The Conflicting Currents
Hye-won had wanted.
For Sun-woo to fall for her seduction.
Even if it was just the aftereffects of alcohol, she could convince herself it was a simple mistake.
That she herself possessed some charm.
That Sun-woo’s rationality would be clouded enough by her femininity for him to truly see her as a woman.
And Hye-won’s efforts had matched roughly half of that desire.
“Stuuuuu… haaaahaaaa…..!!”
“Sl-leep… oppa…?!?”
The rough breath against her skin.
Her body was shoved roughly against hers, chest pressing deep into her collarbones as she inhaled the raw, animal scent of a female.
Through the fabric, Sun-woo’s rock-hard erection dragged insistently against the thin layers of her panties, leaving no doubt that he wanted nothing more than to breed her right there.
The man who had abandoned all reason.
The Sun-woo who had become nothing but a rutting beast.
It was the version of him Hye-won had prayed for—yet also the one she had never dared imagine.
Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!
“Ugh…. huuuuuuup….!!”
Her body had no defense against penetration; even the most forceful grinding only produced a wet, obscene sound that filled the room like a drum.
“Chuuup…. pahaaa… tzueeeup──!”
“Hiiee──!!”
Her lips found the nape of her neck.
She tasted him with her tongue, then sucked his lower lip into her mouth.
When she finally pulled away, there would be a bright red mark.
It was a scene she had secretly fantasized about.
Sun-woo wanting her body so badly he would mark her with his own.
─Pah! Pah! Pah! Pah! Pah! Pah! Pah! Pah!
“Hu… uuuuuuuuup….!”
But it wasn’t what she had imagined at all.
‘W-what… is this…!’
She had wanted to hear the words “I love you.”
Instead, all she heard was the guttural, animalistic moans of a male consumed by raw lust.
She had wanted to pull him close with all her strength and let him take her.
Instead, the man before her was using every ounce of power to breed her without a single moment of gentleness.
She had wanted even her tiny breasts to be desired.
But not like this—clawed at, bitten, forced into pain.
“Oppaaaa…..”
“Haa…! Haa, haaaaaaaa!!”
She had wanted to share love, whisper love, give away every hidden feeling she had carried for so long.
─Pah-pah-pah-pah-pah-pah-pah-pah
“Huaa… aaaaaaah!!!”
Reality had betrayed her completely.
No romance. No beauty.
Only raw, vulgar lust.
Perhaps even too crude.
If Sun-woo had retained even a shred of rationality, she might have felt differently.
But as it was, she had no choice but to accept it.
After an hour of relentless stimulation, the final thrust came with a one-minute time limit.
He had held back for that single minute—his only resolve—and survived her ultimate technique.
Any ordinary man would have either pinned her down or fled.
Sun-woo had lasted exactly one minute, and that minute was his absolute limit.
─Crack
“Aaah──!”
“Ku… uuuuuup!”
Like a beast, he sank his teeth into her shoulder, leaving deep marks.
Pain. Pleasure. And an overwhelming terror he could no longer deny.
Hye-won clenched her hands and feet, pulling him tighter.
And at the end of it all.
“Huaaah…!!”
“Haueeeut──!!”
Release. Climax. Together.
Through the fabric, through the panties, the thick, pearly fluid rose white and glistening.
From the sheer volume and viscosity of the cum leaking past his tip, it was clear how much effort he had expended holding back for everyone’s sake.
“Haa… haa, haaaaaa….”
Sun-woo exhaled slowly.
The heavy pressure in his chest finally eased.
His brain, soaked in the thick fluid, felt a fraction clearer.
The return of “reason” began to stir… slowly.
“Huuuuk…..!”
“….a.”
Before him, Sun-woo’s eyes—now restored to their usual rationality—stared in horror.
“Sniff…. huuuup…. huuuuuk…..!”
“…………….”
Tears streaming down his face.
His perfect hair now disheveled and wild.
His shirt torn open, exposing the bite mark on his shoulder, the strap of his bra, and the tender swell of his breast.
And—on the panties themselves—the evidence of his complete loss of control.
“A….”
It had been too much.
She hadn’t meant to do it.
Sun-woo reached out to apologize, but Hye-won recoiled.
“Hit───!”
“………….”
Once a female has been taken by a male, she remembers the act.
If she had been experienced and had tasted pleasure before, it might have been different.
But Hye-won was a virgin in every way.
She knew nothing of sex except through romance and drama.
She was closer to a princess than a female who could understand a beast.
For beauty and the beast to coexist, the beauty must not even realize the beast is standing right in front of her.
“….Sorry.”
Sun-woo stood up hurriedly, gathered his things, and fled.
“Huueeuk…. kuungh! Huuuk…. ”
“…………….”
In a single moment, Hye-won’s living room had become a complete mess.
Only Yeon-hwa remained, dazed, muttering.
“This is a disaster.”
It really was.
…
..
.
After the situation had somewhat calmed.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t stop him, CEO. It happened so suddenly… Are you in a lot of pain?”
“It’s okay, Harin. It stings a little, but maybe that’s actually a good thing…?”
“Eh? What did you say?”
“Ah, never mind!”
Hye-won’s expression was brighter than anyone expected.
No—perhaps brighter than it had been when Sun-woo had comforted himself alone in the bathroom.
“Being overpowered feels good. So the CEO is a woman too?”
“….Yun-hwa. If you keep talking like that, I’ll look like a pervert.”
“True. Maybe I’m closer to a girl in love than a pervert?”
“Love… well, it’s not wrong, but…”
No matter how you looked at it.
In the end, what Hye-won had wished for had come true.
‘He got really excited….’
Even with her small breasts, he had loved them.
She had thought he only saw her as a friend, but now she knew that wasn’t true.
The satisfaction and fullness it brought was more than enough to turn the sting in her shoulder, collarbone, and chest into a badge of honor.
Hye-won smiled sweetly, her hair still a little messy.
Yeon-hwa looked utterly bewildered while Harin grinned mischievously.
From the outside, it looked like a perfectly cozy scene.
“Li-heo-ssi… are you okay…?”
“Eh? What did you say?”
“Hie?! E-eh, that, that….”
The moment all eyes turned to Hye-won.
Only Su-jin alone continued staring at Sun-woo.
That was how she knew.
“A little while ago, when the coach left the room… I saw such a broken expression on his face….”
“…………….”
The air froze.
“Honestly. If I were the coach, I’d probably lose my mind too.”
Yeon-hwa pinched her eyes in agreement.
“If a woman who says she loves you suddenly cries and begs for mercy, even a well-adjusted coach…?”
“Wh-what do I do? Should I call him now…?”
“What should I say? ‘It felt really good, let’s continue later’?”
“It’s not that harsh, but…”
How should she reply?
Should she say she’s fine?
No. If it were Sun-woo, a single sentence wouldn’t be enough.
So should they both apologize for their mistake?
Hye-won knew Sun-woo’s personality.
Even if they apologized, he would only blame himself more.
Perhaps the worst case was that he would treat her from now on with only cold professionalism and never again… let anything like this happen.
‘That would be terrible.’
They had only just begun to feel something.
If it broke off now, Hye-won herself couldn’t endure it.
Then…
“…What if I just tell him it felt really good?”
“Harin-ssi?!”
The sudden, out-of-the-blue suggestion from Harin.
But Harin had a point.
“If I apologize, it might make things even more awkward. Like what you said, Yeon-hwa-unnie, just say it felt good and approach him more… maybe his guilt will make him accept it? Haha! Honestly, I don’t know either….”
“….No. Actually, I think that kind of approach might work even better on Sun-woo-oppa.”
“Eh?”
She agreed?
Hye-won took the astonished Harin’s hand and energetically consulted the three of them.
“We’re collecting lines from heroines who drive men crazy!”
“…It’s a little cheesy, but maybe that’s why it’ll work?”
“Thinking about conversation patterns, we should be a bit bolder here!”
“Conversation pattern analysis? I’ve never even thought of that….”
“So don’t think and just drag him into a motel and mount him already?”
“…If that were easy, we wouldn’t have ended up like this!”
As the night grew deeper for the virgins.
“Hecate.”
“….We tried to stop it.”
“Really! Believe me, Papa!”
Sun-woo sat on the sofa the moment he entered the house.
Something was wrong.
It was far too different from normal.
Insatiable hunger. Lust gnawing at his rationality.
“Exactly since the moment I woke up from sleep.”
“No matter how much we spoke, you wouldn’t listen… and even when we tried to touch your mana hall, your mana rejected us all.”
“……………”
Hecate and Nox spoke.
We tried. But we couldn’t influence him at all.
“It was like a raging river. No matter how hard we tried, we were all rejected.”
“….Then. No. Really, yes.”
After a short nap in the afternoon.
From that moment on, none of the spirits’ voices reached him.
Without realizing something was wrong, he had been dragged only by lust and hunger.
Normally, he should have noticed the abnormality.
Yet he hadn’t.
“…Sun-woo. Is there anything that rings a bell?”
“Bell? Suddenly?”
“When you fell asleep in the afternoon, try remembering.”
“……………”
Nothing.
Only the memory that his heart had raced violently, he had been restless, and above all, he had been terrified of something.
‘Terrified…?’
Did I have a nightmare?
But does anyone change so dramatically after just having a nightmare?
“…Sun-woo. What I said before still stands. A human who has come close to nature becomes closer to nature itself.”
Approaching nature.
Meaning, your soul’s level has risen.
And a soul at that level reveals things the ordinary human never could.
“This body knows nothing of what you saw. But I believe there is a reason for the change.”
“….I don’t know.”
“Don’t rush. For now, sleep deeply tonight.”
“Nox will sing you a lullaby!”
The spirits gathered together and offered him gentle comfort.
Grateful. And a little pathetic.
And most of all.
“Hecate. Can you do something for me?”
“………?”
I did something I shouldn’t have done to Hye-won.
“Hecate. You know better than anyone. The thing I did to your mana hall with light back then. How I changed.”
“!….That was my mistake. I won’t do it to Sun-woo again.”
“No. It’s fine. I need it now.”
“It’s a bad thing. This body is the only one that has reflected on its mistake. You want me to do it again to Sun-woo?”
“Please, Hecate.”
“….I refuse. This body does not want to see Sun-woo change like that again.”
Hecate refused.
“It would lead to another bad thing.”
“Then this body will block it with all our power.”
He refused many times.
But
“Hecate.”
“….Idiot. Sun-woo is truly, truly an idiot. The biggest idiot! That’s why he’ll never become an S-rank!”
“Please.”
“..........”
Sun-woo was equally miserable.
He didn’t want to hurt the people he loved.
So he chose again.
“Remember this. I won’t be flooding you like before. And I don’t want to. So if Sun-woo wishes, I’ll return you to normal.”
“Okay, just do it quickly.”
“….Sun-woo. I’ll ask one last question.”
“What do you want to ask?”
Facing Sun-woo, who still looked half-relaxed.
Hecate looked him in the eye and whispered.
“What if… what if I say I’ll take all your dislike upon myself? Will you stop this?”
“….You’re saying strange things, Hecate. Are you in puberty too?”
“Answer the question or stay silent.”
“Huuu… fine.”
Sun-woo gave a small smile and answered.
“I like you, Hecate.”
“…………….”
“I’d rather become a eunuch than do anything you hate.”
“….Truly. Truly an idiot.”
Hecate lowered her head and placed her hand on Sun-woo’s chest.
“I’m sorry. For making you hate me.”
“If you know… then do as you always do…!”
Cooook.
Hecate covered Sun-woo’s heart, his mana, with light.
“Huu… back then I thought this would hurt a lot….”
Sun-woo’s mana began to fade.
The light bleached him completely white.
Sun-woo’s emotions. His heart. His sincerity. Even the smallest petal of the love flower he had barely begun to nurture.
“So warm… It’s light like Hecate.”
“….Idiot.”
By the time his mana hall was filled with light.
Sun-woo slowly collapsed into Hecate’s arms, eyes closing.
His face was peaceful, without a single nightmare—a good, deep sleep.
“Truly… truly an idiot…”
Hecate gently pulled Sun-woo into her embrace.
By the way.
[After the fan meeting, the after-party]
[Our CEO grilled it himself!]
“Ah….”
Seona. With her baby at home, A-young had no choice but to return alone.
Dazed, holding the child, she looked at her phone.
Inside, she saw the happy faces of the Nature members and, standing awkwardly beside them, Sun-woo.
‘Sun-woo-ssi….’
Me too.
I wanted to be in that spot with him too.
“Ubuuut…. uae…. ngaaaaeaeaeaeaeaeaeae!!!”
“……………”
The baby, as if asking when she would sleep, woke up and started crying loudly.
While changing the baby’s poopy diaper, A-young still couldn’t relax.
“Ubuu….”
“…………….”
If it weren’t for her.
If it weren’t for her.
‘Me too… with Sun-woo-ssi….’
A single thread of forbidden malice.
It began to blossom toward the helpless child.
