[Contest 2] Red Riding Hood
-4- Romance "Fantasy"



강 다니엘 (23)
As for me...

_
At that moment, Daniel took out something as he spoke.


강 다니엘 (23)
He's a police officer and Uncle Seol.

???
.......!??!?!!?

_
What Daniel took out from his bosom was a police officer ID card with his picture on it.


강 다니엘 (23)
I'd like to send you all to juvenile detention, but if that happens, even Seul-i will get tired.

???
Then...??? (in a shaking voice)


강 다니엘 (23)
So, I have a suggestion.


강 다니엘 (23)
One, from now on, I will quietly graduate from elementary school without touching a single hair on my head.


강 다니엘 (23)
Two, after I leave, if you touch even a hair on my head, I'll send you to a juvenile detention center as a triple. What do you want to do?

???
Number 1...!!!


강 다니엘 (23)
(As expected, it's a humane choice.) Not bad.

???
Well then, that's it for us....!!


강 다니엘 (23)
Oh, I have a warning. If you touch Sly...


강 다니엘 (23)
Then, without any mercy, I will draw a red line under your life.

???
(shudder)….!!


강 다니엘 (23)
The red line. Do you know what it means? (smiles)

유슬(13)
Huh? Uncle Daniel is here? (Waking up)


강 다니엘 (23)
Oh, I got confused about the direction to the teachers' office. I'm a little late.

유슬(13)
Ah, I guess I should have gone.


강 다니엘 (23)
Oh, no. But I think it's better if I go. Well, then shall we go back home?


강 다니엘 (23)
Sly, then you are resting.

유슬(13)
Yes..! See you tomorrow!

_
(after a while)

유슬(13)
Uhm... Ah, I dozed off for a bit..


의건(18)
Oh, Sla, are you awake?

유슬(13)
Huh? Since when have you been here?


의건(18)
Me..? It's been a while since I came..

유슬(13)
Oh, really? (How long did I sleep..)


의건(18)
But... Seul-ah... can I ask you one thing?

유슬(13)
Hmm! What is it?


의건(18)
…Sla, wouldn’t you like to transfer to a school near here?

유슬(13)
…?Transfer..?


의건(18)
Oh, that... it's too far... and the school is so old now... (with a faint smile)

유슬(13)
..??How do you know that my brother went to school for a long time?


의건(18)
(Oops!) Ah… ,,,that’s… I heard it from Uncle Daniel!!

유슬(13)
Ah~ I see! Okay, well. It's good for me if I move!!


의건(18)
(Smiling brightly) Okay! That's great~!!

유슬(21)
So after that, I transferred to a school near my brother's house. Fortunately, I made a few friends there.

유슬(21)
And even after that, I occasionally heard news that the three musketeers who bullied me at my previous school were expelled after another friend (not me) reported them. That's something I'd like to forget.

유슬(21)
The story that will unfold from now on is 13 years ago. It is the story that takes place 7 years later.

유슬(21)
However, before that, a very important incident occurred, so let's take a look at that incident.

유슬(21)
It was just before I started middle school. I was still 13. My brother was carrying a laundry basket and heading upstairs to the washing machine.

유슬(13)
(-Tiring)… Huh? Why is there a text…

_
The text message Seul received was informing him of the middle school he was assigned to.

유슬(13)
Wow!! I wanted to go to this middle school!

_
And then Seul went straight up to the second floor and ran to her brother.

유슬(13)
Oppa, I was assigned to 00 Middle School..



의건(18)
I guess I'll suck this too... (taking off clothes)

유슬(21)
Not once, not even once, have I seen my brother without that hoodie. From the first time I met him, until now.

유슬(21)
But then I realized why my brother never wore a hood.

유슬(21)
On top of my brother's head, which was always covered by a hood, there were "ears" of an animal, like a puppy or a wolf. The ears even flapped and moved.

유슬(21)
I was quite shocked, so I quietly and quietly went downstairs, following my brother who hadn't noticed me yet.

유슬(13)
(What is it..? A model? No... It was too.. natural to be called a model..)

유슬(13)
(So...is that really running? Is that it??)


의건(18)
Sla~ What are you doing? (Coming closer)

유슬(13)
(Shocked) Huh?? Ah,,, it's nothing!!
