Panties On or Off?
My sister’s always late, no matter what…
I had no room to complain since I was the one who showed up later than we’d agreed, but still, how much later was she planning to be?
I stood in the middle of a crowded weekend shopping mall, staring down at my phone while I waited for her.
Then, suddenly, a familiar voice called out cheerfully from behind me.
“Heyyy, Namhyuk-ssu! Sorry for making you wait so long…!”
“Ugh… what the heck took you so long?”
I grumbled and turned around to see my sister jogging toward me, out of breath.
She was wearing a crisp white shirt and a denim jacket that perfectly captured a fresh spring vibe. And for her bottoms…
Bottoms…? Wait, what? Where did they go?
The moment I saw the unbelievable sight before me, I froze solid on the spot.
“N-noona…!”
“Yesss?”
She tilted her head with her usual bright, sunny smile, looking genuinely puzzled.
I was so shocked that I trembled all over. Barely managing to squeeze out a voice, I pointed at her bare lower half.
“H-how can you come out without wearing anything?! We’re outside…!”
“Hmm? Why not? It’s way more comfortable like this~~ Hehe.”
She laughed nonchalantly, planted her hands on her hips, and stood with her legs apart in a bold pose.
My face drained of all color. I rushed over and grabbed her by the shoulders, shaking her.
“Are you crazy?! Everyone can see…!”
“Huh? But I show it to you all the time, Namhyuk-ssu. Other people aren’t allowed to look?”
“That’s not— I mean, that’s…”
My words caught in my throat. My face burned bright red as I stammered helplessly.
…If she was going to use that logic, I really had no comeback. It was her body, after all. She could decide who got to see it.
But for some reason, hearing her say that made my chest tighten with a sharp, stinging pain.
…Because I…
“…Noona, please. I’m begging you. Only show that side of you to me.”
I held her tightly and spoke with deadly seriousness. The smile slowly faded from her lips as she stared at me.
“…Why?”
“…Because I like you, Noona.”
My face flushed with embarrassment as I confessed in a shaky voice. For a long moment, time seemed to freeze.
…So this is how I end up confessing. I can’t believe it… What will she think? She won’t find me creepy and hate me, right? Ugh…
I was spiraling into all sorts of anxious thoughts when, out of nowhere, she tilted her head again and gave me a completely unexpected reply.
“No, that’s not what I meant. You’re not wearing anything either, Namhyuk-ssu, so why are you telling me to wear some?”
“Huh? What are you—”
When I looked down, I realized—to my absolute horror—that I was in the exact same state as her. Completely bottomless.
My heart pounded like I was being chased by a ghost. H-how did this happen?!
Right then, a clothing store employee popped out from behind me and spoke in a gentle voice.
“Excuse me, sir? Is everything alright? You look a little pale…”
When I turned toward the voice, I saw that the female employee was also completely without bottoms.
Shocked, I looked around. To my horror, every single person in the entire shopping mall was walking around with their most private parts completely exposed.
“Ugh… Aaaaaagh!”
The next instant, I bolted upright in bed, drenched in sweat.
Haah… haah… It was just a dream… Fuck…
Of all the dreams I could have… I clutched my chest, trying to catch my breath, then glanced at the clock on my phone.
Crap, I’m late…! I jumped out of bed, frantically stripped off my clothes, and rushed to get ready.
About an hour later.
I stood once again in the middle of the bustling weekend shopping mall, just like in last night’s dream, staring down at my phone as I waited for her.
…I was already late, so what would she do if I were even later than this? I grumbled to myself with my arms crossed, then suddenly remembered that I’d had the exact same thought in the dream.
A cold sweat ran down my back. I quickly looked down at my pants. Thankfully, unlike in the dream, I was properly dressed.
…Of course. There was no way something like that would actually happen… Whew. Out of all the nightmares I could’ve had, why did it have to be that one…? I blushed and scratched the back of my head.
Just then, a familiar voice called out from behind me.
“Heyyy, Namhyuk-ssu…! Sorry for making you wait so long…!”
“Ugh… what the heck took you so long?”
I answered without thinking, exactly as I had in the dream, and turned my head. The moment I did, a terrifying thought hit me—what if she really had come out without bottoms? A chill ran down my spine.
But when I finally turned around, I saw her wearing a refreshing white shirt and denim jacket that screamed spring. For her bottoms… she had on a short black denim skirt with a belt.
Phew… I secretly stroked my chest and let out a huge sigh of relief.
She ran over with a bright smile, bent over in front of me to catch her breath, then wiped the sweat from her forehead with an apologetic look.
“Sorry for being late… I put on makeup for the first time in a while and it took forever…”
“It’s fine. You look really nice, so it’s okay…”
“Huh…? What do you mean, ‘you look really nice so it’s okay’?”
“N-no… I just meant you dressed up beautifully. Haha…”
Her face suddenly flushed bright red. Then she broke into a shy, beaming smile and naturally slipped one of my arms between her breasts, hugging it tightly.
“Hehe…”
I flinched in surprise and looked down at her.
We didn’t meet outside the house very often, but whenever we did, she always kept a polite distance. This was the first time she’d ever suddenly linked arms with me like this.
When she noticed me staring in shock, she must have sensed my gaze. She loosened her grip with an embarrassed expression and mumbled.
“…Sorry. I got a little too excited…”
“N-no, it’s fine…”
“…It must be uncomfortable, being with someone like me…”
She hung her head sadly, her voice trailing off. Of course, the unspoken words were probably ‘when I’m not even the person you like…’
…There was no way I could let a stupid misunderstanding like that ruin this golden opportunity. I waved my hand firmly and said,
“No, Noona. We finally came out together. Let’s walk like this.”
She looked up at me with wide eyes, startled by my decisive tone. A moment later, her face turned beet red as she lowered her head and whispered,
“…O-okay…”
Seeing her like that made me feel a wave of embarrassment too, but I had no intention of taking it back. I kept our arms firmly linked and walked side by side with her deeper into the mall.
“…..Hold on. Stop.”
“Hm? What’s wrong?”
After walking in silence for a while, she suddenly stopped dead in her tracks and quietly stared at a full-length mirror on the wall. The mirror reflected the two of us standing together with our arms linked, looking perfectly cozy.
Without a word, she raised her phone toward the mirror, made a V sign with her fingers, and took a picture.
“…Let’s go now. Hehe…”
She started walking again with a huge, happy grin. Seeing her like that made me feel happy too.
“So, Noona, where are we buying clothes? Adidas?”
“Yep. That place and New Balance. Oh, there it is…”
When we finally reached the store, she spent a long time browsing sports bras and leggings. She listened carefully to the clerk’s explanations and took her sweet time choosing with surprising seriousness.
To my eyes, they all looked pretty much the same, but apparently not to her. She went back and forth between the store and the neighboring New Balance shop, picking out what she thought looked the prettiest over and over again.
Eventually, she narrowed it down to her final candidates and took them to the fitting room to try on. Just before she stepped behind the curtain, she turned to me and asked carefully,
“Namhyuk-ssu, could you hold my bag for me…?”
“Uh… sure.”
“Yesss, thank you~”
I took her handbag without really thinking and ended up standing awkwardly in front of the fitting room while she changed.
It looked exactly like a boyfriend waiting for his girlfriend. I felt a little shy, my face turning red as I awkwardly glanced at the people around me.
A little while later, the fitting room curtain flew open and she stepped out, now fully dressed in workout clothes.
She looked around cautiously, spotted me waiting outside the store, and quickly walked over with small, hurried steps. Then, in an excited whisper, she leaned in close to my ear.
“Namhyuk-ssu, Namhyuk-ssu! It’s game time!”
“Huh…? Suddenly? What kind of game are we playing here…”
“Hehe…. Question! Am I wearing panties right now, or not~? If you get it wrong, I get one point.”
W-what…? I jumped in surprise and looked her up and down.
What kind of weird nonsense was she spouting this time…? Was she seriously asking if she was wearing panties right now? Of course she was. Was she out of her mind?
…But… I frowned and fell into deep thought. Unfortunately, the girl standing in front of me was someone who operated far outside the bounds of common sense.
After all, no normal woman would walk around her own house without panties… So with her, it was entirely possible she had flipped common sense on its head and really was going commando right now.
I glanced quickly at her crotch. The leggings were skin-tight. If she were wearing panties, the lines would be clearly visible.
But there was no panty line at all on her leggings—just smooth fabric hugging her skin.
…Which meant she really was…
“…No way, Noona…”
The moment I started to speak with a look of shock on my face—
—I saw her flash a sly, mischievous grin, and my thoughts instantly flipped.
No. This had to be one of her evil schemes. She was using my own assumption that she might actually be going without panties against me, trying to land a blow. It was obviously a trap…!
If I said she wasn’t wearing any, she’d probably tease me mercilessly, calling me a pervert and saying there was no way she’d do something like that…
…Even though I usually tried to let her win as much as possible, losing this one would be way too embarrassing. I had to get it right.
Come to think of it, I’d heard somewhere that women sometimes wear thong-style panties with leggings because they don’t want the lines to show.
She must be wearing something like that on purpose just to mess with me…! Whew, I almost fell for it completely…
I crossed my arms with a confident smirk.
“…The answer is ‘wearing them.’ How’s that?”
“Ehhh…. Really? You’re not going to regret it? I’ll give you one last chance to change your answer.”
“Nope~ I’m absolutely sure~ Hehe. Nailed it, right?”
I pressed her with full confidence. But instead of looking annoyed that her plan had been exposed, she just smiled silently with an ominous expression.
W-what’s with that creepy smile…? It can’t be… right?
Then she suddenly stood on her tiptoes and whispered secretly into my ear.
“Wrong~♥ Hehe.”
