Episode 51: Park Ha-ru Goes Downward...
"Sorry..."
Sieun and I hung our heads in shame, completely silent, like guilty mutes who'd swallowed honey.
Even before the afterglow of the hotel had faded, as soon as we walked through the door, we were met with Eunhwi's icy expression — arms crossed, blocking the entrance.
In the end, unable to even sit on the living room sofa, we had to kneel side by side on the floor with our hands raised high above our heads.
"Sure! Two grown adults hit it off and go to a hotel? They can do that! Of course they can!"
Eunhwi paused mid-sentence, then, as if her temper was boiling over, popped a cold ice cube into her mouth and crunched down on it.
"Th-that..."
Worried for no reason, I tried to say something, only to catch a sharp glare.
"Hoo... But if you're going to stay out all night, at least you should tell the person waiting at home! Do you know how fast my heart was racing all night, worrying something had happened to you?"
"Th... I'm sorry about that...."
Though she was fiercely angry, when I sneaked a glance up at Eunhwi's face, I saw far more worry than hurt.
The image of her losing sleep because of us was so vivid, I sprang to my feet before I knew it, meaning to wrap her in a tight hug.
"Sit. Tsk! Trying to sneak your way out of this. You've only learned bad habits."
My heartfelt gesture was utterly thwarted by Eunhwi's firm command.
"Yes."
In the end, we couldn't budge from that spot: we had to kneel for a solid hour, enduring a relentless bombardment of scolding.
At least, thanks to Sieun whining that her arms were tired about thirty minutes in, we were allowed to lower our hands to our laps — a small mercy.
"Ugh, my legs...."
"Still numb?"
"Urghhh, there... press there, harder...."
As soon as the long lecture was over, Sieun collapsed onto the sofa claiming her legs had cramped. I naturally settled on the floor in front of her and began massaging her slender calves with care.
"Hup."
They say that as you get older, every action comes with its own onomatopoeia.
With a soft grunt, Eunhwi sat down right next to me as I worked on Sieun's calves.
In her hand was a container of cool-looking watermelon.
"You want some?"
"Yeah."
Eunhwi speared a piece of ripe red watermelon with a fork, popped it into my mouth, then immediately bit into a piece herself.
The cool, sweet juice spread through my mouth, washing away the fatigue.
"Noona, eat some watermelon."
"Urghhh..."
Even at my call, Sieun just let out a zombie-like groan with her face buried in the sofa cushion.
We hadn't even done anything particularly strenuous last night, but the fact that she couldn't bring herself to sit up meant she must have been truly exhausted.
"What's this, the watermelon ghost turning down watermelon...?"
"I know."
Sieun really loves watermelon. Her stomach isn't all that big, but the moment she eats watermelon, it balloons.
Two years ago, she ate half a watermelon in one sitting, and Eunhwi and I were genuinely shocked.
Of course, afterward she had to go to the bathroom once an hour, but anyway — that's how much she loves the stuff.
So the fact that Sieun wouldn't even get up when offered watermelon meant she was truly exhausted.
"Sieun looks wiped out. Should just the two of us go out on a date?"
Sieun tugged at me as if she were trying to sit up.
At that, Sieun — who'd been lying face down like the dead — suddenly extended her long legs and hooked my thigh, trapping me solidly so I couldn't leave the sofa.
"Where do you think you're going...."
"What the — were you asleep?"
When I'd been massaging her calves, she'd been reacting, so I'd assumed she wasn't sleeping.
"Give me watermelon...."
Looks like the first thing she opens her eyes to is watermelon.
I speared a piece with a fork and fed it to her; her expression brightened and she giggled softly.
Eunhwi and I watched her for a moment, then our eyes met and we both laughed.
"Why are you laughing...?"
Somehow she always knew when we were laughing at her; with her mouth full of watermelon, Sieun grumbled a cute little protest.
----
"Yes, come in."
"Oppa."
"Welcome."
Haru came into the office and immediately flung herself into my arms. I didn't dodge — I caught her, spun her around once, then stopped.
"Why'd you stop spinning?"
Haru asked, finding it odd.
"I thought we might bump into something."
I'd rearranged the office before the second semester, and it felt a bit cramped, so it seemed risky.
"Are you alone today?"
"Yeah, I'm alone. Are you done with work?"
"I have a little left. Will you wait for me?"
"Yep. Mwah, mwah!"
Haru and I exchanged light kisses, then I sat down and pulled the monitor closer to quickly finish the remaining work.
I did worry about Haru, but I figured it was better to knock it out fast and then be with her.
"Hmm...."
Lost in concentration, I turned my head and spotted the clock. More time had passed than I thought, and I started worrying about Haru, so I pushed the monitor aside and called out.
"Haru?"
No answer. I got up slightly and saw that she'd unfolded the sofa bed at some point and was fast asleep.
Even during the break, the sofa still wasn't being used as a sofa — a shame, but at least being a bed felt like a more satisfying purpose than not being used at all.
I spread a blanket over Haru and adjusted the blinds so the light wouldn't hit her.
The last time I'd blocked out all the light, it turned out to be too dark and strained my eyes, so now I was careful not to overdo it.
"Nnnngg."
I finished my work and stretched.
"Done?"
"Yeah."
Haru had gotten up without me noticing and came over, handing me a coffee.
"What the — when did you go out?"
"You were so focused, I left the door slightly ajar earlier."
"Really? You should've said something."
"You were concentrating so hard I thought you were going to climb right into the monitor."
"Was I that bad?"
"Yeah, you were like this."
Haru mimicked my posture, craning her neck way forward and frowning slightly.
"I'd better watch out. I'll end up with a turtleneck...."
"For sure. But, Oppa — you don't look like you're done yet."
"With what?"
"Work."
"...???"
"You still haven't looked at the proposal I submitted."
"What — submitting a proposal during vacation...?"
The proposals TAs submit are ones the professors request out of necessity.
So the proposal Haru submitted during the break is one she wrote entirely on her own. Occasionally there are people like that — submitting proposals during vacation, all by themselves...
To someone like me who wants to avoid work as much as possible, it's unthinkable.
"Ah! Just read it, fast!!"
Haru shook my shoulders impatiently, so I had no choice but to open the proposal.
"Hmm...."
I began reading slowly, but something felt off.
"It's, uh... long."
There seemed to be a lot of rambling, and the introduction was absurdly lengthy.
"Oppa."
"Yeah?"
"You can't move until you've read all of it."
"What?"
Haru bent down and slipped right under the desk.
"Haru?"
"Ah-uh! No moving."
"..."
Haru unbuckled my belt and slowly began stroking my cock.
"Oppa, lift up a little."
"You said not to move...."
Smack!
I grumbled for no good reason, and Haru slapped my thigh and glared. I had no choice but to lift my hips slightly.
Once I lifted up, Haru yanked down my pants and underwear in one go, stripped them off completely, and threw them far from the desk.
Ever since Eunhwi noona had gone down on me in the office that one time, I'd sometimes fantasize about it, but I never imagined it would be Haru.
"Hah~ Hoo~"
Haru blew a puff of air on my cock from below.
"Hoooh~"
Her cold hand gripping the shaft felt strange — a sensation I'd experienced once before.
The glans was warm, the shaft cold... just like that time with Sieun at the hotel.
"You sure you're okay?"
"Yeah."
After taking Haru's virginity, we'd had sex a couple more times, but she'd never used her mouth.
More precisely, she'd never gotten me off with her mouth.
She said she tried, but she wasn't very skilled yet — she'd sometimes scrape me with her teeth, causing pain, so it wasn't quite enough to make me come.
Still, I didn't stop her when she insisted on doing it, because it was more about the mental stimulation than the physical.
Like today.
"I practiced a lot."
"Practiced? With whose?"
Smack!!
"Aagh!!!"
"Whose would it be?!"
I made a joke and earned a slap hard enough to turn my thigh bright red.
"It was a joke, a joke."
"Even as a joke! I only have you, Oppa...."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
The slightly sulking Haru was so cute I wanted to pull her up and kiss her, but she was under the desk, and yanking her might hurt her.
"Ahem! Ahem! Now — let's see what you can do."
Haru occasionally slipped into a historical drama tone, and I'd unknowingly copied her.
"Wow... Oppa, you should never act."
She used to only praise me, but now that we're closer, she says things like that. It stings.
"That hurts, Haru...."
"This lowly maiden... may I taste the lord's member?"
She tells me not to act, yet she knows a word like "member" and actually uses it.
Since she said not to act, I simply stroked her hair and pulled her head gently so my cock touched her lips.
"Blep."
Haru stuck out her tongue slightly and licked the tip of the glans.
"Haru."
"Yeah?"
"Open your mouth."
When her breath and tongue touched me, I couldn't hold back; I pried Haru's mouth open and pushed my cock inside.
"Hoo."
As my cock entered her warm mouth, a sound escaped me on its own.
"Move."
"Slurp, slurp, slurp♥"
Haru slowly bobbed her head up and down, sucking at the saliva trickling out.
"Does it feel good? Slurp, slurp, slurp♥"
"Yeah, it's good."
She wasn't moving much, but the way she sucked her saliva and worked her tongue was still plenty stimulating.
"Slurppp, slurp, glck."
Haru pulled my chair closer and took my cock a little deeper.
"You okay?"
"Hnng... hoon... huuk... glck."
She was panting for breath, but she didn't take my cock out of her mouth.
