Chapter 19 - - My Brother is Gay?! Part 6 (1/2)

&“What?!&“

&“I know you're not married yet, so I trust you haven't.&“

&“Uh. I don't... what?!&“ My face burned red as if a fire had been lit underneath me. &“Are you insane? How could you ask such a thing?&“

I was so surprised and taken aback that I inhaled the wine as if it was a glass of ice water. JiHan's expression didn't change one bit, and he stared at me in all seriousness.

&“You haven't yet, have you?&“

&“No, well, no. But why not? We're both old enough.&“

&“You can't. You're not even married yet.&“

&“What does that have to do with marriage? You do it when you want to.&“

JiHan gawked at me with an expression that said what kind of girl is this?

&“Look here. That should only be done between married couples,&“ he said sternly.

&“That's only in the olden days when you met your partner without even seeing their face, and you spent your first night together!&“

&“So are you saying you have?!&“ JiHan questioned me with rounded eyes.

&“Oh! I didn't! I didn't!&“ I fanned my face as I denied the fact hotly.

I was getting dizzy from the rising heat in my face, but JiHan seemed to have some heat left to spare, as he continued to say even more inappropriate things.

&“Then do it.&“

&“What?!&“

&“You should see if you're sexually compatible with my brother before you get married.&“

&“You just said that should only be done between married couples!&“

&“And you said that's only how the older generation thinks. So with your 21st century mind, rethink the marriage after you've had sex together.&“

Wow. How could you say that so piously and logically! Am I the only one that's hot?! Am I the only one embarrassed? Not only was I extremely hot around the collar, I felt like I was having an out of body experience. I was so furious that I reflexively lifted the glass to my lips. Regrettably, the wine glass was empty.

&“Alcohol! Give me more alcohol!&“ I pushed the glass in front of JiHan, unafraid.

Without any criticism, JiHan tipped the wine bottle over my glass. Strangely, the glass did not fill. Not a single drop.

&“There seems to be no more wine,&“ JiHan said as he casually took away the wine bottle.

&“There's no more? Why?&“

Unable to believe it, I grabbed the bottle with both my hands. I pulled the bottle away forcefully and placed it in front of my eyes, but they were getting heavy, and the bottle disappeared from view as my vision went black.

&“It's gone?&“ The wine bottle suddenly reappeared in front of the devastated me. &“Huh? It's here! Here!&“

With a wide grin, I tipped the wine bottle over my empty glass, but nothing flowed out of it.

&“Huh? There's no more...&“ My eyes started to water. &“Why...why isn't it here? Why isn't there any?&“

&“Hey. Are you drunk?&“ I could hear Lee JiHan's voice from somewhere, but the sudden flow of tears blocked my vision. Unable to see anything, I started to cry uncontrollably.

Lee JiHan

Like an open faucet, Na AhJung's tears flowed freely.

&“Alcohol...alcohol…&“ She cried like a child looking for her mother.

I froze at the sudden tear fest but got up as I realized how drunk this girl was.

&“You're drunk so let's get you to your room so you can sleep.&“

When I went to support her, AhJung flung her arm away from me. She then spun 180 degrees and wrapped her arms and legs around the chair tightly. Like a cicada attached to a tree, she remained entwined in the chair and started to bawl.

&“Alcohol...alcohol!&“ she cried, like a chirping cricket.

&“There's no alcohol,&“ I told her.

&“Why? Why isn't there anymore?&“ AhJung asked with a look of betrayal.

She looked at me as if I had hidden it away from her so she couldn't have it.
