Shattered Confidence
"Ugh..."
Lately, I've been having the same dream over and over. Dreams of having sex with Hye-won. Back in the day, they would've been exciting, filthy dreams that left me sneaking off to wash my underwear afterward... but these days, they're nothing short of nightmares.
"Huh...? It's not getting hard...? Uh...?"
In the dream, I can't get an erection. No matter how much I stroke myself... even when Hye-won teases me... even when she licks me... It barely stiffens, and even then, fucking her is a real struggle. Maybe it's because it's been so long, but her pussy feels incredibly sticky inside, stimulating my cock from every angle at once. Honestly, it's hard to hold out...
"Eh...? That's... it...?"
Our eyes meet. In the dream, Hye-won's gaze is filled with disappointment. Those words stab into my chest like a dagger. It's humiliating... The humiliation makes me force a casual smile and go for another round.
"...It felt good, honey..♡"
I can feel the pity in her words from the dream. She's still disappointed, still unsatisfied, but she's too kind and good-hearted to say it outright. I just... stare at Hye-won's disappointed face... and wake up.
"Hoo... Fuck..."
It would've been better if it were a nightmare where someone was killing me or chasing me down...
"Thirsty..."
I quietly slip out of bed so as not to wake Hye-won, who's sleeping soundly beside me, and head to the fridge. I take out a bottle of water and drink it down quietly. Cold sweat trickles down my back. Then, I remember the business card I got last time.
Choi Ha-yul
Hypnotherapy Psychologist...
Honestly, I don't believe in hypnosis. I can't buy that someone could be completely controlled just because a hypnotist says so. I look up Choi Ha-yul online. She seems... pretty popular. Famous, even. The hospital recommended her, and right now, I'm in no position to be picky about hot or cold rice. Might as well book an appointment...
＊＊＊
Ring ring.
"Oh my~ What's up, doc?"
A urologist in his fifties calls, sounding all smug and full of himself.
"Ha-yul, I've got this recent patient. He's 27, pretty handsome guy. So I recommended you~"
He's like a kid craving praise despite his age. This guy's been my patient before. Devoted family man, picture-perfect home life. Came in for simple insomnia, but he's the exact type of exemplary father I can't stand. That's why I just planted a suggestion in him. Made him dependent on me... slowly start thinking of me. Maybe that's why I make so much money. They all bring me prime prey...
"Aw, thanks doc~ Thanks to you, I'm earning~"
I can feel his delight over the phone at even this simple praise.
"Come back for more treatment sometime, doc~ You're not fully cured yet~"
Honestly, this guy's a bit of a nuisance, so I'm thinking of planting a suggestion to ditch him.
＊＊＊
The appointment patient who came on that urologist's recommendation walks in. Well-groomed, shiny azalea perm hair. A sharply tailored suit hugging a body that fills it out perfectly. And above all—
"Ha-jin-ssi?"
A face identical to Ha-jin's.
"I... I have an appointment today."
I check the chart. Name's Kim Ha-jun.
"Oh, Kim Ha-jun-ssi? Come on in~ What seems to be the problem?"
He fidgets awkwardly, his build not matching his hesitant demeanor.
"I... I can't get erections properly. Got some meds prescribed, but it's not like before... My wife doesn't seem satisfied either..."
I've done this job long enough that I can analyze people just from their looks. Tall guy... easily over 185cm. Face identical to Ha-jin's—you can tell he's a twin at a glance. Suit perfectly fitted even on his day off. Probably lived his life as an alpha male, so impotence must hit him psychologically hard.
"Could be psychological~ Lie down on this chair for now."
I like him. Haven't seen Ha-jin lately... and he seems close to him too, so—
"Um... this might be rude, but could I turn on a recorder?"
Oh. More thorough than I thought.
"Mind if I ask why?"
Most people who come here are already primed for hypnosis.
"Looked you up, and you're famous in the field... Just in case I say something weird."
Too bad. Separate suggestion's off the table...
"Aw~ Famous? What an honor. Then let's begin the treatment."
I adjust the chair for maximum comfort. Beside it, a humidifier on low and a subtle incense burning.
"I'll put this eye mask on you."
I dim the lights around us.
"Now, take deep breaths and slowly repeat my words in your mind."
"Your eyes are growing heavy."
"Your body is relaxing bit by bit, feeling at ease."
"Drowsiness is washing over you."
"Your mind is becoming hazy."
"You're falling into sleep... deep sleep..."
"You're in deep sleep."
"..."
The man's belly rises and falls rhythmically with his breaths.
"Let's begin the treatment."
"How do you feel right now?"
The man slowly parts his lips.
"My body... feels languid... and... warm..."
Issue's erectile dysfunction during sex, and his wife's dissatisfaction with it...
"Describe the sex you usually have with your wife."
"My wife... sometimes gives me head... I... lick her... pussy too... My dick's... a bit big... so to avoid hurting her... I take my time... Once she's ready... we have sex... usually... three... or four times..."
Three, four times...? Impressive stamina...
"My wife... gets really wet... so during sex... I slip out a lot... That makes her... even more lovable... and turns me on..."
I'm listening to the patient's blunt description of their sex life, impressed, when something visibly tents his pants between his thighs, straining against the fabric.
"Huh...? Didn't he say he couldn't get hard...?"
Something's off. With this level of imagination, sex shouldn't be an issue. Must be some psychological block.
"What do you think of your wife?"
Something's gotta be up with the wife...
"She's... too good for me... by far... Great body too... looks sexy from every angle... gets me excited... The stares from other guys... bother me..."
Happy couple, but suddenly it feels like bragging and burdensome...
"I... shouldn't think of my wife... that way... or have sex with her..."
After nothing but praise for his wife, something weird slips from the patient's mouth.
"Why do you think that about your wife?"
How'd he come to that conclusion...?
"..."
The patient falls silent.
"Just... my wife... shouldn't have sex..."
Hmm... Their sex descriptions didn't sound that hardcore... Anyway, found the issue—yank it out and done~
"You let go of that worry about your wife you just thought of."
Once that's gone, erections should be fine.
"You let go of that worry about your wife you just thought of."
"I... let go of the thought... that I shouldn't think of my wife... sexually... or have sex with her..."
That should do it for now, but something feels off...
"From now on, your eyes will slowly open, and your mind will return."
Treatment's over, but something nags at me.
"..."
The patient's breaths deepen, a sigh escaping.
"You'll wake from sleep when you hear my clap."
Did Ha-jin pull some trick...?
Clap!
"Ugh... Is the treatment over...?"
His crotch is still bulging. Lucky wife~ The patient notices too and hunches over slightly.
"Ah...! Sorry about that...!"
Despite his flustered look, he seems pretty pleased.
"Excuse me, do you have a twin?"
He startles.
"Pardon? Did I mention it under hypnosis?"
That pieces it together.
"Ah... Actually, Ha-jin-ssi learned hypnosis from me."
Ha-jin was totally my type when we first met.
"My little brother learned hypnosis?"
Dazed eyes, but they've lost their drive—definitely not normal like me. That's why I liked him, and since he's family, maybe I should help Ha-jin out.
"Ha-jin-ssi has real talent for it— even did some part-time work here~ If symptoms come back, ask him."
His face lights up at the praise for his brother. Deep sibling bond.
"Take care~"
"Thank you so much."
That bulge must've boosted his confidence. Time to call Ha-jin after a while.
＊＊＊
"Glrk... Gack... Gahk..♡"
Ring ring. Call from Ha-yul.
What's this woman want?
"Hello? Long time no see, noona~ What's up?"
I pick up the phone with my cock buried deep in Seo-jin-noona's throat.
"Oh, funny story—I was wondering, does Ha-jin have a twin?"
Unexpected words from an unexpected mouth.
"Huh? Yeah, my older brother. How'd you know? Did you... look into my background?"
"Nhgk... Grk..♡"
Bubbles form at Seo-jin-noona's nose.
"Ah, the brother side~ He came as a patient, face is a total copy. Reminded me of you, so I called."
How'd hyung find Ha-yul-noona...?
"So, what was wrong with hyung?"
I probe casually, concerned.
"Seemed like he couldn't get erections. Hypnotized him, and turns out he treasures his wife so much he thinks he shouldn't have sex with her."
The first suggestion I'd planted was lodged deep in hyung's head.
"So the rest is up to you."
Sly fox. She probably knows it's my suggestion.
"Hmm... You sure you want me to treat him? Not my fault if shit hits the fan later?"
Thinks she's got me in her pocket, huh...
"Oh please~ I know your skills~ Do it 'your way'~"
"Got it. Thanks for the heads-up, noona~"
I toss the phone on the sofa. Don't know how hyung found her, but it means he's desperate. Unexpected, but turns out beneficial. The second suggestion's still intact...
"Glrk..♡"
I pull my cock out of the passed-out Seo-jin-noona's throat, and she squirts lightly.
"Noona? Wake up! Noona?"
A couple slaps on the cheek, and she comes to with a light climax.
"S-sorry... I... passed out..."
Her eyes still mix pleasure and fear. Something bugs me...
"Noona, I might need you later, so let's meet more often?"
At those words, Seo-jin-noona shudders blankly.
"Y-yes..♡"
Last, gotta practice something on noona.
