Chapter 47 – 2nd Store.

The next day, he went to school and entered the class, but it was noisy from morning.
When I entered, Youngrae was also waiting for me.
“Sungjin, you said you knocked down the thugs yesterday and flew around completely..”
“Ah! Where the hell did you hear that again? No, what kind of rumor spreads in one day?”
Obviously, there was no SNS or internet at that time, but rumors about me spread so quickly.
“What the hell happened? Let’s talk.”
When Young-rae persistently asked, all the classmates were staring at me with their ears perked up.
The atmosphere was such that if I didn’t speak right now, they would run right into it.
So, he had no choice but to say that the gangsters came to his mother’s store yesterday to collect the rent, and because they behaved rudely, he beat two of them and knocked them down, and talked well with one and sent them off.
“Youngrae, do you know that you are Seongryeol Yoo?”
“Omg! Sungyeol’s older brother? You know, Gwang-shik is not as good as his older brother, but he is a famous person in this world. Was Sungyeol hyung-nim here by any chance yesterday?”
“Uh? Ah… No. Just curious.”
However, as soon as Yoo Seong-ryeol’s name came out of my mouth, half of them started whispering.
It was probably rumored that I had defeated Yoo Seong-ryeol.
“Hey. No. Yoo Seong-ryeol I didn’t come yesterday. The thugs who came yesterday were under Yoo Seong-ryeol. That’s why you know…”
“Ah. Is it like that? Anyway, good luck.”
Phew! I was sighing that it was fortunate, but this time Dong-gu threw a bomb.
“Sungjin, is that rumor true? I hear you’re dating Kim Kyung-mi, the queen of middle school..”
“Ouch. Where did that rumor come from?”
Again, all the classmates were staring at me, with their ears perked up.
“Ew! It’s not that we’re dating, but somehow we become close and spend time with her brother and sister.”
“You. This child. What should I do with my older sister, suddenly Kim Kyung-mi?”
Suddenly, Youngrae wrapped his arms around my neck and started choking me.
“Kek keek. Surrender! Surrender! It has nothing to do with Younghee noona. And I know that Younghee noona is also close with Kyungmi.”
“Ah. Okay? I again.”
Youngrae laughed awkwardly and cleared his throat.
Then, all of a sudden, the kids came in and asked me.
“Sung Jin-ah, what do you mean by dating Yeong-rae noona?”
Suddenly, they were staring at me with their eyes shining like reporters with a scoop.
“Ah… No. That is..”
“Hey. Sungjin and my older sister are dating. So Sungjin is my brother-in-law. Ahem.”
While I was hesitating, Youngrae made a bombshell declaration.
“Ugh. I can’t live.”
In the end, I declared my surrender and collapsed on my desk.
“Hey! Jo Young-rae, is your older sister pretty? Kim Kyung-mi is so damn pretty.”
It seems that someone saw Kyung-mi at the store last week.
“What? My sister is of course pretty. Probably prettier than Kim Kyung-mi.”
“No way. You’re lying. Looking at you, your older sister doesn’t seem very pretty.”
“This bastard. My older sister is completely different from me. Stay still.”
Then Yeong-rae took out her picture from her wallet and held it out in front of her.
Someone looked at the picture and turned it aside.
“Wow! It’s real. It’s completely different from Youngrae. It’s pretty.”
“It’s really pretty.”
“Oh! I envy Lee Seong-jin. It’s like Kim Kyung-mi, and you follow such beauties as you like.”
Looking at the photos, they said one word at a time.
Youngrae proudly raised her head and smiled.
But today, this story spread far and wide again in an instant as a rumor…

After her school, I went to her mother’s stall, and there were a lot of customers at her stall.
So she couldn’t get in the front and went back to the pavement at the back.
Then I heard two women talking.
“Oh! Unnie, you’ve been making good money lately, so look at your face. Anyone looking at her would think she has a sister’s lover. Look, she’s gone from the wrinkles around her eyes here. Now I see that her sister is gone. Why is her skin so pale? She really makes me envious. Is it okay for her to be this pretty?”
“Ho-ho-ho. Do you see it? I’m very happy these days Our Seongjinie has become so dependable that things are going so well. This food stall was also made by Sungjin. The rice cake skewers were also made by Seongjin and taught to me, and all of these food stalls and bowls were made by Seongjin at Jungang Market. Also, our Sungjin taught us how to do business, at least how to cover the bowl with plastic. And not too long ago, well, a franchiser said he was thinking of something other than this rice cake skewers and that he was going to do something. It was made by me, the chairman of a large company.”
“Oh, how are you? She knew Sungjin was smart, but she sounds really smart. Come to think of it, she doesn’t look younger than Sungjin these days. It’s like you’re more grown up than me. I really like my sister.”
“Yes? I haven’t nagged Sungjin even once these days. Ji takes care of everything, and her younger siblings also teach Sungjin to study and take care of everything, these days I have nothing to do. Rather, I ask what I should do. I depend on Sungjin a lot these days. She really could live without her husband, but she wouldn’t be able to live a single day without Sung-jin.”
“Oh. I really envy you. I wish I had a son like Sungjin.”
“Your son is now 3 years old, when will he grow up like that? Rather ask her to change her husband.”
“Maybe? Shall I ask her to change her husband?.”
I put on a meaningful smile and entered the stall.
“My mother has gone. What do you two talk about so much fun?”
“Uh. Did our Seongjin come?” While doing so, my mother patted my butt.
“Sungjin is here.” While saying that, Aunt Jeong-hee also patted my butt.
However, Auntie Jeong-hee’s eyes looking at me were unusual.
Shall I say the eyes of a wolf with her prey in front?
“Ah. Why are you like this? I’m a grown adult too, so I’m embarrassingly tapping my butt?”
“Oh look at him. Can’t a mother even touch her son’s ass?”
While Aunt Jeong-hee was cheering, she was only laughing.
I quickly went behind Aunt Jeong-hee and grabbed her waist with both of her hands.
“Auntie’s mother is trying to touch my butt again. Hide me.”
While doing so, I pretended to avoid putting my heavy object on Jeong-hee’s ass.
Aunt Jeonghee said, “Uh.. Uh.. Yes.” As her body stiffened for a moment. While doing so, she smiled awkwardly.
Looking at her face, Aunt Jeong-hee, her face was stained red.
I quickly went to her mother’s side, patted her mother’s bottom, said, “Good job, my beautiful mother,” And ran away with her bag.
Then he patted her on the butt to Auntie Jung-hee and said, “Excuse me! My pretty aunt Good job.” Then her aunt gave her butt a big hug and came out as if she ran away quickly.
Inside, laughter and laughter erupted.

That evening, Young-rae was restless for some reason and was waiting for Young-hee’s sister to come in.
“Lee Seong-jin and Kim Kyung-mi. This is kind of unsettling. “
A little after 8 o’clock, my sister came in.
She dragged her tired-looking sister by the hand and took her to her room and forced her to sit down.
“Your sister is in trouble. I think Seongjin has another woman.”
Young-hee’s sister’s eyes widened as soon as Sung-jin suddenly brought up her story.
“There are already rumors about our school. I’ve seen an Ann named Kim Kyung-mi who attends middle school. She’s tall, she’s tall, and she’s so pretty.”
“Again, what are you talking about?”
“Oh! Noona, this is not something to laugh at.”
“I know a girl named Kim Kyung-mi. Seongjin told her everything. She is the daughter of an acquaintance.”
“Uh? Okay? Then sister, did you know that he’s been working at her mother’s shop since last week? All the girls at my school have seen it. Kim Kyung-mi and Seong-jin whispering to her mother, ‘Mother, mother’.”
At the same time, Young-rae told her older sister, Young-hee, that gangsters came to her mother’s store and started doing things, Seong-jin defeated them all, and that Kyung-mi was with her at that time.
Sparks flew from Yeonghee noona’s eyes.
“Young-rae, so, you’re saying that Seong-jin, a girl named Gyeong-mi, is working at her mother’s store, right?”
“Huh. Shouldn’t your sister do something too? At this rate, Kim Kyung-mi could lose Seong-jin. That’s why I announced to Sungjin’s classmates today that he and his sister are dating. And she turned all the pictures of her sister to the kids to see. So, for now, I’ve been talking about Kim Kyung-mi, but I’m a bit uneasy about my feelings. Kim Kyung-mi: She’s not usually pretty. If that kind of person continues to flirt with Seong-jin next to her, she will fall for Seong-jin no matter how much.”
“Joy! It’s never going to happen. Kim Kyung-mi, you mean this request is scoring her on her mother?”
It is Yeong-hee noona who burns with a fighting spirit.
“So, what does Sungjin say?”
“Huh. Kyung-mi said that she was not dating and that she was her sister whom she knew, but for some reason, she didn’t seem to hate Sung-jin or Kyung-mi.”
“Hmm. You mean that?”
Yo˘ng-hu˘i’s older sister pondered something, and she sank into silence.

Yo˘ng-hu˘i hadn’t slept well all night.
It’s not because she doesn’t trust Seong-jin, but because Kyung-mi knows Seong-jin and her mother, she’s frustrated that she can’t do anything herself.
Even though I went to work and worked, the work was not caught in my hands.
After the bank, Seong-jin thought about stopping by her mother’s store, but since work usually ends at 8 or 9, she couldn’t afford to go.
At times like this, she should meet Seong-jin more often to confirm her love, but since she wouldn’t meet her at all on weekdays, she couldn’t answer.
As she watched herself unable to do anything for several days, she became restless, and the older sisters she worked with worried about what was going on.
Today is Saturday, I finished the window business in the morning, and started paying my bills without having lunch.
When her older sisters asked what was going on, she asked to be able to finish the work as soon as possible because she had to go somewhere urgently.
As a result of her frantic work, she was able to finish her work a little past 3:00.
I quickly changed my clothes and jumped on the bus to the front of Youngrae’s school.
In front of the school gate, I saw a tteokbokki shop crowded with people.
I checked my clothes once and entered the stall while making the prettiest expression possible.
“Welcome. Pretty lady, what can I give you?”
She was nervous because Seong-jin was her mother, but she was unexpectedly very young and beautiful as she greeted her with a smile.
She is a beautiful woman and smiles naturally at the kind mother’s appearance, bowing her waist at 90 degrees and bowing loudly.
“Hello, mother. My name is Jo Young-hee.”
“Yes? Who are you wearing over there?”
“Ah! Youngrae, a friend of Seongjin, is the older sister. And, Sungjin is her girlfriend.”
“To?”
Yo˘ng-hu˘i smiled brightly, and her mother made a puzzled expression.
