As he opened the door and entered the house, the smell of fragrant food wrapped around Yu-jin’s nose.
“I was just about to have lunch. You said you didn’t eat breakfast either? come and wash your hands It’s going to be slow, but I’ll have to eat something.”
Dasom continued talking, pretending it was okay, but it wasn’t the amount of food anyone could eat alone.
“I didn’t come here to be an idiot.”
“Okay, if you were going to come to my sister’s house, you should have prepared something like this.”
Yoo Yu-jin, who came back from the bathroom, had no choice but to open her mouth when she saw the bowl of rice in front of her.
“No, anyway, this is too⋯⋯.”
“Dojin-ah, do you know the word karma?”
Dasom, who forcibly sat Yoo-jin, who slowly pulled out her feet, into a chair, gave him a spoon and gave him a fishy smile.
“It will come back as much as you did. Lately, replies to chats are slow, and I’m bored, but I’m tired, so I just leave it out the whole time.”
“No, there is that ⋯⋯ ski resort. I went last week. At that time, my back hurt a little because I was so burned.”
“What’s wrong with the waist, I was so distracted by watching movies and playing games that I ignored it. Anyway, I’m eating the things I couldn’t eat at that time, so be patient and eat.”
“⋯⋯.”
“Be patient and eat, you child.”
Dasom, who mimics Chae Seol-ha’s angsty voice, poked Yu Yu-jin’s cheek and grinned.
‘It’s soft, it’s cute ⋯⋯.’
She was very excited. He couldn’t even notice that Yudojin’s shoulders shook slightly when he heard the voice.
“It’s a joke, you can eat as much as you want. If you pretend to eat for no reason, I hate seeing it.”
“Thank you ⋯⋯.”
“Should I be punished instead?”
A cough erupted from Yujin’s mouth.
“Who, sister? What⋯⋯ is that?”
“Let’s eat and talk. Cheal.”
Dasom, who slapped Yu Yu-jin on the back, moved to the other side of him and slumped down.
“Eat well, Dojin-ah.”
* * *
“Turn it off, turn it off.”
Yudo-jin, startled by the manly sound protruding out of her throat, covered her mouth.
“It’s so nice to see you eating well, shall we eat like this next time?”
“Next⋯⋯?”
“Yeah, Dojin, you need to gain some weight. If you look at it, you don’t think it’s going to break somewhere?”
With those words, Dasom returned from the kitchen and put a plate down on the table. It was a plate with various fruits.
“Eat it, it’s sweet.”
“⋯⋯.”
Yu Yu-jin was only holding a fork and savoring her taste.
“Why can’t I eat because I’m full?”
“No, it’s not like that⋯⋯.”
“Should I be punished? They say they don’t eat any fruit without leaving any side dishes⋯⋯.”
“No, sister.”
A cold gaze pierced Yu Yu-jin’s eyes. In a completely different atmosphere than usual, Yudo-jin swallowed saliva and looked at Dasom’s expression.
“Yoo Do-jin.”
“Uh, yes. sister.”
“Today, go watch a movie at my sister’s house. We all have dinner together.”
It was difficult for Lee Da-som to hold back her laughter as she looked at Yu-jin’s face.
“Did you improve your acting a lot?”
“Child, really⋯⋯!”
Yoo-jin sighed as if frustrated.
“If this is the case, even Minseo will be fooled.”
“don’t do it. Even my sister, I’m really not confident I’ll be sitting there.”
“Why?”
Seeing Yu-Jin’s shoulder bouncing and bouncing, Da-Som felt a sense of excitement.
‘What, what, just that voice?’
Yoo Ji-jin’s embarrassed appearance was so cute that it sounded like she was trying to be charming to a baby.
Dasom coughed twice while covering her red face with her hair.
“Ah, anyway, I’m going to play with my sister all day today. Then I won’t.”
Dasom narrowed one eye and looked carefully at Yudojin’s face. Then he realized that the shape of the flower on his face was different from usual.
It was subtle, but for some reason the shape of the peaks with a closed look looked sad.
“Uh, why? are you in hurry? Mi, sorry. My sister doesn’t even know that⋯⋯.”
Yu Yu-jin hurriedly waved her hand and opened her mouth.
“No, I’m not busy.”
“But ⋯⋯.”
It was only then that Yu Yu-jin realized that he had been grimacing without realizing it. For a moment, I felt the tip of my nose getting wrinkled.
“It’s not like that, it.”
Yu Yu-jin pondered for a moment on how to explain it, and then she let out a thin moan and opened her mouth.
“I thought that ⋯⋯ noona was on my side.”
“Yes? What are you talking about?”
Yu Yu-jin, who saw Ida-som blinking as if she did not understand the English language, picked up a fruit in front of her in embarrassment and ate it.
“Anyway⋯⋯I have a lot to be thankful for.”
Dasom shrugged at the creepy sensation that came up from the inside of her heart.
“Okay, okay. What did I do?”
“I did a lot over the past year. The one who covered me, the one who left the student council and joined the club, the one that Ga-ryun took care of, and the one that Minseo-”
“Hey, stop!”
Seeing Ida Som waving her hand as if embarrassed, Yu Yu-jin burst into laughter without realizing it.
“Why can’t you listen with your bare mind?”
“Oh, yes⋯⋯. Dojin, you speak well.”
“Then, shall we continue with a drink?”
A kid who doesn’t even enjoy drinking that much brings up the story of alcohol.
there’s something
Seeing the slightly hardened expression on Dasom’s expression, Yudojin hurriedly turned away.
“It’s a joke. Joke. Hey, where’s the remote? Slowly, a movie or something—”
“Is that so?”
After cutting Yu Yu-jin’s words, Lee Da-som smiled and opened the refrigerator.
“Your brother wants to drink, but I also have a drink during the day after a long time, huh?”
* * *
“So, what?”
“yes?”
About the time the atmosphere had matured, Idasom opened her mouth.
“Did you have something to say?”
“No, not really⋯⋯.”
“It’s all written on my face, but what’s so bad about it?”
Dasom reached out and started writing letters on Yudojin’s forehead.
“What are you doing?”
“What? You’re just trying to write what’s written on your face. Where⋯⋯, I have a problem. Please listen.”
Every time I wrote down, a slight tremor was transmitted to my fingertips. It is unknown whether it is simply because it tickles or if it contains other emotions.
“Tell me it’s okay. No matter what happens, I’m on our side. must.”
As time passed, Dasom found it difficult to calm her trembling hands. Just clenching his fists was not enough to calm the bubbling lava inside his heart.
“That, so. Haven’t you said anything since that day?”
“⋯⋯Yes.”
Dasom wanted to pour out the sickness right away from the dizziness that was coming from her, but she decided to bite her tongue instead. Then, holding on to the spirit that seemed to be extinguished at any moment, he organized the words that came out of Yu-jin’s mouth a while ago.
Yu-Jin had a girl he liked. So, he was embarrassed to keep an eye on it, and impulsively asked for a date on Christmas Eve.
Fortunately, the woman granted the request. Although I didn’t necessarily use the term ‘date’, it was definitely a date from anyone looking at it. Yu Yu-jin went to the meeting place after thorough preparation, but the woman did not come.
Until the snow falls, and then the whole world is covered in white.
The first emotion that Dasom felt was anger. A fierce anger towards the woman who trampled Dojini’s heart.
And when the outburst of anger subsided a little, the emotion I felt was disappointment. Feeling sorry for the younger brother who committed such an important task without saying anything to him or giving him any advice.
If he had heard of such a story before, he would have noticed something strange. After thorough preliminary research on the woman he was about to confess, he would have been able to find out if he was a suitable woman for Dojin, and if not, he would have thrown him out.
Why didn’t you tell me?
I.
I’m Dojin.
Dojin is your ⋯⋯.
Sister, it is
At that moment, she realized that Yu Yu-jin and herself were completely strangers.
Not a drop of blood was mixed. They are just older sisters and younger brothers, but their surnames, parents, hometown, and environment are all different. It’s only been over a year since we got together.
No, it is not easy to talk about the secrets buried deep in their hearts, even between blood parents and siblings. So Da-Jun Lee died, and until he heard it through someone else’s mouth, he couldn’t even understand why his brother died.
About half a year ago, I quit my job of ‘protecting’ Dojin.
Because Dojin is strong. Unlike the past when I thought I would collapse at any moment, I thought I was strong enough to move forward on my own. Because I thought it was an insult to the child to ignore it.
That was a mistake.

Dojin is still weak. It is only pretending to be strong on the outside, but if you look inside, there are not one or two tattered parts that are not sewn together. If one part is torn, it will be ripped apart in the other place.
You should have protected yourself before you got hurt. I shouldn’t have made him look like that.
Seeing Yu Yu-jin’s face, Lee Da-som’s heart began to feel pity and pity. who would have done that What kind of dirty b*tch has made her pretty face so miserable?
Of course, the answer is obvious. It was because he knew very well that Yu-jin had no friends outside of the club.
Seol-ha Chae, Ga-ryun Yu, and Min-seo Oh.
Which of the three years? Chae Seol-ha, who says naughty things to Do-jin as if he can do anything? Yu Ga-ryun, who doesn’t even know the grace that helped her, spit out only hateful words, then at some point washes her mouth and farts? Oh Min-seo, who licks Do-jin’s face with sultry eyes and plays pranks close to sexual harassment?
I do not know. Too many candidates
But one thing is certain.
The woman Dojini fell in love with is never a bad woman.
No matter how skillfully a person is able to conceal his heart, in the end, it is revealed.
If there was a woman in the club who tried to harass Dojin with such a sleazy and vulgar mind, she would have noticed it first.
misunderstood Something was clearly entangled and something was wrong. And misunderstandings can be corrected. It’s not too late now.
“But sister, if all of this is a misunderstanding, I⋯⋯.”
Even he himself knows.
She was a person who knew very well what to say to the man in front of her.
“no.”
But words come from the heart.
If that heart is rotten beyond filtration, the story will be different.
