Chapter 46
“……Bweh, hwee.”
Baek Seol-ah pulled Han Taeyang by the nape and kissed him nonchalantly, blinking her hazy eyes.
No, in truth, it wasn't all that nonchalant.
She had merely pretended to be indifferent; inside, her heart was pounding exceptionally hard.
At this moment, she was recalling a bygone memory she could never forget, though she didn't know exactly when it had been.
……When had it been? When she had first pressed her lips to Lee Hyeonseong's.
She didn't remember all the details of that period, but the emotions she had felt then remained vivid.
Embarrassed and self-conscious. Shy yet ticklish. And filled with the most complete happiness.
Lee Hyeonseong had been just as flustered and helpless over that impossibly sweet first kiss.
Baek Seol-ah still remembered. At that moment, less than ten seconds after they had awkwardly mingled tongues, Lee Hyeonseong's crotch had begun to bulge.
She remembered giggling at how ridiculous it was, while also finding its fresh awkwardness adorable.
“Hng……. Hweh.”
But the person whose lips were pressed against Baek Seol-ah's at this moment wasn't Lee Hyeonseong.
It was Han Taeyang—the last person she would have thought of, much less imagined, back then.
Baek Seol-ah spread her legs enough to make penetration easy for Han Taeyang, then closed both eyes again and this time let him kiss her instead.
Whatever his intention or state of mind, Han Taeyang, who had wanted her to kiss him first just moments ago, apparently found that one time sufficient.
“Smooch, mmm, bweh.”
Soon, the lewd sound of the two people's saliva tangling stickily rang out across the bed.
In addition, Han Taeyang's condom-covered member was already pressed against Baek Seol-ah's vulva.
Baek Seol-ah swallowed dryly at that virile cock, whose length and girth were impossible not to compare to Lee Hyeonseong's.
Along with the man's saliva, delivered by Han Taeyang's tongue after it had explored and withdrawn from her mouth.
‘……It's not like this is my first time seeing it, so why does my lower abdomen tremble every time I see his…….’
Inwardly, she recited to herself a line that would have made Lee Hyeonseong weep and marvel if he had heard it.
Even though she had already taken it once, and had serviced him with handjobs and blowjobs several times.
She couldn't understand how she could still be this unaccustomed to it. Was it because it was that big? Or because she still hadn't had it inside her enough to become accustomed to it compared to Lee Hyeonseong's……?
“……Hng, ah.”
Squelch-
It was around then. Feeling Han Taeyang's cock, which had until then merely been touching her, finally pushing inside her, Baek Seol-ah let out a moan almost like an automatic reflex.
It was already filled with a female's coquettishness and coyness, but even that was only the beginning.
“Kkheut?! Hweuk……!”
Before long, when Han Taeyang's member pushed in with a ‘firm squeeze!’ and burrowed deeply into her vagina, Baek Seol-ah had no choice but to jerk her head back with a truly erotic expression.
To repeat, it was something she had taken once long ago. She remembered vividly the man's presence that had filled her belly back then.
‘Wh-what, it feels a little different…….’
But the intensely concentrated physical pleasure that seemed to surge in faster than before made Baek Seol-ah's eyes tremble rapidly.
It wasn't as if there were no differences. She had drunk alcohol today, so heat had already spread through her whole body. That surely had an effect too.
Or perhaps, unlike then, they had progressed as far as kissing today, adding romantic excitement.
She wanted to deny this if possible─.
‘……Ah, no. This feels too good.’
This pleasure was far too powerful to withstand through fidelity to Lee Hyeonseong.
In the first place, when it came to bedroom matters, Han Taeyang overwhelmingly surpassed Lee Hyeonseong in every respect.
It had already been difficult to preserve her inner fidelity and keep repeating that to herself, and today another element had been added.
She could deceive others, but not her own heart. Baek Seol-ah felt that truth keenly.
Whump!
“Hk, hyaa, ah! Nng…….”
Soon, clenching the cock deep inside her with her vaginal walls as though biting it, Baek Seol-ah repeatedly exhaled hot, breathy gasps.
Yes. There was no denying it. There was not a single thing about what had happened today that Baek Seol-ah could deny.
She had already acknowledged the pleasure of sex. Han Taeyang was truly good at handling a woman's body.
She could certainly admit that he surpassed Lee Hyeonseong in that regard, so ultimately that was a secondary matter.
What she truly needed to face today was the kiss, not the sex.
It was the kiss, rather than intercourse.
If she had genuinely hated it, she would have pushed Han Taeyang away the instant he suddenly kissed her.
She might even have kicked him……. In any case, she would have expressed her displeasure much more decisively than usual.
But reality wasn't like that. Baek Seol-ah's response had been neither a firm refusal nor a timid protest.
It had merely been docile acceptance.
Aside from the momentary surprise she had honestly felt, she hadn't felt particularly displeased.
In other words, she had ultimately felt good.
‘What a crazy bitch, what a crazy biiitch.’
Baek Seol-ah reluctantly accepted that painful fact she desperately wanted to turn away from. Was this what it felt like to swallow poison that was somehow good for the body?
In truth, she didn't really know. By now, she found it difficult even to tell whether this was poison or medicine.
Her face was so red it looked ready to burst at the slightest touch, and the breaths escaping her mouth had already turned so lewd they were nearly moans.
In that state, Baek Seol-ah had no choice but to admit that she had practically achieved the purpose that had prompted her to start today's date.
Exactly what were the feelings she held for Han Taeyang?
What on earth did she think of Han Taeyang?
And if that ominous premonition was correct, was the magnitude of the ‘feelings’ she held for him truly comparable to what she felt for Lee Hyeonseong……?
She could say that she still hadn't found the answer to at least the final question.
But what about the first two?
Baek Seol-ah squeezed her eyes shut.
‘……I.’
With most of her drunkenness already faded, she couldn't blame alcohol either. She had no room left for excuses.
Lee Hyeonseong had allowed it, or she had only kissed Han Taeyang because it was what he wanted……?
All of that was nothing but cowardly excuses. Baek Seol-ah had been the one to bring up kissing first, and Lee Hyeonseong had merely expressed his fervent agreement.
And even if Lee Hyeonseong had asked her to kiss him, if her heart had opposed it, she would have reacted somehow the moment their lips met.
Whether by frowning, feeling uneasy inside, or simply having her excited mood collapse.
If she had disliked Han Taeyang, then her boyfriend's request or no, her honest reaction would have burst out.
‘……I, Han Taeyang…….’
Since she had actively reciprocated his kiss, there was now nowhere left to run and no way to rationalize it.
Her only remaining choice was to accept the truth.
If it had only been sex, she could have said she couldn't help it because it felt good, but once she had happily accepted even the kiss, the game was already over.
It was no longer possible to make the excuse that only her body had strayed while her heart still belonged to Lee Hyeonseong.
“Hek, hng…….”
In addition to physical pleasure, Baek Seol-ah gently twitched one corner of her mouth as she savored a thrilling sense of forbidden pleasure that hurt her conscience.
And in that state, she looked up at the man who had put his cock inside her with indescribable tenderness and thought.
‘Han Taeyang……. Han Taeyang, hng, ah. Han Taeyang, Han Taeyang, Han Taeyang, Han Taeyang, Han Taeyang, Han Taeyang…….’
Perhaps she was truly only a short step away from falling for this man.
Or perhaps she'd already gone beyond even that.
Maybe she already had──.
*****
Creak, creak…….
“……Tch, whew.”
Hearing the bed frame slowly creak, I lightly tugged at the adorable little roll of belly fat sticking out at Baek Seol-ah's side.
She was basically extremely slender, but given the position she was in, it was impossible for her flesh not to fold. Fortunately for me.
“Hk, heeey. Wh-what are you doing…….”
“……Can't you tell? I'm touching your belly.”
“Hng, that's not what I was asking.”
Baek Seol-ah raised both arms to cover her face, peeking only her eyes out to glare daggers at me.
She still seemed full of displeasure, as though she didn't particularly like me kneading her belly fat.
Still, the fact that she made no direct attempt to stop me, such as swatting my hand away, was considerable progress.
I nonchalantly kneaded Baek Seol-ah's belly with both hands and pulled my lips away once more.
“Baek Seol-ah.”
“……Ugh, whaaat.”
Since we'd kept up the piston-like thrusts for quite a while, I opened my mouth partly to calm my urge to ejaculate somewhat.
And also because I wanted to prod at something that had been bothering me.
I looked straight at Baek Seol-ah, who for some reason was glaring at me with considerable displeasure, and spoke.
“Why are you so quiet today? Normally, you'd have said something by now.”
“……Whaaat?”
That was because her attitude seemed especially docile today. Her face still reddened from the constant stimulation, and the moans spilling out of her hadn't changed, but.
It also seemed as though she was deliberately trying not to look at me, or perhaps trying to hold back the intensifying cries she wanted to make.
‘She seems kind of unable to focus.’
There was no conclusive proof, but there were several subtle circumstantial clues.
That was why I asked Baek Seol-ah directly instead of circling around the subject.
“No, what are you suddenly talking about…….”
Baek Seol-ah lowered the arms she'd been using to cover her face, leaving her armpits exposed to me.
Then, seemingly about to retort at me as I secretly smacked my lips and swallowed my disappointment, she—
……
“Baek Seol-ah?”
Had she changed her mind midway? She closed the mouth she had half-opened, thought about something for a moment, then let out a strangely resigned sigh.
“Haa……. You really are too perceptive for your own good.”
“What the hell?”
From my perspective, it was a rather absurd reaction. But whether I let out a hollow laugh or not, Baek Seol-ah didn't care and merely twitched her eyebrows slightly.
Her reaction made it seem as though her feelings were a little more complicated than I'd expected. Even I had to pause around then, and she soon added.
“It's nothing. I just have something to think about on my own. I guess it showed on my face…….”
I tilted my head slightly and asked in return.
“Something to think about? What is it?”
But.
“Yeah. I'm not telling you.”
“What?”
Baek Seol-ah cut off my question with a single blunt refusal. She let out a small laugh and raised her middle finger at me, wearing a somehow more affectionate expression than usual.
……I wasn't sure whether the expression ‘affectionate’ and flipping someone off could really coexist, but that was how it felt.
She snickered with an expression that somehow seemed both pleased and displeased.
“You think I'm going to tell you? It's because of you. I'm already feeling conflicted, so don't make things harder for me for no reason and just do your job. You're just a human dildo…….”
“……Huh?”
“Yeah, hng. Just fuck me well. I'll get emotional comfort from my boyfriend myself.”
“……”
On top of that, she added words so spiteful and irritating that they seemed faintly out of place compared to her usual self.
Rather than feeling particularly offended by the remark, I only found my questions multiplying and tilted my head.
‘Why is this bitch acting up all of a sudden?’
Even though up until a moment ago she'd been happily receiving my service and moaning as though she would die from pleasure when I penetrated her.
Why was she acting prickly now?
As if that weren't enough, she had deliberately brought up Lee Hyeonseong as well, with a look that seemed to carry a clear purpose.
I honestly didn't know whether she meant to provoke me with it.
‘It doesn't really bother me anyway.’
If that was her intention, she had judged wrong. Would I really be offended by that at this point?
In the first place, I had never once thought I could take Lee Hyeonseong's role.
That was still true now, even though I had resolved to take Baek Seol-ah away more decisively and make her my woman.
Lee Hyeonseong had his own style, and I had mine, didn't I?
Even if I successfully stole Baek Seol-ah away, that part wouldn't change.
I would treat Baek Seol-ah only in my own way.
Besides, once I'd decided to walk a different path from the Han Taeyang in the original, there could be no coercion of any kind in the process of taking her away.
Naturally, that meant an increase in the effort and time required to win her over was unavoidable.
To be blunt, I couldn't even guarantee that I'd succeed with a hundred-percent certainty…….
Anyway.
I wasn't so impatient that I couldn't stand watching Baek Seol-ah act lovey-dovey with Lee Hyeonseong all this time, so this truly didn't bother me at all.
……You're not offended?”
“?”
Something truly absurd happened next. When I merely answered calmly for those reasons, Baek Seol-ah, in turn, began watching my reaction.
She fidgeted with her fingertips and glanced at me, perhaps because she didn't feel at ease after saying it herself.
‘Well, look at her.’
I twitched the corner of my mouth and considered pretending to be offended for just a moment.
“……Well, I'm not particularly offended.”
I decided to answer her honestly instead.
I raised a hand and gently stroked Baek Seol-ah's sweaty, snow-white hair.
“I am a little curious, though. Why did my cute sex partner suddenly get so sulky again?”
“……Hng, I'm not sulking…….”
“What do you mean, you're not? It's written all over your face.”
I let out a chuckle and once again playfully tousled Baek Seol-ah's hair into a mess.
Baek Seol-ah let out a brief “Ow!” and hurriedly clutched the crown of her head.
I quickly withdrew my hand in case she hit me and said with a smug, teasing grin.
“Baek Seolgi, I know you don't particularly like me, but do you really think the phrase ‘sexual attachment’ exists for no reason?”
“W-what?”
“Honestly, I think we've definitely gotten closer compared to last year. At least enough to share petty worries in bed.”
“……”
Baek Seol-ah, who had been guarding her bangs and watching me warily, pressed her lips tightly together around then.
A clear conflict surfaced in her eyes, and I added a few words at the right moment.
“I'm not forcing you, but you said it was because of me earlier, right? If I did something wrong, tell me honestly. If it's something I should apologize for, I'll apologize.”
“……No!”
“Hmm?”
That point, at least, got an immediate answer. The moment I finished speaking seriously, Baek Seol-ah hurriedly raised her voice and grabbed my hand.
That is, whether intentionally or not, she laced her fingers with mine, interlocking them like a couple.
Baek Seol-ah flinched a beat after me and flushed red, but even so, she didn't pull her hand away and muttered weakly.
“Y-you didn't do anything wrong……. Before, I just said it without thinking. If you really think about it, I'm the one with the problem, and, yeah.”
“……What is this girl even saying? Speak properly.”
“I-I mean, it's just…….”
From my perspective, it was a jumble of words that was nearly impossible to understand, closer to muttering to herself or lamenting her situation.
Mumble, ramble. It was hard to understand what she ultimately wanted to say, but I waited while she still held my hand.
“……Ah, hwee. What I mean is.”
In the end, Baek Seol-ah squeezed both eyes shut as though gathering the words she was about to say, then reluctantly asked.
“It's just, you know……? I have a lot on my mind right now, but there are various complications with telling you about it right away, so I can't talk about it.”
“……”
“B-but I'll definitely tell you myself later, so today, just……. Do what you're good at…….”
I raised one eyebrow and asked in return.
“What I'm good at?”
“……Yeah.”
And Baek Seol-ah showed her embarrassment by gripping our interlocked hands so tightly that they were starting to tingle.
Then, her face covered in a fresh, youthful blush, she rolled her eyes around to avoid my gaze and said.
“J-just hug me tight and fuck me hard…….”
“──.”
Even though there was no particular crisis, she had displayed an astonishing technique that sent the reins of my reason flying far away with a single sentence.
I was greatly shaken for a moment and my eyes trembled, but I soon forced myself to regain my composure and thought.
‘……Baek Seol-ah, you bitch.’
Until now, I'd thought she was merely a genius at magic…….
But could she actually be a genius at being a woman, too?
“H-Han Taeyang? Say something, please.”
“……”
Honestly, given the circumstances and the moment, that was the only conclusion I could draw. That line had that much destructive power.
And, as was only natural, my brief hesitation didn't last long.
I immediately gave her a short answer.
“Sure.”
“……Uh, oh. Huh? Hyaak?!”
Shluck─!
After all, as Baek Seol-ah had said, this was ‘what I'm good at.’
There was no reason I couldn't do it, nor any reason not to.
I immediately pulled Baek Seol-ah tightly into my arms and pushed my cock, already inside her, even deeper.
I didn't know what she was worrying about so much.
I only hoped that having sex with me would ease the troubles weighing on her heart, at least somewhat.
