Beige, and White (2)
After that day, we didn’t have sex all that often. About three times a week. Each time, usually three or four rounds. Just the usual amount. Even if Seo Haeun had opened her heart to me, life itself hadn’t really changed much. Aside from her cooking for me now and then and us touching each other more in public, everything stayed the same as always.
Hinami still contacted me often, but she was busy all month and never had time to meet. On the rare day she was free, I happened to be busy instead. She got furious enough to make me flinch, but when I promised to bring Haeun along next time, she calmed down right away. Well… keeping a pet really does cost a lot of money, so it couldn’t be helped. I had to earn money too. There was only so much she could make from YouTube.
“…Haa.”
Just as I’d hinted to her before, I scraped together every last bit of cash and bought the gym someone had put up for sale. Of course, an unemployed guy like me had nowhere to get a loan, but thankfully an old senior clapped me on the shoulder and lent me the money, calling it his holiday bonus. He joked that if I ever got married he’d skip the cash gift and just raid the buffet instead… but that was just the kind of person he was. It made me think that back when I was playing baseball, I’d at least lived like a decent human being. Of course, now… I’d drifted pretty far from that. My senior probably would too. If he knew what I’d done, he wouldn’t have said anything so cool. Still, that didn’t mean I planned to start living like an honest man now.
“If it goes under… well. It won’t, right?”
Once all the paperwork was done, I had to admit I felt a little nervous. If it failed, I’d really be out on the street starving. No matter how much Seo Haeun depended on me, there was no guarantee she’d feed a broke man. The last hope would be Hinami… but who knew? Would that woman still like a guy who’d gone bankrupt? I didn’t think so. Of course, I didn’t actually believe it would fail. The gym had been running fine until the owner’s personal circumstances forced them to sell, so I’d gotten it at a good price. I had my PT certification, plenty of connections, and once I planted Seo Haeun there, most guys would keep coming back. Even with all those advantages, if some natural disaster struck and it still went under… then it was just fate. Getting my hands on Seo Haeun in the first place had already been an absurd stroke of luck stacked on top of luck.
“…You’re back?”
“Yeah.”
She was the kind of person starved for affection. The way she greeted me like this every time I came home, almost trembling with separation anxiety, was another ridiculous stroke of luck. If it went under, then that was just how my life would be. I’d already lost my pitching arm and retired, yet I was still living well. A few hundred million won wasn’t going to kill me.
“Um… dinner and… a bath…”
“Bath first.”
“…Okay.”
Anyway, even if it failed, it wouldn’t happen overnight. Until then, I might as well enjoy the life I hadn’t been able to enjoy during rehab. I turned on the bathwater and got in first, waiting for her. Lately, whenever either of us went out and came back, we almost always bathed together. I liked bathing, and she liked bathing with me. Since we both enjoyed it…
“…I’m coming in.”
She opened the door a little timidly, as if she’d sensed my mood wasn’t great. Even after seeing it so many times, her body still took my breath away. It looked a little firmer than when I first saw it. Her breasts were definitely bigger too. Maybe from all the touching. Or maybe because I’d been feeding her properly. Either way, I didn’t need to know the reason.
“Haa…”
She lowered herself onto my lap while I sat with my arms resting on the edge of the tub. The moment that soft sensation touched my skin, every stray thought vanished and excitement took over. Honestly, at times like this I wondered why I even bothered trying to make money. Just staying home and fucking all day felt like the most natural way for a human to live. Of course, if we did that, even she would eventually get bored of sex too.
“…Did you finish everything?”
“Yeah. Everything that needed doing. The place opens next week. The facilities didn’t really need any work, and I already hired staff…”
“So… I just need to start working there too?”
“Yeah. Front desk from afternoon to evening on weekdays. When you’re done we can clean up together, come home, and have dinner.”
“…Okay.”
That was why I had to work—to keep some life in things. I’d work my share, and even if I just had her do simple front-desk duty at the gym, she’d more than earn her pay. Whether I actually paid her or not didn’t really matter, but the more financially tangled we became, the harder it would be for her to cut things off. There was nothing bad about that. The more entangled we were, the better.
“Oh, what did you do while I was gone?”
“I told you. I met up with some friends for a bit… then came back and rested.”
While I ran my hands over her breasts—now bound to me by both body and money—I started prying into Seo Haeun’s social life too. I nibbled at her flushed ears, careful not to make too much noise in the still water.
“What did you talk about with your friends?”
“Just… asked how everyone was doing…”
“So, did you say you were doing well?”
“…Yeah.”
I whispered against her hesitant ear while my hands kept moving in a slightly lewd way. It was an ordinary conversation—neither romantic nor particularly dirty—but the touch made it a little dirty anyway.
“Did you tell them who you’re seeing or anything?”
“…I did.”
“What did you say?”
“…That I got a boyfriend.”
I carefully picked apart the version of her that existed when I wasn’t around.
“What are you talking about? You don’t have a boyfriend.”
“It’s just… that’s what people say. …Idiot.”
“…Right. So, what else did you say?”
“They kept asking this and that…”
“And?”
“I… told them a few things…”
Her toes kept fidgeting. She looked restless, and I wanted to hear the rest.
“What kind of things? Why are you hiding it?”
“…I don’t know, just…”
“Did you talk about anything dirty?”
“…”
Women her age, when they got together and talked about men, usually ended up on that topic anyway.
“Why? You can talk about it. Did you say something you shouldn’t have?”
“It’s not that… it’s just embarrassing… Hey, stop pinching…!”
“What’s there to be embarrassed about between us?”
I pinched her nipple while she kept protesting and bit down on her ear. The once-calm water started to ripple. I pressed firmly on her lower belly, where the softness had tightened into faint muscle.
“They just asked if I had a boyfriend and… if we’d done it. So I said yes.”
“Done what.”
“…Sex. Happy? Do I really have to say it out loud?”
At this point, what was there to be embarrassed about? We’d already done things no one else could ever see, yet she was acting like some kid who’d just started dating.
“So… what kind of sex stories did you tell them?”
“I don’t know… idiot.”
“Did you talk about my dick? …That’d make me a little embarrassed too.”
“…”
I rubbed my now-hard cock against her ass and pulled her squirming body into my arms.
“You can’t just go around talking about other people’s dicks. It’s the same as if I went around telling people how much you turn me on.”
“I do tell people. You do too… with Hinami.”
“…I don’t go into that much detail with her either. I just told her how we met and that you’re better.”
“…”
I stroked her slightly sulky head.
“…I told them your dick is big too.”
“Because they asked?”
“We just… already talked about dirty stuff a lot. So when it came up, I got swept along…”
I grabbed her chin, still mumbling, and turned her face toward me.
“So… did you say I’m good at it too?”
“…Yeah.”
“How?”
“…That you’re really strong, tall, and we usually do it three or four times… They were surprised… Hey, don’t lift me, don’t lift me…!”
“You said I’m strong. You did.”
I finally got an honest answer out of her, so I grabbed her body and lifted her up.
“It’s slippery! What if we fall…!”
“…Who’s doing it here?”
“Hey…!”
I hooked my arms under her firm thighs, pinned her arms so she couldn’t cover her breasts or crotch, and stepped out of the slippery tub. After a quick wipe of our feet, I carried her to the wide sofa.
“If you bragged to your friends like that… shouldn’t you be enjoying it now?”
“That’s… Ah, hey, Juhyuk, I, ah…!”
I watched her face turn bright red in the full-length mirror and pushed straight in without any foreplay. Deep.
“Eut, ugh, eu…uu……♡”
With nothing but water inside her. Holding a woman I liked and fucking her however I wanted. …Honestly, even if everything went under, as long as I didn’t lose her, it would be fine.
“Haa… ha…ah……”
Her beige hair, wet from the bath. Her full breasts covered in kiss marks. That lewd slit that got soaking wet with just a little touch. All of it was mine.
“…Turn around. I’ll kiss you.”
“…”
Those damp eyes. Those restless lips. That nose. All of it belonged only to me.
“Mm… chu…uu…”
I had no idea how long this woman would stay infatuated with me. She might come to her senses tomorrow. Or she might stay like this for years. So while it was still uncertain, I had to enjoy it enough. I had to mark her thoroughly. With my scent.
“…Pha. Haa. Haa……♡”
Even if she someday came to her senses and tried to shake me off, I’d make sure she could never erase me. I’d carve my preferences into every corner of her body, leave marks that only I could make, so no one else could ever touch her. Even if I went bankrupt, she’d have no choice but to cling to me.
