Special side story episode 3
“Seohaya~.”
As soon as the door opened, I sat down at my desk and pretended to concentrate on my sculpture.
When I looked back a beat later, Hye-won was approaching me.
“Were you sculpting today too?”
“Oh, yes. I was so focused. I heard you coming earlier, but I was just going to leave after doing this, and it’s already this late.”
“No, no. That’s not what I meant.”
phew.
Fortunately, Hye-won didn’t seem to notice anything.
Let’s keep it a secret that I just got home due to spatial interference. As I thought that and got up from my seat, Hye-won unnie suddenly reached out her hand towards me.
Shudder.
My body almost reacted reflexively as her hand reached for my hair. I suppressed my instincts and Hye-won smiled and pulled off a leaf to show me.
“What? Did you leave the window open earlier? Why are you leaving leaves all over it?”
“Ah… I didn’t know. I guess it came in with the wind.”
Let’s hide our embarrassment and make an excuse. Hye-won nodded as if she thought the same thing.
“Dajeong is here. Let’s have dinner together for the first time in a while.”
“Yes. I’ll be down soon.”
“Ugh. Come on~.”
Sister Hye-won patted my shoulder, advising me to take it easy. I pushed the sculpture I was fiddling with to a corner and stood up.
As I went down the stairs, I saw a friendly face.
“Affectionate sister.”
“Seohaya!”
The bright-faced, affectionate older sister waved her hand. She seemed familiar and took up a corner of the table.
I said as I sat down in my seat.
“Have you processed all the reservations? I heard you were busy with the large number of orders coming in at once.”
“Ugh… I pulled an all-nighter for a week and somehow it worked out… … .”
My dear older sister shuddered as if she hated just thinking about it.
“Now that I have some free time! How about going on an outing with Seoha?”
“Yeah. Try that. He’s been staying at home all day. He needs to go out and get some fresh air.”
Although Hye-won pretended not to care, she must have felt sorry for me, staying at home all the time.
… My conscience prickled because I had just been outside.
“It’s nice because you don’t have to wander around outside.”
“That was the case at first too!”
“Seo-ha, you can rest a little more.”
Tak, Pyo Yeon-won said firmly as he placed today’s dinner menu on the table.
Oh. Kimchi stew.
The color was mouthwatering and the smell was delicious. While my eyes were drawn to the food, Pyo Yeon-won continued speaking.
“If you go out, you’ll create more work for yourself.”
“That… I guess so.”
“Hmm. I guess.”
The two nodded at Pyo Yeon-won’s words. What on earth do they think of me? It seems like they think of me as a walking time bomb.
I’m a little unlucky, but I’m overreacting.
“Eat it quickly. Sister Da-jeong sang a song saying she wanted to eat it.”
“Oh my. There’s even ribs in it…!”
“I’ll eat well!”
Everyone happily picked up their chopsticks. I watched them happily eating, and then I sneaked a peek.
The timing was perfect because the atmosphere was good and I had a kind older sister with me.
“I had something to talk about anyway. It’s great that everyone is gathered here.”
“Wow, this is so good. What did you put in this? Ramen soup?”
“Just listen without being surprised.”
“The tender meat is so delicious. It just melts in your mouth.”
“… … .”
Everyone was busy eating the kimchi stew with pork ribs. When I was silent for a moment, only Pyo Yeon-won continued to talk.
“What are you talking about?”
“No, it’s nothing special… I was thinking about becoming independent.”
… … .
… Dalgrak.
As soon as I finished speaking, silence fell over the table. Sister Hye-won, who was happily eating the ribs, sister Da-jeong, who was putting a big spoonful of rice in her mouth, and even Pyo Yeon-won, who was putting kimchi stew on my plate.
Everything froze as if time had stopped.
I coughed loudly at the more dramatic reaction than I expected and continued speaking.
“There’s not enough space to carve, and it’s a bit inconvenient to live in the middle of the city. Even when I go out in front of my house, I have to wear a hat and a mask. I want to live in a place with few people and a large yard.”
Bam.
The pork ribs that Hye-won was about to eat fell into the rice bowl.
“… … That, that could be. Yes. That could be.”
Sister Hye-won slowly nodded. Sister Da-jeong looked at the expressions of Sister Hye-won and Pyo-yeon-won with anxious eyes.
“Okay, Seoha. Then… .”
Sister Hye-won closed her eyes tightly and then opened them again and spoke.
“When are you going to move?”
“yes?”
“That’s the problem? Okay. We didn’t think of you. It would be good to move to a place with a large yard and few people. If we find it quickly, we can move within this month or next month.”
No, that’s not the problem.
I never expected this kind of reaction. Hye-won’s eyes were burning brightly. It’s hard to stop Hye-won when she becomes so sincere…
I looked at Pyo Yeon-won, asking for help.
Then Pyo Yeon-won nodded as if he understood. Okay. You try to stop him by doing something.
“Around the end of this month would be good. By then, my sister’s schedule will be finished, and my exams will be over too.”
Pyo Yeon-won, you too…!
It was when I was just opening my mouth in betrayal.
“Wait a minute! Everyone, calm down.”
Da-jeong Unni suddenly got up from her seat and said.
“What are you talking about? Moving right now? That doesn’t make sense realistically. How are you both going to work and go to school?”
After all, is Da-jeong the only one I can trust? Out of all of them, she probably has the most objective perspective.
But as soon as my sister continued speaking, that anticipation was shattered.
“… So, come live with me, Seoha!”
“huh?”
“Unlike the other two, I’m a freelancer, so I can just build a workshop somewhere else! If it’s somewhere unpopulated, it won’t be hard to build a new workshop.”
“no…….”
“Then it seems like it would be perfect. Right?”
There was not a single shadow on the face of my affectionate older sister who was smiling brightly.
“We want to move the company too!”
“It’s okay, it’s going to end soon.”
When Hye-won and Pyo Yeon-won joined in, the situation became even more chaotic. No, that makes no sense. How can I move to a place where I already have a job, and what is Pyo Yeon-won going to do when the next semester starts!
Even for Dajeong Unni, it would take a lot of time and money to tear down a perfectly good workshop and build a new one.
There’s nothing I can do.
match!
I clapped my hands to get their attention, and all three pairs of eyes turned in my direction.
“I will move alone.”
“but…!”
“No objection. There is no need for everyone to move away from their perfectly good homes. I alone am enough.”
The three of them looked disgruntled, but this time I was firm. I always become lazy when I’m in their arms.
“I’ll come visit often. It’s not far from here. If you come by car, it’ll be quick…”
“What?! You’ve already found a house?”
Sister Hye-won came in sharply. Ugh. In an instant, everyone’s expressions changed.
“I’ve already found a house!”
“Did you stamp the contract? Seo-ha, you shouldn’t stamp things like that so carelessly.”
“When on earth did you get it? I thought it was always at home….”
“You were pretending to ask for our opinion, but you had already decided everything. Seo-ha, when deciding on something like this, you should have discussed it with us beforehand…!”
My eyes started spinning in the midst of the flood of questions pouring in.
In this state… there’s no way the conversation can continue!
I slowly backed away and deployed my skill.
Spatial interference!
Hye-won was the first to shout out, seeing the blue light blooming in my eyes.
“Run away!”
“catch!”
But I was one step ahead of them!
Swish!
Hye-won unnie let out a sigh as she watched my blurred new appearance.
“You…! Just wait and see, Han Seo-ha… …!”
Yikes. You must be really angry. I was afraid of what would happen later, but I decided it would be better to talk after your anger subsided a bit, so I didn’t stop using my skill.
The next time I opened my eyes, I was standing in a completely different place.
Clang!
I heard the sound of breaking glass. I turned my gaze in that direction and saw Lee Woon-woo standing there, dressed in casual clothes, unlike the ones I usually see in the building.
He was wearing a loose-fitting sweatshirt and sweatpants. Furthermore, since becoming the director of the Villain Countermeasures Headquarters, his hair, which people often looked down on because he looked young, was now covering his forehead like before.
“Hansuhha? Why are you here…?”
“I ran away.”
As soon as I finished speaking, Lee Woon-woo suddenly frowned.
“Run away? What the hell have you done?”
“That’s not it.”
I scratched the back of my head and spoke honestly.
“I said I wanted to be independent, and then there was chaos. I’m going to hide for a while.”
“aha.”
Lee Yun-woo made an expression that seemed to indicate that he knew roughly what had happened.
“You’re not surprised.”
“Not really. It’s not unusual for you to be independent at your age.”
Well, I guess they’ve been secretly encouraging independence for a while now.
“It’s time for you to leave the embrace of the Guildmaster of Yeokcheon. You can’t stay like that forever.”
That’s true, but I feel like you’re treating me like a child who’s been left out in the water.
“Ready?”
“I already found a house.”
“I don’t think you’re the type to decorate your house nicely and live there. You just want to move in and live there.”
“Can’t you just buy what you need when you get there?”
That’s how I’ve lived until now. Lee Woon-woo made a face that said, ‘Then that’s how you are.’
“Did you choose the right house? You didn’t sign a contract for a strange house, did you?”
“What on earth do you think I am?”
“Ahem. Of course, you foolishly did it on your own… .”
Lee Yun-woo was ready to immediately send the contract for my house to the legal advisory team to look over.
“Don’t worry. I’ll just stay here for today. There’s still some time left until I’m supposed to move in.”
“Do whatever you feel like.”
Lee Woon-woo waved his hand as if he was annoyed. Until then, I thought Lee Woon-woo was worrying for nothing.
But a few days later, after spending a few days in the new house, I called Lee Yun-woo.
-What? What’s going on?
“…Listen without laughing.”
I barely managed to swallow a sigh and continued talking.
“This house seems to be haunted.”
I didn’t say that the beginning of the regression was the gate.
