(new)

Every time Sarang’s hand touches her hair, the tangled hair loosens up, and the warm heat from the hair dryer makes her damp hair fluffy.

“Your hair is nice too… .”

“Hehe, really?”

Although it is not a compliment directed at me, I still feel sincerity towards ‘me’.

I was grateful for that and gave a small smile to my love reflected in the mirror.

“Hehehe… I’m glad I have a sister.”

“It’s not like it looks like it, but it looks like it?”

“Ah! That’s right… That’s what happened… .”

It was a bright, foolish smile.

A glimpse of unsullied purity is revealed.

“Does your arm hurt?”

“Yes…! It doesn’t hurt at all.”

“Yeah… ?”

It seemed like even the scalp was already completely dry.

But, Sarang’s hands wouldn’t stop… So I decided to sit still and wait.

“Oh, I have to go to school tomorrow? Did you pack everything?”

“Hmm… Yes.”

I was concerned about the slightly gloomy expression on Sarang’s face when she heard the word “school.”

“Why? You don’t want to go?”

“Hehehe… No. I want to go… And I want to graduate quickly… .”

“Huh? Graduation? Oh… You want to get out of here quickly?”

“Ahh! That, that’s absolutely not it… !”

The expression on Sarang’s face reflected in the mirror was unusual.

He had a very hardened face and his lips were thrust forward, giving off the impression that he was pouting.

“Hahaha… Just kidding, just kidding. Why are you so serious?”

I burst out laughing because it was so cute.

“Ahhh… !”

Sarang-i doesn’t like that either, so she throws a tantrum with a sad expression.

“Is it all dry now?”

“… There’s still a little left.”

“Not yet?”

“… Yes!”

I put my hand to my head.

Hair with moderate oiliness shines and sways.

“Okay?”

“Heeelp… .”

“Okay, now I have to comb it too.”

“Ah!”

Sarang, who had been holding out the comb I was offering, quickly erased the gloomy expression that had been on her face just a moment ago.

And then he slowly combs my hair.

As if I was handling something precious, I was very careful, as if I was handling a baby.

“Ugh… .”

The sound of combing tickles my ears.

The scent of shampoo spreading everywhere tickles my nose.

It felt like all the fatigue was flying away.

“Hahahah …

Stretching—the sound of pizza cracking—resonates.

“… Are you really tired?”

“Ah, what… I came here to play, so I shouldn’t be tired… .”

Travel is like that.

When I leave home, I suddenly look back on the hardships I had during 2 Days & 1 Night.

My memories are vague, except for the fact that I was eaten as if I was raped.

All I have are disgusting memories of struggling and even eating shit.

“Ugh… My head… .”

“Sister… ?”

“No… I was just thinking about something useless for a moment.”

I shook my head to shake off all those disgusting memories.

There was no need to recall those things again.

“By any chance… .”

Then Sarang whispers softly in my ear.

“… If you have any difficulties, please let me know… .”

Sarang’s breath reached my ears.

“… I will definitely help you.”

“Ah… … .”

Sarang’s sudden words were clearly nothing more than empty talk.

But, when I think about my current situation, it feels like words that give me strength.

“Heh, heh… Thank you. If you ever have a hard time, please tell me.”

The atmosphere in the room became warmer than ever.

Our two faces facing each other are filled with smiles.

“Yes!”

With a strong answer, Sarangi hugs me tightly.

I thought that maybe it was because the two of them had a lot in common that they became such strong supporters.

It was a little funny that I was stuck in between, but I still hugged him with the thought that a good thing is a good thing.

“Hehehe, do you remember everything from when we were kids?”

“Ah… Yeah. Of course.”

“My memory is a little hazy. I was so young… .”

I reminisced about the times gone by.

I, too, try to recall some of my slightly faded memories.

“Hehe, do you remember that? You always said you didn’t want to go home, but you just laid there crying and throwing a tantrum.

“Ah! That, that’s… I really didn’t want to go, that’s why I did that… .”

“… Why? Because you want to keep playing together?”

If you think about it, both Sarang and Arum were like that.

Our house was relatively easygoing, in contrast to the relatively strict atmosphere at home.

I think I just blended in with that atmosphere.

“That, that’s it… .”

“Yeah.”

Sarang’s mouth is wide open and her expression is clearly one of concern.

My eyes twitch slightly and my breathing becomes rapid.

And then I feel like, “Oh, my.”

I began to regret asking such a pointless question, wondering if perhaps my parents had been reminded of the old story.

Sarang’s dark expression brightened a little, but she was blushing at my thoughtless question.

“Sorry… I spoke out of turn.”

“Oh, no! That’s not it… .”

Sarangi wiggles her body.

Drool dripped from between her slightly parted lips.

Boom bang—!

“Haaak!”

“Oh, shit… This is surprising.”

At that moment, a loud knock on the door echoes through the room.

Squeak—

And then the door opened and, as expected, Arum appeared.

“… What should I do with the rice?”

Arum’s eyes sparkle as she looks at me and Sarang in turn.

There was blatant hostility in those eyes.

“Ah… I, I’m… not hungry yet… .”

“Oh, me too. I think it’ll be okay, right?”

“… Really? Got it.”

Boom-!

A door that closes nervously.

Soon, my eyes and Sarang’s met, and for some reason, a smile appeared on our lips.

*

It was a pleasure talking with Sarang.

It had been a long time since I had had a normal conversation like this with someone of the opposite sex my age, so perhaps it was natural.

Thanks to that, my head, which had become sensitive due to my period, felt better.

And when Sarang left the room saying she wanted to take a shower, I felt regretful again, but I couldn’t stop her as the clock gradually ticked towards night.

“Sigh… .”

I try lying down on the bed.

The scent of Sarangi, who had been staying up there until just a moment ago, still lingered.

And more than that, the smell of the beautiful years is also abundant.

Of course, it couldn’t be otherwise, because this was Arami’s bed, so the smell of Arami’s scent was all over the place.

I grab the blanket that is at my feet and cover myself with it.

And I tried to find a comfortable position by shaking my body.

My tired body was about to fall asleep, but the sound of the door unlocking sent a chill down my spine.

“Sigh… .”

There it was again.

It’s A-reum’s year.

It was so familiar that it was now taken for granted.

(New Love)

“Huh~”

I found myself humming.

The times I spent with my sister… no, my brother were happy.

My sister didn’t seem to know, but I somehow knew that she was my older brother, so I asked her questions about this and that.

A fact that only my brother and I know, and a fact that only my sister and I know.

My brother was clumsy.

My sister pretended to know things she shouldn’t know, and she knew things she shouldn’t know.

And even though we clearly shared these words yesterday, I couldn’t remember them.

This gave me confidence.

Not just a feeling, but a conviction.

“Hee, heeheehee… .”

Even though she was my sister, I stroked my brother’s head.

Even though it was my sister’s face, it made my brother smile.

Even though it was my sister’s body, I touched every nook and cranny.

Although she looked like my older sister, she was definitely my older brother.

Someday, let’s go on a date together naturally.

Someday, I hope we can wash together naturally.

And one day, I wanted to sleep in the same bed naturally.

“Hehehe… Heheheehee… .”

It was nice just to imagine it.

And it was even better that it didn’t have to end in imagination.

“Ugh… .”

I washed every nook and cranny of my body thoroughly.

Just in case, I don’t want to smell bad, or my brother might think it’s weird… .

I’m starting to feel anxious.

I wanted to talk to you again soon.

I wanted to spend the night with you like that.

Should I ask my brother to dry my hair? Then, I thought I should just roughly dry it with a towel.

My brother was clearly not very good with his hands, so I felt even better knowing that it would take a long time to dry his hair.

“Hehehe~”

I wondered if my sister was in the living room. Should I just cover my body with a towel and run out, or should I just go straight to my sister’s room? All sorts of thoughts ran through my head… But I changed my mind as I thought of my sister’s face.

I thought it wouldn’t be good to appear disliked by my older sister who somehow disliked me.

“Hehehe… .”

Just in case my brother saw it… I thought I shouldn’t wear underwear that was too childish, so I took out some see-through underwear that I had never worn before and put it on.

I bought these underwear without telling my friends or my parents, but I had no idea I would end up wearing them like this.

“Ugh… .”

I looked at my body in the mirror for a moment.

I was worried that I had a little fat, but I guess I’ll have to hide it with some loose pajamas.

In particular, I was constantly worried because my brother would occasionally tickle my side, so I even thought about trying to exercise again.

Now I rolled up my damp hair and wrapped it in a towel.

Then I opened the bathroom door and went out into the living room.

I couldn’t contain my excitement.

I wanted to talk to you again soon.

So I ran straight to my sister’s room.

“Stop, stop… Sob! There’s love at home!”

“… So what do you want me to do? Shut up and open your mouth wider.”

I stopped my hand from opening the door.

I focused on the small voice coming from inside.

I put my ear close to the door.

With a thud, the towel fell down.

“Cough! Keu, keuhup! Phew!”

“Huh… Do you like it? Do you like it?”
