Preparing for the Walk! (2)
Was that how she looked at me?
Seeing Hwang Ji-ye, that unassuming convenience-store auntie, fix me with such a calm, friendly smile... who could have guessed that behind those gentle eyes lurked a pervert who craved exhibitionism and pet play the moment the sun went down?
She had probably hidden that side of herself from the world for years.
But I was different.
“No, it’s nothing like that. I’ve been thinking I should get a pet lately.”
“A pet?”
“Yeah. They’re really cute.”
I flashed her a smile and spoke softly, letting my voice roll with just the right hint of sweetness.
“It just turned out I’m getting two. And both of them are a bit older now.”
“Oh my, did you find them wandering the streets? I see stray cats around here all the time lately too.”
“Well... there’s also a dog.”
“You’re such a good boy, student. But if you’re living nearby, it might be hard to take care of them. What does the owner say?”
“They’re clean and smart. I think it should be fine.”
Yeah, it had to be fine. My bitches—the female cat and the female pig—were so good they wouldn’t let you down if you fed them properly. Unlike other people’s cats, ours were sweet and affectionate, and as for the pig... aside from her being a bit spoiled and prissy, there was nothing unusual about them at all.
“Hmm... I’m jealous.”
Whether she was jealous of me or of Su-ah and Sun-hwa, I could feel the envy rolling off her in waves. I set a pack of gum on the counter and slid a thousand-won bill across it.
“Check, please.”
“Of course~”
The auntie hummed a little tune as she scanned the gum. She glanced at me sideways and struck up conversation.
“Um... I don’t get many customers lately. Want to chat while you’re here?”
High Charm stat affects target 'Hwang Ji-ye'! 'Hwang Ji-ye' feels a faint crush on tutor 'Kim Se-hyun'. (Current affection: 21)
Wow.
That was exactly why good looks and pretty faces won every time. Even if high Charm didn’t automatically make someone gorgeous, it clearly had an effect. The stat description even said I ranked among the top three people most people encountered in daily life, so it made sense that she was drawn in.
And above all, Ji-ye auntie didn’t try to look pretty or fuss over herself, so the natural beauty underneath was already close to Su-ah and Sun-hwa’s level. If she managed it right, she’d probably be just as stunning. It was easier to calculate with that in mind.
“Sure, I’d love to chat.”
It wasn’t a lie. Once the university exams ended, a college student really had nothing to do for the week. The professors weren’t even covering new material, so what was there to study? I wasn’t prepping anything either.
Normally, healthy students would cram everything they’d learned the day before exams, but that wasn’t the case right now. The professors hadn’t posted any updates yet, so there was no point touching the old material. I wasn’t skipping prep out of laziness—I just didn’t have the chance.
Hwang Ji-ye auntie placed two cans of Zero Coke on the table beside the door and pulled out a chair.
“Here. I bought these because you were such a good listener. Drink up.”
“Thanks!”
I popped the tab and the can hissed open with a cheerful pop. While I took a sip, the auntie propped her chin on her hand and lightly tapped the rim of her own can.
“By the way, have you ever had a pet before?”
Exactly.
'Hwang Ji-ye’s pet preference "pet" activates. Observe her conversation closely.
“No, this is my first time.”
“But you said you were thinking of picking some up from the street. They must be really cute.”
“They’re adorable. Both of them.”
“Hmm... Are they female? Male?”
“Both female.”
“Oh... really? That’s so envious...”
“Do you like animals?”
“Yeah, I do. Actually, I love pets too.”
I figured she meant she liked owning them, not just watching. I’d better remember that. The woman in front of me wasn’t normal. And neither was the man who wanted to keep her.
Hwang Ji-ye auntie smiled sweetly.
“Then I guess I’ll have to buy a leash too.”
“I’m going to look. I saw some pretty ones online. Maybe I can find something decent.”
“One of them’s a cat, right?”
The auntie stood up briefly, went behind the counter, and came back holding a paper bag.
“Good thing both aren’t cats. It worked out perfectly. I’ll give these to you as a gift.”
“What is it?”
“Oh, it’s nothing special. I was thinking of throwing them away anyway, but since you’re getting a pet, I’ll give them to you. Have a look.”
'Hwang Ji-ye’s pet preference "pet" activates. 'Hwang Ji-ye’s submissive gauge "submission" activates.
I took the bag. The weight tugged at the strings. When I set it on the table and peeked inside, I found a pretty large leash and lead.
“...A leash, huh?”
“It was something I used to have. There were too many at home, so I figured I should organize them.”
I acted like I didn’t notice and pulled the leash out, pretending to examine it closely.
“This one’s pretty big. Were you walking a big dog?”
“U-uh...!”
The auntie’s breath hitched. She probably thought I hadn’t noticed, but my senses had grown far sharper than any normal person’s. A sound like that was impossible to miss.
Her face flushed slightly as she answered.
“Well... that’s how it is. It was too worn out to last long, so I’ll only use it until I find something new. I can’t stop going for walks, right?”
“That’s true.”
Maybe I should tease a little more here.
“I didn’t even know. When I take them for walks, they go crazy. Wiggling, twisting, the whole nine yards.”
“Oh my... really? Going for walks is fun. We should do it more often, right?”
“Yeah... I want to take them out when I have time, but... I don’t think I’ll be able to at night.”
Night, walks, females. That was more than enough to push every single one of her pet-play buttons. And sure enough, the auntie kept smiling and answered in a soft, suggestive tone.
“People don’t come by much at night, so it can be a bit scary in this neighborhood.”
“If people don’t come around, that’s even better~ When I walk them, I secretly get a thrill when I see someone.”
“Oh, really? You’re just like me... or should I say, just like our pets.”
I’d seen that one coming.
The moment she got excited, she lit up like a firecracker. This woman was the same type as Ye-rin—stuck in perpetual heat because she couldn’t find her owner to relieve herself.
And most importantly...
“Mmm...”
While pretending to lightly massage her shoulder, she was casually revealing the red marks the leash had left around her neck. She thought I wouldn’t notice. That was only natural. After all, I was the one who kept two perverted females of my own.
I pulled the leash out and played with it, angling it so the ring sat right against her neckline. When I locked eyes with her, Ji-ye auntie gave a tiny, involuntary shiver.
'Kim Se-hyun’s high Charm stat strongly stimulates target 'Hwang Ji-ye’s pet preference. She feels a faint anticipation and excitement.
“Haa...”
“Are you okay?”
“U-um? No. I’m fine. Just a little dizzy...”
She took another sip of Coke. I wasn’t about to push any further. After all, she had started the seduction, and the one who showed her true colors here was her. If I went even one step more, I’d be the one who seduced her.
And most importantly,
'Hwang Ji-ye’s pet preference "pet" activates strongly. Tonight looks like the perfect opportunity.
The original goal had been achieved.
***
“Haa... Hwaht...”
A sign that said “Used the restroom” had been hanging by the convenience-store entrance for a long time. This particular store had a decent toilet in the back, though, and staying locked inside to relieve herself for that long was quite the indulgence.
- Scrunch, scrunch, scrunch...
“Ahh... Hwaaa... Hwaaa-ugh...”
I had tried poking her between the legs with my fingers, but her insides had already lost some of their elasticity, and two fingers weren’t enough anymore. Su-ah had pulled another dildo out of the bag she brought and slammed it in mercilessly.
- Puuuuk!!
“Uguu...!!”
Now her body could no longer take it. After all, because of her pet preference, the only thing that could truly satisfy her was being pampered by her owner. No matter how much she fingered herself, she probably couldn’t get the same release as being gently stroked by the man she had accepted as her owner.
“Can’t... do it anymore... I can’t find one...”
If she were still in her youth, she might have gone out and hooked a great man, then shamelessly spread her legs. But confidence had deserted her. She had come to believe her body would never find a young, perfect owner again.
“Me too... me too... Hwaaah...!!”
- Plunge! Puuuk!! Plunge!!
Even as I drove the dildo into her with rough, forceful strokes, the image of that college student she had met at lunch kept flashing through her mind.
“Haa... Haa...”
She had no choice but to remember that handsome man whose eyes had burned into her memory—those sticky, hungry eyes that made her feel like she was being watched in the most delicious way.
- Plunge! Plunge! Plunge! Plunge!
“Hwaa... Hwa...”
In the end, as night grew late, Ji-ye kept reaching the edge of frustration inside the cramped restroom until she had come again and again. And that was why, in the middle of the night when everyone else was asleep, she stepped out of the store wearing nothing but a coat.
