The Mountain Villa Gathering
After that day, my wife hasn’t said a single word about what happened. In bed, she flirts just like before, eagerly wanting me. We also meet with Dae-woo and Yoo-mi every week. The four of us laugh and chat as if nothing had ever occurred. No matter how drunk she gets, Yoo-ri never brings up that night. We keep smiling, all while walking on thin ice.
During the two days before Yoo-ri came home, Yoo-mi and I had devoured each other’s bodies in a feverish haze. Since then, we’ve only exchanged the occasional KakaoTalk message. We haven’t met alone. I don’t even glance toward the neighbor’s house anymore. I can’t put Yoo-mi through any more trouble because of my own desires. I spend each day hoping everything will return to normal.
After a long silence, Dae-woo calls me.
“Little brother, where are you?”
“Where do you think? At the office.”
“Want to get some fresh air this weekend?”
“Where to?”
“A friend of mine has a villa in the mountains. Quiet, and there’s a nice valley nearby.”
“Just the four of us?”
“Why, is someone else coming?”
“No, it’s not that…”
“Hmm. Makes sense.”
Dae-woo probably wants a change of scenery, but the idea terrifies me. An empty villa with just the four of us… I’m scared of how Yoo-ri might react. I’m afraid she’ll say the same things she did before. Dae-woo is probably thinking the same thing.
“Nothing’s going to happen. Enough time has passed, and it seems like Yoo-ri has decided to forget about it.”
“Still, people change depending on the atmosphere. Honestly, I’m not comfortable with it.”
“Yeah? All right, let’s think about it some more.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up, I sink back into thought. Our two couples are getting along again, but only because we meet at noisy restaurants. Dae-woo and I have been consciously avoiding seeing each other at home. The villa feels too risky. There’s no need to push it when things are finally settling back into place.
Still, going somewhere outdoors with Yoo-ri sounds nice. It’s been a long time since we traveled together, just the two of us.
After work, I sit down to the dinner table Yoo-ri has prepared. She chatters away about her day, and I feel an overwhelming happiness listening to her.
“Honey, how about we go on a trip this weekend?”
“Huh? A trip? Out of nowhere?”
“Yeah. It’s been a while since we went anywhere, just the two of us.”
“Of course! Sounds great, darling.”
Yoo-ri smiles brightly, clearly delighted.
At the office, I search for travel spots. These days there are all kinds of pensions, but with the date so close, every decent place is already booked. Yoo-ri calls me.
“Ah, honey.”
“Did you find somewhere good?”
“The nice places are all full. We might have to book a hotel.”
“Hotels don’t have much atmosphere, though.”
“True. I’ll keep looking.”
“Okay. Oh, by the way—”
“Yeah?”
“Yoo-mi unni mentioned that Dae-woo’s friend’s villa is empty these days. She said it’s really quiet and nice.”
“……”
“Why? Don’t you like the idea?”
“Let’s just go by ourselves.”
“Really? Hohoho, that might be better. We can have some proper atmosphere for once.”
“Yeah. I want a fiery night with my wife, no interruptions.”
“Got it, you perv. Keep searching. I’ll look too.”
“Okay.”
I’m truly grateful to my wife. Grateful that she’s bright again, that she’s happy. In the end, we don’t manage to leave this week and stay home instead. Yoo-ri says we should take our time and find a really good place. My suggestion to just go somewhere quiet and relax is gently ignored. In the past I would have gotten annoyed, but watching her earnestly search on the computer, I can only smile fondly. Her serious expression is adorable.
On a boring Saturday afternoon, Yoo-ri stretches after growing tired of searching.
“Honey, want to go have some cold draft beer with unni and her husband?”
“Sure, why not.”
I’ve been lying on the sofa watching baseball and was starting to feel bored myself.
“Hello? Unni?”
“Where are you?”
“Huh? You went to the villa?”
“Ah, I’m jealous.”
“Hmm, should we? I’ll call you back later.”
Listening to Yoo-ri’s call, it sounds like Dae-woo and Yoo-mi have gone to the villa to relax by themselves.
“Honey, should we go too, right now?”
“Where? Did you decide on a place?”
“They’re at unni’s villa. Let’s just go there.”
“……”
“Darling, you’re bored too, right? Aing~”
“Isn’t it far? Going now…”
“She said it’s about two hours by car.”
“……”
“If we leave now, we can have dinner together. Right?”
It’s decided. Yoo-ri has made up her mind. So we’re going after all. To that villa.
Suppressing an uneasy feeling, I set off for the villa with my wife. Following the navigation, we arrive in about two and a half hours. Dae-woo comes out to greet us.
“Oh, you came?”
“Yeah. We ended up coming after all, haha.”
“Right, haha.”
Yoo-ri gets out of the passenger seat, beaming.
“Wow, the air is so fresh. Is there no one else here, Dae-woo?”
“Welcome, Yoo-ri. There are a few houses down below. Local residents.”
“But what did you mean by ‘ended up coming’?”
“It’s nothing. Don’t worry about it. Come on in.”
Dae-woo and I exchange glances and smile. The villa is divided into the main house and a separate building. It’s small and pretty. Dae-woo’s friend must be quite wealthy.
The sun is setting, and darkness begins to creep in from the distance. The smell of grilling meat from the yard stirs my appetite. Besides Yoo-mi, there are two other people.
Villa caretakers, maybe?
The faces are familiar. They aren’t caretakers.
“Oh, it’s been a while, Su-heon.”
“Ah, hello.”
“My, Yoo-ri looks even prettier every time I see her, hahaha.”
“Oh my, Jae-geun, you came too? Hello, it’s been a while.”
After dropping off our luggage in the room, I find Dae-woo waiting for me.
“I called him since you guys weren’t coming. You don’t mind, right?”
“What can we do now that he’s here?”
“Well, with more people around, nobody’s going to bring up the things we’re worried about, haha.”
“I suppose so. But who’s that next to him?”
“Oh, you’ve heard about her before. Jae-geun’s wife.”
“Really? She doesn’t look like what I expected.”
“I thought the same at first, but I’ve met them a few times as couples. She seems decent enough.”
“Maybe that bastard was lying. I don’t trust him.”
“You really don’t like Jae-geun, huh?”
“Yeah. I just don’t.”
“Hahaha. Since we’re here, let’s just drink some cold beer and relax before heading back.”
“Okay.”
Dae-woo and Yoo-mi, Yoo-ri and I, that guy and his wife—six of us sit in a circle, drinking while eating grilled meat. Enjoying the fresh evening air outdoors like this, I feel a rare sense of leisure.
While drinking, I steal glances at that guy’s wife. Yoo-mi and my wife have a slightly plump yet glamorous figure, but she looks like a very slender young woman. Probably around 160 cm and 45 kg, with fair skin and long straight hair. Her eyes carry a seductive charm when she smiles. Judging by the curves pushing against her T-shirt, her breasts are quite full. The short miniskirt clings tightly to her hips, and the contrast with her slim waist makes the curves look especially striking.
Most of all, if she’s as open-minded as that bastard claims, her movements in bed probably aren’t ordinary either. I want to grab that delicate waist with both hands and thrust into her from behind. I want to see that seductive smile twist in pleasure. I want to shove my cock between those glossy lips.
“Hey, Su-heon.”
“Yeah?”
Startled by his voice, I snap out of my thoughts.
“You’ve been staring at my wife pretty hard, haven’t you?”
“What? Ah, well…”
“If you like her, just ask her out on a date, hahaha.”
“Hahaha, maybe I will, hahaha.”
Feeling like my inner thoughts have been exposed, I reply casually and glance at Yoo-ri. She pinches my side, her lips twitching.
“Yoo-ri, you’re okay with it, right? Su-heon dating my wife, hahaha.”
“She doesn’t look interested at all, does she? Hohoho.”
While answering lightly, Yoo-ri keeps staring at me. Her cheeks seem flushed.
“Wife, what about you? Want to date Su-heon?”
“Come on, with such a pretty wife, why would he date me? Hohoho.”
“Oh, so you’re saying you’re interested? Hahaha, see that, Yoo-ri? Hahaha.”
“Stop it. You’re embarrassing him, Su-heon.”
She says my name with those small lips.
“Oh, by the way, sister-in-law, how old did you say you were this year?”
Dae-woo changes the subject while downing his beer.
“Me? I just turned thirty, hohoho.”
“Really? You look way younger.”
“Oh my, Dae-woo, should I show you my ID? Hohoho.”
“Hahaha, no need for that, hahaha.”
“Su-heon, how old do you think I am?”
She suddenly turns her head and looks at me with big, blinking eyes.
“Ah, I thought you were in your twenties, hahaha.”
“Oho, you have good taste, Su-heon. Hohoho. Here, bottoms up.”
At her suggestion, I pick up the glass in front of me and down it in one go.
