Before I knew it, Minhee was present in every aspect of my daily life.

There was hardly a moment without her, from when I opened my eyes next to her in the morning, when I went to the bathroom to wash my face, when I had breakfast, when I had lunch, when I went for a walk under the pretext of rehabilitation, and when I came back, had dinner, washed up, and went to sleep.

Since it was a cold winter and Minhee would take out the trash instead, I guess there was never a day when I didn’t have to go.

As I was slowly gaining weight by eating delivery food and the meals that Minhee made, Minhee spoke to me.

“Jimin-ah. Isn’t your hair too long?”

“Oh, that’s true, but… ”

At those words, I reflexively put my hand to my hair.

Even when I was living at home, I almost neglected my hair so I didn’t have time to cut it, and since I was sleeping in the hospital for a month, I had no time to take care of my hair so it grew long enough to go past my shoulders and reach my shoulder blades.

I guess I’m talking now that I can go out and walk around normally.

“Then let’s go to the beauty salon!”

“… I don’t have anything to wear?”

“Oh, that’s right. I just bought underwear.”

Since I had no reason to go out, I didn’t buy anything properly.

I just wore a short-sleeved T-shirt and shorts to wear at home. I didn’t really care because I had a boiler at home, but when I suddenly had to go out, I was in a difficult situation.

I was worried that my hair was too long, so I touched my hair. Then Minhee came over and touched my hair.

“It’s not weird, but I need to trim it. I also need to take nutritional supplements.”

Now that I think about it, I think I heard before that hair loss was due to lack of nutrition.

I remember the part where Min-hee felt sorry and worried because she accidentally cut off her hair every time she washed it.

I nodded, thinking that I would be indebted to you again, and that it would be a bit much to make you worry about me for no reason.

“… Yeah, okay.”

But even if I decided to do that, clothes didn’t just appear out of nowhere, so a beauty salon wasn’t that close.

I guess it should be after I buy a set of clothes.

There was no need to do this. I just thought that if I waited patiently, the time would come someday.

But Minhee didn’t seem to mind, so she ran straight to the closet and brought out some clothes fluttering in the wind.

“How about this!”

A pure white hoodie caught my eye.

I opened my eyes wide, wondering where on earth she had gotten that from, and Minhee chuckled and continued explaining it to me.

“It’s my clothes, but can I wear it?”

“… … .”

Well, that was true.

I was a bit shorter than Minhee, and I was even thinner than him.

First of all, my body was malnourished.

But something bothered me a little, because even though I was an adult, I was still shorter than her.

I was hesitating and unable to open my mouth, so I groaned and looked at her.

“… Are you okay?”

“What should be okay? I like everything.”

After saying that, Minhee came over and placed the white hoodie on my body.

I was sitting on the bed and shrugged my shoulders in surprise, but honestly, I couldn’t take my clothes off whether I straightened my shoulders or shrugged.

I should say it’s secretly big.

“That’s exactly right.”

“Isn’t it big?”

“Ah, it’s different when you wear it.”

Is that so? I tilted my head and quickly realized.

The clothes are thin now, and they should expand when they fit my body, so they should shrink accordingly.

Well, I guess so.

When I nodded with a trembling expression at Min-hee’s words, she came over to me with the feeling that it was decided, put her clothes around my neck, and tried to put her arms in my hands.

“Okay, okay, put your hands up quickly.”

“Uh, uh.”

I followed her clumsily, raised my hand, and put my arm into the clothes.

And then after I put on the clothes, the loose feeling was transmitted to my upper body.

Before I put the clothes on, they said it was normal for them to look big, so I thought they would fit perfectly, but that wasn’t the case.

Even his arms were longer than mine, so his palms were buried in his clothes.

“K, is it big?”

It was ambiguous to say anything, so I expressed my thoughts with a mixture of doubt and doubt.

Then Minhee nodded as if nothing had happened.

“I usually wear big. I’ll bring pants too.”

I didn’t have any clothes, so I ended up wearing Minhee’s clothes, jeans.

What was frustrating was that the clothes were bigger than my body.

They say that if you don’t get enough nutrition, you won’t grow well, so I frowned, wondering if that was the problem.

“Cute, cute. No problem at all.”

After saying that, Minhee also finished preparing to go out.

*

It’s winter. It must have snowed a little, because there was a crunchy layer of snow on the ground.

I wore Minhee’s clothes, Minhee’s spare padding, and Minhee’s sneakers.

I felt strange because there was no sense of discomfort.

Of course, it wasn’t a feminine outfit, but it was still a bit bigger than me, so it felt a bit odd.

“How are you? Is it cold?”

“… No. It’s warm.”

It can’t be helped that it’s cold outside, but I was grateful for the padding that kept my body warm.

But then I raised my head slightly, wondering if she should be worried about me instead of me.

She looked cold, wrapped in a thin jacket and long coat over a turtleneck, the complete opposite of my warm self.

“… Minhee, who, am I… not cold?”

I still haven’t figured out what to call it.

In the past, I thought, “Since she’s my older sister, I like her!” But since I wasn’t treated like that when we first met, I thought it would be better to treat her normally, so I couldn’t do anything about the delicate relationship and just blurted out words.

“Hehehe, it feels good to hear you say that. But call me whatever you want. And I’m warm enough for this.”

When I saw Minhee giggling at the word “noona,” I had a moment of thinking, “Is it better to call me noona next time?”

So we headed to our destination.

Daughter.

The bell on the door rang faintly.

As I was raising my head with curious eyes, wondering if it was to notice a customer coming into the store, Minhee started talking to the store owner.

“Welcome~ Oh, it’s been a while?”

“Oh, hello. It’s been a while.”

I hadn’t been here in a month, so I wondered how much of a regular I had to be for the owner to notice me.

Since I don’t go to the hair salon often, should I assume that I’ve been there for a long time?

“Is that your little sister?”

My face turned hot at the store owner’s voice.

I wondered, “No matter how long my hair is, it’s not to the point where people would mistake me for a woman,” but my mouth was broken and I couldn’t say anything.

“No, my boyfriend. He was in the hospital for a while, so his hair was long.”

Still, I thought it was fortunate that Minhee explained my situation to me instead.

Besides, I felt emotional when I heard that he was my boyfriend.

I never thought that the girl who always said, “Jimin, Jimin,” would call me her boyfriend.

I felt like that title told us where we stand now.

“… Woman, woman… ”

“Woman? I said I’m not your sister.”

Minhee whispered as if she was pleased to hear me speak in a voice as small as a rat’s tail, but I shut my eyes tightly and shouted inwardly.

That’s not it!

I also wanted to speak coolly and confidently like Minhee.

But since such opportunities don’t come often, it was really difficult.

“Ah, you’re in the hospital. What are you going to do?”

“Uh, um… ”

Minhee groaned for a moment at the president’s question, then started stroking my hair.

“Please cut it first…and give it some nutrition.”

“Nutrients for the cut? Okay.”

Cut? Nutrition? Huh? While I was thinking that, my body was pushed by Minhee and I walked straight into the store.

And it’s not holding my padding.

“I need to get a haircut, so let’s take off the padding.”

“Ugh, uh.”

I nodded and carefully took off my clothes, quickly revealing the white hoodie and jeans she had given me.

It wouldn’t be strange since it was Minhee’s clothes, but I was worried that it might look strange on me, so I looked around.

But it seemed like no one looked at me strangely.

“Then do you want to come this way?”

“Yes, yes.”

I nodded to the friendly words of the manager and sat down on the chair.

The boss touched my head and was shocked to see that my hair was damaged. He made an embarrassed expression and then started cutting it with the scissors with a serious expression.

like that.

like that…

“Jimin, Jimin! Wake up, you need to wash your hair.”

“Huh!”

“Phew.”

Did you fall asleep for a moment?

I was doing nothing and just looking at the mirror, but someone kept touching my hair, so I felt dizzy and fell asleep.

I opened my sleepy eyes to Minhee’s voice and tried to wake up by closing and opening my eyes several times, but my mind, once asleep, did not wake up easily.

As I watched the boss chuckle while holding back laughter, I felt a little embarrassed and lowered my head.

Having endured the mental assault of such a tough beauty salon, I blinked as if I had just woken up from a deep sleep.

My hair didn’t get better right away just because I did the nutrition, but it still looked better than before, which made me smile.

As I was looking at the mirror in front of the chair and taking a quick look at my hair after cutting it, Minhee came over and looked at my face in the mirror.

“… Yeah, it suits you well.”

“, thank you.”

If Minhee hadn’t taken me to a place like this, my hair would have been ruined to the point where it was falling out.

Of course, now there is no need to worry about nutritional deficiencies.

As I was muttering my thanks, I heard the boss’s voice behind me.

“That kid’s head hurts a lot, so he has to come two or three times a week.”

“What… ”

Going to the hair salon two or three times a week?

While I was frozen in shock, Minhee nodded naturally as if it was natural.

“Then I’ll bring you again the day after tomorrow.”

“You’re being extreme.”

“Right?”

Minhee said that and then gently pulled me into his arms.

Even though it was a store owned by a very friendly boss, I had doubts about whether it was okay to do something like this outside, but I didn’t hate it, so I just smiled bitterly.
