24. In Bath with Little Sister
When I was young, I had a phobia of bathrooms. Because my biological parents abused me, mostly in the bathroom, basically, there was a lot of hitting and kicking. Then, sometimes, they put my head in a bathtub filled with water, spray cold water in the middle of winter, and, conversely, spray hot water.
Depending on the situation, such punishments were added. As a result, I became afraid of bathrooms, because all I remember about the bathroom was pain and fear.
It was the same when I was adopted into this house.
When I first entered the bathroom, I screamed and ran away.
My older sister grabbed me and dragged me into the bathroom.
Mom washed my body with gentle hands.
Lye played next to me and showed me that the bathroom was a happy place, not a painful place.
Okay. It wasn't the bathroom that hit me; it was my biological parents; now I am with a new family, not those parents.
There was no need to be afraid of the bathroom itself, and It wasn't until much later that I realized that simple fact.
After that, my bathroom phobia got better little by little as the whole family took baths together.
It was fun taking a bath together.
I filled the large bathtub with water and splashed around.
There were times when I slipped and fell on the bathroom floor, but it wasn't as painful as getting beaten by my biological parents.
Then, as my sister's breasts began to grow, we naturally began to wash ourselves separately.
Was that already 10 years ago?
It had been a long time since I had taken a bath with Lye like this.
"Whoa… ♡"
Lye sinks into the bathtub. She even makes a sound as if she feels good about the warm water.
Okay. It's good up to that point.
The problem was that I got into the bath first and then Lye, so this time, she was sitting on my legs again.
This bathtub is spacious; about 5 to 6 people can fit in at once.
So, there was no need for her to sit on my lap, as her butt was on my thigh.
Lye's body was soft and elastic. A similar thing happened with Older Sister, but now that we were both naked, the sensation felt even more vivid.
"Hey, Lye?"
"What?"
Lye's answer was still cold, So much so that it felt cold even in a hot bath.
"The bathtub is spacious, so is there a need to sit on top of me?"
"Why? Am I heavy?"
Every word that she uttered was sharp.
"No, it's not heavy at all. Just..."
I was desperately suppressing my cock that was trying to wake up. If it happens, something really big will happen.
But I couldn't tell that to Lye, This was something I had to bear alone.
"Then it's okay."
Lye relaxed her body and leaned back against my chest.
The wet skin of Lye clings to mine.
Why are all women's bodies so soft?
"Or do you hate me that much?" It was a slightly pouty, sad voice.
"No? There's no way I hate you, right?"
"Then why don't you talk to me?"
"That's it."
I was speechless.
I can't say I did it because our older sister told me to.
I thought about preparing an excuse, but I couldn't come up with one yet.
"What? Why aren't you talking? If I did something wrong, you can tell me. Why aren't you talking?"
As she spoke, Lye began to cry more and more.
I didn't know what to do.
"Sorry. It's not because your wrong or did something, It's because of me."
In times like these, it would be nice to know how to say something witty.
"Why? What??"
"Well, I'm an adopted child, right?"
"Why are talking that now?"
"If we were siblings, no one would care whether we got along well or not. However, if we get along too well even though we are not biological siblings, some people will think it's strange."
At my words, Lye turned her head this way, and her eyes were filled with tears.
"What is that. Who cares what other people think!"
That was also correct.
If you were an ordinary person, you wouldn't have cared about what others said.
But Lye is not an ordinary person.
"You are an idol. Even if you haven't done anything wrong, there are people who will try to put you down in some way."
"If that's the case, I'd rather quit. I'm going to tell them I'm quitting."
Quitting, what?
I couldn't help but be surprised by Lye's sudden statement.
Whether you talk to your agency or social media, once you say something, you can't take it back.
"Wait a minute, calm down, Lye. It's not something you can quit just because you suddenly want quit, right? What about other members who work hard with you?"
"I don't know. I don't need it all, What's the use of all this?"
Lye seemed like she truly intended to quit.
Is it because of me? Is it because I said something stupid?
I should have spoken more carefully.
"I'm sorry, Lye. It's my fault. So don't say you're quitting, and I won't ignore you anymore."
I raised the white flag. Fuck, if she quit then, my older sister would pick me out for scolding, and Lye worked hard to be an idol from childhood. I don't want her to abandon that dream because of me.
"Really? Are you not going to ignore me anymore?"
"Uh. Really. I'll promise."
This can't be helped.
I have no choice but to be honest with my sister and ask for her forgiveness.
"Then grant my three wishes."
"Yeah, tell me."
