Lewd Whispers in the Alley
We stepped into the barbecue restaurant, my wife and I murmuring in awe as we took in the bustling interior. "Wow, this place is huge inside. Babe, look at all these people," Yu-jin said, eyes wide. "You're right. It really is as popular as you said."
The place had clearly been designed to pack in as many customers as possible. Round tables were paired with small cylindrical stools, and the seating was so tight that you could easily bump elbows with the people at the next table. It was peak dinner hour, so most of the seats were already full, and the staff rushed around taking orders and delivering food in a controlled chaos. I normally hated this kind of noisy atmosphere, but since we'd come all the way into the city center for a date and Yu-jin looked so excited, I decided to keep my mouth shut and just enjoy the meal.
"Welcome! Table for two? Right this way, please."
A server spotted us lingering by the entrance and hurried over. As he approached, his eyes flicked over Yu-jin in a quick but thorough scan—from her face to her chest and down to her legs. It happened in a split second. Yu-jin didn't seem to notice, but I caught it clearly.
What the hell? Even if she's a customer, that's way too obvious.
For a moment I felt a flash of irritation, but then I reminded myself that men had been staring at my wife—secretly or openly—for years. It was nothing new. I let it slide.
"I'll seat you toward the back. Please follow me."
The server acted as if nothing had happened, smiling pleasantly as he led us to our table.
"What can I get you?"
"We'll start with the two-person set. If we need anything else, we'll let you know."
I placed a safe, standard order, then glanced around at the tables near ours. One was occupied by a family. The other held three college-age guys who were already drinking heavily. The sight made me crave a drink too.
"Yu-jin, should we get some alcohol?"
"Hmm? But you have to drive, babe. Is that okay?"
"We've come all the way to the city center for a nice dinner. We should drink. I'll just call a designated driver later."
"Alright, let's do it."
"One bottle of soju and two beers, please!"
We added the drinks to our order. When the two-person set arrived, we grilled the meat and fell into the kind of relaxed conversation couples rarely have time for anymore. The alcohol brought a pretty flush to Yu-jin's cheeks. She'd always been a lightweight. Her family didn't drink much, and she herself had never been particularly interested in it. When we first started dating, our different attitudes toward drinking had actually made planning dates difficult. I loved to drink; she didn't. But after we got married, she gradually started joining me more often. These days she usually went along with the idea happily.
"Babe, is work still crazy busy?" she asked.
"Yeah... it's peak season right now. I feel like I need ten bodies just to keep up. And since I'm the youngest on the team, I can't exactly leave early without feeling guilty."
She sighed. "Sometimes I worry that quitting my job after we got married put too much pressure on you."
"What are you talking about? Your decision to stop working has nothing to do with how busy I am. I was the one who said it was fine for you to quit."
"You always know exactly what to say to make me feel better." She smiled softly. "Still, being home all day gets a little boring. It's not that I don't do housework, but I'm so used to it now that I finish everything quickly. There are too many hours left before you get home."
"Then why don't you try picking up a hobby? I hear a lot of housewives do that these days."
Yu-jin thought for a moment, then nodded. "I've actually been thinking the same thing. Maybe I should start going to the gym. A lot of my friends said they do pilates or weight training for their hobbies. They say time passes quickly, you get healthy, and it's two birds with one stone."
"That's true. I use the company gym during lunch when I can. It might be good for you too."
"Yeah. I'm in my thirties now. If I don't start exercising soon, I'll gain weight fast."
"What are you talking about? You don't have an ounce of fat on you. Other women would be jealous."
"Hmph. Why are you being so sweet today? Still... it feels nice to hear it." She giggled, clearly pleased.
We kept talking and drinking until the food was gone and it was time to leave. Looking around, I noticed many of the tables had cleared out. The family next to us was already gone, but the three college guys were still drinking.
"Babe, I'm going to run to the bathroom before we go," Yu-jin said.
"Okay. I'll pay and wait for you outside."
"Sir, where's the restroom?"
"Go out the back door and it's down the alley on your left."
Following the server's directions, Yu-jin opened the back door and disappeared. I went to the counter to pay. The three college guys had finished too and lined up behind me. After settling the bill, I stepped outside and walked into a narrow alley to have a cigarette. I noticed the guys heading the same way, probably for the same reason.
Not wanting to stand near them, I moved deeper into the alley. We were still close enough to hear each other talking, but because I was around a corner, they couldn't see me. Yu-jin seemed to be taking her time in the bathroom. I pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and started going through the pile of messages on my phone.
As I sorted through them, fragments of the guys' conversation drifted over. The moment I realized what they were talking about, I closed my phone and focused on their voices.
"Where's Seok-ho?"
"Looked like he went to the bathroom a while ago."
"Yeah?"
They smoked in silence for a moment before continuing.
"Man, that woman at the table in front of us earlier was insanely hot."
"No kidding. Her face was one thing, but that body? Killer. I thought she was a celebrity or something."
My heart started hammering the second they brought up my wife.
"How old do you think she is? The guy with her looked older. You think they're married?"
"Her face looked like late twenties at most. Probably just a couple, right?"
"She kept calling him 'babe.' I'd say they're dating."
"Lucky bastard... that body was fucking perfect."
"I snuck a few glances at her face. She had this crazy sex appeal, lmao."
"When she went to the self-serve counter for more side dishes, I saw her ass from behind. It was so round and tight. I got hard instantly, haha."
"You horny bastard, lmao. I wonder what it'd feel like to fuck a woman like that... I'm actually jealous as hell, lol."
They kept evaluating my wife in crude, sexual detail, completely unaware that her husband was standing just around the corner. As I listened, I felt my own cock slowly hardening.
Shit... I'm getting hard right now? These assholes are degrading my wife with their filthy mouths...
Just then, the one they called Seok-ho came out of the restaurant and joined them.
"Hey, Seok-ho's back."
"You two look like you're having a great conversation."
"Ah, we were talking about that woman who sat in front of us earlier."
"Lmao, I saw her when I went to the bathroom. She was drunk and stumbling, but when she saw me behind her she smiled and told me to go first. Fuck, that smile and those small lips... I wanted to shove my cock in her mouth right there, lmao."
"Holy shit, just hearing about it is getting me hard, lol."
"That's not even the best part, dumbass. The hallway to the bathroom is super narrow, right? She didn't want her tits to touch me, so she pressed them against the wall as she passed by. But her fat ass ended up brushing right against my dick. I got rock hard instantly, lmao."
"I'm so fucking jealous."
"She was already wearing those tight **Back Pants** that made me horny as hell. When her ass rubbed against my cock... that feeling of the tight fabric clinging to her curves? It was incredible, man."
Seok-ho fell quiet for a moment, clearly reliving the memory.
"She really was fucking sexy. Her face alone looks delicious."
"Hard to tell her age... but if she's a married woman, she's taking damn good care of herself."
"Even if she's an auntie, with a face and body like that, I'd still fuck her, lmao."
"It's not even a question. Older women have insane sex skills anyway. And with a face and body like hers... I'd pound her from behind, slapping against that ass, while grabbing those tits. They looked at least C-cups, right?"
"Fuck... if I could make a woman like that my personal cum dump, I wouldn't need anything else in life."
"Then go try to seduce her, lmao."
"Did you not see? She had a boyfriend or husband right there. How am I supposed to seduce her?"
"Haven't you heard? Women these days cheat as a hobby. Even married ones have affairs all the time. Just because there's a goalkeeper doesn't mean you can't score."
"Ugh... I'm too much of a coward for that. Anyway, let's head to the PC bang."
They finished degrading my wife with every filthy word imaginable, then laughed and walked away. I clutched my pounding chest and finally stepped out of the alley. Right then, Yu-jin emerged from the restaurant. She spotted me and came over with a bright, tipsy smile.
"Did you wait long, babe?"
"No, not at all."
Looking at her smiling face, Seok-ho's words suddenly echoed in my head.
"That smile and those small lips... I wanted to shove my cock in her mouth right there, lmao."
My heart thundered in my chest.
I should have walked over and confronted them. I should have been furious at the way they talked about my wife's face and body. At the very least, anger should have been my first reaction. But instead, excitement had taken over my mind. Listening to their vulgar comments had made me hard in real time. The guilt I felt was real, but so was the shameful, secret hope that they would have degraded her even more explicitly.
Sigh... Ever since senior Cheol-min showed me **Heaven Net**, my head hasn't been right.
The women who boldly posted revealing photos. The anonymous men who tore them apart with merciless, degrading comments. After seeing that world, part of me had begun to wonder if I wanted the same thing for Yu-jin—to see her degraded by strangers online.
If I told her I wanted to take revealing photos of her and upload them to **Heaven Net**, how would she look at me? Would she think I'm a disgusting pervert? Yu-jin grew up so conservatively about these things... she might be horrified. I should test the waters with her soon. Of course, if she's firmly against it, I'll stop.
"Babe, what are you thinking about so hard?" Yu-jin asked, tilting her head.
"Ah, nothing. Just spacing out. We've eaten—do you want to do anything else?"
"Hmm... I'm pretty tipsy. Let's just go home. But next time, let's do something else after dinner, okay?"
"Sounds good. I'll call a driver then."
I pulled out my phone to summon a designated driver, then sat with Yu-jin on a bench in the city center park while we waited.
