Chapter 14: I became Noona’s one-day model

<Yun Ho’s POV>

Entering the mart, we browsed through the grocery section, and I picked up a discounted item that caught my eye and said to Si Eun,

“Si Eun, how about this?

It’s on sale right now.”

“Yun Ha, don’t worry about sales, just buy whatever you want.”

“But still…”

At my words, Si Eun patted my head, saying it was okay.

Her touch was quite warm.

Her touch was much gentler than when she hit me before.

I was engrossed in that touch, and for several minutes.

“Yun Ha…?

What’s wrong?

You’ve been spaced out for minutes.”

“Ah, sorry, I guess I was just a little engrossed.”

At those words, Si Eun made an emotional face.

As if finally, her pet, who wouldn’t listen no matter how much she trained him, had listened and done as she trained.

Then, Si Eun grabbed my wrist and went to the meat section, picking up some Korean beef.

Korean beef that I couldn’t even imagine buying with the money I earned when I was a man.

“Si Eun, aren’t you overdoing it?

Even so, it’s Korean beef…”

“It’s okay, Yun Ha.

Even if I look like this, Unni’s pretty rich.”

With those words, Si Eun gave a proud smile.

It was the same expression that Si Eun often made to people when she was young.

Except for me.

And suddenly, that Si Eun was taking care of me like this.

Did me becoming a woman mark the turning point for Si Eun to cherish me?

Then was TS disease related to Si Eun…?

‘That’s impossible.

Yi Yun Ha, you’re being pretty delusional?’

I pushed aside the ridiculous thought and looked at Si Eun.

Her smile was so warm that I wanted to live like this forever.

‘Still, if I got caught thinking like this, I might get subjected to some strange things like last time.’

While I was thinking that, Si Eun, who had already finished putting the meat in, looked at me and opened her mouth.

“Our Yun Ha, let’s buy you some clothes!”

“Huh?

Clothes…?”

“Yeah, you don’t have any clothes that fit you now, right?

Even if you do, they’re all kid’s clothes.

So, let’s go buy some clothes!”

I couldn’t hide my awkward expression as Si Eun dragged me along.

To a clothing store.

To a place where there were employees who kept talking to you uncomfortably if you just stood there.

“Wow~!

So cute!”

Si Eun said, taking several photos.

Um…

Even so, wasn’t this a little too much…?

“Um… Si Eun…?

You don’t really need to take that many…”

“I do!!!

I definitely do, so be quiet and just let me take them!”

What was with just let me take them…

I quietly sighed and became Si Eun’s one-day model.

And after several minutes, the ‘one outfit’ was finally over.

Si Eun took all the pictures and made an expression as if something was missing, then disappeared somewhere.

‘Huh…?

Is she just going to disappear like this?’

I stared at the place where Si Eun had disappeared for dozens of seconds.

What stole my gaze was a man.

That man… looked really sinister.

His hair was longer than when I was holed up at home, and he was giving off an eerie aura.

“Hey, little girl, why don’t you come play at mister’s house today?

I have lots of fun things.”

I knew it as soon as I heard those words.

This bastard was a pedophile.

I wanted to kick that bastard’s precious parts right now, but…

‘It wouldn’t work.’

Would a small girl generally be able to beat an adult man in strength?

“N-no thanks…!”

Then, the man frowned, strongly grabbed my wrist and said,

“Why is a kid talking back so much!”

and tried to drag me away by force.

As I was being dragged out of the clothing store, I couldn’t help but cry.

I cried and tried to shake his hand off, but it was no use.

Then,

“What the f*ck… What is going on here…?”

I was able to find Si Eun, who was extremely pissed off, more than I had ever seen her.
