Ahead of the Season (1)
I was heading down to Busan soon enough. In practical terms, that left me only about three days I could actually spend with Yu Suhyeon.
Savoring a short rest in a hotel with a beautiful woman had its pleasures, but before I left, I intended to tame Yu Suhyeon even further.
The fact that she'd spent a considerable sum this time, and that she'd been the one to seduce me first, were both encouraging signs. Still, it wasn't enough. Our emotional connection had already come a long way. Now I needed to show her with my body.
They say nothing hooks a woman harder than a good dick. By the time this vacation was over, I'd have her waiting every single day just to throw herself into my arms.
As if I'd only bought souvenirs at the duty-free shop. I'd also stocked up on a famous Japanese brand of ultra-thin condoms — the kind people used plenty of even back home.
"Wow. This is incredible."
I meant every word. The hotel's exterior had been impressive enough, but once we stepped inside the room, the view was something else entirely.
"You like it? I'm glad," Yu Suhyeon said.
I genuinely liked the place, but she'd also spent a fortune on this. The least I could do was show some appreciation.
"Yeah. But..."
I pulled her into a tight embrace from behind.
"It's even better because I'm here with you, noona."
"Oh, stop it!"
No hotel view in the world could compare to a beautiful woman's face and body. Yu Suhyeon was a woman worth that much.
"Noona..."
I leaned in carefully to kiss her, but she stopped me with a finger against my lips.
"I got all dressed up for today, you know? Just hold on a little longer."
"I could always fix your lipstick. I bought it for you, after all."
"You wouldn't stop at my lips and you know it."
"...Yeah, you're probably right."
Hearing those provocative words come out of Yu Suhyeon's haughty, elegant face made her look especially alluring.
"Let's go eat dinner first, okay?"
"Okay."
We headed to the restaurant a little earlier than usual. Part of it was that I was still young, and part of it was that I didn't know much about this kind of world — but I couldn't quite get used to the stately, old-world atmosphere. It wasn't my money being spent at the moment, but maybe it was because I knew I'd have to repay her someday. I needed to take Rookie of the Year this season and aim for a serious raise.
"I'm going to order wine too. Is that all right?"
"Yeah. I like that."
I'd never actually tried wine, but you couldn't leave alcohol out of a meal like this. Then again, the food itself looked ridiculously expensive... Well, whatever. I'd let it go for now.
We talked about this and that over a meal paired with wine. Maybe I was being sensitive, but I could feel the gazes of other men around us lingering on Yu Suhyeon. Not that it mattered. This woman was mine now. Go ahead and envy me all you want.
"Junseong. I told you last time I prepared a gift, remember?"
"A gift?"
Right. She had mentioned something like that. Yu Suhyeon pulled a box from her bag.
"Open it."
"What's this?"
A watch. I didn't particularly care about that sort of thing, so I had no idea what brand it was. Honestly, I didn't even understand why anyone would wear a watch when they already had a smartphone.
"You never wear a watch, do you?"
"I don't really need one for baseball."
"Pfft. What kind of answer is that?"
Yu Suhyeon laughed. There was no mockery in it.
"You're going to have to start living like an adult now, aren't you? It's good to wear a watch."
"It looks expensive..."
"It's not that expensive. You're only twenty-one. Walking around in some flashy luxury watch wouldn't look right anyway."
Yu Suhyeon launched into some complicated explanation that I barely followed. I didn't think I'd ever pay much attention to that sort of thing. But if it was something I needed to a certain degree, the way she said it was... it wouldn't be so bad to have a woman who took care of those details for me.
"Thank you. I'll do even more for you later."
"Will you? For now, just let noona take care of you."
Was her affection for me even greater than I'd expected? A woman like this — even if we started dating for real, I had a feeling she'd eventually come to understand the more private side of my life.
"No. You can look forward to it. I can do a lot more for you than you think."
"Then I will. But for that to happen, you'd have to stay by noona's side..."
This time, Yu Suhyeon spoke more carefully.
"If not you, noona, then who else would I stay beside?"
I answered with an awkward laugh. Yu Suhyeon downed her wine without a word. I just needed her to wait a little longer.
We finished dinner and returned to the room. Unlike last time, Yu Suhyeon hadn't overdone it — she'd drunk just enough. I, of course, was completely fine.
"Hahh..."
Whether it was to shake off the alcohol or because she was flushed, Yu Suhyeon fanned her face with both hands.
"Noona, I'll shower first."
"Huh? Oh... okay."
Now that the moment had actually arrived, she seemed embarrassed. Her words stumbled. Times like this, you had to push forward without hesitation. I gave her the bare minimum of notice and headed for the shower.
I washed up, put on a robe, and came back out to find Yu Suhyeon still standing there, not quite sure what to do with herself.
"Go wash up, noona."
"Okay..."
She hesitated for a moment, then headed for the bathroom.
The provocative side of her wasn't bad now and then, but honestly, I liked this look even more. It was cuter. Yu Suhyeon was tall for a woman, which made those occasional girlish moments of hers even more appealing. Or maybe I just found everything she did sexy.
She took a little longer than expected. Waiting for her felt longer than usual tonight. Last time, I'd just left her to climb onto the bed at her own pace. This time, I greeted her the way I'd wanted to — by pulling her into my arms.
"Aing..."
"You're cute."
The moment I wrapped my arms around her, we tumbled onto the bed together. The scent of shampoo in her hair was incredible.
"Noona. I love you."
"I love you too, Junseong."
I said nothing, just stroked the back of her head.
"Why do you like me, noona?"
"Hmm?"
"From the first moment I saw you, my heart started racing. I thought I was unlucky — that I'd never see you again. It wasn't until we ran into each other later that I realized I'd fallen for you at first sight."
"..."
"After that, all I could think about was wanting to see even a little more of you. I never imagined we'd keep meeting like this."
"I see... I wish I'd been a more thoughtful, better woman. Noona was so awful to you. I just made our Junseong suffer, didn't I?"
I'd dressed the story up a little, but even I had to admit that our meeting now was something close to a miracle. From that unfortunate first encounter at the hospital all the way to finding each other again — the fact remained that Yu Suhyeon was the most beautiful woman I'd ever met in person.
"I wouldn't call it suffering. But honestly, my career isn't exactly stable, and I'm still young. It's strange that you're already treating me this well."
Asking someone outright how they feel usually doesn't end well, but I wanted to confirm it at least once. I had boundless confidence in my own future. But that was something only I knew. No matter how much I talked about giving her something big later, to Yu Suhyeon's ears it would just sound like the reckless bravado of a kid.
"I don't really know either," Yu Suhyeon said.
"The truth is... noona is being loved by you right now, but I can't stay young and pretty forever. So I thought I wanted to meet a man I could promise marriage to, while I was still even one year younger."
"...You're still young, noona. And your beauty isn't going anywhere, no matter how much time passes."
I held her tighter, wanting to back up my words with action.
"You don't know that. And you can't be sure of it, either."
The alcohol had loosened her tongue, but I hadn't expected her to be this honest. I understood now what she'd been worrying about. I knew perfectly well how irresponsible I sounded. A flicker of guilt made me hold her even tighter, so she wouldn't see my face. I also knew that if I handled this poorly, I'd be written off as the kind of guy who just enjoyed a woman at the peak of her prime and then walked away — and I wouldn't have a word to say in my own defense.
"But when I'm with you, I can just... forget, even if only for a little while. When I'm held in your arms like this, all the complicated thoughts fall away, and I feel like a pure woman being loved. Especially when you hold me this hard, this mercilessly... I feel like I'm going to lose my mind."
"...I see."
My naturally gifted body, and all those hours I'd spent training, were helping more than I'd expected. And I'd sensed it for a while now — Yu Suhyeon had a distinctly masochistic streak.
"Like you said, let's forget the complicated stuff for now. And just wait a little longer for me."
"...Wait? Mmph!"
I kissed her to stop her from talking. I needed to keep her from thinking at all. I had to tame Yu Suhyeon further first, and I needed to have more to offer before we redefined this relationship. Not now. And at the very least, I would never abandon her. I wanted her future, too.
"Hah..."
I kissed her with my tongue for a long time before finally pulling away. Her eyes had gone slightly unfocused. The look on her face was so erotic I could barely hold myself back.
"Hahhn!"
Without even taking her robe all the way off, I went straight for her clit.
"Nnh... why would you start there?!"
"I can't wait any longer."
I stroked her clit carefully with my left hand as I peeled the robe off her.
"Mmph... haah..."
I didn't let a single part of her rest. I kissed her with my tongue, kept working her clit, and shrugged off my own robe as well.
"Your whole body's turning red, noona."
"That's the wine... can you turn off the lights?"
"Tonight I want to look at you properly while we do this. You're even sexier than usual."
"Honestly..."
Her flushed skin looked even more erotic against that pale complexion. And from now on, I had no intention of turning the lights off when we had sex.
I went down and started working her clit with my tongue.
"Haaahn... ahh..."
Her body shuddered. It tasted about as exciting as licking a metal bar, but her reactions were so good I couldn't get enough of it.
"Nnh..."
And given how big I was, I needed to loosen her up properly. I only pulled my mouth away once I was sure her juices were overflowing.
"Haa... haa..."
"Noona..."
Naked now, I brought my erect cock to her face.
"...Suck it."
"What?"
Her face, already flushed from the wine, turned even redder.
"I want you to service me, noona. Show me how much you love me."
"I've never done this... and it's too big."
Of course. Yu Suhyeon was the princess type. She wouldn't have even thought of something like this.
"It's okay. Just start by putting your tongue on it."
She hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly brought her tongue to the head of my cock.
"Nnh... like this?"
"That's good. Flick your tongue up and down."
Yu Suhyeon licked the head the way you'd lick the tip of an ice cream. I wanted to grab her hair and thrust, but I held back.
"Does it feel good?"
"Yeah. But this isn't enough."
"Then?"
"Open your mouth wide and put it in."
"What? There's no way this whole thing is going in."
"I know it won't all fit. Just try."
"You can't get mad at me if I do it badly, okay?"
"I won't. Nngh..."
Yu Suhyeon took my cock into her mouth. The sensation was so good I let out a sound before I could stop myself. The warmth of her mouth wrapped around me. As she started to get the hang of it, she began using her tongue as she bobbed her head.
"Does it feel good?"
"It feels amazing. Keep going."
"Hehe."
Yu Suhyeon made a suddenly cute little sound. Whatever she was enjoying so much, once she'd asked how I felt, she started sucking even more eagerly.
"Noona, mmph..."
It felt so good that I was already getting close. I pulled out of her mouth first.
"Was it that good?"
"Yeah. It was like heaven."
"Now I get why you always go down on me so well."
"Hmm?"
"Your reactions were just too cute. I wanted to keep sucking..."
Yu Suhyeon said, smiling.
I pulled out all the boxes of condoms I'd set aside, tore one open, and started rolling it on.
"Why did you buy so many?"
"...I'm going to use every last one of these before I leave."
"What? You're kidding, right?"
"I'm not."
She laughed like she thought I was joking, so I shut that down immediately.
"Nnh!"
I pulled her body flush against mine.
The truth was, I hoped to have Yu Suhyeon completely conquered long before we went through every last one of those condoms.
