Which One Do You Like? (1)
Ding-dong.
"……"
"……"
The elevator arrived and the doors slid open. The only sound was the rustle of the shopping bag stuffed with everything we'd bought at the adult store.
In the end, Seoyeon's horrified shriek had forced us to pay and bolt out of the place like we were running for our lives. After that, neither of us said a word all the way home.
I still had no idea why she was so angry.
Bang.
Seoyeon had already marched ahead and flung the front door open. She didn't wait for me to follow; she strode inside alone, and the door nearly slammed shut in my face before I lunged forward and caught it.
Thud!
"Seoyeon. What's this about? Talk to me."
"……"
She had already kicked off her shoes and collapsed onto the living-room sofa. I walked over. She looked up at me with that same sulky scowl, her brow furrowed into deep creases.
"You really don't know?"
"That's why I'm asking."
She jerked her chin up and glared at me with a voice gone completely flat. I just stared back, genuinely lost.
"You said it was a date. You said we were going on a date. Do you have any idea how much… how much I was looking forward to it……"
"……"
Her clenched fists trembled as she forced the words out one by one.
"I just wanted a normal date… like everyone else… like ordinary people……!"
Tears spilled over and rolled down her cheeks, landing with soft little plops on the backs of her fists.
"And that damn Jeong-a, Jeong-a……! Why do I have to hear her name on our date……!"
"……"
Every word hit me like a hammer to the skull. How long had she been waiting for our first real date? In a life that had become nothing but sex, day after day, how desperately had she dreamed of this?
"……"
I was a complete idiot. I had only ever thought about what I wanted. Living every day with Seoyeon and Jeong-a had let my selfishness leak out even in ordinary moments.
"I… I was looking forward to it so much……!"
When we left the house she had been smiling with the same innocent brightness I remembered from childhood. Now she was home again, sobbing chicken-drop tears.
I moved closer, sat down beside her as she wiped her eyes, and pulled her into my arms.
"I'm sorry. I was being completely selfish……"
"Waaah……!"
The second my hand settled on her shoulder she threw herself against me and started wailing. I rubbed her back and let my thoughts settle. I carved today's mistake deep into my mind so I would never repeat it.
But……
"Still, Seoyeon."
"Hic, hic…… yeah?"
I eased her back just enough to look straight into her face.
"You said you wanted to have sex earlier too."
"……Huh?"
The more I thought about it, the more unfair it felt. Ruining our first date with my selfish desires? Yeah, that was my fault. But……
"You were the one who begged to go to a motel and fuck. You enjoyed it too."
"……Th-that!"
I had started it, sure. But she had been right there with me. In the movie theater she had gotten so worked up she couldn't stand it and had practically dragged me to a motel. I was about to press the point while she avoided my eyes and darted her gaze around the room when—
"……U-uaaaagh!"
Crash!
A sudden cry and the sound of someone falling came from behind us. Seoyeon and I both jumped and whipped our heads toward the noise.
"Ow……!"
There was Jeong-a, rubbing her knee and sniffling.
"……Ha, hahaha. Ha. Y-you two just keep going……"
She looked up, met our eyes, forced an awkward smile, then scrambled to her feet and started hobbling toward the front door on wobbly legs.
"……Stop."
Screech!
Jeong-a froze mid-step like a robot that had just short-circuited.
"……Come here. Three… two… one…"
With a clatter she was suddenly on her knees right in front of me, eyes fixed on the floor, refusing to meet mine.
"How long have you been here?"
"W-well…… a-about an hour ago……? I came over… no one was home… so I just waited in the room……"
"Then why were you sneaking out without making a sound?"
"I just…… wanted to tease you…… but the mood got kinda heavy……"
She fidgeted, glancing between Seoyeon and me. Something about her looked off. Her face was flushed bright red, and the legs she was kneeling on kept rubbing together.
"……Stand up and come closer."
"N-no no! Y-you two look like you're having an important talk! I'll just leave today……!"
Jeong-a's panic made both our expressions go ice-cold. Her voice shrank as she watched our faces. After a long, silent stare she finally hung her head and rose slowly to her feet. The closer she came, the clearer the wrongness became.
"……Take your pants off."
"Hnh…! Th-that's, I mean! I wasn't trying to—!"
"Off."
"Hnh……!"
There wasn't a shred of playfulness in my eyes. Jeong-a finally started undressing herself. Under our unblinking stares her already-flushed face burned even hotter. Her breathing turned rough; she was getting turned on even now.
"……What the hell is this?"
"H-hnn!"
I reached down and touched her bare pussy the moment the last of her clothes hit the floor.
"Answer."
"H-haaahn! M-my pussy! J-juice! It's juice!"
The smell that had been getting stronger as she approached finally made sense. She was soaked—far too much for someone who had only just gotten excited.
"……What did you do while we were gone?"
"Th-that's, I mean……! I-I didn't mean to on purpose……"
She started scrambling for excuses. I turned to look at Seoyeon. The expression on her face was one even I didn't want to mess with. This wasn't the time to keep fighting with her. Today needed a ceasefire.
"Seoyeon."
"……Yeah."
"What did we tell Jeong-a would happen if she masturbated?"
"……That we wouldn't fuck her anymore."
I looked back at Jeong-a. All the color drained from her face until she was pure white.
"I-I didn't do it on purpose! I just! I wasn't planning to either! B-but when I lay down on the bed! I-it smelled like Hajun! I couldn't help it……! I-I swear I won't ever do it again! Really! Honestly!"
She dropped to her knees again and crawled toward us, grabbing both our legs and pouring out excuses. The rule that had been set the day Jeong-a inserted herself between Seoyeon and me: from now on she was not allowed to masturbate without our permission. The moment she did, everything between us would end. That condition hadn't even come from me—Seoyeon had made it. When Jeong-a had begged not to be thrown away, Seoyeon had smiled that bone-chilling smile and laid down the rule just so she could watch Jeong-a burn with need every single day.
"What do you want to do?"
I asked Seoyeon.
"……"
Her eyes were still cold, but the corners of her mouth began to curl upward. Neither of us had ever believed the rule would last forever. We had only made it because it sounded fun. Seoyeon was jealous of Jeong-a being next to me, yet she never actually drove her out or told her never to come back. She kept her around for her own amusement—so she could feel superior by proving I liked her more.
"Hmm…… should we kick her out……?"
Seoyeon had already crossed her legs, folded her arms, and was looking down at Jeong-a on the floor.
"I-I'm sorry! I won't ever do it again! I was really wrong! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
By asking Seoyeon, I had handed her the decision. Jeong-a latched onto Seoyeon's leg and begged for mercy. Seoyeon's smile only grew darker.
"What should we do…… Ah. Should we try that?"
"Huh? That?"
Seoyeon had been laughing at Jeong-a's pathetic state while she thought it over. Now her eyes lit up as she looked at me.
"That. The thing we bought earlier."
"What…… oh."
The memory clicked, and my expression slowly twisted into the same shape as hers. I stood, picked up the shopping bag that had been left in the middle of the living room, and brought it back to the sofa.
"You're never going to do it again?"
"Yes, yes! Never! Absolutely never again!"
Seoyeon took the bag from me, smiled that bone-chilling smile, and gripped Jeong-a's chin so she had to look up.
"How am I supposed to believe that?"
"Th-that's……"
"Then so I can believe you……"
Her hand disappeared into the bag. Something rustled, then emerged into the light.
"From now on you're going to wear this every day. Which one do you like? Your ass? Your pussy? Or…… both?"
Even in the middle of that chaos at the adult store, I had made sure to buy it. Seoyeon held the chastity belt up right in front of Jeong-a's eyes.
"……Eh?"
