The Returnee Is Having a Hard Time With His Younger Sister - Chapter 51



51 – Korea Superhuman Specialized High School (5)

“Wow, so you really were a teacher….”

“Yes. I just started here recently.”

“Wow….”

The female student looks at him with sparkling eyes.

And why wouldn’t she?

At first sight, she had fallen head over heels, unable to escape.

She thought she had been completely crushed and would never see him again.

Such a person, truly fate.

He was a superhuman and had been appointed as a teacher at the superhuman specialized school, and she ended up in Hancho High School, among the many superhuman specialized schools.

Fate that she felt intensely from the first moment they met.

She tried to hold back her tears, but why had she met him again as if it were some joke by the heavens?

Moreover.

As a teacher and a student, in the forbidden form…!

It felt like a story made up─in her opinion─she became engulfed in the feeling of being the protagonist in a drama.

Alone, she got caught up in various delusions about what to do with this.

Meanwhile, Yeo-ul, the actual subject of these delusions, had no thoughts at all.

She silently watched her laugh and twist her body.

At that moment, the school bell rang throughout the entire school.

It meant that there were 10 minutes left until the afternoon class started.

Is it already the end of lunchtime?

As Yeo-ul gradually got up from her seat, the elven girl standing in front of her seemed to still be lost in a daydream.

Her friends who saw this appearance.

Letting out a sigh, as if familiar, they raised their arms towards her–

Sharp–sharp–making a loud noise.

They forcefully slapped her cheeks, causing her head to whip around.

“Oh, right.”

As if this had happened more than once, they carried out a series of actions with a confident movement, and upon discovering Yeo-ul, who was being slapped, they looked puzzled before smiling coolly.

“The teacher was here….”

“Well, this friend often gets lost in daydreams. hahahaha….”

“In case you’re wondering, we’re not tormenting her. Really.”

Whether her friends felt troubled or not, the elven girl who had come out of her daydream just smiled innocently.

“Oh, thank you for waking me up.”

With both cheeks red and slightly swollen.

“Isn’t that right? No?”

“That’s right.”

In the first place, Yeo-ul didn’t think about it.

She was only slightly concerned about the uncomfortable gaze she felt from somewhere.

“Well then, I’ll go first.”

Due to unexpectedly watching their skit, she was delaying the time and could be late for class.

Yeo-ul attempted to leave, turning her back.

“Wait a minute!”

However, due to the elven girl grabbing onto his collar, he stopped and stood there.

“Um, well….”

“What’s wrong?”

“Do you happen to have…a contact…?”

Thinking it would be a shame to just let her go, she tried to ask if she could give him her contact information, but her words became blurry due to the memory that came to mind.

Come to think of it, a student asking for the teacher’s number. It seemed quite strange.

So.

“Teacher, what’s your name…?”

“My name is Song Yeoul. Well then, I’ll be going.”

He gently removed her hand, which was holding onto his collar.

As their bare hands touched, her heart raced, but he simply turned his back and continued walking.

“My name is Shin Ara!”

With those words trailing behind, he exited the park.

No, he tried to.

If it weren’t for the person blocking his path.

A man with tousled yellow hair and a restless expression.

He was wearing a school uniform, so he must be a student.

Yeoul tried to pass him, but he moved his body to block her way.

“What’s the matter?”

“Hey. What’s your relationship with Shin Ara?”

“We have no relationship.”

“Bullsh*t. I’ve never seen Shin Ara make that expression before.”

He had a rough idea of what he was trying to say.

The gaze he felt earlier.

The strong hostility emanating from him.

It was difficult to imagine that it wouldn’t become a troublesome matter.

“Whether you’re a teacher or a student─”

As Yeoul reached for her earring in her earlobe,

The blond man, who had been about to say something with an angry expression, suddenly lost consciousness and collapsed on the spot.

He had already wasted time being held back by the elf girl.

There was no more time to waste on such trivial matters.

Leaving the unconscious male student behind, Yeoul walked quickly.

Luckily, Yeoul was able to join the swimming class without being too late.

In the afternoon class, they taught the same content to a different class, which didn’t include Lyeoun.

She listened quietly, occasionally giving Swimming a little help.

Finally, regular class time ended.

Just like before, she pushed through the crowd of female students and left the classroom with Swimming.

“How was it after you tried it?”

“It seems to be fine.”

He added that it was a day where he could understand how the lectures were conducted, the level of the first-year students, and the overall atmosphere of the school.

“Really? Well, that’s a relief.”

“What should I do next?”

“Oh, we don’t have anything like a closing ceremony in this school. So it’s over now. You can just go home or do whatever you want.”

“I understand.”

“Okay. You worked hard today, see you tomorrow.”

Oh, and…

“We will soon have a field experiential learning, so keep that in mind.”

Field experiential learning.

As he remembered, it was another name for a picnic.

But, this place was not an ordinary school.

He still didn’t know how the field experiential learning would be conducted.

“Thank you, teacher.”

With those words, he parted ways with her.

And then, he called a taxi to go home.

When he left the building, there was a female student standing in front of him.

He thought that there were quite a lot of scenes like this today, so Yeowool approached her.

“So, it’s you coming out from here, after all.”

“Hello. What’s the matter, Yeowoonie?”

The true identity of the female student was his younger sister, Yeowoon.

She was waiting for him at the entrance of the building where his last lecture ended, in order to have a conversation with her brother.

“Hello, oppa. No, wait, why are you here…?”

She was surprised─.

With a bit of a brave voice, Yeowoon spoke like that.

“That’s how it turned out.”

“What’s the use of it turning out like that…! Did you really come in as a teacher?”

“Yes.”

“Why didn’t you tell me anything…!”

Just talking to my brother is a little uncomfortable.

Originally, I was trying to ask what happened, pretending to be somewhat angry.

But as I spoke, I suddenly felt upset.

I had been concerned about my brother all day.

It was frustrating.

I couldn’t even concentrate in class.

My friends would tease me about it.

And I would feel strange emotions seeing my brother surrounded by girls our age.

But even so.

He wouldn’t acknowledge me at all.

He would suddenly show up at school without a word.

Even when I texted him, the replies I got were indifferent.

I want to know a lot about my brother.

But it seems like he doesn’t talk much about himself.

Various thoughts pass through my mind.

And I start to get slightly irritated.

A pouty expression that forms on its own, even when I don’t want it to.

But I can’t sincerely get angry over something like this.

I just mutter quietly through my pouting lips.

“Why didn’t you say anything….”

Do I really need to say it?

That’s what Yeo-ul was simply thinking.

And it’s understandable.

She didn’t have to report every little detail to him.

But even though she was Yeo-ul.

Having been driven away by Ryeoun before, she learned some things.

That there are things that can be said and things that shouldn’t be said, even if they are true.

So.

“Sorry. I forgot to tell you.”

With an apology.

As he approached Ryeowoon, he clasped his hands together and covered her hand with his own.

His sister, who had been bowing deeply, looked up at her older brother.

Their eyes met.

She still had an expressionless face, almost frighteningly so.

The warmth that could be felt through the clasped hands, through the gentle touch.

For her, it was truly absurd.

Just with such a simple action, her frozen heart began to melt away.

“Oh, it’s fine if you know…”

Come to think of it, it’s almost childish to be upset over something like this.

Now that he had told her, it seemed okay….

Still.

“From now on, if something happens to you, I wish you would let me know too…”

I won’t ask you to tell me everything.

I don’t want to go that far.

But it would be nice if you could let me know a little in advance.

“Because we’re family….”

In this vast world, there are only two of us.

Sharing blood that is thicker than water.

Family.

At the mention of that word, Yeo-ul’s heart inexplicably trembles.

“…Alright.”

Sincerely, he replies.

Facing his sister, placing a hand on his chest, he tries to calm the inexplicable pain that he feels after a long time.

“It’s quite amusing to be speaking so seriously about something like this…”

It’s probably because of all the accumulated thoughts and feelings.

Now that he has said it, he musters a laugh that offers some relief.
