I realized the moment I started weaving.

This may have been the best weaving of my life.

If I had avoided the positive older sister’s punch like this, I would have won a long time ago.

But why are you avoiding Sae-ah just now?

“Huh?”

huh?

Sister Sae-ah, who I avoided and saw again.

Sae-ah is also looking at me with her arms spread open, seemingly embarrassed.

My new middle school sister, who still looks a little young, but has shed her elementary school ways.

Certainly, her face has become much prettier, and she has grown taller and has a better body…

“Ahem. How have you been?”

“Why the damage?”

My older sister keeps talking with her arms spread out.

“Without me knowing?”

“In the original drama, when you meet someone after a long time, they hug like this?”

Sister Saea, who spreads her arms all the way.

“So you want me to hug you?”

“It’s normal to hug when you meet someone after a long time. Come quickly.”

Yeah. But it’s our reunion after three years.

I approached her with the intention of giving her a light hug, but Sae-ah hugged me tightly.

The feeling of a woman’s body on my chest as my older sister, who is almost the same height as me, hugs me tightly.

“Sister?”

“How have you been? You didn’t forget me, did you?”

“Sister, should we unpack this first and then talk?”

“Okay. I’ll let this be it for today!”

Looking at it this way, I don’t know what she’s going to do next, but Sae-ah released the hand that was holding me and took a step back.

“Ahem. You’ve grown a lot?”

“Pfft! Jaehoon, you’ve grown up? You’ve gotten taller, bigger, and more handsome? ”

“I’m a guy. I need to grow up.”

“How about me? Am I prettier?”

Sister Saea, who is spinning around while looking at me.

“Sister. Didn’t you say you hate Snow White?”

“…right? I just asked because it’s been a while since we last met?”

“Well, you’ve become pretty. But where are you going?”

“Are you on your way to meet Jaehoon?”

“Am I on my way home?”

“Okay, let’s go. My mom is at Jaehoon’s house too.”

I headed home the same way I was going, with my older sister Sae-ah following me.

“You didn’t want to see me?”

“What sometimes?”

“Really? I really wanted to see Jaehoon? I’m glad you wanted to see him though?”

“Ahem. Okay, let’s go quickly.”

Let’s open the door and enter the house.

My mother-in-law, who was sitting on the sofa chatting with my mother, got up when she saw me.

“Son-in-law! How have you been?”

“I’ve been doing well. How’s your mother-in-law doing?”

“Then! My son-in-law has grown taller and more handsome since I last saw him?”

“I’ll be a middle school student next year, so I have to grow up.”

My mother-in-law, whom I hadn’t seen in a long time, didn’t look much different from three years ago.

“That’s right, it should be bigger! Did you meet your daughter earlier?”

“Yes. I met him on the way here.”

“Oh my. I saw that in a drama, and when I first met you, you were like, “Oh! Have you eaten?””

“Huh? Did you eat at school?”

My mother-in-law’s words, which made me wonder if she was waiting to hug me, turned into food.

“We decided to have dinner together later? I want you to know about it.”

“Yes. Then I’ll change my clothes and come back.”

“Mom. But what about Ye-eun?”

“Yeeun said hello to Sae-ah and her mom and went out to meet her friends.”

My mom spoke to me as I went into my room, changed into comfortable clothes, and came out.

“Son. Are you going to buy a cell phone?”

“Huh? Suddenly?”

“Since Saea’s mom and Saea-do are living together, let’s go together.”

“You want to buy mine too?”

“Sae-ah is here too, isn’t it hard to talk to the positive person?”

“But I have no one to contact besides those two?”

“I’m going to be a middle school student next year, so I have to buy one.”

“Okay.”

I didn’t really have any use for a feature phone that wasn’t a smartphone and it was a hassle to carry around, but I definitely felt like I needed one now.

Perhaps because I was seeing my mother-in-law for the first time in a long time, I left the house with my mother, mother-in-law, and new sister, who were all ready to go out.

“But Mom, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you, Sae-ah, but you don’t have much to say?”

“Huh? We met earlier. You were at my house and then you stopped by for a bit and came back? ”

It seems like he was waiting to hug me.

When I looked at Sae-ah, Sae-ah looked at me with a smile as if asking what was wrong.

“Oh my. Son-in-law! Did you hug well?”

“Mom!”

“My son-in-law noticed it just by looking at me. ”

“Yes. I did it somehow.”

“How is it? Sae-ah, you’ve grown a lot, right?”

“Yes, right?”

“Sae-ah, you were still popular abroad? Your son-in-law must know that too~”

“Haha yes.”

As the mother-in-law finished speaking, which was half-joking and half-serious, the mother listened.

“Sae-ah’s mom. Our Jae-hoon is not ready yet.”

“Hey, Jaehoon is all grown up now?”

“I’m still in elementary school. What kind of relationship are you in?”

“Then, if you become a middle school student next year, will you agree?”

“We’ll have to think about that when we get there.”

The conversation between my mother and mother-in-law continued, and I followed along while listening to what my sister Sae-ah and my parents had to say, and we arrived at a cell phone store.

“Son. How about this?”

“It’s a hassle to even open it, so why turn the screen around and use this instead?”

After looking around the cell phone display area, I chose the so-called Goara phone because it looked the best due to its simplicity.

“That’s right. That’s the best.”

“Mom, let’s do that too!”

In the end, I ended up buying a new phone for my mom and for Ye-eun too, so the whole family ended up using the Goara phone.

My mother and mother-in-law filled out some simple paperwork, left the store, and headed back home.

“Jaehoon, give me your phone!”

“Here.”

My new sister returned my newly purchased cell phone after fiddling with it a few times.

What did you do? I looked at my phone and saw that I had saved my sister’s number.

-Sae-ah♥

After confirming that it was saved, I closed my phone and put it back in my pocket. When my mother-in-law saw it, she asked if I looked strange.

“Son-in-law? You don’t say anything even after seeing the heart?”

“I call my mother-in-law ‘mother-in-law’, but what’s the big deal?”

“Oh! That’s true.”

During that time, I felt the void left by my older sister Sae-ah a lot and I couldn’t help but feel drawn to people.

It’s just that we’re still young, so I’m avoiding you.

Even my mother, who knows that if I didn’t like my older sister, I would have done anything to keep her away from me.

As expected, he knew what I was thinking and just watched me without saying anything.

So we all headed home together.

Even after returning home, the conversation between my mother-in-law and my mother continued without end.

Since I had nothing to do, I went into my room and checked the stocks as usual. Behind me, my older sister Sae-ah followed me in and was sitting on the bed.

“Yeeun said that Jaehoon felt really empty without me.”

“What… was it empty?”

“Did you feel very empty?”

“A little?”

“But you even kissed?”

“…..”

I quietly focused on the stock window.

“Where did your father-in-law go?”

“Dad went to work.”

I looked at my watch and saw that it was only 5pm.

If it were like usual, I would have taken a nap, but I felt guilty about kicking out my new sister, whom I hadn’t seen in a long time, and taking a nap.

I’m feeling sleepy, but I guess I’ll wake up a little after going for a walk.

“Sister. Shall we go for a walk together?”

“Huh?”

“There’s still a lot of time left for Dad to come, and isn’t there still a lot left for Father-in-law?”

“Yeah!”

“Mom. I’ll be back in a minute.”

“Son! Can I see mom for a second?”

I followed my mother into the bedroom without saying a word, seeing her serious expression.

“Son.”

“Huh?”

“No matter how much I think about it, Mom can’t figure out why her son doesn’t make friends and doesn’t let anyone get close to him. But is it different for Sae-ah?”

I was left speechless by my mother’s words that suddenly hit the nail on the head.

“Mom knows that her son is smart. But does he know that he is too indecisive with Sae-ah?”

“…..”

“My son is also with me because he likes Sae-ah, right?”

“…..”

“You’ve been saying you like your son for years, but your son should clearly tell you what he likes and what he doesn’t like.”

“Why all of a sudden? You said you didn’t like it even when you went to buy a cell phone? ”

“Mom, you probably don’t want your son to date even when he’s an adult. But still, you can’t do that to your son.”

“…..”

“Before Sae-ah went abroad to study, my son was 10 years old, so that could be possible. But my son will be a middle school student next year, and Sae-ah will be 15. Does my son know what I mean? ”

“Okay, I understand. I’ll think about it and then speak.”

“Okay. Be careful when you go out and come back.”

My mother’s expression as she spoke while stroking my head seemed warmer than usual, but also a little bitter.

“Mom. But why did you suddenly say this now?”

“Huh?”

“No. I heard it. Can’t you do it later when you’re alone?”

“Son. Aren’t you going to fight with Sae-ah because Sae-ah is acting up right now?”

“Huh? What are you talking about? What are you fighting about?”

“You hugged me earlier, but you did something like that again and fought? Your expression didn’t look good?”

“That’s not it? Is that the expression on your face when your dad wakes you up at night?”

“That’s right. They have similar expressions?”

“I’m sleepy, Mom.”

“Huh? Then what about Saea?”

“Why, Sae-ah? I’m sleepy, so I’m going for a walk to wake up. ”

“Haha no. Have a safe trip?”

As I left the room with my mother, my mother-in-law and my new sister looked at me with curious expressions as to what was going on.

After saying goodbye to my mother, I said goodbye to my mother-in-law and told her that I was going for a walk, and left the house with my older sister Sae-ah.

“What did your mother say?”

“No. I just didn’t say anything. Do I look tired?”

“A little? Why are you sleepy?”

“Is it because it’s time to take a nap?”

“Then can I just sleep?”

“It’s been a while since we last met, so it’s a bit strange.”

“Or can we take a nap together?”

“Oh my. What are you talking about? ”

“No. You can sleep in your room and I can sleep on the sofa, right?”

“…..”

“Did you think about sleeping together?”

“No.”

“Wow~”

I ignored the gaze of my older sister Sae-ah, who was looking at me with interest, and walked quietly down the street.

I couldn’t help but ask because my mother’s words kept coming to mind before I left.

“Sister.”

“Huh?”

“Why do you really like me, Sister?”

“Um… You said it was love at first sight?”

“Is that really the end?”

Sae-ah, who was looking into my eyes, seemed to be thinking about something and then started talking.

“Do you know when I first saw Jaehoon?”

“When I was eight, my sister would have been ten.”

“No, you saw Jaehoon when he was five?”

“Huh?”

“The first day you saw Jaehoon, he hit you in the back of the head?”

“Did you see that?”

“I saw it. I thought you were going to cry, but you didn’t?”

“That’s right, you shouldn’t cry over something like that.”

“Without even telling the teacher?”

“Huh?”

“Have you been watching since then?”

“Continue?”

“You see it in kindergarten and you see it when you go home?”

“But?”

“Maybe Jaehoon liked it from then on?”

“Huh? So you liked me since I was five?”

“That’s right. You just kept watching from afar?”

“Huh?”

“You saw him when he went to kindergarten, and you saw him in kindergarten too, and you even went to school with him when Jaehoon was eight?”

I racked my brain over the words of this stalking confessor.

So that means you’ve been following me around since you were five.

When I was five, it was 1999 and there was no social awareness of stalking, right?

“Sister. You know you shouldn’t follow people around like that, right?”

“Of course it was like that when I was young. If it’s like that now, you know there’s a problem~”

“Really?”

“I just said that because I thought you were misunderstanding something.”

“What?”

“Because I like you for no reason. You asked me because you thought I’d leave you later for no reason?”

“No? I was just asking?”

“Anyway, I’ve liked you for 8 years. Can I confess now?”

“Huh? What are you talking about?”

“You didn’t come out for a walk to confess?”

“No?”

“…..”

I don’t know why people around me are so mistaken today.

After a strange misunderstanding with Sister Sae-ah, I headed home.
