Chapter 16: Sister
The feelings between people are both delicate and strange, and people say that they fall in love for a long time, but they say that they fall in love at first sight, which shows that human feelings are full of uncertainty.
Maybe it's just because I took one more look at you in the crowd that I never forgot your face. There is always such a person who you don't hate at first sight, and there is a little extra care, but is this affection love?
Not necessarily.
There can be many kinds of feelings between people, love, family, and friendship. Everyone has a different position around them, the position of the lover, the position of the family, the position of the friend. A normal person, after birth, there is no vacancy in the position of his family, and the position of his friends will be slowly filled as he grows up, so he is looking for his lover.
One is the foundation, the other is the advancement, and the other is the dream. These three emotions form a set of armor that protects a person's fragile heart.
But for an orphan like Ah Jiu, he has no foundation, no protection, and his sense of security comes from his own strength. But how long can a strong person be strong? Can he remain strong? There will always be a time when he is vulnerable, and a vacancy is a vacancy, and if it is not filled, it will remain vacant.
For his parents, Ah Jiu never thought about it. A person who doesn't even remember what his parents look like, although he longs for his parents' affection, but before the desire, there is still a layer of separation, similar to hate, but it is not, that is a kind of resistance.
For his older sisters, maybe when he was young, he would have longed for their protection, but since he hadn't suffered any losses in fighting since he was ten years old, he wanted to protect each other more than being protected.
Then only the younger brother and sister are left, based on the principle of same-sex repelling opposite-sex attracting, he is a man, and the relatives who are more eager in his heart are naturally more inclined to his sister.
What kind of fun a younger sister will add to life, Ah Jiu's heart has always been looking forward to it. So he was tempted when he heard IU's proposal, but he was afraid that it was a game, so he couldn't help but agree.
Human beings have little ability to resist the desire of the heart.
……
"Alright, take it all away. ”
Ah Jiu put away the contract written by IU, and IU folded it away as well. She hadn't recovered from the conversation she had just had, and her expression was a little dumbfounded. Ah Jiu looked at her, and suddenly had a feeling of 'I have a sister' in his heart, just like picking up a piece of paper on the street, and suddenly found that it was a 5 million lottery ticket, unexpected joy, surprise and joy.
But after being happy, he was worried that this was a dream. Who loses 5 million lottery tickets will not look for it? When people find them, will they return it or keep it for themselves?
Ah Jiu was in such a mood now, but he didn't want to think about it soon. Life in the world should be happy in time, while this sister is still there, while the vacancy around her is filled, you should enjoy family affection in time, so as not to regret it when you lose it.
When Ah Jiu was thinking about this, IU was secretly looking at him, guessing what he was thinking, and also thinking about how to say the first words after recognizing his brother. Just thinking about it, Ah Jiu spoke first.
"Have you eaten? Hungry?"
IU was stunned for a moment, smiled, and nodded vigorously: "Well, brother will cook for me." ”
"Silly girl, there is nothing at home, what do you cook. Ah Jiu got up: "Let's go, happy today, brother invites you to a big meal." ”
"Okay. IU went to pull Ah Jiu's hand, smiling happily, but thinking in his heart that when he came back later, he would buy all the household appliances he thought of on the Internet, saving his brother from buying them. Although he promised not to rush to spend money with him, to satisfy his fun of spending money on his sister, but as a younger sister, there is also the fun of taking care of his brother, especially when his brother is still very 'down'.
Take care of each other, so that you can be considered brother and sister, right?
……
Ah Jiu wasn't really hungry at all, he had just eaten a barbecue with Krystal an hour and a half ago, how hungry could he be? But he belonged to the kind of 'unfilled' stomach, even if he was full, he could still choke on a bowl of rice. It's been an hour and a half, and it's no problem to choke on two bowls.
However, in a place like Hongdae, it is not easy to find a restaurant where you can eat. Of course, there are many restaurants where you can eat, but there are few places where IU can have a meal without being disturbed. With her current popularity, in a place like Hongdae...... Just look at the guerrilla dating in "The Entertainer's Agency" to see what the situation is.
You can only find restaurants with partitions or private rooms, but here is Hongdae, which is a 'young man', and there are very few such places.
But fortunately, IU is not very hungry, holding hands with her brother and pressing the road, this feeling is very strange, but inexplicably warm and happy, she likes it very much.
IU didn't wear a mask today, but she still wore a baseball cap with a low brim and a vigilant look.
Ah Jiu looked at her and suddenly smiled: "Don't be so nervous, the more nervous you are, the more strange it is, and the easier it is to be recognized." Naturally, even if you are photographed, just say that I am your agent, and I should be able to get through. ”
"I know......" IU whispered, looked at Ah Jiu, and said, "I can't control it...... I'm just nervous. ”
"It's good to get used to it, as long as you feel open in your heart, it's okay, that's my experience. Saying that, Ah Jiu pulled IU to stop and pointed to the restaurant next to him: "Here we are, this is the closest restaurant with a private room to us." ”
"How do you know?"
Ah Jiu shook his phone: "You can search it." ”
……
Ah Jiu not only searched, but also ordered. There are only two private rooms in this restaurant, and he has already booked one in advance, and he just paid an extra 10,000 won for the private room.
"Do you like to eat beef intestines? I don't like that we can go further. ”
"Don't go, leave it here. IU is still worried about being recognized, and she doesn't want to change it when she touches it, although she doesn't like to eat beef intestines very much, so she can only say that she doesn't hate it.
This is a specialty restaurant specializing in beef intestine tripe, and in addition to beef intestine tripe, there is only fried rice and cold noodles. Ah Jiu had just eaten cold noodles, ordered fried rice as the staple food, and IU 'can't eat carbohydrates', so he ordered a bowl of cold noodles. The main dish is grilled beef sausage and grilled tripe, all of which are the same, the difference is only in a few servings.
Ah Jiu ordered three servings and asked for another bottle of soju. He does not have the habit of drinking, but in the minds of the Chinese, how can he drink without alcohol at a big event? Knowing a sister is a big thing for him, and ordering a bottle of sake is appropriate for the occasion.
Feelings don't mean that there is, although they signed a contract and became brother and sister in name, but after all, they are just strangers who have just known each other for a few days, and it is still difficult to get close.
When the meal was served, both of them subconsciously lowered their heads to eat, only the sound of eating, and there was no communication for a while. When he pressed the road just now, Ah Jiu had already told him about his relationship with Park Chanyoung, why he replaced him to work at KBS, and even the reason why he beat Bian Baekhyun that IU had always wanted to know. The topic seems to be finished, and I don't know what to say, so I'm a little embarrassed for a while.
While the two of them were desperately thinking about the topic, there was a knock on the door.
"Can I come in?"
It wasn't the waiter's voice, IU's expression suddenly became panicked, and she picked up her baseball cap and put it back on.
Ah Jiu took off her hat and motioned for her to be calm. IU was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt very relieved, and his expression softened.
"Please come in. ”
