No, what is this?
What situation is this, seriously?
Well, first of all, I could understand that Lee Soo-ah offered to dry my hair.
Even though I was a man in my previous life, it was obvious that I wouldn’t know how girls spent time together, but somehow, I could imagine them drying and touching each other’s hair.
Maybe it was because of the scenes often depicted in the anime I used to watch during my teenage years, though I’m not sure.
But, aside from Lee Soo-ah, the other two—
“…Are you really going to wear that?”
I asked while looking at Shin So-hee, who was clutching one of my uniform shirts like she wasn’t willing to give it up.
“Yeah, this is enough for me. I only wear a shirt at home anyway.”
…You only wear one shirt at home? Does that even make sense?
Ah, well, I’ve never had a sister, so I can’t be sure.
But no matter how you look at it, wearing just panties and a shirt doesn’t evoke the image of casual homewear.
Instead, it brings to mind scenes from movies where the female lead wears her boyfriend’s shirt after a romantic moment.
Of course, I’ve heard that there’s a girl group member who supposedly walks around naked in the group’s dormitory, so if it’s comfortable for her, I guess it’s possible.
There are billions of people in the world, and naturally, everyone’s preferences can’t be the same.
Yeah, Shin So-hee is a character from a dating simulation game.
Even though she didn’t have explicit fan service scenes in the original game art, it’s not strange if her mindset is a bit like that of a game heroine…
At least, that’s what I told myself, trying to accept the current situation.
Though I still don’t understand why she’s looking at me so fervently while saying that, instead of at the heroine.
I can’t imagine that she’s fallen for me so quickly when we’ve known each other for less than a week… so I guess I’ll just take her words at face value.
However, no matter how much I try to understand the situation, there’s one thing I just can’t grasp.
“The shirt size won’t fit, though?”
Exactly.
Ye Sara also had a chest—albeit a modest one.
Since she was a dating sim character, it wasn’t a tragic case of ‘her belly sticks out more than her chest’.
When she wore thin clothes, you could still tell she was female.
…Although, her figure made it seem like she might not even need a bra, but anyhow.
Now, what about Shin So-hee?
Even with the game’s simple art, it was easy to tell she had large breasts.
No, perhaps she was even bordering on being busty.
Since she was tall and proportionate, it didn’t feel too exaggerated, but her chest was undeniably noticeable.
In short, the difference in size between her and Ye Sara was too large to even compare.
Not only her chest, but her height and frame were also different.
Honestly, even if they had the same cup size, I couldn’t imagine Shin So-hee fitting into my shirt.
“Well, even if it’s a bit tight, it’s fine. I’m actually pretty slim, you know?”
No, that doesn’t seem to be the issue here…
Anyway, I doubt she’d listen if I offered her another outfit, so I decided to let it slide.
The hairdryer softly hummed as it blew warm air.
Though different from Yang Hye-in’s style, Lee Soo-ah’s touch was gentle, ensuring my hair didn’t tangle or hurt as she brushed it. It felt nice.
As I was unknowingly squinting my eyes, Ha-neul spoke up.
“I’ll wear this!”
The outfit Ha-neul held up was the black t-shirt she had picked out for me on Saturday.
Hmm…
Yoo Ha-neul was about my height, but I was slimmer.
Her chest was definitely larger than mine.
But since t-shirts are stretchy, it shouldn’t cause any major problems.
At most, the chest area might stretch a little.
“And this too!”
“……”
However, this presented a different issue.
What Ha-neul was confidently holding up was—rolled up—my panties.
In other words, Ye Sara’s panties.
That’s right.
Panties.
Light blue panties.
“…Are you really okay with this?”
I asked again.
Is it really normal for girls to share underwear?
Do girls even borrow each other’s underwear?
I honestly have no idea.
As a former guy, if one of my male friends had asked to borrow my underwear, I would’ve freaked out.
Sure, in the military, where supplies were scarce, there were guys who would steal others’ underwear, but in society, there’s no need for that.
You can just go to a convenience store and buy extra underwear.
Even if buying extra isn’t an option, I’d have no problem telling a friend to just wear yesterday’s pair again.
But for girls—
Moreover, this world isn’t the ordinary world I lived in.
It’s a dating sim world.
A world where girls being romantically involved with other girls is somewhat normal.
Which makes this even stranger.
Is it really that normal for girls to lend each other their underwear?
Look, even Shin So-hee is squinting as she watches Ha-neul.
Besides, Shin So-hee had already bought herself some underwear from a convenience store.
“I’m fine.”
But when someone answers so confidently, I can’t argue.
If that’s how it is, I guess I just have to accept it according to the logic of this world.
Well… it’s not like there’s any reason to feel uneasy.
She’ll wash it before wearing it anyway.
“Sara, your hair is so smooth. Do you take care of it every day?”
Care… probably?
I just sit there half asleep after showering, and Yang Hye-in does everything for me.
She seems to apply various things to my hair.
In the evenings, I just dry and brush it.
“I guess so. I don’t really take care of it myself.”
“I-I see.”
Lee Soo-ah answered, slightly flustered.
Well, even in wealthy families, it’s rare to have a live-in maid.
Besides, Yang Hye-in was young and beautiful.
It would cost a fortune to hire someone like her…
Ah, that’s right, I already know her salary.
Honestly, if the head of the household were a man instead of a woman, my imagination would’ve run wild.
Even though it’s a woman, I still can’t help thinking some inappropriate thoughts…
But luckily, I know the head of the house hardly ever comes to this mansion.
So, there’s no reason to misunderstand anything.
“By the way, aren’t you girls going to shower?”
As I asked, an awkward silence fell between the three of them.
They glanced at each other, unsure.
Had they not decided on the order yet?
Swish, swish.
As I felt the gentle touch on the back of my head again, I squinted my eyes.
“You smell nice. Is there something special you use?”
Lee Soo-ah, who had been brushing my hair, asked.
Without turning around, I answered, afraid I might disrupt her brushing.
“Uh… I don’t know the name. Should I ask the maid tomorrow?”
“Sure. I’d like to use the same one. Then we’ll smell the same.”
“Uh, s-sure…?”
Is this how people usually say they want to use the same shampoo…?

“Okay, I’ll shower first.”
Shin So-hee said as she got up.
In truth, I couldn’t help but feel uneasy as she stood.
Anyone could see that Yoo Ha-neul had feelings for me, and now, Lee Soo-ah was happily running her fingers through my hair.
Leaving them alone to go into the shower felt unsettling.
Even the usually disinterested Lee Soo-ah was still brushing my hair with a smile, even after turning off the hairdryer.
Like a cat enjoying a scratch on the neck, I was squinting my eyes, unaware of what was happening behind me.
But Shin So-hee had seen it.
Just moments ago, Lee Soo-ah had subtly lifted a strand of my hair and brought it close to her nose.
I, who hadn’t turned around, didn’t know what had happened.
…I had completely let my guard down.
But at least, Lee Soo-ah’s expression didn’t show the blatant emotions that Yoo Ha-neul had.
So even that small action of sniffing my hair seemed as if she was just curious about the scent.
Still, I had to remember that Lee Soo-ah, while not as wealthy as Ye Sara, also came from a rich family.
It would be easy for her to hide her emotions.
…But, fortunately, both of them were as timid as Shin So-hee herself.
Even though Lee Soo-ah hid her feelings, and Yoo Ha-neul openly displayed hers, neither of them had confessed to me yet.
They were simply enjoying some physical contact for now.
Unless they became certain of their feelings, nothing would happen while Shin So-hee was in the shower…
Probably.
Shin So-hee comforted herself with that thought.
After all, she needed to shower anyway.
It would be her turn once the others were done.
…Still, she resolved to finish as quickly as possible.
Shin So-hee glanced at Sara, who was squinting her eyes in pleasure under Lee Soo-ah’s touch.

“I’m done showering!”
Huh?
She hadn’t been in there long, had she?
Well, I guess you can shower quickly if you want.
But even so, there’s a minimum time it takes.
Figuring out where everything is in an unfamiliar shower, adjusting the water temperature if it’s too hot or cold, and Shin So-hee’s hair was quite long.
It should’ve taken a while just to shampoo it.
Nothing had happened while Shin So-hee was in the shower.
Lee Soo-ah had been busy with my hair, and Ha-neul had been watching enviously.
I had been enjoying the gentle touch without realizing how much time had passed when Shin So-hee suddenly burst out of the shower.
“All done—huh!”
I looked at Shin So-hee absentmindedly and then involuntarily gasped.
…Shin So-hee had somehow squeezed herself into my shirt.
That’s right.
She was ‘wearing it’.
Even though it didn’t fit at all.
Her waist was incredibly slim.
She had barely managed to button the shirt over her stomach, but of course, she hadn’t been able to button it over her chest.
She had only fastened the button just under her chest, and it looked like it was about to pop off at any moment.
Naturally, the top part of the shirt was completely unbuttoned.
It was even more revealing than when I left three buttons undone, giving an even more intense view of the…
Well, that area.
And because our heights were different, the shirt was much shorter than what a movie heroine might wear from her boyfriend.
Which meant that her underwear was fully exposed.
At least the underwear she bought at the convenience store had plenty of fabric.
“…Don’t you think you should put on something underneath as well?”
Though it was clear she wasn’t wearing a bra either, I didn’t have the courage to point that out, so I asked instead.
“I usually don’t wear anything to bed down there.”
Oh, right.
There are guys who only sleep in boxers too.
“……”
In the end, with no more arguments left, I chose to keep my mouth shut.
