The Gem of the Land of Ginseng

episode 02

Okay, this is my home. The 2-story house is quite large. I pulled the fence off the house and I parked my bike. Our family has no helpers.

Starting from that moment. Well, I told you there are a few reasons that make me independent right now. At least take care of my own life. Even though I'm not really alone.

Heh? I don't think Dad's home yet? I was immediately greeted with complete darkness. Uh this....

"Electricity out? Tumben really."

I pressed the light switch many times, but it still didn't turn on. Looks like there's damage. Maybe I'll try to fix it later. I took out a small flashlight from inside the bag and started walking in. Damn, my feelings are not calm.

"I'm home! Is anyone home?" Excited but there is no answer. It's true that I haven't come home. I went into the kitchen, picked up a bottle of isotonic drink from the refrigerator, and climbed the stairs.

I highlighted the bathroom and the two rooms above. I thought this house was very quiet. Especially when my dad went to take care of his company. And my father's company is quite far away, in Jakarta. There was little time he spent at home. That is if he can go home. It's outrageous, if you remember Mom already....

Died.

That wasn't long enough, maybe about a year ago. And the loss of a mother really had a pretty big impact on us.

She was only a stepmother, but she loved us, her family. Therefore, when the departure of the mother revealed a deep wound in our hearts. For me, my father, and for..

Her real daughter.

"NO!!" There was a voice in the room that I looked up. I opened the door, apparently unlocked.

Whoever it is I can't see his face clearly because it's dark. All I saw was her body wrapped in a nightgown shaking. His hair covered his entire face. I walked up to him, but he did not flinch and just hugged his legs.

"Oppa, Eoseo-oseyo."

("Welcome, Brother.") The bitter sound mixed with the sobbing left me stunned and dropped my flashlight.

"Euna-an.." Mumbles. His body jumped into me and started beating me in the face. It doesn't hurt, but still.

"Oppa niga miwoyo! Miwo-miwo!!! Oppa motdwaeyo!"

("I hate it too much, brother! Hate-hate-hateii!!! That brother is so evil!") Shouted this girl in front of me while crying.

Also true. My father taught me to live independently since my mother's departure. He purposely laid off the maid in this house so that I would not become a lazy child and only trouble others.

Because, from this moment onwards I will be troubled by others. There's someone I need to protect when Dad's not home. This girl's. Euna Myung Hae, my last angel and one of the jewels in this house. She's my mother's biological daughter, I remember she kept crying and locked herself in the room after she was buried.

Haha this is my t*lol! I can't even realize there's Euna in the house! Obviously, he was afraid of the dark. Not to mention he's alone! T*dol! T*dol! To*ol! I cursed myself. I don't want the same thing to happen again.

"Ahahaha, I thought you were outside so I guess..... Ahahaha.."

I laughed trying to ease her fear. But apparently.....

Fearing huh?

I hugged his body that was beating on me. Our position is very close now. The fragrance of her perfume gushed into my nose. Apparently, she just finished a shower.

"Hahhh, Mian, Oppa jalmosheyo."

("Hahhh, I'm sorry. It's Brother's fault.") I spoke in my Korean language. Why is it so hard to memorize.

"Why don't you say hello?" He muttered in my arms. Ever since my stepmother and my father got married, Euna has been learning Indonesian. Since we met from childhood, he became quite fluent in the language.

But there are some situations that make him unable to bring out his original language. Like when you are scared or angry.

"Udah. You don't realize. Brother shouted earlier."

Because of the aches I justified my position and sat leaning against the wall. As if he didn't want me to run away, he crawled up and buried his head in my chest.

"You really hate the dark, Euna?" Euna was silent. Silence struck us.

But this proves that I'm still too stupid to be a good brother to her. He is 2 years younger than me. Obviously I have to take care of him!

"Bzzztt!!" The lights suddenly light up. My eyes blinked adjusting the bright light entering my retina. The one thing I saw first was the head of the girl with her long black hair. The black sleeveless dress was unable to cover the skin of her white arm and seemed to glow under the light of the lamp.

I stroked the strands of hair that was still wet it. It was seen he had put a small ribbon in his hair. I smiled, he loved cute things.

"Hey, it's okay now. Yuk standing?"

Slowly he relaxed his embrace. I led him to stand up. His face started looking at me. The eyes were like crying for hours. But it did not reduce her sweet and innocent face. His bangs covered his forehead with thin lips and his nose was small and pointed.

I was amazed by the thing that was in front of me. Now her taut fingers began to wipe her tears.

"Oppa neo babo gat - eun!"

("Based on stupid brother!") He said with a hoarse voice. He clutched my clothes tightly. I was just stunned for a moment.

Guys, this is why I don't want to invite you to play at home. This is why I stayed with my single status until the end of High School. I just don't want you guys to know.

*I Sham Hendra Purnama. I am now 18 years old. For some reason, I have a little sister. For some reason, my sister is of Korean descent. And for some reason, I feel the gems to be more beautiful and I like it, as......

My sister*.

 

~•~

 

I opened my eyes slowly. The still dim sunlight file was even too bright for my vision.

"That dream again, huh?" I closed my eyes with one arm. A piercing chill came through the window vents. I turned off the AC. This smell of wet soil reminds me that it's still rainy season.

I walked from the bed to the bathroom. I let the cold water sweep my body from the rest of the dream caress. After putting on my school uniform, I immediately closed the door of my room.

Mi Kwan Yeun's. The Korean woman who made me know what it means to be loved by a mother. I'm not the fetus she conceived, I never gave birth to this world, but she loved me without demanding that condition.

Mi Kwan Yeun, her surname is Taci Yeun. But she and her daughter Euna still use the last name of her late husband, Daihan Hae. And my dad never made a fuss about it. For my father, it was his greatest honor to just leave him like that. A lot has changed since Mom is no longer on our side.

She was the best mother for us. She's just a stepmom, but she's really better. Much better than Mother who made me born into the world only to mourn the sorrow of my young age.

At that time I who was a child did not know the meaning of sex, making love, or the like. I'm just an innocent little boy and have to watch my mother's humiliation unwind with someone who's not her husband.

When I found out, he was very angry and divorced my mother immediately. Then drove my mother out of this house.of course my father was not a netorare maniac or a perverted masochist who was happy to be defeated.

Mi Kwan Yeun, whose existence was able to lift my father from his slump at that time, they met when my father was transferred by his company to Seoul for several months.

My father said, My father was at a coffee shop with his co-workers. My father accidentally saw a woman sitting alone. Yeah, not with anyone. It was just him and the novel he read. My father intended to approach her but it seems that our mother at that time became a woman who was cold towards men. After her husband's death, she said.

But even so my father was not discouraged. With the hard work he did was able to make my mother finally melt as well. After marriage, my father brought his mother and son to meet me in Indonesia.

People say different marriages country is troublesome and many things are the opposite. Yeah, true! Although the hurdle was quite large yet they were able to pass through it.

"Never assume pain is a hindrance in your steps, because pain itself is a fragment that completes your life."

I smiled remembering what my mom and dad said. Right, without injuries, these two people are unlikely to meet.

A giant wedding photo becomes sacred proof. It hangs beautifully on the wall of that room. My eyes lit up a little at the wedding photos of the two of them. Mothers... I miss it so much. And that's what brought me to that girl's meeting. Euna Myung Hae, the small-eyed girl who looked at me shyly behind her mother's feet.

At first she was very scared of me, mother once said that I was like a wayward child so Euna was scared. I also often fucked him. But for reasons I don't understand, she slowly begins to take her distance and be nice. Although not very fast.

I'm not sure why his attitude changed, but I'm grateful for it. The transfer of Euna and her mother makes Euna have to stop her school in Seoul. And inevitably, Euna could not be able to interact with her peers here because she does not understand Indonesian.

Therefore, He routinely undergoes homeschooling for 5 years until He is ready to enter a special female High School beside My School. He is now in his first year of High School. Just like I'm about to graduate high school.

I hurried to put on the apron and prepare breakfast. I can't embarrass Mom and Dad. I must start this morning with vigor! Time has shown at 6am. Shit I'm bad luck. I sat down for a moment and opened the refrigerator.

"Well, die me!!"

Only a few sausages, eggs, tofu, and cheese are available. The most carrots. And Euna doesn't like carrots. But my father gave me a message to finish the groceries before buying again.

What is dong? Rolade Know? I pour the oil over the frying pan, slicing the onions, and the necessary ingredients. Do not forget also I added carrot slices as small as possible and know which has been smoothed and then sauteed.

Chicken in the recipe replaced sausage only time huh? I thought as I shuffled the eggs to make the leather rollade. I cook as fast as I can because I have so little time. After lifting it up and draining it I served it on a plate.

"Done!!" Kupercantik with slada leaves and a small bowl of tomato sauce. Maybe he didn't realize, I thought. I immediately climbed the stairs to Euna's room.

"Yunaaa!! Breakfast is ready! Down first!"

Knock on my sister's bedroom door. There is no truth from within.

"Eunaaa?? It was noon! You went to school today, right?"

"Eunaaa??"

I put my ear to the door. So quiet. Is he still asleep?

"Click!!" I was surprised to see an unlocked doorknob. I opened it and immediately a girlish room greeted me.

Light blue and pink painted walls. And the funny ornaments that hang around the wall. teddy dolls and things like that neatly lined up on his bed.

Come to think of it, other than last night, I haven't been to Euna's room in a long time. Maybe the last time I was in Junior High.

Egh, why? what do I look like a venereal villain now? What is clear is that if I try to enter his room just one step, I will be immediately pelted with pillows and bolsters. How insolent!!

I found someone wrapped in a hello kitty blanket lying on the bed. I opened the curtain until the sunlight could penetrate the window of this room.

"the euna? Let's wake. I'll be late for school." With a flat expression I approached Euna and pulled the blanket down strongly. I found him still asleep.

His face was calm while sleeping. She still wears her black dress last night. But different now I can see clearly his curves hit by the morning sun. His sleeping position is a mess. I can see his neck.

And even worse, the bottom of the dress was exposed to the stomach. Flat stomach with the navel hole.

Shit, why do I remember last night? her face was so sweet last night, and now she's kind of showing a perverted pose in front of her brother.

His chest up and down regularly indicates he is in deep sleep. Nafasku. Athaghfirullah, I am his brother! Since when have I seen it with this bej*t look!

"Now she is your sister, her name is Euna Myung Hae. You can call her Euna." My father's voice made my mind clear again. Immediately I pulled my hand and covered my sister's body with a blanket.

"Hey, Euna. ppalli il-eonaja.!"

("Hey, Euna. Come on, wake up!") I said while patting my sister's cheek slowly. His eyes began to blink. He rubbed his eyes. Looks like he's up.

"Auh? O-Oppa?"

("Aeah? Wh-Sister?") He looked at me with a confused look. He may not have realized I went into his room.

"Breakfast is ready. Sorry to enter your room. Brother wait outside." I muttered without looking into his eyes and walked out. I can't believe my sister's sleeping and I'm trying to molest her?

Hey, Euna...

Na neun jongmal's..

(I really.)

Choeag-ui?

(The worst, huh?)

Seriate..
