“You don’t have to worry too much. Besides, it’s already… something that’s happened.”

“Still… …I’m sorry.”

Although Dabin and I had become involved in a truly unbelievable relationship overnight, it wasn’t as if that relationship was filled only with difficulties.

Ah, the act itself was extremely problematic. There’s nothing I can say to defend it, nor do I intend to.

What I want to say is that Dabin is acting far more submissively than I expected, considering the act.

“…Of course, I’m really sorry to you, Hayoon…”

“Ah, no. It was something done while drunk… So it’s a bit hard to scold you too much…”

To be frank, I wouldn’t strongly stop Dabin even if she tried light skinship with Woojin right now.

I thought it would be better to simply allow a friend’s one-sided love to some extent, rather than having rumors spread outside like, ‘Hayoon and Hayoon’s younger sister are having sex with the same man.’

Of course, I might show annoyance, asking them to be a bit more discreet in front of me… but I probably wouldn’t have such a violent reaction as trying to forcibly separate them.

But as I mentioned earlier, Dabin was much more submissive than I had expected.

It wasn’t just submissive; she seemed intimidated, as if saying, ‘I am a sinner.’

…Of course, since she forcibly took my boyfriend while I was asleep, she is a sinner. She is indeed a terrible rapist.

But at the same time, considering she holds my fatal weakness, she’s very…

Meek-feeling…?

“…S-Should I boil some ramen, at least…?”

“No, no. Now we just have to wait for it to boil.”

“Uh… then, waking Jiyoon up…?”

“Th-that would be good. She doesn’t wake up easily once she falls asleep, so you have to grab her feet and shake her vigorously.”

“Okay.”

Thinking about it, Dabin always had a meek impression.

Her appearance and how she styled herself were a bit… to put it nicely, flamboyant, and to put it badly, like a delinquent. But as a person, she always had a meek impression.

That, what was it? A Golden Retriever?

Even if not that extreme, she used to love playing and joking around with friends.

Is that why Dabin is being so submissive?

Because she doesn’t want to fight with a friend?

“……”

Hmmm.

The idea that Dabin might want Woojin in exchange for keeping the secret…

It might just be my unnecessary anxiety…

“…Thank you for the meal.”

I had expected it since I saw Dabin’s state, but our breakfast proceeded in an excessively quiet atmosphere.

The only sounds heard were compliments about how well the ramen was cooked, and the light slurping of noodles.

Even these only lasted at first; later, perhaps due to nerves, everyone began quietly cutting their noodles with their front teeth.

Accordingly, we didn’t exchange any words throughout the meal.

How was the meal yesterday,

How was the alcohol we drank yesterday,

Weren’t the cocktails good,

Aren’t you curious who cleaned?

Many thoughts came to mind, but I couldn’t utter a single word.

Are you and Senior really in that kind of relationship?

Since when have the three of you been secretly meeting?

So, who ejaculated more yesterday?

Even these kinds of questions, which Jiyoon would likely blurt out, were not heard at all.

…If it were just because she blacked out, that would be a relief, but it probably isn’t.

Just now, when Dabin woke Jiyoon up and brought her out, a KakaoTalk message came to my phone from Jiyoon.

Saying ‘sorry’.

A message I desperately wanted to block.

“I’ll clean up, so please rest, Noona.”

“…Ah, okay.”

“Everyone, please put your plates and spoons into the pot…”

…Right. Yesterday, Jiyoon was also very drunk.

It’s probably right to see it as a series of misfortunes piling up, ultimately leading to an accident.

Having finished my reply, I stretched briefly and glanced sideways at the faces of the other two.

Although it was unfair to suddenly become someone who enjoys 3P sex with a friend overnight, as long as I don’t make a mistake in front of Jiyoon, it’ll be fine.

Perhaps we can just return to our daily lives, leaving behind a slightly embarrassing memory.

The relationship between Dabin and Woojin, which I was worried about, also seems like it won’t be a big concern if things stay this way.

Occasionally. Very occasionally trying to seduce Woojin is… well…

I can turn a blind eye to that in exchange for keeping the secret.

Thus, feeling a little better, I handed the dishes to Woojin, but only for a moment.

Dabin, who had been silent for several minutes, finally opened her mouth.

“…Jiyoon-ah. Do you… remember what happened yesterday…?”

“……”

Right, I was the only one who saw the KakaoTalk message Jiyoon sent.

“I remember. Your room was incredibly noisy in the early morning, Unnie.”

“…Th-that’s right…”

“Didn’t you clearly say ‘sex partners’?”

It would have been good if she had cleverly pretended to have blacked out, but our Jiyoon, who lacks social awareness, simply answered straightforwardly.

Lee Jiyoon, wearing a confident expression as if she didn’t know what was wrong.

In contrast, Dabin’s pale face was gradually being dyed a reddish-orange hue.

“Honestly, I was really surprised. I naturally thought Unnie was inconsiderately having loud sex, but then I saw Senior lying face down on the bed right there.”

“…I was surprised too. The door suddenly opened…”

You’re the one who was inconsiderately having loud sex, you idiot.

If I had my way, I’d pinch her thigh to punish her, but unfortunately, she’s a bit too far away.

At this distance, maybe I could just barely extend my leg and kick her shin forcefully…

“Do you know how it sounded from the living room? Senior’s moans and the bed springs were overlapping so much… It was enough to make me sigh, thinking, ‘Oh, Unnie’s getting screwed again.’”

“…Well, you’re really calm. I thought you’d be a bit more annoyed since we woke you up from a good sleep…”

“I’m just used to it now. …Besides, Senior, you know now too, don’t you?”

“……”

“What kind of relationship me, Unnie, and Seo Woojin have, the three of us.”

But I only thought about it; I couldn’t put it into action.

Because the gaze that had been fixed on Dabin had subtly shifted towards me.

“But Unnie. How long have you and Senior been like this?”

“…Uh, how long?”

“Just curious.”

“Hmm… Well…”

It’s been about 10 hours now.

However, what’s needed now is a much longer period.

At the same time, it needs to be a period that sounds natural for Jiyoon to hear.

The most suitable time for that is probably…

“…Th-this topic came up around last summer vacation…? Right? Dabin-ah?”

“…Huh?”

“Back then, we talked about a lot of explicit things among ourselves. …Ahaha.”

“Ah… r-right… We did…”

Around that time.

After saying it, I wondered if half a year was too long…,

but I explained it as ‘the timing when the topic came up’ for now.

If they were familiar enough to be doing it as a trio, I thought it would take at least that long.

“You remember when I went to that pension, Jiyoon, don’t you?”

“Yeah.”

“That was me, Woojin, Dabin, and Dabin’s boyfriend. The four of us went…”

“…Wait. So you mean four of you, including Senior’s boyfriend…?”

“No, no…! First, it was just Dabin and me… We simply talked about how good Woojin’s body was… and whether he was good at se…x, things like that, and as we kept talking…”

“Just the three of you, including Seo Woojin?”

“…Yeah.”

“Hmm.”

That never happened.

When I went to the pension, it was just with Woojin… …Well, there was one time we secretly had sex while covering our mouths next to Dabin who was sleeping, but…

Anyway, I’ve never had a conversation like that with Dabin.

How could I talk about Woojin’s body?

Of course, he’s on the good side, but Dabin’s ex-boyfriend also had a good body, didn’t he?

Of course, I can’t brag that Woojin is incredibly good at sex either.

I have one or two friends who talk like that, but…

…Maybe because this is my first boyfriend,

I can’t really do that.

“Then when did the three of you start doing it?”

“…After summer vacation ended… a little while after…”

“……”

Actually, it’s a ridiculous story.

At that time, Dabin and Woojin would have met maybe twice? How could they be having sex then?

It would be a different story if it were a one-night stand or rape, but it’s awkward to say for a normal relationship.

But Jiyoon, who like me was new to dating guys, didn’t harbor any particular doubts about this and moved on to the next topic.

“So you were doing it since then and hid it from me… Hmm…”

“…Huh?”

“Besides, I’m really close with Dabin Senior now…”

…Ah, that’s right.

From Jiyoon’s perspective, now that she’s sober, that makes sense.

Since not only me but also she treats Woojin like a boyfriend…

She might feel like something was stolen from her without her knowing.

“…B-but I couldn’t tell your story, could I? How would I explain this to Dabin?”

“I understand a hundred times over that you couldn’t explain it to Senior… But conversely, I thought it would have been okay to tell me.”

“Uh… Hmm…”

“I’m a little bit hurt…”

Is that so…?

Now that I hear it, it does seem a bit like that, doesn’t it…?

There’s no need to hide it from Jiyoon, actually.

I said ‘summer vacation’ to match the story, but perhaps I should have chosen a more recent time?

If I had, wouldn’t something else have been picked apart then, different from now?

But it’s too late now to say that Dabin was drunk and r-raped Woojin, isn’t it…

As I played with my water glass, lost in a headache-inducing thought, Jiyoon’s voice reached my ears again.

“That won’t do.”

“…W-what won’t do…?”

“You hid this, Unnie, and that’s too cheeky. It won’t do.”

“……”

Is it right for a younger sister to use the expression ‘cheeky’ toward her older sister?

My doubts continued from my previous thoughts, but I didn’t have much time to dwell on them.

Because Jiyoon, comfortably adjusting her posture on the chair, nonchalantly presented her ‘demand’.

“What day is it today?”

“Uh… it’s mid-February anyway. Why do you ask?”

“Then I’ll just confiscate him until school starts.”

“Confiscate…? What…?”

“What do you mean ‘what’?”

She had just said she was ‘hurt’, and now,

this time, she wore a pleasant smile.

“Unnie’s boyfriend. Confiscated for two weeks.”

With her fingers,

forming a V-sign.

*****

– …There’s no way around it. You were the academy’s student council president, after all.

“I know. I know, but…”

– Besides, they say that’s how it’s normally done, right? You’re not doing anything special?

“I said I know… I’m just too lazy to do it, so I’m complaining to you.”

– Wow, you’re really mean. When I contacted you saying I met a super hot guy, you immediately hung up saying you were busy? And now you complain to me?

“……Shut up. I’ve listened to everything you’ve said about Seo Woojin since then.”

– That’s because you were also slightly excited and talked about how to make someone feel good…

“Anyway, are you coming to the graduation ceremony?”

– I have time, so I’ll go. Oh, I’ll bring Sua-chan too. Even if we can’t take family photos, it’s good to have lots of friend photos, right?

“…Okay.”

– …Is Seo Woojin free?

“That… I haven’t asked yet… If he wants to come, he’ll come, and if he’s busy, he won’t.”

– …….

“……Say something.”

– ……Alright! I’ve started recording, so will you be honest now? That you miss him?

“Ah, damn it… Get lost…! I’m hanging up…”

– Master, I miss you, pant pant. Something like that, you know. If you’re a gumiho, you have to be good at these things to be loved…
