Chapter Title: To the Hotel with a Drunken Married Woman

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Coach So-hee Yoo was in a great mood today.

Drinking with her close junior, Dae-wi Han, had been surprisingly fun.

It felt like escaping her stuffy daily routine for a fresh experience.

Their conversation flowed easily, and a subtly warm atmosphere hung in the air.

To put it bluntly, it felt like looking at her ideal type of man.

'He seems even more handsome than before, somehow...'

He'd always had a decent face and a great body.

But beyond that, he somehow looked even ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠more attractive now.

It was amazing how just taking off his glasses changed his impression so drastically.

Was it that men are shaped by experience and time?

Maybe becoming an official coach had something to do with it.

Somehow, she felt affection for this rising star of a junior—

"The Na-young I'm coaching says she likes me. As a man."

He suddenly dropped a bombshell.

"N-Na-young?"

"Yeah. She's pretty aggressive about it. She brushes up against me during training and even asks me out on dates."

"Huh... That's really unexpected. Na-young doesn't seem like the type."

If anything, Na-young had a super chic and aloof image.

She was popular but famous for ignoring all guys.

For such a Na-young to come onto her coach?

Considering her usual icy demeanor, it was hard to picture.

"That's... not just liking you as a coach, right? Like, as a woman?"

"Yeah. She even confessed outright. I won't go into details, but she subtly seduces me too."

"Hmm~"

At that level, it wouldn't be strange if she genuinely had romantic feelings.

Maybe she'd fallen for him hard during coaching sessions.

'That Na-young Han has feelings for a guy and is even making moves on him.'

...Somehow, a heavy weight settled in one corner of her chest.

Idol-level face and a glamorous figure—Na-young Han.

She was so young she was still a fresh college girl.

For such a girl to seriously seduce Coach Han.

Being close friends, So-hee could easily imagine the scene.

"Y-You wouldn't... accept her confession, right?"

"Honestly, I don't know."

-Flinch!

So-hee Yoo's shoulders trembled noticeably for a moment.

A reaction she couldn't explain herself.

She decided to chalk it up to worry for her junior.

"You planning to date Na-young or something?"

"It's more like I'm still thinking about it. Or maybe I'm wavering."

"A coach dating an athlete... isn't that risky?"

There wasn't any hard rule against coaches and athletes dating.

But there was such a thing as social scrutiny.

"I'm not saying romance or love is bad. But as adults, we have to consider external factors too."

Especially in a workplace.

That's why people warn against CC or office romances for no reason.

And coach-athlete? Even more so...

"Plus, Na-young's at that age where girls get like that. She might just be going through a phase."

For some reason, So-hee was earnestly trying to dissuade him.

She decided this was out of concern for her junior too.

"It's not that serious."

"In terms of maturity, it's probably similar. Stories of female students falling for their student-teacher crushes are common."

In So-hee Yoo's eyes, Coach Han really was a great guy.

It wouldn't be odd for a college girl experiencing a real man for the first time to develop a crush.

"Maybe your role as coach is to gently talk her out of it."

"I know that... but honestly, it's hard to outright refuse..."

"Do you actually have feelings for Na-young?"

"Well, yeah, to some extent. Na-young's so pretty, after all."

"Uh, um... yeah."

Na-young was definitely called the goddess of the Korean Sports Academy.

Even So-hee Yoo had never seen a prettier girl.

"And with a body like that coming onto me, it's like..."

Coach Han downed his drink, borrowing some liquid courage to speak.

"I'm a guy too, so it's tough to hold back sexually."

"Hmm..."

So-hee Yoo's cheeks flushed slightly.

She never imagined having this kind of talk with her junior over drinks.

"I don't even have a girlfriend right now. Sometimes I feel like I might lose control."

"That... must be tough."

So-hee Yoo knew how hard that was for a man.

Even ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠she, a woman, often felt her own sexual frustration building up lately.

How much more so with a beauty like Na-young?

It had to be an unbearable temptation for a guy.

"I can't even keep my distance because of my position. Sometimes it throbs, making everything harder."

The topic was sensitive, but Coach Han's face was serious.

He seemed genuinely struggling and ing over it.

"Especially when it reacts right in front of her... it's embarrassing even to stand up."

"Mm. I get what you mean."

Na-young was not just pretty but had an outstanding figure.

It had to be incredibly stimulating for a guy in his sexual prime.

His body reacting involuntarily, regardless of his mind.

"She moves intensely or wears thin clothes a lot. I end up hyper-aware every time, and it's tough."

"Hm... that does sound like a real problem."

So-hee Yoo nodded quietly.

'...Coach Han barely reacted at all when exercising with me, but if he's consulting like this, it must really be hard.'

Surprisingly, So-hee was aware of her own appeal as a woman.

She knew how tempting this body was to men.

And the one guy unaffected by it was her junior, Dae-wi Han.

So-hee and Dae-wi often met at the gym.

He was definitely different from other guys there.

He never hit on her or showed overt interest.

During workouts, he focused solely on training.

That was one reason she rated him highly.

...Up to that thought, something suddenly nagged at her.

'...Wait. He's never had that reaction with me... but with Na-young, it's so hard to hold back?'

It stung her pride a bit as a woman.

This body, meticulously maintained with yoga and Pilates.

She'd never thought it lost out anywhere.

If anything, she overflowed with confidence in her figure.

Shouldn't this be enough to fuel men's fantasies?

'My breasts and hips are pretty big too. And my face is decent enough...'

Of course, she and Na-young were different.

No matter what, Na-young was a perky early-20s college girl.

Meanwhile, she was already a married woman.

But she believed her figure absolutely didn't lose to young girls.

Honestly, she had that mature allure they lacked...

'No, no. What am I even thinking?'

She shook her head at the sudden impish thought.

It was disconcerting—an emotion she'd never have had back in the day.

She must be pretty drunk.

Her head wasn't working right as the buzz kept rising.

"Mm, how about watching the situation a bit more? Coach-athlete romances come with a lot to consider."

"Yeah, probably."

"Yeah. If it's sexual frustration, you can manage with workouts. I can help if you want."

"Thanks. Just talking about it eases my mind a bit."

"That's... good..."

Somehow, her vision blurred hazily.

She felt the intoxication rushing to her head sharply.

Maybe chugging drinks without pacing was the issue.

'Everything feels floaty and nice...'

It had been ages since she'd drunk properly.

Her mind was already slipping away.

Anywhere else, it'd be trouble, but today was lucky.

The person drinking with her was her reliable junior, Dae-wi.

"Mm..."

"Coach So-hee? You okay?"

"Y-Yeah... The buzz feels good..."

"You seem really drunk."

"Nooo~ I... I'm not drunk at all... Mm..."

By the time we left the bar, So-hee was completely wasted.

She'd downed high-proof liquor without restraint and was gone.

She could barely stand, stumbling, so I supported her.

Her hazy gaze couldn't focus, shaking unsteadily.

'Seeing So-hee like this is a first. Pretty ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠sexy.'

I don't usually like women drunk, personally...

But a beauty with So-hee's killer body like this? It was turning me on.

Even her light stumbles made those huge breasts jiggle.

And I'd steered her into this state to begin with.

"Coach, time to head back. Where's your place?"

"Hmm... Probably that way..."

So-hee pointed a finger somewhere.

It aimed at the dark night sky.

"You're pretty, Coach So-hee, but I doubt you live among the stars."

"Hehe! My Coach Han says nice things? Ahh... Feels good after so long. Wanna do one more round?"

"Can't drink more like this. Whoa!"

I caught So-hee as she nearly collapsed.

Light for her build, but the breast brushing my arm felt heavy.

From her state, she didn't have much drinking experience.

Makes sense— a woman with this body gets risky anywhere drunk.

"You can't make it home like this. My place at the academy's too far too. And your husband's overseas, right?"

"Mhm... Yeahhh... Isn't it?"

"How about a nearby hotel to rest? You'll get hurt like this."

"Yeah. Let's..."

Even drunk, the trust buff held strong.

So-hee accepted my suggestion without suspicion.

"To L-Six Hotel, please."

I got the out-of-it So-hee into a taxi.

Might as well go to a decent hotel while at it.

'Step one of the plan complete.'

I opened the app to check So-hee's status.

Then tapped the registered 'Player Coaching Card'.

The 'Player Coaching Card' boosts favorability and lust.

But what caught my eye was the new added feature.

This synergizes with heightened lust.

It amplifies desire for specific plays.

I'd already decided on the fetish.

First time using it, so I kept it simple.

Had to see how it applied.

'The biggest hurdle in targeting So-hee is her marriage creating a psychological barrier. Gotta break that.'

The taxi arrived at the hotel amid all that.

I supported the still-stumbling So-hee inside.

'...Back in the day, I'd never have dreamed of bringing So-hee to a place like this.'

I opened the room door and laid So-hee down first.

After a bit, she came to somewhat.

"Mm... Where's..."

"You okay? Drink some water."

"Yeah... Thanks..."

I poured bottled water into a glass and handed it to So-hee.

Her focus finally returned a bit as the buzz faded slightly.

"Uh... This a hotel?"

"Yeah. You couldn't give an address, and my place is too far, so I brought you ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠to the nearest one."

"Mm, got it. Sorry."

"It's fine. I suggested drinking, after all."

No fear despite being alone here.

Thanks to trust at 7—she believed in me.

"It was really fun after so long. Maybe 'cause I was with you, Coach Han."

"It was an honor drinking with you, Coach So-hee."

"Pfft! That much?"

After that, neither of us spoke easily.

Silence turned awkward, awkwardness bred a strange tension.

Hotel and bed amplified it.

So-hee was still lying on the bed, me sitting beside.

A married woman, but So-hee wasn't that old.

Young man and woman side by side in a hotel.

"......"

"......"

Even longtime platonic friends would feel it.

Alone in such a spot, impossible not to be aware.

The booze hadn't fully worn off, but she knew the situation.

She clearly recognized we'd come to a hotel together.

Her tension was obvious—like expecting something any second.

-Thump thump!

Flushed face and faint heartbeat in the quiet room.

So-hee was probably going crazy with excitement right now.

'But she won't suggest leaving right away.'

This was a pricey hotel in her eyes.

I bought the drinks—bailing would prick her conscience.

She couldn't go alone either.

Just barely sober, still heavy with alcohol.

She'd need my help... which she'd feel sorry for, and above all, she wouldn't want to end this situation.

'With So-hee's personality, guilt alone keeps her from bolting. And the hotel itself stokes desire.'

I wanted to bang So-hee too, but...

Her inner conflict and arousal were worse than mine.

Trust buff, boosted favor and lust, heated buzz.

Plus the fresh affair sex fetish I'd just triggered.

All elements urging So-hee to mix with a man ASAP.

Frankly... the moment we hit the hotel drunk, it was over.

"Haa... Haa..."

Finally, So-hee's breathing grew noticeably rough.

Her subtly trembling face showed her turmoil.

She might even be secretly hoping.

For the junior who brought her here to make the first move.

'But I can't do that.'

The relationship's start is crucial.

If she thinks I schemed with ulterior motives, trouble.

I wasn't settling for a one-night with So-hee.

If doing it, plan was ongoing meets and full cooperation.

For that, So-hee had to succumb to desire herself.

"Hey, Dae-wi?"

"Yeah?"

How much time passed?

So-hee swallowed once and cautiously spoke.

"Your pants... they're in an incredible state right now."

"Oh."

My dick had gotten hard, pitching a blatant tent.

Shape obvious even to a woman.

Inevitable physiological response.

With So-hee's insane body, drunk in a hotel.

On the same bed, no less.

"That's what makes it tough with Na-young too?"

"Uh, yeah. Pretty much."

Didn't expect So-hee to bring up Na-young first.

"...I see. Looks really hard."

So-hee murmured, reaching out.

Her hand gently stroked my dick over my pants.

"If it's usually this tough to hold back... want me to help just for tonight?"

Gripping it, So-hee looked up at me.

Her eyes brimmed with intense desire.

'Finally got So-hee to suggest it herself.'

Even So-hee Yoo, infamous as the iron wall married woman at Korean Sports Academy.

Seemed impossible to resist the lust surging now.
