My Maid Is the Most Beautiful Girl in School

Chapter 71

＜Episode 71＞ Rainy season 1

On the way back after stopping by the mart with Si-eun.

It wasn’t too far away, but the steps were slow. From cold street to body wash, it was because he was holding an envelope full of various things in both hands.

Si-eun, who was walking before, asked, looking back with an apologetic face.

“Is it heavy? Shall I listen?”

“it’s okay.”

He shook his head instead of his hand.

Anyway, the envelope is still in Si-eun’s hands. For me, I wanted to hear that as well.

I put the weight in my bag, so it must be heavier. It cannot be passed on to Si-eun. I didn’t even know how to help with household chores, so I wanted to help with this.

Si-eun comes to the grocery store once a day. Therefore, there was no need to shop this much on the day of setting up a supreme feast. It was very unusual to have such a heavy load.

Think of a conversation you had after lunch.

Si-eun always said, “I’ll go out for a while.” He leaves the same words and suddenly goes to the mart. It seemed that he was taking care of himself so as not to feel sorry for sending Si-eun alone.

But today was different.

“I, there… … .”

Si-eun, who was reading a book in my room, hesitated in a voice mixed with hesitation.

As I waited for the next words to say something out of the blue, Si-eun put on a look of embarrassment.

“Let’s go to the mart together… … Can I come and go?”

“yes. Okay.”

Upon responding immediately, Si-eun bowed her head and expressed her gratitude.

Is this something to be so sorry for? I approached Si-eun and brushed her hair.

“Now he’s my boyfriend, and from now on, he’ll be my husband. You can do anything like that.”

Si-eun, who had quietly felt my hand gestures, raised her head.

“Ugh, but that’s… … .”

“yes.”

“It looks like you have a lot of luggage today.”

“okay?”

Si-eun nodded her head slightly at the sound of the question.

“It is said that it is the rainy season from tomorrow. It’s going to rain for a while, so I’m going to buy a lot today and then don’t go out until the rain stops.”

“Oh~”

I also heard that the rainy season is coming soon. It was loud in the news, so I couldn’t have known if I didn’t know.

The rainy season usually starts in June, but this year there was no torrential rain until mid-July. Therefore, it may be raining a lot at the end of July, it was an article like this.

In contrast, Si-eun seemed to want to shop a lot in advance.

“it’s okay. Come with me.”

well, it doesn’t matter As he continued to stroke Si-eun’s hair, Si-eun smiled and stood up.

“Then shall we go right away? It might rain if it’s late. The sky is already overcast.”

“yes.”

I agreed, then got up from my chair.

And now, I seemed to understand why Si-eun was so sorry. The burden was so heavy that I felt as if my shoulders were about to be pulled out.

Still, if it’s not a time like this, wouldn’t there be a chance to show a cool side? Pretending to be okay as much as possible, I took off my feet.

Something suddenly came to mind.

“This reminds me of the past.”

“A long ago?”

To Si-eun, who is tilting in front of her, “Yeah.” and after answering.

“Then, when you first came. You said we should go to the supermarket together.”

“Uh huh… … .”

How do you make a sound of pain?

“why?”

“No, that’s it.”

Si-eun paused for a moment, then continued to stutter.

“At that time… … I remember pretending to be strong.”

“Pretend to be strong?”

“okay.”

Si-eun gently shook the envelope.

“From what I saw at school… … You looked a little sassy. So I didn’t think anything was going to happen. Still, I’m a little worried because I’m living with a man. So… … I wanted to show a strong side so that I wouldn’t be fooled.”

“Well.”

Si-eun, who continued the long explanation, was moving with her eyes only facing forward. I had no way of knowing with what expression he was telling this story.

I silently ponder Si-eun’s words.

I’ve heard similar stories. Didn’t Si-eun, who was awake until late, tell me? Realizing that I live in the same house with a man makes me nervous. So I won’t be able to sleep.

After that, Si-eun slowly opened her heart and it was resolved naturally.

Si-eun, when she was just starting out as a housekeeper, had such a deep inside. What was somewhat vague became clear. Looking back now, it was a pretty interesting background.

He smiled softly and said.

“Things like that happen, too.”

“Do you understand?”

“Whatever, I had no idea.”

When I asked to go to the mart together, well, I agreed because we were going to pick up household items for our house.

Isn’t it too reasonable to say that you are worried about living with a man? Si-eun, who accepted it without saying anything, felt strange again.

thinking back… … In order to save even a single penny of money, I might have accepted it while trying to erase the worries swirling inside me.

Because there was such a time, this time now shines even brighter.

“Let’s go.”

Si-eun tilted her head as she suddenly uttered a prompting word.

“Why all of a sudden?”

He replied with a smile.

“I want to hug you, but I can’t raise my arm because of the envelope.”

“What are you talking about.”

Shi-eun chuckled softly, biting her tongue.

I was happy to see that my heart seemed lighter.

At that moment, a drop of water fell on the hand holding the envelope.

I looked towards Si-eun, wondering if it was an illusion, and Si-eun was also making eye contact with me. As you can see, it doesn’t look like you’re mistaken.

“Is it raining?”

“It seems so.”

“I don’t think this is the time to take it easy.”

It was as Si-eun pointed out. We don’t have an umbrella right now, and even if we have one, we can’t use it. I’m glad I don’t have much left to go home. It seemed that he had no choice but to run.

“let’s hurry.”

“yes.”

Following Si-eun’s words, we quickly ran to the building where the house was located.

◎

It didn’t take long for the rain to thicken. Considering the distance, it was enough to arrive quickly, but he could not speed up because his hands were full of luggage. Eventually we got soaked in the rain.

Si-eun agreed to shower first. After taking a shower, I checked out Si-eun and headed to the shower room.

After washing up, Si-eun was looking outside through the balcony window.

“It’s raining a lot.”

At Si-eun’s words, I looked outside. It was pouring rain from the sky.

As the rainy season starts late, the century will be huge. It actually seemed like that. It would have been nice if he had predicted that it would rain from today with that ability.

“It’s the rainy season.”

He gave a natural answer and stood next to Si-eun.

Si-eun’s body, which had just been washed, smelled fragrant. Slightly wet hair and moist skin. Without realizing it, I almost reached out my hand.

He tried to hide his heart and opened his mouth.

“Would you like to go out and have a look?”

“caliber?”

“yes. I wanted to talk while watching the rain.”

When I looked at him sideways, Si-eun looked like he was saying something like a stinkin’ thing.

“Sometimes it’s good to have time to talk.”

When I said it with a smirk, Si-eun blinked her big eyes.

“You can talk in the room.”

“… … That’s right.”

I didn’t think of that. Mixing admiration, “Are you a genius?” Si-eun asked, “Are you an idiot?” Maybe it is.

But Si-eun let out a shallow sigh.

“okay. Wear only one outfit.”

He said this and went to his room.

Si-eun returned after a while, wearing a thin cardigan. Even in midsummer, it will be cool outside if it rains. Si-eun gets a fever from time to time, so I thought it would be better to prepare like this.

When I went out to the balcony, the air was cold. My body seems to be trembling. Maybe it’s because I just came out of a hot shower?

Fortunately, the wind is not strong, so the rain doesn’t come in. We were able to talk for a while.

I turned around and looked inside the balcony.

The recycling bins were empty. Did I throw it away before the news that it was going to rain? Anyway, Si-eun is thoroughly prepared.

The flowers that had been placed there at some point did not die and were growing hard. This is also thanks to the management of Si-eun.

Si-eun pays much more attention to my house than I do. Expressing my gratitude inwardly, I asked Si-eun.

“Do you like rain?”

“I hate being hit.”

“Does anyone like being fit?”

“There may be.”

Si-eun replied with a playful smile. I can’t say that there is no such thing in the world.

“Still, I like to stare blankly outside while listening to the sound of rain. It also makes me feel calmer.”

“Well, I know what you mean.”

In my case, I don’t like rainy days very much. Because the air feels damp and droopy.

Still, watching the rain fall makes me feel like my head is in order. There were aspects of Si-eun’s words that were somewhat sympathetic.

“Because I am doing this.”

In the sound of the pouring rain, Si-eun’s voice mixed in.

“yes.”

In response, Si-eun took a step closer to me, looked up at me and raised the corners of her mouth.

“I remember the day you confessed to me.”

“ah.”

Come to think of it, this was the place where I confessed to Si-eun. It was after I had come back from a date night out and heard about Si-eun’s mother.

Si-eun looks at her with sullen eyes.

“I was surprised then. Because you like me.”

“okay?”

“yes. You said you like me, even if you didn’t even look at women… … I didn’t expect you to speak so passionately.”

“I didn’t know either. I don’t think you’ll ever say it like that.”

He replied with a smirk.

Originally, I had no plans to confess on the spot. At the time, I never dreamed that Si-eun would like me.

However, I threw a confession out of a bit of trepidation. At that time, I just wanted to convey my feelings to Si-eun, who refused my help.

“I thought there was no way a woman who was this pretty, popular, and even kind would like me.”

“what.”

Si-eun smiles shyly.

Well, isn’t it all true? It may even be a part of acknowledging yourself. Am I ashamed to hear it with my own mouth again? I don’t know if I really know Si-eun’s intentions.

“Looking back now, we were both very frustrated.”

“I know.”

As soon as she agreed to it, Si-eun laughed softly. I couldn’t hold back the burst of laughter either.

Soon, Si-eun took hold of the cardigan that was on her body and parted her lips.

“at that time… … When you said you would help.”

“yes.”

“Did I say something too harsh?”

“Severe words?”

what did you hear As if to stop me trying to recall, Si-eun’s words continued immediately.

“Don’t be sympathetic. Just like before, I’ll survive somehow, so give up. When you said you would help, you only gave me that answer.”

“Ugh.”

Before confession… … It was the answer that Si-eun refused when I said that I would help.

“Sorry.”

Si-eun lowered the volume and said. It was a voice that seemed to be drowned out by the sound of rain.

“It’s funny to apologize now, but… … . At that time, I didn’t want to like you because I was hired by you, and I didn’t like my situation where I had to be paid by the person I liked. That’s what you said.”

After saying a long apology, Si-eun sighed and exhaled.

“Sorry.”

Once again, the words of apology came to mind.

There seemed to be a lot of regret in his eyes.

At that time, I and Si-eun were very confused.

For me, I was completely preoccupied with the fact that I was dating someone I liked. After hearing about Si-eun’s mother, I couldn’t help but get more complicated.

Si-eun must have been better than me.

After hearing my mother’s situation, I wouldn’t have been able to control the confusion. No matter how good the words were, it was a situation in which a sharp reaction could come back. It wasn’t strange at all.

Above all, our relationship and our feelings for me are mixed together… … That feeling was expressed in a different way. There was no doubt that it was something that had to be understood and passed on.

However, Si-eun did not forget what happened that day and even gave her a sincere apology.

It was the same before. Even when I started working as a housekeeper and not long ago, I took out things that I responded somewhat harshly. Si-eun still showed regret.

I can’t even fathom how fragile my heart is.

“it’s okay.”

Saying that, I leaned over to Si-eun.

Then, I wrapped my arm behind Si-eun’s back, grabbed Si-eun’s opposite arm, and gave me strength. I felt Si-eun’s body clinging to me.

“I understand the feeling of pretending to be strong in difficult times. I grew up like that when I was young.”

“yes… … .”

It was still a crawling voice. With strength in his arms, he held Si-eun’s body tightly and continued the story.

“Besides, we are close enough to be honest with you now. What’s the point of doing anything in the past?”

I look up at the raining sky outside.

The sun must have been hiding in the pitch black clouds pouring down rain.

Even Si-eun would have no intention of hurting me. However, Si-eun just wasn’t honest enough to reveal her true feelings. It’s also because I didn’t trust enough.

So, there is no reason to even listen to an apology now.

“Still.”

If only I had one request.

“From now on, we’ll just have to endure it together, so when you’re having a hard time, tell me honestly. You just have to keep it. Even if something happens that you can’t tell, I’ll figure it out somehow. don’t worry.”

“… … yes.”

Si-eun still answered in a small voice.

But I thought it would be fine now.

Si-eun tapped my arm and leaned her head.

In such a posture, the two of us looked outside together, but then Si-eun opened her mouth.

“there.”

“yes.”

Si-eun’s voice is full of playfulness.

“You don’t have envelopes in your hands right now?”

“… … ?”

What do you want to talk about? After thinking about it for quite some time, I realized the meaning.

“Even if I want to be honest.”
