Chapter 82 – Ye-Eun Invites Jin-Seok to Dinner

My S-class hero sister and childhood friend are taken away. – 82 – Ye-eun invites Jin-seok to dinner

The relationship between Jinseok and Yeeun was almost like that of biological siblings. Although it was after Jinseok entered the orphanage, she had known him since he was very young.

Ye-eun thought of Jin-seok as her younger brother, and Jin-seok also felt close to Ye-eun as if he were her family. However, Jin-seok was not conscious of her romantic feelings towards Ye-eun.

Of course, Jin-seok knew that Ye-eun was attractive as a woman, but for some reason, she was intimidated by Ye-eun, who was actually so beautiful and attractive. She Jin-seok never even imagined that she could become Ye-eun’s lover.

The same goes for Ye-eun, who did not consider Jin-seok as her romantic partner; she truly regarded him as her younger brother. So she was able to hug Jinseok without much hesitation.

Serin also knew that Jinseok was not interested in Yeeun as the opposite sex. However, when she happened to see Ye-eun hugging Jin-seok, she couldn’t help but feel suspicious.

(Jinseok couldn’t believe Yeeun’s older sister…)

Because Ye-eun’s beauty was so attractive, it was impossible for Serin not to feel her worry and concern. In particular, Ye-eun boasted a voluptuous, glamorous and attractive body, in contrast to Serin, who was short and had a cute figure. So, Se-rin felt somewhat inferior to Ye-eun.

(Ye-eun’s expression on Jin-seok’s face as he was hugged by her older sister seemed like he was completely ecstatic. He buried his face in her chest… Do men like big breasts after all? Huh! Jin-seok is an idiot…!)

Serin buried her face in Ye-eun’s chest and recalled her Jin-seok’s blank face as if he was ecstatic, and she gently massaged her own breast. Se-rin was angry at Jin-seok’s stupid appearance as he was hugged by Ye-eun. The face of Jin-seok, who felt relief after being comforted by Ye-eun, seemed to Se-rin like a simpleton who was mesmerized by Ye-eun’s heart.

(But it could not have been Ye-eun’s older sister… To Jin-seok… But it was definitely a sight I saw myself. Ah, I don’t know.)

Her suspicions, jealousy, and unpleasant feelings were spreading through Serin’s mind. She was a naive character, Serin, but she had dark emotions that she had never felt before. Serin had always been a close older sister to Ye-eun, and she had deep trust in Jin-seok as a lover, but she felt uneasy at the sight of her that she saw before her eyes.

“Sister, tonight’s dinner…”
“I’m going out tonight. Go in alone.”
“…Yea, I got it.”
“…”

Jin-seok asked Mi-yeon what she wanted for dinner, but she only responded coldly. As if she didn’t even bother to answer Jinseok, she just threw her words out without even turning her head or looking at Jinseok.

(Sister…)

Jinseok was hurt by Miyeon’s cold appearance, which felt cold enough to be cold. She felt coldly distant, even more so than she did to others. Miyeon’s sudden cold appearance felt really strange. There were many instances where she would now stay out without saying a word and not come home.

“I have no obligation to tell you where I sleep.”

On the day when Mi-yeon came to stay overnight with her, when Jin-seok asked her where she had been sleeping, she answered with one cold word as expected. She felt as if she were a huge wall of ice. Jin-seok felt embarrassed by Mi-yeon’s change, but she didn’t know what to do and just backed away. She was a strong and dependable older sister, but Mi-yeon’s sudden change in coldness toward her caused Jin-seok to feel deeply confused.

Jinseok left Miyeon’s side gloomily. Jin-seok was suffering from the feeling of helplessness that he could not do anything about Mi-yeon, who was now ignoring her and not even talking to her. However, Ye-eun once again approached Jin-seok, who was standing pacing the hallway with a gloomy expression.

“Jinseok. Why are you doing this?”
“Actually…”

Jinseok, who had already received counseling from Yeeun once, naturally explained to her what had just happened. When Ye-eun heard Jin-seok’s story, she looked a little angry. Ye-eun was angry at Mi-yeon, who was completely ignoring Jin-seok, without realizing it.

“How can you do that? I need to talk to Miyeon.”
“Oh, no. There’s no need to do that. Because of things like me…”

Jin-seok grabbed Ye-eun’s wrist and stopped her from talking to Mi-yeon. This is because he thought that if Ye-eun got into a fight with Mi-yeon because of him, Jin-seok’s situation would become even more difficult.

“No matter how much you presume, I don’t think you should treat her precious little brother like that.”
“But, I think my sister has a problem too… If Ye-eun fights with me because of me…”
“I don’t mean to fight. Phew. But if Jinseok is in trouble, there’s nothing we can do.”

When Ye-eun saw Jin-seok’s troubled expression, he stopped thinking about saying a word to Mi-yeon. Ye-eun also wanted to avoid causing Jin-seok more trouble. However, he still had a strong desire to comfort Jinseok by doing something for him.

“…Then, would you like to come to my house tonight? Let’s have dinner together.”
“Yes?”

Ye-eun’s proposal was a very unexpected situation for Jin-seok. He suddenly received an invitation to dinner from Ye-eun. Of course, Jinseok often had meals with Yeeun, but it was mainly as colleagues when Miyeon or Serin were around, and this was the first time he was invited to dinner.

“Ugh. Eating dinner alone is lonely and difficult, right? So, Ye-eun will cook dinner tonight. I’m happy to have someone I can eat with.”
“Yes, yes.”

The sudden invitation to dinner did not have any particular romantic significance to Ye-eun. Ye-eun thinks that Jin-seok will feel lonely because he will not be able to have dinner with Mi-yeon, so he thought that he would eat with Jin-seok in Mi-yeon’s place.

(Ye-eun… I guess she just invited me to dinner without any special meaning.)

In fact, he did it because he thought of Jinseok as his younger brother and as his family. Of course, Jin-seok, who felt embarrassed at first, also realized that Ye-eun thought of him as her family. In particular, Ye-eun’s innocent smile felt warm to Jin-seok.

“Yes. Thank you, Sister Ye-eun.”
“Okay. I’m looking forward to dinner tonight. I’ll cook hard.”

Jinseok gratefully accepted Yeeun’s invitation. Ye-eun smiled brightly at Jin-seok and declared that he would prepare dinner.

That evening, Miyeon went somewhere without telling Jinseok, and Jinseok was alone in his room. Then, Ye-eun received a call asking her to come over for dinner, and Jin-seok went to Ye-eun’s house as promised. Since we lived in the same apartment building, it wasn’t that far away.

(I think I should tell Ye-eun and her older sister about the time she was hugging Jin-seok.)

But as it happened, Serin was also visiting Ye-eun’s house at that time. Serin happened to see Ye-eun hugging Jin-seok in the break room, and he thought of asking Ye-eun what happened. Serin was probably very worried, but she had no choice but to ask Ye-eun the truth.

(What should I say to Ye-eun? What will Ye-eun respond?)

Serin approached Ye-eun’s apartment door, but she was so worried about what to say to Ye-eun that she could not ring her bell for a long time. Serine, who had a weak personality, could not easily discuss such an important issue.

Jeopuk- Jeopuk-
(Oh?! Who’s coming?)

As Serene was contemplating her troubles, she suddenly heard the sound of her footsteps. Serin thought someone was approaching, so she unknowingly hid herself in the darkness next to the hallway. Because Serin was particularly small, he was able to hide easily in small spaces.

(Do I need to hide…? It’s not a place I shouldn’t come to…)

Although she inadvertently hid, Serin had complicated feelings. He was so scared that he hid even though he didn’t really need to. Serin, who was curious to see who was there, peeked his head out and saw an unexpected sight.

(Isn’t it Jinseok? Why is Yeeun at her sister’s house during dinner time?)

It was Jin-seok who came to Ye-eun’s house. Jinseok came to visit after receiving a call from Yeeun that dinner was ready. By coincidence, Se-rin witnessed Jin-seok coming to Ye-eun’s house for dinner.

“Sister Ye-eun. I’m here.”
“Jinseok. You’re here.”

And, Serin saw Ye-eun welcoming Jin-seok happily. It was truly a situation where several strange coincidences happened.
