Chapter 2
Chapter 2
I roughly wiped the blood pooled at the corner of my mouth with the back of my hand and approached Taeseok, who was sprawled on the ground. The sight of him fainted with blood gushing from his nose like a fountain was something else.
In my previous life, he was basically a balls-brother I even scrubbed backs with in the sauna. Like usual, I was about to grab his collar and slap him awake, but the moment my outstretched hand touched him, I froze.
‘Damn, he’s heavy… huh?’
The mass I felt through my palm was no joke. His chest was as solid as a rock, not inferior even to my old body. His bulging biceps looked ready to burst through his thin T-shirt. That suffocating heat and the thick scent of sweat hit me all at once.
‘Gulp.’
A dry swallow slipped down my throat without me realizing it. What the hell was I doing? Kang Jinho, why are you reacting like this while touching another guy’s body?
A chill ran down my spine. I quickly shook my head and slapped his cheek lightly.
"Hey, Kim Taeseok! Wake up, you bastard! …What the hell, he’s not breathing!"
Had he gone into shock from losing too much blood? Irritation flared up, but I couldn’t just let my main tanker, who fought alongside me for 10 years in the Abyss, die at my front door.
I had no choice. I shut my eyes tightly.
‘Haa… it’s just camaraderie! Brotherhood!’
I lifted his firm jaw, pinched his nose, and pressed my lips against his.
Smack, smack.
"Haa… haa… come on, live, you bastard."
My soft lips repeatedly met his rough, thick ones. I should’ve felt disgusted, but strangely, every time our lips touched, a shiver ran down my spine. Whenever his rough breath pushed into my mouth, my fragile heart pounded wildly.
As I continued CPR and pressed his chest—
Sliiide.
Below my line of sight, Taeseok’s pants, which I thought belonged to an unconscious man, began to swell at an alarming rate.
"...?"
I shot up.
This wasn’t just a tent. It looked like something massive was about to burst through his jeans, rising straight toward my thigh.
He wasn’t not breathing. The moment my lips touched his, this lunatic had held his breath and was fully enjoying this perverted situation.
"You… you bastard."
"Hff…!"
"Just die one more time, you animal!!"
"Aaaaaagh!!"
My rage-filled full-swing kick slammed straight into his rising weak point.
Thud!
With a dull cracking sound, the 2-meter giant tanker leaped like a frog, scattering tears of blood toward the ceiling.
"Agh…!"
But my own toes felt like they were about to break from the impact. As expected of a glass-cannon body—the one hitting hurt more.
From behind, my father, who had been watching the entire chaotic scene, burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! You youngsters are really full of energy this morning. No need to worry about my daughter getting married. A man’s lower body is his life, after all!"
"H-honey… our son… our son…! Gurgle."
My mother foamed at the mouth and fainted for the second time. Seriously, what is wrong with my dad?!
In the end, I dragged Taeseok outside, who was teary-eyed and clutching his groin.
There was no way I had any proper women’s clothes to wear. I just threw on one of my old oversized black hoodies, size 105, and came out.
"N-noona… sniff… go easy on me. I really thought… my junior was going to explode."
"Shut up and follow me before I punch a hole through your face. We need to buy underwear first."
Taeseok followed with a pitiful expression as we entered a busy street.
But the more we walked, the more I felt the piercing stares from all directions.
‘What the hell?’
Taeseok, thinking people were staring because he was 2 meters tall, cleared his throat and puffed up his shoulders. But he was completely mistaken. The sticky gazes from men, the shocked and jealous looks from women—they were all directed at me.
I only realized why after seeing my reflection in a shop window.
An oversized shirt meant for a grown man’s body. Beneath it, a small, fragile frame that looked like it could snap with a touch. Every time I walked, the neckline slipped, exposing my pale collarbone and shoulders.
Most importantly, the shirt was long enough to cover my thighs, making it look like I wasn’t wearing anything underneath at all. My long, bare white legs shone under the daylight.
To anyone, I looked exactly like a dangerously charming girl wearing her boyfriend’s clothes.
‘Fuck, this is insane.’
I should’ve been embarrassed. I should’ve been singing the national anthem in my head to get through this.
But instead, a tingling sensation ran down my spine. Every time those blatant gazes touched my skin, a strange heat spread through my lower abdomen, my whole body heating up with an unfamiliar thrill.
Was my body seriously set up to get aroused by attention? Or was the Peerless Beauty trait messing with my brain itself?
The gods’ chat flooded my vision again.
[Mischievous Pervert God]: LOL she’s enjoying the attention! That oversized shirt and bare legs combo is insane!
[Goddess Obsessed with Beauty]: Tissue… I need tissue… haa… that neckline peeking through the shirt…!
Ignoring the insane messages, I gritted my teeth and rushed into a lingerie store.
Ding.
"Welcome—oh my!"
The moment I entered, the thick scent of fabric softener and roses hit me. The place was filled with colorful women’s underwear—somewhere I would’ve never dared approach in my previous life.
"Oh my, you’re so petite and fairy-like! This cute lace design would suit you perfectly!"
The clerk smiled brightly and held up a tiny piece of fabric—pink ribbons and lace everywhere.
Ha… I honestly wanted to bite my tongue and die on the spot.
Kang Jinho, the rank 1 man who crushed abyss bosses… now dealing with pink lace underwear.
My face burned red with shame as I lowered my head—
"Oh… noona. That would look really cute on you. It suits you."
Taeseok came up behind me, grinning as he pulled out his wallet. Then he grabbed something outrageous from the display.
"Want me to buy it? Let’s go with this for panties. Wow, these white lace ones have holes all over… perfect for you, noona."
This bastard had crossed the line—way past it.
"Are you insane?! Since when are you my boyfriend buying me holey panties, you piece of—!"
Overwhelmed with humiliation, I lost control and swung my fist at his jaw.
In the past, he would’ve flinched just from the wind of my punch.
But—
Thud!
"...Huh?"
His thick hand easily caught my thin wrist midair.
My wrist was completely engulfed in his large, calloused, burning-hot grip. It felt like an adult effortlessly restraining a child’s tantrum.
Startled, I looked up.
Standing against the ceiling lights, his massive frame cast a shadow that completely swallowed my small body. The goofy grin from before was gone. His eyes, now serious beneath thick brows, looked straight down at me.
"Noona."
His deep voice echoed like it came from a cave.
"Hit me all you want, but don’t do it with your bare hands. You’ll get hurt."
"W-what are you talking about…?"
"Your wrist is so thin right now, it feels like it’ll snap if I apply a little force. Sorry for hurting you."
His large thumb gently rubbed the inside of my wrist where my pulse throbbed. The rough, hot sensation sent a sharp shiver through my skin.
At that moment, completely against my will—
Thump!
My heart began pounding like it would break through my ribs.
I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t look away from him.
Since when was this guy so strong?
No—since when did that massive body look so… overwhelmingly reliable?
This was insane. Kang Jinho, get a grip. He’s your balls-brother. The same guy you went to PC bangs and saunas with!
The man inside me screamed desperately, but my flushed body was already melting at a single touch from him.
This was madness. My heart, which never wavered even before boss monsters, was now losing control in my friend’s grip.
I bit my lip hard, forcing myself to stay rational. A sharp sensation shot through my lower abdomen.
But cruelly, my bare legs under the oversized shirt were already trembling with an unknown heat.
