The Jang Family, Part 2
Jang Hye-yeon’s smile had grown noticeably warmer these days. The change in her, who had once been so reserved, had ignited a fire in the hearts of the younger disciples. Still, it wasn’t easy to approach her. The way she drew a firm line never changed, and the fact that she was the daughter of her master, Jang Chul-min, remained a significant obstacle.
Because she was an unbending flower, she was constantly used as a daughter-in-law candidate. Everyone forced their meager imaginations to envision what kind of breasts she had beneath those clothes and what kind of pussy waited between her thighs. The scent of night-blooming jasmine never left the disciples’ rooms night after night.
With summer arriving, the fabric of her clothes naturally grew thinner. When she sweated, her inner form was bound to show through. On days when it was particularly visible, the men’s restroom exploded with envy. Everyone secretly wished they were the lucky bastard who could take that stunning girl home. They muttered, “If only it were me…”
Of course Jang Hwa-young was also a great beauty, but the popularity of Jang Hye-yeon, who could be seen up close, far surpassed hers. After all, Jang Hwa-young was too distant to be considered a romantic target. Her age and her position simply made it so.
The popular Jang Hye-yeon had no idea that every dark-haired male was using her as a daughter-in-law every single night while staring at her. …Even if it weren’t for a good reason, the only man who could earn her interest was Kang-jun.
Should I ask Grandmother for help today?
Jang Hye-yeon, who had woken from deep meditation, felt a rare desire to spend some intimate time with her grandmother. She grabbed the sword beside her and rose from her seat. Pretending to swing the sword energetically once more, she ignored the disciples who had been secretly peeking from afar.
Among them, the youngest disciple approached her, carrying news.
“Brother Kang-jun has come to visit.”
The words struck like a bolt of lightning. The pleasant smile she had been wearing vanished completely. Her expression darkened as though clouds had gathered over her face.
Kang-jun’s reason for coming was obvious. To see Grandmother, of course. Jang Hye-yeon felt as though someone had stolen her parents. Her legs, always steady, began to move with urgency. She had forgotten even Grandmother’s heavenly words to maintain calm.
Jang Hye-yeon stood before the entrance to Grandmother’s private training hall. Her feet burned with impatience, but she couldn’t simply open the door without permission. After twenty years, manners had been deeply ingrained in her bones.
She waited for a long time right in front of the door. While sweating profusely in that sweltering place where not a single breeze stirred. Of course, the thought of the heat never crossed her mind. Only anxious emotions churned violently inside her head.
She waited like that for an hour that felt like a thousand years.
The door creaked open. The man and woman who appeared were drenched in sweat even more than she was. They had just finished swinging their swords vigorously.
“Why are you waiting here, Hye-yeon? It’s so hot.”
“No, I heard a precious guest has come, so I couldn’t just sit around.”
As she spoke, Jang Hye-yeon stole a glance at Kang-jun. She found his lopsided smile truly disgusting. Hmph. What’s so great about being half-and-half when his insides are completely dark—!
Even she had to admit that Kang-jun was incredibly handsome. In fact, Jang Hye-yeon had never seen such a handsome man in real life. …But his heart was beyond corrupt. He was exactly as vile as his face.
…She couldn’t help but feel it was unfair.
Why did she have to work so desperately while he had such talent? Why did the heavens give that bastard such talent? Gods are so heartless—
The three walked down the corridor in a steady rhythm. Jang Hwa-young led ahead, while the other two followed a few steps behind. At a fork in the middle of the hall, the path split in two directions.
“Then I’ll see you later, Senior.”
“Alright.”
The three split into two groups. Jang Hwa-young went left, and Kang-jun and Jang Hye-yeon went right. After they separated, Jang Hye-yeon walked forward without acknowledging him. Kang-jun placed his hand on her waist.
“What are you doing? Now?!”
Jang Hye-yeon slapped his arm irritably and glared at him up and down. Kang-jun smiled crookedly.
“Now you’re telling me not to touch you?”
“Of course.”
“What about sex?”
Kang-jun’s mouth casually uttered the word sex. This lewd animal—!
“That’s different from this.”
“Ah, so sex is okay but touching isn’t?”
“Don’t use that word!”
“What word?”
Kang-jun asked cheerfully. Jang Hye-yeon glared at him before turning her face away. She definitely didn’t want to associate with beasts.
A dog-like bastard! A filthy bastard!
Why couldn’t Grandmother see through this bastard’s dark nature? She was certain it was because his acting was too flawless. Or because Grandmother, who was as pure and clear as she was, could never associate with such a man.
Jang Hye-yeon slammed open her bedroom door and tried to close it quickly, but Kang-jun’s foot slipped in at the last moment.
“Get it out! Pull it out right now! What the hell are you doing?!”
“I have something to say.”
“I don’t. Pull it out, now.”
“With that tight hole of yours, how could you ever reach such a high realm? Huh? That’s exactly why you can’t, baby.”
She simply couldn’t keep listening to this. Jang Hye-yeon’s eyes nearly rolled back in her head. If she hadn’t been training her mind, she would have pounced on him immediately.
“You… you…”
Her teeth ground together. Of course, the damn bastard Kang-jun didn’t stop.
“If you want, I can become your master.”
“Even if you die, that won’t happen.”
“Even if you’re enemies, there are times when you have to kneel. …You’re still too young.”
This was truly sincere advice, stripped of all playfulness.
“Hah, I don’t want to hear such words from you. Go away already?!”
“Just for a moment.”
As she said that, Kang-jun forcibly opened the door and stepped inside. Naturally, she, who had far less physical strength, couldn’t resist. Bad bastard, animal bastard—!
“Quickly, say it and get out. I don’t want to see your ugly face.”
“Hasn’t she changed a lot? She used to be much fiercer.”
“Just get on with it.”
Jang Hye-yeon crossed her arms and turned her body sideways, refusing to make eye contact. Kang-jun thought she was actually doing better. Her grudge seemed deeply rooted. It seemed Grandmother was really that good. Watching her melt completely on her own.
“I won’t come to you anymore, so don’t worry.”
“…What?”
Jang Hye-yeon’s eyebrows furrowed.
“I won’t come looking for you at night, so go to sleep without waiting.”
“I wasn’t waiting anyway.”
“Alright. Good. Then we’re even.”
Jang Hye-yeon turned her face away again. Hahaha. Kang-jun’s laughter grated on her ears.
“Then see you at dinner.”
She didn’t answer. He quietly closed the door and left.
Haaah… Jang Hye-yeon sat down heavily on the bed, clutching her head with both hands. Even she had to admit she had reacted far too strongly today. …Her resolve to remain indifferent was meaningless.
Her mental training was still insufficient.
Jang Hye-yeon stripped off her clothes and entered the bathroom. She turned on the lukewarm water and let it drench her from head to toe. …Then the words he had spoken earlier resurfaced.
“I won’t come looking for you at night. Go to sleep without waiting.”
Why had he said that?
Suddenly, one thought slammed into her mind and chaos erupted. The jumbled mess in her head had no idea how to untangle itself.
Jang Hye-yeon stood under the pouring water for a long time before rinsing off and stepping out.
“I won’t come looking for you at night. Go to sleep without waiting.”
No, why was she suddenly repeating those words so vividly—!
“Animal bastard!”
Jang Hye-yeon shot to her feet and paced frantically around the room.
Then… truly, truly unwanted images kept invading her thoughts.
No, no. She was crazy, Hye-yeon. No matter how much she thought, how could she come up with such thoughts—!
She felt an unbearable itch. She couldn’t sit still. Thinking the heat had gotten to her, she turned on the fan and sat in front of it. Whoosh. Even the wind whipping her hair couldn’t cool her burning body.
It must mean he no longer wants to do it with me anymore. Originally, sex is like that, right? That’s something done after sharing hearts between a man and a woman.
Jang Hye-yeon tried to calm herself. She forced her struggling anxious thoughts down with all her strength.
She suddenly jumped onto the bed and lay sprawled face-down. Grandmother…!
At that moment, a knock sounded. It was the housekeeper.
“Everything’s ready for dinner.”
“…” She started to say, then corrected herself.
“No, I’ll come right away.”
“Yes, miss.”
Wearing only her underwear, she quickly changed into comfortable clothes and left the room. The warm corridor heat enveloped her. Lost in thought, she nearly tripped when she realized she was already in front of the dining hall.
She swallowed hard and slowly opened the door. Two people were already seated inside. Grandmother’s smile toward Kang-jun was too beautiful. It pierced her chest even more.
“Oh, Hye-yeon has arrived.”
“Yes, Grandmother.”
But she couldn’t help smiling brightly. That was the only thing she could do.
Jang Hye-yeon sat across from Kang-jun. The moment she saw his face, her heart grew unsettled again. She wasn’t sure whether food was even going into her mouth or her nose.
“Hye-yeon, are you sick?”
“Huh? Ah, no. I’m fine. I’m healthy.”
“Then you have no appetite?”
“No, I’m hungry! I’m eating well!”
“Good. Chew everything thoroughly. When training, physical and mental management are important. You can’t neglect body or mind.”
“I’ll remember, Grandmother.”
Grandmother smiled brightly at her niece. It was too good. If only time could stop like this.
But when she turned her head again, Kang-jun stood right in front of her. That was when she realized she was dreaming. This was reality. A horrible reality. …That bastard was smiling vilely.
Jang Hye-yeon gathered her courage.
“Grandmother, could you help me with my training today?”
“Training?”
Jang Hwa-young’s gaze briefly touched on Kang-jun. She hated it. Why did Grandmother have to pay attention to that bastard?
“Um… Can we do it tomorrow instead, Hye-yeon? Kang-jun finally came today.”
“Ah, yes… I see.”
Tears nearly spilled over. Jang Hye-yeon held them back with desperate effort. …She could clearly feel the gap between her and that bastard. No matter what, Kang-jun was number one. She was in the back.
Jang Hwa-young noticed her niece’s voice trembling slightly. She wondered if she had been too indifferent toward her.
“…No. I’ll watch your swordsmanship today.”
“No, it’s fine. Kang-jun doesn’t come here every day anyway.”
“Are you really sure?”
“Yes! I’m really sure!”
Jang Hye-yeon smiled brightly. Of course, her heart was crying.
After dinner, the three dispersed to their respective rooms. The moment Jang Hye-yeon slammed her door shut, she burst into the sobs she had been holding back.
Sob… hic.
It hurt so much. Most of Grandmother’s love went to Kang-jun. …She had known, but today it felt painfully clear.
It’s all that bastard’s fault. It’s because of him.
To muffle her cries, Jang Hye-yeon buried her face in the pillow. Aaaah, haaaah. Since her mother had died, she had lived for decades without shedding tears. The moment this one burst, she couldn’t control it.
Grandmother… Grandmother—!
She wanted to be loved by her. She didn’t want to be taken by someone else.
Jang Hye-yeon suddenly opened her eyes wide. She sat up in bed. She must have cried until she fell asleep. The entire house was already pitch dark.
She lit the lamp beside the bed. It was already midnight. The whole place was quiet. The mansion was deep in slumber.
She went to the bathroom, relieved herself, and washed her tear-streaked face with water. Plish. Her hazy mind cleared. Then, suddenly, a thought brushed her mind.
“I won’t come looking for you at night. Go to sleep without waiting.”
At the same moment, her heart began to race wildly.
No, there’s no way. Definitely no.
She sat back down on the bed. …Suddenly she felt crazy. Her breathing grew ragged.
No, that’s not it. That’s not it.
Her body moved on its own. She gripped the doorknob and stood there for a long time. Then she slowly turned it.
Click. The door opened. The pitch-black corridor was eerily silent. Jang Hye-yeon turned her head left. Toward Kang-jun’s room.
And she slowly walked there. Carefully… very carefully. Like a thief stealing the most important thing in the world.
Jang Hye-yeon approached Kang-jun’s door. No light shone beneath it. Unsure if she had heard any sound, she stopped and listened. …There was clearly nothing.
Haaah—
She exhaled in relief. …Then suddenly a terrible thought crossed her mind. Terror gripped her. Her head slowly turned.
Toward Grandmother’s room.
…No way. …No way? Please. Please, please.
Her whole body trembled. To the point she wondered if she had ever shaken like this in her life. She had never begged like this either.
To muffle her fast breathing, she covered her mouth with her hand. She walked on unsteady legs, slowly, very slowly, toward Grandmother’s room.
—Ugh… ugh.
A sad sound reached her. Jang Hye-yeon felt like she was going mad. Please, no, no—!
—Ah… ah…
Ah… ah… aaaaa…
Jang Hye-yeon’s hand covering her mouth slowly opened.
—Ah… ah… Kang-jun…
Stuck to the door, Jang Hye-yeon froze in place. It was too shocking. It felt like an arrow had pierced her heart.
—How delicious your senior’s pussy is, you know?
—Ah… ah… Kang-jun… ha… ha… just a little slower… it’s suddenly too strong—
—Do you… love me?
No. No, Grandmother—! No, no—!
—Yes… love you. Love you, Kang-jun. Ah… ah… hah…
—How’s my cock?
—Yes… yes… ah… Kang-jun’s cock… ah… yes… good… so good…
A nightmare. A terrible nightmare. A horribly terrifying nightmare.
Jang Hye-yeon slowly turned away and, without being seen, quietly returned to her room.
She closed her door with a thud.
And collapsed right there. No tears came.
The world had collapsed.
What a fool.
While roughly mounting Jang Hwa-young, Kang-jun smiled crookedly. His gaze briefly touched the shoji door before falling away.
Grandmother, who was struggling beneath Kang-jun’s cock, had no idea her niece had come and gone. Her eyes were already half-lidded.
“Ah… ah… hah… haaah…”
“Shh. What if someone hears?”
Jang Hwa-young startled at the sound and quickly covered her mouth with her hand. Her anxious eyes looked up at him.
“What if Hye-yeon finds out?”
“No. Then… then it can’t… ah… ugh… Hye-yeon can’t see your face.”
Kang-jun thrust even harder as he spoke.
“But if I suddenly stop coming, she might suspect.”
Whoa. Hearing that, she suddenly felt uneasy.
“W-w-w? W-what are you talking about?”
He briefly stopped his waist movements. Haa… haa. Jang Hwa-young looked up at him with teary, pathetic eyes while panting.
“Then tell Hye-yeon that you don’t need to come anymore. If you don’t want to, stop.”
“…W-will I?”
Jang Hwa-young had been worried about that anyway. It was morally unacceptable for Grandmother and niece to both be pinned by the same man. She had endured the guilt somehow, but deep down she wanted it corrected as soon as possible.
“Yes… As long as I have Senior, it’s fine.”
Such sweet whispers. A faint smile touched Jang Hwa-young’s face. At the same time, a terrible sense of guilt toward her niece tormented her. …The guilt of stealing her man.
“Alright… Then I’ll tell her tomorrow—ah!”
Before he finished speaking, Kang-jun roughly thrust his cock deeper. Jang Hwa-young’s head jerked back for a moment before returning.
“A man and woman can break up, you know.”
Her words said that, but her heart didn’t agree. This was her fault. All the guilt belonged to her. She had forced it on, and she was the one tearing it away.
Kang-jun gave her a rough fucking until the guilt in her head faded. Jang Hwa-young trembled and let out dying cries. He soon filled her insides completely.
Pulling out his cock, he licked his dry lips with anticipation.
