Chapter 37: My sister was clearly an extra, but why is she becoming the main character?

“So.”

Thud.

“I didn’t look at any texts or calls, so you came to my house… Is that how I should understand it?”

When I summarized the story I had heard so far, resting my chin on my hand, Yoon Sejeong became teary-eyed.

“Hayeon-ah… When you say it like that, it sounds like I’m some kind of vicious stalker….”

“Aren’t you?”

“Gasp, I’m sorry….”

“Hmm….”

…For now, I roughly heard the story of how the two of them came to my house.

It started after I got in Lee Seorin’s car and parted ways.

After that, since I didn’t hear anything from me, Sohee and Jia made an impromptu plan to visit my house.

Yoon Sejeong felt like joining them, and she planned to ask me what happened with the Student Council President today, and stay overnight at my house.

‘Because those two know where my house is.’

Since I invited them to my house once in middle school, there were times when they suddenly came around in the afternoon, so I wasn’t surprised by that idea itself.

The real question was why Yoon Sejeong and Baek Ahra were here instead of the two who had guided her to my home.

-They were both caught trying to stay out overnight while packing their things at home….

And that question was quickly answered by Sejeong’s words.

‘They got caught.’

Because of the incident in middle school, their parents had become stricter, as the two had confided in me before.

‘Even if you’re a delinquent at a young ladies’ academy, you’re just a kid tied to your family.’

My house is very free.

Otherwise, how could my parents leave my sister and me alone and go abroad, even if it was for work?

‘They knew that, so they tried to put into practice staying out overnight at my house….’

What parent would allow their daughter to stay out overnight on the spot?

So those two were eliminated from the plan and couldn’t come to my house.

That leaves two questions.

“How did you find my house?”

First of all, how did Yoon Sejeong, who had never been to my house, find my house?

“…The two of them told me to go ahead first.”

Saying that, Yoon Sejeong showed me the message room, where the directions to my house were shared.

It was a group chat room of four people, including me, and I could have easily checked it on my phone.

…I should have looked sooner.

“Then what about Baek Ahra?”

And second, why did Baek Ahra suddenly come to my house?

“Ahra is….”

It was when Yoon Sejeong was about to answer my question.

“Sejeong suddenly texted me that she was going to stay overnight at your house, so I came to stop her.”

“Really?”

“How strict are our dormitory overnight stay standards?”

“Hmm….”

‘That’s right.’

There’s no way that it’s free for a dormitory student to spend a night outside the dormitory at a young ladies’ academy, and Yoon Sejeong was a member of that dormitory.

In that case, she can’t stay out overnight carelessly.

Especially as a transfer student who is attending school on a scholarship, it would be very difficult if she caused even a small accident.

If there’s a disqualification, she could be dropped from the scholarship review that is held every year at the end of the year.

Not only that, unless you have a certain amount of family backing, you will be greatly pressured by even one thing that can be held against you at this school.

That was one of the logic of ‘Kim Hayeon’, who threatened Yoon Sejeong in the original.

“Then you’re not staying overnight and going back?”

Fortunately.

It was quite late now, and if she wasn’t staying overnight, it was time to go back.

“No…well.”

Baek Ahra trailed off at my question.

‘Why is she doing that.’

Surely, not?

She just said that the overnight stay standards were strict?

“…….”

I stare into Baek Ahra’s eyes.

“…….”

Then, Baek Ahra couldn’t meet my eyes and avoided them little by little.

“…Are you staying overnight?”

At the words I uttered with a certain intuition, Baek Ahra nodded slightly.

“I just told the dorm supervisor, and we got permission for both of us to stay out overnight. I got scolded a little.”

This girl?

“You said it was strict.”

“I somehow managed that part with the trust I’ve built up so far and my position as the Disciplinary Committee President.”

At Baek Ahra’s somewhat proud tone, I felt the headache I had in the morning come back.

“…Wait a minute. Then Baek Ahra, you’re staying overnight too?”

“How can I go back to the dormitory alone, leaving only Sejeong?”

“No, didn’t you say you came to stop Yoon Sejeong?”

Does this girl not know that there is something strange when all the words she says are put together?

The kid who said she came to stop Yoon Sejeong, said that it was late, so she would rather stay out overnight at my house?

Even using the trust she has built up so far?

‘…Was Baek Ahra originally like this?’

The Baek Ahra I knew was a determined and principled child.

Even if I don’t go to the original, even just last week….

‘…Huh?’

Why is it that the more I look back on last week, the less credibility it has?

The situations I met Baek Ahra were all strange, but….

‘….’

…It’s probably because it’s related to Yoon Sejeong?

It wouldn’t make sense otherwise, so I decided to believe it.

“…Sigh. Okay, well….”

I looked at the clock again.

The hands of the clock were already pointing towards 9 o’clock.

If they go to school from here, they will arrive just in time for the roll call at 10 o’clock, but it will be difficult to enter the school.

‘There’s nothing I can do.’

I acknowledged.

The fact that the incident had already happened.

“…I’ll say it again, I just came here because I was worried about Sejeong? It’s really just that, so don’t, d-don’t misunderstand.”

“…Misunderstand?”

“The way you’re looking at me is suspicious….”

Hmm.

Was it that obvious?

“I thought you were similar, since you came in together and are staying overnight, even though you couldn’t stop her.”

“That…I have nothing to say to that….”

“But?”

“Unnie (older sister). I told both of them to stay overnight at home together first.”

Thud.

On the wide table, a silver tray containing four glasses of juice is placed.

“Here, juice.”

I don’t know when she brought it, but Siyeon brought four glasses of juice and placed them in front of each of us.

“I’m grateful, but…Siyeon, did you tell them to stay overnight?”

“Yes. Ahra-unnie and Sejeong-unnie were standing in front of the door, so I let them in first, and while we were playing together, Unnie didn’t come and it was late, so I suggested it. At least you should meet, right?”

Siyeon answered my question with a grin.

If Siyeon suggested it first, it’s hard for me to say anything more.

“…Have you already introduced yourselves?”

“Of course. I already knew Ahra-unnie because I saw her before, and I just met Sejeong-unnie today, but…we even played games together. Right, Unnie?”

“Huh? Th-That’s right?”

Yoon Sejeong is flustered and affirms my sister’s words.

It was like seeing an insider tell an outsider that they were close, and I had a slight question.

‘…Was she originally so sociable?’

When Sohee and Jia came to visit in middle school, she felt more like a wary cat, but now she was like a gentle puppy who didn’t know what caution was.

In addition, the way she smiled was different from the calm expression she usually smiled with.

Her eyes sparkled as she grinned, as if she were a fan who had met a celebrity she had liked since before.

‘…Well, she asked me to tell her the stories of what happened with the kids every evening.’

They hadn’t met face-to-face, but I thought that my sister might have some internal intimacy with me for a week.

“Ah, we haven’t eaten the popcorn yet? Since Unnie is here, let’s eat and talk.”

Siyeon ripped open the unopened bag of caramel popcorn with a familiar hand and spread it on the table.

“…Okay, let’s do that. Thank you.”

I was craving something sweet, so I immediately reached for the popcorn.

Yoon Sejeong and Baek Ahra glanced at me for a moment, and when I put a popcorn in my mouth, they immediately picked one up and ate it.

“Is it delicious?”

…Nod nod.

Seeing those cute appearances, I felt the discomfort of the uninvited guests disappear a little.

Like that, the number of people in the house, which was only two, temporarily doubled.

‘I’m sorry to Unnie.’

In fact, I was 90% responsible for bringing the two of them into the house.

-What should we do, Ahra?

-If your sister isn’t here, let’s just go back. It’s because we’re in front of a house where no one is….

If I had arrived home a little later, the two of them would have just gone back, but,

-Wait, wait a minute!

Fortunately, I arrived home at the right time and found the two in front of the house, and I succeeded in bringing Baek Ahra and Yoon Sejeong into the house.

Once I got home, I acted like a good sister so that the two of them wouldn’t go back, and I tried to listen to as many stories as I could while holding them back from going back to the dormitory.

However, it was hard to even ask the most important things.

For example, why did Yoon Sejeong’s eyes regain normal vision, even though the incident related to Unnie hasn’t happened yet?

And, what happened between Baek Ahra and Unnie that she even came to visit the house?

These were the parts I wanted to know the most, but I couldn’t even think of asking because they were very sensitive parts.

So, I told them to stay overnight.

I wondered if I could find out other things by facing Unnie and talking.

But….

Now that we’re sitting around like this, the atmosphere was very different from what I thought it would be.

‘Both of them seem to be…only paying attention to Unnie.’

Yoon Sejeong was really easy to understand, and all her attention was on Unnie.

The way her dazzlingly shining face due to her makeup rose and fell with every single glance of Unnie was reminiscent of a puppy.

‘Based on the original, Yoon Sejeong’s expression wouldn’t be this rich at this time.’

In the original, Yoon Sejeong hits rock bottom due to Kim Hayeon and those two bullying her, and gradually recovers with Baek Ahra’s salvation and Lee Seorin’s embrace.

But now, Yoon Sejeong was making a happy expression just by looking at Unnie’s face, as if she had reached the ending.

‘Baek Ahra too….’

Based on the original, the two are in the worst conflict relationship.

I know that the two of them haven’t talked much since middle school, but what the hell happened on the weekend when Unnie said she met Baek Ahra, the cold atmosphere like the winter wind was as soft as the spring breeze.

‘Unnie, what the hell are you doing….’

For this kind of change to come out, what she told me was not enough.

What the hell happened among the things she didn’t tell me, that those two are making faces like girls in love with Unnie like that?

‘Is she aware of it….’

No way.

If she was, Unnie wouldn’t be sitting between those two and eating popcorn so peacefully.

Besides,

‘…Today Unnie said she played with the Student Council President?’

Wow.

‘Unnie is really amazing….’

The heart of the younger sister, who is watching in real time the appearance of her older sister who transcends the destruction flag and even sets up a harem flag, was extremely complicated.
