Kim Tae-yeon's worries were the kind that commonly arise between Awakened and non-Awakened couples.
That shady bastard Kang Seo-jun, since they've been dating for a while, he seemed to be wanting to take things to the next level, and Kim Tae-yeon was worried about it.
If she messed up and couldn't control her power, Kang Seo-jun would be kicking the bucket for sure.
It's one thing if it were a low-ranked Awakened, but Kim Tae-yeon was a Hunter nearing A-Rank.
The difference was too great for a guy like Kang Seo-jun, who doesn't even exercise, to withstand.
Well, even though she's a ranged type, so she's a bit weaker physically, it's still not a body that a normal person can handle.
No matter how much Kim Tae-yeon controlled her power, you never knew what might happen in an unexpected situation.
She might unconsciously use Mana if she got startled suddenly.
Especially when getting intimate, that's the most dangerous time.
Even just with our girls, the inside of their vaginas gets hot or cold due to the influence of Mana.
If a normal person's thing went into a place like that, well, I don't need to say that something bad would happen.
'But. I'm pissed?'
He should be grateful that Kim Tae-yeon is even hanging out with him, yet he's trying to cross the line.
Plus, the fact that Kim Tae-yeon is seriously worrying about that kind of thing was also bothering me.
Or is it that Tae-yeon doesn't want to, but he's pestering her?
"So. I don't know what to do."
Why is she telling me this kind of story?
It doesn't seem like an easy topic to talk about.
Should I see it as she trusts me that much, or does it have another meaning?
"Kim Si-woo?"
"Hmm..? Where did I leave off?"
"What do you think I should do?"
"Of course, absolutely not."
Kim Tae-yeon was destined to be my woman.
She's not a woman I can hand over to a bum like Kang Seo-jun.
"You know this too, but Kang Seo-jun? That guy is a normal person. You're an Awakened."
"That's right."
"If you accidentally throw a punch, you never know what might happen to that guy."
"Definitely... I'm being as careful as possible because of that."
"Good job."
She just needs to keep being careful like she has been, so why is she even worrying about it?
"Can't you just stay the way you are? Is there a need to take the risk?"
"I think so too... but he's anxious, like something's wrong."
"Hmm..?"
Has Kim Tae-yeon changed?
She's gotten a bit closer to me, but can that bastard see it?
Well, he's been with Kim Tae-yeon for longer than I have, so he might notice even subtle differences.
He probably knows that she's not the right woman for him, so he's feeling anxious about those changes.
'Awakened people should date other Awakened people, Seo-jun-ah.'
If Kang Seo-jun truly cares about Kim Tae-yeon, he would cleanly give up and hand her over to me; that's what you'd call true love.
Is there a reason why female Awakened people accept polygamy?
There are too many restrictions between normal people and Awakened people, so they're making a more rational choice.
I wish Kim Tae-yeon would realize that soon.
'No. Can't I use this?'
Shouldn't I become the practice partner?
"Then try training."
"Training?"
"If you get used to it, can't you reduce the chance of an accident?"
"You mean get used to it? How..."
"Like this?"
I put my arm around Kim Tae-yeon's shoulder and pulled her into my embrace.
She flinched and almost threw a punch, but compared to before, she definitely seemed less resistant.
One of my hands slightly touched her chest, but she didn't push me away strongly.
Looks like continuing the breast massage helped.
"What are you doing?"
"If you don't want an accident to happen, you have to practice like this beforehand. If you get used to it, it'll be okay, right?"
"You're saying practice...?"
"Yeah. I'll help you."
"..."
Kim Tae-yeon's expression seemed lost in thought.
"Well, we've already seen each other at our worst. I can help you as much as you want."
She even peed in front of me, so shouldn't she be used to this by now?
"Th..that's true, but..."
Well, I don't like that she's practicing for Kang Seo-jun, but isn't it possible that she'll be doing bride training and then become my bride?
"Aren't you dating Kang Min-ji?"
"Huh?"
"I know you're more than just friends..."
"Th..that's why it's even better, isn't it? It's a purely helpful gesture."
"...Do you think I'm an idiot? Well... haa. Yeah, you're the only one I could ask for such a favor."
Isn't it valuable enough that she's even starting to seriously consider it?
Well, we'll start lightly, do some massages, and later, I'll even take her virginity.
"Let's think about that later and eat first."
While we were distracted by talking, the appetizer was already on the table.
I think she said something earlier, it looked like a type of porridge.
"Well... okay."
*
"Are you really okay with this?"
"I..I should at least repay you this much."
She seems not okay, judging by her trembling hands.
It was quite expensive, but the food was very satisfying.
It wasn't just expensive; the portions were also generous, so it didn't feel ridiculously overpriced.
I heard that Omakase is supposed to be eaten until you're almost full, but here, you could eat until you were completely stuffed.
You could say it's perfect for Awakened people with great appetites.
The taste of juicy meat melting in your mouth.
Plus, it tasted even better because I was eating it with Tae-yeon's money, not mine.
Anyway, if you eat a meal, you have to eat dessert.
We came to a hotel for dessert.
"Huu... I don't know if this is the right thing to do."
"It's better than an accident, right?"
"That's true, but..."
To get straight to the point, she agreed to practice getting used to skinship.
Even though it was an accident, she already had the experience of being touched, so she didn't seem that resistant.
So, that means I can legally touch her now.
'Well, I shouldn't be too blatant about it.'
I dragged the hesitant Kim Tae-yeon towards the bed.
"Wa..wait. I'm not planning on going that far..."
"What are you thinking? We're just going to lie down."
I want to say that if we've already come to a hotel together, it's game over, but you can get indigestion if you try to eat everything too quickly.
I dragged the half-resisting Kim Tae-yeon and lay down on the bed together.
I suppressed my desire to devour her right away and gently gave her a pillow arm.
"This is going too fast..."
"We have to start with just being close. I'm not going to do anything, so don't worry."
"Even so..."
Kim Tae-yeon looked at me with a subtle expression. She's not struggling, so she must be pretty comfortable.
It's not like I haven't done this once or twice; you could say I'm a skilled pillow arm provider.
Plus, the Incubus pheromone effect will stabilize her heart.
There's a reason why Min-ji likes to sleep close to me.
"Are you uncomfortable?"
"Not really... not anything like that."
"That's a relief then."
When a man and a woman are in the same room, lying on the same bed, it's definitely time for sex.
To have food in front of me and not be able to eat it, is this what they call a pie in the sky?
Usually, when we're like this, I feel better if I at least rub her breasts.
"Ugh... didn't you say you weren't going to do anything?"
When I came to my senses, I was unknowingly fondling Kim Tae-yeon's breasts.
"Um... pr..practice? It's for practice."
Compared to Min-ji or Da-eun, they're lacking, but you could say they're breasts that are fun to touch because they have some volume.
As I was fondling them, Kim Tae-yeon slapped my hand away.
"How long are you going to keep touching them?"
"No. If we're going to practice, we have to keep going."
"Didn't you say you weren't going to do anything?"
How can I resist when there's a marshmallow in front of me?
I wanted to touch them more, but I had no choice but to stop because Kim Tae-yeon's eyes were so sharp.
It's a shame, but I should be satisfied that she's not getting angry even with this.
"Don't you feel like you're getting used to it?"
"Don't you think you're being shameless, Kim Si-woo?"
"Hmm. Hmm. Still, don't you feel like it's helping you practice?"
"Really. You leave me speechless."
Kim Tae-yeon said that and glared at me with a dumbfounded expression.
I should stop touching her breasts around here.
Well, if I keep touching them whenever I get the chance, she won't care as much as Min-ji later.
And then we'll have sex, and that'll be that.
"You shouldn't practice with anyone else but me. You've only just gotten used to it, so if you do it with someone else, you might go back to square one."
You should only practice with me. It's unlikely, but you wouldn't do it with anyone else but me, right?
"That won't happen. Who would I even do something like this with in the first place?"
"Yeah. Just do it with me."
Judging by her attitude, it didn't seem likely that she would allow another guy to touch her.
The problem is Kang Seo-jun; I can't let her allow that bastard either.
"Haa... You definitely said you'd stop...!"
I suddenly touched her chest, and I blocked the punch that was half flying at me with my other hand.
She's the type to throw a punch without realizing it when she's surprised. It's okay for me, but if it were Kang Seo-jun, he probably would've gone to the afterlife.
"Look. You're reacting like this even now. What would have happened if the normal person Kang Seo-jun had done it?"
This is all for Kang Seo-jun's sake.
"..."
"So, you're only doing it with me until you get used to it. That includes Kang Seo-jun."
"Isn't it because you suddenly touched me...?"
"That's usually how you touch someone suddenly. You don't say you're going to touch them and then touch them."
"I think Seo-jun would ask for permission..."
"That ba.. I mean, Kang Seo-jun might do that at first, but he'll suddenly touch you like this later on? Then what's going to happen?"
Well, it's not bad if he goes to the afterlife like that, but only I can touch Kim Tae-yeon's breasts.
It's not right for that shady guy to touch them.
Because that's what I decided.
"I get it. Just take your hand off..."
"If you touch me more... Okay. I won't touch you anymore."
