Morning Confessions and S-Rank Devotion
Knock knock knock. Morning sunlight filtered through the curtains. The moment I opened my eyes, silver hair filled my vision. Yoo Raen was lying flat on top of me, staring right down into my face.
"...?"
I blanked out for a second. ...Holy shit. Why the hell is she here...? My brain stalled briefly before last night's memories came flooding back all at once.
"...Ah."
Then it clicked. Yoo Raen was still hovering right over my face, smiling.
"...You're awake."
"...Yeah."
...Why was she staring at me like that? It felt kinda intense, like she was scrutinizing every inch of me. I decided to go bold and cut through it.
Mwah♡
"Eep...?"
"......."
She clearly hadn't expected the sneak attack kiss. She froze, staring down at me blankly with her lips slightly parted. It was so damn cute that a chuckle slipped out before I could stop it.
"Pfft..."
At the deflating sound, Yoo Raen snapped back with a sly grin. Her lips curved up, her eyes turning playful.
"...Heh... Pervert."
"...Hey, you were the one staring first."
"...S-So what."
Somehow acting all prim now, she buried her face in my chest and pressed her body even closer. Our bare skin, still radiating last night's heat, felt scorching where it touched.
"...Raen."
"Hm?"
"You remember I said I awakened recently."
After some hesitation, I opened up. About the Snail Husband ability, the quests, the penalties. The massages I'd given her so far, and... well, sucking her clean down there—all of it had been quests. And that Han Choyeun was in a similar situation. I laid it all out.
Yoo Raen listened quietly. When I finished, she nodded slightly.
"...I see."
"...You're not mad?"
She tilted her head thoughtfully at my question—
"It's fine...♡"
—then stroked my cheek. The soft touch brought back last night's sensations.
"Quest or whatever... doesn't matter. As long as you like me, that's enough...♡"
...It was the kind of cringey line you'd hear in a drama, but it still warmed a corner of my heart. She'd fallen for me, and here she was, accepting this absurd situation just because of my feelings. I felt proud of her, but guilty too. I should've told her sooner.
Mwah...♡
This time, I kissed her forehead to convey that apology. She looked up with a bashful smile, her face so beautiful it made my chest ache.
"...Oppa."
"Yeah?"
"Now that I think about it... doesn't that mean a quest for unnie will pop up soon too?"
"......"
...A chill ran down my spine, but she was right. With only two data points—Han Choyeun and Yoo Raen—this unique ability twisted things to hook me up with quest targets for sex. At this point, I had to admit it: the odds were high I'd end up connected to Yoo Serin somehow.
Lost in grim thought at her spot-on guess, I barely noticed her changing the subject.
"...But wow, you really hit S-Rank..."
She stared into space like she was checking her status window, fiddling with it. I'd seen the notification yesterday—stamina boost and her rank jumping to S—but hearing it from her made it real.
"...Congrats."
"...Oppa...?"
Shit. I'd tried to play it cool, but my voice came out low. She tilted her head, peering into my face.
"...What's wrong? You feeling okay?"
No. I was happy. Genuinely. Her hitting S-Rank meant better survival odds in dungeons or anywhere. No more getting dragged into risky shit as a B-Rank hunter—she could outlast anyone now.
But at the same time...
"...It also means you're more likely to get thrown into dangerous stuff."
With great power comes great responsibility—that old cliché wasn't a joke right now.
Yoo Raen blinked, then smiled softly.
"...Worried about me, oppa?"
"Of course."
I answered honestly.
"Diving into deadly dungeons or getting scouted by some massive guild and shipped off to the front lines... just thinking about it—"
My heart dropped. She placed her hand on my chest, stroking slow circles like she was feeling my heartbeat. My racing pulse steadied under her touch.
"...Oppa."
"...Yeah."
She stared intently for a moment, then curved her lips into a smile.
"...Don't worry."
"..."
"I'm not going anywhere like that."
She said it casually, like it was no big deal.
"Dangerous dungeons, big guilds—hate all that crap."
"...But at S-Rank—"
"Nope."
She cut off my objection firmly, then poked my cheek with her finger.
"...I'm."
She paused, then added with mischievous eyes,
"Yours."
"...What?"
"So."
She chuckled and pressed her body down on mine. I felt her breasts squish and deform against me.
"...I'm sticking by your side, oppa?"
"...Raen."
"No dangerous places."
She emphasized it again.
"...Instead."
Her eyes narrowed playfully as she whispered,
"Love me forever, oppa."
"..."
"Or else..."
She paused dramatically.
"...I'll run away from home."
"...Pfft. What the hell."
I stared at her in disbelief, and she burst out laughing.
"...Hehe."
"You joking?"
"Dead serious? Even if Eclipse scouts me, I'll say no without you!"
Treating the world's top guild like some local cram school—her cocky tone cracked me up too.
"...Raen."
"Hm? What...?"
Her eyes sparkled like a puppy waiting for a treat.
"You remember I said stats go up the more we have sex?"
"I'll train you up strong enough to stand up to Eclipse."
"...Heek."
Her eyes widened, cheeks flushing pink. I cupped her face in both hands. Her soft skin against my palms made her pupils tremble.
"...Oppa...♡"
Her whisper quivered. I leaned in slowly. She closed her eyes.
Mwah...♡
Our lips met softly at first, just brushing. But soon our tongues tangled, deepening the kiss.
Smack... Slurp♡
Her tongue coiled around mine, sucking greedily. I pulled her waist tighter—
...Knock knock knock!
"......"
"......"
...The sudden knock froze us mid-kiss.
"...C-Coming! Unnie! Be out soon!"
"...Okay. Ten minutes."
Realizing it was Yoo Serin on the other side, Yoo Raen yelled back in a panic. Footsteps receded—thank god.
"...Phew."
"Haa... That scared me."
No idea how we missed her approaching, but no harm done. I scanned the room quick. The bed was a total mess from last night.
"...Clothes first. You gotta head out with unnie."
I gently pushed her off and sat up. My dick was still half-hard, swinging, and she giggled at it.
"...You're up?♡"
"...Six minutes left."
She pouted sadly.
"...Don't wanna go..."
She got up, grabbing her scattered clothes—hunter top and bottoms, undies. Reality forced her to prep for work. Sitting on the bed, she slipped on her bra first, lifting her breasts into place. When she spread her legs to pull up her panties, I spotted a trickle of last night's cum still leaking out.
"...Ah, still coming out..."
She muttered, yanking them up. She threw on her combat top quick, zipped it, and glanced back.
"...You?"
"Phasing out."
"Aww... Wanna stay longer."
I stroked her whining head as she tugged my sleeve, now dressed and ready.
"I'll text."
"...Yeah. Be safe."
Bzzz—
My body lightened as I phased through the wall. I slipped out of her room, down the hall, through the front door, and into the chilly morning air outside the apartment.
I let out a long sigh, heading to my place.
...This is insane.
Last night's memories crashed over me like waves. The moment her hymen tore, how her insides clenched every time she came, making me cum and get hard again for rounds on end. And what she'd said.
-If I get pregnant, I'll have it♡
...Gonna lose my mind.
I shook my head hard. It'd happened with Han Choyeun, now Raen too. Where the hell was this ability dragging me? Honestly, it scared me.
Back in my room, the familiar air welcomed me. I flopped onto the bed, staring at the ceiling.
...What about unnie?
Just thinking it chilled my spine. Like Raen said, a quest for her was probably coming. And if it followed the pattern...
"...Hah."
I rubbed my face. This power was pulling me deeper into the muck. And honestly...
It was starting to feel kinda sweet.
Staring at the ceiling, I muttered,
"...Wonder what happens next."
The future was anyone's guess. But one thing was clear. No going back.
And... truth be told, I didn't want to.
Regrets wouldn't change shit now, so I focused on the present.
Skills: Phasing (A), Special Meal (SS), Good Job Today (S)
No training yet, and my Snail Husband status window was already A-Rank hunter level. Time to figure out how to use all this.
