"Ugh..."
My stomach felt absolutely awful.
I couldn't even remember the last time I'd puked up everything inside me like this.
"What in the world... happened?"
I flushed the toilet and struggled to my feet.
My reflection in the mirror looked utterly haggard.
My already pale face had gone ghostly white, like someone deathly ill.
It had been the same back then, when I'd emptied everything out of me.
Back then...
When I was fifteen and awakened for the first time...
People destined to awaken usually did so on their twentieth birthday.
But there were rare exceptions.
Some awakened earlier, like me, while others did so later.
The reason wasn't fully understood. There were just some common threads.
A massive emotional upheaval. And a desperate wish.
Those who awakened at unusual times always had at least one of the two.
I was the same.
Back when I was in my second year of middle school.
I still remembered that incident from nearly twenty years ago as vividly as ever.
The suffocatingly hot summer air.
The nauseating stench of booze and sweat.
The scorching heat of the car seat seeping through my uniform.
The brutish hand slamming down on my face until I couldn't resist.
And the shape of the cock forcing its way into my mouth, along with that horrific taste lingering on my tongue.
That day, I desperately wished for it.
For the power to overcome this situation.
For the strength to smash this injustice to pieces.
That day, I prayed fervently.
If there was a god, to help me.
If there was a devil, to help me.
And that's how I awakened.
The man who tried to rape me froze to death in that sweltering car on that hot summer day.
"What happened?"
The feeling was so horrific it brought back those memories.
It had come out of nowhere while I was talking with Ji-su.
Someone's hand had stroked my waist.
Pulled down my pants and spread my legs.
Pushed aside my panties and fondled my pussy.
Tickled my thighs and then pulled my pants back up.
And then...
Pried open my mouth...
And shoved a cock inside.
All of it had happened to me in sequence, in a single instant.
'Did I get hit by a skill? But I didn't sense anything like that.'
The moment I felt something off, I'd checked Ji-su's expression right away.
But she didn't seem to have noticed anything unusual either.
'Ji-su wouldn't have done it... She doesn't have a skill that subtle... And she doesn't even have a dick...'
It wasn't a dildo.
The texture and taste were unmistakably a real cock.
That left only one possibility.
There was someone else in this house besides Ji-su and me.
A man with a cock.
The man who got Ji-su pregnant...
'Someone with a skill so powerful I couldn't even detect it... A guy with that kind of ability... in Korea?'
The only people who came to mind right now were Sister Ja-cheong-bi or Grandma Mago.
Both were legendary figures who had left their mark on the hunter world.
No matter how much of a man he was, I couldn't have missed someone on their level.
"Come to think of it... there's something on my thigh too..."
I pulled down my pants to check my thigh.
There, written on it, were the words: Jeong Ji-ham Exclusive Pussy →
"Wh-what the hell...?"
I shuddered at the neatly penned letters, each one perfectly formed.
Exclusive pussy?
And what was Jeong Ji-ham?
Did it mean the pussy was stopped? Or was there a person named Jeong Ji-ham?
"Sis, what's wrong? You okay?"
Ji-su's voice came from outside the door.
"Ji-su..."
"Yeah?"
"By any chance... is the baby's dad's name... Jeong Ji-ham?"
"......"
It seemed I was right.
"How dare you... pull a stunt like that on me?"
"S-sis... what's going on? Why bring up my oppa?"
Ji-su's voice carried unmistakable anxiety.
The voice of a woman worried I'd harm the baby's father.
"Ji-su. Would it be okay if I... met your boyfriend?"
.
.
.
Jeong Ji-ham's first impression was, in a word, the worst.
A face you couldn't call handsome even being generous.
Not tall, not built well either.
The only thing he might have going for him was his abilities?
High awakener rank maybe?
Even so, it didn't change the bad vibe. Ji-su called him 'oppa.' He was older than her. But I'd never heard of a hunter named Jeong Ji-ham.
This meant he was hiding his power.
Someone who used his abilities for selfish desires.
Someone who used skills not on monsters, but on people.
In short, trash.
'More than that... there's one more person in the room...'
The room must have had some special treatment; with the door closed, I couldn't sense any presence.
But as the door opened and a foul smell wafted out, I sensed it clearly.
There was someone else inside.
'Woman or man, either way it's a problem...'
How did a guy like this seduce Ji-su?
Were her tastes that weird?
What the hell did she see in him?
'No way... the sex? Was the sex that mind-blowing?'
Nothing else came to mind.
"Seol Yi-seom-ssi."
I flinched at Jeong Ji-ham's voice.
Just being in a cramped space with a man made me sick, and now I had to talk to him too... My stomach was churning again.
"Don't speak."
"Pardon?"
"I said don't talk. It disgusts me."
"Sis..."
"Write it on your smartphone."
"......"
"And be grateful I'm even using polite language. If Ji-su weren't pregnant... I'd have beaten you half to death to separate you two."
People who treat others carelessly are always weak to violence directed at them.
This guy would be no different.
'Even if not, quietly killing one person is no big deal.'
Living my life solo forever was better than spending it with a guy like this.
If Ji-su didn't have a baby in her belly, I might've secretly killed him later.
"Sis... don't get mad... Let's talk it out."
Ji-su sat right next to Jeong Ji-ham.
Positioned to block me if I attacked him...
"And... sis... could you rein in your aura a bit? It's too cold..."
"Haa..."
I let out a deep sigh and tapped my legs.
I'd tried rubbing it off in the bathroom, but it was like it was written with permanent marker—it wouldn't come off.
So that vulgar, crude message was tattooed on my thigh like a brand.
"Fine. What the hell were you thinking, doing something like that?"
"......"
Even going this gentle had its reasons.
This was the turning point. Depending on how he acted, so would I.
'If he's irredeemable trash... I'll take his life if I have to... to save Ji-su.'
I could take care of Ji-su and the baby just fine.
A man like that... a man who shoves his dick where it's not welcome... deserved to die.
Then, Jeong Ji-ham dropped to the floor from the sofa.
He hit his knees hard enough to make a thud as he left Ji-su's arms.
"O-oppa? You okay?"
"......"
Ji-su panicked, worrying about his knees.
But instead of responding to her concern, he was tapping away on his smartphone.
[I can explain everything. The graffiti on your leg, the actions that made you uncomfortable—I can explain it all.]
Not bad.
I wasn't sure if it was sincere or just lip service.
But the fact that he wasn't making excuses and seemed to be begging forgiveness showed potential for redemption.
[Before that, could you grant me one request without asking questions? There's an unavoidable reason for this. I swear it's not malicious.]
"Even so, does a man kneel that easily? In front of his own woman? Did you even consider Ji-su's feelings?"
He tapped out another message on his phone and showed it to Ji-su.
Even something he could've said aloud, he was considerate enough to write properly for my sake.
"Fine. For Ji-su's sake, I'll hear you out once. But if your explanation doesn't convince me... I'll make you feel every bit of the humiliation I did. Keep that in mind."
[Then let me touch your breasts.]
"......"
[Just 10 minutes.]
I closed my eyes.
I must have misread it.
When I opened them again, I hoped the words on the screen had changed.
[Just 10 minutes.]
They hadn't.
They were written there as clearly as the message branded on my thigh.
"Trash..."
"S-sis... I'm begging you too!"
Ji-su knelt down beside Jeong Ji-ham.
"Lend sis your breasts for just 10 minutes!"
