Nighttime Exposure Training (2)
I couldn’t believe my eyes.
Standing before me, Hayeon wore nothing but a beige coat.
The instant its front fell open, it revealed her pure white, flawlessly smooth naked body with no covering at all.
I swallowed hard on pure instinct.
“…H-Hayeon?” I asked, voice shaking.
Hayeon kept her head bowed low, fingers clenched white around the coat’s hem. Her ears and the nape of her neck burned crimson with shame.
Instructor Yuri watched the scene with cool, indifferent eyes. She stepped closer and held out the second coat that had been draped over her arm.
“Student Eunha, please remove your clothes as well. Then put this on.”
“Excuse me? Take them off? Did I hear you right?”
“You heard correctly, so please hurry. Student Hayeon has already steeled herself. She’s doing this for you, Eunha.”
The instructor’s gaze settled on the buttons of my uniform.
I looked at Hayeon. Tears shimmered at the corners of her eyes as she searched my face.
Could I refuse?
No. It was impossible.
My body had already endured every kind of humiliation. Acting shy about exposure now would be ridiculous.
Besides, my status window already carried the bad status Exposure Desire.
The stinging stares I had felt during that internet broadcast still lingered vividly in my memory.
Yeah. No one else is watching anyway…
To be precise, only Hayeon and Instructor Yuri were here.
With trembling hands I unfastened my uniform buttons one by one.
Pop. Pop. The soft sounds echoed through the silent training ground.
I shed my shirt, slid off my skirt, and removed my underwear.
Beneath everything remained only the Libido Suit I wore as a precaution against unexpected danger.
“Hm? What is that suit? Please remove your personal equipment too.”
“…Yes.”
I stripped away even the Libido Suit—my last line of bodily protection.
Cool night air swept over every inch of me. Standing utterly bare beneath someone else’s gaze.
…The sensation was so dizzying it threatened to paralyze my mind.
A sharp, electric thrill runs through your body at the feeling of being seen.
Duration: Active until training ends
My lower belly tingled fiercely. Though only two pairs of eyes watched me, the tangible weight of real gazes crawling over my skin felt no different from hundreds of viewers.
I hurriedly pulled on the coat Instructor Yuri offered. The rough lining scraped my bare skin and raised instant goosebumps.
“Preparations are complete. Please head outside now.”
“…What? Like this?”
“Of course. Walk one full lap around the academy grounds. That is today’s training.”
Instructor Yuri smiled sweetly and pointed toward the training ground door.
Hayeon and I staggered out without daring to meet each other’s eyes.
The academy at night was far more dangerous than during the day.
Thick shadows pooled beneath the streetlights, and sticky moans drifted occasionally from the grass.
I pulled my collar high and stuck close to Hayeon’s side. She walked like a frozen robot, body rigid.
“H-Hayeon, are you okay?”
“…”
Instead of answering she only breathed in thin, shallow gasps. The fingertips clutching her coat had gone deathly white.
I tried to stay focused, but the reality of strolling through the night academy completely naked beneath a single coat kept scraping mercilessly at my brain.
Anxious fantasies kept blooming in my head.
What if someone caught us here?
What if our coats came open and our naked bodies were exposed?
The hypnotized students would surely swarm like hyenas, desperate to ravish me.
That very terror somehow twisted into a strange, spine-tingling anticipation.
I’ve really lost it… But Hayeon can’t.
I shook my head, trying to fling the thoughts away.
If I were alone, my body would happily produce magic power no matter what was done to it. But I couldn’t allow innocent Hayeon to suffer the same fate.
Right now, my priority was the girl beside me who looked ready to collapse at any second.
“Hayeon, look at me. Breathe deep.”
I carefully wrapped an arm around her shoulder. Even through the coat I could feel the burning heat of her skin.
“U-um… Eunha……”
Her eyes were spinning. I gripped her hand tightly.
“It’s all right. Nothing’s going to happen. No one knows we’re naked. We’re just out for a night walk.”
“B-but… I can feel it. The wind… slipping underneath…”
“Isn’t it the same with a uniform skirt? From the outside it just looks like we’re warmly dressed in coats.”
My voice seemed to work like a sedative; Hayeon’s breathing slowly steadied.
She clutched my hand like a lifeline and took another step.
Luckily the hour was late and few students remained on campus. By carefully avoiding any signs of people, we managed not to encounter anyone.
The quiet night walk continued. Before the atmosphere could turn awkward again, I spoke.
“Hayeon. Why did you end up joining the instructor’s training with me?”
“Instructor Yuri said I could help you… that you needed someone at your side to keep you from falling into corruption.”
“…I’m sorry. You got dragged into this because of me.”
“No, it’s not like that. I asked if there was anything I could do to help. And honestly, I haven’t managed to do much at all. During the volunteer work last time… all I could do was call the instructor.”
Hayeon gave a bitter smile. Even though none of it was her fault, guilt weighed heavily on her.
…And all the while I had been submitting to Park Dusik without even realizing how she felt.
A different kind of shame washed over me—true shame, nothing like the sexual thrill I had felt while naked.
“And I realized something. In this insane world, pretending to stand above it all by myself solves nothing. If you break, I’ll be swept away soon after.”
Hayeon’s eyes had grown firmer than before.
After awakening from the hypnosis herself, it seemed she had quietly forged her own resolve.
I renewed my own determination as well.
Though that resolve would melt like snow the moment a man’s hands seized me, at least right now I meant every word.
After our serious conversation, it took well over an hour—nearly two—before we finally completed almost a full lap around the academy.
Once we passed the main building and crossed the sports field, the training ground would be right there.
The moment I thought it was over and my tension finally eased—
“Hey? Hayeon! Baek Hayeon!”
At the voice we both froze solid.
Two uniformed girls were waving from a distance and heading straight toward us.
We were in the middle of the wide-open sports field with nowhere to hide.
We’re finished.
Hayeon’s face drained of color. She frantically fastened every button to keep her coat from falling open.
“Oh my, Hayeon! What are you doing out here so late? And next to you… that’s Seo Eunha from the combat department, right? Wow, no way!”
“Ah, hello. We’re just out for a walk.”
They appeared to be Hayeon’s friends from the special department; their eyes sparkled with recognition when they saw me.
I answered as naturally as I could and subtly stepped in front of Hayeon. Behind me she was trembling violently.
“A walk? Just the two of you? Wow… so the rumors were true?”
“Pardon? What rumors?”
One of the girls laughed playfully and winked.
“There’s a rumor that you two are incredibly close. Hayeon always gets so embarrassed she won’t even answer properly… But to think you were on a matching-coat date together at this hour! So romantic!”
“Ah, that’s…”
What excuse could I possibly give?
Even if I tried to coordinate a story, Hayeon was in no condition to speak. She bit her lip hard, clearly struggling just to hold back a moan.
Her friends watched us fumbling and seemed to lock in their strange misunderstanding.
“Well, if it’s a beauty like Eunha, of course Hayeon would fall for her. You two look perfect together!”
“Yeah, totally. Sorry for interrupting, Hayeon! Have a great date and see you tomorrow!”
They giggled and tactfully left us alone.
The moment they were out of sight, Hayeon collapsed on the spot. I rushed to support her.
“Haah… haah…”
“It’s okay, Hayeon. They didn’t find out. They just misunderstood our relationship.”
“Ugh… I’m so embarrassed. I want to die…”
“Sorry for causing that weird misunderstanding. At least we weren’t exposed…”
“No, that part’s fine, but… being dressed like this is so humiliating… huuugh!”
We had caused a strange misunderstanding, but at least our nakedness remained undiscovered. We hurried back to the training ground where Instructor Yuri waited.
…Still, what did she mean by “that part’s fine”?
“Excellent work. That was impressive for a first session.”
When we returned, Instructor Yuri clapped with clear satisfaction.
Hayeon and I collapsed exhausted into chairs. The insides of our coats were already damp with cold sweat and body heat.
“Have you begun to understand how to suppress shame and maintain composure?”
“…I’m not sure. I think I was just desperately thinking we mustn’t get caught.”
Instructor Yuri smiled at my honest reply.
“Honest, I see. That’s fine. The fact that you felt no pleasure during the exposure is already tremendous progress.”
“…!”
She was right.
The Exposure Desire that had flared at the beginning had gone quiet at some point.
The thrilling fear that someone might see my naked body had vanished, replaced by the heavy responsibility of protecting Hayeon.
I realized it only now.
“The next training will take place late at night. And at that time, even coats will not be permitted.”
…Yet the moment I heard those words, a trembling wave of anticipation rose up my spine once more.
Could I truly change?
