Ugh… I remember now. Though what happened after the candle went out is still fuzzy. Lin Yuxuan must’ve wished to become a girl—and I used my Superpower to make it happen…

Right, no problem there… my ass! That Superpower’s side effect is brutal. It slowly twists your deepest self into a real girl! Worst part? Fall for a guy, and even if you change back… you’re still gay. Stuck on life’s wrong path forever.

Gotta reverse this fast. If Mom finds out I turned my brother gay… she’ll kill me.

I squeezed my eyes shut, searching my mind for that power… Maybe I should just stop him from falling for anyone.

Last night’s alcohol had eaten away at my brain—and I’d used the ability then too. Now, that power was corroded. Not gone forever, but absolutely unusable for at least a month.

Just as I scrambled for a solution, my brother—no, *sister*—suddenly pounced on me.

“Broooother~ I still waaant to sleep~ It’s vacation today… Broooother~ I’m sleepy~”

She kept putting on her most adorable act. Damn… the side effects were already hitting hard.

Crushed under my sister’s demands, I didn’t escape bed until noon.

At breakfast—which was really lunch—I ate alone. Didn’t look at her. Didn’t speak.

“Brother~ Did I do something wrong?” She blinked those big eyes, her voice small and sweet.

I sighed. “Yuxuan… don’t you feel *anything* about suddenly becoming a girl?”

“Of course! My chest feels heavier. I’m weaker. And… well, I’m missing some parts.”

“*Mentally!* Emotionally! Aren’t you upset? Resentful?”

“Not at all! Being a girl is awesome! Cute clothes, cute stuff… and acting adorable makes everyone forgive you~ It’s perfect!”

I was too furious to speak. I lightly tapped her forehead. “What about your old friends? School? When Mom and Dad get back?”

“Hmm… I hadn’t thought that far. But I turned into a girl overnight—they’ll understand, right?”

*Understand?* Mom knows about my Superpower. She’ll blame me instantly. Thank god they’re on a month-long business trip. Enough time for my power to recover.

“Yuxuan, listen carefully. I’ll handle school transfers before our parents return. No big deal. But you must promise me one thing.”

She nodded eagerly. “Okay! Whatever you say, Brother!”

“First—your name. From now on, you’re Lin Yuxuan. *Yu* like rain, *xuan* like the daylily flower. Same pronunciation. Easy to remember.”

Stars sparked in her eyes as she beamed at me. “Lin Yuxuan? The name my brother gave me is so pretty!”

Ignoring her gaze, I pressed on. “Second—you stay in your room this afternoon. I’ll buy clothes and sort out your enrollment… Which class do you want?”

Without hesitation, she chirped: “Wherever Brother is! I want to be in your class!”
