“Yes?”

Lee Hyun unconsciously asked a question with a puzzled expression on his face.

“You heard correctly.”

Since he had taken off his mask, I could clearly see the question on his face, even with pity.

However, he continued speaking in a tone that still felt calm, even cold, with compassion.

“If your room is uncomfortable, I don’t mind going to mine. The bed is a little narrow.”

She glanced sideways over Lee Hyun’s shoulder.

This place, which once had only a small desk, was now equipped with various furniture, creating the appearance of a fairly decent home.

And he cast an unusually long gaze toward the bed he felt pity for.

“… Do you want to sleep in the same bedroom as me?”

No matter how close you were, he was never the type of person to make pitiful jokes. Not even the leader.

Lee Hyun desperately tried to organize his complicated thoughts and carefully opened his mouth.

“Exact.”

“Even if I ask why?”

“You were planning to go to your dormitory and sleep today too, right?”

“Yes.”

“I think it’s time to stop our experiment for a while.”

Yan Yanha still spoke in a calm voice.

“Symptoms of mental contamination may recur during the request. You won’t be by my side then either. Wouldn’t it be necessary to reset it at least once?”

It was a claim that sounded quite plausible.

“That’s true, but… Is it really necessary to sleep in the same bedroom?”

“You never know. If you shorten the distance, you might be able to recover faster.”

“… Yes?”

“Wouldn’t it take that much effort to cover several days in one night?”

“… ”

Lee Hyeon, who was speechless, stared at Yeon Myeong-ha as if he was shocked.

Unlike the previous claim, this is a statement that borders on stubbornness without even the slightest basis.

However, I could clearly feel the desire engraved in those eyes.

Maybe even the source of that feeling.

Lee Hyun, who had been thinking about the response for a long time, eventually nodded slightly.

“… Please do so.”

“Uh, huh?”

Then, for the first time, a look of embarrassment appeared on Yeon Myeong-ha’s face, which had been calm the whole time.

“Why are you so surprised?”

“No, who said they were surprised… ”

Lee Hyeon left Yeon Myeong-ha and started to organize the letters and books he had left on his desk.

The look in your eyes as if you could see right through my heart. And that calmness, as if he were dealing with a same-sex friend.

“… ”

Feeling a little distressed, Yeon Dong-ha glared at him with a bit of resentment, but soon calmed herself down by taking a deep breath.

-Myan… Mayang…

While scratching the door, I heard the exhausted Peanut sobbing sadly.

Yeon Myeong-ha hurriedly blocked Lee Hyeon, who was trying to open the door again.

“… why. Now we can bring Peanut back in… ”

“No. I can’t sleep when someone is next to me.”

Then, as if something suddenly occurred to him, he added quickly.

“Even if it’s okay for one person… Anything more than that is difficult.”

“… ”

“… I’ll take care of Peanut later. I give them delicious snacks and pet their fur… ”

“… All right. Then, I will sleep on the floor, and you will sleep on the bed… ”

“If you do that, it’ll be like I kicked you out. I don’t think I can sleep well because I feel uncomfortable.”

“So your senior sleeps on the floor?”

“I can’t sleep if my back is hard.”

“… ”

In response to the ridiculous excuses that immediately popped out as if they had been prepared in advance, Lee Hyeon stared at Yeon Myeong-ha with a complex expression.

Even though his body was shrinking in pity, he still maintained his confidence.

“There is only one way.”

***

Peanut’s mournful cries had suddenly changed into the sound of tired breathing.

Yeon Myeong-ha, who was lying down without even covering herself with a blanket, glanced to the side.

Even though almost an hour had passed since she lay in bed, she was unable to fall asleep.

Actually, I didn’t even intend to do that.

The bed wasn’t very wide, so there wasn’t enough space to put pillows between them, so she was able to fully see someone’s wide, solid-looking back.

“… ”

He turned his back indifferently, as if he wasn’t interested.

Seeing this, Yeon Myeong-ha pouted her lips.

She didn’t want tonight to end like this.

Because it was an opportunity to completely blow away the anxiety in my mind.

Yeon Myeong-ha gathered her resolve again and opened her mouth.

“Are you sleeping?”

“… Not yet.”

The answer came after a little pause.

“What are you talking about?”

“That… Didn’t you say earlier that you had something to ask?”

“I was planning to ask you before you leave tomorrow.”

“Why? Just ask now.”

I tried desperately not to let go of the thread of compassionate conversation.

“Almshouse? Well, I don’t really pay attention to that either… Still, I know the name and address. Where… ”

Although the question seemed odd, she didn’t really question it.

The most important thing now was to continue the act of exchanging words with him.

“It’s not that far from the cradle… Thank you.”

“That’s it. I can only be thankful for this in ‘Between Us’.”

Yeon Myeong-ha spoke with particular emphasis on certain words.

“But… Would you like to look here for a moment?”

“Why.”

“… Because your back is so wide.”

“Yes?”

“That… It blocks my view too much… Should I say it’s a little frustrating… So, I can’t sleep well… ”

“Ha… ”

He let out a deep sigh as Yeon Yeon-ha continued.

However, in the end, he cannot overcome that earnest request and turns away.

Soon, two eyes resembling a gloomy sky blue gaze intently at Yeon Myeong-ha.

A close distance where even a single strand of hair and lukewarm breath can be clearly felt.

“… Tsk.”

Yeon Myeong-ha wiggled her toes without realizing it.

At any rate, it was enough stimulation to make my body even hotter.

“… Why don’t you go to sleep quickly?”

Lee Hyun opened his mouth as if he was embarrassed to just watch.

“Then why aren’t you sleeping?”

“Because someone kept looking at me from the side.”

“… Maybe it’s because I changed my bed, but I can’t fall asleep easily.”

“Then why don’t you go to your bedroom right now?”

“… Heung.”

Yeon Myeong-ha glared at him with a scathing heart.

A coveted prey rolled in at my feet, but I didn’t even look at it.

Strangely enough, I didn’t like the fact that he was calmly accepting this situation.

“I guess I’ve seen this with a girl once or twice? It looks very familiar.”

These are words I said impulsively without even realizing it.

However, pitying him, he immediately regretted his words.

“… ”

This is because he made a complicated expression and avoided answering.

I had known for a long time that Lee Hyeon was bad at lying.

Maybe he hoped that he would immediately deny what he said.

However, at the feeling of opening a box that should not be opened, my heart, which had been so excited, sags like paper soaked in the rain.

“… The enemy who held your hand and stayed by your side all night… Yes.”

“Yeah, right… ?”

However, in his subsequent answer, joy fills brightly again in Yeon Myeong-ha’s voice.

It was obvious even without saying who the person who was protecting him was.

Even I didn’t like it… In any case, it means that it has never reached an area beyond that.

“… But when are you going to give me a gift?”

Lee Hyun asked as if trying to avoid an uncomfortable conversation.

“Huh?”

And Yeon Yeon-ha’s heart sank.

Without realizing it, she curled her toes and slightly crossed her thighs.

Yeon Myeong-ha lowered her head slightly as if avoiding eye contact.

Actually… I just happened to prepare a gift.

“… Are you curious?”

Comparing to the confident tone just now, Yeon Myeong-ha asked in a slightly more subdued voice.

“Of course I’m curious. It’s already been a few days since I said I would give you a gift if you win the ranking match.”

Lee Hyun wanted to change the topic, so he spoke even more forcefully.

“It’s not like you haven’t prepared yet, right? Or maybe I didn’t intend to give it to you in the first place.”

“No… ”

Compassionate’s eyes were wide open.

It’s been a long time since the preparations were completed.

I just needed time to gain courage.

“… Should I give it to you now?”

Taking a deep breath to control her excitement, Yeon Myeong-ha managed to open her mouth.

“Now? At this time… ?”

“Yes. He said he wanted to receive it. I can give it to you right away.”

“Then… ”

Lee Hyun looked puzzled for a moment, but then nodded.

Seeing him, Yeon Myeong-ha bites her lip slightly as if to strengthen her resolve.

“Good.”

A voice that is short but carries a bit of heat and stickiness.

Lee Hyun still couldn’t guess what Yeon-sik’s gift was.

I wondered if he was planning to go to his bedroom and bring me a gift.

However, Sympathy showed no sign of moving at all.

I closed my eyes tightly and buried my hair-covered shoulders and thighs even more weakly in the bed.

An alluring gesture that will take your breath away.

Then place one hand near your shoulder.

Five white, thin fingers hesitate for something. As if trying to break a taboo that should not be broken.

Finally, after a moment of hesitation, her decision-making fingers quickly unfastened the shoulder straps of the dress and took it down on their own.

“Senior!”

Lee Hyun, embarrassed by Yeon Myeong-ha’s sudden behavior, stood up and grabbed her wrist.

But after the incident had already happened.

The untied knot flows down helplessly, exposing the inside of oneself that had been carefully hidden.

Skin so pale that the veins are visible shines softly in the moonlight.

And it only covers a very small part of it, the most intimate places.

gray. Something of a slightly rough material.

Lee Hyun was able to immediately realize that it was what he had chosen.

What is the gift that Yeon Yeon-ha spoke of?

“What kind of gift is this?”

“Why. You chose it yourself. I said you liked it the best.”

“I thought you were making my clothes.”

There is no big difference whether it is ” or not. The clothes are the same clothes.”

“Do you think I would be happy to receive a gift like this?”

“Really? I thought you would like it. I thought I couldn’t control my joy just now and rushed towards it.”

“It is done. Let’s assume there was no gift. Let’s get some sleep.”

Then Yeon Myeong-ha glared at him with a distressed expression.

“… Why am I even doing this? Don’t you know what I mean?”

“I know. And I never asked you to do it.”

“I decided to hug you. Those are the words you said directly from your own mouth. no way… You didn’t say that without knowing what it meant, right?”

There was no way he didn’t know.

Sa Jae-hyuk paid special attention to the education of common sense.

Although it was an unpleasant training that I did not want to take, I was forced to take his special training because he threatened me with the excuse of training.

‘People like you are a disaster. A walking disaster.’

‘What do you mean?’

‘It means always be careful. If you go anywhere, don’t take it off carelessly. Especially in front of women.’

‘… ‘I don’t understand.’

‘Ugh, it’s frustrating! There’s no need to understand. Just accept it as is. And keep in mind what I said. Did you understand?’

He even tried to introduce me to local women near the garrison.

He reacted violently with rejection, and his sisters caught him in the act, which ultimately ended in vain.

“I think I said that I would hug you if I found that kind of charm. Not yet.”

“Well. I think this is more than enough.”

“… I heard that Jeokhwa’s purity is not that easy?”

“… Tsk.”

Lee Hyun even recalled the plea that Yeon Yeon-ha made in the south.

Recalling the dark history, Yeon Yeon-ha’s earlobes turned red.

However, she continued her argument without giving in.

“There’s nothing you can do. My body and mind have already fallen into your hands. I decided to just give up.”

“Where on earth did you learn this? The daughter of a noble family… ”

“‘Top 10 temptations that will conquer even the demons’.”

“… ”

There was absolutely no shame in exposing the upper body due to that calm fragility.

An attitude so shameless and pitiful that it makes you wonder if he was originally this kind of person.

And Lee Hyun did not have the gift of words to resolve this situation.

He chose to avoid conversation.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I sleep first.”

And then I turned away from the irritating scenery that caused agony.

“Diploma certificate.”

“… ”

“Jjolbo.”

“… ”

But Compassionate had no intention of giving up just yet.

Yeon Myeong-ha approached Lee Hyeon, who had turned around, and pressed herself even closer.

The feeling of two warm lumps of flesh stimulates the nerves in my back. He placed his lips next to Lee Hyun’s ear and blew out his breath in a tingly voice.

“Stupid.”

“… ”

“A real idiot who doesn’t even know how women feel.”

“… ”

“The greatest coward in the world… Wow!”

And Yeon Myeong-ha is about to gradually increase the level of selling.

Unable to bear it anymore, he turns around without warning.

Unable to offer any sympathetic resistance, he collapses onto the bed under the weight.

Lee Hyun grabbed Yeon Myeong-ha’s arms with one hand, tied them together, and lifted them above his head.

Even the hem of her dress, which barely covered her lower body, fell to the bottom of the bed in the chaos.

Soon, the straight toes, pale thighs with blue veins showing, and dark gray underwear bottoms are revealed.

“E… eww… Hi… ”

He was on top of me, completely pitiful.

Yang Yeon-ha swallowed a hiccup at the sudden reversal of her position.

From less than a span of distance, he climbed on top and was glaring at her with the ferocious gaze of a wild beast.

Compassionate could no longer maintain composure.

The pain that will come soon, and the sight of oneself disorganized after being brutally treated.

Something unknown that you will experience for the first time in your life.

Even though my legs are suddenly twisted, tears are forming in the corners of my eyes.

When Yan Yanha found herself in this position, a look of fear appeared on her face.

“… Hehe.”

As if evaluating an item, he gently lifted Yeon Sang-ha’s chin with his free hand.

A harsh sound escapes from Yeo Yeon-ha’s mouth without her knowledge.

But the next moment.

The fierceness that seemed to threaten to devour him was gone, and Lee Hyun slightly raised one corner of his mouth and made a clear sneer.

“Who says he’s a coward?”

“Uh, uh… ?”

With a sound, he lays down on the bed again.

The restraints that were squeezing my arms and the weight that was pressing on my abdomen melt like snow and disappear in an instant.

“It is done. What is a hug? Even though I wasn’t ready.”

After being dazed and belatedly realizing the meaning of the words, Yeon Myeong-ha’s face lit up with shame.

“You, you… ! How dare you laugh at a senior when you are a junior… !!”

“Go to sleep quickly. I’m really going to stay up all night like this.”

“Wait… !”

Yeon Myeong-ha grabbed Lee Hyun’s shoulder as he tried to turn around again.

And with his face still red with shame, he made a reluctant declaration of surrender.

“Then… At least give me an arm pillow.”

***

-Ugh… Black…

dawn.

With sobs disturbing his ears, Lee Hyun quietly opened his eyes.

The source of the sound was clearly his bedroom. And even closer.

Lee Hyun felt a light weight on one arm and lowered his head slightly.

I can see Yeon Myeong-ha snuggling into his arms like a squirrel hibernating in the winter.

And even the small teardrops that roll down from the corners of those tightly closed eyes.

“Huh… Father… Mother… Black… ”

The pitiful person who was synonymous with ruthlessness and arrogance was desperately calling out to someone as if he had returned to being a child.

“… ”

It was quite embarrassing to hear the echo from the next room so close.

This was also a problem that he could not solve.

It was not a mental contamination, but a bitter scar caused by an experience that could never be forgotten.

“Huh… no… Mother… ”

A mother with whom he is not related by blood.

My father, who was possessed by a non-existent ghost, tried to use Yeon Yeon-ha as an ingredient in a magic formula.

Nevertheless, she desperately searches for them.

Perhaps, rather than her affection for her parents themselves, she reflects on their deaths the sorrow that comes from the twists and turns of her life due to the terrible tragedy and mental contamination she experienced.

“… ”

The pitiful figure was still indifferent and defenseless, wearing only a gray underwear top and bottom.

It’s the result of lies and stubbornness that you never intended to sleep with.

A beautiful, streamlined body that looks as if it was created by God and makes you seething with lust.

Since you want it yourself, you can take him as much as you want.

After messing with that noble body, you can carve your own mark that will never be forgotten.

That way, he can definitely make her his property.

Before running away like someone before.

but…

“Huh… Black… ”

“… ”

Lee Hyeon stared blankly at Yeon Myeong-ha, who was still immersed in a dream of sorrow.

Then, he lifted his fingers and neatly brushed aside the hair that fell down her cheek.

“… What does hugging mean.”

Then he carefully embraced her as if she were a precious treasure.
