Chapter Title: Barbecue Party and Bedroom Blunder
-----------------------------------------------------------------
“Heehee!”
“Hehe!”
“Hoo, hoo hehe!”
The moment we stepped into the lodging, Eum-a started peeking around everywhere!
So cute, so cute!
Just looking at her is healing!
She hopped up the stairs to check out the upper floor, then poked around the hallway to see where it led, satisfying her curiosity like a total kid!
Our kid with Eum-a is definitely gonna be that cute. What should we name them? Which daycare should we send them to?
No need for some genius academy! Whatever our kids wanna do, we'll let 'em do it!
Kekekeke!
I was busy picturing our happy future with Eum-a when my stomach growled loud and clear.
Oh right, meat party!
Time to prep the grill first!
“Eum-a, ice.”
“Hwah.”
I grabbed Eum-a, who was waddling off to continue her lodging adventure.
Then I called out to our classmates wandering around.
“Guys! Let's get this barbecue party started!”
Perfect timing—the seniors had just dropped off veggies, rice, and meat on the terrace.
They left it there to make things easier for us? Anyway, we all headed out to grab the stuff, and there was an outdoor barbecue grill set up.
Eum-a spotted it too and grinned all chubby-cheeked as she hoisted up the rice bags.
“Th-there's even a g-grill here... and they b-brought the ingredients right to us...!”
“But isn't that heavy?”
“Th-they must be b-being th-thoughtful so we can p-prep easily...”
“So, is that not heavy?”
She was carrying four 5kg bags of rice right now?
Twenty kilos total, but Eum-a hummed a little tune as she carted them to the kitchen, then swiftly grabbed the rest of the ingredients too.
Without breaking a sweat, of course.
Witnessing that, manly Joo Ji-hyeok made one solemn vow for the future.
I must never fight with Eum-a.
I'd lose.
For real.
Someone washed the rice, someone rinsed the veggies, someone did this, someone did that...
Dividing up tasks by headcount made prepping the meat party a breeze!
We set all the ingredients out on the outdoor table!!!
The sunbaenim chucked fireballs into the grill!!!
Dropped the meat on top!!!!!
Sizzle!!!
The meat dripped oil into the flames, begging for mercy, but no dice!!
“Kekeke! I burned the meat!!!”
“J-Ji-hyeok... It's h-hot, so be c-careful eating...”
“You eat up too, Eum-a!”
“Yeah!”
Seniors and underclassmen mingled without grade barriers, eating and drinking together!
Ah! Not booze yet—we're just having drinks for now! Booze comes after rec time!
“Hweee. Throat stings.”
Eum-a scrunched her face after chugging fizzy cola.
Come to think of it, what's Eum-a's tolerance like?
My first time drinking was with Na Min-seo, and even that tasted off, so I bailed midway and never gauged mine...
But our meticulous Eum-a, who never skips birth control for just-in-case? Bet she's got hers figured out!!
“Eum-a, what's your tolerance?!”
“Huh? T-tolerance?”
“Tolerance!”
Can't hold back curiosity!
Eum-a, soothing her throat with water, answered.
“M-me? One glass.”
“One glass?! For real??!!”
“Yeah. As soon as I d-drink, whoosh...”
Eum-a raised both hands high like flames shooting up, mimicking the buzz, her head tilting back too— so damn cute I wanna chomp her!!
“Wh-what about you, Ji-hyeok-ie?”
“Dunno!”
“Huh?”
Great! Girlfriend's tolerance: one glass confirmed!
Premature down there, premature with booze too!!!
My girlfriend's made entirely of premature everything—cute but worrying.
What if she goes to a party without me, has one glass, gets wasted? If some creep eyes the loopy Eum-a?
No!!!!
Just imagining it is nightmare fuel!! How dare those dick-controlled scum hit on our Eum-a?
No!!!! Absolutely not!!!!
“Eum-a! No drinking parties!!!”
“Huh?”
“No booze when I'm not around!!!”
“Hweh?”
“Got it or not!!!!”
“I-I don't get it, but... o-okay...!”
“Okay, thanks!!”
Our Eum-a's such a good listener—makes this big bro feel at ease!!!
Moments later! Meat party over.
They bought tons for the crowd, but seriously? Rice gone, meat gone, veggies gone!
Even the cola and soda— not a drop left!!
What about tomorrow's food?!
The sunbaenim will handle it!!
Not my problem!!
Senior Baek Sang-a shouted.
“Clean up, then free time till rec starts!!”
Yeehaw!
Free time!
At "free time," everyone pitched in to clear the tables. I teamed with Eum-a to dump the disposables in one box.
Table spotless in a flash!!
“J-Ji-hyeok.”
Eum-a, confirming nothing left, gazed at me with sparkling eyes.
I gazed back and gave a firm thumbs-up!!
“Free time!!!”
“Heehee...!”
Pokororo!
Eum-a's bunny tail wagged happily. Heh! Belly full's got her in high spirits too?! Me too!!
“H-hey, Ji-hyeok-ie.”
“Yeah? Wanna do something? Check out the area?”
“N-no, not that...”
Eum-a didn't want a walk—she grabbed my hand with both of hers and swayed side to side.
What! Why so cute!
“Then?”
“Wanna go to the r-room?”
“The room?”
“Yeah.”
Eum-a nodded brightly. That's when I realized what she wanted! I got it!
“Gotcha. You wanna lie down, right?”
“Yeah! ...Yeah?”
“Kya! My girlfriend knows how productive crashing right after eating is! Awesome! Let's go! Upstairs!”
“H-huh...?”
I grabbed Eum-a's hand and headed inside.
I ignored her muttering "N-not lying down..." as we climbed the stairs.
Eum-a, you think I don't know what's in your head?
You wanna flop into bed and go at it wild— you think this Joo Ji-hyeok doesn't see through that!?
But Eum-a!! Even if I know why you're acting cute, I gotta play dumb! At least here at Acorn Village glamping site!!
Whole department's around—crazy to try sex here!!!!
For real!! Succubus Queen Choi Eum-a lives up to the name!!!!
That's why.
Pretending not to know hurts me as much as her, but it's a battle between my lower half and protecting my love.
Ahh. What kinda war is this love...
We reached the second floor of the lodging.
There were rooms.
I slipped into the one I'd scoped out earlier—no door, fully open.
And flop!
“Ughhh. Feels good.”
I spread out the blankets first and lay down.
Meanwhile, Eum-a pouted at the entrance, unhappy I'd picked a doorless room.
Suddenly, the air filled with Succubus Queen Choi Eum-a's lusty aura. Fierce as hell.
But listen up, Eum-a.
A man can conquer his dick's urges for his beloved woman.
“Eum-a. Why you standing there sulking? Come lie next to me.”
“B-but...”
“Quick.”
I patted the spot beside me.
With a lazy sprawl vibe.
“Hiiiing...”
Me flopped on the blanket broke her—she shuffled in and lay beside me.
Snuggled into my arms with a whiny pout.
“J-Ji-hyeok's an idiot...”
“No bad words.”
“Hiiiing...”
To protect my girl, being an idiot's fine—even a moron dumbfuck works.
Still worrying though. If her switch flips, it's no joke.
Lying with Eum-a in a doorless room was just my way to avoid me touching her with everyone around.
Eum-a can't do that.
She's a bunny beastkin in heat almost every day except summer. So her tiny head was probably fighting horniness right now.
If this keeps up, she'll heat up proper soon.
Our Eum-a who gets horny from breathing alone, drooling from down there...
How to handle... Hm?
Voices from downstairs, then heavy footsteps thumping up the stairs.
And, stop.
Footsteps halted at the top, cheerful chat turning flustered.
“Wh-what?”
“Wh-who're you?”
Now.
Asking me who I am?
“Kekeke. If you're asking who, it's only polite to answer.”
“Ah, what. It's Ji-hyeok.”
“Joo Ji-hyeok, huh. Thought it was someone else.”
“......”
You peeked to ID us but still ask who?
Was hyped for a gag...
The two who'd come up were same-year classmates.
So that one's... Chae A-ra, right?
Brown bob cut, big black eyes, short and stocky. Floppy ear tips poking up top, long-haired tail peeking from her skirt. Chae A-ra.
Dog beastkin, Chihuahua breed—so I memorized the name!
Fun fact: shortest in our 23 Visual Design class?
And next to her... Ah! Go Yeo-ri!
Ring-tailed lemur beastkin Go Yeo-ri!
Stuck in my memory from that childhood animated monkey dance flick.
Thanks, Disney!
Go Yeo-ri had pumpkin-orange eyes and white ears, but surprisingly dark gray hair, sharp contrast at the edges.
Rare beastkin with heavy furry traits—arms covered in dark gray fur, even black claws.
Chae A-ra and Go Yeo-ri froze at the stairs upon seeing me and Eum-a cuddling in the open room.
Especially Chae A-ra, face screaming "What the fuck" any second!! Chihuahua beastkin might actually bark it!!!
Can't let the misunderstanding stand.
I sat up quick from under the blanket to clear it.
But who's Chae A-ra?
Chihuahua beastkin.
And Chihuahuas?
Don't hold back!!
“What the fuck!!!!”
Manly Joo Ji-hyeok!
First words from Chae A-ra: double curse!
