HE RETURNED AS A HIGH SCHOOL GIRL (PART ll)

Chapter 211: Secret Love (3)

Kang Ra-Eun was reading a book in the living when her ears caught a small sigh. It was so deep that one would assume that the life of the person who had made it was over. Seo Yi-Seo had been sighing like this very often ever since around five days ago.

Seo Yi-Jun, who was washing the dishes after losing a rock paper scissors game, asked while putting on rubber gloves, “Is there something on your mind, sis? You’ve been sighing nonstop since a few days ago.”

“...It’s nothing.”

She was obviously lying; unlike Ra-Eun, Yi-Seo was a bad liar. Anyone would be able to tell from her expression.

“Did something bad happen at school? There’s no way you would have bombed a test,” Yi-Jun asked again.

“There are times when I bomb tests when I’m feeling under the weather.”

“What? So you were sighing because you actually bombed a test?”

“I told you it’s nothing.”

Yi-Seo spared her breath even despite Yi-Jun’s barrage of questions. Ra-Eun clicked her tongue.

“Yi-Jun,” she called out.

“Yes, noona?”

She waved at Yi-Jun to look at her, and then made a gesture of zipping her mouth shut. In other words, she was telling him to shut up and wash the dishes. Yi-Jun couldn’t defy the orders of the most powerful figure in this household, so he did as Ra-Eun said and focused on washing the dishes.

Meanwhile, Yi-Seo went into her room with sagged shoulders, possibly because of her pointless argument with her little brother, or maybe because of a certain moron who was too dense to understand how she felt. Ra-Eun had lived together with Yi-Seo for a while, but she had never seen her like this before.

‘What in the world is love to make people like this...?’

Ra-Eun still could not understand the feelings of a maiden in love.

In the Spokesperson?film set, Ra-Eun immersed herself into her performance to shoot a scene where she was in a car ride to the press conference venue with Min Se-Min.

“I’m sure you know as well, Chief Oh, but you just need to answer that you do not know to any of the reporters’ questions. Or, you could also not answer at all. The more you speak, the more ammunition you’re giving them to use against you.”

“Understood,” said Oh Tae-Min, played by Se-Min.

“Did the congressman decide to come to the venue? They were still undecided when I contacted them a few nights ago.”

“They decided not to come. They seem to be weighed down considerably by this.”

“I’m not surprised. There’s not much time left until the election... They’re better off playing it safe until then.”

Na Ji-Yang, played by Ra-Eun, took out and looked over the statement that she would be reading in front of the reporters today.

“That aside, Congressman Yang Han-Sik must also be very anxious, since a past incident that had died down once before is about to resurface.”

“Because the result of the last general election had been below his expectations. They’d also managed to win far less seats in Congress than they had expected to, so he’s likely holding a grudge.”

“How difficult,” Ji-Yang mentioned while looking out the window with her chin resting on her hand.

Tae-Min, who was sitting next to her, replied while fixing his glasses, “That’s just how politics is.”
