“I’m home~~Se-hee-ya!!~~!! Si-woo~ How have you been?”

Shin-bi greets Se-hee and Si-woo with a warm smile as soon as she enters the house.

The slightly downward curve of Shin-bi’s eyes instantly melts Si-woo’s guarded and tense heart.

Her chest, while not as impressive as Se-hee’s, is still quite shapely, large, and heavy, stretching the fabric of Shin-bi’s blouse into a full, round shape.

Her short, high-waisted school uniform skirt teetered precariously on Shin-bi’s white, plump thighs.

A beautiful woman with great style in any way you look at it.

Had she shared secret carnal pleasures with Se-hee, with that face that seemed innocent like a white moon?

Had she stolen and savored the overflowing honeydew of Se-hee’s secret flesh with those beautifully pink, luscious lips?

His barely calmed heart seemed to be eroded by uncontrollable emotions, connected to fantasies, without knowing where they were headed.

“Oh… Shin-bi… you’re here?”

Si-woo greets Shin-bi, suppressing his emotions as much as possible, like crushing a fragment of emptiness and bitterness in his mouth and spitting it into the air.

Si-woo had become awkward with Shin-bi after spending the night with Se-hee, but he didn’t hate or resent Shin-bi.

In the first place, it was Shin-bi who had tried to tell Si-woo about their relationship first – though he didn’t know why – and Si-woo was the one who belatedly joined their secret friendship.

Resentment wouldn’t help in any way.

“Shin-bi, did you eat?”

Se-hee says to Shin-bi while sitting at the table.

“Yeah! I had bread~!!”

Shin-bi naturally heads to Se-hee’s side.

“Want something to eat? Should I make you some fried eggs?”

Se-hee offers Shin-bi the seat next to her, speaking kindly.

Si-woo felt a little choked up at Se-hee’s kindness towards Shin-bi, which he might have overlooked normally.

“No, it’s okay~! I ate a lot~ But are the aunt and Se-young really not here?”

Shin-bi says, taking off the bag she was carrying and looking around.

“Yeah… Mom is at the aunt’s house for a while because of work~”

Si-woo answers Shin-bi, returning to his seat.

Shin-bi nods and smiles at Si-woo, as if understanding.

“Must have been nice?”

Shin-bi said to Si-woo with a beaming face.

“What?”

“It must have been nice that your mom wasn’t here~”

“Oh… well, yeah…”

Si-woo answers as carefully as possible, as if he was afraid of being caught having been with Se-hee, to Shin-bi’s words, which would have meant nothing if he had heard them normally.

“Si-woo, you said you were busy this afternoon? You can’t come to pick up Se-hee? You’re going to the academy that Se-young attends for a meeting?”

Shin-bi says, seemingly knowing Si-woo’s schedule as if she had heard it from Se-hee.

“Ah~ yeah! I have to go right after the academy, so that’s how it turned out~”

“Really? That’s too bad~ It would be nice if we could hang out together after the academy~~”

Shin-bi says to Si-woo, seemingly genuinely disappointed.

“Mom will probably be busy with work, so I’m going as a guardian for the meeting ‘only today’!!”

Si-woo emphasizes ‘only today,’ as if wary of Shin-bi.

“The magic academy near the station, right? Still, you’ll be able to see Seul-gi?”

-Shin-bi seems to know about the magic academy-

“Seul-gi? Why Seul-gi?”

Si-woo asks, puzzled by the sudden mention of Seul-gi’s name.

“Oh? Didn’t you talk to Seul-gi?”

“About what?”

“Ah~ I guess you don’t know yet~!”

Shin-bi tells Si-woo in a playful tone, as if she is deliberately trying to arouse his curiosity about what is so fun.

“No~ What don’t I know?! Why is Seul-gi’s name suddenly coming up?! What are you plotting behind my back again?!!”

Si-woo frowns at Shin-bi’s playful tone, looking back and forth between Shin-bi and Se-hee.

“Hehe~ It’s nothing like that~ It’s no fun if I tell you in advance~!!

Shin-bi was speaking to Si-woo with a smile, as if coaxing him.

Si-woo couldn’t ask further questions, thanks to Shin-bi’s smile that disarmed him, although he felt uneasy for no reason.

“But Shin-bi, what brings you to our house so early in the morning?”

Si-woo was more concerned about Shin-bi’s unusual morning visit than the talk about Seul-gi right now.

Si-woo asks, with a vague feeling that something might be up.

“Just for various reasons~ I came to see Si-woo’s face~~! Didn’t Si-woo want to see me?”

Shin-bi is speaking playfully again, as if she has no intention of telling him right away.

It was the morning after Si-woo spent the night with Se-hee.

It would have been something he could have overlooked, thinking that was just how she was in the past…

Se-hee’s attitude had changed for no clear reason, and then Shin-bi suddenly visited.

Si-woo couldn’t help but think it had something to do with Shin-bi.

**

“Did you bring what we talked about?”

Se-hee puts down her spoon and says, looking at Shin-bi.

-Se-hee seemed to have finished eating while Si-woo and Shin-bi were talking-

“Yeah~ I brought it~!!”

“Can you give it to me now?”

“Huh? Now?”

Shin-bi looks at Si-woo, as if talking about something she can’t take out in front of Si-woo.

“Yeah~ Give it to me now~ I’ll take it right away~”

Se-hee says calmly, as if she doesn’t care if Si-woo sees.

“Okay~ Then just a moment~!”

Shin-bi takes out a small box, about the size of her palm, from the bag she was carrying and hands it to Se-hee.

“Here~! At the same time every day… you know?”

Shin-bi says, looking at Si-woo again.

“Aish ~ What is it? Are you trying to exclude me again~!?!!”

Si-woo was saying as if he didn’t like the secret talk that only Shin-bi and Se-hee were sharing.

“Exclude you from what~!!? It’s because you don’t need to know!!”

Se-hee says that to Si-woo, then takes out a packaging material from the box as if it’s nothing and pops a capsule into her mouth.

Then, she gets up and goes to the water purifier and pours water into a cup and drinks it.

‘Gulp gulp~!!’

Even though she said he didn’t need to know, Se-hee stretched out her body and tilted her head back, showing him how she was drinking water, as if intentionally showing off to Si-woo.

Si-woo recalls the memory of drinking water from the water purifier, naked and erect, clinging to Se-hee last night.

Si-woo was staring at Se-hee’s figure like a person out of his mind.

Se-hee touches Si-woo’s head with her fingertips, as if tapping it.

-Tap!!

“I’m going to put this in my room, so Si-woo, you eat quickly too~!! Don’t have useless conversations with Shin-bi!!”

Se-hee takes the box Shin-bi gave her and goes up to her room.

**

“What is it?”

Si-woo secretly asks Shin-bi in a low voice while Se-hee is away.

“Are you curious~?”

Shin-bi’s tone and expression are still playful to Si-woo.

“Aish~~ What is it~!!?”

Si-woo is frowning and speaking in frustration.

“Giggle~ I like it the most when you make that face, Si-woo~”

Shin-bi was teasing Si-woo again.

“Don’t joke around~ Shin-bi~!! I’m serious right now~~!! ”

Si-woo’s voice is distorted and changed as if pleading in desperation.

Shin-bi was making a troubled expression, as if hesitating at Si-woo’s plea.

“Hmm~~ Se-hee isn’t trying to hide it, so I think it’s okay to tell you~”

Shin-bi was speaking as if she was stalling for time, drawing things out.

“Yeah~!! Tell me~!!!”

Si-woo urges her, wanting to hear the answer before the sister comes back down.

“Well, what should I do? Would it be okay~?”

Shin-bi continues to tease Si-woo annoyingly.

“Can’t you tell me that much between us~?!!”

Si-woo was speaking with a sad expression.

Shin-bi stared at Si-woo for a while as if it was fun, then speaks.

“Funny~~!! What kind of relationship do we have?”

Shin-bi’s words hit his heart with sadness.

“Aish!! We’ve known each other for a long time~!! I’ll be really sad if Shin-bi says that!!!”

Si-woo was complaining to Shin-bi as if the awareness that she was a rival in love with Se-hee had disappeared somewhere.

“Haha~~ I know, I know~~ I’m just kidding~!! Why are you so sad~?”

Shin-bi was pacifying Si-woo, smiling contentedly, as if she liked the reaction she finally got from Si-woo.

“Then~ I’ll tell you~ But can you do me a favor?”

“What favor?”

“If you promise to do it, I’ll tell you later~”

Shin-bi suddenly offers a deal.

“It’s not weird, is it?”

Si-woo starts to be wary again as if worried.

“It’s not weird~~ You’ll actually thank me later once you know~”

Si-woo hesitates for a moment at Shin-bi’s words, then answers.

“Okay… I understand… I’ll do it if it’s something I can do~”

Si-woo adds a meaningless condition.

Si-woo decided that finding out what Se-hee was trying to do right now was more important than the price he would pay to Shin-bi later.

Shin-bi, hearing Si-woo’s answer, came to Si-woo’s side and took Si-woo’s hand.

Then, she spread her index finger on Si-woo’s palm and spelled out the word ‘birth control pills’ one letter at a time.

Si-woo felt like his head was going blank.

“This time, it really has to be a secret~!!?”

Shin-bi’s words were echoing in Si-woo’s ears like an afterimage.
