“Ah…huh.”

After eating to my heart’s content, I wonder if wanting to sleep again is due to my mood.

Returning to the room, I sat on the edge of the bed.

Overwhelmed by fatigue, I lay down on the bed.

If I do this, I’ll probably close my eyes and fall asleep again.

“Ugh!”

“Hmm?”

Making a strange noise, I suddenly kicked the bed and got up.

I almost fell asleep just thinking about it.

“Get up. What’s the point of just staying in bed like this?”

“It’s hard…”

“…Should we go back to sleep?”

Complicating things for no reason.

Last night, my brother, who cuddled up to me, was still sitting there, touching the blanket.

“Hmm…should we take a short walk then?”

“…But I’m in pain.”

Can’t seem to decide one way or the other.

I want to have fun, but my back hurts, and my brother wants to sleep.

Perhaps lying in bed is the best option after all.

“Ah, forget it. Let’s just rest.”

With that thought, convincing myself seemed pointless.

It’s tough for both of us; why bother playing around? We should relax.

“I don’t think that’s going to work out.”

“…Huh?”

But it seemed different for my brother.

“The bed…”

“The bed? What about the bed?”

Was the bed actually uncomfortable?

Maybe the hotel bed was too soft, causing discomfort.

But what does that have to do with sleeping?

“On the bed—”

With my brother muttering, my mind changed once again.

“…Oh.”

Could anyone sleep comfortably on a damp bed?

*

“Still, it’s fortunate they changed the sheets.”

While they were changing them, we went outside.

Unlike yesterday, the weather was sunny but cool, perfect for feeling the sea breeze and walking on the sand.

“…I laid out the towels.”

I had bought fluffy, soft, and very large towels.

“Heh…”

My brother cleared his throat awkwardly, patting my shoulder without saying anything.

I feel a bit unjustly treated.

Yes, I might have overreacted a bit…

But still. Ah…

“Uh…”

I had nothing to say either.

The cool breeze made me feel refreshed, somewhat easing my embarrassment, but our reason for leaving the hotel seemed foolish.

“…We stopped walking.”

“Um…I was going to ask if you wanted coffee…”

Lost in thought, we had forgotten what we were trying to do.

Neither of us is at fault.

Thinking that way puts my mind at ease.

We love each other, so why blame anyone?

“…Let’s go.”

Leaning on my brother’s shoulder, we entered the cafe together.

After ordering coffee, we settled in the corner, sprawling across the table as if on a bed.

“Pregnancy…was successful, right?”

We hadn’t bought a tester.

We were only aware of the risk through an app.

It seemed likely, but suddenly, there was a small fear.

Would I be able to get pregnant?

That kind of fear.

A concern nestled in a corner of my mind.

Am I really 100% a woman?

That day was undoubtedly a woman’s day.

A day that proves you can bear a child.

I’ve been through it several times, and despite the pain, there was a sense of joy.

If I want a baby, I can have one.

“Yeah…it must have worked.”

“Hehe. I put in a lot of effort to make sure it didn’t fail, right?”

“Hmm. That’s true.”

My brother lowered his gaze to my belly.

Not knowing if it had worked, I simply patted my stomach as a gesture of encouragement.

“Should we think of names before the baby is born?”

“Well…we don’t even know if it’s a boy or a girl yet.”

“Then we can decide on both.”

When they’re born, they’ll surely be beautiful. Incredibly cute.

He would be very handsome even if he were a man.

“Um… Jiwoo….”

“…?”

“I was thinking about a male name… Let’s stop.”

Then, it becomes Kim Jiwoo.

It feels like changing sexes after marriage.

“So, should the male name be Jiwoo…?”

“Oh. Can I really do that?”

“Yeah. It seems fine. Kim Jiwoo. Sounds good.”

Next is deciding on a female name.

“Um… okay. Well, whatever you like.”

My brother seemed flustered and stumbled over his words before finally nodding.

My name is Jihye.

I am no longer Jiwoo.

Wherever I go, my name is written as Lee Jihye.

The name Jiwoo was just a temporary one for me.

It’s strange yet fascinating how my genes pass down even my name to my child.

“Now that we’ve decided on the female name, it’s done. What do you think would be nice?”

“Ji… Ji…”

“Don’t just stick to names starting with ‘Ji.’ There are other options too, like Sujin.”

It’s heartwarming that you’re considering me… Yeah, it’s nice.

“It might be best if the female name also starts with ‘Ji.’ Being both a wife and daughter… and Mini Lee Jihye sounds cute and pretty.”

“Got it… then please think of a beautiful name properly.”

My brother’s small desire is a desire for me.

Even if I push it, there’s no reason to force it.

“So… Jiyoung?”

“I don’t like ‘Young.’”

“…Ah. Okay.”

Both my brother and I fell silent for a moment.

It’s just a name, but I can’t bring myself to say it.

So, I called it not a name but a word.

My brother cautiously suggests several names.

Among the names that feel right or wrong, one good name emerges.

“Kim Ji-eun. This seems pretty and nice.”

I have now decided on the name for the child who will be born someday.

Sitting next to my brother in the cafe, sipping coffee, spending time together.

“The second child will be named with ‘Su.’ Since it’s me this time, the next one will be named after you.”

“Yeah. Let’s do that.”

It was almost a declaration of having a second child, but my brother answered without a hint of hesitation.

I was starting to look forward to married life.

“Huam… Hoo?”

What? Why is my brother gone?

Rubbing my eyes as I wake up, I notice my brother’s presence lingering and feel a warm breeze below.

“Hello?”

“You pervert. What are you doing?”

“Just felt like touching bare skin… that’s all.”

Touching someone’s thigh… well, not exactly someone else’s, but doing this while they sleep makes you look like a real pervert.

“Hey, hey.”

Covering his face with my thigh seems to make him even happier.

With his handsome face, he seems to think he can get away with anything…

“Like it?”

“Yeah.”

Anything goes. Even if I pay with my face instead of money, he’d accept it.

“So soft… like jelly.”

“Even so, you’ll make me exercise?”

“Well, you should. You’re too weak.”

My brother, who gives up jelly-like thighs and thinks about my health.

I really hate exercising.

“What about wearing stockings?”

“That would be even better.”

Starting from my calves, my brother climbs into my arms.

He must have enjoyed himself while I was asleep; we hadn’t reached the chest yet.

Our days and nights had switched, and by the time we engaged in such activities, it was already approaching evening.

I combed my tangled hair, changed clothes, and headed back to the restaurant we visited in the morning, wearing thin, flesh-colored stockings without shine and dragging slippers.

“Summer and stockings… black ones are a bit much.”

I returned to the restaurant we visited in the morning, dragging my slippers, wearing sheer, matte-finish nude stockings.

“…Huh?”

In the morning, I was eating beside him, but now that I’m in front, my brother looks bewildered.

“This face-to-face eating is nice.”

I think there’s a slight preference involved.

Whether it’s obtaining physical satisfaction from being so close or visual satisfaction from having the view in front of you.

“Uh….”

My brother flinched at my foot.

“Hey, are you okay…?”

“Haha. You seem to like this too.”

I decided to have both.

My brother, flustered. Indeed, adorable.

“Um… There are so many people…”

He fidgets nervously, checking his surroundings.

It’s not like he doesn’t feel the gaze on us.

“Your hand is still, aren’t you hungry?”

But our legs are well hidden.

Before sitting down with the food, I made sure to check the positions of the people around us.

“My stomach… growls but… uh.”

To my brother who was unaware of such things and only felt my foot, embarrassment filled him.

“Oh~ Doesn’t this sausage look delicious? It’s huge.”

Teasing my brother as I talk around the subject a bit.

I watched my brother’s struggling expression as he tried to endure, pressing against the pillar that had grown enough to lift his pants.

“Oh~”

I pick up the sausage and feed it to my brother.

“Chew….”

My brother endured until the end and finished the sausage.

For me, it was a pleasant evening, but for my brother, it was an endless dinner time.

“…Will you accept it?”

“Oh… ♡ Expect something ♡”

Something warm pressed against my back.

I turned around and returned to the room, despite others looking at us strangely, I just smiled.

“Kyaa~”

As soon as the door closed, I landed on the bed as if thrown, but it was an endlessly considerate gesture rather than just being tossed.

“If someone else sees… it’ll be really bad if it gets bigger.”

“Hehe. That’s what I’m aiming for.”

Throwing off his clothes carelessly, he then helped me out of mine.

“…!?”

“Hehe. I knew it would be like this.”

Seeing my brother’s face made me very happy.

With a face that said he had already succumbed, he continued to undress me.

“You’re not… a pervert, are you.”

“Perverted women are welcomed~”

“…Get ready.”

My brother, who had fallen into my trap, now had a clear task ahead.

He gently enclosed my feet wrapped in stockings with his nose.

They were washed, but I always felt repulsed.

-Tuduk. Tududuk.

Tonight was bound to be intense once again.
