Chapter 223 – Episode 223

The house I returned to after taking Yoon Su-ah to her maid café.
A feeling of coolness that I had felt for some reason from the moment I grabbed the handle of her door tickled the back of her neck.
Why is the atmosphere like this?

Ohana was wrinkled in the corner, muttering ‘I’m a stupid idiot’ over a hundred times… Well, honestly, I think that’s possible.

Because today was the day to take the level 2 computer literacy test.

No matter who you are, you feel nervous when you visit the exam center for the first time. Should I say that there is a unique pressure and burden that comes from comparing with others? When I was in elementary school and took the Level 5 Chinese Character Proficiency Test for the first time, I was a little scared. She was probably less fortunate because her mother followed her.
To be honest, even on the TEPS test she took when she was in high school, she felt a chill in her stomach when she saw a kid sitting right next to her, no older than 10 years old, holding out her passport.
I often feel it every time.

There are too many people in the world who are good at studying or are smart.

‘It must have fallen.’

More than anything, this was probably the most shocking.

Comparison with others, blah, blah, pressure in the exam room, blah, blah. This is like a moment of wind passing by.

In fact, the human mind is somehow capable of turning a positive circuit as long as the results are good.

But, looking at that reaction.

I will know that I failed without having to check the result tomorrow.

‘Regardless of the fact that Hana is my younger sister, if you look at it from an objective perspective. In fact, there is no child as stupid as Hana.’

Oh Hanam’s cool-headed analysis was brutally accurate.

No matter what field it is, it is possible to cover it to some extent with effort. However, innate talent definitely existed. Just as there is such a thing as a natural study mind.

‘In my opinion, Ohana is not a talent worth studying.’

He should be a celebrity…

Whether you act, sing, or dance in front of people. She was the type of person who, if she oriented herself in that direction, her study skills would improve on their own. One of the biggest characteristics of people without a study mind is that they don’t find fun or interest in studying.

Pervert feels like your muscles are delicious while working out, or you feel catharsis when you hit something right while solving a math problem… No, like there are people. The process will become easier if you have some fun.

In that sense, Ohana is a person who should become a real celebrity.

[…]

Quiet.

Honestly, at this point, I thought she would come up with a quest related to Ohana, like when she recommended her web novel to Aebom Han.
She was so quiet, as if she wasn’t even dreaming about that yet.

‘Am I too conscious of the quest?’

That is definitely true.

The ‘in-grade skill’ that she usually activates at will didn’t show the message [Celebrity, SS] Twice over Ohana’s head for no reason.

‘Maybe the SS grade isn’t that high?’

There’s a strange level on top of it.

There is a K above SS, and above K there is a grade like M…

I shook my head.

‘Probably not.’

Didn’t you see Han Ae-bom’s talent for management flashing above her head before? Even back then, I think it was around the SS level. In fact, considering that Han Ae-bom’s abilities were at that level, SS was rated very high.

‘Become a celebrity, Hanaya.’

‘How about a singer?’

‘It’s okay to start becoming an idol now. She’s 22, it’s not too late. I see that some people start at age 28.’

Various speech bubbles appeared above my head.

I couldn’t say anything out loud.

In fact, regardless of the quest, if there was anything Ohana needed now, Ohanam would have already done it. Regardless of means or methods.

‘As long as that bastard has good results, and she is willing to take that responsibility. Because you’re the bastard who will push me over with a car right in front of Ohana.’

Although it has shown many different sides recently, I will never forget it.

What did that bastard do to Ohana?

Yes, if you just look at the results, it might have worked out well.

In my opinion, if a girl like Ohana lives her life as she pleases without knowing the horrors of the world, unless she is lucky and hits the jackpot, I don’t think her future will be all that bright.
But, when it comes to living her life, results aren’t everything, right?
… Isn’t it? Are results everything?

Damn it. My head hurts. It’s not a question of which came first, the egg or the chicken…

‘Well, even if we leave the Ohana issue aside for now.’

Why is that person like that?

I tilted my head as I looked at Han Ae-bom lying down on the blanket.

Some people may think this way. What’s so strange about lying down during lunch?

That’s true, if the ones lying over there were Yun Suana or Ohana.

The problem was that the person lying there right now was Han Ae-bom. I’ve been living with Han Ae-bom for almost half a year, and this is the first time I’ve seen her lying blankly like that at this hour.

‘Have I suddenly experienced burnout?’

Recently, I’ve been having fun writing web novels, so I’ve been working particularly hard on them.

It didn’t seem like I was in any pain, so the only suspicion I had was burnout.

‘I need to know something to even ask.’

What would you do if you casually said, ‘Aren’t you writing a novel today?’ And got hurt or even stressed out?

‘Aren’t you going to be hurt?’

It wasn’t anyone else, it was Han Ae Bom.

I didn’t think that person would be swayed by other people’s words. She is always confident, and her opinion is clear.

‘Anyway, in this atmosphere, I am on a three-month contract starting next week. Since I got a job, should we have a party to celebrate? How do you say that?’

I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe.

It’s not a house with a separate room. It was even more so because we were all staying in one room. I thought I was going to get depressed at this rate, but Ohana suddenly got up.

“Oppa, let’s go smoke a cigarette.”

“Uh? Uh, okay.”

In times like these, there’s no better excuse than a cigarette.

He woke up with a brighter complexion, and Han Ae-bom, who had been lying down, also got up together.

Then she said something shocking.

“Can I smoke one too?”

At that moment, Ohana asked in a worried voice, as if asking when she had been depressed.

“Sister, what’s going on?”

* * *

As a result, Han Ae-bom did not come down to smoke.

This was possible because Ohana strongly appealed to him not to touch her because she was going to quit smoking again starting today.

We talked while puffing on our last cigarette to quit smoking for the second time.

“What is going on? “It’s the first time I’ve seen Aebom, not anyone else, look so weak.”

“So are you really okay?”

I gently stroked Ohana’s swollen eyes with my index finger and asked.

I think I even cried a little.

“Well, I’m fine. This is what I felt today. Even though I want to remember something for a long time, I can’t. “You’ll forget it after a few more nights of sleep?”

That’s right.

“The only thing that’s embarrassing today is that I’m not even an elementary school student and I cried a lot when I left the exam room. She said she didn’t know what was going on when an old woman was passing by, but she told her to buy a coffee and tried to give her a 5,000 won bill. Hmm.”

She cried so desperately that an old woman passing by would have done so.

“It was hard.”

“You didn’t have any trouble, brother.”

“Huh?”

“Today, I realized a lot of things while taking the test with people other than myself.”

“…”

“I thought I had lived through hardships that were incomparable to other people. It wasn’t. “Everyone besides me suffered and lived hard.”

Ohana chuckles.

“Should I say that I understand why people use the word brave when they are ignorant? I guess I was looking at the world too foolishly. Because I don’t know anything. I can do anything I put my mind to, and Ohana is a great person. I am different… Black. So, I thought, huh…”

I looked blankly at Ohana who started crying.

Enlightenment really seems to come to you without you even realizing it. Not even a day. I wondered if a child could become so adult in just a few hours.

I was a little proud of this change in her, and a little disappointed.

On the other hand, I also realized that this is absolutely not something that someone else can force me to give. In the end, this type of enlightenment was something that she finally achieved after experiencing it with her body, struggling with her head, and suffering with her mind.

“Great job. “I had a hard time.”

“Uuuuu… I guess I’m a fool, brother. I must be really stupid. This is the first time in my life that I have been so alone. “Huhhh.”

Unable to say no, she quietly patted her on the back.

[The warm hug skill heals the other person’s mind and heart.]

Oh, you also had this skill?

Has the warm hug skill been activated? Ohana calmed down quickly, and at the same time, she snuggled into my arms a little more and rubbed her face.

“Hehe, warm your arms…”

“I also like the smell and softness of your body.”

“Shall we have sex, brother?”

“Good.”

Ohana, who kissed me, looked at me with her passionate eyes and shook her head.

“No. Right now, I think it would be better to take care of her baby girl first rather than me. “I saw it earlier, and it looked like it was in a really bad state.”

In a way, isn’t this possible because we have become more mature? If it were Ohana when I didn’t know her, I don’t think she would have made any concessions.

“Are you going to be okay?”

“Well, I can do it without any worries, even in front of everyone. Aebom secretly doesn’t enjoy it properly. When Su-ah is not around, the two of us spend some quality time together. “I’m going to take a walk around here to organize my thoughts.”

“Okay.”

After she nodded, I called out to Ohana, who was slowly walking away.

“It’s one!”

“Yes?”

“You still have a computer… Are you going to keep challenging yourself?”

“Of course! If you’re going to give up after failing once, you haven’t even started! Woo, don’t leave me alone! “Just wait and see!”

“OK got it! Fighting!”

“Wooyaho!”

I had to feel conflicting feelings as I watched Ohana answer energetically.

In some ways, I’m proud of my attitude of not giving up easily, but on the other hand, I’m afraid that I’ll get hurt like I did today by taking a path that doesn’t suit me.

‘Actually, being hurt is not meaningless.’

Ohana grew up a level because she was hurt and shocked.

It’s just as Oh Hanam said.

It would be best if it could be resolved just by doing it well, but is that easier said than done? In particular, her Ohana type was a style that was recognized through her body rather than her head.

‘Do you finally understand me? I don’t feel bad.’

I screamed at the auditory hallucination of Oh Hanam in my ears. Sincerely.

“Ouch, get out!”

That bastard is a psychopath. That bastard is a sociopath.

After repeating it several times, she finally found peace of mind. Come to your senses. Falling in love with that bastard could have been the biggest mistake of my life.

I thought about it for no reason and was shocked, so I shook my head and went back to my studio.

And, before I could even speak, Han Ae-bom was hugged by me.

“Hyeonwoo, can you give me a hug?”

It was a very attractive request, but at the same time, I thought it was an uncharacteristic request from Hanaebom.

In particular, the melancholy in his voice was unfamiliar.
