Chapter 368 – Stella’s Surprise Debut! #4

My impression of entering Stella’s house could be summarized in just one line.
A single corn in the middle of a field of fragrant flowers.
This is my impression
Cannabis has a distinctive cornmeal smell.
It was emanating very weakly in the house now.

Stella, whose nose is not very sensitive, might not feel it, but I could tell for sure.
It means that Alex secretly smoked hemp during his school days.
It looks like it’s been smoking outside since it hasn’t pervaded the whole house yet, but it’s somehow covering up the smell well now, but later Stella will notice it too.

“What do you think? Aren’t you shy?”

It was a question from Stella, who was unaware of my plot.
I answered after putting the uncooked NakGopSae ingredients on the table.

“The house is nice. It smells good.”

“Must be the smell of the fabric softener my brother gave me the other day? Drying in the living room…”

Stella, who was speechless, hurriedly ran to the drying rack.
She then snatched her own underwear, almost stealing it, and stuffed it into her handbag.
Whenever she says she’s like family, she’s too shy to show them her underwear.
Are you trying to feel like a man? That action was good if it was good to me, but it wasn’t bad.
I took off her coat, pretending not to see her.

“Where do you put this?”

“It…? Just hang it on a hanger. Alex! Say hello! Jihyeok’s older brother is here…”

Stella opens the door to Alex’s room and tilts her head.

“You haven’t come yet…? I told you to tidy up the blankets when you leave…”

Stella, who skillfully made her brother’s bed, came out and picked up her cell phone.

“Where are you? Are you late today? Why? Ah… Alba? We were going to have a meal together… Yeah… Yeah. Okay. Call me when you’re done.”

After hanging up the phone, Stella looks up at me troubledly.

“She said she had to look after her because she didn’t have a night time part-time job? It might take a long time.”

Alex is pretty good at lying.
A wonderful bastard… I’m thrilled that you keep accumulating karma like this.
Anyway, I feel sorry for Stella, who trusts her brother like a stone.
If you find out later, the feeling of betrayal will be enormous… At that time, hold me in my arms and be comforted.

“Okay? So, shall we eat next time?”

“What… I’m really hungry right now? Just eat now It’s the bathroom over there, so wash your hands.”

She tries to show a brave side by saying that it is her home, but she tries to laugh naturally.
Looking at the structure of the house, it seemed that there was only one bathroom in the living room.
This way, when she ends up doing naughty things here later, I think it will become quite amusing.

“I have to remove the giblets separately. If you mix it all together, you will lose the taste. Give me the ladle.”

“I’ll do it.”

“Give me.”

“Am I doing it? My brother just sits.”

Stella wants to do everything by herself in order to welcome guests.
As soon as I took the ladle from her hand, I began to separate the giblets from the octopus and shrimp.

Stella didn’t say anything, just staring at her pot, unlike her just stubbornness.
She is feeling
She invites a man other than her sister to the space called home, and has a strange feeling that the two of them are cooking.

You need to loosen this gently and make it pound in the good direction.
Be kind and amiable to narrow down disagreements and make them feel the joy of doing something together.
A nuance that seems to know Stella’s personality very well.
Doing these two things is enough.

I asked after silently filtering all the giblets into a bowl.

“Don’t you have a frying pan?”

“Yes…? Ah… You want to bake?”

“It should be. Or would you like a little more broth?”

“Um… Why don’t you grill it separately first and dip it in the soup when it’s done? If I take it off now, I think it will be bland.”

“It’s okay. Give me the frying pan.”

“Wait a minute…”

Opening the cabinet, Stella fumbles, reaches out and pulls out a frying pan, placing it on her stovetop.
While I was opening the ramen noodles, I ate when Stella tried to grill the giblets with her spatula.
Then Stella looks at me, rolling her own big eyes around her.

“Why are you laughing?”

“Just. I’ll do the baking because the oil splashing might cause scars. You just look at the hotpot.”

“I can do it… I’m wearing long sleeves.”

“I don’t have gloves, so my hands are bare. And if you ask for something hot, it’s obvious you’ll overdo it, but let’s just take care of each one.”

“What do you mean… They don’t overdo it?”

It was Stella who put her words aside and quietly passed her spatula to me.
Her face looks a bit flushed, and you can see in her eyes that she is delighted but unwilling to show it.
Are you lonely because you cook alone every day?
Call me whenever you’re bored

After many twists and turns, we completed the Nakgopsae and sat side by side at the table and ate the food.
After having private conversations, bursting into laughter at boring gags, and encouraging Stella ahead of her debut, I was filled with confidence when I saw Stella, whose face was slightly flushed from her beer.

After today, our relationship takes a step forward.
It seems like they’re definitely having a fling, but it feels like they won’t accept it if I confess.
Ambiguous yet sweet feeling.
Fluff itself.
It will change like this.

After finishing the food, I asked Stella, who insisted that she would do the dishes herself.

“Okay. I’ll call you 5 minutes before you arrive tomorrow, so come out on time. I know you will get scolded if you sleep late.”

“Have I ever broken an appointment on time?”

“You drank beer.”

“It’s just one can. I’m not drunk.”

There are constitutions that are good at breaking down alcohol, and there are constitutions that are not.
Stella was the latter.
His face turned red because he drank only 355ml of beer.
It was funny as if I was facing someone who had a temper but didn’t know how to get angry.

“I’m talking about old age. I’ll go.”

“Be careful driving. Call me when you arrive.”

I think you will stretch before contact.
I don’t know what the inside is like, but the outside looks like gondre mandre itself.
Instead of answering by tousling Stella’s hair, I opened the front door and walked through the hallway.
Is it an illusion to feel Stella’s gaze from behind?

After taking the elevator down to the first floor, I bumped into Alex from the common entrance with a crooked attitude.
The guy who looked at me and opened his eyes wide asked me.

“Jihyuk hyung? What are you doing here?”

The strong scent of women’s perfume
Proof that you had fun playing at the room salon.
It also smelled a little like liquor. However, unlike Stella, it was not obvious.

“I’m going to eat at your house and go now. How have you been doing? Did your part-time job go well?”

“Ah… Were you at home when your sister called?”

“Yes. I was going to eat Nakgopsae with you, but the part-time job was extended, so the two of us ate together.”

“Okay? I’m glad.”

Good luck
Judging from the slightly relaxed expression on Alex’s expression, he was worried that he ate alone, but he seemed relieved when I came and ate with him.
No matter what you do, you are a younger sister who is as sincere as you are to your sister.
If it was really for my sister, I would have to put a knife through my throat right away… It’s a pity.

“But brother, I will pay back the money I borrowed the other day. I borrowed it here and there, but I had to pay it off first…”

If you open your mouth, you are lying! To be confused!
I decided to give a typical Hogu answer.

“It’s okay. You can pay it off slowly.”

“Yes. Hyung, but you didn’t enter my room, did you?”

“I was in the living room. It’s late, so I’m leaving. You worked hard on your part-time job, and since your sister’s debut is just around the corner, let her rest at home.”

“What… Why do you say that I’m bullying you?”

Alex pissed off.
Mmmm… A lot of the sluts are gone.
Very good.

“I never said that.”

“Never mind our chores. Do you know that only hyungs take care of their noonas? I know that I take care of it diligently.”

“I’m sorry if I misunderstood. I didn’t mean to say that.”

“Yes.”

Alex, who answered bluntly, brushed my shoulder.
No shoulder buns? There are still soft corners.
I will raise you too. To the very bad side.
I called Alex to take the elevator.

“Alex.”

“Why?”

“Your older sister is debuting in three days, will you come?”

“I don’t think I can go because of my part-time job…”

“It’s the weekend, so can’t you ask for it? During the pre-recording, there weren’t enough people, so I need a hand. It’s just because I’m not trustworthy to write a part-time job. The representative of the agency also said that it would be nice if you could help.”

You love your sister very much
So I have to help It’s a monumental debut.
As expected, a positive signal came from Alex, who was suffering for a while.

“What can I do?”

“I carry luggage, and there is little chance of that, but if there are fans who run into Stella by chance, they stop it… Or something like that. The job is simple, but it takes a long time. Help me. It’s your sister’s first debut.”

“… I’ll tell the boss once.”

Make up any excuse.
If you’re having trouble thinking about it, just say you have a cold.
Don’t let me say anything

“Is Jihyeok here? What about Stella?”

Choi Seung-hwan, who is gaining a little weight, asks.
I, who was checking the schedule with Chun Hee-joo, got up from my seat and answered.

“Welcome, Stella. I’m in the conference room.”

“What are you doing there alone?”

“I’m writing a handwritten letter from the list of fans who applied to participate in the pre-recording.”

“All 300 people? Isn’t it too hard?”

“I said the same thing, but they say it’s okay because it’s going to be short?”

“He knows very well how to win fans’ hearts. Boyoung didn’t do that either. But Jihyeok-ah, come here for a second.”

Choi Seung-hwan wags his hand as if to command his subordinate.
I gently stroked Chun Hee-joo’s back pretending to work hard, and Choi Seung-hwan and I entered the room next to the meeting room and had a conversation.

“Is Stella’s sister helping you?”

“Stella says, her sister told the boss that she quit her part-time job.”

“I’m glad. I have a meeting with the PD of the station that day about appearing on Stella’s variety show? I’m going to meet you as soon as I arrive at the broadcasting station… Until then, you two will have to work hard. I’ll finish the meeting as soon as possible.”

“All right.”

“Believe.”

“Yes, brother.”

Seunghwan Choi patted me on the shoulder and went out to smoke.
I patted the area where his dirty skin had touched and as I left the room, I bumped into Stella, who seemed to have come out for a break.
Stella glanced at Chun Hee-joo at the information desk and grabbed me by the collar and dragged me into the conference room.

“I heard voices in the next room, what were you doing there?”

“I had a short talk with the CEO.”

“What were you talking about?”

“It’s about your debut day. Post-it notes? How many did you write?”

“Chapter 70… I can’t use it because I can’t think of any more.”

Stella’s hair was disheveled.
Proof that she scratched her head in deep distress.
I burst out laughing at her and I pulled Stella’s wrist and stretched out her arm.
Afterwards, I pulled out a wet tissue from the tabletop and erased the dark ballpoint pen marks on my white skin.

“Why are you buried here? Did you draw on her wrist?”

“… I didn’t know there were marks.”

I’m embarrassed.
I’ve been taking care of myself since this morning… I’m dying of cuteness.
Finishing off by wiping Stella’s wrists with a dry tissue, I lowered her long sleeves.
And then he said in passing.

“Let’s work hard until our debut. You will be the hardest, but I will do my best to help.”

“Yes…”

After debuting, I need to release at least one monster I caught.
The time has come to throw out rice cakes for transformation.
