Calibrating the NTR Drift in the Light Novel - MTL

The evening before.

Yu-ri Lee returned home with her hands still on her cheeks, feeling her heart pounding.

"I'm here… "

On Yuri's return home, her older sister, who was lying down on the living room sofa in her underwear, watching TV, stuck out her head.

Her dyed brown hair was kept in a layered perm, and like her brother, she had long eyelashes, but unlike her brother, she had a mole around her mouth instead of under her eye.

Although her body was slightly less voluptuous than her younger sister's, objectively speaking, she was a beauty who could be said to belong to the very top class.

"Are you here? "I guess the student council president is busy since he's been here at this time since the first day of the semester~"

"Uh? Uh… "

"What? Why is he like that?"

Lee Yu-ri's older sister, Lee Yu-min, sensed that something was unusual about her younger sister's mood, so she got up and approached her younger brother.

"Why is your face so red? My eyes are blurry."

"Uh? Oh, nothing happened?"

"There is none. You've never made an expression like this before. Well, judging by this sister's incredible sixth sense… You're a man! Right!?"

Yu-ri Lee jumped up and pushed Lee Yu-min.

"Oh what, it's not like that?! "Get some clothes on!"

"Who is this? Who? Is this the guy you've been hanging out with for a long time? Who said that? "Backstroke?"

"Gong Young-bae! And it's not him! Hot… "

Lee Yu-ri made a mistake with her words, and Lee Yu-min's eyes lit up even more, and she clung to her younger brother even more.

"Oh my, look at him! Did you find another man? So what is Gong Young-bae? Enjoy? Did you know that my younger brother could also manage the fishery? You're an adult now! Who is the other man? Handsome? What kind of kid are you? Have you already done it?"

"Oh, it's not like that! And by the way, you think I'm your sister?! "I'm going to take a shower, so go away!"

Lee Yu-ri pushed her older sister away and went into her room and closed the door, while Lee Yu-min lay down on the sofa again and muttered.

"Sigh, Ji-unni ended up breaking with a guy, but her younger brother is the fisherman, and the world is so unfair. It's unfair."

…

After taking a shower and finishing dinner, Yu-ri Lee continued to feel the touch of Han Seong-jin's big, hard back linger on her cheek.

'It's crazy… I've never received anything like that from Youngbae… And with the best team in the academy… I guess I'm really crazy… '

Even if I tried hard to erase the memories from before, there was nothing I could do about the experience I felt.

Then, Lee Yu-ri's thoughts suddenly fell on Han Seong-jin's overflowing lunch box that he couldn't eat.

'Ah… Now that I think about it, he said it was his dinner and tomorrow morning… '

Han Seong-jin saved him by throwing away his food, even though it wasn't much.

No matter how much she hates this kind of bastards, Lee Yu-ri's conscience is pricked too much to accept such help and pretend not to notice.

Yuri Lee closed her eyes and stood up with a decision.

'Yes, it just gets rid of the debt! Otherwise, you'll just end up in trouble because you never know what he'll do using today's work as an excuse!'

Then she went to the kitchen and started making food, showing off her housekeeping skills to the fullest.

"It's really worthless. It's worthless."

While listening to her older sister Lee Yu-min muttering behind her.

________

"So you packed the lunch box yourself?"

"Yes, yes! It doesn't have any other meaning, so don't misunderstand it for any reason! "I just crumpled up the leftover food at home!"

To save money, I couldn't buy a new lunch box and had only eaten triangle gimbap for breakfast, so I was quite hungry.

At that time, Yu-ri Lee's lunch box was like a rope that came down from the sky.

When I opened the lid of the lunch box, a menu appeared with everything from steaming white rice, Vienna topped with ketchup, stir-fried anchovies, stir-fried kimchi, and egg rolls.

"Sniff. Mmm~ Smell~ Maybe it's because it's a lunch box made with love by our chairman, so the smell is special, right?"

"Who, who put affection in it! Is this just repayment for the debt I owed yesterday!? And class starts a little later, so why have I opened my lunch box already?"

"Just looking at it, it looks like it took a while to make, but you should eat it when it tastes best before it gets cold. And I'm hungry now because I only ate one piece of food."

I immediately picked up the spoon in the lunch box that Lee Yu-ri had packed and started eating the lunch box.

Yuri Lee's homemade lunch box was as delicious as it looked. Much better than a convenience store lunch box.

As I was forgetting my lunch box in the classroom before the first period even started, the students' attention was immediately focused on me.

It didn't matter to me, but Yuri Lee, who was leaning on the window frame next to my desk, lowered her head and didn't know what to do, as if she felt burdened by the gazes of her classmates.

In the end, I saved Yuri Lee once again.

"Hey, what are you guys looking at? Is this your first time seeing people eat? "I can't even eat because it's such a burden."

"Hehe… !"

When I spoke with a bit of force in my voice, the students turned their bodies again and looked desperately ahead.

After creating an atmosphere of fear among my classmates, Lee Yu-ri saw me calmly eating again and said something.

"Do you really have to scare me like that?"

"You to felt burdened by their gaze."

"Well, that's not it! You can speak a little more softly!"

"It doesn't suit me."

While Yuri let out a small sigh, I ate my lunch box as if I was hiding my eyes.

Yuri Lee's eyes widened when she saw the lunch box with not a single grain of rice left in it.

"Did you eat all of that?"

"I heard it goes down well because it's delicious. And in the first place, people eat these things out of the kindness of the person who made them."

"That… They say? Hmm, then give it to me now."

"Well, just leave it in your bag until after school? Then it smells bad and is hard to wash because it dries up. "I'll wash it properly and give it to you, so just leave it alone."

"You… "Washing the dishes?"

"Then you thought I couldn't even do that?"

"No, the question is not whether you can do it or not. It's the image that you wash dishes, or should I say it's very unexpected…"

At that time, the classroom door opened, and the homeroom teacher came in for the morning assembly.

"Now, is there anyone missing? Attendance from now on… Hmm? Sniff, wait a minute, what does that smell like? Who ate?"

The teacher wasn't about to conduct an inquiry, but instead sniffed her nose, as if she had smelled the lunch box I had just eaten.

"Who forgets their lunch box in the classroom, leaving it smelly in the morning? Who is it?"

"I ate it."

The penalty period for cleaning my classroom after school has been extended by 3 days.

________

As Lee Yu-ri sat down, the words of Han Seong-jin, who ate the lunch she had packed without leaving a single grain of rice behind, kept ringing in her head.

In the first place, people eat this kind of food out of gratitude to the person who made it.

'Youngbae… I've never finished eating my lunch box… '

Even when I was in elementary or secondary education, I packed lunches for Gong Young-bae a few times when we went on picnics or festivals.

However, Gong Young-bae never ate all of her lunch box.

There were various reasons, such as because my mouth was short, because my stomach was full, and because I was afraid of gaining weight unnecessarily.

Although she packed it for Gong Yeong-bae, she always saw the lunch box coming back with more than half left, and although she never showed it, she felt hurt inside.

Is my lunch box tasteless? Did I do something useless to Youngbae?

On the other hand, Han Seong-jin continued to say that her lunch box was very delicious.

In addition, they even made extremely common-sense remarks that seemed out of place, such as saying that it was hard to make it, and that it was polite to eat it all out of sincerity.

For the first time, Yuri saw her lunch box satisfying others.

Even though the target was Han Seong-jin, who had no answer, she felt satisfaction and joy welling up in a corner of her heart.

Even after eating everything, he was considerate of Lee Yu-ri until the end, saying that he would take care of all the troublesome cleanup and return it to her.

Have you ever received this kind of consideration from Gong Young-bae?

Yuri Lee stopped thinking because she was afraid she would end up making unnecessary comparisons.

'Let's not worry about strange things for no reason. Basically, it's different for each person. That guy isn't that good, and Youngbae isn't weird, huh.'

But there was no way to stop her heart from pounding.

Meanwhile, Gong Young-bae glanced at Yu-ri Lee while biting her fingernails.

Only one day had passed, but Lee Yu-ri's attitude toward Han Seong-jin had noticeably softened.

She was Lee Yu-ri, who was uncomfortable sharing the same space with people like Han Seong-jin, and she even brought her own lunch box for Han Seong-jin.

'Yuri…' That lunch box… You didn't bring it for me, did you? You've never packed a lunch for anyone but me… Why to such a bastard… '

Gong Young-bae held her head, denying reality.

'Well, I must have found a weakness. Otherwise, there's no way Yuri would do anything to that bastard he hates so much. We can talk slowly later.'

Gong Young-bae decided to talk to Yu-ri Lee around lunch and calmed her down.

I had no idea that it would make the relationship between them grow further apart.
