A Heroine Who Can Never Be Abandoned

14 – Haerin Kang (14)

Haerin Kang (14)

“What were you doing? Did you hear me talking?”

Kang Hae-rin, who entered the front door, looked around.

“huh? word? What are you talking about? Could it be YouTube?”

I took off my pretense.

No, it wasn’t that there was really someone to say it was pretentious, but I ended up going out defensively for no reason.

“okay? Then tell me. I must have heard wrong.”

Haerin Kang was holding a box in her hand.

“I ordered a dishwasher.”

Are you talking about daytime?

When I was with Park Se-young, Kang Hae-rin called and said we should install a dishwasher.

But it doesn’t look like what I’m holding now.

It’s too small to be called a dishwasher.

“Ah, thank you… thank you. Did you buy a new one?”

“Yeah, I was going to give you what I have at home, but I’m sorry to give you the used ones, and packing them is a hassle. I bought the latest model, so look forward to it!”

Haerin Kang laughed silently.

“And this is a laptop.”

She casually sat down on the sofa in the living room, put it on the table, and spread her palms.

“Could you lend me the knife?”

“Ah, yes…!”

As I brought the cutter knife, I calmly examined whether or not I was in danger.

As the notebook describes, until just before this, Kang Hae-rin had been reading 『Journal』.

Is that laptop a bait and is it also here to kill me?

That’s why her expression was so carefree.

While saying it was my gift, he was humming a song as if he liked it better.

It’s a classic that I used for a novel sometime.

This is also an execution song.

… Don’t hum the Executioner’s Song naturally.

“…Wow, that’s really good…”

The laptop that came out of the box was blue.

It must have taken 2 or 3 seconds to boot.

Inside, the OS, Hangul programs, and other essential utilities were all installed.

Have you ever planted something inside?

As Haerin Kang, who is good at hacking, I decided not to do anything private with this.

Even if you use it, keep it separate from the ‘Kang Haerin’ account.

Somehow, if she logged into her 『Journal』 account on that laptop, the information might flow to her.

“…Thank you, Haerin. I don’t know if I can accept this. It must be expensive… I’ll pay you back later!”

Kang Hae-rin is rich anyway, so I thought that this amount of spending was nothing, but even so, 2 million won is easily exceeded.

I should say thank you properly.

Once I received it, I was thrilled.

A normal laptop, not that cursed laptop that writes novels on its own after doing so well.

Sincerely, I said thank you.

“I’ll kiss you as a thank you.”

I stopped at her words.

If you keep becoming more and more natural with skinship like this, wouldn’t it cross the line at some point?

However, accepting something like this and simply refusing a kiss is not the usual missing conscience.

Jjook.

I put my lips to her cheek.

… I feel like I’m losing my dignity as a human being, but isn’t good good?

While connecting the laptop Kang Hae-rin bought to our home Wi-Fi, searching for and touching things.

She looked around my room and said.

“Dongmin, what is this?”

I ran to her

It was a pink laptop borrowed from my sister’s house.

It’s something my older sister bought when she was a freshman, so the specs are a little off, but she took good care of it and still works.

So far, I’ve been thinking about a new work with this.

“Huh huh, that’s right. My sister’s…”

Kang Hae-rin pursed her lips as she alternately looked at the pink laptop and the red wine-colored laptop.

“Can I take these?”

“… uh? why…?”

“Anyway, one is broken and the other is pretty old, I’ll try to fix it.”

“……..”

Haerin Kang gave me a free gift of a state-of-the-art laptop worth 2 million won or more.

Taking one broken one and one old one in return is not a strange proposition at all.

But I had no choice but to refuse.

The pink was borrowed from my sister, and the wine red, as you know, could never be passed on to her.

Even if it looks like it’s broken, it’s not actually broken.

“Yeah, um, it’s a bit disappointing, but I get it.”

Saying that, Kang Hae-rin slightly pursed her lips, but she didn’t seem very heartbroken.

Rather, he will interpret the sadness he feels towards me as a ‘human emotion’ and enjoy it.

When I’m with her, she feels ‘alive’, so even that sadness feels positive.

It’s a strange mechanism, but that’s what Haerin Kang is.

… I’m sorry I made you do that, Haerin.

Whoops.

Then my phone vibrated.

Are you Seyoung Park?

I flinched, and Kang Hae-rin’s gaze also calmly headed there.

“Baby, did you call?”

“… Ah, yes.”

Even if it’s Park Se-young’s phone call, there’s nothing to bow down to.

It’s not like she and I were having an affair.

However, the call should be kept as short as possible.

There is no need to touch the planting.

“… sister?”

But the caller was my sister.

[… Lee Dong-min.]

a somber-sounding voice.

Come to think of it, it’s been a few hours since I left a missed call and text message for her this morning.

I was angry without even realizing it.

It was important to question what she said to Kang Hae-rin and kiss her future plans, but I was very worried about not being able to contact her.

“Why can’t I reach you!”

When I got nervous, Kang Hae-rin, who was staring at the bookshelf, turned to me.

“… You were worried. what did you do?”

I lowered my voice.

[…Lee Dong-min, are you worried about your sister?]

“… are you drunk?”

It was absurd.

Have you been drinking so far?

She’s an older sister who usually takes care of me like a mother, but that’s only when I’m sober.

After I became an adult, I had a few drinks at my sister’s house, and I was really scared at first.

Wearing such a revealing slip, no matter how much he was his younger brother, he kept rubbing his chest and trying to hug him.

In addition, the way he speaks also changes into a strangely whining tone.

Of course, I’m not aware of it, but because I’m an older sister, I know that it’s skinship that I can do without hesitation.

[… hehehe, Lee Dong-min, do you have a girlfriend? really?]

“……”

[… How to make a girlfriend. Leave your sister?]

“Sister, that’s…”

[… Kang Haerin!]

she shouted.

[… His girlfriend’s name is Haerin Kang? You are so… awesome. Our Haerin is pretty, but I’m not going to go out with Kang Haerin in real life… My Harin isn’t that mean… Yeah! I admit… Haerin is pretty… Your girlfriend… Haerin… Really, she was as pretty as Kang Haerin in your novel… But that’s not my Haerin…]

This man slept a lot.

I kept my call volume to a minimum.

I knew that my older sister, who stopped by my house while I was sleeping, had a conversation with Kang Hae-rin.

Kang Hae-rin said it was a ‘good meeting’, but it seems that it was one person’s one-sided opinion.

My sister was drinking out of a sense of defeat.

[How I raised you!]

“… I’m sorry, sister, but I’ll call you later.”

[In my kimchi stew-!]

“uh?”

[I said I would cook kimchi stew… ‘Our’ Dong-min hates spicy food… I, I know better, Dong-min Lee likes spicy food…]

“……”

To be honest, rather than liking spicy food, I ate it according to my older sister’s taste without saying anything.

I prefer something light and gritty.

But shouldn’t I say that here?

[… Lee Dong-min, tell me.]

“what…”

[Is it kimchi stew or pasta?]

“… I’ll hang up.”

[Yaaa-!!!]

Even though the call volume was kept to a minimum, her screams were loud enough to count outside the phone.

“… I’m with Harin right now. I’m sorry, sister.”

[…….]

Click.

The phone is disconnected.

Sorry, sister, we’ll talk later.

“Are you my sister?”

Kang Hae-rin tried to take out the 『Grotesque』 from the bookshelf in my room and put it back in.

“He must be really close with his older sister.”

“… Well, it’s not like that. Because we relied on each other a lot. Ah, but not as much as Harin.”

I looked up and said.

… screwed up?

However, Haerin Kang did not laugh at all.

“Um, well. Blood is thicker than water yes?”

After saying that, she only smiled.

… what does this mean?

For a moment, the atmosphere darkened.

“Oh, then I have work, so I’ll go.”

Haerin Kang gave me a kiss on the cheek.

Unfortunately or fortunately, she didn’t mention a word about 『Journal』.

#

When I went to campus to eat lunch alone after listening to a morning lecture with no one I knew.

Screams and curses were heard from somewhere.

“Ah, b*tch!”

Jab-!

… It was someone I knew.

Yeonwoo Song.

He had slapped a woman on the cheek.

And the woman was also someone I knew.

“… hey.”

I hesitated, but decided to dry them.

Baek Yu-ram sat down on the asphalt road, clutching his cheek, then looked up blankly at me.

Shame and wonder came over her face.

“Is it you again?”

Song Yeon-woo remembered me.

“why? You want to touch my girlfriend now? What are you going to do with him while pretending to be the messenger of justice?”

I don’t know what happened, but Song Yeon-woo was so angry that he didn’t care about the eyes of the people around him.

“Let’s break up, you bastard!”

Baek Yu-ram, who was sitting at that time, hesitated and stood up.

She screamed with ferocious eyes.

“They say they don’t want to meet someone like you anymore, and they hate me, but why can’t we break up!”

… Ah, I said these two were dating.

Apparently, Baek Yoo-ram asked Song Yeon-woo to break up with him, but he seems to have used violence to prevent him from doing so.

“This b*tch-!”

I tried to stop Song Yeon-woo from grabbing Baek Yoo-ram by the hair and trying to hit him on the cheek, but I was beaten instead.

match!

A light flashed in front of my eyes.

“… her!”

Baek Yoo-ram was surprised and approached with his eyes wide open.

“… are you okay?”

Baek Yoo-ram grabbed my arm and gave me a worried look, which made Song Yeon-woo even more angry.

“What the f*ck, hey, who are you, my girlfriend… Look at this, what are these b*tches trying to do?”

“……..”

“hey-!”

he grabbed me by the collar

“A bastard who looks like a parasite. Damn you bastard, I recognized you from the time you cheated on me, pretending to be innocent, but behind the scenes you play like a dick?”

“Don’t, you son of a b*tch-!”

Baek Yoo-ram screamed and bit Song Yeon-woo’s arm.

“… Aww!”

Song Yeon-woo screamed like a woman.

“… Ha, that’s really absurd. Is this why you asked to break up with me? Are you trying to get out of that baby? Crazy b*tch, he has a girlfriend. isn’t that it?”

“It’s not like that. It’s crazy. It’s because you hit me and cheat on me with another girl.”

… Oh, did I get in the wrong way.

Hyeonta came suddenly.

Either way, Song Yeon-woo said.

“Yeah, f*ck. do your best Let’s see how well it goes. And hey, cheater.”

he pointed at me

“Since you touched my girlfriend first, will I touch your girlfriend too? Just go and f*ck it later. Because you messed around first.”

“no.”

I was in a daze for a moment, but I came to my senses when I heard Song Yeon-woo speak and tried to stop him.

you are dying

I barely saved him, but why are you trying to go into the pit again?

However, Song Yeon-wu smiled and spoke, as if he had taken my urgent words in a different way.

“Sick. You will regret it.”

He gave a satisfied expression and disappeared.

Baek Yoo-ram cupped my cheek and whispered quickly.

“… Sorry. Sorry. really…”

I got hit in the chin properly and my head was dizzy for a while.

I was about to stand up when Baek Yoo-ram screamed.

“Yah-! Are you bleeding-!?”

Were you injured when you fell?

Scars were visible on the palms.

It wasn’t great.

“… oh, it’s okay…”

“What is fine? You also bleed on your lips. are you okay? no, it won’t be ok hahahaha, are you really stupid? why are you interfering? Did you think that would be cool?”

She put her hand on my armpit and lifted me up.

“Let’s just pass by… let’s go. This is our house near here.”
