"Hiiiik!!"
With an unsightly scream, a man jolted upright in bed.
The man, drenched in sweat, began to examine his body all over.
As if he'd had a nightmare, the man, breathing heavily, got out of bed and headed for the mirror.
Short for a man, with an unmanly, cute face. Kang Seo-jun sighed as he looked at his sweat-soaked reflection.
"Again... it's that dream again..."
Recalling the day he was suddenly kidnapped by a Villain while heading home peacefully, Kang Seo-jun trembled without realizing it.
What if something like that happens again? He kept trembling with an unknown anxiety.
If Kim Tae-yeon were here beside him at times like this, he wouldn't be scared. He wanted to see Kim Tae-yeon's face, with her boyish personality and indifferent expression.
Her sturdy, well-developed legs and shapely hip line, and those bouncy buttocks he wanted to grope right away.
Thinking of Kim Tae-yeon, he felt blood rushing to his lower region without realizing it.
"..."
Could it be because he had a dream of half-dying in a nightmare? Or is his libido acting up strongly due to his survival instinct?
The thought of Kim Tae-yeon's cool beauty made him feel unbearable.
Kang Seo-jun picked up a pillow and climbed on top of it. A pillow much smaller than himself.
Unlike Kim Tae-yeon, who is much taller than him, it felt like she could fit in his arms at once.
'It would be nice if this were Tae-yeon...'
He closed his eyes, thought of Kim Tae-yeon, and began to rub his waist. His waist movements were clumsy because he had no experience yet.
In Kang Seo-jun's imagination, Kim Tae-yeon, whose usual cool demeanor had disappeared, was looking at him with a pleading expression.
"Tae-yeon-ah... Tae-yeon-ah... Tae-yeon-ah...!"
While he was shaking his waist diligently, the door suddenly burst open.
"Uwaaak?!"
"What's going on?"
"Why... why are you here?"
"Oh my. I thought our Seo-jun was sleeping, so I didn't wake you, but you're already up?"
He was glad he was wearing clothes; if he hadn't been, he shuddered at the thought of what kind of disaster might have happened.
Even so, he couldn't just show off his hardened member as it was. He hid his average-sized package and looked at his mother and Kim Tae-yeon.
"Uh... why is Tae-yeon at our house from this early in the morning?"
"I came because I had something to give you. Are you feeling okay?"
"Oh... yeah. I'm okay, Tae-yeon-ah..."
"You look feverish. And you seem to have sweated a lot."
Kim Tae-yeon was about to put her hand on his forehead, and it was rare for Kim Tae-yeon to approach him first, but he was too embarrassed because his lower region was erect.
He pushed away Kim Tae-yeon's worried-looking hand and shouted.
"I'm... I'm okay, so get out first! I... I need to shower."
"...Okay."
"Hey! Why are you yelling at Tae-yeon! Just hurry up and come out!"
As soon as he heard the door closing, regret and shame began to wash over him.
'If only I had locked the door...!'
Who would have known that Kim Tae-yeon would visit his house so early in the morning?
He got out of bed and looked in the mirror, and his hair was a mess. Plus, his slightly swollen eyes made him look even uglier.
Showing her this appearance was a problem, but the biggest problem was that he had rejected Kim Tae-yeon's touch.
They hadn't been dating for long, and they had only held hands. He had missed an opportunity to get closer like this.
'Idiot... you fucking idiot!!'
Kim Tae-yeon was already so aloof, and she was trying not to have any skinship because of what happened in the past.
'Ah...'
It was too late to regret it.
...
Kim Tae-yeon thought of Kang Seo-jun, who had rejected her touch.
Seeing him push her hand away with a surprised look, he must be remembering what happened in the past.
Having been together since they were young, it was only natural that they would play pranks on each other. Of course, Kang Seo-jun rarely played pranks compared to other guys.
Anyway, after becoming an Awakened, she suddenly appeared behind Kang Seo-jun, intending to surprise him.
It was just a light prank. It was common for friends to surprise each other.
It wasn't intentional, and her body just moved reflexively. She might have been more edgy because she had been ambushed once in those days.
Maybe it was because of training, but she immediately attacked Kang Seo-jun. She managed to stop somehow in the middle, but the shock was still there.
No matter how weakly she attacked, Kang Seo-jun was just an ordinary person. How could he withstand the body of an Awakened like her?
He ended up in the hospital because of that incident, and she couldn't help but be careful when dealing with Kang Seo-jun after that day.
'I guess... he hasn't forgotten what happened that day.'
Kang Seo-jun reacted violently when she tried to touch his forehead. After that incident, he had almost attacked her several times when she suddenly made skinship, so that kind of reaction might have been natural.
She didn't know that she would have such a rejection reaction to a man's touch.
At least now she was used to holding hands, but anything more than that was a problem.
'But... I was okay when I was with Kim Si-woo.'
When she was flying in Kim Si-woo's arms back then, she felt strangely okay.
Maybe it was because she was focused on the battle and her reaction was delayed, or maybe it was because she felt strangely stable.
'Should I ask Kim Si-woo for help...?'
Wouldn't it be impudent to ask for help again when she hadn't even properly thanked him?
"..."
"Tae-yeon-ah... what... what is this?"
While she was lost in thought, she heard her mother's voice.
"It's the profit from the last class. It should be enough to put out the immediate fire."
That was also thanks to Kim Si-woo listening to her stubbornness. Come to think of it, she had received too much help from Kim Si-woo.
"Th... this much... big money... Tae-yeon-ah. We can't accept this money. So, take it back."
"..."
She knew they wouldn't accept it, so she hid it on purpose, but she didn't expect it to be discovered so easily.
"I'm okay. I even got a scout offer from the Atra Guild this time."
"Still, we can't. How can we..."
"It's nothing compared to what you've helped me with. Just accept it."
"Tae-yeon-ah! Why are you really doing this!"
If it were someone else, they would have taken the money right away, but her mother was such a kind person.
After several arguments, she managed to hand over the money with the promise that they would receive it later.
Considering the help she had received since she was a child, this was not enough, but it would be enough to put out the immediate fire.
'I still need to go into the Dungeon.'
The license was the problem. If that was resolved, she could start earning money right away.
Come to think of it, Kim Si-woo said that she might be able to get a temporary license.
'Tsk...'
She was thinking of asking for another favor when she hadn't even properly thanked him. She thought she should meet Kim Si-woo sometime and treat him properly.

「Are you free this weekend?」
'What's wrong with Kim Tae-yeon? She's contacting me first.'
They exchanged messages occasionally, but I was usually the one who contacted her first.
Even then, she was often late in replying because of training. I didn't expect her to contact me first from this early in the morning.
「I'm free on the weekend. What's up?」
「I want to repay you. Is there any food you like?」
「Tonkatsu and Jjolmyeon?」
I remembered the food that Kim Tae-yeon used to eat often and replied, but she didn't reply for a long time.
Could her taste have changed in the meantime?
「...Haa. It would be faster to ask if there's anything you dislike. Is there any food you dislike?」
「There's nothing I particularly dislike.」
I can eat almost anything. Well, I'm not confident about foods like stinky tofu that sometimes appear on NewTube, but she probably doesn't like that kind of thing.
「Okay. Come to the meeting place at 11 a.m. on Saturday.」
Kim Tae-yeon sent it as if she was just notifying me as soon as I said I was okay. She was definitely the type to only exchange what was necessary.
She's a woman, but I guess you could say she feels like a man.
「Okay.」
「Okay. See you then.」
「Oh, right. Be careful because that guy Kang Ju-ji escaped from prison.」
「I saw it on the news. Thanks for your concern.」
After sending the message, I stretched once.
Come to think of it, I feel like I've been neglecting training lately. It's better to prepare in case something happens.
It would be great if nothing happened, but I have a jinx that something always happens when I feel uneasy.
"Hmm... there's still quite a bit of time until the first class."
I woke up early and went to school right away, but since it was so early, there was no one in the classroom.
Normally, Min-ji and Seo-ah, and Jeong Soo-ah, who subtly keeps her distance, should be around.
Being alone like this made me feel a little lonely.
"I want to fuck Mother-in-law again."
Seo-ah's mother-nim had a fresh feeling, which I liked.
Maybe it's because I have almost no experience, but it was fun to dye her with my colors.
Plus, she follows Seo-ah in everything she doesn't know, and as you know, Seo-ah is already covered in my touch.
Following Seo-ah means that she will automatically be trained.
Well, not everything was like that. She got angry several times, especially when I did ì§ë´ì¬ì . But in the end, I filled her up inside.
Thinking about that day made me feel a little hot, but it's too early, so Min-ah won't be here.
"Tsk."
Should I just go for a light jog? I changed from my school uniform to my workout clothes and headed outside.
It was the time when the sun was just starting to rise, so I couldn't see any other students.
"The air is nice."
Just as I was about to start running to warm up, I spotted a familiar figure from behind.
A slender body with moderate muscles, the woman running while shaking her bouncy buttocks was none other than Instructor Kim Si-young.
'Does she run every morning?'
Come to think of it, I think I saw her running alone last time. Well, it's good to manage your fitness every day.
I naturally followed behind Instructor Kim Si-young. Instructor-nim Kim Si-young turned her head as if she felt my presence.
I want to ask her to do it instead of Min-ah, but I shouldn't, right?
"...?"
"Hello, Instructor-nim."
