Chapter 430: Lily of the Valley (5)
“Seo-eun, you didn’t bring an umbrella so I ca to pick you up.”
Han Seo-eun was surprised to see her brother Da-in smiling at her, holding a black umbrella.
‘How could he, I didn’t even tell him…?’
Had he found her umbrella at the front door?
Still, she didn’t expect him to pick her up from school himself…Her heart pounded slightly for a mont.
And then, before she could open her mouth….her friends beside her jumped up and down with excitent.
“Hoo hoo. hello. I’m Shin Do-yeon, Seo-eun’s friend, I’ve heard a lot about you.”
With her red, rain-soaked short hair stuck to her face, Yeon-ji greeted with sparkling eyes.
Do-yeon smiles brightly and looks at Da-in with a curious gaze.
…Seeing such embarrassing friends, Han Seo-eun suddenly rembered.
She realized that her friends had never seen Da-in before because she had been hiding him so closely…That’s why they reacted the way they did.
Before she could yell sothing at her friends in embarrassnt Da-in laughed and opened his mouth to speak to them.
“Ahhh. Seo-eun’s friends? Nice to et you, Do-yeon and Yeon-ji. You must be the good friends Seo-eun bragged about every day. I’m Da-in, Seo-eun’s brother. It’s nice to see you in person.”
“When did I say that!!!”
…And at the next words, Seo Eun couldn’t help but shout out with her ears reddening.
Judging from the laughter of her friends next to her, she was sure to be teased for at least a week…
‘But Seo-eun’s brother is really real… I can see why Seo-Eun did what she did, right?’
‘I do. He’s so warm. There’s sothing about him that draws people in….’
…No. I stand corrected. They were already whispering and teasing among themselves. What if they hear you? Are you crazy?
Just when Seo-eun decided to get out of this place as soon as possible, Da-in spoke up at just the right ti.
“Seo-eun forgot her umbrella this morning, so I thought she might get caught in the rain… Seo-eun, do you want to go back with your friends?”
“I’m coming with you, Da-in!”
Seo-eun was surprised by Da-in’s words, so she hurried to his side in the rain.
‘Wow, look at your stop-loss speed’ ‘Seo-eun…I didn’t know she would hate getting wet this much~’ I heard voices like that, but I didn’t care…
When Seo-eun ca under Da-in’s umbrella with slightly reddened cheeks, she suddenly ca to her senses, looked up at him and asked.
“But, Da-in, what about my umbrella?”
“Huh? Oh, I only brought this one, let’s share it.”
“What?”
I asked.
Da-in’s words, spoken with an affectionate smile, made Seo-eun’s heart beat faster for a mont.
Her smart mind quickly deduced the truth.
‘We can teleport ho quickly anyway…’
He didn’t need to bring two umbrellas, he would have teleported back as soon as he t her…
Seo-eun realized the truth so quickly.
…Of course, her friends wouldn’t know about such a hidden fact.
As a result, they were the ones giggling behind her back.
“Seo-eun’s friends, it was nice to see you today. Next ti, you should co over to my house with her.”
“Really? I promise!!”
“Huh huh. I’m looking forward to it. Seo-eun, see you tomorrow~”
“Haha… Okay. See you tomorrow.”
After waving to her friends, Seo-eun walked off with Da-in.
They passed through the school gate together.
In the alleyway where the rain was falling softly, walking shoulder to shoulder with Da-in under an umbrella, Seo-eun, with her ears still red, complained to him.
“You should have called first, you can’t just show up like this.”
“Haha. I only realized it was raining when you got out of school, so I ca in a hurry. Did you not like it? Should I not co next ti?”
“…No. No, not really. Okay, okay… Thank you.”
Seo-Eun felt embarrassed and fiddled with her school uniform.
Da-in, who was looking at Seo-Eun with a smile on his face, offered her his hand.
“Here.”
It wasn’t hard for Han Seo-eun to guess the aning of the outstretched hand.
The streets were deserted, and the rain was still falling.
It must an that they should hold hands, teleport together, and go ho imdiately.
But
“No.”
“Huh…?”
Seo-Eun shook her head, looked up at Da-in and smiled.
“It’s been a long ti since we’ve had a rainy day like this, so let’s walk ho together, and we can stop at a bakery along the way and get so stale toast.”
She didn’t want to miss this ti yet, not like this.
She even made up her own reason to go back on foot.
Tilting His head, he smiled and said.
“What are you talking about?”
“What?”
“I thought we were just going to walk back together, hand in hand.”
“Aha… What?!!”
Han Seo-Eun almost jumped out of her skin at Da-in’s sudden attack.
‘Uh… Uh… Seo-eun stumbled back.’
As if he thought her reaction was cute, Da-in chuckled and lowered his hand.
“Just kidding, just kidding. Seo-eun’s reactions are always funny, aren’t they?”
“……”
“Okay, like you said, let’s walk ho today. The sound of the rain is soothing. Oh, shouldn’t I have brought another umbrella if I knew it was going to be like this?”
“…Hmm. Forget it, you’re just teasing .”
With a red face and puffed out cheeks, Da-in could only laugh at Seo-eun’s words.
I’m a fool for expecting it, a fool.
With such a puffy face, Seo-eun walked under Da-in’s umbrella.
She put her arm around Da-in’s arm, feeling like she didn’t know what to do.
“Huh?”
“Hey, let’s go like this, because your umbrella is small and my shoulders are getting wet, huh.”
By the way, Da-in’s umbrella was very large, assuming he would share it with Seo-eun.
But Da-in just smiled and nodded his head slightly, as if he didn’t care.
And so they walked down the alley, arm in arm.
The rain pattering on their umbrella, water trickling down the ivy on the stone wall beside them, the warmth of her brother’s body against her arm, enhanced by the slightly chilly air under the gray sky made Seo-eun sigh involuntarily as the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
‘These mories with Da-in, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to forget them.’
***
After I returned ho with Seo-Eun, I stretched out on the couch for a while, drinking mango juice.
“Da-in. Can I have so of that ice cream?”
“Yes, eat it.”
“Yeah~”
I smirked as I heard Seo-eun’s voice from behind .
I had left the house this morning when I realized that Seo-eun had forgotten the umbrella I had left on the porch.
Unexpectedly, it was a good thing that she t her friends. I recognize their faces from the photos she showed , but I think they’re still good friends in person.
‘Especially Seo-eun was cute…’
When I joked about holding hands with her, I thought she would say, “Do I still look like a kid?” but it was funny how she laughed at my conversion joke.
Anyway, by the way…
“Mango…? While you’re at it. Let’s check out my fan cafe.
I suddenly thought of that and turned on my smartphone.
I realized that I’d only seen Seo-eun’s, but I’d never been inside.
I wondered what kind of people like . I went to the popular posts category of the fan cafe to find out.
