The Sleepless Shelter
After driving just over an hour from Seoul, they reached their destination—the Pyeongtaek Lake Rest Area. Having come almost due south from the city, Kim Seok-hun decided it was the perfect spot to take a short break with his mother-in-law.
"Mother-in-law, shall we meet at the café over there after we've used the restrooms?"
"Yes, Seok-hun. Let's do that."
"Okay!!"
"See you soon~"
Since they had stopped at the rest area, it was only natural for each of them to head to the bathrooms. After finishing their business, they straightened their clothes and made their way to the agreed-upon meeting place.
Clip-clop. Clip-clop.
"Mmm, hm-hmm, I feel so good~"
On her way to meet her son-in-law, Lee Yeon-seo hummed a cheerful tune with every step. The melody was surprisingly lovely, as if something had filled her with pure delight.
"Huh? Oh my, they're displaying them so openly? How fascinating."
Lee Yeon-seo paused beside a small shop on one side of the rest area. The sight of men's and women's underwear arranged for sale, clearly visible from outside, made her stop in genuine curiosity.
"Oh, are you looking at underwear, miss?"
"Pardon?"
When Lee Yeon-seo lingered in front of the store, the woman who appeared to be the owner greeted her with a warm smile.
"Yes, well..."
"Hohoho, take your time browsing. Did you come with your husband?"
"Husband...? Well, yes, I suppose so?"
"Hohoho, where are you two headed?"
"Just out for some fresh air."
The shop owner's casual use of the word "husband" inexplicably lifted Lee Yeon-seo's mood. She began slowly examining the underwear, and the owner eagerly recommended several styles.
"How about this one, dear?"
"What? Oh my, isn't that a little too provocative?"
"Come on now, you came out with your husband today. This is exactly the kind of occasion for something fun. He'd love it, don't you think?"
With the owner repeatedly emphasizing the word "husband," Lee Yeon-seo ended up purchasing underwear she hadn't intended to buy. The piece the woman recommended was far more risqué than anything in her usual collection—a so-called "string panty."
It featured thin straps that rested on the hips, a tiny scrap of fabric meant only to cover the most intimate area, and long connecting strings that formed an intricate pattern. While her own underwear was made from the finest fabrics, this one used noticeably cheaper material. Even so, Lee Yeon-seo felt no displeasure at all.
"Hmm... but will I even have the chance to wear this? We're only going for the day."
She had bought it on impulse, yet now she wondered if the opportunity would ever arise. They hadn't carried her bra size, so she had only purchased the panties. Even those weren't a perfect fit, but the elastic fabric would stretch easily enough.
"Well, I can always wear it around the house later. Hmm? Oh! There he is!! Seok-hun~~"
On her way to the café after her purchase, she spotted Kim Seok-hun stepping outside and waved enthusiastically as she hurried toward him.
Tap-tap—
Lightly, lightly.
"Huh? Mother-in-law? Be careful!!"
Seeing her running toward him, Kim Seok-hun moved quickly in case she lost her balance.
Thud—
"Whoa...?"
"Mother-in-law..!!"
Rushing forward—!!
Whoosh—!!!
Her foot caught on the perfectly even pavement, and she began to stumble. In that split second, Kim Seok-hun dashed over like lightning and caught her.
Squish—!!
"Are you all right?"
"Hehehe, yes, yes! Thank you, Seok-hun."
In his haste he had grabbed the first thing within reach—unfortunately, it was her breast. When she assured him she was fine, he quickly pulled his hand away. The moment he did, Lee Yeon-seo naturally slipped her arm through his and held on.
Slide— Squish—!!
Ahem... Mother-in-law really is...
It felt a little embarrassing to be so close in such a crowded place, but what did it matter? No one here knew them. These were people they would never see again, strangers with no connection to their lives.
"By the way, what's that?"
"This? Oh, I bought some underwear."
"Underwear?"
"Yes! But now that I think about it, I believe I fell for a sales pitch."
"Really? Hahaha."
That was entirely believable. From what he knew, his mother-in-law had lived exclusively in Seoul since coming to Korea, raising Seul-ah and Jin-ah. Because of her two daughters, she had never traveled far. Having devoted more than fifteen years solely to her children, she could easily be swayed by clever sales talk. Her comfortable wealth also meant she rarely encountered aggressive upselling in the first place.
"What exactly did they say to get you?"
"Hmm? Oh, they asked if I was out with my husband today..."
"Husband? And then?"
"So I said yes."
"Haha."
Hearing her explanation, he could see how the pure-hearted Lee Yeon-seo might fall for it. To anyone with a little experience it would have been obvious, but it seemed to have genuinely brightened her mood.
"But now that I've bought it, I doubt I'll have any reason to wear it... and he isn't really my husband, so I'm not feeling great about it."
"Hmm..."
Kim Seok-hun fell into thought at her words. Should he suggest something like their last date?
"Mother-in-law."
"Yes?"
"Why don't you have a husband?"
"Oh come on, you already know. We divorced."
"That's not what I mean."
"Then what?"
Lee Yeon-seo tilted her head, her clear eyes full of innocent confusion as she stared at him. Kim Seok-hun pointed at himself.
"Right here."
"Huh?"
"I'm right here. Kim Seok-hun."
"Oh my... Seok-hun, stop teasing me..."
"Hahaha. What do you think? Shall we be husband and wife for the rest of today?"
"Really?"
Her clear eyes widened with obvious delight at his proposal.
"Remember our first date?"
"First date..."
"What the people at the barbecue restaurant said about us."
"Ah! They said we looked like a married couple, but we told them we were lovers!!"
"Exactly. If we were lovers back then, we'd be married and living as husband and wife by now."
Squeeze— Squish, squish—!
As memories of that day surfaced, Lee Yeon-seo's arm tightened around his. The more she pressed, the more intensely Kim Seok-hun felt the soft, heavy warmth of her breasts against him.
"Hehehe, so we're newlyweds today?"
"Yes. Today we're a newlywed couple!!"
"All right, let's do it. Honey~♡"
"Gasp—!!"
Her lightning-fast shift in attitude made Kim Seok-hun's heart drop into his stomach.
"Seok-hun, come on. You try it too, okay?"
"Ah... haha. It's a little awkward to start so suddenly."
"Tsk, what is this? I was finally getting in the mood after so long! You suggested it first, but now you're backing out?"
"N-no? Hahaha... H-honey?"
"Pfft!! Honey, you're so cute♡"
Though he had been the one to propose the husband-and-wife act, seeing how much joy it brought her made a small chuckle escape him. He began to play along with her expectations.
"Hehe, then, my dear wife! Shall we enjoy a proper date?"
"Oh my? Look at you. Hohoho, yes, my dear husband."
"Hahaha."
Their date began like that—lovers on the first, newlyweds on the second.
"Honey, honey, look at this! It's so interesting!!"
"Hmm?"
Lee Yeon-seo, who rarely visited rest areas, found everything enchanting. Her eyes sparkled as she gazed at the various foods on display, and Kim Seok-hun simply smiled, quietly sharing her wonder.
Countless rest-stop dishes he had only heard about or seen online—so-tteok-so-tteok, tornado potatoes, baby potatoes, grilled squid with butter, and more. Foods she normally paid no attention to now captured her full interest. She bought one of nearly everything and began tasting them all.
"Hehe. Is it because I'm eating with you? Everything tastes so good."
"Really? If my wife says it's delicious, then it's delicious to me too!"
"Hehehe."
It was like watching a child. He had sensed it during their first date as well, but his mother-in-law was truly... pure. He found himself wondering what kind of woman she might have been if not for Seul-ah and Jin-ah.
Lee Yeon-seo, who had sacrificed her own life for her children, now seemed to be beginning a new chapter as simply a woman. And at the center of that new life appeared to be him—Kim Seok-hun.
After thoroughly exploring the rest area, the pair ended up staying a full hour before finally departing.
Vroooom—
Back on the highway, he listened to his excited mother-in-law chatter away for another thirty minutes.
Soft breathing... soft breathing.....
"Hmm? Mother-in-law?"
Her voice had suddenly gone quiet. Before long, she was fast asleep, breathing gently.
"Haha, she must have been tired."
Seeing her sleeping so peacefully, Kim Seok-hun adjusted the passenger seat from the driver's side, reclining the backrest for her.
Ziiiing—
The seat slowly tilted backward... and so did his mother-in-law... Huh?
"Gasp?"
In that instant, the seatbelt that had been nestled between her breasts began pressing firmly against her right breast as the seat reclined.
Flustered, Kim Seok-hun switched to autonomous driving mode. He moved to loosen the belt for her when—
"Mmm... it's so tight..."
As if the pressure on her chest felt uncomfortable, she slowly began lifting the hem of her top.
Hup...!!
What should he do? The belt... the belt...!!!
He knew he needed to undo it, yet in the end Kim Seok-hun could not bring himself to stop her. He wanted to see more of his mother-in-law lifting her own shirt.
For that brief moment, she raised her top all the way to her chest. The seatbelt rolled upward with the fabric, no longer pressing against her breasts.
Gulp—
The seat was reclined at roughly thirty degrees. Her top was now bunched up to her collarbones. Her enormous breasts were fully revealed. Even the bra struggling to contain them...
It was a black mesh-lace bra adorned with white floral patterns. Kim Seok-hun swallowed dryly without realizing it and had to adjust the massive, throbbing length straining inside his pants.
Right now... in this very moment...
Only one thing controlled Kim Seok-hun's mind and reason.
I sleep so deeply that you could carry me away and I wouldn't even notice.
He tore his gaze from her and looked at the navigation screen. There, he saw a single alert.
A drowsiness shelter. A place prepared so that long-distance drivers could safely pull over and rest for a while. Kim Seok-hun slowly steered the vehicle toward it.
Once inside the shelter, he scanned the surroundings. Fortunately, not a single other car was in sight.
The windows are heavily tinted... and there are no cars nearby...
With 15% tint on the front and rear windows and 5% on the sides, the glass appeared almost completely black from outside. Being an SUV, there was also plenty of interior space. Gulp—
Kim Seok-hun slowly brought the vehicle to a stop, then reached over and unfastened her seatbelt.
The moment the belt released, the soft flesh at her left side that had been pressed down jiggled gently, causing her left breast to sway as well. Because her top was already bunched up to her collarbones, the soft, plush skin of her belly folded slightly, looking even more adorably inviting.
That wasn't all. He hadn't noticed while she wore the beige knit top, but her jeans were low-rise, hugging her hips. Since no ordinary pants fit her hip and thigh size, these were made from highly stretchy material. As a result, the waistband pressed lightly against her lower belly, creating a tempting, rounded bulge that made him want to nibble it.
Her shyly hidden navel. The gently folded softness of her belly.
Gulp—
Kim Seok-hun released his own seatbelt and slowly shifted his body toward her.
Slowly... slowly...
The hand he extended reached for... that place of hers.
