Episode 230. Childhood Friend (3)
“Why are you here…… “
“Don’t force yourself to stand up, just lie down.”
I stopped Lee Lee, who was trying to raise her upper body.
“Why are you here?”
“The lady asked for it.”
“My mom?”
“Yes.”
I also never expected that my older sister would be lying in bed so sick.
I happened to run into Lee Lee’s mother on my way out and heard her story.
She had to go grocery shopping for a moment, but she was worried, so she asked me to stay with her for a moment.
“Anyway, Mom… Why bother bothering people passing by… “
“Am I just a kid passing by? “We’re childhood friends, so we’re not that cold-hearted.”
Sister Lee looked at me quietly.
Full of worry, as if he was worried about something.
“Don’t worry. “I just came here to take care of someone who was sick, regardless of what I did yesterday.”
Saying that, I put aside the bucket of water that I had just soaked Sister Lee’s wet towel in.
I sat down in her chair and faced my older sister.
There was only awkward silence for a while.
My sister and I spent time together without saying anything.
It was Lee Lee who spoke first.
“You are doing this right now…… Do Kahi and the others know?”
Is she telling me not to hurt her female friends by taking care of a girl she’s not dating for no reason?
After learning of Lee Lee’s concerns, I looked at her phone screen for a moment.
“I already told you. “My sister is sick and I am taking care of her.”
“Really?”
“Yes, in a little while…” “
“Be nice to your girlfriend. “Not me.”
Sister Lee cut her off and spoke first.
And then she turned her head to look at me expressionlessly.
“Whoa~ Take a break first. “Why don’t you get some more sleep?”
First of all, the priority is for the sick person to rest a little more comfortably.
I also plan to step down once the lady comes.
If I stay here, you might not be able to rest comfortably.
It’s hard to make decisions about dating someone or starting a harem, and it’s not too late to talk about complicated stories even after your body gets better.
As long as sister Lee doesn’t avoid me from now on.
“I can finish the story after my cold is over, so please stay like this for now.”
“Ha~ I’m already awake.”
“Then lie down quietly. “If you need anything, let me know.”
“Give me a glass of water.”
He handed me a glass of lukewarm water, took the cup again, and the room became quiet again.
It’s still awkward.
Even if you have been childhood friends for 10 years, do you still have awkward moments?
“If you’re going to stay still, why don’t you say something?”
Lee Lee said bluntly, as if she couldn’t stand the awkward atmosphere.
“I’m sorry about yesterday.”
We decided to talk about it later, but I wanted to apologize now.
Perhaps because she didn’t know that I would suddenly apologize, Lee Lee looked at me for a moment and then sighed.
“Yes, I was quite shocked too.”
“Thanks to you, my older sister is lying sick like this.”
“You seem to be mistaken, but you didn’t lie down sick because I got dumped, right?”
“Who said it was kicked?”
“Haa~”
The story lingered again.
Even though I openly confessed yesterday, Lee Lee seems to think that I dumped him because he had another girlfriend.
No, specifically, my older sister dumped me.
They said it shouldn’t be like this.
“Well, it’s something that can’t be helped, and it’s not that Taeyang didn’t do well. “Because whoever you choose is your heart.”
“Hey, sister… “
“If I suddenly confess again, will I die?”
Ugh… I was startled without realizing it by the harsh words.
However, the voice was not as strong as before because it lacked energy.
“Huh~ It’s not like that.”
I have a sense of humor too.
I have no intention of bringing up such an important issue even though I am in such pain.
Putting the harem story aside, I just have to apologize first.
“That’s not it, I want to apologize for what happened in the past.”
“What happened in the past?”
I took a deep breath as I looked at my sister Lee again.
I really want to pick this up and move on.
“No matter how young I was, I’m sorry for calling you ‘hyung’ and mistaking you for a boy!”
“What?”
I have nothing to say even if my older sister makes a puzzled expression.
However, I was so sorry that no matter how many times I apologized, it would not be enough.
“You kept putting pressure on me by calling me brother. I have useless expectations… “Isn’t that why she was a burden to her older sister?”
“No, wait, why are you bringing up the past? “Now that you’ve come?”
“I think I need to apologize for this.”
Lee Lee looked at me with complicated eyes for a moment, then shook her head and sighed.
“That’s enough. “I don’t even know why I’m apologizing.”
“I wondered if it was because of me that Sister Lee cried in that vacant lot before.”
“……… What is he saying now?”
Sister Lee said a little nervously, turned her body to her side and lay down with her back to me.
“Oh, then the wet towel will fall out.”
I heard the towel dripping.
While doing so, he also touched Sister Lee’s forehead.
“Ugh… “What, suddenly?”
“Fortunately, it looks like the fever has subsided a bit.”
“Don’t touch my head because it hurts.”
After putting the wet towel back on Sister Iri’s forehead, she spoke.
“Even if it was my mistake, I wanted to apologize properly. “Because I kept thinking that I had done something terrible to my sister.”
“Okay, I’ll accept your apology. “Don’t worry too much.”
Lee Lee looked annoyed and then averted her gaze.
“Yesterday, when you suddenly confessed to me, I got angry and screamed because I thought it was too obvious.”
-Taeyang, you never saw me as a woman. Only her name changed to older sister, and she was no different from before.
As she remembers yesterday’s events again, her heart tightens.
For some reason, I don’t want to let things go on like this.
I want to correct this one thing.
“It is wrong to say that no woman has ever seen Sister Lee.”
“I know. “It’s just something that came out of nowhere.”
Now, Lee Lee’s cold reaction has finally calmed down.
Her face turned red and I thought she might have a fever again, but when I heard her voice, I saw that she was embarrassed.
“No, I want you to understand properly.”
“What?”
“Do you know how much trouble I’ve been in since Lee Lee’s older sister seduced me with her charm?”
“What, what are you saying!”
I’m such a terrible person, too, for making fun of a sick person.
But I have no intention of quitting.
“He keeps hugging me and showing off his attractive body. He’s begging me to marry him. He keeps showing cuteness to me that he doesn’t show to his juniors.”
“Ugh!! Okay, stop it!!”
“Every time I go on a trip, I wear a revealing bikini and seduce her. Is there any man who wouldn’t be swayed?”
“Hey! Stop!!”
I have to stop.
Because the body temperature may rise again.
I should end with the last word.
“Do you understand, sister? “It’s difficult because my older sister is such an attractive woman.”
“Ugh… Anyway, I’m good at speaking.”
Huh? You don’t believe me?
“If you don’t believe me, should I at least fill out the marriage registration today?”
“What, what, what are you saying? Oh, is that still the story?”
Who was the one who brought up marriage so much?
“No matter how unfavorable the situation may be for me, I won’t ask a woman I’m not interested in to marry me.”
“… I don’t know!”
Lee Lee threw down the wet towel and buried her face in her pillow.
As if he didn’t want to show any more embarrassed expressions.
After trying hard to hide my expression, I let out a deep sigh…
Sister Lee asked bluntly again.
“You have a singer. “Don’t do this to me, do this to Kahi.”
Are we back to this story again?
Well, the story is not over yet.
“Why aren’t the kids looking for you? Normally, I would try not to leave even for a moment.”
“Yes, if that’s the case… “
Ding Dong-
Ah, you’re here at the right time.
“I’m sorry, Sister Lee. “When I told my sister that she had a cold, everyone made a fuss about wanting to come visit her.”
“…… “
“If it’s going to be noisy, I’ll send it back.”
“Ha~ That’s it.”
“I’m sorry.”
“You came to visit me because you were thinking of me, so why are you sorry?”
Sister Lee Lee said something strange to me and told me to bring it.
After briefly asking for understanding, I let in the guests who had come to visit.
“Illya, are you okay?”
“Yes, I’m sorry for worrying everyone.”
“Hey, this over there… “
“You don’t have to buy glass for no reason.”
“Sister, lie down! “Because we’re okay.”
“No, I also feel better thanks to Taeyang.”
Lee Lee welcomed her guest without any hesitation.
“Taeyang, you worked hard. Now, my sister will do it.”
“No, white sister. “There’s nothing to do anymore.”
The white sister picked up a bucket of water, but there was nothing to do now.
Since the fever has gone down, there won’t be any need for wet towels.
By the way, is it a bit weird that people suddenly flocked into the room?
I’m sure I only contacted Hayan and Kahi, but it seems like everyone found out and came.
“Hey, but isn’t it too noisy?”
“It’s okay. “I feel at ease because I get together with members I always hang out with.”
At Juyeon’s words, Lee Lee waved her hand and laughed.
The moment I face Kahi noona with that smile,
Lee Lee avoided her gaze from Kahi.
Other people may not have noticed, but as someone who knows what happened yesterday, I could tell.
Gahi noona also noticed and had a complicated expression on her face.
Yesterday, I told you in chat that things didn’t work out properly.
Still, I asked you not to talk about that today.
Other female friends won’t even notice it.
“I think I’ll feel better now if I get some sleep.”
“Well, they say fools don’t catch colds. “It would be strange if Iri continued to suffer.”
“Sung Joo-yeon, do you want to die?”
“hahahaha, I’m just kidding, I can see you’re full of energy and you’re all better.”
We joked and talked to each other like that.
My female friends seemed to be particularly considerate and didn’t bother to stick close to me this time.
Do you know what happened with Lee Lee?
I asked Kahi noona to keep it a secret, so that wouldn’t be possible.
“Ah, kids. “Taeyang said that.”
While looking at her female friends for a moment, she said as if she remembered her older sister.
“Are you guys really dating Taeyang?”
“……… “
“Everything?”
Lee Lee’s sister was the first to bring up the topic.
I thought Sister Lee was reluctant to bring up the topic, so she tried to talk about it little by little after her cold got better.
Lee Lee didn’t care about any of that, and she looked at everyone intently.
“Answer me honestly.”
＜p class=”a”＞From Noble mtl dot com“Yes.”
It was Kahi’s older sister who answered first.
“Me, Yuri, Yooyoung, and Juyeon have all decided to date Taeyang.”
The other three also nodded in agreement.
“Is what Taeyang says true?”
“That’s right, I called you yesterday to talk about that too.”
“Ho, I was wondering if you might feel the same way.”
Sister Lee was taken aback for a moment, then she looked at her sister in white.
The white sister just shrugged her shoulders.
Sister Lee was somewhat taken aback by the sight of a third party being left to their own devices.
This is a natural reaction.
“What on earth are you all thinking?”
“Illya, you may think it’s strange.”
“That’s strange!”
Lee Lee told a story that was extremely common sense.
“It’s cheating for a man to have multiple women!”
“Everyone agreed and gave permission, so it’s okay.”
“Yeah, but… that… “Well, something is strange!!”
For a moment, Sister Lee seemed to have frozen her brain and found it difficult to find anything to say.
If she’s sick and embarrassed, she probably won’t be able to turn her head.
I’m worried that Lee Lee is overdoing things again.
This is why I was planning to talk about it later when I was better.
“It’s okay. Come here, sister. “There are a few countries where that is possible.”
“I’m also looking into going abroad. “If it doesn’t work out, I plan to interfere in domestic policy as well.”
No matter how many times I hear Kahi’s words, they are truly amazing.
You can control the government without any thought.
And if there’s anything more scary than Kahi’s older sister, it’s probably Lee Yu-young’s state of being alone.
“Also, I heard rumors that there are some parents who allow polygamy.”
“Yooyoung. “Where on earth did that rumor come from?”
When Joo-yeon’s older sister asked in confusion, Lee Yu-young just smiled and said that she was on the Internet.
Where does Yooyoung go and what does she listen to?
Anyway, Lee Lee had a hard time understanding even after hearing that.
“Is that really possible?”
Lee Lee shook her head and sighed heavily.
“Ha~ I don’t know either. Head hurts.”
“It’s okay. “There’s nothing complicated.”
Kahi’s sister put an end to the story.
“We want Taeyang. But wouldn’t it be sad if there was only one person who could have Taeyang?”
“…… Even though… “
“So we just came up with the best alternative so that we can have Taeyang.”
“That’s right, Taeyang never wants to give up, but he also doesn’t want the other kids to be sad.”
Yuri said, hugging my arm.
After seeing that, Sister Lee sighed deeply and lay down on her bed again.
“I really…… “
“If Lee Lee wants to marry Taeyang, we will all approve.”
“……… “
So yesterday, I also confessed to my older sister.
This is my girlfriend…
No, she was thinking of asking him to be his future wife.
“I want to rest. “I think I need to cool off a bit.”
And Sister Lee lay down with her back to us.
“Hey…… “
“I understand.”
Knock-
At that moment, there was a knock on the door and her aunt came in.
“Taeyang, are you okay here? “Oh, friends?”
“Oh, hello.”
“Ma’am, I’m sorry for coming all of a sudden.”
“Hohoho, Taeyang too~ Why are you talking like that? “Thank you all for coming.”
Since the lady came back too, she decided that everyone would go back.
“Illya, then get some rest.”
“I’ll go and see.”
Everyone said hello and I was about to leave the room.
“Kim Taeyang, buy me something to eat. “I’m too hungry to just eat porridge.”
“Huh? Okay.”
“Something with meat.”
I have to come back again.
————
On the way back after visiting the hospital.
“I guess it’s a choice that Lee Lee will find repulsive.”
“I see. “I thought you would like it.”
“There’s nothing we can do. “Because you can’t force it.”
Everyone looked so sad.
Even if the number of crony competitors decreases, the stake that I can own increases.
But I have had some time with my older sister.
She was so desperate for her older sister that she was feeling sorry for her as a friend who had gone through the same thing by her side.
I secretly told my amazing female friends who not only cherish me but also the people around me.
“You’re holding back the way you raise your eyebrows?”
“Huh?”
“I guess I thought I couldn’t see you if you turned over in bed.”
The person who got angry when I confessed to him yesterday reacts that way when I tell him that he can definitely have me now.
Asking me to run errands to get you something to eat is probably because he wants to be with me.
“Are you saying you were avoiding me on purpose because you were embarrassed?”
“Yes. “My childhood friend is secretly shy.”
—————
Iri, who was left alone in the room, lay down and sighed deeply.
“No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think this is right. As an older person, it stings……… “
Iri thought for a moment and picked up her phone.
“Yes, it would be better to scold him in a serious place. Where to talk…… “
Lee looks around the place on his phone like that.
“Are you planning a date course?”
“Wow, what a surprise! “Uh, when did mom come home?”
“Hmm~ Are you going to go with Taeyang?”
“I told you to knock and come in! And it’s not a date!”
“Yes, yes. “Mom, the cafe downstairs looks nice.”
“Well, it’s not a date!!”
Even though his fever went down, his face felt hot again.
