Episode 87. With Heart, Word, Deed, and Life 2

I staggered into the classroom on trembling legs.

My mouth felt sticky all over as if I'd melted and eaten candy, and a sweet taste kept lingering on the tip of my tongue. Every time I recalled that taste, my head felt dizzy, so I had to keep squeezing my eyes shut and opening them to regain my composure.

Several kids had already arrived inside. Had we really kissed for that long...?

'What the.'

Even when Seyeon roughly slid open the back door with a drrrruk- sound, not a single person turned to look.

I poked Seyeon's shoulder and whispered quietly.

"What did you mean earlier when you said they couldn't see?"

Seyeon, who had been pulling me along while tightly gripping my wrist, glanced at me and said.

"Exactly what it means. Want to test it out?"

"Huh...?"

As I flustered at her suggestion to test it, Seyeon dragged me along.

"Here, stand in front of her."

"No, what are you trying to do all of a sudden......"

The place Seyeon forcibly dragged me to was the very front desk of the classroom. She positioned me right across from that desk.

Sitting at the desk was the female Vice Class President. She had short hair and glasses, and I remembered she had quite a few friends. Which was probably why she became Vice Class President.

True to her studious image, she was diligently solving workbook problems even before the morning assembly.

Wondering what she intended to do, I stared blankly at Seyeon.

Tap tap.

Then Seyeon lightly tapped the Vice Class President's desk with her slender index finger.

"No reaction, right?"

"Yeah."

That's right. Just as I said, there was no reaction. No matter how focused she was on studying, she should have been bothered by someone tapping her desk loudly, but the Vice Class President just kept her head down and continued solving problems.

I gulped. It felt amazing but also somewhat absurd.

This ability probably didn't just affect the Vice Class President initially, but would have applied to the entire class and even the hallway (since we kissed there earlier)......

"...Why exactly do you attend the Academy?"

"Because Dad told me to. She said I need to be socialized."

"Ah, I see."

When I replied in a cold, hardened voice, Seyeon chuckled.

"Anyway, it worked well. I bet she'd keep studying even if I slapped her hard across the cheek?"

"Don't do that, please."

Startled, I tightly grabbed Seyeon's shoulder. She's really the type who might actually do that.

"Just joking. Would I really do something that mean?"

"......"

Somehow irritated, I glared at Seyeon. Seyeon laughed again as if finding me ridiculous.

"Instead."

"Instead?"

'...Ah.'

The moment I felt a ominous sensation shoot up my spine at Seyeon's word "instead," and tried to quickly move away-

Snatch.

"Ah...!"

Seyeon tightly hugged me from behind so I couldn't escape-

Whoosh-

She grabbed my skirt hem and lifted it ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠up in one swift motion.

'......!'

Goosebumps rose all over my body as the cool morning air touched between my legs.

"Hey, hey! Are you crazy?! Let go, this! Quickly!"

"Why? They can't see anyway, so what."

"Let go!!!"

With my face bright red, I shouted wildly and struggled desperately to escape Seyeon's embrace, but her arm strength was too formidable, and all I could do was flail my limbs around.

'Crazy, crazy...!'

Since my school uniform skirt was completely lifted, my panties—soaked through with all the pussy Water I'd leaked earlier—were fully exposed. They were barely a hand's span away from the Vice Class President's nose.

"No, what are you really doing!!!"

"Look, look. Even with Yubin's panties—reeking of female scent—right in front of her eyes, she shows no reaction."

"I get it, so stop it, please!"

Clatter!

In my frantic struggling, I accidentally hit the desk hard, causing the workbook the Vice Class President was solving to jolt. Because of that, her mechanical pencil slipped and drew a long black line across the paper.

Then the Vice Class President's hand ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠stopped abruptly.

'......Gasp.'

My heart sank.

Why did she stop? Could the magic have worn off?

If so, wouldn't my panties have suddenly appeared before her eyes?

"......"

A scenario flashed through my mind in one second: The Vice Class President, startled at seeing my panties, goes to the teacher's office to tell the teacher, rumors spread among friends until the whole school knows 'Eun Yubin is a crazy bitch who lifts her skirt to show her panties to others,' it gets published in the school magazine, eventually makes it to terrestrial broadcast news on all three major networks, I drop out of school, become a recluse at home, barely survive on occasional support money from Seyeon who visits sometimes, but as time passes even that modest support gets cut off, and I end up spending all four seasons with a single worn-out thin blanket in a narrow, chilly small room, forcing my creaky old body to move just to eat and sleep on repeat, dying lonely and ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠miserable—a tragic life-ending scenario (12 episodes).

"Ah, ah......"

This is bad.

My pupils trembling, I looked down at the Vice Class President.

The Vice Class President, who had briefly lifted her head, then scrunched up her face tightly.

"Did I doze off for a moment...?"

And then she just vigorously rubbed her workbook with an eraser.

"......"

"See, I told you we wouldn't get caught, Yubin-ah."

Only then did Seyeon slowly release the arms that had been holding me. Of course, she also let go of my skirt hem.

"Haa, haa, fuck......"

My legs gave out and I crouched down as if collapsing. My heart was pounding, thump, thump, as if about to burst.

"Are you okay?"

"Not okay. Get away."

"I'll help you up."

"I said get away-"

Shuuk-

Seyeon slid her arm under my armpit and pulled me straight up.

Forcibly lifted up, I immediately turned around and shoved Seyeon hard.

"Ouch."

"You, don't talk to me today! If you really talk to me......"

'...What will I do if she talks to me?'

After thinking for a moment, I opened my mouth again.

"If you talk to me, I won't just let it slide anyway!"

Then I stomped my feet noisily and returned to my seat.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Afterward, whether Seyeon lifted the magic or not, attendance proceeded properly.

Because of that dizzying sensation, I couldn't properly focus on class.

...Not that I could focus on class anyway, but regardless.

The reason the morning's experience came as such a huge shock to me was obvious.

Until now, we'd only done lewd things in places with just the two of us.

Of course, we'd done it outdoors a few times too, but regardless, no one else saw. Because it was a place with only me and Seyeon.

But just now... we openly did weird things in front of a girl who has nothing to do with us.

"Ha, seriously."

Recalling that time made my face burn hot again. No matter how much they couldn't perceive it, there's no way I wouldn't be embarrassed about having my skirt lifted and my panties shown openly in a public place like the front of the classroom. Especially when the Vice Class President stopped her hand, my vision went black and I almost fainted on the spot.

"Yubin-ah."

Moreover, what's more shocking and infuriating is that the culprit of this situation—this girl—whether she forgot my warning or is ignoring it, keeps talking to me.

"......"

"Are you mad? Huh?"

During lunch break, after finishing my meal, I was sitting under the shade of the stadium stands on the Training Ground to rest, when she suddenly toddled over to my side and started bothering me like this.

So I was trying my best to ignore her, but it was gradually becoming hard to bear.

Jump.

I immediately stood up, walked quite a distance along the stands, and sat down again.

Then Seyeon sat down right next to me again.

'...She followed me again.'

I didn't even hear footsteps.

"Yubin-ah-"

"Ah, what! What!"

My anger boiling over, I finally shouted sharply in a fierce voice.

"Are you mad?"

"Can't you tell? Stop bothering me! We're going to see each other tonight anyway, why are you making such a fuss! Huh?"

"No, just. I'm sorry."

"...Liar."

"I'm serious."

It was unbelievable. How could she lie like that without even changing her expression?

'If she was going to be sorry, she wouldn't have done something like that in the first place.'

As I exhaled hot breath and fumed, Seyeon slowly approached me.

"I'm really sorry, Yubin-ah."

"I get it, so don't come near- Ugh."

And then she simply spread her arms and lightly hugged me.

"......"

As my body was softly but firmly enveloped, my fingertips trembled slightly.

"Ah, did you cast the Invisibility Magic?"

Stammering, I glanced at Seyeon. Seyeon had already buried her face in my nape, so I couldn't see her expression.

"No."

Seyeon answered in a deeply subdued voice. Her ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠hot breath touched my skin and melted away inward.

"Hey...! What if someone sees-"

"What's wrong with hugging? Close friends all do it."

"That's definitely a lie- Heh...!"

The moment I tried to finish my sentence, Seyeon pulled me tighter and hugged me firmly. Instantly, my breath caught and my eyes widened.

'...She's trying to brush it off with skinship again.'

She knows that if she touches my hands, kisses me, and pokes my lower abdomen, I turn into a horny female dog in heat and act all coy.

'No, what female dog. Seriously, ha......'

"Y-you think I'll just let it slide with this? Huh...?"

"......"

I held my breath trying not to inhale her scent as much as possible, but because my body was squeezed tightly, my breathing kept getting shallower, and I helplessly ended up smelling Seyeon's fragrance.

Then my head quickly grew fuzzy and my body started to go limp.

Seyeon didn't respond to my words and just gently raised her hand. Then she began tenderly stroking the back of my head. Starting from the back of my hair, she lightly brushed through all of it as if combing, then softly rubbed from my nape down to my back, soothing and comforting me.

"St-stop that, ah......"

My head suddenly felt dizzy, my legs stiffened straight, and I tightly gripped Seyeon's school jacket with my hand.

Something ticklish stirred in my heart. Every time Seyeon's hand stroked my back, my heart beat shyly thump thump and my cheeks burned bright red.

I tried hard to look away, but my head kept turning on its own, wanting to gaze affectionately at Seyeon.

'Ah, why am I like this......'

It's not even a kiss, just hugging. Something I've experienced countless times.

So why does this alone make my anger melt away......

Even though I kept inhaling her fragrance, I didn't feel particularly excited. It just... felt like my heart became very peaceful. That was all.

How much time passed like that?

♩♪♬~

By the time the bell rang signaling the end of lunch break, I was rubbing my cheek against Seyeon's clothes while tightly clutching her hem.

"Yubin-ah, has your anger subsided?"

"...It's subsided, so let me go. How long are you going to keep hugging me?"

"Okay."

Finally released from Seyeon, I took a deep breath. It felt like my mind was clearing.

"We'll be late at this rate. We need to change clothes too, so let's hurry."

Seyeon grabbed my wrist and, as usual, started pulling me along arbitrarily. During this, I just followed along with my head bowed deeply in embarrassment, keeping my mouth firmly shut.

This time, my underwear didn't get wet.
