Episode 54. School trip (12)
The course on the last day of the school trip ended with a visit to the Grapefruit Fair.
“There’s an amusement park next door, but it’s a fair.”
By the way, the person next to me grumbling like that is Lee Lee.
Today, as the schedules of middle and high school students overlap, I ended up going out with Sunwoo and my older sisters.
“Hey, we went to the amusement park together last time. Calm down.”
“When did you two leave without me?”
Seong Joo-yeon said as if she was disappointed, and Ga-hee noona smiled and asked to talk about her visit.
“Ah, I don’t know about the two of you. The other day, I did it with Yooyoung, Taeyang, and Lee.”
“Huh? Are you white?”
Calm Kahi noona suddenly raised her hand on her white sister’s shoulder with her seriousness on her face.
“Why didn’t you call me? Huh?”
Like Seong Joo-yeon, it wasn’t a joke, it was a sincere question.
As if sister Lee didn’t care, she answered instead.
“There are 4 tickets, but Yooyoung and Taeyang both want to go, so stop.”
“hehehehe, sorry. Gahee. Let’s go together next time.”
The older sisters don’t seem to mind when they see Kahi noona that way.
Kahi noona nodded her head loudly.
“Next time, go hang out with the noonas. Because I don’t like it very much.”
I nailed it like that. Because I don’t want to be dragged away again.
“Taeyang, then where do you like to go to play?”
Kahi noona persistently asked. The destination doesn’t matter…
“Where are you going to play? Then I will go too.”
Yooyoung, who had been quietly listening by, also approached.
But, Yooyoung. Are you really okay with staying with me until the last day?
I suggested that it would be better for the girls to make memories together on the last day on the bus.
But for some reason, Lee Yoo-young said, she hadn’t separated from me since morning.
“I don’t want to go out for a while. Bothered.”
As I kept refusing, the older sisters and Yooyoung looked sad.
Then, we talked about going somewhere to play for a while.
“Isn’t Sunwoo going somewhere to play?”
White noona also asked Seonwoo.
If Seonwoo says he’s going, I have to follow him.
I paid attention to it and turned my attention to it. Seong Joo-yeon was next to Seon-woo, as always. And the glass was not visible.
He usually hangs next to Seonwoo, but where did he go?
It’s not like I opened my heart to someone else in this short amount of time.
I wondered and looked around. Yuri was quietly following us at a distance. She didn’t look good.
“Huh?”
Perhaps because I saw it, Yuri felt her gaze and our eyes met.
“Ugh… eww… “
Yuri knocked her eyes down and her body trembled.
Is it because of yesterday?
Actually, it was only scary that I cursed and shouted on the phone like a bully.
“Yuri.”
The white older sister approached to pick up the glass as well. If it’s a problem…
“Huh?… Oh, why is that?”
“Huh? What kind of respect?”
Since the image of her younger brother is ruined, even the older sister’s image has changed terribly.
Yuri was trembling and afraid of her white sister.
“Huh? Why is that, Yuri?”
“Hick! Crime… sorry!”
“What?”
Thanks to that, the children around her also felt strange and focused their attention on Yuri.
“Sorry! I won’t go any further!!”
Then, as if to stir up her hysteria, Yuri ran out, wrapping her arms around her body.
“I don’t know what’s going on, but I’ll follow you.”
Seonwoo ran to find Yuri, who calmly ran away.
Seong Joo-yeon’s expression slightly distorted, and she glanced back at me.
As if asking me to do something, she pointed to the place she fled to with a nod of her head.
Haa~ I’m going crazy.
I thought all the flags were broken, but what is this?
“What should I do?”
“Since there seems to be a misunderstanding, should I go after it?”
“Sunwoo will calm me down and come back.”
I’ll go and see what’s going on. It’s troublesome when glass flags pile up.
“If you go alone, I will follow you.”
“Oh, Taeyang!”
I ran at full speed so no one could catch up.
It wasn’t even in the game, so I don’t know where it went, but there are places I can guess.
If you go around a few places where there are few people and the light is not good, you will find it.
————
My prediction was correct.
It wasn’t long before I saw Yuri sitting on a shadowy bench and trembling.
Sunwoo is not yet visible.
Actually, Seonwoo followed after him too late, so I was lucky to find him first.
Well… But if I openly approach it, I think it will have the opposite effect. Should I hide and watch?
I met eyes with Yuri right away, putting that conflict to shame.
“Uh… that… Mi-I’m sorry!”
“Hey wait!”
Yuri stopped him from standing up. It’s hard to run away again.
“Haa~ Don’t run away, stay still.”
“Ugh…… “
Yuri covered his face with his arm, as if trying to take a defensive stance.
“I won’t hit you.”
At that, Yuri carefully lowered her arm. Those eyes were moist.
“Don’t run away, wait. Don’t bother.”
After saying that, I pulled out two drinks from a nearby vending machine.
From noble mtl dot com.
Honestly, it doesn’t matter what happens to my image. Rather, the more broken it is, the less likely it is to get entangled with glass.
The problem is the older sisters.
If I have an image of a bully to the white noona and the close noonas around me for no reason, Yuri will definitely avoid it.
Then, it would be perfect if Seonwoo was also avoided.
I’d rather avoid Seon-wu as it is, then I won’t have to worry about Yuri any more. Because Yuri is completely out of her group of heroines.
“……… “
– I saw that Menhera running and screaming.
“Why do you keep thinking of me crying?”
That crybaby just cried all night during this field trip.
I feel like I’m being robbed in class.
“Haa~”
Have you become too attached?
I don’t know if it sounds funny, but I don’t know if he has sympathy for Yuri.
She doesn’t change the fact that she has to separate Sunwoo, but she doesn’t want to leave Yuri alone like this. If she gets close with her older sisters, she’ll be able to do well in her school life, too.
Also, just because she abandoned her child who was alone, the image of her older sisters would also deteriorate.
So, the operation Must continue.
“Have you calmed down?”
She asked, holding out a drink. Yuri still trembled and carefully took her drink.
And when I sat down next to the bench, I flinched. It looked as if a wild beast was sitting next to it, frightened and frozen.
“Is it because of what happened yesterday?”
“Yes? Oh, that’s what I was trying to hear… It’s not… “
Yuri’s voice fills in. At this point, she even cried, but she didn’t think I cried.
After looking around for nothing, she opened her mouth.
“I don’t hit you. It’s not like I’m just messing around with anyone.”
Of course, the tone continued to reveal a casual state.
“I was angry and said something stupid yesterday, so don’t worry about it.”
“… Yes.”
“And unlike me, my sisters are kind people.”
“Yes?”
“I got twisted and became this kind of guy, but my sisters aren’t like that. Seonwoo hyung… I don’t know what.”
“Ah, yes… “
“My sisters don’t know that I am this kind of person, so please keep it a secret.”
“……… “
“Okay, right?”
As I stared at him horribly, Yuri nodded excessively, saying he understood.
“Yes. That… I won’t tell you…… Yo. This.”
“I just ignore them and get along with my noonas. Otherwise, I think it’s because of me, so I’m more annoyed for no reason.”
“Yes. I’ll try my best.”
“Then there is no problem now, so let’s go back.”
Huh~ This is the end of what I did.
Yuri is still afraid of me, but she won’t be wary of her sisters either.
Yuri also showed no sign of running away anymore, so she immediately called her older sister in white.
“Nuna, I found Yuri noona. It seems a bit genuine.”
[Whew~ Thank goodness. I was worried because Yuri didn’t answer the phone.]
“Yuri noona, didn’t you answer the phone?”
“Ah, that… My phone broke yesterday.”
[…] He said he couldn’t answer the phone because his phone was broken.]
I dropped my phone last night and it seems to be broken.
I was wearing a case with a bunch of pretty flashy things, but is it easily broken?
Yuri noona took out her phone and showed it as proof. The liquid crystal was shattered as if there was a stone on the floor.
This was also why there was no reply to the SNS chat yesterday.
“I’ll have to fix it later or buy a new one.”
In the first place, even if Yuri ran away, there was no way to check the time or contact her. Because she has a super glassy personality, she won’t be able to talk to strangers, let alone borrow her phone.
If I missed it without catching it, I could have been in big trouble.
I went back to where my older sisters were safely.
“Yuri, are you okay?”
“Ah, yes. I’m so sorry everyone! It’s my fault!”
Yuri bowed her head and apologized. She is yes, she is, but she is kind noonas and Seonwoo all passed over favorably.
White noona even asked if she had done anything wrong.
Only Seong Joo-yeon showed a little discomfort, but she was resolved, so she moved on.
“I’m so sorry everyone!”
However, Yuri kept apologizing and almost annoyed me.
When Seong Joo-yeon asked her to stop, she finally felt intimidated and quit.
————
The field trip is finally over.
Now on the bus back home.
Feeling tired in my tired body, I left a word about my impressions of this field trip.
“I was really tired.”
“I really enjoyed it~”
Yooyoung said with a bright smile, as if he was still upbeat. And she came, leaning her head on my shoulder coyly.
Naturally, I raised her shoulders to restrain her.
“Ooh~ I’m tired, but this much is fine.”
“I hate it.”
“I like the sun and leaning on my shoulder. It’s comfortable when we lean on each other~”
See this? Now you are very blatant.
I heard giggling behind me.
Both boys and girls were making strange chirashi while looking at this side.
Very, Yu-Young is having fun with her friends and my friends.
I argued while glaring at them.
“If you’re that hungry for romance, why don’t you guys go out with each other?”
Then the group of boys and girls looked at each other for a while and then wow! Made the same noise.
“As expected, dating should be seen by good men and women.”
“Your dating history is more fun.”
“Am I a clown to you guys?”
“Taeyang, calm down. Guys, you guys should stop too.”
Yoo-Young restrained the children around her, but she gave a slightly proud look.
I’m not stopping that, I’m sure I’m enjoying it.
“I say it again, we are not really in a relationship.”
“But we went together the whole school trip.”
“That’s because my sister and her friends are close to Yooyoung, so we went together.”
“Hmm… You go to school trips with your older sister and go together?”
“My older sister doesn’t even pretend to know me outside.”
Why do you make us weird people when your brother and sister don’t get along?
Anyway, while trying to clear up the misunderstanding, I gave up after realizing that these guys were more interested in fun than facts.
“Eh~ I’m tired.”
There’s no way Yooyoung will accept her heart in the future, so let’s be patient.
Thanks to that, I became more tired. Afterwards, I slept on the plane and bus all the way home, closing my eyes.
————
The day after the school trip ended.
Since it was the weekend, I was lying on the bed enjoying a bit of comfort when my older sister knocked and came in.
“Taeyang, how long are you going to lie around for the weekend?”
“I am tired. I went on a trip yesterday.”
“Aren’t you lacking in stamina?”
Saying that, the white older sister pokes my side playfully.
“Don’t stab me. So what is it?”
“Taeyang, you made a promise with Yooyoung.”
“Appointment with Yooyoung? Oh, did you say this was your last chance?”
On the condition that it was her last chance, she allowed her to accompany her throughout the school trip.
Even when we parted yesterday, he looked bright, so of course I thought he had forgotten about it, but I never thought he would contact me like this first.
But why did you call White noona instead of me?
“Yooyoung said you accepted it.”
“What? What does that mean?”
I looked at my sister’s phone in embarrassment.
Yooyoung: Taeyang also accepted my heart. In addition to cookies, I even prepared a confession phrase!!
“I need to contact you right away and decline it.”
What is that bastard’s cookie?
