This day!”

“Yes, yes!”

Wow, even without exaggeration, it’s cute enough to resemble the future!

The chairman, who had been sitting quietly and dozing off, suddenly raised his head and roared.

“That person is the problem… . A strange person… … . A face that resembles my sister… And yet… Like an idiot… He’s only kind… … .”

Then, the chairman quickly lowered his head and muttered.

“When I look at it, I keep thinking of my sister… Then… .”

Then… Then… Then… .

The endings of the words kept repeating without stopping, and they became smaller and smaller.

As a result, I ended up not making a sound and just moving my lips, but that looked incredibly cute.

I couldn’t stand it anymore and just bit the chairman’s cheek.

Omnyumnyum.

Oh, Mr. Chairman, your face is so smooth.
