Being Spoiled (3) - Minor
Being Spoiled (3) - Minor
Lee Ha-yul's bold demand didn't come out of nowhere.
This is Lee Ha-yul, after all—starved for affection. Especially craving maternal love, so a moment like this was bound to come.
Lately, Lee Ha-yul's meals had followed exactly that pattern, hadn't they?
The daily routine involved coaxing a picky Lee Ha-yul into eating a proper meal, then going into a separate room to nurse him with a bottle.
Now that role had simply fallen to her.
That was why Baek A-rin wasn't flustered.
"Ah, haha... you must be hungry...?"
Or rather, the old Baek A-rin would have said that. She would have teased him, asking if he was that starved for a mother's love, and casually offered him the bottle.
The Baek A-rin of now couldn't laugh it off so easily.
Her face burned.
A nameless heat rose up and flushed the nape of her neck crimson. The unfamiliar wave of sensation and emotion made her head spin.
It was a perfectly reasonable reaction.
How could an adult virgin with zero relationship experience not feel embarrassed, doing something like that for the man who would be her husband?
'No, I mean, I knew a day like this would come...'
The Baek A-rin before Ha-yul had known that much common sense, but her only thought had been 'So what?' Her frozen emotions had felt practically nothing.
'I never imagined it would be this embarrassing...!'
Baek A-rin squeezed her eyes shut.
Like the myth of an ostrich burying its head in the ground when threatened, she felt as if this might ease her embarrassment even a little.
...The gaze she could clearly feel on her face didn't go away.
- Grumble...
[Hunger]
[Hungry...]
"Eep..."
Her eyelids fluttered at the utterly pitiful sound. When she couldn't hold out and stealthily opened her eyes, Lee Ha-yul, nestled in her arms, was making a teary face.
"I'm hungry..."
"Hungry..."
At Lee Ha-yul's whining, her eyes wavered.
Her heart wavered too.
Now that she thought about it, she hadn't seen Lee Ha-yul eat anything.
While he had fed Baek A-rin porridge, he himself had only taken one indifferent bite when she offered him some.
Considering the amount Lee Ha-yul normally ate, he should have been complaining of hunger long ago.
'He was thinking of me...'
The moment that thought struck her, pity clouded Baek A-rin's eyes.
Both his body and soul were in a state that required heavy nourishment, and yet he'd spent the whole day fasting, glued to Baek A-rin's side.
"...Ah, alright. I'll give it to you right away, so just wait a little..."
"...! Really...?"
"Wow...!"
The two whining Lee Ha-yuls beamed.
Baek A-rin smiled softly at the utterly adorable sight, then cleared her throat and reached both hands behind her back.
- Click
Her chest bounced in that instant.
Even Baek A-rin could see that blatantly rhythmic bounce.
A certain memory surfaced. Her cheeks, already warm from a slight sense of liberation, grew even hotter.
It was during the party they threw to celebrate Lee Ha-yul moving into the Siyoram mansion. She had attended that party feeling this same liberation...
'Ugh... I was seriously crazy back then...'
The past memory tormented her.
Just as Baek A-rin, squirming internally, was about to put her hand inside her clothes—
A tiny hand slipped into her clothing and sneakily snatched her brassiere.
[So big]
"Bigger than my head..."
At that whispered voice, Baek A-rin's hand froze.
When she slowly, creakily lifted her head, she saw Lee Ha-yul staring at the brassiere in his hand with his mouth agape.
Light sky-blue, comfortable to wear, with a neat design. A monstrously huge size...
Tilting his head, Lee Ha-yul buried his face in the brassiere.
The body heat lingering in the brassiere was more lukewarm than expected.
"Sniff sniff...?"
"H-ha, Ha, Ha-yul...?!"
The frozen Baek A-rin finally let out a shrill scream.
Regardless, the two Lee Ha-yuls were companionably burying their faces in the brassiere and smelling it.
Naturally, it smelled like Baek A-rin's body. Because it had cupped and rubbed against her breasts, it carried a savory milky scent, along with a faint, fragrant sweat smell.
[Body scent]
[Milk scent]
[Milk]
[Hungry]
[I like the fragrant sweat smell...]
"Y-you, you can't do that...!"
At the honest commentary spilling from the Confession Necklace, Baek A-rin's face turned the color of a ripe persimmon as she yelped.
Even that was kept to the level of a small whisper, so as not to startle Lee Ha-yul.
"You're not supposed to, to take someone else's underwear and smell it...!"
"A-rin gave me her underwear before."
"...Huh?"
Baek A-rin blinked. As if to show her, Lee Ha-yul reached into his subspace and pulled out something black.
The thing dangling from his hand was a brassiere.
Slightly smaller than the white brassiere Lee Ha-yul had just been sniffing, with seductive decorations...
"You gave it to me as a present when I moved in."
At Lee Ha-yul's additional explanation, Baek A-rin's mouth fell open. Memories of the past unfurled vividly.
- Mister Baek Ha-yul, I'll give you that as a present, so couldn't I please just have one room?
"No, that's...!"
"A-rin gave it to me."
She was struck speechless.
Because Baek A-rin really had given it to him. Even though she was the Baek A-rin who barely knew embarrassment because of the curse, she had definitely placed it in his hands with her own...
"Th... th... that... you've still been keeping it?"
Baek A-rin, the corner of her mouth twitching, barely managed to speak.
"How could I throw away a present A-rin gave me."
And personally, he didn't want to throw it away. After putting the black brassiere back into his subspace, Lee Ha-yul hugged the warmth-lingering brassiere tightly.
"I want to keep this one too."
"What are you going to use it for, taking that...?"
"I want it... can't I have it...?"
Lee Ha-yul pleaded with sparkling eyes. That gaze pierced straight through Baek A-rin's conscience and her heart.
"...Fine. As if I can't give you even something like that."
"Wow! Thank you!"
[Great joy]
Lee Ha-yul beamed as he tucked the brassiere into his subspace.
Watching him with a complicated expression, Baek A-rin fanned her flushed face with her hand, then slowly rummaged through her subspace pocket.
"...Here, come on."
- Slip...
Thin fabric slid down along her shoulder straps, brushing her skin until, at last, her ample breasts were revealed.
Even in the darkness, her fair skin softly wafted a milky scent.
"Wow..."
[Boobies so big]
"...That necklace, even when we first met, it kept going on about my chest being big or whatever..."
Baek A-rin, who had been murmuring a little sulkily, closed her mouth. It was because Lee Ha-yul had crawled over on his knees and buried his face in her chest.
"Sniff sniff..."
"Ngh..."
A cute action, as if wary of something seen for the first time.
A soft smile rose on her face, but then her shoulders trembled as his breath tickled her cleavage.
Her hands, not knowing where to go, eventually stroked Lee Ha-yul's head before slowly bringing the two bottles to him.
As if taking that as permission, both Lee Ha-yuls opened their mouths and took the nipples between their lips.
"Sluuurp..."
Lee Ha-yul mouthed at the bottle several times before sucking with a slurp. The milk didn't come out right away. He sucked at the bottle with more strength.
"Slurp! Slrp... sluuurp...!"
How many times did he repeat that process? Warm liquid dripped from the nipple.
A sweet and savory taste seeped onto his tongue. Lee Ha-yul's eyes sparkled as he mouthed at the bottle, and the previously trickling milk now streamed out.
"Mmlk... sluuurp..."
Both Lee Ha-yuls cradled in her arms were frantically sucking at the milk.
The scene felt truly wondrous.
It was absolutely not a bad feeling.
A warm, soft happiness tinged her heart tenderly.
Thanks to that, she could now observe the Lee Ha-yuls holding and sucking their own bottles.
"Sluuurp...! Slrp, slurp..."
...Were they that hungry? They seemed to be sucking it down too frantically. Baek A-rin grew worried and stroked Lee Ha-yul's head.
"Baby... you'll get indigestion... slowly... I'm not going anywhere... eat slowly..."
"Slurp...?"
The hand soothing his head moved to stroke his back and gently pat his bottom in comfort.
At that, the two Lee Ha-yuls who had been gulping milk without pause gradually slowed their pace and looked up to meet Baek A-rin's eyes.
That lovable action awakened her maternal love. Baek A-rin's eyes curved into crescents.
She'd heard it somewhere—babies often make eye contact with their mother.
It wasn't exactly precise knowledge, but at least she knew you had to praise a baby who listened well.
"Good baby, you listen to Mommy so well... you're so good."
[Yes... I like praise]
[Please praise me more]
[I'm happy when I get praised]
Since his lips were too busy sucking milk, the Confession Necklace answered.
"So good... there now, well done... yes, just like that, slowly... Mommy isn't running away..."
Her heart, unaccustomed to emotion, filled with affection and maternal love.
Embraced by that tender emotion, Lee Ha-yul sucked earnestly at the bottle.
His stomach was completely empty since he hadn't eaten anything since morning.
As expected, the bottle Baek A-rin prepared produced milk without end. Even after filling Lee Ha-yul's stomach for a full meal, there was no sign of it running out.
"Phew... urp."
"Oh my, did you eat your fill?"
Baek A-rin giggled as she pulled both Lee Ha-yuls into her arms and patted their backs.
A gesture meant to induce a burp. Even though she'd never raised a child, Baek A-rin's touch was cozy and soothing.
In the end, Lee Ha-yul let out a comfortable, milk-scented burp and then, drowsy, nestled into Baek A-rin's embrace.
Her smile deepened further.
"So cute..."
Unable to resist the impulse, Baek A-rin planted kiss after kiss on Lee Ha-yul's cheeks. The Lee Ha-yuls, having been kissed fairly in turn, smiled goofily back.
"...Snore..."
[Sleepy...]
"Oh my?"
In that moment, Lee Ha-yul (Body) closed his eyes. At the immediately even breathing, Baek A-rin's eyes widened.
"Did only one side just fall asleep?"
"Yes... the body side... needs more sleep and has stronger urges, so... it's hard to stay awake..."
Of course, drowsiness had also washed over Lee Ha-yul (Soul) just the same.
If he had his way, he wanted to keep suckling as he fell asleep, but...
Lee Ha-yul slowly shook his head. The manifested Authority of Space swallowed the sleeping Lee Ha-yul.
"Ha-yul?"
"The sleeping body... I sent it to Seo-yul..."
It wasn't that Lee Ha-yul had foisted it on her arbitrarily.
Lee Seo-yul also knew that Lee Ha-yul (Body) needed more sleep, and had asked that if he happened to fall asleep first, she wanted to keep him with her.
"Slrp... A-rin."
Swallowing the milk still lingering on his lips, Lee Ha-yul looked at Baek A-rin.
Baek A-rin, who had been radiating warm maternal love, smiled brightly at that silent gaze.
At that answer, Lee Ha-yul came into her arms for an embrace.
When Baek A-rin slowly lay down on the bed, Lee Ha-yul, held in her arms, lay down along with her.
Smiling a little, Baek A-rin gently wrapped her arms around Lee Ha-yul as he buried his face in her chest.
- Thump, thump, thump...!
The fierce pounding of her own heart felt unfamiliar.
The beats, which once unconditionally followed a strict rule, now freely changed pace and rhythm with her emotions.
Some might find such uncontrollable beats and emotions cumbersome, but Baek A-rin had wished for this irregularity.
"...I love you."
"I love you too."
Holding onto that warm presence, Baek A-rin closed her eyes peacefully.
