Chapter Title: Ryu Se-eun (1)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
At first, if I said I hadn't planned on going this far, would anyone believe that excuse?
Ryu Se-eun straddled Lee Hyun-jin, continuously letting out pained groans. Keening, grunting.
Of course, she knew no one would buy it. Common sense dictated that if she truly had no intention of doing this, she couldn't have carried out such a calculated outrage(?).
Yeah, Ryu Se-eun decided to admit it to herself.
To be honest, she did have a second plan in place: if things didn't go smoothly, resort to physical assault.
...And this was the world line where that "just-in-case" backup plan she had only thought about was finally put into action.
A bit regrettable, but oh well, it had come to this. No choice but to sacrifice her purity!
That was Ryu Se-eun's simple, brutish plan.
First, she smuggled in canned beer banned from the comic cafe, pretending to step out briefly while he was distracted and buy it fresh.
She handed him the can laced beforehand with an amplification spell on its contents, getting him drunk.
Strapping an adult man to her back like a log with wooden vines and crawling her way to a hotel on the night streets had been quite the grueling march, but...
Still, everything had gone off without a hitch.
'Why, why won't it go in properly?'
The problem arose in the most unexpected place. Ryu Se-eun had no idea. Was penetration really this difficult a process...?
She had no trouble grabbing hold of Lee Hyun-jin's member and stroking it erect.
Ryu Se-eun half-whimpered as she nibbled anxiously on her lower lip.
'What's the point of getting it hard.'
If she couldn't insert it. If she couldn't even find the hole! At the crucial moment for proper alignment, it kept slipping just a fraction off every time!
There were probably multiple reasons. Plenty she could guess. Lack of lube for starters, and her own inexperienced twenty-year-old clumsiness?
Having never done this before, she didn't know how to make insertion smooth.
Even baring her naked body before a peer for the first time in her life, tension outweighed arousal.
The one silver lining was that since Lee Hyun-jin opened his eyes and started staring at her, a faint throbbing had begun in her lower abdomen.
...If she just stalled a little longer like this, her own body might get ready down there.
Ryu Se-eun was furrowing her brow ever so slightly with that hopeful thought when—
Crackle—
"Huh...?"
For an instant, a golden bolt of lightning flickered at the edge of her vision.
Bewilderment washed over Ryu Se-eun's face.
And then a slicing sound rang out. Schwick!
The wooden vines binding Lee Hyun-jin's arms tore apart under the lightning.
Ryu Se-eun's eyes widened. Right after, her lips went dry as bone.
...Lee Hyun-jin was right in front of her, rolling his shoulders while gripping a blade of lightning.
Why was an ice mage like him using the Cheon family's signature magic right now?
And how had he dismantled her spell so cleanly?
Such trivial questions didn't even cross her mind. She couldn't afford to think them. Pale-faced, Ryu Se-eun frantically formed hand seals.
To summon wooden vines again—this time more of them, tougher ones, carefully selected, and—
Rumble!!
"Kyaa?!"
It failed. A single massive thunderclap boomed, and Ryu Se-eun—completely naked—was flung back, landing hard on her butt.
"Ow ow ow..."
The hotel carpet was fairly soft, but not enough to erase the pain entirely.
Ryu Se-eun winced, gingerly rubbing her sore pelvis.
She lifted her head awkwardly with an "oh no..." expression, plastering on the most pitiful smile she could muster.
Right before her advanced Lee Hyun-jin, lightning blade crackling fiercely in his hand.
"Ah, uh, um."
Ryu Se-eun's eyes darted around frantically.
Crisis! This was a serious crisis.
One wrong move, and she could get tangled up in kidnapping and false imprisonment charges.
No—before that, if the mage before her decided to punish her personally, she'd count herself lucky to survive.
She looked up at him with trembling eyes, holding a sliver of hope nonetheless.
If only he'd look at her shameful state and feel desire now, pin her down—then she could turn disaster into fortune.
'Ah, no good.'
One glance at Lee Hyun-jin's expression, and Ryu Se-eun immediately ducked her head again.
Desire? Lust? Now wasn't the time to hope for such palpitations.
If this were an anime scene, thunderclouds and lightning would surely be crashing down behind Lee Hyun-jin's back.
Arouse a man's desire even in this razor-edge situation...?
Gulp!
That had to be some extraordinarily talented female fox with nine tails somewhere.
It certainly didn't apply to Ryu Se-eun here, who had decent looks and figure but nothing else to boast about.
'What now? Really, what the hell do I do?'
Ryu Se-eun panicked. Dry swallows kept forcing their way down her throat.
Seduction in this tightrope scenario? Ah, absolutely impossible. No way she could pull that off.
Then beg for mercy banking on the flimsy affection built over the past few days?
No words to defend herself even with ten mouths, but she'd do anything—please just spare her life.
The Iron City's genius, the archmage's foster daughter Ryu Se-eun—who once believed she could put Lee Hyun-jin, Cheon So-yul, anyone beneath her feet before freshman welcome week—was gone.
Only a small dog sensing who held the upper hand, tail tucked between its legs, remained.
"I-I'm sorry, sunbae. I'm really sorry."
Ryu Se-eun prostrated herself fully, head bowed, repeating apologies nonstop.
In a kidnapping, false imprisonment case(?) where both perp and victim were Awakeners...
And the victim, barely breaking free in the heat of the moment, turns the tables and attacks the perp—killing or maiming them, inflicting harm, whatever.
The judge in court, disciplinary committee? No matter who, unanimous not guilty verdict was near-certain.
In other words, on-site summary judgment was 100% in Lee Hyun-jin's hands right now.
Ryu Se-eun turned ashen, whimpering pitifully. Even if it meant going through with it like her father-slash-mentor Ryu Jin-seong had hinted, she didn't want to die.
'I thought... he'd be okay...'
She'd even felt quietly satisfied handing her virginity to a decent guy. But one swing of lightning, and the tables had turned completely.
Ryu Se-eun harbored belated regret.
No matter what, hadn't he pretended to relent to her unreasonable demands—a man far deeper than his first impression suggested?
This was karma. The price for backstabbing such a kind sunbae and trying to rape him instead—paid with her life!
"Hic."
Ryu Se-eun hiccuped involuntarily. Her body shuddered beyond her control.
A profound chill swept over her, making her wonder if she'd actually wet herself.
Her lower belly kept spasming pitifully.
'Ah, no.'
Ryu Se-eun recoiled instinctively at the creepy sensation portending incontinence.
Anything but that catastrophe. Even if she survived, she'd be socially dead!
Drip—
But the body doesn't always obey one's will.
A sudden heat on her thighs made Ryu Se-eun's mouth gape open.
'N-No feeling at all?'
In crude terms, no precursor to climax whatsoever. Her inner thighs just quivered briefly, then wetness slicked her thighs.
Body rigid, Ryu Se-eun cracked her eyes open from her deep prostration.
Her heavy head already planted in the carpet made checking her lower half easy enough.
And the moment she absentmindedly identified the fluid soaking her thighs—
'...Huh...?'
Ryu Se-eun blinked, her face a peculiar mix of relief and confusion.
It was transparently clear. And oddly viscous.
...Her own love juices—the very ones she'd desperately craved just minutes ago to ease his insertion.
Ryu Se-eun stared in bewilderment. Wait, she was aroused right now of all times...?
Stark naked, not a stitch on her snowy skin.
Doing penance before a peer male.
Stealing glances at his rigid member.
And feeling pleasure from her own disgrace?
'Th-That makes no sense...'
Ryu Se-eun couldn't accept the obvious fact before her eyes. Couldn't comprehend it.
Her sexual fantasies turning out to be "that kind" of all things?
Deep in her heart, a mini Ver. Ryu Se-eun with a golden halo symbolizing an angel cried out desperately.
-No, it can't be! Our Se-eun isn't some pervert like that...!
Then, from the opposite side, another mini Ver. Ryu Se-eun appeared—devilish with a pair of horns and black wings.
The demon Ryu Se-eun, eyes bulging wickedly, promptly slapped the angel's cheek.
Smack!
-Kyak?!
The angel went flying.
The demon Ryu Se-eun, panting excitedly, twisted her legs and yanked down her panties.
-Fuck me fuck me fuck me fuck me fuck me. I wanna be stuffed full, stuffed full, stuffed full.
'Hieeek...!'
Ryu Se-eun screamed wordlessly inside. Her face drained pale, yet her love juices kept flowing shamelessly.
Her secret crevice yearned unmistakably for the man's right now.
