I Dumped Her Not Knowing That She Was My Favorite

050. reason for kindness

I was about to fold the paper bag that had contained the porridge and take it home.

-weiying

ringing vibrations.

Confirming that it was Minji, I brought the phone to my ear.

[hello?]

[uh. why?]

[Doaya! You listen to advertisements!]

[yes.]

I wondered what was going on with that very urgent voice.

[Did you submit an interim report?]

[Paid. Wasn’t that until today?]

Today, I was planning to meet and play with my brother, so I had already submitted it before the broadcast yesterday.

[Where did you get that?]

Where are you? that’s it…

[Isn’t that the professor’s email?]

I remember that you even wrote the address on the blackboard to mail it to me last week.

[hey. that has changed You didn’t see the notice on the school site either.]

[What?]

[ah. I just watched it because the kids told me about it, but they say there’s no such thing as a real dog?]

no. I wondered what the hell this meant, but if anything could be corrected, it was right to do it now.

[So, where should I pay now? Until when?]

[There is an assignment submission section on our online page? You have to pay there.]

[ah. what. really.]

petulance.

It was really irritating.

no. Did you let me know at least at the end of the exam period?

I could feel the rage coming from deep within the system that was completely messed up.

Let’s check the school’s official app, and I read the notice stuck in the corner, and I was seriously afraid of horoscope terrorism in the professor’s evaluation.

Who is making this announcement?

[The submission deadline seems to have been set so that it shows up with 15 minutes left, right? Hurry up!]

[Yes. Thank you so much. It’s Minji. thank you!]

After I hung up, I thought I should go home and upload again…

As soon as I grabbed the doorknob, a thought crossed my mind.

…Did you do it right?

If Minji and I didn’t know, there was a high chance that my brother would have been mistaken.

As I was about to unlock the door, I shouted the fuck in my heart and sat back down on my brother’s computer chair.

Press the power button.

“brother.”

Taemin oppa is sleeping as if he had passed out.

Ah… what should I do with this…

Pain is pain and this is this.

It was a pity to wake him up, but it was unavoidable.

“brother! brother!”

When there was no response even after gentle shaking, I grabbed his shoulder a little violently and shook it.

“Advertising now! report! I have to send it back!”

half-closed eyes.

My brother shook his head.

“No… I sent them all…”

“no! Not that! I’m not sending it to the professor’s mail! Submit to the school page!”

Maybe he was drunk, so he couldn’t come to his senses.

“no. Doaya… why aren’t you going home…”

You’re not going because you’re afraid something might go wrong with your report! this man!

“brother. Wake up.”

As I grabbed both of my arms and pulled them in the opposite direction with all my strength, my brother stumbled and got up from the bed.

“Sit here.”

Having succeeded in getting the corpse to sit in front of the computer, I clicked on the Internet window and opened the school page.

“Try logging in.”

Oppa who sleeps while sitting down.

Mr. Hi… Really… I have to do mine too…

Still, when I clicked the login button, I was able to log in right away because the ID and password were saved.

great. If so, I might just give it away.

“brother.”

“…yes?”

“I will do this for you. Go back to sleep.”

“…yes.”

Having my brother delivered to the bed again, I clicked the file upload button.

The title for submitting the document was fixed anyway, so it wasn’t too difficult to find the file.

“Interim report on advertising theory… Han Tae-min…”

great. Coming right out

After successfully uploading the file, I quickly hit the logout button and tried logging in with my account.

Once you go to the mail and download the file… If you upload it here again…

Somehow I managed to finish mine, and I let out a deep sigh.

Ah… you bastard professor… really…

uhh…

I have to send Minji a coffee gifticon.

If the phone call hadn’t come, you wouldn’t know anything, and in the next class, ‘Eh…? Did I pay…?’ wouldn’t it be like this

Just thinking about it would make me want to die.

Haa… I thought I’d just turn off my computer and go, so I grabbed the mouse.

It was the moment when I was about to turn off the Internet by pressing the logout button.

[Ruka025’s broadcast…]

…what. this.

The mouse pointing to the top bar to click the X stops moving.

A very familiar page name.

There was no way I wouldn’t recognize this.

Who can’t even find out his home address?

But the important thing was that this space where I was turning on my computer was not my house.

I found my other name on my brother’s favorites tab and was about to click on it.

“Doah.”

“…yes?”

I was so shocked that I thought I was out of breath.

When I turned my head and looked back, what was waiting for me was Taemin oppa, who was sitting on the bed and staring at me with mischievous eyes.

“What was it?”

“yes?”

“ah. I was so busy sleeping that I couldn’t hear what you were saying.”

My brother must have come to his senses now, got up and stood behind me.

“It looks like you just entered the school page.”

“Ah… yes… that… that… the professor made the wrong announcement…”

When I explained everything, my brother showed a similar reaction to me.

“Wow… that’s a really bad answer… Professor…”

“So. There must be a lot of kids today.”

“I’m really glad you’re here.”

My brother gave me a pleasant smile, but my actions squirmed like a broken doll.

“Aha… Yes… brother. Then I will go now.”

“thank you. Doaya.”

“no. brother, you need to rest now. I’m sorry for waking you up.”

“Nope. If you hadn’t done it, I could have been graded as 0 points, but what?”

“Don’t come out, I’m just resting.”

“okay. I’m sorry for today, let’s go somewhere nice together next time.”

I ran out of my brother’s house as if running away.

* * *

…you know that.

It was a story that could not have been established without that.

I was able to realize the reason for the kindness my brother had shown me until dawn.

My brother knew everything.

The fact that I am Luca.

That I’m a fucking otaku virtual streamer who likes anime.

Then you must have known that I broadcasted without meeting you yesterday, right?

“under.”

My appearance is so funny that I can’t help but laugh.

Just because I look so stupid.

How pathetic I looked in my brother’s eyes.

All the moments with my brother, those times when my heart pounded so hard, I really feel denied…

It was the worst.

Of course, it’s possible that this wasn’t true.

Oppa is really just a person who likes Luka, a virtuoso, and he may not think that Kim Do-ah is the same person.

However, I thought it was a biased commentary that interpreted it as it pleased.

My brother is not stupid.

Even if I had only watched the birthday broadcast yesterday, there was no way I wouldn’t have noticed that it was me.

I can’t fall asleep even though I’m lying in bed.

What should I do?

pretend you don’t know

Should I meet my brother again with a smile as if nothing had happened?

no. i can’t do that

I didn’t have the confidence to keep seeing my brother with such anxiety at all.

Even so, he said to his brother openly, ‘Brother. I’m Luca, so let’s meet?’

that’s so scary

What if it’s right

What if I said I did it because I just wanted to play with a virtuber?

To be honest, if he was at the level of his older brother’s appearance, it wouldn’t seem strange to say such a thing.

I was so upset that I couldn’t sleep…

-weiying

My cell phone vibrates and I grope next to my pillow.

Who are you at this hour?

[Doah. Today is really really… -Han Taemin]

It didn’t look like anything bad was written on it, but I was afraid to open it.

Because I feel like I have to reply.

Still, I was curious about the contents, so I tried a small trick.

[Do you want to activate airplane mode?]

I pressed the OK button and connected to the messenger as it was.

A yellow bar that does not disappear.

I slowly read my brother’s lengthy message.

[Doah. I’m really really sorry today.]

[It’s your birthday, so I wanted to take you to a nice place and have a good time, but as you’ve seen, I’m not feeling well.]

[I came to play, but I couldn’t even treat myself, and I think I was lying like a beggar, but when I came to my senses, I was embarrassed.]

[I checked the exam, and it would have been a real big trouble without you.]

[A lot of kids around me have been hurt too. They ran rampant all the way to protest in their chat room.]

[Professor, maybe there are some kids who insist that they report it to the school if they get grades, so maybe some kind of action will be taken?]

[Anyway, that’s it, I’ll cook for you next time instead of buying you porridge today!]

[I felt like I was going to live a bit after eating and sleeping and waking up!]

[See you in the morning when you go to school on Monday!]

[Thank you so much for today!]

A puppy emoji runs with a heart in its mouth.

oh what should we do.

Is there no refund for love?
