Chapter 757: Late at Night (2)

After rejecting the late-night date at the gym, Do Yehee and I discussed a few things about what we would do until we fell asleep.

And the final conclusion we reached was to have a late-night meal with drinks via room service and then go back to bed.

It felt strange to go back to sleep so soon after waking up, but if I didn’t sleep now, even my daily routine for tomorrow would likely get naturally tangled up along with it.

Especially since Do Yehee seemed busy day-to-day lately due to fieldwork, it was only right to be considerate for her fatigue management.

“What would you like for the meal to go with your drinks? We have steak, pasta, or even bread.”

“Let’s go with meat or fish if possible. Since we’re going to sleep again anyway, protein would be better than carbohydrates.”

“I’ll have cognac for the alcohol. If I drink something like beer or wine at this hour, my stomach will just feel bloated.”

“Do as you please.”

After ordering the late-night meal via room service, we took turns using the bathroom to wash up.

To make love again, even in the bathroom, Do Yehee’s body looked quite exhausted, so I didn’t push it.

While Do Yehee showered first, then I showered, Do Yehee had set up the room service that arrived, so I sat down still wearing my bathrobe and had a simple drink with Do Yehee.

“Don’t you do toasts?”

“…Is there such a thing as a toast? Adding a decent toast to a drinking session like this is just so difficult.”

“True, that’s a fair point.”

While having that conversation, I drank half a glass of cognac in my hand and lightly cleansed my palate with salmon sashimi.

I later heard that this simple drinking session with a bottle of alcohol and a couple of side dishes cost around 500,000 won, but since it wasn’t my money anyway, I accepted it without much thought.

Actually, if I were to calculate the value of things I’ve received for free, the swimming pool I borrowed this morning or the musical I saw earlier would have been more expensive. To be surprised by things like this, I had known the young ladies from the foundation for far too long.

As I was sipping cognac late at night with steak and a plate of salmon sashimi between us, a pleasant buzz soon started to spread through my body, my face felt flushed, and my tongue felt quite fuzzy.

“This is my first time trying cognac, it’s quite strong.”

“I heard from Lulusia that most recovery-type Awakeners are quite resistant to alcohol, yet you, a multi-type Awakener, are getting drunk surprisingly quickly?”

“If I wanted to, I could purify the alcohol in my body, but I don’t feel the need to, so I don’t. It’s one thing to drink alone, but if you’re the only one sober at a drinking party with others, what’s the fun in that?”

“Hmm, really? That’s just like you.”

“And you look like you’re the one who’s properly drunk. You shouldn’t be talking to me about being drunk.”

“Not at all? I’m not the type to show off my drunken behavior.”

Despite her words, seeing her clinging to me like this, I could be quite sure that alcohol was coursing through Do Yehee’s body. And furthermore, that she was acting out because of it.

Considering her personality up until now, she wasn’t the type to openly act cute like this. Even just before we had sex today, she had stubbornly hidden her true feelings until the very end, only revealing them at the last moment.

And that wasn’t even initiated by her speaking first, but rather through a semi-forced situation where I caught her masturbating, so Do Yehee, who had maintained that level of guardedness until this evening, acting so affectionately now seemed awkward in many ways.

Of course, separate from how awkward it seemed, her affection itself made me quite happy. Each of these small expressions of affection proved that the relationship between her and me had progressed.

“I didn’t really have a chance to touch you until now, so I didn’t know. Taekyung-ssi, your upper body and lower body are definitely firm.”

“Well, you were always tied up whenever we had sex. So your hands probably never touched my body.”

“Actually, in the past, I absolutely hated men with a muscular build like this. If I were ever to get married, I thought I’d prefer a slender, weak man. Of course, I didn’t plan on getting married in the first place.”

“What kind of preference is that? Are you perhaps a shotacon?”

“It’s not like that. Men who are too strong, I can’t overpower or control them with my abilities. Besides, although my Awakener ability received an A+ rating for power and utility, there are some environmental factors that make it difficult to use just anywhere. It’s particularly hard to use indoors.”

“That makes sense.”

“So, even in situations where I couldn’t use my Awakener abilities, I thought I’d prefer a man I could physically overpower. It wasn’t a preference like being into little boys or anything, I just wanted a man I could personally control.”

Hearing that, it wasn’t exactly an unreasonable thing to say. The reason she developed androphobia in the first place was because her father used her in the company’s political games.

As a result, she became isolated within the Dokyung Group, and her relationship with Sihee grew distant due to her lack of social skills, so it wasn’t strange that she felt fear towards men she couldn’t control with her own hands.

Indeed, on the day I first subdued and raped her, she looked at me with terrified eyes the entire time. Even the next time we met.

“…But, it doesn’t really seem to matter much now whether I can control them or not.”

“Huh?”

“Since I’ve learned that the man I want cannot be controlled by me at will, even if I were to marry someone else, I would keep picturing someone who was the best option, in my mind.”

“…….”

“So, it doesn’t really matter anymore.”

Perhaps because the alcohol had clearly taken hold, Do Yehee unintentionally blurted out an indirect confession. I had somewhat expected it from the moment she subtly moved from her seat across from me to lean against my side, but it seemed that through all the things we’d been through, her preferences had fundamentally changed to revolve around me.

Do Yehee’s affection level, which started at 30 this morning, had now risen to 60. At this level, it was practically high enough to consider me her lover.

Of course, it wasn’t as high as Sihee’s, whom I’ve known for much longer, but perhaps it wasn’t impossible for Do Yehee too to enter into a deeper relationship.

“If you want, I’ll maintain this kind of relationship with you as much as you want going forward.”

“What?”

“Meeting regularly like this, going on couple-like dates, and indulging your peculiar sexual preferences, that’s what I mean.”

“Why are you suddenly trying to curry favor with me so much? Are you perhaps trying to use me to aim for something within the Dokyung Group…?”

“That’s not it.”

Honestly, treating me like some rattlesnake or industrial spy. Still, considering her past, I couldn’t fault her for having such suspicions.

“This might sound funny, but once I take a liking to a woman, I want to take responsibility for her until the very end.”

“…The woman you like? Me?”

“What, you don’t like that?”

“It’s not that… Didn’t you not really like me in the first place?”

“Well, of course not at first.”

Do Yehee bullying Sihee and Eunbyul and making me furious, breaking into my house without permission and suddenly resorting to violence.

I’m not exactly defending those actions now. I just understand the reasons behind those actions now.

And I had to convey that understanding to her, so that Do Yehee could confidently express her feelings towards me. Other women demanded my affection freely and often, but her inability to be honest due to guilt over past events was truly pitiful.

“People’s feelings aren’t always constant. Even if someone was an enemy yesterday, after going through various experiences, they could become lovers today.”

“…You say that so easily.”

“I’ve always been an easygoing guy. That’s why I willingly accommodated your strange kinks today too. Otherwise, wouldn’t you have been struggling and masturbating alone again tomorrow? Forcing yourself to endure the sensations right before climax?”

“…….”

As if she had nothing to say, Do Yehee quietly averted her gaze and finished the cognac in her hand. Her face, flushed from the alcohol, looked strangely endearing, so my body immediately lunged at her unguarded form once more.

“W-wait a minute…. I just showered…”

“We can just shower again. You’re going to shower and go out tomorrow morning anyway.”

“Besides, are you sure you’re okay? You’ve already ejaculated three times, so don’t overdo it…”

“Did you already forget about the time I was with both Sihee and you last time? If that’s the case, I’ll just have to make you remember with your body.”

“N-no, it’s not like that…. Ugh, ugh-eut, Haaaang?!”

The final sex session that day, had after drinking alcohol, didn’t involve any special play like restraints or orgasm denial.

It was just ordinary sex where a man and woman took off their clothes and mingled bodies, but ordinary didn’t mean it was any less pleasurable.
