Chapter 147 – Going to the Competition.
It was Saturday after the Seoul National Sports Festival selection.
As I expected, Suyeong noona met a very strong opponent in the third game and lost the match without even being able to properly use her unique hit-and-run tactics.
After the game, he comforted Sooyoung, who was crying from upset, and asked her to go on a date on Saturday. Only then did the tears stop and she smiled brightly.
Sooyoung noona held my hand and told me to win the National Sports Festival even if it was her share.
I couldn’t help but laugh while watching innocent Sooyoung noona filming a new wave drama.
I had an appointment with Sooyoung noona, so I took care of the franchise business early in the morning and went out to meet Sooyoung noona.
As I approached the bus stop where I had seen her off every time, Suyeong-noona was already waiting for her to come, then she saw me and waved her hand and came running.
When she saw the pure and cute Suyeong noona, she smiled on her lips without realizing it and waved her hand together.
Sooyoung noona approached quickly and smiled brightly and casually crossed my arms.
“Sister. Try this. Look at her face I’m glad. She seems to have been beaten a lot, but there are no major scars on her face. How upset I would be if this pretty face was hurt.”
As I wrapped my hands around her sister-in-law’s cheeks and ran them around, sister-in-law blushed as if she was embarrassed on the street.
I put that sister-in-law on her mouth, gave her a kiss, and walked away holding her hand.
Unlike her usual lively appearance, Suyeong-sister was ashamed as if she had become her old lady, and she calmly followed me holding her hand.
After the rainy season, the weather was very hot.
I don’t think I walked a bit, but I’m already starting to sweat.
We went into the store, bought ice cream, and walked to the park.
Suyeong noona held my hand tight as if she would never let go of my hand even in this hot weather, and chatted with her nonstop.
The main content of the conversation was also about my competition.
“Sungjin, when the hell did you practice such advanced skills? I thought it gave you goosebumps when you deflected your fist with your hand. I never dreamed that I would see a technology I had only heard of.”
Soo-young noona still thinks of my first match that she can’t get out of her head, and she talks a little excitedly.
“It’s not a difficult skill, but to be honest, not everyone can do it easily. You must have very good eyesight. Anyway, so my sister was that cool?”
“Huh. If it hadn’t been for a match with Yunsu oppa, I’d probably have screamed and made a fuss.”
We ate ice cream and sat under the shade of trees in the park and talked about many things.
Perhaps because it was a date, the conversation continued without a break even though there was nothing to talk about, and that was very interesting.
“Is your sister hungry? What shall we eat for lunch?”
After talking immersed in each other for a while, it was already past lunch time.
“Um… Ah! Right. I heard rumors that your mother opened a chicken restaurant. But she was rumored to have amazing chicken taste. I want to try that chicken.”
I was taken aback when Suyeong noona asked to go to our store.
I’ll take it. There’s no problem, but what if I meet my mother, Young-hee’s sister, or even Kyung-mi at the store?
Of course, I could explain it well to my mother and my women, but what should I say to Soo-young noona, who is just getting better?
If I had known this was going to happen, I should have let go of Soo-yeong noona sooner, and I regretted it a bit.
“Hmm. So, isn’t it a bit like eating chicken from lunch? Can we eat it later?”
“Ah~ why? I mean, I love chicken. I really want to try it. And if I go, maybe I can see my mother too?”
I came to know Sooyoung noona’s sincerity.
Chicken is also chicken, but in fact, I wanted to say hello to my mother.
In the end, she took her sister Suyeong to the store, hoping that her mother would not be at her store, with the feeling that something would happen to her sister’s hair.
As I opened the door to the shop, a recently installed full-length picture of Kyeong-mi was attached to the glass door.
The sight of the beautiful Kyung-mi holding a chicken leg and posing with a bright smile made people pass by in awe.
Suyeong noona also opened the door, but hesitated and looked at the picture of Kyungmi for a long time.
“Wow. Where did you get this model from? Really pretty.”
I went into the store, and there were posters of Kyungmi on the walls.
Even though it was past lunchtime, there were quite a few customers in the store, probably because it was Saturday.
However, what was unusual was that the percentage of men was much higher.
They were all people who came to see the hard-to-find posters of Kyung-mi, and people who luckily flocked to see Kyung-mi because there was a rumor that the chicken goddess Gyeong-mi sometimes haunted this place.
I sighed when I saw such pitiful men.
“Sung Jin-ah, the store is really clean and pretty. But there are many men who eat chicken in broad daylight. It’s amazing.”
My store didn’t just sell chicken one by one because I came up with an idea.
Like Lotteria, chicken was also sold at the price per piece, so there were many people who came to eat instead of meals.
Of course, delivery had to be ordered by one unit.
“Huh. Everyone is coming like this to see Kyung-mi on the poster over there. There are people who don’t eat and wake up right away, but there are people who have been dying for a long time. I can’t stop them because they’re guests, and it’s very troublesome.”
“Ah. Is that poster girl Kyung-mi? How do you know? Do you know Are you close?”
As soon as I pretended to know Kyung-mi, it was Soo-yeong noona who asked questions with a flash in her eyes.
For some reason, I had a strong thought that I should never show Yeong-hee or Kyung-mi to Soo-yeong.
“Uh? Huh. I know…It’s my brother.”
Cold sweat broke out on my back and I stared at Suyeong-noona and stuttered her words.
Sooyoung noona also has a face that doesn’t fall out anywhere, so the moment she entered her shop, men were staring at her.
Suyeong noona was also conscious of the men’s gazes and was smiling with her head raised, but she started to keep her in check when I seemed to know the pretty woman in the poster.
I was sweating with Sooyoung-noona when I suddenly felt a stir in the store.
Then someone came to our table with the chicken I ordered.
She was suffering from a barrage of questions from Sooyoung noona, and when her chicken came out, she raised her head thinking that she was lucky, but her mother was standing there holding her chicken and smiling.
When the mother, who was so beautiful, carried the chicken, the men in the store were agitated by her mother’s beauty.
Now I know that these men come to the store not only because of Kyung-mi, but also because of my mother.
It was the moment when I seriously thought about kicking them all out.
Soo-young’s older sister was staring at her mother with a startled look on her face when a young and beautiful woman brought her chicken.
“Oh my, who are you? Is our Seongjin your girlfriend?”
My mother looked at me with a grin in a very gruff tone, then she looked at Suyeong noona and she asked a question.
I got goosebumps at the look in her mother’s eyes.
The look in her mother’s eyes was clearly as if this guy had made another woman.
“Ahaha. Mother. Rather than a girlfriend, what is that.. Older sister. Sister you know.”
Unbeknownst to me, I was making an excuse to my mother that I wasn’t my girlfriend, and Suyeong-noona’s eyes went up at my words and she glared at me.
“Ho~ yeah? What is the name of this pretty student? I say Seongjin is her mother, Kim Hee-kyung.”
“Ah! Hello. Seongjin’s girlfriend, friend, is Kim Soo-young. Mother.”
Hearing that it was her mother, Suyeong’s sister was startled and jumped up and bowed her head to greet her.
She then accentuated her statement that she was his girlfriend, then called her mother, and she was friendly.
My mother had just opened her shop, so even though it was a Saturday, she came out to the shop and she was picking things up.
My mother sat down next to my older sister Soo-young.
However, the movement of her body was a bit unnatural.
Sooyoung noona was staring at her mother’s stomach.
My mother must have felt Suyeong-sister’s gaze, and she smiled happily as she stroked her stomach with her hand.
“Why is my stomach weird? That’s right. I am pregnant now It’s been 6 months now, so your stomach has grown a lot, right?”
“Ah~ Mother, congratulations.”
Sister Soo-young said congratulations to her mother, took her eyes off her mother’s belly, and looked at her mother.
My mother really had a bright smile as if she had everything in the world, and she was so beautiful.
Sooyoung noona was also staring at her mother’s smile in awe.
“Come on, Sooyoung, try the chicken. It doesn’t taste good when it’s cold.”
When the mother pushed the bowl of her chicken to Suyeong-noona and said her words, she thanked Suyeong-noona for finally coming back to her senses, then picked up her chicken leg and put it in her mouth.
Suyeong noona, who had taken a bite of the crispy bite, her eyes widened and she hurriedly ate a piece.
“And. What kind of chicken is so delicious? This is my first time eating such delicious chicken.”
“Ho Ho. Is it delicious? Oh can I say it? Because Seongjin is her girlfriend.”
Sooyoung nodded her head vigorously as she said of course she should.
“That is Crispy Chicken. It was developed by our Sungjin.”
“Yes? Sungjin developed this too? Wow, Seongjin-ah, you are really great. The other day, you said that you made tteok skewers and cup chicken, but this time it’s chicken? Besides, I’m good at boxing. What the hell are you doing? You’re trying to make me jealous.”
Suyeong noona spoke her words, but she already had her hand on her remaining chicken leg.
I smiled and quickly picked up her chicken leg and put it in her older sister’s hand.
“Oh, does Sooyoung know that Seongjin is boxing?”
“Yes. I also participated in the player selection this time. Of course I fell, but Seong-jin stuck.”
“Aha! So Sooyoung met Seongjin at the gym?”
“Yes. My father is the director of Hansol Gymnasium. And then…”
Since Suyeong’s older sister came to our gym for her sparring practice, she reported in detail to her mother.
Even though her mother was obviously meeting Soo-yeong for the first time today, she treated her as if she were Young-hee’s sister or her Kyung-mi.
As the two women chatted non-stop, I didn’t have anything to say, so I just gnawed at the chicken and listened to the story while watching the two women.
But then, suddenly, the inside of the store became noisy.
I raised my head and looked around, wondering what was going on, and my eyes met Kyung-mi, who was standing right in front of the door.
Gyeongmi came over to my house after school because it was a Saturday, and came to the store when my mother and I were all gone.
‘Huh. Fucked me.’
I hurriedly averted my eyes and shook my head.
However, Kyeong-mi, who had already found me, was already running towards me and screaming ‘oppa’.
Kyung-mi ran over, sat next to me, hugged my neck, kissed my cheek, and hung on to me, no matter who was there.
Gyung-mi’s mother and Su-yeong’s older sister were staring at her in bewilderment.
“Kyung…Kyung…Kyungmiya. There is a guest with my mother in front of me.”
When I stuttered and panicked, Kyung-mi greeted her mother with a bright smile.
“Lol. Your mother was there. Sorry. I didn’t see that she was there.”
Soo-yeong noona looked at me and Kyung-mi alternately, not knowing what had happened.
Clearly, the woman in front of him hugging Seongjin’s neck was a pretty girl named Kyungmi in the poster.
And she said that Seongjin said it was her sister she knew, but now she was kissing Seongjin on the cheek, and hugging her neck.
Sooyoung, whose mind was complicated, was contemplating how to accept this situation.
“My dear. Seongjin here is said to be his girlfriend Sooyoung. Say hello.”
I was trying to figure out how to explain this situation to Sooyoung noona, but her mother solved it simply.
Kyung-mi listened to her mother’s words, and she looked at me momentarily and raised her eyebrows. She sighed and got up from her seat.
“Hello. Seongjin’s older brother is called Kim Kyung-mi.”
When her mother cut it off and said that she was her girlfriend, Kyung-mi immediately understood what she was talking about.
When her mother called her sister Su-yeong her girlfriend, it was her unspoken expression that she would treat Kyung-mi the same as her sister Young-hee.
She admitted that her mother was her girlfriend, but she was Kyungmi and she was powerless to say anything about it.
So when Kyung-mi said that she liked her while saying hello to Soo-yeong noona, she put an inexhaustible emphasis on it.
She could have said that Kyung-mi was also her girlfriend, but she noticed that her mother’s intention was that she did not want a fight, so she said differently that she liked Kyung-mi.
Soo-young noona also looked bewildered, but she said hello to Kyung-mi.
Then, as Soo-yeong noona and Kyeong-mi engaged in a search battle, the atmosphere became awkward without saying anything.
Even though I was surrounded by three beautiful women, the thought of what I would later suffer from them suddenly gave me a headache.
My shoulders seemed to be getting sore, so I turned my head around, but all the men in the store were staring at our table.
The pretty Soo-yeong noona who will become a movie star in the future, the beautiful mother who looks only in her 20s but has a sense of maturity and coquetry, and the gorgeous Kyung-mi, the main character of the poster, appeared, so the men who came to the store today were tantamount to a windfall.
I was already disturbed and irritated as the stinking men were spying on my women with a sinister gaze.
“Ah. What are you stealing? Have you ever seen such pretty girls?”
When I suddenly jumped up and screamed, Soo-yeong and Kyung-mi, who were fighting, looked at me in surprise.
My mother had been staring at the two girls from the beginning as if they were having fun, and even under that circumstance, she knew that she was about to commit something because she was watching my flustered and annoyed facial expression. Bread burst.
Haha. I die At best, it’s a woman’s story. It’s so funny. Oh my stomach hurts.”
Suyeong noona and Kyungmi, who had a toss and toss fight laughing at how much her mother told them to die, looked at her mother and eventually laughed out loud together.
“Brother. What does that mean? Have you ever seen a pretty girl? Oppa is so funny.”
The atmosphere suddenly improved as the mother, Soo-yeong noona, and Kyung-mi laughed out loud.
As her mother asked Soo-young noona questions about this and that, her mood was definitely settled.
Before I knew it, Gyeong-mi was friendly with Su-yeong-noona as her older sister, and when she became friendly with Su-yeong-noona, who was also very pretty, she talked about my match and she chatted excitedly.
My mother also joined in, laughing and chatting like teenagers, so I had to do nothing and just stare at them.
As the beautiful girls smiled brightly and were happy, I felt that the whole store was bright.
My mood, which had been annoyed just a moment ago, improved as well, and my women became more lovable.
Inside the store, I could feel the eyes of the men who would die of envy at me.
I always say, if you’re jealous, you lose!
