Chapter Title: Awakened Jeong Ji-ham (2)

-----------------------------------------------------------------

"Th-this is weird? It still hurts..."

The sensation lingered vividly.

The pressure on my nipples, like they were being pinched.

And the feeling of my chest being roughly grabbed.

There was no way this was just my imagination.

"What the hell... Is this thing broken?"

In the footage, the owner was still just standing outside the counter.

The only odd thing was that my tracksuit jacket had somehow been pulled down in the blink of an eye.

"Ha... Fuck, this sucks."

"Excuse me..."

Someone called out from behind me.

It was a thin, feminine voice.

"The toilet paper in the bathroom is all gone..."

"Then go buy some at the convenience store."

"Pardon?"

"I'm busy right now, so handle it yourself."

"Ah... B-but this bathroom is managed by the study room..."

"Haa... I said I'm busy. What am I supposed to do if the owner didn't stock up on toilet paper?"

"Then at least the one over there..."

I barely held back a curse and handed over the toilet paper next to the CCTV.

The woman snatched it from my hand like it was hers and scurried away.

"Wow, what a bitch. Didn't even say thanks."

Today was just one shitty thing after another.

The thought of sitting here until 1 a.m. already made my head spin.

◇◇◇

I slipped out the back door of the building and lit a cigarette.

"Status window!"

This was the status window I'd dreamed of!

Like everyone else, my dream had been to become an awakener. The kind of hunter whose name everyone knew, invited as a guest on the 9 o'clock news.

Back in elementary school, those black holes first appeared, shaking the world. Commonly called 'otherworld sinkholes.' Nowadays, people just call them sinkholes.

That's when awakeners started showing up, one by one.

And among them, only those strong enough to hunt the monsters pouring out of the sinkholes could claim the title 'hunter'—monster slayers.

I wanted to be one.

"Am I the first to awaken after thirty...?"

No matter how much I scrolled through my phone, I couldn't find anyone who'd awakened after 30.

There were a few posts on community sites, but they screamed fake.

"But... something feels off. Is it because I awakened late?"

For starters, 'Time Stop Uncle' was straight-up comedy gold.

How do you even tell people, 'I awakened at thirty as an S-rank Time Stop Uncle'?

"No, wait—Face Score 42? What's that supposed to mean? What kind of scale is this? Kinda pisses me off."

Of course, no one ever called me handsome.

It was the kind of face where I'd look in the mirror sometimes and think, 'Eh, not bad.'

But 42? Below average?

"Fine, whatever. There are tons of hot guys out there. Okay. But do status windows normally show dick length and girth...?"

"P-Penis length?"

A woman's voice came from right beside me.

I'd been so deep into studying the status window that I hadn't noticed her approach.

A woman in a deep navy nurse uniform.

I didn't know her name, but her face was familiar. She worked at the animal hospital on the first floor. We'd bumped into each other a few times.

"H-Hi..."

"Oh. Yeah."

She gave a quick nod and hurried past me.

Her hands were full of trash bags—she must've come out to dump them.

'Fuck... I can't even chase after her and explain it wasn't what it sounded like... Haa... How am I supposed to face her from now on...'

To be honest, I'd secretly looked forward to our little encounters commuting in and out.

Dyed blonde bob haircut, slim figure— she stood out.

And she had that bright, friendly personality you don't see much these days.

Even to a guy with a Face Score of 42, she'd smile and bow her head lightly...

"Even someone like her has a boyfriend at night..."

Her words echoed in my ears.

She'd definitely said 'penis.'

Stammering in surprise, but clear as day.

"I still have one use left..."

I lightly tapped 【 Time Stop (S) 】 in the status window.

A new black background with white text popped up beside it.

The explanation was so curt it felt rude.

I could stop time once more, and this time for 15 seconds.

"Fifteen seconds... That's enough time to do more than just touch..."

A mission popped up like it had read my mind.

No, honestly, taking a photo wasn't what I had in mind.

I'd just thought maybe suck on her tits this time, keep it light after groping and pinching before.

"Candid pussy shot?"

I knew it was wrong.

Secretly snapping photos of strangers is a crime, let alone stopping time to photograph her pussy?

I absolutely shouldn't do that.

"Fuck... But losing dick length is a no-go..."

Plus 0.5cm on success, minus 1cm on failure.

Sorry, Bora, but for my cock's sake, I have to do this.

It's not that long to begin with—I can't afford to shrink it more...

That's when I noticed Baek Bora bending over to sort her trash bags.

She'd tossed them carelessly, and one had tipped over, so she was fixing it.

And in that moment, her ass was perfectly accentuated.

The faint panty line was almost teasing me. I shouted right away.

"Time Stop!!!"

I bolted straight toward Baek Bora.

I hadn't sprinted properly since discharge from the military, but this was the max speed my body could muster.

I already had the perfect pose in mind for the shot.

First, I yanked down her pants and panties completely.

No time to savor the panty color.

"Red!"

Next, I spread her legs wide and bent her upper body forward more, then grabbed my smartphone.

Ass up, perfect for a rear shot.

Through the phone screen, her tight pussy came into view.

"Whoa..."

Click—! Click—! Click—!

I mashed the shutter like crazy.

Quick check—still about 10 seconds left.

Snow-white legs and thighs.

Contrasting light brown pussy.

Carefully spreading it with my fingers revealed pink inside.

Click—! Click—! Click—!

A fleeting thought crossed my mind—how was I even taking photos in stopped time?—but it didn't matter anymore.

I cursed myself for not practicing burst mode, snapped away relentlessly,

spread that light brown pussy as wide as possible,

slipped a finger inside just a bit, marveling at the wonder of the human body.

"What! Time's almost up!"

I'd gotten too lost in Baek Bora's pussy and lost track.

Only 3 seconds of the 15 remained.

No choice—I pulled back up, raced to my spot.

Sorry, no time to pull up the red panties and purple pants.

I got back, struck an awkward pose to hide my raging hard-on.

Time started moving again.

"Kyaa—!"

Baek Bora collapsed to the ground with a cute scream that put our manager to shame.

Luckily, no one around.

New building in a developing area.

Back exit with strict parking enforcement—no one to see her pussy or her panicked scramble to pull up her panties and pants while looking around.

Just me savoring the view.

I turned away, glancing at the photo of Baek Bora's pussy on my phone.

Talking to her now would just fluster her more.

Best to pretend I saw nothing.

"Agh! My d-dick!"
