60 – Reunion (5)

“Should I just die?”

Hayoon mumbled blankly, her head buried in the sofa.

She still felt floaty and dizzy from the alcohol, but she wasn’t quite as incapable of thinking as she had been earlier. However, her mood plummeted rapidly, and gloomy thoughts swirled around her.

But it couldn’t be helped. She remembered the disgraceful behavior she had displayed while drunk. Wiggling her chest and butt while imitating a rabbit, or crawling around the chairman’s office on all fours with Han Seol-ah on her back.

In her memory, she was struggling but still giggling. She didn’t know what was so funny, but people were laughing at the sight. She didn’t remember everything, but even just those two things were enough to make her want to die.

After a long time of burying her head in the sofa and feeling depressed, she felt the pain of a sharp slap on her butt. Normally, she would have screamed and shed a few tears, but now, although it hurt, she was more annoyed.

“Why did you hit… me?”

“Wow, look how cold you’ve become now that the drug’s worn off.”

Han Seol-ah covered her mouth with her hand as if surprised, and widened her eyes. But Hayoon knew that she wasn’t really surprised, but rather teasing her, so she sighed and sat up.

“Ugh…”

Her head felt like it was about to break. Come to think of it, wasn’t wine supposed to give you a bad hangover?

She clutched her head and groaned for a while, then suddenly remembered what Han Seol-ah had said earlier.

Hayoon questioned Han Seol-ah, doubting her own ears.

“Drug…?”

“Why are you acting so surprised all of a sudden? You’ve been a teacher here, so you know people use drugs, right?”

She did know. It was the teacher’s job to collect the trainees who were sprawled out after the party. Some of them were staggering around, high on drugs.

But knowing what those who had taken drugs looked like for a while, Hayoon frantically groped her arms, looking for any traces. But she couldn’t see any injection marks anywhere.

At the sight, Han Seol-ah chuckled and said.

“Don’t worry, we haven’t used anything like that yet. What we used was very light and popular.”

She couldn’t understand how a drug could be popular, but seeing that she was still in her right mind, it didn’t seem like a lie. If she had been given something really strong, she wouldn’t have been able to come to her senses and would have been spouting nonsense.

As Hayoon looked at her with fearful eyes, Han Seol-ah giggled and took out a cigarette. But instead of the few cigarettes left in the pack in her memory, it was a full pack of twenty, as if she had bought a new one.

Looking at her with questioning eyes, Han Seol-ah put one in her mouth and said.

“This is just a cigarette. I heard you used to smoke them often, so I was curious and bought one.”

Then, she lit it, took a deep drag, and exhaled. Han Seol-ah smiled and said to Hayoon.

“So this is what it tastes like. It’s not really my thing.”

Sss- Hooo. The exhaled smoke was blown towards Hayoon’s face.

Her eyes stung and a musty smell entered her nasal passages, but somehow, her gloomy mood seemed to dissipate a little. Was it because it was something familiar? It was an inexplicable thing.

“Here, take it.”

“Yes?”

As she was thinking that, a pack of cigarettes came flying at her. A nearly new pack of cigarettes with nineteen left. She couldn’t understand why she was giving it to her, and as she looked at her, Han Seol-ah laughed as if she had belatedly realized her mistake.

“I forgot to give you a lighter. Take this too.”

“…I don’t know why you’re giving me these.”

“It’s a gift. Once this gathering is over, we’ll be designating you next month.”

As Hayoon asked, taking the lighter that had been thrown at her in succession, Han Seol-ah said, stubbing out her cigarette in the ashtray.

“It’s an order. Leave at least three cigarettes when we meet next time.”

“…Why three in particular?”

“Because the master and I have to smoke them together when we meet again, right? Oh, and you can smoke one now if you want. It’s break time now.”

Break time? At those words, Hayoon looked around. Somehow, she couldn’t hear the classical music that had been playing, and the hall seemed a little dark. She could only see a few people.

And listening to the subtle groans that were coming from around the room… she could understand what kind of situation it was.

Then how much time has passed? Hayoon asked with a questioning face.

“How much time has passed?”

“I don’t know, has it been about five hours? It’s against the rules of this gathering to bring clocks into the hall, so I don’t really know.”

“F-Five hours?”

Hayoon stuttered at the unexpectedly long time that had passed. The flow of time she remembered was only about an hour, but she was surprised to hear that it had been several times that.

As Hayoon was surprised, Han Seol-ah laughed and asked, as if she had suddenly remembered something.

“So who’s Seon-ah?”

“W-Who?”

“Kim Seon-ah. You were crying and calling out ‘Seon-ah, Seon-ah’?”

At those words, Hayoon’s face turned bright red.

‘I was crying? And looking for Kim Seon-ah?’

It was absurd. Of course, she had been relying on Kim Seon-ah recently, and had received a lot of help, but she wasn’t so deeply immersed in her that she would cry and look for her.

…Probably. She was high on drugs and couldn’t remember, so she couldn’t be sure. Besides, it was true that she had become emotional in many ways since becoming a patient, so Han Seol-ah’s words had some credibility.

However, Hayoon shook her head, trying to deny it.

“…That can’t be.”

“I’m not trying to tease you, I’m telling you that’s what really happened? So who is Kim Seon-ah? Huh?”

“Kim Seon-ah is just… a fellow trainee who entered the academy with me.”

“If you entered the academy together, you must be close. I was also very close to the person who entered with me. So did you do it with her?”

“…Excuse me?”

Hayoon replied in a dazed voice to the sudden question. But Han Seol-ah didn’t miss a beat and continued to speak.

“Seeing that reaction, I guess you haven’t done it yet. Well, it’s only been about a week, so I guess it’s not that far yet?”

“No, no… why are you making such assumptions…?”

“…? You were a teacher, so you know. Trainees having sex.”

Well, she knew. On the surface, it looked like homosexuality, but they were once men.

There were beautiful women everywhere that would make your jaw drop, so even if they had become such bodies, it was only natural that their sexual desires would boil over.

But she couldn’t understand why that led to the conclusion that she and Kim Seon-ah had sex. As Hayoon was gaping, Han Seol-ah said as if she understood.

“Come to think of it, you weren’t really a teacher, but rather a guy who only lusted after the trainees’ bodies, right? Then you wouldn’t know.”

“Wh-What?”

“About the trainees having sex. They usually do it with the trainees who entered the academy with them. Of course, there are cases where they don’t do it with their classmates, but they usually do.”

“I-Is that so…”

It wasn’t a fact she particularly wanted to know. Hayoon replied with a sullen expression, and Han Seol-ah asked again.

“So you really haven’t done it?”

“Of course…”

She had to say of course, but she couldn’t get the words out. It was because there was a memory that came to mind the moment she spoke. Hayoon hesitated at the sight of Kim Seon-ah hugging her from behind and helping her masturbate.

‘Should that be considered sex?’

No. If it was sex, they had to overlap their bodies, but she had only been unilaterally subjected to it.

But maybe sex between women is a little different? As she was pondering for a moment, Han Seol-ah chuckled and said.

“There’s something bothering you, but you’re not sure?”

“Th-That’s not it…”

“Think simply. Did you rub against each other? Or just hand stuff?”

“…Hand stuff.”

“Then you didn’t have sex. You just had a little deep skinship.”

“Is that so?”

As Han Seol-ah came to a clear conclusion, Hayoon, who had been unsure, also tilted her head. Come to think of it, Jin Si-won had only ever said things like, “Wanna rub?”, so it wouldn’t be wrong.

As she was thinking that, Han Seol-ah, who had already approached, put her arm around her shoulder and brought her face closer.

“That means Hayoon hasn’t had sex with any woman yet?”

“…If you put it that way, yes.”

Feeling a strange sense of foreboding, she answered cautiously, and Han Seol-ah smiled and said.

“Then I’ll be Hayoon’s first. Please take care of me?”

“First, what do you mean by that…”

“How innocent. Did you think you were going to come all the way here and just chat?”

The touch that stroked her collarbone was erotic. Hayoon trembled slightly at the touch that brushed against her neck and rose up, and muttered.

“That’s… not it, but…”

“The party isn’t over yet. It’s just starting now.”

The elegant party where they laughed and talked while listening to classical music was over.

But the night was still long. The public service of entertaining VIPs was just beginning in the evening.

“Look this way.”

Hayoon was unable to resist the hand that grabbed her chin and turned her around, and was led away. Han Seol-ah looked at her eyes, which were like cherry blossoms in full bloom, and wiped her eyes with her other hand.

‘She’s really pretty.’

When she first met her, she had said that she would pluck out her eyeballs to scare her, but looking at these eyes, she was really worried about asking Woo Shin-hyung to pluck them out.

Of course, if she really plucked them out, they wouldn’t look like this now.

Should I stop plucking them out after all? Han Seol-ah thought so and brought her face closer.

“Hic.”

Hayoon squeezed her eyes shut at the suddenly approaching face.

Han Seol-ah didn’t care about her terrified appearance and kissed her eyes. She rubbed her lips over her tightly closed eyelids, then left her mark on her sharp nose.

And her cheeks, chin, and neck… Hayoon’s body trembled slightly as her lips slowly went down. But Han Seol-ah had no intention of doing anything big in a place like this.

Han Seol-ah, who kissed her cheek again, looked at Hayoon with eyes that glistened with greed. She was so cute, trembling like a rabbit cornered, unable to open her eyes.

She wanted to kidnap her and make her a slave who only looked at her… But Han Seol-ah was also someone’s property, so she couldn’t do that.

“Were you already doing it?”

“Ah, Master!”

Han Seol-ah stopped kissing when Woo Shin-hyung came back. Only then did the lips that had been pressing down on her face disappear, and Hayoon carefully opened her eyes and secretly sighed.

But it was too early to rest assured. She could see the silhouette that was bulging tautly over his pants. Woo Shin-hyung said, not caring about Hayoon’s darkening face.

“A room has been prepared, so shall we move on?”

“I’d love to! Hayoon too, right?”

“…Of course.”

Hayoon forced a smile and replied.
