-----------------------------------------------------------------
To be honest with you, part of me thought there might never be another day like this with Cheon So-yul.
I mean, come on. That night was just a mistake born out of us both being blackout drunk. Honestly, it was a pretty impulsive hookup.
So, I figured it wouldn't be weird if we both agreed to sweep it under the rug and forget about it. At least, that's what I thought until the next morning.
'But her reaction was way more nonchalant than I expected. Almost... ordinary?'
Yeah, that was the surprise. Cheon So-yul's attitude toward me hadn't changed one bit.
Not only that, but she'd done it right in front of me twice... and even pleasured herself while I was listening.
By then, I started thinking maybe she wasn't sweating that night as much as I was.
...I was relieved, but at the same time, there was this other feeling. What should I call it? Lingering unease? Or maybe a touch of regret?
If I looked deep inside myself, there was one fact I couldn't ignore.
I cherished that first time with Cheon So-yul more than I wanted to admit.
She was my closest friend and my biggest rival, and we'd spent the whole night tussling in bed.
The thrill of that taboo hit me hard. Words can't even do it justice.
That's probably where the regret came from.
To put it bluntly, attachment.
We bickered every day, hurling lightning bolts and ice shards like it was nothing, and then we were skin to skin. Bodies intertwined. To be explicit, we had sex.
If I said it didn't feel good, that'd be a 100% lie.
Even with memories of my past life, I'm just a barely twenty-year-old kid now.
Resisting that intense stimulation wasn't easy. Surviving it unscathed would make you a sage.
So, inevitably, it kept coming back to me. The feel of her soft skin, Cheon So-yul's voice, even that faint, erotic scent from back then.
That was the reason. Even as I slowly realized my own lingering feelings, when her unexpected seduction hit...
...I froze like a statue.
This isn't an excuse. It's an explanation.
'...Or is it the same thing?'
I snapped out of my dumb thoughts and glanced up at Cheon So-yul.
She was still stretching her leg, her foot teasing my inner thigh, and that playful touch was insanely stimulating.
Then she inched closer. Where? Obviously, toward the part of me that was already standing at attention right this second.
She glanced down at my lower half and flashed a mysterious little smile.
"It's hard."
"...".
She tossed out those two syllables like it was nothing, snapping my last thread of sanity.
...I couldn't hold back anymore.
"What, if I'd known you liked lines like that, I would've said them more often. Never thought you'd fold this easily, kyaa?!"
I shot up and flipped the cheeky Cheon So-yul onto her back in an instant. A cute squeal escaped her.
I blinked down at her, and even with her wrists pinned, she rolled her eyes like she was embarrassed.
"...No, that was a mistake. You lunged at me out of nowhere. Are you some kind of animal?"
She tried to play it off like an excuse, but no dice. I shot a cold glare at the poor guy under me.
Feeling even more humiliated, Cheon So-yul shrank back like a turtle into its shell.
"H-Hurry up if you're gonna do it. Why are you staring like that? You're already as turned on as you can get, so quit trying to set some stupid mood...! Eek, hyaa?!"
I ignored her words. I reached out, grabbed her perky breast, and rubbed it gently.
Cheon So-yul let out another reflexive moan, her face flushed redder than ever. She was clearly mortified.
Of course, my whole goal was to heap as much shame and humiliation on this arrogant girl as possible, so there was no reason to hesitate.
Feeling her bra through her uniform shirt, I yanked it down a bit forcefully and pinched the erect nipple directly. With my thumb and forefinger.
"...?!!"
Cheon So-yul jolted in surprise, her back arching sharply. She looked flustered, bewildered even, but did she know that innocent reaction was stirring something sadistic in me?
"H-Hey. Wait, w-wait a sec...?!"
She flailed her hands to push me away, but as I'd said, I had no intention of stopping.
She started this seduction. No backing out now. Just like she wanted, I planned to satisfy her fully.
I kept teasing her breast with one hand and leaned down. I buried my face in the nape of her neck.
Without giving her a chance to ask what I was doing, I flicked out my tongue.
"...Hyaa!"
Feeling my tongue on her neck, shoulder, or collarbone, Cheon So-yul gasped and let out an adorable moan.
With my other hand, I slowly peeled off her top while trailing kisses downward.
A light peck on her cheek, then along her jawline. Down to her collarbone, upper chest, cute little fruit, ribs, waist, navel. I kept going lower.
"H-Hey, you...! I said wait...!"
She was probably enjoying it plenty, but Cheon So-yul still reached out to shove my head away.
Judging by her voice, it didn't sound like she hated it. Just embarrassed?
If so, no reason to stop.
I decided to go for the underwear under the skirt she'd hiked up earlier.
"Hee? Eh?!"
Her body shuddered—I bet her eyes were trembling like there was an earthquake.
Glancing up, she had both hands clamped over her face.
"A-Ah, auu."
Our Cheon So-yul was even making weird noises now.
I chuckled teasingly.
"Surrendering already? That's quick for someone who seduced me so boldly."
"S-Shut up...".
That weak protest didn't sound sincere at all.
I ignored it and poked her soft lower belly, the slightly bulging part, lightly, tickling.
"Eut, nn...".
I'd tested it on a hunch, and sure enough, the reaction was instant.
Cheon So-yul parted her fingers slightly, shooting me a shy glance.
"...How long are you gonna, hng, just touch...?"
And then she said that.
I paused for a second.
What? Is that a signal to go in? Really? Can I now?
'...Honestly, it's getting hard for me to hold back too.'
I'd tried to play the gentleman with foreplay, but it wasn't easy.
Imitating a few hand moves from videos had obvious limits.
...And please don't ask where those videos came from.
Anyway.
"Hoo."
I let out a ragged breath proving my own arousal and looked down at Cheon So-yul, her ears red as could be. I called out.
"Hey."
"...".
"Cheon So-yul."
"W-What?!"
She must've realized her voice was trembling like leaves in the wind just from speaking—she nodded at first instead of answering, then yelped at my repeated call.
I smirked and unbuckled my belt.
*Clink.* She flinched at the metallic sound, lowering the hands covering her face a bit.
Her face was even redder now, lips bitten hard.
"Ha. Damn... How did I end up with a guy like you...?"
She glared fiercely and grumbled, but I shrugged like I hadn't heard and touched her down there.
Nothing much—just a light tap with my fingertip. Gentle enough for foreplay.
"—?!"
Cheon So-yul's head snapped back, hand clamping over her mouth. Her hips trembled.
"...?"
I froze, blinking. The unexpected reaction had me puzzled.
"...What the."
I yanked down her half-lowered white panties. She reached out in surprise even while shaking, but...
"Heh."
No way was I slower than her limp self. Pulling them down to her knees, I saw a sticky silver thread connecting her panties to her thighs.
Love juices, no doubt.
Hm.
Considering her mental state, I kept quiet and just moved my hand.
It slipped in easily, already so wet.
*Squish.* Her hips twitched intermittently.
"Ha, uk, nn, hng, hnet, hek."
As the teasing continued, her moans grew more sultry.
No resistance. Just her writhing like she wanted more.
Had she cast shame aside completely? Normally, she'd yell back out of embarrassment from even a few minutes of this making her cum a little.
She nibbled her fingers near her lips, and as my own excitement peaked...
"H-Hey, ah...".
She broke first.
Her lips mumbled like baby talk, eyes glazed as she looked up at me.
That seductive gaze hit me, making my heart sink.
I flinched reflexively.
"...Haaah."
She exhaled dreamily and reached for me.
Like she wanted something. Or rather...
"...P-Please, a little."
She was begging, her voice laced with coquetry.
"Stop just playing with your fingers... Let's do it already... Okay?"
"...".
It was a plea.
Her hand on her pale belly, she smiled awkwardly and glanced down.
Her lusty eyes fixed on my throbbing erection.
I squeezed my eyes shut and breathed shallowly.
At this rate, I'd lose it and pounce. Though that might be exactly what she wanted...
Still, there were steps to follow.
Rushing in blindly when we're both this worked up could spell trouble.
...Right, I didn't have a condom. Damn it.
As I groaned in frustration and mentally mapped the nearest convenience store...
"Mm."
Cheon So-yul blinked up at me, then lit up like a bulb went off over her head and nodded vigorously.
"Aha."
She reached out—toward the bed right beside us. Or rather, under it.
"...?"
As I squinted in confusion, she pulled something from the narrow space beneath.
...A rectangular box, in a very familiar package shape.
Condoms.
"...Why do you have those under the bed...?"
I asked in disbelief, and she sheepishly held the box up to half-hide her face.
"...Don't get the wrong idea. I just pulled them out when the doorbell rang."
"...".
She meant she didn't normally keep them there.
But to me, it sounded like she'd been anticipating this since I showed up at her dorm door.
'This girl's driving me crazy.'
I let out a dry laugh and decided not to hold back anymore.
"Hhek?"
I scooped up the dazed Cheon So-yul and headed straight for the bed.
I undid my tie; she tugged the blanket closer and swallowed hard.
Now nearly naked, she rolled her eyes and peeked at me.
Our gazes locked for a moment.
"...Hng...".
Her lower belly twitched, shoulders quivering with flushed excitement.
The time was 10 PM.
