Sohee

“Ugh…”

A heavy weight pressing down on my stomach.

I opened my eyes at the soft, squishy sensation right next to my face and got up.

Turning my head to look beside me, Sohee had her arms and legs wrapped around me, hugging me tightly.

Looks like she was talking in her sleep or something.

How many hours had passed while I was nestled in Sohee’s arms like a cherished doll?

The sky visible beyond the terrace was already dyed black.

I carefully slipped out of Sohee’s embrace.

She didn’t open her eyes even when I moved her arms and legs, so she must still be sound asleep.

Looking down at Sohee’s sleeping face, I couldn’t help but smile.

“Euchya…”

I jumped off the bed and headed for the table next to it.

My goal was to grab my phone that was on it.

Reaching out and checking the phone screen, I saw a message had arrived from Ellie.

Ellie – [A nap at this early hour…?]

Ellie – [Hayeon. Have you already fallen asleep, my dear? If not, could it be that…]

Ellie – [Hayeon. I am going out for a bit with Seongshin-sunbae. I plan to buy souvenirs when I return, so you should look forward to it.]

I nodded as I checked the contents of the message.

It seems that Ellie and Seongshin-sunbae got bored of waiting and went out to play.

“Eueueut…!”

I stood still and stretched.

Arms and legs stretching out.

This action, filled with the will to grow as tall as Harang, had continued for years, but my height still remained the same.

What the hell is the problem? I even make sure to drink milk every day.

I moved my arms around and tapped my body here and there.

The slight tiredness I had felt was completely gone.

The effect of the scented candle Sohee lit was definitely significant.

“Hayeon-ah?”

Just then, I heard Sohee’s voice.

Her voice, deeply sunken as if she was still in a dream, sounded quite charming.

“I’m here.”

Sohee got up groggily.

She looked around, then smiled faintly at me.

Judging by the smile on her face, she must have really liked this nap.

I smiled back in response to her smile.

“Did you sleep well?”

“Yeah…”

“Ellie and Seongshin-sunbae went out for a bit.”

Judging by the fact that I didn’t see a message saying they had arrived, they must still be out playing.

Perfect timing. Instead of sleeping all day, it would be nice to go out and play with Ellie and Seongshin-sunbae.

I ran to Sohee and grabbed her hand.

“Let’s go out too.”

“Us too…?”

Sohee still seemed to be half-asleep.

Sohee, who was staring blankly at me, reached out and suddenly lifted me up.

Her hands dug right under my armpits.

My legs dangled down.

I stared at Sohee in that awkward position.

A small sigh escaped my lips.

I appreciate that she likes me, but I wish she would refrain from suddenly picking me up like this.

It’s a good thing it was me, otherwise, someone else would have been startled and struggled.

“Can’t we just sleep more?”

“Sleep again? How are you going to sleep later? Stop sleeping.”

I shook my head and answered Sohee’s whining.

I wish she would put me down soon.

Thinking that, I gently swung my legs back and forth, and Sohee smiled and put me down.

She’s quick on the uptake, as always.

“Okay. But where are we going?”

“We’ll have to figure that out now.”

I said that and called Ellie.

A short ringing tone.

Had about 20 seconds passed?

Ellie’s voice was heard from beyond the phone.

[Hayeon…?]

“Yeah. It’s me.”

[Y-you seem to be safe… Is your body alright?]

Is my body alright?

I tilted my head at Ellie’s question and answered.

“Yeah. Nothing hurts… Where are you now?”

[Ah, we were just about to go back. Is there anything you would like to eat?]

“Anything I want to eat?”

[Like snacks.]

Snacks?

I turned my gaze away from the phone and looked at Sohee.

Because I didn’t particularly want to eat anything right now.

“Sohee-ya. Is there any snack you want to eat?”

“Snacks?”

“Ellie said she’ll buy some.”

“Eung. I don’t want anything right now.”

If that’s the case.

I nodded and answered the phone.

“There’s nothing I particularly need.”

[I understand. I will be back soon, so do not fall asleep again.]

With those words, the call with Ellie ended.

Seriously… To maintain that tone even outside. Ellie’s entire life must be Deron.

I shook my head and sighed.

“Aren’t we going out?”

“Yeah. Ellie said she’ll be back soon.”

It seems she heard the conversation on the phone a little.

Sohee smiled as if she didn’t mind and sat down on the bed.

Then she patted the spot next to her.

A signal to come and sit there.

But I shook my head and turned away.

The time is 9:10 PM.

It was the time when all the preliminary matches ended and the main bracket was announced.

“Hayeon-ah…”

I ignored the sulky voice coming from behind me.

I have to check it first, right?

I picked up the document on the table and checked the address.

Then I accessed the site through my phone.

As soon as I accessed the site, a pop-up window appeared.

It was a notice that the preliminaries had ended, and a notice that the preliminary match videos could be replayed.

I stroked my chin and jumped onto the bed.

I didn’t expect them to have saved the match videos from the preliminaries.

Sohee’s judgment was correct. If I had participated in the match earlier, my strategy would have been exposed to others.

Of course, that doesn’t mean they can beat me just by knowing it.

“What are you going to do?”

“I’m going to check the bracket and watch some match videos.”

“Is there someone you’re worried about?”

“No? I’m just curious about the skills of ordinary middle and high school students.”

I can’t help but be curious. The people around me are basically good at games.

Ellie and Hwarang go without saying, and Sohee also boasts considerable skill.

Seongshin-sunbae, who is in the same VR game club, also had skills far exceeding the average person.

The sitting position is uncomfortable.

I lay down on the bed and started pressing the phone screen.

The first thing I checked was the bracket.

The name of the school we would fight first was Gangil High School.

When I touched the name of the high school, the match videos from today popped up.

It was at that moment when I was about to focus on the video.

Sohee, who was looking at the video behind me, laid down and overlapped her body on top of me.

It’s not heavy. Because Sohee was supporting her body by taking her arms and legs to the side.

But the large breasts hanging behind my back began to press down on my head.

“Sohee-ya…?”

“I want to watch with you too.”

“That…”

No, it’s nice to watch together, but did she really have to do it in this position?

I let out an awkward smile without even turning my head.

Because the breasts pressing down behind my head prevented me from moving my head.

“Is it heavy?”

“No. It’s not heavy.”

I answered Sohee’s question hastily.

Women are especially sensitive to weight. It’s a wise decision to say it’s not heavy even if it actually is.

As expected, I heard Sohee’s laughter from behind.

“Then can I lean on you a little more?”

“Ah, yeah. As much as you want.”

The moment my answer ended, weight began to be placed on my body.

A heavy weight pressing down on my waist.

It was definitely Sohee’s butt and thighs.

At that moment, I could realize.

That this position is quite embarrassing.

It’s a good thing that only Sohee and I are in this room. If Ellie or Seongshin-sunbae were here, they would have stared at me with strange eyes for a long time.

“Hey, Sohee-ya…”

“Yeah.”

“Why are you smiling like that?”

“Smiling…? Me?”

“Yeah…”

I nodded at Sohee’s question.

I couldn’t turn my head because of the breasts pressing down on my head, but I could see Sohee’s figure reflected in the large window.

Sohee, who climbed on top of me as if to crush me with her large breasts and butt.

Of course, she wasn’t putting her full weight on me because she was being considerate.

But the face with a faint smile looked somehow sinister.

Sohee turned her head following my gaze, and only then did she blankly open her mouth and nod.

“Sorry… Did I look weird?”

“Ah, no, it’s not that…”

“I guess I smiled without realizing it because I was having so much fun playing with Hayeon.”

“Ah…”

No, I didn’t even know that…

I almost said something in a way that pointed out that her smile was strange.

Sohee, who looked down at me and smiled as usual, reached out and tapped the phone I was holding.

“Which one do you want to watch first?”

“Ah, that one. The one on top.”

“This one?”

Tok-

Sohee’s long finger touched the phone screen.

A video popped up immediately.

The video contained the match content of the opposing team we would fight tomorrow.

The deathmatch video is only about 2 minutes long at most.

Since each round is short, it didn’t take long to watch all the videos.

I raised my head slightly and opened my mouth.

“Sohee-ya.”

“Yeah?”

“Aren’t you uncomfortable? It would be more comfortable to come down to the side and watch.”

If she was putting her full weight on my body, I don’t know, but Sohee, who was supporting her weight with her arms and knees, looked quite tired.

I could see it in the reflection in the window even now.

That Sohee’s face was flushed red.

Her arm that came down next to me was also trembling slightly.

Sohee was definitely struggling.

“No. This position is comfortable for me.”

“You look tired?”

“I’m not tired.”

I looked at Sohee worriedly.

What if she gets tired and collapses on top of me?

If that happens, Sohee’s big breasts might mercilessly press down on my head and my face might be buried in the blanket.

“Um…”

“Let’s watch the next one quickly.”

“Ah. Yeah.”

But unlike Sohee’s words that she was okay, Sohee got more tired as time went on.

Trembling arms, flushed cheeks, heavy breathing.

I could know everything because she was stuck right behind me.

“If you’re tired, come down…”

“I’m not tired…!”

“No… Your face is red…?”

“It’s hot… It’s because it’s hot.”

In the end, Sohee didn’t come down until Ellie arrived.

What was she thinking, insisting on that position?

It was a high school girl’s sensibility that I couldn’t understand.
