[TS] Became a Peach Saint – Chapter 26

The morning sunlight sparkles, and along with the chirping of birds through the window cracks, light seeps in.

Thanks to the window without curtains, the sunlight came in towards my eyes, waking me up.

Sunlight, chirping sounds, and a refreshed body.

“What is this implying?”

I turned on my phone and saw that it was already past 2 o’clock.

“…..”

While scrolling through the push notifications below the phone’s time, I saw a message that the TripleNet community had been approved. Clicking on it, I was immediately taken to the community.

Title: [LOL Anyone wanna catch the room master?]

[Hallelujah]

The room master said they’d wake up and turn it on, but it’s already past 2.

I still haven’t used the sashimi I prepared yesterday to poke the chairman’s belly LOL.

[Flabby Bottom] Room master, I know you’re reading this. Aren’t you gonna upload?

[Wasabi Soybean Powder] Chairman Han!!! Open the damn door!!!

[Absentee Cover] Nuna, I’m going crazy, open the door.

The personal community was flooded with posts demanding the door to be opened.

“Damn… I’m screwed.”

While browsing the community, my hand vibrated, and I saw a call from my sister on the screen.

“Hello?”

– Ga-eul!

“Yeah, what’s up, sis?”

– I miss you!

“We saw each other yesterday.”

– I miss you again!!

“Aren’t you working?”

– I’m the boss! It runs fine without me.

“Wow, lucky you.”

– Hehe, and it’s Friday. We have to hang out!

“Hmm…”

– Ga-eul, wanna go to the shop with me?

At my sister’s words, I lowered my head and saw her beautiful hair flowing down her chest.

“You mean the hair shop, right?”

– Yeah! The hair shop.

“Do I have to go?”

– It’ll be good! Your hair is already so pretty, you just need a trim.

“Really? Okay. Are you at the shop now?”

– Yeah! Wanna come here? Or should I pick you up?

“No, I’ll come. Stay there.”

– Okay! Come quickly, I miss you.

“Alright, I’ll get ready and come.”

While talking to her, I decided to make today’s broadcast an outdoor one and went to the bathroom to get ready.

After showering, I entered the room dripping wet and roughly dried my hair with a hair dryer.

After drying my hair, I thought about the outfit she told me about yesterday and put on 9/10 skinny jeans with a white shirt tucked in, slightly rolled up the sleeves, put on a bracelet, and grabbed a thick coat.

After finishing the outfit, I took the glasses and phone mount I bought at the convenience store and stepped outside. The wind was a bit chilly, but the sunlight was stronger than expected, making it feel hot.

“Damn, the weather’s really crazy.”

As soon as I stepped outside, I felt like this wasn’t it and went back in to throw off the thick coat.

I pulled out and put on an ivory cardigan that was close to white.

“Didn’t I wear a padded jacket a week ago? Is this right?”

As I slipped on my white sneakers, I noticed that the pants she recommended rode up above my ankles, nicely accentuating my pretty ankles.

“As expected from a clothing store owner…”

I put on the mask hanging on the hook by the door and the 8-bit glasses I brought, then opened the rooftop room’s iron door and stepped outside.

I walked out to the main road to catch a taxi, and as I stood there staring at the road, I could feel people passing by glancing at me.

Looking down, I realized I hadn’t buttoned my cardigan, and my white shirt was practically bursting open, revealing my chest, followed by my curvy hips, beautiful thighs, and down to my ankles in skin-tight pants.

“Damn… I guess I do look worth staring at.”

These days, it seems taxis only move through apps, so after waiting for a while, I finally got one and headed to Rodeo Street where my sister’s store was.

As I walked toward the plaza where the store was, I took out my phone and wrote a post on the Tpple community saying I’d drop by the hair salon and turn on the broadcast, then kept walking.

As I continued walking, I saw the building with the “Lirinda Clothing Store” sign.

I glanced at the store, then turned to the opposite side to smoke a cigarette before going in.

“Ga-eul!!”

As I walked toward the smoking area, I heard my sister’s loud voice from behind.

“Huh? Eonni.”

I turned around and saw her looking at me. She was wearing a suit jacket and pants that matched her beautiful appearance, along with heels.

I stopped and waited for her, and she quickly scurried over and stood in front of me.

“Wow, Ga-eul, you dressed up so nicely! You look really pretty!”

“It’s all thanks to your advice. I wore a thick coat when I first came out, but it was so hot, so I changed into something lighter.”

“Right? The weather changes like a ghost. But why aren’t you going into the store? Where are you going?”

“I was going to smoke a cigarette first.”

At my words, my sister’s eyes widened as if she was the most shocked person in the world.

“…Ga-eul smokes?”

“Yeah. I stick them in both nostrils and smoke three at once.”

“HUH???”

Seeing her react to my pointless joke made me chuckle.

“Just kidding. I’m going to smoke and then come in, so go ahead and wait in the store.”

“Ah, no! I don’t want to!! Ga-eul, no smoking!”

She cutely put her hands on her hips and started nagging.

“Do you know how harmful smoking is? Huh? Don’t smoke, Ga-eulaaaaa.”

Seeing her whine the moment we met, I turned around and walked toward the smoking area.

“Huh? Huh! Ga-eul! Ga-eulga-eulaaaa! No! Smoking will make your body hurt so much!”

“It’s fine.”

“No, Ga-eul, if you smoke, there’ll be a fire!”

“Pfft, what are you talking about?”

I laughed at her strange excuse as she tried to stop me.

Let’s see, it was so cute that I laughed.

“Ah, whyyy, don’t go!”

“Ugh, Eonni’s hand!”

I reached out my hand towards the whining Eonni, and I noticed her glancing at me before slowly moving her hand towards mine.

When her hand got close, I grabbed it and interlocked our fingers. Eonni’s hand was warm and soft.

“Huh?”

As we walked with our fingers interlocked, Eonni followed quietly.

“Eonni, you’re being good, right? Stay quiet, okay?”

“Ugh… yeah, got it.”

When we reached the smoking area and I let go of Eonni’s hand, she pouted, clearly showing her disappointment.

“We’ll hold hands again in a bit.”

“Okay… sounds good…”

“Pfft. Eonni, you look like such a cold career woman, but why are you so cute?”

“No, I’m not…”

Watching the embarrassed Eonni, I pulled out a pack of cigarettes from my cardigan pocket and took out a lighter and a cigarette.

I took off the mask I was wearing and put it in my pocket, then lit the cigarette, and smoke started to rise.

“Whew─ Eonni, step back a bit. The cigarette smell might get on you.”

“Wow… Ga-eul, you’re really pretty.”

I told her to step back so the cigarette smell wouldn’t stick to her clothes, but I noticed Eonni staring blankly at my face.

“Did you just realize I’m pretty?”

I threw out a silly joke, but her dazed expression didn’t change.

“Yeah… I couldn’t see well because of the mask and glasses, but your lips are really, really pretty…”

“What about my nose? Not pretty?”

“No!! Your nose is totally pretty, really, really pretty!”

I kept smoking while watching her repeat how pretty I was.

“You can’t see my eyes because of the glasses. How do you know if they’re pretty?”

“Even without eyes, you’d still be pretty…”

“Pfft, what kind of logic is that?”

Listening to Eonni, I took off my glasses while still holding the cigarette in my mouth and showed her my face.

“Gasp…”

Among all the times I’ve seen Eonni’s widened eyes, these were definitely the biggest and roundest.

“Oh… wow…”

I finished smoking while looking at Eonni’s dazed, almost dreamy face, and then tossed the butt.

I put my glasses and mask back on and gestured to Eonni that we should go since I was done.

“Eonni, you’re drooling. Wipe it off, let’s go. I’m done.”

“…Oh! Yeah, let’s go.”

As we walked out of the smoking area, I interlocked our fingers again, and Eonni made that strange “huh” sound again.

“Um… Ga-eul. But are your eyes always like that? Like, super pretty pink, like jewels, and they sparkle like it’s because of the sunlight…”

“I made a contract with a peach spirit on the way, so that’s why they’re like this.”

“…Huh?”

“Pfft. It’s still me, so it’s fine now.”

“I don’t get what Ga-eul is saying…”

I held her hand tighter, then brought it over and used my other hand to stroke the back of Eonni’s hand with my fingers.

“It tickled.”

“Eww.”

“Eonni, aren’t you going to the hair salon now?”

“Oh, right! Let’s go to the salon together.”

“But I have a broadcast scheduled after the salon. Is that okay?”

“Ah, the broadcast Ga-eul is doing?”

“Yeah, I was supposed to turn it on early today, but I overslept and got late.”

I answered while pulling out the folded phone mount from my pocket to show her.

“Ah, so that’s why your pocket was bulging. But Ga-eul, if you put stuff like that in your pocket, your clothes will bulge and look weird.”

“I don’t have anywhere else to put it.”

“Don’t you have a bag?”

“I only have a backpack at home. Wouldn’t it look weird to wear a backpack with this outfit? Even I, who don’t care much about clothes, think it’d look odd.”

“Ah! That’s absolutely forbidden! Let’s go buy a bag together later. For now, give it to me, I’ll put it in my bag.”

Eonni took the phone mount from my hand and put it in her black handbag.

“Thanks. But where’s the hair salon?”

“It’s nearby, we can walk. The owner there became super famous after working with celebrities or something!”

“Wow, what a legendary ‘or something’ owner.”

“Right?”

Talking with Eonni always feels like the conversation goes off on a tangent.

“Pfft, what do you mean ‘right’? Oh, the conversation went off track. I have a broadcast to do, is that okay?”

“Ah! Sure. I wanted to watch Ga-eul’s broadcast. I missed it yesterday because of a late company dinner.”

As we walked and chatted, we quickly arrived at the hair salon, which was closer than I thought.

“Ta-da! This is the famous ‘or something’ owner who works with celebrities or whatever!”

As I looked at the salon entrance with Eonni’s weird introduction, there was a sign with a lot written on it.

Reading through it, the owner seemed way more famous than her playful introduction suggested.

“This place is no joke. I’ve never seen a salon this big.”

“It’s smaller than our clothing store!”

“Pfft. Why are you comparing it to that?”

Watching Eonni burn with strange competitiveness, I suggested we go in, and she opened the door to the salon.

─Ding.
