I Became a Gallery Manager in Another World

Fondle fondle-

“Poporing, understand? What you did wasn’t an investment; it was just gambling. Investment means preparing for the future with effort and knowledge, not betting everything on a moment’s luck.”

“Ugh…!♥…Hah…!♥…This…Ian…oppa…!♥…Ah…Hah…!♥”

“Right, gambling might give you a win once or twice if you’re lucky. But look at you now. You’ve lost everything with just one failure. That’s gambling.”

Fondle fondle-

It was advice for Poporing, but also a reminder to myself.

‘You didn’t cherish contraception.’

Considering what I had done recently, if someone came to me with a 2-line pregnancy test, I’d have nothing to say.

Of course, most of the raw sex was on safe days…

But just not using contraception significantly increased the chances of pregnancy.

‘I need to be more careful.’

There’s no guarantee that if you didn’t get pregnant after 100 times of raw sex, you wouldn’t on the 101st time.

“Of course, I know that raw sex feels much better…”

“…Raw?♥”

I misspoke.

“Ahem, anyway, living diligently might seem slow and foolish at first. But if you keep trying and accumulate small successes, you’ll surely find a better path. So, don’t run away from reality when it gets tough; face it head-on.”

“Ugh!♥…Ah…I…understand!♥…I’ll…try!♥…Oh, really?!…♥ Wait…oppa…let go!..Clothes!..♥ Oh?!♥…Now…really…♥…Ugh!…Ah!♥…Ugh…!♥”

“Look. Even now, you’re trying to run away instead of facing it.”

Squeeze-!

I pushed Poporing’s nipples, which were trying to pop out without permission, back under her areolas.

“Ah!!♥…No…can’t!..♥ No more…can’t…hold!♥ Ah…Ahh!…Ugh…!♥♥”

At the same time, Poporing’s head tilted back, and her shoulders trembled.

Shiver shiver-

“I…Ian!…Oppa…!♥♥”

Sweet breath escaped from Poporing’s open mouth, and her half-closed eyes looked at me with longing.

‘…How did it come to this?’

At first, I touched her without any ulterior motive, just to shock her into her senses…

But her ‘bouncing breasts’ felt so good in my hands that I ended up fondling them for over an hour.

‘I should stop here.’

I was a man who knew when to draw the line.

If it was an unconscious touch, that’s one thing, but I couldn’t keep touching her once I was aware of it.

Putting aside a bit of regret, I took my hands off her sweat-drenched chest and continued.

“Now you understand, right? Even if what I say sounds like nagging, it’s all for Poporing’s good, you know?”

“Ugh…!Hah!…Ahh!…Ugh…♥ Yes…I…understand…♥”

“Even me fondling your breasts was because I see you as a little sister. They say a bit of skinship strengthens the bond between siblings. Don’t you want to get along with me?”

Poporing nodded with a dazed look instead of answering.

Of course, being an orphan, I didn’t really know if it’s okay for a brother to touch his sister’s breasts.

How would I know since I never had a sister?

But from what I saw in the gallery [The Process of Single Siblings Becoming a Couple.jpg], it had to be like that.

Otherwise, wouldn’t I just be a sexual harasser for fondling Poporing’s breasts for an hour without any reason?

“That’s a relief then. So, when do you need to vacate the shop?”

I poured water from the kettle on the counter and handed it to Poporing.

“Huh?…Th..thank you…That…that…”

After gulping down the water, light returned to Poporing’s eyes.

“By the day after tomorrow…we…we have to…empty it…by then…if not…they’ll…just…throw everything away…ugh!”

“…Day after tomorrow?”

It was a complete disaster.

Even though Poporing’s shop wasn’t that large, it was still a shop.

There would be much more stuff than in an average household.

Swipe—

“All this needs to be cleared out by the day after tomorrow…”

“Yes…ugh!”

Even just glancing around, it was clear Poporing alone couldn’t clear everything by then.

Shaking my head, I sighed deeply.

“Haah… Alright. I’ll help with moving the stuff.”

“Huh…really?…Is Ian…oppa going to help?”

“Yes. Where’s your home?”

“Ah… that… that… ugh!”

When I asked for the address, Poporing spoke again with a voice mixed with tears.

“…I…don’t have one.”

“What do you mean you don’t have one?”

“…I…don’t have a home.”

“…No home?”

“Yes…ugh!..I don’t have one…”

“You had one.”

“Yes… but…ugh…now there isn’t…it’s just…gone.”

“…Poporing, what does that mean?”

With the continued questions, Poporing couldn’t hold back her tears anymore and started crying.

“…Ugh…!..I…can’t say!!…If I say…!…Ugh!…Ian…oppa…will hit me again…ugh!”

“….”

That was a bit unfair.

While I believed in gender equality, my fists didn’t discriminate based on gender if they needed to be swung, but that didn’t mean I hit just anyone.

“I won’t hit you, Poporing.”

“Re…really?…Really…won’t hit me?…ugh…”

“Yes, really won’t hit you. I promise. So, tell me.”

Only after I linked my pinky finger did Poporing finally speak up.

“…Ugh!…That…that…this month’s…rent…all…I put into stocks…!…But!..Yesterday…the landlady…said…the deposit…was gone long ago…told me to pay this month’s rent…she was yelling…!”

“….”

“…Ugh!…When I asked for a few days…she said no!…So…I got angry…ugh!!…At that time!…it really went up to 240 million…Eris…so I yelled I’d leave this damn house right away…!!…Then…really…emptied the room!!”

Bang-!

“Ha!”

I clearly promised not to hit her, but like a star pulled by immense gravity, Poporing’s idiocy was so strong that my hand moved before I could stop it.

“Taeeng!! I…Ian…oppa…hit me again!…Ugh…!!…You promised…not to hit me!!…Ugh!!”

“Sorry, Poporing, I’m really sorry.”

“Ugh!..Even with the pinky promise…Ian…oppa is…a…liar!…Ugh!!”

I sincerely apologized to Poporing.

Honestly, the women around me were so outstanding that it might seem like that, but upon closer thought, Poporing was above average.

‘…Or is she really above average?’

Seeing Poporing managing a shop at such a young age was impressive, but losing everything like that was definitely not sane.

“Ugh…!!…I…trusted you!!…I trusted Ian oppa!!.Ugh…!…My…my life…is…over now!..Ugh!”

Even though it was self-inflicted, seeing her cry pitifully made me sigh.

‘Really can’t let her go homeless.’

Look at Poporing’s T-shirt, soaked with sweat and sticking to her skin.

And to make matters worse, she was wearing a white T-shirt, clearly showing her inverted nipples.

How could you let someone like her be homeless?

“Tsk, not even wearing a bra.”

“Ugh…? Ugh…? The…the bra…earlier…Ian…oppa…took it off…”

“That’s not really important.”

I asserted this while stuffing the bra that still had Poporing’s scent into my pocket.

Who cared who took off the bra?

What’s important was that Poporing was so damn cute!

“Ugh…!!…Ugh!!”

Healthy brown skin, disproportionately large breasts for her small frame, a personality that bursts into tears when pushed but can’t say no…

There wasn’t a single unappealing part.

‘Hmm, it would be very dangerous for someone as cute as Poporing to sleep outside…’

Even the princess was raped in this terrifying world.

Having Poporing sleep outside in such a world would be more dangerous than throwing a rabbit into a den of hungry lions.

‘…Really, there’s no other choice.’

So, as her ‘older brother’ and ‘investor’, this was an unavoidable decision.

“Poporing.”

“…Ugh!….Yes…Ian…oppa.”

“Pack your things. There’s no time if we want to clear everything out by the day after tomorrow.”

“Ugh?…B…but…ugh…there’s…no place…to put the stuff!”

“You can stay at my place for a while, so pack your things.”

Upon hearing this, Poporing’s eyes widened.

“Huh?…R…really?…Can I…really…do that…Ian oppa?”

“You said you have nowhere to go. Do you have any other place to stay?”

“Ugh…Well…not really…”

“Then, let’s head to my place.”

“Th…thank you…thank you!”

Honestly, I wasn’t sure if this was okay, but one thing was certain: if Evelyn found out, there’d be hell to pay.

‘Then, I just won’t get caught.’

I planned not to let Evelyn into the house for a while as I packed her things.

---

Shhh-

Poporing, covered in shampoo foam, felt her heart beating wildly.

Naturally, because it was the shampoo Ian oppa used, it smelled like him.

‘…Is this for real?’

Just this morning, she was pondering where to sleep like a vagrant, yet she never imagined she’d end up living with Ian oppa.

She pinched her cheeks several times, thinking it might be a dream, but it was indeed reality.

Squeak-

A little later, after finishing her shower, Poporing came out with a towel wrapped around her head.

“Did you finish washing?”

“Yes…yes!…I’ve washed…th..thank you! Ian…oppa…”

“Good, must be tired, right? You can sleep in the bed. I’ll sleep on the sofa over there.”

“No, no…!…Ian…oppa should…sleep in the bed…”

“It’s fine. We have to move stuff early tomorrow morning, so get some rest.”

With those words, Ian put his hands in his pockets and entered the bathroom.

“…Ugh?..Really…in the bed?”

Look around- Look around-

Even though she knew no one was there, Poporing checked her surroundings by turning her head rapidly before jumping into the bed.

“Ugh!…Sniff…!”

Of course, the bed smelled strongly of Ian oppa.

‘Uh…Hehe…!♥ This…feels like…being hugged by Ian…oppa…!♥’

With her face buried in the pillow, Poporing’s mouth stretched into a wide grin as she rubbed her face against it.

‘Ah! Wait a minute…!’

After rubbing around for a while, Poporing, as if remembering something, opened the gallery and started writing a post.
