Chapter Title: Cat Girl Surprise
-----------------------------------------------------------------
without warning, Yejin pulled off a total surprise show, leaving the three of us—everyone except Sohee's mom—staring at each other in stunned silence for a few seconds.
I racked my brain trying to figure out where that cat ear headband, choker, and tail had come from. Then it hit me: not long ago, I'd swept up every adult toy I could find, and those must've been part of the haul.
Since I figured anything unnecessary could just be tossed, I'd shoved it all into my Subspace without a second thought. I'd left the sorting to Yejin, so I hadn't cataloged everything, but those were probably from that batch.
Seeing her dressed like that to seduce me, she looked way hotter than usual, and I could feel myself getting hard.
If Sohee and her mom weren't right behind me, I probably would've pounced on Yejin on the spot.
What the hell was Yejin thinking, teasing me like this?
Tonight, I'd have to give her a proper lesson with my cock.
But first things first—time to break this awkward silence.
"That outfit..."
The moment I pointed at Yejin and said something, her face turned beet red, and she grabbed the doorknob, slamming the door shut.
She must've thought I was alone and came out to greet me like that, only to freak when she saw people behind me.
Honestly, even I'd be embarrassed in her shoes.
Guess we'd wait in the hallway until she changed.
"Hey, what the hell was that?"
Then Sohee spoke up from behind me. I turned to see her face flushed red too.
"What?"
"That... that slutty outfit just now!"
"Oh, that? Looks like one of the things I brought back the other day. No idea she'd actually wear it. Wasn't my idea."
Sohee eyed me suspiciously even after my explanation.
"For real? So you're saying she put that on voluntarily?"
"Yeah, swear. Caught me off guard too."
"Who'd voluntarily wear something that trashy...?"
I ignored Sohee muttering to herself in disbelief and waited a bit longer until the door finally creaked open.
"Ah, haha. You're here, oppa?"
"Yeah. Had no clue I'd become a cat dad."
"No... forget what just happened!"
Yejin puffed out her cheeks, pouting in protest.
I brushed past her without a word and stepped into the room.
"Anyway, you've got work to do. Come on in!"
Sohee followed, carrying her mom on her back. She glanced around my spotless room, which felt kinda cute.
"Set your mom down on the floor. Yejin, check her wounds and heal 'em up."
"Got it, oppa. Leave it to me!"
Yejin strode over confidently and reached toward the bandages tied tight for hemostasis.
"Mm... done."
"Good. Untie the bandages then."
I wanted to check if Yejin's healing had fully mended it. If the wound was closed, great; if not, it'd at least sped things up, and we could rewrap with clean ones.
As Yejin went to undo the bandages, Sohee rushed over first and grabbed her mom's right arm.
"I'll do it."
Sohee carefully unwound them bit by bit. The inside was stained red from the blood during our trip.
"Oh, thank God..."
Once all the bandages were off, the zombie bite was gone without a scar—perfectly healed. Yejin's healing touch was seriously clutch.
Even waiting for normal scabbing, that shoulder wound would've taken days minimum, and it'd leave an ugly scar for sure.
But no scar, healed in seconds? Best skill ever.
Wonder if I'd have been fine as a Medical Specialist instead of Technician. But Base Manager trait locks you into Technician, so bringing Yejin and me handling tech was the right call.
Still, even with the wounds healed and zombie infection cured, Sohee's mom hadn't woken up.
Just as I thought we'd wait, Sohee came close and bowed 90 degrees.
"Thank you! If it weren't for you, Mom might've... died! Seriously, thank you!"
"No big deal. Just pay back those coins properly—that's all I care about."
"Right, got it. You said 200 coins per person to stay here, yeah? Here's ours first."
Sohee handed over 400 coins for her and her mom.
"But this is all the coins I've got right now. Short 50... I'll earn 'em today and pay up!"
Her face screamed determination.
"You already owe me coins anyway. Lump it together. No rush for today."
"R-Really?"
"Yeah. Rest easy here with your mom in my safe base today. Or go hunt zombies outside. Up to you."
As I spoke to Sohee, I scanned the room.
Living here with just Yejin felt spacious enough, but cramming in Sohee and her mom? Way too tight.
They'd need another room. Officetel was empty except us, plenty of spares.
"Now that you're living in my base, pick any room upstairs. Third floor's all storage, no space."
"Storage?"
"Yeah, food stockpiles, random junk piles. Too many types up there, so head to the fourth floor. You paid coins, so feel free to use electricity and water inside—just don't overdo it. Food ain't free, though. Pay coins for that. Give 'em to her when I'm out."
I pointed at Yejin, and Sohee nodded like she got it.
She'd seen zombies couldn't enter my base, so she knew how secure it was.
Probably no safer spot to protect her mom from injury or zombies.
"Um, one favor?"
Just as I figured explanations were done, Sohee spoke up.
"Favor? What kind?"
"If Mom wakes up... don't tell her I bought antidote from you and owe coins."
"Ah, gotcha. No prob."
She didn't want her mom knowing she owed me because of her. Made sense—Sohee hated debt.
Easy favor. Could leverage it to pressure her for more, but no need.
Her mom's life was basically in my hands anyway.
I could take it anytime—no need for petty blackmail.
"Uh, uhm..."
As our chat wrapped, Sohee's mom's eyes fluttered, then slowly opened. Fully awake, she propped herself up on her arms.
"Huh, where...?"
"Mom!"
"Sohee?"
Sohee dove into her mom's arms at the sight. Her mom looked utterly confused, glancing around until her eyes met mine.
"Excuse me, where is this?"
"My base. And starting today, you and her can live here too."
"Pardon? What do you mean?"
Freshly awake, she clearly had no clue, her face full of question marks.
"Go rest upstairs for now. Explain the situation to your mom, yeah?"
"Yeah, got it. Mom, can you stand?"
"Uh, yeah. Think so."
Sohee's mom rose slowly. But after one step, her legs buckled, nearly collapsing—Sohee caught her quick.
"Huh? Why no strength?"
"That's..."
Zombie infection was cured, shoulder wounds healed by Yejin's skill.
Yet she wobbled like her body wasn't fully recovered.
"When you were at the elementary school, you fell from a height and passed out. Probably why your body's still recovering."
"Is that so? That right, Sohee?"
"Y-Yeah."
Sohee's mom asked her supportive daughter, who nodded awkwardly, face screaming guilt.
Can't lie for shit, can she? Obvious as hell.
"I see. So the young lady healed me?"
Glancing at Sohee's guilty face, her mom seemed to catch on, nodding and turning to Yejin. Probably remembered her healing Sohee's minor arm cuts from their first meet.
"Y-Yes? Right?"
"Thank you so much."
Sohee's mom bowed to Yejin in thanks, then shifted to me.
"And thank you too. For saving me and Sohee."
"Huh? Oh, uh."
I hadn't spilled details, but she seemed to grasp it. Though no way she knew about the zombie infection or Sohee's antidote debt, right?
Sohee asked to keep it secret, so I'd play along.
With that, we headed to the fourth floor together.
"Pick any room. Gonna be dusty from sitting empty over a week—clean it yourselves."
I smashed the locks so they could enter.
Sohee yelled about locking doors, but I shrugged it off and headed down to the third floor.
Base was perfectly safe—why bother with locks?
I'd ditched my own room's lock after getting Base Manager; too annoying to fiddle with.
Back in my room after dropping them off, Yejin greeted me.
"Oppa, so those two are staying here for good?"
"Probably."
"Hmm... what the heck happened?"
I gave Yejin the rundown.
She frowned but looked impressed too.
"Whoa... sold a 1,000-coin item for 100,000? Oppa, you're..."
"What am I?"
"Ahem, nothing. Ahaha~"
I could guess the rest: devil, psycho, something like that.
Getting bold with jokes lately, huh?
I grabbed her waist, hoisted her up, and tossed her lightly on the bed.
"Kyaa!"
I yanked off her bottoms and slid fingers into her pussy.
"Ahk!"
Unlike our first time, now she got wet instantly when I went for it. Just a touch, and she was ready—body tuned perfectly to me.
Squelch! Squelch!
Once slick enough, I pulled my fingers out, freed my raging hard-on, and thrust deep inside.
"Haaang!"
Just the insertion made Yejin moan like she was cumming lightly.
Her pussy took my cock without resistance now—best living onahole ever.
I started pounding fast, thinking one quick load then zombie hunt before railing her all night—when the door swung open.
I glanced over mid-thrust: Sohee walking in.
"Door was open, so I came in. You said I could get food, so I thought I'd grab some... uh, uwaaaah! What the hell are you doing?!"
Catching us mid-sex live, Sohee yelped loud and covered her face.
But her fingers parted enough—I saw her peeking.
"Can't you tell? Sex. Sex."
"Hauck! O-Oppa! Someone's w-watching! Aang!"
I didn't stop slamming into Yejin's pussy even with Sohee staring.
If anything, knowing someone watched made her tighten up more—felt amazing.
I blew my load right inside.
As the orgasm hit, I turned to Sohee casually.
"Wanna join? I don't mind."
Sohee, who'd been frozen watching, jolted at my words, stepped back, and screamed.
"Y-You... pervert bastard! No way!!"
She bolted out, slamming the door.
Thug-looking girl, but blushes at this? Virgin for sure.
Maybe even a total no-experience type.
Bummer, no 3P chance.
Eh, opportunity'll come eventually.
