'How lovely! It makes me so eager to indulge! I want to devour him…'
"You lot, do you even know it's past lights out?!"
A sudden angry shout from next door shattered the increasingly intimate atmosphere between Ito Yoshito and Hazuki Miwako.
Hazuki Miwako, pushing off Ito Yoshito's shoulder, slid off his solid lap, which she had draped herself over without realizing it.
After putting away the thermometer and straightening her slightly disheveled collar, she turned back to Ito Yoshito, her delicate fingers lightly tapping her chin as she giggled, "Well, tonight doesn't seem to be the right time... Hehe..."
After Hazuki Miwako left, Ito Yoshito managed to calm his brother's anger a bit and lay back on the bed to get some rest.
However, sleep evaded him as images of Hazuki Miwako's enchanting smile raced through his mind, unable to overshadow the sorrow he felt from today's unjust tribulations.
"That annoying flirtatious nurse! She toys with a pure-hearted boy and then leaves! And I didn't even get her name!"
After waiting an hour for his ring to regain five points of shame, he finally fell asleep, using its effects to soothe his troubled mind.
The next morning, as Ito Yoshito woke up, he discovered that the nurse helping him change his dressings and check his temperature was not the alluring Hazuki Miwako from the night before, but a plump middle-aged nurse with her hair styled in two explosive buns and a height of about five feet.
She wore a smile akin to Hazuki Miwako's, but on her face, it had a very different effect; while Hazuki Miwako's smile exuded the charm of a fox, this nurse's smile resembled a fearsome grin, reminiscent of a ferocious beast.
"Ito-san, it's time for your dressing change, hehe..."
"Thanks, Auntie."
Ito Yoshito turned his head away uncomfortably as he took off his hospital gown.
"Oh my, the wound is healing quickly! You've got quite a strong body! I like that..."
Feeling as if he were facing a terrifying carnivorous dinosaur, Ito Yoshito remained silent, choosing not to engage with the nurse, enduring her blatant advances in silence.
As her actions escalated, Ito Yoshito, feeling increasingly uncomfortable, sat up and stated, "I can handle the rest on my own. I can do it myself."
The nurse's demeanor darkened upon being interrupted so rudely, and she remained silently by the bedside, the atmosphere around them thick with tension.
"Resistance? Hmph, the more you resist, the more excited I get! The night after tomorrow is my shift. Once you take that pill, you'll become nothing but a lustful wild dog, and I'll..."
The nurse thought grimly.
Having spent many years at this hospital, she had ruined many young lives with her underhanded antics.
She knew exactly how to exploit the vulnerable, taking photographs to threaten them, and leveraging her connections to intimidate, leaving them with no choice but to remain silent.
She wasn't foolish.
She only targeted regular rooms, avoiding patients in VIP single rooms entirely.
Over the years, she had never been caught, which gave her the confidence to keep repeating her acts.
Sensing the nurse's ill intentions, Ito Yoshito contemplated for a long time and ultimately decided to use his ring to read her thoughts.
In an instant, he absorbed all the secrets she had planned during the last ten hours.
After changing the dressing, the angry nurse stormed out, and Ito Yoshito lay back in bed, pondering how to deal with her impending nocturnal assault.
"What should I do..."
By noon, the nurse who came to deliver his meals was none other than Hazuki Miwako from the previous night.
Still dressed as before, she entered the room, her eyes sparkling with mischief as they landed on the picturesque view outside the window.
The sun streamed through the leaves, and dappled patterns danced across the bed, rare light illuminating the handsome face of the young man lying underneath.
"Wake up, Ito-san."
Despite wanting to let him enjoy the stunning scene, Hazuki Miwako had other pressing matters to attend to.
Gently nudged by her, Ito Yoshito, who had naively drifted off due to the warm sunlight, opened his dreamy eyes and saw the nurse from last night standing before him, murmuring a greeting, "Good morning, onee-san."
Her soft yet magnetic tone seemed to unlock something within Hazuki Miwako, causing her breath to quicken as she hid a secret held within her nurse's uniform.
Suppressing her inner flames of desire, she teased, "It's time to eat, Ito-san. And it's already noon!"
Ito Yoshito, now fully awake, felt no embarrassment as he ran his fingers through his tousled hair, laughing heartily, "I've just been too lazy. Thank you, nurse."
"Why don't you call me onee-chan, Ito-san?"
Hazuki Miwako pouted slightly, disappointment flickering in her eyes.
"Haha, my bad! I'm Ito Yoshito. Just call me Ito."
"I'm Hazuki Miwako, but you can call me Hazuki-oneechan."
"Okay, Hazuki-oneechan."
"Come eat lunch, Ito-kun."
As Hazuki Miwako opened the tray containing hospital food and reached out to hand it to Ito Yoshito, a sudden thought crossed her mind, and she paused, a glint in her eyes when he was about to grab it.
"Hazuki-oneechan?"
"Ito-kun, are you sure your injuries are that severe?"
"Yeah…" Ito Yoshito scratched his head in confusion. "Aren't nurses supposed to understand their patients' conditions?"
"Then let me help as your caretaker, Ito-kun!"
"That sounds a bit excessive... Don't you have other patients to attend to, Hazuki-oneechan?"
"There aren't many patients right now. I've already taken care of their lunches. Now, come on, ah…"
It was indeed true.
Ito Yoshito was the only one in his room, with several empty beds around him.
The hallway outside seemed equally quiet, devoid of sounds.
Hazuki Miwako was radiating joy as her reflective eyes sparkled with an inexplicable gleam.
Suddenly, Ito Yoshito felt a wave of intensity wash over Hazuki Miwako as she moved closer to him
Her gaze no longer meeting his but seemingly scanning his muscular form beneath the hospital gown, resembling a predatory serpent while he felt like an easy, helpless prey.
This sensation made Ito Yoshito uncomfortable, and he felt a slight sweat forming beneath his medical attire, causing his clothes to cling to his skin.
As he chewed on his food, Ito Yoshito attempted to engage Hazuki Miwako in casual conversation.
"Ito-kun, why are you sweating so much? Your clothes are soaked…"
Hazuki Miwako seemed slightly taken aback. Was it really that hot?
"I've always been a heavy sweater. Even slight exertion or nervousness makes me sweat a lot."
He recalled that the original owner of his body indeed had a similar issue.
"Are you that tense being alone with me, sister? Then take off your shirt!"
Without waiting for his response, Hazuki Miwako forcefully surged forward, beginning to unbutton his shirt.
"Uh, I…"
Ito Yoshito struggled...
But Hazuki Miwako pulled the fabric off roughly, exposing his well-defined chest and chiselled abs, glistening as sweat trickled down, moving along the contours of his muscles.
This sight made Hazuki Miwako's mouth water, and she could barely contain her desire as the potent masculine scent wafted towards her, clouding her judgment.
Watching Hazuki Miwako stare at him, captivated and lost in the moment, Ito Yoshito felt confused.
Choosing to ignore it, he picked up the now cold tray of lunch and dug in, feeling uncomfortable with how he had been eating before.
Suddenly, Hazuki Miwako stood up abruptly, bumping into Ito Yoshito, knocking the tray from his hands and spilling its contents.
"I'm sorry, Ito-kun! Wait here; I'll grab a cloth to clean it up," she said, not looking back as she hurried away.
Ito Yoshito, completely clueless, wondered what she was up to.
"Click."
He heard the sound of the lock turning without any noise from the door, and then Hazuki Miwako came back.
"Hazuki-oneechan, did you forget something?"
Hazuki Miwako remained silent, extending her hand to grasp the curtain by the bedside and gradually pulling it shut.
The entire scenario felt increasingly bizarre, filled with an uncanny atmosphere.
Slowly, she began to undo her nurse's uniform, turning to face Ito Yoshito, a mischievous smile creeping onto her lips.
"I'm here to... make sure you're all cleaned up!!!"
