Chapter 3: The first encounter!

It's been three days since I have opened my eyes to a world that I thought never existed. Well, it would be lying to say I wasnt happy reincarnating here so yeah I was having the bestest of time with those people who I could call my family.

This new body of mine was far better than my previous one, accounting for the natural reflexes, dexterity, strength, and speed as well. The training this body has went through since younger age has made a great impact on my mind too. Even a single buzz around me alerts my senses, and my body moves instinctively. It was good I didn't go out of the room much except for eating as my current behavior might have supposed Dayun and ajumma.

I was taking my time to get used to my new self and accepting all the odds I had including the huge amount of database I had stored in my cerebrum.

For the first day, I just stayed in the room while focusing on my breathing at a regular interval and studying the world via surfing the internet. Since I didn't have a smartphone, I had to use a PC instead which made me feel nostalgia for some reasons. 

I went through the current national affairs and media websites. Surprisingly or not, there wasnt any kind of anime released in this world nor any novel or games. Everything was new and fortunately was interesting too. 

Since I didn't remember any novel or manga in the perfect order, I wasnt able to recreate it. How much I tried to think so my favorite pastime I just couldn't pin down how they were. And playing with their main plot line would be sa real shame undoubtedly.

In the family, Dayun was the most silent and caring one. She did have feminine charm and skills more than Ajumma, not to talk about her stress-relieving smiles. The bonding between me and ajumma was going smoothly too with the least time we get. Since she works in a saloon like her og manhwa, she comes home late in the evening. 

Back to reality, today was Sunday. On the last day before I have to introduce myself to the world which I didn't had good experience in my last life.

School.

How much I become dope and handsome, a side of my brain was still plucked at its weak spot and was building anxiety inside of me continuously. I wasnt going to run away as I had already made my determination to do all those things which I ever desired. 

And that process involves losing m V card too...

*Thud*

'Ah...it seems Oppa fell again on the floor.' A chuckle escaped my lips as I heard something falling on the ground floor above me. Without a doubt, it was Oppa who was training some complicated martial arts in his room. Since the day he returned he has been doing some the weird things completely out of my comprehensible reach.

However, except for his changed physique, nothing in his personality was different. He still was my caring big brother as I vaguely remember from my childhood memories. 

It was hard...when Oppa left us. But when aunt Mikyung got a call from an agency that they have found Oppa our world flipped upside down with colors returning to a peaceful state. 

I still remember his eyes when I last saw him and when I see him at the airport, without any need for medical verifications, I knew he was my big brother. My oppa.

*Thud*

"Haha...I think I need to make chicken soup for his body pain today."

"Hey Dayun!" I jumped off the stairs and landed on my feet as I heard Dayun going out. On the way, I inserted my arm inside my jacket which was over my plain grey t.

With this new body, every clothing looked great on me.

"Ah...careful Oppa." She raised her hand like she would catch me from feet apart.

"Are you going somewhere?" I asked as I moved toward her and took out my sliders from the shoe rack.

She had a shopping bag in hand so I was sure she was going out.

"Yes for shopping. Do you need anything for me too buy Oppa?" She tilted her head as she asked.

"No, I will just go out with you. I have been like a bum since I have come here." She smiled with a blush and nodded in response. 

I took her shopping bag as we started heading toward the street. The evening was set down with the sky-dyed saffron and migratory birds hoarding over the sky.

The streets were empty with some small shops and a cafeteria on the way which also were mostly empty. Generally, people don't like to eat in the city so this local store becomes a ghost yard on weekends. 

Every person...I repeat every person turned at least once to check me out which naturally pushed me to the edge. Due to my self-consciousness from a past life, I never looked them in the eyes and kept my gaze straight.

"You sure grab attention Oppa". It seems little Dayun was in the mood to tease her Oppa all of a sudden as she chimed with a grin. 

"Maybe it's because I have this pretty sister by my side..." I countered her attack with the same toothy grin making her blush and look away.

I soon broke into a chuckle as we made our way toward a convenience store. The store name and different content on items were all in Korean which I was understanding like it was natural to me. Not only that my accent was also fluid like water when I generally search for things in English. It was like a translator gets installed whenever I want to speak Korean and the rest of the time I was the same as before.

Inside the shopping store, numerous housewives and mostly ladies were browsing through who halted upon my arrival. It felt like I was like a movie star and compared to the average face of people around me, I really looked like one.

I smiled awkwardly toward the cash receptionist before taking a cart and proceeding inside with Dayun. She was having her time while looking at my troubled expression. 

The shopping went in a sweet atmosphere between the sibling as we bought various ingredients to which I was still not used. Some of the things were the first time me to get introduced to so I just left everything to Dayun.

Soon we left the store with the shopping bag which we brought and another carry bag filled with stuff in each of our either hands. I asked Dayun to give me all the bags but the midget really gets stubborn sometimes.

"Aunty really likes cabbage rolls but she doesn't say it because it takes a lot of time to prepare."

"But you still prepare it often right?" A shy nod only I got in my answer when suddenly I heard someone calling for us...or to be precise someone was yelling Dayun's name.

"Oi Dayun!" I saw Dayun shivering from head to toe as she started pacing her feet. I watched her movements for some seconds before turning my head toward the direction of the sound.

"I think someone is calling you Dayun." I held her hand as I turned abort to see who this auspicious friend of Dayun was who was making her shiver in fret like this.

There stood two people. A bulky man with chub filled belly and a woman with a sharp gaze and hair roller on top of her forehead. I did have some resemblance to the story so I recognized them somehow.

"Oh, so you can hear me. I thought being with your boyfriend made your ears stuffy all of a sudden." I narrowed my gaze while examining the girl and the grinning boy beside her.

'There are a lot of openings...' I felt my breathing getting heavier passing second when Dayun suddenly spoke up.

"H-He's my oppa."

Her voice was like a broken record as she painfully shook all over with her hand clutching the carry bag in a more rigid grip. I could faintly hear her choked breathing and clearly see her far widen eyes. 

She was horrified.

"Oh so bitches like you al-"

"Hey, you!" I raised my index finger and pointed at the boy beside her who also raised his brows and directed his disgusting gaze at me.

"If the woman beside you utters a single word, I will make you regret why you ever dared to come across me." Their eyes went wide and I was sure with her body posture that Dayun was also looking at me.

However, I wasnt in the right mind to think about their expressions or how cringed I looked.

I was feeling it...

The feeling of something burning inside me. The feeling of crushing something so bad that my own teeth dare to grind even a steel nut in annoyance. Yes, I was feeling it after a long time and now I had the power to fight for it.

"What the fu-"

*Tah*

Before she could complete her curse with a nasty grin I lunged forward leaving dust behind before my hand landed at the center of his stomach just above his navel.

"GUHHHH???" The speed of my attack was too fast for him to comprehend what was happening as he fell back on his butt with a mouthful of blood spitting out of his mouth.

 I didn't push him with force but used my strength just to tap at the no boneless part of his belly and boy that strength I exerted with that punch.

"Huh? Y-You-..." Now it was time for someone else to stutter in a fret. I turned toward her before stomping my foot on the groaning trash's left leg just above his ankle.

"AAAAAHHHH!!!" This time he shouted painfully which might bring people in the next minute but I wasnt caring about it at the moment. My whole focus was on the girl who had her face like a sheet and tears already forming at the corner of her sharp eyes.

"Just two inches above and he won't have able to wear shoes without remembering me once." The girl backed away as she heard my voice and started shivering just like my Dayun shivered.

Yes, I wanted that.

"If I see you or anyone around you messing with my little sister then remember I am not a saint who doesn't raise a hand on a woman, understood?" She nodded as she finally fell down on her butt too with tears overflowing from her dreaded eyes.

I stared at her for a few seconds before walking away. I saw Dayun face with a complicated expression shrouding her usual cheerful charm. 

Suddenly,  I remembered something as I turned to abort again, which made the girl gasp audibly. She halted her movement and fell down again like I ever asked her to.

"O-oppa it's okay now." It seemed Dayun misunderstood that I would be punishing them anymore for now. I took her hand and reassured her with a smile before turning again toward the girl.

"Hey. Tell the blondie that I will be meeting her tomorrow in the school."

"Dayun...did I scare you?" Oopa suddenly asked me as we neared our house. After the fight, we both stayed silent all the way which felt awkward but I wasnt able to mutter a single word due to some reason.

".....A little," I said while glancing at him. He wasnt looking at me but there was a barely visible frown on his face which made me tense.

'Should I had lied...' Even with the bullying, I was okay until oppa doesn't hate me. I didn't want to give him a bad impression of my life that's why I avoided my classmate at first but what happened after that made me fear not because of Oppa but the way he fought with them.

It wasnt any normal human's way of fighting. He was exceptionally well at it which made me curious as well as afraid of what kind of life he has gone through until now. I was happy that my brother stood up in my stead but involving him with 'those' people, made me frightened to even thibk about.

After that, he didn't speak anything, and not sure what should I say I also kept myself shut. We reached home and wordlessly he started ascending the stairs and I felt sad in my heart for whatever happened.

Suddenly, to my utter surprise, he turned toward me, and with concern fueled in his eyes he said,"Whatever I do or will do, would only to protect you Dayun. Please dont hate or fear your oppa for it." He turned and was about to leave when I gathered my courage and called for him.

"I wasnt...I am not scared of you Oppa. I just fear that you might regret on coming back to us and I....just want you to like to live with us..." I wasnt sure what I was saying anymore so keeping my gaze on the ground I ceased my mouth. Nothing came in response but all of a sudden a huge hand came on top of my head which made me flustered.

Looking upward I found oppa standing there with his lips curved in a silly smile.

"I already love living with you guys so dont worry unnecessarily Dayun. And not in a hundred years I would ever regret coming back to you...to my only family. So just smile and leave everything to your oppa okay?" With a full bloom smile, I nodded.

I was happy. After a long time, I felt like this. The feeling of fulness. The feeling of warmth which was somewhat not complete was filling slowly yet surely. And I hope this feeling never fades.

____________....____________

*Huff*Huff*

I was currently panting like a dog while crouching down just a step inside my room. Unconsciously, I was using my breathing technique for a long anf during the fight I exerted strength that was quite impossible for a normal human to possess. 

A single punch and his internal was crumbled. It felt awesome at that moment but looking back I was on breathing centration.

And because of unplanned usage, my lungs were like sucked-up bags. I wasnt breathing anymore, just begging for air to enter my windpipe. My veins from the side chin and nape were popping I could feel. My legs were getting numb and a chill running down my whole body. This feeling was undoubtedly new to me and slowly I was fading my consciousness.

My eyes getting darker and my hands trying to reach something.....anything...

*Thud*
