Chapter 124
Si-woo and Se-hee Noona shared a deep, lingering kiss, their tongues intertwining for a long while.
As they did, a thought crossed Si-woo’s mind: he wanted to leave a mark on Se-hee Noona’s body, a proof that she belonged to him.
On impulse, Si-woo began unbuttoning Se-hee Noona’s blouse, pulling the fabric open to both sides.
He leaned down slightly, pressing his lips against the upper part of her breast, right where her cleavage began.
Then, he started to suck hard, as if trying to inhale her skin.
"Haah... ugh..."
Startled, Se-hee Noona instinctively pulled Si-woo’s head closer to her.
When Si-woo finally pulled his lips away, a vivid hickey was left clearly on her cleavage.
"What... what are you doing on the way to the academy...?"
Se-hee Noona spoke to Si-woo in a whining, petulant tone.
"I have to leave a mark showing that Se-hee is my slave. That way, other guys won't dare look at you!"
Si-woo looked up at the blushing Se-hee Noona as he spoke.
"What... what are you talking about? Why am I your slave?!"
Se-hee Noona avoided his gaze, looking past his shoulder at the ground.
"What? You were calling me 'Master' just fine yesterday."
Si-woo pressed her playfully, as if interrogating her.
"I... I only did that because I drank too much! When I'm drunk, I just say whatever to match the mood! I don't even remember much from yesterday... so... so you should hurry up and forget it too!"
Se-hee Noona barked out a clumsy, long-winded excuse.
"I'm pretty sure I heard it several times in the early morning, too. Should I just count that as sleep-talking then? Hee-hee."
Si-woo teased her, rubbing his swollen cock against her groin again.
"Oh, honestly! How long are you going to keep playing around like this? We have to go to the academy now!"
Se-hee Noona protested with a mix of irritation and playfulness.
Ignoring her words, Si-woo spent a few more moments licking her neck as if tickling her.
"You... you should buy some condoms and carry them around! You never know when you and Shin-bi might... might do it."
Though her body couldn't reject Si-woo, her words seemed aimed at restraining his wild and reckless behavior.
It seemed Se-hee Noona was still intent on setting Si-woo up with Shin-bi Noona.
In that moment, Si-woo felt an inexplicable surge of emotion welling up inside him.
He pressed his lips against Se-hee Noona’s neck and sucked hard.
"Haah... again?!"
Beneath the fair skin of Se-hee Noona’s neck where Si-woo’s lips had been, capillaries burst, and a reddish bruise began to bloom.
Despite grimacing in pain, Se-hee Noona placed her hand on Si-woo’s head and stroked it gently.
—As if she were soothing a stubborn younger brother.
* * *
Si-woo walked a short distance behind Se-hee Noona, using his jacket to hide his front.
Se-hee Noona had a band-aid on her neck to hide the hickey.
It was a band-aid they had just bought at a convenience store, along with three boxes of ten-pack condoms.
"You idiot! What if it doesn't go away by Friday?!"
As they neared the academy, Se-hee Noona turned around and spoke with a huff of indignation.
"S-sorry... hehe."
Si-woo had seemingly reverted back to being an immature younger brother.
"Aunt said she’s picking me up after the academy today, so you don't need to come. Got it?"
Se-hee Noona spoke to Si-woo as if confirming her after-school schedule.
"Yeah..."
Si-woo felt a slight pang of disappointment at being told not to come, but he answered as if he had no choice.
"I'm fine now, so hurry up and go to your academy! It’s going to take you a while to calm that thing down anyway."
Se-hee Noona spoke while glancing briefly at the area Si-woo was hiding with his jacket.
"You're coming home with Aunt in the evening, right?"
Si-woo asked Se-hee Noona, his tone sounding somewhat dissatisfied, as if double-checking the events that would take place that night.
"Haaa... Yes. I will, so just go already!"
Se-hee Noona let out a long sigh, her expression complex and troubled.
"I'll leave after I see you go inside. Call me if anything happens! Okay? I'll be ready to come get you anytime."
Even though Se-hee Noona wasn't pregnant, Si-woo felt a certain sense of responsibility for having creampied her.
After a stubborn back-and-forth, Si-woo finally watched Se-hee Noona’s retreating figure.
He could feel a certain aching, tender, and fond emotion for Se-hee Noona growing from deep within his chest.

Si-woo arrived at the academy just in the nick of time.
He sat in his seat and caught his breath before the morning assembly began.
He slowly looked around the room.
Cheol-jin was nowhere to be seen.
Was he oversleeping?
Si-woo began to think about Cheol-jin’s recent suspicious behavior.
His sadistic actions toward Aunt Gyu-ri.
His stalking of Se-hee Noona.
And even his background check on Se-young’s magic academy and his tailing of Seul-gi.
Cheol-jin’s series of near-criminal actions were enough to cause direct worry and concern as a close friend.
This was also why Si-woo couldn't just overlook Cheol-jin’s tardiness or absence as a trivial matter.
It seemed like he was up to something, but there was no way for Si-woo to know what Cheol-jin was plotting right now.
Recently, Cheol-jin had briefly mentioned to Si-woo that his father was living a double life with another family.
Could it be related to the woman his father was having an affair with?
Fortunately, it seemed his interest had recently shifted to the magic academy and Seul-gi, so the stalking of Se-hee Noona appeared to have stopped, but Si-woo couldn't let his guard down yet.
Why had Cheol-jin suddenly become so obsessed with Seul-gi and the magic academy Se-young attended?
Then there was Seul-gi, who knew the secrets between Si-woo and his family and hadn't hesitated to make cryptic threats.
Si-woo felt that as long as someone like Seul-gi was involved, he couldn't keep feigning ignorance of Cheol-jin’s suspicious behavior forever.

Cheol-jin arrived at the academy right after the first period ended.
"What were you doing until now? Did you stay up all night organizing your backlog of porn?"
Si-woo greeted him, throwing out a likely reason for his tardiness.
"Did anything happen at the academy while I was gone?"
Cheol-jin approached Si-woo, accepting the greeting with an unnecessarily triumphant and arrogant attitude.
"What could possibly happen at the academy just because you were gone for a bit in the morning?"
Si-woo continued the banter, as if checking Cheol-jin’s cocky demeanor.
Cheol-jin tilted his head back and smirked.
"But do you know why I was so late today?"
Cheol-jin looked down at Si-woo with an expression that said he was dying to brag about something.
"How should I know, you crazy bastard!"
Si-woo barked back, annoyed by Cheol-jin’s way of trying to bait his interest.
"You'll be shocked when you find out."
Ignoring him, Cheol-jin continued at his own pace with a grin.
"What? Did you find a bag of money on your way here?"
Si-woo replied with deliberate indifference.
"I'm only showing this to you, so look closely~"
Cheol-jin spoke as he showed Si-woo the screen of the smartphone he had been clutching since he entered the classroom.
On the screen Cheol-jin held out, a mysterious app was open.
There were graphics of adjustable knobs and gauges.
And a large button-shaped graphic that could be toggled on and off.
"What is this?"
Si-woo asked, puzzled, waiting for Cheol-jin’s explanation.
"Want to try pressing it?"
Cheol-jin thrust the smartphone closer to Si-woo without any specific explanation.
"What is it?"
Without thinking much, Si-woo placed his finger on the button shown on the screen.
—Bzzzzzzzt!
Cheol-jin’s smartphone vibrated violently.
"Did you see that? Did you see? It vibrated because you pressed it just now!"
Cheol-jin spoke to Si-woo with a flushed, frantic expression.
"I'm asking what it is!"
Si-woo was starting to get worried that Cheol-jin had finally lost his mind.
"Now~ try doing this! If you touch the button and then hit the hold button, it stays locked on."
Cheol-jin explained how to operate the app as if he were having the time of his life.
Si-woo was starting to get annoyed, but he operated the buttons on the smartphone screen as Cheol-jin instructed.
The hold button lit up, and Cheol-jin’s smartphone stopped vibrating.
"So, what now?"
Si-woo waited for Cheol-jin’s next instruction.
"Ah~ that’s it!"
"What?"
"I said that’s it."
Cheol-jin looked down at Si-woo with a very satisfied smile.
"What is it, you crazy bastard!"
Si-woo shouted, his suppressed irritation finally exploding.
"Puhaha! I'll tell you later, so don't be so impatient!"
Cheol-jin laughed heartily at Si-woo’s irritation and went back to his seat.
Every time he caught Si-woo’s eye during class, Cheol-jin would give him an uncomfortably enthusiastic thumbs-up and a sinister grin.
Si-woo felt strangely uneasy, yet his curiosity was piqued intensely.
He planned to go and demand an explanation from Cheol-jin as soon as the break started.
However, that opportunity never came.
As soon as the bell rang for the break, Cheol-jin would dash out somewhere.
Then, he would return just before the bell for the next class, panting like a madman.
During every break before lunch, Cheol-jin repeated that strange, frantic behavior.
