I'll Pay You... Can't You Do It Like Yesterday?
“Welcome home. You're a bit late today, aren't you?”
“Oh, Uncle. You shouldn't have waited up for me...”
“How could I not worry when my niece comes home so late at night?”
“Thank you, Uncle.”
“No need to thank me.”
After seeing my last client of the night... I come home to Uncle greeting me as warmly as ever.
....Though in truth, today I was even bukkake'd by his son, that rotten cousin of mine, Cheol-gyu.
Standing face-to-face with Uncle, I suddenly feel ashamed and avert my eyes.
“Go on in, wash up, and get some sleep.”
“Yes, goodnight.”
Once Uncle heads off to bed, I glance around cautiously.
....
Checking if that bastard Cheol-gyu is lurking anywhere...
Then it hits me—pure annoyance. Why the hell am I the one sneaking around, watching out for a creep like Cheol-gyu?
Shouldn't it be him—the sex offender who came all over me—who's the one on edge?
But ratting him out would be suicide for me too.
My chest feels tight, but... I head to my room, stomach churning at the thought of running into him anytime.
But then...
“Oh, sis? You're back?”
“....What are you doing here?”
“Just hanging out. Playing with Jin-woo.”
“Sis! Cheol-gyu's being a total pest.”
“....”
There he was—that bastard Cheol-gyu, waiting in my room.
=====
Of course, Lee Cheol-gyu is Jin-woo and my cousin, and the main family's son in this house.
So... objectively speaking, lounging on Yeon-woo Lee's bed—or her brother Lee Jin-woo's—flipping through comics is not just natural; it's expected.
But to me right now, it looks entirely different...
“....Cheol-gyu. Come out for a sec?”
“Why?”
“I need to talk to you.”
“Too annoying...”
What the hell gives him the right to so casually defy me... flipping through his comic like he owns the place?
I boil with rage for a second, but I know exactly what he's banking on, so I swallow my anger.
More than that...
“Something wrong?”
Jin-woo tilts his head, innocently clueless, staring at my pale face.
“Huh? No, nothing.”
“Hmm....”
He gives me a slightly suspicious look, then turns back to his studies, slipping on noise-canceling headphones like he doesn't want to hear us chatting anymore. He dives deep into his work.
Watching him, it hits me.
I cannot let Jin-woo know his sister is a whore, even if it kills me.
He's already studying like a madman to get into med school and rebuild our family...
And I can't let him find out Cheol-gyu is using him as leverage to get what he wants from me...
But if I just play along with this monkey bastard here, I'll be at his mercy forever.
So, stealing glances at Jin-woo's back, I whisper fiercely to Cheol-gyu.
“Hey... you gonna get out or not?”
“...Just a bit longer. Sis, aren't you gonna change?”
“....”
This fucker.
But this monkey-like creep—who always used to cower and sulk alone whenever I glared at him...
Today, he's tense but holding his ground.
Click.
His defiance unnerves me a little, but I lean in closer and hiss,
“Hey. Get the fuck out. I'm not kidding.”
“....O-okay.”
Only then does he shrink back to his usual cowardly self... glancing back with lingering regret as he slinks away.
I don't relax until he's gone. Finally, I change clothes.
Ha... what a long-ass day.
I drag my exhausted body up to the top bunk and lie down, but today's events keep flashing across the ceiling.
“....”
Body's beat, but sleep won't come.
=====
“Alright, let's pray.”
“Yes~”
Our loving and gracious Heavenly Father, we thank You sincerely for providing us with this precious sustenance for life today. May this food renew our bodies and spirits, and keep us safe from all dangers of the day under Your protection. Grant us true peace that the world cannot give, so we may live with unwavering faith in every moment. We pray all this in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
Uncle's prayer ends—the prayer of our devout Christian uncle—and I force my drooping, exhausted eyes open to stare at the table.
“Yeon-woo looks like she was pretty wiped out yesterday, huh?”
“Ah, yeah... wasn't feeling great.”
“Working at the academy plus night shifts must be tough. But seeing you work so hard makes me happy...”
That's when it happens.
“Pfft...!”
Cheol-gyu, sitting across from me, can't hold back a snicker.
This bastard?
I glare at him, tense that he might say something, and Uncle shoots him a quick stern look for the rude outburst before softening back to his kind expression.
“Ahem... Anyway, take care of yourself. You young folks don't realize how tiring it gets until you ruin your health.”
“Yes... don't worry, Uncle.”
“Haha, good. Let's eat.”
Only after his long fatherly lecture does Uncle finally spoon some soup. Then we all start digging in.
Of course, I kick Cheol-gyu's shin under the table while glaring daggers.
“Ow...!”
“Hey! Eat quietly. Why are you so immature?”
“....Tch.”
Uncle's strict with his undergrown monkey son. Only after the scolding does the bastard finally look away from me and bury his face in his bowl.
That's when I can finally swallow my food.
As we're eating...
“Oh, right, Yeon-woo.”
“Yes, Uncle?”
Uncle looks at me seriously.
“Yeon-woo, have you thought about any blind dates or setups?”
“Huh...?”
Uncle's over 50—where's this coming from?
“Oh, no big deal. I have a businessman friend whose son just finished his internship and started residency.”
“Ah.... I see.”
Business family, doctor son. Top-tier specs.
I instinctively perk up, sitting straight to listen respectfully to my esteemed uncle.
“He's handsome too, and quite capable.”
“Oh, really...?”
“Yeah. He's in dermatology residency at S University Med School.”
“Whoa, seriously?”
Dermatology's one of the highest-earning specialties. Lots of non-insured procedures.
I use it myself plenty, so I know how lucrative it is.
“What do you think? Interested?”
“Oh, thank you, but... I'm still juggling school, so it's tough right now. Sorry, Uncle.”
I play a little hard to get.
I want to keep my image as the 'proper niece who doesn't chase men's jobs and follows her own path' in front of Uncle.
Plus, elders don't give up after one no...
“I see? Well, I'll send you a photo anyway. Even I—a real man—think he's a catch. Hang on... KakaoTalk like this...?”
“Ah.... Here? Like this....”
I stand to help him send the photo via KakaoTalk.
But... I'm wearing a sleeveless tank top. No bra, either.
I mentioned it before—my huge tits make my shoulders hurt less at home without one...
And this stretchy, deep-cut tank... as I lean over, my breasts hang down, cleavage plunging even deeper.
Even the proper Uncle's eyes linger on my cleavage... for quite a while.
But knowing full well he's looking, I pretend not to notice and calmly finish explaining.
Um... making a fuss would just be more embarrassing...
Uncle's always fond of me; I don't want to make it awkward over one glance.
“....Upload the file like this... and there.”
“....Ahem! Got it. Whew, thanks to you, Yeon-woo, this old uncle learned something new. Haha!”
Uncle coughs awkwardly, his mostly bald head flushing red.
“All set?”
“Yep! Sending it now.”
Ding. Photo arrives in my KakaoTalk.
Not bad.
Handsome doctor guy. A bit of dark circles from fatigue, kinda skinny... but hey, doctor's a doctor.
“He's seriously hot, huh? Hehe, thanks, Uncle!”
“....Yeah. Tell this uncle anytime if you're interested. I already raved to them about how great you are.”
“Aww, that's too much~!”
“What do you mean? It's true—no girl like our Yeon-woo. Haha!”
Uncle's always so sweet.
I sit back down, satisfied, saying I'll think about reaching out someday.
“....”
But the monkey's giving me this weird look.
What?
I glare at him again and finish my meal.
=====
“Hey. Come here a sec.”
After dinner, as I'm brushing my teeth and heading to my room, I grab Cheol-gyu and whisper.
“Huh? Th-then in my room...”
“....”
He's been waiting too—he leads me to his room...
This fucker... he's on edge.
His behavior since yesterday. Even at breakfast...
That was straight-up provocation.
So the moment we enter his room, I click the door locked and snap at the monkey.
“Hey. What the hell are you doing?”
“Huh?”
“I told you yesterday—no more messing with me. You got what you wanted, right??”
“Wh-what did I do?”
“Waiting in my room reading comics yesterday. Snickering during Uncle's talk this morning... that shit.”
“....S-sorry. It was just funny.”
“Funny? What the fuck's so funny?”
“....Sis working so hard at her 'part-time job.' Hilarious.”
“.....”
Rage boils up, my face burning red, but his tongue doesn't stop.
“Dad would lose it if he knew. The perfect sis... doing that job.”
This bastard...
He's still a bit intimidated by me, stuttering... but he's spewing whatever now, no filter. It unnerves me.
“So what? Gonna snitch? That I'm doing 'that job'?”
“....Not exactly...”
“Not exactly what?”
“Y-you already did it with me... that thing. S-so I was thinking...”
His bullshit leaves me speechless, but I stay quiet to hear him out.
Glancing at the door to make sure no one hears, he whispers,
“....I'll pay you... c-can't you do it like yesterday?”
