Chapter 1199: Side Story – The Man Who Loves His Wife (1)

The Sky Blue Shield guild hall bustled with the moderate noise of the morning, Hunters moving about busily.

As a heavily pregnant woman entered the guild with quiet footsteps, a strange atmosphere filled the hall, and gazes seemed to drift towards her, subtly or overtly.

Kang Hye-eun.

The first Hunter affiliated with the Hope City Guild, and Sung Taekyung’s first wife.

There wasn’t a single Hunter affiliated with the Hope City Guild who didn’t know that the child in her belly was Guild Master Sung Taekyung’s. After all, the fact that Sung Taekyung was involved with all the guild members was an open secret, a rule within the guild.

Of course, the fact that she was the Guild Master’s first wife was quite important information, so the Hunters affiliated with the Hope City Guild would subtly watch their backs whenever Kang Hye-eun appeared.

‘…Wow, the guild has really grown a lot.’

Just how many new guild members had they taken in while she was resting?

The small guild of a dozen or so members was practically non-existent now. At this rate, wouldn’t the number of affiliated Hunters soon reach triple digits?

If there were no dropouts along the way, that was entirely possible. In a few months, new Hunters graduating from Hunter Training High School would often apply to join the Hope City Guild.

Kang Hye-eun’s heart started pounding whenever she thought that all the women currently in her sight were involved with Sung Taekyung. She could once again realize just how capable a male her husband was, capable enough to hold the upper hand even in relationships with other women.

‘I should just pop into the Guild Master’s office for a quick look at Taekyung’s face.’

And maybe, if Sung Taekyung got in the mood, we could do a little something naughty on the side.

Kang Hye-eun, whose body had become uncomfortable due to being in the late stages of pregnancy, found that the number of positions they could use had greatly decreased.

Even anal sex couldn’t be done in the intense positions like before; it had to be a method that felt considerate of her pregnant state.

She still enjoyed it when he used his fingers or mouth… but still, Kang Hye-eun felt it was a little lacking compared to sex where he thrust his real cock with all his might.

Because of that, she, who thirsted more often for affection and intimacy with Sung Taekyung, had sneakily visited the guild.

“…Hye-eun-ah?”

The moment Kang Hye-eun stood in front of the elevator, her gaze turned towards a familiar voice that called out from nearby.

“Jihee-ssi?”

Rough brown hair and a white gi. And a tanned fighter whose uncomfortable breasts were bound tightly with compression bandages.

Kang Hye-eun immediately read the mixed emotions of surprise, delight, and a hint of embarrassment in her eyes.

“Oh, it’s been a while.”

“It has been a while, Jihee-ssi. It must be tough being active solo these days, right?”

“…It’s just, well. It’s manageable.”

The two of them had seen each other significantly less frequently since Kang Hye-eun started taking a break from Sky Blue Shield activities after becoming pregnant.

At least when Kang Hye-eun wasn’t heavily pregnant yet, they would sometimes run into each other at the training grounds, but now that she was in the late stages of pregnancy, she focused solely on activities that wouldn’t strain her body.

If only they lived together like the other wives, there would have been more opportunities to meet, but unfortunately, Cheon Jihee wasn’t Sung Taekyung’s wife, so that wasn’t possible.

Every time he brought up the ‘pregnancy’ topic he’d proposed to Cheon Jihee multiple times, she would subtly avoid the subject and refuse.

“Are you heading to work now?”

“…Well, sort of, but….”

“……”

Even though they met after a long time, the atmosphere hadn’t changed much from before.

Eyes flickering nervously, as if desire and guilt coexisted.

Still liking her, yet fidgeting nervously, afraid of being discovered, always approaching only a little at a time.

Seeing her like that, for some reason… Kang Hye-eun felt a little excited.

‘As expected, it would be great if Cheon Jihee-ssi could also get pregnant with Taekyung’s child.’

If that happened, she could observe Cheon Jihee more closely, fidgeting nervously under the same roof while being held by her and Sung Taekyung.

A homosexual… although her tendencies were now closer to bisexual thanks to a few encounters with Sung Taekyung, Kang Hye-eun already knew that Cheon Jihee had started loving her first.

So, her having Sung Taekyung’s child was, in a way, her wish.

If her husband could conquer even her, who was a homosexual, it felt like the twisted desire in her heart would beat faster and burn even brighter.

‘Should I try seducing her myself…?’

Taekyung always refused, leading to an unavoidable answer, but would she really be able to refuse if she made the same offer?

Could Cheon Jihee really refuse the request to get pregnant with Taekyung’s child in exchange for having her in between them?

Kang Hye-eun found herself wanting to see that expression again – the one where her heart was with her, but her body was held by Taekyung, feeling him.

So much so that she momentarily forgot the original purpose of her visit to the guild today.

“Jihee-ssi, do you have a moment?”

“Uh, uh-huh! I, I have plenty of time, why…?”

“Since it’s been a while, how about we go to a cafe and chat for a bit? If your work schedule isn’t packed tight.”

“S, sure! I, I was just wanting to grab a coffee anyway.”

Although she felt a little guilty for using her feelings for her.

Still, Kang Hye-eun decided to be even more faithful to her role as Sung Taekyung’s wife.

On a quiet weekday morning, Kang Hye-eun and Cheon Jihee sat at a window seat.

The two were chatting in the Hope City Guild’s in-house cafe, a small cake placed between them. Cheon Jihee had a warm Americano, while Kang Hye-eun had caffeine-free lemonade.

Kang Hye-eun took a small bite of the tiramisu cake with her fork, then quietly met Cheon Jihee’s eyes and subtly broached the subject.

“It’s tough being active alone, isn’t it, Jihee-ssi? Do you still go into dungeons often these days?”

“…So-so.”

“Don’t push yourself too hard. I’ll be returning soon after giving birth, so don’t collapse from overexertion.”

“…I won’t overdo it, I’m fine.”

Cheon Jihee unconsciously twirled her fingers on top of her mug, seemingly trying to hide her slight impatience.

To her, Kang Hye-eun deliberately offered a gentle smile and began casting bait to smoothly transition to the main topic.

“He’s grown a lot, hasn’t he? I’m already 8 months along. These days, it feels like he moves inside my belly every single day without fail.”

“…Yeah.”

“They say it’s a boy. We’ve already decided on a name too. Kang Tae-eun, taking a syllable from Taekyung’s name and one from mine. Since it seems like I’ll have to register him as my child on the family registry, I used my surname.”

“……”

When the topic of the child came up, Cheon Jihee’s expression turned overtly uncomfortable, and she avoided eye contact.

After confirming that Sung Taekyung’s words about Cheon Jihee not seeming interested in pregnancy were true, Kang Hye-eun carefully steered the conversation towards her and her husband’s intimate life.

“Maybe because the baby is getting bigger, nights are definitely harder than before. And since it could be bad for the baby, we can’t do overly intense positions.”

“…Yeah.”

“It’s quick when he uses his fingers or mouth… but it still feels a bit different from the real thing. Right, Jihee-ssi?”

“……”

“You’ve done it with Taekyung too, so you know, right? Isn’t it the same for you, Jihee-ssi?”

“…I, I think it’s similar. Yeah.”

Kang Hye-eun smiled inwardly as she watched Cheon Jihee nod in agreement, albeit belatedly. It was a reaction that showed she would nod and empathize for her sake, even if it differed from her own experience.

“How… how do you do it when you’re pregnant?”

“It’s not much different. He uses his fingers to pleasure me, or gives me oral sex. Taekyung is so good at that, you know.”

“…Sp, specifically, how?”

“He starts with two fingers, loosening things up inside… then sometimes increases to three and gets a little rough. After that, he’ll suck on my clitoris with his mouth, or put his tongue inside….”

“……”

Seeing Cheon Jihee listening intently with a slightly flushed face, Kang Hye-eun deliberately used provocative words to explain in detail, sensing her curiosity. She was probably imagining herself receiving pleasure from Sung Taekyung. Moaning while feeling his hands on her swollen belly, or reaching climax from the stimulating movements of his tongue.

Watching Cheon Jihee holding her coffee cup, unable to even think of drinking it, Kang Hye-eun subtly revealed her true intention.

“If you’re curious, would you like to come watch sometime?”

“……Wh, what?!”

“Our relationship. You’re asking because you’re curious about how we do it when I’m pregnant, right?”

“N, no…. I, I didn’t mean it with that intention….”

“If you’re curious, I can show you. Taekyung would probably like it too? Lately, I’ve mostly just been giving him oral, so I always notice he seems a little unsatisfied…”

“……”

“If you could just help out with that part, Jihee-ssi, I’d be more than willing to show you.”

It was a request implying that she would show herself climaxing in front of Sung Taekyung, in exchange for Cheon Jihee satisfying Sung Taekyung’s sexual desires. In other words, it was essentially proposing another 3P session like the one they had before.

“…Uh, when are you free?”

For Cheon Jihee, who still liked Kang Hye-eun, there was no reason to refuse.

…Although she couldn’t grasp Kang Hye-eun’s hidden intentions behind the proposal.
