The Deceiver's Composure
Breathing heavily, I suddenly flipped Haru over as she lay trembling on the bed.
"Oh my...♥"
She was once again lying flat on her back, facing the ceiling.
Without giving her a chance to catch her breath, I folded her knees tightly toward her chest.
Then I firmly draped her sweat-soaked legs over my shoulders.
With her hips lifted high, I positioned myself to drive deep downward into her.
In a position like this, surely nothing would go to waste.
"U-Uhyeon... this position is so embarrassing...♥"
With every intimate part of her fully exposed, Haru turned her face away in shame.
I guided my still-burning length toward her once more and slowly buried it to the hilt.
Thrust... ♥
"Haaah...♥ Ah... aaah...♥"
Her back arched as a cry escaped her lips.
Putting my full weight into each movement, I began driving into her with slow, powerful strokes, as though plowing a field.
Each thrust relentlessly pressed against her deepest point. ♥
Press... press... ♥
"Hoooh... Uhyeon... this position is dangerous...♥"
By now, Haru seemed to have forgotten all about embarrassment. She waved her arms helplessly through the air as pleasure overwhelmed her.
Each forceful downward thrust sent waves coursing through her body.
Encouraged by her breathless praise, I drove even deeper, moving with untamed intensity.
Thrust. ♥
Thrust. ♥
"Haa... haa... You feel so unbelievably tight... I'm going to make you pregnant no matter what!"
"Hii...♥ I love it! Don't stop...♥ I love you so much...♥"
Even as tears streamed down her cheeks, Haru lifted her hips toward me, as if afraid I might stop.
She pleaded in the sweetest voice for me to keep going.
Naturally, I answered her plea, pouring every last ounce of strength into each movement.
Thrust. ♥
Thrust. ♥
Push... ♥
How long had I continued like that?
Creak... creak...
At last, my stamina began to fail.
The pace of my hips slowed noticeably.
"Haa... haa... haa..."
My lungs burned with every breath.
As my movements weakened, Haru gradually seemed to regain her senses.
She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked up at me.
The expression of abandon that had filled her face moments ago was gone.
Instead, she gazed at me with nothing but warmth and affection.
"Uhyeon... you're amazing. You're trying so hard for me...♥"
She gently brushed my sweat-damp bangs away from my forehead.
Her sincere praise filled my heart.
Exhausted, I lowered myself until I was nearly lying on top of her.
At that moment...
Haru lifted her upper body slightly.
Wrapping both arms firmly around my neck, she pulled me close and kissed me as though she never wanted to let go.
Smack. ♥
"Mmh... mmh...♥"
Her warm tongue eagerly sought mine.
This heartfelt kiss was everything.
As she gently entwined her tongue with mine, it felt as though my thoughts melted away.
"Haa... haa...♥"
A silver thread stretched briefly between our lips.
Breathing heavily, she looked deeply into my eyes.
"I've had enough... Now... fill me completely.♥"
I couldn't hold back any longer.
"Haru...!"
Gripping her legs tightly, I pressed forward one last time...
Then I released everything I had been holding back.
"Ah...!"
Her body tightened around me as she accepted every last moment.
"That's a lot...♥ I can feel it..."
"Haru... haa... haa..."
She stared at my face for a long moment, fascinated by the intensity of the moment we shared.
"You did so well... Come here... let me hold you..."
And then...
Time quietly passed.
Our racing heartbeats gradually slowed, and the room returned to stillness.
With her face resting against my chest, Haru held me close and whispered softly,
"Uhyeon..."
"Yes?"
"It was... wonderful.♥"
There wasn't a trace of deceit in her voice—only pure happiness.
I gently stroked her sweat-damp back as I replied,
"Me too. Being with you... I thought my heart was going to burst."
Resting our foreheads together, we shyly held each other's gaze.
"............♥"
The two of us had spent our entire lives as family.
Now, every barrier between us had disappeared, and we lay together as a perfect pair, holding one another close.
Even so, a small worry began to stir in the back of my mind.
Tap.
I gently touched my nose against hers and asked the question that had been bothering me.
"Haru... do you think you might really be pregnant?"
Only moments ago, she'd been tearfully begging me to fill her womb and saying she'd give birth to my child.
At my question, Haru blinked in surprise before knitting her brows thoughtfully.
"Hmm... I'm not really sure..."
Still holding me, she rested her chin on one hand and began thinking seriously.
"As far as I know, pregnancy isn't something that happens that easily. And girls have their monthly cycle... I'm sure that has something to do with it."
It was adorable watching her piece together the bits of knowledge she'd learned from Mama. It wasn't as graphic or detailed as the books we'd come across before, but she was doing her best to remember.
"I think... tomorrow I'll have to ask Yuhee and look through some books. I vaguely remember hearing that the chances are higher if it happens during a certain part of the monthly cycle..."
Her calm, practical analysis brought us back to reality.
For a while, we simply lay there in silence.
I absentmindedly played with the strands of hair spread across the bedsheet.
"Then tomorrow, when the lights in the sky come on... let's go report to Mama. Tell her we've completed her order."
We had to do what needed to be done.
But the moment she heard those words, Haru's expression darkened ever so slightly.
"Uhyeon..."
She looked at me with gentle, affectionate eyes.
"Are you... really going to choose me?"
Her voice carried joy...
...and profound sadness.
"If you choose me, I'll be happier than I've ever been in my life. It'll feel like I've gained the whole world."
She paused.
"But seeing the others get hurt... that would make me even sadder."
"......"
"I told you before... There might be someone else who loves you just as much as I do. If you end up with me, those girls could spend the rest of their lives lonely and heartbroken."
Haru...
"Anyway, even if the electricity in this mansion were cut off tomorrow, I still think you should take more time to think about your decision. This is something that will affect the rest of your life."
Her unwavering gaze met mine.
"I... want us to compete fairly."
The sheer selflessness of those words took my breath away.
More than claiming love for herself, the eldest sister feared the pain that would be left behind for her younger sisters.
I gently cupped her cheek.
"Haru... are you really okay with that? You don't have to force yourself."
I couldn't help worrying about her.
"You can be a little selfish too."
"You can tell me you want me all to yourself."
"..."
Huh.
Wait...
What?
Instead of looking moved by my concern...
The corners of Haru's lips slowly curved upward.
"Hehe."
She smiled.
At the same time, her generous chest swayed gently against me.
Bounce. ♥
"Because..."
Her eyes sparkled with playful confidence...
...and unmistakable allure.
"I don't think I could lose to any of the others."
Thump.
For a moment, I almost forgot how to breathe.
Ah...
Ahhh...!
I finally understood.
Maybe Haru wasn't simply a kind-hearted older sister weighed down by responsibility and determined to be fair.
Maybe...
Even if everyone competed on equal footing, she possessed absolute confidence that, as a woman, she would never lose to any of the others.
All this time...
All of us in this house...
We'd assumed she was someone trapped by responsibility, sacrificing herself for everyone else's sake.
But perhaps that assumption itself had been our arrogance.
We'd decided, on our own, that she was nothing more than gentle, kind, and fragile.
A conceited misunderstanding.
I'd always believed she was someone who only knew how to sacrifice herself because of her sense of duty.
Yet the smile she wore just now...
It wasn't the smile of someone resigned to self-sacrifice.
It was the composure of someone who believed completely in herself.
The quiet confidence of someone certain she would win, no matter what anyone else did.
Perhaps all the kindness she'd shown...
...was simply the relaxed grace of someone already convinced victory belonged to her.
A thrilling chill ran down my spine.
Hasun, Hari, Jiha...
Even calculating Yuhee probably hadn't realized what Haru was truly thinking.
I still didn't know if that was all there was to her.
But one thing had become clear.
I still didn't fully understand Haru.
Perhaps even this realization was only a tiny fragment of who she really was.
"Haru... you really are..."
Snuggle. ♥
As I let out a helpless laugh and shook my head, Haru gently pulled my face into her soft, ample embrace.
"Mmm...♥ So don't worry."
The sweet scent of her skin filled my senses.
"For now, let's just sleep together. Then we'll wake up before dawn and wash up before anyone else notices."
"Otherwise, everyone will figure it out tomorrow morning."
She gently kissed the top of my head.
Buried against her warm chest, I could no longer fight off the drowsiness overtaking me.
The bedsheets were still damp from the traces we'd left behind...
Yet the sleep that embraced us was warmer and sweeter than ever before. ♥
