104. The next day
The first thing I felt after opening my eyes was the feeling that it was hotter than usual.
Beyond the blurry pupils, subtle light brown hair comes into view.
My girlfriend.
It was Doa’s hair.
Doa sticks her head out from above the pure white blanket.
Doa must have been quite tired, so even though I was rustling next to her and writhing her body, she was only making small, regular breathing noises.
He reaches out her hand and straightens her hair.
When the tip of her fingernail lightly touched her cheek, her right eyebrow moved for a moment and then returned to its original position.
You really did it.
The more I wake up, the clearer my memories become.
I feel like I’m having a dream like cotton candy.
Wasn’t it a dream so sweet that it seemed to melt in her mouth?
But yesterday it was not a dream at all.
Because right now, under this blanket.
As she moves her arm buried beneath her, Doa’s thigh touches her hand.
Are people naturally this hot when they sleep?
Even though she only lightly touched Doa’s thighs, it felt quite hot.
She slowly pulled her hand up and lightly touched her dainty buttocks, which she normally would never even think about touching.
-Gulp
Inside my room where I can’t hear any sound.
The sound of swallowing saliva felt very loud.
I had a strong desire to squirm, but I could barely hold back.
Just because she crossed the line on her day doesn’t mean I can do as she pleases.
At least I didn’t think it would be a good idea to do various things without Doa’s knowledge while she was sleeping.
Even so, the guy who would raise his head every morning was protesting violently as if he were aware of Doa’s presence, so I made up my mind not to suffer for no reason and to get up and go to sleep first.
When I got out of bed, traces of yesterday remained clearly on the floor.
Doa’s black knit.
Even my t-shirt with a slightly stretched neck.
I was picking up clothes one by one and piling them on the chair.
…Hmm.
A fabric too soft to exist in our home came into my hands.
Yesterday’s memories replayed like a movie, and I remembered Doa wearing this again.
Really yesterday…
“…What are you doing?”
I was holding my panties with both hands and staring at them, but I was so startled by a voice coming from behind that I lost sight of the item.
A piece of cloth falls awkwardly on the floor.
When I was embarrassed and turned my back to explain, Doa suddenly screamed.
“Kyaaa!”
It didn’t take long to figure out what was so surprising.
Because I am now.
Because I wasn’t wearing anything.

-Hurup Hururup
A slightly undercooked noodle is sucked into the mouth of my brother, who is wearing pajama pants and a white T-shirt.
Maybe he was very hungry, but every time my brother used his chopsticks, a loud noise rang out.
“Ah.”
My boyfriend picks up the bowl and drinks the entire soup.
Maybe the reason he ate so quickly was because I gave him noodles.
But I also had a situation.
No. That’s right.
They say they saw Amman yesterday…
That… That… That’s disgraceful… That…
The relationship between us is still a bit awkward to get used to that friend.
It seemed like it would take a long time to get used to it.
“What are you going to do today?”
I haven’t even eaten half of it yet, but there was very little left in my brother’s bowl.
“I. There’s nothing special about it. “Maybe a part-time job later this evening?”
“Ah… Right…”
Something.
Something was subtly awkward.
There’s nothing special about what you’re saying, and it seems like it’s something you’ve always said.
The air flowing between us felt like we were awkward friends we hadn’t seen in a long time.
“And you?”
“I am…”
There were things that needed to be done, but nothing was urgent.
If you really want to ask, is it about reviewing the personal broadcast content plan?
The company had to submit a draft of how the broadcast would be conducted every week.
There were some things I said I would do first or that I wanted to try, and there were also cases where the company made an offer first.
In such cases, it was often broadcast with the so-called ‘homework’ concept, including advertisements.
“I just want to get some rest.”
He said he would take a break without much meaning.
A shadow suddenly appeared on my brother’s face.
“Is it because it hurts too much?”
“Yes?”
It doesn’t seem like there’s any particular pain.
I tilted my head and shook my head at my brother’s unknown question.
“Ah… Well… There are many people who say it hurts after the first experience…”
Of course, I felt a little sick yesterday.
It was a bit difficult at first, especially after turning off the fire, but after that…
-Chii Iik
Someone please sprinkle some water on me.
It felt like steam was rising from above my head.
“I… I don’t think… I’m… Okay… Right now…”
“Really?”
My older brother smiles as if he is happy.
…Handsome.
How can he be so handsome even without any makeup?
Of course, I might have felt that way because I was my brother’s girlfriend, but that wasn’t the case.
It was just right that this person was objectively cool.
“…I want to stop eating.”
My stomach felt somewhat full, and it seemed right to go home now.
“Do you want to do that?”
“Yes.”
I took the dishes to the sink, washed them, and then put on my coat.
“Go in carefully.”
“It’s right next door, so be careful going in.”
“Still.”
I tried to shake off the man who said he would take me home, and closed the front door, saying I would contact him later.
Ha… When I get home, I clean first.
“…Ugh!”
From noble mtl dot com
It was the moment I took my first step towards the stairs.
It felt like someone hit my back with a hammer, and a short scream came out of my mouth.
You… It hurts so much…!
After holding on to the railing, I debated for about 10 seconds about whether I should call my brother, but I decided to just go home under my own power.
That’s right.
If you tell them not to worry and then come home crying in just 30 seconds, you’ll be out of shape.
After successfully reaching the first floor by gently relying on the railing, I had to repeat the same process when I arrived at my building.
It really hurts…
I lay down on the bed without even changing my clothes and felt like there were tears in my eyes.
I should have just stayed at my brother’s house longer and then come back.
Now, whenever something hurts or something sad happens, Taemin’s face is the first thing that comes to mind.
To be honest, I didn’t think he was a good type of person to rely on.
Sometimes, the boldness or courage that my brother showed seemed to keep turning me into a child.
“Ouch, ouch…”
When I lifted my back to take out my phone, the pain came again.
I received a missed call, so I checked who it was and immediately sent a message.
[I was out a little while ago so I couldn’t hear from you. Is it urgent?]
Our manager.
It was Jiye’s older sister.
[Ah. Mr. Luca! Can I talk to you for a moment?]
[Yes yes! Now is the time!]
What is happening?
I didn’t have any urgent plans after January 1st, so I found my sister’s call quite surprising.
I wondered if I had made another mistake, but I had no clue.
As I held on to my phone with a slightly nervous mind, the long-awaited call arrived right away.
[Hello?]
[Ah! Yes Mr. Luca!]
[Yes! Manager!]
Judging by the tone of voice, it didn’t seem like the agenda had such a harsh atmosphere.
[Ah~ Mr. Luca! It’s no different from when I visited the studio before that.]
[Yes yes!]
[Are you a senior from the school I gave your business card to at that time? Motive? Could you please tell me the number?]
When I realized who the manager was looking for, I felt my body becoming stiff.
[Uh… May I know why you’re like that?]
[Ah. I gave him a business card, but he never contacted me, so we tried to contact him first and set up another meeting.]
What is the right way to do it?
It was a matter of congratulations that my brother’s job was going well and he became a YM model, an actor, or anything else, but giving out his number on my own…
[Ah… Since this is personal information, I think it would be okay for me to share it without permission.]
From what I can think of right now, this seemed like the best decision.
[Can I just tell you to contact my brother again?]
[Ah~ Then Mr. Luca! Please be kind to me! It would be better if you tell them that you promise to treat them with no regrets!]
[Ah… Yes… I understand…]
[Then, take a good rest, and if you need anything else or have any inquiries about the broadcast, please contact us!]
[Yes. Thank you.]
After finishing the call, go into the messenger app.
My brother’s profile registered in the Favorites tab at the top.
Enclosed inside the small circle was a photo of my brother and I smiling brightly.
“Haa…”
It was a feeling of frustration for which the reason was unknown.
