    Lee Junseo (Son) – Commotion Always Comes Suddenly

    * Lee Junseo (Son) – Commotion Always Comes Suddenly (6)

    After hearing the story, everyone’s reactions were divided.

    Too young, did he still have blood ties, why is he trying to approach Doryeon-nim, why didn’t he come into the village, who’s his sponsor, why is he hanging out with those kinds of guys…

    There were many opinions, but the most ominous one would be this.

    “Doryeon-nim, you can just tell me. You haven’t gotten attached yet, so if you just tell me, I’ll kill him right now. He’s some bum who we don’t even know where he crawled out from, and it’s obvious he’ll cause trouble if we let him live.”

    “What are you saying to Doryeon-nim right now… Are you crazy…?”

    “But, Munyeong Agassi. Am I wrong? Isn’t this a problem? The fact that one of the elders in the village was hiding something like this already smells like an incident waiting to happen, doesn’t it? Isn’t it fortunate that we found out now before things get bigger? Just kill him.”

    “That’s not for us to decide.”

    The bald guy and Munyeong stop their subordinate’s rampage, and everyone’s eyes gather. They want me to make a decision quickly, but there are too many things I don’t know to come to a conclusion based only on what I just heard. I know his age and name, but it seems like he’s excited because he just found out about his bloodline. Besides, it seems like he went through quite a bit to meet me, so I can get a sense of what kind of kid he is even though I haven’t seen his face.

    “Yoo Narin.”

    “Yes…”

    “I think I know what kind of kid he is, even if other people don’t. I have a feeling why he’s acting like that. I’m probably the only one here who knows.”

    “Re, really?”

    “Can you call him right now?”

    “Yes! He told me to do it anytime!”

    “Call him.”

    “Yes!”

    As if she didn’t have it on her, the fellow “products” next to Yoo Narin handed her her cell phone. Then, after touching it a few times, the ringing sound soon echoed. Everyone naturally held their breath and listened to the ringing of the bell echoing in the coffee shop, and soon, along with a clicking sound, a voice that seemed familiar yet often heard from somewhere popped out.

    「Hello? Narin-ie Nuna?」

    “E, ehehet…”

    He’s calling her Nuna.

    As expected.

    I was fine, but the Bokryong subordinates frowned at the familiarity, and Yoo Narin also became awkward.

    「Hello? Hello? Is the phone broken?」

    I wondered why his voice was familiar, but I guess it’s because it’s similar to my voice. A slightly younger voice than mine. Just from his voice, I’m convinced that we’re connected by blood.

    “U, um… Lee Junhyuk… -nim…?”

    「Uh, Nuna, what’s wrong? Why are you suddenly using -nim? I told you you don’t have to call me that. Did you drink?」

    “That’s right… Ah, that’s. Junhyuk-ah? Nuna called because I have something to tell you…”

    「Uh-huh, ah, hold on. I’m playing Mario Kart with my friends right now! Owaak~?! You bastard, someone’s on the phone?! Ack!」

    Along with the sound of something exploding from the other side of the phone, there was a brief commotion, and then it calmed down. It was as if he had moved away from where he was playing the game, and the other side of the phone became quiet. Unlike this side, which was just talking about killing people, the other side had a fairly peaceful atmosphere.

    「Hello. Can you tell me again? Why did you call?」

    “I called because I have something to tell you. I got information about your Hyung. He recently came down from the village. He’s in the university district right now.”

    「Oh, that? But Nuna. I’m sorry to say this to Nuna, but I don’t think I need to hear those stories anymore. I told everything to my sponsor in the village this time and got information. I heard that Hyung went to a bar with Bokryong members as soon as he came out to the village, so I thought this was my chance and chased him all the way there, but I couldn’t meet him? There were too many people, so I couldn’t go in because I was afraid there would be a commotion.」

    “Really…?”

    「Even so, I wouldn’t go in there without any tact. There were so many scary Ajusshis, I was really scared shitless.」

    “That’s not it… You went all the way near there…?”

    「Yeah. The sponsor Halbae was surprised. He asked me why I did that. But I also felt bad for making Nuna do spy work… Hehe…」

    My younger brother (presumed) is talking in a tone that seems to be appeasing Yoo Narin. However, he didn’t seem to know what her expression was like on the other side of the phone. He’s doing that thinking he’s being considerate of Yoo Narin’s position, but the more consideration she receives, the colder the eyes of her fellow “products” become. Once they hear this far, they can’t erase the impression that she’s a traitor.

    「So Nuna doesn’t have to report those things to me one by one anymore. I know it’s not something someone who unilaterally kidnapped you and extracted information should say, but I’m going to try to contact him independently now. If I become friends with Hyung later, I’ll talk about Nuna and ask him to be lenient, so you can rest assured. Our Hyung isn’t that bad of a person, right? He’ll definitely understand about Nuna too.」

    “I don’t know how I should take that~?”

    Yoo Narin’s trembling pupils look around.

    Ahahaha.

    Her awkwardly smiling face is cute.

    She’s such an idiot.

    「That’s right! Nuna! I contacted you at the right time! A movie was released this time, let’s go hang out together!」

    “A, a, a date proposal in this situation…?”

    「Oh, you don’t like it? It hasn’t been long since we met, and our first meeting was unfortunate, so I wanted to apologize to Nuna and get to know you better.」

    “Do you know what you’re saying right now?”

    「I do?」

    “What?”

    「I’m hitting on Nuna right now.」

    “Ah, I’m so fucked…”

    A follow-up attack on Yoo Narin’s situation. My younger brother on the other side of the phone was really quick to act, but he seemed to be fundamentally a child. From what I heard, he hasn’t known Yoo Narin for that long. He contacted Yoo Narin after I entered the village and my identity was revealed, so it’s only been about a week now. But to say those things to Yoo Narin so freely…

    “Is he really Doryeon-nim’s younger brother? He’s so straightforward.”

    “Shit, be quiet. I know that too.”

    “Hehe…”

    While some subordinates are taking it seriously, the other half are snickering. There’s even an idiot who’s saying those things right next to my ear. As someone who has never hit on any women other than my family, I was just amazed by my younger brother’s ability to act.

    “……………”

    “Keep going.”

    “Heuk…”

    Yoo Narin can’t stand the shame and asks for help from this side, but I shake my head and reject her. I was worried at first, but I’m trying to hold back somehow because I feel like a smile is about to appear on my face. Not only was she caught betraying in front of the same “products,” but the other side is appealing so passionately. Besides, if it’s true that he’s my blood relative, then Yoo Narin is definitely being envied and jealous of by her fellow “products” rather than being targeted as a traitor.

    “If you knew what my bloodline was like, you wouldn’t say those things to me. Please don’t do that and tell me it’s a joke.”

    「What? You don’t like it? I like Nuna. It was awkward at first, but you were still kind to me. And I like the part where you called me first to help me meet Hyung, no matter what. You’re a traitor now, but if you succeed in meeting me and Hyung, you might even get recognized for your merits, right?」

    “Aaaaah~! Aaaaack~!”

    「If I go into the village later, Nuna, give me a tour. I heard for the first time that I have a Halmeoni. I’m really looking forward to meeting her. Ah, do you want to go see my Halmeoni together? I heard she’s a good person? It’s okay to tell Halmeoni about Nuna directly… Actually, I don’t care about the village chief or anything like that… I’ve even thought about leaving all that to Hyung and spending time with Nuna…」

    “Aaaaaaaack!!! I can’t hear you~! I can’t hear you~! I can’t hear you~! I can’t hear the sweet first love story of a high school student~! Don’t just say things like that without knowing what the village chief is like~! Aaaaaaaack~!”

    「Huh? Why are you suddenly like that? Uh, uh? Nuna? Nuna?!」

    Yoo Narin rolls around on the floor. Her face is not only red with shame, but her whole body is trembling. Perhaps feeling sorry for her, the “products” who were burning with jealousy or anger also react awkwardly. It must be embarrassing to be publicly confessed to in front of everyone.

    “I’ve done enough now! Right?! Is it okay now?! Yes?! Does this clear my charges, right?!”

    “Have a beautiful love. I’ll cheer you on.”

    “I don’t want to hear those words from Doryeon-nim!!!!”

    In the end, the phone is thrown from Yoo Narin’s exploding hand, and it lands exactly in Munyeong-ie’s hand. She’s blankly staring with an expression that says she doesn’t know how to react, and eventually hands the phone to me.

    「Uh, Nuna? Hello? Narin Nuna~?」

    “Ahem. Hello.”

    「Uh? Uh… Uh…?」

    Well, I’ve heard the story up to here.

    Now it’s my turn.

    “I heard the story well.”

    「Who are you? Who are you to pop out of Narin Nuna’s phone?」

    My younger brother’s voice turns cold at once. However, the expression on my face on the other side of the phone is full of smiles. It was a smile close to ridicule, but I have no intention of hiding it.

    “Nice to meet you. I’m the Hyung you wanted to meet so much, you younger brother who doesn’t even know my face.”

    「Huh?」

    “Sorry to be so abrupt, but can you come out now? If you have something to do, I’ll wait…”

    「I’ll go now! Nuna’s there too, right?!」

    “Okay.”

    「Hyu, Hyung, is that you? Are you really Hyung? You didn’t do anything weird to Nuna, did you?!」

    “I didn’t. So come to the place I’m texting you from now.”

    「Wait, one last time, Nuna’s voice──?!」

    Ttu-uk.

    I abruptly hung up the phone, texted the location of the coffee shop, and turned off the phone. Then, I looked down at Yoo Narin, who was rolling on the floor, and ridiculed her.

    “Did you hear that? Your Prince Charming is coming soon. It seems like he thinks you’ve been kidnapped? How does it feel to be Princess Peach?”

    “Please just kill me…”

    “If you wanted to die, you shouldn’t have made those jokes. Look, all the Bokryong guys who were glaring at you are laughing. Who would mess with you in this situation?”

    “Uaaaaaaaack!!!!”

    If you think about it carefully, it’s not a bad position, but Yoo Narin is grinding her teeth in embarrassment and rolling on the floor. Everyone’s tension is relieved by that sight, and the “products” who were dragged along also scatter around the coffee shop and sit down at the gestures of others. It didn’t seem like things would get bigger, and the atmosphere was that it would end simply.
