Chapter Title: The Girl I Believed Was My Childhood Friend's Friend Raped Me (1)
Juyeon-hee and I came home together. As soon as we entered after punching in the door lock code, a dim entryway greeted us.
Was no one home?
Aunt's shoes were in the entryway. So someone was home.
With all the lights off, what could she be doing alone? An eerie air hung in the atmosphere.
"Oppa, good night. I was so happy today."
With that greeting, Juyeon-hee slipped off her shoes and scurried to her room. She didn't care about Aunt or anything.
At least she seemed in a good mood, which was a relief. While the drug was still in effect, she wouldn't act on any bad impulses.
There was only one reason Juyeon-woo had given his body to Juyeon-hee. It wasn't because he liked her and offered it willingly—it was a stopgap measure to keep her from causing trouble.
Yet Juyeon-hee seemed satisfied with just that.
"Hoo..."
I had to keep watch until the family regained its peace. Even if things felt safe for now, who knew when it might blow up again.
The relationship between Aunt and Juyeon-hee was no different from a time bomb.
'Who knows if the manga has even ended.'
Eum Ji-hye's NTR manga, Virgin Teacher Until Thirty Awakens Hypnosis, seemed to have wrapped up.
The ending where Eum Ji-hye, having awakened the hypnosis app, met her downfall—finally conceiving Juyeon-woo's child and earning the heroine's disgust.
It wasn't the standard cliché for hypnosis mangas, but it was an ending you saw now and then.
In manga terms, it probably climaxed with the baby-making sex at Eum Ji-hye's place, featuring the impregnation scene as the finale.
Capped off with a scene of them passing each other at the academy, pretending not to know one another.
But with Aunt and Juyeon-hee as protagonists in My Brother Clings to Mother, I couldn't get a read on it.
Doesn't one of them have to meet a tragic end? That's what I kept thinking. But neither Aunt nor Juyeon-hee seemed headed for a defeat ending.
'If this keeps going, it'll be an open ending where they secretly maintain this relationship without Aunt knowing...'
Sharing family under one roof. This conclusion could practically count as a happy ending for Juyeon-hee.
She'd connected with someone she could never have, all thanks to a twist of fate.
If we'd lived normal lives, Juyeon-hee never would have dreamed of such a relationship. The normal ending would have been her suffering in silence, burying her feelings without ever voicing them.
Thanks to Aunt's sudden impulse, she'd gotten a chance to gamble her life on it.
'...I hope it ends like this.'
It wasn't that I liked Juyeon-hee more and wanted her happy ending. I just wished for no more variables.
With Boy's Corruption, starring Han-seol and Geum Tae-yeon, heading toward its finale, I wanted Aunt and Juyeon-hee wrapped up here.
Knock knock knock.
I was lying in bed when someone knocked. It was Aunt.
—Juyeon-woo, may I come in?
She usually barged in without a word, but now she was suddenly asking permission before opening the door. It felt so awkward.
"What is it...?"
I never imagined facing Aunt in my room would feel this awkward.
She hadn't come for sex in days, so there'd been no reason for her to enter my room. The strange atmosphere weighed heavily on my shoulders.
Aunt gazed at me steadily before speaking.
"Juyeon-woo. I'm not trying to scold you—this is just me asking, in case."
She was choosing her words carefully. She really didn't want any misunderstandings.
Aunt laid the groundwork thickly before continuing.
"I'm worried you two might have done something wrong. As the responsible adult, I have to ask—forgive me."
"......"
A chilling sensation crawled up my spine. Like the thief who gets nervous at the mention of thieves?
I realized there was steel beneath Aunt's softly tossed words. I could feel it.
"It's not your fault. You're a good boy, so you probably couldn't refuse Juyeon-hee's request."
The moment she mentioned Juyeon-hee, I understood the situation. I could picture the unfolding events in my head.
'So no happy ending after all.'
The relationship between Juyeon-hee and Juyeon-woo was one society wouldn't allow. The instant it got out, it was over.
Even the people who'd taken photos and gotten autographs from us on the street today would point fingers if they knew the truth.
A few overly tolerant types might brush it off as understandable, but most would react negatively.
I didn't need to experience it to know.
"......"
I kept my mouth shut. I swallowed any response to Aunt's words. My body didn't react much either.
Aunt continued.
"Juyeon-woo. Why did you do it?"
"...Do what?"
"Why you had sex with Juyeon-hee. That's what I want to hear. So I can judge. You're a good boy who cares about family, so there must be a reason."
Aunt was tossing the question calmly, all things considered. This could upend everything.
Or did she have another goal?
"...Juyeon-hee..."
I opened my mouth anyway. My body would cut me off if I said something I shouldn't, so I roughly explained everything up to now.
"She said she's liked me since we were kids. I only realized her feelings recently, but..."
Realizing it changed nothing. All Juyeon-hee was allowed was to watch from afar.
Even as she watched Han-seol, her childhood friend rival, grow close to Juyeon-woo, Juyeon-hee couldn't do a thing.
"Then things blew up. Aunt found out the truth."
The genetic test results: Aunt, Juyeon-woo, and Juyeon-hee—the twins—weren't blood-related. Not a drop of shared blood.
Aunt's biological brother—the twins' father on paper—had been cuckolded.
From Aunt's perspective, it must have felt like her blood was boiling in reverse.
He hadn't just died; he'd been caught in a terrorist attack while trying to protect twins who weren't even her blood. Even if they hadn't been close siblings in life, it must have been hard to contain her rage.
So she'd lashed out. Pouring her desires onto Juyeon-woo, the spawn of that bastard.
Rationalizing the lecherous glances she'd been stealing all along.
"...I understand how Aunt felt. It must have been tough."
She could have reported it. But Juyeon-woo forgave her. Because he understood her emotions, he'd accepted her as family.
The same went for accepting Juyeon-hee. From my viewpoint, Aunt and Juyeon-hee were family all the same.
"So that's why you did it. Had sex with Juyeon-hee."
The blunt word popped from Aunt's mouth. Sex. Dick rubbing pussy.
I didn't deny it.
"Got it."
Aunt didn't say more and left my room. Her firm turn of the back left me with an inexplicable unease.
Like she was about to do something drastic.
Should I stop her? My body stirred.
'We have sex once and she finds out right away. The timing is impeccable.'
She couldn't have figured it out today. Bursting in without evidence would be ridiculous.
From Aunt's side, she'd come with conviction.
Unless she'd prepared in advance, she couldn't have confronted me so boldly. She'd probably suspected for a long time.
'Since when...'
Now that Aunt knew, the happy ending was out of reach. It was beyond my control.
What would she do to Juyeon-hee?
I'd find out soon enough.
"...Juyeon-hee?"
Juyeon-hee was gone. Right after Aunt found out, she vanished. The culprit was obvious. No need to search far.
"Aunt!"
Aunt greeted me leisurely, as if she'd expected me to come.
"What's wrong?"
"...What did you say to Juyeon-hee?"
"I just told her I knew what you'd done."
Her face might as well have been clad in iron—she said it brazenly.
"I even said I might spread word of your relationship to scare her a bit."
"Our relationship?"
"Yeah."
Aunt smirked.
"You know it too, Juyeon-woo. That your relationship is wrong. It's absurd. The moment the world finds out, it's over. Heroes? Han-seol? What do you think people will say?"
"......"
No happy ending for Juyeon-hee. A sad ending.
Aunt had blackmailed Juyeon-hee. Threatened to expose her impure relationship with her twin brother.
Getting caught meant ruin. Knowing that, Juyeon-hee couldn't defy Aunt.
"Juyeon-hee is in such a fragile state! Saying it like that...!"
"Pfft."
Aunt scoffed even after hearing how Juyeon-hee had nearly killed herself.
"She can't die. Suicide? Never. Why? Because if she dies, she can't even look at you anymore."
Her voice carried conviction.
"So I warned her. I won't tell the world, but get out of my house. And she left right away."
"...I never knew you were that kind of person."
"That kind? What kind is that? I just corrected a wrong relationship as an adult."
"...Juyeon-hee was trying too. To stay as family... But you..."
"To stay as family? Is that why she asked her oppa for just one time?"
"......"
I couldn't retort. My body clamped my mouth shut.
"The world wouldn't understand. But since I'm Aunt, and I know how pitiful you two are, I'm forgiving you by just kicking Juyeon-hee out."
"...Forgiving us?"
"Juyeon-woo. There's a Juyeon-woo baby in my belly. How could I tolerate your relationship? Han-seol... I can understand that for appearances' sake. But not Juyeon-hee."
"......"
Aunt was resolute. She felt no guilt over her decision.
I immediately tried contacting Juyeon-hee. But she didn't pick up my calls or texts.
Even by Monday, she hadn't come to the academy.
