I Returned as a High School Girl

Chapter 77: Wanna Stay the Night? (1)

Kang Ra-Eun met up with her male co-star who she hadn’t seen in a while, right after the official production of the drama Waitress?was announced. She would be working together with Ji Han-Seok once again.

“Hello, sunbae. It’s been a while.”

Ra-Eun’s radiant smile had already stolen Han-Seok’s heart. She was most charming when she smiled, but the problem was simply that she did not show it often in private occasions. However, that aside...

“You have a different air about you,” Han-Seok remarked.

“I do?”

“Yeah. You definitely felt like a teenager back then, but you’ve gotten a lot more mature.”

It had only been a few months since Han-Seok hadn’t seen Ra-Eun, but he was a little bewildered by how mature she had become. However, he absolutely did not mean it in a bad way.

Ra-Eun replied while expressing her gratitude, “I’ve officially become an adult, after all.”

She was a twenty-year-old university student. It was an age when a woman’s beauty fully bloomed.

“Anyway, I’ll be in your care for this drama,” Ra-Eun expressed.

“Same to you.”

While Ra-Eun had been spreading public awareness of her, Han-Seok had also grown into a popular actor by appearing here and there on TV. Han-Seok possessed a gentle and kind-hearted image as compared to the manly charms of Je-Woon, the male lead of Reaper. Because of that, Ra-Eun and Han-Seok were already shouldering the huge expectations of the drama fans who had heard the announcement of both of them in lead roles.

Han-Seok asked after the short meeting, “You started living independently, right? Are you finished with moving?”

“Yes.”

“Where do you live? Should I drop you off near the area? I drove today.”

“No, it’s okay. I drove here too,” Ra-Eun said as she took out a car key from her handbag.

Beep!

The lights of a bright-yellow sports car flashed as Ra-Eun pressed the button. Its doors opened upward instead of outward. The luxury sports car caught people’s attention.

“I’ll be on my way first, sunbae.”

“O-Okay. Be careful on your way home.”

Ra-Eun’s car speedily exited the broadcasting station parking lot with an enormous exhaust sound.

Han-Seok said to himself with a bitter smile while looking at the direction that Ra-Eun had disappeared to, “She drives something way better than mine.”

Seo Yi-Jun looked around his surroundings with bags in both hands.

“I was told it was somewhere in this area... Where is it?”

He let the bags down for a moment and called his sister.

“Hello? Sis? I’m at the apartment complex. Which building did you say it was again?”

- Building 103. You can’t find it?

“No, wait. 103, 103 would be... over there, I think? I’ll call again if I can’t find it.”

- Okay. Ra-Eun is home, so just hand the bags over to her.

“Okay.”

Yi-Jun was playing the kind little brother who brought some bags filled with stuff that his sister had left at her old home. Since he could also meet Ra-Eun in the process, it was like hitting two birds with one stone for him. However, he was posed with a dilemma when he arrived at the building.

“What’s this? Do I need a password to open the gate?”

He had thought it was an automatic door, but there was a number pad to open the door. He pressed the apartment unit number on the number pad to call the unit, but the door automatically opened.

‘Huh? How did it open?’ Yi-Jun thought.

He had no idea why, but he decided to go in since it had opened. He got on an elevator and went up to the floor where the unit that Yi-Seo mentioned was. The elevator rang and its doors opened. He could tell that the place was expensive from just the front door.

‘It sure looks expensive, just like sis said.’

A new member of society could only afford to live in such an expensive apartment in Seoul if they had been born in a rich household, or if they had succeeded massively in life. Ra-Eun was the latter. She was a successful celebrity, so she could more than afford to live in such a place.

“Ra-Eun noona. It’s me, Yi-Jun.”

He expected that Ra-Eun already heard that he would be coming. As if to confirm his expectations, the front door opened right away.

“Yeah, welcome.”

Yi-Jun’s eyes popped out as Ra-Eun opened the door to greet him.

“Come in. Would you like something to drink?” she asked.

“D-Drink? S-Sure! But, n-noona!”

Ra-Eun stared at the stuttering Yi-Jun as she dried her wet hair with a towel.

“What’s with you all of a sudden?”

“D-Down...!” Yi-Jun said as he forcibly turned his gaze elsewhere. “I-I think you’re wearing only p-panties...”

Ra-Eun’s bare legs were fully exposed under her long T-shirt, to the point that even her inner thighs were completely visible. Ra-Eun giggled and put the towel down. She then slightly lifted up the lower part of her shirt, which startled Yi-Jun.

“N-Noona! What are you doing?!”

“Look.”

Yi-Jun forced his eyes back open that he had shut tight.

“I’m wearing pants, idiot.”

He could see a pair of dolphin shorts. It had only looked like she wasn’t wearing anything down there because her T-shirt was too long and her dolphin shorts were too short.

“Sigh, you scared me, noona.”

“Scared, my ass. I know you liked it.”

She was not wrong. Ra-Eun gestured to Yi-Jun to come in. The first thing that he saw was the amazing city view from the living room.

“Wow. The view is so good!”

“Right? I mainly chose this place for the view. It’s even prettier at night.”

“Really?”

It certainly felt like the nightscape would look much prettier like Ra-Eun had said.

“Hand me the bags. I’ll move them to Yi-Seo’s room.”

“Will you be okay? They’re heavy.”

“It’s fine. And I can’t really let you go inside a girl’s room without permission, even if you’re her brother.”

Yi-Jun was also in agreement with that statement. He looked around the place while Ra-Eun headed to Yi-Seo’s room with the bags. The first thing that he could see from the living room was the kitchen, and a room that he assumed to be Ra-Eun’s. He couldn’t see what it looked like inside because the door was only slightly open.

There was one thing that he should not forget during his time here, and it was that this place was off-limits to men. He needed to beat into his mind that only two young women lived here. As proof...

“...Gasp.”

Yi-Jun witnessed a blue pair of panties under a chair. He gulped. Meanwhile, Ra-Eun came out of Yi-Seo’s room and headed to the kitchen.

“What would you like to drink?”

“Water is fine. But more importantly, Ra-Eun noona,” Yi-Jun said while pointing at the chair with the blue panties under it.

“Sorry, I completely forgot to put them in the washing machine.”

Yi-Jun guessed that Ra-Eun had been wearing them before taking a shower. But despite the fact that a man saw the pair of panties that she had taken off, she did not seem to care much. Her personality was as unreserved as ever, even after becoming a university student.

***

“So how does it feel to become an examinee?” Ra-Eun asked Yi-Jun sitting across from her.

He answered with an awkward smile, “I’m only counting the days for it to be over.”

Yi-Jun had no interest in studying. He had little interest in solving SAT workbooks because he was so determined to pursue a career in fashion design.

“But I heard you were pretty good at studying,” Ra-Eun mentioned.

“Who did you hear that from?”

“Your sister.”

Yi-Seo and Yi-Jun both possessed the studying gene. They maintained considerably high grades in high school. Especially for Yi-Jun, he stayed within the top ranks despite not being fully devoted to his studies.

“I just do it because my mom and dad tell me to.”

“I see, but don’t completely give up on studying. Your studies are still important even if your dream is fashion design, since you’ll be able to grab hold of chances of a broader field by entering a good university. This is my advice to you as your senior in life, so keep it to heart.”

“I’d listen to anything you told me even if you weren’t.”

Ra-Eun giggled at Yi-Jun’s blatant flattery. Yi-Jun gulped as he stared at Ra-Eun drinking the coffee that she had brewed herself. He could slightly see her well-endowed chest under the loose T-shirt. This trial was considerably difficult for a teenage boy to handle. It could be because he hadn’t seen her in a while or because of her clothes, but he felt as if Ra-Eun’s figure had gotten even better than before. Ra-Eun was exuding sexiness despite being in casual clothing.

Ra-Eun laid down her cup and gave Yi-Jun a piece of advice.

“I know you’re at an age where you’re highly interested in the opposite sex, but try not to gawk so much. Girls don’t like that sort of thing.”

“I-I’m sorry. That wasn’t my intention...”

Yi-Jun was considerably bewildered by the fact that Ra-Eun was aware of his gaze. Ra-Eun snickered in her head from the enjoyment of teasing Yi-Jun after so long.

“Since you’re here, have dinner with us before you go,” Ra-Eun said.

“Can I really?”

“It’d be a shame not to see your sister’s face before you go after you’ve come all the way here, don’t you think?”

Ra-Eun was right. Yi-Jun had also wanted to check whether or not his sister was adjusting well to university life. He could not help but worry about her as a little brother. She had said that she was doing fine, but he couldn’t stop worrying unless he could see that she was actually doing fine. That was just how family was like.

“Or you can just stay the night here since it’s the weekend,” Ra-Eun mentioned.

Yi-Jun was rather conflicted by her remark.

“But staying the night here is a bit...”

He was fine with it, but he thought that the girls wouldn’t be. However, Ra-Eun did not seem to think much of it.

“We have plenty of rooms, and you can buy any necessities at the nearby convenience store.”

“I’ll let you know while we have dinner together after my sister comes back. I’ll have to call my family to see if I can.”

“Okay, sure.”

Staying the night at his crush’s house was nothing short of a blessing for Yi-Jun. He brimmed over with the desire to do whatever it took to persuade his parents to let him stay the night.
