The Shower Room's Ecchi Revelations
The shower room was spacious. It could easily hold all ten of us even if we all tried to shower at the same time.
We had no intention of taking a bath or anything like that. Just being able to wash up lazily in such a wide space was more than enough.
I peeled off my sweat-soaked clothes and reached behind me.
At first, reaching for the buckle felt impossible. There was no awkwardness like this one.
Actually, the feeling of wearing them was awkward from the start. After all, I wasn't a pervert, so how could I possibly be used to wearing women's underwear?
I even considered not wearing any at all, but that wasn't the case. I just forgot occasionally.
Anyway, I finally undid the buckle and freed myself from that suffocating feeling of being wrapped up.
The fit was off, so it was a bit uncomfortable. Should I buy real underwear? Buying them myself felt weird in some way. I didn't even know the size.
Snap.
...As I was thinking that, a sound of swallowing saliva came from beside me.
"...Harang-ah."
Jeong Seung-ah called out.
"Superhuman Seo Harang."
"Your body is really... how beautiful like this?"
Jeong Seung-ah herself, who said that, was a body that was hard to see in real life.
Small yet perky breasts that complemented her slightly shorter height, and despite that, her hip line with clear claims to femininity, radiating the charm of a woman.
It truly was the kind of body that made one think of an uncle. But in reality, it was impossible to suddenly come up with the praise for a woman just because the body had become female.
Even so, lust hadn't risen. Clearly, my beastly heart was a gentleman who knew when to jump and when not to.
"What the hell? What kind of conversation is this? What?"
Tsk, Kim Heejin clicked her tongue and removed her sports bra.
Kim Heejin's was neither too big nor too small. The perfect size for her build.
Her toned body, pressed close, harmonized perfectly. Actually, even calling it toned was an understatement. It was the kind of figure where the shadows would reveal the curves.
...What was I thinking?
"What are you looking at? It's gross."
Kim Heejin frowned sincerely as she covered her own breasts.
"My eyes unconsciously went to your body because it's so good."
"Ah, really?"
It seemed like Kim Heejin wasn't saying that in error by the look on her face.
"That's right. Even after awakening, we can shape the body more. This side seems to know something about it."
With her signature laugh, she flicked my shoulder.
Her chest, shaped beautifully like drops of water, swayed once following the movement.
"So? Jeong Seung-ah."
There was no answer.
"Jeong Seung-ah."
Silence.
"Hey, why am I being called senior three times? Jeong Seung-ah!"
"─Ah! Superhuman Jeong Seung-ah...! Sorry!"
Surprisingly, Jeong Seung-ah responded belatedly.
Her gaze stayed on me, but her focus was slightly unfocused, as if concentrating on something else.
"Uh, so is my body prettier or yours?"
Choosing between the two! What a question that burdens the listener!
How could I choose here without hurting the other person's feelings?
I decided to put myself in Jeong Seung-ah's shoes.
I was the one being asked who was better.
The asker was the senior.
There were two choices. Senior and junior.
...Huh?
There was no need to think about it from the start. Just choose the senior and be done.
I thought it was like asking if you like mom or dad. But it turned out to be like choosing between leftover snack bags or snacks.
"Is it about the body being pretty?"
"Yeah. Pick one. No pressure."
Jeong Seung-ah looked back and forth between me and Kim Heejin. Probably she just glanced at me out of courtesy.
To repeat, this question was on the level of choosing between garbage and snacks. Since I didn't expect anything, I wouldn't get hurt at all.
"Harang's body is prettier."
Yah-ho!
Enjoying the joy of being chosen, my limbs trembled.
No! The trembling wasn't just limbs! It was an utterly un-Jihae-ye action!
In front of the senior who was all fired up about body care and training, I said, 'My junior's body is even better, right?'
"Th-that... I think Kim Heejin Superhuman's body is prettier."
"Eh?"
"Th-that! I mean! Her shoulders are nicely straight, and her abs are completely carved out and smooth without any lumps! And her breasts are perfectly shaped, so it'd be easy to touch!"
"You crazy lesbian pervert? What the hell are you saying? You?"
"Eh."
Surprisingly, a calm voice came back.
I looked up belatedly and saw Kim Heejin, holding a towel basket as if she didn't care about Jeong Seung-ah's words.
"Let's just hurry up and shower."
"Eh? Are you okay?"
"What? Ah... What Seung-ah said? No big deal?"
I looked at Jeong Seung-ah. She was still dazed by whatever she was thinking, only looking at me blankly.
"I think you are better than me. Damn, I thought your chest would be small, but it's not."
Then she went toward the shower.
I thought it would be small.
It was a praise that was ambiguous whether I should like it or not, but it didn't make me feel bad.
I quickly went to the shower as the sound of water spraying came.
As I moved, Jeong Seung-ah seemed to snap out of it, glancing around and hurriedly grabbing her own towel basket.
Kim Heejin, checking the water temperature with her hand, frowned at me.
"Sorry."
"What?"
"No, well, you seemed angry at me, so I apologized first."
"Ah, really? What are you sorry for?"
I accidentally fell into a swamp.
I had already been hit by this question-answer chain attack before.
What were you sorry for?
I'm sorry because of these things.
Why should you be sorry?
Sorry.
What are you sorry for?
I'm sorry because you did something you shouldn't have been sorry for.
Why should you be sorry?"
Sorry.
After one cycle, infinite loop. For the person being asked, it was a real hell where you wanted to jump out running.
I couldn't say it honestly! If I lied and got caught, an even bigger hell would come!
I thought of it just as it was, while meditating.
"Th-that! I'm sorry my body is prettier than Kim Heejin Superhuman's!"
...I want to die.
Why did that come to mind? Kim Heejin's dumbfounded look hurt.
"Are you getting a headache? Did I hit you wrong? I didn't hit you."
"I'm fine."
"Ah, really? You say that with your mind? You're a real legend. Han Jihye probably won't get tired of you. Congratulations."
It seemed like she was sincerely congratulating, but it wasn't pleasant at all. After all, until an interesting junior comes to me, she was monopolizing the interest.
"Anyway, hot water isn't coming out now."
"Really?"
Jeong Seung-ah touched the shower water.
"Ah... It's true."
"Boiler is on 24 hours, isn't it?"
"Yeah. But the old boiler breaks sometimes. You haven't experienced it yet."
Right when it was freezing... Kim Heejin muttered.
I touched it wondering how cold it was, but I was already used to it.
─Whoosh!
"Uh."
Of course, the contraction feeling when pressing the body against cold water was the same.
"Hah, Harang! Heart attack! Wait a second!"
Jeong Seung-ah pulled away from my body and belatedly poured water on my chest in a flurrying manner.
"No, ah. Eh?"
Jeong Seung-ah's touch was light on the skin. Even though it was supposedly soft like silk, the sensation of being touched in the puffy parts was unfamiliar.
I quickly shook my head away from Jeong Seung-ah's hand with a strange feeling.
"I'm fine. I really don't have any sensation. I've washed with cold water many times."
"Like a sports training?"
"Ah, when I was with my brother, the boiler cut off."
A cold atmosphere settled. Kim Heejin, who had spoken, looked at me awkwardly,
"Damn it!"
She spat out a thick curse and pressed her body against the cold water.
Then Jeong Seung-ah hesitated for a moment and then pressed her body against the cold water without hesitation.
"Ah! Hey! If you're acting so pitiful, I'm not apologizing!"
"No, I don't need an apology."
"You bitch! Why are you so calm alone!"
Kim Heejin, with her shark teeth clattering, somehow washed her hair and body.
I washed my body appropriately beside her. Feeling cold water on my body that had been heated by exercise felt better.
Compared to Kim Heejin's grunts and groans, Jeong Seung-ah was completely silent.
She was enduring it? Even so, she didn't make any sound at all. I felt like sighing.
"Amazing, Superhuman Jeong Seung-ah. Not making any sound at all is..."
"Superhuman Jeong Seung-ah!!!!"
"What? What is it? What?"
Kim Heejin, with shampoo foam covering her, looked this way. No, she didn't look. She just turned her head with her eyes tightly closed.
"Superhuman Jeong Seung-ah!!!!"
"Where did the honorifics go?"
"Superhuman Jeong Seung-ah! Consciousness is gone!"
"What?"
Kim Heejin, who had slightly furrowed her brows while washing shampoo, looked toward where Jeong Seung-ah was.
"Ah crazy! What is it! Hey! Jeong Seung-ah!"
"Huu... u..."
In the noisy shower room, Jeong Seung-ah's groans were heard. She was trembling all over while receiving the cold water, unable to move her body.
Jeong Seung-ah, trembling and speaking with difficulty.
"C-cold..."
"Sorry! I pretended like nothing was wrong!"
"H, Harang..."
Jeong Seung-ah calling me with a face drained of blood.
Among us, only the calm Kim Heejin blocked that Jeong Seung-ah.
"Hey, Jeong Seung-ah. Don't say anything and stay still. I'll get a hot pack."
Whether Jeong Seung-ah heard the words after roughly wiping off the shampoo foam or not, she somehow lightly grabbed my hand. It was cold.
"Harang..."
"No, hey. Thinking about it, just turn off the water, right?"
Click, click. Kim Heejin kept turning off the water that had been on.
As the water cooled from Jeong Seung-ah's hand, the warmth hidden in the coldness returned.
Jeong Seung-ah, with color returning to her face, blinked and looked at me quietly. The silence that had returned was broken by nothing other than my sigh.
"Genius..."
"What?"
Kim Heejin, who had been consistent in her bewildered tone, rolled her eyes in circles.
Then she added in a small voice.
"Really?"
With Jeong Seung-ah having received the praise from the sigh, we somehow finished the shower.
Steam coming out from the body as we had to leave the warm water. It was because the body temperature was higher than the cold air around.
Even so, the weird feeling was gone, and that was good. After all, it's good to finish everything.
Separately from that, the seaweed-like limp hair didn't get used to it, as always.
"My long hair is uncomfortable... I was thinking about just cutting it."
"What!? Absolutely not! Harang's hair is pretty, it's a waste!"
"Ah, crap. You startled me. What? Jeong Seung-ah? Why does your voice get loud when Harang is involved?"
While sharing such small talk, we returned to the living quarter.
"Oh, you're back? You looked fun."
Han Jihye greeted us with steam rising from her body.
She must have showered just now, so her hair was properly wet under the rough outfit. The slightly curly hair, wet, looked like complex patterns.
"Eh? Did you shower? You said the hot water wasn't coming out."
"Huh? I did shower."
Answering calmly while trimming her nails, Han Jihye. Her underwear peeked out from between the dolphin pants.
But right now, what was more worrying was the steam coming up from Han Jihye's body.
The one that didn't come from us who showered with cold water.
"Where did you shower?"
"Didn't you go to the 4th barracks? There the hot water comes out."
"Ah."
Kim Heejin's hollow voice cut through the air, as if she had forgotten about it.
