Oppa-ssi! jamkkanman gidalyeo?? (Sister! Wait a minute, huh?) I'm out soon. This is Eskul's guide talking about it for a long time.
.Note: ⁇ \= yeodongsaeng (female sister)
I stared at my kit phone screen and decided not to return the message. There were many students in free clothes stepping out of the school gate. Every time I go to school, I go through my routine to take Euna. But... usually he will go home by public transport to get home?
I don't know, this time why he asked me to pick him up. Every Saturday Euna's school is off. Only a few people enter on Saturdays to take extracurriculars. Including him who is currently experiencing the art of music.
I parked my motorbike next to the meatballs who were riding near the Women's Special High School fence. Ah, I'm getting hungry. Maybe I should order a serving.
"Mas, one huh? Meatballs just, do not use vinegar, yellow noodles the same vegetable, make a pedes." Message streak. I said so because she sells egg meatballs too.
"Ready deck!"
He then opened the lid of the pot and began preparing a bowl with a picture of a rooster. Smoke rises from the pot. Indicating the heat temperature inside is made to stay awake.
Suddenly inside the wagon, a song from the mobile phone is connected to the sound active mini Mas meatball. Seeing me gawking, he just raised his eyebrows and smiled. Songs of sorrow chanting from Kunto aji accompany me to eat meatballs alone among this cloudy sky. How sad.
Been alone too long..
I've been hating myself for too long
No one accompanied me for long, I guess..
Morning to night never crossed my heart..
Even on my own, I never felt lonely
Until I finally realized I couldn't keep doing this!
I've got to make an effort...
But where did it start?
"For too long alone.. I've been hugging myself for too long.." I muttered flatly with a gentle chours rhythm.
"It sounds good, deck." Say the meatball while raising your thumb.
"Haha.. Thanks, Mas."
"Why not audition? Who knows if you've got a girl."
We stand in silence. Time seemed to stop between the song kunto aji and the gentle breeze that hit our bodies.
"More, thank you." I gave him a piece of ten thousand and got out of the wagon. At the end there, a few high school girls walk out of the gate. Maybe it was Euna.
"God!!" Excruciate. He and the other two girls looked up. Sure enough it was Euna and her friends.
"Oppa-ssi, orae gidalyeoseo. Ah, I nyeoseog-eun nae Oppa-iya!"
("Sorry, you waited a long time. Ah, this man is my brother!") He introduced me to his friends. They just stupefied, who did not know the meaning of hihi. hmm, it turns out they are sweet as well.
"Okay, non. I've told you how many times don't talk Korean. I don't understand." Complain one of the girls in a ponytail, a little tomboy with a sporty style.
Looks cute appearance with training pants combined with his white basketball jacket. He wagged the collar of an open jacket. The other one is a girl I think kind of... Naughty? the makeup is polite. But his eyes have been staring at me ever since and occasionally biting his lips.
"Hahaha, sorry-sorry. I said, this is my brother." Euna laughed with her cheerful face. The two girls looked at each other. Maybe it's because I'm not Korean.
"I'm Euna's sister. The Syam Hendra Purnama. You can call me Sham" I said trying to maintain my attitude and shake hands with both of them. They also nodded with a mouth shaped ‘o’.
"Milinda.." Saying a girl in a horse pigtail.
Looking at me who was looking at them, Euna grabbed my arm. Tight enough, that I could feel the softness of the cushion behind the shirt he was wearing. Eh? Why did the child suddenly swerve? Suddenly I heard the sloppy Mas Bakso I bought.
"Woohh, Deck! That's the girl anyway? Great yeah! Tall taste!" She pointed at me and Euna. For the second time, I quietly did not flinch at the cry of Mas Meatballs. Cartridge*t.
"He's talking to Oppa-ssi?" Ask Euna. I chose to change the topic.
"Hey, you never said you had any pretty gini friends? Why was he never invited home?" My whisper. Euna looked at me furiously. Then he whispered to me.
"Oppa-ssi yeoggyeoun! (Silent brother!) Don't look at my friends that way!"
While his left hand was grabbing me, his right hand was launching a pinch towards my waist from behind. Her friends were unconscious, so I just covered her with a bright smile. My waist hurts not playing.
"Okay, if that's what we go home first, huh?" My words that passed towards my bike and wore a helmet. As I was about to board, Sarah approached me. I saw Linda who couldn't stop her friend just sigh.
"Sister! Can I have a BBM pin?" He said with hopeful eyes. I only saw Euna turn her face away from me. Huh, this is a child why the hell?
"Ah, sorry yes. My HP is lowbat. So..." I said to Sarah. Euna was still throwing her face away but I saw the tail of her eyes looking at me. I smile.
"Oh that's it. Okay." Okay." He was disappointed and returned. After saying goodbye, Euna and I drove back home.
During the trip we were more silent. I heard a small murmur among the roar of vehicles passing by on the highway.
"Oppa-ssi just wanted to do something? That's so cool. Babochchaeoleom . (People s kayak***)" he grumbled inviting my laughter in his heart.

"TING-TONG!" I hit the bell. Today I decided to come to meet Diana's invitation.
When she left, Euna was no longer home. Go study groups, he said. I'm fine-fine, as long as he can take care of himself and not go home too late. Just a small note signifying his departure.
Oppa-ssi, naneun daryoyo! ^_^ (Sister, I'm leaving!)
mian Mian, (sorry, sorry) I'm not saying goodbye. Hehee:p I saw Oppa-ssi sleeping really fast. So I can't wake him up. Umm, I think I'll be home by 2. My partner's inget yesterday, right? Inget yes! Put it in the pot. Okay well?
In the end the mysterious message ended with me leaving without knowing what to put in the pot. Never mind, my lunch won't be that long either.
But... It seems true that Diana's parents were not at home. Hufh, although he often drove her home. Never even stopped by. I am still amazed by this big house. Indeed extensive. There was a large tree at the side, even so the leaves did not litter the grounds. Also the grass that surrounds the house seems to be often cut.
The owner looks very clean. There was a fountain pool with a statue of a black horse in the middle. I was greeted by a maid, I estimated her age at 40 who opened the gate. Then welcome him in.
A room with a luxurious order greeted me when I entered, the walls look so clean with dominated by white. This house is really well-maintained.
I looked at the whole room. It feels like the person who owns this house has a high taste of art. Seen from the layout and elegant ornaments in the corner of this house.
There are various paintings lined up on the wall. Starting from natural paintings, abstracts, a woman, to family paintings featuring Diana and her parents.
Oh yes, I have not said that Diana was the only daughter of both of her adoptive parents, because both of Diana's parents had died.
In the middle of the living room like most, a comfortable sofa in the shape of a black L with a velvet carpet when the feet touch it. Large jars and some wooden meubels with carvings adorn the corners of the house. There are statues of antelope heads and lions that add to the elegant impression of the living room.
"Please, Mas. Non Diana was already waiting in the dining room."
"Oh, okay. Thanks bi.." The maid nodded and left me. Without waiting for long, I immediately met Diana in the dining room.
The dining room feels dark. Curtains are intentionally closed. I had to focus my eyes on catching a beautiful girl in a long white shirt sitting on the dining chair. The food at the table was so much like a party. In the middle stands three candles that make the atmosphere here more romantic.
"Hey? Why not sit?"
Seriate...
