“Am I dreaming right now?”

Returning home with my soul soaring, I gently placed my hand on my chest.

Thump-thump, thump-thump. My heart was still beating rapidly.

It wasn’t a dream.

I had actually started dating Ma Yeonseo!

“Ah…!”

Letting out a silent cheer, I threw myself onto the bed, unable to contain my joy, kicking my feet in excitement. Then, realizing the noise might disturb others, I quickly stifled the sound.

Of course, I couldn’t suppress my laughter.

“Hehehe…!”

How long had I been enjoying this fluttering feeling?

Ringgg─. My phone began to ring.

Glancing at it, I saw that it was none other than a call from my girlfriend.

“!”

I sprang up and composed myself before answering the call.

“Hello?”

In the end, I stuttered slightly.

[ Did you get home safely? ]

On the other end of the speaker, she sounded just like always.

When she first appeared in front of my house, she seemed very anxious.

Now, her voice even carried a hint of tenderness.

“It’s me, and yes, I got home safely! How about you?”

[ I just got home too. ]

“Thank goodness.”

[ ……. ]

“…….”

A brief silence followed.

What should I say?

What story should I tell?

As I burst into laughter due to the newfound awkwardness, I heard a soft chuckle from the other end.

Suddenly, the tension dissipated.

“Oh… It’s awkward for no reason.”

[ Is it? I’m fine. ]

“You’ve always been like that. Not shy at all.”

[ Is it good to be shy? ]

“I don’t particularly prefer it… but if you like it, I’ll listen?”

[ Yes, because I love you. ]

Surprisingly, Ma Yeonseo had no hesitation in expressing her love.

“She’s so easygoing with her words.”

I felt like I needed a little more time to adapt.

We continued our usual light-hearted conversations, adding excitement to various topics.

[ So, what are you going to do about him? ]

“What do you mean, ‘do about him’?”

[ The junior from the club. ]

She brought up Kim Chabin without hesitation.

“Ah.”

All day long, I had been so preoccupied with Mayeonseo that I completely forgot about it, as black as night. “This is screwed,” I realized my position was extremely awkward. Just before the appointment with Isung, a girlfriend appeared. It wasn’t a good choice either way. “Such a trial from the first day….” While deeply contemplating the problem that far exceeded brain capacity, her voice came softly through the speaker on the other side. “I don’t need to worry?” It seemed like a question, but it carried a different meaning. It was as if she was saying, “I’ll handle it without you worrying?” “The answer was already decided from the beginning.” Grateful for her decision, I choked back tears and sent a vague apology to Kim Chabin, who knew nothing. “Then, I’ll handle it well….” “I believe in you.” Fortunately, after that statement, Mayeonseo didn’t bring up anything about Kim Chabin. Perhaps it meant she trusted me. “Should I be thankful for this…?” On one hand, I admired her strategy that overturned everything with just a few words, but at the same time, I couldn’t help but think of what would have happened if I had insisted on the promise with Kim Chabin. “…Wouldn’t I end up beaten like those guys back then?” For a very brief moment, I imagined an angry Mayeonseo. “Nah, that wouldn’t happen,” I chuckled inwardly.

Time flew by quickly after dating Mayeonseo. Before we knew it, we were in our third year. Luckily, this time we were assigned to the same class. “This is great!” It seemed like a dream come true to be in the same class as my girlfriend. However, my expectations were completely shattered. “Hey… Yeonseo.” “Yes?” During lunchtime, she glanced up from her phone and met my eyes. I was sitting with my legs crossed. “Can’t you just sit next to me? There’s an empty seat…” “Is it heavy?” “No, it’s not heavy.” “Then why?” She asked with an indifferent face, genuinely unaware of what the issue was. “It’s driving me crazy.”

Her self-proclaimed weight in the early 40 kilograms is not actually heavy. It’s rather surprising that it’s only that much. However, that’s what made it more of a problem.

With overwhelming development and proportions, she, at her peak, is fatal to middle school boys. Long hair flowing down her back with a half-and-half garma cut. A face of insane beauty that combines sharpness and innocence. A slender waist that makes the school shirt pitifully loose, and a chest so slim it seems like it could fit in one hand. On top of that, a sturdy lower body exuding healthiness. She’s nothing short of venomous, enough to take your breath away just by passing by in the classroom where everyone can see.

“These guys. They think they’re being sneaky.”

Most of them pretend not to notice, but they sneak glances, fully aware of us. Honestly, pressing up against me like this and whispering sweet nothings, I can’t help but be conscious of it, even if I don’t want to.

“(There are too many eyes in the classroom.)”

I whispered, trying to draw her attention.

But she didn’t pay the slightest bit of attention.

“So?”

Instead, she leaned in and lightly kissed my forehead as if to show off.

“Huh.”

“You don’t like it?”

“It’s not that I dislike it…”

As she wiped the spot where her lips had touched, something sticky faintly appeared on her fingertips.

“She did it again.”

Sure enough, it was lip gloss.

“……”

“Hehe.”

Shooting me an annoyed look, she affectionately wiped my forehead with a shameless smile on her face.

Is there really another fox like her in this world?

“I don’t know either. Just do as you please. Do it for the rest of your life!”

“Yeah, I’ll do it for the rest of my life.”

In the end, Mayeonseo, who had taken charge of my lap, gently cradled my head with a small laugh. With her posture, the overwhelming fullness gently pressed down on my head. Even though I knew what it was, I couldn’t bring myself to pretend I didn’t know. It was that enormous thing, using its unfair physique…

“Using your physique unfairly….”

As her scent, which was already tickling my nose, seeped in even deeper, I desperately tried to suppress my instincts.

“Hold on…! Hold on, Kang Yoo-chan…!”

That was the time when I fought a silent battle every day.

One hot June day, a sudden heatwave arrived.

Friday had arrived, and just like any other day, we were walking home together.

“Wow. Why is it so hot in June?”

“I know, right.”

The recent heatwave had been arriving earlier than usual.

In fact, it was practically summer already.

Nevertheless, we didn’t let go of each other’s hands.

Love is always hotter than the weather.

“We should probably clean the air conditioner soon.”

“We’ve been using ours since last week.”

“Oh… that sounds nice. We won’t have to worry about the heat while sleeping.”

Lately, I had been having trouble sleeping at night, and I couldn’t help but envy her affluent household. Nowadays, they say air conditioners are equipped with magic stones, which reduce the electricity bill, but I still felt a bit hesitant to use it without being conscious of the cost. Especially in our household, which relies heavily on my mother’s earnings.

“I’ll earn a ton of money later and live with the air conditioner on all day.”

“Aren’t you just going to spend it all on the electricity bill?”

“Well, let’s just say I paid a lot of taxes.”

As she laughed at her frivolous ambition, Ma Yeon-seo suddenly took my hand and said, “Then, would you like to come over to my place to cool off today?”

“Huh? To your place?”

It was an unexpected invitation.

“I’ll be alone at home all weekend.”

“Oh… really?”

“Yeah. So you can even stay the night.”

At first, I accepted without much thought, but later, I was secretly surprised.

“Me, at her empty house?”

Not just a casual visit, but an offer including accommodation.

“This, this is…!”

Naturally, I couldn’t help but think in that direction.

I’m definitely not weird.

“Wanna go?”

However, she seemed to have no ulterior motive, showing a reaction as if she simply wanted to spend time with her loved one.

I felt like I had become the only suspicious one.

“Yeah… it’s still a bit early for us.”

I’ve heard that some couples even sleep together before officially dating. We’ve always kept it to holding hands and kissing. In fact, at our age, isn’t that a bit fast?

Anyway, shaking off my regret and wicked thoughts, I accepted her kindness with a pure heart.

“Okay. I’ll go.”

*

Arriving at Ma Yeon-seo’s house after changing clothes, I was trying hard to appear relaxed.

I came to stay at my girlfriend’s place, and just that fact alone was enough to make me nervous, but I was completely blown away by the luxurious building.

“Why is this apartment so fancy?”

Mayeonseo lived in the largest building in an apartment complex known for being expensive. I had guessed as much, but it seemed she was indeed not an ordinary wealthy person.

“Phew… Don’t be intimidated. I’m just here to hang out at my friend’s house.”

With that thought in mind, I momentarily regained my confidence by hypnotizing myself.

Click. Finally, as the front door opened, Mayeonseo revealed herself.

“You’re here?”

Since it was her own home, she greeted me in much lighter attire than usual…

“Huh.”

The lightness was on a different level.

Neatly tied-up hair and a clearly exposed white nape, a snug white short-sleeved T-shirt, and dolphin shorts that seemed like they would reveal her hips. Even dark-colored underwear faintly visible through her top.

I couldn’t help but gulp down my saliva at the dismal temptation testing a man’s instincts.

“What’s wrong?”

“Huh? Oh, nothing… Excuse me.”

I barely pulled myself together and nonchalantly followed her into the entrance.

“Wear these.”

Then Mayeonseo willingly bent over to take out slippers for me, causing her buttocks to protrude naturally, emphasizing alluring curves and firm thighs.

For a brief moment, I was certain that this girl was tempting me.

“T-Thanks.”

I almost lost my composure for a moment, then composed myself and followed her into the house.

“…Can I handle this?”

Doubts about my self-restraint began to creep in already.

“This is the living room.”

“Wow… Why is it so spacious?”

As I entered the house, I once again marveled for a different reason.

Walking into the spacious living room, I was greeted by a total of three doors. And as I reached the expansive living room, two more doors inside welcomed me.

There were a total of five separate spaces within the house.

“Just leave your stuff there.”

As I continued to pour out my admiration while exploring the interior, Mayeonseo, who had entered the kitchen, pointed to the living room sofa and said, “Put your things there.”

Carefully setting down my bag, I awkwardly settled at the edge of the sofa. After a moment, she appeared with juice and asked softly, “Are you nervous?”

“No, it’s just… a bit unfamiliar.”

“Unfamiliar?”

“It feels like… touching something I shouldn’t.”

She chuckled as she watched me nervously fidget with the couch, then casually remarked while placing the tray on the table, “You’ll get used to it.”

She didn’t realize it wasn’t as easy as she made it sound.

“I’m done!”

“So fast?”

After roughly finishing our house tour, we decided to study before having fun. It was approaching final exam season, so we were getting a head start.

“Hmm… three mistakes.”

“What? That can’t be right.”

Thankfully, as I studied, I began feeling much more comfortable than when we started. I even started to think that this weekend might pass without any incidents.

“Well, it’s not just today.”

I didn’t want to force a mood by trying too hard. Clapping your hands makes noise, but doesn’t everything need to be in sync for things to work out?

“Ha, really, three mistakes.”

“Come here.”

With a bright smile, Mayunseo put down the red pencil, pushed the table aside, and climbed onto my lap. It was time for her to receive the agreed-upon punishment for each wrong answer.

Did it have to be in this position? I wondered. Nonetheless, I adjusted myself to make her sitting more comfortable.

“…Be gentle.”

“If I’m gentle, it won’t count as a punishment, right?”

Tap, tap. She playfully waved her fingers with a faint smile. Honestly, I wasn’t particularly afraid of being hit. I was only apprehensive about her overwhelming chest being so close.

“Three times, right?”

“Hurry up…!”

Swish. She grabbed my face and adjusted the angle. I closed my eyes tightly in anticipation of the impending impact. But…

“…?”

For some reason, after waiting for quite a while, nothing happened.

“What’s going on?”

Unable to bear the suspense, I quietly opened my eyes. And in that moment…

“!”

I was startled by her quietly approaching face.

“…”

“…”

A meaningful silence followed, the distance between us so close that I could feel her breath. Gazing intensely into my eyes, she spoke in a strangely excited voice.

“You know…”

“…Yeah…”

“Can we… change the punishment?”

“What… with?”

Instead of answering, Mayeonseo showed her intentions through actions.

Squirming, she moved her lower body, pressing her abdomen against mine, then placed her hands on my shoulders.

Naturally, the distance between us narrowed, and her sinister chest pressed against my body.

Gulp. Unconsciously swallowing saliva, she subtly protruded her plump lips, sending an unspoken signal.

It meant she wanted a kiss.

“Just a peck…”

Considering it as something I did ten times a day, I nonchalantly leaned in to meet her face.

As if she had been waiting, she pulled my face closer and covered my lips with hers…

“?!”

Swiftly, something foreign invaded my mouth with an alien sensation.
