by fnovelpiaEpisode 70: Sometimes, alcohol lets you hear the truth.
6 p.m.
It would have been the usual time to leave work, but Han Seyeon arrived home in a staggering state.
The door lock clicked slowly.
A brief beep.
The door opened straight away, and a voice filled with intoxication echoed.
“Saein~ My beloved, my little brother…”
“…Nuna, you’re here?”
“Mm. Come here.”
“You’ve had a lot to drink.”
“Just a little? Did you have fun?”
Han Seyeon’s pronunciation was slurred, and her haughty voice playfully softened.
Her usually gentle voice towards her younger brother became even softer.
Thanks to the intoxication, she seemed to be in a very good mood.
“Brother?”
“Uh… Haa.”
“…?”
She embraced her younger brother tightly.
She threw her coat far away.
Dressed not in work clothes but in casual attire, she savored her beloved brother.
Rocking back and forth.
She shook her body as if hugging him.
As if riding an amusement park ride, Han Seyin’s body trembled, and her sister, resting her head on his forehead, took a deep breath.
A pleasant scent.
She could smell her brother’s scent and shampoo fragrance.
It felt like the smell of a puppy’s fur.
She secretly inhaled the scent she used to smell after he fell asleep.
“I love you.”
“Uh, Nuna.”
“What about Saein?”
“I love you too.”
“Great~”
Feeling like she was flying.
Seeing her in a drunken state was as surprising for Han Seyin as it was for her.
Yet, it could be said that she looked cute.
Whether she knew she was making an embarrassing mistake towards her brother or not, Han Seyeon cast aside her guilt and expressed her emotions.
“Have you eaten?”
“I ate.”
“Um… I didn’t.”
“Oh, sorry…”
Hmm, what should I do?
She was the typical image of a drinker.
Yet, her feelings towards her brother were gentle.
There was no sign of anger or strange behavior.
“Shall I order chicken?”
“Oh… thank you then.”
“Mm. Let’s lie down together then!”
What’s going on?
What does ordering chicken have to do with lying down together?
Nevertheless, Han Seyeon covered him with a blanket and quickly laid it out.
A soft and warm blanket.
Layered several times, it felt softer than a bed for a different reason.
She casually took off her clothes and changed into light clothing.
Loose t-shirt and pants.
The short pants revealed her thigh line, and due to not wearing a bra, her chest was clearly visible through the oversized t-shirt.
A strange sight that could make any man blush.
She lay down on the bedding, fluttering her clothes collar.
Her nipples protruded prominently.
Whether she knew her own state or not, Han Seyeon lightly tapped the space next to her.
“Come here.”
“…What about the chicken?”
“Quickly…”
“Alright.”
Can people change like this?
Wondering how she could change so much just from drinking, she moved her body.
As usual, she lay down with a reasonable distance between them.
But then.
As if not liking something, Han Seyeon reached out her arm.
As if offering an arm pillow.
“To Nuna.”
“Why…”
“Quickly…!”
“Alright.”
“Oh, you’re so kind.”
Han Seyin, who was rolling slowly, suddenly stuck to her side.
As he got closer to her elbow, she bent her hand around him like a protective shield.
Once again, Han Seyin found himself nestled in her arms.
Just as he was about to say something.
He was taken aback by the gentle touch.
“Kind, kind. Our Sein. My little brother…”
“…….”
“Pretty, kind….”
Pat, pat.
With one hand, she patted his back.
With the other hand, she stroked his head.
As if handling a child.
Han Seyeon began to show affection to her little brother.
Before the sexual part.
As much as she depended on her brother.
Not only financially, but also as a parent.
So, being both a sister and a mother, she started doing what she couldn’t do before.
For her, who had to live with dignity as a woman.
It was a kind of regret.
That was released by drinking.
“Our Sein is pretty…”
“I’m not a baby…”
“My lovely little brother, right?”
“…….”
“I have to take care of you…”
“Mm…”
Han Sein fell silent.
When was the last time he received affection without doing anything?
Maybe when he was a baby?
There was no ulterior motive in the gentle touch.
Only the feeling of dealing with a pretty and lovable being.
He accepted the touch without any discomfort.
“I have to take care of you….”
“…….”
“I love you…”
Love.
An emotion that was natural as a family, but a bit special to Han Seyeon.
How many times did she mutter that to herself?
The doorbell rang.
“Looks like the chicken is here.”
“Huh…?”
“I ordered it in advance.”
A gentle voice echoed.
With cautious hands, Han Seyin was laid on the bed.
Her sister went to get the chicken.
“Come here.”
“Uh… okay.”
Although she went along for now…
It felt a bit strange to be treated like a puppy.
She placed the chicken on the table.
Sitting on a chair, she patted her own lap.
If this isn’t treating me like a dog, what is it?
“Aren’t you hungry?”
“I am.”
“Yeah, let’s eat.”
The scent of soy sauce chicken tickled her nose.
Her mouth watered involuntarily, and since she had been hungry for half a day, her stomach growled.
However.
“Sister?”
“You should sit.”
“There’s a chair…”
“Sit.”
“…….”
Han Seyeon stubbornly insisted.
They say you can’t stop a drunk person, even with a hammer.
No one could stop her, who used to do some boxing in her heyday.
In the end.
Han Sein, who couldn’t resist her stubbornness, ended up lying on her lap.
The difference in physique was so great that the expression “buried” seemed fitting visually.
Han Sein sitting on her lap.
Stroking her head and calling her kind.
She opened the chicken box and grabbed a piece of chicken.
“Sister…?”
“Ah.”
Her drunken antics were ongoing.
In the end, she started feeding her the chicken instead of making her sit on her lap.
Due to learned speculation.
Whatever she said here, it was clear that she had to eat the chicken.
“Mmm…”
“Is it delicious?”
“Mm…”
Munch, munch.
The crispy skin of the chicken and the scent and taste of soy sauce.
Han Sein, who was chewing on the greasy meat, nodded her head.
Surely.
She wouldn’t be fed from start to finish.
She thought of an ominous future, but it inevitably came true.
In the end.
Han Sein had no choice but to listen to her drunk sister’s commands and love.
***
She regained consciousness that night.
Among the famous stories spread among drunk people, there is one.
Do drunk people remember the mistakes they made?
No one knows for sure.
But at least from Han Seyeon’s perspective…
“Ahhhh!!!”
She remembered.
Everything.
It was a rare occasion for her to drink.
She was in a good mood and wanted to cool off her feelings towards her brother.
But.
She never expected to make such a mistake.
-Clang.
The reason she came to her senses reverberated.
The sound of water going down.
As she had suspected, there was no one next to Han Seyeon.
The alcohol had dried up her throat.
With her eyes closed, all she could feel was the sluggishness in her body.
She could move if she wanted to, but there was no reason to move, that was the consensus.
Anyway.
She was screaming silently.
Not content with just hugging her younger sister, she ended up treating her like a baby.
She was definitely not a child.
Of course, that could be upsetting.
With the dilemma of what to do.
In the end, the declaration that she couldn’t remember narrowed down the conclusion.
It was common for the mistakes of a drunk person to be left unspoken.
At that moment.
Hansein coming out of the bathroom.
For some reason, she tightly closed her eyes.
Was she pretending to sleep?
Unknowingly, she began to pretend to be asleep.
Before she knew it, Hansein, lying down, approached her.
Just like she had called for in the evening.
Hansein slowly approached his sister.
Her breath stopped.
The unstable breathing was definitely not a sign of being asleep.
Whether she knew this fact or not, she did her best to pretend to be asleep.
A series of tension.
Her whole body stiffened.
Due to the warmth of her approaching younger sibling, she couldn’t move.
His arms gradually wrapped around her waist.
The area that was touched increased more than the untouched area.
The timid sound of breathing flowing through her nose.
Should she consider herself lucky?
Following Hanseyeon’s lead, her younger sibling was just doing what she was supposed to do.
He buried his face in her chest.
Like a hug, and like a mischievous child.
Silence flowed.
Occasionally, the rustling sound of his clothes echoed when his head moved.
She had to be on guard when the sound of swallowing saliva came.
At that moment when she was contemplating whether to swallow the saliva or not.
“Nuna…”
“…!!!”
Was she caught?
Hansein’s body stiffened even more awkwardly.
However.
After a brief silence.
Her younger sibling’s voice echoed, and she couldn’t hide her surprise along with the sense of relief that she wasn’t caught.
“I love you.”
The voice resonating in her heart.
Warm and comforting, like a hearth warming her whole body.
Family love is natural.
But.
The whisper of her younger sibling was secretive.
It was a confession that flowed when she thought she was asleep.
Even if it was the same love.
It was never ordinary.
It made her feel fluttery, as if her sister also harbored the same feelings she had carefully kept.
-Thump, thump.
The heartbeat gradually quickened.
If it was just her own emotions.
The whisper of her younger sibling made her feelings even more confusing.
