Side Story 7. The Story After (7)

It’s fun.

Scarlet genuinely thought so.

She was certain that even the movie choices she didn’t understand, and the surprisingly successful pasta place, which had improved a lot despite its initial clumsiness, would all remain as good memories.

The time she spent alone with him was more enjoyable than she had imagined.

‘Was Kang Hyorin actually a master of romance?’

…No way.

She just got lucky. Or maybe, this Lee Hoyeon person was just straightforward, like a protagonist in a drama.

Whatever the reason, it was fine. In any case, Scarlet decided not to hit Kang Hyorin tomorrow.

After all, her advice had been helpful.

Thump-

Scarlet sat down on the bed as soon as she entered the room.

The motel room wasn’t very spacious. Besides the queen-sized bed, which clearly defined its purpose, there wasn’t much else.

Lee Hoyeon followed her into the room. As soon as he saw the room, he muttered,

“I told you we should have found a nicer place.”

“We’re not sleeping here, and we’ll be heading home soon anyway, so what’s the point of renting an expensive place?”

“Still, expensive places have a different vibe.”

And Scarlet really valued atmosphere.

This was something Lee Hoyeon had considered and developed in his own way.

“I’d prefer a place like that if I were sleeping over, but it’s fine today. No matter how much money you have, you shouldn’t waste it.”

“…You sound just like Daeun.”

“You can compare me to Ms. Daeun as much as you like.”

Scarlet tightly gripped the motel bed’s comforter.

Although the quality was inferior to the luxurious French comforter she owned, it wasn’t bad for temporary use.

Besides, she was an informant and an assassin. She wasn’t so sensitive as to fuss over bedding.

“For starters, I was the ace of the Iris Guild. I don’t complain about a room being small.”

“…Scarlet. I’m really sorry, but can I say one thing?”

Listening to her, he had become intensely curious about something.

He knew Scarlet would get angry if he brought it up, but he couldn’t help himself.

“Don’t.”

Scarlet seemed to know exactly what Lee Hoyeon was about to say.

So she told him not to. But Lee Hoyeon didn’t stop talking.

“If you’re an ace, shouldn’t you be good at eating spicy soft tofu stew too?”

Pang-!

The pillow Scarlet threw hit Lee Hoyeon’s barrier with a loud bang.

The barrier, deployed instantly, was surprisingly high-level, but Scarlet ignored it and glared at Lee Hoyeon.

At her sharp gaze, Lee Hoyeon instinctively raised both arms. It was a sign of surrender.

“Just kidding. Seriously, just kidding. Don’t look at me like that!”

“You… Haa. Forget it. You only have women around you who tolerate such jokes. It’s not your fault.”

“….”

What was this feeling, like being treated like a childish brat?

Wasn’t it kind of fun? Spicy soft tofu stew… Hmm. I shouldn’t have said that.

Lee Hoyeon thought this as he carefully sat down next to Scarlet.

It hadn’t been long since lunchtime. There was only one reason they came to the hotel, no, the motel, at such an early hour.

The act of exchanging affection and confirming their love. To have sex.

‘Today, I need to take the lead decisively.’

Normally, he would have thrown Scarlet onto the bed immediately and stripped her like a beast… but he decided to take things a bit slower.

There was plenty of time. Lee Hoyeon pressed himself close to Scarlet.

“How’s Dr. Kang Hyorin doing these days? I haven’t seen her in a while either.”

“About the same as usual. She asked me for information about you today.”

“What information did you give her? You spy.”

“It was about your romantic history. I tried to refuse, but I think I can give it to her now.”

“I’m sorry.”

Lee Hoyeon offered his apology as he moved behind Scarlet.

Naturally, he wrapped his arms around her from behind and slowly unbuttoned her blouse from the top.

“Didn’t you just apologize? And only about five seconds ago?”

“I’m doing this because I’m sorry. You’re upset because I did something wrong, so I need to make it better.”

“Hah.”

Scarlet wore an exasperated expression but didn’t stop his hands.

The feeling of him desiring her body wasn’t entirely unpleasant.

“Turn your head, Scarlet.”

“Lowering your voice so suddenly… Hmm….”

As Lee Hoyeon’s face came close in an instant, Scarlet’s body froze like stone.

Their lips met naturally, and their breaths tickled her cheeks.

“You really are cute at times like this.”

“…You lunatic.”

Her mouth, which had spat venomous remarks while on the bed, clamped shut.

Her changing demeanor on the bed. Scarlet found this cute.

Before she knew it, Scarlet’s blouse was gone from her body, neatly folded on the bed. It was unnecessarily neat magic.

“I’ll take off your underwear too, Scarlet.”

Lee Hoyeon looked down at Scarlet’s body.

Her smooth skin and beautiful curves made him swallow hard.

“I told you not to narrate every little thing…!”

Scarlet frowned and looked at Lee Hoyeon.

The way he smirked and toyed with her, looking so pleased, made her feel like she was losing.

It was the same right now. With his magic, he could have stripped Scarlet bare with a single snap of his fingers. Yet, he was enjoying taking her clothes off one by one.

“…Wouldn’t it be less embarrassing to take them off with magic? Why only use magic when tidying up?”

“This builds the mood.”

“….”

Scarlet couldn’t refute his words.

Atmosphere was a word she always used herself.

Scarlet asked, knowing she’d be refused.

“At least turn off the lights, Hoyeon-nim. Please.”

“No.”

Lee Hoyeon, who had neatly folded Scarlet’s bra, cupped her breasts with a villainous smile.

Holding her from behind, he gently massaged them as if they were precious.

“H-Haa… Nngh….”

Scarlet couldn’t help but tremble.

This crazy man made her feel ashamed every time they got into bed alone together.

“Mmm. You smell nice.”

Lee Hoyeon buried his face in Scarlet’s neck and started sniffing.

The act of him inhaling deeply and exhaling also contributed to Scarlet’s trembling.

“Hngh…”

Lee Hoyeon saw Scarlet biting her lip but didn’t pay it any mind.

Just like how he ignored Scarlet’s teasing and scheming on a daily basis! Scarlet had to endure this on the bed too.

It had to be fair.

“…What’s with that look, like you’re doing something totally justified?”

“There is.”

Lee Hoyeon casually touched the peak protruding above her breast.

Every gentle stroke sent shivers through her body, a strange pleasure like truly possessing this woman.

“You’re being good today.”

“What kind of nonsense is that? Nngh, seriously….”

Scarlet managed to continue speaking.

It felt like an electric shock ran through her body every few seconds. Especially since Lee Hoyeon loved playing with her breasts, her body had no choice but to get accustomed to such pleasure.

…But she absolutely refused to ask him to move on to the next stage.

She’d rather endure this.

Scarlet blurted out words without much thought.

“So, are you planning to leave Liliana-nim alone today?”

“Liliana? She’ll handle it herself.”

Lee Hoyeon focused on her words even while caressing her breasts.

Liliana would manage. There was no one threatening her right now.

But why did her name come up?

‘Does she miss Liliana’s tail?’

That meant his caresses weren’t enough.

Lee Hoyeon couldn’t help but be greatly shocked.

“Sorry, Scarlet. I’ll focus more.”

“Huh? What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

Scarlet, who had been yielding her body to Lee Hoyeon, questioned his sudden statement.

“Being held by me and talking about Liliana… that means you miss Liliana’s tail…”

“…Huh? Ah, no! What nonsense are you talking about!”

Scarlet was dumbfounded by Lee Hoyeon’s words.

What on earth was this man talking about?

“Then why did you mention Liliana? My pride as a man is shattered.”

“I just mentioned her without thinking because I know you worry about Liliana-nim a lot. Are you the type whose pride shatters over something like that?”

“Hmm. Is that so?”

What a relief. He had barely recovered his manhood, which was about to be crushed.

Lee Hoyeon quickly regained his pride and stared intently into Scarlet’s eyes.

Her gaze met Lee Hoyeon’s for a moment, then darted away.

“…What are you doing, stopping halfway?”

Reading her expression up close, he seemed to understand a little.

Only then did Lee Hoyeon notice Scarlet’s change.

“I wondered why you were acting this way today… Are you jealous of Liliana?”

“What are you talking about? You’re acting strange today.”

“You suddenly brought up Liliana earlier, and now you seem really preoccupied with her. Aren’t you?”

“It’s not jealousy! It’s just… I just wish you’d treat me like you treat Liliana-nim…”

Scarlet blushed and lowered her head.

She hadn’t intended to say this directly.

She definitely hadn’t planned on it when they entered the motel. Why was she bringing this up now?

‘Talking about his manhood shattering and other nonsense…!’

Her resolve weakened. She let her guard down. She became careless.

That man was a monster of lust who would have sex regardless of any criticism.

She had fallen for his tricks!

“Scarlet. Why would I think of anyone else when I’m with you? I’m sorry. It seems I upset you.”

“Nngh, I was just saying. I didn’t mean it.”

Scarlet said this while squeezing her eyes shut.

She hated herself for feeling even a little happy at his promise to pay more attention.

Would she end up completely captivated by this man? …That wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, though.

“Hngh…!”

What broke Scarlet’s reverie was a pleasure that sent shivers down her spine.

Lee Hoyeon’s hand, which had been stroking her stomach, had somehow invaded her panties.

“Why all of a sudden…!”

“I told you I’d pay more attention. I’m starting now.”

“N-No… Haa….”

Scarlet couldn’t muster the strength to push him away.

Every time his magic-infused fingers caressed her mons pubis, her body lost all strength.

Lee Hoyeon’s touch was an irresistible assault. Scarlet could only cling to his arm.

“You’re already wet. You have no right to call anyone a pervert.”

“Ah, hngh….”

Scarlet gave up arguing. She knew from experience that talking back would only intensify his caresses.

“You’re sensitive too. Glad we came out today, aren’t you?”

Lee Hoyeon stroked around her pussy, observing Scarlet’s reactions.

He hadn’t even touched her clit yet, and she was reacting this much. She must have been waiting a long time.

“Ah, Haa…. Please be quiet….”

“Okay, okay. I get it.”

Then I should reward you.

Lee Hoyeon smiled and inserted a finger into the slick, wet opening.
