Chapter 67 – New Menu and Business Expansion Plan

On Saturday, I decided to go to Dong-gu’s house and play with Dong-gu and Young-rae after a long time.
The three of us went to Mother, picked up skewers of rice cakes, said hello, and left.
The three of us were flirting and going, but someone blocked our way.
“Uh? Kyung-mi, what are you doing here?”
“This is Kim Kyung-mi.”
I was surprised that Kyungmi suddenly appeared, and Youngrae and Donggu were surprised by her beauty.
Gyungmi sighed, raised her eyes, and glared at me.
When the atmosphere was unusual, Dong-gu and Young-rae hurriedly greeted me and left.
“Brother, how could you do this? Aren’t we okay again? But how come you haven’t contacted me for a week?”
I was suddenly annoyed.
It’s been a while since I decided to hang out with my friends, but I was annoyed to see them leave without noticing, and I was annoyed by the sight of Kyeong-mi raising her eyes right in front of me.
“So?”
I frowned and spoke in a subdued voice.
“Uh? Uh?”
Kyung-mi looked at my face for a moment and she must have been taken aback. She stuttered without speaking.
I stared at her for a while with her face fixed, and Kyungmi was at a loss for what to do at my appearance, and she immediately tried to break her cry.
“I… Over there. Brother. That is. Therefore.”
I grabbed her by the wrist and started dragging her.
“Okay. Let’s play. Follow me. Where do you want to go?”
When my voice was cold, Kyungmi tried to remove my hand somehow.
Let go of her wrist
“Why? You suddenly don’t want to hold hands with me?”
“Brother, why are you suddenly like this? It’s scary. Aang~”
In the end, Kyungmi sat down on the ground, wrapped her arms around her knees, buried her face, and cried.
I was momentarily taken aback.
“Hey. Why are you crying on the street? Wake up soon Ah~ Why are you so embarrassing? If it doesn’t happen, I’ll just go.”
After saying that, I turned around and threw it away, and Kyungmi quickly stood up and grabbed my arm.
“Brother. No. Don’t go. I won’t cry Sobbing.”
Cheeks with tear marks, eyes full of tears. Ego. Why is he so pretty?
After sighing, I couldn’t help but wipe away the tears with one hand and stroke my cheek.
Then, as if Gyung-mi had cried, she rubbed her cheek in my hand.
“Hey. Are you a dog Why are you rubbing your face?”
“Because it is good. Brother.”
“Ego. Why the hell do you like me?”
“Hmm. He studies well, he’s tall, he’s handsome, he’s good at fighting, and he’s reliable. Hmm. Also. Anyway, my brother is fine.”
“You are crazy. Really crazy hey. Don’t like me in the future.”
“Why? Why? Then. Brother. Are you going to Younghee unnie?”
“Why is Younghee noona showing up all of a sudden?”
“No. Look at me and tell me not to like you. Then other people will like it. That’s why I’m Younghee’s sister.”
“No. Younghee noona also told me not to like me.”
“What? Brother. She just got another girl? Black.”
“Uh? Don’t cry. Don’t cry Because she didn’t have another woman. If you really cry, leave it.”
“But why all of a sudden? What did I do wrong?”
Tears quickly formed in Gyungmi’s eyes.
“Whew~ no. Even if you didn’t do anything wrong It was my fault.”
“But why? Why are you acting so cold all of a sudden? Last time, you clearly said let’s talk again. Wasn’t that a good thing?”
“Huh~ Let’s go somewhere first. You can’t talk on the street like this.”
I dragged Kyungmi to her neighborhood playground.
‘Ah. In the future, go to a nearby coffee shop. This has nowhere to go.’
During this time, there were coffee shops and bakeries to visit.
It was a time when coffee shops were just starting to open in front of the university.
That’s why there weren’t many places for young children like us to go.
Because it was a Saturday afternoon, there were quite a few children playing in the playground.
I went around the sand and sat down on a bench in the corner.
I didn’t say a word and just sat there, and Kyeong-mi just looked at me.
“Excuse me. Brother. Are you angry?”
“I’m not angry.”
“No way. I was angry when I saw it.”
“Even though I’m not angry.”
“Hey. I am angry.”
I sighed and turned my head.
“Don’t be angry, brother. I did everything wrong. I just wanted to see my brother. But my brother never came home and never contacted me. When I contacted Younghee unnie, she said that she hadn’t even met Younghee unnie. That’s why I came here because I didn’t want to. I’m sorry if I offended you.”
“What do you have to be sorry for? It’s all my fault Did you eat lunch?”
“No. I came right after school.”
“Let’s go. I need to get some food from the lady after a long time.”
“Brother, are you going to my house?”
“Okay. See you too. Compassionate. Let’s go.”
Kyung-mi was happy, and her face immediately brightened.

I went to Gyeongmi’s house, had lunch prepared by Aunt Hyejeong, talked about the prosecutor’s investigation with Aunt Hyejeong and her uncle, and then went up to Gyeongmi’s room.
Maybe because my atmosphere was heavy, Kyungmi couldn’t come close to me.
Keeping an eye on her, she twitched the corners of her mouth to see if she had something to say.
“What? If you have something to say, say it.”
“Brother. Can I sit next to you?”
“What the. Sit down. What are you looking at?”
Kyungmi jumped up and sat down next to me, and she put my arms around her chest.
“Here, Kyung-mi. Do you know Younghee’s sister’s phone number? Call me and tell me to come to your school when the bank is over.”
“Brother why? Why sister?”
“Let’s see what happened today and talk about it.”
Kyungmi was looking at me with an anxious gaze.
When I urged him one more time, he had no choice but to leave the room and call.
“My sister came to the school by 4:30.”
“Huh. Okay. Let us go too.”
“Brother why? There’s still plenty of time before it’s 4:30.”
“Just. I’ll see you in a little while, and it’s kind of hard to be with you like this.”
“Brother. Are you trying to break up with me today? Isn’t it?”
Kyungmi asked with her embarrassed face and voice, and I was silent for a moment.
Immediately, tears began to well up in Gyungmi’s eyes.
“Kyung-mi, don’t cry. First of all, I’m not doing this to break up.”
Kyungmi hurriedly sucked in her breath and held back her tears.
However, the tears that were already welling up flowed again.
Gyung-mi, hurriedly wiping away her own tears with her hand, turned her head away and took a deep breath as if to stop her crying.
“Kyung-mi, I can’t. You’re taking your heart out here. I’ll go home, drop my bag, and come back on time.”
“Brother, can’t you just stay with me? “
“Don’t cry. I’m not trying to break up, so I know that and I’m taking care of myself. Understand?”
When Kyung-mi forced her to nod, I said hello to Hye-jeong and came home.

It was almost 4:30, so I went to Gyeongmi’s middle school.
Kyeong-mi and Young-hee were already with me.
The two of them were sitting close to each other, talking in a tense atmosphere.
I didn’t even know I was getting closer and they were talking.
“Everyone came before me.”
“Brother”, “Sungjin-ah.”
I smiled at the two of them and took the lead in entering the school.
Now I went to the wisteria bench where the leaves had fallen and sat down, asking the two people to sit in the front row.
It was clear that they were both nervous about what I would say.
“First of all, thank you so much for loving me. Let me ask you something.”
“Will your sister marry me?”
“Eww. Huh?”
My older sister was taken aback by my quick-witted question.
“Don’t you want to marry me?”
“No. I want to get married.”
“Then how about Kyungmi? Want to marry me?”
“Huh. I will marry my brother.”
“Then it is a problem. I am one person, but two people say they want to get married.”
The two glanced at each other and then looked into each other’s eyes.
“You know what I’m worried about? I honestly like both of them. But as you can see now, I have to make a choice somehow. So, who will I choose? Younghee’s sister? Or slight?”
I sighed and looked at the two of them.
“So, to be honest, this situation is very burdensome for me. I just want to love comfortably, but in the end, I hate that someone has to be heartbroken. And at how old am I now, do I have to worry about things like this and waste my energy? I’m embarrassed for that too. Do you know how much work I have ahead of me? You have to study, you have to earn money, you have to be successful. But why should I spend my time on something so pointless? I really hate spending time arguing over my senses and emotions when I’m busy meeting and loving each other.”
Young-hee noona sighed and put on a resigned expression, while Kyeong-mi raised the corners of her eyes and made a slightly angry expression.
“Isn’t oppa too selfish? Do you think we do this to oppa because we have time left? You said you love us too. But does it make sense to feel burdened now?”
Kyeongmi asked as if asking.
“Okay. It’s my fault that I loved both of them. But it was you who chose this selfish person. When I told you to stop, you were the one who chose to continue. I don’t care if you call me a bad guy. No matter what the two of you do, I will go my own way from now on. It was the two of you who chose to love this bad guy.”
Kyeong-mi couldn’t speak for her anymore, and shut her mouth tightly.
I didn’t say anything more, and I closed my mouth.
After a while, tears flowed from Younghee noona’s eyes, who were still.
“Okay. Sungjin. So what would you like us to do? I never want to be the one holding you back. I wanted to see you succeed next to you, I had no intention of burdening you.”
Seeing her sister’s sorrowful appearance, her heart ached and she let out a sigh.
“I’m sorry brother. I also have no intention of ever grabbing your ankle. I’m just doing it because I like being by my brother’s side. Yes, I’m honestly greedy. I never want to lose my brother to someone else. What shall we do? Huh?”
“Phew~ If I asked you to break up like this, would you do that?”
Neither could answer.
In the end, my sister burst into tears.
Kyungmi’s face was also about to burst into tears.
“Ehh~ Noona, don’t cry. And don’t cry too. What the hell am I talking about? I’m the bad guy So don’t do this. I just want to lighten the load on my mind. Even if we break up, it doesn’t mean we’re completely strangers. Later, next time, we can go out to society and meet again, right? It doesn’t have to be me, right? What a great person I am.”
The two women were silently shedding tears, and I was looking at the distant sky.
