Soye's Tearful Guilt and Throbbing Desire
My womb was throbbing like crazy. If I left it like this, it felt dangerous somehow. Going with my gut, I quickly explained the whole story to Soye.
I came here to work on a new song after drinking, accidentally discovered Cheon Bom's intimate secret, she restrained me after seeing that, and then I blacked out for a bit...
Thanks to my explanation calming her down, Soye politely apologized to Cheon Bom.
"I'm really sorry. You went through something awful because of me. I'll compensate for any damages. I'll take full responsibility to the end."
After the apology, Soye stood up right away.
"First, both of you should get checked out. I brought a doctor. Sejin, the doctor's outside right now, so let's go get examined."
"Check Cheon Bom first. My head's just a little fuzzy."
Cheon Bom's body had been through hell; she needed to be looked at first.
"Then I'll have one doctor come inside. Sejin, you go out and get diagnosed first."
"Uh, yeah."
She brought two? I thought she was prepared when she mentioned the doctor, but she's even more thorough than I imagined.
I went outside with Soye, and in the lobby, an old doctor was waiting with a woman who looked like a nurse.
"Doctor, this is the one who took that medicine. Please diagnose him. And there's another woman inside who needs an exam..."
"I'll go check."
"Yes, Doctor."
The woman entered the studio at the old doctor's command. Soye followed her in and closed the door.
Soye, why'd you go back in?
"How's your body feeling? Any pain anywhere?"
"Uh... just a bit fuzzy in the head."
"That's all?"
"Yes."
"Hmm... Take off your shirt for a moment."
The old doctor quietly pressed a stethoscope to my body. He soon pried open my eyelids to check my pupils, looked in my mouth, took my pulse, and started all sorts of examinations.
Inside the studio, while getting checked for external injuries, Cheon Bom asked Shin Soye,
"You... why on earth did you give that drug to that guy?"
Shin Soye quietly met her gaze at the question.
"What, do you have a crush on your own manager or something?"
"And if I do?"
"Ha, an idol drugging her manager with an aphrodisiac? That's huge scandal material. If it was lovers trying to have a hot night, maybe..."
"We are lovers."
"...Huh?"
Cheon Bom's sharp eyes suddenly widened.
"Wait, what?"
"We're in a relationship."
"No, Lee Sejin said he didn't have a girlfriend, so I thought maybe... No, that's not it. You two are manager and idol. And you're saying you're together like that?"
"Yes."
She answered flatly and stared at Cheon Bom with an expressionless face. Cheon Bom's pupils began to tremble as she met that gaze, at a loss for words.
"N-No... There wasn't even a rumor about that..."
"I know your intent in bringing it up now, but I'll let it slide. Anyway, you suffered because of my mistake."
"......."
"Miss, the exam's done. Your body's fine. You might need a more detailed check at the hospital, but the emergency treatment's complete."
"Thanks for your work."
Shin Soye brought her face right up to Cheon Bom's nose.
"That's a relief. No issues with your body."
Startled by the sudden move, Cheon Bom barely managed to pull her head back.
"Someone who only talked business suddenly buys drinks, drags him to the studio on purpose, has all the tools ready in the studio... I won't say a word about any of that."
"P-Preparation? It's not like that! If that guy hadn't rummaged through my studio..."
"Shh. I said I won't say anything, right?"
Cheon Bom opened her mouth to speak again but stopped. The look in Shin Soye's eyes told her instinctively not to say anything reckless.
"Now, let's talk about compensation for the damages."
Overwhelmed by Shin Soye's calm, sunken voice and gaze, Cheon Bom could only swallow hard, unable to say more.
Ten minutes later, the door opened, and Soye and Cheon Bom came out.
"Sejin, how's your body?"
"No issues, miss."
The old doctor, who hadn't said much to me, answered Soye immediately.
"Very healthy guy. We'll have to monitor for drug side effects over time, but right now, he seems fine."
"Really? Th-Thank goodness, Sejin..."
She rushed over and hugged me tightly. Looking up from my arms, her eyes were glistening with tears.
"Miss, we'll be going now."
The old doctor and the woman bowed and left. Now, only me, Cheon Bom, and Soye remained in the lobby.
"Oh, right. Cheon Bom has something to say."
Soye turned her gaze to Cheon Bom as she said it. Cheon Bom's eyes trembled slightly at the look, and she hesitantly opened her mouth.
"Th-That... Lee Sejin, I'm... s-sorry. I-I took photos with my ph-phone... and th-threatened you..."
She dragged out each word with difficulty, reflecting deeply. It was a completely different attitude from what she'd shown me before.
What the hell happened in there?
"Wh-What happened today... l-let's just... pretend it never... really, I'm s-sorry..."
As soon as Cheon Bom finished her awkward apology, Soye wrapped things up.
"I'll send people over early tomorrow morning, so follow their guidance, Cheon Bom. They'll handle exams and care perfectly."
"...Got it, Soye."
"Don't forget to delete all data, just in case. I checked your phone, but the rest is up to you. You can be trusted, right?"
"...Yes. I'll wipe the CCTV too."
"CCTV?"
I asked in surprise, but Cheon Bom answered as if it was nothing.
"It's not like that. This studio just has security cameras... Don't worry. They don't film inside. Just checking, you know."
"Make sure to delete it completely, Cheon Bom."
"N-No need to worry."
She answered me coldly but turned polite again toward Soye.
"I'll trust you. Alright, Sejin... let's go."
I still had some things I wanted to discuss with Cheon Bom. Like if her body's okay since I roughed her up, and how to sort out our business relationship...
But now wasn't the time. Seeing Soye tugging at me, I thought that.
"Got it. Then..."
I left Cheon Bom behind and exited the studio with Soye.
Once outside, Soye looked up at me cautiously.
"...Sejin, h-how are you feeling...?"
"Seems fine."
"That's a relief..."
Soye started to choke up.
"I-I'm really, really sorry. Because of me... y-you almost became a criminal..."
Her emotions overflowing, Soye poured out her words rapidly.
"I didn't know it was that kind of drug, for real. I thought it was just a supplement... I didn't know Mom even had stuff like that... It's usually hidden as a gift for Dad, and she only keeps safe things normally! So I grabbed it without thinking... Turns out it's for special occasions... Like I told you before? I have two moms? S-So sometimes when she needs extra energy, she needs the strong stuff... And sometimes things get intense, no, that's not the point. Anyway..."
"Sis."
"I r-really didn't know. S-Sob, no, really, I'm so sorry... Hic... No, I sh-shouldn't be crying, sorry, I can't hold it, ugh..."
"Sis."
"I'm really sorry! Hic, no... Wh-What? Want something to eat? Or anything you want? I'll get it as an apology..."
"Sis. I'm fine."
I placed my arm over Soye's shoulder and gently massaged her arm.
"No big accident happened, and everything's okay for now. So calm down."
"Uh, u-ugh..."
Neither me nor Cheon Bom had any issues with our bodies. And it hadn't blown up into a big incident. I'd talk to Cheon Bom separately later, but for now, we'd amicably agreed it was mutual mistakes.
"Th-That's not true... I-I... hic..."
"I said I'm fine."
In a way, it might partly be my fault she resorted to that drug. After that threesome with Minji last time, I hadn't taken care of Soye, so she must've been desperate.
If I'd treated her right before, she wouldn't have grabbed that drug.
I wiped the tears from the corners of Soye's eyes with my hand.
"Even without drugs, I'll take good care of you from now on. No need for that stuff. That's it. Got it?"
"Se-Sejin..."
I'd just wiped her tears, but now they welled up again, ready to spill.
"I... to you..."
"Don't cry. I'm really okay. The doctor said my body's healthy, right?"
"No...! S-Side effects... might still be there..."
No matter how much I soothed her, Soye was still drowning in guilt. Time for a mood shift.
"Well, there is something bothering me a bit."
"Gasp!? R-Really!? What, what is it? I'll call the doctor right now!"
"Not sure if it's the drug, but I feel a bit... unsatisfied."
"Unsatisfied...?"
"Yeah. Still not fully satisfied."
I said it while glancing down at my crotch.
"Think the sis who gave me the drug should take responsibility for this?"
"Eh, uh..."
I gave the flustered Soye a light kiss. Even after our lips just touched and parted, she was still dazed.
"I haven't been taking good care of you, huh?"
At least it was different from before. Soye's face was properly flushed now.
"Y-Yeah, uh, y-yeah..."
Flustered by the sudden shift, Soye could only stutter. I took her hand and led her.
"Let's move first. People are watching."
There weren't many people on the night street, but some were around. Even disguised, Soye's figure drew eyes, so we needed to get somewhere else quick.
I hailed a passing taxi and got in with the fumbling Soye.
For the first time in a while, Shin Soye felt a burning heat.
She felt like she could burst into tears any second, but strangely, she was thrilled, her whole body tingling.
I'm going crazy...
Just moments ago, Shin Soye had been consumed by guilt, near death with remorse.
Sorry to Lee Sejin, who almost became a criminal because of her, and self-loathing for potentially harming her lover's body out of her own greed.
But he forgave her. Not just forgave—he promised to take good care of her and even shifted the mood for her sake.
Me, really...
She already knew he was a good guy. She'd fallen for how he always looked after her, loved how he put her first.
But even in this situation, prioritizing and thinking of her first...
What do I do...
Her heart pounded fiercely. Amid the guilt, her heart raced wildly, just like when she first started dating Lee Sejin.
Her whole body buzzed, her womb throbbing like crazy even now.
She never imagined loving someone she already adored even more.
Unable to figure out what to do, Shin Soye let herself be led by Lee Sejin.
