Chapter 153 - Sugar & Spice 2: Attack of the Innocent Seductress (1/2)

”WAAAAAAAAAAA… AHA... HAHAWAAAAAAAAAAAAA…”

Sohyang watched her big sister bawl over with a weary expression on her face as she leaned over, her elbow propped on the table, her chin in her palm. When her sister was being such a crybaby, there was no stopping her— and Jisoo had been crying her heart out for a good hour over ice cream and cake which her sister brought with her when she barged in her apartment earlier.

When it seemed Jisoo was about to choke or something, Sohyang pushed the box of tissue towards her and sighed.

”Big Sis, you told me earlier you need my help. How can I help you when you won't stop wailing like an ambulance?”

With this, she was a little relieved that Jisoo finally stopped caterwauling and started to stifle her sobs.

Thank God, Sohyang thought as she tapped her ear. Her eardrums hurt earlier from too much noise.

”Now what's the problem?” she asked and she almost laughed at how her sister's nostrils flared as she controlled her crying. In all actuality, she felt like cuddling her sister, but she knew that wouldn't help, and she already promised herself not to baby her older sister anymore.

The elder sister was after all already happily married to the love of her life— and that same reason also made her wonder what happened.

”Yushin…Yushin's getting tired of me…” Jisoo said in a whisper that Sohyang thought she just imagined it.

”Excuse me?” the younger asked and her older sister repeated it sorrowfully.

”But how? Why?” Sohyang couldn't believe it. She had seen how besotted Jisoo's husband was with her sister since they were kids, and so this information came as a shock to her.

”He said… He said I'm too timid and quiet,” Jisoo replied, her lips trembling as she did, fresh tears spilling from her eyes.

Eh? Sohyang couldn't understand. Wasn't her sister's sweet, shy nature the one responsible for making the people's Prince Charming falling on his knees in love?

”H-he s-s-said t-that if I d-don't change, h-he'd rep-p-place me. H-he s-said…h-he said…my bun's ugly… Sohyang, c-can you t-take a l-look at it?” Jisoo continued as she stood up and reached for her zipper to show her what's inside her pȧntɨės, and Sohyang looked at her sister like she'd gone insane.

”I don't need to see that thank-you-very-much,” she protested as she stood up and pushed her crazy sister back to her seat.

She had her own woman bun, there's no need for her to check on someone else's even if it was her sister's.

”I-I think it's b-because it's a l-little h-hairy now,” Jisoo sobbed as she sat and Sohyang rolled her eyes heavenwards.

She had no idea what's going on, and she really didn't believe that crazy in love brother-in-law of hers would actually get tired of her sister. But, seeing as Jisoo's really distraught, and it's a day before her birthday too, she'd try giving her sibling an advice. Maybe Yushin was just asking for her sister to lessen her sweetness and add some spice to their relationship by learning how to speak up or take over once in a while.

”If it's like that why not try waxing it or shaving it?” the younger suggested and Jisoo pouted but she looked thoughtful so maybe she was considering it. ”What else did Yushin say you need to change?” she inquired and Jisoo's face crumpled again.

”He s-said I'm t-timid…” the older one said and Sohyang sighed.

”Well, at least that's easy to solve,” she stated and she watched her sister's eyes widened on her.

”H-how?”

=====

Yushin was smiling as he drove home. Next to him was the cage where the white ċȯċkatoo eyed him.

”Now, when I hand you to my wife, you behave okay?” he told the bird which inclined its head as if listening. ”And try to learn how to talk soon,” he added as he imagined his sweet wife's smiling face. ”Learn how to say 'I am Sugar' soon. It's your name, don't forget it,” he continued as he reached home.

Parking the car took several minutes.

”I am Sugar. I am Sugar,” he repeated with a chuckle as he took the cage and got out. He didn't feel bad about purchasing the animal anymore as Jimin said it took weeks before ċȯċkatoos start repeating sounds.

Whistling, Yushin marched up the steps to their front door. He was wondering how his wife was doing as he reached for the door knob when the door itself suddenly opened.

”Hi sweetheart…”

His wife, his beautiful sweet wife stood in front of him wearing that sweet, sweet smile of hers, and for a moment Yushin thought he got the wrong house. Jisoo who was usually shy and gentle looked like an ultra-aggressive seductress today— he could almost hear her purr.

She was so radiant, wearing a pristine white shirt with a V neck so deep her ċhėst showed. The fabric was also very thin that her nɨppŀės were almost visible— and did he mention that they were erect?
