What We Want
Min-ah was far more attractive than Tae-min had imagined.
She was a virgin with a pure appearance and an alluring figure.
The only reason Tae-min had approached her was that.
'But she's still a female. Let's see if she can resist with someone like me in front of her.'
After the semester started, Tae-min followed her around by stealing her schedule, driven by his arrogance.
She was a cold woman who didn't want to be noticed by him.
Among the women he'd experienced so far, there were only two.
Tae-min's older sister, Eun-ha.
And Min-ah, the freshman.
Up until then, Tae-min had always been surrounded by women.
- Oppa~ What are you doing?
- Oppa!! Can you help me with this?
- Oppa is so handsome. Just looking at you is fun.
It was all thanks to his superior looks.
His face better than any idol, with a perfect body ratio from his small head.
Plus good manners that looked good on the surface.
Women fell for him at first sight.
In his mind, women were simple, foolish animals.
The women who would run towards him like moths to a flame without thinking if he gave them a little care.
'Pathetic.'
The more experience he had with women, the more his mind saw them not as individual personalities but as tools for his lust, nothing more or less.
Everything was better when new.
Anything that had been with another man was dirty.
Tae-min could choose the best prey and eat it.
'If I can choose what to eat, I should eat the new one.'
That's why Tae-min started choosing the most attractive virgin among the freshmen to eat.
But the first woman he wanted to eat but couldn't was...
"What are you thinking?"
Min-ah's question.
Tae-min snapped out of it.
Tae-min had brought the reluctant Min-ah to an expensive Italian restaurant.
'What... was I thinking about?'
Tae-min was falling for her.
He had been staring at her when a thought crossed his mind.
"Ah... no. Just because she's pretty."
"Thank you. But between senior and junior, that was a bit too much, don't you think?"
Min-ah replied to Tae-min in a dry tone.
It was a very direct rejection.
It was gentle, but it stung like a needle to Tae-min.
'She doesn't give an inch.'
Feeling his throat burn, Tae-min picked up the water glass and gulped it down.
"Ah... no! I was just saying that you're an outstanding junior! I was thinking of you as just a cute junior!"
"Then that's good. Senior."
"Food's here."
The ordered pasta had arrived.
Min-ah had Bolognese spaghetti with tomato sauce and ground beef.
Tae-min had olive oil pasta.
"Thank you for the meal, senior."
"Yeah, hope it suits your taste."
"Since it's a place recommended by the senior, it must be delicious."
Min-ah's tone was calm.
There was no hint of trying to impress Tae-min.
Min-ah twirled the spaghetti on her spoon and put it in her mouth.
Watching the noodle clump disappear into her plump lips, Tae-min felt a strange thrill.
"Ah, it's delicious. As expected, the senior knows good places."
The slight smile on her face made Tae-min feel very happy.
"Yeah? Glad you like it. I'm glad my junior likes it. I couldn't be happier."
"Hehe, next time introduce me to other restaurants too."
"Ah... okay. If it's for my cute junior, I can do anything."
"Thank you so much, senior."
Looking at the slight smile on Min-ah's face, dopamine flooded Tae-min's mind and he felt a surge of happiness.
Tae-min was confused.
He hadn't hugged her, hadn't taken her virginity.
Yet in this ordinary conversation, why was he so happy?
[Tae-min, how is it? Tasty?]
Suddenly, his sister's smiling face appeared in his mind.
The good feeling vanished instantly.
To Tae-min, Eun-ha was the worst existence.
The woman who stole all the love he should have received from his father.
The woman who pretended to help him but used him to impress his father.
The woman who seduced his father with her body.
And the flower snake who eventually took his father's money.
[Are you crazy? We're siblings.]
'She fell for my act of trying to seduce my father... thinking I was being nice to her.'
[You've been looking at me like that all this time? I'm disappointed... really disappointed.]
The worst day for Tae-min himself.
The day he had confessed to his sister Eun-ha that he liked her, thinking she misunderstood.
Tae-min's mood became incredibly dirty.
"Senior, why do you look like that? You don't look well."
Tae-min's face brightened for a moment because of Min-ah's concern.
But it was because seeing Min-ah made his mood better.
"Ah... no! Nothing! Let's eat... let's eat!"
"Glad to hear that."
Tae-min erased the stray thoughts in his head.
He decided to think only about the present.
Only the happy present.
Only the time with Min-ah.
****
Min-ah had dinner with Tae-min.
She had trapped him within her own boundaries and drawn a line.
It was successful.
She was actually tense because he was Eun-ha's younger brother, whom she thought was amazing.
But he turned out to be much easier than she expected.
Of course, it was harder than other men.
But she could handle him with a little care, confident she could treat him like other men.
After the rest of the classes, she went to the student council president, Eun-ha.
"How was Tae-min?"
Eun-ha threw out a subtle remark that she knew everything.
"You know about meeting him."
"If it was Tae-min, he must have been desperate to do something with you."
"Then, to get to the point, it's going as you wanted. Tae-min senior seems to be completely hooked on me."
Eun-ha nodded.
Indeed, Min-ah was amazing.
Tae-min was not an easy opponent.
Especially with women, his charm made it hard to have rational conversations.
But Min-ah was different.
She was dealing with him thoroughly rationally.
She could control him without dating him.
Min-ah would do it well even without Eun-ha telling her.
She had a little worry, but it was unfounded.
"Tae-min's charm is quite significant, so I was a bit worried."
"I have someone I like separately."
Eun-ha's eyes widened then narrowed.
Min-ah's very bold demeanor.
She intuitively sensed that the person Min-ah liked was someone she had liked for a long time.
'What kind of man does this tomboy like?'
The president was suddenly curious.
"If it's not rude, could I ask who the person you like is?"
Min-ah smiled slightly.
"I haven't confessed yet. When I become a couple, I'll tell the president first."
"You're a strong woman, curious who the man you like is."
"You might be surprised. He's really a wonderful person."
From Min-ah's words, Eun-ha felt he was an older man.
'Why am I so curious?'
She was about to ask more, but gave up.
'Why am I like this?'
Eun-ha, who never intruded on privacy, found this situation a bit embarrassing.
She did like Min-ah.
But she wanted to know who she liked.
Even after thinking, it was absurd.
"President. Can I learn the self-defense technique you taught me last time?"
"Ah, right. Yeah. I'll teach you right now. Do you have time?"
Min-ah checked the time.
4 PM.
It was a bit early for dinner with dad.
"About an hour is fine."
"Enough for that."
Whoosh.
Eun-ha threw a rolled-up gi at Min-ah.
"There's a jujutsu gym nearby. I'll lend you my gi, let's practice."
"Yes, President."
"And call me senior, right?"
Min-ah looked slightly startled.
"Ah... sorry."
She was an immature girl who looked perfect but hadn't fully learned social graces.
Eun-ha smiled.
"I like it when you do what the senior says. It looks like you're ignoring yourself if you don't."
"I will remember. Senior."
"Then, one more thing."
"?"
"From now on, call me unnie."
"...Ah......"
Min-ah looked slightly startled.
The spoiled only child showed clearly.
A girl without an older sister or brother.
So calling her unnie felt awkward.
"What did I say?"
"Ah... I... I will do what the senior says... "
"Then call me."
"I will... unnie."
"You sound stiff."
"Ah... sorry... I'll try hard..."
Min-ah's flustered expression made Eun-ha chuckle.
"Let's go. You'll learn quickly if it's you."
"Yes... President... no, unnie."
"Yeah, good. Well done."
The two women left the room.
****
After work, she came home.
'Another exhausting day.'
The work at the hospital in the morning was sufficiently shocking.
Receiving a blowjob in the hospital...
If discovered, it would have been a big problem.
But luckily, it went well.
I don't know how she handled the whole day of consultations.
A dazed feeling persisted, and the only thought in her head was Baek Ah-rin.
She was the only one filling her mind.
That's why she almost made a mistake in treatment.
'Is this... love?'
Baek Ah-rin.
A good woman.
But.
There were two things that bothered her.
The age difference was large.
She was an old divorced man with a child.
She was a young virgin in her 30s.
And she didn't like daughters.
But gradually, the mental barrier was being lifted.
Ah-rin didn't see the age difference as a problem.
Her painful past... divorce, she rather liked.
She said she could date her.
Then, what remained for them was one thing.
'How to convince the daughter.'
Ah-rin said she had a way.
But she didn't know what the method was.
Ah-rin would be a good mother to Min-ah.
Then, we could revive the happy family I had dreamed of.
- Ding dong -
The doorbell rang.
6:30 PM.
Min-ah seemed to have come a bit early.
'She said she would come late... is there something wrong?'
I went to the front door.
"Why are you so early? Nothing happened, right?"
I opened the door, sure it was Min-ah.
Only the daughter would ring the doorbell at this time.
"Ta-da! Wrong!"
"Eh...?"
In front of my eyes was Baek Ah-rin in casual clothes, holding a bag full of food ingredients with both hands, smiling.
"I'm not the daughter. It's Ah-rin, right?"
Full of smiles.
Ah-rin had come to our house without notice.
