167 – Little Sister
After the semester started, I realized how lazy I had been during the vacation.
It became a hassle for her to drive to and from school by car.
“I’m tired…I’m tired…”
“Woof.”
“Bite..”
Sniveling, who looked more like a doll’s cotton ball than a puppy, came up to me and lightly licked my cheek.
Up until a moment ago, I was just playing around. What happened?
Ha… But looking at such a cute ball of fur makes me feel at ease.
This is what it means to be healed.
“Are you hungry?”
From Noble mtl dot com
She handed out a piece of food she had placed on the living room table to Jjomul just in case.
Sure enough, it stuck its nose in my hand and ate it hungrily.
“Woof!”
“So that’s it…”
I guess I’m hungry.
Because Jjomul is still young, we feed him small amounts of food and often multiple times.
This is because it is not good to eat a lot at once, and it is important to make yourself less hungry as possible.
Still, I’m glad that Jjomul is eating well.
It is said that other dogs are unable to get used to a new environment when they are young, so there are cases where they do not eat or eat only a little.
Maybe it’s because I have a little b*tch, so I always eat well.
Still, it hurts a little.
It seems that his wife, Kkomul-i, and his mother, Ara, are better than me, his father.
It’s the same when it comes to hugging or being cute.
When you touch your cheek, you express that you are hungry or thirsty.
“Okay…Let’s go eat.”
I lifted Jjomul with one hand and held her in my arms.
When I put my nose to the fluffy ball of fur and smelled it, all I could smell was a dog’s unique, musty smell.
I guess it’s still too much to wash.

“Huh?”
After feeding the dog, I came out of the kitchen and checked my phone.
I received several texts from a number I hadn’t seen in a really long time.
If you’re going to send a text, just send one. Why did you send so many?
For a moment, I thought it was because something urgent came up, so I tilted my head and read the contents.
“It’s been a while since I saw you on the weekend… You said you were studying and you didn’t send me a single text.”
I received a text message apologizing for mentioning that I was a test taker until last year.
But since I wasn’t studying 24 hours a day, wasn’t there enough time to send texts?
“Well…I didn’t call or text either…”
I texted that I understood and threw myself on the sofa.
The soft sofa safely held my body without shaking.
“This weekend…Ara was also filming?”
I didn’t have anything to do this weekend anyway, but it turned out well.
I heard that Ara will appear in an entertainment program featuring Queens members.
It was a program where I had no idea what fun it was to watch because the content of the program changed every time.
“…Still, should I tell you what I’m going out for?”
I don’t want to be misunderstood, and I don’t want to meet in secret.
Just going out to see my family after a long time.
Afterwards, she washed the laundry to dry and put away the clothes.
In the past, I would leave it until it piled up and then turn it over all at once, but now whenever I see it piled up, I feel itchy to clean it.
Is this a housewife’s habit?
Of course, because it is summer, some things start to smell quickly.
Ara sometimes sweats a lot in the middle of summer.
“Anyway… Why do you want to see me?”
What on earth are you doing?
I was a little curious.
***
“This is right…?”
Even though the appointed time has passed at the appointed place, I can’t see him.
Even when she was young, she would always be late for school and her mom would call her from school.
Anyway, she couldn’t come to her senses even after becoming an adult.
Just come, I will somehow make you pay for the sin of making me wait.
“Let’s get in the car and wait.”
No matter how September is the end of summer, it is still hot.
From the exhaust fumes and heat emitted from cars, to the hot and intense heat emitted from outdoor units attached to buildings.
The weather is just unbearable.
Plus, sunglasses and a mask…
Oh, I’m dying. I’m dying.
“Oppa!”
“Huh?”
When I took the keys out of her pocket to get into the car, I heard her call me brother in a familiar voice.
Because it was a weekend morning, there were few people, and I was the only one on this side.
That cry was calling me.
“It’s here now, it’s here now.”
The hero who made me wait in this hot weather has arrived.
He took off his sunglasses and put them on his top, and placed both his hands on his waist.
“Kim Min-ji, my brother told me to hurry up, but I didn’t.”
“hehehe, I did it.”
The girl wearing light clothes and scratching her head in front of me is Minji Kim.
She is my younger sister who is only one year older than me.
Of course, she is my younger sister who has been sleeping in an orphanage since she was young, and our relationship is nothing more or less than that.
Still, I think I treated her with care like my own younger sister.
“You said you didn’t call your mom a week ago? Are you really trying to get scolded by your brother?”
“Hmm, I talked to the teacher on the phone this morning?”
“…..Really?”
“Yes.”
Then I have nothing to say.
She has already come out of the orphanage, and Minji is also an adult.
Let’s see then…
What should I grind it with?
If I don’t bother this guy right now, I’m going to go crazy out of frustration.
Yes, that was there.
“You don’t even think about waiting for the woman to come first and make her brother wait?”
“Oh, by the way, I’m sorry~”
He cleverly grabbed my arm and hugged me.
I sighed automatically and unconsciously stroked my head.
“Did you hear that my brother got married?”
I probably heard about it from my mom because I got married last year.
Still, there was a possibility that this guy just ignored it because he was not listening, so she asked.
“Of course I heard it! Are you watching QTube too?”
“That kid didn’t make a single phone call?”
“Well… I said it in a text message… I was busy studying…”
Minji hurriedly tries to change her mind.
I guess I feel sorry as expected.
“Get on it first. Let’s go to a cafe somewhere and talk.”
“I’m hungry. Can I go to Ashley?”
“Ashley? Or does she go to the hotel buffet or Lotte or something…”
“Oh… Oppa… I guess you have a lot of money?”
“There are a lot now.”
Even though he is like this, he is a man who earns 100 million won per month.
Can’t you buy my hungry sister a meal?
He was probably living in poverty, but I came out with the idea of giving him pocket money.
“I see… It seems like only yesterday you said you would make a lot of money when you grow up.”
“Come on, it’s hot, so let’s get in the car.”
“Okay………………………No way, is this your brother’s car?”
When I looked at my beloved Porsche Cayenne that Ara bought me, I felt as if Minji’s soul was coming out of her mouth.
Perhaps because she is a woman, she seems to know a lot about cars.
“What are you doing? Hurry up and get on it.”
“Uh…Yeah…”
We were only able to leave the place 30 minutes after the scheduled meeting time.
Now that I’m an adult, I hope we can at least keep our meeting times to a minimum.

“So? What are you doing these days?”
“Umm..”
Minji is preoccupied with eating.
When I see him eating well, I automatically smile bitterly.
After all, seeing someone eating delicious food automatically makes me smile.
“Eat slowly.”
“Oppa, eat quickly too.”
“I told you to eat slowly? Should I give you some water?”
“Coke…Cola…”
She started pounding her chest, probably choking from eating too hastily.
I thought she was a woman, so I recognized her from the moment she ate in a hurry.
I had to order drinks separately, so I called the staff and ordered a cola.
They were charging a ridiculous price for one can, but what can you do?
I immediately opened the can of Coke and held it out.
“Gulp…Gulp..”
“Sigh… My cute little sister turned into a complete glutton…”
She rested her chin on the table and looked at Minji.
The sight of him squeezing and drinking a 355ml can of cola can be said to be very similar to Ara.
Where do you learn that?
“Puha… It’s delicious.”
“Are you starving?”
“Yes. I was fired from my part-time job, so I starved for two days.”
“What…?”
I can’t believe you’re saying such an important thing now.
I wanted to rush in and ask him questions, but I thought I still had something to say, so I stayed quiet.
This guy is the type that hides things when you ask him about it.
“And I spent all my money and got kicked out because I couldn’t pay rent.”
“Does Mom know? What did she do that didn’t call my brother sooner?”
“She left home confidently. How can she contact her teacher? And how can she contact a man, even if he is her brother? A woman has dignity.”
I don’t have a home and I’m starving, so where’s my dignity?
I wanted to hit her on the head, but I held back.
Still, she slapped her forehead as she looked at Minji eating rice proudly.
I couldn’t say it was absurd, because I thought it was amazing that he was calm even though he was starving and homeless.
“So? Where’s all the luggage now?”
“Jim? There’s nothing like that.”
“What?”
“There are a lot of places where I can use my first salary from a part-time job. It was a gosiwon, and I only went in for my body.”
It’s not a studio, it’s a gosiwon.
If her mother had heard, she would have gone straight to her, grabbed her ears, and dragged her away.
In fact, when she heard the word Gosiwon,
For a moment, she thought about pulling her by the ears and taking her to the nursery.
But I’m an adult, and I’ve already left, so I can’t go back…
Ha…. I just sigh a lot.
She must have received self-reliance support…
How did you do that?
He’s not the type to waste money.
I have a headache.
Even though it’s like this, seeing her lose face and such, I guess I’m less hungry.
She felt the urge to leave him alone, but she held back.
