Real Man

Chapter 148:

Chapter 148

Life doesn’t always go according to plan.

No matter how well you plan, you can’t do anything in the face of a natural disaster.

It was a weekend and he wanted to rest, but his sister’s visit was equivalent to that.

Han Jae-hee, who opened the door of Yoo-hyun’s studio apartment, said.

“Wow, this is pretty neat for a guy living alone.”

“Are you talking like you’ve been to a guy’s room alone?”

“No, no, I haven’t.”

“…”

Why is he getting angry?

Yoo-hyun was more upset by his sister’s words than her sudden appearance at his home.

That’s when Han Jae-hee took the initiative.

“Also, stop making weird noises like Yang-shi-ni or whatever.”

“It’s really not like that.”

“Are you trying to kill me?”

Yoo-hyun sighed with relief as he saw Han Jae-hee’s eyes widen.

She didn’t seem to have met her trashy ex-husband yet.

A lot had changed, so there was a possibility that she wouldn’t meet him in the future.

That was the most desirable situation, but life was unpredictable.

He decided to look after her as a brother until she found a decent guy.

As Yoo-hyun was making a vow to himself, Han Jae-hee blurted out.

“Enough, let’s go now.”

“Where?”

“Where do you think? Don’t you remember? I said I’d buy you clothes.”

Chapter 148 (continued)

“I gave you money. Go buy it yourself.”

Han Jae-hee fiercely retorted to Yoo-hyun’s words.

“I don’t know this area at all.”

“Seriously.”

He was stern a moment ago, and now he’s acting up?

“Let’s go. Huh? You have a good sense of style, right?”

What the heck?

Is he trying to be cute now?

Yoo-hyun rolled his tongue as he saw Han Jae-hee smugly hooking her arm around his.

He felt like he was being taken advantage of, but he also thought it was not so bad.

He recalled his relationship with his sister in the past, which was only bleak and dull. Compared to that, things were much better now.

He knew that Han Jae-hee was making an effort for that.

Yeah. Let’s do the brotherly thing for once.

Yoo-hyun nodded his head as he saw Han Jae-hee giggling next to him, looking happy.

He decided to act like a brother for once.

That’s why he followed her to wherever she wanted to go, even though he didn’t need to go far to buy clothes.

“Jang Hye-min senior invited you too, you know. You can’t just wear anything. Help me pick something.”

“Fine. Wait here.”

He even went around with her and helped her choose clothes.

He remembered that he had picked his mother’s clothes by himself. From Yoo-hyun’s perspective, he was being very considerate.

He was confident in his fashion sense, so he thought he could satisfy her.

But he realized too late.

“Hey, can you stop already? This is fine.”

“Just one more place.”

“That’s already the hundredth time.”

“Just a little more.”

He could only do the brotherly thing for someone who listened to him.

He had been looking at clothes for over two hours, and Yoo-hyun was frustrated.

“You clearly like it, so why do you say you don’t?”

“No, no. I like it, but not this one.”

Even though he had picked it well, and she had a satisfied expression, his sister shook her head.

Han Jae-hee picked another piece of clothing and asked.

“Brother, how about this one?”

“That’s the same as the one you saw before. You said you didn’t like it.”

“No. It’s a little different.”

She said that again, even though it was obviously the same.

How could she draw pictures with those eyes?

Yoo-hyun wondered, when Han Jae-hee grabbed his arm and pulled him.

“Ah, there. Let’s go there.”

“We’ve been here before.”

“No. The clothes on the DP weren’t that one before. Right? Manager?”

“Yes. We changed the mannequin clothes a while ago.”

“See? I was right.”

“You saw that one before, you know?”

It was just hanging on a hanger.

He didn’t want to argue anymore, since too much time had passed.

Yoo-hyun checked the time and waved his hand.

“Fine, just try it on.”

“Okay. I’ll be right back.”

Han Jae-hee took the clothes and ran into the fitting room.

He thought it was time for her to come out, but the door didn’t show any sign of opening.

Today, as he hung out with Han Jae-hee, Yoo-hyun realized something.

Never again.

He would never come again.

Yoo-hyun vowed deeply in his heart.

Click.

The door finally opened, and Han Jae-hee showed herself.

She wore a neat blouse with a jacket and coat that matched well.

The skirt was a bit short for the cold weather, but it was acceptable.

He didn’t want to waste any more time.

“Okay. It’s very nice.”

“Really? The jacket isn’t too big? I don’t look too fat?”

“No. Absolutely not. How can you look fat in this? You look like a model.”

Yoo-hyun moistened his mouth and said, and Han Jae-hee tilted her head.

“Doesn’t the pin look like a flower? Isn’t it too flashy?”

“It looks like a flower because you’re wearing it. It suits you very well.”

“…Brother, it seems like you’re just trying to get rid of me.”

When did she become so quick-witted?

Yoo-hyun hid his embarrassed feeling and said.

“How could I do that? I wouldn’t do that even if I was wasting time.”

“Then look at my back. Do I look elegant like a corporate employee?”

“…Yeah. You look classy.”

“Yeah? Do I have the vibe of a designer who started from the bottom and succeeded?”

“What are you talking about?”

Yoo-hyun was surprised, and Han Jae-hee said something unexpected.

“No, I want to have the vibe of success from the bottom like Jang senior. Isn’t that cooler than a silver spoon?”

“…”

Yoo-hyun was speechless for a moment.

His sister seemed to be delusional.

Was the word success from the bottom applicable to Jang Hye-min senior?

She was a super silver spoon among the silver spoons.

Yoo-hyun didn’t even bother to argue.

“That’s cool…Let’s go with that.”

“Just a minute. Let me look around one more time.”

“…”

Yoo-hyun was silent again.

When they finished shopping and went outside, the sun was already setting.

Han Jae-hee was in a good mood, and she bought a lot of soju bottles and juice and came to Yoo-hyun’s house.

“Brother, I’m here.”

“Are you staying here?”

“It’s not like the house will wear out if you let me stay for a day.”

“Yeah. I was prepared since you came up suddenly.”

“Good. You have a good sense, brother.”

As Yoo-hyun answered resignedly, Han Jae-hee entered the house and threw her coat in a corner.

She unpacked the things she bought on the island bar in the kitchen, and then started rummaging through the fridge.

And then she nagged at him.

“What? There’s no snack.”

“Just eat whatever. You had dinner already.”

“Does that make sense?”

“It does.”

“How can you drink without a snack? Wait here. I’ll prepare something.”

Han Jae-hee moved around, grumbling.

She was surprisingly quick with her hands.

She took out eggs and cheese from the fridge and made some dishes.

Yoo-hyun, who had changed his clothes, looked at her with curious eyes.

As if reading his thoughts, Han Jae-hee put the food on the island bar and said.

“I’ve been living alone for two years, you know.”

“You had fun.”

“Yeah. Until you gave me work.”

“…”

He was speechless.

Glug glug glug.

Soju and juice were poured into the empty glass in front of Yoo-hyun.

The color should have been dark, but it was pale because of the ratio of soju.

Han Jae-hee took a sip and opened her mouth slowly.

“Thank you, brother. I survived thanks to you.”

“Huh?”

“Of course, if you didn’t give me work, I wouldn’t have been in such a crisis.”

Han Jae-hee lifted the corners of her mouth, and he felt a sudden chill.

‘Was it hard?’

He could tell from the emails he had received that it was a lot of work.

Yoo-hyun hid his embarrassed expression and held out his glass.

“Shall we drink?”

“You know the first shot is a one-shot, right?”

Han Jae-hee emptied the glass as soon as she finished speaking.

Even Park Seung-woo, who was a heavy drinker, didn’t drink like that.

He remembered the time he drank whiskey with him at his hometown.

His sister was rude then.

Yoo-hyun stopped Han Jae-hee, who was filling the glass again.

“Stop drinking. You’ll die if you drink this.”

“It’s okay. It’s just a drink when you mix it.”

She didn’t seem to care.

And soon after.

As expected, Han Jae-hee’s drunkenness began.

“Hey, Han Yoo-hyun. How could you do that to me?”

“Again, what is it?”

Yoo-hyun sighed inwardly and ate the scrambled eggs that Han Jae-hee had made.

It was surprisingly tasty.

She had some cooking skills.

Yoo-hyun deliberately turned his eyes away, but Han Jae-hee didn’t stop.

“You bought me an expensive tablet just to use me up, right?”

“No. It’s not that.”

Yoo-hyun filled the empty glass with juice.

He meant to drink alcohol, but it was impossible from the start.

Han Jae-hee slapped his hand and poured more soju.

The transparent liquid swirled in the large glass.

She must be living for today.

“Ha… Do you know how many hours I slept a day because of that? I even postponed my school assignments.”

“You worked hard.”

“But what’s the point? You said I didn’t have to do it if I couldn’t. You said that to make me angry, right?”

“No. Why would I do that?”

Yoo-hyun recalled the phone call with Han Jae-hee.

The words he said to stimulate her were anger to his sister.

He gave her a decent reward, but that wasn’t important at all.

Han Jae-hee’s barrage of words continued.

“Screw the money. I almost went crazy. Do you think that’s comforting?”

“Did you?”

“Why don’t you say something with your smart mouth?”

“Well, Jang Hye-min senior really liked your design, right? You got recognized by a great person.”

“Jang Hye-min senior? Kkkkkk. Hahahaha.”

Han Jae-hee laughed like crazy, holding her stomach.

She didn’t forget to empty the glass in the meantime.

‘I hope she doesn’t do this at school.’

Yoo-hyun was genuinely worried about his sister.

Han Jae-hee looked at Yoo-hyun with her mouth wide open.

“Wow… I never knew there was someone more ruthless than you, brother.”

“Yeah, kind of.”

Well, Jang Hye-min senior was ruthless.

There was no one who could endure under her in reality.

Yoo-hyun nodded his head, and Han Jae-hee sneered.

“How can you expect someone to produce results in a day? I asked my seniors, you know? They all said you were insane.”

“…”

“But I was stupid and naive and did it anyway. I thought I would die if I didn’t sleep, but I didn’t.”

“You did well.”

“Yeah. I deserved to be invited. You’ll see tomorrow. I’ll make a big noise.”

Han Jae-hee pounded her chest and shouted, then emptied the full glass.

Thud.

Then she suddenly sprawled her upper body on the island bar.

She looked like she had been shot and fallen.

Yoo-hyun slapped her cheek, just in case.

Then Han Jae-hee muttered to herself.

“Mmm, mmm. I had a hard time…”

She was excited to meet Jang Hye-min senior and bought clothes, but she was sharpening her knife inside.

Yoo-hyun chuckled.

He guessed why Jang Hye-min senior called Han Jae-hee.

It was to give her more work with the company.

There would be some compensation, but it seemed like it could be poison to his sister, seeing how she felt.

Yoo-hyun hoped she would do what she wanted.

“Do whatever you want. There must be another way.”

And the next day.

Yoo-hyun met Jang Hye-min senior with Han Jae-hee at the Baekje Hotel restaurant.
