Delusional Circuit of Megalomania

The Boy Next Door, Kim Un-hak

“Are you going to work now?”

김이현 image

김이현

…uh?

김이현 image

김이현

Unhak?

김운학 image

김운학

lol

It was Kim Woon-hak standing in front of the front door with a smile on his face.

김이현 image

김이현

What about school?

김이현 image

김이현

Aren't you late?

김운학 image

김운학

There's still a little left

김이현 image

김이현

Don't you have to start school at 8?

김이현 image

김이현

It was 3 minutes ago now

김운학 image

김운학

Hey, it'll take 3 minutes if you run~

김이현 image

김이현

…;;

Today, as always, I saw Kim Un-hak's face first thing in the morning.

How many weeks has this been going on?

I wonder if I'm even going to school properly

The problem was that we encountered it too often.

Even if they are next door neighbors.

김운학 image

김운학

Sister, then I'll go!!

김운학 image

김운학

Good luck at work today!! (Bboongbangbang)

Every time Kim Un-hak said his morning greeting, he was busy running down the apartment hallway.

Kim Woon-hak waves his hand at me without a second thought. His magpie-like hair is a bonus.

김이현 image

김이현

… Huh,,

김이현 image

김이현

How do you like that horn?

I looked at Kim Un-hak and touched my forehead.

Thump thump…

김이현 image

김이현

Haa, it's almost lunchtime.

I have to organize and send the data by then.

Oh, please

I wish I didn't have to work overtime today...;;

My name is Kim Lee-hyun, 26 years old.

As you can see, he is an ordinary office worker.

Tiring.-

Kim Un-hak | What are you doing?

Kim Un-hak's name appeared at the bottom of the monitor screen.

김이현 image

김이현

…under?

김이현 image

김이현

Does this kid have time to send KakaoTalk messages at school?

I kept my mouth shut and tapped away at the keyboard.

Me| I'm working^^

I'll just send a smiley face emoticon and stop it.

I thought so.

But the three letters of Kim Un-hak's name appear at the bottom of the monitor screen without anyone noticing.

Kim Woon-hak | It's almost lunchtime!! Today's lunch is stir-fried pork!! Wow, I'm hungry already.

김이현 image

김이현

Seeing him rambling on about school lunches, something he wasn't even interested in, he looked like a high school student.

김이현 image

김이현

Unhak... It's almost lunchtime for you too.

김이현 image

김이현

If I finish this, I won't have to work overtime today...

김이현 image

김이현

It’s been years since I’ve seen a school lunch menu…

I muttered to myself in front of the monitor like that.

I was always worried about Kim Un-hak, who kept babbling useless words.

Every time that happened, Kim Un-hak had a solution.

Ring ring ring...

김운학 image

김운학

Hello..? Sister?;; (quietly)

김이현 image

김이현

Unhak, aren't you in class?

김운학 image

김운학

..Uh, yeah.. I'm in class (whispering)

김운학 image

김운학

Why are you calling...

“Kim Woon-hak, who calls during class?”

김운학 image

김운학

!!

김운학 image

김운학

Oh, teacher, that's...!

김운학 image

김운학

I'm sorry, sister. I think I have to hang up.

Stop.

The call ended with Kim Woon-hak's voice hanging up in a hurry, followed by an unfamiliar voice directed at him.

김이현 image

김이현

Looks like my phone got stolen.

If that's the case, Kim Woon-hak didn't contact me until I left work today. Perhaps the teacher took his phone away.

I'm a little sorry, but I can't let this get in the way of your work...

I hate working overtime.

..

.

"Ha, at least I avoided overtime work..-"

김이현 image

김이현

What should I eat for dinner tonight?

김이현 image

김이현

My fridge must be empty right now.

Beep beep beep.-

Clank.-

김이현 image

김이현

I'm back..

김운학 image

김운학

Oh! Are you coming now??

When I opened the front door, the first thing that greeted me was Kim Un-hak's face.

김이현 image

김이현

What, when...

김이현 image

김이현

No, how did you get in?

김동현 image

김동현

Oh, do you want to eat too, sister?

김동현 image

김동현

Unhak's mother made side dishes for him.

At that moment, Kim Dong-hyun, who was sitting at the table, peeked his face out and said.

Kim Dong-hyun is my younger brother, five years younger than me.

Now I'm a college student who moved out of my parents' house and settled down in my own studio apartment...

김이현 image

김이현

..then,,

김운학 image

김운학

Yes, Mom said she'd bring side dishes for my older sister and brother~

김이현 image

김이현

Oh, thank you..

Every now and then, like today, Unhak's mother would make him some side dishes. Her mother's concern was that he might eat them all by himself.

I think it's because we've known each other since we were young, but he seems to take special care of me.

김운학 image

김운학

Sister, you didn't eat, right?

김이현 image

김이현

Oh, yeah

김운학 image

김운학

Then let's eat together! Haha

Unhak pushed me from behind and led me to the table.

김이현 image

김이현

Uh, wash your hands-

..

.

“Oh…, delicious.”

김운학 image

김운학

It's my mom's cooking~

Unhak beat his chest as if boasting.

김이현 image

김이현

Tell your mother thank you

김운학 image

김운학

Yes~

김이현 image

김이현

김이현 image

김이현

Still, Unhak is better than a college student who stays stuck at his older sister's house.

김이현 image

김이현

Be sure to bring side dishes too~ (Park Park)

I patted Kim Un-hak on the head as if I was impressed.

김운학 image

김운학

lol..

Kim Woon-hak smiled bashfully as if he was okay with it.

김동현 image

김동현

…are you talking about me, the college student stuck at home?

김이현 image

김이현

So where are the college students here?

김이현 image

김이현

He (Kim Un-hak) is a high school student, and I'm a working adult.

김이현 image

김이현

Looking at it this way, there are people of all ages?

김동현 image

김동현

김동현 image

김동현

Sister, are you really upset about me?

김이현 image

김이현

huh

김동현 image

김동현

Yeah..

Kim Dong-hyun was a merciless person to his older sister.

김동현 image

김동현

Unhak, I only have you in this corner of the house.

김운학 image

김운학

yes..?

Kim Dong-hyun grabbed Kim Woon-hak and hung on.

김동현 image

김동현

You're on my side, right?

김운학 image

김운학

..to?

김동현 image

김동현

no?

김운학 image

김운학

… Yes, that’s right..~!

김동현 image

김동현

Yeah, I love Kim Woon-hak.

김동현 image

김동현

Don't you have a Kim Un-hak like this? Aren't you jealous?

Kim Dong-hyun sat down next to Kim Woon-hak and muttered with increasingly childish words.

김이현 image

김이현

…;;

김이현 image

김이현

Is that a college student?

김이현 image

김이현

How can someone be more immature than a high school student?

김동현 image

김동현

김운학 image

김운학

Aight, Donghyun hyung is going to get upset..;; (whispering)

김이현 image

김이현

… (sigh)

김운학 image

김운학

Oh, right

김이현 image

김이현

?

김운학 image

김운학

Why did you call today?

김이현 image

김이현

phone call?

김이현 image

김이현

ah..

김이현 image

김이현

Just~^^

김운학 image

김운학

…yes?

김운학 image

김운학

no,,

김운학 image

김운학

I really got my phone stolen by the teacher back then..!!

김이현 image

김이현

Why are you on your phone during class?

김운학 image

김운학

No, that..

Kim Un-hak was a man who felt wronged but had nothing to say.

김운학 image

김운학

Ah, sister... You did that on purpose, right..?

김이현 image

김이현

^^

김운학 image

김운학

My phone has been confiscated three times this week…

김이현 image

김이현

Oh, is that so? lol

김운학 image

김운학

Ah..sister;;..

김이현 image

김이현

You're really funny too

김이현 image

김이현

Just put your phone on silent mode lol

김이현 image

김이현

How come it happens every day? lol

김운학 image

김운학

If I put it on silent, I won't be able to answer your calls.

김이현 image

김이현

huh..?

김운학 image

김운학

From now on, I'll only contact you during breaks.

김운학 image

김운학

I can't let my phone be taken away again...

김이현 image

김이현

Oh my... I should think about not using my phone at school...

김이현 image

김이현

Don't you carry your phone these days?

김운학 image

김운학

You're not walking...?

김이현 image

김이현

Oh really?

김이현 image

김이현

The world has really become a better place..

김동현 image

김동현

I wonder if my older sister is an old person

김이현 image

김이현

hey.

김동현 image

김동현

… (crouching)

김운학 image

김운학

…lol

김이현 image

김이현

Sigh, I don't know when I got so old.

김동현 image

김동현

Unhak is already in his third year of high school

김운학 image

김운학

lol..

김이현 image

김이현

Well, I've been watching him since he was a nose poker.

김운학 image

김운학

Ah..sister,,; what is a nose poker..

김이현 image

김이현

Why is that right? I'm 7 years old and haven't even started elementary school~

The first time I saw Kim Un-hak was when I was in the first year of middle school.

It's already been 12 years since we first met.

김이현 image

김이현

I remember Unhak when he was 7 years old

김운학 image

김운학

?

김이현 image

김이현

When I first saw Unhak, he was really a kid.

김운학 image

김운학

ah..;

김이현 image

김이현

Did you know that Unhak cried the first time he saw me?

김운학 image

김운학

..me?

김동현 image

김동현

Oh, I remember

김동현 image

김동현

When adults tease Unhak, they say to his older sister, "That older sister is Unhak's wife~"

김동현 image

김동현

It was like this, but I didn't know what the meaning of the word "saeksi" was, and when the adults joked around saying something like "Woonhak, do you want to marry Hyun-i?", I cried as soon as I saw her face.

김이현 image

김이현

Yes, at that time I was shedding tears and snot haha

김운학 image

김운학

..No, me??

김운학 image

김운학

Really??

김동현 image

김동현

I don't remember him lol

김이현 image

김이현

Huh,, it's really sad?

김이현 image

김이현

Unhak, did you hate marrying your older sister so much that you cried? ㅠㅠ

김운학 image

김운학

..oh, no;

김운학 image

김운학

I said I don't remember that time..;; I was only 7 years old!!

김동현 image

김동현

Do you want to be like your older sister? Haha

김동현 image

김동현

Do you want to marry Kim Lee-hyun, who is 7 years older than you?

김이현 image

김이현

… Are you kidding me about my age?^^

김이현 image

김이현

But, that's true

김동현 image

김동현

That's true

김이현 image

김이현

lol

김이현 image

김이현

Ah, I'll try to live until Unhak gets married.

김동현 image

김동현

Stay healthy, sister.

김운학 image

김운학

… Oh really,,

김이현 image

김이현

lol

김동현 image

김동현

lol

Kim Un-hak was a brother and sister who enjoyed teasing each other.

김운학 image

김운학

I'm going now

김동현 image

김동현

already?

김운학 image

김운학

I feel like I'm going to be treated like a baby again if I stay here.

김이현 image

김이현

lol

김운학 image

김운학

Anyway, I'll go

김운학 image

김운학

see you tomorrow

Kim Un-hak said that and returned home.

김동현 image

김동현

tomorrow?

김동현 image

김동현

Tomorrow is the weekend

김이현 image

김이현

There's Kim Woon-hak's private tutoring.

김동현 image

김동현

Ah~

김이현 image

김이현

… Hey, you should know that you’re a private tutor

김동현 image

김동현

haha.

김이현 image

김이현

I have a bad feeling about this.

It was supposed to be a peaceful weekend holiday.

Knock knock.-

김운학 image

김운학

Sister, I don't know this...

It was Kim Un-hak who opened the door and came in, breaking my precious holiday.

김이현 image

김이현

…What about Kim Dong-hyun?

김운학 image

김운학

My brother, I missed the tutoring..

김이현 image

김이현

also?

김운학 image

김운학

Nod)

김이현 image

김이현

Are you a teacher who has left your sense of responsibility behind?

김이현 image

김이현

Come here and sit down

김운학 image

김운학

Yes~

Kim Un-hak walked quickly and sat down at the desk.

It was a scene I had already become accustomed to.

Kim Dong-hyun's commitment to tutoring Kim Woon-hak every weekend was abandoned to me after only a few months.

The guy who was supposed to tutor me was playing a game with me and fell asleep while solving a problem.

In the end, Kim Dong-hyun's work was passed on to me.

Tutoring students was something I was sick of doing in college, so who would have thought I would be able to do it even after becoming a company employee?

Square, square...-

김이현 image

김이현

If there's anything else you don't know, ask.

Although he said that, he is paying close attention to Kim Un-hak's tutoring.

I guess it was because I learned from Kim Dong-hyun's college tutoring not only during my college days but also at home.

I'm scared of how used I am.

김운학 image

김운학

Sister

김이현 image

김이현

Huh? What are you stuck on?

김운학 image

김운학

Oh, that's not it...

김이현 image

김이현

?

김운학 image

김운학

Can I go to that university..?

김이현 image

김이현

Yeah? Then~ If you work hard.

김운학 image

김운학

Then can I go to Korea University too?

김이현 image

김이현

Why are you my junior? lol

김운학 image

김운학

…yes (hwaak)

Kim Un-hak blushed.

김이현 image

김이현

Hmm..~

김운학 image

김운학

No..?

김이현 image

김이현

Well, it's the same for Kim Dong-hyun, who didn't study at all, because I sent him to college.

김이현 image

김이현

If you work hard, you might be able to do it too~? ㅋㅋ

김운학 image

김운학

..!

김운학 image

김운학

Really?

김운학 image

김운학

Can I really go to Korea University??

김이현 image

김이현

Yeah~

김이현 image

김이현

So work hard~

김운학 image

김운학

… Hehe, I get it

김운학 image

김운학

I will really work hard!!

김이현 image

김이현

Yeah yeah

김운학 image

김운학

So, sister.

Kim Woon-hak's face suddenly became serious.

김이현 image

김이현

huh?

김운학 image

김운학

If I go to Korea University, please grant me one wish.

김이현 image

김이현

wish?

김운학 image

김운학

…yes

김이현 image

김이현

What is it?

김운학 image

김운학

…Can I tell you about that then?

김이현 image

김이현

Yeah, what~

김이현 image

김이현

If only I could hear it...

김운학 image

김운학

There is no softness (wide open)

As soon as I finished speaking, Kim Woon-hak's face brightened and he gave me a little finger.

김이현 image

김이현

What the heck, you even walked with your finger...lol

김이현 image

김이현

What on earth do you wish for?

김운학 image

김운학

..it's a secret

..
