Dawn with Mother (4)

The sticky, melting caresses that unraveled my mother stretched on and on. Fingers, toes, ears, breasts, pussy, armpits, neck, sides, navel… My tongue diligently toured every inch of her body. By now, there was only one single spot left that my tongue hadn’t touched.

“Mom. Is it okay?” I asked again, checking.

But Mother still shook her head.

“N-no… don’t… don’t do it…”

She was so out of her mind she could barely speak, yet she still clung desperately to that last thread of resistance. I wondered how many times she had climaxed already. Thanks to my devoted attention, she had reached orgasm countless times in a short span. She had always been especially weak to pleasure, so it happened far faster and easier than when I’d been with Seunghee yesterday.

Even so, Mother refused to surrender that final place—the hole between her buttocks. She wouldn’t even let me look at it, let alone lick it. Was that her ultimate stronghold? I had tried teasing her to the point of torment to break her will, but she defended that one spot with fierce determination.

Guess there’s no helping it. Maybe after more time passes, she’ll open up. I had already seen plenty of her embarrassed side, so I figured I should be satisfied for now.

“…Pervert.”

The voice made me turn my head. On the other mattress, Seunghee was glaring at me from under a blanket pulled over her head.

“Mom. Looks like Seunghee saw everything.”

I whispered into her ear, and Mother flinched hard. Her completely spent body squirmed as she tried to cover herself.

“Ah… what do we do…”

“What’s the big deal, Mom? Let’s show her too.”

“N-no, you can’t…!”

Mother’s defenses grew even tighter. Tsk. That damn Seunghee, always getting in the way.

“Seunghee, you want in too?”

“No thanks?!”

After a good night’s sleep, she seemed to have returned to her senses. Seunghee was as prickly as when we first met.

“You were enjoying it so much last night, though.”

“W-when did I ever!”

I got up from the mattress and moved over to Seunghee’s side.

“Hik! Don’t come near me!”

Ignoring her strange squeak, I sat down beside her. Like a snail retreating into its shell, Seunghee curled up tighter under the blanket. Her ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠reaction was so entertaining I thought about teasing her a little more… but then—

Sniff, sniff.

…Hmm. This is…

“Seunghee, you smell.”

“S-smell?”

It was probably the scent of the semen I’d sprayed on her last night. For a young lady’s body, it was rather unfortunate.

“This won’t do. Go wash up first. We’ll continue after.”

“I-I was going to wash even if you didn’t tell me to?! What a weirdo!”

Seunghee shot up and stormed off to wash, fuming. The blanket had hidden the fact that she was completely naked underneath. It seemed walking around nude in front of me no longer bothered her. I chuckled softly as I watched her go, then returned to the mattress where Mother was waiting.

“Mom. While Seunghee’s washing up, should we finish what we started?”

I kissed her cheek and whispered. But thanks to Seunghee shattering the mood, Mother seemed to have snapped out of her trance. She pulled the disheveled blanket over herself to cover up. Then, perhaps to avoid more caresses, she changed the subject.

“Um, Changjae. Are you going out again today?”

“Hmm… I’m not sure.”

What should I do? I scratched my head, pretending to think it over. In truth, I had been planning to go out. There might be others nearby, after all. A quick scouting run. And if someone was close by, it would be better to deal with them where Mother couldn’t see. I wasn’t exactly thrilled about killing, but this was unavoidable. In that case, doing it out of her sight was far preferable.

Yet seeing her anxious expression made my resolve waver. She probably just wanted to stay with me. Especially after what happened yesterday.

“I’m still deciding. I do want to look around a bit. We don’t know if there are other people nearby or what might be in the area.”

“Today… can’t you just not go?”

Just as I thought. Mother’s voice trembled with unease. The hand gripping my arm shook pitifully.

“Hmm… Then maybe I won’t?”

I answered with as light a smile as I could manage. When I so easily agreed, Mother’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Is that really okay?”

“Yeah. But in return, you’ll have to help me gather lots of coins, Mom?”

“Ah… okay… I’ll try my best.”

Understanding what I meant, Mother shyly lowered her head. Honestly, I had already been thinking we should stay at the base for a while. Both Mother and Seunghee were completely defenseless. Even if I gave them the pistol I got yesterday, I doubted they could actually shoot a person. They probably couldn’t pull the trigger at all.

If I encountered dangerous people outside and took care of them, that would be fine. But if a threat came here while I was gone, it would be over. Plus, that man had fired his gun here yesterday—someone might have heard the shots. They could even be watching us right now. Moving around carelessly might only make things more dangerous.

In that case, holing up in the base and farming coins for a while might be the safest option. And with the added bonus of spending intimate time with Mother, the scales in my mind tipped instantly in that direction.

“In that spirit, Mom, about what I mentioned earlier…”

“Absolutely not!”

Mother cut me off before I could even finish. Aww. I could have made her feel so good. What a shame.

“Before that, Changjae, should we eat something first?”

Mother quickly changed the subject before I could say anything else inappropriate.

“We haven’t eaten anything since last night, right? Aren’t you hungry?”

“A little.”

I had been starving ever since Seungpil died yesterday. I was fine, but I couldn’t let Mother go hungry.

“Then what would you like to eat, Mom?”

“What about you, Changjae?”

I grabbed my phone. Making something from scratch sounded like a hassle, so I planned to order ready-made food with coins. ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠That’s when the phone, which ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠had been quiet until now, chimed with a new alert.

Mother and I looked at each other. Right, of course. I had done it purely out of genuine desire this time without thinking about coins, so I’d forgotten for a moment.

The system messages then poured out like water bursting from a clogged drain.

“Ah.”

The system messages displayed everything without the slightest filter. Thanks to that, Mother’s face flushed red again with shame. Fifteen orgasms, huh? That’s more than with Seunghee. How does the system even count them? Does it include the tiny ones that are hard to notice from the outside? Seeing it tally up to fifteen, maybe it does.

But the messages weren’t finished yet.

The system even leaked information I never expected.

“…Ah.”

The look on Mother’s face was pure mortification now that her secret erogenous zones had been exposed.

“Th-that’s not true, Changjae!”

“So Mom really likes it when I touch her armpits…”

“I said that’s not it!”

“I’m just kidding, Mom.”

She looked like she was about to cry, so I couldn’t tease her any further. There was nothing to be that embarrassed about. I could already tell most of it from her reactions anyway.

…Still. Armpits, back, ears. I’ll have to remember that.

“Mom, what do you want to eat?”

Mother had turned into a snail ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠mode just like Seunghee, completely buried under the blanket.

“Uuu… I don’t really feel like eating…”

“Come on, don’t be like that.”

I sat down beside the dejected Mother and started browsing the menu. Somehow, this felt exactly like ordering delivery after sex at a motel.

“Sushi, black bean noodles, fried chicken, pizza… Looking at this, it really does feel like delivery food.”

“That stuff isn’t good for you. It’s expensive for no reason.”

I wasn’t sure about the health part, but it was definitely expensive. Prices ranged from at least 10 coins to 100 coins. One meal cost as much as ten kilograms of rice. We had gathered a decent amount of coins by now, but we couldn’t just spend them recklessly. What should we do?

“Instead of that, Changjae, how about we build a kitchen in here?”

“A kitchen?”

“Yeah. Then Mom can cook for you. Buying ingredients would be much cheaper, right?”

I glanced around the base. It was a bleak cave equipped with only the bare minimum for survival. The only light came from a single small bulb. Two frameless mattresses for beds, a makeshift toilet, a makeshift shower—that was it.

“Hmm…”

At first, I had considered moving the base to a safer location. There were plenty of dangerous animals around here, and even monsters like the Tyrannosaurus that we couldn’t possibly fight. But did a truly safe place even exist on this island? And even if we somehow found one, getting Mother and Seunghee there safely would be another huge problem. The risk was too great.

Risking danger to reach safety—wasn’t that putting the cart before the horse? In that case, maybe it was better to firmly establish our territory right here. We could renovate this cave into a proper living space and strengthen the defenses outside. Then, even if I left Mother at the base, I might be able to venture out with peace of mind.

“Mom. Should we renovate the base while we have the chance?”

“Renovate the base?”

“Yes. We can’t do anything too fancy, but we should be able to make it feel like a studio apartment.”

“Really?”

We currently had 3,620 coins. That was more than enough to level the cave floor and walls and install basic living facilities. We could hoard them to buy a gun, but that would make our quality of life drop too much. I didn’t mind, but I didn’t want to force that kind of life on Mother. Besides, bullets were ridiculously expensive.

“Still, renovating the base will cost a lot of coins. Is it okay to spend this much?”

The coins were mine, but they were also Mother’s. It was only right to ask before using them. Of course, she would probably tell me to do whatever I wanted.

“Yeah. Do whatever you want, Changjae.”

Just as I expected. But what she said next caught me completely off guard.

“And… we can always earn more coins later, right?”

Mother gently took my hand and whispered with a sweet voice.

“…Mom.”

Even while blushing with embarrassment, the courage it took for her to say those words made my heart boil with heat once again.
