:: Pork Cutlet
After finishing our meal, I went home, quickly got ready, and went back up to the 12th floor to play with Yeojin while my brother washed up. Kim Taehyung was sleeping on the sofa with Hyunjin lying face down on his stomach. Hyunjin was sleeping right there, drooling all over his chest. Unable to bear it any longer, I wiped the drool for him and kept Hyunjin's mouth shut.
Just wait a moment, I'll finish this and come out.
My brother had been struggling to take off the tie he was wearing for a while. While Yeojin stopped by the bathroom for a moment, I peeked into the master bedroom and asked if he wasn't done yet. "Yeah, not yet. Sorry, I think this one is defective..." Seeing that the tie wouldn't come off his neck—clearly a defective product at first glance—I boldly opened the door and stepped into the room, offering to help.
It must have been really hard doing it alone.
You should have asked for help sooner.
It’s too much trouble to ask for a favor just to do this one thing
It's a bit ambiguous, so...
Doesn't it constrict your neck? Unscrew it like this
I think that's correct.
I feel much more at ease.
Come to think of it, this looks somehow familiar. It reminded me of a scene from a drama where a newlywed woman ties the man's tie before he leaves for work. Although, right now, it is the other way around—I am the one untying his tie. I let out a small smile, feeling as if I were a newlywed couple from a drama for no reason.
"This is why we really..."
I think I'm married.
"is it so?"
Then, our eyes met, and after a brief silence, my brother completely closed the master bedroom door, pulled me by the waist, and kissed me. "Aren't we going to get caught?" I asked. He said it was fine, stopped untying his tie with me, and hugged me tightly. He told me that since it was defective and unusable anyway, we should just cut it later and stay like this for a little while, refusing to let go and burying his head in my shoulder.
"What are you two doing?" Just then, Yeojin came out of the bathroom, presumably having finished her business, and knocked on the master bedroom door. My brother and I hurriedly pushed each other aside, laughed awkwardly, and greeted Yeojin. Fortunately, I had cut off the tie with scissors and put on a different one.
Today, I finished work without any issues and left the office holding hands with my brother. I felt at ease knowing that we could date without feeling self-conscious even at work. I wish we could hold hands just as freely at home soon, too. However, I was still worried about how Yeojin would react.
Ah, the pork cutlet I had before was delicious.
Shall I buy that for Yeojin and take it?
Yeah, well, Taehyung at home
Because I said I brought him.
You said you like cheese pork cutlet, right? Side
There were a lot of delicious things on the menu, too!
"They say the fish cutlets there are famous too. I should have ordered them if I had known back then. Since you're buying something for Yeojin this time, let's eat some fish cutlets as well." She continued to chatter away beside her brother like a little sparrow, constantly worrying about what Yeojin might like. "What else might Yeojin like? Doesn't she like Juju? I wonder if girls these days like other things?"
As I kept rambling on about Yeojin, my brother suddenly stopped in his tracks and pouted. He complained that even though I was just going to buy pork cutlets for her, I wasn't paying enough attention to him. Jealousy toward his own daughter, of all people. When I burst out laughing, he crossed his arms and asked what I was laughing at.
You know I like you the most.
Yeojin likes more than me
It's undeniable, so what are you talking about?
This sulky brat. Whoever it is
Jealousy isAre you saying you'll do everything?
"What? Pouting? Pouting at me?"
She was practically dying to get five million kisses from Ppidori. Hick, she sensed something was wrong and ran away, but was quickly caught by her older brother and kissed.
Ah, no kissing! Seriously, no kissing!
The female lead likes doing it too.
He's doing it again for no reason.
"No, I really don't!"
Unexpectedly, my brother agreed with me and started walking first, suggesting we go our separate ways. Kissing is forbidden, and he's not even holding my hand...? Still, my pride was hurt since I was the one who said it first, so I trotted along behind him.
One cheese pork cutlet, and one original.
One fish cutlet, a salad, and...
"······."
Was Oppa always this handsome? Right, he was always on a whole other level of handsomeness... I don't know why the world has been spinning for a while now. My lips are trembling, and my heart pounds even harder than before whenever I see his face. It's not like I have a crush on him, so I don't know why I'm acting like this.
"Yes, just give it to me like this." I gazed at my brother's face for a moment as he placed his order, but my eyes were naturally drawn to his lips. When he speaks, his lips move here and there... Wow, they look like cherries. How can they be so red when he hasn't applied anything? Could they be real cherries? Wow, seriously, really.
You look like you want to kiss.
"Huh...? Hmph, ugh. No, Yeoju."
I was thinking to myself, but I accidentally blurted it out. The employee taking our order in front of us was also giggling uncontrollably as they looked at me and my brother. My face had already turned bright red. I was so embarrassed that I tried to run outside, but my brother caught me again before long.
If you wanted to do that, you should have said
Okay, shall I give you a kiss?
"Ah... never mind!"
"Ah, so cute, what do I do? Yeoju, you..."
You don't know you're really cute, do you?
I was pouting so hard that I stuck out my lips so thick they would fill two plates, so my brother hugged me tightly, saying he wouldn't tease me anymore. But even though he said that, I suspect he'll keep teasing me from now on.
Really? Are you having dinner with your older sister today?
Yeah, so don't eat snacks.
I'm waiting. I'm almost there!
- yes!
I called Kim Taehyung's number, but Yeojin answered instead. She told me to wait a little while as she was on her way, then hung up. I hope she likes him a lot. Feeling like I still don't know much about Yeojin, I asked him all sorts of things.
I arrived home quickly and as soon as I entered, Yeojin greeted me right away. "Weren't you very hungry?" I asked. At my question, Yeojin jumped up and down, saying she was fine. Shortly after, my brother came in holding a bag of pork cutlets, told Kim Taehyung to set everything up, and took me into my room.
"Huh...? What are you doing?"
I have to finish what I was doing.
You said you wanted to kiss me earlier.
"Ah, seriously... are you going to keep teasing me?"
So, aren't you going to do it?
When I pouted at my older brother, who was teasing me with a hand kiss, he leaned down and pressed his lips against mine. I was so startled that I just stood there speechless, but he teased me even more mischievously, asking why I was so surprised when he does this all the time.
However, as if to retaliate, I grabbed his collar and continued kissing him; he chuckled softly, asking if I shouldn't hurry because Yeojin and Taehyung were waiting. When I told him it was okay to do a little more, avenging the humiliation (?) he suffered at the restaurant earlier, he readily accepted it. But,
"······."
"...... Yeojin."
Yeojin ended up seeing all of this.
I saved about 30,000 won on Fanple, and I'm going to use it to get something for my mom and dad.
But it's a hassle, so I'll just do a little more and then withdraw it haha.
