Self-Awareness 2 (Yu-jin Side)
‘Hmm… What should I wear today…’
Still completely naked, Yu-jin stood in her dressing room for a long time, carefully choosing her outfit. The first clothes she picked up were a pair of loose wide-leg jeans and a thin striped long-sleeve shirt. They were the comfortable, casual pieces she usually favored, and she had intended to head out in them.
But just as she was about to get dressed, her phone buzzed with a notification. She checked it and found a text from Ha-jeong.
Reading Ha-jeong’s message, it seemed today’s heat was no joke. ‘I thought it had gotten a bit cooler lately and that autumn was finally coming… but I guess it’s still summer.’
Yu-jin had always been the type to sweat easily, so she had never been particularly fond of summer. It wasn’t just the excessive sweating—during the season, people tended to wear lighter, cooler clothes, which usually meant shorter lengths or more revealing cuts. Naturally, Yu-jin rarely wore anything like that. She stuck to thicker, longer pants even in the heat, which only made her feel more uncomfortable and sticky. That was another reason she disliked summer so much.
‘Ugh… If I go out in these, I’ll be drenched in sweat… Oh! That reminds me…’
Suddenly, Yu-jin remembered the clothes her husband had bought her during their last trip to the outlet mall. At the time, he had picked out quite a few outfits for her since she didn’t own many, but most of them had been heavily influenced by his own perverted tastes. Because of that, she had never worn the majority of them and had simply left them hanging in one corner of the dressing room.
‘Let’s see… I’m pretty sure I put them over here. Seriously, oppa… every single one is either short or revealing…’
Yu-jin rummaged through the clothes her husband had bought and carefully selected the ones with the least exposure. What she ended up with was a white cropped short-sleeve top that looked quite short in length, paired with a soft silk black mini-skirt.
‘These are the best I can find… My husband really is such a pervert…’
After muttering her complaint, Yu-jin gathered the chosen clothes and headed back to the master bedroom. Once there, she opened her drawer to pick out underwear before getting dressed. After a moment of thought, she pulled out a matching pure-white bra and panty set—the ones she wore most often.
After slipping into the underwear, she put on the selected outfit piece by piece and stood in front of the full-length mirror. She was startled by how much more revealing it was than she had imagined.
‘Isn’t this way too short?’
The reflection staring back at her in the mirror was stunning enough to steal anyone’s gaze if seen outside. The white crop top was thinner than she remembered, and her skin tone faintly showed through the fabric. On top of that, the outline of her white bra and the subtle glimpse of her bare skin beneath made it look even more obscene. Her beautifully full breasts were tightly hugged by the cropped top, clearly emphasizing their round shape and firm bounce. The cinched waist design made her look even sexier.
What caught Yu-jin’s eye the most, however, was her midriff. Thanks to the crop top’s design, her belly button was completely exposed, the cute, straight little navel shyly on display.
‘…This is so embarrassing with my belly button showing… and my stomach too… Maybe I should just wear something else?’
Thinking that, she lowered her gaze, only to be rendered speechless by what she saw below. The black silk mini-skirt she was wearing had ridden up well above her knees, fully revealing her pale, toned thighs. When she turned around to check the back in the mirror, the skirt clung tightly to her hips, clearly outlining the shape of her ass.
‘The skirt is way too short… It looks like this even when I’m standing. If I sit down, won’t my panties show?’
Just to be sure, Yu-jin sat down on the edge of the bed and looked in the mirror. As she feared, even though the black mini-skirt made the inside dark and hard to see, the hem was so short that with just a little focus, the edge of her pure white panties nestled between her legs was faintly visible.
‘…. Yeah, I really can’t go out like this… The top is okay, but the bottom… Maybe I should wear stockings with it?’
Having made up her mind, Yu-jin pulled out a pair of black pantyhose she used to wear often back when she worked at the company. She took off the mini-skirt, slipped on the stockings, and put the skirt back on.
‘Hmm… That’s much better.’
Even though the skirt was still short enough to show off a generous amount of her thighs, the sight of her pale skin covered by the sheer black stockings looked far more acceptable to Yu-jin’s eyes than bare skin.
Now fully dressed, she stood in front of the full-length mirror once more. Looking at her transformed appearance, she felt a strange new emotion stir inside her. The woman reflected in the glass looked incredibly sexy.
“Oh… Hello…”
“Hey~ Ji-hyuk, it’s been a while, hasn’t it?”
Just as Yu-jin opened the front door to leave, her neighbor Ji-hyuk happened to be stepping out at the same time. He was carrying several garbage bags in both hands, apparently on his way to throw out the trash.
“Going to take out the garbage?”
“Yeah… Are you heading out too, ma’am?”
Through the long bangs that nearly covered his eyes, Ji-hyuk glanced at Yu-jin’s outfit and asked if she was going somewhere.
“Ah… I’m on my way to meet a friend~ How have you been lately, Ji-hyuk?”
“Fine…”
Ji-hyuk’s speech was so halting that anyone listening might find it frustrating, but Yu-jin knew all about his family situation and the circumstances behind it, so she didn’t mind. In fact, the kind-hearted Yu-jin felt pity for him and had made up her mind to be especially gentle and kind whenever she saw him.
“That’s a lot of trash. Give one to me.”
“Ah… No, it’s okay.”
“It’s not okay. Come on, hand one over. I’m stronger than I look, you know?”
“Okay…”
After taking one of the garbage bags from Ji-hyuk, Yu-jin stood in front of the elevator with him right behind her. The elevator display showed it was slowly making its way up from the basement—probably because a delivery person had gotten on—stopping at every floor. It looked like they would have to wait quite a while.
“Huh? My shoelace came undone.”
While waiting for the elevator, Yu-jin looked down and noticed her sneaker lace had come loose. She leaned the garbage bag against the hallway wall, bent over, and began tying it.
‘Huk…!’
The moment Yu-jin bent at the waist to tie her shoelace, Ji-hyuk almost let out an audible gasp but barely managed to hold it in. He had no choice—the sight of Yu-jin’s backside right in front of him was overwhelming.
‘Was she always this…?’
Yu-jin, who normally wore loose, baggy clothes that covered most of her body, was now dressed in something genuinely sexy. Ji-hyuk couldn’t pull himself together. On top of that, she usually kept her hair neatly tied back, but today she had let it down naturally, revealing long, silky black hair that cascaded down her back. Ji-hyuk felt his entire image of her shifting.
At that moment, Yu-jin was bent over tying her shoelace, causing the hem of her mini-skirt to ride up even higher. Her firm thighs, already wrapped in black stockings, were now fully exposed, and the skirt had climbed so high it nearly reached the underside of her ass.
Ji-hyuk almost said something to her but quickly shut his mouth. If he spoke now, she would straighten up, and the delicious view before his eyes would disappear. The sight of Yu-jin’s backside was far too captivating to resist, so he chose to stay silent.
He slowly began to drink in the sight of her once more.
‘I had no idea because she always covered up so much… but her body is this good?’
From where Ji-hyuk stood, Yu-jin was still bent at the waist. The short, tight crop top had ridden up, revealing her pale lower back and the well-defined erector spinae muscles that caught his eye even though she didn’t work out. If he looked closely, he could faintly see the pale flesh beneath the thin white fabric.
‘Gulp…’
Ji-hyuk swallowed dryly. The visual pleasure he was experiencing was making his cock gradually harden. As his erection grew and excitement took over, he stopped thinking about the consequences and continued secretly staring at her.
His gaze drifted lower, settling on her lower body. Once again, he was inwardly in awe.
Her plump ass, already emphasized by the short, tight mini-skirt, now revealed the faint outline of her ass crack because of how far she was bent over. Her long, slender legs wrapped in black stockings also struck him so strongly that he felt an overwhelming urge to reach out and touch them.
‘Wow… What kind of ass is that… It looks like the ones you see on Western girls in porn?’
After staring at her backside for a long time, Ji-hyuk kept clenching and unclenching his fists uselessly. Then he noticed his own cock was so hard it looked like it might rip through his pants. He desperately tried to calm it down.
Right then, Yu-jin finished tying her shoelace and stood up. The skirt that had ridden up slid back down somewhat, and Ji-hyuk hurriedly used the garbage bag to hide his lower half.
‘Ding.’
The elevator finally arrived. Yu-jin stepped inside with her garbage bag and pressed the button for the first floor. When Ji-hyuk didn’t follow her in, she felt something was off.
“Ji-hyuk, aren’t you coming?”
“Ah… Would you mind going down first, ma’am?”
“Why? Is something wrong?”
“I think I might have left the gas stove on at home… I should go back and check.”
“I’ll wait for you.”
“No, it’s okay… I’m sorry, but please go ahead. I feel bad making you wait, and you have plans, right?”
“Hmm… Alright. Then I’ll take this one down and throw it out. You can take care of the rest, Ji-hyuk.”
“Yes… Thank you, ma’am…”
Yu-jin pressed the close button and began descending. Ji-hyuk left the rest of the garbage bags in the hallway, went back inside his apartment, and didn’t come out for quite a long time…
