79

For quite a long time, Siwoo said goodbye to Seyoung.

Bringing the palm of his hand to Seyoung’s buttocks and carefully observing the body’s reaction…

Even though the younger sibling is young, Siwoo’s current actions were not easily tolerated in a normal brother-sister relationship.

-In a state where each other’s consciousness is clear…-

A sentence that seemed to remind him of a sense of guilt, ‘Is it okay to do this to Seyoung?’, kept floating around in Siwoo’s head.

Even so, Siwoo didn’t want to give up the feeling of Seyoung’s buttocks that felt pleasantly on his entire palm.

Of course, Siwoo had long since shaken off any ethical guilt about incestuous sexual relations.

Regarding Seyoung, discomfort or a sense of constraint about such taboos no longer works.

The part that Siwoo was worried about, ‘Is it okay?’, seemed to be related to Seyoung’s recent emotional problems.

Excessive emotional attachment to her mother and family that Seyoung has been showing since her father passed away.

Sexual provocations and whispers that seemed to imply something that she occasionally attempts with Siwoo…

Even though she has started to show a feminine side, Seyoung was, after all, a 5th grader at an elementary academy.

Seyoung’s actions toward Siwoo may be an extension of pure emotional attachment, like suckling on her mother’s breast.

Guilt-ridden sentences continued to fill Siwoo’s head.

At the same time, another kind of taboo, immoral pleasure resembling the pleasure of incest seemed to wrap around Siwoo’s entire body.

**

Siwoo opens the glass door, slightly lifts the thick blackout curtain to make a path, and enters the room

A dark room where external light is blocked

Dim lighting

In the center of the narrow room, a chair and table were placed.

A shining crystal ball is visible on the table.

And a person was sitting in the seat across from him.

A wide-brimmed orange conical hat and a hooded dress…

Seulgi was sitting there as if she had fully equipped herself with a Halloween costume set, as if she had been moved there at some point.

“Welcome~! Come and sit down~!

Seulgi pointed to the chair across from her and said to Siwoo.

“Huh? You’re the one reading my fortune, Seulgi?”

Siwoo sat in the prepared chair, smiling awkwardly and calmly.

“Do you know anything about crystal ball reading?”

Seulgi asked Siwoo, who was sitting down.

“No, it’s my first time? How do you do it?”

Siwoo was quite interested in this unique experience that he had never encountered before.

“Um! Heum!!”

Seulgi cleared her throat and tried to start talking.

“Crystal ball reading is a form of divination that uses the image reflected in the crystal to confirm things that were unknowingly overlooked in the past or to predict events that will happen in the future.

It also involves figuring out the inner feelings of a specific person or interpreting the meaning of supernatural phenomena.

It is commonly known as a form of divination that uses spiritual energy or abilities, and here it is treated as a type of counseling based on mind reading! Do you understand?”

Seulgi gave Siwoo a general introduction to crystal ball reading.

Siwoo had been somewhat interested in the field of mind reading for some time, although it was only to a light extent.

Siwoo nods.

“Okay~ From now on, all the conversations we have will be kept secret in this room!”

Seulgi said, as if reciting predetermined lines, and seemed to be seriously trying to tell his fortune.

“Huh? Are you starting right away?”

“Shh~!! This is a room for divining destiny~ A gap space isolated from the world! The time you can stay is very short, so don’t say unnecessary things!!!”

Seulgi was talking to Siwoo, creating a somewhat serious atmosphere, as if warning him about the event’s allotted time being exceeded.

“Ah, okay~”

Siwoo felt awkward at Seulgi’s serious comment, but thought to himself that it was a pretty good atmosphere.

Listening to Seulgi’s words, he gets the illusion that he has actually entered a space temporarily cut off from the world.

A situation where a middle school student in a witch costume and him are sitting face to face in a dark room, pouring out their innermost thoughts…

This is a service that ordinary healthy men would want to receive even if they had to pay for it.

**

“You seem to have a problem~?!”

Seulgi opened her mouth, looking intently at the crystal ball.

“Huh? A problem?”

Siwoo looked at Seulgi, who was subtly cutting off the context before and after and proceeding with the crystal reading, and asked back.

“You wouldn’t have come if you didn’t have a problem, would you?!! Didn’t you write it on the second page of the survey?!!”

Seulgi was reminding him of the survey he had filled out, as if dealing with a demanding customer who couldn’t keep up with the mood.

-It seems to be a method of setting a counseling topic in advance and unfolding the conversation in order to save time-

“Ah~ ah~ right… I forgot. Sorry.”

Siwoo apologized awkwardly.

“Pull yourself together~!!”

Seulgi said to Siwoo in a tone like a teacher scolding a student.

Siwoo was thinking of trying out the crystal ball experience by going along with the atmosphere appropriately.

He did have a problem, and since Siwoo didn’t think he needed to go into details, he wrote on the survey about his recent concerns about incestuous relationships with his family.

Of course, he left out all the specific details and wrote it in a way that compared it to a conflict situation that could happen between ordinary families.

-Regarding the fact that his mother left home indefinitely due to work, or the fact that his sister Sehee’s attitude changed coldly in just one day-

“Is it okay to talk about my second older sister?”

Siwoo began to tell Seulgi about his relationship with his sister Sehee, feeling like he was consulting a real fortune teller.

“Sehee unni? What about Sehee unni?”

Seulgi raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she was intrigued.

-Because Shinbi unni and Sehee unni are close, Seulgi also seems to be naturally close to them-

“Yesterday, Sehee unni and I went to the department store together…?”

“To the department store?”

“Yeah… we watched a movie, went shopping, and ate…”

“And?”

“We even ate dinner together at home, watched TV, and it felt like we got really close yesterday.”

“Yeah”

“I don’t know if you know, but Sehee unni and I have been a bit like that recently…”

“Like what?”

“I mean, our relationship wasn’t very good…”

“Oh, was it?”

“Yeah~! It was, but after playing with Sehee unni for a day yesterday, it felt like we got really close. Until right before I went to sleep!”

Siwoo says, recalling how he hugged Sehee unni from behind, naked, last night.

“Until right before you went to sleep?”

“Yeah~!”

“Did you two sleep together?”

Seulgi asks a question that could be misunderstood if you misheard it, without thinking anything of it.

“Wha…why would I sleep with Sehee unni?!!”

Siwoo denied strongly with a straight face.

“You said until right before you went to sleep… I was just wondering… Anyway, keep going~”

Seulgi was proceeding with the conversation, wearing an expression as if nothing was wrong.

Siwoo felt a bit of a strange feeling, but continued talking without paying attention.

“Yeah… anyway, after sleeping like that for one night, Sehee unni’s attitude completely changed when I woke up in the morning!”

“Sehee unni is being cold to you?”

“No… first of all, she’s still doing everything like usual, but… it’s strange because someone who was so friendly yesterday has changed for no reason~!”

“Is that so?”

“I really don’t know what happened in just one day~”

Siwoo confided in her about his story with Sehee unni.

Seulgi seemed to be thinking for a moment.

“So, you’re curious about the reason why Sehee unni is treating you differently in just one day, right?”

Seulgi summarizes the question to ask the crystal in one sentence and confirms it with Siwoo.

“Ah~ yeah~ that’s right~! Can you find out?”

Siwoo asked Seulgi, half out of curiosity and half out of some expectation.

Perhaps Seulgi knows about the relationship between Sehee unni and Shinbi unni.

If so, since they are both women, she would know more about the intimate circumstances between the two than Siwoo…

-Perhaps she can use fortune-telling as a pretext to tell Siwoo about the intimate circumstances between the two…-

Seulgi began to look inside the crystal ball with a deep gaze.

**

“You seem to have enjoyed it all day?”

Seulgi, who was looking into the crystal ball, was speaking as if she could see something.

“Ah, well… because we went to have fun~”

Siwoo was slightly bothered by Seulgi’s expression ‘You seem to have enjoyed it’, but didn’t react much and moved on.

“The department store is quite big, isn’t it? Heh~ You even went to places like this?”

Seulgi was talking in front of Siwoo as if she was really watching yesterday’s scene.

“Wow~ You’re giving this as a gift?”

As Seulgi continued to speak, Siwoo was startled when the word ‘gift’ came out of Seulgi’s mouth.

Seyoung’s pajamas, Sehee unni’s lingerie underwear, and a black mesh t-shirt flashed through his head.

-Followed by his mother’s dog collar and sexy underwear…-

“Wait…wait a minute! Did I write about gifts on the survey too?”

Siwoo asked Seulgi in embarrassment because he had no memory of writing about gifts on the survey.

“You don’t have to write it, I can see everything~!! Because it’s real~!!”

Seulgi said with a playful smile, satisfied with Siwoo’s reaction.

“Wow~ it’s big… but you did something like this in front of Seyoung?”

Seulgi’s monologue continued.

Seulgi was talking as if she was really seeing what happened yesterday through the crystal.

If Seulgi heard about the object’s size from Siwoo’s friends, she would know about it.

The words ‘You did something like this in front of Seyoung’ can be applied to anything Siwoo did in front of Seyoung.

Siwoo had heard of something called ‘micro expression’ before.

A technique to read the other person’s mind by observing subtle expressions or gestures.

A psychological trick of throwing out any keyword and matching it to the story while observing the person’s reaction.

Until then, Siwoo was marveling at his experience with this kind of magic, but he was sure of Seulgi’s false acting.

He thought that the matching of keywords was only a probabilistic coincidence.

“Oh my~ Where did you get this kind of video?~ Did you get it from Cheoljin?”

“Huh?”

Siwoo’s mind went blank the moment the word video came out.

A keyword that only the person involved could know was uttered by Seulgi for the second time.

It was too accurate in describing what happened yesterday to be called a coincidence.

“Isn’t this too extreme? It must have been really hard for Sehee unni, since it’s her first time.”

Seulgi’s next words followed.

Siwoo’s pulse started to beat fast and cold sweat started to run down his spine.
