episode_0074

After Yoosung left the house to think about it, Seris got dressed and got dressed. It was a time when I was wandering around, imagining happy thoughts.

“You’re still human after all that?”

Kara has been criticizing her.

‘Why is this guy so annoying?’

What good is there in fighting again now? All you have to do is just quietly wait for Yoosung’s choice.

Seris, who was too lazy to respond, just ignored it. That must have made Kara angry, so she screamed loudly.

“Hey! Are you ignoring what I say?!”

“Hey?”

That name was a little annoying. Cerise put her thumb and index finger together and took a pinching pose. Kara frowned and took a step back, covering her chest.

“Rain, cowardly…!”

“Yes, yes, you are a coward. So, let’s stop bothering you and wait for Yoosung? You never know, you might be chosen.”

Seris said calmly. There was confidence that she would be chosen. Kara realized this and was in tears.

“You, you bitch! They always take what is mine! There’s no such thing as a sister like you. When dad brought you home, I should have kicked you out!”

At those words, Seris faltered and stopped. I turned to Kara.

“What?”

I frowned and glared at Kara. Tendons were sprouting all over the face.

‘uh..?!’

Kara was inwardly embarrassed. I’ve seen Cerise get angry a few times. Because I was really angry when I was Rihanna. But this is the first time I’ve seen such an angry expression.

“What did you just say?”

“What, what! Did I say something wrong? I monopolize my mom and dad’s love, get all the boys’ attention, and girls who are jealous of my older sister even ostracize me. My, do you know how hard it has been for me?!”

Even though Kara was shaking, she pretended not to be like that. Cerys’ expression turned cold at that. She walked towards Kara.

‘Hee, hee!’

Kara covered her chest with both arms and crouched down as hard as she could. The only thing I didn’t like was having my nipples pinched. It really hurt so much that I can’t express it in words.

But Seris passed by Kara.

‘uh..?’

Kara looked puzzled and relaxed her crouch. Cerise took out a piece of parchment from a drawer.

‘Dad’s letter?’

Why are you bringing that up? Kara couldn’t understand Seris’ actions. Cerise opened the letter and began to read it out loud.

“Dear Baron Singla.”

“?”

Isn’t it ‘To my beloved daughters, Cerys and Kara’?

Kara thought it was strange, but didn’t open her mouth to say anything. I stayed quiet to find out why my sister was doing that.

Cerise’s reading continued.

Kara listened in silence. As time passed, her expression changed moment by moment. When the reading was over, I was pale.

Seris said while looking at that expression.

“Now, say again what you said earlier.”

“That’s a lie. It wasn’t like this. Don’t make it up!”

“I didn’t make it up. It was actually Yoosung who made it up.”

“Why oppa?!”

“Why? I guess he did it because he was afraid I would get hurt.”

Cerys laughed and threw the letter. Suddenly, it fell in front of Kara. Kara’s devastated eyes turned to the letter on the floor.

Cerise walked up to her and squatted down. He said, leveling his eyes.

“What is this? Do you monopolize mom and dad’s love?”

Kara was speechless. I never imagined that her parents would have cared for Cerys for this reason.

“Ha, but it’s true that you monopolized the villagers’ attention!”

“Unni, you’re not happy about receiving attention from people like that? I’m sorry about being ostracized by girls… I didn’t know that. But, Kara… she worked all day just to make you happy. To the point where I don’t even care if they are friends of the opposite sex or the same sex. Is that what you say to a sister like that? You had a hard time because of me?”

“Well, that is…”

Kara lowered her head without saying anything. It’s true that Cerys made a sacrifice for her, and it’s true that Kara took it for granted.

Seris looked at Kara and sighed.

“Kara, you sacrificed a lot for me, right?”

“Uh, yes…”

“Then you can sacrifice for your sister, right? I don’t expect much from you. Only one. All you need is one.”

“Uh, sister!”

It was before Cerise finished speaking. Kara quickly grabbed her hand. This is because I expected what Seris wanted.

“I was wrong. I was so selfish that I didn’t know that my sister was having a hard time.”

“I’m glad you understand. So…”

“I’m really sorry for what you sacrificed for me. I’ll pay it all back somehow! So, only you… Only you to me…”

Seris held Kara’s cheek with both hands, as if squeezing it.

“Sister…?”

“Can you pay it all back?”

“Ugh, yes! No matter how long it takes, I will pay it all back. I will repay you somehow…”

“No need.”

“Uh…?”

Kara’s eyes trembled. Seris sighed.

“How are you going to pay it back? With money?”

“Yes, I will work hard to pay it all back…”

“Kara. Sister, I don’t need money.”

“Huh..?”

Kara’s eyes widened as if she was truly shocked.

“…Do you see your sister as someone who reveals money like that?”

“No…?”

“No! The reason my sister was stingy with money all this time was because it was hard to make ends meet, not because she revealed her money. What you really want is people. A person who can truly love and be loved. If you’re with someone like that, you don’t need much money unless you live on a daily basis.”

“Sister…”

Cold sweat began to form down Kara’s spine. Those words were tantamount to declaring that they would somehow catch the shooting star.

“I, I was wrong. Please don’t touch my brother… Huh? Sister…!!”

Kara knelt down and begged humbly.

Pride?

Now was not the time to take care of such things. If I continued like this, I really might have it taken away.

Cerise’s heart was a little shaken by Kara’s earnest attitude. No matter what, she is my younger sister. He ran his hand down his face and spoke as if he had made up his mind.

“Good. Then I’ll give it up just one day a month.”

“…?”

“They let me have sex with Yoosung just one day a month.”

In “?”

Kara opened her eyes wide. Cerise crossed her arms and nodded. The story wasn’t as bad as I thought.

‘I’m tired of watching Kara and Yoosung having sex anyway.’

It would be okay to save it as a delicacy once a month or so. Also to catch his cheating.

“Sister, are you out of your mind..?”

…Was once a month too little? Seris decided to give in a little more.

“Once this week. I can’t give in any more than that.”

Kara’s wide-open eyes trembled. Seeing that, Seris felt proud.

Who in this world would give up a man for their younger sister?

Of course, Ceris did it because she felt like she would never forget the taste of masturbating while peeping.

‘I think I’m too kind…’

“You crazy bitch! As expected, oppa is too much for you!!”

Kara pulled Cerise’s hair.

“Aaaah! Why are you like this all of a sudden?! Are you letting me do it once this week? I can’t give in any more!”

“If you say something like that, people will call me a crazy bitch!”

“This, this!”

Cerys pinched Kara’s nipple.

“Aaaahaaahhh!!!”

Nevertheless, Kara did not let go of Seris’ hair. He pulled me and bit my shoulder.

“Aaagh!! Are you really saying you want to do it?!”

“Yes! It would be best to just kill my sister!”

“What, what?! Let’s take a look at this…!”

The sisterly fight began again.

* * *

A day has passed since Yooseong left home. With the harsh crow of a chicken, Seris stood up.

“Ugh… It hurts…”

I rubbed my shoulders. I bit it so hard that it left a scar.

“It’s not a breast cancer, right..?”

I stopped while trying to rub the wound. He pouted his mouth.

‘No matter how angry I am, I’m going to put my shoulder down like this… and tell Yoosung everything.’

She got up and looked for the shooting star. There wasn’t.

‘Is he in the room by any chance..?’

With Kara? I felt really bad. She tried to open the door a little roughly and ended up stopping. I opened it gently.

“Mr. Yoosung…?”

“Umm… oppa…”

The only person in the room was Kara, who was sleeping and hugging a pillow tightly.

‘what?’

Cerise put on a mask and came out of the house. It wasn’t even in the yard.

‘You’re not coming..?’

why?

Seris, who narrowed her brows and thought, soon realized.

‘You seem to be deeply troubled.’

Because Yooseong has deep affection. I guess he’s doing this because he’s worried that Kara will be seriously hurt if he chooses Ceris.

‘Really…’

Cerise smiled bitterly and prepared breakfast. After getting ready, I woke up Kara.

“Kara, wake up, it’s morning.”

Kara woke up, rubbing her eyes.

“Oppa..?”

“This is my sister.”

“…”

“Eat.”

“…Yes.”

The two sat down at the table and started eating. Kara muttered in the awkward atmosphere.

“Cat thief.”

“…”

* * *

The next morning,

Cerise got up from the blanket. I looked around the house and opened the door. As expected, Kara is alone. It was the same outside.

There was no meteor.

“Mr. Yoosung…?”

At this point, Seris felt something was wrong. Anxiety crept up and tightened her chest.

‘He’ll be here soon…’

So I made up my mind and made breakfast. At that time, the door suddenly opened and Kara came out. For some reason, I woke up without even waking up.

No, looking at the dark circles in my eyes, it looks like I didn’t sleep well.

“Sister, I guess you didn’t sleep well?”

“…Tina?”

“Yes.”

Kara giggled as if she was sorry. Seris was dumbfounded.

“Okay, let’s eat.”

The two started eating. Today there was no childish nervousness like yesterday. Kara, who was eating some soup, called out to Seris.

“Sister.”

“Huh?”

“When do you think your brother will come?”

“…He’ll be here soon. You seem to be deeply troubled.”

“…”

Kara’s face darkened. Seris pretended not to notice and tried to think positively.

The meteor will come soon.

I believed so.

And the shooting star did not come the next day either.

Seris and Kara moved to find the shooting star.

* * *

It’s been a week since the meteor left, and Kara and Seris haven’t even been able to find his shadow. When it got dark, Kara sighed and went home.

‘I’ve already looked at all the possible places…’

He wasn’t there. Even those who witnessed him. That fact made her anxious.

When she arrived home, she opened the door and went in. The dishes on the table were the same as breakfast.

‘I didn’t eat again…’

Kara sighed and opened the door. Seris was sitting on the bed, hugging Yoosung’s pillow. Her eyes were puffy, puffy, and bloodshot as she stared blankly at the wall.

“…Didn’t you eat breakfast again?”

Ceris suddenly turned her head at the sound of Kara’s voice. Life returned to my eyes.

“Ka, what about Kara Yoosung? Did you find it?!”

“No…”

The vitality that had returned disappeared in an instant. She turned her head again and stared blankly at the wall.

Kara looked at that and felt heartbroken. Of course, I hated it a lot until not long ago. Are sisters still sisters even though they are not related by blood?

“Sister, let’s eat something first. I’m hungry.”

“…are you hungry?”

“Yes.”

“Okay… just wait…”

Cerise got up from her seat and trudged towards the furnace. I started cooking by boiling water and cutting vegetables. Kara slowly approached.

“Shall I help you too..?”

Cerise shook her head. Kara had no choice but to sit down at the table and wait quietly. Cerise placed the bowl filled with soup in front of Kara. And then I walked helplessly to my room.

“You don’t eat it?”

“My sister is not hungry.”

Seris smiled and entered the room. After a while, a sobbing sound was heard from the room. Kara stopped eating her soup and ran straight to her room. I opened the door carefully.

“Ugh… black…”

Seris was crying again. How many times a day do you cry? If you do that, all the water in your body will drain.

Kara walked over to Seris and sat down next to her. He comforted me by stroking my back. Cerise’s cries became louder.

“Kara. I’m sorry… I… I was greedy… I hurt you a lot… Yu, Yoosung, I’m sure he’s tired of me like this…”

“Sister…”

Kara’s heart sank when she saw Seris crying.

“Sister, don’t cry… oppa will definitely come, okay?”

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry that my sister is greedy…”

“I’m sorry too. You didn’t think about your feelings. We were both equally bad. The older brother who cheated was also bad.”

“No, Yoosung is not at fault. It’s because I threatened you… because I said if you didn’t accept it, you would end up hanging out with other guys…”

“Huh..?”

The tears that were trying to come out went away. Seris, seeing Kara’s expression, distorted her face.

“I’m sorry Kara… Ugh…”

“Uh, uh… It’s okay… Yes… Don’t cry…”

The back of my head hurt a lot, but it was hard to say anything to my sister who was apologizing with a messed up face.

Then someone knocked on the front door.

“Sister, wait a minute.”

“Yes…”

Kara left the room. Seris looked at the wall again with blank eyes.

smart.

“Okay, just a moment.”

Kara grabbed her wooden sword and walked to the front door. I opened the door very slightly to check who was visiting.

“Who are you? uh? Lady?”

He was the owner of the inn where Kara used to stay.

“Why did you come here?”

The innkeeper, who looked generous, looked at Kara and sighed.

“Did you fight with that kid, Han Yu-seong?”

“Huh? What happened to the lady’s brother…”

It was then.

Cerise ran out of the room with a crashing sound.

“Yu, Mr. Yoosung!”
