“Why again.”

I answered my older brother’s phone call curtly.

Now that I know that the pregnancy was a lie, I try to avoid contacting my family as much as possible.

Because if the father finds out that the three of them aren’t pregnant, who knows how things will turn out.

Of course, I know that my father is not the type of person to say two things with one mouth.

But you never know, right?

I didn’t want to let all the hard work I’d put into getting permission go to waste.

– What are you doing?

“What, all of a sudden? Why are you doing this?”

– Phew, I was just asking how you were doing.

“So why are you suddenly asking?”

It’s not like that is my original personality.

Wasn’t it our way of understanding that if we didn’t hear from each other, it meant we were doing well?

– I asked because I will be enlisting in the military soon.

“A Mr.”

It wasn’t my brother’s fault, but I just got annoyed for no reason. My brother didn’t really say anything about it.

“We’re busy. It’s final exam period now. We’re pretty busy too.”

– How about studying?

“What, are you father? Why do you care about my grades? Are you studying hard since you’re going to the military soon?”

I’m just looking at the notes that Seo-ga organizes. Even though I tell her that she doesn’t have to give them to me, she stubbornly gives them to me.

To be honest, it didn’t feel realistic to be asked to think about what would happen after I was discharged when I hadn’t even enlisted yet.

– Yeah, I understand that feeling.

“Was it like this when you left too? Were you a bit depressed and stuff?”

– I didn’t show it off like you did. If I did, my father would be disappointed.

“I’m glad my brother is a filial son.”

When I praised him honestly with a smile, my brother let out an embarrassed sigh, perhaps because he felt embarrassed.

“Thanks to that, I don’t feel too guilty even if I hit my father with a nail.”

– Feel it.

The older brother sighed, realizing that it wasn’t a compliment, and then got back to the main point.

– My father is now retiring. He said that he can no longer remain in that position due to health reasons.

Even though he said he was going to the military, I didn’t think he would call to ask about my current situation.

“Yeah, are you feeling very unwell?”

– Not to that extent. Rather, it feels like he is forcing me to step down so that he can give me the position quickly.

“You’re pretending to be sick.”

– … … .

Since he had nothing to say in rebuttal, his brother just pretended not to hear and let it go.

– So now my father is sorting things out in many ways. He says that the universe he led and the universe I will lead will be different.

“Father?”

– Yes, father.

The voice of the speaking brother was light.

There was also a strangely excited atmosphere.

It’s not that he’s happy that the space group is his, but he’s happy that his father has acknowledged him.

“Huh, you really have changed a bit.”

– Yeah, I guess so.

The father, who was trying to pass the company on to the son who most resembled him, acknowledged the eldest brother’s unique way of doing things.

I guess something big changed with my stubborn father.

– If you suddenly have three daughters-in-law, wouldn’t anyone’s outlook on life be shaken?

“… … .”

– I was surprised too.

“Oh, so I contacted my sister-in-law.”

– what?

“If you make me have any weird rumors, I’ll kill you. I won everything, but if you learn from me and bring other women, I’ll really end you.”

– … … There’s no way that kid would do that.

“Right? I thought so too. She seemed like a somewhat intelligent career woman. But I guess she unexpectedly felt a sense of crisis.”

He doesn’t hesitate to use harsh words when reprimanding his brother.

“It’s your brother’s problem. You have to tell him that you love him properly. Like I do.”

– This is my problem? It’s not your problem for creating this situation?

“Ahem, can I hang up?”

I know that talking more won’t be beneficial to me, so I’m just going to hit him and get out.

My brother added that he was the last one.

– Come down to your parents’ house with the kids. They want to see you.

“Father? Or mother?”

– Both of you.

“Isn’t it right for me to go?”

– My mother has been doing 108 bows recently.

“Mom, you’re not religious.”

– I practice kneeling and apologizing to my daughters-in-law.

“… … Are you kidding?”

– Go and see.

“Oh my.”

Now I really want to stop dragging on, so I’ll summarize the story.

“Okay. I’ll take the kids later.”

I don’t really want to go.

First of all, we have to find out that the kids aren’t really pregnant.

‘But I ended up getting caught while I was in the military.’

In that case, I think it would be better if we all just go together and come to a conclusion.

Don’t you think it’s necessary to drive the nail in firmly so that no one can do anything while I’m away?

– Woojin, it was like that when you went into the military. It’s the same now that your father is retiring.

“Huh?”

– When you leave, make sure you clean up after yourself.

“… … .”

– I believe you will do well.

Stop.

My older brother hung up the phone.

I had a mysterious feeling.

As I sat there blankly, thoughts began to naturally organize themselves in my head.

About the things I have to do.

Woof! Woof! Woof!

The flow was suddenly interrupted by the ringing of a cell phone. I didn’t feel particularly sorry about it.

– Choi Yi-seo –

I quickly pick up the phone.

“Oh, this is Seo.”

– Are you talking on the phone for too long?

“Oh, I talked to my older brother.”

– Oh. So where are you now?

“Me? I’m in the dorm right now. I was going to go to the library to study, but there were too many people, so I just came.”

I know there will be a lot of people because it’s exam period, but strangely enough, I still go to the library once in a while.

I didn’t study, but I tried to do it, but the environment didn’t allow me to do it, so I feel like I failed.

– You weren’t studying. That’s good.

“It went well?”

I wondered what he was talking about out of the blue, but Seo Lee smiled and said.

– Let’s go out and play.

* * *

It didn’t take that long to get to see Lee Seo.

Because I was waiting right in front of the dormitory.

That too, with two other people.

“Woojinaat!”

Seo Ye-rin came in right away.

I hug her too, but Yua Rin comes right over and pulls me away.

“Hey hey! What are you doing! Other kids are watching!”

There were a few people glancing at me as they passed by.

Anyway, since we were known for a certain amount of time, we had to refrain from showing our affection in public.

“Let’s go out and play? It’s exam period now.”

When I asked in confusion, Yoo Ah-rin pointed to Choi Yi-seo.

Choi Yi-seo was standing in front of an electric bicycle that she had borrowed from somewhere, and there was something like a luggage rack in the back.

“Let’s go camping, Woojin. It was on your bucket list.”

“Camping? We decided to go, but should we go now?”

It’s not like I have any plans or appointments. Rather, I’m glad that I’m spending time faithfully with the kids right now.

Isn’t that a bit out of the blue?

Besides, there’s only one bicycle.

No matter how hard you try to cram in that, four people won’t be able to ride it.

“Just wait. I’ll just call the security team.”

Since I moved to and from work while working at Space Global, I will be able to arrive at the glamping site quickly.

“No, no, you two are going today.”

“That’s right, Woojina!”

At Yoo Ah-rin and Seo Ye-rin’s remarks, I looked at them with a blank expression for a moment.

When asked if she was serious, Yu Ah-rin raised her hand and shouted.

“So, have a nice trip!”

“Arin, you’re swearing right now.”

“This is the real deal. Fuck, let it rain, you fucking bitches.”

“… … Why are you swearing at me too?”

While I was panicking and wondering what was going on, Seo Ye-rin came forward and sorted out the situation.

“It’s that day for me and Arin!”

“You fucking bitch! Why do you always treat me like that!”

Yeah, there’s no way Yerin has the ability to sort out situations.

“Haa, Seo Ye-rin and I are over there. Th, what is it… … Oh, that’s right. We’re meeting up as high school classmates.”

“No matter how you look at it, it’s a joke?”

When I stare at her intently, Yu Ah-rin crumples her expression and starts thinking of an excuse again.

And then.

“Fuck, just go.”

I gave up and just tried to cover it up by throwing a double-cross.

“Because today is the day that Iseo prepared everything! Glamping, food, bikes, and even Woojini! That’s why the two of them are sending it!”

“All of that? No, why? Tell me. Where does a college student have money?”

“I worked part-time too? And you’re a college student too.”

Aren’t I a little different?

But I don’t think the two of them will be convinced for just that reason.

“Haa, since you’re going to the army. We talked amongst ourselves. Let’s spend some time apart.”

“By the way, I declined! Woojini only sees me anyway!”

Seo Ye-rin giving a thumbs up.

When I asked him why he wasn’t going with me, his expression darkened rapidly.

“My mom said a stranger came to her and told her daughter to stop acting.”

huh?

“What are you talking about, that is.”

When I asked her about the serious situation, Seo Ye-rin mumbled with her eyes still dead.

“My daughter is pregnant, so don’t force her to be an actress. Even the agency mentioned it, so I’m going to the hospital today.”

“… … .”

Isn’t this something I can just play around with?

I think those people who I don’t know were probably sent by my father.

It must have been hard to see your daughter-in-law working while she was pregnant.

“I, I’ll go with you.”

“Would you mind? I’ve already thought about what I’m going to say when I get there.”

What do you want to say?

“Trying to make fun of it as an imaginary pregnancy.”

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to go play here.

At that time, Yoo Ah-rin hits Seo Ye-rin on the back of the head and starts swearing at her.

“I wonder how far this girl will go with her novel. She’s doing all kinds of crazy things to make sure I can’t go!”

“Ehhh!”

Seo Ye-rin smiling while sticking out her tongue.

“Was that a lie?”

“Half? My agency is secretly worried about my health, and they are not giving me a good schedule for next quarter. They even made a hospital appointment for me.”

“Ah.”

Since YS has a connection to our family, I think my mother may have put pressure on him.

“So don’t go, Ujina.”

Seo Ye-rin, who holds me back.

While I was wondering what to do, Yu Ah-rin stepped forward before me.

Kwak!

Yoo Ah-rin put a choke on Seo Ye-rin’s neck.

From the perspective of having learned from senior Joohee, it is a considerable level of skill.

“Kkeek?!”

“Hey, you bitch, I’m holding you back, so go away!”

“Let go of me! Woojina! Don’t go!”

“Oh, I understood earlier!”

“It’s so sour! I saw it for myself! It’s so sour! ”

“Let’s just tell each other to have a good time!”

“Come on, rain! Come on so hard, it’s soaking wet!”

“What a crazy bitch?! I’m going to get a flat tire on my bike!”

Why are you suddenly cursing at Seo Ye-rin while reprimanding her?

“Wow! I went there and the glamping site was ruined!”

“Kim Woojin, suddenly you have erectile dysfunction!”

“Don’t kiss while grilling meat and eating garlic!”

“Go and make Choi Yi-seo study!”

Both of them raise their hands in pairs and curse us.

But Choi Yi-seo looks embarrassed like a bride being seen off on her honeymoon while watching that.

“Let’s go, Woojin.”

“Uh, uh.”

You’ve gotten stronger, Iseoya.

Not affected by such a curse.

“Hey, wait until next time! I’m going to have a great time in a really cool place!”

“You don’t need to pack clothes when you’re with me, Woojina! I won’t wear anything!”

I was about to ride my bike while receiving loud cheers from two people.

“Huh?”

“Huh?”

We face each other as we both try to grab the handle.

“No, I’m Seo. I’m a man, so I should drive. You ride in the back.”

“I have more stamina and strength than you.”

“Hey, I’m still a man. And now I work out, so I’m not shy.”

Choi Yi-seo slightly extends her hand.

Are you suggesting we have a showdown?

“Ha, I don’t want to exert myself.”

It’s a bit weird to be so forceful towards your girlfriend, but you can’t just ride behind her like that.

“Ahhh! Aahhh! It hurts! Iseo, it hurts!”

What the heck?

Are you a Super Saiyan?

Choi Yi-seo let go of my hand and looked at me with a smug look.

I thought about it for a moment, then slowly sat down in the back seat and shouted.

“Sister, come on!”
