Sunbae's Mine
Min-ah bolted upright in bed.
"Hahk...!"
"What...?"
It was night. Beyond the window, nothing was visible except the faint wash of waves. The room was empty. Only the soft indirect lighting along the floor offered a dim suggestion of the space around her.
"Ugh...!"
Her stomach lurched without warning, something surging up from deep inside.
I... I can't hold it...!
Min-ah threw herself out of bed. Whether from the haste or the alcohol still swimming in her system, her foot slipped and she tumbled off the mattress.
"Ah...!"
Her instep caught on the frame. She went down hard, her head slamming into the carpet below.
"Ugh...!"
She barely managed to hold back the vomit climbing her throat.
I am not throwing up on the floor. Absolutely not.
She held on through sheer spite and willpower, then practically crawled to the bathroom. Her insides burned as if they were on fire. Every movement sent her head spinning. Her whole body throbbed as though someone had beaten her senseless.
The first alcohol she had ever drunk in her life. She had taken it far too lightly.
Fu...ck......
This was all Arin. That woman.
It had been a purely empirical assumption. Children take after their fathers. Her father could hold his liquor. Therefore Min-ah had assumed she could too.
A secret she didn't know. Having missed the fact that she wasn't her father's biological child, she had gone head-to-head with Arin in a drinking contest.
The result had been a total defeat.
Min-ah grabbed the toilet. This was a girl who normally wouldn't even touch a toilet lid without a tissue. Right now, she had no choice.
"Huuueeek!!"
Everything she had been holding back came pouring into the bowl. The stomach acid had already come up, but whatever hadn't made it down into her intestines surged back through her mouth, eating away at her esophagus and her teeth.
"Urgh! Huuueeek!"
She hadn't eaten much, and yet so much was coming out.
"Hah... it hurts... hah...... ugh!"
She thought she had emptied everything. It kept coming. It went on for a long time.
"Hah... hah... hah......"
She was a wreck. A state she didn't even want to put into words. Fortunately, the dress she'd been wearing had been taken off, and she was in a robe instead. She shrugged it off and stepped into the shower.
Shhhhhh.
Every movement made her body ache. She couldn't stop washing.
Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty.
The only thing driving her uncooperative body was Min-ah's compulsion to wash the filth away. She pumped body wash over herself again and again, scrubbing every inch.
"Hahh......"
Washing helped. Her body started to listen a little. Throwing up seemed to have made her feel better. She was thirsty. Still naked, she pulled a bottle of water from the fridge and drank.
"Ugh?!"
Thinking she was better had been a mistake. Her stomach wouldn't even accept water. She threw it right back up, and had to shower all over again.
"Hahk...!"
She collapsed onto the bed without putting anything on. The cold water had cleared her head a little.
Boom! Pop-boom!
From beyond the window, where only the sound of waves had been, something was exploding. Enormous bursts of color began to embroider the black sky in spectacular fashion.
"Fire...works......"
The film of her memory, cut short by the alcohol. Min-ah tried to gather whatever fragments remained. One of those shards was the fireworks.
"There were... fireworks. Someone said that."
Let's go watch the fireworks together.
That much, she remembered.
"Then... the reason no one's here......"
She sat bolt upright. Her mind snapped into focus.
"Hnnngh...!"
A clear head didn't mean a cooperative body. Hers still refused to listen.
"I have to... go out there......"
Min-ah's teeth ground together.
Defeat.
Her own complete and utter defeat. Arin was a formidable woman. Even when Min-ah had provoked her in that sexy outfit, Arin's expression hadn't so much as flickered. Challenging her to drink had been a massive mistake. Because Dad could hold his liquor, Min-ah had assumed she could too. She couldn't.
God... what the hell did I even say to that woman?
That was her biggest fear. What she'd said in the stretch of time her memory had gone dark.
There's no way... I didn't tell her how I really feel, right?
Min-ah looked around the room. Everything was still unpacked, just as they'd left it. If she had spilled her true feelings, the atmosphere in here wouldn't be like this. They wouldn't have left her behind and gone out.
Boom! Pop-boom!
Right...... they said... let's go watch those......
Apparently Dad and Arin had gone to see the fireworks, leaving her passed out.
Defeat.
A perfect defeat. Arin had known. She had known full well that Min-ah was in love with her own father. And so when Min-ah had tried to overpower her, Arin had crushed her with the same brute force. Min-ah had lost completely.
"I was... just a kid."
She never stood a chance. Only then did Arin's credentials come back to her. The woman she had written off was a specialist who had graduated from Korea University's medical school. Meanwhile Min-ah, so convinced of her own intelligence, had barely gotten into Korea University off the waitlist — into the department with the lowest cutoff.
"I'm so stupid... so goddamn stupid......"
Min-ah brought both fists down on the blanket.
Thud!
"You stupid bitch!!"
Thud!!
"Damn it!!"
Thud!!
"AAAAAAHHH!!!!!"
She screamed. The fact that she couldn't even redirect her rage at anyone else made it all the more miserable. Every swing of her fists sent pain tearing through her wrecked body. She was half a step away from losing the father she loved to a woman about to turn forty.
"If it comes to this... if it comes to this......"
Cornered, Min-ah's mind began to turn toward something she absolutely should not do.
Boom!
Pop-boom!
Outside the window, a vast and beautiful burst of purple embroidered the black sky.
A little before the fireworks started, Arin and I had come out to the beach to claim a good spot. Being an expensive hotel, there weren't that many guests. People sat scattered across the sand watching the show, so privacy was more or less guaranteed.
Boom! Pop-boom!
The fireworks began. True to a show planned by an expensive hotel, they were enormous and beautiful.
"Wow... they're gorgeous."
"It would've been nice if Min-ah had come out with us."
Arin sounded genuinely disappointed. That's right — she had actually tried to bring Min-ah along until the very end.
That was what she'd said. But Min-ah hadn't been in any condition.
"I'm sorry, sunbae... I thought since you can hold your liquor, Min-ah would be able to too......"
"Haha... that happens."
I had a secret of my own, so all I could do was smile bitterly. What would Arin think if she knew Min-ah wasn't my blood?
"Ahh, this is nice."
The sea breeze was still cold, but it wasn't the kind of cold that cut to the bone like winter. A pleasant chill.
"Yeah."
Boom. Pop-boom.
Red and yellow fireworks burst, overlapping. For a moment, they looked like a heart.
"Beautiful."
"It would've been nice if Min-ah could see this with us."
Arin nestled into my arms. Her warm, soft body sent heat rising through me. It felt good. But I was worried, too. At the drinking table, Min-ah had clearly been on guard against Arin.
"Min-ah... do you think she'll be okay?"
"What are you so worried about?"
Arin looked up at me. Not a trace of worry on that lovely face.
"Ah... no... I was just a little concerned......"
"If it's Min-ah, you don't need to worry."
"R-really?"
"I think the loss of her mother when she was little is coming out as an attachment to her father."
Something in my chest sank with a dull thud. For a moment, the back of my neck went ice-cold.
"But don't worry. She's a smart kid, and she's considerate, so......"
She squeezed my arm again.
"I'm sure she'll understand. About us."
I took her hand in mine.
"She will, right? Yeah... she will."
"You saw it too, sunbae."
"Saw what?"
"Min-ah promising to help our love along."
I'd figured Min-ah had said that because she was too drunk to know what she was saying. But Arin believed it. That it had been my daughter's true feelings.
"Yeah..."
"Sunbae."
"Hmm?"
Her lips covered mine.
"I've... wanted this."
"Mmh... hah... m-me too......"
"We couldn't, because Min-ah was there......"
Her hand slipped into my pants. The moment her cold fingers wrapped around my already-hardening cock, it surged upward as if she'd poured coolant over an overheating engine, straining wildly toward the sky.
"Min-ah... were you serious about wishing she'd come with us?"
"It might've been... a little bit of a lie."
My pants came undone. There was no one around but us. While everyone else watched from the beach, we'd settled in a somewhat secluded cluster of pine trees. The pines blocked the view, and pinecones and needles littered the ground, making it a poor place to sit — which meant nobody else was there. Which made it the perfect spot for a secret tryst.
Arin's head moved down to my groin. The same soft, plump tongue that had been devouring my lips now began to take me in, swallowing my cock with a gentle, practiced ease.
"Mmph... mmphhh......."
"Ahh... Arin... here... if someone... catches us......"
She gripped my waist hard. In an instant, the head of my cock was at the back of her throat. The sharp tang of gastric fluid at the tip made my whole body shudder.
That's right. Getting caught wasn't even a consideration for her.
Me. Arin. Min-ah.
The three of us had come on this trip together, so I'd thought nothing like this would happen. And yet here it was — a tryst beginning behind the cover of the roaring fireworks.
