Chapter 38: Barbecue (1)
Chapter 38: Barbecue (1)
"Unnie! I brought the meat!"
A cheerful voice rang out. I looked over to see a girl carrying a mountain of meat toward us.
It was Yu-ri, the youngest of us siblings.
"I acted a little cute, and they gave me extra," she said with a giggle, naturally taking a seat right next to me. Seeing her, the sense of depravity and the lingering excitement that had filled my heart began to fade.
Though her outfit didn't exactly help—but since I had just been squeezed to my limit, I was fine for now.
Perhaps that was why neither Yu-ri’s skimpy white bikini nor Kang Yu-min’s athletic, high-cut swimsuit acted as a stimulus for my manhood.
Beside me, Yu-ri—who seemed to have sat close just to tease me—briefly let a sharp expression flicker across her face at my lack of reaction.
Is she trying too hard to mess with me? I quickly brushed the thought aside.
"Anyway, where did you and Dami Unnie go? I wanted to play with you, Oppa."
"I had a bit of land-sickness, so I was resting. Noona stayed there the whole time to look after me."
I gestured with my chin toward the terrace where Noona and I had been tangled together in a sticky mess just moments ago.
I had cleaned everything up, but it felt like we had been at it for an eternity. Because of that, Noona was still struggling with the sensations lingering inside her.
"Land-sickness? Are you okay now?"
As expected, Yu-ri was a good kid. She peered into my face, looking genuinely worried about my well-being.
Even though she teased me mercilessly, Yu-ri was always the first to check on my health.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Noona took good care of me."
"Really? You should've called me too..."
Her voice sounded a bit strange, but I didn't pay it much mind.
How could I possibly call my younger sister to a scene like that? Noona seemed to be thinking the same thing; we didn't say a word, only exchanging a knowing glance.
"So, how are we supposed to do this barbecue?"
"I heard it's mostly just grilling it ourselves."
"No, a chef is supposed to grill it for us. But they said we could do it ourselves if we wanted..."
"Really? It’d be a bit awkward with a chef hanging around."
"Then let's just grill it ourselves."
It was true—having a stranger join a family meal felt a bit uncomfortable.
If it were a high-end restaurant, that would be one thing, but grilling meat on a barbecue by the beach was different.
So, we decided to handle it ourselves and started gathering what we needed.
"Here are the plates and chopsticks."
"Oh, you brought wooden ones. What about the kimchi?"
"Is it okay to eat kimchi with barbecue?"
"Why wouldn't it be? Did you forget it?"
"As if I'd forget."
"Since when did you have such good sense?"
Kang Yu-min chuckled and nudged me with her elbow. I gave her shoulder a playful shove back before handing out the plates.
They were just disposable styrofoam plates, but using fine china in a place like this would have felt out of place anyway.
I opened the kimchi and set it on the folding table next to the grill. Then, I helped my sister heat water for the spicy cup ramen she insisted on having, even though I wasn't a fan of spicy food.
It was busy work since we chose to do everything ourselves, but I found myself enjoying it.
To be honest, it was fun. Our family had never really done an outdoor barbecue like this before.
Naturally, while Yu-ri was busy with the ramen and Kang Yu-min was occupied with the grill...
That left just me and Noona. The two of us were caught in a lukewarm atmosphere—neither awkward nor heated.
My eyes met Noona's as she was setting the table.
Even though the sunset had faded, her face was still faintly flushed.
"Is it still leaking out?"
"...Uh, wh-what?"
Noona looked flustered. I immediately knew why.
She probably hadn't expected me to ask so boldly, acting as if what happened earlier was no big deal.
She likely intended to treat it as just another part of the game, a quest to be completed and moved past.
She seemed to believe that was the only way to maintain this family for as long as possible.
But honestly, I didn't feel that way. To me, this was something you either accepted or rejected entirely.
And having tasted Noona's inner depths to my heart's content, I knew her body wasn't something I could just reject.
Even if I did push her away and eventually married some other woman, I knew something like this would happen again and again.
Whether we were drinking together or just happened to be left alone.
I knew that whenever our eyes met, our bodies would eventually entwine. Noona's body possessed that kind of magnetic pull.
Even now, despite being exhausted from ejaculating so much, just the thought of it made the blood rush to my groin. Noona flinched when she noticed the physical change in me.
"Sorry. Don't mind this. If it's really too much... we can go to the bathroom together later and finish it off."
"Wh-what are you...?"
"Are you asking because you don't know?"
Noona didn't answer. She just toyed with the plates for the grilled vegetables and meat, clearly trying to buy time.
I leaned toward her, making sure she could hear me clearly.
"Noona, we've already crossed the line."
"...I suppose so."
Her voice came out bitter. A quiet admission. Her face was still red, but I remained firm.
"Now that we've crossed it, trying to act like it never happened will only make things worse. It's better to just accept it."
"You think so...? But if Yu-min or Yu-ri find out..."
"Then we just have to make sure they don't."
I stiffened for a moment at the mention of Kang Yu-min's name, but Noona didn't notice.
I felt like I was doing something even more terrible now. I couldn't exactly call it two-timing since we were family.
I'd have to come clean eventually. At least when they were both in a position to accept it.
Or, we'd just get caught.
"You know it too, Noona. We can't just pretend it didn't happen."
Noona finally nodded.
She had no choice. Those three hours of being tangled together, the way my fluids had filled her for the duration of those animalistic acts—it all proved that we were no longer just siblings.
"I don't know how you feel, Noona, but I want to do it with you again."
"Even... now?"
"Even now."
Noona lowered her head so far I couldn't see her face. Worried that I might have offended her, I spoke again.
"I want to keep doing it. How about you, Noona?"
"...Noona wants to do it with Jin-i, too."
My heart hammered. I could feel my half-erection growing even larger. I adjusted its position before it could poke out of my swimsuit; it was still noticeable, but at least it wasn't popping out.
"That's good then."
Noona finally regained some of her composure. With a faint smile, she began moving busily again.
With this, I was now sleeping with two members of my family, but strangely, I felt no guilt.
Instead, I felt something closer to a sense of achievement. Perhaps my brain was already broken beyond repair.
By the time I finished setting the table, Kang Yu-min arrived with the meat.
"I grilled this to perfection. Right?"
She approached with a beaming smile. The meat she set down on the large styrofoam plate was clearly high-quality beef.
"Oh, look at you."
"What's that supposed to mean? You want to die? You think I can't even grill meat?"
"Usually, you can't."
"You...!"
"Don't drag out your words. Did you grill the sausages?"
"Ah, right. They gave us those too."
"Ugh, you dummy."
"You brat! How can you call your Noona a dummy!"
"Kids, kids. Let's not fight. We shouldn't argue when we're having such a nice time, right?"
Noona seemed to have regained her calm as she stepped in to mediate our bickering. For a moment, it felt like our old family dynamic was back.
Even though we had been intimate, Kang Yu-min was back to her usual feisty, prickly self, and Noona was showing her usual motherly affection.
Strangely, accepting the nature of our relationship made things feel more comfortable. Maybe it was because Kang Yu-min didn't care about such things to begin with.
I probably wasn't the only one finding comfort in this arrangement.
"Are Oppa and Unnie fighting again?"
In the midst of it all, Yu-ri returned. She let out a sigh as she plopped her bowl of stir-fried noodles onto the table.
Kang Yu-min immediately clung to her.
"Yu-ri... Kang Yu-jin keeps being mean to me..."
"Unnie, you're making me hot..."
Yu-ri let out a deep sigh but patted her older sister's back anyway, cooing at her. Since Kang Yu-min was shorter, they looked like their ages were reversed, though that was partly due to Yu-min's youthful face.
I let out a small laugh, and Dami Noona giggled along.
It felt like everything had returned to normal. In fact, maybe it really had.
It was just that I was now marking both Kang Yu-min’s uterus and Dami Noona’s uterus as my own.
I decided to focus on the benefits of the situation.
Now, I could perform quests and receive rewards in reality, not just in the game. And if Kang Yu-min and Noona ever found out the truth, the three of us might even be able to perform quests together.
I didn't know when this game's demands would end, but until then, I intended to reap as many benefits as possible.
With that thought, I checked my smartphone. The white goat icon in the status bar was a welcome sight.
Did that mean a quest had triggered?
I gave a small nod of thanks to Kang Yu-min as she sliced the well-cooked meat and went back to my phone.
I wondered what kind of quest it could be...
"Oppa, what are you looking at?"
My shoulders flinched as I tucked the phone away. I forced a smile for Yu-ri as she approached.
"Oh, just a mobile game."
"...That game?"
"No, no. Just a different one."
I knew Yu-ri would see right through that lie, but she didn't seem to care.
She seemed more interested in what she was holding in her hands.
And for good reason.
"Anyway, here, Oppa. They were giving these out over there, so I grabbed some."
My sister handed me a beer with a bright smile. I took it with a dazed expression, then looked over to see Kang Yu-min and Dami Noona both holding bottled beers as well.
Then, what was left in Yu-ri's hand?
I slowly turned my head back to Yu-ri. Realizing the entire family was staring at her, she gave an awkward, sheepish laugh.
"...Is it not allowed?"
In Yu-ri's hand was a bottled beer. Cold condensation was beaded on the glass, dripping down the sides.
Yu-ri clasped her hands together and looked up at me, trying to act cute.
But for once, I was firm.
"No."
Yu-ri obediently handed the beer over, and I set the confiscated bottle on the table.
It looked like I'd be drinking two bottles myself, but that was better than my underage sister drinking.
I let out a sigh at the grumbling Yu-ri.
Of course, I understood. She was the only one who wasn't an adult, so she probably felt left out. Or maybe she was just curious.
Either way, I couldn't allow it right now.
"It's not like you have long to wait anyway. I'll let you drink on your birthday, so just be patient."
"Okay..."
Yu-ri hung her head dejectedly at my words. Because of that, I failed to notice the mischief brewing in her eyes.
Besides, if anyone was to blame, it was my own pathetic alcohol tolerance.
Without a thought for the consequences, I popped the cap and took a long swig of the beer.
