Chapter 21: Childhood Friend Experiment Period (1)

In this world, housework was mostly the role of men.

This world might be one where the status and roles of men and women are reversed, which is one reason, but even just looking at it realistically, it seemed more natural for men to do housework.

To begin with, if it’s a couple form of a female Hunter and a man, it’s naturally right for the man to be the househusband. The woman risks her life defeating monsters several times a week to earn money, so it was an unreasonable claim that the man would neglect his duty of housework.

And even if not Hunters, awakened abilities existed in this world, so fundamentally, women were stronger than men. It was to the extent that the only period a man could be physically stronger than a woman was before women’s Hunter awakenings.

Just because one had awakened abilities didn’t mean they all entered dungeons, and there were abilities for which doing other work instead was better than entering dungeons. In fact, considering factors like efficiency and safety, there were quite a few people who were qualified but didn’t enter dungeons.

Women like Kang Hye-eun, who manifested awakened abilities related to stamina or muscle strength, worked in fields like construction labor or the transportation industry, and people like Cha Yuri, who awakened wind, water, or fire magic, got jobs in places like power plants instead of being Hunters.

People who awakened abilities like recovery naturally took on the role of doctors in this world. Rather, this field had much higher profits than Hunters, so as a consequence, the number of recovery-type Hunters decreased, which was a big problem.

Anyway, due to various awakened abilities, the main jobs men held in the original world were mostly occupied by women in this world, and it was the general concept of this world for men, whose opportunities for social advancement relatively decreased, to take on labor requiring less strength or become househusbands.

For reference, because it was a world where women were so strong, maternity leave was also short. It was from after 9 months of pregnancy until ten days after childbirth. Perhaps around 40 to 50 days.

Sometimes, seeing women working on-site with heavily pregnant bellies made me a bit anxious, but as I mentioned earlier, the women of this world are strong, so giving birth early before the due date just from exerting some effort rarely occurs.

Above all, since the doctors were all Awakeners, they could treat most unfortunate incidents if they occurred, and since childcare after childbirth was virtually the father’s responsibility, postpartum leave was naturally short.

Therefore, my current situation of preparing dinner at home while waiting for Kang Hye-eun to return from the guild would probably be similar to the form of an ordinary household in this world.

Of course, Kang Hye-eun and I weren’t married, nor were we cohabiting or in a romantic relationship; we were just childhood friends.

The distance of being slightly close childhood friends, who could readily satisfy sexual desire when needed, was just right. However, getting closer than this was not good if I wanted to earn points from her without guilt.

The eggs and vegetables on the frying pan were almost stir-fried, and I was just waiting for the water and curry to be added and start boiling, when I could confirm that the pink heart marked ’55’ on my smartphone’s satellite map had already approached the front gate.

Ending the ‘nearby Hunter search’ function of the Hunter Lust Manager app, I put the smartphone in my pocket and nonchalantly pretended to stir the curry pot with a spatula, when the front door opened and a familiar voice was heard.

-cheolkeok.

“Taekyung-ah~. I’m off work~!”

As I listened to Kang Hye-eun’s voice echoing throughout the house in a bright tone, I quietly lowered the gas stove flame I had kept on medium heat.

“Welcome home, Hye-eun-ah.”

“It smells delicious. Is dinner ready?”

“I just need to serve it.”

Unlike last time, seeing her come into my house still in her work clothes, it seemed she had probably rushed straight over to my place as soon as she got off work.

Full-body tights and armor wrapping her arms and legs… Honestly speaking, it was an embarrassing outfit, nowhere to look.

Thanks to the black tights covering her entire body, the degree of exposure was close to 0, but they revealed her curvy figure completely, without exception.

Even clothes like that were considered ordinary by the standards of other Hunter outfits in this world. Because there were more than just one or two Hunters who wore even more revealing Hunter outfits than that as regular attire.

“You came straight here today without stopping by home first? Your outfit is exactly what you wear to work.”

“B-because I wanted to see Taekyung quickly…”

Whether it was me she wanted to see, or the dinner I made… Or perhaps something else I possessed. To subtly test her intentions, I hugged Hye-eun, who hadn’t even taken off her shoes yet, right there.

“T-Taekyung? I worked up quite a bit of sweat today…”

“Yeah. Somehow, it smelled good.”

“Y-yeah…”

Of course, there were men who said women’s sweat smelled unpleasant, but if I had to say, I was closer to liking it. I don’t know if I originally had this kind of preference or if I had just become too accustomed to the smell of my childhood friend who awakened early, but at least for me now, Kang Hye-eun’s sweat smelled fragrant and familiar.

“Do you want to eat first? Or shower first?”

“W-wasn’t that why you called me… to eat?”

“If not that…”

As I casually brought my right hand down over her full-body tights, I felt a soft mound, as if it had filled with a little water, just as I expected.

“Wanna… do me first?”

-munjil.

“Ugh, ughh-?!”

As if she hadn’t imagined her clitoris would be touched right from the entrance, Hye-eun’s thighs, held in my arms, tensed up strongly.

“How shameless, pretending you just came for food. You were soaking wet down there like this.”

“We did it just two days ago… I heard men don’t like women who are too eager…”

“When I build up desire, I contact you first and tell you. But how can you, as a woman, contact a man first?”

“I-I’m sorry, Taekyung… Next time, I’ll tell you right away…”

“Can I trust you?”

“Y-yeah… Ugh, ugh?!”

After pinching Hye-eun’s brazen clitoris, which seemed barely reachable even through the full-body tights, once, I gently withdrew my fingers from rubbing her body.

“You should shower first. Do you have clothes to change into?”

“I-in my bag… pajamas and underwear…”

“…You said you didn’t stop by home?”

“J-just in case… I bought them at the supermarket on the way today…”

…You’ve managed to hold back so well with this level of lust until now. If I hadn’t asked you to meet today, who knows how many days or months you would have endured. Indeed, thinking quietly to myself that calling her today was a good thing, I pushed Hye-eun, still in her Hunter attire, towards the changing room in front of the bathroom.

“I’ll take out what’s in the bag, so go into the bathroom and shower first.”

“Uh, yeah… Then I’ll borrow the bathroom…”

After confirming Kang Hye-eun hurriedly entered the bathroom to hide her embarrassment, I took out the practically new underwear and pajamas from her bag.

The design of the underwear was unremarkable. It looked clean and pure, but it felt like underwear meant to seduce a man. Perhaps it was focused solely on its function as underwear. In the first place, in this world, it was common sense that men seduced women in bed, not the other way around, so the designs of men’s underwear were also more flashy and diverse than women’s. …Of course, that doesn’t mean I wear such underwear.

When I tore open the plastic-wrapped pajamas and underwear and placed them in the changing room in front of the bathroom, the sound of a cool water stream from the shower began to be heard from inside.

-swaaaaaa.

Beyond the translucent bathroom door, I could see black hair and skin-colored body parts moving. And somehow, seeing that bathroom brought back memories of the foreplay I shared with Cha Yuri in the bathroom yesterday.

“Shall I go in with Kang Hye-eun too, after so long?”

Even though it had been a long time, it was something from over ten years ago. Anyway, since she was the one who showed me her naked body just two days ago, there was no particular need to hesitate. And probably, Hye-eun wouldn’t refuse just because I entered either.

After roughly taking off the clothes I was wearing and tossing them into the laundry basket, I opened the bathroom door, where the sound of water could still be heard, and entered immediately.

-beolkeok!

“Let’s shower together too, Hye-eun-ah.”

“T-Taekyung? S-suddenly?!”

“Now that I think about it, I haven’t showered today either. Since we’ll be getting intimate later, we should wash each other cleanly.”

“T-Taekyung doesn’t really mind if you don’t shower…”

“Perhaps you wanted to shower alone leisurely? Did I disturb you by coming in suddenly?”

“Ah, no! I actually wanted to shower with Taekyung too!”

“Then that’s fortunate.”

Actually, even if she had said it didn’t matter much, I had no intention of backing down now. I would have subtly pushed my way into the bathroom by making some other excuse. However, as a result, even Hye-eun properly consented, so there was nothing to hesitate about anymore.

Squeezing body wash onto my palm and making foam with both hands, I immediately massaged Hye-eun’s huge breasts with both hands extending from behind her.

-malkang!

“Hyaat?!”

“Since we’re showering together after so long, I’ll wash you clean, every nook and cranny.”

“I, I can wash myself, but…”

“Be quiet. I said I’m washing you.”

“Ah, okay… Do as you please if Taekyung wants…”

As I felt Kang Hye-eun’s body flinch every time my hand brushed near her nipples, it was really hard to endure my desire. And there was no need to deliberately endure it at this point. Hye-eun and I had already crossed the line once; we were in that kind of relationship. Without any intention of hiding my erect penis, I rubbed it between her butt cheeks, and Hye-eun, feeling that, tentatively pressed her lower body closer to me as if she were in heat.

“T-Taekyung…”

“Why?”

“Y-you’re touching me too much… Ugh! A-aren’t you only touching my nipples…?”

“What can I do when you, Hye-eun, are so stiff and hard like this?”

“Can… that be a reason…?”

Hye-eun made an expression through the mirror as if she couldn’t understand or found it absurd, but I had no intention of stopping. Whether it was worth deliberately teasing her desire by only touching around her nipples, Hye-eun’s expected acquisition points slightly increased and changed to 60.

-malkang!

“Nghh-!”

“If there’s something you want, say it clearly. I won’t know if you don’t.”

“…Also, wash me…”

“Hm?”

“Ah, I’m asking you to wash my lower area too… I-if you’re going to wash me anyway…”

It was an earnest voice, as if spitting out the desire she had suppressed all at once. In fact, I had noticed she was in heat from when she pressed her butt forward, but I deliberately pretended not to know and only massaged her breasts. Because I was quietly waiting for such an embarrassing answer to come from her mouth.

“Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

“You actually knew it all along… Ugh, hgeuut…”

After deliberately answering in a brazen voice, I slid my hand down her body. A sticky fluid, inexplicable by simply mixing water and body wash, had already wet the area between her legs stickily.

“Spread your legs.”

“Ah, okay…”

“Bend your knees more. Try bending down slightly in a squatting pose with your legs spread.”

“…L-like this…?”

“Yes, that’s much better.”

“T-this kind of pose… is a little embarrassing…”

Hye-eun muttered, facing her reflection in the mirror, her face blushing. It was understandable that she felt embarrassed, being naked with her legs spread in what looked like an invisible chair pose. However, she didn’t seem to have any intention of refusing what I said or doing otherwise yet.

“What’s embarrassing? I’m just washing you.”

“…You’re not just washing me.”

“Just stay still. If you stay still, I’ll wash you cleanly.”

Gently bringing my right hand to Kang Hye-eun’s defenselessly spread pussy, I inserted my middle finger, made slippery by the body wash, deep inside her vagina.

-jjilggeok!

“Ughh-!”

“It’s where my penis will go later. You should wash it clean inside, right?”

“T-Taekyung is right…”

“That’s why I’ll wash you cleanly myself. Every nook and cranny, even places your hands can’t reach.”

-jjilggeok, jjilggeok.

“Ughh-! J-just a moment… T-Taekyung, you’re touching me too lewdly…”

I leisurely savored the harmony of squelching friction sounds and moans echoing in my ears as I rotated my finger, inserted deeply into her vagina, back and forth. Perhaps because she was a virgin just two days ago, the space felt quite tight even with just one finger inserted. Anyway, soon the inside would widen and change shape to fit my penis.

-jjilggeok, jjilggeok, jjilggeok!

“Haa, ha-eung, eut…! Hag-eut…!”

Hye-eun was already letting out sounds, about to reach climax, even though I had only moved my fingers a little. Letting her have it once easily should be okay, right? Any more than that would make dinner late.

After setting the shower’s water to lukewarm, I aimed the spray head between her spread legs.

“T-Taekyung? What are you…”

-swaaaaaa!

“Hgeut, hiyaaaah…!!!”

The shower’s stream of water, turned on at maximum pressure, instantly struck her gaping fissure. Kang Hye-eun reflexively closed her legs due to the unexpected strong stimulation hitting her lower body. Actually, it seemed like she might have reached climax the moment the water sprayed.

-umjjil, umjjil.

“What are you doing, Kang Hye-eun.”

“T-Taekyung…! T-This is too strong… ahh…”

“It’s where my penis will go, so of course, you should wash it cleanly. If you’re a woman, you should show that much consideration to a man, right?”

“S-sorry… I’ll wash properly…”

As Kang Hye-eun spread her legs again as if resignedly, one hand continuously pushed the shower head between her legs, while the other hand stimulated her clitoris, twisting it a little strongly.

-kkwaaak!

“Hgeut, haaaang…!!!”

As soon as I twisted her clitoris with my finger, Kang Hye-eun convulsed once more with a lewd voice. Thanks to the ticklish stream of water from the shower stimulating her vaginal entrance and the added stimulation to her clitoris, she reached climax one more time.

“Ha, haaa, ha, eut, ha…”

Hye-eun, having climaxed twice consecutively, managed to hold herself up, exhaling with pink breaths. Just as she turned her head towards me, about to make a shy confession that she wanted to release her desire.

-swaaaaaa….

“T-Taekyung…. I can’t hold it anymore… pfft?!”

The slightly cold water sprayed from the shower head poured onto her head, and Kang Hye-eun, with all the soap bubbles washed off, looked at me with an expression like a wet puppy.

“They say it’s good to finish showering with cold water.”

“Let’s do the rest after we eat. You can wait that long, right?”

“…Yeah.”

“I’ll finish my shower and come out too. Go out first and dry your hair or something.”

“Uh-huh…. Then…. Ah, okay…”

Kang Hye-eun looked at me with a slightly disappointed expression until she went out of the bathroom, and as soon as she left, I also started a quick shower.

Silently imagining how heated up Hye-eun’s body would be after the meal, and the body I would enjoy later.
