A Changed Sense of Distance
The moment I finished, the stream of messages that had been popping up one after another finally stopped. But for the time being, both Mom and I remained frozen in place. She still had my cock in her mouth, and I still had my cock in her mouth. We were both completely stiff, unable to move.
I had no idea what to say or what to do next. Mom was probably feeling the exact same way. Once the urge to cum had been satisfied, a far deeper wave of shame came crashing over me. I couldn't bring myself to look at her face.
“Uh… Mom. It’s okay now. You can… take it out.”
I spoke first. Mom, who had been stuck like a paused video, gave a small nod. Then, with a wet *schlorp*, she slowly pulled my cock from her lips.
“Ugh…”
Her lips pressed against my hypersensitive glans one last time as she withdrew. A final spurt of semen leaked from my urethra.
“Cough! Cough, cough.”
After spitting out my cock, Mom began coughing painfully.
“Mom, are you okay? Did it go down the wrong pipe?”
I asked while hurriedly pulling up my pants with one hand.
“Cough. Yeah, just a little… cough.”
I instinctively reached out to rub her back the way she had done for me earlier, but then realized her back was completely bare in that bikini and quickly pulled my hand away.
“Um, it… it tasted weird, right? It’s been a while for me, so it must’ve been pretty strong.”
What the hell was I supposed to say to comfort her? It really had been almost a month since I last came. It couldn’t have been mild.
“You didn’t have to swallow it…”
I tried to offer some kind of consolation, but the words came out sounding like I was blaming her instead.
“Haa… I didn’t know what would happen if I spit it out. The quest would’ve failed, right?”
Even so, Mom didn’t lose her smile. She had been blackmailed by that perverted system into sucking her own son’s cock and swallowing his cum, yet she didn’t show even the slightest hint of being traumatized. Was she really okay? Or was she just pretending to be fine so I wouldn’t worry? I couldn’t tell.
“Still, thanks to that we earned some coins, right? And we got medicine too.”
She was right. Thanks to Mom, I had not only gotten recovery medicine but a huge amount of coins as well. 50 coins for oral sex, 50 for creampie in the mouth, 50 for swallowing semen, plus a 77-coin bonus. That alone gave us 227 coins. Adding in the 80 we already had, we now had a total of 307 coins.
We were rich now. We could even buy that 200-coin flush toilet.
“Changjae. Hurry up and drink the medicine. Or do you spray it?”
“Ah, right.”
Several reward items had been floating in the air for a while now. I grabbed the red potion bottle among them. It looked exactly like a “potion” from a game.
Recovery Potion: Drinking this will restore stamina and heal wounds. If you wish to treat a specific area, you may spray it directly on the wound. However, the effect may be weaker than drinking it, so please be careful.
“Changjae, I think drinking it is better than spraying.”
“Yeah, that’s what I was thinking too.”
*Pop.* I pulled out the cork and sniffed the contents. It had a faint strawberry scent. Other than that, it didn’t seem particularly special.
“Mom, do you want to try a little?”
“No. Just drink it all. Don’t leave any because it tastes bad.”
“Okay.”
For some reason, I felt hesitant to drink it alone. Maybe because I received it thanks to Mom’s sacrifice. But I had to drink it all. I needed to heal properly and find the strength for both of us to survive on this deserted island. I couldn’t let Mom’s sacrifice go to waste.
*Gulp.*
I drank the entire potion in one go. The taste wasn’t bad at all. It felt like drinking a refreshing strawberry-flavored sports drink.
“Gulp, gulp, gulp. Haa.”
I finished it in one breath. Mom watched me drink from the side the entire time.
“How is it? Changjae, do you feel any better?”
“Um, I’m not sure yet… Ah.”
She was so impatient. That’s what I thought, but the effect came surprisingly fast.
“Whoa! Changjae! Look at this!”
The left hand that had been bitten by the hyena began to sparkle, and the wound healed at an accelerated rate, like watching a video in fast-forward. Even the dried bloodstains vanished cleanly. The deep wound that had torn through muscle all the way to the bone healed completely, leaving only a faint scar. The only trace left of the hyena bite was the teeth holes in the sleeve of my combat uniform.
“It’s healed! You’re okay now, right?”
I clenched and unclenched my fist. There was no discomfort. It seemed completely healed.
“Yes, it’s all better. It’s all thanks to you, Mom.”
“Thanks to me? All I could do was this much. You got hurt because of me in the first place.”
It hurt to hear Mom belittle herself like that. The reason I was safe at all was entirely because of her.
“Ah…”
When I made a bitter face, Mom gasped and covered her mouth in surprise. Looking at my puzzled expression, she spoke with an awkward look in her eyes.
“Sorry. Did Mom’s breath smell?”
“…It’s not that, Mom.”
That was the last thing I expected her to say. That smell was from my own semen. If anything, I should be the one apologizing to her for making her swallow it. There was no way I would complain about the smell. Did she really think I was that kind of trashy son? Well… I guess I technically was.
“I’m sorry, Mom. For making you do something like that.”
“What are you talking about? Mom did it because she wanted to.”
Because she wanted to? Anyone who heard that would definitely get the wrong idea.
“If it means saving you, Changjae, Mom would do something even worse.”
Even worse? Mom was saying things that could be misunderstood even more.
“Even worse…”
I unconsciously repeated the words, then realized it was a slip of the tongue and quickly covered my mouth. But I couldn’t take back what had already been said.
“Ah! That! When I said even worse, I didn’t mean it like that!”
Mom hurriedly added, thinking I had misunderstood her.
“…I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it in any weird way either.”
“Haha… ahaha…”
The atmosphere grew awkward once again. After what we had done, both Mom and I couldn’t help but be more conscious of each other. Even now, just looking at Mom’s lips made me remember that sensation, causing my lower body to tingle. I could also feel that the way Mom glanced at me had changed from before.
“A-anyway, Changjae, what should we buy with the coins we earned?”
Mom tried to change the awkward atmosphere by speaking in a deliberately bright voice.
“Let’s go back to the base and check first, Mom.”
I picked up the fallen bamboo spear and the other items from the ground.
“Huh? What’s this?”
The moment I grabbed the vacuum-sealed cube-shaped object, my phone rang.
◈ Delicious pork belly.
◈ Expiration: 3 days after opening.
“Ooh.”
Pork belly, huh. So this must be the random cooking ingredient listed in the hyena quest reward. I didn’t know if it was real pork belly, but after eating nothing but military rations for so long, this was great news. Though we didn’t have a gas stove or frying pan to cook it with. Cutting it would be the first problem. It was a happy yet troublesome ingredient.
Next was a small paper bag.
◈ Can be used to embroider clothes or mend tears.
◈ Additional options may appear if used with care. Let’s do our best.
“Ah! I’ll take that.”
“Okay.”
I handed the sewing kit to Mom. It was something she received from her survival bonus anyway, and sewing was definitely her area.
The last item was a small plastic bag. Inside were a few seeds that looked like watermelon seeds.
◈ What will grow?
‘What will grow?’ That’s not helpful. You should at least tell us what it is.
“Hmm, is that everything?”
I looked around for a moment to see if any other items had fallen, then returned to our cave base with Mom.
“Wow! That was exhausting!”
“Yeah, it really was.”
As soon as we got back to the cave, Mom plopped down on the flat rock where she had sat earlier. Honestly, “exhausting” was too mild a word for what we had been through. We were chased by hyenas, I actually got bitten and bled, and then Mom and I did… that. But it was probably best not to mention it. It wouldn’t do either of us any good.
“So Changjae, what are you going to buy with the coins?”
Mom never seemed to have much interest in shopping before. But now she looked genuinely excited. Maybe because of the situation we were in.
“There’s so much I want to buy…”
There really was an endless list. Facilities like a toilet or shower, clothes and daily necessities for Mom, weapons and self-defense items to protect her. Since we couldn’t keep sleeping on this cave floor, I wanted to get a bed or something to rest on. Ideally, weapons besides the bamboo spear, food, and cooking tools too. The list was endless if I started counting.
But we only had a limited number of coins, so we had to set priorities.
“Mom, are you hungry?”
“I’m fine…”
“I’m okay for now too.”
Still, the top priority had to be water and food. No matter what else we sacrificed, we couldn’t survive without eating.
“Mom, drink some water first.”
I bought water first. Even if she didn’t say anything, her throat must have been dry after swallowing all that cum. One 2L bottle of water cost 1 coin. Same price as toilet paper.
“Ah. Yeah. Thanks.”
I opened the cap of the water bottle that appeared in mid-air and handed it to her. Mom tilted her head back and held the bottle with both hands a bit unsteadily as she drank.
*Gulp, gulp.*
…For some reason, I couldn’t take my eyes off her.
Because she was trying to drink without putting her lips directly on the bottle, Mom held it high and opened her mouth wide. The inside of her mouth, something I had never paid attention to before, suddenly felt incredibly vivid today. Her tongue, her lips, her uvula. The way her mouth moved every time she swallowed, and the way the water that spilled from the corners of her lips ran down her cleavage, completely captured my gaze.
“Haa.”
The moment Mom finished drinking, I quickly looked away as if nothing had happened.
…Why was I acting like this? Why was I staring so intently at the way my mom drank water? Maybe that one incident had completely corrupted me. Damn it.
“…Changjae.”
She must have noticed. That I had been secretly watching her.
“Yes, Mom.”
I answered casually, but I couldn’t bring myself to look at her face.
“You said… it had been a while, right?”
“…Yes.”
I had said that. That it had been so long that my semen was probably really thick, and asked if she was okay. …I swear there was no other meaning behind those words.
“So if you… want to do it again…”
Mom spoke with great difficulty, struggling to get the words out.
“Since we can earn coins too… Mom can… do it again for you…”
The last part was barely audible.
