Chapter 294: Different Play
Let’s backtrack a little.
Lately, Seo Ye-rin had been feeling a sense of crisis.
If she told Kim Woo-jin, he’d probably ask what kind of bullshit she was talking about, but that was how she felt nonetheless.
It started with Oh Yun-ji.
After Kim Woo-jin saved her, Oh Yun-ji declared she wouldn't give up and would try her best to make things work with him again.
It would be a lie to say it didn't bother her. It was naturally irritating, but Ye-rin stayed quiet for the time being.
After all, Oh Yun-ji was a complicated person to Kim Woo-jin in many ways.
She trusted that Woo-jin would handle it well on his own.
The second trigger was Choi I-seo.
It happened while they were shopping at the department store.
The atmosphere between Choi I-seo and Kim Woo-jin had a certain freshness that was different from her own relationship with him.
The heart-fluttering excitement those two shared was something she couldn't find in herself, as her relationship had started with sex.
She had tried acting like a "conservative girl" as a concept, but she gave up on that quickly.
It didn't suit her at all.
Now, they were in Hawaii.
Though a complicated feeling still lingered in a corner of her heart, they were on a trip.
She decided she should enjoy it.
"How long do you plan on clinging to him?"
But on the very first day of the trip...
Seo Ye-rin became certain that she could no longer just stand by and watch.
* * *
I thought I’d gotten used to her cold stares by now.
The way the highlights in her eyes seemed to vanish—as if her thoughts were focused on a single, sharp point—was quite eerie, but it wasn't the first time I'd seen it.
Besides, I hadn't actually done anything wrong this time, so I thought I could just brush it off.
She’s freaking terrifying.
Under Seo Ye-rin’s gaze, a feeling of dread coiled around my body like a restraint.
If it’s like this now, what’s going to happen if we actually get married or move in together later?
I wanted to escape reality with such immature questions, but Seo Ye-rin wouldn't let me.
"How long do you plan on clinging to him?"
At those words, I quickly peeled Oh Yun-ji off me.
Should I get on my knees?
But if I do that, I won't be able to run away, will I?
While I was agonizing over the crossroads of choice, Seo Ye-rin ignored me and looked at Oh Yun-ji, asking:
"Do you really think something like that would turn Woo-jin on?"
"Hmm?"
I blurted out a response to the sudden question, but Seo Ye-rin kept pouring it on.
"Woo-jin, you see, is surprisingly sensitive. He doesn't get turned on at all if you try to force him like that!"
"Ye-rin, did you drink too?"
Just in case, I touched Ye-rin’s cheeks. They were soft and felt good to the touch, so I grabbed both and gave them a tug.
"Let go of me."
"Yes, ma'am."
Okay, so she wasn't drunk.
"Hmph! Woo-jin is! Rather than that kind of coercion—!"
"He values the atmosphere. He’s surprisingly sentimental."
Oh Yun-ji crossed her arms and gave a nostalgic, satisfied smile.
It was the relaxed smile of a woman with an overwhelming lead in "experience points."
"Uh...?"
Seo Ye-rin’s question of how she knew that didn't get to go any further.
Because Oh Yun-ji’s explanation continued like rapid-fire.
"But a roleplay like the one just now is different. The foundation of it is ultimately the feelings they have for each other, so he actually responds quite well to it."
"..."
"Cosplay? Events? He likes them all. But more than that, he loves the feeling of 'she did this just for me' the most."
"Woo-jin l-likes breasts!"
Even though Seo Ye-rin shouted while flaunting her volume, Oh Yun-ji countered with effortless ease.
"He likes breasts because you feel so much when he touches them. He likes seeing you enjoy yourself."
"..."
Seo Ye-rin shut her mouth tight, clenched her fists, and pouted.
"N-no, I don't. I don't feel anything in my breasts at all."
"I saw him kneading them a few times while you were asleep earlier, and you were definitely feeling it."
"...!"
Seo Ye-rin immediately spun around and glared at me.
Her eyes were full of resentment, as if asking how I could reveal her weakness to that woman.
Then, she turned back and brought up a topic she thought she could win.
"I’ve been so good to Woo-jin! I even did it with a third person involved!"
"Hey! Hey! Ye-rin!"
"Mmph-mmph-mmph!"
I hurriedly covered Seo Ye-rin’s mouth with both hands. I held her back as she struggled in my arms, trying to lung at Oh Yun-ji.
At first, Oh Yun-ji glared at me for the mention of a threesome.
However, Yun-ji naturally possessed the temperament of a gambler who never backed down in these situations.
"Ah..."
With a look of pity, she drove the final nail in.
"So one wasn't enough to satisfy him."
"Mmm-ba-ba-mmph-ba-ba!"
"Aaaagh! W-wait, Ye-rin! Don't bite! And you, stop provoking her!"
She started thrashing as if having a fit and began gnawing on my fingers.
In front of the struggling Seo Ye-rin, Oh Yun-ji smiled brightly and blew me a hand heart.
"If you're ever not satisfied, come to me. I'll squeeze every last drop out of you... just like the old days."
"@#@#!@$!$!#."
"Aargh! Ye-rin! That really hurts!"
She was now spewing things that weren't even human speech. Having delivered her provocation, Oh Yun-ji strode out of the room.
"See you tomorrow, then."
Thud.
And a moment later.
Creeeak.
The door opened again, and Oh Yun-ji walked back in, pushing a cart while awkwardly avoiding eye contact.
"R-room service is here."
"If you were going to come right back, why did you provoke her like that?!"
"!@#!#$!@#!"
* * *
Crunch!
Ye-rin aggressively bit into a sausage, her gaze still fixed on Oh Yun-ji.
Oh Yun-ji, on the other hand, seemed embarrassed that she’d missed her timing to retreat after the provocation, so she just ate her food while looking away.
Crunch!
"Ye-rin, you're going to break a tooth. Chew gently."
When I cautioned her, Seo Ye-rin shot me a look like a wild beast.
"I'm practicing."
"Practicing... what?"
Crunch!
"Practicing how to tear into a sausage."
"...Do you need anything?"
"Ketchup."
"Yes! Please wait a moment!"
I immediately called room service to ask if they could send up more ketchup.
When I returned to the table, Seo Ye-rin held out a hand.
"Beer."
"Yes! I'll get it right away!"
I rushed to the fridge, grabbed a can of beer, and placed it in her hand.
"What are you doing?"
Seo Ye-rin looked at the can and snapped at me. At first, I wondered what was wrong, but fortunately, I realized quickly.
Tsssh!
"Please enjoy!"
Only after I popped the tab for her did she take a sip. She frowned slightly as if it wasn't particularly delicious, but she kept drinking anyway.
"You're completely whipped."
Oh Yun-ji, sitting across from us, scoffed. Does she not realize who I'm being whipped by right now?
"Phew. Ye-rin, ignore her. There's no need to compete over weird things."
To soothe and coax her, I poked a sausage with a fork and held it to her mouth. Seo Ye-rin chewed and swallowed it in an instant, then took another gulp of beer.
"Pwah! You call that a weird thing?! In a way, it's my identity!"
Between the "Bamboo Forest Sex Master" thing and this...
Why is she so obsessed with weird things?
"I'm not fresh like I-seo, and I'm not bubbly like Ah-rin! I'm just, I'm juuuuust—!"
Ye-rin slammed the beer can down and shouted, her eyes welling up.
"I just happen to be incredibly pretty! And have full breasts! And have the tolerance to accommodate any sexual preference! That's aaaaall!"
"...Isn't she just bragging about herself?"
Oh Yun-ji pointed at Seo Ye-rin in disbelief, but I put an index finger to my lips and signaled her to be quiet.
"That's more than enough, Ye-rin. I love you just the way you are."
"That's only for a little while! I know! I saw it on the Bamboo Forest—men start getting bored of women once they've done everything there is to do! You're already bored of my body!"
I wanted to tell her that if I were bored, I wouldn't have started kneading her breasts the moment I woke up.
But for now, comfort and encouragement took priority over logic.
"Not at all! How could I ever get bored of you? You're so beautiful and charming. There's no way I'd get bored."
"We're too addicted to stimulation! Because we started with sex! I feel like the growth plates of our romance have closed!"
"Is all sex the same? If that were true, would married couples eventually do everything and get bored and break up? No, they don't."
The sobbing Seo Ye-rin began to calm down a bit. It seemed my comfort was working.
"Sexual relations aren't the center of everything. We're getting to know the parts of each other we don't know yet, and sharing the parts we do know even more as we live our lives."
"Is that how it is?"
"Yes, that's how it is. And sex? Yun-ji might have done it a lot. But Ye-rin, we have the future ahead of us."
Smack!
Oh Yun-ji slapped the back of my head, but I decided not to even look in her direction.
The moment I paid attention to Oh Yun-ji, there was no telling how Seo Ye-rin would react.
"Right? Yeah, exactly. In the end, I—!"
"I was the one who took Woo-jin's virginity, though."
"..."
"..."
That bitch.
I slapped my forehead and stole a glance at Oh Yun-ji. She had her head turned away, pouting.
She was sulking.
"W-we can just do something else, right?"
As I tried to shift the mood back, Seo Ye-rin asked me with a tearful face.
"Like what? Is there anything we haven't done?"
Something I haven't done with Oh Yun-ji?
For example...
Wait... what is there?
Why is it that everything I can think of, we've already done?
"Have you tried cosplay?"
Seo Ye-rin asked tentatively, perhaps remembering the cow bikini she’d shown me before.
"Teacher, student, nurse, doctor, stewardess, athlete, hotelier, casino dealer, anime character, pet, celebrity, soldier, office worker, and so on. We've done them all."
Oh Yun-ji, sitting opposite us, rattled off a storm of the cosplays and roleplay sex we had done.
Crinkle.
Seo Ye-rin crushed her empty beer can and shouted, refusing to lose.
"Outdoors!"
"School, in front of the house, empty lots, hallways, restrooms?"
"SM!"
"We took turns being the dominant and the submissive."
"U-uh... and then..."
"Heh, do you have any idea how much we agonized every single day to try something new?"
Seo Ye-rin gritted her teeth and looked at me with resentful eyes again.
I had nothing to say to that. I’d been racking my brain for a while now, too.
Ah, car sex!
Didn't Oh Yun-ji bring a car last time and try to seduce me with it?
Since a broke college student couldn't do it even if they wanted to, I’d passed on it!
I was about to say that, but...
"There is exactly one thing we haven't tried."
Oh Yun-ji spoke first, having thought of something, and Seo Ye-rin leaned forward and shouted.
"What is it?! What?!"
Even with Seo Ye-rin right there, Oh Yun-ji stole a glance at me. Feeling a chill, I scratched the back of my neck.
"Opening up Woo-jin."
"..."
"Back when we did the pet play, Woo-jin put a tail on me. So when it was my turn to be the master, I tried to put one on him, but he said absolutely not."
Oh Yun-ji giggled, lost in the memory. I slowly shifted my gaze toward Seo Ye-rin.
Brushing back her bangs and holding her forehead, Seo Ye-rin glared at me and said:
"Take off your underwear, Kim Woo-jin."
* * *
Even though they had only been wandering around the hotel, it was already late.
The hotel tour that started with Choi I-seo and Yoo Ah-rin had grown longer as Choi Jin-ah and Min Ju-hee joined in.
Yoo Ah-rin had a slightly awkward moment with Min Ju-hee, but regardless, they treated each other normally while sightseeing and managed to mend their relationship to some extent.
"We're ba—"
The four girls, feeling exhausted, entered the hotel room.
"Save meeeee!"
And there, they were greeted by Kim Woo-jin, who was running toward them with his pants and underwear off, everything dangling in the air.
