My Feisty Sisters Are Coming After Me

Chapter 43

—–CROW—– 

At one end of the living room sofa, Su-jeong noona gathered her knees neatly and fidgeted with her fingers.

At the opposite end of the sofa, Geum-bi noona frowned and pressed her temples.

I, sitting right in the middle, looked at our reflections in the black TV screen and organized this complicated situation.

“Anyway, do you both understand now? That I really… didn’t cross any lines like that with the noonas.”

“Yeah, I roughly understand, Ji-gu.”

“I don’t 100% believe it, but, hmph.”

I couldn’t do anything about the past events that had already been exposed and the suspicious gazes of the two noonas.

But at least, I convinced them that there was nothing between us that would break our family relationship.

Of course, neither of them looked satisfied with that.

Rather, it was because of that that the two noonas were even more worried about what to do in the future.

“So, what are you going to do now, Ji-gu?”

“What am I going to do? What do you mean?”

“Even if you didn’t go all the way, you went to a similar level. Are you still going to meet with unnie like this?”

It was Geum-bi noona who took the lead in the conversation.

Geum-bi noona’s position was still unchanged, and I scratched my cheek and looked at Su-jeong noona.

“If you’re that worried, I don’t think we need to keep meeting secretly.”

“Ugh?! J-Ji-gu…”

“Of course, that goes for Geum-bi noona as well.”

“Heeup?! No, well, of course… Tsk.”

I looked at Su-jeong noona once, and then at Geum-bi noona on the opposite side.

The easiest way to solve a problem was to eliminate the environment where the problem could occur, so my opinion was extremely reasonable.

In other words, ending it cleanly like this would also be a good ending, but-.

“However, if we’re going to do that, I think we need to address a few things clearly.”

“Address? What do you mean, Ji-gu?”

“We’ve already told you everything, do you still have something to confirm?”

“The most fundamental thing is left. We need to hear what each of you wants to do about our current situation and future relationship.”

“”Ugh……!””

I leaned back calmly against the sofa.

I gathered my hands neatly in front of my belly button and looked at the faces of the two of them in the TV, who were flustered.

Su-jeong noona, who was blushing and twisting her side hair.

And Geum-bi noona, who was turning her head and biting her lip.

They looked the most honest they had been all night, so there was no better time than now.

“First of all, do you two… want to keep sleeping in my room, even if you don’t meet me separately?”

“Yeah, at least until mom comes back.”

“I don’t mind stopping right away. If you just contact mom and urge her to return.”

“Geum-bi, we decided to wait on that problem first, right?”

“So, I’m staying still for now, right? Who said to contact her right now?”

“Okay, okay, calm down, don’t fight again. That part isn’t important right now, is it?”

“…Haa, really.”

“…Tsk, frustrating.”

The conversation went off track in the middle, but the two noonas’ claims were different but the same.

In the end, it meant that they would sleep together until mom came back. Since the start of this whole thing was from mom’s words, it was natural that they didn’t want to change it until she resolved it.

“I understand your feelings. If you separate when nothing has changed, you’ll be anxious again, and we’ve actually fought several times because of that.”

“Most of the time, it was because of Geum-bi’s stubbornness.”

“Unnie, what are you talking about? Your attitude was suspicious, that’s why I did it.”

“What was suspicious? I was being considerate of you, Geum-bi, but you misunderstood everything on your own?”

“Why would you be considerate like that? Why don’t you just say you were discriminating against me directly?”

“Are you talking back to your unnie now?”

“I haven’t finished. Should we take this opportunity to get rid of all the things I’ve been holding back?”

Just for a moment, I had only consulted about what it would be like to sleep separately again.

The two noonas glared at each other as if they were about to fight again.

‘Even Su-jeong noona, who wasn’t like that, is full of anger. Is it because of the remaining embers from earlier?’

It had only been ten minutes since they were growling at each other with me in between, so it was understandable.

But at this rate, the conversation wouldn’t progress, so I clapped my hands together and persuaded the two of them.

“Stop! I told you both to calm down, right? That’s why I said we should address things properly.”

“Tsk, but it’s because Geum-bi keeps acting without manners.”

“Hmph, you were the one who started talking in a provoking tone.”

“Haa, neither of you did anything well, okay? You both took turns being rude, and if we start arguing, there’s no end to it, are we really going to stay up all night? Do you want to skip work tomorrow?”

“……Tsk.”

“……Hmph.”

As a younger brother, I sighed and listed the facts in a calm tone.

The clock pointed to between 2 and 3 am, and the sound of crickets faintly coming from outside made the noonas shut their mouths with sulky expressions.

“Then, let’s agree that we’ll sleep like this until mom comes back. You don’t have any complaints up to this point, right?”

“…I was in favor of it from the beginning.”

“…It’s not like we can leave only Su-jeong unnie and you in one room. I have no choice but to tag along.”

“Okay, that’s settled. The next thing is about our relationship… Umm, just a minute. I’ll go get a glass of water.”

Honestly, the most tense part was from now on.

After drinking a cup of water in the kitchen, I saw our pretty noonas glaring at each other in opposite directions.

‘It’s childish for grown adults. …I wish they would just keep looking somewhere else like this.’

I knew that wouldn’t happen, so I sat down, and.

As expected, at the words that followed, the two noonas quickly turned to me and blinked.

“I don’t think I can stay in the same relationship with you two as we are now.”

“Huh? J-Ji-gu…?”

“Heeh? What? Ji-gu, what on earth are you saying…”

“Let me ask you the other way around. Can you noonas look at my face normally like before? Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, in the same way?”

It was a story that I had hesitated and hesitated to bring up, but as soon as I said it, I covered my face.

So, I didn’t know what the noonas’ eyes looked like, but judging by the lack of response to my question, I had a rough idea.

“I can’t, I’m not confident that I can just act nonchalantly. Am I the only one who’s weird? Don’t you noonas feel that way?”

“”…….””

“In the first place, if you can be normal after going through something like that, isn’t that more abnormal?”

“”…….””

Since there was no response even to my following confession.

I slowly removed my hands from my eyes and mentioned the topic that we had been avoiding.

“If one of us isn’t a biological sibling, then we could have a different relationship than now, right?”

“”Ugh……!””

The reason why the noonas were particularly wary and suspicious of me, a man.

The reason why the noonas were constantly arguing with me as the center.

Everything was because of a single possibility.

“What do you two think about this problem?”

I organized the content clearly so that they couldn’t avoid it by mumbling.

Since we were together as three people, not just two, I couldn’t run away alone with another excuse.

I waited for an answer with my head down as if I had finished speaking.

After spending an even longer time than before, and as the clock passed 3 am, one of them stammered out a voice.

“We will… continue to be family, no matter what happens.”

“……Su-jeong noona.”

“It’s been like that since way back, and it won’t change in the future. Isn’t this the most obvious thing, right?”

Su-jeong noona, as the eldest, gave a principled opinion.

The noona’s words that it wasn’t a concern sounded reasonable at first glance, but that was only in normal cases.

What I was asking about wasn’t about ‘someone living in an unknown place’.

It was about the problem of the three of us in front of me right now.

“I think differently.”

“Geum-bi noona?”

“If unnie is right, then why are we even worried about this? What was the reason for all the things that happened while being involved with Ji-gu so far?”

Geum-bi noona crossed her legs and glared.

The end of that gaze no longer looked at the empty air, but clearly towards Su-jeong noona sitting at the end of the sofa.

“If the conditions change, the relationship can also change. Just because we were family before doesn’t guarantee that we’ll be the same in the future.”

“…Geum-bi. Do you know what you’re saying right now?”

“How can I speak if I don’t know? And you were also worried about that, so you called Ji-gu out every night. Are you going to pretend that’s not the case now?”

“I called him as a precaution so that such a misfortune wouldn’t happen, not like you. It’s different from you, Geum-bi.”

“Ha, do you think I have some other intention? I called him because I was worried that Ji-gu would have a strange relationship with unnie?”

“Then, in the end, you’re saying the same thing as me, right?”

“No. I was worried about that happening between biological siblings. If we’re not related by blood… frankly speaking, anything could happen.”

“Hey, Geum-bi!”

“Why. No, why are you making a fuss over this all of a sudden…”

“Stop, stop, you both stop. How many times have I said not to do this, haa.”

Perhaps because of the topic, I waved my hands, looking at the noonas who were fighting particularly today.

Anyway, I had heard the noonas’ thoughts, and I had clearly grasped the difference in their views.

‘So that was it. That’s why their actions were different when I met them.’

Su-jeong noona’s actions were to maintain the framework of being family, so she didn’t allow direct touches to her body.

On the other hand, Geum-bi noona didn’t know which one was adopted, so she took the lead and waved her hand so that she could cut off the relationship if necessary.

‘Ummm, both of them are difficult to deal with, but.’

While listening, a slightly bigger question arose on one side.

We had come a long way, so I turned my head in order to dig into the matter until the end.

“Okay, I understand what Su-jeong noona is saying. I fully understand your feelings.”

“Thank you… I knew you would understand, Ji-gu.”

“And Geum-bi noona… Can I ask you one more thing?”

“What is it? Why are you so strict with me?”

“It’s not that I’m discriminating against you. This is something I need to address.”

Geum-bi noona even folded her arms and took a defensive stance.

In addition, her eyes and expression were like that of a fierce tiger.

But at the question I casually threw, her face soon turned as red as a ripe tomato.

“After listening to what you said earlier, you said that our relationship could change, right?”

“Yeah, so?”

“Does that mean… Geum-bi noona, you like me romantically?”

“……Huh? No, what? Why is the conversation going that way… Ah?”

For the first few seconds, she was reacting with disbelief.

For the next few seconds, she had an expression as if she was figuring out why that conclusion came about.

And for the last few seconds, Geum-bi noona, who had just recalled what she had said, couldn’t close her gaping mouth.

“If that’s the case, it’s going to be difficult for me in many ways, ahem.”

“No, wait, I didn’t know it would be interpreted that way. It’s not that, what I mean is that it could possibly be like that…!”

“Wait a minute, you guys? So, all of this is because Geum-bi likes Ji-gu?”

“Eh? No, that’s not it?! Unnie, what are you saying?!”

It was after about 10 seconds that Geum-bi noona hurriedly shook her head and denied it.

But Su-jeong noona’s eyes were already close to contempt, slightly beyond shock.

I blushed like a girl who had received a confession, and turned my gaze away to ease the atmosphere a little, and said.

“You know, Geum-bi noona? You’re a very attractive beauty, but… my heart is…”

“Hey, hey, stop! Ji-gu, what are you trying to say? Don’t do it, whatever it is, don’t say it, you bastard!”

“Noona, it’s too late to deny it now. I wondered why you kept calling me to your room all that time… Pu-hak!”

“Geez, I told you to shut that mouth! Su-jeong unnie, no? I just said that it was possible, not that it was that way at all. Believe me, unnie…!”

Geum-bi noona threw a cushion that was lying around at my face and then got up and approached Su-jeong noona.

However, Su-jeong noona’s expression remained unchanged for a while, and on the contrary, Geum-bi noona’s face became increasingly tearful.

‘The first step to solving a problem is to identify the problem, but… it’s not easy. Where do I start with this?’

Since it was late, I thought about stopping here for today.

I dragged the clinging Geum-bi noona and the shuddering Su-jeong noona, and went into the room.

After that, there was another commotion in bed over the sleeping positions, but.

It wasn’t very important, so I’ll just skip over it.

“Wow, crazy, daebak…!”

The important thing was that someone hidden on the stairs had been eavesdropping on our conversation since sometime.

…And the more important thing was that the next day, Geum-bi noona bit my dick.

Physically speaking.
