Ch.174174. In an Empty House

I got excited and said whatever came to mind, but after saying it, I realized it sounded a bit perverted. Saying I’d touch her however I wanted isn’t something you should say to a girlfriend.

“…You think I’ll just let you have your way with me?”

I was going to correct myself belatedly, but seeing Hwa Nabi’s attitude, it didn’t seem necessary. If she had obediently presented her bottom, I might have treated her gently out of guilt.

But when she acts this defiant, doesn’t it make you want to mess up that face of hers? How should I describe my current feelings? It was like a kind of sadism boiling up inside me.

“What, you can’t offer your bottom?”

“If I do, you’ll… you’ll hit me like before!”

“Hit you? What are you talking about? People will misunderstand if they hear that. I didn’t hit you, I patted you. Haven’t you heard of butt pats?”

“Why are you trying to do that to me instead of a cat?!”

“Well, because you’re cute?”

Patting someone’s bottom because they’re cute—even though I said it myself, I wondered if I was crazy. It definitely wasn’t something a normal person would think of.

At times like this, I sometimes suspect that I might be a pervert. Seeing Hwa Nabi dislike something makes me want to do it more, and I find it so amusing when she reacts with disgust to my subtle teasing. Is it just me?

“Could you stop wiggling your fingers while saying I’m cute…? You really seem like a pervert.”

“All men are perverts. Didn’t you know?”

“I’ve never met other men, so of course I wouldn’t know.”

“Then remember this: all men are perverts, so you shouldn’t get close to them.”

“When you say ‘perverts,’ you’re including yourself, right?”

I should feel bad about being called a pervert, but I don’t know why it makes me laugh. Am I really a pervert for enjoying being insulted?

As I stepped forward with a smile, Hwa Nabi hesitated. Then she pressed her lips together and watched me cautiously, looking like she might scream if I got any closer.

“Stop! Stay right there.”

“Why so serious? Relax, relax.”

“Do I look relaxed right now? You pervert!”

Judging by her red face, she really seems to dislike it. While teasing her is fun, pushing too hard might make her hate me, so I should take it easy. I raised both hands and waved them gently, gesturing that I had no intention of harming her.

“Alright. I won’t do anything. Is that better?”

“You just tried to touch my bottom, and you expect me to believe that?”

“I’m your boyfriend. Can’t you trust me?”

“No, I can’t.”

“……”

She answered immediately. It’s my own fault, but honestly, I felt a little hurt.

“Then what would make you trust me?”

Whether Hwa Nabi trusts me or not is her choice, but we can’t just stand here forever, can we? I’m standing by the door, and she’s standing by the bed. Unless she plans to escape through the window, she’ll eventually have to accept my ceasefire proposal.

Hwa Nabi seemed to realize this too, looking at me with a contemplative expression. She appears to be conflicted about whether to trust me or not.

After about five seconds of deep thought, Hwa Nabi finally spoke.

“…Will you do what I tell you to?”

“Sure, what is it? Tell me.”

As long as it’s not too strange, I’ll go along with it and end this. With that thought, I nodded. Hwa Nabi glanced at me sideways, then pointed at the door with her finger.

“First, stand facing the door.”

“You want me to turn around? Why?”

“You said you’d do what I tell you.”

Her eyes seemed to say, ‘You promised, are you going to break it?’ I don’t understand why she’s suddenly doing this, but I turned around since she asked me to.

“Happy now?”

It feels strange to stand facing a wall with someone behind me. It’s not like I’m being punished—I never even received this kind of punishment in school.

I tilted my head to the side and glanced at Hwa Nabi. She waved her hand dismissively, indicating I should face forward again.

“How long do I have to stay like this?”

“We’re not done yet.”

What else is there? I wonder what she’s planning with all this buildup. As I waited curiously, I heard her voice from a bit closer.

“Repeat after me. Got it?”

Where did a girl like her learn a phrase like “repeat after me”? I could turn around and grab her if I wanted to, but I restrained myself and nodded.

“Okay, got it. What are you going to say?”

“I absolutely, absolutely…”

“Hmm, I absolutely…”

“…will not touch my girlfriend’s bottom.”

“I will not touch my girlfriend’s bottom… pfft.”

I burst out laughing after saying it. Making me swear like this—she must have been really anxious. As I hung my head and snickered, I felt movement behind me, then something smacked my bottom.

“Why, why are you laughing? I’m being serious!”

I turned around to check Hwa Nabi’s expression. Her face was red, and she did look serious, as she claimed. That’s what made it funnier. She must have thought carefully before making me say those words.

“No, it’s nothing. Who said anything? …Ah, this is funny.”

“I can hear you even when you speak quietly! Why are you laughing when you said you wouldn’t?”

“I said I’d do what you tell me, but I never said I wouldn’t laugh.”

“Then I’ll add that too. No more laughing at me from now on!”

“Commands are limited to two, so that’s it for now.”

“What? You can’t suddenly make rules like that. You never mentioned that before.”

“Take it or leave it.”

“Fine, let’s limit it to two. Now stop laughing. No more laughing!”

I stopped laughing as Hwa Nabi demanded. Then I reached out and grabbed her waist, pulling her into my arms in one swift motion.

“Eep! W-wait a minute. You promised not to touch my bottom!”

“I’m not touching your bottom, am I?”

What I grabbed was Hwa Nabi’s waist, not her bottom. My pinky finger might be slightly touching it, but that’s only because my hands are so big. This much should be overlooked.

Caught in my arms, Hwa Nabi looked up at me with wavering eyes.

“You’ll keep your promise…?”

“It’s a promise I made with you, right? Of course I’ll keep it.”

I intend to keep my promise not to touch her bottom. Instead, I’ll touch other places. Like her waist, or stomach, or face.

There are plenty of places to touch besides her bottom. Where should I start? As I was thinking thoughts that would anger Hwa Nabi if she heard them, I slowly moved my right hand.

Slender waist, smooth abdomen. Past her fair, delicate arms and shoulders, I arrived at her cheek, flawless and clean.

I gently caressed her cheek, then whispered leisurely.

“Got you.”

“…I’m caught?”

Even her response is truly adorable. What does one have to eat to become such a lovable woman? Unable to hold back any longer, I brought my face closer.

“May I touch your lips?”

“Mmm… well, that much is…”

That means it’s okay. Before Hwa Nabi could finish her sentence, I gently pressed her lower lip with my thumb. We’ve only pressed our lips together before, so directly touching them is a first, and the sensation is surprisingly interesting. Her plump, cute lips sink in deeply, which I found adorable and smiled slightly.

“…Are you just going to touch them?”

“Why, would you like me to do something else?”

“You know what I mean… are you going to keep teasing me…?”

“I’ve always enjoyed teasing.”

“Ugh… you’re really mean sometimes.”

I wonder if she knows that the more she talks like that, the more I want to tease her. She sends me sulky glances while grumbling, but doesn’t try to run away—I wonder if she really dislikes it.

“Do you want to kiss?”

“Mmm… a little?”

“Then let me touch your bottom.”

“…You said you wouldn’t touch it.”

“That’s right, I won’t touch it until you ask me to.”

I plan to tease her until she asks for it first. I pulled her waist closer to me, held her tight, and gently fixed her bangs while looking down at her.

Normally, the next step would naturally be a kiss, but I stopped just before that and lowered my gaze. Hwa Nabi was standing slightly on her tiptoes. She knows it too—that it’s time for a kiss.

“What’s wrong?”

But I stopped. Even though I knew, I asked innocently, and Hwa Nabi’s eyes looking up at me were filled with disappointment. I felt a strange sense of victory as things were going according to plan.

“…Aren’t you going to continue?”

With her arms now around my waist, she asked me with moist eyes. Her gaze was so desperate, so wanting of me, that my resolve almost wavered for a moment.

I need to be careful not to let my guard down. I composed myself and touched her bangs. After neatly arranging her slightly disheveled bangs, I moved my hand to stroke the back of her head.

‘If you give me permission.’

‘Are you really going to be like this…?’

‘Yes. I am.’

‘…Fine, go ahead. Touch me.’

Our conversation ended with just our eyes. Indeed, it’s the sun, not the north wind, that makes the traveler remove his coat. There’s truth in that old saying. Having gotten what I wanted, I quietly smiled. All transactions are give and take—now it’s my turn to give Hwa Nabi what she wants.

I kneaded her bottom, which was prominent under her short skirt and looked almost plump, with my palm. Hwa Nabi made a strange nasal sound as if my fingers tickled her, then stood on her tiptoes and kissed me.

“Mmm… hmm, haah…”

“Feel good?”

“Yes, it feels good…”

After embracing each other and kissing deeply, we both pulled away at the same moment. Hwa Nabi’s eyes were unfocused.

Looking at me with dreamy eyes, she murmured in an incredibly lovable voice.

“Um… Siwoo.”

“Yes?”

“…Would you pat my bottom?”
