Her younger sister had gone through a dramatic change in a short period of time.
The results she had achieved were also astounding.
No matter how bold her personality was, she couldn’t help feeling pressured.
That was why she avoided Yoo-hyun before drinking, and why she said she was crazy after drinking.
This time, Yoo-hyun offered her a glass first.
“You’ve worked hard.”
“Brother, just take the money. It’s yours.”
Han Jae Hee said with a determined expression as she clinked glasses with him.
Her hand holding the glass was trembling, as if she was reluctant to part with it.
Yoo-hyun hid his true feelings and reached out his hand.
“Okay. Give it to me.”
“Huh? I thought you wouldn’t take it.”
Han Jae Hee’s voice trembled as well.
Yoo-hyun suppressed his laughter and said,
“I didn’t know you cared so much about me.”
“I did. But I used some of it.”
At Han Jae Hee’s words, Yoo-hyun finally burst into laughter.
“Hahaha. Are you trying to be funny?”
“What’s wrong with using some of it? I can just fill it up again.”
“Haha. Forget it. I don’t need the money.”
Yoo-hyun waved his hand while holding his stomach.
Then Han Jae Hee asked incredulously,
“Why don’t you need the money?”
“Why should I take your money?”
“No, not that. Don’t you have any greed for money?”
“Do I look like that?”
Yoo-hyun asked back, and Han Jae Hee nodded.
“Yeah. You seem to not care about money at all.”
“Even this time. You could have made money easily by using someone else, but why did you use me?”
“Why should I use someone else?”
At Yoo-hyun’s question, Han Jae Hee spilled out the worries that had been nagging her in her drunken state.
“There are many people who are good at it. If they did what you told them to do, they would have done it much faster and better.”
Yoo-hyun blurted out his true feelings as he listened to her.
“Those people are not my sister.”
“Why should I do something good for others?”
“Then what about me?”
Yoo-hyun answered without hesitation at Jae Hee’s question.
“You are my only sister.”
Han Jae Hee fell silent at Yoo-hyun’s answer.
She seemed to be moved by his words, as her eyelids fluttered.
Then she emptied a glass and said,
“Brother, are you crazy?”
“What? Where did that come from?”
“You must be crazy. You suddenly changed since last year, and now you’re really insane.”
She muttered to herself as if talking to herself, and Yoo-hyun asked,
“What do you mean by that?”
“If you’re not crazy? Why are you suddenly so nice to me?”
He had never thought that being nice to his sister was a crazy thing to do.
That was something that even the old Han Yoo-hyun didn’t think.
It was such a nonsensical question that Yoo-hyun shook his head.
“You won’t remember even if I tell you now.”
“No way. I’m not drunk.”
They had already emptied a bottle of liquor.
Most of it went down her sister’s throat.
It would be abnormal if she wasn’t drunk.
Yoo-hyun clinked the last glass and asked suddenly,
“By the way, why don’t you talk informally today?”
But the answer he got back was absurd.
“I can’t talk informally to someone who made me money.”
“Then were you doing it on purpose before?”
“I don’t know. I can’t remember because I’m drunk.”
Han Jae Hee laughed mischievously and drank the last glass.
Yoo-hyun stared blankly at her.
For some reason, Han Jae Hee brought up the money issue to her mother and father.
Her mother’s eyes widened like lanterns as she listened.
“What? You made that much?”
“Yeah. Thanks to my brother, I made some money.”
Han Jae Hee said calmly, and her father praised her right away.
“You did a really amazing thing.”
Her mother agreed as well.
“Yes. I never thought you would be so responsible…”
“No, I misspoke. I’m just so happy for you.”
Han Jae Hee glared at her mother and frowned at Yoo-hyun.
Yoo-hyun looked puzzled, and she turned her head away.
Then she said with a firm tone to her mother and father,
“It’s too much money for me to keep, so I want to give it to you.”
Her mother and father said in turn,
“Jae Hee, why are you suddenly talking formally to us?”
“Hmm. Yeah. That’s a bit strange.”
“Just take it. I’m giving it to you with a big heart.”
Han Jae Hee said with clenched teeth, and her mother shook her head.
“No. Why should we take that?”
“Why? You can buy whatever you want with this money.”
“I prefer to receive gifts. I can’t buy them myself because I feel sorry for spending my own money.”
Han Jae Hee stuck out her tongue at her mother’s illogical answer.
“I don’t need it either. That money is rightfully yours.”
Her father also refused the money, and Han Jae Hee looked around at her family with a dumbfounded expression.
Yoo-hyun, who was next to her, explained the exact cause and effect.
“You’re also part of this family.”
“No. I like money. I’ll spend it all soon if I keep it.”
“Go ahead. It’s your money.”
Yoo-hyun said indifferently to Han Jae Hee’s defiance.
In the end, Han Jae Hee’s rebelliousness exploded.
“Fine. You’re making me feel bad. I’ll deposit it in the bank.”
Her mother and father laughed at the same time as they watched her.
They all laughed happily together for the first time in a long time.
Only Han Jae Hee was serious.
She had been living in the same house with Han Jae Hee, but they didn’t spend much time together.
She slept during the day and went out to meet her friends at night.
She was a very free spirit.
Yoo-hyun said to Han Jae Hee, who was lying in her room until the afternoon,
“Are you really not going? You said you wanted to see my friends.”
“It’s strange that you’re not over your hangover yet.”
Yoo-hyun clicked his tongue, and a hoarse voice came out from behind the door.
“Stop it and get me some water.”
Yoo-hyun engraved the word ‘patience’ in his heart and brought some water.
Then he put it down in front of the door and said,
“I was going to keep quiet, but if you’re going to act …”
“Hey, why are you being such an old fart?”
Then Han Jae Hee came out with her messy hair and snapped.
Yoo-hyun turned his body, trying to hold on to his sanity.
He heard his sister’s voice from behind.
“Are you mad? You’re so timid.”
“Hehe. Have a good time. Let’s have a drink tonight.”
Yoo-hyun shook his head and went outside.
All his friends gathered at Kim Hyun Soo’s car center.
Except for Kim Hyun Soo, who was busy with customers, the other three were standing in front of the entrance of the car center.
They listened to the explanation of a burly man standing across from them.
“Today’s interview is…”
Kim Yeon Guk, the reporter, gave a brief explanation.
Then Ha Jun Seok, who had always wanted to be in the news, asked right away.
“Reporter, so you’re saying we’re really going to be in the Our Daily newspaper?”
Yoo-hyun stopped Ha Jun Seok, who clenched his fist.
This guy had been excited ever since the interview was confirmed.
“Hey, stop it. You’re embarrassing us.”
Then Kang Jun Ki stepped in.
“But the car center incident happened a long time ago. Is that news?”
“Yes. I’ve already done the reporting. The impact of the incident itself is more important than the timing.”
“Well, I did teach those thugs a lesson.”
Kang Jun Ki nodded seriously at Kim Yeon Guk’s words.
Yoo-hyun made a ridiculous expression at that moment, and Ha Jun Seok flared up.
“Hey. I did more than you.”
“No way, dude. I was the first one to grab them by the collar.”
“Shut up. You got your butt kicked.”
These two always did this whenever they had a chance.
Yoo-hyun ignored their bickering and asked Kim Yeon Guk.
“Reporter, I thought we were just doing an interview. Do we have to take pictures?”
At that moment, Kang Jun Ki and Ha Jun Seok reacted as if they had planned it.
Kim Yeon Guk nodded as if he understood Yoo-hyun and said,
“If it was just focused on the incident, we wouldn’t need pictures.”
Then he flashed his eyes and added,
“But I want to make this article about your friendship. To do that…”
Yoo-hyun was about to interrupt him when he heard something off, but Kim Yeon Guk threw out a decisive statement.
“And if this article gets popular, this car center will do much better than now. I can guarantee that.”
“As expected. Reporter, I thought so too.”
“Yeah. Yoo-hyun, let’s help Hyun Soo out with this opportunity. When else are we going to do it?”
Kang Jun Ki and Ha Jun Seok joined in, and Yoo-hyun nodded as if he had made up his mind.
It wasn’t hard to take pictures, so there was no reason to oppose it.
“Then let’s get started quickly.”
“Yes. Let’s do that. I’ll take pictures first.”
Kim Yeon Guk took out his camera from his bag at that moment.
Ha Jun Seok moved quickly.
“I’ll go get Hyun Soo.”
He showed an amazing reaction speed that he didn’t usually show.
A little later, Kim Hyun Soo was surprised to hear the story belatedly.
“What? Why are we taking pictures again?”
At his words, Ha Jun Seok and Kang Jun Ki answered in turn.
“Hyun Soo, he said he’ll give us the original pictures too.”
“Yeah. We won’t get another chance .”
“Hyun Soo, let’s just take it quickly and finish it.”
Yoo-hyun also stepped in, and Kim Hyun Soo had no choice but to follow along.
Yoo-hyun smiled secretly as he looked at him.
He knew that he was shy by nature.
He had even given autographs to the neighborhood kids after the last article came out.
Yoo-hyun patted Kim Hyun Soo’s shoulder and said,
“This will also be a good memory for you.”
“You should try it too, Yoo-hyun.”
“What’s the big deal? It’s okay to show my face a little bit.”
Yoo-hyun said nonchalantly when Kim Yeon Guk said,
“All right, let’s get started. Yoo-hyun, please jump when I give you the signal.”
“Don’t worry about it. It’ll make the article more lively.”
“Reporter, isn’t this too much of a joke?”
“These days, you have to do this to get popular.”
Kim Yeon Guk’s sharp answer made Yoo-hyun blink his eyes.
Seeing that, Kim Hyun Soo chuckled.
“You said you were fine.”
“Hey, but this is too much.”
Then Ha Jun Seok stepped in and made things worse.
“Yoo-hyun, you kicked three guys down with one flying kick back then.”
As Yoo-hyun looked dumbfounded, Kim Yeon Guk added another word.
“Jump shots are possible.”
This time Kim Hyun Soo said as if he was taking revenge.
Kang Jun Ki and Ha Jun Seok also raised their voices.
Then they made poses among themselves.
Kim Hyun Soo was also thinking about it.
It was a ridiculous sight.
Yoo-hyun laughed out loud when Kim Yeon Guk said,
“Let’s finish this quickly since you’re all busy. Yoo-hyun, please jump when I give you the signal.”
“Okay, let’s go. One, two, three.”
At that moment, Yoo-hyun unknowingly jumped up from his spot.
He even twisted his body and did a flying kick in the air.
It was quite high, so the pose looked cool.
“Wow. Yoo-hyun, that’s great. Let’s do it one more time.”
Kim Yeon Guk praised him, and Ha Jun Seok looked at Yoo-hyun with envy in his eyes.
“I’m jealous. I want to jump too.”
Kang Jun Ki and Kim Hyun Soo felt the same way.
“Then let me jump too.”
As Yoo-hyun spat out a laugh,
Kim Yeon Guk gave another signal.
“Okay, let’s do it again. One, two, three.”
In the end, that day Yoo-hyun and his friends had to jump dozens of times in the air.
Among them, Yoo-hyun was the most diligent.
