The Pretty Girl Next to Me Asks Strange Questions Every Day

54 – Sleeping together… Will it work?

Everything is difficult at the beginning.

As the saying goes, well begun is half done. It is not that difficult to do again what you have experienced once.

The reason I brought Ina home was because she had already stayed at our house. Otherwise, I would not have made such an offer.

Therefore. So. Therefore…… Getting Ina to sleep in my room wasn’t difficult either.

After I answered that I knew, Ina went back to her sister’s room with the words “Whoops, thank you!” He probably intended to come to my room when it was time to go to bed.

At 10 o’clock, I heard a careful knock on the door.

When I opened the door, Ina was standing there, dressed in light clothing, hugging her pillow.

“Ehehehe. Hi?”

“Uh, yes.”

For a moment, she was at a loss for words.

Slightly wet hair and smooth skin. A warm body and slightly closed eyes. Even the white hands covered by rather large sleeves.

Even though I had already seen it once, my heart started beating like the first time.

I couldn’t help it. Everything is difficult at first. Ina gets excited every time. No, if her heart doesn’t beat when she sees Ina like this, isn’t that a sin as a man?

After taking a deep breath, she spoke.

“Come in.”

“Yes!”

Ina smiled and entered her room.

“Excuse me.”

Ina sat softly on her bed, moving her legs back and forth while humming her song. What song was it She is lost in her thoughts when Ina speaks to her.

“Over there.”

“Why?”

“Last time, you only stayed by my side until I fell asleep, right?”

“I did.”

The last time you came to my house. It was before Ina and I became lovers.

Late at night, we sleep together on my bed in my room……. Such things have yet to be told to us. We’re not even dating. There was nothing shameless about it.

“What are you going to do today?”

“You will sleep on the bed, I will sleep on the floor.”

“I heard you slept next to me when we weren’t even dating?”

“Because we are dating.”

I threw my gaze somewhere on the desk and continued to talk behind my back.

“Unlike then, I might not be able to stand it.”

“…… Ah, ah.”

Ina let out an incomprehensible sound one tempo later. It seems that it took some time to accept my words.

She glanced sideways to see that she was muttering something of her own with red cheeks. They approached me to their heart’s content, but the moment I take a step, they show me this kind of reaction. A bitter laugh burst out.

“But today, well, I will sit by your side until you fall asleep. Is this okay?”

“Ugh, yes. Okay.”

Answering that, Ina nodded her head.

“Well, I don’t care if you can’t stand it and rush at me.”

“I can’t stand it when you say that.”

“Ahahahaha. Then we need to focus on this point.”

“…… Do as you please.”

She let out a deep sigh, got up, and turned the switch on the room.

“Go to sleep.”

“Yes.”

She answered softly and Ina hid her body under the blanket.

When I cover it, it’s a futon that makes my feet stick out a little, but when Ina covers it, it looks big. Her tiny body was barely covered. Maybe one or two could easily cover it.

I pulled off the blanket and sat down in the seat next to him. In response to the creak of her bed, Ina pulled down the covers and showed her face.

“Whoops.”

“Why are you laughing?”

“Because it’s interesting.”

“What is interesting?”

At my question, Ina gave out a “Umm~” Sound.

“Everything I went through since meeting you.”

“Okay. I haven’t done much.”

“No. It’s enough just to connect you to the spot.”

“Really?”

“Isn’t it? If you hadn’t been a member of the newspaper club, if I hadn’t read your articles, if I hadn’t been curious about you, if I hadn’t asked strange questions…….”

Ina smiled once again.

“Otherwise, I wouldn’t have had the chance to sleep in your bed like this.”

“You don’t have to have a chance to sleep in my bed.”

“Going out with you, going to the pool, going to the library together…… There would have been no kissing.”

“That’s, well, that’s right.”

“And you wouldn’t have met your sister or your parents at your house like this.”

Ina spoke softly in a whisper-like tone.

“I mean. I had a lot of fun today.”

“Because I skipped school and played with my sister?”

“Ahahahaha. That, and everything else.”

“Other things?”

“Waiting for you to come home, talking about this and that while eating with your parents or sister.”

After listening this far, I understood what Ina wanted to convey. She is the reason Ina was happy, joyful, and happy today. If it’s simple, even for a simple reason, I haven’t been able to focus.

Today Ina was like a member of my family.

“Wait, very briefly, but I’ve been thinking about that.”

Ina continued her speech in a somewhat forlorn tone.

“You are really my biological sister, your parents were my parents, and you are my older brother…… No, I wondered what it would have been like if it had been my husband.”

“The genealogy got twisted at the end.”

“It can’t be helped. In Korea, siblings cannot marry each other.”

“I don’t think so.”

She tried to lighten the somewhat heavy atmosphere with a joke, but it wasn’t easy. It was a story that had no choice but to be serious. It’s a problem that Ina is having now, and one that needs to be resolved someday.

“If only I had worked harder. If only I had studied harder and lived as a better child. Could my family have gotten along like this…… ?”

It is a word that does not contain emotions such as confusion, sadness, pain, or anger. Instead, there was only self-reproach.

“It’s not your fault.”

“But I am the only one who can protect my family.”

Again, Ina uttered words of self-reproach. She didn’t want to see me saying that. She didn’t do anything wrong, but she was blaming herself, which made her angry for no reason.

That’s why I couldn’t stand it any longer.

“There is something I want to tell you.”

“Huh?”

Ina asked in doubt.

There was something I wanted to say to Ina. It was a word that had been on my mind for quite some time. I was afraid to let her speak, but I kept holding on.

But now I have to tell you.

“I want you to stop being a good kid.”

At my words, Ina startled and shuddered.

“What do you mean?”

“Literally.”

Take a deep breath and continue the explanation.

“I hope you don’t play the role of a good kid anymore and try to support your family.”

The rope that was tying Ina. That was her or her parents’ tangled problems.

In order to protect her family, Ina has endured what she wants to do. She endured things she didn’t want to do. She’s never experienced anything normal, and she’s been through things she wouldn’t normally go through.

If that’s what makes Ina hard.

It’s better to stop doing that.

“No.”

Ina answered with a firm tone.

“Just as I have been protecting my family until now, if I try my best in the future… ….”

“Still, it will be impossible for your parents to go back to the way they used to.”

Of course, I have never met Ina’s parents. I’ve never even heard what it looked like, let alone the story.

But I definitely felt that I had no attachment to my family or home. She said everything, to the extent that she turned over all the furniture and clothes before leaving.

With a relationship like that, it wouldn’t be strange if it collapsed anytime.

No, probably not. This relationship must have already collapsed to the extent that it cannot be called a family.

Ina is not enduring as a pillar of a building that is about to collapse. In a building that has already collapsed and left only rubble, she is only dragging something about to fall.

Is the relationship that Ina is trying to protect through such hardships worth it?

At least I don’t think so.

“Why?”

It was a trembling voice.

“Why are you saying that?”

Ina looked perplexed.

It is natural. What I am saying now is not consolation or support. Instead, it was a denial of everything Ina had done.

She dismissed all of her efforts to be a good child and protect her family as futile effort.

That’s why I couldn’t keep my mouth shut.

But I had to tell.

“You promised at the pool the other day.”

I said it as calmly as possible.

“I will stop anything before you get into trouble.”

Ugh, a voice came from behind.

Ina has already gone through a lot of hardships, and I didn’t have the ability to stop them. However, it was possible if it prevented the difficult things to go through in the future.

If it’s a gay person who supports her family, it’s possible to put an end to that relationship, depending on Ina’s heart.

It must be sad for Ina.

‘When you go through something sad, there is someone who will accept the sadness with you. Like the timing to endure sadness for the sake of the future. It would be fine in that situation.’

Jia said so.

In that case. If only I could accept that sadness Maybe now is the best time.

“You may not be trustworthy, but I will be with you. If things go wrong, I’ll take care of them somehow. That’s why I hope you don’t hug me alone anymore.”

After a long talk, she caught her breath.

“This is all I want to say.”

The only thing left now is Ina’s choice.

How to do it. It’s not my part All I have to do is end here. The future will depend on what Ina decides.

If Ina wants to continue like this, she has no choice but to follow suit.

The sound of the second hand of the clock, the faint sound of a car outside the window. The sound of Ina’s breathing buried in various noises. She put everything in her ears and waited patiently for Ina’s answer.

How much time has passed? Soon Ina opened her mouth.

“Even if I don’t become a good kid.”

“Yes.”

Ina smiled a little.

“Will you keep liking me?”

It was a strange question that Ina usually likes to ask.

You dare to ask when I know how to answer.

“Of course not.”

And I added a word.

“I like bad boys, so that’s okay.”

“Ahahahaha. That’s what I said.”

With a small smile, Ina stood up.

Then he said a knock and buried his face in my back.

“Can I borrow a little lamp?”

“As much as you like.”

I wonder if that answer puts my mind at ease.

“…… Ugh.”

Ina stopped screaming and started sobbing.

She cried for a long time as if she was about to pour out the tears she had been holding back. She shed tears for a long time, as if she wanted to throw away the sad and difficult things in those tears.

I wanted to turn my back and hug you, but I felt like I would cry too if I did. I just listened in silence.
