The Deepening Ache
The next morning, the whole family sat together for breakfast when Dae-geun and Na-ho began flirting shamelessly.
“Honey. You look even more beautiful than usual today.”
“Oh, stop it, you~ ♡”
Why are Father and Mother acting like this today?
Ye-jin and Se-kyung both felt a wave of secondhand embarrassment at the sight. Ye-jin in particular found her parents-in-law’s behavior utterly mortifying.
“Father, Mother… must you act like this first thing in the morning?”
Dae-geun and Na-ho paid her no mind. They kissed, fed each other bites of rice, and continued their open display of affection.
“Aigoo, you silly boy. We’re doing it because a husband and wife love each other, of course.”
“That’s right, son. You should treat Ye-jin a little better, too.”
“Ugh…”
They were always openly affectionate, but today was especially bad. Even so, Ye-jin found herself strangely envious of the sight.
It’s true… lately Oppa’s been so tired when he gets home from work that our moments together have grown fewer…
In fact, Ye-jin had been left aching lately. Dae-geun would tease and caress her desperately but never take it further, leaving both her body and heart starved for real love and affection.
After Se-kyung left for work and Ye-jin began her housework, Dae-geun and Na-ho’s flirting still showed no signs of stopping. Every time Dae-geun passed his wife in the hallway he would grope her bottom, steal a kiss, or fondle her breasts. They teased and clung to each other like newlyweds. Ye-jin’s face would flush scarlet and she would feel embarrassed on their behalf, yet she couldn’t help thinking what a lovely couple they made.
Their sickeningly sweet behavior continued for the rest of the day and well into the evening, even after Se-kyung returned from work and they all sat down to dinner together.
Once the day finally ended and everyone had gone to bed, the clock passed midnight. Usually Dae-geun would have contacted her by now, but tonight her phone remained silent. Ye-jin grew puzzled.
He’s… not calling me today? Does he not want to do it?
Rather than relief, she felt only suspicion. She waited another thirty minutes.
Still no message. Ye-jin tried to sleep but her nerves wouldn’t let her. Unable to stand the curiosity any longer, she slipped out of her room and headed upstairs, telling herself she was only checking.
When she cautiously reached the second floor, she noticed that the usual pink-themed room wasn’t the source of any noise. Instead, the door to Dae-geun and Na-ho’s bedroom on the opposite side stood slightly ajar. Ye-jin crept closer.
The nearer she drew, the clearer the incredibly lewd moans became.
“Aaaahn~! Honey~♥ Right there…!! Haaahng!!! So good♥”
Ye-jin recognized those sounds. They dragged her back to her very first night in this house, a memory burned permanently into her mind. She approached the door and peered through the gap.
Inside the master bedroom, the couple was having ordinary marital sex, nothing like the twisted acts she had witnessed before.
“!!”
In an instant, Ye-jin understood exactly why Dae-geun hadn’t called for her tonight. She was nothing but a toy to him. That was all.
Dae-geun was thrusting vigorously into Na-ho, his hips snapping with power. The bed creaked loudly enough to be heard in the hallway. Na-ho’s moans were so loud and obscene they sounded almost inhuman.
“Ooooh! H-honey!! Krrgh! Yes!! Harder!! Fuck me harder, honey♥”
At first Ye-jin had been shocked that Na-ho could make such faces, move so wildly, and scream like that during sex. Now she understood. That was simply what sex with him was like.
Just listening to Na-ho’s moans made Ye-jin’s heart race. Watching them fuck made her pussy throb with need. A powerful urge to touch herself surged through her, but she fought it down, turned away from the door, and retreated to her own room.
Once there, Ye-jin pulled the blanket over herself, clutched her aching breasts, and fell asleep while turning over strange emotions she still didn’t fully understand.
The following morning, Se-kyung noticed his mother’s unusually cheerful mood before leaving for work.
“Mother? Did something good happen?”
“Hm?”
Na-ho’s skin practically glowed, and she looked far happier than usual.
“Oh~ It’s nothing~”
Ye-jin, seeing that glow, immediately knew Na-ho had enjoyed a very satisfying night with Dae-geun. Deep down, she felt a pang of envy.
I want that with Oppa too…
With a bitter taste in her mouth, Ye-jin saw Se-kyung off. Oblivious to his wife’s feelings, he headed off to work with his usual enthusiasm.
After he left, Ye-jin went to find Na-ho to ask about the day’s chores. She found her mother-in-law calmly drinking tea and watching television in the living room.
“Mother, what would you like me to do today?”
“Oh, Ye-jin. There’s nothing in particular that needs doing, so just rest.”
“Ah… I see. Then perhaps I could help Father with something? Where is he?”
“I told you, you can rest.”
“Even so, I feel restless if I don’t do anything at all.”
“Is that so?… Hm… Your father-in-law should be working out right about now.”
“Understood.”
“Don’t overdo it.”
“Yes.”
Following Na-ho’s directions, Ye-jin made her way to the room Dae-geun used for exercise. The house was large; tucked away in a corner on the first floor was a spacious room about seven or eight pyeong in size. This was Dae-geun’s personal home gym. Because of his health, he rarely skipped a day. After finishing his work in the fields, he would come here to combine strength training with cardio. It was part of his daily routine.
Ye-jin had never entered this room since arriving at the in-laws’ house. Today was her first time. She opened the door marked with a sign that read HOME GYM.
HOME GYM
“Father?”
Ye-jin was startled for two reasons. First was the room itself. The walls were painted white, and one entire wall was covered by an enormous mirror. The floor was lined with thick black soundproof mats, and the space was filled exclusively with exercise equipment. A large power rack stood in front of the mirror, a foldable bench sat nearby, and the opposite wall displayed dumbbells arranged by weight. There were also numerous weight plates and barbells of varying lengths and shapes, along with many other tools whose names she didn’t know. To Ye-jin’s eyes, it looked exactly like a small gym.
The second reason for her surprise was Dae-geun himself.
He was shirtless, performing lat pulldowns. Sweat glistened on his skin, catching the light with every movement. Even past sixty, the muscles in his back were powerfully defined, his shoulders rounded and strong, veins standing out along his thick forearms. Every muscle in his body looked tight and powerful.
No matter how many times I see it… is Father really in his sixties?
She genuinely wondered.
“Hoo~~~ Hup!!! Hoo~~~”
The way he breathed during exercise somehow looked incredibly attractive. Dae-geun noticed her presence, stopped his workout, and walked over.
“Hm? Did your mother send you? What is it?”
Still shirtless, he wiped the sweat from his face as he stood before her.
“Ah! Father…”
Her heart pounded. For a brief moment Ye-jin’s face flushed bright red, but she quickly regained her composure and asked calmly.
“Mother said there’s nothing for me to do today and told me to rest. I was wondering if you had any tasks for me?”
“Ah, is that so? Hm… I don’t have anything in particular for you today either. Go rest properly.”
“Ah, yes…”
Without realizing it, Ye-jin’s expression showed more disappointment than relief.
“?”
Dae-geun read her reaction instantly.
“Hmm~”
He gave her a meaningful smile and spoke in a low voice.
“Like your mother said, rest well today. You’ve been working hard every day. You deserve a break.”
“Yes…”
As Ye-jin turned to leave, Dae-geun leaned close to her ear and whispered.
“Or perhaps, my dear daughter-in-law, you were hoping for something else?”
“!!!!!”
Ye-jin jumped in shock, her face burning crimson.
“N-no, of course not!!”
Embarrassed beyond words, she practically fled. Dae-geun watched her retreat with a satisfied smile.
“She’s ripening nicely.”
Back in her room, Ye-jin tried to calm her heated body and scolded herself.
Was I actually hoping…? No… I’m only doing this for Oppa… I have no choice…
I won’t fall for Father’s schemes…!
She steeled her resolve.
Following her in-laws’ advice, Ye-jin spent the rest of the day resting. She read books and watched videos on her phone, trying to soothe her restless heart. Half a day later, Se-kyung returned from work utterly exhausted. Ye-jin greeted her tired husband warmly and took good care of him. Together with Na-ho she prepared dinner, and the family ate together as usual before each going about their own leisure time.
Se-kyung discussed company matters with Dae-geun in the living room and asked for advice on areas where he was lacking. Watching her husband work so diligently, Ye-jin renewed her own determination to do her best for him.
When it was finally time for everyone to sleep, Ye-jin went against her earlier resolution. Driven by both her own desires and her wish to help her husband, she tried to seduce Se-kyung.
“Um, honey~ ♡”
“Yeah?”
“We haven’t done it in a while… How about tonight?”
Se-kyung was delighted that his wife was initiating for once, but his body refused to cooperate.
“It’s been a long time since you seduced me first. But I’m sorry, honey… I really want to, but I’m so tired I don’t think I can…”
Ye-jin’s heart twisted with guilt and disappointment at his words.
“Ah… I’m sorry. You’re exhausted and I was only thinking about myself.”
“No, baby. None of this is your fault.”
Se-kyung looked into her eyes.
“Work is brutal right now, but once I get used to it and things settle down, I promise we’ll do it properly.”
“Okay.”
“Sorry, baby. Sleep well.”
“Yeah… You sleep well too, Oppa.”
Exhausted, Se-kyung fell asleep almost immediately. Ye-jin lay there with lingering regret, just about to drift off herself when her phone vibrated.
It was a message from Dae-geun.
For a split second, excitement flared inside her.
!!! What am I thinking again…
Ye-jin quietly left the room. As she made her way upstairs like always, she tried to steady her heart.
Oppa is working so hard… I decided I would work hard too… This is just work… something I have no choice but to do…
I just have to endure it…!
She entered the room.
“You called for me?”
“Yes. Take off your clothes and come here.”
“Understood…”
Srrrp.
Dae-geun’s eyes caught the sexy lingerie she had worn in hopes of seducing her husband.
“You’re wearing something quite provocative today.”
“…I didn’t wear it for you, Father.”
“So you wore it to show my son, then.”
The remark struck home. Ye-jin flinched.
“Does that mean you already slept with him tonight?”
“……”
Ye-jin said nothing. Admitting it would be humiliating. Denying it would be even more humiliating.
“Well, no matter. Tonight we’ll play with these.”
In Dae-geun’s hand were various adult toys.
“Th-that’s…”
Ye-jin had never used such things before. She knew what they were, but felt embarrassed by them. Besides, she and her husband used to make love so frequently that she had never felt the need for them.
“Lie down here.”
“Yes…”
Ye-jin lay on the bed. Dae-geun picked up a small pink rotor and began teasing her nipples with it.
“Hngh♡”
A lewd moan slipped from her lips before she could stop it.
“Your breasts really are sensitive.”
Ye-jin bit her lip in shame, trying to hold back any more sounds. Dae-geun, clearly enjoying her reactions, smiled as he continued.
Really… after that girl, she’s the most fun I’ve had training someone in a long time.
With one hand he kept stimulating her nipples with the rotor. With the other he licked a purple vibrator, coating it with saliva, and murmured.
“Then shall we enjoy ourselves again tonight, my dear daughter-in-law?”
“Hnnngh!!! Haang…!!!”
Once again, Dae-geun’s relentless training continued deep into the night.
