Chapter 23: Push and Pull (2)
Bba bba bbabba bba bbarabba bba—
I shut off the alarm, which I’d set for the first time in a while, before it could finish its tune and forced myself up.
“Haaaah—”
Was this the first time I’d woken up at this hour in three weeks?
To get the sleep out of my eyes, I went into the bathroom, washed my face, and looked in the mirror.
“I’m starting to look more human, hmm.”
As I lost weight, my features began to stand out more, and the acne that had plastered my skin started to disappear. I was actually starting to look decent.
“With a base like this, I don’t think I need to worry about my natural looks.”
Height, weight, even the size of my dick.
Even for me, someone who could make anything grow, messing with my face wasn’t so easy.
What good would it do to focus my growth power on my face? And what about smashing the bones to reshape it?
“Hah, it’s not that it’s impossible…”
It’s just… very difficult.
The slightest bit of excessive force could damage the brain nearby.
Thankfully, my natural face didn’t seem bad, so I probably wouldn’t have to consider such major reconstruction.
If it’s a little lacking, I can just touch it up a bit here and there.
After I finished brushing my teeth and returned to my room, I saw a silhouette through the glass pane of the door.
Just from the curvy figure, I could tell it was the ajumma.
“Hah, seriously…”
How is a body like that even possible at her age?
And she’s not even an Awakened Being, just a normal person.
Even though she was standing right at the door, the ajumma couldn’t bring herself to knock as easily as she used to.
“Hmm… something about her definitely seems a little different.”
The ajumma had clearly gone through a change.
I could tell just from the demanding tone she’d used yesterday when she forced me to go for a morning workout.
Because in this body’s memories, the ajumma had never spoken like that before.
As I was staring blankly, wondering when she would knock, her arm moved.
Knock, knock, knock!
“Do-jin…? Are you ready?”
Her tone was strange and awkward.
I paused for a moment before answering her in a slightly louder voice.
“Yeah, just a second!”
I was already ready, but I made a show of getting ready now, making some noise before slowly opening the door and stepping out.
The moment I saw the ajumma standing a little way from the door, my jaw dropped without me realizing it.
Leggings, a tank top, and a thin jumper thrown over it.
Her outfit was the same as before.
And yet.
Did the leggings look excessively tight just because it’s been a while since I’ve seen her in them…?
“What’s wrong…?”
The ajumma asked, looking puzzled at my dazed expression.
I quickly collected myself and shook my head.
“Ah, it’s nothing. Let’s get going.”
“Okay.”
I followed the ajumma down the stairs as she led the way.
All the while, my gaze was fixed on her ass, jiggling right in front of me.
No matter how I thought about it, something was strange.
I know they’re leggings, but I don’t remember them being that tight.
This was nothing short of violence.
An overwhelming visual assault.
My mind was filled with the urge to reach out and grab that ass right this second.
“Hoo…”
If I did that, it would be all over.
Just as you have to let rice steam after it’s cooked, there’s a right time for everything.
The workout began in earnest.
Watching the ajumma choose the exact same route as before, I was struck by a thought.
That she was an incredibly strong person.
A normal person who encounters a monster suffers from intense trauma.
Even if not, it’s normal to be too scared to even piss in that direction for a while.
But the ajumma was walking forward confidently.
“The weather’s been really nice lately, hasn’t it?”
“Yes… it’s nice.”
I wasn’t sure if I was talking about the weather or the ajumma’s ass right in front of me.
The ajumma, who should normally be about ten steps ahead, was now only three or four steps ahead.
Which meant the ass that should be further away was now much closer.
What is this, really?
Is this some kind of side effect from not seeing her for three weeks?
I don’t know why every little thing is getting to me.
Walking along, completely mesmerized by her ass, we soon arrived at the park.
“There’s no one at the park these days.”
The ajumma was right.
Normally, this place would be full of ajummas doing back-slapping exercises and ajeossis sitting on benches.
But right now, there was no one here but us.
“I guess everyone’s fear hasn’t subsided yet.”
That’s the thing about fear.
Even after the source is gone, the afterimage lingers in your mind for quite a long time.
In a very vivid form, at that.
Unlike the ajumma, other people were probably still fighting that fear.
“I probably shouldn’t say this, but it’s more comfortable without them, kiddo.”
As she said this, the ajumma took off her jumper.
The white tank top holding her large breasts firmly in place and her smooth, exposed stomach immediately caught my eye.
I forced my gaze upward and asked her.
“In what way?”
The ajumma blushed slightly as she answered.
“It’s a little embarrassing when the ajeossis stare, you know.”
As if embarrassed by her own words, she laughed awkwardly, “hoho.”
“I don’t know what’s so great about an old woman’s body that they all have to look.”
What is this? Is this what they call feigned modesty?
The ajumma’s strange gaze turned to me.
“Don’t you think so?”
“Uh…”
For a moment, I couldn’t breathe.
From the way she was staring at me, it seemed like there was a specific answer she wanted.
What the hell was the right answer?
I had no idea.
Maybe I should just tell her my honest opinion.
“Uh… I think I understand those ajeossis…?”
“H-huh?”
To be precise, it was beyond understanding; I sympathized with them 100%.
“Your, uh, your body… is amazing. To the point where it wouldn’t lose out to someone in their 20s.”
“D-Do-jin.”
The ajumma’s face turned bright red.
She didn’t look upset.
I continued.
“So, isn’t it unavoidable that the ajeossis sneak glances…?”
As I said that, my own eyes were busy roaming up and down her body.
Her chest heaved with every flustered breath, and the leggings seemed especially tight on her legs today.
Even the crotch part was slightly wedged in.
Is that the legendary camel toe I’ve only ever heard about…?
“Ah.”
She quickly closed her legs.
The moment I saw the camel toe, my dick started to get hard.
Ah, the mood was pretty good until just now.
What a disaster!
“What’s wrong…?”
Seeing my posture suddenly become awkward, the ajumma looked at me quizzically.
I spun around in a hurry.
“Ah, uh, I’m just going to use the restroom!”
And with that, I bolted for the restroom.
“Haa, fuck.”
I cursed, standing in front of the restroom mirror.
There was no way I couldn’t curse.
“The mood was so good, ah…”
If we had just ridden that mood a little longer, we could have gotten closer!
Can’t this damn young body tell the difference between when it should get hard and when it shouldn’t?
“I guess that’s what makes it a young dick, though…”
There’s a reason they say young people are full of vigor.
It’s because their blood is pumping so hard they can pop a boner at the drop of a hat.
“Anyway, I avoided the worst-case scenario…”
I’ll just spend some time here and go out when the erection goes down.
If she asks why I took so long, I’ll just have to make up an excuse about having a sudden urge to shit.
“Hah… but I don’t think this is going to go down easily.”
The stiffness of my dick was different from usual.
It was hard as a rock. It looked like it was going to take longer than I thought for the blood to drain.
“Should I call the ajumma and tell her to go on ahead…?”
Otherwise, I’ll have to keep her waiting for too long, and that won’t just ruin the mood, it’ll shatter everything I’ve barely managed to build up until now.
“Right. I’ll contact her.”
I’ll make some excuse and send her down first.
Having made up my mind, I took my smartphone out of my pocket and was scrolling through my contacts when…
“Uhm, Do-jin…?”
A voice I shouldn’t be hearing trickled down the back of my neck.
Trembling, I slowly turned my head… and there was the ajumma.
“A-Ajumma?”
I was so shocked that I stumbled backward and dropped the smartphone I was holding.
As the smartphone hit the floor, it made an ominous crack.
“Oh, my.”
Before I could even bend down, the ajumma rushed over with a surprised look and picked up my phone.
She checked it over and then let out a sigh of relief.
“Thankfully, the screen isn’t broken. Here.”
I took the phone back with a dazed expression.
Then I snapped back to my senses and said to her.
“But… this is the men’s restroom.”
As the topic that had been briefly forgotten because of the phone came up again, the ajumma’s face reddened once more.
Her lips, which looked especially red today, slowly parted.
“Because it looked like you… got hard again because of me…”
“Gasp.”
I hastily closed my legs, having forgotten about my crotch.
“Y-you saw?”
“Yes…”
The ajumma nodded shyly.
Fuck, I’m screwed.
I turned around so fast, how could she have seen it?
Is she so young now that even her dynamic visual acuity is young?
But wait a minute.
What’s the deal with her following me into the men’s restroom after seeing that I was hard?
While I was wondering, the ajumma spoke again.
“D-Do-jin, if you’re okay with it… should I help you…?”
“Absolutely!”
Ah.
I blurted that out without thinking.
