The Player Hides His Past - Chapter 578
Chapter 578 – . Much to talk about (3) – PART1
Suddenly.
“What do my sisters know?!”
The sudden interruption to the conversation came from nowhere.
To be precise, it was Lee Yerim, who was cleaning her room.
As the sun was rising in the west, Lee Yerim was dressed in an unfamiliar way.
“Who knows the most about Hoyeol out of the three of us? It’s me. Did you sisters have any idea until the article came out? I knew right away that they were his classmates. Why, they came over to our house once and…….”
Lee Jiyoon shook her head in disbelief.
“You’re doing a big cleanup for mom and dad’s arrival?”
If you ask me where they’re going, it’s traveling.
After the closure of Harmony Dumpling.
They were enjoying their first break in decades.
“It looks good, really?”
That was the beginning of Lee Jiyoon’s nagging.
As for Lee Yerim.
To the point where she felt like she was interrupting the conversation for no reason.
“Yerim, it’s only 2 nights and 3 days, but it’s a talent to make the house this messy. If you had to go to work, you’d be tired, and I’d understand. What kind of daughter uses her annual leave to relax in her own home and fit in with her parents’ travel schedule?”
Normally, she would have retorted to every word.
But Lee Yerim held her tongue.
Because there was something more important than that.
“……..That’s it. Sisters. If you’re going to talk nonsense, help me clean up.”
“Are you crazy? Sis, you have to say something too.”
“Look, I’m sorry, but I do enough chores at home, Yerim, and I’m not talking nonsense. We’re talking about something very important about Hoyeol.”
How does my brother-in-law live with a sister like that?
The way my older sister, who had a smiling face, spoke was eerie.
She doesn’t give up.
“No, Lee Hoyeol is Lee Hoyeol. What are you talking about again? Ah, this? Are you talking about this expression? When I look at it, it’s the same. Lee Hoyeol, isn’t that the expression you always have when you look at me?”
The expression when he looks at Lee Yerim?
I look back on my memories through Lee Yerim’s words.
If it were Hoyeol.
I thought there was no way he would show such cold eyes.
Oh, it really was like that.
Lee Jiyoon shook her head.
“…….I guess so, from what I’ve heard and seen.”
“No matter what, the atmosphere is different, girls!”
“Big sister, look at me now.”
“Yerim, what do you look like?”
Dressed in an apron, clutching a duster, and with her hair pulled up in a tight rubber band, Yerim was definitely ……. Her atmosphere was different from usual. It was more like she had become more dignified.
It’s not that much, but it looks like she’s going to make a living.
Lee Jiyoon sarcastically said.
“Okay, can’t you just get married as a woman?”
“Don’t be silly, little sister.”
“It’s like having a tooth fall out.”
“Maybe it’s the way she’s dressed, but Yerim looks different than usual.”
Lee Yerim finally shrugged.
“I mean, it’s not like we’re face-to-face. What can we know from Hoyeol’s face, filmed from this angle, I mean, you know how evil the TV station is.”
“I know.”
Lee Jiyoon said and looked into the LCD screen.
The atmosphere could change depending on the lighting and angle.
Besides, if you put aside those side stories.
“Anyway, you concluded in the usual Hoyeol style, didn’t you?”
Impossible to possible.
“So you said he overcame the status abnormality corruption that no one else could, Yerim? Well, we hear about it, but we don’t really know what the big deal is.”
This time too, there was enthusiasm for miraculously saving corrupted citizens.
In the end, it ended as it usually does.
At that point, Lee Yerim added coyly.
“So, sisters, can’t you help me clean up instead of sitting there so serious? Isn’t that what you came here for? I’m really tired.”
Lee Eunhye and Lee Jiyoon exchanged glances.
“Ugh.”
It couldn’t be helped.
Not only Hoyeol, but also Lee Yerim was their precious little sibling. It was the first time in a long time that they would ask for a favor so desperately, and the first time in a long time that they would make such a shameless request.
“So where should I clean up? If nothing else, you should do the dishes.”
“Of course I do!”
“Yerim, I’ll help you clean your room.”
Heavily armed.
Eunhye immediately put on rubber gloves on both hands.
But Lee Yerim stood in her way.
Lee Yerim grinned and grabbed the doorknob of her room.
“Sis, thank you, but can I clean up my room ……?”
“Why? What, are you hiding something?”
“That’s what makes me want to search more.”
Lee Yerim looked around awkwardly at Lee Jiyoon’s secretive eyes.
“So, who is hiding what?! Even though it may seem like a mess, my room has its own rules, right? Even the books on my desk are in order.”
Lee Yerim, you must be hiding something if you’re stuttering at the end of this…….
There’s no need to come in, is there, Yerim?
Because there is privacy.
Eunhye shrugged.
“Really? Then I’ll do the dishes.”
“Sis, you told me to let you do the dishes yourself?!”
“No, I was going to, but you know what Yerim’s room looks like, so while you’re at it, let her clean it up. It’s not something you can usually clean up with determination, this place.”
Well, from what I heard and saw, it definitely was.
“That’s what I heard..”
Lee Jiyoon nodded, and Lee Yerim smiled awkwardly.
“Well, then I’ll clean up my room first. Sisters. Thank you~”
cheolkeog.
Lee Yerim turned the doorknob at the same time as she said an honorific that was not used in her mouth. Then she looked at her room. It was a mess. Yes, except for the desk, which was covered with all sorts of things.
“Whoa.”
Why was the desk clean?
It was simply because it was the first place Lee Yerim touched when she started cleaning the room, and it was thanks to that. Lee Yerim was able to find it faster than the owner.
An unusually black notebook.
“Hoyeol.”
Lee Yerim took the notebook in her trembling hands.
She whispered to her one and only brother.
I know you can’t hear me now.
It was clear she was addressing her only brother, Hoyeol.
“……But this time, did you pretend I didn’t know?”
