Choi Gahee's Invitation (1)
Cho Yuli's counseling sessions were going smoothly. I'd been worried since I couldn't oversee them myself, but thankfully, they were good people who were helping stabilize her mentality. That eased one of my worries. As proof, her recent SNS posts weren't negative anymore. Instead of posts full of anxiety, she was uploading photos of training notes on self-respect she'd gotten from her counselor. Sure, there were still occasional posts dripping with that early-morning melancholy vibe, but this was a huge improvement. Who knew her symptoms would improve this quickly? Looks like I won't have to worry about her for a while.
I finished checking SNS on my way home from school, nodded in satisfaction, and headed inside.
"I'm home."
"Yeah, good work today~"
"Huh? Sis, you're home early?"
"They let us off early for Family Day."
Well, she sometimes got home before me, so I didn't think much of it. As I kicked off my shoes and glanced toward my sister, my eyes naturally shifted to the person beside her.
"T-T-Taeyang, good work today."
Choi Gahee, in her school uniform, greeted me cautiously.
"Yeah, Gahee sis. Long time no see."
Gahee sis smiled warmly at my response, letting out a little puff through her nose.
"Yeah! I brought cake, so let's eat together!"
It was a bit awkward, but Gahee sis dropping by was natural enough. She was Hayan sis's friend, after all. And I had no real reason to act openly uncomfortable around her.
"Sure, I'll wash up first."
I quickly washed my hands and feet, then headed to the living room. Gahee sis patted the spot next to her like it was a given. I pretended not to notice and sat by Hayan sis instead, earning her a dejected look.
"Oh, Taeyang, didn't Juyeon buy you a meal last time?"
"Yeah, her shoe heel broke, and I happened to have slippers."
This was the story I'd heard from Juyeon sis in advance. She'd asked me to play along since we'd covered it that way. Of course, she wasn't the type to blab about crying and getting jealous to others.
"I should repay Juyeon next time. Still, getting something pricey like that."
"Yeah, Juyeon's surprisingly generous with money."
The sisters started chatting like usual. Was I just supposed to quietly eat cake? As I debated making an excuse to leave, I noticed Gahee sis stealing glances at me.
"Gahee sis, something you wanna say to me?"
"Huh? Oh, well..."
I'd only said it to deflect her stare, but apparently, she really did have something. Gahee sis blushed faintly, her lips twitching.
"Gahee wants to invite you to her house sometime."
It was Hayan sis who finally spoke up.
"Gahee sis's house?"
I looked at Gahee sis, who had her head bowed low.
"With you, Hayan sis?"
"Mm... I don't think I can this weekend. Just you is fine, right?"
"No, sis..."
"Of course!!"
Gahee sis nodded vigorously, her breathing quickening with excitement.
"If you can't make it, that's too bad, but what can you do."
"Then next time, I..."
"Oh, Taeyang! Willy misses you!"
Gahee sis threw out an excuse to preempt my refusal. Did Willy even remember me?
"Mm... but even if she's your friend, sis, going casually to a girl's house..."
"...You went to Iri's house though..."
"Huh? What'd you say?"
"Huh? Oh, nothing. You really can't come?"
For a split second, a chilling tone sent shivers down my spine. I asked again in confusion and checked her eyes, but Gahee sis looked normal.
"No, it's not that I can't."
I'd have to face Gahee sis eventually anyway. Dodging her forever would just tank her affection. Plus, she'd even triggered her yandere traits during the school trip, so sooner was better.
"Sure. If it's okay with you, I'll go."
Gahee sis's face lit up noticeably. She nodded and reached out a hand.
"Don't pat my head."
"Huh?"
Damn, I flinched remembering when her yandere side had awakened and gone into command mode. I made an excuse.
"I-It's embarrassing. I'm in eighth grade now."
Even though I'd said it out of fear, Gahee sis grinned and nodded.
"So cute."
Yelling "Don't call me cute!" here would just make it worse for me. I scowled and shoved some cake in my mouth. The sweetness filled my mouth, but it didn't improve my mood at all. Maybe overly sweet stuff just wasn't my taste. Or maybe I was too tense to savor it. Worried about getting cream on my face or spilling, I only took tiny bites.
"Doesn't taste good?"
"No, Gahee sis, it's good. I must've eaten something bad for lunch; my stomach's off."
"Oh no, want some medicine?"
"I already took some at the nurse's office. I'll be fine if I skip eating for a bit."
"Shouldn't have brought the cake?"
"We can eat it later. I'll rest in my room, so call me when you're heading out."
With that, I bolted to my room. Gahee sis was seriously tough to deal with. Ever since she'd fixated on me, she'd act all submissive around me normally, then suddenly get excited and her yandere side would pop out, bossing me around. I needed to lower her affection fast.
Once in my room, I sat at my desk and casually opened a drawer.
"Gotta use this if the chance comes."
I glanced indifferently at the adult manga. This world was weirdly convenient—you could get porn mags or hentai without even going to Japan. Of course, you needed proper age verification, but I'd gotten this through a guy friend. I pulled out the brand-new, still-wrapped book.
*Knock knock*-
"Taeyang... you okay?"
My heart nearly stopped. I slammed the drawer shut.
"Taeyang, I'm heading out now."
Oh, Gahee sis. Suppressing my pounding heart, I cracked the drawer open again. This was my chance. The cover wasn't too explicit, so she wouldn't be too shocked. Just enough for her to glimpse the title.
"Uh, come in, Gahee sis."
As I said that and she entered, I hurriedly pretended to close the drawer.
".........?"
Gahee sis tilted her head. Thankfully, Hayan sis wasn't there. I'd been prepared to get chewed out by her too, but dodged that bullet.
"What're you doing?"
"N-Nothing! Absolutely nothing!!"
I even acted blatantly flustered. My racing heart sold the performance perfectly.
"Hmm... feeling better? You don't need to lie down?"
"I-I'll handle that myself!"
"Huh?"
Gahee sis approached with concern, her eyes drifting to the half-open drawer.
"Oh, that's what it was?"
"What?"
Jackpot!! Now she'd get playful, wonder what it was, and pull out the "little sister" hentai from my drawer. She'd be totally grossed out by my tastes. I'd carefully picked something she'd hate most. At one point, I'd even considered hiding non-adult BL manga instead. But that could've sparked uncontrollable rumors about my sexuality, so I settled on little sister hentai.
"Should I take a peek?"
"Huh?"
"No, I really didn't see anything."
"Wh-What do you mean you saw? I have no idea."
"Then okay."
Ugh~ seriously! What was she hesitating for?! Whether to tease me cutely or use it as leverage, just look already!!
In the end, I played my trump card.
"I-It'S mY tAsTe... yOu cAn ReSpEcT tHaT, rIgHt?"
"T-T-Taste?"
I slammed the drawer shut like I was embarrassed and fled the room.
"Wait! Taeyang!"
So, how about it? Not curious about my tastes? You'd die without checking the secret kinks of someone you're obsessed enough to go yandere over, right?
I stepped out briefly, gave it some time, then returned to my room.
"Wait! On second thought, why should I leave?!"
I huffed and pushed Gahee sis's back.
"I'm embarrassed, so get out for now!"
"O-Okay... got it."
"You didn't actually look, right?"
"Huh? Oh, no. It's your privacy."
"...Keep it secret from sis."
"Yeah."
Gahee sis left the room looking flustered herself. I said bye to Hayan sis too.
"Phew~ is this gonna work?"
What if she just got flustered and nothing changed? I'd expected her to be super turned off learning the guy she liked was into little sister hentai. First, let's check if she looked. I opened the drawer. The wrapped new book... wait, the back showed signs it'd been opened and resealed. Probably peeked and put it back. Perfect. Now all that's left is watching her reaction.
If she acts awkward or keeps her distance when I visit this weekend, my wish will come true.
*Ding-dong*-
I'd steeled myself before coming to Gahee sis's house. The elegant, sprawling mansion was always awe-inspiring. A rich girl like this obsessing over me... anyone hearing would curse me as spoiled. But I didn't want to get dragged to a deserted island by a yandere. Today, I'd go all-in to shatter her affection.
"Coming~"
I heard Gahee sis approaching, and the door opened. But the fallout from getting caught with the lewd manga went in a direction I never imagined.
"Welcome home, master~?"
"......Pardon?"
"Master, I've been waiting since morning."
Her speech was confusing enough, but something even more baffling caught my eye.
"Sis...... why are you in a maid outfit?"
"Oh? Isn't this your taste, master?"
Gahee sis spun around, showing off freely. I was losing my mind. So the little sister hentai had a maid in it... I'd bought it but never read it, and here was Gahee sis meticulously preparing it.
"Master? Don't you like it?"
Various thoughts swirled as I stared at her tilting her head.
'Should've gone with the BL route...? No. She might get gender reassignment surgery. Never that.'
'Screw tastes—just never bring it up again.'
"Master~ are you lost in thought ignoring me?"
Gahee sis puffed her cheeks cutely and urged me inside.
"Sorry, I wanna go home."
But "stubborn maid little sister" Gahee sis forcibly dragged me in.
