Chapter Title: Dilemma
-----------------------------------------------------------------
A throbbing headache dragged my eyes open.
It felt like I'd just woken up after being crushed under a boulder weighing dozens of tons.
The bedsheets were damp. I'd clearly broken out in a cold sweat overnight.
I sniffed.
A metallic tang. And the sour stink of sweat.
It was only natural. I'd passed out fully clothed, covered in blood, without even washing up yesterday.
I held out my palm.
Nothing was on it, but the sticky sensation of blood spraying from those guys' skulls as they burst open lingered vividly in my mind.
Murder.
The word circled endlessly in my head, twisting my guts.
"Urk..."
The moment I sat up in bed, dry heaves hit me.
I stumbled to the door and pushed it open, staggering into the living room.
The empty living room.
It was so quiet it was hard to believe the chaos from yesterday had happened here.
And on the dining table.
A covered stone pot and a bowl of rice.
I lifted the lid slightly.
Cold doenjang jjigae and instant rice, all dried out.
Sua must have set it out.
Even after I'd lost it so badly yesterday, forcing myself on her only to shove her away and slam the door.
A sharp pang stabbed my chest.
Guilt.
I hadn't been in my right mind yesterday. I'd tried to drown out the shock of killing with sex—violent sex, at that.
With the one person who trusted and followed me.
"Haa... you fucking idiot..."
I spat a self-deprecating curse and headed to the bathroom.
I stripped off my clothes and shoved them into the washing machine.
I didn't even want to look at garments soaked with that blood stench.
I dumped in a heap of detergent, started the machine, and stepped under the showerhead.
I cranked the hot water.
Steam rose in clouds as the scalding stream poured from my crown to my toes.
I lathered a towel with body wash and scrubbed like a madman.
I scoured until my skin peeled.
I wanted to wash away every filthy smell and memory clinging to my body.
It took nearly thirty minutes under the hot spray before I finally emerged.
My body felt refreshed, but my mind was still heavy.
I roughly toweled my hair and changed into fresh clothes.
Then I stood before Sua's room—Guest Room 1.
I took a deep breath.
Knock, knock.
"Sua."
"......"
No sound from inside.
Was she asleep? Or just refusing to answer because she couldn't stand the sight of me?
"Sua, it's me. You up?"
Still silence.
I gripped the doorknob. It wasn't locked.
I hadn't locked it yesterday when I barged in.
I eased the door open carefully.
On the bed, the blanket bulged in a mound.
She was huddled under it, pulled all the way over her head.
I approached and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Sua."
I felt her flinch beneath the covers.
I spoke in a low voice.
"I'm sorry."
"......"
"Yesterday... I wasn't myself. First time killing someone—it messed with my head. I shouldn't have taken it out on you. I'm really sorry."
I meant it.
In this ruined world, she was the only one on my side.
Losing her would leave me alone again in this massive bunker. That was worse than death.
A moment later, the blanket slid down slowly.
Her eyes were puffy. She'd cried all night—her eyes and nose were red.
Sua stared at me with teary eyes.
"Oppa..."
"Yeah."
"I... I was so scared. Scared you'd abandon me... or kill me like those people..."
"Why would I kill you? You're mine."
Tears streamed down her cheeks again at my words.
She kicked off the blanket and threw herself into my arms.
She clung tight.
Her small, warm body burrowed into my chest.
"Hwaaang... Oppa... sob..."
I patted her back.
Feeling her body heat against me finally started diluting the terror of the murder.
We stayed like that for a long while.
Once she calmed, I went to the table and reheated the cold stew.
The bubbling brought a sense of peace to the living room.
We sat across from each other and ate.
Sua's eyes were still red-rimmed, but she obediently took the bites I offered.
"Tastes good. Even better than yesterday."
"Liar."
"For real. Seasoning's perfect."
The tension eased bit by bit.
After the meal, we mixed instant coffee and sipped it. I spoke to her.
"Sua, I'm heading downstairs for a bit."
"......Downstairs?"
Her face hardened again.
Where that woman was locked up.
"Gotta wrap up yesterday's mess. Can't just leave her be."
"......You gonna kill her?"
A hesitant question.
I paused, then shook my head.
"Dunno. Talk to her first."
"Be careful... She's with those guys."
"Don't worry. She's unarmed."
I reassured Sua and stood.
She looked anxious but didn't try to stop me. Instead, she sat on the living room sofa and turned on the TV.
Drama rerun sounds drifted out. Like everyday noise to soothe her.
The stairs to the surface—outside the bunker—and the basement came into view.
The same stairs I'd dragged the bodies out on yesterday.
Faint bleach smell lingered, but underneath it, the metallic blood reek still clung.
I descended to Basement 3, the prison level.
The air grew chilly.
I opened the storage room door.
Dim space. Iron-barred cage in the corner.
The woman huddled inside.
'Dildojalneutm'.
She startled at my footsteps and looked up.
She looked like hell.
Leggings torn, makeup smeared black around her eyes.
She shivered from the cold, looking pitiful, but I decided against pity.
This was the bitch who'd plotted with those bastards to kill me yesterday.
I dragged a chair in front of the bars and sat.
Crossed my legs and looked down at her.
"Name."
"......"
"...Hah, not talking?"
My voice echoed off the bunker walls, and she flinched, answering in a crawl.
"I... I Ye-jin..."
"Age."
"Twen... twenty-three..."
"Nursing assistant?"
"Y-yes... yes..."
I pulled a cigarette from my pocket and lit it.
The lighter hissed, acrid smoke rising.
I exhaled a long plume and asked.
"Who were those assholes yesterday? Your sugar daddies?"
"N-no... Just... people we met running... Thought it'd be safer together..."
"So? You wagged your tail on command, lured guys in, then jumped 'em when the door opened and looted the corpses? That the plan?"
Ye-jin bit her lip. Couldn't deny it.
"How many times?"
"......Twice..."
"Hah. Succeeded twice, huh? I was sucker number three."
I ground the cigarette under my heel.
Stood and approached the bars.
Grabbed and rattled them. Bang bang.
"So, what to do with you. Put a hole in your head like your buddies and dump you in the woods?"
"N-no! I was wrong... Please spare me...!"
Ye-jin crawled to the bars, reaching for my pant leg.
Tears and snot streaking her face as she begged.
"I'll do anything you say... Those guys made me... It's true... I just didn't wanna die... sob sob..."
"Anything?"
"Yes, yes...! For real... Feed me and I'll clean, do laundry... anything..."
I scanned her coldly.
Hip lines visible through the leggings, cleavage peeking from the short padding jacket.
Body was prime, no doubt.
If Sua was fresh and innocent, this one screamed cheap and slutty.
Smelled like she'd been around the block plenty.
The lust I'd bottled up yesterday stirred again.
If I'm killing her anyway, might as well sample first.
She caught the shift in my eyes.
Fear mixed with a weird survival instinct flashed in hers.
Her trembling hands tugged down her jacket zipper.
"I... I'm good at it... Oppa... I can make you feel amazing..."
"Oh?"
"Those guys loved what I did... Really... Just don't kill me..."
She shrugged off the jacket, spreading it on the floor.
Hiked up her tight tee, baring pale breasts.
Spilling out of the bra.
A bit smaller than Sua's, but perky and shapely.
She peeled down her leggings herself and hiked her ass up.
Shoving it through the bars to tempt me.
"Put it in... Oppa's cock... I wanna eat it with my pussy..."
Trashy line.
Sua would die of shame before saying it.
I unlocked the cage door.
Screeech.
I stepped in and grabbed her by the hair the second it swung open.
"Ahh!"
"Yeah? Let's see your skills then."
I slammed her to the floor.
Cracked my palm across her ass over the jacket. Smack!
"Kyaa!"
"Like that? You treat your other daddies the same?"
"Hng... Y-yes... Feels good... Hit me more..."
Crazy bitch.
Even as she took it, she wiggled her ass.
I dropped my pants, freeing my rock-hard cock.
No need for foreplay.
I positioned behind her, spread her legs, spat once for lube, and rammed in.
"Hiiik! Ah, hurts... Too... too big..."
"Quit whining. I know you're loose."
Bottomed out in one thrust.
Definitely different from Sua.
Sua was tight, squeezing like it'd burst me. This one? Slid in smooth and easy.
Spacious, slick walls.
But not bad. Just enough friction for pounding away.
"Haaang! Aaang! Oppa... Cock, cock so biiig...!"
I gripped her waist and hammered roughly.
Thwack, thwack, thwack, thwack.
Flesh slapping echoed through the basement storage.
"Aaaang! Ungh! There, right there...!"
"Feels good? Huh? After taking those murderer cocks, mine feels good?!"
"Yesss... Hng! Oppa's the best... Ang! Harder, harder...!"
Moans laced with nasal whines.
Trembling gasps teased my ears.
I smacked her ass repeatedly, never slowing my hips.
"Haang... Squeezing... Aang! Hit my womb... Ohot!"
"You squeeze like shit. Tighten up."
"Hng! Ung! Squeezing now... Oppa's cock... too big... Ang!"
With Sua, I held back to avoid hurting her. Not here.
Just fuck like an animal, however I wanted.
Sadistic pleasure surged to my fingertips.
I yanked her upper body up and mauled her tits.
Soft flesh overflowed between my fingers.
Pinched and twisted her nipples.
"Kiiing! Hurts, hurts... Ungh...!"
"That's the point."
"Heung... Nipples twisted... Pussy's getting wetter... Ang!"
Total slut.
Getting off in this situation.
I shoved her face-down again and railed her doggy-style.
Picked up the pace.
Thwack, thwack, thwack, thwack!
Squelching lewdness erupted nonstop from her slit.
"Aaaak! Ang! Aaang! C-cumming! Gonna cum! Oooook!"
"Hold it. I haven't yet."
"Can't... Hwaaang! Oppa... Please... Ung! Cuuuming!"
Ye-jin shuddered first, climaxing hard.
Her walls clenched, milking my cock.
That grip pushed me over.
"Hoo... Fuck, here it comes!"
I slammed deep one last time, flooding her pussy with hot cum.
Spurt, spurt, spurt.
Massive load.
Filled her womb with my seed.
"Hiiiik! So hot... Inside, you came inside... Ohok...♡"
Even after, I didn't pull out right away.
Hugged tight, squeezing every drop as I caught my breath.
Ye-jin slumped on the floor, panting raggedly.
White semen leaked between her thighs, soaking them.
"Haa..."
I slowly withdrew.
A pop, her gaping hole twitching.
I hiked up my pants and lit another cigarette.
Looked down at the sprawled Ye-jin.
Eyes glazed, staring blankly.
Lower half a mess of cum and juices.
Yeah... too good to kill.
If Sua was the one to protect, this one was a toy to use freely.
Perfect stress relief.
But too dangerous to keep alive.
Who knows when she'd stab me in the back.
I exhaled a long drag.
Pulled out my phone and snapped a pic emphasizing her cum-drenched lower half.
"O... Oppa..."
Ye-jin came to, looking up with a cutesy voice.
"I did good, right...? You'll let me live now...?"
I just smirked, no answer.
Stepped out and locked the bars again.
Clang.
"Wha... Oppa...?"
"I'll feed you. Behave."
"O-Oppa! Don't go! Open the door! Please?!"
Her pleas echoed behind, but I left the storage without looking back.
My steps felt lighter climbing the stairs.
But my mind was a mess.
How to handle that toy without risk, keep it fun long-term.
Collar her maybe.
Or just off her.
Better to kill than get eaten taming a wild animal...
Pondering, I returned to the living room. Sua had dozed off on the sofa.
Peaceful face.
Basement and surface.
Heaven and hell.
And two women.
