"Ouch~"
My cheek stung with a tingling pain from the pinch.
"Don't pinch."
"Are you awake now?" Kim Ha-Yan, who had lightly pinched my cheek, smiled brightly and stroked it with her hand.
"Ugh… Don't stroke it."
"Hehehe, shy. Why is my Taeyang so cute? Your noona came to wake you."
My older sister smiled kindly. Her fair skin contrasted with her long black hair. Her dark eyes, the same color as her hair, looked at me warmly, and a charming beauty mark sat on her lower cheek. Aside from that, she had a pretty nose and enchanting pink lips. And if I had to mention her figure, her ample chest was definitely eye-catching.
Even without the memories of my previous life, if someone asked me if my sister was beautiful, I couldn't deny it.
The problem was... when I remembered my previous life, it was the same. She perfectly matched the heroine of the last yandere story I'd played, 'Kim Ha-Yan.'
"Come on, let's eat and go to school. Since it's your first day, your noona will make sure you look good."
I nodded and sent her downstairs.
"Haa~ Let's organize my thoughts first."
Without getting up, I leaned against the wall of the bed.
"So, my sister, who's always like this, is going to kill people later?"
It had been almost sixteen years since I'd lived with Kim Ha-Yan. In that time, I'd never known a kinder, more homely, or better older sister. Siblings often fight, especially when they're only two years apart. But we rarely did. When I was younger and wanted something, she'd just give it to me. She'd take food away, give me more, or even cook my favorite dishes.
My sister once cried because I was mischievous. After that day, feeling guilty, I decided to be nice to her.
So I didn't understand. How could an older sister who was kinder to her family than anyone else do such a thing?
*It's family, so let's believe in that.*
Unlike my previous life, which I only experienced through games, I was now living it. I brushed off my disturbed mood and headed to the living room. Because nothing was happening right now.
"It's toast."
"Yeah, I don't have any ingredients at home."
"It's okay, your noona's toast is delicious."
I sat facing my sister at the table. She smiled brightly when I complimented her. Maybe it was because of the memories from my previous life, but she looked even prettier.
"Is it really good?"
"Yes. My noona always takes care of me, so I should eat it deliciously."
My mother went to work early and came home late, so my older sister always cooked for me. Side dishes should be eaten with gratitude and not complaining.
"Oh, my Taeyang said all those things…" Admiringly, my sister pretended to wipe away tears, saying, "Our Taeyang is all grown up~."
I am so impressed… She's such a tender and kind older sister, but she later becomes a yandere killer? Absolutely not.
Convinced again, I put the toast in my mouth.
"Taeyang, you know what?"
"Huh?"
She paused while eating toast and looked at me. My sister smiled and wiped the jam from my mouth before saying, "I heard on the news today that there are more than seven billion people living on the planet we live on."
"Yes…"
"Then, the probability that Taeyang and I are family is about one in seven billion, right?"
"Is that so?"
"Hehehe, it's like fate."
Nope! Those were the lines Kim Ha-Yan says to Seon-woo at the end! Thanks to that, the toast seemed to have stopped halfway down my esophagus. I drank milk in one gulp to soothe my clogged stomach.
"Ah, spilling again… Because I can't wipe it well."
'It's just that my hands are shaking because I was agitated by what I just said.'
I can't say that.
I refused my sister, who was trying to wipe it, and wiped it myself. I'm not even a kid. How long are you going to do this?
The meal, which made me feel awkward, was over.
"Now, wash up and come. Your noona will do your hair."
"... Is this really necessary, noona?"
"Why?"
"My older sister… Aren't you going to kill me?"
"What are you saying?"
Oops, I was so anxious that I unknowingly blurted out my inner thoughts. My sister let out a blank laugh, as if it was absurd.
"I will kill you if you don't wash quickly and are late."
"Hee-"
My older sister said it with a playful laugh, but I couldn't take it as a joke, so I hurried away.

My reflection in the mirror was still the same. Natural blonde hair. Natural dark skin. This contrasted with my older sister, who had dark hair and fair skin. For reference, we were definitely siblings. It's just that I received my father's genetics, and my sister got our mother's.
Until yesterday, I didn't attach any special meaning to this look. Sometimes, when my friends got a girlfriend, I just didn't understand why they strangely avoided me or tried to hide her girlfriend. It was only when the memories of my previous life came back that I could understand their actions.
My older sister Kim Ga-he's younger brother, 'Kim Taeyang,' was a gag character the production crew deliberately created. Just by existing, users would say, 'This guy looks ominous, hahahaha, doesn't he even have an NTR ending?' It was being used as a meme in the love chain game gallery. Even in the game, there was a mention that he was likely to steal his girlfriend just because of his appearance, and even Seon-woo was wary of Kim Ga-he's route.
Actually, I've never once thought of stealing a woman. What do you do by stealing someone else's lover?
"How long will Kim Taeyang procrastinate?"
As I was staring at the full-length mirror, my sister urged me by knocking on the doorframe.
"Oh, sorry."
I was caught by my sister for a while, and my hair was touched here and there before being released. Thanks to that, I walked out the front door with my older sister, wearing a bag, with my hair neater.
"Do you know the way? Your noona can't take you."
"I'm in my third year of middle school now. How long are you going to take care of me?"
"Then I guess I should have grown taller first."
My sister said with a teasing smile. She should be angry, but her smile was so pretty that I didn't get angry. As my sister said, I was looking up at her face right now. My height was only about my sister's chest. This was because I was still in my growth phase. By the way, this was not my wish. If this world was inside the 'love chain' game, I would be taller. I was almost a shota character when I was in middle school, but after I came up to high school, my height grew rapidly. My body got better than Seon-woo, and around that time, Seon-woo started to be wary. At that time, it was really Golden Sun mode. Anyway, as a result, until yesterday, if I talked about height, I would have been angry, but now it's okay.
"Hmm?…" My sister was puzzled when I didn't respond.
"Okay, let's go to school quickly. They said they'll kill me if I'm late?"
"Oh, I did. It will be difficult if Taeyang dies, so I have to go quickly."
My older sister made scary noises brightly. We were going together, and after crossing the first crosswalk, we parted ways. The middle school I was going to and the high school my sister was going to were a bit far apart in the opposite direction.

"Haa~ I'm dying of anxiety."
I was dying of anxiety while walking down the street. If it was true that I entered the game, today was the first day Seon-woo transferred… Seon-woo, and my older sister, Kim Ga-he, would meet by chance. Seon-woo would find a small accessory that my sister dropped while accidentally bumping into it.
I had no intention of interfering with someone else's relationship, but the story was different if my life depended on it. A warm day at the beginning of the first semester when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom. On the contrary, my body temperature was dropping due to chills.
After much thought and thought, I stopped.
"Haa… Let's f*cking go."
That's the only way. I turned my steps and ran straight ahead.
---
I knew roughly the location of my sister's school. I guessed the buildings around the way to school while clearing the pre-protest a few times. Of course, I only saw the way to school from Seon-woo's point of view, but since the road was simple, I'd be able to find it even where we parted ways.
*Please don't meet yet. Please…*
I ran praying earnestly.
"Ah, I found it."
As I entered a residential area dotted with alleys, I saw the back of my sister's long straight hair. Fortunately, it seemed they hadn't met yet. But it was scary to find it, and you could see the alley in front of you where you collide with Seonwoo.
We have to stop it before it gets that far! I recklessly ran to it and grabbed my sister's arm.
"… Uh, Taeyang?"
"Huh… Huh… "
"What, you thought your liver was falling out! What's the matter?"
Well, it's surprising when someone suddenly grabs your arm from behind. My older sister looked around while saying that she was in trouble. And after that, the moment I saw the figure of a man wearing the same school uniform as my sister in the alleyway…
"Oh! What?"
"That, noona!"
My sister pulled at the man's arm, not wanting to see him. Thanks to that, my sister's eyes turned to me, who grabbed her arm.
"Taeyang, what's wrong?"
A man snoops this way. Damn, I need to get my attention back soon.
"You know… that… I don't know the way."
"What?"
Ha, it really is the greatest humiliation of my life.
"Can't my sister go with me?"
"I heard you can go alone… at your age."
"If you take me… Can't we?"
I begged in a childish voice as much as possible. I really hate what I'm doing, but I have to put up with it. My sister looked at me in trouble and sighed deeply.
"Even though they say they are all grown up… Let's go. Instead, I won't really forgive you if you are late."
"Yes!"
I laughed hard and nodded innocently. Holding my sister's hand tightly, I turned to middle school. Ha… f*ck yeah, it's better than dying. Being in the third year of middle school and having to hold hands with my older sister to go to school because I don't know the way, I think I'm going to look around in shame, but it's actually better than dying.
"I see."
My sister suddenly laughed to herself and nodded her head.
"Ogugu~ It was difficult for Taeyang to go to school alone, so he wanted to go with his sister~?"
"Stop it."
"I can't help it, Taeyang is still young, so hold hands tight. I will protect you."
Should I just die? Would it have been better to die? In order to be treated like an infant, would it be better to kill that man named Seon-woo right now?
Whoo~ Let's keep our reason. He turned away his reddened face and pulled out his hand.
"I can go alone from here!"
"What? I'll just accompany you to the school gate. It'll be troublesome if you come back blindly again."
"Go… you can go! It won't be like this anymore."
"Hey~ Really?"
You're trying to make fun of me. I didn't know that I would come back like this because I usually pretended to be an adult.
"R… Really! And your sister shouldn't be late either. I'll go."
"There is still time… Oh, Taeyang!"
I immediately turned around and ran. Still, with this, I pulled the first flag. I wish I wouldn't have to get close to Seon-woo through this incident. Feeling ashamed and relieved at the same time, I ran away.
However, the running steps stopped within a few steps.
"Huh? You… "
Because a woman wearing the same school uniform as my sister appeared in the direction facing us, and she pretended to know us.
