“Ugh….”

“Wow… What am I even watching.”

If it’s my body, then what is it?

“They say a real woman falls for me? Can I believe this because it’s possible?”

The value of underwear was dismissed by showing that it was worn.

I was going to buy it with my own money… No, if it’s 30… Can I just show it once…?

She insisted that photos were not allowed and now my sister was looking up and down at me as if mocking me.

“Hehe. It was delicious….”

“Uh. Let’s go quickly. Change your clothes.”

My sister disappears swiftly like a spider.

After sighing, I locked the door and took off my underwear.

“Phew….”

It’s still provocative when I look again.

It’s slightly disappointing that the first person I saw wasn’t Oppa but well….

Oppa is the one who writes, right?

I really look forward to the reaction.

“Now let’s go.”

“Already?”

“You said you only wanted to buy underwear.”

“Oh… that’s true but…”

My sister, speaking in a historical drama tone, swept her hand through the air as if she had a neat chin and a long beard.

Looking up at the sky and sticking out her tongue as if worried about Mount Taesan, I wondered if she was really worried.

“I… I can at least have a meal together.”

“Oh!”

She came back fresh and lively.

She looks exactly like Ji Hyuk Oppa.

Honestly, she’s cute.

How can I learn those cute actions?

Do I have to become a woman to get rid of these strange behaviors ingrained in me?

Sometimes without realizing it, I cross my legs or kneel, but…

When wearing a skirt, spreading my legs or crossing Dad’s legs makes me surprised.

“Cute.”

“Huh?”

“You’re cute.”

“W-why all of a sudden??”

Curious, I hugged her.

Is this fresh and sweet scent the secret?

“Heh….”

“Why are you so cute? Please tell me.”

“Heh… I’m… good…”

Suddenly, she became fatally cute, even using formal language.

Carefully, I lifted my sister’s flowing hair to my ear.

“Heh….”

“There must be a secret, right? Isn’t there?”

Slowly, our faces draw closer.

*Tock.*

Her eyes widened as she pushed me away.

“…Wait a minute! I-I have an older brother…!”

“Oh. It’s just because you’re cute.”

“Phew… Phew… Haah… I almost fell for it….”

Suhyun unni and Sua unni are clearly similar in appearance and height, but why is Sua unni so cute?

I decided to think a little more broadly.

Sua unni is Suhyun unni’s younger sister.

Both are very playful, but due to the nature of society’s stale side dishes, Suhyun unni somehow exudes a mysterious maturity.

As a younger sister, Sua unni can’t help but be playful.

Even if she acts cute, she gains charm and a home… forms.

“Mmhm.”

“Why… could you please not come for a moment? My heart is pounding…?”

“Playfulness. Will you teach me?”

“…Yes?”

“Playfulness.”

If Suhyun unni also acts cute, she can do it, but Sua unni probably has higher skills.

I don’t know because I don’t have a younger sister, but still, a younger sister receives love from parents and from older brothers and sisters depending on the age difference.

“Well… that’s true….”

“…Wait a minute.”

I urgently dragged my sister out of the department store.

“Why why? What’s wrong…?”

“People…”

“People…?”

“They’re staring so much… Oh my…!”

In the middle of the department store, she suddenly hugged me as if possessed

How can they not find this strange?

“Heh. I guess playfulness isn’t necessary. You’re cute enough.”

“Ah… let’s just go home quickly….”

Seems like my head got a bit dizzy for a moment.

“That… yeah. In that state, you can just go to your boyfriend. Earlier… use it at night….”

“Yeah sure….”

Struggling to catch my breath, I barely managed to get into the car.

“Kkum kkum. Uh… Can we stop by the pharmacy and the mart?”

“Oh. Yeah. I was planning to go shopping too. But the pharmacy…?”

Ah. Should I tell her?

If I tell her… she might make good use of it too.

“Well… Men’s uh… that supplement with a lot of… that liquid…”

“Got it. Let’s go. I need to give some to Jihyuk too.”

“T-Thank you…”

I felt embarrassed but gained an atmosphere.

*

Stopped by the pharmacy to buy supplements and then went to the mart.

“Hmm~ What are you planning to cook today, Jihye?”

“Maybe tonkatsu.”

“By any chance… homemade?”

“Yes, yes. My brother really loves tonkatsu.”

“Oh… he’s married.”

“Hehe.”

Received compliments from Jihye’s sister-in-law.

Being praised by a housewife… for me, it’s like the highest praise.

“Maybe… I should try making tonkatsu too.”

“My brother likes Korean food. Especially unique dishes.”

“Unique dishes…?”

“Like fernbrake salad or fermented seafood… um. It’s unique to him considering his age. I eat them too… but he seeks them out.”

“Oh… I knew he liked Korean food, but I didn’t know he liked fermented seafood. Thanks.”

Do unique people like unique things?

“What do you like, Unni?”

“Um… seafood? Like skate!”

Hmm. She’s certainly unique.

I absolutely can’t eat skate.

That slimy skate… is just… different.

“Dip and fry. One, two, three!”

“Huh? Huh… dip and fry?”

She said it confidently despite being flustered.

…”

My fondness for Unni increased.

I must invite her when I make sweet and sour pork later.

“I’m really glad I didn’t end up disliking Unni.”

“Huh!? Did I almost earn Jihye’s hatred just now?”

“Well~ Shall we head back home now?”

“Jihye!?”

Got into the car with a playful smile.

“Earlier was just… a joke, I’ll invite you over sometime. Families should eat together.”

“Great!! I’ll be waiting for your call!”

*Bwang!*

“…Uh-huh.”

“Oh.”

*

On the way back home, I patiently explained basic safety measures to Unni.

And mentioned that driving like this doubles the fuel cost.

“Thank you for today~”

“Yeah… Let’s meet again sometime…”

*Woowoong….*

“Phew….”

*Tebuk tebuk*

It’s still early to be getting dark.

Perhaps because I left a bit early in the morning, it’s still sunny.

It’s chilly, but with a bit of effort to defy winter, even with less insulated clothes, I can manage.

“Lululala~”

Seems like no matter what, I’m a homebody.

Home is the best.

The fire only burns in the kitchen.

Maybe I’m not just the lead in cooking videos shot in the kitchen at this hour; it’s my time for myself.

Beyond this is my brother.

My brother who will taste the food with a bright smile.

He’ll forget about his tired body and feed me.

He’ll say it’s delicious.

“Phew.”

The kitchen should be clean, and so should the cook.

Changed into clean clothes, tied an apron, took out the ingredients, prepared, washed, and took out the meat.

Silently and diligently, the cooking preparations were completed.

“This is done….”

This is… muttered to myself.

*Tung tung tung tung*

Pounding the meat with a meat mallet to turn it into tonkatsu.

The thick meat, with dimensions and thickness suitable for calling it tonkatsu, is transferred to a plate.

Fresh. For freshness’ sake, it’s much better for me, who has extra time anyway, to personally go buy meat rather than freeze it in the fridge.

Season the meat, coat with flour, dip in beaten egg mixed with water, and coat with bread crumbs.

The oil seems to be at a good temperature.

Don’t skimp on the oil; make sure to confirm, or you might compromise the taste of the tonkatsu.

*Bubububwah!*

[Dear! I’m leaving soon!]

[Cat emoji holding a heart]

Check the messages appropriately and even leave emojis.

Eating it hot is the most important point.

So, make sure to emphasize leaving a message.

It’s fortunate to have an older brother who knows the true taste of tonkatsu.

*Chyaak* Slowly soak the remaining tonkatsu as well.

Drain it while watching carefully.

If we talk about the biggest flaw of tonkatsu… it’s really annoying to clean up.

Looking at the greasy sink and the area around the gas range can be slightly irritating.

Well, there are various tips now, and it almost feels like cleaning, so after finishing, you even feel a strange sense of accomplishment.

The easiest thing is just to lay newspapers or something similar around.

*Scratch scratch scratch scratch*

While cutting cabbage to eat with tonkatsu, a salad is made.

Sprinkle sauce and take out the pre-made tonkatsu.

Tonkatsu is hot, but isn’t it better if the sauce is honestly cold?

“Oppa! Come in quickly!”

“Oh~!”

As I was setting the table, I heard the sound of the door lock and the door opened.

Anyway, everything was perfect today too.

“Ho… Kim’s place for tonkatsu….”

“I told you I’d be right on time.”

I neatly tied the apron and roughly tidied up the rest.

“I see you every time, but you’re really amazing.”

As usual, my brother was about to sit down, but he put down the spoon he was about to pick up and stood up again.

“Hehe. I have good news.”

“Oh… could it be…”

“I got vacation next week. So…”

“Wow!!”

What I had only expected actually happened, so I hugged my brother and jumped around without realizing it.

My brother, although surprised, followed me.

“Uh… sorry.”

“Ah no, I’m really excited too.”

After jumping around, I felt a somewhat awkward atmosphere creeping in.

“Then hug me….”

“…There’s something better.”

Our bodies were still close, and my brother’s face slowly drew closer.

*Mwah…*

A kiss that lasted a long time, like lovers who had just met after a week.

“Sh-should we eat…?”

“Yeah, let’s eat.”

My pounding heart is so annoying.

I could have done more.

I hated myself for not knowing how to breathe properly and unconsciously holding my breath.
