Chapter 12. Watching a Movie with Sis 「Joo Ji-hoon's POV」
Suddenly, So-min exposed her panties, and I hurriedly turned my head away.
"Sis! What the hell are you doing all of a sudden?!"
"W-what do you mean?"
"You're showing your panties like that."
"W-why's that a problem...? It's home. Just family... And I've been in my panties from the start...?"
"...Yeah, you're right."
Now that she mentioned it, she was. I'd been a bit uncomfortable with her lounging around in just underwear, but I hadn't said anything. It wasn't weird for her to walk around the house like that.
But that pose just now—it was impossible not to stare right at her panties. To any outsider, it was way too defenseless.
"Sis. I'm an amnesiac right now, so when I look at you, you just seem like a normal girl. If you strike a pose like that out of nowhere, it makes me look at you with dirty eyes."
"R-really...?"
For some reason, her face lit up.
"Yeah, really."
"If it's uncomfortable, should I go put on shorts...?"
"Hmm... If you're okay with it, no need. It's weird that I'm the one bothered."
I couldn't force discomfort on her when it was my issue. Lounging in underwear at home was her prerogative.
"O-okay, then I'll stay like this..."
So-min didn't even try to cover up, keeping her legs spread wide.
"Sis, why the hell are you sitting like that anyway?"
"I-I was making room for you to sit...?"
"That's a bit much, even for siblings. Isn't it too close?"
"B-but... You've always sat here..."
"Huh? Really?"
"Yeah. Like it was your reserved seat..."
Joo Ji-hoon, you crazy bastard! Now it's come to this—my sister's thighs as a reserved seat? Being close is fine, but moderation! Even for family, sitting right up against her should be the line, right? A 21-year-old calling sis's lap his spot? What the fuck?
I was starting to look forward to whatever fresh excuse he'd cooked up next.
"Sis. I seriously don't get it—can you explain?"
"W-what?"
"Why you treated the spot between your thighs like my reserved seat."
"W-well, there's only one chair. It's too cramped side by side..."
She had a point. Like holding a baby in the passenger seat, there wasn't space for two abreast.
"Couldn't you just grab another chair?"
"N-no, can't do that."
"Why not?"
"T-too much hassle..."
"It's not. I'll grab one quick."
"W-wastes time. Let's just sit together and watch..."
Anxiety was plain on her face as she said it, like me fetching a chair would spell disaster.
Gotcha. Something had felt off from the start. A huge home theater with just one chair? No way. Money wasn't an issue, so there had to be a reason for the single seat. Like an excuse to share it.
"Sis, one more question?"
"W-what...?"
"Did you ask for the home theater in the house?"
"Y-yeah. I love movies..."
"And you designed this room too?"
"Y-yeah."
Figured. Now I saw the resemblance to my little sister. One's bubbly, the other's gloomy—totally different vibes. But they shared one big trait: brocon tendencies.
Not that it was bad. With a beauty like this sis, I'd welcome it. The stuttering was a flaw, but who hasn't got one? Family's who embrace even fatal flaws, I think. Orphaned and raised without parents, I'd always craved that.
"You okay sitting with me like this, sis?"
"N-not at all! I like sitting with you..."
Her honesty was refreshing. As long as she's sweet, that's what matters.
"Then, excuse me."
Plop.
I sat on the sofa, perching awkwardly on the edge.
"J-Ji-hoon. Come in more."
"Okay."
I scooted my butt in a bit. Something heavy pressed against my back, and I froze. Any further, and it'd get dangerous. Sexually.
"C-come in, I said..."
So-min wrapped her arms around my waist from behind, yanking me back into her embrace. Her soft tits squished against my back.
Mom's hugs put her mammaries on my shoulders like a neck pillow. But with So-min, they mashed into my back like a recliner cushion. Similar size, but her shorter frame made the ratio even bustier.
"H-how's it feel? Not uncomfortable, right?"
"The position's comfy, but aren't we too close?"
"D-don't like being close?"
Tears edged her voice. I whipped around, startled. She'd been beaming a second ago, now pouting sadly.
"Not that I hate it. Opposite, actually."
"Opposite...?"
"Like I said, you look like a normal girl to me. Get this close, and my heart kinda races."
"R-really?"
Her face bloomed with joy. Had I said something that exciting?
"Doesn't it creep you out that I see you as a woman, not family?"
"N-not at all!"
Her volume screamed sincerity. Honestly, she felt like a stranger I met yesterday, but her care touched me.
"Thanks, sis. You're such a sweetheart."
I flashed a bright smile. Then—
Gulp.
She swallowed hard, staring at me with hungry eyes.
Uh oh. That gaze was off. Like she wanted to devour me. Definitely not innocent.
"Sis."
"..."
"Sis!"
"...Yeah?"
"When do we watch the movie?"
"Oh, r-right now."
She snapped her fingers in the air. The theater lights dimmed out, and the screen flickered to life.
"Whoa, how'd you do that?"
"M-magic."
"Ooh!!"
I knew magic existed, but seeing it firsthand? I gawked like a kid at a magic show.
"Y-you're so cute now. Euhuhu..."
A ghostly cackle came from behind. I spun, spooked—only sis there.
"...Sis?"
"Yeah?"
"Nothing."
Thought I saw a ghost for a sec. That laugh was creepy enough to raise hairs.
"What movie are we watching, sis?"
"H-horror flick."
"Horror? I'm bad with those..."
Hurts my macho pride, but horror terrifies me. I scream like a girl.
"I-it'll be fun. You said it was great."
"I've seen it?"
"Y-yeah. Rewatched it tons. You won't remember now."
One of those "lost memories, wanna rewatch masterpieces"? If I called it great, no doubts. I know classics.
......
"KyaAAAAAHHH!!!"
I screamed my lungs out. Wanted to bolt, but So-min held me tight.
"Heh... S-so cute... Euhuhu..."
She mumbled, hugging tighter, rubbing her tits on my back, sniffing my neck.
No time to care. Soul-shaking terror. I flailed like swimming in air, screaming. When I needed to hide, I buried my face in her breasts. Grabbed her thighs hard during scares.
"Eek?!"
"S-sorry. Did it hurt?"
"N-no... Hehe..."
She laughed off every thigh squeeze.
"Sorry, sis... I'm really bad with scary stuff..."
"I-if it's that scary, wanna hold hands?"
She extended her hand over mine. Hesitated at the overkill skinship, but soon our fingers interlaced.
"KyaAAAAH! Sis! Save me!!"
...After the ordeal, the movie ended.
"Thought I'd die of fright..."
Throat half-gone from screaming, limbs limp from exhaustion.
"You okay, sis?"
I glanced back. Met a chilling gaze—like a zombie eyeing fresh meat. She mumbled nonstop, so I leaned in.
"Cute... cute... so cute... cute..."
No cuties in that movie...?
"Sis!"
"H-huh, yeah?"
I yelled louder; she snapped to.
"Wasn't it scary for you?"
"N-not really... Patterns too predictable. Buncha idiots thinking jumpscares wrap it up..."
Harsh critique, surprisingly.
"The makeup was scary though. Ghosts didn't faze you?"
"C-compared to what I see daily, nah..."
"Daily? ...Wait, you see stuff?"
"Yeah... Even on your head..."
"Eek!"
I squeezed my eyes shut, hunching.
"Get it off quick!"
"J-just kidding."
"..."
"Hehe... J-just like always..."
A smile lit her face. Her laugh started creepy, but now? Kinda cute. Even pure-ish. Protecting me through the horror helped.
"Glad we watched together. Feels way closer now."
"M-me too..."
"I must've looked pathetic. Didn't shatter your image?"
"N-not at all. Same as always..."
"I see."
Weird feeling—a stranger knowing me inside out. Thought it'd take ages to bond, but her initiative sped it up.
"Ha... What now? Too scared to sleep tonight."
Horror always spawned monster nightmares. Takes forever to doze off fearing ghosts.
"J-Ji-hoon. Scared to sleep alone? Wanna sleep with me?"
"...Huh? Together?"
My eyes flicked instinctively to her chest.
