Changing Sehwa
I let out a deep sigh as I sprayed my cum across Sehwa’s body. It was about time we started trying out different positions, but Sehwa—who showed the height of modesty at night—kept refusing anything beyond missionary. I was starting to get bored of it. Of course, that didn’t mean I was bored of Sehwa herself. She was perfect no matter when or how I took her. It was just the monotonous sex that no longer satisfied me.
Whether she knew how I felt or not, Sehwa was still acting shy like it was our very first night together. She waited quietly for me to wipe the semen off her body. On the bedside table in my room, wet wipes had appeared at some point. She had bought them herself, afraid that using toilet paper would ruin her skin.
I pulled out a wipe a bit roughly and began cleaning her stomach.
“Did it feel good?”
Sehwa didn’t answer. Instead, she subtly showed me her arm. It was as if she wanted me to see for myself the Device that was glowing faintly and humming with noise. It meant she had been so lost in excitement that she had gone completely wild. No doubt it was filled to 100%.
I let out a small chuckle and silently focused on wiping her pale skin clean.
Woooong!
Just as I finished cleaning off the semen, a text arrived on Sehwa’s phone. From Yu Seunghyeon, no less. The guy was supposed to be in the middle of work, yet here he was texting. I’d have to tell Marcela to give him a proper scolding.
Sehwa looked at her phone with a slightly annoyed expression. I asked her,
“Is it from Yu Seunghyeon?”
“Yeah. He sent another message telling me to work hard today.”
“So what are you going to reply?”
“I’m not going to. I’ll just pretend I’m asleep…”
Yu Seunghyeon… what a pitiful bastard. Yesterday he had been so pent up that he ended up jerking off while gripping his dick. Seeing that through a monster had really pissed me off. If things had gone the original way, he would have been happily fucking Sehwa and acting all lovey-dovey with her. But this was all karma. The retribution for abandoning a perfect woman like Sehwa to go fuck other Beast Slayers. Cause and effect. He brought this on himself.
So even if I steal Sehwa away, he should accept it with humility.
Woooong!
Right then, a text also came to my phone.
It was from Yuria. Lately she had been texting me at all sorts of times. It was driving me insane. I had to reply eventually, but…
“Who’s texting you so late at night again?” Sehwa asked, leaning over with curious eyes to look at my phone. I had told her it was my work phone, so it was fine for now, but getting messages this late was bound to raise suspicion.
“It’s work-related.”
“You get work texts this late?”
“There’s a backlog of documents that need my approval because the lab has been too focused on research lately.”
“Doesn’t your secretary handle that?”
“Important things I have to do myself.”
“…Is it from Yeon-su?”
Sehwa glared at me with eyes full of suspicion. Hmm… It looked like Sehwa’s heart had calmed down a bit. It was probably time to start giving her some different kinds of training.
I answered with an exasperated look on my face.
“It’s not. If it were Yeon-su, the text would have come to my personal phone. And even if it was her, so what?”
“So what…? Are you interested in her?”
“Maybe.”
“Why are you being so vague?”
“Is it weird if I’m interested in Yeon-su? You have a boyfriend named Yu Seunghyeon. Can’t I have a girlfriend or two?”
Sehwa pressed her lips tightly together. Yeah, you’ve got nothing to say, do you? My selfish little Sehwa. The way her face slowly crumpled and turned into a pout was incredibly cute.
“Then would you like it if I slept with Seunghyeon?”
She reacted exactly as expected—violently.
“What? Why are you suddenly saying that? Did I ever say I was going to sleep with Yeon-su?”
“That’s how it sounded to me.”
“You’re the one misunderstanding things and having weird thoughts.”
“Just answer me! Would you like it if I slept with Seunghyeon or not?!”
She suddenly raised her voice in a burst of anger. I answered indifferently.
“Sleeping with your boyfriend isn’t exactly strange, is it?”
“So you don’t feel anything about it at all? Fine. I get it.”
She huffed angrily, got up from the bed, and started putting her clothes back on. The way she was flooring the accelerator and speeding off was almost funny. It looked like she had made some kind of firm resolution… Go ahead and try, then.
I smiled in amusement.
“I never gave you permission. You made that promise yourself. Do whatever you want.”
At those words, Sehwa—who had been putting on her bra and panties—flinched. She had realized I was bringing up the promise she had made not to have any skinship with Yu Seunghyeon. But she quickly returned to that same furious expression, grabbed her clothes and phone, and slammed the bedroom door shut as she stormed out.
With one corner of my mouth lifted in a smirk, I replied to Yuria.
Woooong!
What kind of tone was that toward me, the Demon King? What a rude bitch. I’d play along for now.
I tossed my phone aside and lay back, crossing my legs as I whistled. Sehwa, even if you try to do something with Yu Seunghyeon out of anger, it’s pointless. Your body is already completely tuned to me. Playing around with a herbivore like him won’t be any fun at all.
“This is so annoying… He has no idea how much I think about him…”
That was Sehwa’s mutter as she headed toward the Gold Perfume Hotel. She had quickly changed her clothes and come out to see Seunghyeon. With her face heavily scrunched up, she walked down the street until a rather handsome man holding a phone approached her hesitantly. She narrowed her eyes at him.
“Um… If it’s not too rude, could I get your number—”
“I have a boyfriend!”
Her voice was quite loud, so the man flinched and backed away. Everything was annoying today. The people who approached her for her contact info, even the innocent people just walking down the street—everything pissed her off.
As she hurried toward the hotel, she was slightly startled when she saw her transformed self on a large building’s electronic billboard. It was a photo taken in Japan. Out of all the secretly snapped pictures that had been taken of her so far, this one had the best quality. Though it was still blurry, of course.
On the billboard, large blue handwritten-style text read:
The Pride of South Korea, Hero of the World, Beast Slayer Leona — Fighting!!
It gave off the strong impression of a personal fan who had paid for the advertisement. How did they know she was Korean…? There had been two monster appearances in Korea, and she had shown up quickly both times, so people probably assumed she was Korean.
Leona appeared endlessly in the media every day, yet in reality, Sehwa herself was just an ordinary college student. This double life had been difficult until a few weeks ago, but now she had gotten used to it.
The person who had helped her adapt the most wasn’t Yu Seunghyeon—it was Song Jihyeok. Seunghyeon had helped too, of course. He always told her to do her best and that he was always on her side. But it couldn’t compare to Jihyeok.
He had seen her struggling up close, and he had watched her fight monsters that humans couldn’t possibly handle. That was why he understood her heart so well. Whenever she heard his sincere advice and comfort, the heavy weight in her chest would melt away.
“Haa…”
She definitely loved Seunghyeon. He was her childhood friend of over ten years. They had always been together, so being with him was fun. It brought her a sense of peace. But the same was true for Jihyeok. No—in fact, lately being with Jihyeok was more fun than being with Seunghyeon. So much so that she couldn’t even think of any worries.
Guilt toward Seunghyeon kept bubbling up inside Sehwa. Even though she hadn’t had sex with Seunghyeon, she slept with Jihyeok often. She had even gone so far as to buy lingerie wondering if Jihyeok would like it, and she had been the one to initiate first.
‘I’m trash…’
Dr. Cash had comforted her by saying that Leona’s sense of justice was different from ordinary morality… but feeling sorry was still feeling sorry. Sehwa knew very well that what she was doing was wrong. She also knew she needed to clearly choose one path.
But she didn’t want to lose either of them.
It felt like just yesterday she had been cursing at internet community posts about girls who cheated on their boyfriends, yet now she was becoming the same kind of person. No—she had become even worse.
“Haa… This is so annoying…”
After walking for a while while cursing at herself, the Gold Perfume Hotel finally came into view. Sehwa took out her phone from her pocket, hesitated for a moment, then called Seunghyeon.
Tu-ru-ru-ru—!
The ringtone sounded three times before he picked up.
“Hello?”
Seunghyeon’s voice came through. She could faintly hear noisy chatter in the background, so it seemed he was in the middle of work.
“Are you working right now?”
“Yeah. I’m answering secretly from the bathroom.”
“Can you come out for a bit? I want to see you…”
“Um… Where are you right now?”
“In front of the hotel.”
“What? In front of the hotel? Is something wrong?”
“Just tell me if you can come out or not.”
“I’ll be right out. Wait five minutes.”
After hanging up, Sehwa sat down on a bench in front of the hotel and waited for Seunghyeon. She made a firm resolution in her heart. Even if she didn’t go all the way with her boyfriend Seunghyeon today, she would at least have some deep skinship with him.
Remembering what Jihyeok had said, Sehwa felt anger rising up again. She sent him a text.
A reply came shortly after.
Looking at her phone screen, Sehwa was dumbfounded.
“Ha, seriously…”
After letting out a sigh of disbelief, a sudden wave of anxiety washed over her. What if Jihyeok started treating her like a stranger after today? The worry flashed through her mind. But that only lasted a moment. When she saw Seunghyeon coming out of the hotel entrance, she thought, Screw it! and stood up from the bench.
“Sehwa.”
Seunghyeon in his waiter uniform looked pretty good. He wasn’t as handsome as Jihyeok, but having seen him for so long, she felt a natural smile rise to her lips. Without saying a word, she rushed over and threw herself into his arms.
Startled by the sudden action, Seunghyeon gently stroked her hair.
“Something must have happened. You’re even initiating a hug when you used to hate them so much. It really has been a long time since we’ve seen each other, huh?”
“Yeah…”
“When did you paint your nails again? They look pretty. Want to go somewhere quiet?”
“Is work okay…?”
“I got permission from the manager. I’ve got about twenty minutes.”
Sehwa felt a little disappointed. She had hoped he would say—even if it was a lie—that she was more important than work… But she quickly shook the thought away. Seunghyeon was simple; if she didn’t say it outright, he would take everything literally.
Holding Seunghyeon’s warm hand, Sehwa led him to a quiet park with few people around. Then she said bluntly,
“Kiss me.”
Yes, this was only natural. Just like Jihyeok had said, doing this and that with her boyfriend was a completely normal thing. In fact, it was stranger that they had been dating for so long and still hadn’t had sex even once.
“What…?”
Seunghyeon looked visibly flustered, but when Sehwa lowered her long eyelashes, he approached her with a nervous face and pressed his lips to hers. It was a rather deep kiss, with their tongues intertwining. Not satisfied with just that, Sehwa grabbed Seunghyeon’s hand and forcefully brought it to her breast.
Seunghyeon’s body tensed up noticeably as he began to grope her breast with clumsy hands. Maybe it was because Sehwa’s mood today was especially seductive? The bulge in his dress pants suddenly rose and pressed against her thigh.
The kiss grew more intense. Seunghyeon worked hard, trying every possible way to please her—touching her breasts, kneading her waist, or slightly lifting her ass. However, Sehwa didn’t feel excited at all.
‘The Device is quiet too…’
Even if the Device was charged to 100%, it would make noise if Sehwa herself became aroused. It was because of that mysterious energy called Aether. Anyway, Seunghyeon’s touch was so bland that she could think about other things even while kissing and being caressed.
Sehwa decided to be a little bolder. She moved her still hand downward and lightly grabbed Seunghyeon’s crotch.
‘It feels smaller than Jihyeok’s…’
The moment that thought crossed her mind—
“Mmm…!”
Seunghyeon frowned and trembled. Sehwa slightly opened her eyes and looked down. Thankfully, he hadn’t cum yet. But he looked like he was about to any second. He was fidgeting all on his own, unable to control his excitement.
‘……’
While continuing the skinship with Seunghyeon in a state where she felt no pleasure at all, all sorts of clear thoughts flooded her head. Sehwa simply pulled her lips away. Seunghyeon spoke in a trembling voice.
“Sehwa… You’ve never been like this before…”
“Huh…? Yeah… I guess not.”
“You’re being really bold today… Can we go further?”
Sehwa’s eyebrows furrowed ever so slightly. His attitude was completely different from Jihyeok, who turned coercive at night. Had she already become too used to Jihyeok? The polite way he asked suddenly killed all her interest. She herself wasn’t excited at all, yet seeing Seunghyeon with that dreamy, pleased look on his face made her feel a little bitter.
“S… Sorry, Seunghyeon. I think something’s wrong with my head right now…”
It was a clear rejection.
“That’s too bad… Can’t be helped. Okay.”
Seunghyeon’s response was the same. If it had been Jihyeok, he would have pushed forward no matter how scared she was and made her aroused… She felt bad for thinking it, but she didn’t feel any thrill. It wasn’t fun at all. That was what Sehwa thought.
“Um… Sorry. I’ll head out now. Work hard and text me when you’re done.”
Having said that, Sehwa turned around and ran off. Seunghyeon didn’t try to stop her. He thought she was just feeling embarrassed about coming on to him so strongly. With a big smile on his face, he walked back toward the hotel, trying to adjust his still-hard erection somehow.
