“What do you mean by ‘brother-in-law’? Stop talking nonsense and go outside to buy some slippers!”

The man scratched his head and smiled at me.

“Brother-in-law, I’m sorry, but I need to wear brother-in-law’s shoes. Is that okay?”

“Yes, yes… go ahead.”

As the man went outside, I immediately went into the room and confronted my sister.

“This is a mess, five minutes before my tutoring session. I might have to quit.”

“Nonsense! You’re just making excuses!”

“How can I study in this environment? Isn’t this going too far?”

“The problem is your attitude towards studying, not the environment. I knew you had tutoring today, but I didn’t expect to be this hungover.”

I sighed at her words.

“Damn… don’t drink here the night before my tutoring. I’m a third-year high school student. Isn’t this too much?”

“I’ll leave as soon as the senior comes back with the slippers. Okay?”

“Who is this senior? Are you living together?”

“He just stopped by for a drink. Don’t imagine things. Since it’s like this, clean up a bit before you leave. Wash the shoes too. I’ll give you a good allowance.”

“Are you crazy…? Do you think I came here to clean? Besides, I get a good allowance at home!”

“Please, just this once. This won’t happen again. It’s a secret from Dad and that woman.”

Just then, the man my sister called ‘senior’ and whom she called my ‘brother-in-law’ came back with slippers, and my sister hurriedly left with him. I had no choice but to start cleaning vigorously for the 30 minutes before my tutoring session began.

I finished cleaning the bathroom and scrubbed the shoes that were covered in vomit, then put them on the drying rack.

“Damn it!”

As I finished cleaning, curses slipped out of my mouth. But there was a woman standing at the front door, which I had left open for ventilation, staring at me…!

It was just past 2 PM. Damn… did she hear me cursing?

“Are you Jeong Min-woo?”

The moment the college student called out my name, I almost screamed, thinking I was seeing a celebrity.

“Haha… Yes, I’m Jeong Min-woo!”

I answered with a trembling voice. At that moment, I felt grateful to my sister for the first time in my life. The sister who was so unpredictable, the one I fought with so much when I was young, the one I never fully acknowledged as my sister, was now so appreciated.

“Are you cleaning now? Can I come in?”

“Ah, yes, please come in. I just finished cleaning. My sister is messy, so I come over to clean occasionally.”

I lied to her, even though it wasn’t true.

“Hehe, if you’re cleaning, why were you cursing so much?”

Oh no! She heard all my curses…! Damn…!

Just like anyone visiting a house for the first time, she looked around the room.

“So this is where Min-ha senior lives?”

Thinking I should offer her something, I opened the refrigerator but had to close it immediately. Inside were only soju, beer, and a half-finished bottle of unknown liquor.

“Damn… I should have something to drink, but there’s nothing in the fridge.”

“It’s okay. Sit down first.”

She was wearing a blue skirt and a blue jacket. As soon as she sat down, she took off her jacket.

Under the jacket, she was wearing only a white T-shirt. Even though it was a bit oversized, her chest was clearly visible, and my heart started racing from that moment. She sat demurely, exuding a pure and refreshing aura. Just looking at her made me feel good….

“Why don’t we start with a brief introduction? I’ll go first. I’m Jang Mi-kyung, a junior in Min-ha senior’s club. Let’s do our best together.”

She was actually my age, but I didn’t tell her because I thought it might make her uncomfortable.

“I’m Jeong Min-woo, now a third-year high school student. I’m Min-ha’s younger brother, and I was around 30th in my class in second year.”

She smiled strangely when I finished speaking.

“If you’re good at studying, why do you need tutoring?”

“My goal is Seoul National University.”

“Oh, really?”

“My father has already told me which department I should go to. My goal is the Department of Mathematics Education at Seoul National University.”

“What? Haha!”

I looked at her with a puzzled expression. What’s wrong? Is my goal too high?

When I met her gaze with a blank look, she seemed to realize something and quickly started speaking.

“Sorry… I was curious why you laughed. I laughed because I’m also in the Department of Mathematics Education.”

“Really? I feel so relieved. My father insists on Seoul National University, so I want to get in next year.”

I told her about my earnest desire, and she seemed to feel a sense of responsibility as she looked at my expression. I wanted to continue tutoring with her until December, and I wanted to get into Seoul National University, as my father had decided. To achieve this, I needed to create an atmosphere where she would take responsibility for me.

My determined words seemed to resonate with her, and she also spoke with a serious face.

“Trust me. Just follow what I do, and you’ll definitely get into the university you want. Seoul National University? It’s not a joke… I was a four-year scholarship student and was always first in my class in high school. I’ll make sure you get there.”

“Wow, sister! That’s amazing!”

I naturally started calling her ‘sister,’ which allowed me to get closer to her. Calling her a tutor would create a distance, but I boldly called her ‘sister.’ She seemed to like being called ‘sister’ and smiled broadly, agreeing with me. It was probably best not to mention that we were the same age for now.

“Let’s be comfortable and call each other sister and brother. I’m an only child, so I’ve always been lonely. I’ll think of you as my younger brother, and you can think of me as your older sister. Min-ha is the older sister, and I’m the younger sister….”

Her words made me feel good.

I looked forward to seeing her every weekend, and I finished the homework she gave me before my school assignments. To impress her, I found the hardest math problems from school and worked on them together, and those happy days unfolded.

In the hellish third year of high school, the tutoring sessions with her were sweet like a drop of rain in a drought.

But human desire knows no bounds….

At first, just seeing her was enough, but now I wanted to touch her.

I wanted to hold her hand and touch her large chest.

Every night after tutoring with Mi-kyung on weekends, I would think of her face and masturbate.

On weekends when my busy father and older brother were not around, my stepmother would always come into my room and stimulate me. But I felt guilty because, despite her putting my penis in her mouth and sucking, I thought of Mi-kyung and got excited, climaxing.

Mom, no, stepmom… I’m sorry….

A few weeks passed.

Seok-hoon had only a week left to charm Ji-suk. The three of us always met after our night study sessions on Tuesdays and Fridays when Seok-hoon didn’t have tutoring. On a Friday in the second week of April, when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, we met again.

“What a nice day, and we’re stuck in school….”

“The cherry blossoms are killing me….”

“I’m a third-year, and I just want to go somewhere.”

Seok-hoon’s words were echoed by Geun-cheol and me.

Seok-hoon and Geun-cheol, who had been rivals over a girl, gradually opened up to each other, and they started sharing information about Ji-suk.

“Ji-suk is weak in math. She seems to be under a lot of stress because of it.”

“Hmm… she might like studying math together.”

“She has a lot of pride, so even if you offer help, she says she can do it on her own.”

“Hmm, if you fail, Seok-hoon, you shouldn’t do anything to hurt her pride.”

Geun-cheol looked at Seok-hoon and said,

“Meeting you is already a blow to her pride, so I don’t think you need to worry about that.”

“Are you done talking?”

I had to stop Geun-cheol from arguing with Seok-hoon, who was laughing. They would argue and then quickly become friends again.

When Seok-hoon failed to charm Ji-suk within a month, Geun-cheol re-enrolled in the academy where she was. And… I also registered for the weekday classes, as if possessed.

Of course, it was after discussing with Mi-kyung, and I decided to focus on English and Korean, following her advice.

A month later, when I saw Ji-suk at the academy, she had a delicate face that could charm any man. She wasn’t very tall, but her slender figure made her look good in proportion from a distance. Most importantly, she looked great with a short haircut.

Perhaps because of the information I heard from Seok-hoon and Geun-cheol, I became unusually interested in Ji-suk. But I couldn’t easily approach her, remembering how she looked at Geun-cheol, who was grabbed by Seok-hoon a month ago, as if he were a bug.
