Reunion
Just how much had she missed him, how deeply she had yearned for him?
How many nights had she counted the days until the day she would see you again?
There were so many things she wanted to say the moment they met, but she had forgotten them all.
The reason was that Ryly had her head pressed down with his thick arms, burying her face in his chest.
She could barely open her mouth; all that emerged were muffled sounds.
She struggled because breathing was difficult, and only then did he loosen his grip slightly.
“Ryly… is it really you?”
“If you can’t tell, then you can’t see.”
A low voice rumbled from the chest where her face was buried. It felt strange. It had been years since they last saw each other when she was fourteen, so this had to be him, yet it still felt unfamiliar.
The boy had grown into a man. The part touching her cheek was firm, his body built with muscle. Hmm. Something felt off. Sugar let out a soft sigh as she slipped into the wide embrace.
But Ryly was indeed Ryly. Even after such a long time, he still looked so handsome.
From a distance, the flashy blonde hair and the magic aura had been exactly like Ryly’s.
But since she couldn’t see his face properly, Sugar lifted her head.
“… It’s too high up!”
His face was way up there. She couldn’t see it. Her height was average, but Ryly was even taller. He was probably over 180 cm.
“Lower your head. Huh? I want to see your face.”
Like before, with that familiar, affectionate tone, Ryly flinched but willingly lowered his head.
“Wow…”
He had grown so much.
Unlike the soft Sugar, he had a sharp jawline, high nose bridge, and thick eyebrows. His slightly wavy bangs partially covered his mysterious blue eyes.
He was a man. A man’s face.
Sugar, whose cheeks were slightly flushed, reached out to touch that face.
She remembered it. A hazy memory from her previous life. It was the illustration she had seen in the game. She had seen it in dreams a couple of times.
Of course, it was different from the Ryly in that world who had a twisted smile because he was dissatisfied with society. This one just had a slightly annoyed expression and basically a blank one.
When Sugar fiddled with his face up close, his expression gradually changed.
But anyway, it was Sugar’s Ryly.
“Ryly. You’ve grown so well. Many girls will cry.”
“…”
How could he say something like that so casually.
He approached her without any hesitation, just like before. It was Sugar’s personality, and it seemed nothing had changed. A bit surprised, Ryly looked the woman in front of him up and down.
She had matured a bit. Even when she was young, she was this pretty? The way she fit perfectly in his arms, wasn’t she too small?
Her pinkish-white hair, gentle eyes. The sweet scent she had always carried was subtly mixed in the air.
The hairband he had given her was still on her head, which tugged at his heartstrings, so he stroked her hair.
“Ryly…”
Sugar looked up at that Ryly.
His hands were large. Unlike when she was young, they were big and had calluses, slightly rough.
They stroked her head, then moved down to her cheeks.
Ah.
Sugar stiffened her body.
The warm, large hand enveloped her cheek. Being touched by someone much larger than herself made her wonder, wonder, what was this? The destructive power had increased immeasurably compared to when she was young.
Ryly gently pulled her stiff cheek, touched her nose, and rubbed her eyebrows lightly. He was imitating what Sugar had done to him.
And then, her lips.
Moist, small, plump. The precious lips that mostly spewed nonsense but also said many affectionate words. He gently stroked them with his thumb and finally removed his hand.
“…”
Sugar’s cheeks had turned into a color that didn’t even need describing.
“Ry, Ryly.”
“Why.”
“Too bold.”
“What are you talking about.”
Ryly let out a light laugh.
He was an adult now. Even when he had pressed his face close earlier, he didn’t seem embarrassed; his expression was just slightly twisted.
It was as if this was just kids’ play.
Seeing this, Sugar felt a bit of defiance.
‘He didn’t contact me for all this time…’
He had grown so tall. His body had become so big. He was a man now.
How shameless!
Sugar had also tried hard to grow by eating a lot, wanting to be tall, but compared to Ian, who was also a peer, she was much shorter.
In comparison, the sight of the sturdy adult Ryly was too frustrating. It was good that he had grown well, but still. That was one thing. He hadn’t come to meet her for years. He hadn’t contacted her either.
A mix of resentment and anger.
The joy of reunion.
At the same time, bad mischief.
Pride. Reestablishing hierarchy.
Sugar immediately clung to Ryly’s arms.
Her protruding chest pressed against Ryly’s firm upper body. But Sugar didn’t care and pressed her body even closer.
“…”
Ryly quietly lifted Sugar and set her down.
“Why. Let’s stay together a bit more.”
“I sweated a lot. Now get away.”
“Are you hot? Or is it because of the smell? I don’t mind.”
She rushed at him like a bullet and stuck to him again. This time, she buried her face and smelled him. She rubbed her nose all over his upper body and sniffed.
The scent of Ryly’s body mixed with male perfume. There was also a faint sweat smell. It wasn’t a bad smell bad enough to dispel the joy of reunion.
If I had to say, it might be good. With her nose buried in his chest, Ryly grabbed her waist and lifted her up.
“Stop… You haven’t changed at all.”
No, there was something changed. His eyes widened.
It was lighter than expected. The waist he held was slender, and the surprise at the woman’s line made him wonder.
The most surprising thing was the outfit she was wearing now.
He confirmed it belatedly because he hadn’t noticed in time.
“Hey… you… what is this outfit…”
“Ah, Ian-ssi chose it for me. What do you think?”
Sugar lightly pinched her stocking and stretched it, then let go.
It snapped back to its original position, and her thighs became soft.
“…”
What on earth was this.
Her mind went blank at the shocking scene.
In contrast, Sugar’s lips curved up.
This was it.
Sugar slipped out of Ryly’s frozen hands and landed on the floor with a tap. Then, as if telling him to look, she brought her two thighs together in front of Ryly. The flesh of her thighs wrapped in semi-transparent black stockings pressed against each other. Plump and full.
All the things she had eaten in Seongdo during that time might have gone here.
“This is a really fun fabric. Even though it’s thinner than spider silk, it’s much tougher.”
“…”
“Soft. And subtly rough.”
She rubbed her thighs with her hands, showing off. She squeezed them tightly with her hands. She slowly stroked from bottom to top. Waiting for the prey to bite the hook, she was enthusiastically appealing.
“Look, look.”
She forgot that this was outdoors and got lost in it, swaying. It was shaking. It seemed she couldn’t objectify what she was doing.
To her, it was just playing a prank like when she was young, but both of them had become adults. They were no longer children.
Yet they were doing such dangerous things.
“From behind, it’s like this.”
She turned around and gathered her long hair to one side, revealing the soft, plump bottom of her extremely short pants below.
The convex buttocks. And the hollow part between the buttocks and thighs. Wrapped in black stockings, the lines were clearly visible.
Even without any exposure, it was lewd.
“Want to touch it?”
This was to finish it.
‘Well, how is it? Get flustered. Get embarrassed.’
Instead, she was doing something she should be embarrassed about and reflecting on. She had become a rotten adult.
Anyway, the blanket kick was for future Sugar. The current Sugar was immersed in ‘long-awaited pranks’ and had gone crazy. She thought it was enough to just collect the delicious reactions of the boy who was now a grown-up young man.
But, as time passed, mountains, rivers, people changed. It was hard to predict what was inside a mere human.
“Mm.”
“Eh?”
“Come here. Touch it.”
“Eh?”
Ryly just flicked his fingers casually.
For Sugar, he would normally say ‘Don’t say nonsense, idiot!’ or ‘What are you saying!’ and get angry.
“Ah, um, there. Ry, Ryly?”
“You’re not coming?”
If you don’t come, I’ll come. Ryly strode over.
Flustered Sugar stepped back.
“Um… that… I didn’t mean it seriously…”
But Ryly approached silently. His expression was unreadable. Just backing up, she hit a large tree. Ryly had deliberately guided her movements towards it.
“Well, I was joking. Like when we were kids…”
No matter how she tried to excuse herself, Ryly blocked her without answering. He was too big. It felt even larger than when he had held her. Like a wall had been erected.
Ryly leaned against the tree with one hand so Sugar couldn’t escape, and placed his other hand lightly on her hips.
“Ah…”
Sugar flinched and trembled.
Then Ryly removed his hand and tried to grab her thigh this time.
That hand, that large hand, much larger than Sugar’s. He spread it wide as if to greedily grab it at any moment.
Overwhelmed by the momentum, Sugar just stared blankly at the sight. This wasn’t it. She hadn’t expected this. She was surprised by the difference in physique and the unexpected reaction.
What to do. Should she stop it? Or just let her touch it comfortably? Honestly, if I were her, I couldn’t hold back. But still. Wanting to touch a woman’s body so casually, how had this adult grown up like this.
She was the one who had provoked it but was thinking all sorts of things.
By then, Ryly’s hand was almost there.
The distance where the heat of the hand was felt. It brushed lightly. Did it touch? Or had it already touched?
“Ah… ah…”
Her mind went blank. All the thoughts she had had until now vanished in this unbelievable reality.
Just before grabbing, right before it became indecent.
“…”
Ryly pulled his hand back.
Instead, he lightly pinched Sugar’s cheek.
“Sugar.”
“…”
“Sugar.”
“…”
The way he called her name in a soft voice made Sugar look up at Ryly with a dazed expression.
She met the young man’s slightly furrowed brows.
“Line. I have to keep it, right?”
“…”
Sugar nodded silently. Just once. Nodding up and down.
Then Ryly backed away.
The man’s scent faded.
Surprised, Sugar forgot even to breathe. She grabbed her pounding heart with a red face and let out strange sounds like ‘Hie… uie…’ repeatedly.
Then, she glanced sideways.
Ryly, arms crossed, standing obliquely and looking down at Sugar. His expression had been just furrowed since earlier, so she didn’t know what he was thinking.
Slightly startled by that look.
“Are you angry?”
“No.”
When Sugar asked, that’s what he answered. After all, he had always frowned even when she was young.
But Sugar, who knew she was wrong, started making excuses unnecessarily. She had realized what kind of unscrupulous things she had done.
Right. Now that he was an adult too, this kind of prank would be burdensome…
“Oh, I didn’t contact you this year. It was disappointing. It made me feel defiant. So I played a prank… sorry.”
Fidgeting with her fingers, savoring the embarrassment, she opened her mouth hesitantly.
Then Ryly exhaled and answered.
“I’m not angry. And I couldn’t contact you because… there were some circumstances.”
“…I see? Then, if there were circumstances, you could have said that you couldn’t contact me for a while because you were busy… I worried a lot…”
When the contact topic came up, Sugar became sullen again.
“… Sorry. Sugar.”
But with Ryly’s one word, her heart melted. The unnecessary pride and the shame of being thoroughly broken also melted away.
Or perhaps this was the opportunity needed, and she had just wanted to forget what happened earlier.
“It’s okay.”
Anyway, Sugar smiled bashfully. Her cheeks were red from the aftereffects of earlier, so she was embarrassed.
“It’s more joyful that you returned safely. I hope you know that.”
With a gentle tone, Ryly, who had been listening silently, loosened his crossed arms.
As if that was the signal, Sugar rushed at him.
Without any mischievous intent or challenge, it was a pure joy hug like the one they had done right after meeting today.
“I missed you. Really.”
Sugar slipped into Ryly’s arms and rubbed her cheeks. Ryly stroked Sugar’s hair and muttered ‘I missed you too…’
It was because he liked it that Sugar poured out affection and burrowed into his arms.
Ryly had been making the expression he wanted to make since earlier.
Eyes closed, frowning, teeth clenched. Face.
I thought you were going to die!
When holding Sugar, smelling her scent, the ‘that thing’ from earlier came to mind and his face flushed.
He had endured it all, saying he would show a cool appearance. He wanted to applaud his patience.
This, this, this, this lecherous woman. What on earth. Was she crazy? Her thighs, what, damn.
Right after the reunion, what would happen next? What after that? What on earth was she going to do.
For Ryly, who had yearned for Sugar even in dreams, he wouldn’t be able to hold back that desire.
But first, he had to graduate from school, right? How many years had it been since he was accepted into Stille. He had to somehow graduate this walking public indecency.
So, he had to pull himself together and draw a proper line until then…
“Ryly…”
Sugar, unaware of that Ryly’s heart, sweetly called his name.
“Sugar…”
Then Ryly answered affectionately. And then he took off his outer garment and put it on Sugar.
Although they looked quite different, when they got close, there wasn’t much difference.
Their good relationship hadn’t changed either, so they were enjoying their time together, savoring the sweet reunion.
“Hmm, hmm.”
At that moment, a deep throat-clearing sound came from somewhere.
When she turned slightly, she saw Cedric shaking his head, not knowing where he had come from.
Behind him were Ian and Ione, whose cheeks were red and muttering ‘indecent… indecent…’, with their bodies leaning to the side. Other people following behind were watching the two of them. Since they had popped out in the middle of their performance, they had come to retrieve them.
“…”
“…”
Sugar and Ryly quietly separated from each other.
And one step. Two steps. They put distance between them.
“No, after a long time. Meeting childhood friends, close younger siblings. Just. Because they’re close. You can hug them, right. Just… that’s it.”
Sugar stuttered and tried her best to explain, but no one answered.
