Chapter 90 – I Finally Won Once♥

It started with a phone call from the demon king around lunchtime on a public lecture day. Spending time lying in bed, I pressed the call button at the name Mawang.

“Uh.”

– You have your girlfriend. If she wants her to be safe, she’ll pay 300 million.

I wanted to play some kind of joke again. Still, I thought to match the rhythm, so I deliberately spoke in a surprised tone.

“Yes?! You kidnapped Sohee?!”

– Well, yes. Only again,

“Wait. How do you know if it’s true?”

– What?

“If you are really Sohee, show me the proof!”

-Muh, what evidence are you talking about?

“I wouldn’t know unless it was Sohee!”

-What does that mean?

“It could be voice phishing! If you really kidnapped Sohee, please look at the inside of her thigh.”

-Hmm?

“There must be a dot of an unusual shape there. Tell me what shape it is If it’s real, you’ll find out sooner or later.”

– What? Is there such a thing?

“Yes.”

Before she could answer, her voice faded. And a few seconds to hear a rustling sound. After that, the devil heard the phone.

-What are you talking about? I can’t find it no matter how much I look for it.

“Of course. Good.”

– What? Lie?

It wasn’t an outright lie. A small dot was located on the right side of her hip, deep in the valley.

Of course I didn’t tell you that.

“You were kidding me, so I tried it too. Why wasn’t it fun?”

– How can it not be fun? I always smile when I talk to you.

“I see.”

-Something. Aren’t you?

“Me too.”

After we laughed at each other over the phone, I asked the reason for the call.

“Then why did you call?”

-Ah, you fell into Samcheonpo. Haha!

She laughed out loud again and explained the reason in a bright voice.

-From noon to dinner today, my mother says she will be away.

“So?”

-That is to say, no one is home until then.

Is this situation ‘Brother, there is no one in my house. It’s scary when I’m alone, so please come.’ Something like that.

-By the way, Jim and Saehee won’t be at home either.

“Did you really mean it wasn’t there!”

-Ahaha! What were you thinking!

“Then why did you say that! Did you call to look at your house!”

– Wouldn’t that be bad too? Haha!

Behind the happy laughter, the demon king spoke again.

– But no. Think about it. If Jim and Sae-hee, who usually stay at home, went outside, where would they go?

“Where?”

-You only have one room.

“My room?!”

– Well, that’s what I mean, hey. Would you like to have dinner in your room? Is it okay?

“It’s not okay. But what are you going to order?”

-I want to make it and eat it once instead of ordering it this time.

“You make it? By cooking?”

The demon king I knew was closer to eating than cooking. As if explaining this, she said in a bright voice.

– So I’m begging you, sweetheart.

“What?! You?!”

-Of course. You are dangerous with fire!

“It’s an induction in my room.”

-Are you going to leave such a dangerous job to Jim and Sae-hee!

“Even if Sehee is like that, you’re a bit-“

-… What?

“It’s a bit on the weak side! Uh! Then! Don’t be weak!”

She got away with a quick improvisation at her voice, which was as low as her mood. And she hastily accepted the offer to divert her attention.

“Are you going to hang up?! Now I have to go shopping!”

– Haha! I love your servility too!

My heart was a little relieved by the changed tone. Still, she got out of bed and started getting ready to leave.

“So, what do you want to eat?”

-Oh, are you really going to make it?

“He said he wanted to eat. I will make it for you.”

Ever since then, I grew up in a restaurant. She knew how to cook to some extent, though not as much as her mother or her father. Actually, it had nothing to do with working at a restaurant because the two of them were so busy that they couldn’t even prepare meals for themselves.

She was thinking of something good for two, but she added one.

-By the way, Sae-hee is also coming, so make sure you know that.

“Sehee? Is it lunch yet?”

-They said today is the midterm exam. It is said that Se-hee left right after school, so we might run into each other on the way out.

“Okay? Would it be better to wait in the room then?”

– You won’t have to worry about it that much. How about meeting at a large supermarket? Let’s go shopping together.

“That wouldn’t be bad either.”

-Well, then I’ll let Sehee know.

“Okay. But I’m going to wash up, so I’ll have to wait.”

-Okay. You need to wash

“Hey.”

– Haha! What a joke! Then see you later!

“Okay, see you here later.”

After hanging up the phone, I went to the bathroom. After taking a simple shower and washing my body, I picked up some clothes and put them on to go out.

Since I’m shopping for a short time anyway, a high school tracksuit would be enough. … For a moment. I think this is going to resemble the devil.

Even though I thought so with my head, my body packed my shopping cart and left my room. After walking for about 10 minutes, I arrived at a nearby discount mart.

“Brother?”

There was Se-hee, carrying a school bag. Unlike the first time we met, she was dressed in summer clothes because of the hot weather, and she looked at me in her short-sleeved white blouse and navy blue school uniform skirt.

“You are here.”

With her pale skin and her weakly looking arm, she came to me, lowering the smartphone she was looking at.

“You came earlier than expected? Did you wait a long time?”

“No. We just arrived.”

“Okay. Then let’s go in.”

“Yes. But brother.”

As I was about to enter, Se-hee called me and stopped me.

“The conversation we just had, didn’t it seem like we were dating?”

“What?”

“It was a conversation that a lover on a date would have, right now.”

At that, she thought of the conversation she had just had. She certainly looked that way, but I couldn’t say that she was definitely between a man and a woman.

“Ah, that’s just what I said. There’s no law saying that only when you’re dating.”

“Still,”

Se-hee reached out and grabbed the hem of my gym clothes.

“Doesn’t this look like a student couple?”

She could have looked that way in her school uniform and my gym uniform. The thought was so cute that she stroked Sehee’s obsidian black hair.

“That’s right. You’re right.”

“!”

“Are you going to stop now? I will wait for your sister.”

I turned around and entered the mart. At this time, Se-hee muttered quietly behind me.

“This time, I lost.”

“Huh? Lost?”

“It’s nothing. Now stop going in and go shopping.”

Sae-hee, evasive, took the lead and walked through the mart. I followed her with her plastic basket while looking at her strangely.

“Brother.”

Se-hee stopped at the vegetable shelf and called me. She asked, walking up beside her and looking in the same place.

“Why?”

“What are you going to have for lunch today?”

“Well. I want to make it with gyudon.”

“Gyudon?”

“Huh. Your older sister likes Japan, and she’s easier to make than I thought. Is it bad?”

“Not bad.”

“Yes? Then I will buy onions.”

While muttering, he put the onions in the red net into the basket. Then I looked up at her to ask her to go to her butcher’s section to buy her beef. At that time, the bag Se-hee was wearing caught my eye.

The demon king said that today is the day Se-hee takes her midterm exam. If the exam had just ended, I would want to hang out with my friends, but I felt sorry for calling them here.

He held out his hand to her, trying to alleviate some of her guilt.

“Give me.”

“Yes?”

Sehee looked at me and asked.

“What is it, brother?”

“Give me the bag. It won’t be heavy.”

“I’m fine.”

“Just give it to me.”

I reached out to her and forced her to remove her bag. I slung my unexpectedly light school bag over one shoulder and headed to the meat section.

“Let’s go get some meat now.”

“Thank you, brother. I just keep losing.”

“What else did you lose?”

“It’s nothing. Let’s go to the butcher section.”

I walked side by side with Se-hee, who spoke in an incomprehensible way. On the way to her butcher’s section, I apologized to her.

“Sorry. I would have liked to play.”

“Yes? What?”

“I heard that the midterm exam is over today. Now that the exam is over, you probably don’t want to have fun with your friends.”

“It can’t be.”

“What?”

“Thank you so much for giving me an excuse to get out.”

The words were so different from what I expected, so I stopped walking. After I stayed there, Se-hee took a few more steps and then looked back and asked.

“Why are you like that?”

“Uh, no.”

Once again, we started talking.

“Do you hate playing with your friends?”

“It’s not that I hate it.”

“But why do you want to get out?”

“Sometimes you just want to relax without friends. Especially when you are exhausted from studying for a test.”

“That, is it?”

It was completely incomprehensible to me, who had no one to call a friend. But the insider asked me a question that was not considerate of me at all.

“Has your brother ever been like that?”
“Uh, huh? Hey! Of course there is! I have so many friends, sometimes I just want to be alone! Huh!”

“But you don’t have any friends.”

“If you know, don’t ask!”

As if surprised by my words, Sehee opened her eyes wide and covered her mouth with her hand.

“Was there really not?”

“No! Why!”

“Sorry. It was just a joke…”

“A sincere apology makes me feel worse!”

“I’m sorry for making you feel bad.”

“Stop apologizing!”

“Instead of that,”

Suddenly, Se-hee raised her face to me. She, who knew how to kiss me, passed my cheek and whispered in my ear.

“Could you please, please?”

“What?!”

Giving goosebumps at the whisper, I hurriedly threw my body back. And shouted at her with her heated face.

“Don’t do anything like that!”

However, Se-hee observed my surprised reaction with a bold smile. That expression was the same as when her older sister, the Demon King, played a prank on me.

Se-hee, whose eyes resemble her older sister’s, still smiled wickedly and pretended not to.

“Yes? What?”

“Don’t pretend you don’t know!”

“I made you feel bad, so what’s wrong with making you feel good?”

“Not bad! Of course!”

“I don’t know.”

Saying that, I turned around and walked back to the meat section. Se-hee, who was walking while waving her skirt, muttered in a low voice that I could barely hear.

“I finally won once♥”
