The Boozy Chocolate Reward
"I said I'd give you a reward, right?"
'Oh no...!' The moment our eyes met, Minji froze solid. We were alone in the room, and she'd just been wiping the sweat from her chest when our gazes locked. A subtle tension hung in the air, sending a wave of crisis through her.
'I'm... I'm gonna get it now...! Just like in those ero doujinshi...!'
Sejin's eyes burned with raw lust as he stared at her. This time, it was really happening. A chill ran down Minji's spine, her whole body trembling.
"Hey, uh... you done wiping?"
"Y-Yeah..."
"Good. Then let's run through the practice one more time."
But nothing like what she'd imagined happened. Sejin simply told her to practice and turned his attention back to his phone, queuing up the music.
'Huh...?'
Minji froze again, but for a different reason this time. The song started playing, snapping her back to reality, and she stood up. A nagging unease wrapped around her like a fog.
The instant our eyes met, a storm of desires raged inside me, but I shoved them all down. First things first—chase away the impure thoughts and get her to stop wiping her sweat. That's why I hurriedly ordered her.
"Hey, uh... you done wiping?"
"Y-Yeah..."
"Good. Then let's run through the practice one more time."
Minji's voice was tiny and reluctant, like she hated having to dance again. I quickly hit play on the track, and she got back up.
"We're QQ-Q-Cute~~"
The childish, addictive lyrics kicked in, and Minji started moving right on cue. Her massive chest swayed again. Every little motion made those over-100cm tits jiggle. No wonder she made it into The Queens with boobs like that—they're insane....
'Fuck, what am I thinking?'
I shook my head to clear it and grabbed the towel she'd used to wipe her sweat. While she danced, I'd tidy up slowly and regain my composure.
"...Hmm."
But then that scent hit me from her towel. The same mysterious, addictive aroma I'd smelled in her room before—like milk powder mixed with baby powder, wafting up strong.
"......."
I glanced at Minji, lost in her intense dancing, then stealthily brought the towel to my nose.
'...Ah, nice.'
So this was Minji's scent. Something baby-like, soft and plump, giving off that feel-good vibe. If the towel smelled this good, how amazing would it be to bury my face in her bare skin....
Beep, bleep!
"Gah."
Minji's footsteps jolted me back. I checked her again, then chucked the towel into the corner. Hope she didn't catch me sniffing it.
"Haa, haa... hek..."
Minji collapsed right there. She was clearly at her physical limit. No way we could keep the lesson going. Plus, my own libido was surging like crazy—time to call it.
Ever since I'd spilled everything to Soye and cleared my conscience, my sex drive had been flaring up at the drop of a hat.
"Minji, let's wrap it up for today."
She looked at me, her face a little pouty, like she had some complaint.
"What's up?"
"N-Nothing..."
Her eyes seemed to be sending some kind of signal, but what the hell...?
"Oh, right, right. I said I'd give you a reward."
We hadn't hit the goal, but giving her nothing at all would be too harsh. She'd worked hard expecting something, and coming away empty-handed would just drain her more.
"A reward...? But we didn't even do it properly yet..."
"You tried your best. You took a step toward the goal, so you deserve an effort award, yeah?"
Her expression changed at my words. Her pupils dilated a bit, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes even started trembling. Was she... excited because she liked it that much?
"Let's tidy up here first and head to the office. I'll give it to you there."
"Th-The office...???"
"Yeah."
Now her voice was shaking too.
"What's wrong? You hurt somewhere? Push too hard?"
"I... my first time in the office..."
"Huh?"
"N-No, I'm fine..."
She said she was okay, but she looked off. Probably exhausted from all the late-night training lately. I handed a panting Minji a water bottle and packed up our stuff. Since it was just the two of us doing self-practice, there wasn't much to clean, and we soon left the training room for the office.
It was late evening, so the hallway was nearly deserted as we reached the office door. Minji hesitated right in front of it.
"What's up?"
"N-Nothing..."
She dawdled before finally stepping inside. Yeah, she was wiped out. Maybe give her a day off tomorrow.
"Lemme see..."
"...Wh-What are you looking for?"
"Your reward."
Minji tilted her head. Still no clue what it was, huh? That'd make the joy double when she got it.
I rummaged in the cabinet and found it quick.
"Ta-da! Here's your reward!"
"This is..."
"Chocolate. Bet it's tasty, right?"
I handed her the fancy box with long foreign writing that Section Chief Nam had passed around as a gift before.
"It's expensive and delicious."
He'd gone on about how it was pricey, famous, perfect for sharing with loved ones from his overseas trip. I had no idea, but it had to be amazing.
Minji froze, clutching the chocolate like she'd been moved to tears.
"Like it?"
"......."
"You're still dieting, but after a workout like that, you need a refill. I said I'd manage your meals, but this is fine right now."
"......."
She couldn't speak, and now her hands were trembling slightly. Perfect—chocolate really was the best for Minji.
"Y-You... think I'm..."
"Yeah?"
"...a kid... don't you..."
"Nah, you're not a kid, Minji."
Was she embarrassed about loving chocolate so much? It was cute, so I patted her head with a smile.
"......."
After freezing for a while, Minji tore open the wrapper. The elegant box revealed neatly packed chocolates—no pointless double-wrapping like foreign stuff sometimes has.
"Minji, just have a little. I'll finish tidying up."
I turned away to sort the office. Shut down the computer, shoved the mess aside, and in five minutes, I was done. When I turned back...
"...You must be beat."
Minji was sprawled on the sofa. Maybe let her nap a bit before we go. I should snag one too, I thought, peeking into the box I'd given her.
"...Gone?"
The box was empty. No way—she ate the whole thing?
'Goddamn it, seriously.'
She'd been on a strict diet for days. My fault for handing her the whole box, sure, but scarfing it all like that...?
"Hic!"
Suddenly, Minji let out a hiccup.
"Oppa~"
"Wh-What? What's wrong?"
She called me in a voice totally unlike her usual one—slurred, tongue all twisted. Her eyes were glazed, like a kid who'd gotten drunk. No way she chugged soju while I wasn't looking...
"No way?"
I rushed to check the box, squinting at the English I'd glossed over before. There it was: 'ALCOHOL W/W 2.5% MIN 3.5% MAX.'
Fuck, it was booze-infused chocolate.
'But getting wasted on just 2.5%?'
"Hic."
Minji hiccuped again, like answering me.
"Oppa-aaah..."
"Aigoo, okay, okay."
Eating this and getting smashed? What are you, a... well, yeah, a kid. In our group, she is the baby. As I approached to soothe her, she suddenly scooted back.
"Wh-What? Why?"
"Y-You're gonna... hic! do that to me... right!?"
"Huh? Do what?"
"Like you did... to the unnies..."
"What'd I do to them?"
"To me... you're gonna get rough... like in ero doujinshi...!"
I froze. How much did she know to say that, and why bring it up now? Total panic.
"Eh, hehe... what're you talking about all of a sudden?"
Deny first.
"Hic, but... I... you were gonna..."
"What would I do to you? Nothing at all."
Priority was calming her down, so I flat-out denied it. Smiling, I stroked her head.
"I'd never do ero doujinshi stuff to my Minji~"
"...R-Really...?"
"Yep, yep."
Pet pet. Kept smiling to sell the harmless vibe.
"Why would I do that to you? Right?"
"B-But..."
"It's fine, it's fine."
"......."
"Here, drink some water first?"
I unscrewed my water bottle and handed it over. Minji took it and stared at me blankly in a otter-like pose.
"Drink some water. You're drunk right now."
"......."
"C'mon."
Urged by me, she took a sip.
"Good girl, there you go..."
I cooed softly, and she went back to otter pose, clutching the bottle to her chest and staring blankly. Animals like that—you gotta stay still till they relax. So I waited for her to react first.
"......."
Then Minji's face twisted oddly. She blushed like she was embarrassed, then made a pitiful expression. Eyes, brows, nose bridge scrunching up—then she started sniffling.
"Wha—hey...?"
Wait, sniffling? What the hell? Why? Are you... crying???
"Sniff, waaahhh...!"
Minji burst into tears. Boozy chocolate tips her over, drops an ero doujinshi line, and now she's bawling.
'What the actual fuck.'
In this unforeseen mess, all I could do was slap my forehead.
