HBWnovel Chapter 32
Chapter 32
Si-yoon quietly lifted her heels.@@@@
With that, she stealthily walked toward Si-hyun, careful not to make noise by stepping on her new clothes and the bag.
As she reached near the sofa, a wider smile spread across her face.
She’ll be so surprised if I call her suddenly!
And on top of that, she would praise the new clothes.
Surely, there would be an adorable reaction!
Excited by the idea of playing a prank, Si-yoon took a deep breath.
And then...
“Sis!”
She called out to Si-hyun energetically.
“...Huh? What?”
Si-hyun, who had been lying down, turned slightly to look at Si-yoon.
There was no sign of surprise at all.
At the lackluster response, Si-yoon felt a bit disappointed.
She had sneaked up so quietly, so why didn’t she get startled?
Did she actually notice but just didn’t care?
But there was still a chance.
Si-yoon calmly opened her mouth.
“The new clothes look great on you! What do you think? Do you like them?”
“Ah, yeah! This is really something. I almost regret not buying it sooner.”
“I told you it was a good choice, didn’t I?”
“Yeah, yeah. I’ll pick out more things you recommend next time.”
Si-hyun nodded happily.
As the conversation wrapped up, she turned her attention back to her phone and immersed herself in the manga.
Si-yoon felt a vague emotion rising within her.
Both her prank and teasing had failed.
It was a complete defeat.
Perhaps it was because the dolphin pants were something that even men could wear, so there was no aversion at all.
I was a little hopeful...
It felt too early to back down.
How could she tease her in a way that would elicit a cute response?
Standing still in place, Si-yoon rapidly brainstormed.
Rolling her eyes, she observed her sister.
Si-hyun was comfortably lying down.
Her crossed ankles slowly rose and fell in a repetitive motion.
Every now and then, her toes would wiggle when she focused.
Si-yoon fixated on her sister's soft feet.
...This is it!
Having spotted her target, Si-yoon perfectly timed her move as Si-hyun's legs rose, quickly sitting down on the sofa.
She placed her legs right on top of her thighs.
“...?”
Si-hyun looked over in confusion for a moment but then turned her head away.
That meant she was concentrating on her manga.
Si-yoon shifted slightly and began to play with Si-hyun's feet.
She could feel the soft and warm texture.
‘Hmm...?’
This felt strange. The suitable resilience from her feet was oddly enjoyable.
What had started as a prank was now purely addictive.
Before she realized it, Si-yoon was unconsciously rubbing her sister's soles and toes.
“Si, Si-yoon...? What are you doing...?”
“Hmm? I don’t know?”
“It tickles, can you stop...?”
“Hehe, no, it just feels really nice!”
Yoo Byeong-jun was among the lowest of the S-rank hunters.
[A-rank hunter Kim Ji-a successfully conquered the A-rank dungeon once again!]
[Hunter Kim Ji-a took only half a day for the conquest.]
[A new S-rank hunter may be emerging in Korea.]
[Civilians cheer for the appearance of a hero: “Indeed, it’s Kim Ji-a!”]
“Damn it!”
Watching the news, Yoo Byeong-jun turned off the TV and threw the remote to the floor.
The sound of the remote breaking echoed in the room.
“Not her again... again, again!”
Yoo Byeong-jun was in a foul mood lately.
When you think of a spear master in Korea, who comes to mind?
Naturally, he would be the first to be mentioned.
That was exactly what Yoo Byeong-jun wanted.
When someone mentioned spear masters, he wanted to be the only name that came up, standing tall at the top.
But the reality was that there was always one additional name mentioned alongside his.
Kim Ji-a. She had been like this every year.
When Yoo Byeong-jun achieved B-rank, she rose as a special prospect and then achieved C-rank.
When he reached A-rank, she followed suit by achieving B-rank.
Moreover, that wasn’t the end of it.
After he finally reached S-rank, just when he thought things would settle down, she had disbanded her fixed party and soloed dungeons to achieve A-rank.
Recently, she had even tackled A-rank dungeons twice in a row, maintaining her upward momentum.
Damn, isn’t she just an A-rank?
He had participated in S-rank dungeon raids, showcasing his skills.
He was one of the few top-tier hunters in Korea.
This couldn’t continue.
While he was stagnating, she kept growing; it was unbearable.
He wouldn’t tolerate being surpassed.
Yoo Byeong-jun bit his lips tightly, his expression twisted in frustration.
He walked around the living room, lost in thought.
He needed to come up with a good plan.
A Few Days Later
“Yawn—”
Si-yoon let out a large yawn.
It had been only a little while since finishing lunch, and drowsiness was creeping in.
She moved lazily from her room, finishing her broadcast setup.
After preparing, she sank deeply into her chair.
Si-yoon stared blankly at the ceiling.
There was still quite a bit of time before the broadcast started.
As she pondered what to do with her spare time, light thoughts wandered through her mind.
“Oh, should I check that?”
Si-yoon opened the chat window from her previous broadcast.
Her sister always watched her live streams except when she was busy working.
While there were times when she could see the chat in real-time, she had never checked the chat history separately.
A sudden curiosity sparked.
Si-yoon smiled widely as she reviewed the chat history.
What does ‘kut’ mean?Ah, lol, it’s a joke about breasts, right? Thanks for the kind explanation!KutKut!What meme is a phone number that’s the same forwards and backwards?Breasts and backs are the same, haha, you guys are too much, lol.Hahaha.
In an instant, Si-yoon’s expression hardened as she stared blankly at the history.
Unconsciously, her hand trembled as she scrolled through the mouse wheel.
...What on earth is this?
Her innocent sister was slowly being tainted while interacting with her viewers.
She couldn’t understand why that meme kept appearing only in her broadcasts, especially since she wasn’t small enough to be compared like that!
Si-yoon covered her face with both hands.
She felt so embarrassed that she could hardly lift her head.
After a moment, Si-yoon steeled herself and raised her head.
She entered the broadcast settings.
Banned Word: Kut.
With a determined decision, Si-yoon added the setting.
Afterward, she spent time contemplating how to protect her sister's innocence.
She pondered how to ensure that her broadcasts remained pure and clean.
