Chapter 370 – The Ugly Duck #2
@@
“You worked hard today. Go in and get some rest.”
Hearing Jihyeok’s kind words, Stella subdued her simmering anger.
What kind of younger brother in the world gets annoyed that his older sister, who is a singer, takes care of a fan and talks too much in front of that fan?
He knew he was immature, but he never dreamed that he was this crazy.
The long-awaited debut.
He showed his natural skills and even successfully recorded the pre-recording.
A music video will be released in a few hours.
It’s definitely a day to rejoice.
Even when I had a meeting with a fan, I was so overwhelmed that I wondered if this was a dream or real life…
Alex’s accident broke that feeling.
It was all his own fault.
Even if he had been a little more strict with Alex,
If I had asked a little more today, this wouldn’t have happened…
Until now, I’ve been asking too much.
“Get off. I’m going home I know I will die if I leak anywhere.”
Stella said in a cold tone and pushed Alex down as if pushing him away.
She slams the door! I closed it with a noise and apologized to Jihyeok.
“I’m sorry, brother.”
“It’s okay. It worked out well.”
Well solved? Once on the spot, the fan accepted the apology.
He let me take a personal selfie, so I seemed to have relieved my anger well.
But what about Jihyeok? He was certainly going to be reproached for the sins that were covered.
He knows he’s making a fuss.
That’s why, at worst, an article about Jihyeok could come out.
I’m so sorry. It’s to the point where I can’t even look at his face properly.
And thank you. Thank you for sacrificing yourself for yourself and Alex.
She was unable to speak properly.
“Congratulations on her debut.”
At Jihyuk’s words that followed, her lips pouted.
The sincerity comes from that gentle voice.
My brother who is always trustworthy… No, it seems that the man is giving a blessing.
Stella leaned her upper body in front of her and hesitated.
It was because the thought of wanting to hug Jihyeok momentarily ate away at her mind.
Had Jihyeok not been in the driver’s seat, he would have put his arm between his armpits and hugged him tightly.
Why is this? He was very angry until just now, but whenhehears Ji-hyeok’s congratulations, his heart beats in a good way.
“…..”
He likes him with such a huge sense of responsibility that he can’t even look at himself.
I like him for being by my side every day and taking care of me.
Ji-hyeok’s presence as an older brother, father, and furthermore, a man’s presence penetrates deep into his heart and is called his size.
“Don’t stare blankly, drink quince tea and go in.”
He becomes attached to Ji-hyeok, who smiles as if he is staring at him and offers him quince tea.
Unlike Alex, who always shows light words and actions, his desire to rely on Ji-hyeok, who is serious, grows.
Stella, who had unknowingly compared Alex and Ji-hyeok, said in a crawling voice.
“I’m so nervous, I don’t have any energy…”
I really like Ji-hyeok, who understands and opens the lid like Cheol-seok even though he spoke vaguely.
After accepting the quince tea, Stella carefully brought her mouth to the mouth of the bottle.
Then he drank all the quince tea in front of Ji-hyeok, as if his father was checking his homework.
Then Jihyeok reached out and gently stroked Stella’s hair.
Praise for a job well done. The touch is so warm and comfortable.
Stella, unable to look properly into Jihyeok’s black pupils, said.
“Are you coming tomorrow…?”
“It should be. Where else can I go but here?”
“What are you going to do when you get back…?”
“I’m going to clean the inside of the car and go back to rest.”
It was nice to hear that.
It was because the car smelled slightly of Alex’s secret cigarette.
Also, since Cheon Hee-joo had been riding in this place, which could be called her second home, the smell seemed to be mixed with it.
So, cleaning was indispensable. I’m sorry for Jihyeok, who worked hard today.
Stella looked around the corner of the car and wiggled her fingers.
As she poked her fingernails into the palm of her other hand, she didn’t even notice that she was doing this and only nodded her head slowly.
Jihyeok smiled kindly at her and opened her mouth.
“Should I get off now?”
“Ah, yes… See you tomorrow…”
Swallowing a sad heart, Stella slowly got out of the car.
Soon after, the car leaves with a quiet engine sound…
Stella looked behind her until she couldn’t see the car, and then shivered as the cold winter air entered the padding.
The cold wind cools the warm heart.
I am reminded of Alex’s actions that showed me how immature he was.
How much do you mean, if you’re a single person, you show yourself like that in front of your older sister, in front of the agency’s CEO and staff, and in front of the fans?
Stella clenched his fists and headed for her house, vowing that she wouldn’t let it pass for today.
After that, he quickly entered the door lock password and opened the door somewhat excessively.
Rattle!
The door to Alex’s room is open.
I’m lying in bed and using my cell phone, but I feel like I’ve completely forgotten about my job at the broadcasting station, so I get a tantrum.
Stella strode towards Alex with her arms crossed.
“Hey.”
The most bass you can get out.
Alex’s flinching gaze turns to Stella.
“Sorry.”
Alex, who raised his upper body, apologized without hesitation.
Even so, I had no intention of going over.
Those were crocodile tears. Just for skin.
If it fizzles out like this, Alex will do something rude again like today.
It is right to give a soul to prevent a recurrence.
“Do you think it’s over if you apologize for doing something?”
“Then what shall I do?”
“What?”
“What can I do here?”
Stella was stunned.
Even if you can’t show your remorse, what an attitude like that…
Even he doesn’t even look at himself properly, he’s only giving his phone a glance.
He’s like this in front of himself, but how rude he would be normally… I didn’t dare to expect it.
“Tomorrow morning, go to your agency, apologize to everyone and write five letters of apology.”
“Ah, what kind of self-reflection… Are you kidding me?”
“You think you’re kidding?”
“… And I have to go back to work tomorrow. I don’t have time to write an apology…”
“I’ll call the uncle and tell him, so get ready to apologize.”
At that, Alex’s eyes lit up with annoyance.
“Why are you calling me… Am I a child?”
“If you look at what you do, there is no such thing as a child.”
“Sister. It is true that I was wrong. Swearing at my sister’s fan was really bad. But Jihyeok hyung said it was over well. Isn’t that what happened?”
“What…?”
Stunned, Stella opened her mouth slightly.
Alex scratched his head, realizing that the situation had gotten worse.
“I couldn’t speak. Sorry…”
“You don’t want to die for yourself to suffer, but it doesn’t matter if other people suffer because of you?”
“Not that…”
“Or what? Why are you being so rude? Do you have any complaints about me?”
He had never been so hard on Alex before.
Alex must have sensed it as well, so he looked down without further retorting.
Said Stella, whose reaction nearly melted her heart.
“First, apologize to people. I want you to sincerely reflect. In the morning, the agency sincerely apologizes. Then you can go to a part-time job without needing a letter of reflection.”
If the conditions were relaxed to this extent, there was room for acceptance.
If she doesn’t accept, she will immediately call the uncle and have him quit the part-time job.
Is that all? I’ll cut off her pocket money too.
“…. Okay.”
As expected, Alex calmed down and answered calmly.
But it couldn’t end here.
When you catch it, you have to hold it firmly.
He whipped and gave me a carrot, so it’s time to pick up the whip again.
“And I know I will die if I smoke one more cigarette. No matter how much you are an adult, your status is a student. Act accordingly.”
“Ah noona… Why are you so upset that you couldn’t eat me…”
“You’re sick of not being able to catch and eat? Have I ever tried to control you? You just let it go Quit smoking before setting a curfew. I’m not saying to quit right away, but to go to a smoking cessation clinic. Got it?”
“Ah…”
Alex’s disapproval expression was clear.
Stella, who frowned at her, said firmly.
“Say that you are trying.”
“… I’ll try.”
“What are you going to do tomorrow?”
“Before I go to part-time job, I will stop by the agency and sincerely apologize, and I will also say I am sorry to Jihyeok hyung. So don’t call your uncle.”
I think this is enough.
Whether or not you apologize properly tomorrow is up to you to monitor yourself.
Stella, who shot Alex once with a disapproving expression, closed the door to his brother’s room and went into her room.
**
[Did you get in?]
[Yes.]
[But why don’t you contact me? I thought you were sleeping.]
Receiving Stella’s talk, I couldn’t hide the smile that leaked out.
She had a special feeling for me.
Sees me as a man
This is evident from Stella’s reaction in her car earlier.
Here, if only I showed the appearance of trying to get a little closer, I would head straight to the thumb, but there was no need to overdo it like an animal in heat.
[I just finished cleaning the car and I’m on my way home. You haven’t slept yet, what are you doing?]
[I will watch music videos, stream new songs and go to sleep. It’s two hours from now, and I’m dying of nervousness.]
[You already watched the music video.]
[Still, it’s the debut day, so I’m going to watch it. Is that okay?]
Just by looking at it, you probably want to read the comments or check the real-time results.
You must be very tired tomorrow… I’ll allow you because it’s a special day.
[Do it.]
[Yes. Oppa, are you going to sleep right away?]
[I have to wash and lie down.]
[Okay. See you tomorrow. But what are you doing tomorrow morning?]
The way he wants to continue the conversation even though he knows I’m tired…
I guess I can’t control the fresh mind I’m feeling right now.
[Well. I haven’t decided yet. What do you want to eat?]
[No. I like it all. And I’m really sorry today. Alex scolded me tingly. I will go to the agency tomorrow to apologize.]
I believe that I have been properly scolded today.
I wish I could have even a little bit of love for my younger sister… Blood ties are not easily broken, so don’t expect too much.
Time, place, people… Everyone is on my side.
If you do what you plan to do, Stella will naturally be submerged in the swamp.
Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I’ll send out an S-class monster.
It doesn’t matter where the location is except in Seoul… The hero to deal with the monster is Sehwa, Stella’s favorite beast slayer.
This time, by capturing the battle scenes well, Stella’s admiration for the beast slayers should be heightened.
After drawing the blueprint, I tapped my phone.
[Alex must have done it out of anger because he was having a hard time. Don’t be too harsh.]
[My brother is so kind that I have to wear it. I think I’ll be scammed well.]
That’s what I want to say to you
You are falling for a scam that will change your life.
