“Sis, I actually have another…sex buddy.”

“What? What did you just say?!”

“I’m sorry. I wanted to tell you sooner, but I was afraid of hurting you, so I…”

“That’s it! I’m disappointed, Han Jihoon! Don’t contact me again!”

“Sis, wait! Don’t go, just listen to me! Sis! Yiseo, wait!”

===

“Yiseo! Huff… huff…!”

He’d had a nightmare.

A nightmare where Yiseo cut him off after learning about his other sex buddy.

He felt like the sky was falling a moment ago, but as soon as he opened his eyes and realized it was a dream, he couldn’t help but sigh in relief.

“Whew… it was a dream.”

“What dream?”

“Sis?!”

He was startled by the sudden voice.

Coming to his senses, he realized Yiseo was in his arms, where he was sleeping naked.

“Haa… Sis. You startled me.”

Perhaps it was because he was grateful that she was still by his side, unlike in his dream, but he hugged her tightly without realizing it.

“Yiseo…”

“What, what is it? Did you have a scary dream?”

Yiseo looked up at him, equally flustered, asking that, so he hugged her even tighter and answered.

“Yeah… I did. A scary dream. I thought I was going to die because it was so scary.”

“How scary could it have been? By the way, do you know you called my name when you woke up?”

“I did?”

“Yeah. It reminds me of when you were in middle school. Back then, you would tearfully look for me whenever something happened.”

Yiseo chuckled, reminiscing about the old days.

Thanks to that, he was able to calm his surprised heart to some extent.

“…But why are you in this room?”

This was the room the aunt told him to sleep in, and Yiseo had fallen asleep in her own room.

But now, she was lying next to him, dressed and looking neater than before she fell asleep.

“What’s wrong with it? This is my house too, it’s my business.”

“Where’s the aunt?”

“She went out because she had something to do. Fortunately, she doesn’t know what we did yesterday. She said she slept soundly last night for the first time in a while.”

Although it was the expected result, he pretended to be hearing it for the first time and replied.

“Really? That’s a relief.”

“Let’s eat a little later. Eat now if you’re hungry.”

“No, I’m okay.”

“Then should we stay like this a little longer?”

She buried her face in his chest and inhaled his scent.

It seemed that was also her purpose for coming into this room.

While she enjoyed his scent, he fell into serious thought with a grave expression.

‘…Should I tell her now?’

Now that the aunt was gone, it was an appropriate time to talk to her.

But he hesitated because he hadn’t thought about what to say yet.

In fact, he and Yiseo were in a quasi-romantic relationship, though they hadn’t said so.

In that situation, the news that he had another sex buddy would never be welcome to her.

That was why he had been agonizing over it countless times, and still was.

‘…No. I’ve already put it off several times. I really have to tell her now.’

Finally steeling his resolve, he sat up and said to her.

“…Sis. I have something to tell you.”

“What is it, all of a sudden?”

Feeling the unusual tone in his voice, she straightened her posture.

“Is it serious?”

“…Yeah.”

“Go ahead and tell me. I’ll listen.”

“Can you promise me one thing before you hear it? Don’t leave or anything in the middle of the talk, and listen to the end.”

He made the request because he didn’t want to experience the situation from his dream again.

Fortunately, she didn’t refuse.

“Okay. I’ll listen to the end.”

“….”

Waiting for him to open his mouth, she looked at him.

Even at this moment, he wondered if he should gloss over it by saying it was nothing, but he moved his lips with the thought that he shouldn’t run away any longer.

“Actually, I… have another sex buddy besides you.”

“What? What did you just say?!”

His heart sank at the same reaction as in his dream.

Her brown eyes, trembling with bewilderment, were exactly the same as what he’d seen in the dream.

But, as promised, she didn’t get angry and run out as soon as she heard it.

Instead.

“Hey… what does that mean? That you have another person. Then what about me? You know what happens to me without you…”

Tears began to well up in her eyes.

He hurriedly continued speaking to clear up her misunderstanding.

“It’s not like I’m saying we should end our relationship. I still like you, and I will continue to. I just want to maintain a relationship with that person too. Not as lovers, but as sex buddies…”

“….”

Her gaze, which had been on him, slowly dropped.

From her lips, which twitched as if she was about to speak, he could tell how confused she was.

Of course, he didn’t feel comfortable seeing this.

“Umm, it’s a girl I happened to meet, and she’s lived a very lonely life because of her circumstances since she was young. She said she could escape loneliness if she did it with me, so I couldn’t refuse…”

To make her understand and reassure her, he wanted to explain Yuna’s story and what happened with her in more detail.

However, he couldn’t talk about someone else’s story as he pleased, and Yuna had also requested that he not talk about her.

“….”

A silence as cold as ice filled the room.

The words she spoke after being lost in thought for a long time were unexpected.

“Could it be… that I’m not enough to satisfy your sexual desire?”

“Huh?”

“I know you have a kind personality and can’t refuse people who are having a hard time. But even so, becoming sex buddies is a bit strange.”

“That’s…”

“If you think about it, I was always the one who got tired and fell asleep first after we did it. Is it because it was hard to be satisfied with just me that you made another person…?”

Frankly, that wasn’t the case at all.

He had never once thought that she wasn’t enough while having a relationship with her.

However, he couldn’t explain that he had to create a new partner because of the SexWiki app.

He would rather have her understand with that reason, but he wasn’t sure that would be the case.

“…I guess I’m right.”

Just as he was about to explain one more time that it was because he couldn’t leave the lonely Yuna alone.

“…Okay.”

He couldn’t help but ask back with a dumbfounded expression at the unexpected answer.

“Huh? Really?”

“What can I do when your sexual desire can’t be controlled? You understood my perverted fetishes too. So, I have to understand you too…”

Surprisingly, her expression and voice were calm.

Though a subtle sense of discomfort was conveyed, it felt like she was dealing with this issue with reason rather than emotion.

“To be honest, it’s hard to understand… but I’ll try. Just make sure the time I have with you doesn’t decrease from before.”

“Okay, Sis!”

Without realizing it, he grabbed her hand with a happy heart.

To want to have two partners at the same time.

It wasn’t easy to readily accept such an abnormal request.

He was so grateful that she was trying to understand him, despite that.

“It’ll be the same as it’s always been with you. And it’s definitely not your fault! It’s because I’m excessively horny. I’m really sorry and thank you.”

“It’s okay, what’s with you? Wash up so we can eat.”

He thought too little of her.

He had to do his best for her in the future, as much as she had yielded.

“I’ll wash up quickly, just wait a little. Let’s get ready together.”

“It’s okay. This is my house, so I should prepare it. Take your time washing up.”

Yiseo stood up from the bed and left the room.

Looking at her cool back, it felt like the worries he had been having were melting away.

Thanks to that, he was able to enter the bathroom with a relaxed heart.

===

As the two were having a meal, Park Yuna was lying on her bed in her room, looking at the photos she had taken with Han Jihoon.

“Ehehehe.”

Without realizing it, a silly smile came out.

The two of them were naked and lying side by side on the bed, looking at the camera.

Looking at that figure, she couldn’t help but smile.

‘I really didn’t know I would come to like this person this much.’

A warm-hearted person who forgave her for trying to use him.

A kind person who understood and embraced the pain she had.

Because Han Jihoon was such a person, Park Yuna was enjoying a sense of happiness these days that she had never felt before.

“He’s really too handsome…”

She felt so good that she felt like she could fly away any moment.

Although this man had a woman he liked separately, she could continue to be by his side.

However, Park Yuna had no intention of being satisfied with the current relationship.

‘…I’m definitely going to date Jihoon.’

Certainly, she had promised Han Jihoon.

That she would continue to like him in the future, but wouldn’t make things difficult for him.

It meant that she wouldn’t confess to Han Jihoon or pester him to accept her feelings, but that didn’t mean she would give up on her dream of becoming lovers.

‘Even if I don’t confess, I can just make his heart naturally turn to me, right?’

If Han Jihoon was in a romantic relationship with the woman he liked, Park Yuna would have been satisfied with the current relationship.

But wasn’t she also one of Han Jihoon’s sex buddies, just like her?

This was a fair competition to compete for a man she liked.

‘Now, Jihoon is everything to me. I have to subtly appeal to him and make him like me.’

With that resolution, Park Yuna couldn’t take her eyes off the photo she took with him.

===

Meanwhile, the two people’s breakfast-cum-lunch wasn’t much different from usual.

Han Jihoon made a fuss about how delicious the meal that his sister made was, and Kang Yiseo was shy but didn’t show any signs of disliking it.

Just like that, as if nothing had happened, they finished their meal, said goodbye, and Han Jihoon returned home.

“Haaaa…!”

Kang Yiseo, who returned to her room, buried her face in the pillow with a sigh that sounded like she was about to collapse.

‘What should I do…!’

Han Jihoon had another sex buddy.

Not just a regular female friend, but a sex buddy.

So, that meant that he was doing those kinds of activities that he had been doing with her with another woman.

“Ughhhhh!”

Unable to control her frustrated heart, she kicked her feet on the bed.

She had pretended to be fine in front of Han Jihoon, but it was literally just pretending.

Inside, she felt like the sky was falling.

‘I should have just said I didn’t like it…!’

In fact, while she was talking to him, she struggled dozens of times over whether to say it wasn’t okay.

But she couldn’t do it because she was scared.

‘Jihoon understood me… what if he’s disappointed that I don’t understand him.’

As he said, Han Jihoon understood and accepted Kang Yiseo’s perverted fetish for scents.

The fact that she was living a normal life, and even spending exciting and happy days, was all thanks to that man.

But she was afraid that she would look like a brazen woman if she acted unreasonably because she liked him.

She was afraid that the favor that Han Jihoon had shown her would disappear.

“Agh, really…!”

Kang Yiseo scratched her head in frustration.

She knew what the best thing to say in that situation was.

“I like you.

I’ll somehow solve your desires.

Break it off with your sex buddy and date me.”

If she said this, everything would be solved, but in the end, she swallowed it back.

The fear that if they dated and broke up for some reason, their relationship would end.

The reason that had scared her since the past was holding her back again this time.

‘I’m really an idiot… I can’t do anything either way…’

She had always prided herself on having a cool personality, but she became a timid coward when it came to Han Jihoon.

She hated herself for that, but she couldn’t help it because he was so precious to her.

‘Another sex buddy besides me…’

She already had a lot of worries, but a new concern arose due to an unexpected situation.

What if Han Jihoon’s feelings for her cooled because of her frustrating actions?

What if he developed a stronger liking for the new sex buddy than for her?

It was a terrible ending for Kang Yiseo, to the point that tears welled up in her eyes just from imagining it.

‘…This won’t do!’

If she acted lukewarm like she had been doing, his heart might really go to another woman.

The best way to prevent such a situation was to boldly confess to him and become official lovers.

However, since she wasn’t brave enough to do so yet, it was necessary to keep his favor directed at her until she had the courage to confess.

‘I have to be proactive from now on. So that Jihoon keeps looking at me.’

She clenched her fist and strengthened her resolve, but she didn’t know how to start.

‘Should I search the internet?’

She diligently moved both thumbs to find information.

The eyes looking at the phone screen were burning with determination, like a soldier going to war.
