Naked Apron and the Legendary Pungyuhwan
2 a.m.
“Hey, Kim Taeseok. Keep your footsteps down. My mom’s a really light sleeper.”
I raised a finger to my lips and whispered “shh” at the massive 2-meter-tall guy trailing behind me. Despite his size, Taeseok tiptoed into the living room, lifting his heels awkwardly as he tried to stay quiet.
After that insane four-legged beast act on the way home, my body was already drenched in sweat. I was about to strip off the oversized shirt sticking to me when I realized—I had nothing else to wear. My closet was full of dull men’s clothes, and nothing would fit this small, delicate girl’s body.
“Ugh, I’m hot and sticky as hell.”
That’s when something caught my eye on the kitchen wall. A pure white item with frills all over it—an apron my mom had impulsively bought from a home shopping channel.
If I were still the old Kang Jinho, I’d have run screaming from it. But now, my brain was soaked in points, capitalism, and a strange sense of taboo excitement.
“Whatever. Comfort comes first.”
I peeled off the sweat-soaked shirt without hesitation and wrapped the thin frilly apron directly over my bare body. I tied the strings behind my neck and fastened the ribbon around my slim waist.
My back was completely exposed, cool air brushing against my bare skin. Below the short hem of the apron, my pale legs were fully revealed. It was the perfect embodiment of the legendary “naked apron.”
“Hey, Kim Taeseok. You said you’ve got a cooking license, right? Make some ramen.”
I walked into the kitchen and gave the order lazily.
Taeseok, who was already trembling while dumping ramen into a pot, turned at my voice.
“Y-yeah… got it, nu—huh?!”
The moment he saw me, he froze like he’d been struck by lightning. The ramen packet slipped from his huge hand and hit the floor. His mouth hung open, his eyes shaking wildly like an earthquake had hit.
“W-what… your clothes… why…”
“Hey. Don’t turn around. Keep your eyes forward and just cook.”
I stepped closer, grabbing his solid shoulder with my small pale hand.
“Ha… seriously, what a joke.”
A dry laugh escaped me. I used to be Korea’s number one, the so-called “God of Destruction.” And this guy was my party’s main tank, ranked sixth. The same guy who wouldn’t even blink in front of abyss bosses was now trembling like a leaf just because I was wearing nothing but an apron.
I leaned against his shoulder, almost clinging to him, and ran my hand along the back of his neck, which was burning red.
“Why the hell are you making six packs at once? And idiot, the stove’s not even on. That pot’s just a lake of water. It’s gonna overflow.”
“O-oh! The stove—I’ll turn it on!”
Startled by my shout, Taeseok fumbled with the lid, but his hands were already useless. Even knowing I was the one who raised him to rank one, his brain had completely melted from the stimulation—my damp skin brushing against him, the dangerously thin apron grazing his back.
“Hah…!”
His rough breathing echoed loudly through the quiet house.
At that moment, the holographic window in my vision started flashing like crazy.
The gods’ chat exploded at an unprecedented speed.
Playful Pervert God: This is insane!!! He actually did it!!! The legendary naked apron play?!
Goddess Obsessed with Beauty: (already collapsed from hyperventilation)
Tentacle God Who Peeks into the Abyss: If I slowly untie that apron string with my tentacles…
Anonymous Muscle God: (crying tears of joy while lifting dumbbells)
The Playful Pervert God showers 500,000 points!!
I snorted at the flood of notifications.
“See that? This is what rank one mentality looks like. If you can’t avoid it, you dominate it and cash in.”
I kept messing with Taeseok, clinging to his shoulder and laughing.
“Nu…na… I’m sweating… it’s hot…”
“No shit, I’m hot too, damn it!”
I suddenly stood up and, without thinking, swung one leg up onto the sink. It was an old habit—back when I used to drink at street stalls and prop my foot up casually.
But now, as a petite girl wearing nothing but a naked apron, lifting my leg caused the fabric to shift dangerously, exposing the inner part of my pale thigh.
“Nu…na… smells good… hah…”
Taeseok’s eyes had completely lost focus, showing more white than anything.
“You idiot! That’s just ramen with chili peppers!”
Embarrassed, I snapped back, pressing my leg down harder against the sink. A thick vein bulged along Taeseok’s neck.
“Seriously… the number six tank losing his mind over ramen smell—and my bare legs. What a sight.”
I leaned against him again and lightly tapped his flushed cheek.
Then suddenly, reality hit me.
“What the hell am I even doing? I’ve got my leg between a guy’s thighs, wearing a naked apron… Has this body completely given in to pheromones and capitalism?”
With a bitter expression, I opened the system window and checked my inventory. The points the gods had thrown at me earlier were stacked nicely.
“Fine. If I’m already this far gone, might as well go all the way.”
Browsing the point shop, I found something interesting.
Myth-grade consumable: “Pungyuhwan”
Description: Instantly enlarges a specific female body part to its limit. Side effect: extremely heavy.
“What’s this? Let’s try it.”
Grinning, I grabbed the pink pill from midair and swallowed it in one go.
The next moment—
“Ah… shit!”
A massive heat burst from my chest, and my upper body began to swell at an absurd rate. The thin apron stretched tight, then got pushed aside as my once modest chest expanded into something overwhelmingly voluminous—too much to even hold with both hands.
The sudden shift in weight made my posture bend forward.
The chat exploded in ecstatic screams.
Playful Pervert God: IT’S REALLY GROWING!!! LIVE EXPANSION SURGERY!!!
Goddess Obsessed with Beauty: (bleeding from both nostrils while crying)
Tentacle God: Even my tentacles can’t handle that size…!
The Playful Pervert God throws 1,000,000 points!!
“Nu…na… your chest…!”
Taeseok, who had witnessed the transformation firsthand, shot a fountain of blood from his nose. His eyes rolled back as his massive body started to collapse—
Click.
“Oh my goodness! Has my son finally gone crazy and kidnapped someone’s precious daughter—huh?!”
The bedroom door opened, and my father’s voice echoed as he came out, half-asleep and thirsty.
“Shit, hide!”
I immediately dove under the dining table, grabbing Taeseok by the collar with all my strength and dragging him down with me.
A 2-meter giant and a now extremely curvy girl in a naked apron ended up tangled awkwardly beneath the small table.
“Jinho…? Are you cooking ramen…?”
The sound of slippers dragged closer.
In the cramped space, my bare legs were tangled between Taeseok’s thick thighs, my back pressed tightly against his broad chest. Worse, my newly enlarged chest was crushed against his solid arm, creating an overwhelming, impossible-to-ignore sensation.
Our breathing and heartbeats mixed together in the tight space.
I covered my mouth with both hands to stay silent. Taeseok, still bleeding, held his breath as his hot breath brushed against my neck.
The footsteps drew closer.
If we got caught, it was over.
“Thump, thump, thump.”
I couldn’t tell if it was my heartbeat or my father’s steps.
The problem was the soft, heavy weight of my chest being pressed tightly between his arm and chest.
That sensation—
And then, completely losing control, Taeseok’s heated breath started grazing my ear.
“Please… you insane bastard… If your ‘junior’ goes berserk right now, we’re both dead.”
Just as my father’s shadow loomed over the table—
My vision flashed white.
