Chapter 75 – A Request for a Smile, Part 2

“Brother! Can I play the piano again this afternoon?”

Before going to work in the morning, a smile spoke to me as if it were difficult to speak.

“Like last time? Shall I post it on social media again?”
“Huh… Can’t we?”

Smile looked up at me with her apologetic eyes.
You don’t have to be so burdened.

The video she posted on her official SNS last time was quite well received.
Even though she was filmed with a cell phone camera without any decent sound equipment.
Miso was also wearing casual clothes, and the natural appearance of a popular idol might have worked for her.

Of course, there were some strange comments, but they didn’t bother me like before.
After that incident, I seem to have softened my heart considerably.
Could this be shock therapy?

“What’s not going to happen? Just tell me the song in advance. Let me practice.”
“Thank you brother! I’ll give you good service when I’m done!”

Miso cups her hands and pretends to rub them up and down her.
I knew what I was rubbing without even saying it.

“You don’t have to do the same service as last time.”

It’s not that I want to receive the service of a smile.
Because it’s true! Especially the same service as last time!
This is something I can do as an older brother!

The smile went out, and I listened to the song she requested.
The requested songs were NeverLove and Breeze, two songs.

Never Love is the greatest hit song of Spring, a group of misones.
Of course, I’ve heard it a lot, so I know it well.

Breeze is a follow-up to the latest song, and it was a song I didn’t know because I hadn’t listened to it properly.

I’m not smart enough to knock out a song I’ve heard once.
I had to listen to it at least 3 times.
The first time I learn the melody, the second time I focus on the lyrics to figure out the meaning of the song, and the third time I think about how to transfer it to the piano.

Never Love is a song like an idol these days, with powerful choreography and fast beats.
As for the content, as the title says, ‘I will never meet a man again!’.

Breeze, on the other hand, is a ballad song that focuses on vocals.
It was a song about a girl’s love as tender as a spring breeze.
It would be nice to flesh this out a bit. Because the vocalist can’t die.

It’s roughly entered in my head, so I’m going to try it out for practice.

Breeze is a slow ballad, so it’s easy to play.
To be honest, I don’t have anything to practice because I just need to set the mood.

I’m more worried about whether Miso will be able to sing this properly than my piano. The song difficulty is no joke.
From the family’s point of view, Mi-so is perfect in both singing and dancing, but it is true that she is being pushed behind by the other members when viewed objectively.

Jin for vocals, A for dance and rap, and Sae Ah as the overall leader.
… Huh? Looking at it like this, isn’t there nothing good about smiling?
No, because the smile is cute though. Idols have both good looks and skills.
That said, it’s hard to say that the other members are inferior in looks compared to their smiles, but…
…
Cheer up Jin Miso!
In my eyes you are the best!

Unlike Breeze, I think it would be better to play Neverlove flashily.
Hmm. Should he go out in a flashy way? Give me some arrangements too.

But if this is the case, do fans hate it for destroying the original song?
So, do you prepare the original song version and the arranged version?

That’s why I tell them to listen to both and upload the better one.
Once you throw it in, Miso’s agency will take care of it for you.

So I prepared meticulously for the shoot in the afternoon.
Last time, it was a sudden shoot, so I improvised without any preparation.
The piano itself has been around for a very long time.

So there were a lot of things I missed.
To be honest, I think it was an embarrassing quality to watch again.
Some people have said so in the comments.

So this time I prepared harder.
Personally, I think the quality has come up to a satisfactory level.

Hmm.
Since it’s a king, should I dress properly?
Because last time it was the same as usual.

At the beginning of this year, I took out the suit my older sister had made for me.
I look in the mirror and get my hair done.
And sit down at the piano.

His skills are amateurish, but from the outside he doesn’t look like a pro.
Heh Looking at it like this, I might be pretty handsome too?
…

Good. The preparation is perfect.
Jump in anytime!

… I did.

“Brother! I’m here!”
“Hello, Brother Smile.”

At the front door, I froze.

The smile brought reinforcements.
1 person besides Miso.
It was gin She is a member of the same group.

Wow! A celebrity came to our house!
I couldn’t help but like it.

“Ah. Yes. Hello. I’m Jin Seon-hu, Miso older brother.”

I greeted stiffly.

“And! Are you wearing a suit?”
“Uh, yes. I want to do the right thing when taking pictures. Strange? Shall I take it off?”
“No! Not weird at all! Just do it!”

She seems to like Smile, so she’s glad.
But…

I slightly turned my eyes to the group member, Jin, who came with a smile.
Jin was looking at me with her twinkling eyes.

“Brother! It looks so cool in real life! Please sign me!”

A reaction like a fan meeting an idol.
Isn’t this the opposite? You are the idol
And in real life, it was the first time I saw someone calling me brother.
Is that a concept?

A small and cute goblin-like image with gorgeously dyed blonde hair.
Despite his appearance, Jin is one of the most talented vocalists among idols.

“Do you think I should get an autograph?”

Even though I broke into a cold sweat at the unexpected visitor, somehow, I exchanged a conversation naturally.
I couldn’t show my embarrassing side to a smiling acquaintance. Even for the face of a smile.
But.

“Smile. Wait for a sec.”

I went to the corner of the living room with a whispered smile.

“Sorry brother. I didn’t say anything and brought it. Jini will also take a video together.”

In that corner, the smile apologized before I could say anything.

“If I tell you in advance, I think oppa will always be nervous. But Jin-i is a really good kid, so you don’t have to worry about it! You can treat me like you would treat me!”
“It’s a smile…”

When did I just treat you?

Still, the heart of the smile is understandable.
If I had told you that I was coming in advance, I would have been restless all day. Maybe I didn’t even practice properly.

Still, I wanted you to tell me.
It’s embarrassing to think that you’re acting like this when you’re alone at home.

“… Okay. I’m just a little surprised But tell me next time.”
“Huh! Instead, I serve——”

I quickly covered my mouth with a smile.

“Shh. Don’t even say that What are you going to do if you get caught?”
“Ah… Huh. Sorry.”

Smile smiled like it was awkward.
What? This reaction?

“… Didn’t you already say that?”
“Oh, isn’t it?”

Smile’s reaction is suspicious.
Did you really say
Is that why Jin came here?
To deal with the trashy brother who messed with her brother?

A bloody wind may blow.
I quietly made up my mind.

“Anyway, be careful. When Jin is around, you can’t show off your face. Got it?”
“Huh… Brother.”

For now, I went back to Jin with a smile.
If you drag it on for too long, you might think it suspicious.

“I’m sorry, brother. You came suddenly.”
“No. I have nothing to treat you to.”
“Let go, brother. Me and Mi-so are soulmates, so you can treat her the same way you treat Mi-so.”

Jin, who smiled brightly and held out her hand, seemed like a really nice kid.
I was a little relieved and held her hand.

“Okay. Then I’ll let you go. Instead, since my older brother is a burden, can I call you oppa?”
“Yes, brother!”

Ugh
Jini was wrapped around her neck.
Idol too. Fan service is great.
If I were Ada, I might have fallen in love with this one shot.

“And. Brother you are really good Do you exercise?”
“Oh, yes, a little.”

… But isn’t that too touching?
Jini put her hand on my shoulder or chest as if it was natural.
If I were Ada, I might have mistaken that he likes me.
And if the position had been reversed, I would have been immediately arrested as a criminal of sexual harassment.

“I told you. My brother is cool.”

He didn’t stop smiling, he just laughed beside him.
It’s a smile Are you okay with touching your brother like this?

“Then, shall we start filming soon? Do you have anything to prepare?”
“Yes, brother. Let’s change our clothes and come back.”
“Okay. When you change, come to my room.”

Miso and Jini whispered into the Miso room.

After seeing the two enter the room, I returned to my room.

Phew.
I was surprised.
I never thought Miso would bring her other members.

It’s been more than five years since Miso debuted with her group, but this was the first time she actually met a member of the group.
Until now, they probably never brought them home because of me.
Because I get nervous when I meet strangers.

But seeing that I was brought in like this, did my symptoms improve a lot even when I saw a smile?
I was nervous when I actually saw Jini, but there were no pathological symptoms like before.
It’s hard to breathe, or it’s painful because the heart beats too much.

I put my hand on my heart.
It was a little bit throbbing, but if a pretty girl like Jin hugged him, anyone would have throbbed.

… Are you really sick?
No. There’s no way it’ll get better so suddenly.
It’s probably a little bit better now.

I’ll ask teacher Yoon Seo-ah at the next regular checkup.
Ugh Teacher Yoon Seo-ah… Thinking about it, I got an erection again…

Phew. Let’s calm down.
Customers are also here, but I can’t show you anything ugly.

But Jini is really short for a smile of the same age.
According to her profile, she is 155 cm tall and weighs 37 kg.
For reference, her real name was Park Soo-jin.

Her profile says she’s 155 cm, but she may be shorter than that.
But how does a person weigh 30 kilos? It’s got all the insides, right?

She thought actress Hwang Soo-ah was also really slender, but Jin-yi went beyond that.
When she held Sua’s hand, she thought, ‘If you squeeze it hard, it might break’, but when she held Jini, she really felt like ‘it might break if you touch it’.
Are you more nervous? Are you afraid it will break?

Smart.
Ah. Come.

“Brother. I’ll go in.”

Miso and Jini enter side by side.
The two were wearing proper stage costumes, not casual clothes.
It is a charismatic outfit made of shiny black leather material.
And a little naughty no, quite a bit.
It’s the first time I’ve seen clothes like this up close. Is it really that erotic?
Miso had her bare legs exposed, and Jini was wearing fishnet stockings.
To be honest, I had nowhere to turn my eyes.

“It’s the bed of the older brother after death!”

Jinyi entered her room and she jumped on my bed.
Compared to the charismatic outfit, what she did was childish.

No… Maybe it’s not because I’m a kid.
Is this all calculated behavior?
Because I’m nervous, to be more friendly and relax.

Indeed. Is this an idol
I envy the overflowing friendliness.
I hope you share some with me too.

Ah. See panties
But those aren’t panties. It was underpants.
Is it okay to wear underwear?

“Me too!”

Then, Miso also jumped into bed.
Smile doesn’t matter
Maybe seeing Jini jump in, she just followed suit.

The two of them laughed and played on my bed.

… It’s a strange feeling anyway.
The idol is lying on the bed in my room.
Mmm. Let’s not have strange imaginations.
It’s going to be a headache if you server in front of Jin.

“You can’t play in bed.”
“Yes~.”

At my words, the two of them got off the bed side by side.
And set the camera.

“Can I take a picture like this?”
“More cameras this way.”

The two people who were joking just a while ago are discussing seriously as if it were a lie.

There is a camera in my room.
Oddly enough, I wasn’t nervous.
When I was younger, I hated taking pictures like that.
In particular, after ‘that incident’ in middle school, it was almost at the level of camera phobia.

Right now, I stop by anyway, and these two are the main ones.
I had that thought, but it was definitely not scary.
What hurts me is not the camera, but the person filming through the camera.
You don’t have to be afraid of the camera itself.
Because the person filming with that camera has ill intentions.

Maybe I’ve grown enough to accept that.

“Huh. That’s it!”

The camera setup seems to be over.

“Elder brother, I’ll go to Breeze first.”
“I’ll try to guess it for practice at first. It’s a rehearsal.”

Smile activated the camera and quickly stood at the designated spot.

I hit the keys
