Chapter Title: The Outsider Who Can't Escape
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ Han Si-a fixed her gaze on my abdomen,
slowly walking toward me.
Just like a carnivorous predator cornering its prey.
Yoo So-mi watched her with a hint of unease,
but she followed behind without trying to stop her.
Damn it. Don't just watch—stop her!
...No. Wait.
Let's think about this rationally.
A high school girl like her against me, with my body toned from consistent workouts? She can't do much.
She's not drunk, so no weird behavior there either.
And if she does try something strange—which she won't—I could just shove her off with brute strength.
Even though the way she's approaching me, licking her lips, sends chills down my spine,
isn't this all just me overreacting?
Having thought that far, I turned my eyes back to Han Si-a.
"Haa... haa... Is Yi-an scared? So cute..."
Yeah. Not overreacting at all.
Her state was clearly off, so I decided to put some distance between us first.
...
But I couldn't move.
I'm not saying my arms and legs froze like in some comic—that's nonsense.
It's because I'd been staring so intently at them in their bikinis,
another important part of me had stiffened up solid, making movement impossible.
So right now, I couldn't even step back—I was stuck in an awkward half-bent position, desperately reciting the national anthem in my head...!!
With me frozen like that, unable to do anything,
Han Si-a and Yoo So-mi casually closed the distance and were soon right in front of me.
Han Si-a's gaze lingered on my abdomen for a moment before sliding up to meet my eyes.
But her half-lidded pupils held not a shred of rationality.
Maybe that's why I couldn't predict what she was thinking, what she felt, or what she might do next.
As I stood there tensely in front of this obviously off-kilter Han Si-a,
she stared into my eyes with those dilated pupils,
then flashed a bright, joyful smile and did one thing:
She spread her arms wide and pulled me into a tight embrace.
...
Too close.
This wasn't just a hug.
Her breath hot against my chest.
Her hair brushing against me.
And around my solar plexus, the sensation of two soft yet firm orbs.
Finally...
Our pelvises pressed perfectly together, lower abdomens with no gap.
...?
....!!!
Wait. This is definitely touching—blatantly.
Startled by the excessive closeness, I tried to pull my waist back to create some safe distance.
But Han Si-a immediately grabbed my waist with both arms and yanked me forward again,
resetting the distance between our lower abdomens to zero.
"Haa... haa... Finally caught you..."
Breathing heavily, she looked up at me from below with a smile dripping with sadism.
Her expression mixed mockery, pleading, and a jumble of complex emotions.
"Why'd you keep pushing me away? Huh? You react like this when you see me nearly naked."
I couldn't respond to her words.
And Han Si-a didn't seem to expect an answer anyway as she poured out more.
"You say no to watching a movie, kick me out of your room at the dorm, dodge every beach invite, ignore my bikini pics without a single compliment! Your monk act is over!!!"
Yeah.
It's all over now.
Irrefutable proof of my lust for her bikini body was sandwiched between our stomachs.
Desperate to escape this humiliating situation, I tried pulling my waist back again.
But she noticed and dug her slender fingers into my sides,
making my hips jerk forward instead.
"It's all out in the open, so give up. I know exactly what you think when you look at me, which parts of my body you like, and what you want to do to me right now."
This won't do.
If we stay pressed like this, it'll go too far to turn back.
Her eyes had lost focus,
and I was starting to feel the urge to scoop her up and drag her to some dark corner.
If this kept up, something was bound to happen.
Thanks to 35 years of common sense and social norms built up since regressing,
my rationality barely held on,
and I desperately averted my gaze from the bundle of temptation before me.
But seeing that, Han Si-a hardened her expression and spoke in a voice cold enough to freeze my bones.
"What? Don't look away on your own. Open your eyes wide and look properly. Every guy around here except you is ogling me and So-mi like crazy. You gonna be the only one who doesn't? Huh? Only you the monk, only you pure?? You want my body just like the rest!"
She's right.
Until now, I'd been so entranced by their bikinis that I hadn't noticed,
but all the guys nearby were sneaking peeks at my friends' bodies.
...
Somehow... it pisses me off.
I don't like other guys ogling my friends' bodies.
We're not lovers or married, but I want to monopolize Han Si-a and Yoo So-mi's beautiful figures for myself.
So I'll look too.
From closer than any other guy could dream.
Feeling her ragged breaths...!
Haa... haa...
My breathing grew rough, my heart pounding like mad.
My vision narrowed, an omnipotent high washing over me like I could do anything.
And Han Si-a, seeing me like that, smiled as if pleased and whispered in my ear.
"How's it feel? Hate it? Other guys eyeing my body besides you."
Her sticky, dark whisper lingered in my ear.
I wanted to gouge out every one of those guys' eyes.
"But you can't do anything about it. Because we're just friends."
Her next words hammered home the sad reality that I was powerless, filling me with bitter frustration.
We're friends now, but someday they'll both find great guys and live happily, leaving me behind.
A guy like me will just fade into awkward acquaintances who barely nod when they pass.
Frustration, loss, anxiety—dark, murky emotions bubbled up inside me.
It felt like they were manifesting, choking my throat.
And then, Han Si-a's sticky yet beautiful, devilish temptation whispered in my ear again.
"So... wanna be mine? If you do, I'd refuse any other guy even if they begged, and I'd do anything you say. Yeah? Don't think about going anywhere after graduation—just stay by my side forever."
Her whisper felt like it was melting my rationality and brain matter.
My mind went hazy.
My body moved on instinct, bypassing my brain.
...
Before I knew it, I was nodding dumbly in her arms, a stupid grin on my face.
"Good boy... my good puppy... hehe."
.
.
.
After that, Han Si-a kept her body pressed flush against mine, slowly pushing me backward.
I backed away without resistance, following her lead.
Then something caught my leg, and I plopped down onto my butt.
It was a small bench by the poolside.
Han Si-a licked her eyes over me slumped on the bench for a moment, then beamed with a flushed face.
"So-mi and I will go grab a parasol spot first. Come find us when you can walk again, Yi-an~❤"
Looking utterly satisfied, she skipped off lightly, and Yoo So-mi followed, her face beet red, giving me a small wave.
...
What the hell just happened to me?
It was so shocking, I had zero sense of reality.
But the stubborn erection still standing proud forced me to acknowledge it was all too real.
...It took quite a while after that for me to calm my raging desire and stand up.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ *** - Yoo So-mi's POV
Si-a walked with light, bouncy steps, unable to hide her excitement.
But aware of Yi-an's gaze still on us, she kept an elegant posture without being too playful.
And once we rounded the fence corner, out of his sight,
she finally jumped up and down like a kid, squealing in joy.
"Kyaaah! So-mi! I did it!! Yi-an nodded! So now I can be with him even after graduation, right? Right?!"
When I saw Si-a's pupils dilate the moment she spotted Yi-an,
I'd briefly wondered if I should stop her.
Her impulsive behavior made me worry Yi-an might get scared and run.
...
But he couldn't run.
Luckily, our bikini swimsuits were enough to root him in place,
and Si-a successfully captured and "cooked" the escape-less Yi-an.
"Haa... haa... So-mi. My heart's still pounding so hard... I can't calm down..."
Si-a, usually so even-keeled with faint expressions, looked like any ordinary teenage girl right now.
She clutched her chest with both arms, breathing raggedly, body trembling.
Her face still flushed, sweat pouring from her skin.
She'd given in to impulse and instinct upon seeing Yi-an's body, cornering him,
but now that the blood rush faded, she was starting to realize just how bold and embarrassing her actions had been.
To help her calm down, I pulled her into a tight hug.
After staying in my arms for a while, still trembling occasionally,
she smiled softly at me and spoke.
"I rushed it more than I thought and surprised you, huh? Sorry, So-mi..."
"Yeah... no, Si-a. I was surprised, but now that you finished quick, I can take my time more leisurely."
Si-a and I had conspired.
It was our secret plan, hatched in her family car even before buying the photo-shoot swimsuits.
Anxious about another girl snatching him, we'd plotted.
Before this summer break ended, use our bikini bodies to the max...
to close the distance with Yi-an in one go.
So close no other girl could squeeze in.
...
Si-a executed the plan perfectly,
so now it's my turn, Yi-an.
.
.
.
We claimed a parasol and sunbed spot away from prying eyes and unpacked.
Yi-an, hit by Si-a's full-body assault, would take time to recover,
so we decided to lie on the sunbeds under the parasol shade and wait.
I settled on mine first, and as Si-a went to lie on the one next to me...
-Slap!
"Kyaa! Why'd you suddenly spank me, So-mi..."
"Si-a. You should go to the showers and rinse off that sweat before lying down."
"..."
Hearing me, Si-a silently wrapped a large towel around herself to cover up, then hurried toward the showers.
