Chapter 27: Preemptive Strike (6)
Chapter 27: Preemptive Strike (6)
It was her first time sleeping in Kang Yujin’s room, but it was already her fourth day staying in this house.
Having grown accustomed to the space, Grace didn't find sleeping in Yujin's room particularly uncomfortable.
In her ruined world of Nippur, she had always slept fitfully, prepared for battle at a moment's notice, never letting her sword leave her side. Sleeping in a constant state of tension was her norm. Since meeting Han Shin, being able to enjoy a deep, peaceful sleep in his home had become a small but precious pleasure for Grace.
Before bed, she and Kang Yujin had shared their inner thoughts. Grace felt a sense of pride, believing she had gained the upper hand during their bickering over Han Shin.
Perhaps because of that, Grace had a dream for the first time in a long while. In the dream, she was training with Han Shin when the atmosphere between them turned strange.
Maybe it was because Yujin had pushed her to honestly acknowledge her feelings, or perhaps because she had resolved to be more faithful and proactive toward Han Shin...
Whatever the reason, she ended up having such a dream.
In the dream, just as she was about to lock lips with Han Shin...
Grace, unable to bear the shyness, turned her head away.
And at that exact moment, she woke up.
"Ah..."
Lying flat on her back, Grace stared up at the dark ceiling and let out a sigh filled with regret.
Why had she turned away in embarrassment at that crucial moment?
She regretted it deeply after the fact. It might have been because she had never kissed anyone before, but Grace made a firm resolution: she wouldn't do that in reality.
Waking up, Grace noticed the bed was near the window and saw that it was still the middle of the night.
She closed her eyes to go back to sleep, but suddenly, something felt off.
No matter how quietly a person slept, one could usually sense another's presence. As a knight with superior senses, Grace could detect the presence of others in a nearby space through their Qi—a skill that served as a sort of early warning system.
But she realized, belatedly, that she was currently alone in the room.
Grace snapped her eyes open and sat up, looking at the bed next to her.
There was only a large pillow and a slightly disheveled duvet on Kang Yujin’s bed. Yujin had definitely agreed to sleep here with her, and Grace had seen her lie down to sleep. She should have been there.
Is she in the bathroom...?
Grace considered the reasons why Kang Yujin might have left her spot. The first thing that came to mind was a trip to the bathroom.
However, Grace’s intuition was leaning toward a different conclusion.
Grace slid off her bed and approached Yujin’s side, placing her hand on the duvet and pillow.
There’s no warmth.
If she had just gone to the bathroom, her body heat should have remained, leaving the spot warm. But there was no warmth to be found at all.
This meant she had been gone for quite a while.
Grace knew Yujin was a powerful Awakener, so she wondered if something had happened that required her to leave the house.
But if that were the case, I would have woken up. Someone would have contacted her urgently, and she would have had to gear up and get dressed...
In such an urgent situation, there would have been enough noise for even a soundly sleeping Grace to notice. This meant Yujin had suppressed her presence as much as possible and snuck out while Grace was dead to the world.
This woman... could it be?
Grace recalled what had happened in this room with Kang Yujin before they went to sleep. Yujin had said she would no longer treat Han Shin as just a younger brother and intended to get closer to him.
Grace felt a pang of alarm.
She spent more time with Han Shin, training with him and going into dungeons... and because Grace needed to have sex with Han Shin for their level-ups, she held a much better position than Kang Yujin.
That was why she had been able to hold the upper hand in their argument and effectively claim victory.
Did she just beat me to the punch...?
Grace grit her teeth slightly. She hadn't expected Yujin to move this quickly.
"Whew..."
Grace took a deep breath, trying to calm her emotions. Despite her efforts, her heart refused to settle.
First... let’s go to Han Shin’s room.
Grace suppressed her presence, cautiously opened the door, and stepped out toward Han Shin’s room.
The living room and kitchen were, of course, silent and empty. Grace had learned how to move without a sound during her days as a knight, but she never imagined she would use those skills like this.
She reached the front of Han Shin’s door without a sound. Grace’s face was hidden in the darkness, but her skin from her neck to her cheeks was slightly flushed. Her expression remained largely unchanged, but her heart was pounding so violently she could hear it in her head.
Faintly, the sound of a woman’s ecstatic moans reached her ears.
Grace carefully gripped the handle of Han Shin’s door and slowly turned it downward, opening the door.
She opened it just a crack—barely enough to peer inside. Through that gap, a wave of sweltering heat and a lewd scent wafted out.
"Nngh♡ Chuu♡ Haah♡ Lick♡ Mwah♡ Ah♡ Haa-ah♡ Shin-a♡ How does Noona feel?"
"I feel like I'm going to melt. It feels amazing, Noona."
"Haah♡ Noona too... I love Shin’s giant dick♡ Mmm♡ Ah♡ Nngh-ah♡ Haa-up♡ Slurp♡ Squelch♡ Mwah♡"
It was right in the middle of Han Shin and Kang Yujin’s fourth session.
Grace had suspected it before even reaching the door, and the ecstatic moans she heard before opening it confirmed it. The two of them were having sex.
But seeing it in person made the impact even greater.
Grace grit her teeth, suppressing her indignation. She was angry at the fact that she had essentially lost to Kang Yujin by letting her take the lead. It was less anger toward Yujin and more anger toward herself.
Pathetic. I should have seen this coming...
Grace blamed herself for being complacent and underestimating Kang Yujin. Yet, she couldn't tear her eyes away from the scene of the two of them having sex through the crack in the door.
In her dying world of Nippur, monsters were a problem, but trashy humans were an even bigger one. In a world where everyone was suffering and monsters threatened at every turn, there were human dregs who sought only to satisfy their own desires. From bandit groups who pillaged and murdered powerless civilians to nobles who used their status to intimidate, and Awakeners who treated commoners however they pleased under the guise of protection...
Dealing with such trash had also been Grace’s job.
Naturally, she had seen the scum who committed rape, and because of that, even though she was a virgin, she had seen plenty of naked bodies and had a certain level of immunity to nudity.
However, given the nature of her past work, this was the first time she had ever witnessed sex filled with such affection.
Having only seen the aftermath of crimes committed by human trash and the victims whose lives were destroyed by forced violation, Grace had harbored a certain level of aversion toward the act of sex itself.
But seeing Kang Yujin and Han Shin exchange words full of love while engaging in a sticky, deep-kissing session of lovemaking was quite a shock to her.
While she knew intellectually that sex between people who truly loved each other existed, the horrors she had witnessed as a knight had left her with a prejudice that was now being shattered.
Even to her eyes, Kang Yujin and Han Shin looked like a pair of lovers overflowing with affection.
The layout of Han Shin’s room was designed so that the bed was visible as soon as the door opened, allowing him to move easily in his wheelchair back when his lower body was paralyzed. Because of this, Grace had a clear side view of the two of them...
And thanks to that, she could clearly see Han Shin’s dick sliding into Kang Yujin’s pussy at their point of connection.
The sight of Kang Yujin lying on top of Han Shin, continuing a deep kiss while moving her waist and hips to take in his dick, was intensely powerful.
I’m jealous...
The moment she saw this, envy hit her harder than jealousy. Grace was so envious of Kang Yujin sharing love with Han Shin that it was driving her crazy.
She wanted to fling the door open right now, walk in, and demand that Han Shin take her too.
But she couldn't.
No matter how much she had bickered with Yujin over Han Shin before bed, Grace judged that appearing now, when the two of them were having sex for the first time, would be disrespectful to Yujin and a wrong toward Han Shin.
Watching in secret, Grace held her breath as she witnessed the two of them reach their climax.
"Nngh-ah♡ Shin-a♡ I'm... going♡ I'm cumming~♡ Nng-aaaaah~♡♡"
"Urgh! Noona, I'm shooting too!"
Splurt! Throb! Squirt!
Perhaps because the distance wasn't that far, the sound of Han Shin ejaculating inside Kang Yujin sounded incredibly loud to Grace’s ears. In truth, it was proof of how intensely she had been focusing on their sex, and specifically on Han Shin.
She saw Kang Yujin, her body stiffening and trembling, collapse on top of Han Shin. With the face of a blissfully happy bitch, Yujin didn't look unsightly; she looked beautiful.
Grace hesitated.
Should I go back now...?
Since their sex was over, she thought it best to return, but her gaze wouldn't shift, and her feet wouldn't move.
While she was internally wavering, unable to make a decision, Kang Yujin sat up and pulled Han Shin’s dick out.
Squelch...
"Ah, ha-aaaah♡"
Han Shin’s dick, encased in a pink condom, slowly revealed itself, and the tip of the condom, bulging with the massive amount of semen Han Shin had ejaculated, came into view.
Gulp...
Grace had been holding her breath, but the moment Han Shin’s dick—filling the contraceptive device to the brim and coated in love fluid—was revealed, she swallowed hard.
It was because the bitch inside her was filled with anticipation.
She could see the pile of used condoms on the nightstand from their previous rounds. Despite Han Shin having ejaculated four times already, his dick remained rock hard and stood tall without a hint of fatigue.
As a female, she recognized that Han Shin was a powerful male.
Grace suddenly realized that her nipples had hardened and her genitals were becoming wet. She felt ashamed of her body’s arousal from watching Kang Yujin and Han Shin, but...
She cautiously moved her left hand and slid it between her pants.
Shifting her hips slightly, she checked her secret place—her pussy, which was damp with love fluid.
She managed to stifle any moans by covering her mouth with her right hand. Grace’s pussy, more sensitive than ever, leaked a spurt of love fluid at the mere touch of her finger.
Watching Han Shin sit up, pull Kang Yujin into an embrace, and begin to possess her fiercely again, Grace thought about how she wanted to be taken by Han Shin just like that.
As Han Shin and Kang Yujin’s fifth session neared its climax, Grace resolved not to give up on Han Shin and to approach him even more proactively.
She decided to be just as bold as Kang Yujin.
