“It was good!”

Yeah! I want to say “Cheers!” but that’s not it.

And now, I can’t do that anymore.

“Big. Nice.”

Anyway, the feast was prepared.

It’s not a luxurious table like in those historical dramas where ingredients are wasted unnecessarily.

Just right.

Interestingly enough, being just right is the most difficult.

There’s no just right everywhere. Salty is salty, bland is bland, and even if it fits perfectly, to someone else, it might feel too salty or too bland.

Isn’t it hard to just live ordinarily for no reason?

Where is the standard for ordinariness?

If you think about it, I’m quite an ordinary housewife.

“Oppa~ Come on in!”

“Oh… huh!?”

Is this what they mean by something surging from the heart?

Looking at the lady in the mirror, I thought I did well after practicing hundreds of times.

As a result, masculinity completely disappeared as a price…?

I don’t know who this Jie Woo person is anymore.

They say he’s famous for his generosity and wisdom.

A tiger leaves only its skin behind, while a person leaves only their name.

Oh. The name will disappear too.

“Hehe.”

By laughing brightly, reality is acknowledged.

That’s because Oppa was extremely surprised.

Yes. Oppa.

If you’re handsome, you become an Oppa, right?

Ah. But Ji Hyuk isn’t my brother.

No, he’s not. I’ll never call him brother.

“Bath first~☆”

Ah. That was too refreshing.

“Or maybe food first…♡”

Let’s add more love.

“Huh… What…?”

…It broke down.

Actually, maybe I didn’t have a talent for being a woman.

Maybe I made a mistake in the genetic spelling and was born as a man.

“Big….”

I still took hold of Oppa’s hand, who was looking bewildered.

Even though I prepared so diligently, it’s not entirely unexpected…

It’s a bit embarrassing. It feels like I did something strange. Strange, but.

“Do you want to eat? Or take a bath?”

“O… Let’s start with a bath today…”

“Okay. Let’s eat.”

“!?”

I’ll keep my face as it is.

Give me some reaction. Even if you’re bewildered, I want to be kind and say you’re pretty when you smile.

After overcoming countless hardships today.

It’s amazing how far we’ve come.

Enhancing the voice that flows into a man’s heart like a sniper, inheriting that unique voice of women when receiving a call, and wearing clothes that aren’t covered by an apron, opting for peculiar sleeveless tops and dolphin pants.

Squeezing the vocal cords and speaking through the nose… I don’t understand what that means… Why are the dolphin pants so short?

In the end, my voice came out, and that thing, which is nothing but panties, ended up being worn under the apron.

This… was what I aimed for.

Since there was no hair on my armpits or body, I didn’t need to shave, which was convenient.

“Oh… It’s a sumptuous feast.”

“Yes! I prepared a lot!”

In various ways.

I made everything that Hyung, oh, Oppa likes without leaving anything behind, and I made fewer things with short expiration dates that need to be eaten right away. Nothing goes to waste.

It was really tough. Unni helped me for a while and left in time for work.

I promised to grant her one wish, but this seems fair enough.

“Oh… It’s delicious.”

“That’s right. It’s delicious!”

I smile slightly, resting my chin on the back of my hand.

Doing this makes Oppa’s face look good.

“…It’s delicious.”

Oppa eats something delicious, smiles subtly, turns his head to look at me.

Why aren’t you looking at me?

I’m not a narcissist, but I look really pretty right now…!

“I… I’m delicious too.”

Ugh…! I want to say it…

How did I change like this?

Thinking about it, maybe we fit together quite well.

During the three months, it was difficult to find any flaws buried under his strengths.

If there is a flaw, it would be that he doesn’t speak well about his own difficulties.

So, marriage… I only realized after divorce, what’s up with that?

Anyway, that’s the end of the flaws.

Really none. Where did they go? I don’t know either.

Does a man have secrets he hides too… Hmm, I don’t know.

Since there are countless strengths now, I should just move forward without counting them all.

In the end, my brother almost ignored me until he finished eating.

“But, the time will come.”

In the end~ My brother will meet me, not in the same bed… but sleeping in the same room.

If there was one mistake, it was that I pushed too hard and we wouldn’t even make eye contact…

To make up for that mistake…

Just seduce more.

What to do. You may have given up sight, but your sense of smell and hearing are still intact.

Like me… huh. Getting drunk too.

I sprayed a perfume that is sweet, with a subtle fruity scent that unfolds like silk, ending with a refreshing touch.

Every means to feel me will be seduced.

Now show some interest.

If I did this much, you should fall for me a bit!

I’m all ready.

As I quietly checked if everything was okay with my body, the door opened.

“…Ah.”

“Come here.”

Sitting on the bed, he tapped my side lightly.

Oh. By the way, it’s my brother’s bed.

“Um….”

“Oh.”

“…Got it.”

A bit forceful, but if not, I’d run away.

Even if I ran away, where would I go since it’s a rented house… Should I wait then?

“Phew….”

“Oppa.”

“……”

This… wasn’t supposed to happen…!

Why cover your nose, mouth, and close your eyes as soon as you come next to me…!!

But it’s okay.

My brother was really flustered.

How can he escape once trapped in a trap.

“Uh… uh!!”

“Hey, where are you going!”

With strength.

Yes. I am a delicate woman.

“Huh?”

Feeling abandoned.

Soon, the sound of someone leaving, the slippers dragging on the floor, the door lock opening and closing automatically, confirmed my brother’s escape.

“Huff… Wait.”

I quickly picked up my phone and made a call.

…Ring… Ring….

The ringing continued for a long time.

Maybe they didn’t set a ringtone because it’s a waste. Or maybe they don’t know.

The long ringtone sound spread from the phone to my ears.

“Ugh… Was it too much…?”

10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds.

Thinking I might have left the phone somewhere, I blocked the sound from my phone and searched around for the source of the sound.

“It’s not here.”

I wondered if I forgot to switch it to vibrate mode, so I covered my ear with my hand to listen for the vibration sound.

Soon, a minute passed, and the minute hand on the phone’s clock moved.

I think it’s been 50 seconds by now.

“Oh my…”

Should I hang up and call again?

But if I call and they don’t pick up, they won’t pick up a second time.

Usually, they might be really busy or something, but not now.

If I run away and call, they won’t answer. On purpose.

When I fell into shallow thinking, 10 seconds had already passed.

If 30 more seconds pass, the call will be disconnected.

Instead of my brother’s voice, a mechanical voice will answer the phone and deliver a truly shocking message on behalf of me.

“Ugh….”

Honestly, yes.

It was right to approach slowly.

I was impatient.

I was wrong.

I.

No, I committed a great sin.

“Sniffle….”

I won’t do it again.

I was wrong.

Come back.

Don’t leave….

00:00

00:01

00:02

The opportunity.

The opportunity that seemed to disappear has arrived.

“I was wrong….”

In the continuing silence, I checked my phone again, and my brother was right.

“I’m sorry. I won’t do it again. Please come back. Forgive me….”

I don’t want to lose it like this.

At least. Yes. Starting from the lowest point…

That should work.

Slowly and steadily. Because I was really impatient.

Please….

[…sob.]

“Hic.”

[I got it.]

I got it. The call ended with a word.

The phone fell weakly, and even a drop fell from the moist eyes.

“Hoo…Huk….”

Quickly wiped away the water on the face and the ground.

It’s confusing that he’s crying when I’m the one who should be upset.

“Hiss….”

This coward. My brother is a coward.

Even if I give it to him, he can’t eat it.

I had such thoughts… but still, yes. I’m a fool.

Calling him “brother” was too soon. Let’s just go back to calling him “hyung.”

Took out an old men’s t-shirt that I knew wouldn’t fit.

Decided to just wear the sleeveless today and put the t-shirt over it.

The one that doesn’t stand out the most but still looks like men’s clothing.

Changed clothes and already heard the sound of my brother coming.

“Ha….”

Left the pants alone and picked up the phone again.

In a moment of confusion, I sat on my bed as the door opened.

“Huk…Ah.”

“Uh….”

“Hngk!…Hyung, I’m sorry. Huk…!”

Trying to find words to say, my brother lost his composure seeing me cry.

“…Sorry.”

Instead of me apologizing, I ended up receiving an apology.

“No. That’s enough! I’m too. Hic!”

“Ah, it’s okay. It’s okay… because I couldn’t accept it… Uh, that….”

Crying in anger!

Escaped from my brother due to the continuous crying.

Not outside, but to the bathroom.

I don’t think my brother will catch me if I run away.
