Chapter 312: Customized Sex Education
"Why? Do you want to be satisfied?"
"I am curious. I wish to know what I must do to feel satisfied."
Neung So-hwa looked at Sun-woo with sparkling eyes as she spoke.
"It’s simple. You just have to fill the place where your urine comes out with something."
Sun-woo continued, maintaining as much of a poker face as possible.
"The place where... urine comes out...?"
"Your pussy, I mean."
"How... how filthy! How could you suggest doing such a thing to such an unclean place!"
Upon hearing Sun-woo's words, Neung So-hwa’s face turned bright red.
What on earth is this man talking about?
Filling one's pussy? How could anyone perform such an impure act?
"It’s not filthy. In fact, it’s a beautiful act."
Sun-woo looked Neung So-hwa straight in the eye as he continued.
"See this thing between my legs?"
Sun-woo pointed toward his lower body.
"Pu... put it away! Have you... no shame at all!"
Neung So-hwa whipped her head away as if she couldn't bear to look.
How can he show such a thing without a hint of embarrassment?
"This thing between my legs is called a dick. When I get excited, it grows quite large. That’s when you put this dick into your pussy. Only then can a man and a woman become one, and only then can it be said that a woman has lost her virginity."
Sun-woo spoke in a calm, matter-of-fact tone.
If he showed embarrassment here, the atmosphere would turn awkward. He had to speak as dispassionately as possible for the sake of conveying information.
"..............."
Neung So-hwa remained tight-lipped. Her head throbbed as if it might explode from hearing such unimaginable things.
She was confused.
Why on earth would someone put a 'dick' into a 'pussy'? Moreover, how could things meant for urinating be joined together as one?
Was it not incredibly foul?
She was bewildered. Her head ached.
"When the dick is inserted into the pussy several times, a liquid called semen comes out of the dick. When that reaches the inside of the uterus, a baby is created."
"Th... then... are babies made of urine!?"
Neung So-hwa asked back, her expression one of utter shock.
"Semen is a bit different from urine. It’s true they are expelled from the same place, but semen is a bodily fluid filled with affection that comes out because a man loves a woman so much."
"Is... is that so?"
"That’s how it is."
Sun-woo nodded in response to her question.
"................"
Neung So-hwa fell silent again. She didn't even know where to begin.
The concepts of sex she had believed in until now had come crashing down in an instant. What could she possibly say in a situation like this?
"I know it’s hard to believe."
When she remained silent, Sun-woo spoke up cautiously.
"It’s surely a completely different story from everything you’ve known. It must be hard to accept."
Sun-woo maintained his calm expression.
"But I don't want you to suffer because of a distorted view of sex. Even just now, you were prepared to have a child just because you thought kissing leads to pregnancy, weren't you?"
Sun-woo spoke to her with genuine sincerity.
"You must have been anxious, thinking you had an unwanted pregnancy."
"Not... particularly..."
Neung So-hwa spoke in a hesitant voice.
"Huh?"
"I said I was not particularly anxious."
"About what?!"
Sun-woo looked flustered.
"........I did not feel anxious."
Neung So-hwa looked at Sun-woo, her face slightly flushed.
"I thought that if it were your child, I wouldn't mind giving birth."
She then looked Sun-woo straight in the eye.
"Wh... what!?"
Sun-woo was taken aback. He couldn't keep up with the sudden shift in the atmosphere.
Wasn't he just giving her a tailored sex education to establish proper sexual knowledge and values? Why had the mood suddenly turned into a love confession?
"S-Sohwa..."
Sun-woo spoke, unable to hide his bewilderment.
"Pregnancy... well... it’s something that happens between... lovers who have promised a future... or a married couple..."
"I know at least that much. My sexual knowledge may be lacking, but do you think I am ignorant of the weight of pregnancy?"
Neung So-hwa continued with a calm expression.
"I am well aware that the act of leaving behind a seed for the next generation must be predicated on mutual love, trust, and responsibility."
".................."
"I spoke with full awareness of that importance. I said it would be fine to give birth if it were your child."
Neung So-hwa stared at Sun-woo with eyes that seemed to burn.
"I understand now. It seems my knowledge regarding sex was stuck at the level of a ten-year-old. It must have been a grand, kind lie told out of consideration for my younger self."
"..............."
"I understand. The fact that I have not lost my virginity, and even more so, that I am not pregnant."
Neung So-hwa gazed at Sun-woo with deep, soulful eyes.
"And yet, I am not that happy."
She put on a somewhat sorrowful expression.
"A maiden should be overjoyed to learn she hasn't lost her virginity or become pregnant, yet I feel no joy. Rather, I feel a sense of disappointment and regret."
Neung So-hwa slowly reached out and caressed Sun-woo's cheek.
"Do you know why I am like this?"
She stared at him with a gaze hotter than a blazing fire.
"I... I wonder?"
Sun-woo stammered in response.
"I wanted to have your child. And I wanted to take you as my husband."
Neung So-hwa gave a small, alluring smile.
"It seems I have fallen in love with you."
".........."
Sun-woo couldn't find any words. The sudden confession was one thing, but Neung So-hwa, whose jade-like face had turned as red as a ripe apple, was so incredibly cute that he was left speechless.
She’s beautiful.
Indeed, she was.
Is it not said that a woman is most beautiful when she falls in love?
Neung So-hwa already possessed a beauty rarely seen in the mortal world. How could she not be stunning when she confessed her love with a face flushed with shyness?
Thump, thump, thump.
Sun-woo felt his heart racing wildly.
He had drawn a line at being friends, but they were still a man and a woman. If he didn't feel an attraction to a woman who looked like a goddess from myth, he wouldn't be a functioning man.
However, Sun-woo had always intentionally blocked such feelings. Not only did he already have lovers who looked only at him, but as someone being hunted by Lee Jae-won, how could he involve another woman?
Furthermore, was she not a woman born of the noble and exalted bloodline of a Commandery Princess? How could a commoner like him dare to look at her?
Sun-woo had kept his distance as much as possible, thinking it was an impossible dream. He didn't want any unnecessary feelings to develop.
But now, Neung So-hwa—the woman he had vowed not even to look at—was whispering words of love to him.
He couldn't help but tremble; his heart couldn't help but race.
"....What do you think of me?"
Neung So-hwa asked, her voice trembling with nerves.
".......Well... that is..."
Sun-woo agonized. He had no idea how to answer.
He liked her too. Setting aside her looks, there wasn't a single thing about her behavior he didn't like. He liked that she was born of high status but did not act overbearing, and he loved her benevolent nature and consideration for others.
But if he accepted her confession here, things would get complicated.
She was a member of the Imperial Family. Specifically, the granddaughter of the current Emperor. If he accepted her, he would inevitably become entangled with the Imperial Court. There was no way the Imperial Family would allow a relationship between a mere commoner and Neung So-hwa.
Besides, didn't he already have Ok-ryeong and Un Ga-ryeo?
In such a situation, taking in Neung So-hwa as well was too much greed. Even if he did accept her, he would have to place her in the position of a third wife, and the Imperial Family would never tolerate such a thing.
"......Sun-woo."
Seeing Sun-woo lost in thought, Neung So-hwa called his name.
"There is no need for deep contemplation. Just answer my question."
She looked at him with a burning gaze.
"Do you dislike me?"
"........No."
"Then, do you like me?"
"..........Yes."
"That is enough. A woman like me likes a man like you, and a man like you likes a woman like me. What else is there to consider?"
Neung So-hwa looked at Sun-woo with eyes filled with ecstasy.
"I love you."
Having said her piece, Neung So-hwa reached out and slowly pulled Sun-woo into her embrace.
Sun-woo did not avoid her touch; he allowed himself to be drawn into her arms. His mind screamed that he should refuse, but his body simply wouldn't listen.
And then he realized. He realized that he was quite stupid. Because he never listened to a damn thing his brain told him.
Soft.
The first thing Sun-woo felt as he was pulled into her embrace was warmth. Though they were in the North Sea, where sub-zero winds blew everywhere, her embrace alone was as warm and cozy as a mother's.
"Sun-woo."
Then, Neung So-hwa's soft voice echoed in his ear.
"I want to have your child."
She spoke with a voice of absolute certainty, as if no further thought was required.
"Will you not impregnate me?"
Thump-thump, thump-thump, thump-thump.
Hearing Neung So-hwa's bold declaration, Sun-woo felt his heart pounding like crazy. It was impossible for it not to. Hadn't she skipped way too many steps? How could she jump straight to the pleasures of the bed right after a confession?
Sun-woo was flustered. He couldn't imagine how to respond to this.
"S-Sohwa..."
Sun-woo slowly opened his mouth to speak.
"Speak. I am fully prepared."
"Well... pregnancy is something that should be planned and done when you're truly ready. Otherwise, you'll end up with the burden of solo parenting or postpartum depression and things like that, you know?"
Sun-woo barely managed to get the words out, his face a mask of panic.
"It is fine. I am fully prepared. I am not exactly young, so I believe it is better to have a child sooner rather than later. And as for solo parenting, do not worry. I will be an excellent mother, and there are countless wet nurses in the Imperial Palace who will care for our child. And postpartum depression? How could I possibly be depressed when I have you?"
Neung So-hwa countered every one of Sun-woo's points.
"I-If you were to carry my child, the Emperor would surely be furious. You are of noble blood, and I am just a commoner. How could we overcome such a difference in status?"
"Do not worry about that either. With your level of martial arts, you could easily rise to the rank of General as a military official. Besides, my marriage has been a great headache for my grandfather. If I, who protects the Imperial Family, were to marry into another prestigious family, it would inevitably weaken the Imperial power. In such a situation, if I were to take a commoner like you as a matrilocal son-in-law and bring him a cute great-grandson, he would be absolutely delighted."
"......Th... then..."
Just as Sun-woo was about to say something else.
"Shh."
Neung So-hwa placed her index finger against Sun-woo's lips.
"You have too many excuses. I am fully prepared, so why are there so many things that 'cannot be'?"
She gave an alluring smile.
"Do not think; leave it to your instincts. I shall handle all the consequences. I am noble, wealthy, beautiful, and strong. So just trust me and go for it."
Neung So-hwa leaned into Sun-woo's ear and whispered enticingly, over and over. And those whispers were driving Sun-woo mad.
When a peerless beauty, the likes of which the world would never see again, wanted him this much, what man wouldn't be shaken?
He was shaken. Violently.
Should I just close my eyes and go for it?
Sun-woo genuinely considered it.
Shake, shake.
But soon, Sun-woo shook his head from side to side. If he acted solely on his lust, how would he be any different from a beast? Before doing anything, he had to tell her properly. He had to tell her that he already had two women he was responsible for.
If he acted thoughtlessly without saying a word, he would surely come to regret it deeply.
"Sohwa."
"Speak."
Neung So-hwa nodded at Sun-woo's call.
"I have a lover."
Sun-woo spoke in a calm tone.
"I know."
Neung So-hwa nodded as if she had expected it.
"I am well aware of the fact that you are betrothed to a woman named Tang Seo-yoon. I courted you knowing that full well."
She continued with a calm expression.
"It does not matter if you have a lover. For a man as charming as you, how could having a woman or two be a flaw?"
Neung So-hwa nodded understandingly as she spoke.
