Why do the main characters of romance comics and romantic comedies always start by bumping into each other?

In the past, that was a real question.

So, I’ve even imagined that all romance comics writers in the world might be suffering from an occupational disease that causes thorns to grow on places like their fingers if they don’t make the main characters collide with each other.

It was like that when I was young, when I didn’t know anything, but now I know.

The fact that there is actually a lot concentrated in that scene that seems meaningless and the author’s convenience.

Would you believe it if I told you that everything from the instincts of human beings, to the physical differences resulting from gender differences between men and women, and even to a psychological element called the swing bridge effect, are all incorporated in that one scene?

The man’s body is straight.

In comparison, women’s bodies are closer to curves.

What happens when things with such different properties collide with each other?

In order to draw a curve, the protruding side is bound to be pressed against the flat side.

What if the swinging bridge effect, which refers to the phenomenon of confusing the palpitation that occurs in psychologically unstable situations such as embarrassment or fear with liking for the other person, also overlaps?

At that moment, they completely recognize each other as members of the opposite sex.

What would happen if I threw a move against my brother like that, which may not seem like a big deal at first glance, but is actually quite carefully designed?

Even after going through that, will you still be able to look at me like a child, just a younger sibling, like you do now?

What should I do by talking?

Actually, I already knew.

…At least my brother sees me as a younger brother, not a woman.

It seems like it’s a side effect I’ve known since I was young… but I thought it would gradually get better over time.

Even if the thickness of what has accumulated over the years is as thick as the darkness, even reality cannot be denied.

Since I had no doubt about that fact, I tried to wait until my brother’s gaze towards me changed…

Today’s incident made me realize this.

What a relaxed and complacent thought that was.

So now it had to change.

If things don’t change now, all that awaits at the end will be despair.

That was why I brewed two cups of coffee, which I had never given even to my father, and placed a tray underneath them.

Of course, I didn’t forget to add ice to one of the glasses.

It might be a bit cold to eat in this chilly weather, but my brother would get hurt if he took the steaming food with him.

In addition, my brother’s preference from the beginning was ‘Mixed coffee and Americano must be iced!’

So, holding one tray filled with steam and the other tray holding the ice cubes inside that were making a clattering sound as they hit each other, my brother and I headed towards the warehouse where the woman was.

Is everyone really excited because it’s been a while since they’ve had proper Chinese food and they’ve even gotten their hands on a new ball and soccer shoes?

I don’t know if it was because it was new, but I almost got hit by the kids who were rushing after the ball that seemed to bounce even more, but somehow I was able to get to where the two were safely.

And what I saw as soon as I reached the front of the warehouse was…

‘···Hmph.’

It was a sight I could not bear to see with my eyes open.

Everyone knows that the two are lovers… but is it really necessary to show it like that?

The sight of the two of them inside a large bucket, holding each other’s hands and busily moving their feet, reminded me of a scene from a movie I saw once.

So I became more bitter.

Honestly… because it suited me well.

Oh Ra-hee’s appearance, which seemed to be very energetic at first glance, matched perfectly with her brother’s appearance, which had thick lines and a masculine feel, giving off the impression of a painting.

I’ve never had coffee before, but that’s probably why I keep feeling the bitter taste in my mouth.

Because of that, I kept trying to apply force to my chin… but there was no resistance.

Instead of resisting it, I used that strength to smile.

With a smile on his face, he approached the two who were immersed in their own world.

“Sister, brother.”

Then, when I called them both at the same time, was it only then that they noticed their presence?

The two of them, who were close together as if they were dancing some kind of ballroom dance, hastily pulled away.

And then, without anyone saying anything, he cleared his throat and said, “Hmm, hmm.”

The look, as if it had been planned in advance, was very annoying to the eyes, but I kept smiling nonetheless.

Rather, with a tighter smile than before… he revealed his business to the two who were glancing in this direction as if asking what was going on here.

“Are you thirsty from working? I brought some coffee, so please drink some of this.”

Probably won’t refuse.

There is such a thing as human sincerity, and looking at his red face, his throat seemed very dry.

“Here. sister. It’s hot so be careful.”

“···Thank you.”

Well, if this happens, this is essentially the end… and now all that’s left is the main game…

What should I do?

How should I fall here to make it look natural to others?

I slowly approached my brother, thinking again and again in my mind.

*****

‘As expected, Arira.’

Take a look at the effort I put into making coffee for my hard-working sisters and brothers in case they get thirsty.

Rahee seems to have been a bit surprised by Ari’s actions.

The expression on his face when he takes the coffee is so awkward.

Well, all Rahee saw of Ari today was that she was anxious to somehow be a sister-in-law.

I don’t know what kind of wind suddenly blew up, but Ra-hee, who had only seen Ari like that, could not help but feel embarrassed because she made coffee herself and offered it.

At this point, it would be nice for people to know that Ari is actually a good kid, even though he has a bit of a quirky side.

It must have been a moment when I was thinking about that and looking at the two of them captured in one angle with happy eyes.

Ari, who handed Rahee a paper cup with white steam rising, turned towards me…

‘···hmm?’

The bracelet that was sitting on my wrist suddenly sparkled.

[The bracelet’s effect is activated!]

It was right after that that a window of a type I had never seen before suddenly appeared before my eyes.

No, there has been no news for a few days, but somehow the effect is activated at this time…?

At the moment when my eyes widened in embarrassment, Ari, who was walking towards me while holding a tray in his hand, stumbled as if he had lost his footing.

“Ah…!”

Did he react unconsciously to the panicked voice that came out of Ari’s mouth?

Rahee’s eyes widened slightly as she was enjoying the warmth it gave her as she clutched the paper cup handed to her with both hands, and then she roughly threw the paper cup she was holding back and stretched out her hand towards Ari.

And just as Rahee’s outstretched hand was about to touch Ari’s body, Rahee’s foot, which was submerged in the foamy water, slipped backwards.

“Aaagh?!”

The sound of something falling loudly echoed through the warehouse we were in.

“Ugh…”

At the same time, I felt a stiff feeling in my back and the back of my head.

It’s a shame that the container we were using for washing was made of soft material, not hard. If it hadn’t been so, there would have been a big lump on the back of my head by now.

No, so what happened?

First of all, I remember seeing them lose their balance and fall and urgently reaching out.

As soon as I reached out my hand towards the two, my foot slipped forward unintentionally, and then I thought something like a star flashed before my eyes, and when I came to my senses, it looked like this.

Malkang❤️

···ok?

I felt a strange sensation in my palm.

Meanwhile, what was surprising was that the feel of my left and right hands was different.

I guess I should say that they both sound the same but there is a difference in the details.

If what I felt in my left hand was a soft and elastic feeling, what I felt in my right hand was an infinitely soft feeling.

That’s why I started putting strength into my hands without realizing it…

“ugh···❤️”

“Ugh…❤️”

The moment I put pressure on my hand like that, I instinctively realized the sound that flowed into my ears.

The identity of the things I am holding on to right now.

And as soon as my mind, which had been wandering in an unknown place like that, returned to its original place, what caught my eye…

“···When you say something nice, let it go.”

“Ouch…”

Rahee and Ari were soaked with foam all over their bodies.

The windbreaker I personally lent to Ari and the pure white blouse Rahee wore to look neat were soaked and sticking to their bodies.

At that strange sight…

“Oppa…❤️”

“Stop kneading and take your hands off…you perverted bastard…❤️”

‘What the fuck is this, the power of the bracelet…?’

I stopped admiring it.
