[read this for a better translation of the end of chapter 50]
"My sister" should be "my noona", talking about an upper-classman he knew from working on a group project (per the novel)
Also if you don't like waiting for the fantastic scanlators that are the cat cafe team, check up on the translations of the novel. It's on novelupdates, same title as here. Show that translater some support, they're doing good work.
Because the final dialogue between the mc and ml was akin to a rat's ass here, here's the ACTUAL, beautifully awkward conversation, taken from the mentioned fan-translated novel:
“I haven’t known you for long, so it’s natural for me to find things unexpected when I see sides of you I didn’t know about.”
“Is that… a compliment?”
He didn’t seem to understand.
“What I mean is… You might actually be talkative and different from the personality I know. But that doesn’t mean the side of you I’m seeing now isn’t real. Are you acting right now?”
“No.”
“Then it doesn’t matter.”
The guy next door might still be shy around him. But just because that shyness fades over time doesn’t mean Yoon Ji-gu will suddenly become someone else. Yeo-woon was not sure if this was the answer Yoon Ji-gu was hoping for, but this was what he thought.
“They’re both you.”
“…”
It wasn’t a particularly profound statement, but Ji-gu’s eyes widened in surprise. Their gazes intertwined in the air. On a humid summer night, the rhythmic jazz music flowing out each time the cafe door opened lingered in their ears.
Yoon Ji-gu continued to fiddle with his reddened ears for a while before slightly averting his gaze.
“…I got it.”
“Mm-hmm.”
“Ah, I just mean I understand, so don’t take it too deeply. Okay?”
“…?”
There wasn’t really anything to take deeply… Yeo-woon’s lips twitched briefly before he smiled and nodded.
