Episode 63

“Why did you tell me everything honestly!”

Lying face down on the bed, flapping her legs, Joo Da-sol regretted her actions.

Joo Da-sol, who found out a few days ago that the person she was fighting with on a game community bulletin board was her older sister, still hasn’t recovered from the shock of that time even after some time has passed.

Strictly speaking, it might not be appropriate to call it a shock.

What’s driving her crazy right now isn’t the fact that the person she was arguing with on the message board was her real sister, but that she confessed that she fell in love with her sister’s boyfriend at first sight.

“Haa. Sister, you must be angry too… ?”

It would be a lie to say that I never hated my sister, who had everything I didn’t, despite having the same looks and appearance as me.

But still, my sister.

He always supported and cheered for his younger sister who was not good at everything, and when things didn’t go well, he quietly came to her side and mourned with her.

My older sister, who has never hesitated to give up anything she wanted since she was little, even if it was something precious to her.

Even though we hated each other at times, we were still precious family.

“No matter what, my boyfriend is different, my boyfriend!”

The face my sister showed me when I confessed that I fell in love with Lee Seon-woo at first sight still flashed before my eyes.

Joo Da-sol thought that she would never forget her sister’s face, which was a mixture of shock and bewilderment.

At the same time, I hated myself for continuing to wish I could meet Lee Seon-woo just one more time, even though I knew I shouldn’t.

“… … Should I die?”

In some ways, it is a love that cannot and should not be realized, even more than Romeo and Juliet.

Joo Da-sol sincerely thought that it would be better to die than to spend the rest of her life suffering as if her heart was being held by someone and to be a nuisance to her beloved older sister.

It was at that moment that her phone rang.

“Huh?”

Joo Da-sol’s upper body suddenly shot up as she checked her phone without thinking.

There was a message.

From Lee Seon-woo.

[Hello? I’m Lee Seon-woo, your boyfriend.]

“Huh, uh, uh, why?!”

Although she didn’t know what was going on, Joo Da-sol realized that she had to answer since she had already read it, but she couldn’t say anything.

Meanwhile, the chatting continued.

[It’s just that while I was talking with my older sister, we were talking about going out to hang out together. So I got her number and contacted her.]

“Let’s play?! Me and that person together!?”

The phrase “big trouble” flashed through Joo Da-sol’s head. There were many problems surrounding this, but the biggest one was the clothes.

She is a reclusive loner. She hasn’t bought anything for going out in years.

[It won’t be that hard since it’s a light outing. Of course, if Dasol doesn’t like it, you can postpone it until the next time.]

“I don’t like it! No, it’s not that I don’t want to go out, I just don’t like what’s next!”

There was no way that something like that would happen. Even if Lee Seon-woo was lucky enough to make the offer again someday, at least I didn’t have the courage to make the offer.

Joo Da-sol realized.

This means that the moment has come to make the decision of your life.

She typed out her reply with trembling hands.

[great.]

[jeon.]

[Going out to play.]

[thing.]

Joo Da-sol swallowed hard and stared at the screen, thinking to herself that she had answered like an inferior AI robot.

The answer came back immediately.

[Okay. Then I’ll pick you up with my sister tomorrow around lunchtime.]

My heart was pounding like it was going to burst.

I checked it several times, but I didn’t read it wrong.

It is said that Lee Seon-woo will come and pick her up in person.

Like a prince on a white horse running to welcome the princess.

… … That might not be entirely wrong, since the car is a Porsche.

“Hey, Mom!”

Holding her cell phone tightly, Judasol opened the door and went outside to look for her mother.

Normally, I would have had to worry for days and work up the courage to go out, but I didn’t mind that kind of fear.

Because there was something more important than anything else.

“I want to go buy clothes!”

“What!?”

As a side note, that day a certain department store achieved its highest sales ever thanks to a mother and daughter who suddenly showed up.

—

So I decided to eat it. Of my own free will.

However, my anxiety had not completely gone away, so I had to ask questions while glancing at the passenger seat while driving to Seol-ha’s parents’ house.

“Are you sure it’s okay?”

“It’s okay. Mom and Dad both agreed on it.”

I know it’s not my place to say this, but this house is seriously out of order.

How can you tell your daughter’s boyfriend to eat your remaining daughter too?

“Considering your reaction the last time you went there, I think even if your father gave in a hundred times, your mother must have been strongly opposed to it.”

Actually, that’s a reasonable reaction. But Seol-ha shrugged and said that it was only the beginning.

“I think she went shopping with Dasol for the first time in her life after her brother suggested she go out yesterday. She was so excited that she called me, and she seemed like she would welcome me even if I went there naked.”

It might actually be possible if you use common sense, but even for a country like mine, that’s a bit much.

“What did your father say?”

“It’s better to give it to a proven crazy person than to a loser.”

Should I be happy about this?

Originally, I didn’t plan on going this far. Since it was a mental illness, I thought it could be easily cured by changing my perception, just like in Yein’s case.

However, on the day I heard the story from Seol-ha, I was flustered as I was trying to change Dasol’s perception.

[Unable to change perception.

The subject’s self-loathing, self-denial, and depression are at extremely dangerous levels. It is at a level where cognitive modification will not be applied.

It is impossible to change the subject’s perception of themselves without changes to the external environment and common sense.]

In other words, it meant that the towing was much more severe than before.

Dasol also tried to create a positive world by changing common sense, but failed for the same reason.

In the end, it was up to me whether Dasol could return to normal or not.

“He looks exactly like me, so I guess it’s okay if he thinks he’s with me?”

“I’m not worried about that, though.”

Is it because whenever a problem arises, it is easily solved with the power of the app?

I felt nervous and my shoulders felt heavy because I thought I had to solve it myself.

If something goes wrong and Dasol gets hurt, the repercussions will also affect Seol-ha.

But if things would just work out smoothly just by worrying, there would be nothing difficult in the world. While I was worrying, I arrived at Seol-ha’s parents’ house, got out of the car, and went inside.

“Oh, you’re here… ?”

“Oh?”

“Wow!”

The one waiting for me and Seol-ha there was Dasol, who had become incredibly pretty, but she was adorned from head to toe in a completely different beauty from last time.

It’s natural since they’re twins, but looking at it like this, it really does seem like there are two Seol-Has.

Seol-ha also got very excited and ran over to her younger sister, who she was seeing for the first time.

“Dasol, you’re so pretty! Did you do your hair too? The style suits you really well! Did you choose it?”

“Oh, no. Most of them were chosen by my mom… … ”

Dasol seemed to not feel bad about Seol-ha’s excited appearance either, so she answered with an awkward smile.

Now, if you just change your hunched posture a little, you might not be able to tell the difference between Seolha and Seol.

Well, I’m sure I can tell the difference.

“Let’s go shopping together next time! What do you think, Oppa? Our Dasol is really pretty!”

“Yeah.”

I expected it to be decorated, but I didn’t know it would be this bad.

I don’t know if it’s because I’ve become similar to Seol-ha, but thanks to that, I’ve also lost a lot of my tension.

Not only that, it even feels quite exciting.

“I, that, so where are we going…?”

I thought this was it, but it didn’t seem to be the case.

Even though her appearance had changed, Dasol couldn’t even meet my eyes because her insides were the same.

Seol-ha seemed to have the same impression.

“Let’s eat first! My brother and I have made reservations at a fancy restaurant!”

I took Dasol out again with Seol-ha, who spoke more cheerfully than usual, and got into the car.

While driving to the restaurant I had a reservation at, I glanced at Dasol through the rearview mirror.

It was obvious from his actions that he was extremely nervous.

“By the way, did your mom and dad go out?”

“… … Oh, yes! Oh, Mom went to Pilates and Oh, Dad went to play golf! ”

Even though he was flustered and his voice cracked slightly at the question, it was heartwarming to see him answer properly.

Why do I feel so proud? Is it because I look like Seol-ha?

When we finally arrived at the restaurant and stood in front of the elevator, Seol-ha looked at her cell phone and shouted.

“Oh no, I’m in trouble. I had an assignment due at school, but I completely forgot it was due today.”

What kind of rap are you doing?

He speaks without even taking a breath.

Even though Eun-i and I practiced so hard, her acting while reading the Korean textbook never improved.

It was a performance that made me realize anew that the world does not give everything to one person.

I was worried that Dasol might notice this, but contrary to my worries, Dasol was genuinely worried about Seol-ha.

“Uh, is that, is that okay?”

“No, no, it’s okay. Sorry, but I think I have to go first. I’ll join you again when I have time!”

“Ugh, yeah!”

I don’t even know what you’re saying, but how is the conversation even possible? Are you sisters in sync?

I don’t know much because I don’t have any siblings, but I’d like to ask if siblings originally have such an accessory function.

Seol-ha left like lightning, and only Da-sol and I were left. Da-sol blushed and muttered something, as if she had just realized that it was just the two of us.

“… … Shall we go back…?”

“Huh? Why?”

“Well, my sister is gone too… … It’s no use being with someone like me… … ”

I know why you’re telling me to go back, but that’s why I’m taking a stance here where I don’t understand English.

In this case, I thought that giving her a choice was not a good idea. It would be more comfortable for Dasol to take the lead while being as considerate as possible.

“Don’t say that. I came out today because I wanted to hang out with you.”

“Me, me and…?!”

“Seol-ha said she’d join us later when she had time, so she’ll probably come while we’re playing. Let’s go eat for now.”

I didn’t understand exactly what he said, but I had roughly phrased it that way, so I guess I wasn’t wrong.

Still, I grabbed Dasol’s hesitant hand and pulled her closer.

“Let’s go. The food here is delicious.”

“Yes, net!”

Dasol, who was holding hands with a man for the first time, seemed to be already overloaded.

The sight was so cute that I blinked as I was about to take out my phone and take a picture.

Because the app started working on its own when I pointed the camera at Dasol, who was bowing her head.

[I made direct contact with the secret character!]

[The secret character shows great affection for you!]

[Launch girlfriend hunting!]
