A bustling afternoon passes by.

If you’re going to waste your time just sitting around like this, then you should at least get a diploma from school.

If you have no intention of returning to school, you should learn how to work like your father.

My parents nagged me, asking me to at least say something about what I wanted to do.

My head started hurting from my parents’ bitter nagging that started as usual.

And as I always do, I made excuses and changed the subject.

However, there was no particular complaint to Arami, who was unemployed like me.

This is all just a foolish belief that things will work out well on their own, but from my perspective, this also came as stress.

Moreover, I thought it would be fun in its own way if my parents found out that the girl they believed in was actually a girl who showed off her tits on internet broadcasts and received sponsorship money from men.

As I endured the itching in my mouth, time passed and it was almost evening.

“Then, will you come home by 12 o’clock tomorrow? I think it would be better to eat before leaving.”

“… If you’re going to go in two cars anyway, wouldn’t it be better to just leave separately? If you stop by home here, you’ll have to take a detour.”

“Hey! You want me to eat the food your mom makes for you after a long time? Do you hate your mom’s food that much? And you ride in the same car with me.”

“Oh, who said no? It’s already a long distance, so I’m just saying I’ll cut down on driving.”

The gazes of my family, who looked at me as if they found my grumbling pitiful, stung.

I tried to ignore it and wiggled my fingers.

” Do you want to come alone?

“Hehehe… I like it.”

“Then, should my daughter just come with us now?”

I thought that might be okay too.

Since we were going on a trip together anyway, it might have been okay if the time I spent seeing A-reum’s face was reduced even a little.

Of course, this is assuming that he doesn’t say anything bad in front of his parents, but given the current mood, it doesn’t seem like he’ll make a sudden move.

“Ah… No. I’ll drive and take you all, Downie… with me.”

“Oh my, my daughter is so kind, unlike anyone else. Mom will prepare lots of delicious food tomorrow.”

That girl Park A-reum was absolutely disgusting in front of her parents.

It occurred to me that he really could say such things in front of me.

“Oh, but are you going now? What about the meal?”

“Would I shamelessly get a meal? I saw you in the kitchen earlier, and it looks like you need to go shopping right away.”

“Hehehe… I could just order delivery… .”

“We’re okay, don’t worry too much. Love, shall we go now?”

My parents were about to head home in time for dinner.

I was about to go out to meet her because I had been waiting for her so desperately, but Sarang’s mouth, which had been hesitating next to me, opened.

“Ah… … That… By any chance… Is it okay if I sleep here with you today, and I, I can meet you again tomorrow…?”

“Oh my! Really? Well, isn’t it better to have a sister and brother than an auntie and uncle like this?”

“Oh, no! That’s not it… Since it’s been a while since we last met… I wanted to talk a little more… .”

“Of course we’re okay. What about your son and daughter?”

Everything starts to go in a strange direction due to the ambush called love.

Of course, it wasn’t easy to refuse because I knew the difficult circumstances well.

And the way A-reum and I looked back and forth to each other and checked each other’s moods was a little cute, so I couldn’t help but let out a small smile.

“Hehehe… I’m okay. Hey, you.”

“… I’m okay too. Then tomorrow, the three of us will go home together.”

“Haha, it’s nice to see you guys getting along like before. Well, Dad and Mom will go first, so you guys can chat and play together.”

My parents, who had suddenly barged in, disappeared in an instant this time as well. They tried to go out to the parking lot to pick us up, but they insisted that it was okay and pushed us inside the house.

“… Would you like to eat something first?”

“Yes… Okay.”

And the atmosphere with only the three of them left was more awkward than I expected.

*

As my mother said, there wasn’t much we didn’t have at home.

If it were just me and Areum like usual, we could have just eaten something and gotten through it, but since we were with Sarang tonight, we needed to at least make things a little more special.

“Honey, do you like something?”

“Uh… Ah, anything is fine… .”

“Oh, really?”

anything.

I think the hardest thing in the world is treating someone like they’re okay with anything.

“Um… Is chicken okay?”

“Oh, yes! I like chicken… .”

However, I thought that at least there would be no complaints about chicken without going through all the trouble.

“Where do you like chicken? Most places here deliver.”

“Ah… um… can I have you look at it?”

“Oh, wait a minute.”

I went into the delivery app on my phone.

Then, select the chicken tab and hand it to Sarang.

“If there’s anything you want to eat, just tell me. I’ll order that.”

“Hey… Thank you.”

The sight of Sarang’s face widening in surprise at such a trivial favor was cute.

Although we are not that old, maybe because of my status as a student, I feel like she is my niece or daughter.

Even though dinner was just chicken delivery, Sarang’s expression looked quite satisfied.

I was happily watching Sarang-i choosing chicken while wiggling her fingers.

“Hey… What are you splitting? ”

At that moment, the eerie voice of that beautiful girl whispered softly in my ear.

The freshness of love that was felt a moment ago has disappeared somewhere, and the atmosphere has changed into a completely gloomy one.

“What, what.”

“Why do you split when you see love?”

“… When did I.”

The expression on A-reum’s face, which was casting a strange gaze at me, was full of an expression that was difficult to read.

“Hey.”

“Why.”

“Come here for a moment.”

“What is it?”

“Just come for a bit.”

A beautiful girl who calls me while wagging her finger from a foot away.

And without even listening to my answer, he just went into his room.

I was going to just ignore it, but the distorted face from earlier bothered me so much that I ended up following him.

Squeak—

It was when the door that had been wide open closed.

“You, damn it… Why aren’t you answering when I say that you’re laughing while watching Love?”

That girl suddenly started to act like that.

“That’s bullshit. Why can’t I even laugh?”

“… Sa, love is telling me not to think shit when you look at me.”

“… Are you crazy? Is that all you have in your head?”

“Why are you so excited? Are you a little hurt? Huh?”

I let out a deep sigh as I watched that beautiful girl arguing endlessly.

And I held my forehead from the throbbing headache.

“Haa… You call that talking? What the hell are you talking about with a child right now.”

◦ ◦ Then, what are you doing?

It was absurd.

I laughed a little because I thought it was cute to see Sarang choosing chicken, but he was treating me like some kind of pervert.

“Hey, if you’re going to pick a fight, then get out. What the… you’re just picking out nonsense that doesn’t make sense.”

I just turned around and tried to go back outside.

But then, suddenly, A-reum’s gloomy voice echoes through the room.

“Do you… really have a conscience?”

“What the hell are you talking about conscience all of a sudden? ”

“You said you were sorry to me, right? But, is that how you feel sorry to me now? And are you really sorry?”

“Ha! That bitch is saying that now. Hey, don’t get me wrong. You and I are the same. If I think about getting beaten up, shouldn’t I feel more wronged? Just look at my face and say it. ”

To be honest, when A-reum and I switched bodies, I think I’ve already paid off everything I owed.

That’s why I actually got more in return from A-reum.

“… I got spanked back then too. Didn’t you think we were going to get away with it? And you f*ck… After that, you forced me to, f*ck… .”

“I was really excited back then, and of course I feel really sorry, but think about when we changed. I almost lost twice because of you, right? But you don’t even think about apologizing, do you?”

“That, that’s what you did first, didn’t you!”

“You’re saying you’re going to strangle someone and throw their head into the water? Ha, you crazy bitch… .”

My voice and Arum’s voice were getting louder and louder.

In particular, Arami was shaking her shoulders and clenching her fists as if she was so upset about something. I couldn’t let my guard down because I felt like that fist would fly at me at any moment.

“I’m telling you straight, I won’t apologize again unless you apologize first. And you can tell your parents or not, and you can report this to the police or not, whatever you want. But if you have a fucking conscience, you wouldn’t do that, right?”

I left the room, leaving only those words to Arami.

If it had gone to this extent, I would have been scared and would have been afraid to protect myself.

And then, as I was about to leave, my eyes met with Sarang’s through the crack in the door.

Just as I was starting to worry that my conversation in the room might have been heard outside, Sarang was shaking my phone and smiling brightly.

“Oh, oppa! I chose it… .”

“Really? What is it?”

I walked quickly to the sofa where Sarangi was.

And he just smiled for no reason and kept a good-natured expression.

“Oh, this. This is fried chicken, half and half seasoned… and cheese balls… Can I eat it like this?”

“Uh… If you want more food, you can order more. Do you want more?”

Sarang looked back at her phone with a surprised expression on her face at my words.

And then he scans it intently as if he’s being sucked into it, and then he hands me the LCD screen again.

“Ah… Then can I order wedge potatoes too…?”

“Hehehe, okay. Order it, order it. So that’s it?”

“… Is it a bit much to upgrade to a large cola?”

Sarang was blushing, embarrassed by the increasing number of orders.

I kept laughing at her embarrassed look, so I stroked Sarangi’s head as if it were an old habit.

“Ah… … Ha, don’t do that… .”

“Then you won’t order chicken? I’ll leave out the cheese balls and potatoes, and just give you the flat cola I have at home. Is that okay?”

“Ah… My head smells… .”

Sarang was so embarrassed by something that she was busy wiggling her thighs and lowering her head.

“Sniff sniff, are you okay?”

“Ugh, eww! Oh, oppa… Don’t… .”

Sarang’s reaction felt quite refreshing to me.

If it had been someone in our family, I would have thrown my fist at them right away, but Sarang was just twisting her body and trying to run away far away.

“Where are you going? Why don’t you come here?”

“Ugh! Please, please… My head really stinks… .”

“I told you not to smell it? Sniff sniff, all I can smell is shampoo.”

It was a fresh and refreshing scent.

The scent seeps deep into my lungs and turns me into a slob.

“Eeeeek! Hey, unnie! My brother is bullying me!!”

Sarang, whose neck was wrapped around my arms, flailed her body and called out, “Areumi.”

I figured she’d be holed up in her room right now, letting out her frustration.

“Hey!! Are you crazy!?”

But, as expected, this time too, the living room was filled with the sound of A-reum’s screams.

“… Ah, surprise. Why are you yelling so loudly? Even Sarang was surprised. ”

“Ah, ahh… Oh, sis… I’m, I’m okay… .”

Sarang, who was half-held in my arms, opened her eyes wide and looked at Arami, looking quite flustered.
