Chapter 1: A dream? No, even if it is a dream, this is a bit much

“Ugh…”
“Ugh…”
“Ugh…”

Bussusu–

Is it because I couldn’t sleep? My body feels unusually heavy.

“…”

As soon as I woke up, I looked around for anything strange. I checked the mattress thoroughly, feeling for any damp spots.

“…Phew, phew…”

Thankfully, it was just a dream. But it felt so real, more real than my body actually changing.

“…That woman…”

A nine-tailed fox. No, just a fox spirit. I don’t even want to think about it. It’s terrifying.

“…Hic…”

Just the thought makes me hiccup. I felt like I was being held down, unable to move. No, I don’t know. Just stop.

“…”

I need to get to school. I didn’t wake up early anyway, and I’m not in the right headspace. Clearing my head at school might be the best thing for now.

“I’m leaving…”
“You look pale. Take care of yourself and call if you feel worse.”

I rushed out of the house, the dream’s images clinging to my mind.

“…Heu…”

Just thinking about it makes my body flush. Such an intense touch. The feeling of someone else controlling my deepest self. The feeling of being conquered.

The woman in my dream lay beside me like a cat, in the form of a fox. At first, I thought it was a cute dream and petted her. But then the air grew cold, and when our eyes met, her body shifted, transforming into a human.

“…Ugh, ugh…”

And then… I… My body… Ah, I hate it. Stop.

“…”

It was too stimulating. Was I subconsciously desiring that? Well, it’s not like I can’t experience climax and penetration just because I’m in a woman’s body now. It’s just that who’s on the giving and receiving end has changed… Wait, I don’t like that.

Thump, thump

“Semin!”
“Huh?”

Lost in thought, face flushed, I heard Hyeji’s voice behind me.

“Hyeji?”
“What’s with your face? Do you have a fever?”

Hyeji immediately touched my forehead, checking my temperature.

“Oh, no… It’s just…”
“You don’t look so good… Are you sure you’re okay? Just in case, want to walk together?”

She linked arms with me.

“Uh, y-yeah… Th-thanks…”
“Heehee~”

She’s… big. Since when did Hyeji feel so tall? I remember her being around my height, 170cm. This is strange.

Damn it, the dream keeps replaying in my head. My ears are burning.

“…You’re really warm. Are you sure you’re okay?”
“Y-yeah… I just… I think I overdid it yesterday…”

I probably had that dream because I haven’t been getting much rest lately. That’s the most likely explanation. I mean, even yesterday, after I transformed, I skipped school but still went to work.

“…”

For the sake of my sanity, I really don’t want to have dreams like that again. What should I do?

“Hey, Hyeji.”
“Yeah?”

Maybe Hyeji would know.

“I’ve been feeling weird lately… Is there anything I can do about it?”

I nudged Hyeji slightly, trying to create some distance as she clung to my arm. I hinted at my problem, but…

“…You don’t have any underwear, do you?”
“Huh?”

Hyeji stared intently at me.

“That’s it! You transformed yesterday, so you don’t have any women’s underwear! That’s probably why you’re feeling weird. Your body changed, so nothing fits right!”
“I-is that… it…?”

For some reason, I found myself convinced.

“After school, let’s hit the department store!”
“D-department store…?”

The word “department store” snapped me back to reality. I shook my head.

“I have work… I can’t this week…”
“Awww… Too bad.”

Leaving Hyeji looking disappointed, we arrived at school.

“I wonder how everyone will react~ Yesterday was crazy. You’re the first case in our school!”
“F-first?”

I hesitated, imagining everyone’s reaction, but…

Slide

“Guys~! Semin’s here~!”
“Really?!”
“You came? You’re really here today?!”
“OMG, is that you, Semin?!”

Hyeji, being stronger, dragged me into the classroom, where I became the center of attention.

“Y-yes… It’s me…”
“Whoa~! Your voice completely changed! That’s crazy!”
“I wish I could transform too~”
“Isn’t it supposed to be non-contagious?”

I’d never received this much attention in my life. I felt dizzy.

“See? Isn’t it amazing?!”
“H-Hyeji…”

The dizziness intensified, and then…

Thud

“S-Semin?”
“Semin?”
“Semin!”

I woke up in the nurse’s office.

“You slept well. Must be hard adjusting to your new body.”
“Oh… Nurse…”

The nurse checked my forehead.

“Lunch break is almost over. Your three friends just left. Can you find them? Or you can rest more.”
“Already…?”

I realized again how little sleep I’d gotten.

“…”

This dream situation needed a solution, and fast. I thanked the nurse and left.

Tap, tap

“S-Semin, I’m sorry… I startled you this morning…”
“Oh? Uh, no… It’s okay…”

A classmate I barely knew apologized. I just nodded and hurried off to find my friends.

“H-Hyeji…!”
“You’re awake?! Are you okay?! I-I’m sorry… I dragged you in there…”

I found them at our usual spot, the cafeteria bench.

“I-I’m okay…”
“…It really is Semin.”
“OMG, OMG, can I touch you? Hug you? This is insane!”

Yura, with her long, neat hair, greeted me softly. Taeyeon, ever the energetic tomboy, was more boisterous.

“You’re already hugging me… Stop it…”
“Whoa… You’re so tiny! What are you, a doll?”
“…So soft?”
“Guys, stop! She’ll faint again…!”

We were reunited. I’d been worried things would be awkward, but thanks to Hyeji, and this whole situation, we were closer than ever. I felt relieved.

“So can you take a break today? Seriously, we’re all free~”
“Ugh…”
“Dude, your cheeks are so squishy!”
“…I want to touch them too.”

Hyeji continued to persuade me, but…

“J-just this month… N-next week is next month, so let’s go then…”

I couldn’t give up my wages. I held firm.

“Aw, that’s so mean! We’re being so nice, and you won’t even go shopping with us?”
“Yeah, you little…! We’re being so nice~!”
“Oww!”

Taeyeon pinched my cheeks, making them bright red.

“Oww… That hurts…”
“…But you’re cute, so it’s okay.”

Yura, with her usual calm demeanor, gave a quiet thumbs-up.

“L-let’s go back… Lunch is almost over…”
“Right.”

I urged them back to class as lunch break ended.

Click, click

“Can I hug you again?”
“No.”

Taeyeon was like a wolf, constantly eyeing me like prey. Maybe skipping school would have been a better idea. This is kind of scary too, in its own way.

“You really won’t go?”
“No, sorry.”

The chaotic but heartwarming school day flew by. As we parted ways, the girls asked again.

“You seriously have no free days?”
“I-I’m fully booked this week… Sorry…”

I could have taken a day off. My paycheck would have been fine. But… I had this feeling, a creepy feeling, that I shouldn’t.

“…”

I’ve felt this way before… Why can’t I remember when?

“Okay, don’t worry about it! We can go later~ See ya!”
“Bye, puppy!”
“…Bye.”

“See you tomorrow!”

Whatever. Just spending time with my friends was enough. Like Hyeji said, we could go next week. I just needed to focus on work and not mess up.

Tap, tap

On my way to the subway…

“…Hmm?”

Jingle

I saw a tarot card reader.

“…”

A tiny, run-down shop on the side of the road. Creepy.

“…5,000 won…”

Normally, I would have walked by. But today, I couldn’t. Was it my grandmother’s words that came to mind? She always linked dreams to the spiritual world.

I miss her. We used to talk about ghosts and spirits when I was little. She was good at fortune-telling, too.

“…Hmm…”

I had some spare cash. 5,000 won wouldn’t hurt. It was a small price to pay to get rid of that… that disturbing dream.

Jingle

“Hello…”

I had some time before work, so I stepped inside.

“Hehehe… Another child with a strange aura has arrived.”
“Huh?”

Either she was gifted, or she could smell that I hadn’t showered since yesterday. The shaman closed her eyes as I sat down.

“My, my… Something strange has attached itself to you!”
“Really…?”

She suddenly jumped up, grabbed my hands, and exclaimed,

“This… This is strange! You have that rare illness, don’t you? And you walked down 35th Street in Dongui-ro!”
“Yes, yes…”

She rattled off details that sent chills down my spine.

“Why didn’t you come sooner?! There’s a vixen with peculiar tastes living there… I warned her just the other day to leave people alone! And now she’s latched onto you!”
“Is… is that so…?”

Hard to believe, but she wasn’t wrong. I was about to ask how to get rid of the fox, but…

“An evil spirit! She’s an evil spirit… Yes, an evil spirit!”
“An evil spirit…? Then how do I…”

The shaman continued,

“It’s not difficult to remove her, but…”
“But…?”

She said something ominous.

“I said she’s strange, right? She’s not just any evil spirit…”
“Then what is she…?”

I wanted to know more about this fox spirit.

“If you do it right, she’ll become your guardian spirit. Believe it or not, she can be quite beneficial.”
“R-really…?”

That piqued my interest, but her next words made me frown.

“But if you make one wrong move, she’ll become a truly malicious spirit that will torment you for the rest of your life! She’s a fox; she’s fickle…”
“How… how do I get rid of her?”

I asked for the solution.

“Carry this talisman with you. Use it when she appears. I’ll give it to you for free. I’ve seen too many kids suffer because of her.”
“Were there… many?”

The shaman handed me a strange-looking talisman and started talking about the victims.

“Not many, but their stories were tragic… They all came to me for advice… and they all ended up drained of their life force and died.”
“…What…?”

That was even more terrifying.

“But don’t worry. They were all a bit… off. The fox wasn’t truly interested in them. Probably just playing around.”
“I… I see… Am I… off…?”

I tried to grasp at any hope of survival.

“That’s up to you~ If you treat this old lady right, I’ll pray for your success. I have a soft spot for that vixen, you see…”

The shaman lowered her voice, almost whispering,

“…She has her own story, after all…”

“Huh?”

She then told me my 5,000 won worth of fortune-telling was over and to pay more if I wanted more.

“I-I’ll go… Thank you… for the talisman…!”

I bolted out of the shop and headed to work.

“…With this…”

At least I had a way to deal with the dream. I’d use it tonight. I made up my mind and started my shift.

 

“Order up!”
“Coming!”

It was a small udon restaurant. The job was related to my major, easy, and paid well.

Plus, free food. I could cook anything I wanted with the ingredients during downtime. They even encouraged it. Truly angels.

“Haa… I’m done…”

I finished my shift without any mistakes, despite the busy evening. Walking home, I carefully took out the talisman and caressed it.

“…With this…”

I felt a pang of sympathy for the fox spirit I was about to say goodbye to. I smiled and continued home.

 

“Welcome back.”
“I’m home~”

I took my usual comforting shower and, ready for the final showdown, lay down in bed.

“…”

Nothing happened.

“…Hmm…”

Last night, she appeared as soon as I lay down.

“…”

Strange. Was it the talisman?

“…Maybe I’m not sleepy enough…?”

Was I too nervous about our confrontation? Or just not tired?

“…Ugh…”

The talisman would be useless if she didn’t show up.

“…”

I closed my eyes, took deep breaths, and tried to calm my racing heart.

Rustle

“…”

I felt it.

“…”

Tails. Two fluffy tails.

“…”

I opened my eyes.

Slide

“…Hehehe…”

The tails were now swishing between my legs. Our eyes met.

“Hehehe… You’re so pretty… Handsome…”
“…Ugh…”

Damn, she’s beautiful. Sh*t. I can’t reach for the talisman. Damn it.

“Can I… Haa… Can I do it again today? Hehehe…”
“Mm…”

She’s aggressive, rubbing against me, licking my cheek, wiggling her hips. And it’s not just her face. Her body is insanely voluptuous. My male instincts are awakening.

Help.

“Ahh, you react so well… You’re so lovely… What should I do? Haa, hehehe… Chuwp, chuuwp…”
“…Mmmph…!”

I debated internally for what felt like an eternity, whether to use the talisman or not. The fox spirit, seeing my hesitation, took it as a yes and pressed her lips against mine, forcing her tongue inside.

“Hmph… Mmmph…!”

I couldn’t breathe. Her tongue explored my mouth, tracing my teeth, caressing the roof of my mouth as if memorizing its shape. Saliva dribbled down our chins, but she didn’t stop, her hunger insatiable.

“Chuuurp, chuurp… Haah… Chuwp, chuwp…”
“Mmmph…! Gasp…! Hngh…”

My mind clouded. I lost my grip on the talisman hidden in my pajamas, and she pinned my wrists down.

“Haah… What are you hiding in there…? It smells bad… Is it that old woman? Mm… I don’t like it… Don’t listen to her… I like Semin so much… I love you… I like you, I like you, I like you… So…”
“Eek…!”

She easily pulled down my pajama pants.

“I’ll do anything… I like Semin… I like you… I love you, I love you, I like you… Hehehe… Let’s stay together forever… Just like this… You’re so pretty… So cute…”
“I-I’m scared…!”

As tears welled up, and I whimpered, she only intensified her actions.

“Mm… No, no, no… It’s okay… It doesn’t hurt… I’m loving you… I love you… Do you love me? Love me, like me! So…”

Slide

She gently caressed my exposed lower body, igniting a fire within me.

“Eek…!”
“It’s okay, it’s okay… I love you… Love me? Like me, like me… I like you, Semin… I like you…”

She completely toyed with me.

“Mmmph… Hngh… gasp…”
“…Haa… Haa… Hehehe…”

She kissed me deeply, almost suffocating me, while her hands moved over my body, as if trying to break my back. The difference in our size was overwhelming. Her voluptuous figure made her seem even larger than Hyeji. She was heavy. Terrifying.

But… Strange… Do I like it? A strange, unwelcome pleasure bloomed deep within me. I hate this. I hate this feeling. I don’t want this. Being violated like this…

“Gasp… Hngh…”

My head is spinning. Someone, please save me.

I can’t breathe. My back… My back won’t stop moving. It won’t stop. Aphrodisiac? I think I understand what it feels like to be drugged. Please, someone stop her.

Tear

“Gasp… Haa… Hngh…”

Finally, after my back arched one last time, she stopped.

“Haah… You’re so soft…”
“Haa…”

She nuzzled against me, her ears twitching, and whispered,

“…I saw you with other humans… I don’t like that… Let’s be closer… Okay…? I like Semin so much… I really do… You’re the best… I’d give you all the offerings I’ve ever received… Just be closer to me… Even if it’s just at night like this… I just like Semin… I like you, I like you!”
