Chapter 2

……Damn, Damn, Damn!!!

What more can I say here?

In the end, Go Geun-Young made a proposal in front of me, who was speechless.

“I don’t want to force you to do anything about it.”

“Then what is it?”

“Hyung is so adamant in rejecting me, so I’m asking for a chance to change your mind.”

‘Do you think I’m crazy enough to date you?’

I was confused inside, but I couldn’t bring myself to reveal my inner feelings to him. This is because it was Go Geun-Young who held the handle of the knife.

“……Well, then…… Set a duration.”

“Duration?”

“Yes. If three months have passed and I don’t like you, then you should quit and not bother me anymore.”

But I didn’t want to keep being dragged around, so I used my brain quite a bit.

When Go Geun-Young saw my nervous expression, he smirked and brushed off his flowing hair.

“Let’s do it for half a year.”

“Four months…….”

“It’s not like we’re bargaining in some market……. All right. Then make sure you leave your day off for four months. You shouldn’t date.”

“Ugh…….”

“If you don’t like it, change it to half a year.”

Eventually, I made a promise to take Go Geun-Young seriously as a romantic relationship while dating him on my days off for four months.

However, I was convinced that there would be no chance that I would date Go Geun-Young even after ten years. This is because I have known him for a year.

During that one year, instead of developing feelings for him, I was just sick of him. Even if we started meeting each other on my days off and going on dates, there was no way that I would develop feelings for him. I don’t know if I’ll hate him even more.

‘It was a mess from the first time I met Go Geun-Young.’’

I frowned remembering the first time I met him.

“·……Esper fan meeting?”

My older sister was a fan of people with superpowers called ‘Espers’.

I thought she was just collecting some photos and watching broadcasts, but suddenly she said she wanted to go to a fan meeting held by Espers.

“Yes! So, please help me with the tickets. You’re good at this. When I was in college, you helped me with your computer? Anyway, I heard you used it to help me apply for the course.”

“When has it been the same…….”

I replied bluntly and clicked my tongue.

That’s because ticketing and college enrollment are different in size in the first place, and if it’s an Esper fan meeting, it’s obvious that the competitiveness will be beyond imagination.

‘Isn’t it harder than an idol group?’

So, even if I offered to help, honestly, there was no chance of success.

Not only my sister but also Korea is now completely crazy about espers. Just as they care about figure skaters, K-pop idols, and trot superstars, the whole nation is now drunk on Espers.

So instead of instilling unnecessary hope, I gave realistic advice.

“Give up, Noona. Or, just buy a ticket from a scalper. There’s nothing I can do with my computer.”

“Oh, come on! If you succeed, I’ll give you 50,000 won. Huh?”

“50,000 won? As far as I know, the 160,000 won ticket was sold up to 2 million won at the Esper fan meeting last time.”

At that time, even I, who was not very interested in Esper, was well aware of the posts that were posted in all communities, saying [the recent status of Esper fan meeting scalped tickers].

“Damn! Hey! 100,000 won!”

My sister followed me around and bothered me until I said yes.

In the end, I decided to help with ticketing for an Esper fan meeting only after receiving 100,000 won regardless of success or failure and adding the condition that my sister cleans the house for the whole month.

My sister must have high expectations for me, but…… To be honest, I wasn’t confident.

How can I get one with our home’s shity computer? I just pretended to listen because I was tired of my sister following me around.

In the first place, if I get a ticket for the Esper fan meeting, it can be said it was because it was a grace given by our ancestors. So I hope my sister won’t say anything if I fail.

“……Crazy!”

By the way, it seems that my ancestors were giving their graces. Because I suddenly succeeded in getting a ticket!

Even I thought it wouldn’t work anyway, so I didn’t think about it, but the seats were very close to the stage.

It’s not the second floor but the first floor. Except for the standing seats, the two curbside seats were placed in the central section closest to the stage.

What is it? I…… Am I a genius?

“Did you succeed?”

“Uh……? Yes.”

“No, crazy! Really? Really? What are you doing? I heard all my friends failed! What did you do? Crazy……. Wow…… Awesome……!”

“Whoa……. Well, it’s nothing like this.”

I filled my sister with the feelings I had accumulated one by one and enjoyed the praise she gave me while trembling.

It’s not that I didn’t think about reselling it, after saying that I failed…… Anyway, I decided to give it to my sister in a good mood.

My sister immediately ran into my room and brought three 50,000 won bills, and happily offered it to me. As expected, there is no one like my sister. Usually she is like an angry gorilla, but when she is in a good mood like today, there is no such cheerful girl.

“Hey! Hey! Can you pick me up that day?”

“Fan meeting day?”

“I work until 9 pm and I don’t want to take the hellish train back to work after it’s over.”

“It’s about…….”

I thought I might be able to pick up my sister in time for the end of the fan meeting after work.

“Hey, pick me up after you’re done. It’s not good for a girl to walk around alone at night. The world is terrible these days.”

Then, my mom in the kitchen looked at us instead of trimming the green onions and sided with her.

“I…… I got it.”

I spoke bluntly, but my sister gave me an extra 50,000 won, so I thought I would give her this as a service.

I also remembered that my sister picked me up every day to the hospital for two weeks when I got a ventilation cast because I hurt my foot while working hard.

Nothing happens for no reason in the world. The reason why people with superpowers called “Espers” have appeared is because of the monsters that suddenly appeared in the world.

The monsters that appeared unknowingly around the world, as if they had existed, somehow did not die with modern firearms. As a result, the Epser began to awaken one by one only when humanity was helpless and encroached on despair, but only their abilities worked for the monsters.

That’s a story that’s already been around for decades.

In the present day, people are somewhat insensitive to safety because Espers came quickly and handled it, but it was true that it was dangerous.

‘The monster doesn’t care about men and women.….’

It’s safe in Seoul, but monsters usually appear at night. After the Esper fan meeting, it was an ambitious time of 9 o’clock, so it bothered him.

So I decided to personally bring his sister back. Let’s try to act like a younger brother.

***

After that day.

I’ve been at work, home, company, home for a while…… While going to work like hell, I honestly forgot about the Esper fan meeting.

[Lee Sol: Hey! You didn’t forget today, right?]

[Me: Hmm?]

[Lee Sol: Today’s fan meeting]

[Lee Sol: Come to the Art center by 9 o’clock today!]

[Me: Of course, I knew ]

[Lee Sol: Thank you!]

On the day of the Esper fan meeting.

My sister messaged me just in case I forgot. I pretended to remember, but I only remembered thanks to her.

After work, as I got into the car tired, I scanned the navigation and drove to the three-star art center where the Esper fan meeting was held.

“Oh…… You arrived sooner than I thought.”

When I pulled up to the public parking lot near the art center and checked the clock, there was still an hour left until the end of the Esper fan meeting.

To kill time, I didn’t want to work overtime, so I came straight here.

I was hanging around the huge art center building, and I found the restaurant street when I realized that I couldn’t even eat dinner because I was coming here straight from work.

“Wait a minute. Can I see your ticket?”

“I’m not going to an Esper fan meeting here, I’m going to a restaurant……. Do I still have to have a ticket?”

“Oh…… I see. Please use gate A for the restaurant street, not this way. You can go straight to the left along this street.”

“I see.”

As there were a lot of people, it seemed that one entrance was used exclusively for the Esper fan meeting. Although I bumped into a fan meeting staff member at the entrance, gate A was still not far away.

A bit explanation for the names since I became confused with the use of Yi, Lee and I

이이소 – Lee Yi-Soo [Main Character]

이솔 Lee Sol – Yi-Soo’s older sister

Correct me if I’m wrong, I attached the hangul with the names I would be using. If there is anything wrong please feel free to tell me.
