Chapter 49 – Looks Like a Bi, Not a Reds

I rang the doorbell with a trembling heart.

Ding-dong! Click!

Not long after I pressed it, I heard someone answering the intercom.

-Who are you?

Unlike last time, what I heard this time was Sehee’s voice. I remembered the woman who had been talking fiercely in her room, and I stammered her words a little.

“Oh, it’s me. It’s Sehee.”

-Brother?

“Okay, can you open the door?”

-Wait, are you here!

Sehee’s unique cold voice suddenly changed to the lively voice of the Demon King. Apparently she interrupted while on the phone with her brother.

Rather than the little awkward younger sister, talking to her older sister, who is familiar with her, relieved tension.

“Huh. Because I came Open the door!”

I asked through the intercom at the Demon King’s house. The reason I came again after less than a week was because Se-hee invited me. She said she wanted to apologize for what she had done and she asked to come again.

When I asked to open the door, I heard the demon king’s lively voice again.

-Okay! Exactly, click!

But instead of opening, the phone hung up. After a few seconds, the intercom was connected again.

-Talkak, oppa?

An emotionless voice was heard.

– Please go back now. Right now.

“Why!”

– Just. Uh, sister? Don’t push, baby! I will open it now!

Gying! Clap!

I heard the sound of the two arguing, and the lock on the gate was unlocked. I didn’t know if I could go in, so I opened the door and looked inside. I saw the front door open beyond the sunny yard.

“You! Are you here!”

It was the demon king who opened the front door. She greeted me in her usual street clothes, a green sweatshirt. But she wasn’t the only one who came out.

“Welcome, brother.”

Sehee also appeared in a comfortable outfit of school gym shorts and a baggy navy blue T-shirt. She looked like she would wear neatly at her house, and when she came out dressed like that, I felt her friendliness.

Relieved, I smiled and waved at the sister who met me.

“You don’t have to come out. I’m in.”

“Then let your luggage go in. Let’s go in, Sehee.”

“I understand.”

At the polite words, the two entered the room as if they were squeezed. I screamed in surprise and ran to the front door.

“Hey! Are you really going in!”

“Of course it’s a joke!”

The demon king laughed and shouted without closing the front door. But just before I got there, she whispered to Sehee.

“Let’s really go in next time.”

“Yes. Sister.”

“Did you hear everything?!”

“Oops, did you hear?”

“Next time, I will speak less. Come in, brother.”

“Haha! Come in!”

We went inside, being guided by two beautiful sisters. The interior wasn’t that different from the last time I came. If there was anything else, it was the smell. When I first came, it smelled of fragrant aroma and high-end food, but now it is the smell of tteokbokki that you can smell at a snack bar.

I asked the demon king who went in first.

“Are you making tteokbokki?”

She turned and smiled proudly.

“Um, yes. You came, but can’t you order food for delivery?”

“What about your mother?”

Come to think of it, the goddess was nowhere to be seen. 59% of the reasons I came to this house were to see my mother.

To my question, this time Sehee explained.

“My mother has gone to work.”

On the weekend?

When he made a puzzled expression, Se-hee replied with a mechanical face that showed no emotion.

“There must have been a problem with the message you sent. It seems like a simple typo problem, so don’t worry.”

“Writing? Is your mother a writer?”

“Yes. Didn’t you know? It’s sad that I don’t know that either.”

“You have to tell me!”

“That’s right! Haha!”

The demon king walked towards me with a cheerful smile.

“But why are you asking that?”

The demon king approached me almost as if hugging me and whispered in my ear.

“Did you try to do something you couldn’t do if you were there?”

The breath on his ears and the contents made his head hot. Just as he was about to hurriedly back away, Se-hee intervened.

“It seems too close. Please stay away, sister.”

Se-hee pushed her hand into the gap between me and the demon king and dropped it. The two of us looked at each other in amazement at the unexpected action, but the demon king laughed cheerfully.

“Hot hot hot! It looks like our Sehee is jealous of Jim!”

When her older sister said that and stroked her hair, Sehee lowered her head and blushed.

I think you’re jealous of me, not you…

The Demon King, who had been stroking his younger brother’s head for a while, opened his eyes wide as if he remembered something and shouted.

“Ah! You forgot that!”

Then she walked towards her kitchen. She walked quickly and without looking back at her, she said.

“Jim will be cooking, so you and Sehee can kill some time!”

The Demon King went into the kitchen, and only Sehee and I were left in the living room. Now I was sitting on the sofa and waiting while looking at my phone, but Se-hee called me.

“Brother. Would you like to see my room?”

“What?”

Before she could finish my words, she grabbed her by the sleeve and led her up the stairs. She tried a little bit of her defiance at the thought that she shouldn’t go to her sister’s room.

“Uh, wait a minute.”

“Yes, just a moment.”

“No, not that!”

As I was climbing her stairs, I walked away, fearing that she would fall if I wrongly pushed her off. After she reached the second floor, she let go of my hand and opened one of the visible doors.

“Come on in.”

“Should I go in? Can I not go in?”

“Of course not. If you don’t go in, I’ll tell you everything about your brother’s Internet records.”

“How do you know that!”

“There are ways.”

He was expressionless, so I couldn’t tell if he was lying or telling the truth. I wasn’t going in just in case, but Sehee opened her mouth.

“You like big things, don’t you?”

“I’ll go in! No, let me in!”

It was the truth.

Before she could say more about my taste, she hurried into her room. Her room was not much different from her sister’s room. It was full of numerous pictures of women, but the difference was that the main character in the picture was only one Demon King.

“This, this… !”

“Proof that I love her sister.”

I was so shocked that I was speechless, and in the meantime, Se-hee came in closing the door. She pointed to her room and said proudly.

“This is the record of her sister growing up. Doesn’t your brother have something like this?”

“Is there!”

As Se-hee said, the demon king in the photo had many appearances. In addition to the image of a child I hadn’t seen before, photos in school uniforms, photos with bobbed hair, photos in one-piece swimsuits, and even photos sleeping poorly. The most notable among them was the photo of him standing on a hill. In the photo, the demon king was fighting with several boys with a wooden sword while fluttering silver hair.

“Is that it?”

As soon as my eyes stopped on the photo, Sehee started to explain.

“My sister was suspended from the competition because of that incident.”

“What?”

She ignored me and pointed to other pictures.

“That picture was taken by my older sister on a field trip to middle school. That was when I went on a trip to Hawaii. The one over there was taken when I got my driver’s license. You don’t know how much my sister shivered at that time.”

Se-hee, who continued to explain the photos, called me and made eye contact with me.

“Brother. I spend a lot more time with her sister than with her brother. Even now, oppa is fine when he goes home, but I live with my sister. But if you go later, you will have more time to spend with your brother.”

I didn’t respond to her serious expression, I just listened.

“My older brother knows, but I like her. Although she knows I like her as her little sister.”

Se-hee stopped talking and stroked the picture frame hanging on the wall.

“That won’t stop her liking her sister. She won’t stop even if my sister knows her heart. Therefore… “

He paused, then looked at me again. Brown-eyed, unlike her sister, she spoke without blinking.

“If my sister cries, I won’t let her go.”

To such a serious answer, I couldn’t answer stupidly, saying, “What?” Like Sehee, I answered without averting my eyes.

“Okay.”

“Then I’m glad.”

However, Se-hee finished her sentence and turned her head away as if it was nothing. Then he walked to the desk in the room. She opened her desk drawer and took out something of hers, and she came over and held it out to me.

“Here you go.”

What I handed over was a small memory chip. Once I accepted it, I asked.

“What is this?”

“This is a picture of my older sister that I took so far.”

“!”

“Did you pay off all your debts to your brother with this?”

“It’s an invasion of privacy!”

I put it in my pocket to turn it in to the police later. Still, I needed to check it with a computer to determine if she was telling her truth. Also, make a backup file in case Sehee can sneak in and attempt to destroy evidence.

In the meantime, Sehee bowed her head to me.

“Oh, and brother. Thank you. Because you didn’t tell my sister.”

“What?”

“I hired a senior from school.”

“Oh that?”

The last time I saved Se-hee from the gangsters, something felt strange. Even the way he backed down after breaking his hand, and said he didn’t know how to say he really did it. Besides, Se-hee had noticed from the moment she called one of those bullies a senior.

I deliberately kept my mouth shut because I thought it would hurt the demon king if I did something wrong, but Se-hee seemed to notice that.

I gestured like it was nothing.

“Don’t mind. But aren’t they approaching you?”

“Yes. I always make preparations like that. I didn’t know you would follow me from school.”

It was like a demon king’s younger brother. I laughed at those words, but Se-hee continued.

“That was actually a situation where I was trying to make people think that I had a crush on him.”

“Okay? I knew you really liked me.”

“I’m sorry for lying.”

“Are you okay. Are you okay.”

You can’t hate me either. If you fell in love that much, all cops would be couples. Shit!

“And thank you for coming to help then. You came even though you knew what kind of girl I was.”

It seemed like he was talking about when he was saved from among the bullies who came back. At that time, I don’t know why either. Surely she framed me and tried to seduce me with her demon lord. But when I thought Se-hee might be in danger, I jumped out right away.

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t remember why I was like that. But I remembered the time when the demon king introduced me to Se-hee.

“Isn’t that because I’m a hero?”

“… “

To my jokes on her part, she only opened her eyes a little wide and didn’t respond much. I thought her joke was a failure, but Sehee started to raise the corners of her mouth.

“What is it? A warrior.”

It was her happy smile when she met her and saw her for the first time. That day, her smile was completely different from the one she used to put on when she tried to lure me into a trap.

Sehee raised the corners of her mouth and looked at me with a pleased gaze.

“I didn’t want to talk about this, but I couldn’t help it. Hmmm!”

Coughing and nervous, she returned to her expressionless expression and continued.

“I actually thought I was a Reds. But it seems to be a bi, not a reds.”

“What, what?”

“I don’t know because it’s my first time beating a man. I was convinced when I saw my brother say that.”

My mind went blank and I couldn’t think of what to say. All the while, she didn’t stop talking.

Se-hee finished her words with her face blushing, just like when she went to rescue her in her bare feet.

“Anyway, I… I think I came to like you.”
