A Warm Embrace
Mmm... It's called a pojangmacha...
It's much larger than a karaoke room...
In a karaoke room, you can't drink freely, you know.
But... in a pojangmacha, the alcohol and side dishes... come out much better...
"Are you going to a pojangmacha with men and having fun?"
"Yes..."
"You know...
If it's a normal couple...
If their wife goes to a pojangmacha with other men...
and comes back having fun...
Is there even a husband who can accept that easily?"
"Honey...
If you're going to have strange suspicions...
Let's just sleep...
I only want to talk about good... happy stories with you..."
Ji Hye-in turned over, her back facing him.
But then she slightly pulled her hips back...
And with her hips clad only in panties, she gently touched her husband's lower part.
Yoo Kang-soo was flustered.
It was clear now.
His wife was lying.
He had seen it with his own eyes and taken photos.
But why she had worn that outfit, why she had gone with men...
No matter how much he thought about it, the question remained unanswered.
From some point onward, it seemed the body had begun to control the mind rather than the mind controlling the body.
He wasn't entirely sure when it had started.
But he suspected it had been after seeing the video Yeom Seong-bong had sent.
As his lower part grew harder, his wife removed the thin one-piece dress she had been wearing over her panties...
Revealing her slim, elegant silhouette in nothing but panties in the darkness.
"You're tired from your business trip, right?
Just stay still..."
Ji Hye-in, still in only her panties, straddled him, took his penis into her mouth, and began to suck.
It wasn't unpleasant...
On the contrary, he was drawn into the comfortable yet lewd sensation.
Sometimes it was better to lie down comfortably and receive oral pleasure than to engage in rough insertion.
It was an undeniable fact.
Perhaps it was even a man's fantasy.
When marriage years exceeded ten, husbands rarely gave oral to their wives, and wives rarely gave oral to their husbands either.
Yoo Kang-soo had seen that somewhere in the past.
His wife's actions now were something newlyweds could accept.
She gave careful oral pleasure with her mouth...
Then the rhythm of taking his penis in and out quickened.
She sensed the moment he was about to climax, withdrew from his mouth, and began to stroke his penis vigorously with her hand.
Soon, semen flowed over his abdomen.
With her skilled hand movements, Ji Hye-in squeezed his penis relentlessly.
Only after ensuring no residue remained did she stand from the bed and head to the bathroom.
She wet a towel with warm water, squeezed it thoroughly, and returned to the bed.
She wiped away the semen on her husband's abdomen and penis cleanly.
The sensation was completely different from using tissue to wipe.
Using a warm, well-squeezed towel felt entirely different from a cold one.
It was like the water service at a high-end restaurant, warmed in a microwave before being offered.
She put his panties back on and dressed herself in her one-piece again.
"Tired, huh? Sleep quickly...
Ah, but... tomorrow is the weekend...
hehe..."
Ji Hye-in laughed to herself.
She nestled into Yoo Kang-soo's arms.
She was a dirty woman...
A woman who lied to her husband...
A woman who carried secrets yet treated her husband with such natural ease.
Yoo Kang-soo was thinking those things, but contrary to his thoughts, he was holding the wife who had just given him oral pleasure and hand-finished him to a satisfying climax in his arms.
"I don't know how many times you've held me this warmly...
You know, right?"
Ji Hye-in spoke.
"What?"
In the darkness, Yoo Kang-soo answered while tightly holding his wife in his arms.
"Before Yeom Seong-bong exposed it...
You had never held me this warmly before...
After retiring from the military and starting work at the insurance company...
How many times do you think we've had marital relations?
Maybe only a handful...
In four years, combined, it might not even reach ten times.
You didn't care about that, did you?"
"..."
Yoo Kang-soo couldn't immediately respond.
Ji Hye-in continued.
"It's not your fault...
You've had many business trips...
You're now entering your mid-forties...
Heading toward your late forties...
But I remember because that man always asked...
Whether you were having relations with your wife or not.
And he made me unable to do it.
He was obsessed.
He made me do all sorts of perverted things...
But with his own wife, he never even attempted the perverted acts he forced on me...
He always tried to control me, saying not to have relations with you...
If I didn't listen, he would expose everything..."
"..."
Yoo Kang-soo still didn't respond.
If he hadn't seen the scene where his wife had been in an entirely different state...
He might have been moved by her words and felt sympathy for his wife.
But...
Yoo Kang-soo wasn't taking her words at face value.
Just as all women who cheat lie...
His wife was also lying.
He was certain of that.
He had learned the truth because of Yeom Seong-bong's exposure...
But if Yeom Seong-bong hadn't exposed it...
His wife probably wouldn't have confessed on her own.
"He treated me like his own property.
He even cared about eating a meal with another man...
He always made me report to him.
It was like a husband with delusional jealousy.
The real husband didn't say anything...
But that man made me suffer too much."
Yoo Kang-soo silently patted his wife's back.
"Shall we kiss?"
Yoo Kang-soo didn't answer.
Ji Hye-in kissed her husband's lips.
It was unfamiliar.
A woman initiating a kiss...
Especially a married couple who had been together for a long time.
But the woman was lewdly sucking her husband's tongue.
Yoo Kang-soo thought this wasn't solely Yeom Seong-bong's fault.
Perhaps Yeom Seong-bong was also quite aggrieved, but he didn't feel that way now.
After the kiss, he fell asleep.
***
On Saturday morning, after a long time, Yoo Kang-soo went to the neighborhood mart with his wife to shop.
They looked at the goods and ate naengmyeon for lunch.
May was more than halfway over.
The weather was gradually getting warmer.
Their eldest son, Yoo Pil-jun, didn't want to spend time with his parents on the weekend.
He just played with friends or went to supplementary academy classes.
Yoo Kang-soo felt the child in his arms.
So in the afternoon, he went out with his wife, something they might not have done in years.
After shopping and eating naengmyeon for lunch at home, they rested, then late in the afternoon went to the movie theater together.
Before the movie started, Ji Hye-in whispered in his ear.
"After Yeom Seong-bong exposed it...
Don't we feel like we've returned to our honeymoon?
You haven't given me much skinship lately..."
Yoo Kang-soo simply smirked.
But it wasn't just a smirk.
He was having trouble making a decision.
No, he couldn't make a decision.
