Chapter Title: First Date (3)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
An adult novelty shop.
A store that sold items for adults—things for lovers to share in their intimacy.
On the first floor, the store displayed everything from racy underwear so skimpy you couldn't tell if it was actually lingerie or just a few strings pretending to be, to sexy cosplay outfits that would make a real police officer or nurse clutch the back of their neck in shock.
“……”
“……”
Oh-jin and Ha-eun stood in stunned silence.
He often exchanged playful, dirty jokes with her, but seeing such a full display of serious merchandise was quite flustering.
“Should we leave?”
“Huh? W-Well.”
Ha-eun, her cheeks blushing like apples, looked around before gently tugging on his sleeve.
“Wh-What, it's not like we're kids. Why are you acting like this? Let's look around a bit before we go.”
Ha-eun took the lead and walked into the store.
For someone who had spoken so confidently, her steps were as cautious as a thief sneaking in.
After a moment's hesitation, Oh-jin nodded and followed behind her.
‘Right, like she said, we're not kids.’
After they became a couple, he had naturally thought about a physical relationship.
In fact, she had made some active advances herself.
There was only one reason he hadn't touched her, despite all that.
“……”
Oh-jin's gaze fell to Ha-eun's right leg.
Thanks to the high-end, custom-made prosthetic, she had no trouble walking or running.
‘Still, it can't compare to a real leg.’
He wouldn't touch her until he could completely heal her body.
That was a vow Oh-jin had made to himself when they became a couple.
‘Once you get everything you've ever wanted… you're bound to get lazy.’
Haven't you ever done that? Finished ninety percent of an assignment, only to keep putting off the last ten percent with the thought, ‘I'll get to it later.’
He felt that if he didn't set some kind of restriction for himself, he wouldn't feel the same desperation to heal her leg.
‘It's not like I feel as desperate as I did when I fixed her eyes.’
Anyway.
He had vowed not to touch her until her leg was healed, but…
‘…This is driving me crazy.’
The adult products filling the space around him.
Especially whenever he saw the sexy lingerie and cosplay outfits displayed on one wall, his head grew hot just imagining Ha-eun wearing them.
He tried his best not to show it when he was with Ha-eun.
But Oh-jin was a healthy young man.
Living with a beautiful woman like Ha-eun, spending nearly the entire day together, it was impossible for his desires not to build up.
‘Endure… I have to endure.’
At least, until her body was completely healed.
He had to somehow suppress this explosive desire.
“Is this your first time in our store?”
Just then, a female employee approached the two of them as they hesitantly looked around the store.
She let out a gasp of admiration looking at Ha-eun, then shot Oh-jin a sly grin.
“We have fitting rooms here. Would you like to try something on?”
“What?”
Ha-eun flinched and turned to the employee who had spoken.
“Try on… you mean those cosplay outfits?”
“But.”
“Oh, I really recommend the police uniform. I've worn it a few times for my boyfriend, and he loves it.”
“…Really?”
Ha-eun's ears perked up.
The employee's eyes sparkled as she led Ha-eun to where the cosplay outfits were hanging.
“Having a few of these is great for role-playing, too.”
“R-Role-playing?”
“Yes. You know, stuff like, ‘I'm placing you under arrest~’ and all that.”
“……”
Ha-eun stared at the sexy cosplay outfits and gulped.
There were so many different types—police uniforms, nurse outfits, maid costumes—but they all had one thing in common: they were so revealing they barely functioned as clothes.
‘He'd… like it if I wore something like this?’
Ha-eun glanced over at Oh-jin, who was standing a short distance away.
He was pretending to be uninterested, looking elsewhere, but she could see his ears twitching as he focused on their conversation.
“I-I'll try one on.”
Ha-eun nodded, her eyes filled with firm resolve.
“Okay~ Just a moment!”
The employee ducked into the stockroom for a moment and came back with a basket full of cosplay outfits.
“You're tall and have a great figure, so the police uniform would look amazing on you! Let's see… we also have a school uniform and a cheongsam over here? Please, try them all on!”
“A-All of these?”
“Yes! Oh, and we have this bondage outfit for queen-play!! Please, this one too!!”
The employee, looking extremely excited, held out the basket of outfits she'd brought.
Her eyes held less of a desire to sell something and more of a passionate, pure wish to see Ha-eun in a cosplay outfit.
“N-No, how could I wear something like this?!”
“Ma'am, please! You don't have to show your boyfriend, just show me!”
“What is wrong with you?!”
Flustered, Ha-eun had even forgotten her formal speech.
The employee persistently pushed the bondage gear on her, but when Ha-eun finally grabbed the slightly less revealing police uniform and ducked into the fitting room, she clicked her tongue in disappointment.
-Slam!
“Hah, hah!”
Ha-eun had escaped the employee and entered the fitting room.
She looked at the police uniform in her hands and gulped.
‘He… really likes this kind of thing, huh?’
She’d said it was less revealing, but seeing the skirt, so short her butt might show if she wasn't careful, made her hesitate to try it on.
“Well… if it's for Oh-jinny.”
After a long hesitation, Ha-eun steeled her resolve.
Until now, she had received so much help from Oh-jin.
She had only ever received.
When she was blinded by the Heavenly Dragon's curse, and when she was kidnapped by Cheon Do-yoon.
No, even long before that.
In her life, which had been as dark and empty as a pitch-black night sky, Oh-jin alone had been her light.
‘Now.’
She couldn't imagine a life without him.
She didn't even want to.
‘I know this won't be enough to repay Oh-jinny for everything he's given me.’
I want to make him happy, even just a little.
I want to make him smile.
If it would make him happy, what did it matter if she wore a revealing outfit or acted out embarrassing scenarios?
For his sake, she would do much, much more.
“Hoo.”
Ha-eun took a deep breath and changed her clothes.
She put on black stockings, an excessively short skirt, a top that revealed her cleavage, and finally, a pair of black high heels.
‘A real police officer would have a fit if they saw this.’
The outfit was completely devoid of any practicality whatsoever.
“Ma'am~ Are you done changing?”
The employee's voice, full of anticipation, came from outside.
“…Ugh.”
Even if it was another woman, receiving such an intense gaze would be embarrassing.
No, in the first place, she hated the idea of anyone other than Oh-jin seeing her in an outfit like this.
“Oh-jin, Oh-jin.”
“H-Huh?”
She opened the fitting room door a crack and called for Oh-jin.
Oh-jin, who had been pacing outside, flinched.
“Get in here.”
“Are you crazy? You want me to go in there?”
“Hurry!”
As Ha-eun glared at him with wide eyes, Oh-jin hesitated, glanced around, then slipped into the fitting room with her.
“……”
“……”
A deathly silence fell between them.
Ha-eun kept pulling down the hem of her skirt, which was trying to ride up, and carefully opened her mouth.
“S-So, how is it?”
“……”
He wasn't so dense as to ask what she meant.
Oh-jin swallowed hard and slowly lowered his head.
The space was so small that they were practically pressed together as he looked at her outfit.
His impression upon seeing Ha-eun in the adult-modified police uniform was…
‘Fuck.’
Maybe it would be fine if she was missing one leg, right?
I mean, it's not like you can't do it without it.
Besides, if we go all the way now, I can just fix it later, so there's no reason to hold back—
“Aaaargh!!!”
“Aaaah! Wh-What? Why are you suddenly screaming like a madman?!”
Ha-eun stared, shocked, at Oh-jin, who was clutching his head and having a fit.
“Hah, hah. It's… nothing.”
“You scared the hell out of me, you bastard.”
Ha-eun sighed and glanced up at him.
“So, how is it?”
“Well… it suits you, more or less.”
Oh-jin replied with the most nonchalant expression he could manage.
His answer sounded almost indifferent, but.
‘He must really fucking like it, huh?’
There was no fooling Ha-eun's sharp eyes, which had watched him for over twenty years.
Oh-jin had a habit of twitching his left eye when he was trying to suppress his excitement.
Seeing the corner of his eye twitching up and down even now, it seemed he was quite fond of the police uniform.
‘Heehee, if you like it, just say so. Don't be shy.’
Ha-eun suppressed a laugh and subtly pressed her chest against Oh-jin.
“What part of it suits me, specifically?”
“Just, everything.”
“But I want to hear every little detail from my Oh-jinny's lips~”
“……”
Oh-jin's eyes narrowed.
‘Dammit.’
She saw right through me.
“…I'll be outside.”
“Are you sure you don't want me to try on anything else? They had a nurse's outfit and stuff.”
“No, that's enough.”
If he saw that too, he really wouldn't be able to control his desires.
“He gets so shy, that little punk.”
Watching Oh-jin leave and close the door, Ha-eun beamed.
It had been a long time since she'd seen Oh-jin this flustered.
‘It's certainly effective.’
Ha-eun stood in front of the full-length mirror in the fitting room, striking a few poses.
Her chest felt a bit tight and uncomfortable, but.
“Nice.”
Decision: purchase.
-Click.
After changing back into her clothes and coming out, she saw the same employee from before.
“Haaah. I wanted to see it, too.”
The employee sighed with lingering disappointment as she approached, then gave Ha-eun a knowing look and a grin.
“How was it? Effective, right?”
Ha-eun silently gave her a thumbs-up.
The employee giggled and clapped her hands.
“A-Ahem!”
Clearing her throat for no reason, she headed to the counter to pay for the outfit.
When they finished paying and went outside, the sky was completely dark.
“Where should we go next?”
“Let's head back soon. We have to prepare to go back to Korea tomorrow.”
“Oh, right.”
She'd been having so much fun she'd completely forgotten they had to leave tomorrow.
“Let's just get dinner and then go.”
“Wait, let's buy one thing first.”
Oh-jin said, searching for a nearby supermarket on his phone.
Ha-eun tilted her head.
“Is there something you need to buy?”
“Apples.”
“Huh?”
“I'm going to buy a box of good-quality apples.”
Now that they'd enjoyed their date enough, it was time to make the ‘Adam's Apple’.
