11. A Man Who Doesn't Get Screwed Over
11. A Man Who Doesn't Get Screwed Over
+++
Tae-hee was meditating.
She had already finished all the work she needed to do anyway, and the wild fantasy that had suddenly popped into her head during dinner time just wouldn't settle down.
A hypocritical situation where she lusted after her granddaughter's husband as a man, yet despised herself for it on the other hand.
She sank into deep contemplation to soothe that torment.
Tok tok.
-I'm coming in.
The intruder who entered at that moment.
With her long straight hair swaying as she strode in confidently, it was this mansion's unwelcome guest, Ha So-ri.
Who else but Ha So-ri would barge into someone else's room without permission, acting like it was her own house?
"What is it? Sudden meditation out of nowhere? I'd get it if it was training."
"...."
The sound of her chattering away as she plopped down on a nearby chair.
Tae-hee tried her best to ignore it and focus on her meditation.
If she kept ignoring her, she'd leave on her own eventually.
But....
"...By any chance, are you interested in that human?"
"Cough."
So-ri's Mind Reading shattered her focus in an instant.
Her Nobling flow disrupted in a flash, surging back!
Fortunately, Tae-hee was so accustomed to handling it that she suppressed it without much trouble, but she couldn't fool So-ri's sharp eyes.
"What? It's true?"
"...."
"Speak up, you punk. Should I go tell Ina?"
"No."
Surrender in the end.
"Hoo... I'm not a kid... Is that blackmail supposed to be tattling? To someone like my granddaughter, no less."
"Blackmail? There's a horny she-wolf eyeing someone else's husband right in front of me—shouldn't I tell the wife as a responsible adult?"
"...Who's the horny she-wolf? Don't get the wrong idea. And Ina isn't 'someone else.'"
"So it's okay to eye Ina's husband because she's not 'someone else'? Wow. I thought you were a righteous knight, but you're just a common thug."
Tremble tremble.
"Who...! Who's calling who a thug...!"
"Me, to you. Lusting after your granddaughter's husband? Whoa, I'm seeing you in a new light."
Clap clap clap.
"I've never had those thoughts. Don't twist it around."
"Then why'd you freak out just now?"
"Because it was so ridiculous. Isn't that obvious?"
Tae-hee pulled a poker face and turned her head slightly.
It looked just like she was avoiding eye contact.
"Look at you, look at you. Avoiding my eyes."
"No."
"Well, he's pretty cocky, but doesn't that make it a unique charm?"
"...?"
Tae-hee's gaze snapped back at the odd nuance.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"...No way, right?"
"What, you bitch. You think I don't know you?"
"....You keep treating me like some weird woman, but I'm telling you it's not true."
"Yeah, yeah, that's what you'd say. But it has to be convincing~ I know your type~."
Tae-hee ground her teeth at So-ri's relentless teasing despite her denials.
She always thought this, but what a utterly undignified woman. Did she even have any sense of being an adult?
"Whatever, where are the others and what are they up to?"
"Why come ask me?"
"What? You pissed?"
"Ha. Just how do you see me?"
"You're just a young punk, what else?"
"Coming from someone who can't even act their age, that's rich."
"So where are the others?"
"....Ina said she's bathing with Soyoung... I really don't know about the rest."
"Hmm."
She doesn't know about the rest, huh.
The 'rest' were basically Ha Yeon-seo, Ryu Si-hwan, Yoo Eun-hye, and Phone Eun-jeong....
For starters, Eun-jeong was holed up in her (Ha So-ri's) room, and Eun-hye was on rotation for guard duty, so she'd gone to bed before dinner.
That left Ha Yeon-seo and Ryu Si-hwan.
To anyone just glancing over it, it'd seem like 'those two are unaccounted for,' but to So-ri, who knew their relationship, it connected straight to a very suspicious situation.
"Yeah? Got it."
Her lower body suddenly heating up, she hopped to her feet.
"? Are you leaving?"
"What, you want me to stick around?"
"That's not... You came just to ask that?"
"Yep."
"...."
Tae-hee felt deep rage at her innocently nodding face.
No sense of propriety whatsoever.
.
.
Leaving Tae-hee's room, So-ri started searching for places where Yeon-seo and Si-hwan might be.
Where would a man and woman who've already hooked up once be on a night like this?
Usually in some dark, deserted spot—
"Crazy. They're doing it right out in the open."
—she figured they'd be up to something, but who would've thought on the terrace of all places.
"...."
"...."
She'd opened the door with zero thoughts, pure spinal reflex, and there was an adulterous couple mid-kiss.
"Wow."
She was impressed.
Even if his wife was off bathing, kissing a side chick under the same roof?
And not even in some secluded room—on a terrace where anyone could walk by at any time without it being weird.
At least lock the damn door.
"What are you doing here?"
Si-hwan asked, breaking the kiss.
They were just about to take it further, and now this intruder.
"What do you mean? I just came to the terrace for some air."
She made up a casual lie and gently closed the door behind her.
"You two are something else. How can you be so blatant?"
"...We haven't done anything specific yet."
"From our Yeon-seo's perspective, where butt sex is the benchmark, sure~ But normal folks count even a kiss as cheating~."
"Ha... that line again?"
"...Huh? How'd you know that?"
Yeon-seo sighed, while Si-hwan looked shocked.
She'd kinda guessed from So-ri's reaction when they first met.
That she knew about his relationship with Yeon-seo.
But knowing they'd gone all the way? That was something only Si-hwan, Yeon-seo, and Bari knew.
"You're looser-lipped than I thought? I figured you'd never tell a soul."
Yeon-seo shot back with a pissed expression.
Her anger came through crystal clear from how she chewed each word.
"...You think I'd say it out loud myself?"
"Not you? Then who? It wasn't Bari."
"You got caught because of that letter you sent. That trashy wording."
"Letter? You mean the text? Hey, you don't just show those around. Privacy, you know."
"Aw, seriously... Can't even hit you over this."
Who the hell got us into this mess?
"Yeon-seo, no hitting humans. Hold it in."
"...."
I wanna hit you too, not just her.
Yeon-seo couldn't bring herself to say it, so she took a big breath and shut her mouth.
"But why do you keep coming closer? Once you see someone's there, you back off like a normal person."
"Why should I?"
Grinning ear to ear, she sauntered right up to his nose.
"I've never made way for anyone?"
"Brag much?"
Whoosh.
Her scent tickled his nose.
The face right in front of him.
Her beaming smile was beautiful but intensely violent.
Like it was brimming with some inexpressible desire.
"Oh yeah, Yeon-seo, Tae-hee was looking for you?"
"Huh? Why would she call for me?"
"No idea. Go see. Don't keep her waiting."
"...."
Something felt off.
What connection would the Head of the Yu Family have to summon the Ha family's granddaughter?
And didn't she just say she was out for air? Why's she suddenly running errands?
Hell, sending a guest instead of a servant to fetch someone was weird to begin with.
"Why the stare? Think I'd lie?"
"...No. I'll go."
"What? Just like that?"
"No choice."
If Yeon-seo's trust in So-ri was a number, it'd be about 1.5%.
The level where she suspected shenanigans in everything.
But even so, she couldn't imagine So-ri messing with the Head of the Yu Family.
That'd be way too grave an insult.
She was a family head too—surely not that thoughtless and frivolous.
"...."
At the door, she turned back to look at Si-hwan and So-ri.
Si-hwan frowning like something was off, So-ri wearing a playful smile.
Still feeling that nagging doubt, she left the terrace.
"But where's your doll?"
"She's doing experiments."
"Experiments?"
"Yeah. It's a science thing."
"?"
She tilted her head, not getting it.
Science what?
But she flashed a bright smile like it didn't matter.
"Anyway, you're alone now, huh?"
"What's it to you? We're in the same house anyway."
"Well, you could see it that way~."
Squelch.
"?
She showed her true colors.
"Wow, look at it getting grabbed before you even stand up straight. No joke."
"...What are you doing."
Knead knead.
"Ooh, it's growing."
"Hey, quit it."
He grabbed her arm mauling him without permission and tried to pry it off, but of course, no dice.
"Hold still."
She shoved Si-hwan against the wall.
"It's been a while since I got turned on by a guy? But you... I kinda wanna fuck you."
"You nuts?"
He pushed back at her aggressively advancing body, but it didn't budge an inch.
Poke it and it squishes softly—where the hell did this strength come from?
"What? Resisting?"
Delighted by his reaction, she let out a "Mm-hmm" through her nose and whispered in his ear.
"Cute. But what're you gonna do about it?"
Grinning provocatively, she pinned both his arms to the wall and shoved her tongue into his ear.
"Urk!"
Binding the prey so it couldn't twitch, then devouring it trembling in fear and shame—this peak pleasure.
A long stream of fluid already trickled from her soaking wet lower parts.
Si-hwan's dick stiffened rock-hard against his will too.
"Hmm... Size passes~."
"Stop...!"
After his ear and cheek, she finally claimed his lips.
Lips forced open, tongue thrusting in.
Lewd scent flooding in, shivers running through his whole body.
'This fucking bitch dares to...'
Sure, it felt good, but his sky-high pride couldn't allow it.
Finally, he made his move.
Suit on!
...No corny lines, but the Absolute Suit activated at his command.
"...?"
So-ri noticed the change only after a good while.
Lost in the kiss, her hand naturally drifted south, feeling something metallic and hard.
Pulling back, she saw the suit gleaming in the moonlight and Si-hwan glaring unhappily.
"What the hell is this?"
