Choi Ye-won's hand slipped right into my clothes.
Her cold fingers brushed against my abs, and I looked at her in surprise.
"Ye-won?"
"I told you. I can do even more than that."
The way she looked at me carried a resolute determination I'd never seen from her before.
"You…"
"You've been keeping up with your workouts without skipping, huh? Your abs are… rock hard."
"I don't go to the gym, but I train on my own."
Her fingers slowly traced up the grooves of my rectus abdominis.
It tickled.
Her fingers crawling over my body.
"You used to be all bones back then… When did you get this big?"
"You made me this way."
At my words, the corner of Choi Ye-won's mouth curved up.
"That's right. I dragged you to the gym and built all this. Back when you were a scrawny anchovy during your repeat year, I made you eat chicken breast, checked your form… I'd say I own ninety percent of this."
She clicked her tongue, but her face was beaming with pride.
A bond no glamorous actress could understand—the six years we'd sweated through together.
Without her, this body wouldn't exist.
She'd ignited my competitive spirit, making me want to excel in both fitness and studies like her.
"From a kid with all sevens on his grades and an anchovy body to a ripped tetona guy and a Yeonsung University student, no less."
She was confirming that this body was her creation.
"Yeah. You built me up."
I glanced at the hashtags floating over Choi Ye-won's body.
[#Marking_Territory]
[#Love_This_Pheromone_Scent]
So that's what marking territory meant.
Leaving her mark on my body, reaffirming that she made me.
Her fingers wriggling over my skin.
When her hand reached my chest after tracing up my abs.
That was when my shirt hem rode up, exposing my abs to the world.
She spoke.
"Why haven't you come around? We had a pretty good time at the gym back then…"
Her voice sounded genuinely disappointed.
The time we'd shared alone in the staff lounge.
She brought it up.
About the moments we'd spent together.
The lewd acts no one was supposed to see.
Caressing each other's bodies, inhaling scents, pleasuring one another.
Honestly.
I was a bit flustered.
I never imagined Ye-won would bring it up first.
"Was doing it there that good?"
"…"
No answer.
Her face flushed red as she looked at me, swallowing hard like she was holding back her shame.
Meanwhile, her fingers stroked my chest.
"Yeah. It was… good."
"…"
Her sudden honest confession left me speechless.
"Wh-what about you? You seemed pretty satisfied too…"
I deliberately dodged her cautious question.
"Hey, why no answer?"
"What do you want to hear?"
"…Y-you can't do this to me? I was honest."
I stroked her head as she pouted in embarrassment.
"If I hated it, I wouldn't let you touch me like this right now."
"…"
Choi Ye-won's hands grew bolder on my body.
"R-right. So just ignore girls like Jeong So-yul coming onto you."
"Ignore them?"
"Yeah. You have me, don't you?"
Choi Ye-won met my gaze.
"Remember exactly whose hands are on your muscles right now."
Her feistiness was adorable, so I chuckled.
"Can't promise that."
"Wh-what?"
"I've got too much charm. Everyone falls for it."
She snapped at my words.
"Wh-what a joke! What charm do you have? Your face is all rough, your personality is pushy, and you've got those intimidating muscles too."
Cheeky.
Downplaying my appeal like that.
You're one of the girls hooked on it.
Otherwise.
You wouldn't be groping me like this.
I grabbed her hand.
"So you hate it?"
"H-huh?"
Her voice stuttered as I held her wrist.
She looked at me, flustered and stumbling over her words.
The moment our eyes met, she looked down.
You're already hooked.
"Answer me."
"…"
"I said answer."
"I d-don't hate it…"
A smile came naturally at her sulky head-shake.
Why act up when you'll fold right away?
That was when it happened.
[Territory Marking]
📍 User: 'ye.0_health' wants to prove you're hers.
⏰ Objective: Allow her to mark her territory, and leave your own mark on Choi Ye-won's body.
The quest popped up.
Maybe because Choi Ye-won was acting different today?
Unlike the usual quests that just listed actions, this one specified the target.
It was as if the system was pointing out her desire outright.
So.
You want me to leave my mark on your body too.
Even from the prideful Choi Ye-won.
Why hide your true feelings and keep provoking me?
Just say it honestly.
"You gonna be the only one touching?"
"…"
I held back a laugh and moved the fingers gripping her arm.
Just that made her body twitch.
"By the way, Jeong So-yul… I touched her myself."
Ye-won was feeling a bit jealous of Jeong So-yul.
This line would be the perfect spur for her.
Her eyes widened at my words.
"Y-you touched her? No way you…"
Did you go all the way like we did?
She was asking with her eyes.
"Who knows? I had to touch her a bit. But not as far as you're thinking."
I stoked her jealousy just enough, then added reassurance.
This would make Choi Ye-won more proactive.
Not a lie. On the rooftop, I wrapped around her waist to set the mood and pinned both her arms with one hand.
I didn't touch her her way, but I did touch her.
She was soft.
"You want to leave a mark, right? Only you on my body?"
"…"
"Don't you want my mark on you?"
Her face flushed red.
Normally she'd call me a perv, but not now.
You want to be touched.
Just admit it.
Then I'll do it.
"…D-do whatever. I-I'm prepared."
The moment she gave permission, I yanked her arm out from my clothes and wrapped my arms firmly around her waist.
"Wh-what?! Hey!"
Before she could panic, her body lifted off the ground.
Thud.
I sat her on the lecture room desk. Now our eyes were level.
"This makes it easier to touch. I wanted to see you up close like this."
I slipped between her knees and leaned in.
Her shampoo scent hit me stronger.
Her eyes, framed by faint dark circles, stared back.
"H-hey… too close."
Choi Ye-won's eyes, which had been so bold moments ago demanding my attention, began to waver.
All talk, but embarrassed now that I'd set the stage.
"This is how it's done. How long are you gonna poke timidly?"
"…"
"You started touching first, so let me check you out too."
My hand slid under her shirt hem.
Just like she'd done to me, my fingers ventured inside.
Brushing her abs.
"Kyaa! Y-you…"
A lewd moan rang in my ears.
"Eut!"
"You've kept up your workouts too. I felt it last time, but… damn, it's hot."
"D-don't say that."
As my hand traced up her abs, her voice trembled.
"Don't resist. I need to feel how toned you are myself."
"Eueut…"
The back of my hand grazed the underside of her bra-covered breast, and she flailed, pounding my shoulder.
"Y-you crazy bastard… This is a lecture room… Wh-what if someone comes? D-door's not even locked…"
"Don't worry. Everyone's done with afternoon classes. Security guy might show, but he doesn't come till after seven."
"Th-that's true, but… it's too bright. Wh-what if someone passes by and sees…"
Her face was beet red.
Her eyes behind her glasses darted lostly. Wanting to push away but not really.
A 'woman's' expression appeared on my six-year friend's face.
"You said you could do more than this earlier. All bluff?"
"N-not a bluff! If I set my mind to it…!"
She glared defiantly, but her voice shrank.
"Then stay still."
I carefully removed her glasses and set them aside.
Her bare face exposed, she shyly averted her gaze, clutching my shirt hem tightly.
"You're prettier without the glasses."
"…Hey."
"What."
"…Don't tease. I'm serious right now."
She mumbled with her head down.
Her flushed earlobes quivered.
"So… be gentle…"
Cute.
You.
My hand slid higher, under her bra.
"Heut!"
She bit her finger to stifle the moan, her body shivering.
"I-I'm sensitive right now."
"Your nipples are hard."
"…"
My friend's bare breasts.
My six-year companion's bare breasts.
The ones I'd only seen clothed, now in my hands.
As I fondled them, her nipples perked up against my fingers.
Unlike Chae-ah's large, soft ones, these had a firm bounce.
Her reactions, flinching with every movement of my fingers, were adorable.
"Where'd that fierce Ye-won go?"
"Th-that's 'cause you're groping so blatantly… And someone could walk in any time…"
"I said don't worry. Focus on just us."
I lifted her shirt higher.
Her baggy white hoodie, hiding her figure, revealed toned abs.
And.
Her apricot bra, matching her skin tone, lifted to expose her bare chest.
"Last time I only felt your thighs and ass… Didn't know your tits were this pretty too."
"…"
Choi Ye-won panted roughly, speechless.
I took her shirt off completely.
"Y-you're taking it all off?"
"It's in the way."
"…"
"Trust me."
Silence.
After a brief hesitation.
"Yeah. I tr-trust you. So be ca-careful."
"Got it."
I pulled off the white hoodie and laid it aside.
I didn't remove the skin-tone bra entirely.
Just lifted it up.
Her pink nipples stood pert on her breasts, begging for attention, and I pinched one firmly.
"Huuut!!!"
"Last time I left a hickey on the upper part… I can still picture how much you loved it."
"Haa, haa. St-stop…"
"You're hoping for it, right? For me to mark your body."
"…"
Doubt and fear lingered in her sparkling eyes.
But she didn't deny it.
"Where do you want it? Pick yourself."
I teased her nipple with my fingers as I asked.
"Heut…"
She moaned softly, panting as she looked at me.
Anticipation and fear mixed on her breathless face.
"N-next to my nipple… Do it there. Leave your mark."
Her voice shook.
How cute she was, overcoming her shame.
"Good girl."
"Haa, haa."
Meeting my eyes, she looked ready to cry.
"Hurry~"
I brought my face to her chest.
The moment my lips touched her firm breast.
"Th-there, it feels good…"
A moan echoed from above my head.
