The Beginning of Change
I held my wife's hand as we wandered through the outlet mall. The two of us had been shopping when hunger struck, and when we checked the time, we realized it was already getting late for dinner. We decided to grab a meal at the food court and ended up at a Chinese restaurant.
The interior had a rather upscale atmosphere, and there were quite a few customers. We ordered the two-person dinner set with chili shrimp as the main dish.
"Oppa, this chili shrimp is really good~ It's delicious."
"Yeah, their jajangmyeon is great too. No wonder the place is packed."
The food suited my taste perfectly, and it seemed Yu-jin enjoyed it as well. Even as we chatted, the earlier incident kept replaying in my mind.
"Ah… I was just asking for directions…"
Yu-jin had lied. She probably thought I'd feel upset if I knew a stranger had asked for her number, so she made something up. That was just like her personality. Still, the fact that my wife had lied to me stirred a strange feeling inside me.
Yu-jin must have meant it innocently… so why can't I stop thinking about it?
I was quite shocked that Yu-jin had told me something different from the truth. And certain fantasies began to surface. If I hadn't stepped in when that thuggish guy was trying to get her number, would my wife—who hated rejecting people—have eventually given it to him just to end the awkward situation? Or would she have held her ground and sent him away?
While I was lost in those thoughts, Yu-jin's voice pulled me back to reality.
"Oppa, what are you thinking about so hard?"
"Ah… I was just remembering something from the past for a second."
"What should we do after dinner?"
"We only looked around earlier and you didn't get any clothes, Yu-jin. Let's finish shopping and buy you some outfits."
"What about your clothes, oppa?"
"I can buy mine next time."
We continued talking like that until we finished eating and headed to the counter to pay.
"Thank you for the meal."
"You're welcome~ Did you enjoy your food?"
"Huh?"
The moment I handed over my card, I noticed the employee's eyes weren't on me—they were fixed on Yu-jin. Following his gaze, I saw he was staring at the front of her blouse. Because of the heat, she'd unbuttoned three buttons, revealing the pale line of her neck and collarbone. The employee's eyes scanned her exposed skin for a brief moment before he quickly looked away.
Huh… even here, there's a guy sneaking glances at my wife.
I clicked my tongue inwardly, finished paying, and left the restaurant with Yu-jin. Then we headed toward the women's clothing store I'd spotted earlier.
"Oppa, how about these?"
What Yu-jin showed me were wide-leg jeans. Her fashion sense had always been like this. She always preferred practical, comfortable clothes, which meant she usually picked loose-fitting styles. She'd told me she had rarely worn anything revealing since she was young. Because of that tendency, if you opened her closet at home, most of the tops were loose and modest, the bottoms were almost all pants, and the few skirts she owned were either the formal interview skirt she'd bought for her first job or long ones that fell well below the knee.
"Hmm… don't we already have a lot of pants at home? What about that skirt over there?"
"I guess… but pants are just more comfortable for me…"
"Still, your legs are so pretty, Yu-jin. It feels like such a waste to keep covering them up."
"Ugh… fine, fine. Let's look at some skirts too~"
Yu-jin gave me a playful side-eye. I made an exaggerated scared face in response, but inside I was cheering. The truth was, one of the reasons I'd suggested coming to the outlet today was to buy her some autumn clothes—but my real motive was to get her into something more revealing.
I took her hand and led her into the store I'd had my eye on. It had plenty of women's clothing on display, including a good selection of skirts. I picked one out and showed it to her.
The skirt I'd chosen was a black miniskirt made of soft silk. It had a sexy yet luxurious feel to it.
"Yu-jin, why don't you try this on?"
"This… seems way too short, doesn't it?"
"Skirts are usually about this length these days~"
"Hmm… okay. I'll try it on at least."
Yu-jin took the miniskirt and disappeared into the fitting room. As I watched her go, my heart began to pound.
My wife, who had never once worn a short skirt in her life… Today, new changes were about to come to her. The wife who had always preferred pants. The wife who, even when wearing skirts, only chose ones that completely covered her legs. Today, she was finally going to try on a miniskirt for the first time.
While I was thinking about all of that, I heard the fitting room door open and turned my head. The moment I saw her, I was rendered speechless. I simply stared at her for a long time.
The black miniskirt she was wearing barely covered the top of her thighs. She wasn't wearing any stockings, so her pale, firm, honey-like thighs were completely exposed. And that wasn't all. From behind, the small piece of black silk only just managed to cover her plump ass. The silky material clung to every curve and contour of her backside, revealing its shape and fullness without mercy. The soft, smooth texture of the silk created an overwhelming urge in anyone watching to reach out and grab that ass with one firm hand.
"Oppa… this skirt really is too short, isn't it?"
"No way. All the young women wear them this short these days."
"I'm not a young woman anymore, though?"
"At your age, Yu-jin, people would still think you're a college student if you went outside."
"Tch… you only say sweet things when you want something."
"We have to buy this one. You look way too pretty in it."
"Hmm… it's still too short though. I'd feel too self-conscious to wear it out…"
"You'll get used to it if you wear it often. Besides, who else is going to wear something this pretty if you don't?"
"Hmph. Fine, fine. I'll get it then."
"Okay~ Then let's look at a few more."
"What? You're going to make me buy more?"
"Since we're already here, we might as well get several. You can't just wear that one forever, right?"
I saw this as my chance to finally dress her in all the clothes I'd secretly wanted her to wear, so I pushed hard. The next item I suggested was blue hot pants. They were so short they revealed most of her thighs and perfectly emphasized her sexy leg lines and full, round ass. In addition to that, I recommended several other short skirts and dresses. In the end, Yu-jin reluctantly agreed to try them all.
After a very satisfying shopping trip, we drove back to our apartment complex and arrived at the first floor. As we waited for the elevator with our shopping bags, a delivery man came in pushing a large cart behind us.
When the elevator arrived, we let him go first out of courtesy. He gave us a quick thank-you and stepped inside, followed by the two of us. Our apartment building was a 32-story high-rise, and our unit was on the 30th floor. The delivery man pressed the button for the top floor. It looked like he was planning to work his way down from the highest floor.
The elevator began to ascend. I was watching the floor numbers light up on the display when I glanced at the mirror on the side wall. That's when I noticed the delivery man's posture looked strange. He was holding his phone in one hand and had his head bowed as if looking at the screen. But his head was tilted at an unnatural downward angle, and I immediately realized where he was actually looking.
Inside the elevator, Yu-jin and I were standing side by side. Behind me was the delivery cart, and behind Yu-jin stood the delivery man. She was holding shopping bags in both hands, completely unaware, simply staring at the elevator doors in front of her. From behind her, the delivery man appeared to be staring at her backside. He hadn't even noticed that I was watching him through the mirror and continued secretly ogling her rear.
Just like those thugs at the outlet earlier, this delivery man was completely mesmerized by my wife's figure. He could probably see the way her tight gray slacks hugged the firm, rounded shape of her ass, and even the faint triangular outline of her panties if he looked closely.
He was a man, after all. In the end, he couldn't help but be drawn in by Yu-jin's beauty and body. Her charm was that powerful. Even as her husband, I could easily imagine how many male eyes and advances she would attract if she ever walked the streets alone.
While I was lost in those thoughts, the elevator finally dinged at our floor. I practically fled out of the elevator with Yu-jin, my body slowly heating up. I struggled to calm myself as I opened the front door of our apartment and stepped inside with her…
