chapter 16
Click.
They had passed through a dimly lit hallway and entered the motel room. Stains marred the walls, and the bed sheets were nearly gray. Under normal circumstances, Eun-seol would have seriously considered breaking up with any boyfriend who brought her to such a room.
"It's just about proving a point, anyway."
Why had she ended up here alone with Hyun-woo? She disliked being swept up by him like this.
Thump -
Hyun-woo had carelessly sat down on the grayish bed sheet. Hesitant to sit because of the unhygienic bed cover, Eun-seol stood stiffly next to the bed, watching Hyun-woo.
"Um... let's quickly check and leave."
Eun-seol had been eager to leave the musty motel room as soon as possible. At her urging, Hyun-woo had looked up at her.
Her legs appeared even more slender because of the high heels. The contours of her slim ankles and calves, toned from Pilates, led up to a tennis skirt so short it almost revealed her underwear. Her abdomen was defined by sharp obliques, visible beneath a tightly fitted crop top that accentuated her bust line, leading down to her full hips.
"Truly, that figure is a masterpiece."
This had been Hyun-woo’s honest assessment as he admired Eun-seol standing close. Although slender, her bust was not small. He guessed she might be a B cup.
"You need to come closer for me to check, Deputy Eun."
At Hyun-woo's invitation, Eun-seol had slowly stepped closer to where he was seated on the bed. As she had approached, their knees slightly touched. Despite her fierce glare at Hyun-woo, a slight trembling could be felt from her body as she got closer.
"How cute."
He had reached out, his hands brushing her smooth abdomen. The warm, soft skin had filled his hands.
"Uh..."
"There’s no need to touch... It’s all visible."
Swoosh -
Taking note of Eun-seol’s comment, Hyun-woo's hands had swiftly moved from her abdomen downwards. His hands had glided over her slim waist to her ample hips. Due to her short skirt, his hands quickly reached the bare skin of her thighs.
"Now to check... Ah! What are you doing?!"
Seizing the moment while she spoke, Hyun-woo's hands had grasped her buttocks. If Seo Jin-ah's skin was as soft as tofu, Eun-seol's hips had been as bouncy as a well-toned exercise ball.
"Heh, you mentioned butt padding, Deputy Eun? I’m just confirming."
Chastised by Eun-seol previously for suggesting Seo Jin-ah's figure was artificially enhanced, Hyun-woo had taken this opportunity to tease her mercilessly. His hands kneading her buttocks caused her tennis skirt to ride up, briefly revealing her flesh-colored panties.
"More plain than I expected for underwear."
Just as Eun-seol was about to scream at him to stop, Hyun-woo's hands had expertly retracted at the perfect moment.
"Uh...uh."
Flushed with embarrassment and anger, Eun-seol had stammered.
"Now we’ve checked, haven't we? I’ve never worn enhancing underwear. Really, this is humiliating..."
She had regained her composure, relieved that the ordeal was over. But then—
"What about the top?"
"..."
Hyun-woo’s comment had left her blushing and speechless once more. He had stood up, now looking down at her. His hands reached towards the crop top covering her chest.
"Uh."
Grasping the fabric over her breasts, Hyun-woo had commented playfully.
"Hmm... hard to tell with the clothing in the way, right?"
"What...what are you saying?"
"Who knows? You could be hiding padding inside as well."
In a precarious position, Hyun-woo's teasing had pushed Eun-seol to the edge. Though she wanted to flee, resolving his doubts completely was necessary, or it would feel like a loss.
Under normal circumstances, she would never tolerate this, but now, unable to escape the intensified desire to impress him generated by the work system, she had hesitated.
Thud -
"Yikes!"
Interpreting Eun-seol’s silence as consent, Hyun-woo had skillfully unhooked her bra through the crop top. His rough hands then plunged towards her bare chest. The outline of his fingers pressing into her flesh had been starkly visible through the fabric of her shirt, making her shiver with humiliation.
"Ah...ah..."
Although they can't compare to Seo Jin-ah's D-cups, the resilient breasts that fill one hand provide a different kind of pleasure.
"Hmm... There's no foreign feeling inside, and they're resilient. They're definitely real, definitely real."
He feels the touch deep inside Eunsul's breast, applying pressure with his fingertips.
"Eek!"
From within the crop top, Hyunwoo's hands, having thoroughly played with her breasts, finally flick the resilient nipple before pulling away.
"Haah... Haah..."
Eunsul tried to maintain an expressionless poker face, but it was hard to hold back her breaths after being teased on her buttocks and breasts. Her cheeks flushed, and under the crop top, a nude bra that matched her panties was partially exposed, provoking Hyunwoo's gaze, accompanied by her ragged breathing.
"Phew. I just want to throw myself at her."
His member was already standing erect. However, Hyunwoo barely manages to control his desire.
"Not yet... not yet."
That's enough for today. This much is just right.
"You're right, as you say. I must acknowledge, Ms. Eunsul's figure."
"Of course. Why would I wear shapewear? It's beneath my dignity. Then cancel it. The comment that I'm inferior to Seo Jin-ah."
"I'll take it back. That comment. It was a perfect slip of the tongue."
"Hmph. You should compare what can be compared."
As if nothing happened, Eunsul looks at Hyunwoo with a proud gaze instead of embarrassment. Her lips almost curve upwards, trying to restrain herself, but the muscles on her expressionless face slightly tremble.
"She's easier to read than I thought."
At the motel, Eunsul, not even the girlfriend of the man teasing her buttocks and breasts, could not hide her pleasure. Hyunwoo felt like bowing down to the creator of the work system.
"Now that we've finished our business, shall we get something to eat?"
"Hmph, I don't eat just anything. Especially high-calorie junk food like hamburgers."
"I'm going to Burger Queen. Then let's part ways."
"Tch... Then I guess I'll just have an Americano since I've lost my appetite. What... What are you doing? Hurry up and lead the way."
"Such pride she has. Truly remarkable."
Eunsul, apparently not yet wanting to part with Hyunwoo, boldly accepts his suggestion.
Thus, they left the old motel room, ate burgers, and even watched a movie at the cinema before parting late in the evening. Naturally, it was an action movie that Hyunwoo had wanted to see. Eunsul dismissed it as just loud and confusing, but she stayed until the end.
She thought it wasn't a bad day, despite the embarrassing and humiliating contact.
Afterward, Hyunwoo would call Eunsul to spend time together whenever he was bored. Initially, the purpose was to see how much [desire] Eunsul had, which was amplified by the system, to look good for Lee Hyunwoo.
"You're going to a PC café? We're not children. No... no, why are you so rushed? Maybe it wouldn't hurt to try it once for the experience."
"Is that fun? Everyone just stares at the monitor and curses. Why do they even do it?"
Eunsul, visiting a PC café for the first time, asks about various things out of curiosity. However, when Hyunwoo focused on the game, she got bored and kept looking at her smartphone instead. Thanks to a considerable number of followers, her app continuously buzzed with notifications.
"Ms. Lee! Uh... what are you... what are you watching here?"
Then, accidentally glancing at Hyunwoo's monitor, she barely managed to stifle a scream with her hand. Of course, he was searching for outfits to wear at a [private meeting] with Seo Jin-ah.
Undergarments that seemed incapable of functioning due to gaping holes, and a mesh slip dress that was see-through—event costumes that no ordinary shopping mall would ever sell filled the monitor with their erotic allure.
"Well... I'll have a girlfriend someday, won't I? Can't I look at adult products too? I'm an adult, after all."
"That's the worst... really, Ms. Lee, you're the worst. I don't know how you function in everyday life."
Eunsul grimaced, frowning heavily at Hyunwoo's brazen words, yet despite her facial expression and words, she gritted her teeth and sat next to him in the PC café until he was ready to leave.
The next time Eunsul called was at a comic book store.
"Haah... comics? Your taste is really low."
Following the PC café, they went to a comic book store. Not a trendy 'comic book café' that had become popular as a date spot recently, but a dingy comic book store located underground. Worn leather sofas, dusty bookshelves, and the majority of the comics were adult material, teeming with middle-aged men.
"Ugh..."
Eunsul, noticeable even on the street, seemed to have exerted too much effort thinking it was a date, attracting the gaze of all the men in the comic book store.
"What... what is this place?"
Feeling the overt stares of the middle-aged men crawling over her skin like snakes, among them was a familiar face—the motel owner who had leered at her obscenely at the counter when she had gone with Hyunwoo. His persistent gaze remained the same, whether Eunsul glared back or not.
"Why did you bring me to a place like this?"
Passing the unpleasant gazes, she finds Hyunwoo amidst the middle-aged men, looking at adult comics, and she sighs in relief.
"People come to a comic book store to read comics. Is there any other reason?"
"..."
At Hyunwoo's matter-of-fact reply, Eunsul finds herself at a loss for words. The cover of the comic he was looking at was obviously not a normal comic. Reluctantly maintaining her pride, Eunsul forces herself to sit calmly next to Hyunwoo and randomly picks a few books from the shelf to sit on the sofa. The touch of the worn cheap faux leather on her legs is unpleasant, but she shows no sign of it outwardly.
"Ah... haah..."
But her poker face collapses the moment she carelessly opens a comic book filled with explicit sexual content. She hurriedly turns the pages, but every page is the same.
Eunsul had seen pornography a few times over someone's shoulder during her teenage years, but this was her first experience with adult comics. Involuntarily, her face flushed hotly.
"Oh, Ms. Lee, is that your taste?"
Hyunwoo, observing her, chuckles and remarks. Angry at his teasing, Eunsul snaps, slamming the comic book down on the table. Whether from embarrassment or anger, her face remains flushed for a while.
Of course, even in the comic book store, Eunsul did not leave first; she waited until Hyunwoo was ready to leave.
****
Perhaps it's because Hyunwoo has been taking Eunsul around to PC cafes and comic book stores as a way to pass the time.
