I did it because I loved you

Chapter 6. Ryu's Gift

Time passed really quickly and before we knew it, it was the last day of the festival.

I had already sent a middle finger emoji to my brother, who had texted me in the morning saying he would see me in the evening, and I had to act as a watchman between the rambunctious children and my classroom, which had become a cafe.

Why?

It's because of the thorns that go crazy when it comes to Arion goods.

Most of them are busy watching whether the owner is around or not, and although they treat the items on display with respect, there are some who handle the items on display roughly - most of them are ordinary people - so in the end, we changed the display to only show them to people who bought drinks.

Because of that, I can't go out and play and am like this. Damn it.

While I was wondering how to escape, the kids from the next class barged in. Kim Taehyung was among them.

박지민

Hey you deadly things! Are you the only ones who want to eat? - Ouch!

김태형

It's a mess because the ability is half that of others.

박지민

Ah, Kim Taehyung-! Whose side are you on!?

김태형

I'm on my side?

박지민

Yaaaa!!!

.....I wonder if he came here to argue or to complain.

We quickly turned our attention away and focused on our work, and Jimin, with a pouty face, ordered a drink.

박지민

Huh? Two thousand won? Seriously?

김태형

It's cheap.

박지민

What's this? If you go to a cafe. Oh, how much is it?

김태형

Isn't that two thousand won more? Be honest, you're nitpicking, you're just an excuse, you came here to drink.

박지민

bingo!!

김태형

Hey, you're just right

I glanced over and saw Taehyung shoving Jimin with his foot. Jimin let out a groan, but he simply ignored him.

The class president must have noticed that I kept staring at him and called me over.

반장

"Hey, heroine, do you want to go out for a bit? You can take them with you. The show's about to start, so it might be a good idea to watch it."

It was a welcome sound to hear!

I jumped up and winked at Taehyung, who immediately grabbed Jimin by the scruff of his neck and dragged him out.

박지민

Eeeee-!!!

이여주

Wow-! It's pretty!!

김태형

Do you like it that much?

이여주

Of course! We would never do something like this at a regular festival. Ryu is truly amazing.

박지민

Huh? You have all the albums since their debut and you don't even know that?

이여주

Ah..hahahaha

Damn it. Don't ask.

I tried to cover it up with a laugh, ordered Jimin to take his seat, and led Taehyung around here and there.

이여주

Taehyung, I have that!! That, that!

이여주

Kim Taehyung this is me!!!

이여주

Ah, Kim Taehyung, come quickly!

I treated Kim Taehyung like a pawn.

But he followed me around without saying a word and bought me everything I wanted. When I returned to the stage after having fun, the sun was already setting and the show was about to begin.

He put a takoyaki in his mouth with sparkling eyes and munched on it.

Soon the lights went out, and all I could hear was the students chattering and finding their seats. I was so focused on the stage that I didn't even notice Taehyung wiping the sauce off my mouth.

As soon as someone walked out and picked up the microphone at the very front, a spotlight flashed on him.

The students who saw the man on stage cheered, and he smiled as he accepted the cheers with ease before opening his mouth.

김석진

Are you having a good time at the festival~~?!

Yeah--!!!!!

Oh my. My eardrums almost burst.

I almost dropped the takoyaki I was holding because of the loud cheering.

김석진

Really?! Then-!!

My brother paused for a moment, glanced around the room, and chuckled.

김석진

Let's start with an exciting song--!! Stand For You!!

박지민

Wow..!! This is my first time seeing a celebrity-!

김태형

I didn't know that guy would be that popular.

이여주

...the clothes are so pretty

At my absurd answer, Taehyung's gaze turned to my brother, who was singing excitedly and bathed in bright lights. My comment about his pretty clothes was no exaggeration; he was radiant.

Finally, when we reached the highlight, my brother let out a refreshing high note, and cheers erupted here and there, and the festive atmosphere became even more fervent.

My brother sang two more songs in a row, then paused for a moment, letting some soft background music play. He then drank some water from the water dispenser in front of him. I was sitting in the front row, so I could see him clearly. My brother noticed me and smiled.

Wow. He's handsome.

It was the best because his originally handsome face was combined with sweat.

My brother took a deep breath and started talking.

김석진

Actually! The reason I came to the school festival today is...

The whole class listens.

김석진

It's my alma mater, the one I attended before I quit, and the one my younger sibling attends. That's probably why I came here with such excitement.

김석진

It's been a while since I've seen my teachers, said hello, and I'm feeling really good! So! Now, I'm going to give my younger sibling a gift.

I frowned as I focused on what my brother was saying.

A gift? What are you talking about?

김석진

My little brother really likes me! But I've been busy so I haven't been able to play with him much. So! Phew.

Who likes who?

I frowned and looked up at my brother, not understanding the situation.

Hey, there's no way you'd say that in front of people...

김석진

Heroine-!!! After the festival is over, I'll give you what you like the most, so keep it a secret~~~!!!

이여주

Oh my god! That crazy brother!!

김태형

Wow, bro. That's cool.

이여주

Why is that cool-!!!

Seolma is catching people! My face flushed red, and I jumped up to run away, but Taehyung sat me down again, forcing me to cover my face.

I heard people looking for me around me, but my brother continued on as if nothing had happened.

김석진

Shall we move on to the next song? Okay, let's go!

Fortunately, as soon as the music started, the students were busy cheering and shouting out the cheering chants just like before.

이여주

Ah... really...

김태형

I like you because you're like my older brother

이여주

What are you talking about, you're my brother

김태형

You've never been my older brother before. That's why I'm saying this. Aren't you curious about the gift?

I shook my head at that.

I was curious. What on earth was causing all this trouble?

이여주

They said they'd let me know when it's over. I can just catch them and beat them up then.

김태형

....;;

I gave a snort and focused on my brother's performance.

I don't know what the surprise event will be like, but I did it for myself.

Not wanting to ignore my brother's feelings, I was soon swept up in the heated atmosphere and enjoyed the festival.

And so, time passed.
