Chapter 29 – Episode 29. Errand

“Ha…”

Sihyeon sighed as she got into the car.
The reason was because I left the material sample at home.

‘I make mistakes like this that I don’t normally make…’

This morning, Sihyeon was lost in thought while eating with Seonwoo.

‘Should I ask her for a massage tonight?’

As he was thinking about that, he forgot to pack the bag with the samples.

‘Should Si-eun see it and ask me to bring it… ?’

Sihyeon, who was contemplating while looking at her cell phone, eventually made a call.

**

Jiyingㅡ

I woke up to the sound of my cell phone vibrating.

“Ugh… How long did you sleep?”

I checked the time, and it seemed like I slept for about 30 minutes.

I didn’t think I lacked stamina, but it was really hard to get up in the morning these days.

Rather than saying that your muscles are tired or fatigued, it’s more fundamental… I felt like I didn’t have enough energy.

After coming home from my part-time job, having lunch with Si-eun, and resting on the sofa for a while, I felt like I had fallen asleep.

When I opened my eyes, Si-eun was asleep, leaning on my thigh.

When I checked my phone, I saw a call from Sihyeon, so I answered the call.

“Uh, sister, what’s going on?”

“Seonwoo, can I ask you a favor?”

“Yeah, it’s okay.”

“If you go to my room, there’s a black crossbody bag. There’s a sample of the outfit in it. Can you bring it to me?

“Where should I go?”

“We can go to the office. I’m outside right now, but I’ll probably go back before you get to the office, Sunwoo.”

“Yes, I understand. Send me the address via text message separately.”

“I’m sorry for asking you this… I’ll buy you something delicious next time.”

“If that’s the case, I won’t decline.”

“Thank you. See you later.”

“Yes.”

I finished the phone call with Sihyeon.

Si-eun woke up to the sound of him talking to Si-hyeon.

Si-eun stood up, rubbing her eyes.

“Ugh… Who is it?”

“Sihyeon’s older sister.”

“Haaaaam… What’s going on?”

“Do you want me to bring something?”

“… Really? Shall I go with you?”

Is it really necessary for two of us to go? As I was thinking this, Si-eun’s cell phone rang.

On the screen, it said Editor.

“Oh, please call me for a moment!”

Si-eun took her cell phone and went into her sister’s room.

After a while, Si-eun came out of the room after finishing her call.

“Hmph… I don’t think I can go.”

“What’s going on?”

“There are some things that need to be urgently corrected…”

“I’m just bringing your bag, so there’s no need for you two to go.”

“Still…”

Si-eun looked disappointed, perhaps because she was disappointed.

I immediately went up to Sihyeon’s room on the second floor and brought my bag down.

Si-eun was waiting for me at the entrance, as if she wanted to see me off.

“Oppa, watch out for cars on the way. Raise your hand when you cross the traffic light!”

“What kind of kid am I? And Su-ah doesn’t even do that.”

“Hehe, I’m the only one who thinks about you, right?”

“… Yes. Our Si-eun is the only one.”

After seeing Si-eun off, I left the house.

“… Is this place?”

Although I got lost for a while, I was able to arrive at Sihyeon’s company.

I tried contacting Sihyeon at the entrance, but there was no answer.

Standing in front of this looked suspicious, so I decided to go inside first.

“Hello…?”

As I opened the door and said hello as I entered, an employee nearby came towards me.

“W-What brought you here?”

“I have something to give to CEO Jeong Si-hyeon.”

“Oh, the boss is out for a moment. Could you wait a moment?”

I was randomly dragged by a staff member and guided to the reception room.

At first, I planned to just hand over the items and go back.

However, since I came this far, I followed the employee to see Sihyeon’s face and take a look around the company.

The employee left the reception room after asking us to wait a moment.

I remained alone in the room and looked around.

A moment later, a murmur was heard outside the door.

“Who is it?”

“Oh, are you by any chance the model for the clothes we are launching this time?”

“No, I think he’s an acquaintance of the boss?”

“Anyway, it’s really crazy…”

… I started to regret coming in.

I tried contacting Sihyeon again, but the text message was still unread.

While I was contemplating whether to leave my things behind and go back, the door opened and someone came inside.

She was wearing her round glasses and her hair was tied up,

Maybe because she was wearing glasses, she seemed a little intellectual, and overall she looked cute.

“Hello? My name is Lee Hye-jin, and I’m in business with Si-hyeon. Have you heard what I’m talking about?”

“Yes, once before…”

Originally, Sihyeon was attending school normally.

Meanwhile, at the request of her friend Hyejin, who was preparing to start a business, she became a clothing model.

While Sihyeon was filming, she talked about improvements in the design and material of the clothes, and a few days later, Hyejin suggested that she be interested in starting a business together.

I heard that Si-hyeon ended up starting a business together due to Hye-jin’s constant love calls and her suggestion to just come physically, saying that she had prepared everything.

It was a small shop at first, but as her vision’s photos spread, it became famous, and her orders increased.

In addition, as the clothes received positive reviews, the company gradually grew in size and has now grown to the point where it can be considered a small business.

I heard that Sihyeon was in charge of the design and materials of the costumes, while Hyejin was mainly in charge of parts related to profits and money.

“You’re as handsome as they say.”

“… Huh? Rumors?”

“A past time, there was a bar paralysis incident during a festival… You are the person, right?”

“Ah…”

She didn’t know anything about cool, but when she was a freshman, she was pressured by her seniors to serve as a server on the school festival, and at that time, a lot of customers came.

But what happened with that…

“I wanted to go see him then, but I was sad that I couldn’t go because I was in the midst of preparing to start a business. I was so surprised to find out that it was Sihyeon’s younger brother.”

“Ah, yes…”

Right now, this place felt uncomfortable, like a thorn cushion.

“But what brought you here?”

“Sihyeon’s sister asked me to bring this.”

I handed the bag containing the material samples to Hyejin.

“Really? He’s not the kind of kid who makes mistakes like this… But thanks to you, it’s nice to see his face like this. I wanted to see his face, but Sihyeon tried to stop me.”

She didn’t know what to say before.

I just awkwardly raised the corners of my mouth and smiled.

In my heart, I hoped the vision would come quickly.

“Oh, that’s right, I heard from Sihyeon that you’re perfect at giving massages?”

“… Cough.!”

I was thirsty and was drinking the orange juice in front of me when I stopped by.

“Are you okay?”

“Cough.! Cough.! Ah, it’s okay.”

“Take it slowly. By the way, Sihyeon said that after receiving the massage, her facial expression improved and her body felt lighter.”

When I first heard about massage, I was confused.

However, after listening to the story, fortunately, it seemed like I didn’t hear any details about ‘massage’.

“I want to get it too, but of course it’s not free! I’d like to bring a small gift, is that okay?”

“…”

Part of me wanted to refuse, but after seeing all of Sihyeon’s friends, it wasn’t easy for her to refuse.

Even if you come, you can just give a regular massage rather than a ‘massage’, but I didn’t really feel like doing it.

Of course, objectively speaking, Hye-jin was an attractive person with an elegant appearance, but right now, she was too busy caring about only Su-ah and Si-hyeon.

At that time, the door opened again and Sihyeon entered the living room.

“Huh… Hah… Seonwoo, did you wait long?”

“No, I just came here too.”

As soon as Sihyeon came in, he glared at Hyejin.

“You didn’t say anything strange, did you?”

“Oh my, you’re talking like I’m a strange person?”

Sihyeon immediately held my hand and went outside.

I was led by Sihyeon to a café near the office.

“You worked hard to get this far.”

“Aren’t you busy? Is it okay if you do this with me?”

“I asked for this because time is tight to get home. We have time to talk briefly.”

“… By the way, didn’t Hyejin say anything strange?”

As soon as I heard those words, a few thoughts went through my head, but I decided to just move on.

“No, we were just chatting for a moment. By the way, do you remember that we decided to buy you something delicious? I’m sure you’re not going to treat yourself with this coffee, are you?”

“Of course not. Think about what you want to eat. Let’s go together next time.”

After talking with Sihyeon for a while, I went back home.

**

“Whoa…”

I was able to take a breather thanks to Sunwoo coming here.

After seeing Sunwoo off to a nearby station, Sihyeon returned to the company.

As soon as I entered the company, Hyejin spoke to me.

“Sunwoo, he’s so handsome? Is he really worth hiding?”

When Sihyeon saw Hyejin’s reaction, she felt her head pounding.

“You… Didn’t say anything strange, right?”

“Um… Exactly. Huh?”

Hyejin looked away and answered.

When I heard that image and the answer, I couldn’t help but sigh at the vision of her.

“Oh, by the way, we’re launching couple clothing this time, right?”

“… So?”

Sihyeon already felt something ominous.

“How about Sunwoo appearing as a male model?

“No.”

Sihyeon flatly refused.

“… This time, there will be a lot of costumes, so the filming time will be longer. It will be difficult for Sunwoo. Plus, the filming day is during the semester, so he will be even busier.”

Si-hyeon immediately came up with a plausible reason, but Hye-jin did not give up.

“I’m not forcing you, just say something. OK?”

In his heart, Si-hyeon thought it would be nice if they could take pictures together, but he didn’t like the idea of ​​Seon-woo’s face being sold through something like this.

“… I’m just going to say it as if it were really passing by.”

“Don’t be so mean. Let’s talk formally. I’ll pay you well.”

“That’s natural.”

Sihyeon went back to his room to do his work, wondering what to do.
