Chapter Title: Taiji Yin-Yang Physique (17)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Wi Ji-eun had come across the lewd book by chance and dismissed it as a lowbrow novel filled with false fantasies and filthy desires.
Being as innocent as she was, she simply couldn't comprehend the lascivious acts between men and women described in it.
Secretly making love in the middle of a busy street during the day?
Each sucking the other's genitals?
Such things were utterly impossible unless one was mad.
That was why she wrote off the lewd book as nothing more than a lump of delusions.
'Would it be okay if I use my mouth instead of my hand?'
'It looks especially delicious today...'
Yet, astonishingly, the contents of that book were no fiction at all. Her own sister had taken a man's leaking cock into her mouth. And with words claiming it tasted good, no less.
She had thought it was something that could never happen...
Perhaps those acts she considered obscene in the novel were perfectly natural between lovers. After all, there was no way her pure sister would utter such shameful words otherwise.
"So that's what it was..."
Having changed her mind, Wi Ji-eun picked up the lewd book she had nearly thrown away and began reading it from the beginning with fresh eyes.
If this lewd book—no, if this novel she had mistaken for mere pornography truly depicted the everyday lives of ordinary lovers, then it was essential reading for her, who yearned for love.
"Haaah... This part is a bit..."
"No. If even my sister went this far..."
And so, Wi Ji-eun pressed on without stopping, even at the excruciatingly embarrassing passages. They were acts she would eventually have to do herself once she had a lover... With the mindset of studying ahead, she endured the shame and kept turning the pages.
"But this... this is impossible!"
However, at one particular scene, she slammed the book shut.
'Hee hee hee, does it feel good?'
'Ooh, splendid! As expected of your breasts. So soft and huge!'
'Ahhn, don't touch. Behave yourself.'
She was furious seeing the female protagonist start an act she could never imitate with her own meager chest, and the male lead growing even more excited and praising it lavishly.
'Wrapping a man's cock with her breasts... Hmph, bragging about their size? How childish! And the guy... what's so great about it that he loves it so much?! Women's breasts are that amazing?! You pervert! You lecher! Utterly depraved!'
Irritated, Wi Ji-eun hurled the book away, lay down on her bed, and let out a deep sigh. Then, slowly caressing her own chest, she began seriously pondering its size.
'Men do like women's breasts... but with something this small, they'd probably show no interest. It doesn't even feel like they're touching anything when they do. And with this size, I can't do those things from the book... They'd hate it instead. Most guys probably prefer bigger ones.'
'And... something this small wouldn't even register as feminine from the start. Just look at today—Pang Siwoon ignored my signals completely! Flat-chested girls like me aren't seen as women at all! Hmph!'
Thinking of Pang Siwoon soured her mood further, and Wi Ji-eun kicked at the air while cursing him. She had been looking forward to finally trying romance... only to realize today that his affection had all been her one-sided delusion.
'So frustrating...'
'......Can I even date someone with breasts this small? No normal guy would like them...'
'In the end, will I have to settle for an arranged marriage or blind dates? Ugh, I hate that... I want to meet someone wonderful and have a beautiful romance too... Hiiing...'
'Is there really no one out there...?'
Convinced it was all because of her flat chest, Wi Ji-eun sighed deeply once more and began fretting over her future.
After spending a passionate night with Wi Ji-hye, I hurried to the training grounds upon hearing the father-in-law's summons to come at once. I had no idea what it was about this early in the morning, but from what the maid said, it sounded quite serious.
Was he going to teach me martial arts? Or start with basic training first?
Having successfully passed the meeting ceremony, the first day felt promising.
-Smack!
"Kieeeek!"
......Or so I thought. It was all wishful thinking.
The moment I stepped into the training grounds, some old man walloped me.
"Wh-what is this?!"
"Tsk tsk. Your face looked like it was begging for a smack."
"What kind of... More importantly, who are you?"
"You brat! Aren't you supposed to introduce yourself first in a situation like this? What did your parents teach you?!"
"Well, I'm an orphan, so..."
"Ahem... My apologies."
What in the world was going on? The father-in-law who summoned me was nowhere in sight, and this distinguished-looking elder just punched me out of nowhere... My head was already aching this early.
"I'm Baek, the one betrothed to Lady Hye-mae. Pleased to meet you, elder."
"...I'm Wi Ji-han, elder of the Wi Ji Clan. Call me Elder from now on."
"Yes, Elder."
"Ahem. The reason I borrowed the clan head's name to summon you is to test you. You and Hye-ae haven't received permission from the clan elders yet, have you?"
"...That's correct."
"But if you pass this test, I will approve your marriage on behalf of the elders."
"Really?"
"Absolutely. This has the clan head's permission, so don't doubt it."
Oh, nice! I regretted not clearing the second hurdle yesterday at the meeting ceremony, but if I could breeze through with this test, there was no downside. Passing meant I could openly raise Wi Ji-hye's affection from now on.
Without hesitation, I agreed to take the test.
"Understood. Let's begin right away."
"Tsk tsk. Without even asking what the test is?"
"Whatever it is, I'm confident I'll pass."
"Hoo... Fine then. We'll start. If you endure until I say stop, you'll..."
-Smack!
"...pass."
"Kieeeek!"
This was the test?!
I had confidence thanks to my Load ability, no matter what came... but I never expected a brutal beating test. Was this testing endurance? My mind reeled from the elder's relentless fists.
"Tsk tsk tsk. This kid packs a satisfying punch."
But I couldn't just take it lying down.
I used Observation to dodge the elder's fists somehow.
-Smack!
-Smack!
Then, mid-dodge, I noticed something odd.
-Thwack!
-Pow!
This... it's just fast... but the trajectory is so simple.
I'm not adapted yet,
but if I read the fist's direction,
-Swoosh!
-Swoooosh!
Like now, and now again,
it wasn't impossible to dodge.
"...Not bad."
Maybe it wasn't an endurance test?
The fists poured like a storm, but once enlightened,
I didn't let a single one land.
What? This is way too easy.
It felt like seeing the answer key and filling in the test sheet.
"Then I'll get serious now!"
The elder's fist trajectories shifted slightly at his words.
But still dodgeable.
See, just move like this.
Reading the fist's path and his footwork lets me sense the incoming flow.
"Hoo...!"
So I just twist my body accordingly, flowing the attack naturally aside.
This feels... familiar somehow?
What was it... oh right. Rhythm games.
It was like playing a rhythm game with my body.
"Can you dodge this too?!"
The fists grew more complex, but same deal.
Confirm the trajectory, step forward, plant my foot, pivot half-turn back. The elder's fist slices empty air, giving me time to reset.
Hey, this is fun.
Perfect combos kept chaining.
"This kid...!"
But I couldn't keep all the fun to myself.
In a brief opening, I mimicked his fist for a counter. He easily dodged and swung back. An inexplicable catharsis exploded through me.
"Haa... haa, let's keep going!"
"What, you little...!"
Like an endless badminton rally? Exchanging attacks I could dodge and evasions he couldn't land brought overwhelming pleasure. I could've done this forever.
Ah... so fun. Goosebumps of joy.
I threw another punch.
-Thud!
"Stop! Enough! Someone! Clan head! Fetch Hye-ae quickly!"
But why... didn't he dodge?
Huh...?
I wanted to continue, but the elder halted,
and my extended arm felt... nothing.
I turned my head. The red sun was rising in the east.
