Chapter 33: Island (2)
Chapter 33: Island (2)
It was a rarely difficult quest, I thought.
And it had to be. After all, it was a quest that took an unusually long time.
I even wondered if my sister’s personality was being reflected in it.
The previous quest I’d experienced with her inside the game involved giving her a massage for an hour, and even then, I remember thinking it felt quite long.
If I hadn't just been discharged from the military, I might have found it even more taxing. Especially since it only counted the time spent purely on the massage itself.
In that sense, a three-hour hug fell into the category of being quite difficult.
Just calculating the act of doing the same thing for three hours gives the impression of it being quite a burden.
Even when sleeping, maintaining the same posture for three hours is bound to be difficult.
Of course, that’s partly because you can’t control your posture while asleep.
But maintaining one position for three hours is definitely a high level of difficulty….
No.
Let’s not make excuses. I knew the purpose of this quest well, and I knew what it intended.
Furthermore, I could see the changes and the future that would unfold if I went through the quest as intended.
I had been desperately trying to avoid it, but the reason was clear.
Because it meant crossing the line in reality.
[Hug your eldest noona, Kang Yu-dam, for at least 180 minutes while wearing swimsuits. 0/180]
[Reward: 1,200,000 KRW]
It would have been one thing if we were fully clothed, but the requirement to hug while wearing swimsuits was even more malicious.
What kind of clothing is a swimsuit?
It’s clothing designed for playing or being active in the water.
Isn't it made specifically to be functional for movement in the water?
Because of that, swimsuits naturally have very little surface area.
Wet clothes become heavy on their own, and even if they’re made of functional materials, it’s much better to have more skin exposed.
In that sense, Noona’s swimsuit was perfectly suited to its purpose.
Black fabric held by rings, covering her breasts. Similarly, black fabric resting above her hip bones, covering only a tiny portion of her lower body—essentially no different from underwear.
She looked as if she were barely dressed at all. It was a provocative, captivating sight.
Naturally, my eyes followed her. It was only to be expected.
Noona had the best body of anyone I knew, and her face was equally beautiful to match.
One could even say she was elegantly beautiful. Her eyes, which crinkled into a soft smile, and her moist, fair skin certainly played a part.
While understanding the gazes of all those other men, I swallowed hard, unlike before.
What I had done with Noona in the game just a short while ago came to mind.
That memory was still vivid.
Noona’s buttocks, pushing back against me with elasticity every time I thrust my hips.
Her waist, trembling and making slender movements whenever I stabbed deep inside.
Her breasts, swaying up and down, back and forth, in time with my movements.
It was still clear before my eyes. While that gave me hesitation...
It also planted a strange heat in my body. It was as if the scenery overlapped on its own, making it useless to keep telling myself it was just a game.
It was even worse because Noona’s swimsuit was a bikini. I could vividly imagine her body.
Was it because I had felt lust for my younger sister just moments ago and had to take care of it myself?
Feeling the blood rushing in sync with that strange heat, I took off my outer shirt and tied it around my waist to hide my front.
It was clearly a temporary fix, but….
“Hmm? What’s wrong?”
“Oh, I’m just hot.”
“Hehe, I suppose so. Jin-i, you’ve always been sensitive to the heat. Your face has turned all red.”
Chuckling, Noona shielded her eyes with the side of her hand and looked around.
“Then shall we rest over there for a bit?”
“…Should we?”
In this state, playing in the water was out of the question. No matter how I looked at it, my enlarged crotch would surely be discovered.
I readily agreed to Noona’s suggestion, thinking I could at least buy some time to think.
However, there was something unexpected.
“…Noona, aren’t you going to go play?”
A wide-open terrace on high ground. I wasn't the only one in this pleasant resting place where the sea breeze tickled my ears.
In this place, which was exclusive to VIPs and inaccessible without the cruise cards we held, Noona chose to stay with me.
“Hmm? I’m fine.”
Noona spoke with a beaming smile. I tried my best to hide my considerable fluster and discreetly pressed down on my front to keep it hidden.
It would naturally stand out if I sat down, but if I placed my clothes there, it wouldn't be noticeable.
“No, you should go have some fun too. Surely….”
“I enjoy just being like this with Jin-i. It’s okay. There’s plenty to do here too, isn't there?”
It was certainly at a level that made me think, ‘As expected of a VIP terrace.’
An indoor pool open in the center of the terrace, and a cocktail bar located not far away.
The cocktail bar was even fully automated, with robots mixing and serving the drinks.
And that wasn't all. I didn't know why it was there, but there was also a multi-person sunbed where you could lie down and feel the sea breeze.
I didn't know why the sunbed was designed for two or more people….
No, I did know. It was clearly for that purpose. I was starting to suspect this cruise company as well. That they might be pushing me toward incest.
Despite my thoughts, Noona looked around with a joyful expression, tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and spoke.
“I’m thinking of having a cocktail. How about you, Jin-i?”
“Me? I’ll… I’ll just have a Coke.”
“Hmm? That’s unusual for you to turn down a drink.”
“That’s because….”
I couldn't say it was because I felt like I’d go through with it the moment my reason became even slightly blurred.
Everything that had happened was strictly within the game.
The moment I spoke of it, the line would crumble. Knowing that, I forced a smile.
“Just, I’m in that kind of mood? I also want to drink later when we have the barbecue.”
“Ah… that’s true. Then I’ll pass for now too.”
Noona sat back down across from me with a bright smile. She probably did it out of consideration, thinking it would be hot if she were too close.
But that was actually more harmful. Since she was right across from me, there were too many things in sight.
I tried to stop my eyes from wandering behind my sunglasses, but it wasn't as easy as it sounded.
A person with large breasts and a great body like Noona naturally possessed a kind of gravitational pull.
She was no different from a black hole, naturally sucking in a person’s gaze.
From those prominent breasts, each as large as a head, to the swimsuit bottoms that were so tight I didn't know if they could even be called clothing.
All of it was like a black hole capturing my gaze.
I spoke while unconsciously looking at Noona’s body.
“No, you can drink. I don’t mind.”
“Mm, if I’m going to drink, I want to do it with you and Min-i. Maybe… Yuri too?”
“Yuri is still a minor.”
“Then I’ll have to order a non-alcoholic one for her.”
Even my plan had fallen through. Originally, I had planned to get Noona drunk so she’d fall asleep, and then spend three hours hugging her while she was out.
Now that Noona had declined, saying she’d drink during the barbecue, it seemed better to think of a plausible excuse to just hold her.
The problem was that such an excuse was hard to come by. I fanned myself with my hand while worrying for a long time, and Noona watched me silently with a smile.
“…Why are you smiling like that?”
“Because I’m so happy to be with Jin-i.”
Even these sudden words were provocative. Normally, I would have felt a sense of self-loathing, thinking that Noona was showing family affection while I was having lewd thoughts.
But now, what bloomed in the place where self-loathing should have been was a faint excitement and a sense of depravity.
I couldn't even guess how broken my brain had become. Was it because I had already crossed the line once?
I couldn't even call Kang Yu-min to resolve this.
[!If this quest is not performed, the eligibility to perform it will be transferred to the eldest noona, Kang Yu-dam!]
There was no other option but to do this quest.
If Noona didn't feel a sense of debt, it might be different, but the reaction she would show if she saw this quest was already set.
Even though it didn't match the money Kang Yu-min and I had given her, she would immediately perform the quest, thinking she could pay back at least a little bit if she saw this.
In that case, the fastest way to resolve this quest was for me to do it without letting it fall into her hands.
The problem was that I didn't know exactly what the criteria for ‘if not performed’ was.
My eyes flickered as I agonized, and that was a mistake.
“Jin-i, are you okay?”
“Uh, what?”
“Do you have a headache?”
Noona stood up and strode toward me. I caught my breath at the sight of her body suddenly drawing near.
Noona smelled good. The scent wafting from her was the same body odor that I, Kang Yu-min, and Yuri all had.
But somehow, it felt different. Surely, Kang Yu-min had the same scent, but this was… softer.
If maternal acceptance could be expressed as a scent, would it be like this? As I breathed in Noona’s scent that filled my nasal cavity, I could paradoxically feel my crotch swelling even more.
It was troublesome. Both the fact that it was growing as if it would burst, and the fact that I couldn't suppress it.
I shook my head while trying to suppress my ragged breathing.
“It’s not nothing… you seem to have a fever. Is it seasickness? Do you want to rest for a bit?”
Noona’s face was close. My blurred reason urged me to answer.
Yes, rather.
If I used a headache as an excuse to act spoiled like Yuri and asked her to hold me, and then just slept for about three hours like that.
Wouldn't that be okay? Even though I was the one who thought of it, I felt it was plausible. I was about to put it into action, but.
Beep!
I blinked at the sudden, unfamiliar sound.
“Hold on… I think I got a work message.”
Noona smiled sheepishly and pulled her smartphone out of the handbag she was carrying.
Just in case, I pulled out my smartphone as well.
[!Seeing as there is no will to perform, the quest is being transferred to the eldest noona, Kang Yu-dam!]
My eyes widened at the worst-case scenario I had anticipated.
When I slowly turned my head, what I saw...
Was Noona, staring at me with a slightly flushed face.
But that expression was quite different from the one I had expected.
Noona’s expression was subtle.
If it had been Kang Yu-min, it wouldn't have been strange for her to have started berating me already. Facing an unusually quiet Noona, I swallowed hard as a cold sweat trickled down my cheek.
What on earth was this expression? What kind of reaction should I show?
I remained still in my awkward posture, and only then did Noona’s eyes wander toward my front.
Even though I had covered it with my jacket, it was a protrusion that Noona couldn't help but recognize now.
Noona stared at my protrusion for a moment, then spoke with a face that was completely flushed.
“This is… a game too, right?”
A single sentence that I could never just let pass. As I remained frozen, Noona, with her red face, drew closer.
