Self-Development ②
Haah... Haah...
My legs are trembling. It's a complete mess.
My whole body convulsed like a rabbit after mating.
I clung to Lee Sehyeon and moaned pathetically.
"It won't do anymore... I can't do it."
Thud. I forgot all dignity and collapsed onto the bench.
Like a dog submitting, my butt was sticking out.
"U, uheeaeek..."
I ran until I was exhausted. My vision was yellow.
With depleted stamina, I panted and twitched.
"Already tired? You didn't even run that much."
Lee Sehyeon looked at me with disappointment.
"Rabbit mating ends in 3 seconds. In just 3 seconds, you get as tired as human sex... Hooeek."
I explained the relative difference in stamina to Lee Sehyeon.
But Lee Sehyeon still had a displeased expression.
"Are you a rabbit?"
Lee Sehyeon was being quite tsundere from the beginning.
Why did he hate morning exercise so much?
On the jogging path near the river.
I took Lee Sehyeon out for physical training.
We lightly jogged, but quickly got tired.
"I want to be a rabbit. You do tortoise or something."
"Why tortoise? I'm faster."
"Early ejaculation and low libido."
It's low libido if you can't cum no matter how you try, even if you force it.
Lee Sehyeon, who was hit with lewd talk, was flustered.
"D-don't laugh! You haven't even seen it!"
"Want to see it now? I'll measure it too."
As a reward for measuring running speed, anything goes.
Ultimately, the principle is the same: it ends.
"Pervert. Want to see a guy's balls?"
"I don't know. Because it's you, I want to see it. Secret self-development."
Lee Sehyeon couldn't counterattack, his face blushing.
I teased Lee Sehyeon with giggles.
'Well, I don't actually want to see it, though.'
I respect Lee Sehyeon's male privacy.
It's the type that ends with just a slap on the mouth.
The only reason I enjoy lewd talk is one thing.
To enjoy the shy reaction of my ball buddy.
This field is where I have absolute advantage.
Especially after becoming a woman, it's absolute superiority.
Every time I see Lee Sehyeon struggling, it's fun.
Like the neighbor aunt teasing her younger childhood friend next door.
'Like posting lewd pics in the morning and enjoying the reactions, close to mischief.'
Anyway, it's revenge for the times he snapped at me.
I let him enjoy the refreshing morning air.
Instead of getting offended when I said I was tired.
"Besides, I couldn't run the target 3km. What now?"
"I can't. I'll do it next time."
I declared surrender while sprawled on the bench.
After becoming a woman, my stamina became frail.
'Even when I was a man, it wasn't this bad.'
Even a salaryman who doesn't exercise has basic stamina.
...Probably.
Unnecessarily, self-loathing crept up.
If this is the case, can I become a hunter? Worried.
'Compared to that, this guy is completely energetic.'
We ran the same course, but no sweat drop.
Lee Sehyeon was fine like he just went for a light walk.
'To become a hunter, outstanding physical ability is basic. I'm a mess.'
Lee Sehyeon awakened abilities like me, but levels different.
I can only watch Lee Sehyeon at the peak from afar.
'I want to be at the same position as you... but I'm lacking, so we diverge.'
After Lee Sehyeon became S-rank hunter, I was afraid.
Our relationship would gradually distance.
As adults, we tend to associate with similar people.
The chance of becoming friends like in school days disappears.
Adults are creatures that adapt to the world.
They meet and interact with people of similar levels.
If Lee Sehyeon is S-rank, he'll meet better people than me.
So I got impatient.
To prepare for when we distance, I found a connection to depend on at similar position.
And that person was my fiancé.
Because it was the woman who said she likes me, I believed.
Ultimately, the connection was resolved by breaking off the engagement.
'This time, will I be the only one with empty hope?'
If I become the hunter that everyone aspires to like you,
It seems I can have the qualification to stay by your side in the future.
We can look in the same direction.
So I want to make more effort.
I want to face you from an equal position.
'But seeing this guy's tail, maybe my worry was unnecessary.'
Lee Sehyeon has small ambition compared to his abilities.
Due to shyness, human relationships are disastrous.
Essentially, the only real friend is me, a loner.
'Subconsciously, I want this guy to remain a loner for life... I'm a selfish human.'
I'm not a generous person. I'm a sly greedy person.
But even if blamed, I don't want to let go.
"Hey, Lee Sehyeon. ...My right ankle is tingling."
I lifted my foot, wiggling it at Lee Sehyeon.
Like a delinquent sending money to the delivery guy for errands.
"What are you doing?"
"Massage it."
Lee Sehyeon made a face in disgust.
Like being told to eat mint chocolate ice cream with pineapple pizza.
"Why me?"
"Guys with no fighting spirit always react like that."
"No slave mentality."
"It's not licking toes like a slave. I want you to touch it."
I poked Lee Sehyeon's side with my toes.
Like a righteous spear judging corrupt officials.
"Ack! Don't!"
"Ack!?"
Lee Sehyeon flicked my foot like swatting a fly.
It was painful, but the emotional wound was big.
"Kuaaaaaang! A hunter is bullying a civilian! I'm dead, I'm dead! Life is pain after all! Puaeeng!"
I wrapped my foot and wailed.
Like a soccer player hit by assassination tackle, rolling around.
"You, don't overdo it! I adjusted the force!"
"Don't you say that when you break a sparrow's leg? The perpetrator is shameless!"
"Argh, really! What do you want me to do?"
I held up my foot seriously.
Lee Sehyeon had a guilty expression, but what could he do?
"Ready, 'Hyun'?"
"Damn it... snivel."
"Madman! Why suddenly smelling my foot-eeeek!"
"But it's not as bad as the foot, good thing."
I didn't expect to use a counter here.
Rather, I was psychologically shaken.
"No smell, definitely no smell! Kuuuug..."
"The sweat smell is gone? You sweated earlier."
I hit with a combo of counterattacks.
My face heated up with the nasty mental attack.
"I won't! I won't let a good person like you do it!"
I tried to isolate my foot from Lee Sehyeon.
But Lee Sehyeon didn't let go.
"Where are you running? When entering, it was up to you, but when leaving, not so much."
"Let go! Aaaat!"
I resisted, but it was futile. Couldn't escape.
Twisting. Lee Sehyeon rubbed my ankle.
"Looking at you thrashing, it seems you're fine."
"Let go! Aaaan..."
"Can't? Then what can you do."
I couldn't escape Lee Sehyeon's hands.
Finally exhausted, I gave myself to Lee Sehyeon.
"You, if you misunderstand because of me, don't."
I warned Lee Sehyeon worriedly.
"What?"
"I'm just appearing female on the outside. If I break any illusions about women, it's a big deal."
Lee Sehyeon is already a virgin raised in a sterile environment.
A male who can have a few romantic fantasies about women.
For example, female body odor is floral or something.
I feel some responsibility.
Unlike when I was a man, I'm quite suppressing it.
This guy has to go to the bathroom too.
"It's fine. I think this side is better."
"You, foot fetish, crazy guy."
From today, this guy needs a gas mask.
His nose is more dangerous than eyes, pervert.
"No, it's not in an unhealthy sense, it's because it's familiar smell!"
"Familiar?"
"Probably because of the clothes. The clothes you wore since you were a man."
The cause is the workout clothes I wore.
An attachment fashion used since being a man.
Couldn't discard. It's evidence I was a man.
After repeated modifications, still wearing it.
"What, so that's it."
Understood the situation. Phew, I was scared for nothing.
Thanks to that, I relaxed and extended my foot to Lee Sehyeon.
It's okay if the male smell is a bit strong. Because it's ball buddy.
"Hey, massage the upper part too. Slow, slow! You, no pioneering spirit? Live dynamically!"
I boldly teased Lee Sehyeon.
Like switching an old fan to rotary mode, tap tap.
"You too, get up."
"Can't? My legs hurt?"
"Abandoning?"
A stingy guy. I reluctantly got up from the bench.
"No guts. No desire to find the hidden point inside my thigh like me?"
"Would there be?"
"Then I'll challenge. Take it off. Unexpectedly, there might be a point hidden behind the balls... uhihi!"
I showed a scared face as if to execute it.
You bastard, cute. So I don't spoil you harshly.
"Shall we go home soon?"
Lee Sehyeon followed me like a puppy waiting for ears.
The atmosphere relaxed.
Now, I could subtly ask.
"Sehyeon-ah, um, well, I'm an awakened person too."
"Yeah, that's right."
"Assuming, if I become a hunter, how would it be?"
Swallowed. With anxious heart, waited for answer.
