There was nothing particularly different from usual.
CZ cleared the path with her violent aim,
Jiyoon_0420 kept a moderate tempo while looking after the newbie,
and seowoojin123 used skills as instructed.
It was the same scene every day.
The only difference was the voice coming through the headset, which sounded a bit off.
"Ji-yoon."
"What?"
"Tomorrow too? That thing?"
"...Talk later. There are other people around."
A secret had formed between the two.
54
[Lee Ji-yoon]
─I'm off tomorrow.
About three minutes after turning off the computer.
Bzzz. Her phone vibrated, and Lee Ji-yoon's name appeared on the screen.
[Lee Ji-yoon]
─I always take Fridays off.
─School starts next week, so I'm quitting the part-time job too.
─This'll probably be my last day off.
Only now did it hit him that it was Friday. The week had felt so long.
He'd have to stop by the academy on Saturday anyway because of Lee Ha-yoon, but...
Anyway.
Next week, school finally starts.
He gulped down water with sweet anticipation and sent a reply.
[Seo Woo-jin]
─So, does that mean we're doing it tomorrow too? Sex practice?
[Lee Ji-yoon]
─Obviously.
─You skipping?
[Seo Woo-jin]
─Maybe not.
─If I succeed in jumping my sister-in-law in the infirmary tomorrow, we won't need to practice just the two of us anymore, right?
─Or am I wrong?
[Lee Ji-yoon]
─Yeah, right. I know you chicken out every time, so just come straight to my place after.
─I'll teach you all the stuff I was too embarrassed to show you today.
So many excuses.
She just wants to do it herself.
Better bring some condoms just in case tomorrow.
But school starts soon...
After sending a casual reply, he sat on the edge of the bed and checked the calendar.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.
And then February 28th, Friday, caught his eye.
He had regressed on the 19th, a Wednesday, so it had been a little over a week now.
Thinking it over, it didn't seem like much had happened.
But on the other hand, he'd gotten involved with three heroes and villains in total, so maybe a lot had...
"......"
...Hmm.
He set the calendar down and flopped onto the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Right now, he accepted the regression and was living it up for his own lusts.
But sometimes, right before sleep like this, he wondered why this had happened only to him.
And understandably so. It was weird.
No known Transcendent had time-related powers, so why had he alone gone back ten years? There was no clear reason.
The most plausible guess was that his healing ability included something that sent him back to the past right before death...
Who knows. He couldn't test it by dying again.
Just idle speculation.
"Guess I should sleep..."
His brain wasn't the sharpest anyway; no point overthinking it.
He shoved the jumbled thoughts to the back of his mind and turned off the light before the doll fluff could float up again.
Like that, instead of pondering the regression, he hazily recalled the Miren heroes he wanted to fuck.
Bzzz.
The phone by his head vibrated again.
[Crazy Bitch]
─Seo Woo-jin.
It was Yojora.
[Crazy Bitch]
─You ditched our company to become a health teacher at Miren?
She must have quietly investigated him for days.
For a moment, he wondered if she'd threaten him with his past.
But he pulled the fluffy blanket up to his chin and looked at the chat without worry.
She's just poking because she wants me to rape her anyway.
She might pretend to leak secrets to people around me, but she wouldn't blab enough to get dumped.
Just pin her down rough someday to her tastes, fuck her senseless, and she'd probably quiet down satisfied.
[Seo Woo-jin]
─Yeah.
─So what?
─Gonna blackmail me to delete the pics?
[Crazy Bitch]
─I backed them all up anyway.
─Just had something to tell you.
[Seo Woo-jin]
─What.
[Crazy Bitch]
─You and me. We're meeting soon.
He rubbed his eyes, wondering if he misread, then checked the phone again.
Meeting soon? Context-wise, it had to be the academy.
[Seo Woo-jin]
─At the academy?
[Crazy Bitch]
─Yeah.
Yojora nailed it down with a firm reply.
What the hell was this?
He grumbled softly, staring at the screen.
Large villain alliances often infiltrated academies with villains for intel, so villains meeting there wasn't unheard of.
But.
Before even considering the company's scale, normal enrollment was long past.
As a teacher? Yojora had no hero experience.
That left only one way for Yojora to enter the academy.
Infiltration.
Just one.
But probably not.
It'd be suicide.
Hating the world that abandoned her.
Disgusted by heroes' hypocrisy.
Or because villain life was badass.
Even the Most Wanted psychos gathered for different reasons had never stormed a hero-packed academy.
Meant they had some basic shit together.
And Yojora, a cut below them?
"Hmm..."
Student enrollment.
Teacher hire.
Crazy Bitch, incoming!
If not that, how else...
As he wracked his rock-like brain, the chat scrolled up.
[Crazy Bitch]
─So I need a favor.
[Seo Woo-jin]
─Favor?
[Crazy Bitch]
─You can use my body however disgustingly you want.
─Just keep my identity secret from others.
So that was the point, no matter the method.
At least this was easy to understand.
It just meant "fuck me however you like."
He replied that he got it and asked what he'd been wondering.
[Seo Woo-jin]
─Why are you coming to the academy?
Yojora replied slowly, her Korean typing still sluggish.
From her fingertips.
Very suddenly.
[Crazy Bitch]
─Something came up.
─There's a first-year girl starting there named Han Su-ah.
─I'll cover for you, so ruin her life for me.
A familiar name popped up.
For some reason, Friday morning felt different from usual.
Lee Ji-yoon, buried deep in her blankets, slowly lifted her eyelids as sunlight filtered through the curtains.
On Fridays, she usually stayed up all night gaming and crashed.
How long had it been since she slept properly and woke up like this?
One, two. Counting on her fingers, Lee Ji-yoon stretched with a groan and got up.
The spicy smell of kimchi stew wafted through the door crack.
"Huh? Breakfast?"
Click. As soon as she opened the door, her sister's voice came from the kitchen.
It was more like an extension of the living room than a real kitchen, so her sister was just four steps away.
Thanks to that.
She could stare at her sister's long ponytail.
...Yesterday, I tied my hair like that too.
With Seo Woo-jin,
in sister's room,
pretending to be her.
...Hmm.
"Y-yeah. Breakfast..."
"Hope there's enough left. I didn't make much yesterday, and after saving some for lunch, it might be short."
"We have microwave rice, right?"
"If not, we'll eat that."
Why do criminals return to the scene? Now he got it.
The drool she'd dripped on sister's bed while sucking dick so eagerly yesterday.
No smell left, probably.
She'd moved all the cum tissues from sister's trash to elsewhere,
but no smell lingered, right?
She'd messed up sister's room back to how she remembered,
but sister hadn't noticed anything weird, had she?
She'd vacuumed thoroughly, flushed all suspicious bits down the toilet,
but nothing missed?
She was dying to sneak in and check now.
Lee Ji-yoon peeked at the rice cooker and said,
"...Just one bowl left. Where'd you put the microwave rice?"
"On the shelf my toes are nudging."
"...G-gross, move it."
"What? I'm wearing socks. How's it gross?"
"Still gross..."
"You're dirtier than me, fresh from bed. Hurry and nuke it."
Lee Ha-yoon kicked her shin playfully, her sweet shampoo scent wafting.
Lee Ji-yoon took it quietly and sighed inwardly in relief.
Normal reaction meant she hadn't been caught.
If so, it'd be awkward tension, not this chat.
Lee Ji-yoon squatted beside her sister and pulled out a microwave rice pack from the lower shelf.
Popped it in for two minutes.
"......"
"......"
Between the microwave hum
and the bubbling stew,
Lee Ji-yoon hid her heartbeat.
...Only now did she truly feel glad she hadn't run into sister yesterday.
Even now, a day later, just seeing sister's ponytail made her ears burn.
If she'd seen her then...
Ughhh...
"Oh, right..."
"Eek...!"
"...? What's up, Ji-yoon?"
"N-no, uh, nothing..."
"Anyway, I noticed last night one of my pants was missing. Went into your closet?"
"...Pants?"
Thud.
She clutched her dropping heart and swallowed hard.
"Dolphin pants. The black ones. Yours are all gray."
"Oh, yeah. Saw it in my closet last time, wore it briefly, tossed it in the wash."
"Really? In high school, you hated sharing clothes with me."
"......"
"Well, black dolphin pants are cuter. Right?"
"D-don't know..."
"If they weren't cute, you wouldn't have worn them, let alone left them on my bed."
"......"
Natural enough?
Awkward?
Lips pressed tight, Lee Ji-yoon stole glances at her sister's back and patted her chest.
Sister seemed nonchalant, so she'd passed, but first big lie in 20 years—her fingers trembled.
Her past lies were kid stuff like "only two hours of gaming today."
...How do you even say it?
I gave your boyfriend a blowjob
and even did sumata.
"You want some?"
"Nah. ...Don't wanna mix up laundry."
Ding. Microwave done.
At the same time, a faint buzz from her room.
Sister was busy with stew, hadn't heard.
Scratching her messy head, Lee Ji-yoon went back, unplugged her phone.
And,
just like that.
[Seo Woo-jin]
─About practice today.
─Can't we just do it in your room or mine?
Her cheeks flushed red.
[Lee Ji-yoon]
─Wtf
─Are you insane? What bullshit is that?
[Seo Woo-jin]
─Tried it once yesterday, no need to mimic Ha-yoon noona down to the bed.
─Too many little things to worry about.
─Change just that, and we can focus better on practice.
─What do you think?
"......"
Words starting with damn,
or crazy,
or makes sense,
or bullshit,
or did you notice,
All scratched out and erased.
Glancing at sister in the kitchen,
Lee Ji-yoon sent,
[Lee Ji-yoon]
─Your room.
─Save mine for when you fuck sister later.
She glanced at her room's trash can.
...The tissues used to wipe Seo Woo-jin's cum yesterday.
Better tie it up and toss before getting caught.
