I was embarrassed. So what are you two doing? Are you brothers? I'm the most absurd person right now.
No one explained. It seemed like it had been a long time since they'd seen each other, but how could they be so cold? The two of them, even though they were brothers, looked at each other with a strange gaze.
"Wow... Are you really human, Choi Yeonjun?"
"It's none of your business, hyung."
"Why should I care? I'm the older brother."
".. You know he's my brother, right? I thought we were worse off than others."
"Hey Yeonjun, that's too harsh - it's been years since we last saw each other."
The boss rolled up his sleeves and came closer, linking arms with me. .. Am I being sensitive? Why does it seem like I'm being provocative?
I put my thoughts aside and took in the atmosphere. Yeonjun's expression was indescribable. I quickly grabbed Yeonjun's hand and greeted the president.
"Well then, boss, I'll be leaving work!" Yeonjun obediently followed my lead, but his gaze remained fixed on Daniel.
Of course, it wasn't a good look.

"..Yeonjun, are you okay?"
"..."
"Jun-ah"
".. Huh, huh? Hey, did you call me, unnie?"
"Hmm..."
I guess... now wasn't the time to ask. I could tell intuitively from the expression on Yeonjun's face. I barely managed to soothe Yeonjun, who was half-asleep, and laid him on the bed before going out to the living room. It was my first day at work... I felt like quitting... Oh, that was so irresponsible. What should I do?
What should I do? I have to say something. It was a decision I reached after much deliberation. Just as I was about to pick up my phone and call my boss, he called.
Ouch!! I was so shocked that I threw my phone away, then quickly cleared my throat and answered the phone.
".. yes"
["Oh, did you get home safely, Miss Yeoju? I was really surprised earlier."]
"Oh, that's okay. I got home safely."
["As you probably know, Yeonjun and I don't get along. It's bound to be awkward for Yeoju to work here... I can't help it, but our store's circumstances are very urgent... Could you possibly work for us for just one more month?"]
"yes?"
["I'm sorry, I'm really shameless."]
"No, I'm sorry. I'm more sorry. I was just about to call you to tell you I'm quitting my job."
["I expected that. That's why I called first to catch you."]
"I'm sorry to say this after only one day of work, but..."
[".. I'm really in desperate need of manpower. Wouldn't 200 be okay?"]
"..Huh? What's 200?"
["It's a salary. If I work 5 hours a day, 4 days a week, 200 won is pretty good."]
"Yes, sir, I will work hard! See you tomorrow!"
Thump-
Oh, shit, I messed up. I brushed away my pounding heart and looked at the room where Yeonjun was sleeping.
I'm sorry, Yeonjun! But I still have to eat to live.

"Wow, you're amazing, sis. Why don't you just quit your job and give me that job? I need to make money too."
".. Subin, you're still a high school student."
"Even high school students work part-time, right? My older sister works part-time too. Two hundred thousand won for part-time work? Two million won isn't the name of someone's dog."
"Where did you learn such words?"
"It's a drama."
I left Yeonjun, who was sleeping more deeply than I expected, to go shopping. But what a surprise! I found Soobin coming out of the store with an ice cream in her mouth.
I was just going to say a quick hello and leave, but Subin, a rabbit who followed me around and chattered, no, Subin, who is now a human, seems to have become curious about many things since becoming human.
How do I save money? I have to go to the bank, but I'm too scared to go alone. Seriously. Oh, right! What's so great about part-time jobs?
As I was doing that, Subin, who knew about my financial situation and what happened yesterday, started to covet my job and his eyes sparkled.
Sorry, but that's out of the question. I'll do the work.
"Subin, you watch a lot of dramas, right? I heard that kind of content doesn't appear in them?"
"Why do you work yourself to the bone in dramas? You're too busy loving."
"If Subin has a girlfriend, he'll be busy loving her too!"
"Sister, aren't you going to leave Yeonjun hyung and go to work?"
"You're throwing me away? You're just trying to make money so we can live happily together."
"Is happiness money? Why is money so important?"
"Money feeds you and gives you a place to stay."
".. Ah, noona, don't do that. Please give me a part-time job too. Okay?"
I thought about it carefully and shook my head. It just didn't seem possible. It's still speculation, but the fact that President Daniel and Yeonjun are brothers means that the President also came from a research institute...
It seemed like Soobin and Beomgyu knew the CEO too. They even trusted and followed Yeonjun... What if Daniel, who wasn't on good terms with them, saw it?
..Ahhh no no no. Absolutely not.
"Oh, you seem to be trying to eat well and live well by yourself!!"
Subin, who had already walked over to the female lead and was suspiciously looking at her, thought as he ate the remaining ice cream.
Now that I think about it, where does that older sister work? If I go hang out with Beomgyu hyung, I'll have to tease her a lot.
***
"Sister... where are you going?"
"Hey, you awake? I'm going to work, so sleep a little more."
"..don't go"
"Let's go out to eat after work! I'll buy you something delicious."
"We don't have any money."
"Tseuup, it's here, don't worry"
"Don't worry? Phew...you're cute."
Yeonjun, rubbing his eyes, woke up and walked over to me, arms outstretched, and I hugged him tightly. Yeonjun was still in my arms, and I patted his butt a couple of times. Jun, who was whining, gave me one last quick kiss before stroking my hair. "Good job, I'll pick you up later!" I waved at Yeonjun and opened the front door before leaving. "Okay, let's make some money - I'll make some money and buy my Yeonjun lots of delicious food."
The heroine's steps were light as she thought that. She couldn't even imagine Yeonjun, who would be clutching his pounding head in agony as soon as she left.
