I looked at the clock and saw that it was past breakfast time.
I got up, rubbed my eyes and looked over at the bed where my two sisters were moving around.
'They've already left for work... Hmmm.
I didn't recognise the bed, but I knew it, and there was a strange emptiness about it.
Maybe last night and this morning were too full.I can't even count on one hand.
Soo-jung kept putting his hands on my body or crossing his legs, and Geum-Bi always stuck her bottom in my face.
If I squirmed to make room, Soo-jung would notice and pinch my limbs.
If I moved my hand to push them away, Geum-Bi would wince and my fingertips would brushed against her bottom.
It was annoying for a young man in his prime, and I managed to stay calm by gripping the duvet tightly.
I hope you can't see down there. Anyway, there's nothing I can do about it in the morning...'
I thought maybe they would understand now that I had explained it to both of them.
I felt like I was being violated, so I decided to hide it for now.
"It'll be fine, you'll get used to it after a few days.
I thought it was because they were uncomfortable on the first day, so I got up and left.
I was thinking about buying milk for breakfast and lunch when Hwa-yeon came down the stairs from the second floor.
"Hee hee, big brother, are you home yet?"
"Aren't you going to school today?"
"I'm not going to school today. ...No, this time it's for real, what's with the look?"
"You must have a very colourful criminal record. Would you like some milk?"
"Damn it, you don't trust your own brother, what can you do? I'll get the cup and you can pour it for me."
Hwa-yeon, suspecting that she had slapped Hugang again, lazily held out a glass of water.
I filled it with milk and looked at Hwa-yeon, who still hadn't woken up.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you looking at people's faces?"
"Maybe it's because it's morning, you're particularly ugly."
"You just have eyes, cheeks and puffiness."
"But you're all swollen up to your yogi nose, huh, huh, huh?"
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, why are you making noise in the morning... Awww."
Who's pointing at whose face.
Unfortunately, there were no mirrors in the kitchen, so I took over, and Hwa-yeon frowned and made faces at me.
"To keep things peaceful at home, just relax."
"Stop pressing the back of my nose, it hurts!"
"How are things? You're awake, aren't you?"
"Shhhh... You don't have to wake me up like that, you're so mean."
"Have some milk to wake you up. Want some cereal?"
"Ew, I see you don't listen to anyone. ...I'll have some chocolate, if you've got it. No, thanks."
"What a shame it only tastes like cereal."
"Ew. I'll have to ask Soo-Jung to buy me a new one."
Luckily, I wouldn't have to eat face-to-face with Hwayeon in broad daylight.
As I put the cereal in my bowl, I warned Hwayeon, who was looking for a chance to get even.
"Oh, Hwa-yeon Yang. Didn't you tell Sister Chung everything?"
"Huh? What, like what?"
"Oh, you mean about what happened in our bathroom."
"What?! I only told Geum-bi, but Soo-jung overheard by accident..."
"So you two found out in the end?"
"I didn't tell her you saw me naked or that you went into the changing room and had a look.
"Those two things are the same thing, and the peek is a lie."
"Anyway, not everything was caught."
"So you didn't just reveal that you caught me doing it in your room, you revealed everything, and you're talking a lot?"
"I'm sorry."
Thanks to Mr Nguyen, I became the guy who had sex in front of my sister.
Hwa-yeon realised her mistake, cringed and tolerated the violence.
It was a cheap punch, but it didn't hurt that much, so I pinched her while she slept.
I still got my coffee voucher, of course.
When I no longer insisted, Hwa-yeon hesitated and drank the rest of the milk in her cup.
"Well, I'll go in first."
"Are you going anywhere today?"
"I have a part-time job in the afternoon. ... You're not coming to see me again today, are you?"
"No, I won't. You're not going to a coffee shop to see your brother, no matter how beautiful you are."
"I didn't mean that! I thought you would come to tease me again."
"Oh, don't worry. He's not that lazy."
"Really? What are you doing today?"
"I'm going to exercise, take a walk around the neighbourhood and, when I get thirsty, I'll stop at a coffee shop I know for a coffee."
"But you're coming! I thought you said you weren't!"
"I'm not going to see you. The coffee there is really good, I always come back for more."
"You've only had it once before and you said you didn't like it because it was full of syrup."
"Maybe it's because it's made with my sister's love, but it's good."
"Mr Lee, if you're coming, at least let me know, so I can be prepared, Chit."
They live in the same house, what sort of preparation do I need?
It's not like I'm going to do any real damage there.
"It would be fun. Not that I'd actually do it, hmmmm.
My evil thoughts showed on my face, and Hwayeon looked at me cautiously.
I was just about to cheer him up and tease him some more when a small figure appeared behind me.
"Ah...! Brother, sister, are you awake?"
"Yes. Is our youngest awake too?"
"Yes, good morning."
It was Mokhee, our youngest son, who greeted me shyly, unlike Angkaljin Hwayeon.
I must have just eaten my cereal, I thought as I stood up and asked her what she needed.
"Do you want milk or water, or do you want me to make you breakfast?"
"Water, please. Thank you, big brother."
"You're welcome.By the way, isn't my youngest's pocket money enough? Isn't he earning a lot of money these days?"
"Oh, no... I'm fine for now."
"Well, save it in advance. You're an MT, you'll probably be getting money again soon."
"Is that so? I'll be grateful."
Mok-hee bowed his head for just a few bucks, and I wanted Hwa-yeon to see and learn that kind of education.
A good child should be rewarded.Shouldn't she use her military savings for something like this?
"About 200,000 won should be enough, right?"
"Yes... it's more than enough, big brother."
"Wait, wait, wait, wait! Wait, time!"
Hwa-yeon, who was listening, interrupted just as he was about to send the money via the app on his mobile phone.
Mokhee jumped back slightly in surprise, and Hwa-yeon ran in front of me, looking at me.
"Why is Mokhee getting 200,000 won out of the blue? I only got 100,000 won after all that trouble last time!"
"Are you jealous of your sister because she's the older one? Are you not ashamed of yourself?"
"Ah... that's not the same thing! It's family discrimination."
"If you put it that way, Hwa-yeon, I haven't given you pocket money since you were a bad student, don't you remember?"
"Was it 100,000 won or 50,000 won?"
"Hey, I was active back then. 50,000 won is a lot of money for a soldier."
"That was a long time ago. Anyway, the problem now is the difference in the way you treat me and Mok-hee! Before, I was just giving her milk and bullying her, and she asked me if I'd make her breakfast as soon as she saw me."
"Don't forget the past. Remember the brother who tried to steal your money when you were on holiday and the sister who wrote to you every day since you were in boot camp. Who would you rather have in my place, eh?"
"That's, ah... Shii, but it's still discrimination, and I'll bite you when my sisters come!"
"Stop it, stop it. I can see you're going to be told off for talking nonsense."
I sighed, waving my hands in the air, and Hwa-yeon went back to her room, looking frustrated.
Meanwhile, Mokhee, who had been watching the situation, frowned and rubbed his fingers together, as if he had done something wrong.
"Aww, me big brother... from what I've heard, I don't think I'll need that much."
"Don't worry, Hua Yan, she's not really in a bad mood because of the allowance."
"Eh? Well, so what?"
"You said it yourself, the way I treat her and the way Mok-hee treats her are very different. That, and the usual resentment, is why you're upset."
"It's the same problem, isn't it? It seems to be even worse..."
"It's all your karma. Don't worry, I'll go to the cafeteria later and buy you a juice to make you feel better."
I was impressed by my youngest's thoughtfulness and sent her another 50,000 won allowance.
Later, when Hyeon-yeon went to her part-time job, she tried to punch me while I was sitting on the living room sofa, but it didn't really hurt me.
You're acting like a child when you know the younger girl's situation.Eh, I'll definitely stop by the cafeteria today.I'm going to the gym first, then...
I needed to burn off some energy as it was the middle of the night.
This time, I did my homework and found a well-equipped gym, and I joined it before I lost my resolve.
The plan was only half successful.
My body felt great after a long time, and I was sweating a lot.
Her legs were too tired to walk to the cafeteria where she worked.
I thought, "Oh, never mind, I'll let her rest afterwards".
I hadn't done anything wrong.
When I got home, I washed up and went to bed, completely exhausted.
I was worried about what might happen.
I dozed off, and when I woke up, it was late at night.
* * *
"Terra, Terra, wake up!"
"Huh? What, when did your sister get off work?"
"Hey... if you don't mind, can I talk to your sister for a while?"
"Huh? Eh, I don't mind... Why?"
When I woke up, Suzy looked a little sad.
I looked at her seriously and sat up straight.
"You know, did something happen with Hwa-yeon today?"
"Hwa-yeon? We talked about giving the youngest some pocket money, but...?"
"Well, it got a bit out of hand."
"What do you mean, it got out of hand? He told his sisters about something so insignificant, didn't he?"
I got up, even though it was annoying, and went to comfort Hwa-yeon when she got home.
When I looked worried, she patted me on the shoulder to calm me down.
"Well, we're done with this story for now."
"How?"
"Hwa-yeon was really excited and kept asking me and Geum-bi for things, but when she finished, Geum-bi tidied up. What happened last time was an accident, and what happened today wasn't your fault."
"That's good. I'll thank her later."
"But... there are two more problems from there."
"Why? Isn't that the end of the story once she's solved the problem?"
When I tilted my head in confusion, Soo-jung raised his head slightly and looked up.
"First of all... Hwanyeon is pouting so much that she's locked herself in her room."
"She's jealous because I gave her some money, and before that she tried to blackmail you to get it back, and now she's a red herring?
"Also, she speaks in a harsh way. You know how they are, these two... when they argue, nobody wants to lose."
"Ah, yes. I know."
They're the two most temperamental people in the house.
Maybe Hwa-yeon didn't really want to ask for help, she just wanted to be consoled by Soo-jung.
Geumbi's sister, who was listening next to her, told Hwa-yeon off again, and she went into her room because she was sad.Hmph, I can see how you feel.
In Mokhee, the problem was more about discrimination between families than the allowance itself, so I felt it was an extension of that.
Looking back, I've also been very bad with Hwa-yeon lately. Honestly, I need to calm her down.
"I'll go to her room later.I'm sorry if I made a big deal out of it."
"No, Terra, you didn't do anything wrong."
"Ha... But you said you had two problems, what's the other one?"
"Ah, yes. I think I'm the only one who noticed that, not the others..."
Saying this, Suzanne bit her lip and looked away.
Her attitude suggested that the problem was related to me, and what she said next was shocking.
"Geum-Bi said during the fight: 'We met in the toilet. I'm not from Earth, and there's no way Hwa-yeon can get excited about you.'"
"What?"
"He sounded annoyed, but there was also something about the way he said it that made me think he was convinced."
"Ugh."
"By any chance... Terra, do you have any guesses?"
Geum Bi, what were you talking about during the fight?
The two parties, Geumbi and Hwayeon, were too busy arguing to notice, but Suzy, who was watching from the sidelines, must have noticed something.
"Did something happen between you two?"
Although she seemed hesitant, she looked up sharply and said.
Crystal's hand was now on my thigh, holding it gently but firmly, so that I couldn't move.
I can't believe I was asleep during all this.
I haven't been in shape for a while, I shouldn't be pushing myself.
"Terra, have you ever been turned on by golden rain before?"
"...!"
When I hesitated to answer, Soo-Jung became more and more direct.
At the same time, I felt myself being drawn closer to her, and I could feel the pressure in my chest.
I looked around and saw that the door was already locked.
There was nowhere to run, and her eyes were on me.
