A momentary feeling of glory was given to the messy hair, giving it a shiny shine.

The hair that had been heavy and hanging down on my shoulders disappeared, and my head became much lighter.

He had a subtle expression on his face as he stroked his bangs with his hand, not cutting them completely short.

I’ve never really looked at myself in the mirror before, but this is what my face looks like, with a little bit of flesh on it and not a strangely thin face. If I work on it little by little, I can change myself. I absentmindedly shook my head as I thought about that.

As I was tilting my head back and forth in front of the mirror in the living room, I heard Minhee’s voice next to me.

“Should our Jimin have a fashion show?”

“Ugh. Oh, no… !”

I noticed that Minhee, who I thought had gone to the bathroom for a moment, came out quickly and was looking at me.

I quickly took my face off the mirror and threw myself onto the sofa.

A slight shock was felt through my body.

The sofa was so soft that I never got any pain.

“What are you going to do if you get hurt? Your bone density has also dropped, so be careful.”

I sweat profusely as I listened to the sound of bone density and paid attention to my actions without thinking.

I shouldn’t worry you, but I turned around because I was worried that I might worry you again if I did something useless.

“… I’ll be careful.”

When I answered like that to reassure Minhee, Minhee nodded as if she understood and sat down on the end of the sofa where I had thrown my body.

I don’t know if it was because the sofa was so wide or because I’m short, but it didn’t even budge when one person sat on it.

“You looked sleepy yesterday so you didn’t go… How about today?”

Hearing those words, I recalled my memories from yesterday.

I remember falling asleep once while getting my hair cut at the hair salon, and after that, I just followed orders half-asleep and yawned a lot, so Min-hee said I looked sleepy and came home without stopping by.

So I guess I was going out today, but I figured I didn’t have anything to wear since the clothes I wore yesterday were already in the laundry basket.

But I also had that kind of feeling that made me decide not to go.

What should I say? I want to try many things with Minhee, so I think it’s best to just nod when she asks me to do something.

“… I have… more clothes to wear?”

“A lot.”

As expected, she was very interested in fashion, so she immediately answered that there were clothes that I could wear, not only for women but also for men.

As I was groaning, “Ugh,” she giggled and gently touched my foot.

“Why? If it’s available, will you go?”

I flinched at the tickling sensation.

“Ugh, uh.”

“Then just wait.”

Minhee answered like that and went back to the closet.

It was really nice going out together. But I felt a little weird wearing Minhee’s clothes.

Maybe it was because I heard yesterday that you were my little sister… I felt a little bit anxious.

But shouldn’t I still be manly when I’m with Minhee…?

I had somewhat subtle feelings.

I bit my lip and thought about it for a moment, then sat up and leaned back on the sofa.

After waiting for a long time, Minhee went into the closet and searched through it. Then, she quickly ran into the living room holding a set of clothes in each hand.

“How about this?”

Yesterday he gave me a hoodie, so I guess he wanted me to try a different style today, but there was no hoodie and instead there was a dress shirt and sweater.

I was looking closely at the clothes hanging on the hanger, squinting my eyes a little and staring at them for a while.

Although they were both clothes Minhee wore, that doesn’t mean they were necessarily feminine.

I became very serious and kept thinking about many things with my eyebrows furrowed.

I think the reason I was called my little sister yesterday was because I had long hair and dressed warmly.

If that’s the case, I raised my finger, thinking that now that my hair is short, I should wear thinner clothes as well.

Minhee’s right hand, or rather, from where I was looking, was trying to point to the clothes on the left.

But Minhee quickly glanced at the hanger where the white shirt was hanging and let out an “Oops.”

“Oh, this is what I wear with my harness. It would be cold if I wore it now, right?”

After saying that, Minhee went back into the closet.

The fingers, which had lost their way, stretched out again and returned to my arms.

Minhee came out again, as if he was afraid to ask, “What is a harness?”

He must have put away his white shirt, because he was holding new clothes in his hands again.

“I brought the man-to-man because I thought it would be warmer.”

The time of worry has come again.

Should I wear a pure white sweater or a pure white sweatshirt?

Looking at it this way, I frowned wondering why everything was so pure white.

“… Why is it all white?”

“It’s okay, right?”

“Well, that’s true, but… ”

“Do you like black? Man to Man also has yellow.”

Black seemed okay, but yellow seemed like too fresh of a color.

I thought about it for a moment, then remembered that my padding was black, and thought about it for a moment.

Oh, is that a consideration to wear white inside to match the color of the padding?

Since I decided that white would be a good color, I had to think about whether I should get a sweater that looked fluffy and cozy, or a man-to-man that looked neat on the outside.

What is more manly?

After thinking about it for a while, Minhee tilted his head.

“Okay, okay. Take your time and choose what you like. ”

Those words struck me as a bit subtle.

Even though I pursed my lips and furrowed my brows, no answer came.

Since I had never dressed to be seen outside before, I had no idea what was what, and eventually came to the conclusion that I couldn’t make the decision on my own.

So, I opened my mouth with difficulty, thinking that maybe I could ask for help from Minhee, who knew better than me.

“… That, that, that, that looks a little bit like a boy’s clothes… ”

“… … .”

Minhee, who heard what I said, looked at me blankly at my voice.

I opened my mouth but couldn’t find the words to say, so I just stood there dumbfounded.

Just when I was about to feel embarrassed, wondering if I had said something strange, Minhee’s shoulders began to tremble.

In the awkward and heavy silence, Minhee approached me holding a hanger in both hands.

In an atmosphere where people seemed ready to burst out laughing, she barely managed to hold back her laughter and handed me a piece of clothing with the corners of her lips raised.

“Did you mind being called little sister yesterday?”

He said that in a playful voice, as if he was having fun, but since I was serious, it sounded like he was teasing me, so I pursed my lips.

He opened his eyes wide and looked at Minhee, but Minhee didn’t seem like she would stop laughing, so he quickly turned his head away.

That might be a bit concerning.

If I’m going to continue living like this, what’s wrong with becoming more manly?

Although he is still short, I have heard that men’s growth plates remain open for a long time.

It was said that even I, who was only twenty-one, had a chance.

Of course, it won’t get any bigger right away.

“Sorry, sorry. Don’t be upset.”

Minhee didn’t stop chuckling even as she said that.

But I couldn’t keep acting like this, so I ended up turning my head and just staring at the clothes in her hands.

Two types of clothes came close. I looked at them quietly and thought, “This is better than something too warm.” So I chose the man-to-man.

So, wearing a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt, I returned to the living room and headed to the full-length mirror.

I don’t know if it’s okay.

Do I have no eyes to see?

It seems okay, but it also doesn’t seem okay.

It might be better to say that I have no subjectivity of my own.

As I was looking at the mirror for a while, sighing, Minhee crossed her arms behind me and nodded.

“It’s neat.”

I didn’t say you were cute like yesterday.

So, it must be better than yesterday.

Hehe, the corners of Minhee’s lips twitched and the corners of his lips went up as well.

“I can’t avoid people saying I’m cute because I react to every single thing like that.”

After saying that, Minhee chuckled and went into the closet to change clothes.

When I heard that, I pulled down the corners of my lips that had been twitching, and as if that wasn’t enough, I pout.

But I didn’t like what I saw in the mirror, so I relaxed my expression again and turned my mouth away.

If you tease your mouth too much, it’s not pretty to look at.

As I was sighing deeply, Minhee, who had just changed her clothes, came out of the room.

He was wearing a black jacket that looked like he might ride a motorcycle at any moment, with a turtleneck pulled up to his belly button and jeans tucked in.

Plus, with the black hat on top, she looked like a strong older sister.

“… How is it?”

I thought Minhee might get upset because he was waiting for my reaction with his lips twitching.

But even so, it was still wonderful, so I stared blankly for a while before answering carefully.

“You look great.”

“Really? Then you want to wear one too?”

“Huh?”

“I have another similar jacket. Let’s wear a couple look today.”

As Minhee was saying that, he quickly took out a similar but slightly different leather jacket from his closet and handed it to me.

I was dumbfounded and just stared at it, then carefully reached out and picked up the clothes.

It felt strange to have such nice clothes in my hands that I wondered if I really needed to buy any clothes.

As I carefully wrapped myself in the clothes that I thought were nice, I had a strong feeling that the jacket was covering my thin body.

The corners of my mouth twitched involuntarily as I felt like I had gained some weight.

Although I didn’t grow taller, I still looked satisfied when I looked in the mirror.

I just wanted to grow taller in the future, so I just had to put in a little effort.

If I drink milk and go to bed early, I will become cool.

I wanted to be someone that people would say they get along well with when they’re around Minhee.

I twisted my body this way and that in the mirror to take in different angles of myself wearing the jacket.

And then I saw Minhee smiling broadly beyond the mirror.

“Like it?”

“Yeah, okay.”

“Okay, okay. Then shall we go?”

“Uh… Yeah. I saw it all. Let’s go!”

I followed Minhee to the front door, giggling like that.
