”Wait, let h I told him, my brother seemed to only realize it was empty when he tried to take a sip because he fumbled as he placed it back on the tray His honest face was filled with confusion I felt sorry
Well, it wasn't like it was unexpected He had expected that his brother, who had thrown his private life away for work for the past few years, had finally found hi the situation, it was difficult to tell whether this wasfor relationshi+p advice
I laughed bitterly and said,
”Sorry for giving you a headache You were the only one I could talk to about this I did think about receiving counselling, but it's a bit difficult when your face is known to the public”
”There's no need to be sorry This is what family is for”
My brother waved his hand
”First, let's assu”
His voice, which becaain
”Let's assu the public eye, your careers, the co else There's no chance you'll break up nor is there a chance your great relationshi+p orsen If you want, you can even get reat assumption”
”That's just on the personal level Instead, Ms Songha doesn't ith you any longer and works with sooes to a different company What do you think?”
What did I think?
If soraphy, strove for the saot her on the red carpet?
”I don't think I can allow that”
My voice was cold
I wished it would stop here, but ha wants to do that?”
A black scarf fluttered A woman sloalked down a hallway
The floor was covered in marble tiles, and the white walls had faint specks here and there There was also a here the leisurely sun bea, hallway, only the woman seemed different
”Who is she? Did a woman like her live on our floor?”
”I've never seen her since I'vecouple acted like they had accidentally lanced at her
She wore a t-shi+rt, jeans, and black boots While her clothes seemed normal, she herself was far frolasses and wore a baseball cap on her head She covered her nose to her neck with the out-of-season scarf Her hair shook under her scarf every step she took She was a very suspicious yet interesting woman
When the couple failed their passcode for the third time, the woman stopped a few doors away from them Her s the doorbell Soon, the woaze was fixed on the shut door
”That unit, it's the one with a lot of daughters, right? Is she one of them?”
”I don't know I did hear a bit frohters a lot The first one graduated fro for a job I think she said her second daughter was in the arts Her fourth was in the varsity judo tea”
”Then what about the third?”
At her husband's question, she tilted her head
”I don't know about the third I think she said she was in the states?”
Lee Songha let out a stuffy breath She took off her hat and sunglasses and undid her cu room There was a vase with sunflowers The fabric sofa with cute little cushi+ons was so old that its edges were frayed
Fraha stared at the photos
At the top was a photo of the four sisters in a group hug when the youngest was only 100 days old Below that were three daughters in school uniforraduation photo, the second daughter receiving an award at a drawing contest, as well as a photo of the fourth daughter holding aa large photo of the family of five
The photo looked peaceful and natural Lee Songha seemed different even here
”Is it hot outside?”
A entle eye wrinkles asked She was the stereotypical 'ha's mother She had neatly sliced Korean ha received the fork her mother handed her and asked,
”When did you take a family photo?”
”Oh, that was to co to tell you about it, but you're so busy Also, if we have a photo of you in the living roo to ood for celebrities if their families show off like that”
”Really?”
”Then they start a business selling their child's name, use the money they earn and cause problems Those people show up on the news every once in a while I won't do so so uncultured and uneducated”
Herlike this all for you so…”
”I get it It looks good, the photo”
Lee Songha trailed off and turned her gaze Her oldest sister opened her door and walked out while brushi+ng her bed hair Her face very much resembled her mother She tapped her neck a couple of ti over
”I ondering if you arrived What's the occasion? Is today soot a break”
”You have ti work I saw an article that you earned 10 billion won? Celebrities really are nice How many houses can you buy with that? I probably can't earn that even if I workcorporation”
Her oldest sister exclaiha's shoulder
Her mother joined in,
”But celebrities have their peak Songha, you're properly ht?”
”My coer”
”Don't spend your money like water and save it Celebrities are only celebrities when they have work When they don't, they're jobless You should listen to your sister and earn a lot while you can I still think you should just focus on acting I should talk with your CEO on… Let's talk about this later”
Her hter
At some point, her oldest sister sat down on the sofa and said,
”I saw Neptune's residential life on Making Fil”
”Did it look like I was acting?”
”Didn't the staff give you lines? You talked twice as much as you do at home You should talk more at home Ah, also, you ate a ton over there too You used to write your na that, her 's feet, fried chicken, I was e that stuff Your sisters don't do that, so why do you have such a big appetite? People will think that your parents starved you”
”We're the ones who starved She received a lot to eat Because she's pretty”
”You weren't like that when you were young Maybe your eating habits worsened when you went to Aood if you do it ood if you have too reedy”
The conversation caha placed her fork down on the plate She hadn't eaten a single piece of melon Just then, the front door opened with the sound of the door unlocking
'Hey, hey, hey, wait! Stay out here for a bit We have a guest!”
Her youngest sister, as in university, pushed her friends back out Her friends, who also wore judo uniforms, were pushed out the door She quickly closed the door and looked at Lee Songha ide eyes
”You surprised uest?”
Lee Songha asked An aard silence ha didn't wait for their answer and walked to the front door She then put her boots on Her youngest sister, whose eyes grew even wider, hastily grabbed Lee Songha's ar out like that? My friends don't know you're uest, not your sister”
Lee Songha spoke in an even tone then grabbed the door handle
”Songha!”
Her ht become a national athlete Do you think reporters will leave her alone when they find out she's your sister? How sorry do you think she'll be to her colleagues if articles show up saying that she's your sister and she receives the public's attention? It won't be good for you too As I said, we are acting like this for yo-”
”I get it, so stop”
Lee Songha cut her off She then put on her sunglasses and hat and covered herself with the scarf Hercovered her face, Lee Songha opened the door When the gazes of the waiting students fell on her, she raised her scarf up higher
She got on the elevator and pressed the button to the ground floor The tips of her heavy boots tapped the floor The people who got on from the lower floors were first surprised when they saw her and surprised again at her dark, glooha walked out as soon as the elevator doors opened She slowed her steps once she was out of the aparto She suddenly fumbled in her pocket and took out her phone There were a few unread roup chat
As expected, the firstthat she needed to spend her break with her fa, whose eyes were red, perhaps fro a feast
Below that were short replies froone to a sushi+ place with her father and was day drinking, while LJ catching up with her old friends at a bar
Lee Songha put her fingers on the reply section before hesitating when her phone rang
Her slow steps colasses a little She then checked the caller once ht halo
”Yes, oppa”
She placed her phone to her ear, and she walked cheerfully like she was tapdancing
”Were you waiting like that?”
”There were a lot of people I can't get discovered”
Quickly getting in the passenger's seat, Lee Songha took off her disguise
Her face looked bright My heart dropped, worried soht have happened I ca she went to visit her faging her knees Like soht until inwardly clicking ue Owner? Puppy?
damn it To make that sort of comparison I really was crazy
I looked to ood love co with large cookies She offered one to ry? Did you not eat at hoo eat I haven't eaten yet”
To be honest, I had tls of rice at my brother's, but I could probably fit another bowl I mean I skipped soabout a restaurant where we could eat in peace when Lee Songha packed her partly eaten cookie back in the bag
She then cautiously asked,
”Oppa, does it look greedy when I eat a lot?”
”No, who the heck said that nonsense? You look good when you eat”
So soha's family, who I had seen from a distance Her relationshi+p with her family wasn't so bad that it would be article-worthy, but it wasn't affectionate either
Lee Songha looked down at the cookie as she spoke,
”I have a lot of sisters, both older and younger thanSomeone would always take it or it would disappear That's why I like eating It's mine once I s it It's not like they can slice open ha looked at ht this whenever I saw you I hoped no one took you away, but because you're a human, I can't eat you It made me nervous, so I think I became weird… You're not an object”
She closed then opened her eyes and said with resolve,
”I' to work hard until I'ether every day, I think it'll be great if you caether occasionally Also, once I become normal, likethe rest of her sentence
Until you becoaze on the windshi+eld and looked inwardly The snake, which had been excitedly shedding its skin, stopped halfway It looked atTo shed ha who needed to work hard to becoha, about your ten-year plan”
”Pardon?”
”No, did you say it was a five-year plan? The plan you mentioned”
As if she was taken aback by ha stuttered as she replied,
”It-it's a five-year plan Since two years have passed, three years now?”
Three years, huh?
”Three years Let's wait until then”

Let's wait until then
Lee Songha made the sweetest smile when she heard my words
I buried the seed which I shared with Lee Songha So that, if an environ stomped on or withered, it would sprout
Then I turned around and finally stepped forward
”Shouldn't you take so fallen asleep against the whiteboard, I jolted awake It was the chief of Blackout His gaze alternated between the packed schedule on the whiteboard and ue
”It looks like you've been infected with Hyunjo's dark circles? The Team 3 Leader knows a lot about et you so”
”I'm fine”
”Why? Do you have a weak stomach? You look like the type who can eat snake raw”
”I'm more delicate than I look Rather than the herbal tonic, please introduce er if you know one Ours are exhausted We don't even have the time to recruit and train a new one”
I looked at the schedule while rolling ht my eye the most was Pretty Girls They properly started their activities with IBC's raph signing events, press interviews, guest appearances on radio and TV shows, and events
Both the Pretty Girls goldfish and Chief Lee Taeshi+n were getting used to their day starting and ending early in theThey were so happy that they should be able to work for a good while
Neptune had it worse They had a schedule in Sanga, an event in Busan at noon, and a perforht Not only did they have a busy schedule, but they also had to prepare for their official albuard
There was nothing ha, who had her advertisement schedule on top of all that
The ones with theabout his next project, and Kih it wasn't the best for a celebrity to be too free, if Nam Joyoon had a busy schedule as well, our tea around with IVs
”I do know an experienced road ht now”
The Blackout chief said quietly
