EP.1 Daily Life
At 20 years old, I decided not to go to university and instead planned to study and get a job as a civil servant. Even though my stepmother raised me for ten years, she is, in reality, not related to me by blood, so I thought it would be wrong to ask her for entrance or tuition fees for college. That's why I made this decision.
When I told my mother I didn't plan on going to college, she understood and had no problem with it, but she was against me becoming a civil servant.
"How much do civil servants even get paid! My company needs workers, so come work here!"
Faced with my mother's firm words, I couldn't say a word and just accepted her offer.
It's a fairly large women's underwear company, almost at the level of a major corporation, so even if the work is menial, it obviously pays more and has a better environment than being a civil servant. It was a very good offer, but I hesitated, thinking I was relying too much on my mother. Still, since my mother is the type of person who always follows through on decisions, I simply accepted.
"Well, working from home is better than being a civil servant anyway..."
So, as an adult, I ended up spending most of my time at home, but my mother seemed satisfied and would just send me tasks by email without saying much.
"I feel like I'm relying too much on my mother... but this much should be fine, since I'm not just playing around and getting an allowance."
Thus, working at my mother's company and working from home became my daily routine, and after two years, at 22 years old, I was completely used to this lifestyle.
Even though I stayed home, my mother thought it was important to have a regular routine, so I would wake up in time for my younger siblings to go to school, and the four of us would eat together as part of our daily schedule.
"Did you sleep well?"
"Yeah."
When I woke up in the morning and stepped outside my room, I made eye contact with Dohee, the eldest daughter of this house and one of my younger sisters. She just answered absentmindedly and headed to the dining table.
She's an athlete who once placed second in a national track and field competition, so she's been in the newspaper several times and even occasionally appears in news articles. She's also quite famous, and her looks draw people's attention.
With her tall height of 170 cm and a well-toned, tanned body from sports, she radiates health at a glance. Thanks to the excellent genes inherited from our mother, she has a large G-cup chest and a firm, shapely butt, making her objectively a beautiful woman.
She cut her hair short because it got in the way of running, but thanks to her looks, she comes off as having a boyish charm rather than looking strange, to the point that even though she goes to an all-girls' school, she's received confessions from other girls several times.
"Oppa... good morning..."
"!! G-good morning! I told you not to sneak up on me like that."
"Oppa... your reaction... is funny..."
"Yeah, haha... let's go eat."
As I was about to head to the table, I felt a soft sensation on my back and turned around, surprised. It was my second sister, Seohee, having fun startling me.
Her expression hardly ever changes, so it's hard to tell if she's really enjoying it, but since she always sneaks up behind me and presses her chest against my back when I let my guard down, I can tell she really does find it fun.
Dohee, the eldest, is a bit of a celebrity, so she's sometimes compared to Seohee, but Seohee's looks and figure don't really fall short. Unlike Dohee, she's only 155 cm tall, but with her neat bobbed hair and a large F-cup chest that doesn't match her height, she's quite attractive. Once, a girl who approached Seohee to confess to Dohee ended up falling for Seohee and confessed to her instead.
She's always expressionless, but unlike the blunt Dohee, she acts cute (though I can't always tell if it's genuine) and approaches me affectionately, making her a lovable little sister.
"Hurry up, you two!"
"Y-yes!"
"Okay..."
As I was wasting time with Seohee's prank, our mother called us from the kitchen, and we hurried to the table and sat down.
"I told you we have to hurry in the morning because everyone's busy!"
"Sorry."
While I was being scolded, Seohee just looked at the side dishes as if it wasn't her business, and I had to listen to all of our mother's nagging.
"Sigh, fine, let's just eat first."
She was about to give us a lecture, but since time was running out, our mother sat down and told us to eat first.
As the head of the household, Jihee, who is 41 this year and the biological mother of Dohee and Seohee, has a figure and looks that make it hard to believe her age.
With long wavy hair down to her shoulders, a decent height of 165 cm, and a well-maintained, firm body, she's always taken good care of herself. She passed on her good looks and chest to her children, and with her H-cup chest, any man passing by would find his gaze drawn to her without realizing it. When we go out together, people sometimes mistake us for a couple, and when she stands with her daughters, people could believe they're sisters.
"There's nothing special to do today, so just clean the house."
"Yes, understood, Mother... Mom."
She glared at me when I called her "Mother," but looked away when I switched to "Mom." When I was younger, I naturally called her "Mom," but after entering high school, I started to feel a distance from her and my sisters, so my way of addressing her changed. Still, whenever I call her "Mother," she always says, "You don't need to call me that, we're family!"
'Even if we are family... still...'
As I ate, I glanced at my mother, Dohee, and Seohee in turn. No matter who I looked at, their appearances stirred up my desires as a man, and I sighed inwardly.
The reason I started to keep my distance from them was none other than myself. When I was little, it didn't matter, but after entering high school, my interest in the opposite sex increased rapidly, and even though we're family, seeing them as women naturally made me feel desire.
If I had been completely young and innocent, it might have been different, but since I started living with them at age 10, when I was already somewhat aware, I couldn't think of them as a normal family and started to distance myself emotionally.
"Leave my room alone."
"No! You can't even clean up properly by yourself."
"I've been doing better lately..."
"No."
"Ugh, then just don't touch anything."
Dohee, being at a sensitive age, refused to let me clean her room, but she immediately gave in to a word from our mother.
Seohee didn't seem to care and just said, "Please take care of it," without any particular reaction.
"Take care."
"Okay, make sure you clean up properly."
"Have a good day."
"Yeah... oppa..."
"Yeah."
After seeing them off, I felt a bit pathetic. If I were going to school, it'd be different, but even though I work at my mother's company, when there's no work, I end up cleaning the house, which makes me feel like an unemployed loafer. Still, if I don't clean properly, I'll get scolded in the evening, so I picked up the vacuum cleaner.
"Sigh~ I'm done with everything except the rooms."
After about an hour, I finished cleaning everything except each person's room and took a break in the living room.
"Wow~ it's already been 12 years..."
Twelve years ago, my parents died in a car accident, and with no relatives, I was about to be sent to an orphanage when the woman who is now my mother, our neighbor, helped me. She didn't legally adopt me, but she took me in and raised me until now.
"Why does she keep getting prettier as time goes by?"
My mother is both my benefactor and the source of my current inner turmoil. With looks and a body that could rival a celebrity, she's extremely stimulating to a man with no resistance to women. She was even my first love when I was a child, so it's a situation that troubles me deeply.
"Sigh~ Even if I wanted to move out, I don't have any money yet, so what can I do?"
I actually considered saving up money from a part-time job to move out, but knowing my mother's personality, she'd never allow it, so I never even brought it up. I get paid by my mother, but she manages most of my money, so if I spent a large amount, she'd immediately find out and wouldn't let me leave.
"Anyway, let's finish cleaning."
Since each person's room still needed to be cleaned, I started with my own and then headed to Dohee's room.
"Geez~ She's never been good at cleaning, but this is just too much."
When I entered Dohee's room, it smelled like air freshener, but clothes were just thrown on the bed and floor, making it a mess. I put all the clothes in the laundry basket, but I was faced with a dilemma.
"What should I do about this..."
The reason for my dilemma was Dohee's underwear. No matter how much we're family, an older brother washing his younger sister's underwear could make her uncomfortable, and since I feel sexual desire toward Dohee, my eyes naturally went to it and I got a little aroused.
"Most of these are sports bras, I guess."
There were some regular bras, but most were sports bras for exercising. Since she's an athlete with a bigger chest than most, it's only natural that she'd have fewer regular bras, but even just that is quite stimulating for a guy my age.
With no other choice, I decided to gather up the underwear and wash it, quickly collecting it and leaving Dohee's room to head to Seohee's.
