The moment I lifted the cover of the door lock to unlock the password, I heard footsteps coming through the door and the door swung open.
“No, I missed you so much, so why did you come so quickly? Hopefully we won’t fight again.”
Midsummer holding the doorknob and spitting out words like a rapid-fire gun. However, his face immediately turned pale and froze.
I stepped inside, leaving behind the midsummer’s moan of stupid moans while moving my eyebrows from side to side.
“Heh, heh heh… … .”
Suddenly, a terrible pain ran down my right wrist. Dasom was the older sister.
She shook her head as if she didn’t want to go in, trying to pull the wrist that was holding me back.
“Sister, I understand, so come in and talk.”
Ignoring it, he opened his mouth, pulling his wrist as hard as he could.
“Aren’t you here to tell me something? Then we should do it at home, and in this weather, where do we go and talk about it?”
“Well, it’s not… … Ugh, how dare a person like me dare to go to Dojin’s house… … .”
“sister.”
I continued speaking in a tone that was as strong as possible.
“I think you’re misunderstanding something, but you’re not asking for it, you’re getting angry.”
At that word, Dasom’s sister’s movements suddenly stopped. Soon she began to weep, her lips trembling like a child who had committed a mistake.
“Mi, I’m sorry. I’m sorry Dojin-ah, it’s your sister’s fault, don’t be angry because you did something wrong… … . You don’t have to be upset because of me… … .”
It felt like my heart was throbbing at the terrible sight, but now was not the time to be swallowed up by such feelings.
“… … Come in if you know.”
I grabbed Dasom’s sister’s wrist while biting my molars tightly. Then, unlike a little while ago, she did not resist and moved on quietly.
“I’m sorry, please close that.”
“Uh, uh… … .”
After midsummer rushing out and closing the front door in a hurry, I went into the bathroom holding my sister’s wrist.
My sister’s wrist, felt under her palm, was hot like a boiling kettle, and the harsh breath that leaked out of her mouth and tapped her ear had a strange excitement that could not be expressed in words.
I opened my mouth, feeling a complicated feeling.
“Wipe once. We’ll talk about it after that.”
“Ah Okay. Okay, let go of your anger, Dojin-ah. Ugh, sorry for making you feel bad.”
“Okay, let’s clean it first.”
I turned around and walked out of the bathroom. Then he took water from the sink and poured it on his face. Damn it, it’s literally going to be crazy.
“What happened?”
I was pouring water on my face like a crazy person, when I heard the voice of midsummer from behind.
I opened my mouth as I accepted the towel that Midsummer gave me.
“… … That’s right.”
Hearing my words, Midsummer tilted her head with a puzzled expression.
“That’s exactly what I want to say. I wonder how the hell this works.”
I continued my conversation towards midsummer, when I raised my eyebrows as if it was ridiculous.
“I was overweight at night without an umbrella, so when I asked what was going on, I cried and shook my head. It’s a little bit like it’s still there, so I brought it with me.”
“What is that.”
“That’s right.”
I threw the damp towel into the washing machine and took off my shirt, which was sticky and even started to sting.
“Oh crazy.”
Midsummer, who was behind me, turned around, kicking his tongue. He covered his eyes with his palms and opened his mouth as if he saw something he couldn’t see.
“No, I shoved dirty things in without warning. Ugh, sir, really… … .”
“Oh, sorry, I’m getting frustrated.”
I took a short-sleeved tee from the drawer and put it on, giving a modest apology to the muffled midsummer. Then he turned his head and opened his mouth.
“One more dirty thing is coming out, so if you don’t want to see it, don’t kill yourself there and go over there.”
As soon as the words were finished, Midsummer spit out abusive language and moved forward.
I wondered if I was speaking in a slightly sharp tone, but there was no time to take care of him even when his head was already congested.
They say they don’t want to see me, so I can’t even change people’s clothes, so I’m just standing there.
After undressing, I picked up some clothes that Dasomi noona would wear from the chest of drawers and headed towards the bathroom.
“Sister, the clothes to change into, I’ll put them in front of the door, so when you’re done, take them and put them on.”
“Yes… … !”
I took out a dry towel from the clothes dryer and started wiping the front door, which had become a sea of water due to the commotion a while ago.
So, what do you do from now on?
Dasomi noona came to visit me personally, who used to say, ‘I can’t meet you until I get a proper punishment’ even if I call or go to my house.
That too, not being able to ring the doorbell right away, and for a long time in the rain, I was struggling to the point of biting my nails.
It was clear that something unusual had happened. But will my current sister be able to docilely tell me about her worries? Even in this situation, I am trembling just looking at my face.
No, I had to pull it out somehow, but that was the problem.
How can I get rid of the lumps in my heart without hurting my sister? How the hell am I supposed to find out the true identity of the darkness inside my sister?
No matter how much you ponder, there is no clear answer. Damn it, it’s been a while since Garyun made a promise in front of me.
The hand holding the mop gets stronger and stronger.
“Then I will drill a hole.”
It was midsummer. He lightly kicked my hand, then slumped down and started wiping the messy porch.
“So what are you really going to do next time?”
I sighed a little and parted my lips.
“… … I’ll have to listen first.”
“Okay, I’ll clean this up and leave right away.”
Midsummer said in a gloomy tone.
“It’s pouring heavily right now, so hold on.”
“Still, I wouldn’t mind if I was there.”
“I’m not the one to say anything about that. Rather, it will only get complicated if you disappear now, so stay still.”
If it was my current sister, I would have blamed myself for a long time, saying that I had driven Amon into a torrential rain because of her.
“okay.”
After saying those words, the two of them silently wiped the floor for a few minutes, and a clever knocking sound came out from the bathroom.
“Sister, wait a minute.”
I quickly went into the corner, stood facing the wall, and opened my mouth.
“It’s okay now.”
As I said that, the sound of the bathroom door opening came from the bathroom, and then closed again with a thud.
“Me, Dojin? Once I put it on… … .”
Not long after, the sound of embarrassment was evident in the voice of the older sister who came out of the bathroom.
“Uh, sister, why? Something happened-.”
I turned my head with concern and saw my older sister wearing a white short-sleeved tee and a red sweatshirt jumper.
“Hey, I think it’s a bit tight… … .”
The older sister was trying to lift the zipper of the sweatshirt, but it was not enough to cover the huge chest that bulged out from under her clothes.
“Ugh, this, why is this… … .”
The ridge that rises with the zipper that goes up and down quickly dances.
Frightened by the absurd sight, I quickly pulled an oversized hoodie from my chest of drawers and handed it to my sister.
“I’m sorry, I’m wearing this.”
“Oh, no. Dojin, why are you sorry? It’s all because my sister is so fat… … .”
Dasomi noona answered in a crawling voice and then walked to the bathroom with her shoulders drooping.
“… … Shut your mouth, I’m sorry.”
I whispered a small whisper to Midsummer, who was standing next to me with my mouth wide open, and then stepped toward the kitchen.
* * *
“Sister, drink this.”
“Yes. Thank you, Dojin-ah.”
Dasomi noona handed me a teacup filled with green tea, and finally closed her mouth again.
Judging from the expression on her face, it was clear that she had something to say, but my sister wiggled her fingers and glanced at my face from time to time, but didn’t say anything.
“Come on, let’s eat this and talk. I cut some apples and pears… … .”
“Oh, thank you. there… … .”
“It’s summer. Ha, no, summer.”
Midsummer, who put down the fruit bowl, continued talking with a stiff smile.
“Well, it must have been sudden, but the reason I’m here isn’t something else—”
I wanted to be aggressive for some reason, not like a guy, but he seemed to be talking to me to prevent any misunderstanding.
Either way, he’s a weird guy.
“No, I have already heard everything from Minseo. called his cousin. I’m so sorry I came all of a sudden. I am Dasom The person who becomes the older sister of Dojin here.”
Dasomi’s sister, who was talking in a hurry, suddenly covered her mouth with her palm.

“Ahhh… … . I told him not to pretend to be my sister, but Dojin said he didn’t like that. Mi, sorry… … . I’m sorry, Dojin-ah. my sister was wrong I’ll never do that again. So please don’t throw it away… … !”
Out of nowhere, I knelt down and raised Dasomi’s sister, who rubbed both palms together.
“Sister, it’s okay, it’s okay. you said last time At that time, I was so excited that I spat out words indiscriminately.”
“Black, wow… … . Bur, don’t throw it away… … .”
“Why did I abandon my sister? Come on, wake up. Blow your nose here.”
I gently wiped my sister’s face, which had been soaked with tears and runny nose, with a tissue for a moment.
“But you were angry earlier… … . You hate it… … .”
“I pretended to be angry because I was nervous that my sister might catch a cold if I left it that way. Actually, I didn’t get angry at all. Come to think of it, if I really didn’t like it, I wouldn’t have been with my sister right now.”
“Ahhh… … .”
“It’s okay, everything is fine now… … .”
Does this really mean that the Dasom I knew is the same person as my older sister?
It’s been years since we’ve been in a relationship, but it’s the first time I’ve seen Dasomi’s sister so weak.
A person who silently does a given task without opening an eye even when the people around him are frustrated or crying.
A woman named Dasom was such a person.
Did I make it this way, no, I did it this way.
But why? To my older sister, what kind of place does the character Nara occupy?
However, there was no special relationship between my sister and me, such as blood ties.
All there was, however, was the natural friendship that had been formed over a long period of time, and that was all.
Of course, like Yu Ga-ryun, it may be my own illusion and escape.
I also won’t deny the possibility of being loved by someone now.
But it is different.
I can’t express it well, but somehow, talking with Yu Ga-ryun and looking back on the past, I felt that the feelings that I felt and what my sister is facing me now are completely different.
Dasomi noona, who had been crying for a long time, leaning on my palm like that, pulled her face back as if she had regained consciousness and opened her mouth.
“I’m sorry, I keep doing weird things. I was embarrassed… … ? I feel like I can’t control my emotions well these days. I am constantly taking my medicine… … .”
“Is it medicine?”
Then Dasomi noona covered her mouth with both palms as if it was a false statement.
“Are you going to the hospital?”
“Yes. It’s not a big deal, I can’t sleep well at night… … . Really! It hasn’t even been a week yet. Mi, believe me, noona, you’re not weird… … !”
“If you are sick, it is natural to go to the hospital, so why is that strange?”
Upon hearing my words, Dasomi noona bowed her head. The fact that he bit his lip was an attitude that seemed to be very shameful that he was going to the hospital.
I leaned over to make eye level with my sister and opened my mouth.
“sister.”
At my words, Dasomi nodded her head without saying a word.
“You can tell me.”
A shallow breath escaped Dasom’s noona’s lips. Her red-brown eyes were rolling around as if anxious.
“it’s okay. Is there anything you want to tell me?”
I continued speaking slowly.
“Can I hear you? Maybe there is something I can do to help.”
“Yeah, but.”
Dasomi noona continued to stutter as if hesitating.
“You would definitely think it was weird. Angry, I am sure I will be angry. I mean, I don’t want Dojin to be hated by you anymore… … .”
“I’m not mad. I wouldn’t think it was weird, and I wouldn’t hate it.”
I said as I wiped the clear liquid that ran down Dasom’s nostrils.
“Really.”
Dasomi noona, who heard me, looked at me with her moist eyes raised as if she could really trust me.
Then, slowly, very carefully, she lifted her puffy lips.
“Well then… … Dojin is you… … I mean… … .”
“yes.”
“… … Are you dating anyone right now?”
What is the purpose of this question? As all kinds of possibilities ran through my head, I saw Dasomi’s sister trembling with her hands together in my sight.
Alright, let’s put aside any good thoughts and think only about sincerely answering the woman in front of us.
She must know best how her words will be received now, and that’s why she hesitated.
I shook my head and opened my mouth.
“No, not yet.”
At my answer, Dasomi noona sighed and swallowed a runny nose. She lowered her head and sighed a little, then looked up at me obliquely and opened her mouth.
“Well then, then… … .”
The older sister, who cut her voice long, took a deep breath and continued talking.
“… … Don’t you want to try my sister’s boyfriend?”
