My Younger Sister Was My First Love

98. The Troublemaker

Emotions are like a riddle.

In other words, you first feel a certain way, and then you try to figure out why you felt that way.

Even though I was on vacation, I was still fuming.

“…Oppa.”

Right now, I was trying to sort out the reasons for my anger.

On the way back to our lodging from the beach.

I hadn’t said a single word to Jihee.

Even if I apologize, saying I’m sorry.

Even if I act cute and charming from the side.

Even if I whine, asking if this is really happening.

My mood still didn’t improve, showing no signs of clearing up.

It was the

“……You’re not like that.”

There was a reason for Jihee’s timid resistance.

Maybe it was because we were talking about Minju.

But I was tired of being the only one to worry about fairness and justice.

Why do I always have to be the one to compromise?

You don’t even care about how much I’m suffering, and you just manipulate me as you please.

Then I will too.

I decided not to hide my insecurities and anxiety to overcome them.

“Your words are right. I do things for you, but you don’t do the same for me.”

It was truly unfair.

Ironically, Jihee’s face lit up with an even brighter smile.

“……You’re bad.”

“You’re worse.”

“I knew you would cover for me, so I did it.”

“I knew you would accept this, so I’m asking for it.”

“Then are we both trash?”

It was a perfectly right thing to say.

But it was you who made me like this.

No matter how hard I tried to be rational and reasonable, Jihee kept pulling me into the abyss of desire.

“I saw that the main characters in Ince#stuous dramas are all trash.”

“Oh, you finally realized the truth? Oppa.”

Jihee got up from the bed and grabbed my wrist, pulling me towards him.

I didn’t resist.

I knew that I had to pay the price for making this unreasonable demand.

“You should show me more than you do to others.”

Jihee started to lift up his shirt.

The sight was not much different from what I saw when we went swimming.

His pure white skin.

His slim waist.

Only his bra covered his upper body.

“……Oppa, take it off too.”

Jihee smiled slyly and whispered to me in a small voice.

“Take it off?

“Yes, take it off. You were already topless earlier.”

This was not a room where I could refuse.

Even though I thought of my mom, I lifted up the hem of my T-shirt.

We sat facing each other on the bed, not touching each other.

We just gazed at each other’s bodies.

As Jihee requested, I carefully examined his body.

Neck. Shoulders. Chest. Waist. Belly button. Hips.

I thought it would be a gaze that would make me feel uncomfortable to the point of being annoying.

But Jihee, on the contrary, took an even more proactive stance, as if asking me to look at her more.

“Can you memorize this too, Oppa, since you’re so smart?”

“I don’t know.”

Although I said I didn’t know, I probably won’t be able to forget this scene until I die.

“Can I just hold your hand?”

I thought more intense skinship would follow, but unexpectedly, Jihee didn’t ask for anything more.

She subtly extended her hand forward.

The sibling-like pose, with our hands clasped and eyes locked.

“I’m sorry about earlier, Oppa.”

Jihee apologized to me again.

“……It’s okay. No one saw it anyway.”

“And I have something to say to you, Oppa.”

“What is it?”

“I actually bought two swimsuits.”

A giant question mark appeared above my head.

“You bought two swimsuits?”

“Yes, two of the same ones.”

I had let Jihee handle the payment that day.

“Why?”

“That’s because you picked it out, Oppa. You chose it, and it’s a couple item, so how could I ruin it?”

Jihee, who had suddenly stood up, rummaged through her bag and pulled out a brand-new, identical swimsuit.

“This is the one you picked out at the store.”

……I was going crazy.

The only thought that came to mind was that I was going crazy.

The fact that everything was part of Jihee’s plan hit me like a ton of bricks.

I couldn’t help but laugh maniacally.

“You’re crazy.”

“I like it.”

What kind of answer was that, Jihee?

Who would respond to “You’re crazy” with “I like it”?

Even though I knew it wasn’t right…

Even though I was furious just a moment ago…

With just one phrase, “I like it,” I immediately grabbed Jihee’s shoulder tightly.

“When will you stop this?”

“Until you can do the same to me, Oppa.”

A stubbornly defiant response.

I pressed my lips to my sister’s, as if telling her not to say another word.

My sister didn’t resist.

It was as if she would accept any punishment I gave her, sticking out her tongue instead.

Body temperature rising as skin touches skin.

Unlike a little while ago when the ocean breeze had suppressed the heat, it wasn’t the case now.

I could feel the sweat droplets trickling down my spine.

Jihee was the same.

With my hand on Jihee’s waist, I could feel the moisture accumulating on my palm.

“Haah… Haah…”

As I parted my lips, I heard a faint breathing sound.

Jihee’s face, flushed bright red, gazed at me lovingly.

“Really, not doing it?”

“Not doing it.”

“I brought condoms, though.”

I had to admit it.

Jihee was a god of preparedness.

From now on, I wouldn’t be surprised no matter what Jihee pulled out or where.

“We promised, didn’t we? After your college entrance exam.”

I couldn’t bring myself to say it first.

“Then should I wait till then?”

“Yeah, wait. You’ll get into Korea University.”

“I’m really going, Lee Jun-ho.”

Jihee’s index finger traced my lips, still numb from the kiss.

-Ringtone

My phone was ringing.

It was like a drama, really.

I got out of bed and picked up my phone from the desk.

The caller was my mom.

“Mom’s calling.”

“Answer it.”

“It’s a video call.”

“Should I ignore it?”

It was ridiculous to suggest ignoring it, considering my mom had paid for this place.

If I ignored the call and continued kissing Jihee, I might lose my mind.

“Put your clothes on. I’ll answer it.”

“Okay.”

I quickly put my T-shirt back on, and Jihee also put on the clothes they had taken off earlier.

“Hmm… Hmm…”

After clearing my throat.

[Hello?]

As the screen opened, my mom’s happy face appeared.

[Oh, you’re already there?]

[Yeah, I just got to the dorm.]

[It looks like that. Oh, it’s really hot. You’re sweating a lot.]

It was a moment when I resented modern science, which even catches sweat droplets.

[Did you just call to ask how we’re doing?]

[Yeah, I came to see how our kids are doing.]

At the mention of “daughter,” I instinctively bit my lip with my front teeth.

To my mom, Jihee is her daughter.

I’m her son.

Just a minute ago, I was holding my mom’s daughter’s waist and mindlessly kissing her lips.

[But what about Jihee?]

[Oh, auntie!]

Jihee, dressed up, swiftly stood next to me.

[We’ve arrived safely!]

[How’s it going? Is the lodging good?]

[Yes! I saw Oppa, and I really liked it.]

As soon as we got here, all she did was complain about why I messed up her bikini, and that was it.

Jihee was deceiving our mom again with her natural, flowing lies.

[Okay, okay. Mom’s happy too. Show us around the lodging.]

At my mom’s words, we hastily started a tour of the room.

[It would be nice to try the jacuzzi later. Would it be okay if you kids do it together?]

At my mom’s words, a faint, bitter smile appeared on Jihee’s lips.

[Hmm… If Oppa’s okay with it, I’ll try to do it together.]

I was holding the phone, and the camera was only capturing our upper bodies.

When the jacuzzi topic came up, Jihee slyly stroked the back of my thigh with her palm.

The sensation sent shivers down my spine, making my hair stand on end.

I couldn’t even say “don’t do that” and had to remain frozen like an ice statue.

[Okay, okay. You kids coordinate and try it out. It’s a shame if you don’t.]

My mom smiled brightly, unaware of anything, with a look that seemed pleased that the kids were having fun.

I felt a sense of disgust that made me want to vomit.

Jihee’s palm was still touching the inside of my thigh.

But it seemed like she was trying to maintain a boundary, not touching any more unusual areas.

[Okay, okay. What about dinner?]

[We’re going to the hotel buffet! Dad reserved it for us.]

[Did he do that too?]

[Yeah, I begged him to take me, so he did. Hehe.]

That was a story I didn’t know about.

[Well, have fun and come back safely tomorrow. Mom’s going to stop bothering you now.]

My mom waved at us, and we responded with the same motion, ending the call.

“Jihee, you really… not at other times, but when you’re on the phone with Mom!”

“But this is bad, Grandma.”

I scowled.

“What’s wrong with our mom?”

“The atmosphere that was going well was ruined by Grandma.”

My younger sibling, who was walking slowly, stopped in front of the Jacuzzi and turned the faucet.

-Gush, gush, gush-

The sound of water pouring out.

“Shall we continue what we were doing?”
