159 – Easy to understand moment – 2
The boring midterm exam continued.
During the exam period, we always gathered at Yuuki’s house and held study groups.
At first, it was just Yuuki, me, and Yuuko, but from the next day, the number of people increased one by one.
In the end, as always, everyone gathered together and sat down.
It’s good to be noisy, but it only gets in the way when you’re studying, and you can’t study properly because the members always cause trouble or don’t like being boring.
“Come on! Shiraishi is a special dessert! Everyone, please taste it and leave your thoughts!”
I put down my pen as I saw Shiraishi laughing out loud without meaning to cover his mouth with his hand and Elena handing out desserts.
“Ahahahaha…. “Then shall we take a break?”
Haruna also smiled bitterly and held her fork.
“Come meet me! “There’s no point in hastily preparing while you’re taking the test in the first place, right?”
“Shiraishi, isn’t it a bit unfair to have a hard-working person by your side?”
“Oh my. “I didn’t say anything wrong, right?”
Ignoring Yuuki, who lowered her head and mumbled in despair, Shiraishi snuggled next to me.
To be exact, between me and Yuuko.
“Now, Minsu, please come and eat too. “It’s a French cheesecake that’s much more delicious than a cookie?”
“Yes. Thank you.”
“You don’t have to study. Even if there is nothing like that, Shiraishi City needs a talent like you!”
“That’s right. “Because deacon training isn’t over yet.”
Elena said, putting down her glass.
Will I get a job as a butler when I graduate?
I thought that wouldn’t be a bad idea.
“No. “Minsu has to go to the same university as me.”
Haruna crossed her arms around me and shook her head.
“Is it campus life? “That’s not bad either.”
Senior Takase, who was also perfect in his studies, tilted his car and smiled.
“When I think about it, that’s right. Then we all go to the same university.”
“It’s too much for me and Minsu. “Same goes for grades.”
“Don’t worry. “There is no school that would reject Shiraishi’s application.”
I took a bite of the cake and tasted it, praying that I wouldn’t end up in a bad situation.
“How do you feel? “It’s much tastier than those hard, sweet cookies, right!?”
“No, I haven’t even tried that….”
It would be better to ask Yuuki rather than me.
“It’s still delicious. Thank you, Shiraishi.”
“hehehe.”
Shiraishi looked back at everyone with a proud smile.
“Well, come on and eat~! “There are plenty of desserts, right?”
I thought as I watched Elena putting down a three-tiered tray filled with various desserts.
I’m sure I failed this test too.
“Aki-chan.”
At that time, a voice that seemed to have been squeezed out with difficulty was heard.
“Wait a minute, Yuuki! “That’s the Mont Blanc that Minsu will eat!”
“I told you to eat as much as you want!”
On the other hand, Shiraishi argued with Yuuki as if he didn’t hear.
“Aki-nee?”
Yuuko called once more, but Shiraishi still seemed not to have heard, and smiled happily after hearing her senior’s sentiments.
“Aki-nee!”
At that shout, silence finally fell in the noisy living room.
“We have to study!”
Yuko scolded Shiraishi while pushing him away.
Shiraishi, who had been standing between me and Yuuko earlier, stepped back in surprise.
“Oh my… Miss Yuuko?”
Shiraishi blinked as if he had not expected Yuuko to suddenly get angry.
“We are not here to have fun! “It might be okay for you, but not for these idiots!”
Well. Shiraishi would be quite surprised.
“Why, for some reason… “It seems like the character has changed.”
Around summer vacation, Yuuko, who was her good sister and followed them around as her older sister, suddenly raised her voice.
“I will limit break times to 10 minutes. “After that, please put away the glasses and dishes and focus on your studies.”
“Ah… “I understand.”
Shiraishi, embarrassed, agrees.
“Yes, yes. “It’s exam time right now, so what Yuuko said makes sense.”
Haruna also agreed and tried her best to cheer up her cool mood.
“I agree. “Because the two of them were studying hard.”
The two of you would be me and Yuuki.
Even the senior agreed, and the atmosphere suddenly became calm.
Shiraishi, who was watching, cleared his throat and said.
“I’m sorry. “I think I interrupted you.”
“No. Because you need rest too. “But I hope you’ll be careful about getting overly excited.”
Yuuko put her cake into her mouth with a sober expression.
With the other hand holding the pen, I am grading the problems I solved.
Just a moment ago, I was in the middle of solving a problem with the help of Haruna and Yuuko.
“My brother is weak in this area.”
Yuko looked at me while poking the wrong part with a pen.
“Oh, that’s right. Huh.”
“This is a part that comes up on the exam. “If you keep making mistakes, you’ll be in trouble.”
“Uh… But wasn’t it break time now?”
“Did you have time to relax like that?”
I couldn’t rest.
Yuuko leans out and touches his shoulder and begins to explain.
I had no choice but to focus on my studies.

Suddenly, I felt eyes on her, so I turned to see Haruna smiling at us.
After the study group ended, we decided to disperse early.
Actually, there was a suggestion from Yuuki and Shiraishi to have some more fun after the party, but Yuuko’s firm insistence that she should get in shape for tomorrow blocked that.
For that reason, Shiraishi and Takase-senpai returned with Elena looking sullen.
Without going back, Haruna, who was next door, waved to them.
Abruptly, I, who was left with Haruna, stood in front of her house.
“Goodbye then. “Minsu.”
“Yes.”
We exchanged greetings like that, but Haruna stood still and looked at me.
“Aren’t you going home?”
“It is Minsu. “Why are you still?”
“To see you go in.”
“It’s the same for me too.”
If this happens, will we have to keep standing until one side gives up?
Even though I looked like that, Haru had a stubborn side, so I thought I would be the one to make her back down first.
“I’ve become a lot closer to Yuuko-chan.”
“Huh?”
“Minsu and Yuuko-chan. “They seemed friendly without a fault.”
“Is that so?”
As we talked so closely, we learned some things about each other.
I don’t know if they are close.
Because Yuuko often showed a blunt side to me.
“Seeing those two made me feel good too.”
“If Haruna is good….”
Do I have to keep showing Yuuko what I want?
“Besides, Yuuko-chan. “It seems much more comfortable now.”
“Huh?”
She said, looking up at the night sky.
“Say what you want without hesitation. “Because you can speak openly to us as well.”
Are you talking about the time when she told Shiraishi not to make a fuss?
Shiraishi looked quite embarrassed at that time.
“Isn’t it uncomfortable?”
One day, I tilted her head.
“Why? “I wish I had a smart younger brother like that.”
He is a smart younger brother.
Is that how Yuuko appears to Haruna?
“I think they have opened their hearts to us much more than before. “I liked that.”
She turned her head to face me.
The fact that she opened her heart much more meant that Haruna felt that her current appearance was Yuuko’s true personality.
Well, to me, Yuuko now is more different than when she unilaterally followed her older sisters… Han Seo-ah was much easier to deal with.
“I want everyone to get along well.”
Saying that, Haruna stretched out her arms and hugged me.
“I don’t want to be separated from anyone. “I like it now.”
That was something I had heard before.
“I… “Am I being too greedy?”
She asked, looking straight into my eyes.
I shook my head silently.
One day, I buried my face in her arms and stayed like that for a while.
***
She returned to the room and sat down.
Now I don’t even know what happened to me.
I wanted to become a new me, but the only thing that changed was my appearance. In the end, I was still me in this world.
Han Seo-ah.
A woman whose mind moves easily and acts as it pleases, and who cannot easily change her shouting personality.
There is nothing I can do about being shunned by them.
However, for some reason, I felt like that man would accept me like this.
It seems like even a poor country like this would recognize and understand that man.
I hated myself for giving up such expectations and harboring unreasonable jealousy even towards my sisters.
The reason I didn’t go up to the rooftop during lunch time was because I became increasingly aware of myself developing such feelings.
Because I want to deny it.
I felt like I wanted to suppress myself as my other feelings were growing more and more.
But now I don’t even know myself.
In the end, I do whatever I want, but I only follow where the man’s heart takes me.
I pulled back the curtains on the window to let my stuffy mind dissipate into the night air.
From here, I could see the night sky and the residential streets.
“Ah….”
However, my eyes were focused in a different direction.
Minsu and Haruna were in front of the house.
You haven’t returned yet.
Even with their bodies stacked on top of each other.
I stared at that figure without realizing it.
Haruna raised her head and gradually got closer to him.
Haruna’s lips touched his.
A kiss between lovers.
It was a very natural and natural behavior.
My heart was pounding.
She clutched her chest and looked at the scene.
I couldn’t bear to see any more of the kiss that lasted for a long time, so I closed the curtain.
I turned around and sat down on the floor.
“Ha… ha….”
I see, those two people. Already there.
That’s right.
Because we are lovers.
But why am I suffocating?
Why is my heart so tight?
“Yuko~ Mom wants to have dinner.”
I’m short of breath.
“Yuko?”
It hurts.
The sound of knocking on the door continued.
I sat there without any answer.
