Chapter 118 – Brother in the Morning

After spending the first night with Sua.
I returned home early in the morning before sunrise.
I left a simple note saying that I would go back first.

It’s a pity that I couldn’t say goodbye when I woke up,
Because I couldn’t live with the misunderstanding (?) That I came in after staying out.
I think Sua will understand.

I quietly returned home and greeted the morning.

And today is my day off.
I’m going to spend the whole day at home with my mom!
I thought

“Sorry. Mom, I have a cosmetic commercial shoot today…”

At breakfast, my mother said so.
Unbelievable!

Unlike me, who just takes a day off without filming a drama,
Her mom’s job wasn’t just filming dramas.

That’s right, of course.
She is a top-notch actress in the industry.

“Sorry for not telling you earlier. Instead, I’ll be back early in the evening…”
“It’s work, but what is there to be sorry about? Take a good picture, Mom.”

There’s no reason I’m not even a 6 year old and her mom is taking care of her all day.
Even though I knew that, I was left with as much regret as I expected.

“Joy. Like Mama Boy.”

Ugh
I have nothing to say in return.
Because it’s Mama Boy herself.

“Brother, then can you take a video with me today?”
“Video? What do you post on social media?”
“Huh. You said you were okay with Se-ah? Can’t it? ‘I will serve you well.'”

The latter part was whispered so that my mother or sister could not hear.

Hmm.
I’m fine, of course.
I haven’t asked the agency yet.

Are you okay?
Can’t you just say you didn’t know if there’s a problem after filming it?
… No I’m a pro now
You have to follow the proper procedure.

“I’ll ask the agency first.”
“Huh.”

I sent a text message to the contact phone number I saved when signing the contract.
In less than a minute, the OK reply came back.

“Now I have to raise awareness even a little bit.”

That was the position of our agency.
After all, it was a plate that I, who was unknown, had to ask for.

“Ah. They said it happened.”
“Huh! Then I’ll eat and go to my brother’s room!”

Seeing that he wants to take another picture, the reaction must have been good in his own way, right?
I’m afraid of the comments, so I can’t confirm it.
Still, I’d be glad if it helped Miso.

“Hey. After Jinseon.”
“Huh?”

My sister was not in a good mood for some reason.
I’m quietly staring at this.

Unstable.
What is the problem?
… Could it be that he only played with Miso?

“Sister. After filming the video, can I go to my sister’s room to play?”
“Joy. Like that.”

My sister replied as if she wasn’t interested.
However, the atmosphere had softened considerably.

Phew. Thank god.
Because I didn’t make the wrong choice.

After dinner, in my room.

“Braided!”

The smile came in a school uniform.

“Smile, you…”
“This concept is a school uniform! The title of the song is ‘School Love’!”

Miso said, spinning around in her place.
The wind lifted the hem of her skirt, revealing her underpants.

“School love?”

It was also the latest song.
But that’s why it’s a school uniform concept.
Doesn’t the women’s group say anything?

“It’s just singing about students’ pure love! I also filmed a school violence prevention campaign!”

Is it?
Are you okay then?
The skirt is too short…
Even the chest stands out like that…
My eyes keep going towards it.

“Is that your real smile, your school uniform?”
“Is it real? It’s a pity, but it was a cosplay!”

I have nothing to regret…
But didn’t the smile school uniform look like this?
Even the name tag says Jin Miso.

“All the members have to match in the same school uniform, so I can’t wear real school uniforms. Because every school is different.”
“I guess so.”

That means it’s not a real school uniform.
It’s just ‘clothes that look like school uniforms’.
Hmm.
… But who do you keep making excuses for?

“By the way, oppa, have you heard this song?”
“Huh. Once.”
“Once? So what? Aren’t you bad at playing the piano?”
“If you listen to it three times, you can hit it.”
“Oh oh! Brother genius! Then let’s practice and listen together!”
“Huh.”

School love.
It is a charming song with lively melodies, cute dances and fresh lyrics.
As the title suggests, it is the story of first love in school.

I sat side by side with a smile on the piano chair and watched the video on my smartphone.

『I keep worrying about you sitting next to me~♬』

After a short interlude, the song goes right into it.

The dance wasn’t that intense, but it had its own way.
In the middle, there is a rap part sung by A and a high-pitched part sung by Jin.
And since it is a song sung alternately by four people, there is no break.
… You can sing this, smile alone, right?

“How are you, brother? Do you think you can hit it?”
“Uh… I’m fine, but can you really sing all by yourself?”
“Of course! I’m serious now too! I will reveal my hidden power! To get back the number of views stolen by Jini!”
“Okay…”

Oppa always cheers for a smile.
Go for it.

“Still, the rap part is a problem. If you even sing rap, there is no time to catch your breath.”
“Sure.”

It’s not just rapping, it’s because the song goes right back and forth.
It was virtually impossible to sing while dancing alone.
As soon as the rap ended, it was obvious that I would pant at the beginning of the song.

“Then should I do the rap part?”
“Uh? Brother?”
“Huh. Still, it’s a bit like I’m singing, isn’t it? I wonder if the fans hate it.”
“No! It’s not like that, oppa, can you rap?”

Can you do it?
Isn’t it enough just to match the pronunciation and rhythm?

The lyrics are already out, and there is also a demonstration video sung by A.
It’s a song aimed at students, so it’s not difficult.
I guess you just have to follow along.

“Hmm. Could I do it? I can’t do it on a professional level.”
“Then show me once!”
“Is that so?”

“Hmmmm.”

I sang along to A’s rap part while playing the piano accompaniment.

『From the first time I saw you, you hunt, my heart was captured, my heart
But why do you treat me coldly? Why can’t you be honest?
I want to get closer to you, I want to be with you more
If you call my name–“

“And! Brother! What is your voice?!”
“Voice? Weird?”
“No! At all! It was so cool! It was as cool as Ei!”

As much as
The fuss is also serious.

“Ah. I’ll take a picture of it now.”
“For what? I’m going to do it properly anyway.”
“It’s a pity though. If no one has seen it.”
“Why is no one here? I see a smile It’s enough for me to just look at your smile.”
“Brother…”

A smile with eyes closed and waiting for a kiss.

What?
Why is the atmosphere like this again?
Smiles and kisses are always welcome.

“Chuu. Huh…”

A little kiss and fall.

“Smile. Shall we take a video first?”
“Little bit more…”

Unable to overcome the childishness of her smile, she continued to kiss her for about five minutes.
She didn’t touch her body because she didn’t want to catch fire by mistake.
She tried her best. She did her best

As he parted her lips, the smile turned her head shyly.
She did when they kissed, and the reaction of her smile seemed somehow more innocent.

It’s strange.
That smile is cute too.
Is it because I’m wearing something similar to a school uniform?
Maybe she even went back to her student days.

“Um, then oppa, shall we match our motions?”

We talk about the smile that has returned to normal and her video.

“Here, ‘the moment our eyes meet’, this is where we make eye contact with oppa.”
“Yep. Okay.”

Set a simple sum according to the lyrics.
It was a simple movement that could be performed while playing the piano.

“But oppa, you are surprisingly motivated. I thought you’d hate this.”
“I heard that I could be of help to Miso, but of course I am motivated. Anything I can help with, tell me.”

Of course, there are things that help with a smile, too.
It would be a lie if she said that she was not selfless that she would help promote the drama as well.
Still, there’s no need to talk like that to a smile.

“Brother…”

Smile closed her eyes again.

What.
Why is the atmosphere like this again?
Smiles and kisses are always welcome.
Can I take a picture today?

… Again 5 minutes later.

“Now, let’s get real! One two, start.”

The camera is rolling
I play the piano

『I keep worrying about you sitting next to me~♬』

Upbeat and cute melody.
This might be the best song for a bouncing smile.

『The moment our eyes met!』
『I fell in love with you~♬』
『What shall I do? Should I say I like it?』

Oh my god.
It was as if the prettiest child in every school, in fact, was saying that he liked me.
When I saw her smile, that image came to mind.

The smile came naturally without any intention.
She is also a genius idol.
Sae-ah, who was perfectly polished, is also great, but I thought I could understand why it didn’t work for our Miso.

『Ever since I first saw you, you hunt
My heart has been captured, my heart』

After the song of the smile, my rap part comes in.
Come to think of it, this rap part is from the point of view of a boy who is in unrequited love.

A, who is in charge of rapping in Spring, originally had the image of a prince.
She may have taken on the male part naturally.
Because A has more female fans than male fans.

『But why are you treating me coldly?
Why the hell can’t you be honest?”

The truth is that while they like each other, neither of them can be honest.
A fresh love story that anyone would have experienced in school days.

Miso and I went back to that time and sang together.

Smile dancing next to me and me rapping while playing the piano.
It reminded me of playing the piano and singing together when we were young.
Happy childhood.
And I’m still happy
