“Juji Wang, have you ever had sex?”
“Yeah.”
I answered immediately with a calm expression.
“Bullshit. It says ‘Liar’ all over your face.”
“Ah, damn.”
But I was busted.
Why? My acting should have been perfect.
I felt embarrassed and rubbed my face.
Jeong Se-in giggled and continued talking.
“You see, I like women more than men. So I've only ever had sex with women.”
Should I say right now that I like men more than women too?
But I haven't done it with a man either, though. Sheesh.
“Then suddenly, a thought occurred to me. Is what I'm doing right now really sex?”
“You greedy bastard.”
Some people say just eating chicken and drinking beer constitutes sex.
This girl gets to pick who she wants to sleep with, so what is she complaining about?
“It's fine since we're young right now. If we can spend a night chasing today's pleasure, that's enough. But what about 10 years from now? 20 years from now?”
Since Jeong Se-in had started talking about something difficult, I tuned her out with one ear and just picked at the side dishes.
“When you get old and your face gets all wrinkly, and your joints hurt so much you can't even climb the stairs?”
“Mm-hmm. This place's seasoning sauce is tasty.”
“When your charm withers and you lose your stamina, so you can't even have sex anymore? What will you do then?”
“Maybe I should have asked for extra fried batter crumbs?”
-Bang!
Jeong Se-in slapped the table.
The beer splashed a little.
“Sex between women only brings pleasure in that moment! It has no future, I tell you!”
“Ah. Right, right. The future.”
“What meaning is there in just hugging each other and comforting our bodies? We can't give birth to anything!”
“Is that so? I find it quite interesting, though.”
“So I thought. I should meet a man too.”
Stiff. My chopsticks stopped.
Hmm. Jeong Se-in dating a man, is still a bit...... how should I put it. Hmmm......
“But even if you think that way, actually doing it is hard.”
“Really? Looks like if you just set your mind to it, you could do it with anyone.”
“It's because you don't know my position.”
I guess. How would I know the perspective of a woman who gets hit on just by breathing? I'm the kind where if I breathe, women run away.
“So, I'm saying. Show me your dick.”
“Damn, what the hell. Why did the conversation suddenly turn like that?”
Even being out of the blue has its limits. My dick isn't some lucky phallic charm that helps with dating success.
“It's because of you that I came to like women more. When we were young, you whipped out your dick in front of me, and that's why I turned out this way.”
“......Because of me?”
That was another shocking fact.
A trivial experience in childhood can have a huge impact on a person's future.
By showing my dick to young Jeong Se-in, it wasn't impossible that adult Jeong Se-in came to hate men and like women.
But to think I gave Jeong Se-in trauma to the extent she can't meet men... It's like I changed a person's whole life.
“So show me your dick.”
“If that's the case, I can't help...... no I can't! What does that have to do with this?!”
“What do you mean what does it have to do with it? You caused it, so you should take responsibility!”
“Are you saying you want to use my dick for some mental training to overcome your trauma? My poor dick is too pitiful to be treated like that!”
“What kind of nonsense is that? Are you trying to shirk your responsibility as a man? Chop your dick off!”
“Yes! I was a juvenile then! So I'm innocent, no, wait, cleared of suspicion!”
Jeong Se-in clicked her tongue and glared at me in silence.
Since I couldn't lose with my dick on the line, I glared back.
Using my dick as disgusting material to overcome trauma. My poor dick, which hasn't even met a woman yet, was too pitiful for that. This was a fight I couldn't back down from either.
The silent Jeong Se-in, seeing that I didn't intend to back down, opened her mouth as if making a big decision.
“Fine. Then let's do this. If you show me yours, I'll show you mine.”
“What.”
It was a shocking proposal. Enough to leave me speechless for a moment.
I almost accepted it without realizing it.
“......No. I won't fall for such a trick!”
But when the other party proposes a deal that is too favorable, you must be suspicious first.
I was barely able to avoid falling for Jeong Se-in's tactic.
“Anyway, if I show you, you're just going to not show yours and run off, right? It's so obvious.”
“Tsk. Are you going to be like this till the end?”
As the negotiation wasn't going well, Jeong Se-in folded her arms and fell into thought.
Because her arms were folded, her chest was pressed together, and my gaze was stolen in that direction.
“Then I'll show you first, so you show yours too. How about that?”
“Wha-what-what?!”
What on earth? What's hidden behind that?
What is Jeong Se-in trying to rip out of me? What is the reason for doing this?
“Ah, I won't be fooled! I said I won't be fooled!”
After all, when a woman who is too pretty asks for a number, a man is right to suspect a cult or multi-level marketing first.
I resisted to the end as long as the thread of reason remained.
“Hmph.”
Whoosh.
Jeong Se-in lifted her top.
The short crop top, and the bra worn inside it too.
I stared at that sight with my mouth open.
The jugs that stole my gaze even over the clothes revealed their true form. The scene of a pair of tits wobbling and popping out into the world would not be a waste to be designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Pretty.
I had my heart stolen in an instant.
It didn't matter anymore if Jeong Se-in was a best friend or just a friend. The utopia that a man must pursue even if he throws away his life was right there.
“......Satisfied?”
A moment later, Jeong Se-in lowered the clothes she had lifted.
It felt like the light had disappeared from the world.
However, thanks to that, I, who had briefly lost my reason, was barely able to catch my soul back from deserting.
I started making unreasonable demands again.
“Ah, no?! That's not it? No, no, no? If I show you my dick, you have to show me your pussy, right? This condition doesn't match.”
“Tsk. Still no good, huh?”
However, such a demand surprisingly worked.
Jeong Se-in seemed to think this condition didn't fit from the beginning.
“We do not surrender to tits!”
I raised my voice as much as possible. To soothe myself, who felt like I was about to collapse at any moment.
If I just get over this mountain, a sweeter fruit awaits. So I must not lie down now.
“But then......hmm......”
Jeong Se-in had boldly revealed her chest, but perhaps she couldn't take off her bottom no matter what.
Jeong Se-in fell into thought again, and I shouted opposing slogans with all my might.
“......Wait a moment. I'm going to take a shower first and come out.”
“Huh?”
That was the conclusion Jeong Se-in arrived at after pondering for a long time.
Then Jeong Se-in stood up and went into the bathroom which also served as a toilet.
“Huh? Taking a shower? Huh?”
Left alone at the table, I fell into great confusion.
A man and a woman are drinking in a studio apartment, and the woman goes in to take a shower.
What will happen next?
“No, wait, huh? No?”
Is this really just purely because she wants to wash?
Jeong Se-in is my best friend and will absolutely not see me as the opposite sex.
Then, expecting something unnecessary would be a great discourtesy to a friend.
“Ugh.”
My head wasn't working because of the alcohol.
And my head wasn't originally good enough for difficult worries.
“Let's just drink.”
Right. Let's just drink.
Flashing her chest, asking to see my dick, those are things she can do because we're best friends. If she thought of me as a real man, she wouldn't do such things.
To my friend Jeong Se-in, gender distinctions are meaningless. Just like I whipped out my dick thoughtlessly in front of my friend when we were young, Jeong Se-in flashed her chest thoughtlessly too. Because showing it doesn't cause any problems.
“Heh.”
The alcohol is sweet.
Since the poured drink was empty, I took a new one out of the bag.
Inside the bag, besides the alcohol, there was a small box the size of a cigarette pack.
Cigarettes? Bar snacks? Gum?
It was none of them.
It was a condom.
“.......
Why is there a condom......?
I took out the condom and fell into deep thought.
Where is a condom used?
Of course, the main use is when a man and woman have sex.
But on YouTube, don't they wear this on their heads or make water balloons and play with them?
I also thought it was amazing that it doesn't burst even if filled with water until it's tight.
Maybe Jeong Se-in saw that and wanted to try it too?
But since a grown-up doing such kids' games would be embarrassing, did she kick me out of the convenience store so she could buy condoms without me seeing?
“Ah. That was it.”
Then I should pretend not to know like an adult.
I put the condom back in the plastic and took out only the alcohol.
I couldn't tell what taste the alcohol had anymore.
“Hey. Wash the towel. It smells.”
“Just wipe and dry it, why wash it?”
“Ugh. You filthy guy.”
Jeong Se-in finished her shower and came out.
Water glistened on her hair and her skin was red.
She came out wearing the same clothes as before washing, but, just, something was erotic. To the point that me just looking at her felt like committing a crime.
“If I show you my pussy, you show me your dick, right?”
“.......
Now was the only time to stop.
After seeing Jeong Se-in's pussy, and even if I take out my dick, will I be able to maintain my reason?
Will I be able to keep treating Jeong Se-in as a best friend? Do I have the confidence not to touch her?
I didn't.
No, I already didn't consider Jeong Se-in a simple best friend.
Maybe from the beginning. From the moment I knew Jeong Se-in was a woman, I didn't think of her as a simple friend.
I thought of her as an attractive woman, as a female to screw.
Until now, I was just playing along. With Jeong Se-in's best friend game.
“......Hey. Se-in. Actually......?!”
However.
I was too late to judge.
Because Jeong Se-in was already taking off her bottoms.
