Chapter 31: Push and Pull (10)
The moment I opened my eyes, I felt a vitality and euphoria filling my entire body.
“What is this?”
Why did my body feel so light?
For a moment, it even felt like I had woken up in the body of an S-rank Hunter again.
“Ah.”
Suddenly, the events before I lost consciousness flooded my mind.
I’d finally had sex with the ajumma… and as soon as I came, I’d collapsed into sleep.
“The ajumma is…”
Gone.
I guess that’s to be expected.
“Heh.”
I looked around and couldn't help but laugh.
She must have been in a daze after waking up, having committed an act of infidelity so blatant it was beyond any excuse.
“And yet she cleaned up in the middle of all that.”
The room was clean.
My room was imbued with a tidiness that a clumsy man's touch could never replicate.
The only thing dirty was the mattress I was lying on.
It seemed to have dried quickly because of the weather, but a funky smell rose up whenever I moved.
Ugh, the smell.
When I was smelling it fresh, right in front of me, it had been incredibly addictive.
“I should throw this out.”
Feeling like my nose would go numb if I lay here any longer, I sat up and spotted a Post-it note on the white refrigerator door.
[You should throw out the mattress. Sleeping on it will be bad for your back.]
“Pfft!”
A dry laugh escaped me.
I’d been a little worried.
Sure, the ajumma and I had felt an indescribable pleasure in that moment, but I was worried that would be the end of it.
I’d wondered if she would blame herself, fall into despair, and try to distance herself from me.
“Thankfully, it seems that's not the case.”
If she’d decided to do that, she wouldn't have left such a cute note.
What a relief.
“Ah!”
I was smiling, recalling the image of the ajumma lying naked, when I remembered the message that had filled my vision right before I passed out.
The deep pink mana that had enveloped the ajumma.
The message that appeared the moment I absorbed it.
“My mana went up by 5 all at once…”
I would have been willing to pay mana for sex that good, but instead, it went up by 5.
Isn't this the best example of killing two birds with one stone?
The important thing was the message that appeared after that.
I immediately opened my status window to check the message log.
[Successfully absorbed information that will affect the search for a suitable trait for the user.]
[Narrowing the scope of the trait search based on the absorbed information.]
[Absorbing more information will allow for further narrowing of the trait search scope.]
[Time remaining until trait discovery: ??:??:17]
“Oh.”
Information that will affect the trait search, huh…
It says the scope of the search has been narrowed because of it.
The 'narrowing' here must be a positive thing, not a negative one.
It probably means it has eliminated traits deemed unsuitable for me based on the absorbed information.
And there's the proof.
The part corresponding to the seconds, which had been hidden by question marks, is now revealed.
“How am I supposed to take this?”
Does it mean that even though it's shown as question marks, time is still passing, so I shouldn't worry?
“In any case, it's a good thing.”
Yeah.
This body shows cheat-like levels of talent even with an empty trait slot.
So how amazing will it be once it gets a trait?
But this raises a problem.
“That 'information' is…”
The message about collecting information appeared right after intense sex.
What could that mean?
Assuming the sex I had with the ajumma influenced my trait search…
“Is it going to give me a trait that makes me better at sex? Huh!”
That might actually be pretty great…?
My abilities more than make up for the empty trait slot anyway, so getting a trait for an enjoyable sex life wouldn't be so bad.
My goal wasn't to become stronger in the first place.
As long as it can make my life happier, I don't care what it is.
Yeah.
In this life, as long as I can be happy.
Whether it's something that stinks to high heaven or something that shines brilliantly.
As long as I can unleash all the desires welling up in my mind without holding back.
“Ah, I want to have sex.”
I thought my stamina would be completely drained after collapsing from one round, but that's not the case.
Just thinking about it for a moment made me get this hard.
“I wonder what the ajumma is doing.”
I want to have sex again.

When she woke up after dozing off, the first thing she felt was a heavy weight on her body.
A pressure pressing down on her lower abdomen.
Paradoxically, she felt a sense of comfort from that weight.
With a pleasant smile, she lowered her head to see the object pressing gently on her lower belly.
It was Kim Do-jin, fast asleep with the happiest expression on his face, his sweat-soaked hair rubbing against her stomach.
“Ah…!”
It came back to her.
The moments of ecstasy from just a few hours ago.
How she'd been unable to bear it, half out of her mind, her body writhing.
Her entire body had been consumed by pleasure.
Nothing but pleasure.
‘I really… did it.’
Just as he’d said, it was already far too late.
The sense of indebtedness from him saving her life, his shy face that contrasted with the wildness he'd shown when he saved her.
And then, the moment she saw the boy, barely twenty, revealing his lust for her and grabbed his cock.
It was already too late then.
She had just been trying her best to ignore it until now.
‘It's all meaningless now….’
She had now committed a perfect act of infidelity, one that was impossible to ignore.
While her husband was working hard in the provinces, she had done the unthinkable with another man.
“Ugh…!”
What is this feeling?
Unlike the feeling of endlessly falling toward a bottomless pit, her body felt incredibly light.
It was as if all the old, layered sensations that had built up over the years had been peeled away, leaving her feeling clean.
And so, she felt incredibly refreshed.
Between yesterday and today, only one thing had changed.
The intense lovemaking with Kim Do-jin, which made her brain heat up and her whole body flush just thinking about it.
That heated act, which felt like her entire body was melting, was what had made her like this.
“Ah…”
Her sex, pressed beneath his stomach, began to grow wet again.
When he had been thrusting his hips, she had been half out of her mind.
Suddenly, she felt it was a shame, a waste.
Since things had already come to this, she regretted not being able to fully experience the pleasure of that moment with a clear mind.
As the thought crossed her mind, she was startled and shook her head violently.
‘Wh-what am I thinking…!’
My mind must be going crazy.
Or maybe my body is.
She felt she couldn't stay like this.
The moment she made eye contact with Kim Do-jin after he woke up, while they were pressed together naked like this.
She felt they would have another heated session.
She no longer had the confidence.
The confidence to refuse his touch.
She felt as if her body would react instinctively the moment his hand touched her even slightly.
Seo Jeong-hee slowly slid her body out from under him.
“Hah, hah…”
After catching her breath, she went to the bathroom and hastily wiped away the mix of her fluids and his semen dripping from between her legs with a tissue. Then she came out, gathered her scattered clothes from the floor, and put them on.
A strange sense of relief washed over her as she covered her exposed naked body with clothes.
Her vision, which had been narrowed, returned to normal, and she finally saw it.
The state of the room, a complete mess.
“I-It's this… messy…”
It wasn't a mess of dust accumulated over time or carelessly thrown trash, but a disaster made of liquids.
They must have all come from her body and Kim Do-jin's.
“Crazy, I'm crazy.”
She tapped her cheeks and squeezed her eyes shut.
And inwardly, she accepted it.
The pleasure she had felt then was so immense that it couldn't be compared to all the experiences of her entire life combined.
With that level of pleasure, she thought, it was no wonder the room had gotten this messy.
“Th-this isn't the time for this.”
Before she knew it, the sun was beginning to set.
She had to make dinner for her daughter, who would be home soon, and she had to clean.
But she couldn't just leave this room as it was.
Her body began to move busily.
She soaked a dry rag with water to wipe the floor and threw the thin blanket, soaked with bodily fluids, into the washing machine.
While she was at it, she also took a little more care in tidying the things that had been roughly organized by a clumsy man's touch.
By the time she was mostly done cleaning, the neckline of her t-shirt was damp with sweat.
“Phew!”
Seo Jeong-hee looked at the neatly cleaned room, feeling a sense of satisfaction.
It was a moment that revealed her side as a homemaker.
“The only thing left is that…”
The fly in the ointment of the clean room caught her eye.
The mattress Kim Do-jin was lying on.
The mattress, its middle part completely sunken under his heavy weight, giving off a musty smell.
“There's nothing I can do about that…”
She might be able to do something about the smell, but there was no way to restore its collapsed shape.
Having no choice, she took a Post-it note from beside the computer and left him a message.
[You should throw out the mattress.]
She wrote that, stuck the note on the fridge, then peeled it off again.
And added another line.
[Sleeping on it will be bad for your back.]
It had no other meaning.
“Because for a man, nothing is as precious as his back…”
Especially for a young man.
That was all.
