The Audacity of a Younger Sister
Lee Jiyoon. Did she eat something strange for dinner instead of a meal? "I didn't see any delivery records earlier." Then what was it? There was leftover stew in the kitchen, and if she didn't want to reheat that, I had plenty of the instant ramen she likes stocked up. What on earth could she have eaten to act like that…?
…Surely she didn't skip dinner just to play games until this hour, did she? Of course, skipping a meal doesn't immediately turn a person into a freak.
"Haaah." It's difficult. So difficult.
I washed up again, feeling self-conscious because of her comments about some shampoo scent I didn't even recognize. I patted my cheeks, which were still burning hot, and let out a long breath.
Right. Even if I concede a hundred times over, I could let it slide that she's interested in her sister's sex life. Jiyoon is a woman, after all. And a virgin. Maybe she was just curious about that kind of thing… right? And back when we were both in high school, didn't she occasionally ask me in passing if I had a boyfriend? I thought she only liked playing games at home, but she was more interested in the erotic side of things than she let on. If I think of it that way, it's somewhat understandable.
…Understandable, that is.
"…But this is just too much…."
But that should end at the level of pure "curiosity." Saying my sister's porn taste is weird and that she wants to watch from the side and offer coaching during sex is just….
…What kind of nonsense is this…. I still don't get it….
"Did she drink a can of beer alone…. Hmm…."
My hair was still strangely damp because I hadn't dried it thoroughly. I ran my hands through it, clicking my tongue, and flopped onto the bed. There hadn't been any smell of alcohol when we talked earlier, so it wasn't a drunken mistake. That meant she had said, "I want to watch you and Seo Woojin have sex from the side and correct you so it's normal," while completely sober. (Of course, she didn't put it exactly like that, but that was the nuance.)
How many sisters have ever had an experience like this? What would Woojin think if he walked in, showered and wearing only a bathrobe before sex, to see Jiyoon sitting on the side with a blank face, legs crossed, eating snacks?
"Why is she here, Noona?"
What on earth am I supposed to answer to that question? "Oh, well, I got caught with a porn history back in high school and it was almost like a rape thing, so blah blah…." Ughhhhh….
"…Forget it. Jiyoon told me to ask Woojin herself. Yeah."
I hugged my pillow and kicked the bedsheets for a while. I tied my hair back loosely so it wouldn't wrap around my neck while I slept, and with a feeling bordering on resignation, I tucked myself into the blankets.
At least, thankfully, the atmosphere wasn't one of "I'm going to watch no matter what!" right? So it should be fine. Woojin would obviously be incredibly self-conscious having sex while Jiyoon is watching… or staring. And above all, unless he's an idiot or a pervert, he's bound to refuse, right? Jiyoon wouldn't do anything even weirder if Woojin says he doesn't want to.
So, don't worry about it…, "…*yawn*." Let's just sleep. I'm so sleepy because I sweated so much today….

"Are, are you a pervert?"
"She must have a reason for doing that, too."
No matter how I looked at it, how could I say, "Jiyoon wants to watch us have sex from the side," over a KakaoTalk message in the morning? That was why, after skipping my first-period class under the guise of a cold, I had come down to the infirmary. And immediately after, I heard that strange thing.
"No, I told you she said she wanted to watch us ha… ha, have sex…! It's not like she asked for a recording after it was all over!"
"I understood perfectly. You and I have sex. Jiyoon wants to watch that from the side. Right?"
"Ri, right, but…."
"That much is…."
He said it was fine to watch. I'll say it again because it's important. He said it was fine to watch. And it wasn't after a long period of agonizing and a reluctant nod, either; he said it after scratching his cheek for about five seconds.
"Are, are you not embarrassed? It would be less embarrassing to show a complete stranger…. No, that's also super embarrassing…!"
"Calm down a little. I don't think this is something to get this worked up about."
"Do I look like I can calm down right now…?!"
Is this what they mean by the old proverb that a sister-in-law who stops a fight is more hateful than a mother-in-law who hits? I don't know, I don't know. Whether my thinking is right or wrong is secondary; what's important right now is not that. The fact that Woojin felt no particular doubt about Jiyoon's perverted behavior, and that unlike me, who was panting while straddling the chair, he was sipping instant coffee and clicking away at his laptop with one hand, was so frustrating.
Do you really understand? We have to show Jiyoon all the things we did yesterday, you jerk…! The way I call you 'Oppa' and get pounded until the bed creaks, all that stuff…!
"Stop looking at the laptop and look at Noona's eyes when you talk."
"…Ah, sorry. I was just looking through the news for today."
"Did Jiyoon talk to you before me? About watching from the side?"
"…No. She only talks about games with me."
"Then why are you so calm? When I first heard that, it felt like it took 10 minutes for my brain to process it properly…!"
"I told you earlier. She must have a reason for doing that."
"…A reason for doing that."
"Yes."
What reason could there be? It's just that she turned out to be a pervert too, damn it…. But it's a bit much to badmouth my sister in front of Woojin. In the end, I had no choice but to cross my arms and pretend to be deep in thought.
"Hmm, maybe she has someone she likes? She might be trying to use us as a reference for later."
"…Who uses their own sister as a reference?"
"Who knows. Maybe she thought this was better than… porn or something."
"……."
Right. If it were really as you said, and she was just doing it because she didn't know what to do with a boyfriend, I would have at least tried to understand. But in reality, that's not the goal; she said my taste is weird or whatever and that she'd correct me from the side…. Of course, I didn't say that out loud, because explaining it would naturally mean telling him in detail about the time Jiyoon caught me with porn back in high school.
"Anyway, I'm fine with showing her a little bit. That doesn't mean I'm not embarrassed, though."
"I…. I'm not fine with it at all…."
"Is that so? Are you that embarrassed even though it's your younger sister?"
"Younger sister or not…! How can you have sex in front of others…!"
"Even if we do it with our clothes mostly on?"
"…I hate that too."
"Huuuum…."
"……."
"Then, I'm sorry to Jiyoon, but…. I'll have to tell her it'll be difficult."
"……?"
Seo Woojin's voice, tangled with a light yawn as if he were still sleepy from the morning. As I lifted my head, which had been drooping in a sulk, I met his eyes as he covered his mouth with the back of his hand.
"Why?"
"…No. Just. Yeah."
"…? Well, then, it's settled that showing Jiyoon is off the table, right?"
"Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely…."
"I'll give Jiyoon a hint when I see her later…. You should head back, too. You said you came here faking a cold."
"…Yeah."
"Goodbye. Don't hurt yourself by messing up your force control."
"……."
…Uh. Hmm. Case closed…?
*****
I thought I'd try to get a piece of the action since Lee Jiyoon started the weird stuff first, but she really hates it to the point of shivering. This isn't even a 3P, it's just a spectator play. …At this rate, I can't even dream of making them kneel before me and take turns sucking my cock within this year.
"I thought it would be easy…."
A famous hero I remembered debuted. A famous villain I remembered was arrested. I scanned the internet news, relieved that the future hadn't changed much, and let out a sigh of regret for the big fish that had just slipped away.
Of course, it was my judgment to go along with Lee Hayoon instead of expressing my opinion strongly, but I couldn't help but feel disappointed. Lee Jiyoon is already in heat just from hearing her sister make sounds while getting fucked over the phone, but Hayoon is still innocent compared to her sister, only running away like a squirrel. At times like this, I envy those magic-type bastards who knew how to use hypnosis….
How should I persuade Hayoon, who is so negative? I don't think she'd nod just because I say I'll buy her something delicious. …Would she be interested if I said I'd fuck her all weekend until the scent doesn't fade? Since the other party is Lee Hayoon, there must be a better way than this, surely. Hmm.
"…Ah, come to think of it, Lee Jiyoon, I thought she'd come, but she's not."
With those delusions in my head, I checked the clock and it was already 12:00 PM. I leaned back against the chair and stretched lightly, loosening my stiff muscles as I stood up. It wasn't to avoid those people who I didn't know if they were former heroes or middle-aged men with a hobby of visiting famous restaurants; I just wanted to open the windows and ventilate the room before going out for lunch.
It was while I was opening the large windows one by one, creak, creak.
"…He, hello…."
Through the gap in the door that had been pushed open without a knock, a voice I was quite familiar with reached my ears. Although I had memorized the voices of dozens of students who were frequently sick since I started working in the infirmary, those were just things I had memorized out of necessity. The voice I just heard was different. I, who had been expressionless, immediately put on my usual soft smile and turned around.
Naturally, a familiar face was looking at me, tilted at a crooked angle. …Even wearing baggy gym clothes where the zipper wouldn't close because of her breasts.
"Ah, it's Su-a."
"…Yes."
It felt like a puppy that was scared before anything even started, asking if it was okay to come in here. Ever since that incident in the infirmary last time, she seemed to be avoiding me on purpose…. It's been a little less than a week now. It seems she finally found the courage to face me again.
"Casual speech. Is it hard?"
"…Yes."
"Is there someone next to you?"
"…No."
"…That's a shame. I really liked it. Casual speech."
"…Ex, excuse me…."
Well, she could face me again, but it looked like it would be very difficult for her to call me with casual speech like before. Still, it might be better this way if she's going to be fully immersed in the pet role later once she's collared. It might be more arousing if she uses casual speech normally, but uses strict formal speech only when mating like a beast or when her leash is being held.
I adjusted my infirmary teacher's gown and walked to the desk, thinking this and that.
"Did you come because you're hurt?"
"…Yes."
"Can't you give a different answer?"
"…'Yup' sounds too light. And 'Yes' sounds too stiff…."
"…Right. Then, can you show me the wound first?"
"…Yes."
Han Su-a, who couldn't even meet my eyes properly and was only nodding her head diligently. Soon, she rolled up the gym clothes that had been covering her hands to show me the affected area.
"This is what you're talking about, right?"
"…Yes."
"Does it hurt when I press it?"
"Ah, even if you don't press it, it's slightly… it hurts…."
"Enough that you can't stand it?"
"…Not to that extent…."
Looking closely, a small bruise had formed on her forearm. It wasn't too severe, just the kind of bruise that would probably throb quite a bit. It was a very common wound I had seen many times when treating other students. It seemed she had bumped into something by mistake…. Or she got hurt during a sparring match.
"……."
But something is strange. Why would she get hurt during sparring? Shouldn't she be the one hurting others? Is it because Yozora was among the students? But Yozora isn't that strong, either.
…. …Ah. Lee Jiyoon.
"Did you get hurt while sparring with student Lee Jiyoon?"
"Ye, yes…. We were sparring today, and for some reason, she looked like she was in a good mood today…."
"…."
"She was even smiling faintly. And she kept seeming like she was thinking about something else."
"…."
"So I guess she made a slight mistake in her force control. …Ahaha."
Looking like she was in a good mood. Could that crazy bitch really think she could naturally wedge herself between her sister and me with such a pathetic plan? And so now she's even committing the eccentricity of smiling in front of someone she's not even close to?
"…Te, teacher. It hurts if you just press it silently like that…."
"Ah, sorry. I was spacing out for a moment."
"It's okay. ……An, and if you need to, you can press harder…."
"There. Treatment finished."
"…Ah. Aaat…."
…If I leave it like this, the longer I delay telling her the story, the greater her disappointment will be. I have no choice. I'll have to talk to Lee Jiyoon alone in a little while.
