I'm living with a vampire
12. Just wait a minute.


Taehyung, unable to resist the woman's beckoning him to leave quickly, eventually staggered out. In truth, Taehyung, already deeply in love with her, couldn't possibly win her over. Why? Isn't there a saying that the one who loves more always loses?


์์ฌ์ฃผ
Hey Jeongguk, what's going on?


์ ์ ๊ตญ
Sister


์ ์ ๊ตญ
I think I'm working really hard, right? But... it's not going as planned...

The female protagonist said while stroking Jeongguk's head.


์์ฌ์ฃผ
Don't worry, that's just how it is at that age. I was like that too, wasn't I?


์ ์ ๊ตญ
But I'm really serious...


์ ์ ๊ตญ
If you solve 10 problems, you might get 5 of them right.


์์ฌ์ฃผ
If you start now, it won't be too late.


์ ์ ๊ตญ
...I'm in the first year of high school. Is that okay?

The heroine paused for a moment and then spoke.


์์ฌ์ฃผ
...You just gave up on studying?

At the female protagonist's words, Jeongguk spoke confidently.


์ ์ ๊ตญ
yes.


์์ฌ์ฃผ
Yeah, well... that could be possible!


์ ์ ๊ตญ
If Yoon Ki-hyung just told me the CSAT answers, everything would be fine, but he said he wouldn't tell me!


์์ฌ์ฃผ
Jungkook


์ ์ ๊ตญ
yes?


์์ฌ์ฃผ
Should I help you study, sister?


์ ์ ๊ตญ
Really?


์์ฌ์ฃผ
Sure! It's true


์์ฌ์ฃผ
Of course, listening to you, the regular admissions process is a total failure, so let's go crazy with the regular admissions process.


์ ์ ๊ตญ
But I'm in the middle right now, is that okay?

The female protagonist said while holding Jeongguk's hand.


์์ฌ์ฃผ
This older sister will buy you food. Let's go.


์ ์ ๊ตญ
hamburger?


์์ฌ์ฃผ
Why? You don't like it?


์ ์ ๊ตญ
That's not it... Seokjin hyung won't let me eat that because it's bad for my health.

The female protagonist said as she pushed the hamburger towards Jeongguk.


์์ฌ์ฃผ
Don't worry, test taker. Let's finish this and go buy some books.

Jungkook stared at the hamburger, and Yeoju snickered and unwrapped the paper that wrapped the hamburger.


์์ฌ์ฃผ
You can do this too, right, Young Master?

Jungkook quickly shook his head and took a bite of his burger. After one bite, he made a face like he was in heaven, then quickly finished the whole thing. Yeoju even handed him hers.


์ ์ ๊ตญ
Wow... thank you, sister

Jungkook sent the female protagonist a moved look, took a sip of his cola, and went back to eating his hamburger.


์ ์ ๊ตญ
Yes, I agree. Hmm, can I rent that really heavy Mongbado?

Jungkook's pronunciation was completely ruined as he spoke in a stammering voice. The woman couldn't help but chuckle at how hamster-like he looked.


์์ฌ์ฃผ
Eat everything and tell me everything you want to eat

Jungkook laughed awkwardly and Yeoju said while putting ketchup on her fries.


์์ฌ์ฃผ
If you're going for regular admission, you don't need early admission. And since early admission is based on your GPA, even if you get a 1.0, you might still miss out on a good college.

Jungkook thought about his grades for a moment, then remembered that he couldn't see them and shivered.


์ ์ ๊ตญ
I really think Seokjin hyung is too much


์์ฌ์ฃผ
why?


์ ์ ๊ตญ
You won't even let me eat this delicious hamburger. You're talking about my grades.


์์ฌ์ฃผ
Those are the things you can say as a guardian.


์ ์ ๊ตญ
I don't need a guardian!


์ ์ ๊ตญ
I'm older than you?


์ ์ ๊ตญ
Oh, of course, in human years, he would be 19 years old.


์ ์ ๊ตญ
But do you know who I'm really scared of?


์์ฌ์ฃผ
Who is it?


์ ์ ๊ตญ
Taehyung is my older brother! He killed his own father!


์ ์ ๊ตญ
Oh my... This family really has no blood or tears.

Jeongguk said everything he wanted to say and only then did he come to his senses.


์ ์ ๊ตญ
What, what did I say...?

Instead of answering, Jeongguk looked at the shocked face of the female lead.


์ ์ ๊ตญ
Sister... I'm sorry...


์ ์ ๊ตญ
Please forget...


์์ฌ์ฃผ
'So... you knew how to kill a vampire.'


์ ์ ๊ตญ
Sister, how do you like this book?


์์ฌ์ฃผ
Uh... pick, pick...


์์ฌ์ฃผ
"Why would he kill his own father? Well... not everyone is as kind as my father."

It was at that time that memories of her father flashed through Yeoju's mind like a panorama.

At that moment, the scene of the accident that day flashed before my eyes. My mother, already cold, and my dying father, embracing me and telling me how much he loved me.

The heroine smiled bitterly and put artificial tears in her eyes.

At that moment, Jeongguk grabbed Yeoju's shoulder and called her.


์ ์ ๊ตญ
Sister! I really need you to buy this children's book...


์ ์ ๊ตญ
Wait, are you crying, sister?

Before I knew it, (artificial) tears had fallen from the female protagonist's eyes.


์ ์ ๊ตญ
Why? What's going on? Where does it hurt?


์์ฌ์ฃผ
Huh? No, no... It's okay

Jeongguk sighed deeply and hugged Yeoju tightly.


์ ์ ๊ตญ
Then just stay like this until things calm down a bit.


์์ฌ์ฃผ
.....


์์ฌ์ฃผ
Jungkook, are these artificial tears?


์ ์ ๊ตญ
Yeah, I know.

Yeoju said, pushing Jeongguk away.


์์ฌ์ฃผ
This is what you call being a fox, Jungkook

Jeongguk said with a chuckle.


์ ์ ๊ตญ
It's not a crime for a fox to act like a fox, right?

The female protagonist patted Jeong-guk's shoulder as he spoke with a sly tone.


์์ฌ์ฃผ
Do you speak naturally?

Jeongguk just smiled brightly and went to pay for the reference book that Yeoju had chosen.


์ ์ ๊ตญ
Aren't you coming, sister?


์ ์ ๊ตญ
Then I'll go first

Still, Jeongguk's expression and reddened ears, which were quite flustered at seeing himself shed tears, made him feel like he was mistaken in thinking that he was really crying.


์์ฌ์ฃผ
Jeon Jungkook is cute
