Chapter Title: Getting Obsessed Over for Being the Only Human at Beastkin Academy
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Back at the dorm, I flopped onto my bed.
Then I sat up, lay back down, sat up again—basically doing sit-ups over and over.
Why? Because I couldn't get the masturbation scene of Choi Eum-a from orientation earlier out of my head!
"Is this what college life is? No, it can't be. This isn't college life!"
They call it the uncanny valley, right? A beastkin—who wasn't fully human—spreading her legs on a chair with a body just like ours, rubbing her crotch, no, her pussy. That image was burned into my brain, leaving me deeply unsettled.
My mind and body were on the verge of turning into soggy seaweed!!!
...That said, the sweat droplets clinging to her white hair, those pink eyes flushed with heat—they were pretty captivating. Her thighs looked so springy even without stockings. If I stripped away the awkwardness of the situation and just pictured the human-like parts, my little buddy down there twitched.
Whoa there, no, Junior. That's not it.
That's mental illness territory. Calm down.
'This won't do.'
This bewilderment! I'm sharing it with my ball-less bro!!
I fired off a KakaoTalk message right away. To whom? Na Min-seo, of course!
[Me: Dude]
[Na Min-seo: Yeah?]
[Me: Saw a classmate from my department masturbating by rubbing her pussy on a chair. She came all by herself.]
[Na Min-seo: Recommend a novel with that plot?]
[Me: For real tho;;;]
It's true, why won't she believe me? Though I probably wouldn't believe me either!!
Na Min-seo went quiet for a bit, then sent a video. I played it, and there was her fist—shaped like a woman's vulva—rubbing against a classroom chair.
[Na Min-seo: Pussy-chair masturbation lololol]
[Me: Holy shit lmao]
[Na Min-seo: Lmaooooooo]
She doesn't believe me, but just venting made me feel a bit better! Friends are the best!
The moment I left the chat with Na Min-seo!
Ding!
[Visual Design Dept. Class of '23 Group Chat]
"Ah, right—this is the department group chat. Even a total loner like me gets the announcements equally."
A new group chat had popped up. With all my '23 classmates! Here, I'll just lurk and give minimal responses!
'And snoop around, of course!'
I dove into the group chat and started clicking through the member list to check their profile pics. To memorize faces, obviously.
'Knowing your classmates' faces is basic etiquette!'
Not because I'm curious if there are any cute girls! Definitely not!
The Visual Design Department was mostly mammalian beastkin, with canids and felids making up the bulk.
While browsing profiles, I lingered on one felid beastkin girl.
Sapphire-blue eyes, dark gray bangs that faded to light beige toward the back. Pointed triangular ears on her head and a haughty expression—anyone could tell she was a cat beastkin. What can I say? Those blue eyes had this hypnotic charm.
"She's gorgeous. Purebred cat beastkin, huh? Name's... Mo Myo-mi? Weird name."
Scrolling down the list, I spotted Choi Eum-a. Does she raise rabbits at home too? She was hugging a white bunny that looked just like her, striking a peace sign.
The others probably had no clue. That she looked like your average cute girl in photos, but was actually some vulgar slut shaking her hips on a classroom chair!
Ji-hyeok-ie is scary!
Ding!
"Shit, you scared me."
Speak of the devil and she appears! I was cursing Choi Eum-a in my head, and bam—message from her! I didn't read it, of course. The preview at the top said [Ji-hyeok-ie, is this really you? It's Eum-a lol], so I shyly left her sweet message on read.
'Ji-hyeok-ie is so scaryyy!'
After seeing her like that in class, how does she have the guts to message me?! I'd avoid her at all costs!! I'd die of shame!!!
'You need this level of thick skin to masturbate in a classroom!!'
I resolved myself! From now on, I'll avoid Choi Eum-a! If I hang around someone who acts wild just because it's mating season, I'll look like the weirdo!
If you're stuck at a college you didn't want, just keep a low profile!
"Alright, time to eat!"
Stomach rumbling, I grabbed the ramen I'd bought at the convenience store yesterday. The water purifier was in the student lounge on the first floor, so down I went.
Would it kill them to put one per floor...? Eh, whatever.
"Let's gooo—waaah!"
"W-Why are you so startled? M-More importantly, I texted you... d-didn't you see?"
"Y-You... you're in the dorm too?"
"Huh? Y-Yeah. Room 504."
I opened the door and came face-to-face with Choi Eum-a! Wait, she's in the dorm too? Next door, even?! Is there a curse on this or what?!
As I tried to calm my pounding heart, she spotted the ramen in my hand and giggled.
"A-Are you... about to eat?"
"Uh. Yeah."
Oh! Food as an excuse to bail!
"Yeah, yeah. Ji-hyeok-ie is heading out to eat now. Nice seeing you, catch you later—or not!"
"Ah...! W-Wait! Let's go together. I need to eat too..."
As she said that, she pulled instant ramen and wooden chopsticks from her shoulder eco-bag. She looked like the type to munch on apples and carrots, but nope—ramen it is.
No, more importantly!
"Nah. I'm eating alone."
"Wha...? Why...?"
Why? Whyyyyy? Is she seriously asking?!
'I can't say it out loud!'
When you can't naturally distance yourself from someone, you should give a valid reason! But if I say I'm uncomfortable because I saw her masturbating, and she accuses me of sexual harassment?! I'm an adult now!! No legal protection!!!
I hesitated too long without answering, and she rolled her big round eyes before flashing a plump smile.
"Ah...! I-If it's because of what you saw in the classroom... I'm fine...! It's common for rabbit beastkin...!"
'I'm the one who's not fine!'
"Ah! E-Elevator's here."
With that, she hopped into the arriving elevator like a bunny and waved me in casually. "J-Ji-hyeok-ie, you coming?"
This girl... her shamelessness is next level.
You need this kind of gall to masturbate in class.
Lesson learned. Noted.
I got hot water from the dispenser in the student lounge with Choi Eum-a and split ways. It wasn't like we were going to hang out long anyway.
The beastkin crowding the lounge—who knew when they'd gotten chummy?—some reptilians I couldn't tell were lizard or triceratops beastkin started talking to her.
"Eum-a, you friends with that human now?"
"Ah. K-Kinda. His name's Ji-hyeok-ie... J-Joo Ji-hyeok."
"Jju-ji-hyeok?"
"What kinda name is Jju-ji-hyeok?!"
"Kekekeke!"
"H-Hey, guys! Stop it!"
"His name's Jju-ji!"
'What are they, elementary kids?'
Getting teased about my name? Been there since grade school—no big deal.
Back in my room, I slurped up every last drop of ramen broth. I lay on the bed to digest before cleaning up when—knock knock knock. Someone at the door.
'Ugh, hassle.'
Stuffed and comfy, I ignored it. No energy to get up. Then came knocking plus a voice. Choi Eum-a.
"U-Um... Ji-hyeok-ie. A-Are you mad?"
Suddenly? Oh. She thinks I got upset because I went up alone? It wasn't even her teasing me—why's she so flustered? Bold as hell in some ways, but super timid in others?
...Anyway.
"Ji-hyeok-ie. Are you mad?"
"......"
"J-Ji-hyeok-ie."
"......"
"Jii-hyuuuk-iiiie."
"For fuck's sake."
Her pitiful voice kept overlapping with memories from class. Listening made my body feel weird! Calm down, Junior!
"I'm not mad, so go away!"
"Hic... S-Sorryyy."
"I said I'm not mad?!"
"Hic."
She stopped knocking after that teary apology. Now it looks like I hurt her feelings?
Is she really a rabbit beastkin? Not a fox?!
My unwanted erection throbbed. If I don't take care of it, it'll bug me all night, but this damn dorm has connected balconies per floor, no curtains on the windows—jerking off is risky. If some avian beastkin flies by, I'll be the embarrassed one!!
'No choice.'
I pictured Na Min-seo's ball-sack face to kill my boner.
Instant results! My junior shriveled right up!
And right on cue!
Ding!
Text from Na Min-seo.
[Na Min-seo: Dude-dude-dude-dude]
[Me: Dude what?]
[Na Min-seo: Wanna hang this weekend? My treat lol]
The guy who always mooches for once!!
[Na Min-seo: Must be my influencer vibes, but I wanna hear your loner life stories lol]
This motherfucker!!
Rabbit mating seasons come regularly—once a month at longest, once a week at shortest.
Plus, they enter breeding season in specific times of year: spring and fall. During those, they're basically in constant heat.
So right now, early spring. Choi Eum-a had to endure heat until summer.
"Haa... haa..."
Shhh—
Naked, Choi Eum-a huddled under the shower's hot spray.
A small, delicate hand gripped one breast, fingers teasing the pink nipple. Her other hand slid between her legs, settling on her plump pussy.
"Ngh...!"
Fingers parting her folds stroked the shyly peeking clit. A woman's clitoris exists solely for pleasure. As Choi Eum-a rolled hers, she recalled the classroom.
The location was bad enough, but next to a guy. She'd tried not to lose it during heat, but she'd ended up grinding on the chair—and even climaxed.
Joo Ji-hyeok must have despised her then.
"Ahh!"
Her back arched sharply.
Catching her breath to cool the heat, she fondled her pussy. The slickness on her fingertips—was it her juices or shower water? Probably both.
"Mmm..."
She dazedly sucked her fingers. Her damp rabbit ears and round tail twitched.
Rabbit beastkin and their frequent heats were infamous, making them targets for those ruled by their lower brains.
When she'd shown that side to Joo Ji-hyeok in class, she'd expected him to turn into one of "those" guys. Instead, he'd looked at her with disgust.
"J-Joo... Ji-hyeok... Ji-hyeok-ie..."
It made sense, really. Doing that in a shared classroom—who'd look kindly? But in her whole life, no one had reacted like Joo Ji-hyeok.
Not a single one.
Everyone else had approached her casually, thinking they could hook up easily. But Joo Ji-hyeok openly avoided her.
For the first time, someone saw her as off-limits. For the first time, someone didn't sexualize her. So Choi Eum-a thought Joo Ji-hyeok was a good guy.
