“Ugh…”
As soon as she confirmed Luna had left the room, Elise yanked the blanket over her head all the way.
And began her alone time.
Lately, this had been getting worse.
Her mind was filled with… only the teacher.
The problem was that Elise acted somewhat open on the outside.
But deep down, she was as innocent as a sheltered young lady from a strict family.
In front of the person she actually liked, she was hopelessly passive.
An imperial forbidden fruit…?
Maybe something like that.
So with Luna gone right now, she had no choice but to take care of the big deed herself.
Elise closed her eyes, picturing the teacher’s face.
How much time passed like that?
- Beep… Beep beeeep!
“?!”
Elise sprang up from her seat like a coiled spring.
The sound of the rabbit burrow’s passcode being entered.
Sister came back already?
It hadn’t even been ten minutes since she left…
“Eh.”
She glanced at the clock by the bed and froze in shock.
Somehow, two hours had flown by.
A lot more time had passed than she thought.
Elise scrambled off the bed.
“Eek…”
She stared at the bed.
She hurriedly threw the blanket over it.
Hide it for now. She could air it out later.
Anyway, sister will head straight to the shower… should be fine…
- Bang.
But to her embarrassment, it wasn’t the bathroom door that opened first—it was Elise’s own bedroom door.
“Elise?”
Luna stepped inside and locked eyes with her.
Sister was… smiling way too brightly, almost unnaturally.
Her cheeks were flushed a peachy pink, her eyes gleaming with a moist shine.
She looked especially beautiful today. She was always pretty, but today was on another level.
“Just woke up?”
“…Yeah.”
Elise nodded stiffly.
Her heart pounded like crazy.
Does it smell…? Did I cover it all up okay?
“Thanks for lending me the clothes. Appreciate it.”
“Clothes…?”
Luna kept beaming as she thanked her for that morning favor.
Oh, right.
She had said something about borrowing them.
Elise scanned Luna’s outfit.
But…
“…That’s not my clothes?”
The outfit was actually Luna’s own.
Where were her clothes?
Luna made an “Ah” face at that.
- Swish.
Suddenly, she tugged down the front strap of her white dress.
“Ugh?!”
Stunned by her sister’s abrupt move, Elise started to turn her head away.
“……?”
Did she see that wrong?
There was Elise’s underwear.
Unopened, even.
The luxury set from that high-end clothing company as a gift.
The one she’d hoped to save for the teacher someday.
Her sister Luna was wearing it.
“Used it well.”
“Used it…?”
Used it where, exactly?
Could you even call wearing underwear “using” it?
In that moment of total confusion.
“I confessed to the teacher.”
Luna’s next words hit like a thunderbolt from a clear sky.
Elise’s brain shut down. Cleanly.
“Told him I like him.”
Luna’s face turned red.
The sister Elise knew wouldn’t lie about something like this.
So it was real.
She’d confessed to the teacher who’d counseled her.
She’d heard it from Lily.
Elise’s sudden heat cycle was most likely tied to her sister.
She hadn’t believed it could be true.
But…
The target of that heat cycle was the teacher?
Then…
If that was the case…
Sister and little sister—the twins—would both be in love with the same man.
But Elise wasn’t shocked by the phenomenon itself.
Beastkin pheromone assimilation sometimes caused the closest females to fall for the same male… it was rare, but it happened.
“Sister…”
Elise flopped straight onto the bed.
She felt the texture of the ruined sheets against her butt.
No helping it now.
She squeezed her eyes shut tight and gripped the blanket hard.
- Flip!
She flung the blanket aside, coolly exposing everything.
The clingy sheets were all out in the open.
Anyone could tell what had happened.
“I… like the teacher too…”
Elise confessed, palms pressed over her eyes.
Desperation fit the bill.
She couldn’t give up these feelings anyway.
Luna’s eyes went wide like a startled rabbit.
Seeing her sister’s reaction, Elise despaired inwardly.
What now?
Same guy as sister…
But Luna’s response was completely outside Elise’s expectations.
She curled the corners of her mouth up.
Her dark red eyes drifted not to Elise’s face, but to the damp sheets she’d uncovered.
She stroked over them with her hand. They were probably all cold by now.
“You worked hard… all by yourself.”
Luna plopped down right next to Elise on the wet sheets, flashing a seductive smile.
She didn’t seem bothered at all.
“Perfect.”
She stroked Elise’s head as she said it.
“Right?”
“……”
Elise stared into Luna’s glistening eyes and understood completely.
Sister wasn’t scolding her.
She was… happy about it.
“We were originally one when we were little.”
That was right.
Luna and Elise had gone down different paths as they grew up.
But as kids, they did everything together.
Hair colors aside, they were the same.
“Same now.”
Luna said with a smile.
Elise’s heart thumped at the sight.
Not shame. Immorality…? Maybe.
“Ah…”
Yeah.
This was normal.
- Swish…
Luna gently took Elise’s hand.
Elise flinched and trembled, but didn’t pull away.
In the end, she softly clasped the hot hand back.
“The teacher… will like it too…”
Luna whispered hotly into Elise’s ear.
“Right?”
Elise’s eyes slowly glazed over.
Her thoughts ground to a halt as her sister’s voice echoed in her head.
Mad heat seeped from their clasped hands into Elise’s body.
Heat? Or… pheromones? She couldn’t tell.
But that warmth… it was like pleasure itself. It began overtaking her whole body.
She could feel it without words.
Ah… sister’s feeling this right now.
She must be so happy.
Of course.
Sister and I were always meant to be together.
“Yeah…”
Elise gripped her sister’s hot hand tighter, cheeks burning red.
She even laced their fingers together.
It had always been like this.
Back when they were little, Luna would hold Elise’s hand whenever she got scared.
This time would be the same.
All she had to do was trust her sister.
Morning always came the same way—by opening your eyes.
I headed to the association, doing my best to sort through last night’s shocking session with Luna in my head.
Not that there was much to sort.
I just decided to take it easy.
I believed I was in the right.
Today marked Seol Yu-wol’s first official duty.
A house call was on the schedule.
I’d originally planned to push it back, but she needed to start her bodyguard gig sometime, so I bumped it up on purpose.
I’d run a few more simulations yesterday.
The pattern was clear: the farther Seol Yu-wol got from me, the higher her dependency spiked.
Looked like the only cure was to stick together constantly.
No helping it.
Had to do it.
So today, I’d be meeting Seol Yu-wol and Mary.
Man…
Truth be told, Seol’s shocking status was more than enough on its own.
But yesterday, another nuke had dropped.
Of course, things had calmed down a lot since then.
I’d have to chat with Luna again.
It’d surely go well.
I opened the door to the association office.
“Good morning.”
I waved confidently as I greeted them.
“…Yes, good morning, Counselor.”
The team leader nodded slowly, eyeing me like I was nuts.
“No gown today…?”
“Yeah. Tossed it.”
“Pardon…?”
Not tossed, exactly.
In the laundry. Though I probably wouldn’t have worn it today anyway.
“Where’s Yu-wol?”
I smiled and cut to the chase.
“Ah, waiting in the next room over. That’s her office now.”
“Got it. Thanks—good work.”
I nodded and headed out.
Right before the door clicked shut, I caught the staff murmuring inside.
- In a good mood today…?
- Casual clothes suit him well…
I brushed off their confusion and went to greet my personal bodyguard.
- Knock knock.
“Coming in?”
At the same time, I checked Seol Yu-wol’s status with PIN.
No issues, so I swung the door open wide without waiting for an answer.
“Uh… y-yes…?”
Seol startled and shot to her feet.
She bowed her head.
“Head out now?”
I asked first.
“Ah… yes. Oppa…”
The term still felt awkward on her tongue—her cheeks flushed a bit.
Her eyes scanned my outfit.
“What, doesn’t suit me?”
I grinned and asked.
“No, no! It suits you perfectly…”
Seol waved her hands frantically in denial.
“Good.”
I stepped closer to her.
The necklace I’d given her yesterday gleamed faintly outside her shirt.
“Looking pretty today.”
She’d worn the necklace.
Suited her great.
I met her eyes straight on and smirked.
“Ah…”
Seol’s face turned red.
Time to go.
House call departure.
“Let’s move.”
“Yes…”
“Oh, and stick close to me as much as possible.”
“Huh?”
Her blue eyes went wide.
I’d run sims all night—turns out, Seol and I had to stay glued together.
Any other path led to skyrocketing dependency. Bad endings.
Just like that.
Eyes shut tight.
We had to be happy.
“Like this.”
I gently tugged her shoulder, positioning her right up against my side.
Her shoulder pressed into my arm.
“Stick tight.”
I smirked at her flushed cheek.
“Not hard, right?”
Seol stared into my eyes, her mouth slowly falling open.
“Yes…”
She tilted her head slowly toward me.
Seol Yu-wol’s first mission had begun.
