Episode 386. Heart-Pounding Home Visit! (2)

Moon Surin’s house.

Personal training room.

Chi-iik-

Finishing her weekend personal training, Moon Surin came out of the training room, wiping sweat with a towel. Having poured all the stress she received from work into training, she took off her training clothes with a refreshed expression.

“Today wasn’t bad.”

Her ability, psychokinesis. Since her awakening, Moon Surin’s skill had definitely increased, making her now comparable to even mid-to-high level S-rank hunters. Of course, her position as student council president offered few opportunities for direct combat, but that didn’t mean she could slack off on training, so Moon Surin had no time to rest, even on weekends.

“After washing up, I’ll do the piled-up paperwork. Hmm…”

Returning to her room, Moon Surin sat at the table and checked her schedule. Although there was a lot of work piled up, she wasn’t exactly fond of it either. It was tough to dive straight into paperwork right after training.

“Should I lie down for a bit after washing up? Maybe just for a moment would be fine.”

She sat on the chair, stretched, and looked at the photos plastered all over the room. Each and every photo featured the same man, and each had comments written by Moon Surin attached.

[I love you♡ So lovely♡]

[The way you eat ice cream…♥ Eat me too ⊙.⊙]

[Cute how you waved at the CCTV when entering the student council room ㅋㅋㅋ]

[Today felt like the distance between us got a little closer… Or maybe not!]

“…Have they gotten too numerous?”

At first, she collected photos from news articles. Then came photos taken by paparazzi. As if that wasn’t enough, later she started taking photos herself. Because she wanted to have special photos that no one else had. As she collected them one by one as a hobby, they filled the room before she knew it, and even she was sometimes surprised. Still, looking at them like this often made her feel proud.

“There are still so many left.”

The remaining photos, unable to be put up on the wall, were piled up on the desk. She knew she’d have to deal with them someday, but it felt like a waste to throw them away, so she couldn’t help it.

Lee Hoyeon was a special person to her. The stress she received because of the stalker. The pressure from her father and student council duties. Lee Hoyeon was the one who made her forget all of it. He might think of her as just a girlfriend, but Moon Surin had staked her life on him. She might not have been able to live without Lee Hoyeon. Enduring this difficult workload was all for him.

“…Since I’m going to wash up anyway.”

Moon Surin lay on the bed and looked at the photos of Lee Hoyeon on the ceiling. Lee Hoyeon walking around the street, and Lee Hoyeon entering the student council room. His back as he left after sharing a passionate moment in the student council room, and the sight of them embracing each other on the student council chairs. Every time she scanned each photo, her body grew hot starting from her lower abdomen. It was like Pavlov’s dogs; she reacted just by looking at Lee Hoyeon’s photos.

Ttal-kak-

• Noona, I love you. Surin noona.

“Yeah, ah. Hoyeon…”

As soon as she touched the Bluetooth speaker on the bed, Lee Hoyeon’s voice flowed out. Just hearing his voice made her heart flutter; surely, this must be fate.

Jjigeok- Jjigeok-

Focusing on the beautiful voice that made her heart pound just listening to it, Moon Surin pushed her hand between her thighs. Her panties were already wet and in the way, so she took them off.

“Ah, aahng…. Eueut…”

Once. Twice. Thrice. Moon Surin, who had intended to take a short break, frantically moved her hand. There was nothing quite like this for relieving stress. It would be great if he could have sex with her every single day. But both she and he were busy, so they didn’t have time.

Jjueup- Jjueup-

Moon Surin stimulated her clitoris with her thumb while rubbing the inside of her vaginal opening with her middle finger. Her body trembled, and her toes pointed straight. Engrossed in masturbation as if addicted to pleasure, Moon Surin suddenly came to her senses.

“Huk. What time is it…?”

She had only intended to do it for a moment, but it had gotten too late. There was still a mountain of work piled up. Moon Surin quickly grabbed her clothes and went into the bathroom.

Chwa-ah-

The cold water flowing down awakened her mind. The embarrassing act she’d just committed came to mind, but she shook her head back and forth, shaking off the afterglow.

“…”

Seu-euk- Seu-euk-

Wiping herself directly between her legs, which were covered in something sticky, Moon Surin felt a strange sensation.

‘I really need to exercise more self-control next time.’

Having washed thoroughly all over her body, Moon Surin emerged from the bathroom and checked her smartwatch while drying her hair. Perhaps a message had arrived from Hoyeon.

“…Huh?”

Seeing the smartwatch, Moon Surin’s eyes widened.

• Hoyeon: Surin noona. This time, I cleared out a Pandemic lair. I’m contacting you because I want to announce that it was handled by the Academy. Also, while tracking, I met your father, and I’ll tell you about that too.

Because there was a message from Lee Hoyeon. It wasn’t even a casual greeting, but extremely important business. Of all times, the message arrived right after training during her masturbation time, so she couldn’t check it. Seeing that there were even missed calls, it seemed very urgent. Moon Surin immediately called Lee Hoyeon. But just then.

Ttingdong- Ttingdong-

At the sound of the intercom ringing, Moon Surin turned her head towards the front door.

---

“It should be around here…”

I was walking around the Academy, looking at the map. Moon Surin’s house was close to the Academy, and also close to my house.

“What are you doing that you haven’t contacted me until now.”

As I muttered while looking at my still-silent smartwatch, I arrived in front of Surin noona’s house. The location indicated by the address is correct… but now that I’m here, I’m worried. Because Surin noona had strictly warned me that I had to contact her beforehand and come.

“I did contact her. She just didn’t answer.”

Wasn’t that what she said? Or whatever.

Ttingdong- Ttingdong-

I pressed the intercom firmly. The reason noona insisted I contact her is probably because of the stalker incident. Since he was persistent enough to chase me even to the dormitory, it’s natural that some anxiety remains. But Shin Dongmin, who was the stalker, is dead, so I don’t need to worry about that anymore. In the first place, if she sees my face through the intercom, she probably won’t think I’m a stalker.

“Or maybe she lives messily?”

Some people are neat outside but messy inside their homes. Surprisingly, there are many such people.

“Surin noona might be that type.”

‘If she’s pretty, it’s understandable.’ Of course, that kind of problem can be forgiven if she’s pretty. The world mostly lets things slide if someone is pretty.

Kki-ik-

After waiting a moment, the door opened. Through the slightly opened door gap, Surin noona’s wet hair popped out.

“Oh… Hoyeon?”

“Hello, Surin noona. Since you didn’t contact me, I came to check if something happened.”

“Sorry. I briefly fell asleep, so I didn’t receive the important message.”

“It’s okay. I contacted the Chairman, so the urgent matter is handled.”

“Ah. Yes… That’s a relief. Yes. It really is.”

I looked at Surin noona. This noona’s vibe is a bit strange today. Is it because she just woke up?

“You must have just washed up?”

“Uh-huh. I washed up right after training ended.”

“Huh? Didn’t you say you briefly fell asleep?”

“Uh. Uh…”

Moon Surin darted her eyes around, flustered. Even if I don’t know why she was so flustered, I should let it slide for now.

“Um, what does it matter? You saw my message, right?”

“Yes. I saw it… “

“…Can’t I come in? Are we going to talk standing outside the whole time?”

It seems she’s disoriented from just waking up. She’s not the type of person to treat a guest like this, though.

“My house, my house is quite messy. I haven’t cleaned anything. How about we go to a cafe outside instead? Uh, right. I deliberately chose this place because it’s near the cafe that makes Clair Rose Lattes. Yeah. I can get ready quickly…”

“Huh? No. Since we need to discuss something important, a cafe might not be suitable, don’t you think?”

“Uh… Uhh. It can’t be…”

“…”

Anyone would think she’s hiding another man in the house. How messy must it be for her to act like this. Then again, I lived quite messily when I lived alone too. I didn’t know noona had that side. This must be what they call ‘human charm’.

I smiled and pushed my body through the door gap.

“It’s fine. I lived messily when I lived alone too.”

“No. No, really…”

“Hey. What’s the matter? I won’t be disappointed even if the room is a bit messy. That’s all part of human charm.”

“Ah, it’s not that. It really can’t be…”

Moon Surin, who was pushing me away with strength, ultimately couldn’t stop me and let me into the house. I looked around starting from the entrance; seeing the neatly arranged shoes and the dust-free shoe rack, something felt strange.

“It’s clean enough if it’s like this?”

“Huh? It’s incredibly clean.”

“Yeah. I clean once a week, so…”

“Then what is it? Did you really hide another man?”

“That’s impossible…”

Moon Surin stood at the entrance, covering her face with her palm and lowering her head. If it’s not the house being messy, nor another man, what could be embarrassing? Maybe she was watching an adult video or something?

Deureureuk-

“…Huh?”

As soon as I entered the living room, my eyes widened. Only then could I understand why Moon Surin had blocked me. First, my bromide posters filling one side of the wall. I used to wonder who would buy that kind of thing sold on the internet, but that person was here. If this was all, I wouldn’t even be surprised. My photos were stuck all over the living room. Starting with photos from internet articles, there were photos taken at strange angles that made me wonder when they were taken.

‘No, when did you take these while we were having sex? I didn’t even notice?’

The peculiar photos are a problem, but. The crowning touch is the comments written on each photo.

[The way you looked when you first came to the student council… So fresh and young♡]

[You’re sexy even when concentrating in magic class…]

[Is this casual wear? You look good in your uniform, but your casual clothes too…]

[Hoyeon eating in the student cafeteria. I wish you’d ‘eat’ me too…]

“…”

What the heck.

Seriously, what the heck?

Moon Surin had this kind of fetish?

‘No…’

This kind of fetish didn’t appear in the original work. Such important content couldn’t possibly have been omitted, so this must be a fetish developed by this world’s Moon Surin.

‘If so, has fate changed this too?’

It’s ambiguous. It’s one thing if an existing fetish disappeared, but if a new one appeared, that’s a different story.

“D-did it make you uncomfortable? Are you disappointed? I’m sorry…”

While I was seriously contemplating Surin noona’s fetish, she came up behind me and took my hand. When I turned my head, I saw Surin noona’s face, wearing a sad expression.

“At first, I started it just for fun… But before I knew it, I wanted photos that others didn’t have, so I secretly took them. I know it’s a crime. I’m truly sorry…”

“…”

I placed my hand on the shoulder of Moon Surin, who had lowered her head deeply. Surin noona lifted her head and looked up at me slightly, and I slowly opened my mouth.

“Noona.”

“Uh, uh-huh…”

“If you ask, I can do this much for you anytime.”

“Huh?”

At my words, Surin noona looked at me as if surprised. Of course, I was a little surprised at first, but no matter how I think about it, it’s not something to be disappointed about. Clearly, stalking is a crime. Naturally, I would hate it if an unwanted person chased me. But if a pretty woman I like is stalking me…

‘It’s not bad.’

No, it might even be good. If she’s pretty, that’s a point of charm too. Therefore, I can forgive it.

Surin noona was still looking at me, without grasping the situation. Her blank face was funny, so I let out a chuckle.
