Good. Now we're good to go.
I sat on the toilet without a cover. You hear a rustling sound outside the door. Is Silver Star tidying up its own luggage?
What the hell? What a bullshit excuse.]
"Why? What's more natural than a period? ’
[Natural? It was awkward from the first impression. If it's a bag, I don't think it's a bag.]
Then how do you get into someone's room at dawn? First of all, we have to make an excuse. ’
[· · · What are you going to do from now on?]
‘The informant window was used by Seongmin earlier, so we should battle as a psycho. How much cooldown do we have? ’
[15 minutes remaining.]
Okay, let me know when it's activated. We'll make it before then. ’
“Hmmm!”
I purposely groaned to be heard outside.
Every time a sound leaks, the rustling sound outside stops.
“Shhh!”
I feel even the strangest sound sitting on the toilet. I can't believe I have to earn this kind of money to seduce a girl.
Knock, knock.
“Hey, are you okay? ”
Was he worried about an unusual sound?
I asked Silver Star outside the bathroom.
“I'm not feeling well. ”
“If you're uncomfortable, should I call the front desk and get some first aid supplies? ”
Front? No way!
What a nice girl.
“Oh, it's okay. We're almost done. ”
“Really? I just got off the phone with my brother. He's washing up. He's not answering. ”
“Me, the phone?! ”
“No, I don't think your friend is feeling well. I'm going to ask him to come down to my room. ”
Oh, no, no, no!
What kind of crazy situational situation is this?
After all we've done for ourselves, he's trying to break the board.
I flushed the toilet in a hurry and opened the door. Eun-sung, who was standing with his cell phone, looks at me with surprised eyes.
“Huh? You're out? ”
“Did you really call Seong-min? ”
“Yeah, just in case I fall asleep. He looked a little tired to drive. I just wanted to let you know you're expecting a friend. ”
“Don't. ”
“Yes?”
“Don't call me. ”
“Why, what's wrong? ”
That way you can make sure you have gold trim on it!
· · · · I can't say, so I started waiting for a ridiculous excuse.
“I've been thinking about the bear inside, and I think we should do this as a surprise. ”
“· · · Surprise? ”
“Sister, what's the schedule for tomorrow? ”
“My schedule? ”
“Yes.”
“Breakfast with my brother · · · · in the morning. Well, maybe after that. I was supposed to play with my brother, but suddenly he has to guide foreigners · ·. ”
I knew it.
Given the phone call response earlier, it is certain that Seongmin did not know his brother's return. That means he's an unexpected variable.
“Will you come with us? ”
“Where?”
“Sightseeing tomorrow. ”
“Me?”
“Actually, what happened is · · · ·. ”
I briefly explained the situation in which the Seongmin interfered with Sister Sarah and her sister's visit to Korea. And I also suggested that I want Seongmin to bring her as much as I want to go with her. Let's mate up.
“Ah, there it is. My brother didn't tell me the details. ”
“Yes, but I think it would be more fun to surprise them. ”
“Oh.”
“You know the nature of the people. Wouldn't you stop him if he said he was going with you? ”
“Probably, right? ”
“So, tomorrow, we'll go in secret, and then we'll show up in the middle. I wouldn't kick you out of that position. ”
“Ah!”
I immediately got a call from Seongmin.
I didn't get a chance to take a shower. Hey, what's going on?
“Uh, no big deal. ”
I slept with my palms together in front of Silver Castle.
“· · · I want to ask what time to eat for breakfast. ”
Come to our room where it's happening. You can order a VIP room anytime.
“Okay, then I'll sleep. ”
Are you sure there's not something wrong?
I desperately shook my head.
The Silver Castle recognized the gesture and nodded.
“What work. I'm tired. See you tomorrow. ”
Yeah, it is.
After the call, the Milky Way raised a child to see if the current situation was comedic.
“Heehee. You don't know anything. ”
Of course. I haven't even talked to the people yet.
By the way, Eun-sung seems to have a cute corner. I was reminded of the girl who was the daughter of the hive, but when I looked at her behavior, I was more like a normal college student. Especially when it comes to deceiving my brother, I can see where he is full of pranks and smiles.
At first, it was just a revenge move, but she became increasingly human curious.
“But your brother's name is. ”
“Oh, I'm in the middle of a crisis. I didn't get a good introduction. I'm called Ko Eun Sung. What about your friend?”
“Dorhoon. This is Lee Dorhoon. ”
“But you look so young for your friend. ”
“Yes. Actually, Seong-min is my older brother. I'm twenty-three.”
“Oh? Really? You're only one year older than me. ”
“Really? He was generous about the age difference since Seong-min came to live in America. Suddenly, I decided to just eat a friend. ”
“Right · · · ·. ”
The Silver Castle's expression of generosity was awkward.
“But Seong-min is strange, too. ”
“Yes?”
“Having such a pretty sister and hiding it all this time. ”
I lied without hesitation as if I had known him for a long time.
“Come on, embarrass me. And you never mentioned me? ”
“I guess I said it in passing words. Denmark? You study art in something like that. ”
“Yes, I'm going to study abroad for a while. ”
“Let's discuss tomorrow's schedule instead of just standing by, by the way? ”
“Oh, look at me. Have a seat over there."
The Silver Castle points to the window. A five-star hotel room downhill configuration with a Nordic-style, discreet tea table overlooking the night view.
As I sat in the chair, Silver Castle asked.
“Can I get you a cup of tea, Brother Dawn? ”
“A car?”
“Yes. We're late, so no caffeine. ”
“Then give me something to drink. ”
“Yes.”
Silver Castle opened the refrigerator and brought out the drink and tea he had to drink. The act of kindness was natural, so I couldn't find any pretenses.
[Oh my God! That's the exact opposite of my brother.]
How can you be so different? I thought all the moneylenders were bad luck when I saw them. ’
[On the contrary?]
"Huh?"
[The more children in the house, the more sophisticated and dignified they will be. as if there were no corners where people who grew up without wanting to.]
‘However, it seems that Seongmin is a peculiar character. ’
“You're very kind. You must be tired from the long flight. · · ”
“No, I slept on my neck pillow the whole flight. And he's a friend of yours, so just relax. ”
“But I'm still new at this. ”
“Really? I'll be out in a minute. ”
“Huh?"
She suddenly steps out of the door without stopping you, then comes back in a few moments later. While sitting with a puzzled face, Eun-sung said.
“This is how it works, right? Are you talking comfortably now? ”
“Well, yeah. ”
Oh, what is it? How cute is this?
Suddenly, the Silver Star feels even cuter. I am ashamed of my preconceptions of being arrogant because I am the daughter of a rich house.
“But how did you know my brother? Few people call my brother a friend. ”
Of course you are.
If you look at one, you know fever. There's no way Seongmin has a friend who has the right humanity. However, I couldn't reveal the truth to the Silver Star, so I was quite fooled.
“It just came out of nowhere. ”
“Is that a social gathering? ”
“A social gathering?”
“Why do you go to meetings sometimes? Social Leadership Students Gathering · · · · ”
It's a no-brainer.
“Well, not me. ”
“Really? What are you doing then? ”
“Me? College student. ”
“Oh, you're going to get your degree before business class? ”
“No, I go to the death squad. Department of Sports Education.”
“Sa, the shooter? Then what about you? ”
“Yes.”
“Then the foundation will be inherited later. ”
“No, I think I misunderstood. I'm just a regular college student. I'm in the death squad trying to teach PE. ”
“Ahh · · ·. ”
The Silver Castle was a confused expression.
However, most of Seongmin would have been members of a social leadership class. I was a little surprised, even though I wasn't friends with the fact that I was an ordinary friend of nothing.
“Why? Is it weird that I'm so ordinary? ”
“Oh, no. That's not what I meant. ”
“It's okay. I know what you mean. ”
“You're not upset, are you? ”
“Why are you so upset? I don't care about that. No matter how much money there is, no matter how rich the family is. You only see people when you meet them. ”
“Ahh · · ·. ”
In my answer, the Silver Star's eyes were subtly shaken.
Looks like you scored a little on this one.
Rossi, where's psychometry? ’
[You're all set.]
I went through the accessories she was wearing to get some more information from her. Diamond earrings and feminine wristwatch. Nothing seems particularly memorable.
I'm gonna have to do some more digging.
“Do you often see Seong-min? ”
“Yes?”
“No. It's hard to see your face if you study abroad. ”
“Yes · · ·. ”
The Silver Castle smiled bitterly.
“Actually, I'm a fugitive learner. ”
“What do you mean, you're on the run? ”
“After my parents died, you were the only one who could rely on the house, and you ran away because you didn't want to have a successor class. I was so lonely to be alone. ”
“Hmm."
That's what happened.
“So I just left to study as much as I wanted to. I'm going as far away as I can because I'm close and I want to come to Korea. ”
“Aha, so Denmark? ”
“Yes, but I can't come to Korea at all. · · · · Actually, it's my parents' anniversary in a week. ”
At that moment, the Milky Way unwittingly touched the ring on its left hand. A Rosary Ring that looks relatively ordinary unlike other accessories.
Maybe that's the key to her secret.
I naturally took my hand off the ring on her finger.
“Was Eun-sung a Catholic? ”
She pulls out her hand, startled when my hand touches it.
“Ahh. No, that's not it. ”
And at that moment, a video popped into my head.
* * *
“I don't know what's wrong with you! ”
As the twisted old man reacts, the beautiful middle-aged wife bows her head like a sinner. Behind her skirt, two little children hide themselves in a frightened look.
“Did you think I'd forget an eye when I walked in with my grandchildren? ”
“No, but where he was sent this time, there is a high risk of war in the news · · ·. ”
“Ha! Do you know your business? I hope you don't think some clown with a frowny face is interfering with business out of nowhere. ”
“Ah, Dad · · · ·. ”
In the fire of the old man, the girl's face seemed to burst into tears. The boy, on the other hand, stared at the old man with a fierce fist. The old man continued to talk as if those grandchildren didn't even notice.
“Do you know how I worked for Sam-hyun? I was the one who was carrying munitions at the stake in Vietnam when the bullets came out. I want to be respected by my subordinates, so I have to be a leader first! It's a parachute so powerless, there's a lot to talk about behind the scenes, but if you go to a place like that, how good would it look if you gave it to me? Don't say anything else, because Seong-min left too. What's the big deal if someone on the inside is trying to spin in a skirt on a day that he can't do his homework? I didn't learn anything, so I just kicked shit in my head · · · I don't want to see it, so it rots
Go! ”
“· · I'm sorry, Father. ”
The video became blurry and this time turned into a funeral.
The boy who looked only like an elementary school student was wearing a black robe. The boy stared at someone with a frighteningly cold expression.
On the other hand, the little girl did not know anything yet. Even though my father died in an accident and my mother killed herself, the girl was still as fierce as the person who believed that the two of them would return.
With the innocence of the child unaware even of the absence of the parent, the advisors became even more depressed. In the girl's hand was a Rosary Ring left by her mother.
“Brother, why are there pictures of Mom and Dad? ”
The girl saw a picture of two people's spirit and asked her brother.
Seongmin replied, biting the lips of Burr.
“Eun-sung, listen to me. From now on, it's just you and me. ”
“The two of us? ”
“Yes. You and I are the only family in the world. ”
“Okay, okay. Brother, play with me. I'm bored.”
The video flowed fast again.
The Rosary Ring that the girl had just had on her finger. She grew up sniffed, became an adult and painted on the canvas.
Her painting depicted a peaceful family. When I was young, my father and mother graciously held hands, and my older son and daughter stood beside me.
The galaxy staring at the finished painting shed tears.
It was a dream that could never be fulfilled.
“· · · Mom and Dad. I miss you.”
She whispers, touching the Rosary Ring.
