28. catch someone
“I really can do it…”
As I was frantically stuffing side dishes into my mouth, my rice bowl was already empty.
After roughly clearing the dishes, I stopped her from washing them.
“I got a meal, but I can’t even make them do the dishes.”
He is also a person who sees things.
No matter how much I cooked for him as an apology for what happened yesterday, it was difficult to leave him alone as it was a bit prickly on his conscience to have him clean up after himself.
“I’m just waiting to eat some ice cream out of the freezer.”
“… okay.”
Hayan eventually retired from the kitchen due to her stubborn attitude.
As he sat down on the sofa with a disappointed heart, Hani, who had already occupied the sofa when he walked close to the sink, was happily scooping up ice cream.
As her younger sister sat down next to her, she asked so quietly that it could not be heard until the kitchen.
“How long will it last?”
Hani looks like she wants to get out of work right now.
But Hayan, on the other hand, felt like every minute and second that passed was a waste.
“Well… it’s too bad to just leave.”
“What are you going to do if you don’t go?”
“hmm…”
Anyway, the justification for making breakfast has just ended.
I felt like I wanted to stay until lunch and dinner. As my sister said, there was no excuse to stay longer.
“This is enough. “What more do you want?”
I’m also very greedy.
Who in the world would ever get the chance to go to the house of a girl they like and make breakfast for them?
Wanting more than this is greed no matter how you look at it.
“When you approach a girl you like, you should take your time and don’t be impatient.”
“sister…”
“You don’t know much because you’ve never been in a relationship, so you should be more careful.”
Advice as an adult.
The more urgent everything is, not just love, the more likely it is to become poor.
Hayan also knew that that was true.
“You’re a mother-in-law too…”
But when I heard that from Mosol, I didn’t really feel trustworthy.
Middle school, high school, college.
All of them graduated from co-educational schools with an even gender ratio.
I’ve never seen her go out with a man properly.
“I am…”
Hani, who was suddenly attacked, trailed off and recalled the past.
He wasn’t an unpopular person at all.
She has fair skin, is good at cooking, and has a face that doesn’t look out of place.
She was an above-average woman who occasionally received confessions, but…
“The people who liked me weren’t normal.”
The problem was the people who liked her.
In the first place, is it normal for someone to like a girl who is not over 150 degrees tall and looks like she just graduated from elementary school?
‘First of all, it hasn’t happened until now…’
Everyone is a lolicon who falls into fantasy while watching sh*tty cartoons.
I’m glad it ended at that level. There was even a girl who confessed to me that she wanted me to be his daughter.
“under…”
If I had been at least as tall as White, it would have been okay.
He let out a sigh mixed with regret, but his slumped shoulders only made his already small frame shrink even more.
Neither my mood nor my height improved.
‘I should play a game.’
Hani becomes low-pressure as the bad memories and miserable reality resurface.
I told my younger brother that I should quickly go home and do raids.
“Anyway, let’s go home soon.”
Hayan didn’t show any reaction to her sister’s answer.
I asked while taking a bite of ice cream and looking at Jaune from a distance.
“sister.”
“Why again?”
Hani answered with a sad look in her eyes, without even looking at her, with her eyes focused on her cell phone.
The moment I was about to put ice cream in my mouth while watching YouTube shorts, thinking that I would say something useless again.
“Do you want to go home first?”
“…”
My hand stopped at the cute comment she made.
Hani was suspicious that she might have heard wrong, so she asked her younger brother.
“what?”
“I finished breakfast… You said you would be tired if you stayed at work for a long time… And you said you were going to play games today, right?”
I guess I didn’t hear it wrong.
Unfortunately, Hani’s hearing is still far from good.
When she heard what she heard, she spoke calmly.
“Will it work?!”
A shout that came naturally to my younger brother’s nonsense.
Isn’t he calm enough just because he didn’t say any profanity when he said he was going to be alone at the man’s house after sending his sister away?
Jaune, who was in the kitchen, was surprised and asked if he had heard Hani’s roar.
“What happen?”
“… Nothing!”
Since I can’t tell Jaune this, I’ll just answer briefly.
Hani said clearly to Hayan.
“no way.”
I knew something would happen if I left my younger brother alone with a man.
Even though I was confident, the two of us were talking like that while eating, and I was scared because I could imagine what would happen if I wasn’t there.
[So, Hani, will you take good care of her as an adult?]
Moreover, only one day has passed since the promise I made with my mother.
If I had already caused trouble, I wouldn’t have the honor to face my mother.
“I’m already embarrassed that I don’t even have a ID card yet…”
Dismissed.
Even cold water has its ups and downs, and I firmly told my shy younger sister who wanted to have the exciting experience that even my older sister could not experience.
“but…”
It’s been a long time since I came back to Jaune’s house.
It is difficult to say whether there will be another opportunity like this in the future.
However, it was difficult to make more of a fuss when my sister said this was not possible.
Hayan couldn’t help but feel regret and agreed to her sister’s words.
“Okay… let’s go home…”
“…”
I was wondering what would happen if he threatened me again by telling me about the alcohol he drank without my father’s knowledge.
She walks away so obediently.
Because of that, my heart became weak again.
Hani sighed and said to her younger brother.
“Ha… I’m just going to go into my room, run the weekly raid, and then come out. Don’t look at anything more than that.”
Yes, I really like to come all the way here to meet you, so I guess this is okay.
He wouldn’t do anything strange if he was in the same house anyway.
As an older sister, I can’t help my younger brother’s dating business, but I can’t just keep blocking it.
As soon as Hayan was given permission, a smile appeared on her face and she clung to Hani, as if her glum expression until just now had been a lie.
“Sister~ I love you~”
“Well…”
Hani gets up from the sofa, letting go of her younger brother who is clinging to her while showing affection.
I made sure to ask her to avoid any problems.
“I’ll be out in an hour, so don’t do anything weird.”
“huh.”
Hani went into the room and turned on the laptop, leaving behind her younger brother, who couldn’t help but smile at how happy she was.
“Yeah, because if you play games at home, people will notice you.”
Regardless of whether I was looking for a job or not, my parents didn’t have a particularly good view of games at home, so it was more convenient to raid here.
‘We should just leave the one that ends quickly and go home.’
*
“done?”
After finishing washing the dishes, I came out to the living room, and my sister had gone somewhere, and Hayan was waiting for me alone in the living room.
“Yes, but what about your sister?”
“I heard you went into the room to do a raid?”
“… I see.”
Persistence alone is recognized.
I was pure admiration for the willingness to turn on the game this far without even going home and playing it.
‘No matter what, what if I go in to play the game alone…’
Hayan is left alone in the room as the game takes priority.
He asked me as I was looking at her with a bit of sadness.
“Jaune, can I take a look at your room?”
“my room?”
“Yeah, I’ve never been in a boy’s room before, so I’m curious!”
Hayan approached me with eyes full of anticipation.
‘There’s nothing in particular to see.’
It wasn’t long before I moved into the room, so it was a deserted room with nothing except a computer and a bed.
It was obvious that it wouldn’t be much fun, but it was strange to just hang out in the living room, so I readily agreed.
As soon as Hayan got permission from me, she got up from the sofa and went into the room with me.
“Oh… it’s neater than I thought?”
“It’s harder than you think…”
“hehehe, just kidding.”
She makes a humorous joke and naturally approaches the computer.
‘Surely you won’t touch the computer?’
I bought a new computer and haven’t set a password yet.
I couldn’t even remember what I saw yesterday, so I felt anxious for a moment.
“White?”
“why?”
“Are you planning on turning on the computer?”
“…Can’t I turn it on?”
When she looked a little nervous, she smiled and sat down on the computer chair, probably out of mischief.
Hayan asked me with a mischievous expression.
“why?”
“No, it’s nothing… the chair is a bit uncomfortable to use on the computer.”
“Um… really?”
In response to my answer, Hani gradually placed her hand on the computer power button.
‘no!’
The man’s privacy cannot be revealed here.
Jaune immediately grabbed her slowly moving wrist.
The soft feel of my hand didn’t bother me at all right now.
“White, can you please stop doing this?”
“Puhuh…”
Hayan smiled slightly, probably because Jaune’s reaction made it even more fun, and didn’t let go of his hand.
A scuffle started without letting go of one’s hand.
But it didn’t feel particularly serious.
It just felt like a boy and a girl in the same class playing around and joking around.
Jaune instinctively knew that she wasn’t really trying to turn on the computer, so he didn’t show a serious face.
The two played around like that, their arms tangled, and then they slowly became closer.
The movement that gave rise to a justification made the distance between the two even shorter.
“ah…”
“…”
And it was only when our eyes met at a closer distance than usual that I finally realized that fact.
The milky face without any blemishes turns slightly pink with embarrassment.
The small mouth, which had become quiet accordingly, closed the door more carefully than before.
That’s when an awkward atmosphere overtook the room.
Ding dong~
The doorbell suddenly rang, breathing fresh air into the awkward atmosphere.
“Who is it?”
It must have been a long way for mom to come home.
The moment I let go of her arm and stood up to go open the door.
“uh?”
My feet got tangled while playing around.
My body suddenly got up and tried to fall towards the bed.
“Jaune!”
Hayan, who saw that, immediately got up from her chair and tried to catch him.
There was such a big difference in physique that even if we held hands, we had no choice but to end up together.
“ah…”
Just like that, the two fell down together on the soft bed.
A white body overlapping Jaune’s body.
My small height of 155cm fit perfectly into his arms.
“…”
“…”
The two became speechless.
As I recognized the dramatic situation I had just experienced, my heart began to pound uncontrollably.
‘Peach scent…’
A fruity scent that had been faint until just now suddenly reached his nose.
Jaune barely came to his senses after a few seconds.
“are you okay?”
“Ah, yes…”
It’s an ironic situation where the person who was trying to catch you ends up getting worried.
Due to the unexpected accident, Hayan’s face turned red beyond pink.
‘…’
Silence flows.
Due to the sudden accident, I couldn’t even hear the sound of the front door opening.
At that time, I was just struggling with lost arms.
Squeak!
The door was opened roughly.
When I looked at the door that was violently opened, there was.
“… What are you doing?”
I saw Chae-rin looking at the man and woman with cold eyes, and my sister just quietly opening her mouth.
