Chapter Title: Suspicious Younger Sister Jeong Ji-su (1)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I checked the time after exiting the sinkhole.
"1:30. Oppa must've already gotten off work."
My whole body felt heavy and sore from pushing myself these past few days.
Still, thanks to that effort, we cleared the sinkhole quicker than expected, so I had no complaints.
"Ji-su Hunter."
"Ah, Kim Cheol-su Hunter."
A muscular man with short-cropped hair approached me.
B-Rank Hunter Kim Cheol-su.
He grinned broadly, looking pleased.
"Thanks to you, Hunter, we wrapped up the sweep ahead of schedule. I really appreciate it."
"No, it's not like I was the only one working hard."
"From what I saw, you were the most enthusiastic one out there, Ji-su Hunter."
"What can you do? They don't pay much, and no mission finishes faster just because one or two people bust their asses."
If all the A-Rank and B-Rank hunters had gone all out, we could've shaved off two or three days from the sweep.
But no one pours everything into a mobilization with low rewards and high risks.
If I hadn't stepped up and smashed every monster in sight, we'd still be camping inside the sinkhole right now.
To fulfill the full week designated by the Hunter Association.
"Hunter, it's not much by way of thanks, but how about I give you a ride home?"
"No thanks. I still have uses left on my skill, so I should be fine."
"Ah, right. In that case, swing by Awakening later. I'll treat you to a coffee as thanks."
"Sure... Good work out there."
"Yeah, you too."
I finished chatting with Kim Cheol-su Hunter and turned away.
Unpleasant guy...
Kim Cheol-su was a married man.
Bae Da-hye's husband, who ran the Awakening cafe.
As a hunter, he was beyond reproach, but every time I saw him chatting up high-ranking single women, this weird feeling washed over me.
Whatever kind of life he leads, it's none of my business...
I headed toward where Hye-jeong unnie was.
"Unnie."
"Ah, Ji-su."
"Did you feel it again today?"
"Yeah. Today it lasted about a minute."
"He's using the skill every single day, huh."
"Up to three times a day at most. Shortest is 30 seconds, longest about a minute and a half. Time stops without fail every day."
From the first day of mobilization, Hye-jeong unnie had focused all her attention on the moments when time froze.
Worrying about when it would happen next, why it was occurring, and why she alone could sense it.
"Ji-su, I really need to look into this phenomenon more closely. I have a bad feeling about it. As a priest serving Lord Chronos, there must be some role for me to play."
"Got it. If I learn anything, I'll contact you right away. And unnie, if you need any help from me, don't hesitate to reach out."
"Thanks! You believe me!"
"You're not the type to lie. Oh, if you didn't bring your car, want to head to Seoul together? I'll open a portal."
"Ah... no, I need to stop by the guild first."
"Alright. See you later, then."
"Yeah. Take care. Talk soon."
I left Hye-jeong unnie behind and headed deeper into the mountains.
I stopped on a quiet forest path with no one around.
"Wormhole."
As I murmured the activation word, empty space split vertically.
A long fissure appeared, like slicing into a cream cake with a knife.
Soon, the crack yawned wide enough for a person to pass through comfortably.
Inside the oval portal was pitch-black darkness.
"What did he want to tell me...?"
I come home at least once a week.
Oppa knows that well.
Yet he couldn't wait that week and called specifically to say he wanted to meet.
It must be something really important.
"No way he actually got a girlfriend, right?"
I shook my head to dispel the ominous thought and stepped into the wormhole.
I needed to meet Oppa quickly and hear him out.
"Ngh♥"
Bae Da-hye lifted her skirt and let out a moan.
Behind the cafe counter.
In the small room screened off by a single curtain, Bae Da-hye stood with her legs spread.
"Our Da-hye kept it properly plugged up, huh?"
As I pulled out the menstrual cup and gently stroked her pristine white thigh, thick semen gushed out from her pussy with a wet blurp.
"Ah... it's... flowing out..."
"How was it? What did it feel like working with my cum inside you?"
"It... made my heart race so much. Every time I moved, your cum sloshed around inside me... My body kept heating up, but I couldn't do anything about it alone... I wanted to see you so bad..."
"And your juices were dripping down your thighs?"
"Ah...♥"
I leaned in and licked her thigh.
I couldn't bring myself to taste my own semen, so I slyly lapped only at the trails left by her arousal fluids.
Vrrr—
Then my phone buzzed loudly.
But I ignored it.
Right now, nothing mattered more than savoring Da-hye's skin.
Vrrr—!
Vrrr-vrrr—!
It'll stop after a few rings.
She'll get the hint if I don't pick up.
But my smartphone kept vibrating relentlessly, proving me wrong.
Smack—
"Hnnngh♥"
I gave Da-hye's clit a light apologetic kiss.
"Hold on, Da-hye. Let me just turn off my phone..."
[Little Sis]
My pounding heart started cooling off.
My rock-hard dick slowly drooped its head.
This is weird.
Smartphones don't work inside sinkholes.
A call coming in meant Ji-su had already exited the sinkhole.
I... guess we have to wrap this up...
Ji-su can hop through space at will.
Using her spatial skill like teleportation, she can zip to anywhere she wants anytime.
In other words, she could burst through the cafe door right this second, and it wouldn't be strange at all.
"Da-hye..."
I stood up and pulled Bae Da-hye into a hug.
I gave her a few light kisses on the lips, then opened my mouth.
"Sorry, but I think we have to call it today."
"Huh? Why? Who's calling...?"
"My little sister."
"Ah..."
Deep regret crossed Da-hye's face.
"Don't be too bummed. Tomorrow, the day after—we've got plenty of time."
"Yeah... you're right."
One hand supporting her waist, the other gripping her ass firmly, I kissed her.
My sky-high arousal had plummeted, but even so, French-kissing a married woman felt nothing short of amazing.
The phone rang a few more times,
and finally, Oppa picked up.
"Hello?"
"Oppa. Why'd you take so long to answer?"
"Ah, I had it on silent. Just saw it now. Sorry, sorry."
Liar.
Oppa's voice sounded subtly low.
And Oppa never sets his phone to silent. He always has it on vibrate.
"Didn't you say no calls for a week? You called quick."
"It wrapped up sooner than expected."
"Good thing. You didn't get hurt anywhere, right?"
Not only did he change the subject fast, he's checking on me too.
Suspicious points are piling up.
"Oppa. Where are you right now?"
"First-floor cafe. Heading home now."
"Wait there. I'm coming over."
"Huh? Where are you?"
I glanced down at the building below.
Too many people passing by—I couldn't just jump.
"Where else? On the roof."
"Oh! Hi! Long time no see~."
Da-hye greeted Ji-su with a smile, and Ji-su, entering the cafe, gave a slight bow.
"Hello."
Ji-su turned her gaze to me.
A black cap pulled low over her head.
Straight black hair even darker than the cap.
Tight black skinny jeans hugging her body and a relatively loose black short-sleeved tee.
Black from head to toe, as usual.
But it didn't look drab or gloomy.
Her pale skin, striking features that demanded attention, three piercings in her right ear, and silver necklace around her neck gave off a unique charm instead.
Our genes are similar, but...
My Face Score is 43 points.
But Ji-su's face had to be at least 80, no matter how generously I lowballed it.
"Oppa."
"...Yeah?"
Before I knew it, Ji-su had approached my seat and was staring straight into my face.
She tilted her head.
"Something... feels different about you?"
"Feels different? What do you mean?"
"Like... you look a bit more handsome? That kind of vibe."
"......"
No way she noticed my Face Score went up by 1 point?
Is that even possible?
I could barely tell in the mirror...
"Just... tired, that's all."
"Tired? Why?"
"Uh... haven't been sleeping well. Can't seem to get any rest lately."
"......"
Ji-su leaned in closer, sniffing at me.
"Oppa. Why do you smell like women's perfume?"
"P-perfume? Hmm? Oh! One of the study room members today had on really strong perfume... maybe that's it?"
"...Really?"
That was when it happened.
As Ji-su eyed me suspiciously, a new mission message slid into view beside her.
