Chapter 138
Heesu gritted her teeth as she looked at the mirror. Since he would say that the form she had just had wasn’t pretty, she could tell how high his standards were. He probably thought this form was as ugly as a squid or an alien. That must be why he always treated her so harshly.
Jaeha was born with a handsome face and didn’t know the sorrow of ugly people. On the other hand, since she was a child, she had been compared to Jaeha so much when they were together…….
Heesu, who was feeling depressed again as she recalled old memories, sighed and left the room. Jaeha’s expression turned strange again when he saw her.
“Hey. You…….”
Jaeha pointed at Heesu with his hand as if he was dumbfounded and even stammered.
“Huh. Why?”
Heesu asked, inwardly hoping. She had been told she had gotten prettier a lot lately. Because she had lost weight and her skin had gotten better. Even so, she still looked plain compared to her transformed appearance, but it seemed she no longer heard that she was ugly when she went out. So, she wondered if Jaeha was surprised by that change. She held onto that hope, but,
“Why are you so skinny?”
Jaeha shouted with a devastated expression.
“What?”
Heesu was dumbfounded. She had lost weight lately, but she was still chubby at best. Her chubby cheeks were still there, and so was her potbelly. No matter how she thought about it, she wasn’t at a level where she should be told she was skinny.
Heesu stammered with a bewildered expression.
“No, I just lost weight. I’m not skinny…….”
“Then why did you lose so much weight?!”
“I worked out…… I stopped eating instant food and ate healthy food…….”
“How much did those guys exploit you?!”
Jaeha pointed at the demons who were minding their own business, raging. Heesu, who was blinking in confusion, looked back and forth between them and Jaeha, then quickly waved her hands.
“No, that’s not it, Jaeha.”
“Don’t lie!”
“I’m telling you the truth. I just went on a diet.”
“You really…… just keep defending them!”
In the end, Jaeha, unable to contain his anger, got up from his seat. He felt like he would lose his mind and go on a rampage if he stayed here any longer. As he headed for the front door, Heesu chased after him and grabbed his wrist in a hurry.
“Jaeha.”
“What!”
“No, that…….”
Heesu stammered as Jaeha glared at her fiercely. Well, he had been a little hateful before, but thankfulness was still thankfulness, and an obligation was still an obligation. It felt uncomfortable to just let him go like this.
“Well, so…….”
“What!”
“That…”
“Say it!”
“Do you…… want to eat some samgyeopsal before you go?”
Heesu smiled awkwardly as she said that.
“We were originally going to have a samgyeopsal party. If you’re okay with it, you can join us…….”
“…….”
At her words, Jaeha’s expression softened a little. Even so, his furrowed brow was still there.
“You know I don’t eat meat.”
Jaeha said that with an abrupt tone and expression. Heesu suddenly realized and apologized in a hurry.
“Oh, right…… I’m sorry.”
“You don’t have to be sorry. I’m leaving. See you next time.”
“Okay. Thank you so much for this time.”
“If you know that, be more careful with yourself.”
“Okay. I got it.”
When Heesu nodded and let go of his wrist, Jaeha sighed, turned his back, and went outside. When the front door closed, Heesu also turned her back and returned to the living room.
“You said he doesn’t eat meat?”
As soon as she sat on the sofa, Violen asked. His tone was somehow very inquisitive.
“Yeah. Surprising, isn’t it? His demeanor and actions are exactly like a carnivore.”
“He doesn’t eat it at all?”
“Well, he eats minced and cooked meat like pork cutlets or hamburger steaks, but he doesn’t eat raw meat cooked whole like samgyeopsal. And he absolutely hates things like sundae intestines, makchang, or gopchang, too. Anyway, he’s not like that in other ways, but when it comes to his appetite, he’s just like a picky gentleman.”
“I see…….”
Violen nodded and fell into thought.
There’s no way. He must be a carnivore by nature.
His mother was a low-class demon. She was originally a non-human creature. And the species of that creature was definitely…….
“But why do you ask about Jaeha not eating meat?”
Violen, who was suddenly awakened from his thoughts by Heesu’s words, smiled sweetly.
“Oh, no, it’s just that since he’s your precious brother, I want to treat him to something delicious that suits his appetite next time.”
“Right. My Violen is so thoughtful and kind.”
Heesu smiled with satisfaction and stroked Violen’s head. Then, she looked at the front door where Jaeha had disappeared and frowned fiercely.
“But why is Jaeha acting like that?”
“What do you mean?”
“He says my transformed form isn’t pretty, and my current form is skinny……. What’s so wrong with everything?”
Heesu raised her voice, crossing her arms as if she was annoyed.
“Isn’t he just secretly upset that his older sister is getting prettier?”
“…….”
At those words, Violen smiled with an ambiguous expression. He smiled and thought.
He must be going through a lot. I should torment him a little less next time…….
