Cute Revenge
Now that some time had passed, it should be fine to wake her up. After checking the time, I got up and looked down at Sua lying beside me. She slept with both hands neatly clasped over her chest, her soft breathing steady and adorable. She hadn't stirred at all, so she must have been exhausted.
To wake her, I moved closer and spotted her phone that had fallen under the seat. It must have slipped out while she slept. I should pick it up so she wouldn't lose it later.
I carefully retrieved the phone without waking her, but curiosity got the better of me. Maybe just a quick peek?
I knew it was a sleazy thing to do, but I couldn't resist. Bringing the phone close to her face, the lock screen unlocked instantly.
What the hell...
The screen was filled with text. Had she been reading something? Boring, I thought, about to turn it off when I froze.
There was a word on Sua's phone that shouldn't have been there.
Gulp. Swallowing hard, I read the text on the screen.
The title read [How to Have Your First Time Without It Hurting], followed by detailed explanations.
No way. Why is she looking this up?
At the same time, I decided: I had to pretend I never saw it.
I carefully slipped the phone back into her pocket. But my lips kept twitching. The urge to laugh was impossible to hold back.
I'd been steadily ramping up our physical contact to prepare her for sex, but it turns out Sua had already figured out my intentions. And she'd even looked it up online to study ahead. It was so like her—cute and admirable.
Let's just pretend I don't know.
If I acted like I knew, she might stop doing these adorable things.
Suppressing my pounding heart, I carefully lifted her left hand toward me. Using the back of her hand as a canvas, I drew circles, triangles, and stars with my finger, tickling her lightly.
Squeeze. Her hand suddenly gripped mine tightly.
Sua sat up, stretching, still holding my hand. She stared at me blankly for a moment before coming to her senses.
"Is it time already?"
"Yeah. Let's go."
I tried to get out of the car, but Sua's grip stopped me. Looking between her and my right hand, I said,
"What are you doing?"
"What do you mean?"
"You have to let go if you want me to get out."
"Oh... I was holding it..."
She must still be half-asleep. Our Sua takes a while to load after waking up.
Even when I told her to let go, Sua didn't release my hand.
"Hehe."
Instead, she looked at me and grinned.
When she smiles like that, it really makes me want to rape her.
Holding my hand now seemed completely natural to her. It was a far cry from when she used to sweat nervously the first time.
"Oppa, I want to do something."
"What?"
"Will you let me?"
"If I don't, you won't let go of my hand, right?"
She was already holding me hostage, and she had the nerve to ask? I snorted in disbelief.
Sua brought my hand to her cheek and planted a kiss on the back of it. A lipstick mark matching her tint appeared on my skin.
Satisfied, she let go of my hand and said,
"Keep it like that for the whole day."
"Then how am I supposed to wash my hands after peeing?"
"Ah... I didn't think of that... But you don't wash your hands after going to the bathroom anyway, Oppa."
This bitch? She's done for.
I'll go to the bathroom, not wash my hands, and then touch her pussy and mouth with them.
"Oh? You just woke up and you're already acting cocky? Did you see me not washing my hands after peeing? Want me to show you what it's really like?"
"It was just a joke. Hehe."
She burst into laughter, apparently pleased with my reaction.
Sua's been getting more playful lately. Proof that she's comfortable with me psychologically.
"Then let's just do it until lunch."
"No."
"You made me wear a band-aid on my neck yesterday with your kiss. This is my revenge. It's give and take, right?"
Sua was referring to the hickey incident.
For me, it was something I did because it turned me on, but it must have been tough for her. If it were Kang Suho, he would've asked about the band-aid... I can imagine her struggling to come up with excuses to hide that it was a hickey.
"Feel what I felt."
It wasn't really something that would inconvenience me much. If someone asked what the mark was, I'd proudly say a girl gave it to me. Sua knew me well enough to know I wouldn't get flustered over something like this.
The fact that she still did it... probably just because she wanted to do it to me.
Cute.
"Fine. I'll just avoid washing that hand."
I answered nonchalantly and deliberately brought my lips to the back of my hand. Then I gave it a quick kiss.
It felt like an indirect kiss with her, which was nice.
"Eek! O-Oppa! Why did you kiss there... Ugh..."
She seemed more embarrassed than I was.
"Why? It's my own hand I'm kissing. Did you have some dirty thoughts?"
Getting all worked up over an indirect kiss like an amateur. This is the same girl whose breasts I sucked on during our kiss.
Suddenly, I wanted to slip my hand under her skirt and touch between her legs. Maybe my actions just now had made her panties a little wet? While feeling aroused from our kiss.
Since she's starting to awaken sexually, it's entirely possible.
"Hah! Do you think I'm you? Absolutely not!"
Despite her words, her face flushed as she fanned herself repeatedly.
I liked playful Sua too, but I preferred the teased version even more.
"You're a hundred years too early to tease me, kid."
"God, you're so childish... Hmph!"
Seeing my triumphant expression, Sua got out of the car with an exasperated look.
She walked off confidently, then stopped and turned back.
What now?
I stayed in the car watching her. She stomped the ground hard with her foot, clearly annoyed.
Now that I thought about it, she wanted to enter school together, but since I didn't follow, she got pissed.
She was fine leaving first when she was angry... Seriously.
Stomping wasn't like Sua at all. But even though she was angry, her desire to walk with me was obvious, making me smile.
"Please be my girlfriend!"
"Um... I'm sorry! I already like someone else..."
As usual, Jeong Sua, who had received another confession, rejected it and headed back to class with tired steps.
These incidents had been happening more frequently lately.
From what others saw, her face was... embarrassingly enough, quite pretty.
So she'd been receiving confessions from guys since she was young.
But recently, the frequency had increased noticeably. It felt like it started right after she began dating Oppa.
"Haa..."
Because of this, Sua was incredibly stressed.
The guys confessing all poured their genuine feelings into it, and rejecting them each time made her feel guilty toward them.
She knew it wasn't her fault to reject them, but being soft-hearted, it wasn't easy for her.
"Sua! How did it go? Did you accept the confession? Or... reject it again?"
"The senior who confessed to you is famous for being popular in the baseball club. Hurry up and tell us the result!"
As soon as she entered the classroom, friends who loved gossip gathered around her. The news that she'd received a confession had spread through the class.
Jeong Sua, known among first-years for being pretty and pure. It was a well-known fact that she regularly received confessions from guys.
So whenever she came back from a confession like this, the class always got noisy.
There were three main topics:
That the guys confessing were all popular male students.
That she rejected all of them.
And... because she always said she liked someone else when rejecting, everyone was curious who that person was.
She'd said she liked someone else hoping it would reduce the confessions, but instead of decreasing, it only created strange rumors.
"I rejected him again, haha..."
Sua scratched her cheek with an awkward smile.
The girls let out disappointed sighs at the same result again.
Pushing through the crowd, Sua sat down. Naturally, a group of girls gathered around her.
"Why did you reject him? What a waste. You should at least go on one date. That senior was handsome too."
"Right. Of course, our Sua is so pure she probably doesn't care about looks. She's like a natural monument."
"That's just you calling me a kid! I look at faces too when I see guys...!"
"Yeah, yeah, sure you do~ Even though you reject confessions from every handsome guy in school."
When her friends teased her, she weakly protested, but they didn't believe her at all.
Something feels off...
When Ijin Oppa treated her like a kid, it didn't bother her much. Maybe because he'd been doing it for so long that she was used to it, and she could feel the affection and care in his tone.
But being treated like a child by friends her age felt bad. It felt more like being dismissed than playful teasing.
Because of that, words slipped out of her mouth.
"He wasn't even that handsome anyway..."
What did I just say?
Jeong Sua, who had badmouthed someone, felt a pang of regret. She'd made a mistake while emotional.
But it was true...
She'd grown up seeing Suho and Ijin Oppa. Compared to those two... all the guys who'd confessed so far had average faces.
Their builds too. The guy who confessed, despite being in a sports club, was shorter and smaller than Ijin Oppa. Though Ijin Oppa was exceptionally built...
Sua didn't feel any particular appeal from other guys as athletes.
"Whoa... Guys, did you hear what Sua just said? Pretty girls really are something else. How high are your standards?"
"Then all those rejections so far... weren't because you have no eye for faces, but because your standards are way too high?"
"I thought Sua was pure... Turns out her standards for guys are way higher than we imagined."
"Y-Yeah. I'm not that pure!"
Without realizing that her quick pride at being praised was why she got treated like a kid, Sua was just happy to have escaped the "child" label.
"But if that's the case, just how handsome is the guy Sua likes?"
"At least we got a hint about that hidden prince. He's apparently way more handsome than all the guys who've confessed to Sua so far."
The girls put their heads together in thought, then suddenly looked at Kang Suho, who was quietly drawing manga characters at the next desk.
"W-What... why are you all staring at me?"
Kang Suho had actually been pretending to draw while quietly eavesdropping on the girls' conversation. Even though he'd been rejected, he still had a one-sided crush on Sua, so he was curious about the identity of the guy she liked too.
"Handsome... and childhood friend... Could it be the two of them..."
The girls started suspecting that the guy might be Kang Suho.
They began showing signs of trying to push the narrative that there was something between them.
Sua's expression darkened rapidly at the sight.
No... If weird rumors spread and reach Oppa's ears...
Ijin Oppa already knew she'd liked Suho in the past. If strange rumors about her and Suho reached him, she might earn his dislike.
"It's not! That's definitely not it!"
Sua shouted angrily, her face saying she'd get mad if they pushed it further.
The girls, seeing her angry for the first time, were stunned.
"Suho is just a close childhood friend. Besides, the person I like isn't in our class, so don't make things difficult for me. I really hate it if weird rumors spread and that person hears about it..."
Maybe her sincerity got through?
The girls realized Sua was serious about that guy. They understood their mistake in pushing for fun and apologized.
"Sorry, Sua... We were being too nosy, huh?"
"It's okay. You didn't mean any harm, and you apologized, so I'll forgive you."
After that, the friends brought up other topics to avoid making her uncomfortable. But when girls gathered, the conversation inevitably turned to guys.
Sua responded appropriately to her friends' conversation while lost in other thoughts.
If I just publicly announce that we're dating, these problems wouldn't happen...
She wouldn't have to deal with stressful confessions from guys or her friends' strange misunderstandings.
If she just revealed she was dating Oppa.
Of course, the secret relationship had started because of her. She'd asked Oppa to keep it secret because she wanted to maintain her close relationship with Suho.
But recently, she'd been wondering if it was really necessary.
She felt sorry toward Oppa for receiving confessions from other guys while having a boyfriend.
Plus, hiding their relationship like this made her feel like she was doing something wrong.
But that's not true... Dating Oppa makes every day fun and happy...
She didn't want to hurt Suho, but was it right to hurt Ijin Oppa instead?
Both were precious to her.
But of course, she should prioritize her boyfriend over her childhood friend.
I should ask Oppa what he thinks about this.
It wasn't a decision she should make alone. If it was Ijin Oppa, he'd listen properly even if annoyed and seriously think about it with her.
Because Oppa liked her, and she liked Oppa too.
They could tell how much they cared for each other just by looking into each other's eyes.
So Oppa will...
Surely give her a satisfying answer.
Probably. Definitely.
Maybe even certainly.
