Chapter 16
When Sophia was young, she nearly died after encountering a monster by chance during one of her curious excursions outside the village. Seeing Siwoo appear before her like a knight from a novel and save her, she fell in love with him at first sight.
Sophia felt that Siwoo was her destiny.
And Siwoo felt the same.
When Siwoo saw Sophia standing proudly before a monster larger than herself to protect a child smaller than her, despite her trembling legs and tear-filled eyes, he fell in love with her at first sight as she smiled and promised to protect the child.
From that day on, the two stayed together like two halves of a single body, always together wherever they went in the village.
Siwoo was always happy when he was with Sophia, and Sophia always felt safe when she was beside Siwoo.
Seeing the two of them like that, the villagers watched them with fond smiles, and their village friends had no choice but to set aside their feelings for the two of them.
But at some point, Siwoo changed.
From the day the chief of the neighboring village came to visit, Siwoo spent less and less time looking for Sophia.
Instead of playing with Sophia, Siwoo began training with a sword.
That side of Siwoo appealed to Sophia too.
Though he spent less time playing with her, he looked cool swinging his sword while engrossed in training.
But as the days went by, Siwoo spent more and more time training.
He no longer played with Sophia even after his training was over.
Instead, Siwoo began sparring with the village watchmen.
The wounds Siwoo accumulated each day broke Sophia's heart.
When she asked why he trained so hard, Siwoo didn't answer.
Rather, he sparred with increasingly stronger people and kept adding to his injuries.
That sight made Sophia deeply uneasy.
Eventually, Siwoo defeated even the captain of the village watch and ended his sparring sessions.
Yet even then, Siwoo never put down his sword.
Sophia began to feel that she had lost Siwoo to the sword.
It wounded her pride that he kept holding his sword instead of playing with her.
Angry, she pestered Siwoo to play with her, but he remained cold.
Even when she brought him a packed lunch or asked him on a date, Siwoo thought only of his sword.
Sophia slowly began to crumble.
The thought of not being loved by the person she loved made her self-esteem sink day by day.
That was when she met Deokbae.
When her parents told her to treat someone she'd just met like family, Sophia felt reluctant.
Despite his attractive appearance, something about him made her uneasy.
But perhaps that had only been her imagination, because Deokbae was a very good person.
He was always kind and considerate, and cooked delicious meals for her every day.
Whenever she was depressed because of Siwoo, he always comforted her like a real older brother.
Whenever Deokbae comforted her, Sophia quickly regained her spirits.
From then on, Sophia, who had been gradually losing her smile, began smiling again.
With Deokbae's help, her relationship with Siwoo also grew closer.
Even when she saw Siwoo focused solely on training, she no longer felt anxious or impatient.
She was happy just watching him.
Though it still hurt that he refused to accept her invitations for dates,
she was happy whenever Siwoo occasionally smiled at her.
Yet
now…
Whenever Sophia looked at Siwoo, she thought of Deokbae.
More precisely, she thought of Deokbae's cock.
As big as her face and as thick as her forearm,
that unbelievably lewd sight…
kept coming to mind.
====
Sophia's panties were wet.
The dampness in her lower body made her feel unpleasant.
Even by her own reckoning, Sophia had become unbelievably lewd.
Even by her own reckoning, she found herself utterly disgusting.
She felt self-loathing at the sight of herself leaking arousal while thinking of Deokbae's cock with Siwoo right in front of her.
She felt terribly sorry for Siwoo.
But the more guilty she felt toward Siwoo, the wetter her panties became.
She felt self-loathing again.
In the end, this vicious cycle that arose whenever she saw Siwoo led Sophia to seek out Deokbae.
She had avoided him for several days, but she couldn't hold back any longer.
As always, Deokbae welcomed her warmly.
The sight reassured her, yet also left her feeling dejected.
‘…Does Oppa not feel anything…?’
When Sophia stood there fidgeting, Deokbae came over, hugged her, and stroked her hair.
He was the same old Deokbae.
But Sophia was no longer the same old Sophia.
Strangely, that alone did not calm her.
Indeed, what she needed was Deokbae's cock.
So
she…
decided to follow her instincts.
====
She touched his cock.
She sucked it.
She swallowed his semen.
Once she acted on her instincts, she felt blissfully happy.
She adored Deokbae as he climaxed from her hands and tongue.
She also liked that, unable to hold himself back, he would surreptitiously touch her body.
Her self-esteem, lowered by Siwoo, began to rise again.
====
Recently, Deokbae had been touching Sophia's body more often.
At first, he would secretly touch her little by little, careful not to be noticed,
but now he openly fondled her breasts, touched her buttocks, or put his hand on her pussy.
Every time Deokbae touched her, Sophia felt fulfilled as a woman.
She was gratified to know that Deokbae was completely infatuated with her.
Moreover, when Deokbae touched her, she felt a different sort of pleasure than when she touched his cock.
The pleasure was so intense that if she let her guard down, she could lose consciousness right then and there.
That was why Sophia was afraid.
She feared that if he kept touching her like this, she might eventually give herself to him…
It wasn't that Sophia disliked Deokbae.
If anything, she liked him.
But… Siwoo still held a place in Sophia's heart.
She felt that if she crossed that line before sorting through her complicated feelings, something would go terribly wrong. …It felt as though something inside her would break.
Not knowing how Sophia felt, Deokbae put his hands on her body again today.
“Sophie… Can I touch you? Hmm?”
Deokbae touched Sophia's nipple and whispered softly in her ear.
As he hugged Sophia from behind, he slipped a hand naturally beneath her clothes and began fondling her breasts.
“D-don’t! And ahh… You’re already touching me anywayyy…!”
Though Sophia said not to, she didn't resist.
Rather, she moved her hips, rubbing her butt against Deokbae's erect cock.
“But whenever you feel like you’re going to come, Sophie, you keep running away.”
“But… haa… that's something people in love do with each other….”
Sophia placed her hand over Deokbae's to pull it away.
But instead of removing his hand, she stroked it and fondled her breasts together with him.
“But it’s okay for you to suck my cock every morning?”
“Th-that’s different! This is… this is something else…”
When Sophia gave her usual excuse, Deokbae went quiet.
He continued holding her breast, but stopped fondling it.
“…Oppa?”
Deokbae took his hand away from her breast, then wrapped both arms tightly around her.
Sophia's body nestled into Deokbae's embrace.
Feeling his solid body against her, Sophia trembled.
“O-Oppa…?”
Deokbae didn't let Sophia go.
She heard Deokbae's ragged breathing beside her ear.
Gulp. Sophia swallowed dryly.
“I love you, Sophia…
Deokbae's unexpected confession left Sophia dazed.
Then tears welled up in her eyes.
She tried to hold them back, but she couldn't.
Her heart began to pound, and her hands and feet trembled.
Her first thought was that it was a relief her love was reciprocated.
Before long, she began to think that she loved him even more.
She grabbed Deokbae's arms as they held her.
Her head and heart were filled with Deokbae.
She tried to tell him that she loved him too.
“It’s… a lie… You’re just saying that, right? And you… you’re involved with Mom, aren’t you…”
But different words came out instead.
Sophia had been unable to stop worrying about Deokbae's relationship with her mother.
“What? No, not at all. That’s not it. Auntie and I only have a physical… sort of relationship.”
“You don’t want that kind of relationship with me too, do you? Did you tell Mom you loved her? You’re doing the same thing to me now that you did with Mom, aren’t you?!”
Thinking of her mother made Sophia anxious.
Her self-esteem, which had risen, cracked again.
Consumed by that anxiety, Sophia shouted sharply at Deokbae.
“That’s not it at all, Sophia… You’re the only one for me. Believe me.”
Deokbae held Sophia even tighter and then, in a gentler voice than usual,
whispered in her ear.
But Sophia
“I’m sorry… I don’t know… I…”
ran away from the spot.
Deokbae could do nothing but watch Sophia run away.
