Chapter 163: More Than Friends, Less Than Lovers (3)

And, on the morning of the day. A semi-basement villa.

“…….”

On the very day Sung Taekyung had promised to come to her place to resolve his sexual urges.

Han Min-ah was fidgeting and darting her eyes around nervously from the breakfast table.

Unable to stand the sight any longer, her eldest younger sister reluctantly spoke up.

“…Unnie, I get that you’re excited, but aren’t you being a little too obvious?”

“Whaaat?! Wh-what are you talking about?!”

“I know today’s the day you’re meeting Taekyung Oppa, but do you really need to flaunt it in front of us like that~.”

“Wh-what are you saying?! Wh-why are you suddenly bringing up Sung Taekyung?!”

Han Min-ah had tried her best to act natural, so her embarrassing plans wouldn’t be discovered by her younger sisters.

But her sharp-witted younger sisters had already pretty much figured out what had their older sister so giddy since yesterday.

“You, who are a workaholic, took time off work with less than a month’s notice, and you didn’t even take your heat suppressants this morning. They’re supposed to be taken on an empty stomach before meals for them to be effective.”

“And since the day before yesterday, you’ve been constantly glued to your smartphone, which you normally don’t pay much attention to. All of your actions point towards a secret rendezvous with Taekyung Oraboni, so isn’t it natural for us to be suspicious?”

“J-just eat your breakfast quickly…. It’s almost time for you two to go to school….”

Despite Han Min-ah’s obvious attempts to change the subject, Han Jin-ah and Han Seon-ah pressed her further.

“That’s great, Unnie. Now Taekyung Oppa is even helping you with your heat cycle. Isn’t this pretty much a done deal?”

“Sh-shut up…. What do you know, Jin-ah….”

“It’s the moment where your 6 years… no, almost 8 years of unrequited love finally pays off.”

“It’s n-not unrequited love! He’s just better than other mediocre guys, so I paid a little more attention to him!”

“We’ve decided to call that unrequited love.”

“I-I’m telling you, it’s not….”

It felt like things hadn’t been like this between her and her twin sisters just a month ago.

Han Min-ah, who had been working tirelessly, cutting back on her days off just to pay off the debt left by their parents and fund their education, was once a figure of admiration.

Ever since her secret rendezvous was discovered by her two younger sisters, she had been subjected to these kinds of interrogations about her relationship with Sung Taekyung.

The reason Han Min-ah couldn’t respond coldly was because she had her own reasons to feel guilty towards her sisters.

Around the time Jin-ah and Seon-ah began to manifest their animal-type awakening abilities, and like her, the unavoidable animalistic instinct known as ‘heat’ would also appear.

Han Min-ah had advised her younger sisters, persuading them to keep their distance from Sung Taekyung as much as possible.

She had witnessed firsthand how Sung Taekyung had been stressed out by all sorts of harassment and assault during their Hunter Academy days.

She worried about the possibility of her sisters being unable to control their instincts and causing trouble for him.

Furthermore, she didn’t want to see her sisters get knocked down by Kang Hye-eun’s Shield Charging.

Kang Hye-eun back then, who would beat up any woman that charged at Sung Taekyung with almost demonic eyes, was a terrifying figure even for Han Min-ah. …Of course, that didn’t mean she wasn’t scared now.

In any case, Han Min-ah’s advice back then was definitely well-intentioned, and the twin sisters understood her meaning, deliberately keeping their distance from Sung Taekyung and faithfully following her advice.

They too had developed feelings of affection and fondness for Sung Taekyung, given their position as the younger sisters of his close friend.

They had barely managed to convince themselves that it would be better to leave a good impression of themselves while distancing themselves, rather than letting their relationships sour in a bad way.

…Besides, they had also harbored a thought in the back of their minds that perhaps, if an opportunity arose after graduation, they might make one last move on him.

That’s why they had listened to their Unnie, understood her concerns, and stepped back.

To discover that their own Unnie was secretly meeting Sung Taekyung behind their backs was more than enough reason to feel betrayed.

Fortunately, thanks to Sung Taekyung’s explanation, they now knew that their Unnie hadn’t been meeting him behind their backs.

Like a thief caught red-handed, whenever Sung Taekyung came up in conversation with her sisters, Han Min-ah couldn’t strongly refute them.

“He, he’s just, really, only resolving my sexual urges…. We’re not like, boyfriend and girlfriend or anything….”

“Usually, when physical intimacy deepens, feelings tend to follow. From the moment Taekyung Oraboni offered to resolve your urges, it seems like he already had feelings for you.”

“Yeah, exactly. What kind of guy would offer to resolve the urges of a woman he doesn’t even like? Even among close friends, that’s crossing a line.”

“…B-but he already has a girlfriend besides me, and, well, it’s a bit complicated to explain to you guys….”

“…So you’re saying you have absolutely no relationship, and he’s just resolving your urges?”

Nod, nod. Han Min-ah’s head moved up and down silently.

“Okay, then that’s all we need to know.”

“O-okay, as long as you know….”

“Then, if I ask Taekyung Oppa to resolve my urges later on, you’re really saying you have no connection to him, right?”

“……What?”

Seeing the look of panic flash across Han Min-ah’s face for a moment, Han Jin-ah smiled and stood up.

“I knew it. Why pretend like it’s nothing?”

“N-no, this is just….”

“…Thanks for the meal. Good luck, Eldest Unnie.”

“N-no, you guys are misunderstanding something….”

Han Min-ah’s attempts to retort were met with the complete absence of any dignity she held as an older sister.

“Since you took time off work for this date, try to take your relationship a step further this time.”

“Yeah, yeah! If you don’t have anything suitable to wear, you can borrow my clothes!”

“Or should we pick something out for you? Knowing your fashion sense, Unnie, you’ll probably end up in another baggy t-shirt and loose pants….”

Han Min-ah quietly shook her head at her sisters, who were excitedly chattering away.

“N-no…. I don’t need clothes….”

“What are you talking about? On an occasion like this, you should wear something different from your usual style to catch his eye….”

“That’s not it…. W-we’re not going on a date, we’re meeting at home….”

“…Huh?”

“…What?”

“S-Sung Taekyung asked if we should meet outside, but I thought it might seem too serious if we met outside, so I just suggested meeting at home. That way, he wouldn’t feel as pressured, and we wouldn’t waste money renting a room….”

“…….”

“…….”

Jin-ah and Seon-ah were simultaneously speechless at their Unnie’s stinginess, even on a day like this.

“…Unnie, are you an idiot?”

“…….”

It was an irrefutable statement.

“Hooouuu….”

After sending her two younger sisters off to school, Han Min-ah finally let out a sigh of relief.

Why were they caring/fussing so much about her love life?

Han Min-ah replayed the words her twin sisters left her as they walked out the front door.

‘Well, since it’s come to this, Seon-ah and I will finish our evening self-training. This is the only way we can help you, Unnie.’

‘We’ll leave you with as much time alone as possible, so please have a wonderful time with Taekyung Oraboni, Eldest Unnie.’

There’s really no need to go that far….

The words welled up in her throat for a moment, but they never left her lips.

Because Han Min-ah herself didn’t particularly want to miss the chance to spend extended time alone with Sung Taekyung.

This meant there wouldn’t be any unwelcome guests barging in mid-intimacy like last time, disrupting everything. So, it wasn’t a bad offer for her.

The memory of the last time, when they had continued making love with his ‘thing’ still inside her long after the main event.

Recalling that, Han Min-ah’s face suddenly flushed red.

“…N-no, I should get ready first….”

Now that she had decided to invite Sung Taekyung to her place, she had to prepare for his arrival.

She couldn’t let him see the messy state of her home, so cleaning and doing the dishes were essential first steps. And given the purpose of his visit, preparations of a different nature were also necessary.

“I-I should probably take a shower beforehand…?”

It wasn’t like they were meeting outside; she was waiting for him in her own home. Therefore, some personal grooming while waiting was essential.

It was a one-room semi-basement villa where the living room and kitchen were combined.

There was only one bathroom, which also served as the toilet, attached to the main room. This meant that the moment she finished showering and stepped out, she would inevitably expose her naked body, whether she liked it or not.

This could lead to awkward situations for both of them if things got heated, so to prevent that, she decided to shower first.

She tossed her clothes into the laundry basket and immediately headed into the bathroom.

She wet her hair under the weak stream of lukewarm water,

and even though she usually just used a single bar of soap for her whole body, that day she borrowed her sisters’ shampoo and body wash and scrubbed herself meticulously.

Her hair, face, neck, armpits, breasts, groin, ankles, toes….

As Han Min-ah carefully washed every inch of her body, worried about any potential odor, her hand suddenly stopped at one spot.

“…….”

The place where her hand and the body towel paused was her buttocks.

Specifically, near the small opening nestled between the cleft of her buttocks.

The moment her hand reached that area, Han Min-ah was suddenly reminded of their last sexual encounter.

Sung Taekyung, who had suddenly inserted his finger into her anus during sex, playfully wriggled it around, stimulating a certain nerve ending inside her rectum and forcibly triggering her transformation.

The memory surfaced, and Han Min-ah’s face naturally turned red.

“……Ah, shit.”

Of course, there was shame associated with being forcibly transformed by someone else’s hand, even though it was her own body.

But the reason her face flushed was largely due to another factor.

The instinctive pleasure that had coursed through her body at that moment of involuntary transformation.

And the subsequent, far more pleasurable sex, while he stroked her transformed ears and tail.

Remembering that had caused her body to react unintentionally.

“Haaah, Sung Taekyung, that bastard is probably going to stick his fingers back there again….”

Last time, she hadn’t had the presence of mind to stop his fingers from entering her rear, and ended up letting him play with her anus like a toy until the very end.

If you asked whether she hated it, the answer would be a definite no.

“Should I tell him not to do it this time…? But it feels weird to allow it last time and then forbid it now….”

During the last encounter, she had been fasting and resting due to her heat cycle, so the fact that his fingers entered her anus didn’t lead to further humiliation.

But if, hypothetically, Sung Taekyung decided to play the same game again, she needed to prepare not just her front, but her rear as well, making sure it was as clean as possible.

“I-I’ll just prepare, just in case….”

It was purely preparation to avoid an embarrassing situation. She wasn’t expecting fingers in her rear, absolutely not.

Han Min-ah reassured herself, carefully rubbing her insides clean with her finger.

“Euus, hhh….”

Fingers, at most, were barely within the acceptable range.

They had already been inside once, so that much was fine.

However, even so….

“I-I won’t let him put his dick in….”

That was a hard no. Anal sex was far too shameful and humiliating a position for her to experience as a woman.

Allowing anal sex to a man who wasn’t even her lover? She was determined to prevent such an absurd situation.

What she would allow was strictly limited to just a finger.

It was merely preparation for that, Han Min-ah told herself over and over again.

I won’t allow his dick.

That, I will absolutely not allow…!
