After Sehee’s nagging ended, we sat at the table and ate the ramen that Shinbi made together.

“We all went together today~”

Shinbi’s soft voice.

After listening to the story, the tattoo Sehee got is said to be a friendship tattoo that is popular among female students at high-end academies these days.

Each person has their favorite opposite sex or celebrity’s name designed like a drawing in English spelling of the same font on their thighs.

Because it is done small on the inside of the thigh below the crotch, there is no chance of getting caught at the academy unless you intend to lift your skirt and show it like before.

“We went as a group and got it cheap. Because we are female students at a high-end academy, we also got a discount. Sehee and I chose the names of people we like. They said they would give an even bigger discount if lovers do it.”

Shinbi explained in detail even things that I didn’t ask about, using her unique intonation that relieves tension in her gentle tone.

Siwoo nodded while eating ramen.

According to Shinbi, it seemed that both Sehee and Shinbi had someone they liked.

I didn’t know if they were dating the person whose initials they got, or if they just had feelings for them, but I didn’t really feel like asking.

“Shall I show you mine?”

Shinbi, who was sitting next to me, turned her knees towards Siwoo and asked.

Siwoo, who was eating ramen, coughed as if he had choked at Shinbi’s sudden words.

“Cough…gasp…wh..what did you say?”

“Don’t you want to see it? Aren’t you curious?”

Shinbi pretended to lift the top of her skirt slightly with both hands.

Shinbi’s already short school uniform skirt was going up towards her hips, brushing against Shinbi’s chubby thigh flesh.

‘Gulp!’

Siwoo, who swallowed hard and stared intently at Shinbi’s thighs.

Suddenly, the movement of the skirt that was going up stopped, and Shinbi said in a lewd voice.

“Your eyes have become perverted?”

Then, she nonchalantly covers her thighs with her skirt again.

“Did you really think I was going to show you~ Puhahaha”

Shinbi’s teasing voice and laughter echoed throughout the house.

Siwoo was momentarily flustered.

“Your brother is so cute~ Did you see his face turning red?”

Shinbi, with a playful expression, said to Sehee.

Sehee, who was sitting across from her, was silently watching the scene as if she felt sorry for him.

“Were you perhaps expecting something?”

Shinbi hit the nail on the head and teased Siwoo to the end.

“Aish~ I’m not!!!”

Siwoo didn’t like the situation where even Shinbi, whom he had trusted, was teasing him, so he answered with a frustrated voice.

“Kyarareureu~”

Shinbi laughed while holding her stomach as if radiating the vitality of a female student at a high-end academy.

While eating ramen, Siwoo was

“Men will keep changing, so you guys will definitely regret it later,” or

“Well, you can just pick men with the same initials to date,” or

“I wonder if renaming the men you meet would be a good idea?” He said these things, which were not exactly curses, to recover his face and position that had fallen due to being teased.

But every time, thanks to Shinbi’s way of speaking that soothed and coaxed him, saying things like “Okay, that would work,” his attempts were not very effective.

“But Sehee, wouldn’t it be a really big deal if Mom found out about that?”

This time, Siwoo asked Sehee in a serious and worried tone.

“There won’t be any problem as long as you keep your mouth shut?”

Sehee was still cold to Siwoo.

“Are you not going to go to the bathhouse or swimming pool with Mom anymore?”

Siwoo said to Sehee as if he was still worried, and

“That’s why I said there won’t be any problem as long as you keep your mouth shut, right?”

Sehee repeats the same words and answers Siwoo coldly.

“Aish, would I tell Mom something like that~?!”

Siwoo was gradually getting annoyed at his sister’s attitude.

He decided to stop talking to his sister now.

It seems that the joke Siwoo made yesterday morning touched his sister’s weakness and made her very angry.

After their father passed away, everyone in the family was in a difficult situation, and she quit track and field, which she had been diligently doing while achieving good results because her breasts got bigger.

I heard it from Shinbi, but if that was the reason, she might have been ashamed to reveal it to her family.

Sehee had never thought of sports as a career, so she didn’t have a hard time quitting sports itself.

However, she was secretly upset that she couldn’t confidently reveal the reason even though she knew it would cause concern.

Siwoo touched on that part.

Shinbi, who was watching from the side, felt sorry for Siwoo, so she started playing pranks on Siwoo again.

“Siwoo, do you have a girlfriend?”

“No, I don’t?”

Siwoo answered without much thought.

“Have you ever dated anyone before?”

“No.”

“Have you ever kissed?”

“I told you I’ve never dated anyone, so how could I have kissed!!”

Siwoo said shyly.

“Can’t you kiss even if you’re not dating?”

“I haven’t!!”

Siwoo was a little surprised. Can you kiss even if you’re not dating? It’s not wrong, but shouldn’t it usually be done between lovers? That’s what he was thinking.

-Delusion separate, reality separate-

“Are you not interested in that kind of thing?”

Shinbi’s face comes a little closer to Siwoo.

“No, I’m interested, but it’s weird to answer that kind of thing.”

Siwoo is getting more and more flustered, unable to make eye contact.

“Should I teach you how to kiss?”

Shinbi puckered her glossy lips with pink lipstick on them and stared straight at Siwoo.

“….”

Siwoo froze in that position and couldn’t say anything, just looking at Shinbi’s lips.

“Ah~ You thought about it for a moment, didn’t you? Kissing your sister.”

Shinbi said again in a playful voice.

“Ah, stop it!! What are you talking about!!”

“Siwoo is really cute! Kyarareuk~”

His sister laughed again while holding her stomach.

Siwoo kept being teased by Shinbi, so now he was just eating ramen and listening to Sehee and Shinbi’s conversation.

“Hoo~ But I can’t dance either. I sweat a lot and it’s too difficult. It’s hard because I’m trying to use muscles that I don’t usually use, and I don’t think I should have approached it so lightly.”

It seemed that Sehee was talking about the dance she was practicing earlier.

“Yeah, you’re right. It seems like it’s definitely a difficult dance for beginners.”

Shinbi answers as if agreeing.

“Should we do that instead? Are you okay?”

Sehee seemed to be slightly looking at Siwoo’s expression, and then asked Shinbi while saying ‘that’.

“Um.. I honestly think I can do it if I do it with you.”

Shinbi answered carefully to Sehee’s question.

“Yeah, I think I can do it if I do it with you too? I told Sora that I would give her an answer slowly, so let’s think about it a little more.”

Sehee finishes the conversation as if hiding something while looking at Siwoo’s expression.

“What are you guys talking about? Diet?”

Siwoo suddenly became curious and asked.

“You don’t need to know.”

It was Sehee who blocked Siwoo’s question with a cold tone.

“Aish, what is it? Shinbi, what are you talking about? Huh?”

Siwoo, thinking that he wouldn’t be able to get an answer from Sehee, immediately asked Shinbi.

Shinbi, also looking at Sehee’s expression, said.

“I’m sorry Siwoo~ I don’t mind telling you, but I think Sehee would get really angry.”

“Ah, seriously, what’s going on~”

Siwoo’s tone became whiny out of frustration.

“I said you don’t need to know!! If you’re done eating ramen, go do the dishes!!!”

Siwoo couldn’t ask any more questions due to Sehee’s angry words and ended up doing the dishes.

Sehee and Shinbi were sitting on the living room sofa watching TV and chatting.

Siwoo was perking up his ears and eavesdropping on their conversation, but there was no talk related to ‘that’.

Siwoo thought to himself while doing the dishes.

‘There’s something going on.’

‘It was definitely about dieting, but why is my sister getting angry that I know?’

‘Is it a type of exercise that’s embarrassing to tell her own brother?’

‘Aish, even Shinbi is keeping it a secret, so I’m getting even more curious.’

Siwoo kept thinking about it, but no answer came out.

As he was almost finished with the dishes, Sehee, who was chatting with Shinbi in the living room, got up, saying she was going to the bathroom.

A little later, while Sehee was in the bathroom, Shinbi approached Siwoo in the kitchen and started talking to him.

“Shall I help you with the dishes?”

Shinbi’s usual voice without any playfulness.

“I’m almost done, so it’s okay~ More than that, sister, weren’t you talking about dieting earlier?”

Siwoo quickly asks, thinking that she might answer when Sehee is not around.

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Shinbi answers willingly.

“But what kind of diet is it that Sehee gets angry if I know about it?”

“There’s something like that. Hehe”

Shinbi still didn’t give a clear answer.

“Ah~ Seriously, are you going to be like that too, Shinbi?”

“I’m sorry, but I think Sehee would really get angry if I said it.”

Shinbi keeps the secret until the end.

“That’s too much, what is it~ You were just teasing me earlier, and now you’re just leaving me out and isolating me? How long have you known me!!! Can’t you just tell your close brother?”

Siwoo appealed to Shinbi for the last time, expressing his disappointment.

Shinbi had a troubled expression.

“Don’t be too disappointed~”

And after thinking for a moment, she said.

“I don’t think I can tell you, Sehee would really get angry. Instead, I’ll give you a hint.”

With those words, Shinbi wrote numbers on Siwoo’s back with her fingers as he was doing the dishes.

‘0’

‘1’

‘3’

‘5’

Shinbi is stroking Siwoo’s back as if erasing the numbers after writing them all.

“0135?

Siwoo is puzzled and only turns his head slightly to the back to confirm with his sister by making a sound.

“Shh!!”

Shinbi gestured to be quiet and made a sound with her mouth.

“Even if you know the answer, you have to pretend you don’t know to Sehee, okay?”

Siwoo nodded.

And Siwoo didn’t say a word, pondering the answer until Shinbi went back.
