Episode 229. Childhood Friend (2)
“Ha-how fast is it really?”
The dark cloudy sky with raindrops now knocking on my head.
I ran down a dark, narrow alley.
Just a moment ago, I was running while looking at my older sister’s back, but now I can’t see her.
“Ha-ha-ha-…… “
Maybe it’s because I haven’t been exercising lately, but I get out of breath easily.
I have really become very weak.
The amount of rain drenching my head is increasing.
Now I have to use an umbrella.
Now that I think about it……
“Come on, sister, you left your umbrella and ran away.”
Wouldn’t it be raining hard right now?
Her heart ached when she thought of her older sister Lee, who was crying non-stop in the rain with her cold body.
“Anyway, here…… “
This is the outskirts of a town I haven’t been to in a while.
It’s not like I didn’t know the way around because I came here often when I was young.
“No, wait a minute…” … “
Do you want to be there?
———
10 Years ago.
The day after I gave up on showing Taeyang wearing a dress.
The sky that day was also dark.
On a day when it was expected to rain, the vacant lot was naturally empty.
There is just one boyish girl sitting in the corner.
“If you find out I’m a woman…… “Will Taeyang be disappointed?”
If he were a real man, he wouldn’t have been heartbroken by these feelings and wouldn’t have been in pain looking at Taeyang.
The raindrops falling little by little gradually became clearer and became strong raindrops.
“……… “
Iri, who had not thought of bringing an umbrella, got completely wet and quietly sobbed as she felt her body becoming cold.
＜p class=”a”＞From Noble mtl dot com“Here, brother?”
“…… “Sun?”
Iri quickly wiped away her tears.
“Brother, what are you doing here?”
“Oh, it’s nothing.”
Taeyang approached the wolf and held out the umbrella he was using to stop the wolf from getting hit by the rain.
“Taeyang, you use it. “Because I’m already wet.”
Taeyang shook his head and did not bend his arm holding out the umbrella.
Iri sighed and stood next to Taeyang before he got any more wet.
“…… “Did you cry?”
“What? “When did you see your brother cry?”
“But just now…” “
“I had something to think about for a moment. And my brother is healthy, so it’s okay to get caught in the rain!”
Wolf tried to smile, but for the first time, Taeyang……
I felt that Iri was not just smiling.
This was the first time I learned that people can laugh really sadly.
“Yes… “Let’s go home together.”
“Yes.”
But he didn’t know the reason and wanted to hide his pain, so he didn’t bother to ask.
———
I don’t know why that place came to mind, or something that happened in the past.
But when I got near here, I suddenly remembered that vacant lot.
I used to come here often when I immaturely followed older sister Lee, calling her older brother.
Once, I went to the place where my older sister was secretly crying.
At the time, I didn’t know why I was crying so sadly, but now I know.
I have to find it somehow and soothe it.
After walking a bit, we arrived at a large open space.
‘I didn’t expect much. ‘You were really here.’
I belatedly found Sister Lee standing leaning against the wall in the vacant lot, looking at her phone.
Have you checked the chat now?
“Sister… “
“…… !!”
Sister Lee looked at me in surprise.
Traces of having already cried remain on Lee Lee’s face.
Sister Lee, who lifted her back from the wall, quickly tried to run away.
“Come on, sister. “Just wait a moment!”
“……… What?”
Sister Lee finally gave up on running away and she came a little closer to me.
“Come on, sister. “It’s dangerous for her to run suddenly when it’s raining.”
What should a track and field athlete do if he falls and gets hurt while running too hard on a slippery road on a rainy day?
Lee Lee stood in front of me and frowned.
She was so angry that she trembled as if she could not control it.
“Why did you come after me?!”
“Why did you come? “Because my sister suddenly ran away.”
“It’s raining this much?! “What if I get so wet that I catch a cold?!”
“……… “
Her words were not only filled with anger.
Even in this shocking situation,
Even in situations where her heart was hurt and she thought she had been betrayed, Lee Lee……
She was more worried about me than herself.
“You can just leave Gahi alone! I should have gone home or taken shelter from the rain at Kahi’s house!! “What are you going to do if everyone is worried!!”
I approached my older sister.
Should I pretend not to notice the tears flowing down my cheeks like before?
I don’t like that.
“I told you to stop coming to me and go back quickly! Don’t lie down with a fever again!”
Sister Lee Lee is truly an idiot.
Instead of doing this, I would rather become a yandere.
Her eyes become cloudy and she becomes obsessed with having me,
Pressing me to get married,
Otherwise, instead of being quietly discouraged, you can just scream and cling to it asking why you can’t do it.
It’s better for me to be in trouble than for my sister to get hurt.
“Go away. I’m home now too… “
Lee Lee kissed me so I couldn’t say anything more.
“Eup…… “
Tak-
Before I could even feel the warmth of her lips, Lee Lee pushed my shoulder.
“Kim Taeyang, you’re crazy!! “What are you going to do if Kahi sees something like this?!”
“That’s okay.”
“There’s no way it’s going to be okay! “Are you really like this?”
“Yes. Such a guy. Kahi and others already know.”
“Huh?”
Lee Lee was taken aback for a moment and then changed her words.
“… Oh, anyway, I’ll make it up to you like nothing happened. “Go home quickly.”
You act like you’re going away at any moment, so how can I go home alone?
“I’ll tell you everything. “Why did you call my sister so persistently today?”
“That’s enough. “She was trying to say that she was dating Kahi anyway.”
I shook my head.
“I’m not only dating Kahi.”
“…… What?”
Everyone gathered together and tried to talk.
That would be more persuasive.
To be precise, you will believe what I say.
But now, I have to hold my sister here and tell her.
That way we can all talk together later.
“I decided to date not only Kahi, but Yuri, Yooyoung, and Juyeon.”
My sister froze as if wondering what this meant.
“What, what? “Did I hear you wrong?”
“No, you heard me correctly. “Because we all agreed to do it.”
“There’s no way that’s possible!”
Is it still denial at first?
Well, it’s strange that Kahi, Yuri, and Yooyoung come up with these ideas so casually.
Juyeon and Lee Lee’s reactions are typical.
“And today I was going to confess to Lee Lee.”
“What happened earlier…?” “
“Because Lee Lee is one of the women I like.”
“……… “Ah, are you making fun of me on purpose?”
“No. I sincerely… “
“Don’t be funny!!”
The shouting was so loud that even I was startled.
“Come on sister…… “
“Taeyang, you never saw me as a woman in the first place. “Only the name changed to Noona, but it was no different from before.”
In the past……
Perhaps it was when I mistook Sister Lee Lee for a man and called her older brother.
It still hurt.
“That’s right, don’t go on and on about things like you like me for fear of getting into trouble! “Because I gave up everything.”
“……… “
Sister Lee took her steps down that path.
She got out of the umbrella I had put on her earlier, got caught in the rain, and walked away from her side.
“If you follow me, I’ll never see you again!”
I thought I would leave if I missed her like this, but when she declared that I would never see her again even if I chased after her, I just bit her lip.
“I understand after seeing it. “What have I done so far?”
In the meantime, he has been doing terrible things to Kahi, Yooyoung, and other people.
They were afraid because she was a yandere, so they did not view her as a woman, as a person other than a ‘game heroine.’
I guess that’s why Lee Lee was hurt, too.
Weing-
The phone rang.
White Sister: Where are you?
When I came to my senses, the chat had been coming since before.
There are three chats that Kahi noona is worried about.
There are 34 chats about White Sister coming out to meet us because it was raining.
There have been about 5 phone calls.
First, let’s get in quickly.
——————
“What were you doing in the rain like that?”
“I’m sorry, White Sister. “I have some work to do.”
“What’s going on?”
“We’ll talk later…” “I need to consult.”
“Ha~ I understand. First, wash it quickly.”
I trudged down the entrance hallway.
“I will clean the entrance hallway later.”
“Okay, go quickly and take a shower. “If I catch a cold, they ban me from going out again?”
Anyway, there was something I wanted to ask White Sister a while ago.
“Can I ask you just one thing?”
“What is it?”
“Why did you bring a kitchen knife again?”
It was nice to meet them, but the white sister came with a kitchen knife and I was shocked.
I thought he was finally going to kill me because he kept ignoring my phone calls.
Even on the way home, I was scared that they might put me in a reflex mode to trap me in the house.
“It’s for self-defense.”
Who carries a kitchen knife for self-defense?
First of all, I didn’t want to think about anything else, so I didn’t say anything and went in to take a shower.
“Phew—what should I do now?”
There is too much karma accumulated.
The emotional rift is too deep to bury it now with a harem declaration.
“But I have no intention of giving up, but… “
-Taeyang, you never saw me as a woman in the first place. Only the name changed to Noona, but it was no different from before.
It’s wrong to say that you don’t see her as a woman.
Sister Lee is completely misunderstanding.
An attractive woman keeps wooing me, hugging me,
I only show a lot of cute sides that I would never show to other people.
I also had a hard time holding it in.
It’s true that I treated him comfortably, but that’s because he was my childhood friend.
It’s not that I didn’t see Lee Lee as a woman.
So, I have to tell my sister directly.
What an attractive woman Lee Lee is.
—————
“Knock-knock-!”
“I have too much fever?”
“I just need to rest a little.”
“It’s true like this. “No matter how healthy a child is, he or she will catch a cold if he or she runs around in the rain.”
Iri’s mother placed her hand on her daughter’s forehead.
I had already measured her temperature with a thermometer, but it was like a ball of fire that I could tell even if I touched it with my hand.
Iri, who covered herself with a blanket on her bed, said while sweating.
“It will get better if you lie down for a while, so why make a fuss?”
“…… “What happened yesterday?”
“…… “I just went for a walk after training and went running because it rained.”
Yesterday, she was surprised when her daughter suddenly came home looking like a wet mess from her rain.
She was especially worried that something was wrong because she seemed to be crying, but her daughter didn’t say anything.
Even if I ask now, I don’t think they will answer.
“Well, anyway, I heard that fools don’t catch colds, so I thought my daughter wouldn’t catch it either.”
“What do you mean!”
“It’s a joke. “Don’t overexert yourself and lie down.”
“Really…… “
After placing her wet towel on Iri’s forehead again, Iri’s mother left her room.
“Mom, I’m going to the market. I’m lying down and resting. “If anything happens, call me.”
“Yes.”
I closed my eyes for a moment to take a nap.
………
＜p class=”a”＞From Noble mtl dot com“Uhm…… “
Even when I opened my eyes, my mind was still in a dazed state.
After being dazed for a moment due to headache and fever, a cold towel was placed on Iri’s forehead again.
“Has Mom come back already?”
Iri turned her head at her moist and cold touch.
“Oh, sister, are you awake?”
“……… Kim Taeyang.”
In the corner of her vision, she saw her childhood friend, whom she had a crush on, taking care of her diligently.
