Chapter 36

“It’s a smell I’ve smelled somewhere before… what was it?”
Su-jeong noona sniffed, turning her head left and right.
Since we had lingered on the bed for a while after I came, the thick scent of semen permeated the room.
‘But I can’t tell her the truth… Gulp.’
I exchanged glances with Geum-bi noona, without Su-jeong noona noticing.
We quickly agreed to make up an excuse before her suspicions grew stronger.
“U-Unnie. Actually, Ji-gu and I were eating snacks… Maybe it’s that smell?”
“Snacks? What did you eat?”
“Uh, well… Chestnut… jelly?”
“You two shared chestnut jelly? Why?”
“Wh-Why? Because Ji-gu gave it to me, saying I worked hard… haha.”
Geum-bi noona did her best, but it wasn’t a good excuse.
‘Chestnut jelly isn’t something we usually eat…. She should have said chestnut ice cream.’
Maybe it would have been believable for our parents’ generation, but it was unusual for us siblings to like chestnut jelly.
Naturally, Su-jeong noona tilted her head with narrowed eyes.
“Ji-gu gave it to you? …Only to you, Geum-bi?”
“Ah, yeah. Someone Ji-gu knows gave him a few as a gift from Japan, so he didn’t have many… right?”
“Uh, yeah. If I had more, I would have given some to Su-jeong noona and the others, but there wasn’t enough. So I just called Geum-bi noona, who happened to be there, and we ate it.”
“Hee~ Is that so? Hmm~.”
Should I call it fortunate? Su-jeong noona wasn’t focused on the fact that we shared “chestnut jelly.”
Rather, she was questioning why I only gave it to “Geum-bi noona,” and when I naturally chimed in, she almost seemed convinced… almost.
“Do you think I’m stupid?”
“Huh?!”
“Uh, huh?”
Su-jeong noona placed her hands on her hips and looked back and forth between Geum-bi noona and me, as if dumbfounded.
Geum-bi noona gasped and held her breath, and I stammered in confusion, unable to stop Su-jeong noona’s approaching steps.
“So, you’re saying you ate this precious gift just the two of you, fine. But… if there was only a small amount, the smell wouldn’t be this strong, would it?”
“Huh?”
“Huh?”
“Chestnut jelly isn’t a strong-smelling food. Why don’t you just be honest and say you wanted to eat something delicious just the two of you?”
As she said this, Su-jeong noona gave me a hurt look and Geum-bi noona a sharp, dissatisfied glare.
She was completely wrong, but under the continued questioning, Geum-bi noona was the first to break.
“S-Sorry, unnie. W-Well, you know, I often talk to Ji-gu about things. And while we were talking, we just… ate it all.”
“Really? Did it taste good eating Ji-gu’s share?”
“Huh? Ah, the chestnut jelly… you mean? Yeah, it was okay.”
“What was it like?”
“Uh? Ah… well, it was soft, and smooth, but surprisingly firm to the touch… or something? Haha.”
Even though she caved, Su-jeong noona didn’t stop the pressure.
Geum-bi noona scratched her cheek, trying her best to describe the taste of chestnut jelly, which she had presumably never eaten before.
‘But, is she really talking about food? It feels like she’s describing the feeling of holding something in her hand rather than the taste.’
Even though I didn’t think it was the case, I felt a pang of guilt.
Even though she was talking to Geum-bi noona, it might have been because Su-jeong noona was subtly moving closer to me.
“If it smells this strong, the taste must have been very rich. How was it?”
“It was full of chestnut flavor~. It melted in my mouth, yeah.”
“Really? You like strong flavors, Geum-bi, so it must have been perfect for you. You put a ton of ketchup on your omurice this morning too, didn’t you?”
“Th-That’s right. Maybe that’s why Ji-gu only gave it to me? Haha.”
“…There wasn’t any sauce or anything on the chestnut jelly, right?”
“Gasp?! O-Of course not. What kind of chestnut jelly has sauce on it? Hee hee…”
The longer the questioning went on, the more Geum-bi noona glanced towards the door.
I could sense her strong desire to escape this situation, and I, too, feeling the pressure, spoke to Su-jeong noona.
“B-But noona. Why were you looking for me?”
“Ah~ I was wondering when you were going to fix the changing room door on the first floor.”
“Ah! Sorry, I was going to fix it while cleaning last weekend… but I forgot.”
“Why? You said you’d clean on Saturday and fix it on Sunday, didn’t you?”
“Yeah, I did. But on Sunday… I just forgot.”
“Hmm~?”
I remembered.
Last Sunday, I was called to Geum-bi noona’s room, interrogated, given a handjob, and made a strange promise, so I had no time to think about anything else.
I didn’t think she was asking knowing that… but Su-jeong noona, just like she did with Geum-bi noona earlier, looked at my expression with narrowed eyes.
“Um, noona? Anyway, I’ll fix it soon during the week.”
“Please do. Hwa-yeon’s been complaining to me, saying she’s afraid you’ll make another mistake.”
“What?! No, what does that…!”
“Hee hee, you know I’m just kidding, right? But it’s important to finish what you need to do, so I came to tell you.”
“Yeah, right. I’ll keep that in mind, noona.”
When I nodded, Su-jeong noona twirled a strand of her hair around her finger and smiled happily.
It was quite different from Geum-bi noona, whose gaze remained unchanged no matter how long I answered, but I was relieved that Su-jeong noona’s mood had improved.
“Are you two going to talk more here?”
“Uh, yeah. We still have things to talk about.”
“Okay, I’ll go down first. Take your time.”
The eye of the storm had passed, and Su-jeong noona strode towards the doorway.
But before she completely left, she subtly gestured towards me with her hand.
“Huh? Wh-Why?”
“Give me the trash. The chestnut jelly wrapper, so I can throw it away on my way down.”
“Huh…? No, it’s okay, noona. We’ll throw away our own trash.”
“It’s fine. Hwa-yeon’s in charge of taking out the trash, right? I was going to give it to her and tell her off for not doing her job properly.”
“No, it’s really okay…”
“Why are you making such a fuss over some trash? Like you’re hiding something?”
“Ugh?!”
I didn’t know anymore.
Whether Su-jeong noona knew everything and was teasing me, or if she was still suspicious and testing me.
The only thing I had to give her was the tissue in my back pocket… but I absolutely couldn’t take it out.
‘What do I do? What do I do, Geum-bi noona…!’
I looked at her with pleading eyes, and after hesitating, Geum-bi noona suddenly rushed to Su-jeong noona and linked arms with her.
“More importantly, unnie! I’m about to take a shower, want to join me? It’s been a while.”
“A bath…? Geum-bi, you always freaked out when I asked you to shower together.”
“Wh-When did I~. And even if I was surprised, I always went in with you anyway.”
“That’s true… but you said you had more to talk about with Ji-gu?”
“It was nothing! We can talk later, hehe.”
“Hmm~ Okay. Then I’ll leave the rest to you, Ji-gu-ya?”
“Uh, uh! See you later, noonas… Phew.”
After confirming that the noonas had disappeared down the stairs, I finally let out a sigh of relief.
It was an unexpected attack, but I patted myself on the shoulder, thinking I had managed to defend myself well.
‘The doorknob… I really need to fix it tomorrow.’
Come to think of it, that was the root cause of this whole mess.
So I wouldn’t forget, I made a note of it in my phone’s memo pad.
‘But, couldn’t she have told me this before I went to bed? Why did she come all the way to Geum-bi noona’s room?’
As I typed, I felt a little puzzled.
But airing out the room and disposing of the tissue were more urgent, so I put my thoughts aside and started moving.
…Looking back, I should have been at least half as suspicious of Su-jeong noona as I was of what had just happened.
It was common sense that the smell of chestnut jelly wouldn’t spread that much.
That night, I was dragged to the changing room by Su-jeong noona and once again found myself trapped.
* * *
“Um, noona? What’s going on at this hour…?”
“Ji-gu, what were you doing in the room with Geum-bi?”
“Huh?!”
Between one and two in the morning.
After confirming that Geum-bi noona was completely asleep, Su-jeong noona woke me up and dragged me outside.
The atmosphere as we headed to the changing room was heavy, and I tried to make casual conversation… but as soon as the door closed, Su-jeong noona got straight to the point.
“Do you really think I’m an idiot?”
“W-What are you talking about…?”
“There’s no way the smell of snacks would spread that much throughout the room.”
“Ugh…”
“And it’s the same smell as the one you left on my pants the other day.”
“Gasp…!”
Noona had cornered me in one fell swoop.
Logically, my escape route was blocked, and physically, Su-jeong noona’s presence pressured me.
Step by step, stride by stride.
Backed against the bathroom door, I gulped, and Su-jeong noona reached out towards my face, but…
“Whoa?! N-Noona?”
“It was definitely this smell that came from here.”
She lowered her hand midway and pointed to my groin, below my navel.
Her fingers didn’t even touch my pants, but I felt a stronger pressure than when Geum-bi noona had held me.
“Anything to say for yourself, Yang Ji-gu?”
“…No.”
When she got angry like this, I could see why Su-jeong noona and Geum-bi noona were sisters.
Because Su-jeong noona usually had a gentle expression, her current glare felt even sharper.
“I told you so many times… but in the end, you and Geum-bi…”
“I-It’s a misunderstanding! Just like I told you before, I didn’t lay a finger on Geum-bi noona.”
“You two were alone in Geum-bi’s room, and you did something that would spread that kind of smell?”
“Th-That’s… but really, I never touched Geum-bi noona’s body.”
I felt guilty about revealing the whole truth, but I could confidently say this much.
At least I had never touched Geum-bi noona’s breasts, buttocks, or any other sensitive areas.
‘At most, I stroked her hair and held her hand. Everything else was Geum-bi noona touching me.’
If I said this, Geum-bi noona might be interrogated instead, so I kept my mouth shut.
Su-jeong noona, watching me walk the tightrope between explanation and loyalty, narrowed her eyes into crescents.
“You don’t… look like you’re lying.”
“B-Because it’s the truth.”
“But the evidence doesn’t lie. The circumstances are too clear.”
“…You never know what might happen. There could be other possibilities.”
“Like what?”
“…Like me secretly masturbating in Geum-bi noona’s room and getting caught and scolded by her? Ouch!”
Su-jeong noona’s hand, which had been brushing against my waist, pinched my side hard.
As her fingers squeezed and twisted, I bit my lip hard to suppress a scream.
“Are you serious right now? I let it slide with Hwa-yeon because it was an accident, but this is different.”
“You asked for an example… I was just saying it could have happened, ugh.”
“Was I talking about someone else from a different family? I’m asking about you and Geum-bi, so what do you think I’d assume if you said that?”
“…Of course, you’d think it’s the truth, ow!”
“And you’re still saying that? Honestly…!”
It was indeed a crazy thing to say.
Masturbating in Geum-bi noona’s room, not even my own, and getting caught by her.
And even leaving enough of a mess to fill the room with the smell.
‘Su-jeong noona is only pinching me. Geum-bi noona would have tripped me, and Hwa-yeon would have slapped me.’
Should I consider this a blessing in disguise?
Or should I beg Su-jeong noona, whose grip was unexpectedly strong, for mercy?
As I pondered in pain, tears welled up in my eyes, and Su-jeong noona, frowning, stopped pinching me.
“Why are you doing this? I told you not to.”
“No, it’s just, I misspoke. That was a misunderstanding… huh?”
“Not Geum-bi. And not the others either. If you need to… I’ll do it for you.”
“Huh? Noona? Su-jeong noona?!”
I thought that since the violence had stopped, the next step would be a verbal battle.
But Su-jeong noona’s actions were completely unexpected.
“Is this… not enough for you?”
Su-jeong noona, right in front of me, took off her top.
It was nighttime, but the changing room light was on, and she wasn’t wearing a bra underneath.
Su-jeong noona’s bare breasts were completely exposed before me, without a single barrier.
Since I had turned away last time and couldn’t see, this was the first time I saw noona’s breasts from the front.
“D-Don’t stare too much. I’m not doing this for your pleasure…”
“Ah, y-yeah, sorry……”
As I stared, speechless, Su-jeong noona, embarrassed, covered her breasts with her arms.
But her ample figure couldn’t be completely hidden, and her shrinking back only emphasized her cleavage.
“Anyway… only with me. Don’t do anything weird with the others.”
“N-Noona. It really wasn’t like that earlier… huh?!”
“If you need to, you can hug me like last time.”
As she said that, Su-jeong noona took another step closer to me.
We were already close enough to touch, and her body naturally pressed against mine.
Looking down from above, her cleavage was even more prominent.
Su-jeong noona slowly lowered the arms that were covering her breasts, wrapped them around my waist, and squeezed her eyes shut.
“Not just today… whenever you want, Ji-gu, I’ll do this for you.”
“Ugh…!”
I felt it again.
Our noonas were so alike, they must be real sisters.
A suggestion similar to what I had heard before echoed in the changing room.
I raised my hands as if surrendering, trying my best not to touch her.
One wrong step, just one more slip-up, and my self-control would completely shatter.
