C-Class Hunter Lee Hanna: Acting Wife (2)
For a moment, Taejin felt a chill run down his spine at Hanna's words.
Well, it's not like I did anything wrong.
Convinced he hadn't done anything particularly wrong, Taejin spoke calmly.
"Ah, on the way here I ran into some of the apartment residents..."
"Usually when you smell this strong, it means there was some touching involved..."
"They're the friendly type, so they got a little... handsy with me."
"Hmm..."
Hanna seemed to mull something over for a moment, then said,
"That can happen."
Fortunately, Hanna seemed to believe him. Relieved by her words, Taejin watched as she nestled into his arms and continued.
"I'm not your girlfriend, but please don't see other women before you meet me. For this moment, I'm your wife. Okay?"
"Of course. I have that much basic decency."
In truth, Taejin never met other women right before going to see someone. It wasn't just a matter of courtesy toward the other person.
Once I've been with someone, they suck me dry. I barely have the energy for anything else.
His stamina simply couldn't handle meeting one person after another. Even if his physical strength was no longer at ordinary civilian levels, he still had a body without any mana.
At any rate, when Taejin promised he wouldn't, Hanna seemed to relax — or perhaps she simply wanted to scrub the other women's scents from his clothes — and began rubbing her head vigorously against him.
"You're mine today. I won't forgive any other bitch's smell on you."
After thoroughly nuzzling against him like that—
"The food's getting cold. Shall we go inside~?"
Only once the lingering scents had been scrubbed from his clothes could Taejin finally enter the house with Hanna.
And once they were inside, what greeted them was—
"Ha— Hanna, did you prepare all of this by yourself?"
"I put in some real effort for the first time in a while. How is it?"
"It's so good I can't even close my mouth."
Taejin wasn't exaggerating. Just looking at what had been prepared, it was far beyond what anyone could reasonably put together in a single day. There were things you couldn't easily make at home — pizza, fried chicken — along with various foods known to be good for stamina.
I have no idea why there's rice, spaghetti, and bread all at the same time, but...
Faced with this lavish feast, Taejin's mouth wouldn't close. At the same time—
My metabolism's been running high lately with all the extra stamina. I get hungry fast — perfect timing.
Drooling, he took a seat. Fortunately, once Taejin sat down, Hanna — now dressed again — took the seat across from him.
"I prepared a ton just for you, Taejin. Eat lots~"
Taejin nodded vigorously at her words and began to eat. He chewed carefully through the prepared dishes for a while, when—
"Come to think of it. Who were the people who put their scent on you earlier~?"
The sudden question nearly made Taejin choke, but he steadied himself and answered calmly.
"W-well, they were people who come to the residents' meetings a lot..."
For reference, the residents' meetings were held roughly once a month, and not many people attended every single one. Hunters might have freer schedules, but the commissions from their guilds came in randomly, so matching the monthly meeting schedule was usually difficult. In other words, the pool of regulars was somewhat limited. And among those, women who got particularly handsy would stand out even more.
"D-don't tell me it was those three married women?"
Naturally, Hanna — who had been through plenty of residents' meetings herself — caught on immediately. The problem was that her expression shifted into something far from ordinary when she heard it. Taejin had expected something along the lines of "Those girls did that??" and was even more flustered by her reaction.
"Well... is there some kind of problem?"
Hanna let out a long sigh and explained.
"They're not exactly people with a great reputation."
"Is that so? What kind of thing are we talking about..."
"Haa. You know there are a lot of married women in this apartment, right?"
"I do."
At those words, Taejin thought he might finally understand why the app was packed with married women, and pricked up his ears.
"Those women occasionally snag one guy and pass him around among the married women in the apartment."
"Excuse me?"
"Well..."
And the secret he heard was quite the bombshell.
No matter how superior a hunter's body was, libido could still decline with age. No — given the grueling work, more than a few of them even suffered from erectile dysfunction from time to time. On top of that, there were plenty of couples where only one partner was a hunter. So among the married women in this apartment, more than a few had built-up needs.
And those particular married women were the type who would occasionally seduce such frustrated women, grab one man, and take turns having sex with him — or so the "rumors" went.
"Th-that's just a rumor, right? For now."
"Haa... it is, but most of the women are pretty sure it's true."
"Whoa..."
In all his time as a security guard, Taejin had never known such a secret existed in the apartment. Then again, knowing something like that would have been a disaster for him.
"Fortunately they keep it to a tiny circle, so the rumors never spread far. But if you do enough residents' meeting work, you can tell something's going on."
"I... I see..."
Taejin felt like he'd learned a secret he would rather not have known. Or more precisely — the thought that this gleaming apartment complex had something sticky and sordid underneath left a bad taste in his mouth.
At any rate, Hanna spoke up at his reaction.
"Anyway, be careful around those people. I mean it. Got it?"
"Of course."
He planned to avoid them whenever possible. Sure, they'd probably give a lot of points, but getting tangled up in something like that looked like a one-way ticket to serious trouble. He did not want to get screwed over.
Anyway, they continued with the meal.
Incidentally, while eating, he learned that the married women in this apartment got caught cheating especially often in winter — and the reason was startling. Normally they satisfied their urges with men other than their husbands, but when the husbands were home more often, the frustration built up until they couldn't hold back, met someone, and got caught.
Yeah. That was a red pill he really hadn't wanted to swallow.
So this is the world of the rich?
Taejin sat there slightly dazed, as if he'd just downed a heavy dose of the red pill, then refocused on his meal. People really were better off not knowing too much.
Once Taejin had cleaned every last plate—
"Whew, that was delicious. I'm so happy."
"I'm glad you ate so well."
Taejin held his stuffed belly as he said it, and Hanna replied with equal delight. Together they carried the dishes to the sink, then headed for the living room.
You might think sex would follow immediately, but they spent some quiet time together first. If you asked why — well, jumping straight into sex right after a meal just seemed a bit too horny, didn't it? So they put on a movie, partly to let the food settle.
Unfortunately, it wasn't nearly as interesting as the one he'd watched with Garam last time. Perhaps that was why Taejin's attention drifted to—
Squish~♥
"Hyah...!"
—the sexy divorcée sitting right beside him.
And Hanna, for her part, didn't seem to mind his wandering hands at all.
"Aheung... We're watching a movie. Aren't you touching me a little too much~?"
Far from objecting, she pressed her hips snugly against his and rubbed against him.
"And who's the one constantly grabbing my crotch?"
"Because you're right next to me and I like it♥"
Taejin smiled at her words, and they looked at each other before quietly beginning to explore each other's bodies. Taejin slipped a hand under Hanna's clothes to fondle her breasts, while Hanna unzipped his pants, pulled out his cock, and stroked it with her hand.
They caressed each other, focusing more on each other's hands than the movie for a while. Before long the film had passed its midpoint and was heading toward the climax — but neither Taejin nor Hanna registered a single frame of it. Instead they turned to face each other, studying one another's expressions.
Unable to hold back any longer, Hanna whispered into Taejin's ear.
"Let's do the rest in the bedroom♥"
Taejin grinned and nodded, ready to head to the room.
"Oh, right. Wait outside for a sec first~"
—until Hanna, who'd just said they should go in together, suddenly told him to wait outside.
Taejin was puzzled, but he nodded. In all the times he'd waited for Hanna so far, he'd almost never come out behind.
So he waited a short while, until—
"You can come in now~"
Her voice called him in. Taejin said okay and opened the door, and what greeted him was—
"Me~ow♥"
Hanna, dressed in an extremely provocative cat costume.
