Chapter 218
‘They must have been talking about Han Yeoreum.’
Han Taeyang was quick to catch on. Now as soon as he sat down, obviously the 【Em-Bubu】 trailer and Han Yeoreum talk would start….
“Hey, Han Taeyang! Did you watch the Spain match yesterday?”
“…I didn’t watch it.”
“It was amazing. Hey, guess what the score was.”
But it was strange. Everyone just talked about soccer. Just like usual. As if not a single person knew about 【Em-Bubu】.
Ding-dong-dang-dong-.
The preparatory bell rang. Until then, no talk about Han Yeoreum had come up. Han Taeyang took out his textbook and opened it with a puzzled feeling.
“Hey! Kids, hello-. In this class there’s Han….”
Right. Now it’s coming.
‘First come first served, but let’s exclude the teachers.’
Because there were fewer teachers compared to all the students, and it would be unseemly if a Han Yeoreum autograph theft incident occurred in the faculty office.
Han Taeyang looked at the Korean teacher who opened the door and entered energetically.
“Han, well. The curriculum is progressing appropriately. That’s right! These kids are like proper seniors! Then open to page 27.”
The students sitting behind Han Taeyang finally smiled and nodded. A day earlier, all the students except Han Taeyang had already coordinated their response.
“No wonder…. He was too much of a fanboy….”
“There was a reason for the Pi Chaewon patrol unit.”
Right after filming 【Pacheci】, Han Taeyang was called either a Pi Chaewon fanboy or the Pi Chaewon patrol unit. A few brave souls who tried to ask ‘Is the sister you mentioned who’s preparing to be an actress Han Yeoreum? The surname seems the same, sorry if not.’ disappeared into history.
“Shut up! This guy won’t stop talking!”
Even though it was a one-on-one conversation, they had to suffer the shock of listening to a one-sided speed lecture.
Victims kept appearing who had to listen to Han Taeyang, who usually didn’t talk much, talking about his sister with precise diction and rapid breathing.
“Let’s not mess with him. His talking gets really long.”
That made sense, since they were seniors. They wanted to get through this year without incident. After that, Class 3-3 would shake their heads with menacing expressions every class period when teachers came in and tried to talk about 【Em-Bubu】.
The math teacher who finished class and left the Class 3 classroom felt warmth in his heart.
“Having a celebrity sibling, the way they’re being considerate…. It’s really beautiful…. Anyway. Our kids really have warm hearts too.”
Incidentally, he didn’t know that those warm-hearted kids had assigned shifts to patrol the underclassmen who came to see Han Taeyang every break between classes. A quiet purge was taking place.
“Excuse me, is Han here-“
“Please leave.”
“What? We just have something to say for a moment-“
“Just leave, please. I’m listening to Suneung Special right now.”
The 3-3 friends who had somehow become Han Taeyang’s honorary firefighters had to extinguish, extinguish, and extinguish again the sparks that were trying to ignite.
Han Taeyang definitely felt gazes on him, but experienced the strange day where they would disappear when he turned his head.
“Hey! How many autograph requests came in!”
“There weren’t any?”
“…What? Don’t lie.”
“Really. There aren’t any. You need to work harder.”
Yeoreum, who had prepared autographs on papers in advance, sat down in dejection.
[Teen Anonymous Board/ I go to the same school as ㅇㅂㅂ ㅎㅇㄹ’s younger sibling (verified)]
We were in the same class in freshman year and this kid barely said a word… So at first I was like “ah lol this guy really looks the part” but once you pressed some button he’d talk a fucking ton. How much? Even though he was clearly handsome, I unconsciously wanted to punch him. But I held back because, well, he was good-looking
Anyway, we filmed Pachinko at our school, and back then nobody knew HYR’s real name.. he was a rookie so whatever. Every time I tried to post about spotting him, HYR’s younger sibling would come up to me like some kind of patrol squad and be like “delete that photo and use this one instead” while handing me another picture, but crazy bastard do you think my phone storage is a joke?? Still, I put up with it because he’s handsome
Then last year when ㄱㅁㄷ took off and Han Yeoreum became somewhat famous, the kids did get suspicious because they had the same last name… Now everyone knows she’s Han Yeoreum’s younger sister, so they finally understand why she was so strict about monitoring. But how do I wrap this up ㅜ Anyway, sorry if this wasn’t interesting
-Hahahahaha aww so cute ㅠㅠㅠ So what’s your little sister’s number?
What are you doing? hahahaha
-If you’re gonna make shit up at least put effort into it, so boring
ㄴㄱㅆ: It’s not fake lol why would I fake something like this ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ
Ugh, so cringe… Kids who fantasize about being gay always act like this. You don’t have a younger brother, do you? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ You idiot
Seriously, what are you doing? Are you gonna be a prosecutor couple when you turn twenty?
“Ah, but it’s real…!”
“This girl making noise at dawn…. What are you doing right now? What is a senior doing? Holding a cell phone in your hands?”
“Mom, don’t open my door without permission! Ah, get out!”
“Good job, good job!”
And that dawn, the post with six comments was deleted. Han Yeoreum, who suddenly had zero autograph requests despite appearing on a terrestrial variety show, fell asleep in tears.
* * *
“Wow-. It’s starting-.”
Friday evening, an office worker holding a can of beer sat in front of the TV. The 【Em-Bubu】 opening was beginning.
The office worker who had followed along with all of Han Yeoreum’s filmography was really happy to hear that Han Yeoreum would appear on the variety show he happened to be watching.
‘That was really good back then!’
The office worker had contributed significantly to the lantern scene, which was one of the most acclaimed scenes in 【Strange Tales】. Thanks to the two people who wore the carefully prepared hanbok well, hanbok rental shops around Gyeongbokgung Palace experienced a boom.
The office worker looked at Han Yeoreum introducing herself in the opening with a proud expression.
“Hello. I’m rookie actress Han Yeoreum.”
Along with Yeoreum’s greeting, brief footage flashed by. The regular panelists around her made a fuss, saying they were fans.
“Do you live with your parents?”
“No. I live together with just my younger brother. Both my brother and I, because of school….”
“You live separately. If you don’t mind me asking, how old is your brother?”
“He’s a senior this year.”
At the mention of senior year, the office worker unconsciously let out a sigh.
“Oh my….”
It was a very sensitive time. The regular panelists also encouraged Han Yeoreum.
“That’s when they need a lot of attention.”
“But taking care of your brother while doing acting work and even your own studies? Hey, that’s not ordinary.”
The screen switched. As always, Han Yeoreum had introduced herself, and then talked about her day that she would show.
“Let’s not regret it! That’s my motto. I try to do my best as an actress, as a student, and as the Han Yeoreum that someone knows. Because 24 hours is too short.”
It started with Han Yeoreum’s moving scene. Han Yeoreum appeared among the piled-up moving boxes.
“Hello. Today is the first day of moving. This year, in order to balance returning to school with acting work… our company manager helped us move near the school.”
Yeoreum held up a self-cam. And gestured to someone.
“Taeyang, come here.”
“Why.”
“Don’t ask, just-.”
“You have to tell me the reason for me to go.”
“Sister started filming. I told you to come.”
The office worker, who was the second of three daughters, felt a familiar feeling.
‘…It’s like when my older sister calls me in front of guests…?’
Usually not even calling by name, speaking affectionately and then suddenly showing a bit of true personality.
“This is my younger brother. Taeyang-, say hello.”
“Hello. I’m Han Taeyang.”
And the screen switched to an inner thoughts interview.
Caption: Please introduce yourself briefly.
-Yes. I’m Han Taeyang, younger brother of rising actress Han Yeoreum of the KNUA golden class, who made her screen debut with 【Faster Than Law】 and simultaneously achieved ten million viewers, 1.07 million Yoosta followers.
Along with sound effects like a toy ball bouncing, the regular panelists’ reaction expressions appeared.
“What is this?”
“She gave him allowance to make him say that! This person!”
“No, I didn’t do that!”
The panelists chasing after Yeoreum, who was waving her hands in denial, laughed wickedly. The professional broadcasters knew the editing points.
“What does she do to her brother when no one’s watching….”
“Is this why you brought your brother? For this?”
Leaving behind Yeoreum with a red face, Taeyang in the screen was still in the middle of his interview.
Caption: Do you usually get along well with your sister?
-We’re just like ordinary siblings. Since my sister started working in society early, she’s mature in many ways. Since I’m still a minor, I depend on her a lot. Things to learn….
However, scenes completely opposite to the interview appeared.
“Where’s the album?”
“That’s in the third box. Don’t go spreading out albums again and organize properly.”
Taeyang organized like a well-trained company employee. He didn’t ask questions like “Sis, where should I put this?”
“Wait, are siblings normally this quiet with each other?”
“Yes. Well… there’s really nothing much to talk about.”
“Just orders like ‘make ramen’? That’s about all I’ve heard from my sister.”
The Panelists went after Han Yeoreum again.
“So that’s how the allowance incident…”
“I really didn’t see her that way…”
“I’m telling you, I really didn’t make him do it…”
Yeoreum being teased among the seniors was cute. The Office Worker smiled warmly, but then thought of his own older sister.
“Hey, Han Taeyang!!! The delivery’s here!!!”
Every time I heard summer’s patriarchal voice, every time he called me “hey” instead of my name without realizing it, the grill was flooded with “ㅋㅋㅋㅋ”.
