19 – Are you home?

I looked out the window at the sound of heavy rain.

It was pouring rain outside.

The rainy season started early, but the rain came and went, and now it seems to be pouring in earnest. There was also a forecast that the rain would continue for more than a week.

Thanks to that, the atmosphere in the classroom feels slumped. Now, in this classroom, no one was talking and everyone was silent.

Actually, it wasn’t just because of the rain.

Well, it’s exam time now.

Korean subject test time. As if they don’t want to see it raining all the way to the test papers, the classmates are looking at the test papers here and there. There are some kids who gave up and fell flat.

Because I am confident in my Korean language, I solved everything early. This is the final subject of this exam. After about 10 minutes, all tests were over.

Would you think about what to do if an assailant invades your classroom during the remaining time?

I made up my mind.

“… ….”

I felt a warm gaze from the seat on the left.

When I looked sideways, Ina was staring at me very intently. He glared at my cheeks with his grinning face. It was exactly the same expression as when he was planning a prank.

I don’t care if you’re kidding or not, but it’s exam time.

Usually, it is a situation that is suspected of cheating. However, the teacher did not even point out a word even after looking at this side. Considering Ina’s usual behavior, it couldn’t be.

Rather, the teacher started looking at me suspiciously. I’m not wrong Please don’t look at me with those eyes.

Well, I know very well that Ina doesn’t intend to cheat. Even if I am confident in my Korean language, it is not enough for Ina to copy my answers.

Then, if you ask me why I am watching…… I’m not sure about that.

Looking back, it seems like I’ve been sending this kind of gaze over and over again for the past few days.

Are you plotting something again?

The bell rang and the teacher took away the answer sheet.

Since the exam period is over, the classroom is buzzing as the kids talk about this and that. There are no eyes looking this way. Taking advantage of this gap, she decided to talk to Ina.

“Why did you keep looking at me during the exam?”

“No. Didn’t you see it?”

Ina vigorously shook her head.

“No, what? Be honest. Did you see it?”

“Are you being honest?”

Dawnina held out her flippers and crossed her arms.

“And even if I did, how would you know?”

“Huh?”

“Did you look at me during the test? Did you want to look at me during the exam? Did you miss my face that much?”

“No, wait a minute. Why is this suddenly my fault?”

In an instant, the situation was reversed. She was speechless as she watched Inna smile and reply.

Of course, it is normal for Ina to see me. Let’s say she just had nothing to do, so she was thinking about what to tease me with. Maybe that’s right

She put on her bag and spoke her words.

“What, then? Are you going to go bankrupt today?”

Because I am busy at the end of the semester, I don’t usually publish newspapers. If Ina doesn’t go, she has nothing to do even if she dares to go.

“Um~ I’m not going today.”

After thinking for a while, he answered.

“I have a place to go today.”

“Is that so? I must go home too.”

Since the exams are over, I wanted to go somewhere to play, but I’m a little tired because I crammed myself in my own way. Besides, it’s raining, so it’s better to go home early and rest today.

However, Ina was somewhat startled.

“Uh, are you going to do that?”

“Uh, to do that. Can’t you?”

“It’s not impossible… ….”

Isn’t that a bad thing? “Ah,” She said as she thought of Ina as she waited to see what she would say next.

Then he takes out her cell phone.

“Over there. I have a busy job. Can I go quickly?”

“Well, yes. Then see you next week.”

“…… Huh.”

After answering that, Ina waved her hand and she hurried past.

Did you suddenly come up with a busy business? Then there is no reason to hold her, but today her behavior feels strange in many ways.

Well, it didn’t happen for a day or two that Ina’s behavior was strange. Deciding not to think deeply, I left the classroom.

As she was walking toward the school gate, her cell phone vibrated.

When I checked, there was a KakaoTalk message from my sister.

[Buy some ingredients to make side dishes.]

Suddenly running errands?

[What should I buy?]

Not long after, the reply came back.

[Cabbage, shampoo, aaa batteries, and sunscreen.]

Hmmm, what the heck are you planning on making a grotesque…… ?

[What kind of food are you going to make?]

[Stop worrying and buy it.]

How to get off your nerve. If I made it, the place I would enter would be my mouth. I’ll endure the tasteless food, but I can’t eat the batteries.

I was writing a reply to ask questions, but one more message arrived from my sister.

[I’ll give you pocket money.]

[Yes. Sister.]

I quickly accepted it before I changed my mind. It is a good law not to say unnecessary things to the person who gives you money. By the way

&

I went to the large mart and bought the items my sister asked for, but it took quite a bit of time. It was because I was wandering around looking for things that didn’t fit at all, including cabbage, shampoo, batteries, and sunscreen.

Anyway, since I bought it as instructed, I’ll give you some pocket money. My older sister rarely tells lies, even if she does play pranks on her. It would be nice to believe.

I arrived at the front door, entered the door lock password, and opened the door.

“Now, I bought some errands.”

As I spoke while wielding an envelope, the answer came back from inside the house.

“Have you been?”

“Yes. …… Huh?”

I heard a voice tickling my ear with cotton wool.

That voice was a voice I had heard until recently, a voice that couldn’t be heard in my house, no, it was a voice that shouldn’t be heard.

I slowly raised my head.

And there.

“Whoops. Hi?”

Ina, wearing an apron over her school uniform, was smiling broadly.

“Uh, uh, uh…… ?”

For a moment, I was speechless.

What is it? Did I come to Ina’s house by any chance? No, I pressed the password for the door lock. Are Ina’s house and my house using the same password? Or maybe a portal is open…….

Of course not.

If you think about it calmly, this is my house, and it’s just that Ina is at my house.

…… No, even if I think about it calmly, I don’t know why Ina is in my house.

I barely came to my senses after letting out a sound that didn’t make sense.

“Yes, you, why are you here?”

“Ah~ That’s right~”

As Inna begins her explanation, brushing her hair with her fingers awkwardly, someone grabs Inna’s shoulder from behind her.

“I called.”

The person who said that was my older sister.

“What?”

When she frowned and asked back, her sister crossed her arms.

“You look like you don’t understand English, right?”

“It’s because I don’t know English.”

My sister snorted at me like that.

“Listen. I’m the former head of the newspaper department, right? So, as a junior in my high school and as a member of the newspaper club I inherited, I invited this child. Common sense, right? There’s no corner to look at, right? Yes?”

“Yes. Yes.”

Ina helped. That’s bullsh*t.

After a while, Ina and her sister looked at each other and started to laugh.

Seeing that made her even more confused.

When did you become so close? No Did you ever know each other? But she said she didn’t know her sister? It was the first time I heard that I have an older sister and that my older sister was the head of the newspaper department last year.

As if she had read my question, my sister put her hand on her waist and smiled triumphantly.

“Actually, I was contacting you behind the scenes without you knowing.”

“Why are you doing that?”

“I think you are hiding something. Did you tell me then?”

Then…… Was it the day I ignored Ina’s phone call?

“So she thought she wanted to face the person in person. So I contacted a junior I know and got a phone number. That’s how it arrived today.”

It seems like they’re plotting something, but I never thought they’d do something like this. I never thought that I would approach Ina directly. I underestimated my older sister’s power of intelligence and ability to act.

Ina adds to that.

“I kept it a secret to surprise you today. I’m sorry~”

I can’t believe it’s the tone of an apologetic person.

Is this the reason Ina’s behavior today was suspicious?

There was also something strange about her errand she just went to. Come to think of it, it was clear that she was trying to buy time to avoid overlapping with Inna.

I clutched my head.

“Oh, well, yes. I was really surprised. So you can stop now. Now, you go home too.”

Because my older sister did such a useless thing, Ina has no choice but to follow suit. The plan to surprise me turned out to be a success. Now I can go home too.

But the older sister tilted her head.

“How do you say that?”

“…… Huh?”

“Why are you trying to kick out the guest I invited?”

“No, that is…” ….”

Uh huh? It’s not the flow I expected. I was dumbfounded and looked at Ina and her older sister alternately, so my older sister tapped Ina on the shoulder.

“This child is going to sleep over at my house today.”

“What?”

She turned her gaze to Ina. Then she smiled at Ina.

From noble mtl dot com

“It’s true~”

She said in a light tone, as if it was nothing.

“Going to sleep. Not even getting permission from her mom and her dad?”

“Huh? What are you talking about? Of course she was allowed.”

No, why did you allow this, mom and dad?

“Whoops. So, there is no place to retreat now.”

My sister waved her fingers in a cheerful rhythm as if conducting.

Everything went back to my sister’s command, and I was playing in her hands. Even without my knowledge at all.

Seeing such a large-scale prank, it seems that noona is right for me as an authority on prank machines.

I was in despair, but Ina smiled.

“Ahahahaha. Then I’ll have to say hello again.”

And then in a sweet voice.

“Are you home, Mr. Seo?”

“…… What kind of West are you?”

I let out a sigh as I saw Ina and my sister laughing in pairs.
