Siblings Working in Business (188)
After Eun-ho left Eun-ji’s room…
Black smoke swirled around Briquette, the black cat who emerged from the box, and he slowly grew in size.
As he gradually shifted from the form of a cat to that of a human…
The figure in the black smoke rummaged through the box, pulled out Eun-ho’s familiar shirt and sweatpants, and put them on.
Then, in human form, Briquette sat down on Eun-ji’s desk chair, sighed, and looked around the room.
As if checking for any remaining cameras.
Sweep.
Only after confirming the room was clear did the black smoke dissipate.
Pale skin, previously hidden by the smoke, was revealed, and his eyes opened.
The oval pupils of his bright yellow eyes slowly shifted to a circular shape.
Briquette, sitting in Eun-ji’s plush work chair, murmured,
“This is comfortable…”
He looked down at his hands and feet, not much different from the siblings’, and sighed dejectedly.
Then, as if bothered by his messy black hair, he blew it away from his face and spoke,
“What should I do?”
The beam projector in the NRY Entertainment studio displayed images of a bus stopped at a bus stop and a taxi seemingly rushing to change lanes.
“There’s a bus in front of you.”
“Yes!”
“And what about next to you?”
“A taxi is passing by!”
Eun-ji answered Hyun-woo’s short explanations energetically.
“Question. What should Eun-ji do in this situation?”
“Wh-, uh, uh, st-, stop behind the bus!”
“What’s the most important thing to be careful about?”
“Uh, th-, th-, th-, th-!”
“3.”
“Th-!”
“2.”
“I know it!”
“1.”
“Ah! Passengers! Pe-, pedestrians, I mean, watch out for pedestrians!”
“Correct. There might be pedestrians getting off, so it’s best to stop behind the bus and proceed cautiously.”
“What if it’s urgent?”
“If it’s urgent, be wary of passengers suddenly appearing, and change lanes after the taxi passes. The key is to watch out for pedestrians.”
“Yes!”
Initially, he thought she would just breeze through the written test, as long as she knew the basics.
「“Holding hands and crossing the street?”」
That was… until he realized Eun-ji didn’t even recognize the school zone sign.
「“Press the clutch, gently press the accelerator, and when you reach a certain speed, change gears…”」
How could she not know the signs but be so knowledgeable about cars?
Eun-ho, CEO Park, Hyun-woo, and even Seul-gi were puzzled.
“I like racing games.”
“…You do?”
Eun-ho asked, looking at Eun-ji with surprise.
“Yeah. There’s an old arcade on the way to Master’s studio, and I often go there to play racing games when it’s empty.”
She explained that she had learned about these things from playing the games.
Their curiosity satisfied, Eun-ho and the others nodded in understanding. Eun-ji chuckled at Eun-ho’s surprised reaction.
“See, you should pay more attention to your sister.”
“I don’t think so. You don’t pay attention to me either.”
“Hmm, you’re right. I’ll give you that.”
CEO Park, Seul-gi, and Hyun-woo, who had been quietly watching, laughed at their nonchalant conversation.
CEO Park then looked at Seul-gi and Hyun-woo.
“Who’s going to teach Eun-ji?”
Seul-gi and Hyun-woo subtly avoided his gaze.
“I’ll give you a bonus, and a hefty instructor fee.”
“I’ll do it.”
Just as Seul-gi was about to volunteer, Hyun-woo raised his hand with uncharacteristic speed.
“…Are you short on money or something?”
CEO Park asked, seemingly surprised, but Hyun-woo simply shook his head with his usual calm expression.
“It’s always good to have more money.”
And so began the lessons.
The actual filming started on the day of the written test.
Since she hadn’t attended a driving school, she had to take a one-hour traffic safety course.
The footage of Eun-ji studying was replaced with video CEO Park had filmed separately.
“I’ll be back!”
Eun-ji waved and headed into the testing center.
A little over an hour later…
Eun-ji emerged from the building with a confident stride.
Eun-ho, sipping his iced Americano while waiting for her, looked away, seemingly annoyed by her confident demeanor.
“Lee~ Eunho.”
Even the way she called his name was irritating.
Just then, Hyun-woo, who had taken on the role of her driving instructor, asked Eun-ji,
“What was your score?”
“Heehee. A perfect score…!”
At this point…
Hyun-woo had a look on his face that said, ‘Excuse me? I couldn’t hear you,’ and Eun-ho had a look of certainty that said, ‘There’s no way.’
“Is it really that unbelievable?”
“Yes.”
“It is.”
Eun-ji’s lips pouted at their quick responses.
“I got an 83…”
“At least you passed.”
“Pfft!”
When Eun-ji revealed her actual score, Eun-ho burst out laughing.
“That’s right. That sounds more like you. You’re not exactly a genius.”
“Lee Eun-ho, you’re annoying. What did you get?!”
“At least higher than you.”
“What did you get?!”
“Higher than you.”
“So what did you get?”
Eun-ho avoided Eun-ji’s glare and mumbled,
“An 86, or was it an 88…”
Eun-ji’s first response after hearing his score…
“…Are you shitting me?”
“Why would I be shitting you?”
“We’re both the same, so what are you laughing about! You’re just as dumb!”
“I’m at least smarter than you!”
Before their bickering escalated, Hyun-woo stepped between them and said,
“Both of you be quiet if you got lower than me.”
“What did Manager Oppa get?”
Hyun-woo replied with a slight smile,
“A perfect score.”
“…”
“…”
Eun-ho and Eun-ji shut their mouths.
After the test, Eun-ho and Eun-ji got into the car, Hyun-woo driving, and headed back to the office.
As Hyun-woo drove, he asked, looking straight ahead, as if suddenly curious,
“Eun-ji and Eun-ho…”
“Yes?”
He glanced at the rearview mirror. Eun-ji was dozing off, and Eun-ho was staring blankly out the window.
Eun-ho answered,
“You two seemed smart, the way you were deducing things on Change Partner.”
“You’re teasing me.”
“Haha, no, I’m not.”
Hyun-woo, flustered for a moment, replied with a laugh when Eun-ho questioned him.
Eun-ho, seemingly taking it as a joke, smiled mischievously and looked out the window as he spoke,
“I’m good at reading situations. I’ve survived by my wits. I’m not good at memorizing.”
“Hmm, not good at memorizing? But you memorize lyrics and choreography well, don’t you?”
“That’s more about ‘understanding.’ For example, um, like the part in ‘Red’ where the sun sets and the moon rises, representing the moon.”
“Ah, yeah.”
“There, I reach my hand up to symbolize the rising moon. That’s not really memorizing, it’s more like ‘internalizing.’ Making your body remember.”
“Aha. But does ‘understanding’ work for deduction too?”
“It’s more like using understanding to reason.”
“Using understanding to reason?”
“Yes. I analyze the person’s tendencies, personality, habits, and quirks.”
“Right.”
“Then, in my mind, I create a doll that embodies that person, based on the information I gathered.”
“A doll…”
“Like creating an AI.”
“Ah.”
“Then I follow the story that unfolds in my imagination based on the data, and I often see the conclusion beforehand, and it often turns out to be correct… I think that’s what makes it seem like I’m good at it to you.”
Eun-ho looked at the back of Hyun-woo’s head as he answered, his eyes off the scenery outside.
Since he was sitting in the back seat behind the driver, he had no choice.
Hyun-woo, listening to Eun-ho, let out a short exclamation.
“That’s amazing.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. It’s not easy to analyze people so thoroughly.”
“Haha.”
Eun-ho’s smile turned cold as he looked back out the window.
“If you don’t trust people, you become wary and end up analyzing them even if you don’t want to, and even if you want to believe otherwise, your suspicions often turn out to be true.”
“…”
“It’s tiring to always be suspicious, but if you keep thinking negatively, you become incredibly happy about even small, good things, and you also get hurt less by people…”
Perhaps because Eun-ho mumbled…
Hyun-woo didn’t seem to hear him.
But Eun-ho, as if he hadn’t intended for him to hear anyway, continued to look out the window and muttered,
“…that’s how I survived, and how I continue to survive.”
The first episode focused on their house and daily lives rather than Eun-ji getting her driver’s license.
Thanks to that, one of the biggest highlights was Briquette tearing down the cameras.
And E-FAN exploded with the story of Eun-ho and Eun-ji’s pet, Briquette, whom they had never known about.
It seemed the pink paw pads peeking through his black fur as he attacked the cameras were the main attraction.
[Bean pads… We want to see the bean pads!!!!]
└ Briquette ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
└ Pinkpinkpinkpink (spamming)…
[Why does Briquette resemble Eun-ho and Eun-ji lol]
└ You can tell he’s their pet just by looking at his personality lol
└ Black Briquette ㅠㅠ so cute I used to hate black cats, but black is my favorite color now.
While some reactions were overwhelmingly positive…
Eun-ho, although he didn’t want to admit it, there were also many comments saying that Briquette’s personality was very similar to E-UNG’s.
Meanwhile, during filming, their entire house was naturally exposed, but there were no problems because CEO Park had reinstalled the gate, added more CCTV cameras, and put up safety nets on the walls.
[Question, was there ever a scene with the rooftop room and the stairs leading to the first-floor recording studio in their old O-Tube videos?]
└ I don’t think so.
└ But there was a video of them having a staring contest in front of the house when there wasn’t a gate.
└ Wasn’t that the company building? Their address is different now.
└ Yeah, it was also their house. They had their rooms on the second floor.
└ Aha, I see. Thanks for explaining!
Fans who had been following them since their early O-Tube days and the old NRY Entertainment building mostly reacted with, “Oh! So that’s what their place looks like.”
But newer E-Pers seemed confused.
[E-Pers who watched Legally Siblings today, gather ‘round. Was it just me who felt ‘that’?]
└ ‘That’ Lol
└ I knew what you meant as soon as I saw the title lol
└ You too?
└ You too?
└ Me too lol
[<Review> Legally Siblings Episode 1
They seemed so distant before, but suddenly they feel so much closer.]
└ I agree
└ For real lol From a super cool Unnie and Oppa to the best-looking people in the neighborhood lol
└ I just love everything ㅠ
└ Lol
[When I saw the familiar brown door of the rooftop room on Legally Siblings, I felt something, you know? Not in a bad way, just unexpected lol, you know?]
└ If you weren’t an early E-Per, you would have been surprised. You would only know if you watched all their old O-Tube videos.
[What’s the title of the O-Tube video where they showed their house? I can’t find it no matter how hard I look ㅠ]
└ Huh? I was going to link it, but it’s been set to private.
└ Ah, they probably took it down because it showed their location ㅠ
After NRY Entertainment moved from the old building to the new one…
CEO Park set most of the videos showing their house to private for safety reasons, as Eun-ho and Eun-ji’s popularity increased.
But it seemed to be confusing the newer E% and those relying on their memories.
[Legally Siblings was a bit of a shock. Not in a bad way, just unexpected…]
└ I know what you mean lol Ji and Rangi both look kinda high-class lol
└ Agreed
[Judging by their looks, I thought they lived in an apartment. I didn’t expect a rooftop room.]
└ But their recording studio isn’t exactly run-down. Their house is pretty.
└ Oh, that’s true. The white exterior walls make it look modern.
└ What about the floral wallpaper in Eun-ho’s room?
└ That’s a bit… hmm; lol
Although it was just their ordinary daily lives, the brown aluminum door of the second-floor rooftop room garnered a lot of attention, seemingly surprising not only E% but also viewers who weren’t fans.
