Chapter Title: Geum Tae-yeon Keeps Touching Me, Can't Focus on the Movie (1)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Yawning, I stepped out of my room. I ran into Juyeon-hee in the hallway. She looked like she'd just come back from the bathroom.
Juyeon-hee spotted me and jumped like she'd seen a ghost, quickly averting her eyes.
I knew why, but Juyeon-woo didn't. So I played dumb and asked.
"What's up with you all of a sudden?"
"Huh? Oh?"
"Did something happen yesterday? Why are you avoiding my eyes like that? You're acting weird."
"No! Nothing!"
Juyeon-hee waved her hands frantically. Her voice got louder, like she was desperately denying her own guilt.
It was just like a thief getting cold feet. I gave her a suspicious look.
She avoided my gaze, her head swiveling awkwardly back and forth. It was robotic and kinda funny.
"No way..."
Gulp. I could almost hear her swallowing hard from here.
"Did I puke yesterday or something? That didn't happen, right?"
"...Yeah, you didn't. You just quietly went back to your room and crashed, Oppa."
Juyeon-hee explained what happened last night with a guilty flush on her face. It sounded more like an excuse—was that just my imagination?
I didn't dig deeper. I respected my little sister's curiosity.
"Phew, that's a relief. Man, I didn't even drink that much yesterday, but I got hammered out of nowhere..."
The booze hit me hard all at once. When I said that, Juyeon-hee played along appropriately.
I could tell she was sighing with relief inside.
'She did something she shouldn't have.'
She'd crossed the line. Not just touching her big brother's dick, but actually jerking him off until he came.
That was different from the Aunt raping me. Even a rapist like the Aunt wouldn't tolerate it—she'd definitely scold Juyeon-hee.
Juyeon-hee knew it too, which was why she was acting all shifty. Wondering if I somehow knew. Fidgeting all by herself.
'I'll keep your secret.'
This was buildup. For when our relationship with the Aunt eventually gets exposed.
Her body had given me permission for the buildup too. She didn't stop me or anything, just let it happen. So of course I'd enjoy it.
"Next time, let's drink properly."
"...Next time?"
I promised her a next time. No idea when it'd be, but the moment we were alone, I'd drink with her.
Her face lit up in a strange way. I could already sense her anticipation.
"What, you don't wanna drink with me, Oppa? Was I that much of a bother?"
"No! It's not that! I just... huh, didn't expect you to suggest it first. That's all."
"Good, then. Anyway, let's grab a drink when we have time. With the Aunt too, if you want."
Juyeon-hee had zero intention of drinking with the Aunt. On days the Aunt was around, she wouldn't even mention soju.
But I casually threw the Aunt in there. To keep up the act of knowing nothing.
"Yeah, sounds good. Drinking with the Aunt too."
Living under the same roof, but they weren't family. Their eyes only held unpleasant emotions when they looked at each other.
They both got it.
The Aunt had gone out of her way to take responsibility for the orphaned twins, only to find out they weren't her real brother's blood—they were that bastard's kids. Totally understandable.
And Juyeon-hee hating the Aunt's lecherous stares? Yeah, that checked out too.
'Poor Juyeon-woo stuck in the middle!'
Juyeon-woo might be pitiful, but I was thrilled. I just wanted hot girls to keep getting tangled up with me.
I spent the morning chilling out. Nothing to do on the weekend, just rolling around in my room.
Played some games for old times' sake.
Today, Juyeon-woo's parents died again. The game world was full of orphans without parents.
I played for a bit, then shut down the PC. Games weren't fun anymore.
There were way more fun things in this world than games. Just turning on my smartphone was entertaining enough.
Crazy sex maniacs were subtly flirting in their messages. Eum Ji-hye, Geum Tae-yeon, Han-seol—even Class President Mi.
'I didn't hypnotize them not to hit on me...'
Eum Ji-hye the teacher having that kind of relationship with Juyeon-woo was one thing. Class President Mi shoving her ass at me was entirely different.
I skimmed the messages and checked Han-seol's too. One said to meet at 1.
'Meeting at 1 probably means after lunch, right?'
If it was for lunch, she'd have said before 1.
Or maybe she picked a shitty time on purpose to piss me off.
Totally something Han-seol would do. With friends like her, best to just ask directly.
[Han-seol] — Ah!
[Han-seol] — Let's eat lunch too. Hehe.
I knew it. Asked just in case, and nailed it.
Anyone would think she wasn't an NTR manga heroine with how she kept proving it.
'Time to get moving.'
Prep time. Got up, washed up, got dressed.
"You heading out to meet Han-seol?"
Right as I was leaving, Juyeon-hee came over and asked. She was keeping tabs not just on the Aunt, but Han-seol too.
'Different manga doesn't mean completely separate stories.'
This might actually be the right reaction.
From Juyeon-hee's side, the Aunt eyeing her twin brother was annoying enough—but Han-seol tagging along like a "childhood friend" as if it was natural? That'd piss her off too.
"Yeah, she wants to watch a movie after a while."
"...Have a good date."
"It's not a date. We're just friends."
I flashed Juyeon-hee a bright smile and headed out.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ Han-seol arrived early at the meeting spot and waited for Juyeon-woo. She hadn't been able to hang out properly with him lately because of club activities, so she planned to make up for it today.
"Seol-ah."
Juyeon-woo was walking over from afar. Thanks to his tall stature and good looks, he stood out even in the crowd.
"Whoa... that guy's hot."
"His girlfriend?"
The women who brushed past Juyeon-woo all turned to look back. Their lewd gazes scanned him up and down.
Han-seol felt irritation and superiority at the same time. If anything, the superiority won out.
But she couldn't show it.
Worried someone might recognize her, she pulled her hat down lower over her face. From Juyeon-woo's view, it was ridiculous.
"Yeon-woo, you made it?"
Han-seol looked at Juyeon-woo. Her eyes roamed over him no different from those women earlier.
'Yeon-woo as my boyfriend...'
Even Han-seol herself could hardly believe it was real. The blatant stares from around them made it sink in more each time.
'So glad I'm his childhood friend.'
She knew it too. The only reason she could date a handsome guy with a great body like him was because she was his childhood friend.
Lucky her.
"Movie's booked for 2:20. Plenty of time, right?"
"We can grab lunch and browse around a bit."
Juyeon-woo looked around. Seemed like he was scouting for a decent restaurant.
This was right in front of the busy station. Tons of eateries.
"......"
Han-seol just stared at Juyeon-woo blankly. Her head filled with cliché thoughts like how just looking at him made her happy.
Juyeon-woo let out a soft sigh and took her hand, leading the way.
"Something light? Since it's lunch."
"Yeah, anything."
Han-seol answered and trailed after him obediently.
'I love how mature Yeon-woo is.'
Thinking something he'd choke on if he heard.
"Welcome!"
Juyeon-woo picked pho. Living off an allowance, fancy places were off-limits.
The two sat down naturally.
Quick glance at the menu, and he placed the order. His treat. Han-seol grinned at him.
"Seol-ah, how's training going?"
Juyeon-woo handed her a glass of water and asked. Han-seol started chattering away. Not so much explaining as bragging about how hard she was working.
Juyeon-woo listened quietly. This was nice—he just had to open the floodgates, and she'd ramble endlessly.
All he needed was a nod here and there.
"Here's your food."
Slurp—!
Juyeon-woo stared at Han-seol. He chuckled watching her dive right into the pho the second it arrived.
Having to babysit her every step of the way was kinda amusing.
Bzzz—!
His smartphone vibrated. Juyeon-woo knew who it was without looking.
He was an NTR manga expert, after all. Only one person would message at this exact timing.
"Tasty?"
"Yeah, it's good. Didn't expect much coming in, but it's surprisingly amazing. Try some, Yeon-woo."
Did this girl even know? That her boyfriend was doomed to get summoned by Geum Tae-yeon soon.
That he'd be sucking on her tits instead of pho and moaning how good it was.
"So good!"
"You must've been starving."
"Honestly? Hehe, slept in late and skipped breakfast."
"Timing was awkward, huh? Why not just eat breakfast and do lunch after the movie then?"
"Ah!?"
They finished lunch right on cue and got up. Dutch pay, naturally.
Juyeon-woo paid his share and held out his debit card to the still-standing Han-seol, who looked lost.
Then he pulled out his phone to check the message.
[Geum Tae-yeon] — Where r u?
A nude pic of Juyeon-woo and the message. He had no choice but to tell her his location.
