"Do you really know how worried I was?"
"I'm sorry. But I tried hard to find a partner so I wouldn't be a bother to my older sister."
I sobbed in Yeonjun's arms as he hugged me, who had calmed down somewhat. "Partner? Stop talking about that damn partner, it's just annoying me more." Yeonjun smiled faintly, as if he was enjoying something, and nuzzled his cheek against my shoulder.
"Don't work hard, you son of a bitch, you were so vicious to the people that they all ran away, you son of a bitch."
"..I didn't do that"
"Damn it... That kid has a habit of not letting go once he bites, so he'll go all the way with the partner he chooses."
Haha. Is that me? Whatever it was, it wasn't Yeonjun, I guess. He was lost in thought, watching me closely, and I saw his lips twitch as he muttered something to Beomgyu. It sounded like a curse word.
I tried to calm Yeonjun down, afraid they'd start another fight, and gave Beomgyu an awkward smile. Sniff, now that I think about it, what was Beomgyu thinking, a grown man crying in front of those kids?
"Sister, are you okay now? Do you want some water? Should we go home?"
"..Okay, let's go home"
"Okay, it's raining outside, so bundle up."
"Sniff,"
It was when Yeonjun was putting on his outerwear as he had said.
"Clang-!" I saw Yeonjun fall to the floor with a loud noise. "Yeonjun!" I grabbed his limp body, as if he'd lost consciousness. His body temperature was unusually hot.
"..Sister, go home first."
"Huh? What are you talking about when he's lying down like this!!"
"This time, listen to me. Just go home and don't worry."
"How could you do that!! Yeonjun, come to your senses-"
As I grabbed Yeonjun and shook him, I heard him groan. His fever was high... Why had he suddenly collapsed? Trying to find a solution, I took off Yeonjun's outerwear and placed my hand on his forehead to check his temperature again.
"Haa-.. haa.."
It was only a moment before Yeonjun, his eyes wide open, was on top of me with a face filled with excitement. Yeonjun, breathing heavily and grabbing my shoulder, was terrifying. What, what are you doing? What the hell am I doing?
"Hey- Choi Yeonjun! Wake up, you idiot!"
Sister, go quickly before it gets worse.
I nodded absentmindedly. Beomgyu grabbed Yeonjun and dragged him away with force. Even though he was in human form, Yeonjun was growling, and anyone could tell he wasn't in his right mind.
***
I opened my eyes. I must have slept for hours. I wanted to turn around and check my phone, but I couldn't. Why did my body feel so heavy?
"Ugh-..."
"..."
Yeonjun was sleeping, hugging my waist tightly. When did he get home? I'm secretly a light sleeper, but that wasn't the point. When I placed my hand on Yeonjun's forehead, the fever seemed to subside.
As I stared at that face, I felt strange.
Why are you so handsome?
As I stroked Yeonjun's head as if possessed, I felt the hand holding my waist tighten. What was that?
"Choi Yeonjun, are you awake?"
"Sister... do more, more"
"..what"
"Stroke me"
That's not hard. As I continued to stroke him, Yeonjun began to squirm in my arms. He'd been worrying me since yesterday, but thankfully, he's quiet today.
"Now get up and eat."
"Sister.."
"huh?"
"Yesterday... I was surprised. I'm sorry."
If it were yesterday, would you be talking about the sudden collapse? Honestly, I was surprised, but I reassured him that it was okay. Then, Yeonjun, who was squirming in my arms, seemed a little relieved and spoke.
"It's been a while since I've been this horny... I guess I need to find a partner soon."
"..."
what?
