A Room with One Bed
"If you don't want to, just say so. I haven't canceled yet."
"……."
The final stage of an adult couple's date. Sex. Or rather, a motel. As a lifelong virgin, that's how I saw it. Of course, I'd heard from the popular kids back in high school that it didn't always go that way, but still.
"We've already made the reservation, so let's just watch the drone show and decide after."
"What if there's no room left at the motel later?"
"Then we'll go anyway…."
"You might not want to by then."
"……Then should we book the motel too?"
"We should. Even if there's a cancellation fee, it's better than having no choice."
"True…."
In the end, I booked a nearby motel as well. Just like noona said, there was only one room left. If we'd been any later, we would've had to head straight back to Seoul. …If we went back, we went back, so why did I feel a pang of disappointment? It's not like anything was going to happen just because we went to a motel.
[The drone show will begin at 8:30 p.m. tonight. Spectators, please proceed with caution….]
"Where did all these people come from all of a sudden?"
"Let's grab a spot quickly."
Once the announcement played, barricades went up along the beach to keep out the general public. People in uniforms filed in and started setting things up. What looked like drones were laid out across a white stage.
"I'm excited."
"Have you ever seen a drone show before, Jiyun?"
"I saw drones being used for grave maintenance in the military."
I'd watched the drone unit during their later training. The instructor's drone piloting had been pretty impressive.
"That corner over there should have a better view."
"Yeah."
I followed noona toward a darker, more secluded part of the beach where the lights didn't reach. There were noticeably fewer people, probably because of the lack of illumination. The downside was that we might get crawled on by invisible mudflat creatures, but it was still better than being in a crowd.
[The drone show will begin shortly. Please pay close attention to your safety….]
I couldn't see them yet, but the brighter area seemed to grow even brighter. Since this was my first drone show, my own anticipation was high.
"Whoa! They're flying!"
The drones rose into the air accompanied by grand BGM. Maybe because they were machines, their synchronized movements and the colorful lights they displayed created a different kind of grandeur from fireworks. Even noona, who had been so excited, soon stared in silent awe.
"Wow…."
"Chuuup…."
"…?"
Just as I was thinking how lucky we were to have come to this dark spot for a clearer view, I heard an out-of-place sound. It definitely wasn't coming from between us.
"Waaah…."
"Chup. Chuuop…."
Fortunately, noona still seemed absorbed in the show. While she was distracted, I quickly scanned our surroundings.
'Found them.'
Deeper in the shadows were the silhouettes of a man and a woman. One wore a thin cardigan, and the larger person was holding the cardigan-wearer in an embrace. They were clearly a couple, their heads pressed together.
"……."
Normally I would've complained about people coming all the way out here just to make out, but instead I silently looked at noona. Their height difference was similar to ours. From this angle, it really did look romantic. No, it couldn't help but look romantic.
"What?"
"…Nothing."
While I was staring blankly at noona, our eyes met. She playfully swatted at me and smiled prettily. Hold it in. Hold it in. It's noona.
"Waaah…."
When the drone show ended, applause broke out from all around. Noona and I clapped lightly along with everyone else. People began streaming out like a receding tide, and the once-noisy area fell silent in an instant.
"……."
"……."
Noona and I also started walking toward the station without a word. No matter how much fun we'd had, fatigue always hit once everything was over.
What do I do….
A perfectly normal KTX ride versus a not-so-normal night at a motel. My heart was already made up, but my rational side was still desperately trying to argue.
"Hwaaam…."
"Sleepy?"
"Mm. Sleepy."
"Busan people think saying you're sleepy is cute."
"Then what do they say?"
"'I'm getting sleepy,' I think? Something like that."
"I'm sleepy."
"…Was that cute?"
"You figure it out."
"……."
We both stopped just before entering the station. There were more people than expected. Some were heading home, others probably catching the train back to Seoul.
"I'm really sleepy."
"Correct…!"
"Then──"
As if on cue, my phone rang. It was Mom.
"Hey, Mom."
[Where are you?]
"I'm in Busan with noona."
[Busan?! All of a sudden?!]
"Noona wanted to go, so… it just happened."
[When are you coming back?!]
Mom sounded pretty shocked. Maybe we should just head back tonight for her sake──
"Who is it?"
"Mom."
"Give it here. Hey, Mom~"
I handed the phone to noona. Thank god. I'd been struggling to answer the "when are you coming back" question.
"Huh? Yeah. Why? Ah~ Right. That makes sense. Got it~ No~ You don't have to send us off~ See you tomorrow~"
"…?"
Tomorrow? See you tomorrow? I didn't mishear that, right?
"What'd she say?"
I asked noona, hiding my panic.
"Ah~ I told her we'd booked the train, but since we'd get in after 3 a.m. anyway, we should just sleep here and come back tomorrow morning."
"Ah."
That meant I was… spending the night in the same room as noona?
♠
"First time at a motel?"
"Yeah."
I'd imagined motels would be gloomy, but once the lights were on, it was surprisingly bright, just like noona's room. As expected, there was only one bed.
"Well~ It's not like you'd have any reason to come to a motel."
"Have you been to one before?"
"O-of course I have~ What do you take this noona for… haha…."
"Right."
Yeah, it would've been weirder if someone with noona's looks had never been. And she wouldn't have any reason to lie to me. She'd probably done all sorts of things at motels before. So she'd probably masturbated at home too. It was obvious, so why did imagining it make me feel like I shouldn't?
I was starting to regret coming.
"Whoa. This motel has OTT too?"
"Are there places without OTT these days?"
"Ah, no~ I'd just never been to one before…."
"Must've been a really sketchy place."
Even back in the day, I was pretty sure adult channels or regular TV channels had been available, if not OTT.
"I'll shower first~"
"Ah… okay."
Noona went into the bathroom. She hadn't even taken her clothes off, which made me imagine her body for no reason. The image from earlier in the day came flooding back.
Wait….
No, it was happening right in front of me. Through the frosted bathroom wall, I could see skin tones instead of black and white. The equipment that had been protecting noona was coming off one piece at a time, revealing clear, seductive curves.
I have to hold it together.
If I made even one mistake here, forget being the head moderator of the Incest Gallery. It would all be over. I had to stay calm and get through tonight safely.
"Jiyun!"
"What?"
"There aren't any toothbrushes in here, so call the front desk."
"Hang on."
I was about to call the desk when I noticed a zippered pouch next to the phone.
"So this is it…."
It was an amenity kit with various disposable and travel items. It contained toothbrushes and other single-use products. I'd only ever seen them in stories before, but seeing one in real life made it sink in that I was actually at a motel. …Why hadn't noona known about this? Had she really been to motels before?
"Here."
"Thanks~"
"……."
When I cracked the door open to hand her just the toothbrush, something was exchanged in return. It was the blouse and skirt-pants noona had been wearing.
"……."
I could feel the warmth and moisture at the same time. It made sense since she'd been wearing them all day, but that wasn't the problem right now.
Shhhhh-
The sound of the shower followed right after. Noona had no idea what situation I was in.
This is bad….
Ah. I shouldn't be doing this. There was no demon in my heart or anything, but… my body was moving on its own…!
"Hiss…."
With my dick standing at full attention, I took a deep breath. I really shouldn't be doing this. It wasn't as bad as stealing panties, but it was close. Still, I couldn't stop.
"Haa…."
Dopamine surged like I'd been drugged. The smell of sweat mixed with a woman's scent. It was a happy smell. Goosebumps spread across my entire body. Even though noona could come out at any moment, I couldn't stop.
"Hiss… haa…."
I could feel my blood pressure rising, my face turning bright red. The extreme tension was releasing adrenaline, making everything around me seem to move in slow motion.
I need to fold these quickly….
Still caught in the lingering euphoria, I neatly folded noona's clothes and placed them in a corner of the bed.
There's even a razor.
While organizing the amenity kit to shake off the temptation, a razor came out, along with soap and some cotton-like thing I'd never seen before. And the most important item.
First time seeing one.
Condoms, an essential motel item. This was the first time I'd seen one up close since health class. Should I sneak one out? Or put it back? Reason and instinct started fighting again.
Sigh.
This was making me feel like a weirdo. What was I going to do if I took out a condom? Ask noona to show me how to use it? Forget it. I had to stop here. I didn't want to become the protagonist of an incest story like that panty-stealing noona. No. Maybe I did.
"Jiyun~"
"You done showering?"
"Yeah. I finished, but could you get me a towel and robe~"
"Ah… okay."
I took a towel from the towel bag next to the bathroom. The robe was also towel-style. Once again, I handed them through the crack in the door.
"Huu~"
"Water pressure okay?"
"Of course it's good."
"Yeah."
Unlike noona, I made sure to gather everything I needed before going into the bathroom. I couldn't exactly call her out in this state.
The towel's all wet….
I'd planned to hang my clothes, but I had no choice but to leave the ones I'd worn outside. I should've brought spare clothes. Feeling bad about calling noona, I quietly opened the door a crack and tossed them in.
…Shit.
This was really bad. Showing her my erect dick was absolutely not an option. Even if she was the head moderator of the Incest Gallery, she might look at me with disgust if she actually saw her little brother's hard-on.
"Haa…."
With the water running, I jerked off for the first time using my imagination. I really hadn't expected a day like this to come. Since the water was on, it probably wouldn't be obvious.
"Huu."
Once I got it out of my system, a sense of peace settled over me. As long as noona didn't deliberately show me anything, I'd be safe for a while. She wouldn't suspect I was late because of this, right?
"Showering feels nice."
"…?!"
When I came out after getting dressed, my clothes were neatly folded next to noona's. She was flipping through OTT options on the TV. Had my sweat smell really been that strong? What was this scent? It definitely wasn't the air conditioner. It felt familiar somehow.
"It was hot, so I turned on the AC. Good call, right?"
"Yeah. Good call…."
The moment I sat on the bed, I noticed the condom on the side table. Noona must've seen it too.
"Haa…."
"The bed's pretty soft, huh?"
"Yeah…."
"……."
"……."
"What do you want to watch?"
"Whatever noona wants."
"Okay."
Noona seemed to have a movie in mind already and put one on right away. But before long, I just lay down, and eventually noona lay down too while watching.
"Let's turn it off."
"Yeah."
The TV went off. So did the room lights. Only silence flowed between us.
"Jiyun."
"Yeah."
"Asleep?"
"I wouldn't have answered if I was."
"…True."
Noona scooted closer to me. I scooted closer to her too. The scent of body wash and shampoo tickled my nose. It was warm, but also pleasantly cool.
"Today was really fun, wasn't it?"
"Yeah."
Noona had her back to me, pressed against me. I turned toward her as well. The shampoo scent grew stronger.
Ah, my ears and heart hurt….
The only sound I could hear was one thing. My own heartbeat──
"Huh? What's this?"
"…!"
Fuck. I'm screwed.
