Episode 78: Noona Can Also Become a Parent.

“Hmm…”

[Why do you ask?]

“Point, is this correct?”

[Yes.]

The current system was showing the points.

So, it was showing the points I had earned so far, excluding the consumption points.

[250,350 points]

If someone saw it, they might not have known that I had already filled up more than half.

[You’ve already filled up more than half. Congratulations.]

Such a foolish thought.

It was too early to be happy about filling up more than half.

It was truly a level of stupidity beyond compare.

[Please refrain from swearing. I can hear everything.]

“Oh, I know.”

It was intentional swearing.

So, the world is in chaos.

Isn’t this disaster happening because I called for an outsider?

It’s a level of concern where I’m debating whether to create a manual before I die.

Anyway.

A sigh escaped at the ambiguous points.

Life span? Okay, it’s extended.

Money? It’s good to have some. Okay.

However.

I was ambivalent about having harvested two out of the three important souls.

Of course. With time and effort, I could harvest them again.

However.

The perception itself was different.

The remaining soul was Han Seyeon.

Can she alone fill up around 200,000 points… I don’t know.

[Please have a little more patience.]

“I want to, but…”

Korean specialty.

Efficiency freaks.

What can you do? I was Korean.

Apart from the anxiety about the remaining lifespan.

If I gather 500,000 points, I’ll be liberated from the deadline-bound life.

It was human nature to want to gather and settle as soon as possible, even if it’s just for a day.

Did I talk with the system about random things?

My smartphone vibrated.

– Noona [Two bottles of soju and four cans of beer. Is this enough?]

– Me [Yeah. I think one can of beer is enough for me.]

– Noona [Got it.]

It was 7 o’clock.

Whether it was because it was Saturday or because the scene was in the final stages.

When I came home after the date.

Noona was already home from work and doing household chores.

The awkward atmosphere lasted for a moment.

Finally, I thought today was the day and asked her to run an errand.

Han Seyeon’s secret.

Please tell me about alcohol!

In the end.

I had no choice but to use the emergency plan.

It was a drink I had never tried before.

Of course, I had to learn from the adults at home, right?

So.

We agreed to drink in moderation.

That was the current situation.

“I’ll be back in a bit, okay?”

[Yes.]

“Okay.”

I started preparing.

It wasn’t Parents’ Day, it was just the day before, but who cares?

Han Seyeon had never received a gift on Parents’ Day.

The surprise effect would surely be impressive.

As expected.

Was it because she was my real sister?

It felt like the thickest wall.

Anyway.

I started the operation.

A large gift box I brought.

As soon as I saw it, I thought it was perfect.

I tied a ribbon around it, loosely tied it like a gift, and carefully got inside the box.

Then closed the door slowly…

“How do I look? Do I look like a gift?”

[You look cute.]

“No, do I look like a gift?”

[You look lovely.]

“Hey.”

[It doesn’t look like a gift. Except for what I want to eat.]

“Are you in heat? You’re harassing me every chance you get.”

[I will be stronger.]

“Sorry.”

I messed up.

Just give me a break.

I can hear footsteps.

***

With soju and beer.

And a bag of simple snacks in hand, I walked down the stairs.

It was a familiar path leading home.

It really felt like a lot of time had passed.

To think that my younger sister would suggest having a drink.

Just half a year ago, she was so cold and indifferent.

It was really… fortunate.

To have conversations like this, to feel happiness.

It was truly fortunate.

-Swish, swish.

The hand holding the plastic bag.

The sound of two soju bottles clashing echoed.

Normally, I would have avoided it to protect my wrists.

But my hand, without any pain, felt strangely awkward.

Anyway, I arrived home.

I entered the door code and pulled the door open.

At that moment.

“Huh?”

What’s this?

There was a square box.

Definitely not small in size.

Bigger than the shoe rack.

Is that all?

A harmony of white and red.

It looked like a box you would see in a game.

With a click, the door closed.

The once bustling house fell silent, except for the rustling sound.

Thump, thump.

The box trembled a few times.

Naturally, an image formed in my mind.

Unconsciously, a smile crept onto my face.

I wondered who could be inside.

Then.

“Ta-da!”

“…Sein?”

For some reason.

After saying she wanted to drink, there was a reason she was kicked out of the house.

Was it because of the slightly late arrival of my sister?

My sister’s figure was fully revealed.

When I asked why she was acting like this, she answered in a shy voice.

“My, tomorrow… is Parents’ Day.”

Her face turning redder.

It started to change like a box.

Tying the ribbon awkwardly.

Her outfit was the same as usual.

Tight pants and a baggy T-shirt.

But.

Her head, arms, body, thighs.

Seeing the ribbons wrapped all over her body…

It felt like she was presenting herself as a gift.

At that moment.

My sister raised both arms.

Brightly smiling, she said.

“Thank you for raising me, sis!”

“….”

Thump, thump.

My sister. Does Han Sein know?

That kind of visual.

An action full of innocence without any ulterior motives.

Even a sister who didn’t care, turned into a wolf.

It stirred up my sexual desire.

My heart raced rapidly like a drumbeat.

“Big sis?”

-Click.

Setting down the bought alcohol.

I grabbed the doorknob and turned it.

And.

-Clang.

I closed it after leaving.

As the door closed, a cold chill was felt from the feet touching the ground.

-Clang clang clang, clang clang clang.

[Sis? Sis?!]

“Ha, haa, haa…”

Droplets.

My body melted.

Leaning against the door.

All my strength drained away, and I slumped to the ground.

I need to calm down.

She’s my sister. That’s what she is.

Absolutely. Absolutely.

The feeling I’m experiencing right now is something that can never be realized.

Legally impossible, morally impossible.

Literally.

If executed, it would be an act no different from that of a beast.

“Haaak… haa…”

I took a deep breath.

To calm my heart full of excitement.

And.

My cold reason was shouting to calm down the flustered sister.

[Sis?]

The pounding sound coming from behind.

Eventually, my sister’s trembling voice was heard.

“Just, just a moment! Just, just a minute…”

[Okay…]

Haaah.

A sigh escaped.

A headache arose, and I ruffled my hair with both hands.

An overwhelming and deadly visual.

For a moment.

I almost forgot she was my sister.

My heart raced with excitement and anxiety.

That was the reason I opened the door and ran away.

A little.

If I had seen her a little more.

I would have definitely lost my reason.

Because I would have left a big scar on my only family, my beloved sister.

[Kwah!]

The memory of that stormy night flashed back.

Breathing became increasingly difficult.

It was painful and difficult.

Because I could only rely on my will as a sister.

So, I had to push away.

My one and only sister who was approaching.

[Sob…]

Gently touching his cheek.

Tears streaming down his eyes.

His hands, with nowhere to go, hesitated before finally reaching towards himself.

And then, they fell to the ground.

His deceased father.

His mother, who only drank.

In the midst of it all, he could only trust himself.

Slapped and pushed away.

“Sigh, sigh…”

Knowing that his younger brother only had himself to trust.

Knowing that.

He momentarily pushed him away, claiming it was difficult and painful.

Painful memories kept resurfacing.

Yet.

Despite the discomfort and twisted emotions gnawing at his heart.

He couldn’t erase those memories.

The name of that emotion was love.

“……”

-Tap, tap tap. Tap.

-Clank.

“Sister? You scared me when you suddenly left.”

“Sorry.”

Love as a family?

It wasn’t.

“Look at this, sister.”

“Ah…”

A smile tinged with a sigh emerged.

Black, how did he know she liked it and chose the color so carefully?

Around 14 ounces?

It was definitely not cheap.

70% of his monthly allowance.

He knew better than anyone how much money to give his younger brother.

Wanting to give as much as possible, but unable to do so in reality.

“I hope to start boxing again… There’s no news yet, but… I’ll let you know tomorrow!”

“……”

Squirm, squirm.

His heart raced.

No, it twisted.

The name of the emotions that surged, boiled, and rose in his chest.

It was love.

“Tha…nks.”

“Since you practically raised me… a, and I’m an adult now!”

“I see…I see.”

“Yeah. Because I’m an adult. I really wanted to give you a gift. You’ve grown up, right?”

Ta-da.

As if he was about to hug her.

With his arms wide open.

From head to toe.

He captured his appearance with his eyes.

From the time when he clung to him.

To the time when he supported his dreams.

It had been a long time.

That’s why.

-Squeak, squeak.

Instead of family love, he had to suppress and contain ‘romantic love’ even more.
