Chapter 768: The Familiar White Door (2)

「The Door That Won’t Open Without a Kiss」

It was a phrase I hadn’t seen in a while.

It was the phrase that, a few months ago, transformed the relationship between the President-nim and me from merely boss and subordinate into a romantic one, and it could be called the beginning of this dungeon, ultimately leading to sex.

Because of this familiar white door and that phrase, the President-nim and I first became physically involved in this dungeon.

Looking back now, it was Belle’s active desire, which I didn’t know about back then, that connected her and me, so really, for that alone, I could never thank her enough. Due to our difference in status, age, and various other reasons, President Seo Ok-hee was like a flower on a cliff or a star in the night sky to me. Now, thanks to Belle’s help, we’re much closer than before.

“‘The Door That Won’t Open Without a Kiss,’ it says, President-nim.”

“…Y-yes, it does.”

As I read the familiar phrase that appeared before us as if it were the most natural thing in the world, the President tried hard to answer nonchalantly.

-Clank. Clank-clank.

“It really seems like a door that won’t open unless the condition is met. It’s completely locked tight.”

“…W-well, I guess we have no choice. Even though it’s a childish phrase like that, it says it’s a door that only opens if the condition is met.”

“Yes, I guess we have no choice.”

With the excuse of having no choice, President Seo Ok-hee was strangely waiting for my next move. She probably thought I’d open the door with a kiss like last time and proceed to the next stage.

Seeing the President-nim like that, a desire to tease her a little naturally welled up inside me, and I drew my greatsword from the spatial pouch I’d stored it in during our break and took a stance to swing.

“It seems we have no choice but to pass through the door according to the condition….”

“First, I’ll try swinging at it. We have to confirm if it really doesn’t open.”

“…W-what?”

“Even so, it would be your ‘first kiss’, President-nim, so it doesn’t make sense for you to give it to me here for this reason, does it?”

“M-my first kiss…? Ah, y-yes. It is my first kiss…”

“I’ll try swinging at it first, and if it doesn’t seem to open, we’ll find another way.”

Saying that, I swung my sword with all my might towards the white door before me.

Although President Seo Ok-hee muttered to herself from behind, ‘There’s no need to go that far…’, I deliberately pretended not to hear her, wanting to tease her.

“Hyaaaaaahap!”

-Swish!

It was a powerful swing accompanied by a mighty yell, but naturally, the white door placed in front of me remained completely unharmed, without even a scratch.

Besides, even when we first encountered it, President Seo Ok-hee had tried every means to open the door, but it never opened until the President-nim and I kissed.

In a sense, it was a facility like a collection filled with Belle’s desires, so it would be stranger if it broke just because I took a stance and swung.

“It won’t work. I don’t think my sword can cut through it.”

“I-is that so. That’s a relief…”

“What? A relief?”

“…I-it means I’m relieved there’s a condition that allows us to open it without breaking it. If it were just a hard, unopenable door, perhaps you and I would have lingered around here unable to let go, but it clearly tells us the condition to open it. So don’t misunderstand, it’s not that I’m relieved you couldn’t cut the door.”

“…Ah, I see what you mean.”

Although it was obvious to anyone that President Seo Ok-hee had muttered in relief that I couldn’t open the door alone, I decided to let it slide for the sake of her honor.

And judging by her reaction, it seemed the President-nim was fully intent on kissing and moving on. She probably intended to have sex, let alone kiss, from the moment she suggested exploring this dungeon again.

“I don’t mind proceeding according to the condition, but are you okay with it, President-nim?”

“Y-you don’t need to worry about it being my first kiss. Shouldn’t we just finish this quickly and move on to the next door?”

“Are you really okay with it?”

“I won’t be flustered by a mere act of lips touching, so don’t give me strange consideration and just get it over with.”

For someone who claimed not to be flustered, President Seo Ok-hee was revealing her unstable state of mind completely, even stuttering.

Moreover, she had accidentally let slip that there would be a next door, but I naturally pretended not to hear it this time as well.

“Understood, President-nim. Then I’ll kiss you, so lift your head slightly.”

“O-okay.”

At my words, President Seo Ok-hee slightly lifted her head, quietly closed her eyes, and waited for my lips.

Yet, seeing her arms still crossed tightly at her chest, she was clearly trying to maintain an air of nonchalance. Of course, to me, even that looked nothing but cute.

-Peck.

“Hngh.”

-Click.

Immediately after the light kiss, akin to a peck, the lock clicked open and the white door swung open naturally. And beyond it, the familiar sight of a white room, one I had entered before, immediately met my eyes.

Last time, it was a white room we had no choice but to enter due to a lack of options, but now, looking at it with leisure, it was clearly an alien space that looked suspicious to anyone.

“It looks a bit suspicious inside too, but should we just go in anyway? Or would it be better to turn back and look for another exit?”

“…I suppose we have no choice but to go in? Anyway, this seems like it might have more potential than continuing to clear the dungeon.”

“Understood, then. If you say so, President-nim, we have to go in. If we don’t go in after all this, won’t your sacrificed ‘first kiss’ become meaningless?”

“…I-it won’t be meaningless, but we do have to go in anyway.”

With those words, President Seo Ok-hee half-pulled me into the room.

Following the President-nim, who was full of desire, we stepped into the opened room together. This time too, like last time, a spacious white room without any additional facilities greeted us, and again, at the far end opposite the entrance, a tightly shut door and a black electronic display were installed.

It was the familiar white door, with the same phrase written on it that the President-nim and I had seen when we entered last time.

「The Door That Won’t Open Without a French Kiss」

“……”

“……”

French kiss.

It was an act signifying a deep kiss, which was also included in the President-nim’s current sexual fetishes.

Facing each other as if embracing their lips, rubbing tongues inside and exchanging saliva and breath, it was, so to speak, a deep kiss virtually indistinguishable from sex.

And furthermore, in President Seo Ok-hee’s case, she considered even the act of naturally rubbing bodies during the kiss as part of a ‘French kiss’, so naturally, the act itself would become even more lewd.

The previous kiss could be brushed off with the excuse of it being the President-nim’s first kiss (which it wasn’t), but the act that was about to begin now was so intense that the President-nim should have been the one asking me for it.

In this world where gender roles are reversed, men are usually more sensitive about these things than women, and besides, no matter how much one maintains their youth, the older one is still the President-nim, not me.

“W-we have to… do a French kiss…?”

“Yes, it seems so.”

“……”

As if unable to even contemplate moving on to the next temptation, President Seo Ok-hee tightly shut her lips and only watched my expression.

In the first place, from the moment she suggested exploring this mystery dungeon again, I had essentially agreed to the President-nim’s proposal for sex.

Knowing that, she should have been able to predict that I wouldn’t refuse even if she took the initiative. Seeing her hesitate, unable to overcome her shyness even at the mere suggestion of a French kiss, it seemed that her usual mind-reading ability, which allowed her to read others’ thoughts, was having a significant impact.

…I guess I have no choice.

From now on, I’ll have to be the one to approach her.

Besides, according to the description of her sexual fetish, “Subordination,” she tended to prefer it when I took the initiative, so from now on, regardless of the President-nim’s opinion, I intended to push forward.

“Let’s just do it right away, the French kiss.”

“W-wha?!”

“We can’t move on to the next room if we don’t do it anyway. There’s no reason to hesitate, isn’t it better to just get it over with?”

“…Y-yes, that’s true. Mm.”

“Since I, the man, am bravely suggesting we do it, you’re not going to refuse because you’re embarrassed, are you, President-nim?”

“E-embarrassed! What are you talking about, getting worked up over just a French kiss. I was just wondering if you might feel uncomfortable, so don’t make strange assumptions.”

Although the President-nim said that, anyone could see the trembling excitement radiating from her body. It was to the point where I could easily imagine a tail sprouting from behind her waist and wagging, if the President-nim were an animal-type Awakened like Min-ah.

“Like before, lift your head slightly. And part your lips a little.”

“……”

At my words, President Seo Ok-hee obediently lifted her head and quietly pushed her slightly parted lips forward.

Her lips met mine, and my arms wrapped tightly around her small frame before me.
