“Now that I think about it, where are you going to sleep that day?”

“Of course it’s a hotel, right? No matter how good the motel is, it still feels like it’s there… .”

“Really? Anywhere is fine for me, but if it’s a hotel, I’ll make a reservation.”

After putting the food into my mouth with a strange sense of satisfaction, I paused for a moment and asked my sister a question.

My sister closed her mouth and was silent for a moment, then tilted her head and answered.

After hearing my sister say that it was a hotel rather than a motel, I nodded and continued.

“Make it a good place. You can split the money half later. Choose a place you can afford?”

“Okay~”

My sister shrugged her shoulders and said.

It was a good place that I could afford, but it wasn’t a place I couldn’t afford, so there were a lot of places to choose from.

I took the smartphone I had put aside and turned on the screen.

As I flicked my finger down while searching for a hotel, my sister stopped and looked at me intently.

“Why?”

“150,000 won per night would be okay, right?”

“What… That’s about it.”

Matching my sister’s gaze, I also stared at her quietly.

My sister blinked once or twice, then tilted her head and asked me.

I tilted my hand, showed the smartphone screen, and asked my sister for her opinion. Then my sister slowly nodded her head in the affirmative.

I hummed and made hotel reservations for the 22nd and 23rd.

I felt a little excited. Going to a bar with my sister for the first time and staying at a hotel was something I had to stop imagining until last year.

“Did you do your homework today?”

“Uh… I haven’t done it yet.”

“Isn’t there 3 lectures today?”

“That’s right.”

My sister stayed quiet for a moment as if she was lost in thought.

Then he opened his eyes, looked at me, and opened his mouth.

It’s an assignment out of the blue. My sister and I come in at the same time, and there’s not much of a difference in time, so what assignment do they want us to do?

I answered my sister’s words while breaking out in a cold sweat.

After hearing my answer, my sister let out a sighing sound like “hmmm.”.

“Ah, that’s right, sister. Do you know a brother named Seong Ha-jin from class of ’18?”

“Hajin? You know~ I know that I got an F in one class during my freshman year because I was absent due to illness… Why?”

“I lent you my notebook during today’s lecture, and you bought me a caramel macchiato, right?”

“He’s kind of nice.”

To change the topic, I brought up the story of a senior in my class who I met during the day.

When my older sister heard the name Seong Ha-jin, she blinked and waved her hand in the affirmative. And then he told the same story he heard during the day.

As I brought up the story like that, I started to feel a little uneasy.

“But, are you close with that guy?”

“I guess we’re close… . Because I’m trying to study hard, I talk often.”

“I see.”

Is Senior Hajin close with your older sister? I thought about asking a little more, but she answered as if it was no big deal.

Why is it so uncomfortable to talk like that?

I put the empty lunch box aside and leaned forward to take a look at my sister.

“Is he good at studying?”

“Why? Should I learn from him?”

“No, you can study from your older sister, so why bother.”

“Yes, yes.”

I wondered if my older brother had approached my older sister under the pretext of studying, so I asked him a sharp question.

However, my sister was not swayed by my pace and answered my questions normally.

I pursed my lips and turned my head. Then he glanced at his sister again and then shifted his gaze.

When my sister saw me, she smiled as if she was satisfied with something and piled the empty lunch boxes on top.

“Sister, what happened to the person you confessed to before?”

“Uh… I brought it today because I said something to you before.”

I let out a small sigh. And at the same time, he tapped his fingers on the table nervously.

My sister listened to me and shrugged her shoulders and answered lightly.

There were many men who were secretly attracted to my older sister, so I couldn’t let down my guard. It was impossible for someone else to like my sister.

That’s why it was necessary to kill the man who approached my sister long ago.

However, if I kept asking questions like this every day, my sister would get tired and there was a possibility that she would just lie and say it was annoying later on. Therefore, this method had to be done occasionally.

“Hansol. Isn’t that asking too much?”

“Uh, why?”

“I thought you were delving too deeply into my friendship.”

“Isn’t your sister sensitive? You can ask questions like this sometimes, right?”

As I was planning the next time, my older sister rested her chin, looked at me intently, and said something sharp.

It felt like I got hit while riding. I reacted to my sister’s words as if I was surprised.

As much as my older sister was good at studying, she was also very quick-witted.

To evade my sister, I shrugged my shoulders and distorted my expression, asking why she was reacting that way to something that was not a big deal.

“… is it? Don’t you usually ask questions like this?”

My older sister, looking at me, moved her head as if creaking.

Since they were far from ordinary siblings, they seemed to be wondering if this was right because they did not have the right specimen.

My older sister, who saw my confident appearance and the facial expressions and gestures that seemed like it was no big deal, hesitated and opened her mouth, as if she wasn’t sure.

On the contrary, if you go out in such a shameless manner, it becomes difficult for your sister to be convinced.

I realized one fact and made eye contact with my sister. When I deliberately made eye contact with my sister, she looked into my eyes for a moment, but soon avoided her gaze with a mixture of hesitation.

“I know because I see my sister a lot, but sometimes she overreacts like this.”

“Really? I guess I just overlooked it at that time.”

“I realized too late that my sister was overreacting, so I didn’t tell her. You can’t bring up the past.”

“It was like that… .”

When I brought up the past and pointed out my sister’s behavior, she glanced at me and bit her lip.

I continued my momentum and pushed my sister.

Then my sister was so discouraged that she lowered her head. My sister’s voice sounded a little more timid than before.

If it were a cat, its ears would have looked droopy.

“It’s okay. It doesn’t matter as long as I don’t go somewhere else.”

“Are you okay?”

“What am I? It’s not like I’ve seen you for a day or two, so I’m not going to get upset over something like that. Don’t be too intimidated. I was just saying it.”

I continued speaking to cheer up my sister.

My sister shook her head at my words. He lifted it up and made eye contact with me.

I shrugged my shoulders and answered. He appealed that he understood his sister and at the same time showed that he was considerate of her.

A quick-witted older sister would understand this.

“Yes. I’ll be careful next time.”

My sister’s confidence was broken, and she seemed to have decided to accept my words, as she gave me a grateful look and a smile appeared on her face.

I looked at my sister with gentle eyes.

I felt a little strange at the thought that I could control my older sister with just one word.

My older sister has her own pace. Even my older sister had a lively personality, so other people were often caught up in her pace.

However, it was an amazing sight to see my sister being swayed by my words, lowering her head and bending her convictions.

“You have nothing to be sorry about.”

“Aren’t you angry because I reacted sensitively? My expression hardened a little.”

“Oh, no.”

“Hey. Is that so?”

I waved my hands as if it was nothing and leaned against the back of the chair.

My older sister looked at me and this time she leaned her upper body forward.

My sister turned to face me, looked at my expression here and there, and then smiled.

I turned my head to hide my expression, but my sister continued to look and then returned to her original position and snorted.

“Your younger brother has such a cute side.”

“Isn’t it suddenly too much… ? People can do that.”

If I pushed my sister too much, she might get suspicious, so I carefully returned to my normal relationship and moved on as if nothing had happened. He acted as if nothing had happened.

As usual, I told the story as I was being swayed by my older sister.

Just as the saying goes, “You don’t know how wet your clothes are when it rains,” my sister was slowly melting into my lies.

In a natural conversation, my sister, who did not notice the natural lie, slowly melted into my words.

“Anyway, so senior Hajin is good at studying?”

“Just so-so. Still, I try to work hard.”

“What is it? sister. Aren’t you being mean to your sister just to get work done?”

“ek. No way. He said he would create a study group just to study.”

I returned to the beginning and asked again the question I had quietly overlooked.

This time my sister answered honestly. It seemed like he was paying a little attention to that one comment I made earlier about whether he was reacting too sensitively.

My older sister, who didn’t let the question slip, didn’t notice anything strange and just spoke normally.

That senior can’t even study, so why are you trying to study while being mean to your older sister?

I thought it would be safer to leave a little distance between them. He put his arms on the table and wiggled his eyebrows as if reciting instructions to his sister.

My sister, no way. He made a disgusted expression.

“You never know. These days, people say they create study groups and find friends of the opposite sex a lot. One of my friends said that she always meets men like that.”

“Really? There are people like that.”

In order to instill anxiety in my sister, I created people who did not exist and created cases where none existed.

Since there is no evidence anyway, she will have no choice but to believe what I say.

Even though I couldn’t tell her to leave right away, I felt like these words would be an opportunity for my sister to distance herself a little.

Senior Hajin is a good senior. He was a good senior and a very considerate older brother. Therefore, I had to be careful about getting closer to my older sister.

“That’s right. There are people like that too. Be careful.”

“Okay. I’ll be careful.”

I couldn’t stay still because I knew that if my sister had something to focus on, she would immediately cut off our relationship with me.

With the determination that I couldn’t send my sister away, I carefully told a lie.

After hearing what I said, my sister nodded and her eyes lit up with an expression that made her realize something.

“Now it’s time to take a shower.”

“Wash and study?”

“Ungh. I’m going to wash up first, and then study. Sister, do you want to shower together?”

After speaking so hard, I felt a little tired.

I took a deep sigh and looked at the clock. Perhaps because we ate and talked so hard, quite a bit of time passed.

I stretched out and threw the empty lunch box into the trash can. Then I took a change of clothes and headed to the bathroom.

“Umm.”

“ character. If you have anything you’re sorry about today, just come in.”

“Kya!?”

My sister seemed to be a little hesitant, as she pursed her lips and seemed to be thinking deeply about something.

I put my spare clothes aside and gently approached my sister.

Then he wrapped his arms around his sister’s waist and dragged her into the bathroom.

My sister was startled and screamed, but when she heard me, she kept her mouth shut.

“Open, it’s a weekday. Are you going to do it today too?”

“Why? Not so good?”

“No, that’s not it. I wonder if the number of times has increased even on weekdays these days. If you think about it, you did it yesterday too.”

“Yes, but once a day isn’t okay? I made it a habit and felt empty if I didn’t do it.”

My older sister, who was dragged into the bathroom, spoke to me in gibberish.

When I asked succinctly, my sister glanced at me as if she was watching me.

“character.”

“Wow!”

I immediately turned on the water in the shower and sprayed it on my sister.

My sister, who had just been hit with water, was like a wet mouse, her clothes were wet and her skin was showing through.

My older sister, who was suddenly hit with water, screamed in surprise, and then let out a frustrated sound, saying “uuu.

“Are you restraining yourself because I heard you’re sensitive?”

“… Noisy. If it were you, wouldn’t you care?”

“I’m sorry. But it’s because I notice my sister being too observant.”

“I’m sorry… .”

“But even if I’m angry now, it doesn’t mean I’m sensitive.”

As I looked at my sister who was moaning quietly, I lifted her chin and made her look at me.

My sister tried to avoid my gaze but eventually looked at my face.

I raised the corners of my mouth and looked at my cute older sister’s actions. Even my sister, who was completely shocked, fell in love with me.

My older sister seemed to be losing the right moment to get angry.

It is sensitive. After hearing the words, the next time my sister got angry, she was blocked by the words, ‘Am I that sensitive?’, so she couldn’t get angry.

My sister looked at me with a helpless expression.

I loved my older sister like that, so I held her chin and kissed her.
