Outside, the loud sound of cicadas pierced my ears. I closed all the windows in the house so I wouldn’t hear that sound, and then turned on the air conditioner to relieve my frustration.

I was just trying to ventilate for a moment, but even ventilating seemed to have become difficult now.

What I have been desperately wondering since August is how I survive every summer. That was all I could think.

Well, even though it’s so hot now, when you think about the fact that you have to wear layers when winter comes, how can the weather and temperature be like that? The point was that it made me think.

Beep. The air conditioner, which had been running all night, started running again after a short break.

Ugh. The sound of the machine running filled the house again, and only then was I able to breathe comfortably.

After holding on to the hem of my clothes and fluttering around for a while, I felt cool just sitting still, so I just threw myself on the sofa and sighed.

“Ah… It’s so hot I’m dying.”

When I close my eyes and open them, I see a TV with only a black screen.

As I was looking at the TV screen for a moment, I saw a glimpse of myself reflected in the black screen that was showing nothing.

As I was looking at that scene blankly, a fact that I had almost forgotten immediately popped into my head.

I had about a month left until the semester started again. Thinking it was time to get ready, I rummaged through my pockets to find my smartphone.

A small screen caught my eye close to my gaze, and as I stared at it, I tapped the screen with my finger to check the contents inside.

It wasn’t a good idea to spend the summer like this meaninglessly, and I was anxious to do something because I thought I wouldn’t be able to keep what I said before.

I was planning to go to the sea with my sister.

It was good to go to the beach and have fun, or kill time at a hotel with a view of the sea, so it was important to go first.

As I was searching so intently, my sister came out of my room.

“… Haam, did you sleep well?”

He yawned and said, “I guess I was very tired yesterday,” and he seemed to be tired.

“Uh, are you awake? You must be tired. Sit here.”

“… Yes.”

My sister nodded at the dog’s words and came over to the sofa where I was lying down and sat down.

Are you watching TV? My older sister, who was tilting her head with a puzzled expression, realized that wasn’t true and quickly picked up the remote control and turned on the TV.

I guess he’s doing it because he thinks he has control over today’s TV.

Well, I didn’t really have any intention of stopping it, so I just stayed still and talked.

I asked, touching my sister’s bare thigh.

“What do you like about your sister? Playing in the sea? Or just a hotel?”

Actually, it didn’t matter either way.

No matter how hot it was, it felt different to go in and play in the sea water, so I had a strong thought that if I went in and came out right away, I wouldn’t even think about dying from the heat.

And if you don’t like it again, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to just not go and just face the view at the hotel.

Even though the accommodation is inside a hotel, what I was going to do and how I was going to stay was the most important part, so this was a real concern.

My older sister, who was sobbing, stared at me for a moment and then muttered.

“… Well, I like you better.”

“Really? Since we are going to the beach then, we can have some fun in the sea. I think I just need to bring some extra clothes.”

“Then let’s do that.”

“Noona, is there anything you want to do?”

“… Me, me in particular?”

Hmm. After thinking for a moment, I sighed and lowered the screen again.

Meanwhile, without resting my other hand, I pulled the body of my older sister, who was sitting on my right, so that she could lean towards me.

Even in the midst of all this, when I saw my older sister quietly leaning against my body without saying a word, I thought it was cute.

Of course, if you stay in a hotel, you won’t be able to see anything other than casual clothes or a little makeup.

But if you go to the sea, you can wear a swimsuit, so you can see something quite different.

Of course, if you are told to wear it inside the house, you can wear it. But still, the scenery is important.

“Then the beach… Since you’re going, do you want to buy a swimsuit?”

“Are you going?”

“It’s summer and I don’t think there’s any reason to go if it’s not now.”

“… hmm. Okay, okay.”

He seemed to think about it for a moment, but then immediately nodded, so it didn’t seem like he disliked it that much. I nodded, feeling fortunate, and my sister stretched out her hand and started changing the channels on the TV with the remote control.

It seemed like I was blankly watching and trying to find an interesting channel again.

I don’t know how long it took, but he finally turned off the TV, broke his posture, and lay down on my lap.

I wanted to lie down comfortably, but since I was taking up the space on the sofa where I could lie down, I wondered if I was going to lie down like this.

“So?”

My sister’s question came after that.

“What?”

“No, when are you going to buy a swimsuit?”

“… Should I go tomorrow?”

“It doesn’t matter.”

I nodded.

I guess it was a good story.

It’s not that urgent anyway.

I thought it would be perfect to go around mid-August, so I looked at the calendar and roughly calculated the date.

It’ll be okay. As I was thinking that, I immediately noticed the kiss mark left on the back of my sister’s neck.

When I looked at my smartphone and looked down, I saw my older sister resting her head on my thigh, so I couldn’t help but see the nape of her neck.

Now that my sister was lying down, there was no need to pull her in, so my hand went straight to her neck.

As I played with my sister’s neck as if I was not interested or indifferent, a moan came out from my sister.

“Why.”

My older sister said that, perhaps because she was resistant to the sudden touch to her neck.

“… No, should I go today?”

My sister and I both have free time anyway, so I thought it might be fun to go shopping.

When I heard those words, my sister must have felt like she had rushed her schedule, so she opened her eyes and started looking straight up at me from underneath me.

I made eye contact with my older sister and quietly waited for an answer.

“Well, since it’s free, I think I can just go… ”

After that, my older sister, who was hesitant to speak, turned her gaze again to the TV she had turned off.

It was really amazing to see my older sister not watching TV or using her smartphone, but just lying down like this.

Aren’t you bored? I thought about it, but since I had just woken up anyway, I thought it would be the best feeling to just stay asleep, so I left it alone.

Now, even if I take out my smartphone, there is no reason to hold it because there is no one to contact anyone through social media.

After that, my parents and I deleted most of our contact information and stopped using other social media, so it would be difficult to find something interesting to do even if we turned on our smartphones, so I thought it was a natural phenomenon that the time spent watching TV increased.

It was already past 10:30.

I didn’t eat breakfast, and it was lunch soon, but my stomach was strangely empty, and thoughts of eating something were swirling around in my mind.

It’s too late for breakfast and too early for lunch. How about just brunch? With that in mind, I turned my head.

“… Now that I think about it, I heard there’s a brunch place around here recently.”

“What are you selling?”

My older sister immediately asked me a question after hearing my muttered words.

I looked down in shock and saw my sister turning her head and looking back at my face.

I thought about how long he was going to stay like that on my lap, but I also thought that it was only natural that he was less averse to skinship with me, so I smiled.

I roughly brushed my sister’s hair.

“Um, like pancakes? I heard the sides are good too.”

“Pancakes… Good.”

“Now that I think about it, when was the last time I ate pancakes?”

“I don’t remember either.”

“Hmm,” I groaned and then roughly nodded my head.

“Then we can go eat now.”

“Wake up?”

“Yes, wake up.”

“Okay.”

My older sister, who had been talking for a while, started squirming and then stood up.

My knees became lighter and gave me a tingling sensation.

“Then I’ll be washing up.”

“Uh, wait a minute before that.”

“?”

I caught my older sister yawning while stroking her hair and pulled her hand towards me.

Their bodies getting closer soon made their mouths touch each other.

The moment our lips met in the morning, my sister’s eyes opened wide.

“What.”

“Morning kiss.”

“… You did it yesterday too, right? It already looks like I have a band-aid on my neck.”

My sister touched the back of her neck here and there, as if she was complaining.

There was one on my neck and one on my collarbone, so even if I had to use a bandage to cover it up, it was clear that I would only need to use one.

No, it’s summer. If it’s the collarbone, should I put it on the collarbone too?

Hmm, I thought about it, but I thought it wasn’t a topic for me to worry about, so I just smiled and let my sister go.
