Peeking Out
I was working my abs in the living room when my older sister poked her head out from her bedroom.
“You have no classes today, right?”
“Huh? How’d you know?”
“Because you’re still holed up at home instead of leaving.”
“As expected. Even though you never show it, you’ve been keeping a close eye on what your cute little brother is up to, huh?”
“....... I’m genuinely curious how that shameless brain of yours even functions.”
“If you like it, just say you like it. No need to beat around the bush.”
“Ugh. You smell like sweat.”
She scurried over, and the second I pulled her into a hug, she immediately started complaining.
“You said you wanted to see my abs. That’s why I’m working on them.”
“Do they even show if you only exercise at home?”
“Guess I’ll have to put in the effort and find out. I’m going to the gym anyway. So what’s up?”
“Today I…… what are you doing?”
“Today? Chest day.”
“C-chest?”
“Oh. More accurately, triceps too. If I see some asshole playing on his phone at the bench, I might just crack his skull.”
“I thought you meant something else. Then you could’ve just said you were working out. You didn’t have to confuse me.”
“Yeah, I said I was doing chest. You’re the one who didn’t get it.”
“Can’t you skip a day of your usual routine? Make some time for me.”
“Rest days are set for the weekend. It’ll mess up my split.”
“Even if your beloved older sister is asking? You still won’t?”
“Well…… I mean, I always say I like you, but…… you just snap at me every time you see me. Honestly, I have no idea how you really feel.”
I tilted my head toward her.
“If you’re going to say you like me…… you could at least give me a kiss……”
Chu.
“I like you. Minjun. There, happy?”
“Huh? What did you just say?”
“Are your ears clogged? I said I like you.”
“You did it way too half-assed. If you’re just trying to get it over with, you’re not a pussy, you’re just a shameless—”
“Fuck. That disgusting little habit of yours never fails to come out every time you open your mouth. Then what the hell do you want me to do?”
I pressed my lips against hers. Then, as seriously as I could, I said it.
“Noona. I love you.”
I poured my heart into the words. Her pupils trembled violently.
“Like this. See? Now you get it?”
“....... Ugh. You’re so damn picky.”
“Stop complaining and try it.”
When I leaned in again, she wrapped her arms around my neck and gave me a much longer kiss than before.
“I like you.”
Her cheeks were flushed red. See? You can do it if you try. She looked so adorable that I gave her butt a few playful pats.
Wait. But why all of a sudden?
“Do you need me to do something for you?”
Why was she suddenly acting so out of character? It was nice that she was being cute, but it made me a little nervous.
“Well…… I’m writing, and…… I need a scene.”
“Ah…… I see.”
Of course. It was for her novel again.
“I was thinking of going out for some hands-on research, but going alone feels weird. Come with me.”
“I just have to follow you around?”
“Yeah.”
“Okay. I’ll go.”
“Then get ready. And make sure you shower. I don’t want to be embarrassed walking around with someone who stinks.”
“For someone who’s asking for a favor, you sure have a sweet way with words. One kiss clearly isn’t going to cut it.”
I scooped her up in both arms.
“Hey! Hey! What are you doing?!”
“Showering together. You’re gonna wash me.”
“Come on. Why are you being such a pain in the ass this early in the morning? Let’s just go nicely, okay?”
“If we do it this way, your punishment tally’s just gonna go up. You sure that’s okay? Especially after starting the day like this?”
“You’re fucking always in heat, aren’t you? You crazy bastard.”
She clung to me and kicked her feet in the air. As if I’d let her go just because of that. I would’ve done it ages ago if that were the case.
“Alright, let’s go pick out Noona’s panties first. What should we dress you in today~”
“Ugh, seriously. You fucking dog.”
“If you’ve got time to curse, use it to kiss my cheek instead. All that pretty mouth of yours does is swear anyway.”
“That’s because you only ever do shit that makes me want to swear. Forget it. I’ll just go by myself.”
“Hey now. Getting feisty again. So, which drawer are your underwear in?”
“....... First one.”
Holding her like this made it hard to reach. When I grunted and stretched my arm, she opened the drawer for me instead.
“Good girl. Let’s see…… what should we put on you?”
“You’d rather I was naked anyway.”
“Not true? Noona looks good no matter what. Dressed or undressed?”
“Of course you’d say that.”
“But seriously, all your underwear looks the same. Every single one is so plain.”
“....... What do you want me to do about it? When have you ever bought me a pair of panties? Buy some and then complain.”
“Eh. Honestly, buying underwear for your sibling feels kinda weird.”
“What’s the big deal? Like you said, you’ve already seen everything there is to see.”
“Really? Then you’ll wear whatever I buy you?”
“....... Nothing weird.”
“Like a thong? Fishnet?”
“You’re such an idiot. I literally just said nothing weird.”
“What’s weird about that? Your ass is so pretty, I think it’d look amazing on you.”
“Is that even underwear? There’s nothing covering anything. Might as well just wrap a towel around your waist.”
“Anyway, I got it.”
“....... If you want to buy me some, show me first before you do. Don’t waste money on returns for something weird.”
“What about lingerie?”
“Shut the fuck up. Forget it. Just bring cash.”
“Why are you changing your mind? I’ll pick something modest.”
“It’s because of that filthy look in your eyes right now. I can totally tell you’re mentally dressing me up in your head.”
“Well, yeah. The real thing’s right here. No need to just imagine it.”
“Fuck. Hey. Do you actually like me? Or are you just after my body?”
“Come on. It’s not like that.”
“Swear on Mom and Dad?”
“Then if I say I’m not Kang Minjun but Choi Minjun, does that mean I can do whatever I want with you? Since we’re not even on the family register anymore?”
“If you’re gonna be Choi Minjun, you need to get the hell out of this house. You fucking mutt. We’re not even siblings anymore, so why are you still in our home?”
“If we’re not siblings, then it’s fine for me to date you, right?”
“Fuck off. I hate you. You disgust me. Have you decided to deliberately mishear everything I say now? Is that it?”
“You said you liked me earlier.”
“Agh! I don’t know anymore! You’re so fucking annoying. Put me down and get lost.”
“Okay, okay. I won’t tease you anymore. Let’s just pick your underwear quickly and go. I feel gross from all this sweat too.”
“Why do you automatically assume we’re showering together?! Why?!”
“....... Fine. If you hate it that much, I won’t.”
I gently set her down.
“Sorry. You’re just so cute that I went too far with the jokes. Guess it really pissed you off.”
I made the saddest face I possibly could. The kind that looked like I might cry any second.
“We promised to go out together, so I’ll keep my word. See you in a bit.”
I left her room wearing the exact same expression I used to make when my senior in the military was about to rip me a new one. Back then I’d be cursing him out in my head, but this time it was real. It actually hurt. Because she was mad at me.
“Haa…… fuck. Stop pretending to be sad again.”
“What, so every time I’m sad it’s an act? Even coming from you, that’s a little hurtful.”
“Fuck. Fuck. Fine. I’ll do whatever you want. I can’t believe I have such a perverted freak for a little brother.”
“Then why do you have to curse while you do it? Just be nice.”
“Because you only ever do things that make me want to curse! Only those things! Do you go to some special academy or something? Are you studying how to piss me off?”
“That’s what I’ve been wondering. Why does Noona always lose her shit? It’s not even that time of the month.”
“Fuck. It’s because of you. You!”
In the end, she started kicking my ass repeatedly. I’d taken so many hits over the years that my tolerance had gone up. At this point it just felt ticklish.
“Hey. Enough of that. Wear this.”
“....... Gray? Why?”
“It shows when it gets wet.”
“....... Fuck. One reason. What if I say no?”
“Oh, right. Now that I think about it, there’s no need to make you wear underwear at all, is there? Noona, wanna go out naked?”
“....... Give it. Fuck.”
After more back-and-forth struggling, I headed to my room.
“Come with me. I’ll pick yours too.”
“I’m the type who buys a ton of the same thing when it’s on sale.”
“No kidding.”
When I opened the drawer, it was nothing but the same color and same design.
“What about that flashy one you wore before?”
“My secret weapon panties?”
“Fuck. It’s just underwear.”
“I wore it to look good for you. And it actually made you rethink my dick, didn’t it?”
“It made me think it was disgusting. But since you’re already disgusting, I guess nothing really changed.”
“Actually I bought it for a body profile shoot. Should I just wear it today?”
“....... Anyway, you don’t have anyone else to show it to but me. Just wear it.”
“I was trying to save it. I saved up my allowance to buy the expensive one.”
“How much was it?”
“About the price of two of your bath bombs. Wait, maybe three?”
“Dude, you spent that much on underwear?”
“You’re the one spending that much on a single bath that all just washes away.”
“At least it’s good for my skin. Underwear isn’t even visible to anyone.”
“There’s this thing called aura. Aura. The aura that hits your dick.”
“I don’t really get it. I just wish you’d shut the hell up.”
“There’s no problem wearing it, but I wanted to save it until the shoot.”
“....... I’ll buy you another one.”
“Really?”
“So hurry up and get ready so we can go.”
“Then since I already have this one, I’ll pick a different color.”
“Black would work. You’re really taking advantage of the situation to try and strip your sister, huh?”
“I already have a lot of black ones.”
“Then what do you want?”
“Hmm…… red?”
“Of course you’d only pick colors like yourself.”
“What’s wrong with red? Or blue? Green? Yellow?”
“Can’t you pick something normal?”
“Like what?”
“Black. Gray.”
“Ugh. That’s so boring. Those are lame.”
“You wear underwear for fun now?”
“Not exactly, but when I pull my pants down right in front of you……”
“Why the fuck is the example me again?”
“Who else? Who would I pull my pants down in front of besides you? The aunt next door?”
“....... Anyway.”
“If they’re black, the outline doesn’t show up as well. It’s too dark.”
“Your dick is stupidly huge anyway, so it doesn’t matter. I already know exactly what it looks like.”
“I guess……”
“If you really want to wear something special in front of me, why don’t you wear the fishnets?”
“What?”
“Why not? It’d look cool and refreshing. Or maybe elephant ones. That’d be hilarious. Just dangling there like an elephant trunk.”
“Is that even underwear?”
“What’s wrong with it? I’ll buy it for you. It’d be way cheaper than that ridiculously expensive pair you have. What else should I dress you in? Hmm, a front-opening one could be fun. The kind where just the tip peeks out.”
‘Looking at her, you’re the bigger pervert……’
Her imagination was getting filthy. She was literally talking about making her little brother wear embarrassing stuff like that. At least I’d suggested normal kinds of underwear.
“.......”
But if I said anything she’d definitely get mad, so I’d better just let it go. I really didn’t want to hear her lose her temper again.
