1. It's strange.
“Ugh.. ugh.. “
“What are you talking about..?”
Strangely, I keep hearing the sound of someone being in pain at night these days. Is it Jihoon..?
I went into Jihoon's room with a worried heart, and he had a really distressed expression on his face and was sweating profusely. He was writhing.
“Ji-hoon! What’s wrong? Calm down..!!”
“Ugh..ugh..it hurts..it hurts.. “
" calm down..!! "
Hug -
“Ugh.. ugh.. it hurts so much.. “
“Calm down.. please.”
As I hugged Jihoon, my excitement began to subside. Ha... Why is he suddenly acting like this?
“ .... “
“..You were having such a hard time earlier, but now you’re sleeping well again.”
He has a fever and says he's sick and this happens every day... Should I take him to the hospital? No but... Should I take him to the animal hospital or a human hospital?
In the end, I gave up on going to the hospital and just watched Jihoon until the sun came up. Was he really in pain?
“.. Ah, I have to go to work now.. “
“ ... “
He was sleeping too deeply, and he was so sick at night that it seemed impossible for him to go to work. In the end, I left Jihoon behind and went to work alone. "Ma'am... if you leave him alone, something will definitely happen to him..."
I eventually got worried and contacted Kim Min-gyu and told him not to come to work and take care of Ji-hoon. Kim Min-gyu said he understood. Will it be okay..?
2. Being with cute guys
Min-gyu's perspective -
“Oh really.. your cousin is a housekeeper, right?”
But what can I do? Jihoon hyung isn't a normal person, he's a half-human, half-beast that I thought only appeared in comics.
Clank -
“Jihoon hyung! I’m out!”
“ ... “
What... why can't I hear anything? Are you sleeping until now? I heard you were sick yesterday, but... are you really sick?
“.. Then let’s start with cleaning first.”
I cleaned every nook and cranny of the house, from the clothes strewn across the sofa to the dishes piled up in the kitchen. By the time I finished cleaning, the clock was already pointing to lunchtime.
“I need to feed you, so I should wake you up, right?”
I passed my sister's room and knocked on Jihoon's door next to mine. There was no movement, so I just opened it and went in.
“Hyung Jihoon. Eat.”
“ ... “
“Surely… he’s not dead, is he?”
“ ... “
“Huh..hyung!! Are you dead.. are you dead..?”
Are you really dead? No... Was it really hard when you broke up with Kim Yeo-ju? Is it an aftereffect...? No, what is this...
at that time -
“I’m not dead..”
“Ha.. I really thought you were dead.. “
“But… why did you come here?”
"My older brother was sick yesterday, so my older sister came and took care of him. She said that if he was alone, something would happen."
“.. Did the female lead go to work?”
"Right. Come down and eat quickly."
" .. okay "
I left Jihoon behind, went downstairs, took ingredients out of the fridge, and started cooking. "You said you were sick, so I should make you porridge, right?"
After a while -
“It’s done!”
" .. thank you "
“But since when have you stopped talking to me?”
“You said to put it down first when I was at that house.”
“Is that so? What...”
I thought he was just keeping the door closed and not saying anything because he was uncomfortable.
Swish -
“It’s delicious..”
“Really? I’m really good at cooking!”
“It’s far to come to Yeoju...”
“Do you think about your sister that much?”
" uh. "
“..If you’re so firm, I have nothing to say.. “
“Be quiet and eat.”
“No, how can such a determined person act so coquettish in front of the female protagonist?”
“Eat some food”
" tooth.. "
You're such a sweetheart... Seriously, you only say things to me... In front of the female protagonist, you always say, "Yeoju! What are you doing? Yeoju!" That kind of person... You're a really bad person.
After we finished eating, Jihoon seemed to go back up to his room and I washed the dishes I had eaten from and put them back up.
at that time -
Tiring -
“Huh.. I guess couples really worry about each other a lot.”
The person on the phone was Yeoju's older sister. Ugh... Poor Kim Min-gyu...
" hello. "
“Kim Min-gyu. Where is Ji-hoon?”
“You ate dinner earlier and went up to your room.”
“Really? Are you in pain or anything?”
“Oh. There’s no such thing.”
“..If you bother Lee Ji-hoon or anything, you’ll die.”
“Excuse me… Oh, really… I’m going home right now?”
“Am I going to die if I go home?!”
“.. cut it off, cut it off!!”
Thump -
“Am I really your cousin?”
at that time -
Thud -
“Oh my… what the hell is going on?”
I heard a loud noise from the second floor and I went to Jihoon's room. Seriously... wasn't he just sleeping?
Squeak -
“What are you doing…screaming loudly…brother!!”
“ ..ugh.. ha.. “
Jihoon was sweating profusely, groaning in pain, and seemed to have fallen off the bed. What the... Why is this guy who was fine just a moment ago acting like this?
“Hey..hyung, calm down..!”
“Ha..ugh it hurts..it hurts so much.. “
I first put Jihoon back on the bed, then soaked a towel in water and used it to cool his fiery body. Why is he acting like this all of a sudden?
“Ha.. Is it done now?”
“ ... “
Where was the person who had been causing a fuss earlier? All I could see was someone sleeping soundly. Why was he in so much pain earlier?
I continued to take care of Jihoon hyung like that and then I fell asleep.
Yeoju's point of view -
“ .. 1.. 2.. 3 Okay! Everyone, get off work “
" to..? "
“No, in the middle of a meeting… Why are you suddenly like that, CEO?”
"Let's do it again tomorrow! Everyone, hurry up and get off work! Get off work!"
“Oh.. thank you.”
After forcing everyone to leave work so early, I quickly went home. Ha... Is Kim Min-gyu doing a good job?
3. I laugh for no reason
“Kim Min-gyu..!! Lee Ji-hoon..!! “
When I got home, all the lights were off. Kim Min-gyu wasn't even in sight... That son of a bitch Lee... Did he finally run away? No... I have shoes...
I went up to Jihoon's room on the second floor, wondering, and opened the door...
Squeak -
“Jihoon, are you okay..? Kim Minkyu?”
“ ..Ugh.. “
“ ... “
Kim Min-gyu was seen sleeping, holding Lee Ji-hoon's hand. What the... The kid kept complaining, but I guess he still cared.
I finally covered Kim Min-gyu with the blanket I had lying next to him, quietly left the room, and started cooking for them both. I figured I could do it, too.
After a while -
“Is this enough?”
I grilled some beef I had at home, remembering what I'd learned from Kim Min-gyu before. I also made some pasta to share. Now, should I go wake him up?
Squeak -
“Heh.. It’s really cute to see you sleeping while holding hands.”
“ ... “
Click -
I don't know why, but I feel like I'm raising two sons. They're such good brothers... haha
“Ahem.. Jihoon, Mingyu, wake up and eat.”
“Ugh.. just a little more.. “
“Wake up.. Wake up quickly. Kim Min-gyu.”
“..Yeoju noona..?”
"Okay. You worked hard today. I grilled some beef downstairs, so go eat it quickly."
“Hyung Jihoon… I guess he’s okay now.”
“Thank you. Jihoon took care of me all day.”
“Jihoon hyung… wake up. The lady you were looking for even when you were sick is here.”
“..? The heroine?”
“Eww.. Lee Ji-hoon, wake up quickly.”
“Hey lady!”
Hug -
“Did you miss me that much?”
“Yeah! I really missed you.”
“Excuse me.. you guys are a couple but I’m not?”
“Phew.. Let’s go down quickly. The food is going to get cold.”
" okay! "
So we went downstairs and had dinner, and luckily it was delicious and we both ate well. Phew... that's a relief.
“Sister, are you good at cooking now?”
“Right?”
“I also looked after Jihoon hyung today.. “
“Ugh… Okay, go to sleep. But there’s no room left…”
“You can sleep in Jihoon’s room.”
" what? "
“Please take care of me, hyung.”
" what..!! "
"Okay. Let's sleep together then."
“To Yeoju...”
Even though our busy day had passed like that, Ji-hoon was completely fine the next day, as if by magic. I guess I'll have to use Kim Min-gyu more often from now on. And so, I've added another contract worker to my staff.
[Behind the Scenes] The Process of Letting Go
“Excuse me. Jihoon, eat.”
“ ... “
“Oh really.. If you think about it, I’m the one who’s ahead, but why do I act like this.. Well, it turns out Yeoju-noona is my ahead.. “
“ ... “
“Excuse me. Ji-hoon, you’re suffering so much, and so is Kim Yeo-ju. So, just wait a little longer, Kim Yeo-ju isn’t that cruel.”
“ ... “
“And let go. I’ll let go.”
“ ... “
“Please take care of me, Jihoon hyung.”
