Chapter Title: Siblings' Laundry
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Geumbi sis pinned me down on the bed, thrusting against me like she was pounding the wall.
I could've pushed her off if I'd really tried, but it felt wrong to use force against my own sister.
The door was locked, so expecting help from anyone was out of the question.
In other words, there was no escaping Geumbi sis's face as it drew closer.
All I could do—my utmost act of resistance—was turn my head to the side, just like last time, to prevent another mishap.
"...Hey, Jigu Yang."
"Y-Yeah?"
"What are you thinking right now? Why are you blushing and turning your head away?"
"Huh? No, ugh... s-sorry."
Oh no, what had I just done?
Every time my face got close to Geumbi sis's, the same thing happened, and my body moved on instinct before I could stop it.
"You think I called you here to do something to you? This is just...!"
"Ow!"
Bonk. Geumbi sis headbutted my forehead.
It stung, but it shook me back to my senses a little. With a fierce glare, she launched into her interrogation.
"I'm only calling you out because things between you and Sujeong sis seem suspicious."
"S-Suspicious? What do you mean?"
"Don't play dumb. What was that attitude in the kitchen earlier?"
"What attitude?"
"Sis was blatantly favoring you. Serving you food herself, asking if it was tasty, saying she'd let you taste-test first next time, adjusting the portions just for you!"
"Well... Sujeong sis handles all the cooking at home. I eat a ton as a guy, so she's just paying extra attention to me."
"No. That wasn't just normal sisterly concern."
I responded to Geumbi sis's accusations as calmly as I could, but there was nothing I could do about my body's reactions.
"The way you two looked at each other was so tender."
"T-Tender? We're just sister and brother..."
"Just sister and brother? Do normal families feel the need to emphasize that?"
"Ugh...! I meant we're all just a normal family..."
"Normal? Why keep stressing 'normal'? Like you're hiding something not normal?"
"Huh?!"
At this point, it felt like she knew everything and was just digging for confirmation.
Geumbi sis was zeroing in on every dangerous detail with razor-sharp precision that went beyond mere perceptiveness.
'No way... nah, impossible. It was just last night—no way she figured it out.'
I tried to convince myself, but I still swallowed hard.
Only then did I realize she was drawing more confidence from my every twitch.
"You look super guilty. Swallowing saliva you weren't even producing before."
"Uh, th-that... the egg from earlier got stuck a bit..."
"Didn't you say it melted smoothly in your mouth?"
"Because it melted... so I could swallow it with my saliva."
"Hmm~ Is that so? So you devoured it that deliciously?"
"Mm."
"Sujeong sis?"
"Yeah... wait, what? No, what are you talking about, Geumbi sis?!"
"Sorry, my words slipped. You meant the food made by Sujeong sis, right?"
"Y-Yeah, that's what I meant..."
Was that really just a slip?
Denying it right away with surprise seemed like the right move. Otherwise, that lightly clenched fist might've flown straight at my face.
'She suspects something, but not 100% convinced. Still, that last remark makes me worry just how far her suspicions go...'
It felt like she was imagining something even worse than what actually happened.
Maybe I should just confess honestly right now... nah, no way. Everything from one to ten was impossible to reveal.
I'd run into Sujeong sis naked in the changing room.
And for my sake, she'd hugged me—topless, not even wearing a bra.
I couldn't hold back in the end, spun her around from behind, and came right below her navel.
'...Yeah, absolutely never telling. This stays a lifetime secret.'
Even with Hwayeon, which was a total accident, the house had been in an uproar.
But this? Mutual, deliberate, between siblings?
Beyond contempt or scolding, one of us could've been kicked out. And odds were high it'd be me.
Despite Geumbi sis's prodding, I had no choice but to keep swallowing the saliva pooling in my mouth.
With every gulp, her eyes narrowed further, and I felt the hand on my cheek slowly sliding upward.
"S-Sis...?"
"Jigu, you've got some serious dark circles."
"Y-Yeah. Truth is, I didn't sleep great last night..."
"Sis had really dark shadows under her eyes too."
"Huh?"
"Weird, huh? Siblings having sleepless nights on the exact same day? Especially if you're sharing a bed."
"C-Coincidence... that could happen, right?"
"You two look like people who snuck out in the middle of the night behind my back."
"Ugh...!"
Geumbi sis's finger pressed just below my eye, right on my cheekbone.
I hadn't realized it, but that spot hurt like hell when someone poked it. If I hadn't been clenching my mouth from all the swallowing, I'd have screamed outright.
"Hey, Jigu."
"Y-Yes... sis."
"Truth is, I woke up briefly last night."
"Huh? What?"
"You and sis took forever to come back to the room. What were you doing out there? Tell me, okay?"
Not just Sujeong sis—even Geumbi sis had opened her eyes?
Was that why she was so convinced and coming at me like this?
'Crap, what do I do? Give up and confess everything...? No, that's impossible—I need some kind of excuse...'
My brain wasn't turning over right.
My eyes just darted wildly under her grip, my lips parting and closing uselessly on repeat.
But her hold on me only tightened.
In the end, I surrendered partially, spilling as much truth as I could manage.
"Truth is, yesterday... I got caught jerking off by Sujeong sis."
"Huh?!"
"In the changing room. That's why we talked outside and came back late."
"...What did you talk about with sis?"
"Y'know, guy stuff—unavoidable worries. But I swear, I didn't do anything weird to Sujeong sis! Really."
"...If you were in the middle of jerking off, you'd have been buck naked. And nothing happened?"
"I threw a towel on right away and covered up down there..."
It wasn't a complete lie.
I had been caught by Sujeong sis in the changing room, we did talk, and I definitely kept the bottom covered tight.
'Just... one weird thing did happen.'
I'd stayed as still as possible, but in the final moment, I'd spun around and dirtied sis's pants.
That much, I couldn't say. Holding my breath, I waited for Geumbi sis's reaction—
"Jigu."
"Y-Yes."
"Actually... I lied to you."
"Huh? What about?"
"I slept like a rock last night. Didn't wake up even once."
"What? No way... huh?!"
I'd been had.
Thinking back, when I left the room and when I returned, Geumbi sis hadn't budged from her sleeping position.
I'd spilled everything on my own volition, and now Geumbi sis slowly lowered her gaze to my lower half.
"So why do you think I got suspicious over something as small as the kitchen incident?"
"Uh... my usual behavior? Not trustworthy?"
"That's part of it."
"Recently, Sujeong sis mentioned... I might be adopted?"
"That's part of it too."
"Hmm, anything else... no idea."
"Hmm~ Really? You don't know~?"
"Ack, sis?! H-Hand, that's...!"
Had Geumbi sis finally lost it?
The hand that had been stroking my cheek trailed down my jaw, the nape of my neck, my collarbone, my solar plexus.
It circled my navel, then suddenly covered everything below.
My groin.
The spot where my crotch sat.
"Jigu, remember... what we did here last time?"
"Y-Yeah, I remember. How could I forget?"
Geumbi sis softly cupped my groin on the bed just like back then, flashing a sly smile as she whispered.
"Didn't notice right away... but while I was waiting for you to shower, I caught a whiff of something."
"My... smell?"
"Kinda... fishy, sticky, like night-blooming flowers?"
"Ugh?! That's... sis?"
I had no idea why she was bringing that up now or embarrassing me with the past.
Not until her lips brushed my ear and she murmured one final line.
"It was exactly like the smell on Sujeong sis's pants."
"......!"
I'd forgotten.
In our house, the five siblings split the chores.
And the laundry—washing and sorting it all—fell entirely to Geumbi sis.
"Right when I got up in the morning to run the washer, one item in the hamper was soaking wet."
"Ugh."
"Pulled it out—Sujeong sis's pants. Looked like someone had tried rinsing it with water, which was weird."
"Ughh."
"Then I noticed a familiar scent while holding it... got close, and right in the middle—that smell."
"Ack, wait, Geumbi sis... actually, that was...!"
"Weird, right? You said you got caught jerking in the changing room by Sujeong sis, nothing happened. So why was that smell on her pants?"
"......Agh. H-Hand! It hurts, sis...!"
The moment I stopped answering, her grip shifted from gentle to crushing.
Geumbi sis tucked away her brief smile, her eyes blazing as she glared down at me.
"You two snuck out last night, took forever to come back, nothing happened in the changing room? Then what the hell was on those pants?"
"I swear, I really didn't do... anything."
"So the smell just appeared on its own? Spontaneous generation? Natural air freshener?"
"It wasn't... completely nothing, but... ugh."
"Jigu, I'm seriously curious. What the hell happened between you two... for the guy who stained sis's pants to be chummy with her the next day?!"
Geumbi sis ground her teeth, squeezing my groin even harder at the same time.
Her fist clenched around my shaft like a vice, and I bit my lip, pleading with her.
"I-I'll explain. I'll tell you everything, so calm down a bit...!"
"No need. I told you—I'd let your body answer. If I pull it out once, I can check if the smell I remember is spot on!"
"No, sis, that's too much... ack. Urghh."
Geumbi sis had already pinned my thigh firm with her knee.
With my groin taken hostage, resistance was impossible.
To keep things from escalating further, I clamped my mouth shut, trying to stifle even my groans.
But seeing that, Geumbi sis smirked like her last worry had vanished, and she started sliding downward.
