154 – 149. Proposal
“You’re going to die with your brother?! Are you that upset that I didn’t listen to your love story?!”
I raised my voice in annoyance at my brother, who almost drove into the next lane while looking at me.
I’m his younger brother, but honestly, isn’t this something to be angry about?
“……I’m sorry.”
My little brother apologized, acknowledging his mistake, and fixed his gaze forward with his mouth shut.
“Wow, I really thought I was going to die.”
Anyway, I was glad that there was no accident.
– What the heck is going on?
Yoo Ah-rin’s urgent voice came from my cell phone.
The call hadn’t been disconnected yet, so it seemed that she had heard my voice.
It was rare for Yoo Ah-rin to be worried, but I calmed her down for now.
“It’s okay. I almost got into an accident, but I’m fine. Oh man, that was really dangerous.”
– I thought my heart was going to drop. It was like something out of a drama.
“Yeah.”
“Hey…… Woo-jin?”
My little brother called me again.
“What.”
When I glared at him sullenly, my little brother continued to stare forward and said,
“Can you put it on speakerphone?”
“Why? She’s my friend?”
“Please, I’m begging you.”
“No.”
– What’s going on.
“Then let me make the call. Or are you going to turn your head again?”
Is he crazy?
He’s negotiating with my life.
“Ugh, fine, just look forward, please.”
I changed it to speakerphone in annoyance, and my little brother immediately greeted her with a business-like smile.
“Hello, I’m Woo-jin’s second older brother, Kim Woon. Can I have a moment of your time?”
– Huh? Woo-jin’s second older brother? What the heck, he has another older brother besides the vice president?
“Oh, there’s another one.”
– I’m so jealous. I’m an only child.
But I don’t know why my little brother started the conversation and it naturally continued with me.
My little brother seemed a little flustered by Yoo Ah-rin’s easygoing nature, but there was a satisfied smile on his lips.
“Ah-rin, do you watch internet broadcasts often?”
“Brother……?”
Now I realized what my brother was trying to do. Yoo Ah-rin’s voice was a bit unique and charming.
It seemed that my little brother saw that as a selling point.
– Internet broadcasts? I don’t watch them.
“I see. A lot of people have been watching them lately. They’re becoming more popular.”
– ……Is this really Woo-jin’s little brother?
Yoo Ah-rin was a little wary, as if she knew he was trying to sell her something. It was true that his tone and build-up were a bit strange.
“Oh, well, I’m working on raising internet broadcasters.”
– You want me to broadcast?
“Yes! Ah-rin, your voice is so charming, and you seem to have a good personality, so I think you’d be perfect for internet broadcasting.”
– But I don’t really want to show my face.
“Oh my! Nowadays, there are virtual YouTubers who use characters instead.”
– Hmm, isn’t Kim Woo-jin right next to you?
“What.”
When I brought the cell phone to my side and asked, Yoo Ah-rin whispered softly.
– Hey, you didn’t get involved with some weird cult, did you? Isn’t this your little brother who’s tied to your heart?
“Ah-rin! I can hear you!”
– sh*t.
“I can hear that too!”
– Kim Woo-jin, you bastard, you should have turned off the speakerphone.
“What’s wrong with you, you made the mistake.”
– Do you think I’d be good at internet broadcasting?Despite his appearance, my younger brother is surprisingly good at business.
Since I thought it would work, I made a somewhat awkward scouting offer to my friend, Yoo Ah-rin.
After thinking for a moment, I answered honestly.
“Hmm, I guess it’s not bad? But rather than being a VTuber, I think it would be better to just show my face.”

– Why?
“……I just think so.”
– Tell me. Or don’t.
This girl really wants me to say what I’m going to say. With my younger brother’s earnest gaze, I sighed and answered in a crawling voice.
“She’s pretty.”
– Ha, this kid always says such things softly.
“Our Woo-jin has very, very high standards, so if he says she’s pretty, Miss Ah-rin must be a great beauty!”
Honestly.
‘She’s pretty.’
Although she was overshadowed by the halo behind Seo Ye-rin, Yoo Ah-rin was also a beauty that was not to be envied.
– Hmm, I’ll just think about it for now. Thank you for the great offer.
“Oh my gosh! I’ll give you her contact information and business card through Woo-jin! Please contact me!”
Click.
As soon as I hung up the phone, my brother drove into a nearby rest stop and stopped the car.
“Do you have a picture of Miss Ah-rin?”
“Are you serious?”
“Of course, VTubers are fine too, but basically, if you’re a beauty, you’re very welcome.”
“Ha……”
I don’t usually carry around pictures of myself, so I looked at my chat profile picture.
There was a picture of Yoo Ah-rin in her Gold One uniform, so I showed it to him.
Bang!
He slammed his hand on the steering wheel and shouted roughly.
“This girl! This girl! Our next signboard star! She’s going to be a huge hit! Really, no matter what! Wow, Woo-jin! Where did you find this kind of talent!”
“……”
“Not only is she pretty, but she also has a cool personality and speaks her mind. In the entertainment industry, this style is much more popular than the cute style. I’m going to raise this girl, no matter what!”
“……But brother.”
“Take the business card, Woo-jin. Tell her to contact me. No, the beef from earlier? I’ll buy it for you, so come out right now…!”
“She’s one of those three.”
“……”
My younger brother, who had been shaking his jaw and spitting as he spoke, froze at my words.
My younger brother, who had been staring at me blankly, took a deep breath and patted me on the shoulder.
“Our company artists are forbidden from dating.”
“What about your wife?”
“She’s the president.”
* * *
– Seo Ye-rin: Huh? Why aren’t you in your room?
What the hell is this?
The beef restaurant I went to with my younger brother.
Seo Ye-rin’s sudden chat message made me come to my senses without realizing it.
– Seo Ye-rin: (picture)
She even sent me a picture of the inside of my room. Isn’t this really crazy?
– Kim Woo-jin: How did you get in there?
– Seo Ye-rin: The door was open?
– Kim Woo-jin: No, I mean, how did you get into the dormitory itself? It’s forbidden for outsiders to enter.
– Seo Ye-rin: I watched NaXto yesterday.
– Kim Woo-jin: What does that have to do with anything? If you don’t want to be left behind, come outside.
I got annoyed and got another chat message.
– Seo Ye-rin: (picture)
– Seo Ye-rin: I’m warming up the blanket.
Seo Ye-rin was lying on my bed in her white underwear. I got excited without realizing it, but my lower body was getting stronger.
I’m not the old Kim Woo-jin.
I’m the enlightened Kim Woo-jin.
I will no longer act like trash, and I will find my own answers by clearly drawing the line.
– Kim Woo-jin: Give me one more picture.
But it seems that my head and fingers are not communicating well.- Seoyerin: (Photo)
This time, Seoyerin sent a photo of herself posing as if she were taking care of a junior.
I wanted to grab her butt and make her whine right away.
This girl should have been a pepper farmer.
She’s a genius at making peppers angry.
– Seoyerin: Are you not coming in today?
– Kim Woojin: Probably not. So just go back.
– Seoyerin: Okay, got it.
Whew.
I dealt with her for now.
“Should I ask Arin where she is?”
My little brother, who was getting impatient next to me.
I handed him a wet tissue to wipe his sweat.
“She said she’ll be here soon. Wait.”
She was the kind of girl who would follow a spy if they promised her beef.
In fact, after waiting a few minutes, Yuarin, wearing a gray hoodie and sweatpants, entered the store.
Yuarin, who spotted us, approached us quickly.
“Hello, I’m Yuarin.”
“Oh my! Hello! My name is Kim Woon! Here’s my business card. I don’t have a family certificate, but I’m Woojin’s blood-related brother.”
“Oh, okay.”
Yuarin, who received the business card, sat down. Her eyes were already scanning the menu, not the business card.
A smile spread across her lips as she looked at the prices. She was that easy.
“Woojin, I want to eat beef when I get proposed to later.”
“Just order chicken at home.”
We exchanged pointless jokes and ordered the meat.
“Oh my, you’re really beautiful when I see you in person!”
“Thank you!”
Since he was buying the meat, my little brother was already a good person to Yuarin.
Woong!
My cell phone rang while the two were talking.
– Choi Yiseo: (Photo)
– Choi Yiseo: ???
It’s rare for Choi Yiseo to send a photo, so I checked it out. It was a photo of Seoyerin sleeping in my bed in her underwear.
– Kim Woojin: ????
– Choi Yiseo: ?????
– Kim Woojin: ??????
– Choi Yiseo: ???????
‘……’
She clearly said she was going home, so I don’t know why she’s sleeping there. It’s not my responsibility if Seoyerin gets scolded by her parents.
– Kim Woojin: But why are you there?
I stopped spamming question marks and asked.
I didn’t know how Choi Yiseo was there in the first place, since she wasn’t a dorm student.
– Choi Yiseo: I had a meeting with some freshman juniors who live in the dorm. I came to explain the mentor-mentee program, and I thought it was a good time to come and see you.
– Kim Woojin: I see.
– Choi Yiseo: I see?
– Kim Woojin: I can’t go to the dorm today. I don’t know why she’s there either.
– Choi Yiseo: Okay, I’ll take her with me.
– Kim Woojin: Please do.
Choi Yiseo will find a way to do it.
My little brother was explaining things to Yuarin, but Yuarin’s eyes were already fixed on the beef.
Judging that he needed to fill her stomach first in order to continue the conversation, my brother leaned back in his chair and stopped talking for a moment.
“Perfect. She’ll eat well too.”
But even as I watched Yuarin like that, I was satisfied that she was a perfect match for my personality.
Just then.
“We’re here.”
“……”
Two girls approached our table.
One of them was someone I had never seen before.
Her hair was a combination of many different colors, and it was so flashy that it was obvious she wasn’t an ordinary person.
And the other one was.
Oh Yoonji, with her passionate red hair.
“……Huh?”
Before I knew it, I looked at my little brother, and he scratched the back of his head and replied, looking embarrassed.”I can’t decide alone. Oh! Honey! This is our youngest! Woojin, say hello! She’s your sister-in-law!”
“Hello, I’m Choi Eunbyeol. I’ve heard a lot about you.”
“……Hello.”
She stands up awkwardly and shakes hands. The younger sister-in-law greeted Yuarin right away.
Oh Yoonji, who met my eyes, sighed and told me not to worry.
“I’m here to work today.”
She draws a clear line.
Yes, that’s Oh Yoonji.
As I relaxed my mind, the strength that had been in my shoulders was released.
Oh Yoonji asked Yuarin for a handshake.
“Hello, I’m Oh Yoonji. We were in the English Literature Department together last year, but we didn’t get to talk much then?”
“……”
“Woojin and I were traveling around so much that we couldn’t take care of our other classmates.”
Yuarin’s eyes widened slightly as she stared at Oh Yoonji.
Oh my.
‘Are you going to break your promise in 3 seconds?’
Oh Yoonji, who clearly said that she would separate work and private life, has already broken the ice.
“Oh!”
However.
“Our Woojin’s ‘ex’ girlfriend?”
Yuarin wasn’t the type to just sit back and take it.
Get her Yuarin!
