The Awkward First Meeting
I let out a long breath. Hoo…
Wait, it’s actually racing…? What do I do? The plan to bring Jiyun on as a sub-mod had succeeded, but… why wasn’t she replying—
A reply finally came from Jiyun.
I responded in the cutest way possible, trying not to sound like myself. What the hell? Why is she so adorable?
But that only lasted a moment. Her tone quickly returned to its usual stiff formality. Did pretending to be cute backfire? Maybe she didn’t like it.
…What if we can’t even meet?
A sudden wave of anxiety washed over me. Jiyun still hadn’t brought up dinner. Was she just going to let it slide? Should I mention it first? But I was scared she’d think I was some kind of obsessive weirdo if I did. These days, meeting up with a stranger takes real courage.
Of course, I already knew it was Jiyun. She still had no idea it was me.
“Ugh… huh?”
Just as I was agonizing over whether to send the first message, my phone buzzed.
“…!”
It came. Phew… thank god. Jiyun brought it up first. So she really was interested in the meal after all.
“……”
Waiting for her next reply was starting to make me sleepy. I wished she’d answer faster.
“Zzz…”
“Hey. Go sleep in your room.”
“Huh…? Okay.”
I must have dozed off for a second. Whew. If Mom hadn’t woken me, I would’ve slept straight through until morning.
I finished the message I’d been typing and sent it. I really needed to decide quickly so I could sleep.
Phew. I thought she might just ask for a gift card, but she actually agreed to meet. Is that really a good thing, though?
Whoa. It really was past midnight. No wonder I felt so sleepy.
“…!”
I’d suggested tomorrow evening because I was worried Jiyun might be tired. I almost typed that into the log by mistake.
We finally set a time. But… was it really okay to meet? Was it okay to reveal that I was the head moderator to my one and only little sister?
The whole reason I recruited a Pa-ttak was to help manage the gallery. Dragging my sister into this was one thing, but what came after was the real problem. I was the one running this disgusting place.
What if Jiyun looks at me with contempt…?
People tend to despise others who do things society frowns upon. And this wasn’t just perception—it was genuinely harmful to mental health. It warped your sense of right and wrong, just like it had for me. I figured my own sister could handle the experience without issue. That’s why I was so nervous. I was terrified our relationship would crumble.
Sigh…
But if I canceled now, Jiyun would definitely call me out on it, and the whole situation would spiral in a weird direction. Besides, we didn’t live separately. She’d find out eventually.
I wish tomorrow would never come…
Why was I acting like this after I was the one who suggested it? This was all Jiyun’s fault.
Haa…
It was the second day of my life as a Pa-ttak. I’d hoped today would never arrive, but time was cruel. The appointed hour had come.
A dinner date with Ju-ttak—no, with my older sister.
Please, sis. Don’t recognize me. Wait, you have to recognize me so we can eat together.
I couldn’t just ghost her—that would be betraying my position as a sub-mod. But walking in and laying everything on the table felt impossible too. I was stuck in that classic dilemma.
Since we were communicating through private logs, replies were painfully slow. It would’ve been nice if the site had a proper DM function like social media. Then again, we could’ve just called or texted each other normally.
After talking it over with my sister, we’d decided on a burger place. And not just any burger place—an expensive one. I didn’t want to spend my own money there, but if someone else was buying, it was at the top of my list.
“Hoo…”
I stepped off the subway. The tension was overwhelming, like arriving at the training camp for the first time. From this point on, I was walking to my execution. I was about to lay everything bare in front of my sister.
“……”
I spotted her in the distance by the fountain. Haa. She really came. Why didn’t she run away? Well, of course she didn’t—she had no idea it was me.
“Huh?”
She noticed me and started walking over. The closer she got, the more nervous I became. How the hell was I supposed to say it?
“What are you doing here?”
“…I have a meeting.”
“Oh, me too.”
“Really? What a coincidence.”
“Yeah…”
“Haha.”
“Haha…”
I already knew she was Ju-ttak. Should I say something first? That would probably move the conversation along. Even I could admit it would be incredibly embarrassing to openly say you ran a gallery like that. So I couldn’t just come out and say I already knew.
I sent the message first and watched her reaction.
“…?”
She either didn’t feel the vibration or hadn’t come yet. She just stood there, staring blankly. A chill ran down my spine at the thought that maybe she wasn’t here to meet me after all.
What the hell? Why isn’t she checking?
If she was here, she should at least reply or look at her phone. There was zero reaction. Was it really not her…?
“I’m going to run to the bathroom real quick.”
“Okay…”
Bzz.
The reply came the instant she left her spot. So it really was her. It had to be… right?
We’d literally just met by the fountain. Of course I was still here.
“Hoo…”
My sister returned from the bathroom and walked back over, stopping beside me again.
“…Didn’t you say you had a meeting?”
“Yeah. I do.”
“When is the other person supposed to get here?”
“…They said they arrived, but I don’t see them…? Jiyun, didn’t you say you had a meeting too?”
“Yeah. I’m here too, but I don’t see them either.”
Our conversation kept circling the same spot. At this rate, we’d be here all night.
“Whoa, what do we do? The reservation time is now.”
“Where did you make a reservation?”
“That burger place over there.”
“No way. I’m supposed to meet someone at a burger place too.”
“……”
“……”
Our eyes met. Same location. Conflicting messages. Same restaurant. Not a single detail was different.
It all pointed to one conclusion: we were each other’s meeting partner.
“Sis…?”
“Jiyun… you…?”
“…”
“…”
I already knew, but actually saying it out loud was incredibly awkward. It made my skin crawl. Still… I had to do what I had to do. I’d already prepared myself.
“…Hello, I Like Siblings.”
“Ugh…”
My sister’s face turned bright red. I got so embarrassed I had to look away. Maybe using her username was a bad idea. Should I have just called her sis? Though honestly, the username probably wasn’t the real issue here.
“…Ah, hello… JizonMz.”
“……”
Ah. That’s not how you’re supposed to say it.
“……”
“……”
I had just confessed to my sister that I was the kind of disgusting person who ran an incest gallery. Now that the coming-out was over, I actually felt relieved. Of course, the awkwardness afterward was so intense I thought I might die.
“Didn’t you say you were short on time?”
“Right. I did! Let’s go.”
We hurried to the burger restaurant. Following the waiter’s guidance, we sat at a nice-looking table. The high backs of the seats blocked our view of the other tables.
“What do you want to eat?”
“We came here to eat burgers, didn’t we?”
“Oh, right. Of course.”
“……”
“……”
The atmosphere was so awkward it was even affecting our memories. If I knew it would be like this, maybe I should’ve just taken the gift card…
There were two benefits to becoming a Pa-ttak: either receive a gift card, or have dinner with Ju-ttak. Getting the gift card would’ve been the safer, more normal route, but we were bound to be found out eventually anyway.
No, this is exactly why I came out here.
Like they say, it’s better to get the beating over with quickly. It was better to confess before things got so twisted there was no turning back. And I already had.
It was good that my sister hadn’t looked at me with contempt and left… but she seemed to be holding herself back as much as possible.
“Wow. This place is really nice, right?”
“Yeah…”
“……”
“……”
If I had to summarize the current situation in one word, it would be: awkward.
We had never been this awkward with each other before. Not even when she caught me masturbating. This was a first.
“So… sis—”
“Right. We should order.”
“…Yeah.”
She deliberately cut me off and opened the menu. I wanted to say something, but decided to pick the food first.
“…You’re really buying?”
“Of course I’m buying. Why?”
“No, I just… didn’t think you’d actually do it.”
“Obviously. I promised, didn’t I?”
“……”
“……”
She had publicly announced that she would buy a Pa-ttak dinner. Today, we weren’t meeting as older sister and younger brother, but as Ju-ttak and Pa-ttak. For now, I’d just enjoy the moment. The explanations could come after we ate.
“Then…”
I quietly pointed at the most expensive burger on the menu. A 140,000 won masterpiece with 1++ Hanwoo beef patty and sirloin steak.
“What…?”
My sister glared at me fiercely. Would she have glared like that if it had been some other guy? Maybe being her brother made it worse.
“Are you seriously going to order that?”
“……Ah, this one looks tastier.”
Under her piercing stare, I had no choice but to pick a different, still-delicious-looking burger. I’d really wanted to try the expensive one since I was already here.
“Today… no.”
“What?”
“Nothing.”
I couldn’t quite catch what she said. It looked important from the way her face flushed, but I didn’t hear it clearly.
“What are you having, sis?”
“I’ll have this.”
After much deliberation, we ordered the Palm Burger, the Forest Burger, a vanilla shake, parmesan fries, and finally a cola.
“……”
“……”
Once the order was placed, we had nothing left to say. Normally I would’ve responded to her constant chatter, but right now I couldn’t even do that.
But is this okay…?
I was fine with it. When I found out she was the head of the incest gallery, I actually felt relieved. So my sister was just like me—a degenerate. That thought actually made me happy. I didn’t feel even the slightest bit of contempt.
Does sis feel the same about me…?
But the fact that she wasn’t pushing me away felt suspicious. It wasn’t just anyone—it was her own little brother running a shady community like that. Didn’t she find it repulsive? Or maybe because she was the head of that place, she didn’t care?
—Whoa!
The scene I’d witnessed not long ago flashed through my mind. I remembered it clearly, even the moment she reached climax. She never noticed me watching. The shape of her nipples and her pussy were still burned into my retinas.
What if she did it on purpose for me…?
If everything had been planned from the start—if that was the dignity of a true Ju-ttak—then…
My brain began spinning wild fantasies on its own. Nah. No way it went that far.
“I’m sorry.”
“…For what?”
Just as the atmosphere was sinking like a failed blind date, my sister spoke first.
“…You know. You must be disappointed in me. I acted like everything was normal, but… I was running a place like this.”
“……”
She pouted her lips. She was probably worried I’d look at her with contempt. What an idiot. Her little brother was even worse, and he was sitting right in front of her.
“Then what do you think of me, sis?”
“Huh? What do you mean…?”
“If we’re going there… I applied to be the sub-manager of a place like this too.”
“Ah… right… you did.”
She didn’t seem particularly flustered. If anything, I was the one panicking. She looked calmer than when she’d apologized.
“Actually… I already knew. About what you were doing.”
“……What?”
I was shocked by the sudden bombshell. She knew I was running the incest gallery? How?
“…You too?”
“You too…?”
We both wore the same expression—how did you know? My mind raced back through the last three years… okay, not three years, but the last three months.
“When did you—”
The moment our words overlapped, I understood. This was exactly why we were siblings.
