Booze, Broken Memories

“Ugh…”

A splitting headache.

A stiff body.

My throat was burning as if it were on fire, and I felt a terrible thirst.

Did I sleep wrong or something?

I, who had been sitting blankly after getting up, belatedly began to check my condition.

Arms and legs with fair skin exposed.

Was that all? There were red marks all over the inside of my thighs.

I reached out and carefully caressed the marks.

The touch that went up from the outside of my thigh to the inside continued to my stomach.

“Ah…”

A light sigh escaped my lips.

Only then could I recall what happened last night.

Endless moans flowing from my lips.

My body being shaken back and forth while pinned underneath.

My memories became clearer, and my whole face flushed with heat.

“Heu-eut…”

I put my hand on my cheek and it was burning.

I blinked and looked next to the bed.

Sohee, covered with a soft blanket.

She was fast asleep with a very comfortable smile on her face.

For some reason, that appearance seemed a bit annoying.

I reached out to pinch her cheek, but sighed and got out of bed.

Clothes scattered on the floor.

Especially the underwear, it was as if it had been taken off in such a hurry that it was thrown far away from the bed.

I went to the corner and carefully picked up the fallen underwear and put it on.

“Ugh…”

The pain I felt every time I moved was considerable.

It was inevitable, considering how much I had shaken my body during the early hours of the morning.

My whole body’s muscles were screaming.

Especially my lower back.

I touched my lower back and headed to the full-length mirror hanging on one side of the room.

The way I looked was very sexy.

My cheeks were flushed red, and my eyes were tired.

My black hair was disheveled, and the hickeys that started from my neck covered my entire body.

My chest…

I caressed my chest, feeling a throbbing pain.

Judging by the slightly swollen tips, Sohee must have sucked and kissed them even while I was passed out.

It was an appearance that anyone could guess the hot time I had spent last night.

I turned my head to check the time.

11 AM.

Quite late.

I told Mom and Harang that I would be back at night…

I shook my head and approached the bed.

Because my cell phone was on the small table next to the bed.

I sat on the bed and tapped the screen of my cell phone.

I checked my messages just in case.

But it was empty.

Weren’t Mom and Harang worried about me?

As I was tilting my head like that, I heard a rustling sound from behind me.

It seemed that Sohee had woken up.

I smiled awkwardly and turned my head.

Slightly unfocused eyes.

A blankly opened mouth.

Hair and blanket flowing down.

There were red fingernail marks on her slightly exposed back.

“Did you sleep well…?”

A deeply sunken voice flew towards me.

A smile that felt both satisfaction and happiness at the same time.

“Yeah…”

I nodded slightly and shook my legs back and forth, which didn’t reach the floor.

An awkward atmosphere, an awkward silence, but maybe this was just awkwardness I was feeling.

Sohee was always smiling at me as usual.

But I couldn’t look Sohee in the eye properly.

Because when I looked at her face, the memories of last dawn came back even more vividly.

I was quite embarrassed by the sight of me, pinned down by her large body, shaking back and forth, reaching out for pleasure.

“What were you doing?”

Sohee, who came next to me, asked carefully.

Her gaze was directed at the screen of the cell phone I was holding.

I put my cell phone on the table next to the bed and answered.

“Oh, I was checking if Mom sent me a text.”

“From your mom?”

“Yeah… I told her I’d be back last night.”

“It’ll be okay.”

“I-It’ll be okay?”

“Yeah.”

Sohee said that and reached out her hand.

Her natural and soft touch wrapped around my neck and pulled me in.

Of course, I was pulled into Sohee’s arms.

Warmth was transmitted beyond the touching skin.

“Hmm…”

Sohee let out a pleasant and languid sigh.

She reached out with her left hand and stroked the marks left on my thigh.

The fingers that started to go up along the marks stopped near my neck.

“Was it painful…?”

“N-No, it wasn’t painful…”

It wasn’t painful at the time.

It’s just painful now.

I touched my lower back and leaned more comfortably into Sohee’s arms.

A languid atmosphere.

The relationship that has naturally changed feels burdensome yet comfortable.

Sohee and I spent time in this position without saying a word.

Occasionally, Sohee would reach out and caress my body as if reconfirming the marks left on it.

How much time had passed?

Just as my eyes were slowly closing due to the softness and warmth felt from behind.

A cold metal touch fell on my neck.

I blinked my blurry vision and looked down near my neck.

A long silver chain.

It doesn’t feel burdensome because it doesn’t look expensive.

“This is…?”

“It’s a gift.”

A necklace as a gift?

I caressed the silver necklace that Sohee gave me.

The texture is okay. It’s soft yet hard, so it doesn’t seem to be ordinary steel.

And I like the rough appearance as well.

I stroked the silver plate at the end of the necklace with my finger.

The alphabet written in a stylish font.

[LSH]

“Do you like it?”

It’s a necklace engraved with Sohee’s initials.

I tilted my head at Sohee’s question.

If it was a gift for me, it should have my name’s initials engraved on it…

I fiddled with the necklace and nodded.

“I do like it… but why is Sohee’s initials engraved on it?”

“Because it’s mine.”

I blankly opened my mouth at Sohee’s words.

I belatedly understood the meaning of her words.

So.

Is she giving me this necklace because I’m hers?

To show others that I’m her possession?

“Hayun is mine now.”

Something.

Something feels strange.

My heart is pounding and my toes are curling up.

As I was wiggling my cute little feet, I heard laughter from behind me.

“Do you like it?”

“Um…”

It’s not exactly wrong.

I lowered my head and held the necklace in my hand.

The strong possessiveness I feel from Sohee.

The object of that feeling is me.

It’s not a bad feeling.

“T-Then, is Sohee mine too…?”

“Yeah.”

An answer that came without a moment’s hesitation.

The pounding of my heart gets even louder.

The moment my vision started to turn white, a white pain consumed my head.

Immediately after, I started to hear Sohee’s soft breathing.

I could feel everything about Sohee between my sharpened senses.

Our eyes met.

Sohee looked down at me and smiled softly.

At that moment, Sohee’s breathing began to change.

Her soft breath became rough.

Her heartbeat, which had been quiet and steady, also began to quicken.

The sound of blood vessels felt through the touching skin was the same.

At that moment, the scent emanating from Sohee became slightly stronger.

“Let’s do it again.”

“W-Wait a second…!”

There’s no time to react.

My body suddenly floated up.

Immediately after, I was dragged into the blanket by Sohee’s hand.

***

Current time is 2 PM.

I’m not hungry because I solved lunch with hotel room service.

“Ugh…”

“Can you walk…?”

“…”

I replaced my answer with a sigh.

She crushed me mercilessly with that big body, so there’s no way my body would be normal.

It was so hard to even walk.

“I feel like my body is going to break…”

“Sorry… Should I hug you…?”

“No. I’m going to walk on my own.”

I stubbornly hobbled out of the hotel.

The pain in my body was so severe that sweat was flowing down my forehead.

I stopped at the hotel entrance and looked up at the sky.

A terribly blue sky.

I blankly opened my mouth at the clear appearance without a single cloud.

I’m sure I saw this sky on graduation day too.

I ended up staying out overnight unintentionally.

How should I explain this to Mom?

I fell asleep while drinking?

I slept at Sohee’s house?

I sighed and tightened my collar.

I guess I’ll have to wear clothes that don’t expose my skin for a while.

On the way home.

Inside the sports car that Sohee drove.

I naturally sat on Sohee’s lap.

Thanks to autonomous driving, the car continued to drive very safely even without Sohee driving directly.

I stared out the window and let time pass blankly for a long time.

I carefully opened my mouth.

“Sohee-ya.”

“Yeah?”

“O-Our one-day anniversary is today, right…?”

I left those words and lowered my head.

I confirmed each other’s feelings at the hotel. And the two hearts collided.

As the warm and soft memory came back to me, my face flushed with heat.

“Hayun-ah.”

“U-Ung?”

“Let’s do it again.”

“H-Here?”

I lifted my head sharply at Sohee’s question.

Is this bitch out of her mind? Even so, how can she do that again in a moving car?

And my body is already at its limit. If I do any more than this, both physically and mentally, I’ll definitely break down.

But Sohee smiled brightly and hugged my stomach.

A familiar touch stroking my lower abdomen.

My body naturally began to tense up, and my heart beat faster as if anticipating what would happen next.

“It’s safe, so it’s okay.”

“H-Heuaek…”

Sohee’s hand, which had been stroking my stomach, naturally dug into my clothes.

***

“Go in carefully. I really had fun today…”

“…”

Shaky legs.

A body heated up hotly.

Sohee’s smiling face comes into view beyond my blurry vision.

A beastly bitch…

Sohee, who dropped me off in front of my house, left those words and left.

Left alone, I leaned against a nearby fence and waited for my body to cool down.

Who- Who- Who-

The white breath flowing from my mouth scatters into the sky.

I took a breath like that for a long time.

Only then did I take my feet and head home.

The distance to the front door is less than 30 steps.

But why does it seem so far away?

As a result of moving my shaky legs diligently, I was able to safely enter the house.

As soon as I opened the door, a warm breeze blew in.

The familiar smell of the house.

As the tension in my body began to ease, I sat down on the floor as it was.

There’s no time to be doing this here.

I had to quickly go to my room before that Harang bastard came out.

I need to go quickly, change my clothes, and put my damp underwear in the washing machine so I don’t get caught.

I crawled on the floor towards my room.

“Heuaek…”
