Baek Seol-ah (2)

“……I could've just gone downtown and gotten a motel, you know.”

After parting with Lee Hyunseong, Baek Seol-ah and I headed to Room 901 in the Cheongun Academy student dormitory—in other words, my private room.

If you were worried about being seen by others, I wouldn't have minded going downtown and getting a room as I said.

But Baek Seol-ah seemed to think even that would be a waste of time, and led me straight into the dormitory.

Naturally, since it was my room, this was the boys' dormitory.

But after asking only which room it was, Baek Seol-ah went ahead of me and arrived at Room 901. And what that meant was…

“Baek Seolgi, you've been in the boys' dormitory more than once, haven't you?”

“……”

It meant that Baek Seol-ah was in the habit of coming and going through this boys' dormitory to meet someone.

When I asked with a sly grin, she stopped in front of my bedroom and turned a sharp look on me.

“What are you…… trying to say?”

“No, nothing. Just.”

Her expression was uncomfortable, as if merely being in the same room with me was an ordeal.

For some reason, I felt like I'd become a bad person tormenting a girl.

Of course, it was true that I'd spoken to her somewhat teasingly, but I hadn't dragged her here by force, had I?

There was no reason for her to look at me like that. If she wanted to complain, she should complain to Lee Hyunseong.

So I lightly shrugged, approached her with a sly smile, and reached out a hand.

Baek Seol-ah stepped back warily, but in the end, she neither avoided nor stopped my index finger as it lightly brushed her cheek.

Remembering the feel of Baek Seol-ah's soft, supple cheek, I continued.

“I suddenly got curious. If you're willing to go this far along with your boyfriend's strange tastes, I wonder just how sexually depraved you are, Miss Baek Seol-ah, the top-ranked second-year student at Cheongun Academy.”

“……What? W-What are you talking about?”

At first, Baek Seol-ah looked as flustered as a blushing virgin at those words, but soon seemed to grasp their meaning, biting her lip and glaring at me.

She looked ready to tear me apart. Brimming with outrage, she pushed back against my words.

“Don't put it that way. Unlike you, I'm not promiscuous. I……. I only did this because Hyunseong was so desperately begging me.”

“Hmm……. Is that so?”

Of course, that angry reaction didn't last long either. Perhaps realizing her own situation, Baek Seol-ah soon dropped her head, her expression even more dejected.

It was hard for her to confidently insist she wasn't promiscuous when, one way or another, she'd come into a man's room despite not being his lover for the sake of netorase.

Perhaps she wasn't entirely incapable of seeing herself objectively, because she couldn't bring herself to passionately proclaim that she was completely pure.

I looked at her meaningfully, then took another large step forward.

“……Ngh……”

Naturally, Baek Seol-ah had even less room to escape. Backing up until her back touched the bedroom door, she reluctantly looked up at me with tears welling in her eyes.

“What are you doing?”

“……Huh, wh-what?”

“Move.”

With a playful smile on my lips, I lightly pushed her shoulder aside.

Then I threw open the bedroom door and walked past Baek Seol-ah into the room.

Had she thought I might pounce on her at any moment? Baek Seol-ah awkwardly turned to look at me, flustered and dazed as I casually sat down on the bed.

I pointed to the space beside me with my chin and said.

“Why don't you sit down first? Unless you're going to keep standing there and then run away saying you really can't go through with it.”

“……Wh-Who said I was running away……!”

I added a little provocation, and, true to form for a proud model student, she raised her eyes at me, apparently unable to stand being dismissed.

She hesitated for a moment, but soon forced herself to move, coming over and sitting beside me.

Plop-

And so Baek Seol-ah sat on the bed, keeping a distance of two or three handspans from me as her final line of resistance.

Of course, it was funny watching her constantly fidget with both hands, as if she still couldn't calm down completely.

I briefly considered reaching out and knocking her over, but soon changed my mind.

Naturally, Baek Seol-ah was an exceptionally beautiful woman.

This might be a sudden thing to say, but despite having lived a fairly promiscuous life, I'd say she was more physically attractive than any woman I'd ever held in my arms.

She wasn't the main heroine of a work of fiction for nothing.

To be honest, just having her in my bedroom was enough to send my arousal soaring.

I wanted to pounce on her then and there, taking advantage of Lee Hyunseong's bizarre sexual tastes, but.

“Hey, Baek Seolgi.”

“……What, what is it?”

For the very last time—truly, the very last time—I decided to give the girl sitting beside me one last chance.

I planted both hands on the bedsheets, tilted my head slightly toward her, and said.

“If you really don't want anything to do with me, and you're only sitting here because that bastard Lee Hyunseong kept pestering you until you had no choice, tell me now.”

“……What, huh? What are you suddenly talking about?”

“I'll let you go. If you really don't want to do it, I won't force you. As for Lee Hyunseong, well, I'll tell him you weren't willing, so I sent you back.”

If you want to leave, you can. When I glanced toward the door to convey that meaning, Baek Seol-ah looked back and forth between me and the door, looking even more bewildered herself.

Her eyes seemed to ask, ‘Really?’ I shrugged and added.

“There's no fun in forcing myself on a girl who doesn't want it. It kind of feels like I'd be doing something wrong, too.”

“……Han Taeyang, you……”

“I mean it. If you're going to leave, go. Don't do something you'll regret later for no reason, idiot.”

For the entire year I'd spent at Cheongun Academy, I'd almost always treated Baek Seol-ah in a teasing, irritating, or downright inconsiderate manner.

That had all been an act, a mask I wore because I didn't want to get entangled with her later for no reason.

It wasn't that I disliked women. Naturally, I did want to hold Baek Seol-ah in my arms.

Even so, I wasn't some beast consumed by lust, capable of forcing myself on a girl who said she didn't want it.

I flopped down on the bed and stopped looking at Baek Seol-ah altogether. I merely took out my smartphone and fiddled with it, waving her toward the door.

“Baek Seolgi, Baek Seolgi. Go while I'm letting you. Before I change my mind.”

“……”

To be honest, it was also true that after spending an unwanted school life in this world for a year, I'd grown rather attached to Baek Seol-ah.

Baek Seol-ah would have found it absurd if she knew I thought this way after constantly tormenting her, but I'd read the original work this world was based on.

Either way, Baek Seol-ah had been a heroine in the story, and naturally, I'd been fond of her too.

I had been dumbfounded when the idiotic author suddenly pulled an NTR swerve in Part Two, but.

What crime had the characters committed?

Especially if it had become reality.

‘I wonder if there's some female upperclassman I could call…….’

It was also true that bringing Baek Seol-ah all the way to my room had gotten me a little worked up, and I was worried that the resulting lust would be left smoldering.

So I was scrolling through my smartphone contacts, looking for one of the female upperclassmen with whom I'd occasionally had a no-strings-attached one-night fling over the past year.

“……You do.”

“Huh?”

At the tiny voice that came from Baek Seol-ah, who had kept silent until now, I blinked and turned toward her.

Since this was my place, I did so rather rudely, merely tilting my head to meet her eyes.

Baek Seol-ah looked at me with an unusually softened expression, all her hostility gone, and spoke with a wry smile.

“You're surprising, Han Taeyang. I never knew you were capable of considering other people. I see you in a new light.”

“……”

Freeze-

I brought the hand that had been fiddling with my smartphone to a complete stop.

Then I broke into a profuse cold sweat.

Was the problem that this was clearly different from the way I'd acted until now? For Baek Seol-ah, who had always hounded me relentlessly, her expression had softened considerably.

But whether I reacted or not, Baek Seol-ah let out a relieved sigh as if she'd made up her mind, then abruptly brought her hand to her shirt.

Tap, tap-

“H-Hey. What are you doing?”

Then, utterly nonchalantly, she did something that left me completely flustered.

In other words, she began undoing the buttons of her school uniform shirt one by one.

I flinched, my eyes widening at Baek Seol-ah's pale bare skin as it slowly began to show.

Baek Seol-ah herself merely answered more calmly than I did, with an air that seemed faintly resigned.

“What am I doing? Taking off my clothes. This is what I came to your room for, isn't it?”

“That's not what I'm asking.”

When I replied with a frown, she flashed me one of the pretty smiles she almost never showed me, her eyes crinkling.

“Why? Are you scared now? Now that I'm really about to do something like that with you?”

“……No, hey!”

“Just like a moment ago. You're full of surprises today. You're getting flustered too, which isn't like you.”

There wasn't even time to stop her. After casually undoing every button, Baek Seol-ah shrugged off her shirt and brought her hands to the back of her head.

With her pale upper body, wearing only a bra, fully exposed before me, she even untied the ribbon holding her white hair in a ponytail.

Then she muttered bitterly.

“We've come this far. What's the point of backing out now? I even promised Hyunseong I'd do that netorase thing for him at least once. I can't run away.”

“……Baek Seolgi, are you seriously crazy? You're really going to sleep with me? With me, the guy you hated so much?”

Despite my incredulous follow-up question, Baek Seol-ah gazed steadily at me and spoke.

“It seems there's been a misunderstanding, Han Taeyang.”

And she said it in an extraordinarily matter-of-fact tone.

Calmly, as if she were telling me the truth.

“I dislike you, but it's not as though I hate you so horribly that I can't even associate with you……. To be honest, I've never once thought that way.”

“……What……?”

It was the kind of sentence that truly turned my mind blank.

Had I heard wrong? I froze, staring blankly for a moment.

“What are you doing……? Hurry up and take yours off, too. It's more embarrassing than you'd think to be the only one standing around in her underwear.”

Baek Seol-ah blushed like a bashful girl, rose to her feet, and took out her smartphone.

Then she opened the camera app and set it on the nightstand opposite us, positioning it so the entire bed was in view.

As though she truly intended to film herself rolling around in bed with me and show it to her boyfriend.

And as though she truly had no intention of backing out now that she'd come this far, she reached for her uniform skirt as well.

Click…….

Baek Seol-ah finally undid the skirt's buckle, her face bright red as she skillfully slid the skirt down and off between her legs. Now both her upper and lower underwear were exposed.

She hesitated for a moment, squeezing her thighs together beneath the pure-white silk panties that matched her hair.

“I-I'll take yours off for you if you won't. We've come this far, and I can't just leave without properly doing what Hyunseong asked.”

Having decided the uniform she'd stripped off was a sunk cost, she issued that threat—and then even strode straight toward me as I sat frozen.

“……H-Huh?”

“Take it off. I said take it off. You've seen enough women's bodies, so why are you suddenly frozen like this?”

“H-Hey, hey. Baek Seolgi, no, wait.”

“It might sound strange coming from me, but do you think you get many chances to do anything naughty with me?”

Only then did I see it. The golden eyes of the girl kneeling on the bed and trying to straddle me were already spinning halfway out of control.

Indeed, Baek Seol-ah had already lost her senses, overcome by shame and a sense of obligation to the promise she'd made her boyfriend, and was trying to undress me.

Properly flustered, I flailed both hands, unable even to properly resist Baek Seol-ah's hands tugging at my shirt and pants─.

Whoosh!

“……Ah.”

……

At the moment Baek Seol-ah finally managed to pull off my pants despite my resistance, I was forced to realize that the situation had changed irrevocably.

Baek Seol-ah stared blankly for a moment, her eyes widening as she took in the bulge in my underwear.

Then, twitching the corners of her mouth, she spoke in an unusually playful tone.

“What the hell? You're properly aroused by my body.”

“……No, it's just that.”

“I thought maybe, unlike the rumors, there was something wrong with you down there. Guess that's not the case, huh?”

Now that things had come this far, there was no way to turn back.

Between a rock and a hard place, surrounded on all sides with nowhere to run.

Grab!

“……Huh!?”

Before long, Baek Seol-ah slipped her slender hand inside my underwear and grabbed my manhood, and I bit my lip as prickling stimulation spread over my entire body.

It had only touched my manhood, but that alone brought my erection to its limit.

“……Uh.”

Apparently, I wasn't the only one surprised by it. Baek Seol-ah, who had been pushing me around for a while, opened her eyes wide and stammered.

“Wh-What? This thing. Why is it so big……. It's much bigger than Hyunseong's……”

“……Ha……”

That was the turning point. Having held out as long as I could, I had no choice but to finally let go of my grip on reason.

……Gulp.

Baek Seol-ah, her face flushed red like a ripe persimmon, audibly swallowed.

The center of the white silk panties wrapped around her hips began to slowly darken with moisture.
