Chapter 64 – Silver Hair

It’s a risky gamble no matter how you look at it.
Don’t dress up and go out.
Do you know how much of a blow it is to be kicked out of Cheonghwa Academy and go to Honghwa Academy?

“It’s dangerous.”

As she muttered quietly in a worried voice, did Seo-yeon realize that it was not something to ask for as a joke?
She also playfully asked me not to dress up as a man.
I can’t beg you to do it to me anymore.

“But…”

In a groaning voice.
Even though I said that I wanted to go out with her sister, she was the one who noticed me.
She thinks Lee Seo-ha is pretty too, but she looks almost like her.
Since a ‘real’ woman was doing that, it was not easy to say no.

“…Only this time.”

My younger brother and Nabal.
From my point of view, Lee Seo-yeon is just a pretty woman.
How can you refuse when you’re looking at me with those twinkling eyes?

“Wow, really?”

Is Seoyeon really that happy that her wish has come true?
She immediately looked at me with a bright expression on her face.

“Then can you step aside?”

All the women’s clothes are under it.
Passing over Seoyeon’s puzzled expression, she set up her mattress, revealing a Pandora’s box underneath.
Opening her box revealed the women’s clothing and underwear she had bought just in case.

“It’s surprising, I thought there were no women’s clothes.”
“For now, just in case.”

My choice was the black dress I had worn before.
To be honest, I didn’t want to stand out in the eyes of others.
So, I thought it was a pretty decent choice.

“Are you really going to wear that?”

Now, her sister, who doesn’t even call her brother, asked me with her eyes wide open.
Oh, what can I say?
I don’t know why Kim Joo-won and I are talking about my clothes.

“She should look like a lady…”
“Hmm.”
“No. She’s pretty even wearing it, but I just thought it would make her look older.”

Pass.
After hearing Seoyeon’s words, she pondered for a while, then took out the dress and hung it on her chair for a while.
But she still feels the risk of going out as a woman, and she won’t do anything to mitigate that risk.

“What is it, oppa. Where did your bra go?”
“Why.”
“No, no matter how alone she is at home, is she like that even when she came to Yoon Si-hoo earlier?”

That bastard doesn’t really care because she’s seen my breasts a few times anyway?
Looking at her eyes as if she was like that, Seoyeon said, “You’re a person who is going to be in real trouble.” She suddenly slammed her palm on my back.

“Aww!”
“I think she’s crazy. No, no matter how much she is a man, she’s looking at other people, so she shouldn’t be wearing her underwear.”
“…I wear bandages all the time, right?”
“It’s the same as dressing up as a man, huh?”

What is this scolding feeling?
As soon as I took off the pajama dress I was wearing, I was dazzled by the barrage of nagging.
No, what’s wrong with not wearing a bra?

“Anyway, I’ll be sure to do it next time. I guess her older sister doesn’t know yet, but a man is a creature just by having a woman next to him.”

Is that right?
It feels like I’ve been caught and hit by something.

“So you have to be careful.”

However, while tilting her head at her tone as if she was speaking with her sincerity.
Not wanting to hear more nagging, I nodded roughly at her words and put on her underwear.
Stockings… You should wear something thin.

“Uh, what.”

The bullshit I did to that kid.
And if you tell me what happened at the end, what kind of reaction will you get?

“I’ll be careful.”

From an angle Seoyeon wasn’t looking at, she thought she was crazy for thinking about those things.
Even though it’s terrible things that normal people don’t even want to think about.
I felt a sense of déjà vu for myself who thought nothing of it.

Am I right then?
No, looking at the fact that I created a character named Kim Joo-won, was I originally like this?

“I have to leave now… How do I get out?”

Did you think of it only when you were about to leave?
It’s awkward when the owner of a male academy dormitory room is a woman.

“There are ways. Put on your shoes, would you like a hand?”
“Yes?”

As soon as he held her hand, he manifested his ability and accessed the second dimension space.
I used dimensional transfer by specifying the object named Seoyeon Lee and myself as targets.
I was used to the technique I had already used many times and moved Seoyeon out of the dormitory without incident.

“Wow…”

As if the dimensional transfer she had experienced for the first time was strange, Seoyeon looked around at the surrounding scenery that had changed in an instant.
There.

“Sister, why did you come here?”

Even though the sun is setting, I don’t think it’s that late.
Having lived in a conglomerate family, I wonder if I have never been to such an eerie place.

‘She’s a rich girl.’

When I was Lee Soo-hyun, I lived in a one-room village like this for two years.

“I haven’t dressed up as a man right now, but if you show your ability, you’ll be suspicious.”
“Ah.”
“If I had dressed as a man, I would have just walked out comfortably, but I can’t help it.”

But rather than dissatisfaction, Seoyeon wondered if it was a place she had never seen before.
As if she knew something new.
Even as I looked around her with her curious eyes, she was the one who followed me well.

“Are there too many people in the academy despite not having that many students?”
“Near the academy is one of the safest places in the country.”
“Hmm.”
“That’s why a lot of people live around here.”

Is it strange to see downtown for the first time?
Seoyeon was busy keeping an eye on her surroundings.
I adjusted her walking speed so she wouldn’t move away from me and slowly started looking around for something good to eat near her.

‘Because she’s a girl, she doesn’t like Korean food.’

Of course, the process wasn’t smooth.
Not knowing Seoyeon’s eating habits, I couldn’t easily get her to go there, even though there were several restaurants passing by.
I could just live off of a meal, but Seoyeon might not be like that.
Maybe there’s a lot of food to cover.

“Sister.”

As she was thinking about it, she turned her head to Seoyeon’s voice.

“Shall we go over there to eat?”

The place she points to with her fingertips is a Korean restaurant that I tried to ask to go over there but canceled.
It’s a Korean restaurant, but it’s a small restaurant that sells home-cooked baekban, so she couldn’t say it because it wouldn’t suit her taste.

“I’m fine, how are you?”
“It’s fine if you like my sister.”
“What is that? I’m fine, just pick what you want to eat.”
“I don’t like it. Do what you want to eat.”

A momentary teasing.
But my stubbornness was not strong enough to break Seoyeon’s warm heart.
In the end, as she suggested, I set foot in the Korean restaurant with her.

“Hmm.”

The menu structure was simple.
Regular home-style white rice and stir-fried pork.
Or really home-cooked foods like grilled mackerel or soybean paste stew.
But Seoyeon wonders even that.

“Wow, there’s a restaurant like this.”

Wait a moment for her to take her seat and look at her menu board.
When I saw the four words, Stir-fried pork, written on the notice board on the wall, I thought of the dish Kim Joo-won had cooked for me for a moment.

‘It was so delicious…’

Pup.
If you’re going to do it well, do it well.
Why did you do that to me…

“Yeon-ah Seo.”
“Huh?”
“Menu, doenjang stew and stir-fried pork?”

It was purely because of the memory of her floating on the surface.
It was absolutely not that I missed the fried pork stir-fry that Kim Joo-won made for me, which was perfect for my taste.
It’s just that I suddenly wanted to eat those dishes.

“It’s just because I suddenly want to eat. Oh, if you want something to eat, you can do that.”
“Whoops, my sister. She seems to like things like that after her memory was blown away.”

Seoyeon smiled, as if she had already been to different restaurants several times.
“Auntie!” She said, and after she casually ordered the menu, she joked to me as if she was having fun.

“Unnie, in the past, I really liked western food like pasta and steak.”
“Uh, yes?”
“Yeah. That’s why you didn’t eat out with me all the time. I liked rice and things like seasoned vegetables and egg rolls, but my sister was the complete opposite.”
“I didn’t know…”
“Do you think that’s all? My appetite is so picky. Unlike me, I always tried to eat only the dishes prepared by the chef at home.”

Seoha Lee has that kind of setup.
I’m a little surprised
The man I portrayed in the novel was an omnivore known in the underworld as well.

“Whoa, if you feel guilty, will you play with me even if you haven’t played before?”
“Well, then go and see…”

Well, there’s no reason for me to reject it if you like it.
And if it’s a beauty like Lee Seo-yeon.

‘Rather, I’m grateful.’

The moment she smiled and tried to answer Seoyeon’s words.
When I saw In-young passing by the window, I shut my mouth for a moment without realizing it.
No matter how long the years have become, it is still the beginning of April.
It’s not time for the sun to rise until after 7pm, so it’s getting dark outside.

‘…No way.’

If you’re a person with normal black hair, there’s no reason for me to stop.
A person passing by with dark hair outside in the dark.
‘Cause it’ll never go unnoticed

“Sister?”

But what just passed is the color of the person’s hair…

Silver hair.
The hair color of the child who raped me, and a color that is not easily seen in Korea.

“Sister, what’s wrong?”
“Uh, huh?”
“Sister’s sudden face…”

If not, you might be more fortunate.
It’s because he’s still in such a state that he can’t even control his body properly.
But…

“Sister, where are you going!”

Ignoring Seoyeon shouting at me from behind, I got up and walked out of the restaurant.
I could see that
Stumbling, looking around as if looking for something.

“Kim Joo-won?”

The look of the guy.

“Lee Seo-ha…?”

Did you hear my voice?
Kim Joo-won, who was slowly moving forward, turned his feet and met his gaze.
With a bad look on your face.
He muttered my name quietly.
