chapter 11
11 – Haerin Kang (11)
Haerin Kang (11)
“Woke up?”
“I-over there…”
I took the laptop from Haerin Kang.
She stared blankly at me.
That must be the reason why the laughter disappeared, right?
On the laptop, Kang Hae-rin’s psychology and behavior were described and explained in real time.
Knowing that I didn’t write it myself and that the laptop works on its own would clear me of suspicion, but having such a thing is suspicious.
“… saw?”
“look?”
I asked myself to become a strong Haerin.
“… what’s inside… that’s it…”
“What’s inside?”
Strong giggling.
How can I excuse myself so that I can at least avoid being strangled on the spot?
I glanced at the kitchen.
The deadliest weapon is, of course, the kitchen knife.
Will Haerin Kang use it?
Fighting power isn’t her style.
The reason Kang Hae-rin killed me in the study was when he discovered that I had ‘pretended to love’ her.
The pain was too great for her, who felt ‘true’ and ‘passionate’ when I was with her.
If you think that I was using the ‘power’ of the laptop, I would have played her.
that’s the worst
“I was so surprised that I screamed out loud. Sorry. But sa, you agreed to respect your privacy. Haerin. right? ”
First of all, apologize politely and beat.
I quietly put my laptop behind my back, and I sat next to her and carefully hugged her.
As if asking to see you, while acting aegyo.
Kang Hae-rin rested her head on her shoulder as if in a good mood.
… Oh, does it work?
You are such an obedient murderer.
would you kill me?
Looking at his expression, he didn’t seem too bad.
“Your sister has come and gone.”
“… sister?”
“huh.”
Haerin Kang said quietly.
“My sister tried to wake her up, but I stopped her. You look so tired, so just leave it alone.”
“…you can wake me up.”
No, I should have woken up.
And was your sister still?
The Lee Da-mi I knew liked to take care of everything about me, especially in front of others.
I’m grateful, but sometimes, it was burdensome for me to act like a mother or show off for me.
Of course, I don’t think it’s just for show.
However, there are things that are a bit excessive.
“What are you talking about. If you’re tired, you should rest. I’ve never seen anyone sleep so hard. Have you been having a hard time lately?”
Haerin Kang spoke as if she had read my thoughts.
“But… isn’t it the first time you two have known each other?”
Suddenly worried, I said.
“It would have been less awkward if I had been there.”
“don’t worry. Because I wasn’t being rude.”
“I don’t really mean that…”
“We chatted a bit, but it was a good meeting.”
she chuckled.
But the eyes don’t smile.
‘Good meeting?’
How did that make it even more terrifying?
Didn’t you do something?
My older sister is a master of jiu-jitsu, so if she was bare-handed, at least she wouldn’t lose to someone of the same s*x.
‘If the opponent is strong…’
My hands started sweating.
I felt resentful of myself for suddenly giving Kang Hae-rin a license in martial arts such as kendo, boxing, and judo.
It honestly makes no sense.
A girl who is only 23 years old is a beautiful girl and has transcendental specifications.
But it is an undeniable reality.
“But honey, there is one thing I’m sorry about.”
You’re here.
It was sluggish.
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
Kang Haerin met my eyes.
It’s brief.
so it’s scarier
“… Well, I bought it all of a sudden…”
The thing I bought with my own discretion is writing a novel featuring you.
… how the hell do you explain it?
then she said
“Darling, I heard that the main character in the novel has the same name as me?”
“…….”
… Ah, Idami, please!
how far did you say
Looking at Kang Hae-rin’s calm expression, it doesn’t seem like he said it in detail, but you shouldn’t guess.
Maybe he knows everything and uses a deception tactic.
“My sister-in-law talked to me a lot. I’m your girlfriend… You said it’s surprising that you don’t even know who the main character of the novel he’s writing is…”
“…….”
“As a girlfriend, I hurt my pride a little.”
“Yeah… Huh?”
“Yes, no matter how blood-stained you are, if we get married in the future, we will become closer, right? isn’t it? It’s 0 degrees rather than 2 degrees.”
“… get married… that’s right, when you get married…”
“So, to be honest, it hurt my pride. So I messed up a bit. principle. I wanted to respect my privacy, but I didn’t know that he was writing a novel with my name on it…”
Her reddish pupils fixed on the laptop I hid behind my back.
Ha, Idami…
I had never resented my sister, but why did I say such a thing to a woman I had never met before?
I had no idea what the hell was going on between the two women while I slept in.
“So I looked at this laptop, but it’s not there?”
“…wasn’t there?”
“Why are you using something that is broken?”
“… breakdown?”
“If you need it, I will buy it for you. laptop.”
“Hey, Harin. But why do you keep showing respect from earlier? Can’t you just talk to me?”
I looked up and said.
Kang Hae-rin’s respectful words are not a good sign.
It’s usually the tone you use to control yourself when you’re extremely emotional or sensitive.
That ‘sensitivity’ also includes murder work.
In short, it makes me a bit anxious.
The good news is that Kang Hae-rin, like Song Yeon-woo, ‘can’t see’ this laptop when she trades at the Cabbage Market.
‘That’s fortunate.’
But anyway, it seems clear that Kang Hae-rin’s planting has become quite sensitive right after meeting her sister.
“……..”
Kang Hae-rin said after biting her lips.
“Can you show me the work?”
… are you going to go to the end.
I said desperately.
“… I put down all the novels. I also deleted the file now. sorry. I should have written it with your permission.”
I don’t know if it will work, but I have no choice but to stretch.
Decided to buy insurance here.
I already received a yellow card in a situation where I was found out for writing a novel that borrowed Kang Hae-rin’s name.
Therefore, as soon as she returned, I decided to cancel all reservations and return to study.
I’m sorry to the readers who have followed me over 1000 times, but they will be sad if I die too.
I’m sorry, Jiyoung-ah, Yoona.
A writer who is a ‘pure bad guy’ should become an even worse guy.
I thought, recalling the faces of my juniors in 『Journal』 and the thousands of readers who followed the novel.
‘I will repay the favor with another good work…!’
Meanwhile.
I had to check one out at a time.
If Kang Hae-rin finds out that my novel is a ‘web novel’, she will search for her name on the Internet.
The problem is reviews such as blogs and reader communities.
It wouldn’t be strange if you searched for something like that.
Because my novels objectively have quite a few fans.
Of course, you will know the plot.
‘…Who is this person who knows every single detail of my crimes?’
Haerin Kang must think so.
In my novel, Kang Hae-rin’s past activities are all written, including his tricks and motives.
So the conclusion is one of two things.
Either you think the author of the piece is me, or ‘coincidentally’ two people wrote her name.
The latter makes me safe.
By creating and establishing an anonymous author of 『Journal』 that will never be revealed.
I needed an alibi.
I don’t know how far my sister said it, but I guess we can talk about it first and then kiss each other.
Please, I wish I hadn’t said that until now.
“… is it so?”
“It was so messed up that I didn’t have the confidence to show it. To sum it up, it’s just the name, it doesn’t really matter at all. I just because Harin’s name is so pretty.”
To Hae-Rin Kang, who still sticks to her honor, I blew about my work without even asking her.
no, made it up
“… I was thinking of submitting to a literary prize. I was going to let you know when the results came later.”
I said.
The creation system ran wild.
“… It is about a young man suffering from an incurable disease who struggles with poverty to achieve his artistic ego… In other words, he tried to transplant the styles and materials of French and German literature in the early modern period into a modern Korean style.”
I never had artistic ideals and instincts in the first place, but I came up with a concept and said it.
As if I’m not interested in web novels.
“I went through revision after revision, and in the end, I couldn’t write a single sentence and scrapped it. I guess I have no talent. I’m sorry to put your name on a piece like that!”
“…….”
When he put his hands together and apologized while intentionally adding self-blame, Kang Hae-rin’s expression softened a little.
“… Flaubert or Goethe don’t seem to match the trend of Korean literature these days. I’m sorry if that’s not the case. hey? Thomas only? Or is it the naturalistic technique of the Emile Zola style?”
… I’m talking roughly, but I’m going to have a drink.
Well, Haerin Kang probably reads more than I do.
Still, he succeeded in turning the topic around.
“I’m not trying to meddle with your own work, but I’ll recommend you some contemporary artists of the same kind.”
“… huh.”
“You will do well. Don’t be too heartbroken. Let me know if you have any difficulties.”
she said while stroking my hair.
“No matter how good the classics are, I think it would be impossible to just copy them. Let me know if you need space to write or if you need a laptop.”
“… thank you. And I’m really sorry!”
I intentionally exaggeratedly apologized again.
Of course, I don’t go to that ‘space to write’.
If it was the mansion described in the study, it would be difficult.
It’s a luxurious and large mansion, but once you enter, you can’t get out without her permission.
“Then shall we eat?”
Kang Hae-rin said that she felt relieved.
Naturally, that honor also disappeared.
She put out a plate.
“I didn’t have many ingredients, so I prepared it simply. Sushi made with creme and cucumber, basil pesto pasta.”
There is nothing lacking in cooking skills.
“Would you like it to fit in your mouth?”
Of course, there’s no way it wouldn’t fit.
Because Kang Haerin’s taste is my taste.
Cucumber is an ingredient that people like or dislike, but I liked it.
It was the perfect refreshing feeling to eat on a muggy morning.
You probably already knew my taste buds.
Like my older sister, I tend to eat spicy things very well, but basically, I like things like this more.
I got out of my first super nervous state and inhaled the beautifully plated food.
“It would have been nice if my older sister ate together, but she said she hates greasy food.”
When I looked up, Kang Hae-rin was looking at me with moist eyes with her chin resting slightly.
It was a very benevolent look.
“… huh? no. I’m sorry if my sister was rude.”
I apologized for being embarrassed for nothing.
They cooked such a delicious dish, but there is no way to say that it is greasy food.
“I will wash the dishes.”
I said but she refused.
“You have classes in the afternoon. Go quickly.”
“No, but I’m indebted to you like this, but I’ll take care of it…”
“are you okay. Don’t use the word owed. between us.”
She recommended me over and over again.
Rather, it even opened a drink.
“It would be nice to have a dishwasher. right?”
“……..”
There was a setting attached to Kang Hae-rin as the granddaughter of the chairman of an international conglomerate.
The father was human trash, a human scum, and a scoundrel, so he couldn’t become the successor and did nothing but foolishness, and Kang Hae-rin was his out-of-wedlock child.
After her father died, Kang Hae-rin was taken in by her grandfather.
To be precise, knowing about Kang Hae-rin’s existence, the president threw some money away as if it were good luck.
It would have been the minimum maintenance cost.
Based on that, Kang Hae-rin successfully invested in stocks, coins, and real estate to become a billionaire.
Now her fortune will be at least several tens of billions.
young and rich.
Glamorous and beautiful
It’s absurd, but how did you set it up like that?
“……..”
Eventually, at her persuasion, I took a shower and prepared to leave with my bag and laptop.
I wore the man-to-man tee my sister bought for me.
“Dongmin.”
Kang Hae-rin appeared with several coat hangers.
“Try on this.”
It was a dark plain overshirt, black slacks, and a black leather belt that gave off a neat look.
The material of the shirt was luxurious and shiny, and the neat design was far from my usual style.
To be honest, I tend to only buy clothes my sister buys or clothes from online shopping malls, so I don’t have a style per se.
“This too.”
She smiled and gave me a watch.
It was an expensive and polished watch that even I, who don’t know much about luxury items, would ‘know’.
At least, it doesn’t seem like something a college student in her twenties would do.
“… uh? This isn’t mine…”
“It is a gift.”
side.
Kang Hae-rin said while kissing the back of my hand.
“Bye.”
She waved her hand as she stood on the porch with her arms behind her back.
