The Junior 2
The moment Minhi stepped into my room, she started rummaging through everything.
"M-Minhi, what are you doing…?"
"Just checking in case you've got anything related to girls stashed away."
"There's nothing like that…."
"You never know, though, right?"
She kept at it, opening and unfolding every single thing in my room. No matter how thoroughly she tore through my belongings, there was nothing to find.
"Nothing, huh?"
"I-I told you there wasn't…."
"That's a real relief. I figured my big brother was out there impurely chasing after this girl and that girl, but you're surprisingly wholesome."
Minhi put everything she'd pulled out back in its place one by one, then stood up.
"Let's go, Oppa."
"Huh?? Go where…?"
"To check out our love nest, and grab something to eat while we're at it."
"Ah……."
Yesterday she'd shown me the money she'd made on stocks and said she was taking me to look at a place where just the two of us could live. I'd thought she was joking—but she left her suitcase shoved in the corner of the room and started getting ready to head out in the clothes she was already wearing.
"What are you doing? Aren't you coming?"
"Ah… uh… yeah, I'm coming."
We went to look at houses, but every real estate office nearby had already closed for the day, so Minhi was leading me off to get something to eat instead.
"Oppa, is there anywhere good around here?"
"Huh? Uh… th-that cup-rice place over there…."
I always avoided crowded spots and usually just bought a single cup of street rice before heading home, so as far as I was concerned, that place was a restaurant worth recommending.
"Aah… Oppa…."
Minhi looked down at me with something almost tender in her eyes.
"W-why are you looking at me like that…?"
"No reason… you just said something so cute I had to stare."
Then she suddenly turned, casting a cold look back toward the street.
"M-Minhi?"
"……I thought someone was just staring at me…."
"It's probably just because there are a lot of people around."
"Hnn… you think so?"
Minhi faced forward again, laced her fingers through mine, and started walking.
"Just trust me and follow, Oppa. I'll escort you."
"Y-yeah… okay…."
This was her first time in this neighborhood—what kind of escorting was she planning to do…?
Puppy….
I was struggling to keep up with Minhi's slightly quickened pace when a voice I'd heard somewhere before drifted past me—but I couldn't place the direction, and it vanished just as quickly.
The place Minhi dragged me to was a bar done up like a café.
Ahh… this atmosphere was so comfortable….
For someone as passive as me, it seemed like the perfect kind of space—except that Minhi sitting right across from me made it a little terrifying.
"Don't be so scared, Oppa. I won't do anything to you out here—as long as you behave, that is."
"Ah…."
Every single one of those little remarks only made me more hyperaware of everyone around us.
"Oppa, can you hold your liquor?"
"Uh… a-a little…."
"A little? One bottle? Two? You don't even know your own limit?"
"I… I just don't really know…."
I barely had any friends, so I never came to places like this—and honestly, soju itself was so bitter I never liked the taste.
"Heheheh. Don't worry, Oppa. If you get drunk and pass out, I'll carry you home and take real good care of you♡"
"U… uh-huh…."
Along with the sound of Minhi's laugh, I made a firm resolution: somehow, I was getting out of here without collapsing from drink.
"Your boneless fried-and-seasoned combo, complimentary fries, and drinks will be right out."
The owner, who looked to be in his thirties, finished serving us and left.
"Eat plenty, Oppa… actually, if you're going to eat, I'd rather you drink more."
"O-okay… I'll try."
Fresh-fried chicken sat in front of me, steam rising with a delicious smell. Then the owner returned with beers in both hands.
"Two ice-cold five-hundred-cc mugs of beer. Enjoy."
At the words "ice mug," I saw something white and snowflake-like on the glass and reached out to touch it, wondering if it was actually made of ice.
"Oppa."
"Y-yeah?"
"Don't tell me you thought it was a mug made of ice."
"Ah… no, I didn't…."
"What do you mean no? It's written all over your face. Heheheh. Even that is seriously adorable."
Just as Minhi said, it wasn't a mug carved from ice—just a beer glass chilled ice-cold.
"Alright, cheers~"
"Ch-cheers…."
I lifted the freezing mug and clinked it against Minhi's.
"Oppa, you know the first drink is a one-shot, right?"
"Uh… huh?? How am I supposed to finish all of this, Minhi…?"
"Whyy~ The first drink is always a one-shot! One-shot, no exceptions! If you don't finish yours by the time I finish mine, I am not going to let it slide when we get home."
"Huh?? W-w-wait, Minhi!"
While I was still talking, Minhi had already started gulping down her beer in big swallows. At the threat that she wouldn't let me off, I had no choice but to start chugging mine too.
M-my throat burns….
The beer was cold, but the mug itself was freezing too. As the icy beer went down, the carbonation felt like it was attacking my throat. I gave up before I even made it halfway—but the empty mug sitting in front of Minhi was right there in my face.
"Heheh. Look forward to tonight, Oppa."
"Ah……."
"Aah~ Don't look so defeated. You'll adapt eventually anyway—your body will change until you can't live without me. What's there to tremble about?"
Minhi casually took the beer I'd been drinking and finished it herself.
"Pffheheh…… Aaaah~"
Having drained the beer, Minhi looked at me and opened her mouth. Honestly, the only thought left in my head was how badly I wanted to run.
I speared a piece of chicken with a fork and put it in her mouth.
But could I really escape Minhi's hands?
"Mmmmh~ Is it because Oppa fed it to me? It's delicious—melting right in my mouth."
Minhi was taller than me, better at sports, and now richer too. Without so much as blinking, she had casually told me to my face that she would poison our parents.
"Here, Oppa, you have a bite too. Say aah~"
And then she had beaten me with her fists, locked me up, and—calling it "education" with some drug I couldn't identify—sexually assaulted me.
"How is it, Oppa? Good?"
"Yeah… it's warm and soft. Tastes good…."
I'd tried to resist her, but all I got back was more threats.
"Not that. How was it being fed by me?"
"I-it's good…."
She had threatened me with putting photos of the assault online.
"Right? It's good, isn't it? Try it with the beer this time. People don't just say 'chimaek, chimaek' for no reason, you know."
After paying the price of resistance with what Minhi called her "education," I had thought about it.
"Excuse me, another five-hundred-cc, and…."
Out here we could look like nothing more than an ordinary family—but the reality was….
"Oppa, if the beer's too much, want something else instead?"
"Uh… yeah… please do that…."
I was a dog on a leash, unable to run from the Minhi watching me. The moment I fled just to make myself comfortable, my life and my family's would come crashing down. I was standing right in the middle of that scale.
"Excuse me—one more ice-cold five-hundred-cc beer, and one green grape fruit soju, please."
"Yes, coming right up."
If I asked that owner for help as he walked away with our order… would he be able to do anything about my situation?
"What's with you, Oppa? Why so quiet? Already drunk?"
"Ah… no…."
"You say no, but your face is a little red."
"I-is it?"
"Did I make you drink too fast? I didn't think you'd get tipsy from this much."
I did feel a little flushed… between all the thinking and the alcohol, my face was getting warm….
"Should we just finish this and head home, Oppa?"
"N-no, no… I'm fine. If I drink some water I'll be okay…."
"Alright. If you say so, then so be it. If it gets hard, just tell me—we'll go home right away."
"Okay… I will…."
This was turning out to be an unexpectedly good haul.
I hadn't realized Oppa was this much of a lightweight. Half a five-hundred-cc beer and his face was already red, his eyes a little unfocused.
Hnn… I'm salivating.
Taking him while he looks like that wouldn't be half bad, would it?
Tomorrow… tomorrow… tomorrow my period ends.
If I just hold out until tomorrow, I'm going to fuck him senseless.
"Heheheheh. I'm looking forward to it~"
"Looking forward to whaaat…."
"Just something I'm excited about."
"Uuuuh……."
Whether it was the alcohol or not, Oppa kept dragging out his words as he sipped steadily at the water in his glass.
"Oppa, can I ask you just one question?"
"U-uh…… go aheead…."
"Have you ever had a girlfriend?"
"Uuuuh… nooo…."
"Not even after starting university?"
"Aaaah… prooobably not…."
Probably?
Back in elementary, middle, and high school I'd been right there beside him, so I always knew whether he had a girlfriend or not—that part was genuine. But the second university came up, his words started to stretch.
"Probably? What's that supposed to mean, Oppa?"
"Uuuuh… my junior… Eunseo kept… uuuuh…."
"That fucking b— no. That junior did what? Keep talking??"
That fucking whore whose number was saved in Oppa's phone.
My grip tightened on the fork until I wanted to gouge that bitch's eyes out with it right then and there.
Oppa didn't do anything wrong.
He was just too pure, and that fucking fox of a bitch wagged her tail at him—so he didn't do anything wrong. But not fighting back even once? That part is still his fault.
"So what did that junior do? Spit it out already, hurry!!"
"Uuuuh… bathroooom……."
"Haaah… fine. Go."
I wanted that answer, but he was drunk and had clearly had a lot to drink—he just stood up and headed for the bathroom.
"Auuuugh…… why is the floor so soft and fluffyyy…."
I couldn't tell if I was walking properly or strolling across a cloud of cotton candy. It was weirdly fun. Stepping on whatever that soft, fluffy floor—or cotton candy—was, I made it into the bathroom.
"So tiiiny…."
The bathroom was just a urinal, a locked stall toilet, and a sink. I'd just take a quick piss…….
"Ah, shittt……."
The chastity belt Minhi had locked on me made peeing here a real problem. Not wanting to get caught on the thing, I went into the stall, and—
"Welcome home, my little dog."
When I opened the stall door, sitting on the toilet was Eunseo—my university junior—looking a little haggard.
"Huh?? Juniorrr??"
"Yes, that's right~ Your junior Eunseo, who loves her little dog so, so much~"
"W-what are you doooing here…."
"Aah, well, you see~"
Bzzzt. Bzzzt.
Something in Eunseo's hand crackled with electricity.
"Finding a dog that ran away from home is a master's duty, isn't it? Don't you think?"
"D… doggyy?? There's no dog heeere……."
"What do you mean nowhere? He's right in front of me."
"Huh???"
The thing in Eunseo's hand touched my neck.
"So it'll sting for just a second and then you'll be asleep. Be a good boy and bear with it♡"
BZZZZZZT!!!
My body went numb, and I lost consciousness as I collapsed.
