“What’s this?”
When I returned home after working overtime, my girlfriends, who had already left work, were already home. I knew it was long past the time they usually left, so I had assumed they would be here. They had mentioned they would be working late too, so I thought they’d be late as well. I had expected to work for quite a while, but I ended up coming home earlier than anticipated. The first person I met upon returning was SuA, who sharply opened her eyes. Well, to be exact, it wasn’t exactly at me.
“What? Did I come somewhere I shouldn’t have?”
She was looking at Luche, who followed me into the house.
“If you were going to bring her, you should’ve said so beforehand.”
“If I had told you, you probably would’ve said no.”
“It’s even more infuriating that you knew that and still did it.”
When Luche and I shared a kiss in the main office and then pulled away, we both laughed without saying a word. There were so many reasons for the laughter that it was impossible to explain them all.
Then, we continued with the work we had postponed. Having Luche by my side actually sped up my work. Normally, even if Luche was beside me, I wouldn’t pay much attention and would work at a regular pace, but I hurried because I felt bad making her wait for so long because of me.
After finishing work and leaving the main office, Luche asked me, “Can I come hang out at your place today?”
If I lived alone, it wouldn’t be a big deal, but since I now lived with my girlfriends, I needed to ask for their opinions. The problem was, by the time I thought of that, I had already said it was fine.
“Yeah, sure. Let’s go.”
When we were planning the operation to attack the radio base, we all gathered at home and held meetings every day. So, I thought there wouldn’t be a problem with Luche coming over. While we were heading home together, the immediate confrontation had been called off, but the hostile relationship between us hadn’t changed. I wondered if I should have asked my girlfriends first.
No matter how I thought about it, they probably wouldn’t have allowed it. But I couldn’t bring myself to tell Luche, who was looking forward to coming over, “I think I should ask my girlfriends first.”
“Oh? Luche. Hi.”
“Hi.”
Yura, who coincidentally came out of the room, made eye contact with Luche and greeted her as if there was no hostility between them. Even though we had carried out operations together, there had been confrontations afterward, but there was no sense of hostility.
“Have you eaten?”
“No, not yet.”
Luche and I had only had coffee and snacks, so we hadn’t eaten. Yura nodded at my words and shouted toward the inner room.
“Blue! A is here!”
When she loudly announced that I had returned, Hayang immediately came out of the room.
“Honey’s here? Luche’s here too?”
“Just for a bit.”
“Come on in. I’m making dinner. Luche, do you want to eat too?”
“Yeah.”
Was it my misconception that my girlfriends held hostility towards Luche? Yura and Hayang didn’t seem to mind Luche at all. SuA, who reacted to Luche’s arrival, only took issue with the fact that I brought her without saying anything, but she didn’t show any particular reaction to Luche being there.
“I’ll be making dinner. Go wash up.”
“Okay.”
“I haven’t showered yet, so I’ll shower with Luche.”
I was startled by Yura’s words, and Luche, the person in question, was even more surprised.
“Why would I shower with you?!”
“What’s the big deal? We’ve been through a lot together.”
Seeing Luche’s reluctance, Yura simply smiled, took her hand, and headed to the bathroom.
I sort of understood why Yura hadn’t showered yet and was waiting. Even though it didn’t go according to her plan, with Luche here, she probably thought showering together wasn’t a bad idea.
“Where are Yubin and Milky Way?”
While staring blankly at Yura leading Luche to the bathroom, I asked Hayang, who was in the kitchen, about Yubin and Milky Way, who still hadn’t appeared.
“They’re probably still showering.”
“Did they just get here?”
I wondered if the girls hadn’t been home for long, but Hayang shook her head.
“No, they came in, ate right away, and are showering in order.”
It seemed that after Hayang and SuA showered, Yubin and Milky Way were showering. The house had two bathrooms, and since two people showered at a time, Yura hadn’t had her turn yet. In the meantime, I brought Luche, and Yura suddenly decided to shower with her.
“I’ll go shower first too. Take care of dinner.”
“Yeah, hurry up and shower.”
Hayang gave a refreshing smile and prepared dinner for me and Luche, while I headed to the other bathroom, not the one Yura and Luche were in.
On the way, I stopped by my room to grab a change of clothes. As I stood in front of the bathroom, I coincidentally ran into Milky Way, who had just finished showering.
“Brother, when did you get here?”
“Just now. Luche’s here too.”
“I see. Where is she?”
“Yura took her to shower together.”
“Pink? Why suddenly?”
“I don’t know. She just said that out of the blue and took Luche to the bathroom.”
Even Milky Way, who had just heard the explanation, tilted her head in confusion, unable to understand Yura’s behavior.
At some point, we ended up standing side by side in front of the bathroom, and Milky Way noticed we were just standing there and moved aside.
“Was I blocking you?”
“No, it’s fine. See you after you’re done.”
“Okay.”
Although she had used a hairdryer, Milky Way’s hair was still damp. She exuded the unique atmosphere of someone who had just finished showering. I smiled at her and headed into the bathroom.
As I tidied up the clothes I was wearing and was about to shower, I couldn’t help but worry if Yura was up to something strange with Luche.
“Hey! I said I’m not showering with you!”
Luche, who had been dragged to the bathroom by Pink, expressed her reluctance to shower together, but Pink didn’t even seem to hear her.
“Okay, okay.”
“You’re not listening at all!”
Red, who had been using the bathroom earlier, had already come out, so Luche and Red didn’t run into each other. Yellow in the living room and Blue in the kitchen would hear about it soon enough, but there was no immediate conflict.
Luche was also aware that she might run into Red, but Pink had suddenly dragged her to the bathroom, so she wasn’t thinking about Red at all.
“If you’re going to shower, take your clothes off.”
Pink completely ignored Luche’s words. Luche, realizing that even if she ran out in protest, Pink would just drag her back, decided to give up and accept the situation.
“I can undress myself, you know.”
Giving Pink a look for treating her like a child, Luche took off her clothes one by one and neatly folded them. Pink, who had been watching her undress, also began to take off her clothes to enter the bathroom.
“!”
Luche, who had undressed first, widened her eyes in shock when she saw Pink.
“What’s wrong?”
Pink, who had stopped undressing for a moment, tilted her head as she saw Luche staring at her, then realized her gaze was directed at her chest.
“Pretty big, huh?”
“…Is that for real?”
“Yeah. I thought it looked big even in a suit.”
“Seeing it in a suit and seeing it in person are completely different.”
“Oh?”
Luche was both shocked and amazed by Pink’s large chest. Luche had met many people with impressive physiques, but Pink was different from anyone she had met before.
“…Did you seduce our senior with that?”
“You could think that, I guess. Why? Do you think I seduced him with this?”
Luche couldn’t hide her frustration as she looked at Pink proudly flaunting her large chest. She had liked A for a long time and now knew that A liked her back, but she couldn’t help but think that Pink had gotten to date him first because of her chest. And it irked her that her own chest wasn’t as big as Pink’s.
“If you’re curious, you can touch it.”
“No, I won’t touch it!”
“Hahahaha!”
Pink immediately sensed the complex emotions Luche felt upon seeing her chest. Given her pride in her large chest, Luche’s jealousy was immensely satisfying and enjoyable to Pink.
Unable to hold back her laughter, Pink laughed heartily and entered the bathroom first.
After Pink entered the bathroom, Luche, now alone, looked at the laundry basket placed under the towel rack.
Pink’s large bra, which she had just taken off, was there. When the sound of running water came from inside the bathroom, Luche checked to make sure Pink wasn’t watching and picked up the bra from the laundry basket.
“How big is it?”
Her curiosity about the size of the bra worn by someone with such an overwhelmingly large chest was unbearable. Luche held Pink’s bra up to her own chest, and at that moment, she felt a gaze on her and turned her head.
Pink, who had entered the bathroom earlier, was watching Luche through the slightly open door, a smile plastered all over her face.
“What? Why?!”
Caught red-handed, Luche’s face turned bright red, and she yelled, but Pink just kept laughing without saying a word.
Throwing Pink’s bra back into the laundry basket, Luche avoided eye contact and entered the bathroom.
After showering and dressing, I waited in the living room for Luche and Yura to come out.
Yubin, who had already heard that Luche was here, was sitting next to me.
The first thing I heard when I ran into Yubin was, “Luche’s here, right?”
There was no particular emotion in her voice, and she didn’t seem to think Luche’s arrival was a big deal.
“Maybe I shouldn’t have brought her?”
Wondering if bringing Luche had made her uncomfortable but she was hiding it so I wouldn’t worry, I asked, and Yubin looked at me with wide eyes.
“No, I don’t really care.”
“Really?”
Was it truly my misconception that there was still hostility between them?
Just as I was about to ask if bringing over our rival made her uncomfortable.
“Ahhh!!”
A scream came from the inner bathroom, and Luche, in a bathrobe, ran out and threw herself into my arms.
“What’s wrong? What happened?”
Her ash-gray hair was still damp, not fully dried. When Luche looked up at me, she had a tearful expression.
“Pink! Pink!”
“What did Yura do?”
Did Yura really do something?
After Luche ran out, Yura, also in a bathrobe, came out and watched the scene.
“Hahahahaha!”
Yara, laughing uncontrollably, and Luche, clinging to me on the verge of tears, alternated in my view.
“What did you do?”
When I asked Yura, who continued to laugh, she wiped the tears from her eyes caused by her laughter and spoke, still with a smile.
“It’s nothing. I just touched her chest while drying her hair.”
Luche, who had been clinging to me on the verge of tears, jumped up and glared at Yura upon hearing this.
“Just touching? That’s not just touching! You groped me! Even our senior hasn’t touched me yet!”
“What? I took Luche’s first time?”
“Don’t say things that will make people misunderstand!”
“Hahahahaha!”
Watching Luche yell and Yura laugh hysterically, I wondered what on earth was going on.
One thing was clear: the only one who mistakenly thought there was hostility between them was me.
