Chapter 46 (Se-hee)
Si-woo and Se-hee Noona arrived at the food court in the basement of the department store and began browsing the lunch menu.
"What do you want to eat? Should I buy you steak? That place over there is really good."
Se-hee Noona pointed toward a shop with an excited expression.
Perhaps because she had been here several times with her friends, she seemed very familiar with the layout as she guided him.
The basement food court was divided into several large sections. Some stalls and shops shared a communal seating area in the central hall, while others were separate restaurants with their own private dining spaces.
Rows of shops stretched out before them.
Being a weekend afternoon, the department store's dining area was becoming increasingly crowded with people flocking in for lunch.
"Do you want steak, Noona?"
"No, I’m telling you to pick what you want to eat~"
The steak place Noona pointed to was one that used the communal central hall.
"...I think a place with its own seating would be better...?"
Si-woo’s cock, which had become erect due to Noona’s mischievous jokes and her highly revealing outfit, showed no signs of subsiding anytime soon. He desperately wanted to avoid the seats in the central hall.
Even if it was hidden by Se-hee Noona’s cardigan, he felt like the gazes of other customers would still bother him.
Knowing full well what state Si-woo was in, Noona seemed to be doing it on purpose. She exaggerated her gestures and expressions, gripping Si-woo’s hand tightly as she led him here and there.
Just then, a Japanese ramen shop with its own tables inside caught Si-woo’s eye.
It was a famous Japanese franchise ramen restaurant known for being a local hotspot.
"Se-hee Noona, do you want ramen?" Si-woo asked, stopping her as she tried to pull him along.
"You wouldn't even eat it when I offered to make it at home, but I guess you want it now that we're out?"
Se-hee Noona looked a bit surprised, speaking with a hint of disappointment—though it was likely half-teasing.
"Don't you think this is a bit different from that?"
Si-woo replied, chewing over the significance of eating ramen out here compared to at home.
* * *
Si-woo and Se-hee Noona stepped inside the Japanese ramen shop.
They took a seat in a secluded corner, away from the eyes of others.
Si-woo and Se-hee Noona ordered Tonkotsu ramen, made with pork bone broth, and Miso ramen, respectively.
If it weren't for Se-hee Noona’s erotic outfit and Si-woo’s erection, the conversation that followed would have seemed like a perfectly normal one between siblings out for a shopping trip.
"But why the sudden pajamas?"
"I just saw them and thought they were cute."
"Let me see."
Se-hee Noona spoke, gesturing toward the shopping bag placed next to Si-woo.
Si-woo carefully pulled out Se-young’s pink dress pajamas from the bag, handling them like a precious treasure, and unfolded them to show Se-hee Noona.
"They're pretty~ Se-young will look really cute in these."
Se-hee Noona spoke with genuine admiration.
"Right? Mom said they were pretty, too."
For a moment, Si-woo felt a surge of pride, feeling as though his taste had been validated by Se-hee Noona, who had an exceptional sense of fashion.
"But did you only buy something for Se-young? What about Mom’s and mine?"
Se-hee Noona suddenly acted hurt, pouting at Si-woo.
"Huh? Uh... well... I'll buy yours and Mom's... later."
Si-woo answered awkwardly, caught off guard.
"Dummy! I’m joking~ I heard you borrowed money from Mom to buy that. No matter how cute it is, aren't you overdoing it a bit?"
Even though she was the one teasing him, Se-hee Noona seemed to find it pitiful how easily Si-woo was swayed by her antics.
"Still, I thought Se-young would look really cute in it..."
Si-woo spoke to Se-hee Noona with a bashful smile, as if making an excuse for his distorted fetish.
"Hmm~?!"
Se-hee Noona let out a sound that suggested she found it unfortunate yet understandable, and she began to look down at Si-woo.
Just then, a waiter approached and placed the trays containing their ordered ramen in front of them.
The Tonkotsu ramen, Miso ramen, a piece of fried tofu sushi, yellow pickled radish, and side dishes that looked like seasoned bellflower root were arranged neatly on each tray.

"Isn't Shin-bi the chubby, cute type too?"
While eating her ramen, Se-hee Noona suddenly brought up Shin-bi Noona out of nowhere.
"Shin-bi Noona? Well, yeah, but why her all of a sudden?"
"I mean, didn't you say before that out of all my friends, you liked Shin-bi the most? I wondered if that was your type."
Si-woo recalled the conversation they had on the day he masturbated with the panties Se-hee Noona had taken off for him in the park.
Before Si-woo had said he liked Shin-bi Noona among her friends, he had definitely told Se-hee Noona that she was the prettiest of them all.
And Se-hee Noona had reacted with innocent joy upon hearing that.
Since Se-hee Noona was naturally the type of person who blatantly sought compliments from others to boost her self-esteem, her being happy about his praise wasn't something that carried a particularly deep meaning.
However, everything that happened after—attempting excessive physical contact by linking arms and rubbing her breasts against him, or nonchalantly taking off her panties soaked with pussy fluid and giving them to him as he went into a public restroom to masturbate—could not be easily explained by the common sense or logic of a normal sibling relationship.
This was a blatant indication that Se-hee Noona was also reacting sexually to Si-woo’s body. It was far too extreme to be dismissed as a mere prank intended to tease him and elicit a sexual reaction.
Was Se-hee Noona’s bold behavior the result of her recently making friends who were sexually liberated?
He vividly remembered the lonely look on Se-hee Noona’s face that day as she muttered to herself that she needed to find Si-woo a girlfriend soon.
They were now in a relationship where they both knew their bodies reacted sexually to one another.
Se-hee Noona’s words, bringing up Shin-bi Noona as if to test him once more, made Si-woo’s heart feel even more complicated.
Se-hee Noona’s ambiguous attitude, which was hard to be certain of, made Si-woo feel a sense of longing and even resentment.
"Se-young and Shin-bi Noona are just cute! It’s not like my type is strictly set that way!"
Si-woo snapped at Se-hee Noona, sounding somewhat defensive.
"Is that so?"
"Noona, you’ve been stuck to me all day, so you should at least know that much!!"
Si-woo spoke with a slightly raised voice, sounding hurt, while being acutely aware of his erect member covered by Se-hee Noona’s cardigan.
It was as if his massively erect cock was proof of a sincerity he himself didn't fully understand, directed toward Se-hee Noona.
Se-hee Noona wore an unreadable expression for a long time. Soon, her face flushed slightly as if she found it absurd, and she lowered her head, picking up her ramen with her chopsticks without a word.
Her movements were a bit irritable.
* * *
After a period of strange silence following their meal, Se-hee Noona looked up and spoke to Si-woo.
"Shall we get going now?"
Si-woo nodded.
He checked his surroundings, gathered his things, and left the ramen shop.
Si-woo’s cock was still erect. Se-hee Noona’s cardigan, along with the shopping bag containing Se-young’s pajamas, hung over his arm, providing a three-dimensional cover for his erection.
Following him out of the shop, Se-hee Noona stood silently beside Si-woo and gently took his hand.
Then, as if nothing had happened, the two walked slowly toward the movie theater.
They walked in sync, side by side.
* * *
Si-woo and Se-hee Noona arrived in front of the theater and checked the list of movies currently showing.
Several hit movies and animations were playing, and it seemed like special event screenings for hardcore fans and VIPs were being held like a festival.
Perhaps because of that, the theater was packed to the brim with moviegoers—at the box office, the ticket machines, and the lounge area alike.
"Si-woo, you brought your Academy Card, right?"
Se-hee Noona asked Si-woo, checking as if it were a routine formality.
"Oh, right!! I forgot my Academy Card."
Si-woo spoke with an apologetic smile.
Se-hee Noona’s nagging continued for quite a while—how could he remember the card Mom gave him but forget his Academy Card when coming to a movie, and how he lacked the basic etiquette for dating a woman.
—Though it seemed they didn't usually check Academy Cards individually even for movies rated for ages 150 and up—
Only after Si-woo took a hard low kick to the thigh from Se-hee Noona were they finally able to pick a movie worth watching.
The movie they chose together was a live-action hero film rated for all ages, which seemed relatively less crowded.
"When did Mom say she’d be back?"
Se-hee Noona asked as she held Si-woo’s hand and entered the theater.
"I don't know exactly. But it'll probably take a few days."
Answering Se-hee Noona’s question with a trembling voice, Si-woo felt an unknown sense of anticipation filling his chest to the point of aching.
