Numb Arms and the Leader's Growing Suspicion
Sis, what's wrong?
The next morning, when I opened my eyes, both my arms had gone completely numb.
"Guh...?"
I stretched my arms out to the sides, wondering why I couldn't feel them, and glanced at either side of me. On my left was Soye, and on my right was Im Haeun, both using my arms as pillows while they lay there.
"......."
Ah, this was gonna be pins and needles for the next ten minutes at least. I had to pull my arms free as soon as possible—but...
...my arms won't die on me, right?
Both women were fast asleep on either side of me, snoring softly, and I couldn't budge. They had their heads turned toward me, pressing their naked bodies right up against mine.
I didn't want to shatter this moment.
"Mmm... Se...jin?"
Maybe she sensed I was awake, because Soye opened her eyes soon after.
"Sleep well, sis?"
"Yeah, good morning, hehehe...."
Soye smiled happily. Then she leaned in and kissed me right away. Our lips met, tongues intertwined, and the moment we woke up, we were mixing our saliva.
"Hngh, haah, hmm, hnn...."
When the kiss ended, Soye was panting a little. Her hand casually slid down toward my dick.
"It's hard?"
"Guys wake up like this all the time."
"Oh, really?"
She gave a vague reply while stroking my cock lightly with her hand.
"......."
That's when I felt eyes on me from the right. I turned my head. Im Haeun had woken up at some point and was staring at me and Soye.
"Um... sorry to interrupt."
"Wanna join?"
"Y-you think I'm some horny demon like you?"
Even as she said that, her eyes had just flicked toward my dick.
"Not that, but shouldn't we get moving? Minji's probably alone at the dorm."
"Oh my, you're right. I forgot about Minji."
"Whoops. What was today's schedule again?"
At Haeun's words, Soye and I hurried to get up. Because of that, Haeun smacked her head on the floor.
"Ouch! Hey, seriously!"
"Aigoo, sorry."
I gave a half-hearted apology, got up, grabbed my clothes, and started dressing. I helped the two of them get dressed first and sent them to the car, then tidied up roughly and stepped out of the room.
"Excuse me...."
A woman was standing by the door next door. It was the lady who lived next door.
"Ah, yes. What's up?"
"Um... about last night."
She scratched her cheek awkwardly before continuing.
"Please be more considerate of the neighbors. I get that you're young and full of energy, but at night... people are trying to sleep."
"Yes...?"
"Anyway, that's all."
She finished what she had to say and scurried off. Watching her go, I thought to myself.
I need to be more careful.
Last night too, and lately, I'd been getting a bit careless. If I wasn't vigilant, I might cross a river of no return. Time to sharpen up my awareness.
...Gotta move out first thing.
Once I make some money, top priority is finding a place with good soundproofing. Suddenly, I had a reason to hustle for cash that morning.
At lunch, while The Queens gathered to eat salads, Im Haeun kept glancing at Shin Soye's expression.
"Huh? What's up~?"
"...Nothing."
Soye smiled brightly as usual, but Haeun turned her head away.
She's... probably fine now, right?
Last night, when Soye had shown up in front of the park, Haeun thought her heart would stop. Getting caught like this by Soye, Sejin's girlfriend.
She's gonna kill me, unnie...!
Haeun vaguely knew how scary Soye could be. She was always kind and never got mad at anyone, but Haeun had seen a few times how terrifying she got when she did lose her temper.
So when she saw Soye, Haeun figured she'd unload her anger on Sejin and her right then. But instead, Soye had shown her the leash.
And then she and Sejin had trained her together. Soye's training was even more intense than Sejin's.
At least this is... better.
Haeun couldn't refuse it. She'd been caught red-handed in something shady, so she had no moral ground to stand on, and Soye was a precious big sister she didn't want to fight with anyway.
The result was last night. From now on, she'd probably get trained by both of them like that sometimes.
"Haeun, you feeling okay? You sick or something?"
Soye asked worriedly.
"I'm fine...."
Haeun answered reflexively. She couldn't say anything else, and half of it was true anyway.
At least unnie isn't fully mad... that's a relief.
So things were still okay for now. Haeun stopped peeking at her and focused on her meal.
When you feel guilty, you end up taking extra care of the person. After letting her stay out overnight on her own and realizing she hadn't been looking after her properly lately, Soye felt unnecessarily sorry toward Park Minji.
"Minji, want some chocolate?"
"Yeah!"
That evening, in The Queens' dorm. Soye shared the chocolate she'd brought with Minji. With the performances over and all restrictions lifted, chocolate was pure bliss for Minji.
"This is French chocolate—tastes great and super good for stamina recovery. You've probably never seen it before...."
"I know this one well... it's yummy."
Minji took the chocolate from Soye with a smile. But Soye's expression changed slightly at her response.
"You know it well?"
This was a special product, hard to find on the market. Soye had gotten it from her dad—how did Minji know about it?
"Oppa gave it to me... I've had it before."
"Oh, really?"
Ah, that explained it. Yeah, she'd given Sejin some food before that included this chocolate. Soye's doubts cleared up easily at Minji's answer.
"Phew, all done washing up."
Haeun came out of the bathroom.
"Anyone else need it...?"
As she said that, she subtly avoided Soye's gaze. Even knowing Soye wasn't mad anymore, Haeun had been dodging her eyes ever since that night.
"Did you two... have some kinda fight?"
And Minji noticed the weird vibe.
"Fight? What fight."
"Nothing like that~"
Haeun bolted to her room after that. Minji watched her go, then asked Soye.
"Really nothing happened?"
"Nope, nothing~"
"But... you two seem weird... both came back from staying out...."
Soye tried to brush it off, but Minji wouldn't let it go. She was just worried about her precious big sisters, but right now, Soye wasn't thrilled about that.
"I said there's nothing~"
To shut Minji up, Soye went for her usual playful attack. Tickle tickle.
"Eek, unnie, heehee...!"
Tickle tickle, squeeze squeeze. But when Soye tickled her armpits, sides, and then groped her breasts, Minji's reaction was anything but normal.
"Ahh, hyaah...!"
"...Huh?"
A lewd moan. It was a voice Soye had never heard from Minji before, and without thinking, she kept groping.
"Hyang... hngh...."
It was shocking. Not the usual whimpering cry of "stop teasing," but something like she was enjoying it—a flushed face, ragged breathing, and a slightly trembling body....
This was the first time Minji reacted like this to Soye's playfulness.
"Unnie, stop...!"
Minji finally shoved Soye's hands away. Ever since that one time with Sejin, her sexual desire had been building up bit by bit, and the food he'd shared had her body heating up more and more. Even the slightest touch had felt good, leaving her flustered too.
"Sorry... Minji."
Soye's mind raced to make sense of the situation. This reaction was like Minji had awakened to her sexuality... but how? Could it be from the food?
Wait. She said Sejin gave it to her?
And after training Haeun last time, Haeun had made excuses to her too.
'We didn't do that much. I-I just got trained every day. I'm not stealing your boyfriend or anything. We haven't done much lately either....'
She'd said they hadn't done much lately. It hadn't meant anything at the time, but now it hit different.
Come to think of it, that day she left Minji in the car... came back super late totally wiped out? And the next day, the car reeked of knockout spray.
No way. With the missing piece in place, her intuition snapped to the truth instantly.
"Unnie... why the long face...?"
Minji asked worriedly from the side. Soye looked at her for a moment, then took her hand.
"Minji."
"Y-yeah?"
"Wanna take a quick walk?"
"A walk...? Sounds annoying...."
"Just a short one."
There was an irresistible force in Soye's words.
"O-okay...."
She had no idea what was going on, but she knew she couldn't say no. Minji nodded obediently.
The next day. As usual, I headed to the dorm early to round up the girls.
Slide.
"...Good morning."
Haeun, who was always last, got in the car first. And she even greeted me brightly.
"Uh, morning. Where are the others?"
"Beats me...? Still in their rooms maybe...."
She shrugged with a smirk. What was up with her all of a sudden?
"You eat something bad or what?"
She just shook her head no.
"Why aren't they coming out? Something happen?"
"Probably... gonna have to go up and drag 'em down."
"What kinda nonsense is that?"
"Go see."
She grinned as she replied. That look and attitude were kinda pissing me off. I shot her a weird glare, got out of the car, and headed back up to the dorm.
Ding dong.
Knock knock knock.
"Sis, everything okay?"
I rang the bell and knocked, calling out, but no answer from inside.
"I'm coming in?"
Creeeak.
I opened the door and stepped in. First thing I saw was Minji, fidgeting anxiously in front of Soye's room.
"What, you weren't sleeping, Minji?"
"O-oppa...."
I went over to her. Soye's door was shut.
"Sis sick or something?"
"W-well... um... hngh...."
Minji whined like a puppy scolded by its owner. No point expecting a straight answer from her, so I knocked on the door.
Knock knock.
"Sis, you okay?"
No response from the room.
Knock knock knock.
"Sis?"
I knocked again, still nothing. We had a morning schedule, so we needed to hustle.
"I'm coming in?"
I cracked the door open and peeked inside. There was Shin Soye, huddled on the bed with her back to the door.
She's not sleeping... so what's she doing like that?
It was like she was screaming I'm mad at you! with her whole body. Weird—last time after we did it together, she seemed totally over it.
"Sis, what's wrong?"
I asked in a worried tone as I approached her from behind.
