## Chapter 46 – Affection
[Your Stamina has increased by 0.1 as a bonus for achieving S rank.]
‘Stamina increases?’
This was completely unexpected.
A route to increase stats like in an RPG game existed?
I hurriedly opened my status window, and a decimal place that wasn’t there before had indeed appeared.
+
〈Status Window〉
Name: Jung Woojin
Strength: 10
Agility: 11
Stamina: 11.1
Physical Resistance: 8%
+
“Woojin, what’s wrong? Are you sick?”
“Ah, it’s nothing.”
I calmed my surprised heart and moved to carry water again.
‘It wouldn’t be a one-time bonus, would it?’
Fortunately, after carrying water continuously, that wasn’t the case.
However, there was a minor trick.
What trick, you ask?
What could be considered a trick in an RPG game?
[You have been granted an additional 5 points as a bonus for achieving S rank.]
‘It was probability?’
Right, it wasn’t always given. It felt like it was given about once every two or three times.
5 points when it’s a miss.
If you’re lucky, Stamina stat +0.1
I wanted to know the probability more accurately, so I upgraded the daily quest count additionally, but….
[Upgrade successful. You will now be given 10 daily quests per day.]
[You have reached the maximum upgrade level and cannot upgrade further.]
I couldn’t upgrade further as I reached the maximum upgrade level.
‘Well, it’s a shame, but 10 times a day is still good.’
Either way, haven’t I found a way to increase my Stamina stat?
If I receive a Stamina bonus three or four times a day, my Stamina stat will increase by 1 every three days.
Since my Stamina has only decreased by 2 in about two weeks, my Stamina will naturally increase just by consistently completing daily quests.
To put it extremely, if I also manage my Stamina well, it means I can increase my Stamina by 10 in a month.
‘Since my current Stamina is 11.1, even if I only raise it by 10 from here, it’ll be double my current Stamina.’
That’s definitely not a small number.
Even if my Stamina doesn’t actually double, that’s what it would be if you only look at the numbers.
I stroked my chin.
‘That’s all well and good, and I’ve found a way to replenish my lost Stamina, but the other kids in the class must have lost a lot of Stamina.’
Even if not the girls, the guys would be even worse off because they’re having sex every day.
They’re not eating properly, so the Stamina loss would be directly hitting their bodies.
‘It’s good for me, though. It makes things easier.’
Anyway, before I knew it, the water-carrying task was over.
Whether it was because I lacked strength or not, my arms and waist felt slightly weary.
“Good job, Woojin.”
“How’s your back, Master? Are you okay?”
The women approached, saying I worked really hard, wiping my sweat, and massaging me here and there, asking if my body was okay.
You might think it’s an overreaction for just carrying 300 bottles of water, but this harsh island environment was significantly depleting our physical abilities.
‘It’s a good thing I bought water in the middle and completed the quest, or I might have collapsed if I had carried 400 bottles from the first day.’
Is that why?
Seohee Jung approached and firmly grabbed my shoulder.
“Honestly, I didn’t think you’d actually do it.”
She said, looking at me with a complicated expression.
“When you said you wanted to learn how to fight, I thought it was a joke at first. But to actually carry all this alone in this heat….”
Surprise, admiration, and regret rose on Seohee Jung’s face as she silently looked at the 300 bottles of 2kg water.
“I realized how serious you were. Or maybe you were always serious, but I always treated you with prejudice. Thinking you might have some other ulterior motive.”
“…….”
“It might sound like an excuse, but there have often been people who approached me, Yuri, and Yejin with other intentions. I thought you were one of those people too.”
So that’s how it was.
That must be why her expression darkened when I asked her to teach me how to fight.
“I’m sorry for making you do something strange because I suspected your sincerity.”
Seohee Jung bowed deeply in apology. Quite respectfully and precisely.
I stopped her, who was bowing nearly 90 degrees.
“No. You didn’t do anything wrong.”
In fact, Seohee Jung hadn’t done anything wrong.
“I felt that my Stamina was lacking, and I thought your opinion made enough sense. So I followed it, and if there’s any fault, it’s with me for following you without suspicion.”
The fault was with me.
“We’re already adults. We’re at an age where we judge for ourselves and take responsibility for ourselves. Deciding to carry the water was something I decided and judged for myself.”
This was a decision I made.
Something I created, and now something I had to finish.
I said, looking down at my throbbing arms.
“Saying I needed Stamina and that Stamina should be the foundation of fighting, you only said the truth, right?”
“That’s true, but I suspected you….”
“Then it’s fine. You don’t need to apologize. You pointed out what I lacked, and I believed it to be true. That’s all that matters.”
Then Seohee Jung made a very apologetic expression. She narrowed her brows and bit her lip.
Seohee Jung, who had only been suspicious until now.
Me, who had only shown trust until now.
The gap was causing her pain. The actions she had shown me in the past were tormenting her.
Having seen her struggling in pain enough, I patted Seohee Jung’s shoulder.
Without saying anything else, I just said one thing.
“Above all, thinking complicatedly isn’t my style.”
“Ah.”
Seohee Jung’s eyes widened. And then she smiled faintly.
“…Right. You were that kind of kid, Woojin. Not suspecting, and even if the other person shows malice, you just shake it off and trust them, a good guy.”
Hoo. Seohee Jung, who exhaled a long breath, smiled pleasantly at me with a much clearer face.
“I understand. Then I won’t apologize. Instead, I’ll shake off all minor suspicions and trust you. I’ll trust you completely.”
Complete trust. The virtue that is absolutely necessary between a master and a disciple might be just that.
That’s what I want from her as well.
I smiled back at Seohee Jung, who was smiling brightly.
‘Let me say again, Seohee Jung, you didn’t do anything wrong. Your insight was all accurate. I was making a move to get laid.’
But as I just said, we’re adults. We’re at an age where we take responsibility for our own actions.
‘So you don’t need to apologize. I won’t apologize either.’
That being said, her intuition is amazing. To be able to accurately grasp my inner thoughts.
Honestly, it was chilling. It was momentarily terrifying. I realized I had been gambling dangerously without even knowing it.
‘But the result is a huge success.’
The castle gate was wide open. Seohee Jung, who recognized me as an ally, opened the tightly locked door and welcomed me.
I had finally succeeded in entering the palace beyond the outer and inner walls.
Now, all that’s left is to wait for the right moment and push into the bedroom where Seohee Jung is.
‘Then shall we begin the final operation in earnest?’
“Please take good care of me, Master.”
“The path of learning won’t be easy. Be prepared.”
That’s how our master-disciple relationship began.
Talking, training, sparring….
Among them, the most difficult was sparring.
“Your flank is open!”
“Kuuk.”
Seohee Jung’s fighting style was a bit dirty. It had a strong back-alley feel.
To be exact, it had a strong practical feel.
As a result, there were many cases where we rubbed our sweaty bodies against each other.
“Not paying attention? It’s easy to apply a technique if you stand like that. If I apply a leg sweep like this and go into a hold-“
Just as I thought my body was slightly floating, I was lying on the sand with a thud.
‘Ha, haha.’
Honestly, it was hard to concentrate. Even in the midst of the chaos, I could clearly feel Seohee Jung’s large breasts pressing against various parts of my body.
Because she said she didn’t want to get her windbreaker dirty, she was sparring in only a sports bra and panties, so when our bodies touched, I could immediately feel the softness and movement vividly.
‘Ugh. Let’s focus. This is dangerous.’
I struggled to shake off the urge to get an erection and immediately jumped up from my spot.
I sang the national anthem in my head. To reduce the tension in my dick.
‘Stop going down. Not yet.’
I shook my head frantically from side to side, desperately trying to focus.
When I regained my focus and looked up, Seohee Jung was looking at me as if I was admirable.
“You don’t have talent, but you have perseverance. That’s the best thing. Perseverance that doesn’t give up.”
“…….”
“Now, come right in.”
Like this, we grew closer by communicating with our bodies several times a day.
Seohee Jung also poured affection into me to an unrecognizable extent compared to before, and what I realized now was that she really liked people who worked hard.
“Are we starting right away as soon as I arrive?”
When I carried water around the evening to complete the daily quest, she would make a deeply moved expression.
I had never seen Seohee Jung so happy.
Is that why?
“Lie down. I’ll loosen your muscles.”
At the end of the day, she would personally massage and rub various parts of my body with her hands.
Thanks to that, there were some difficult situations.
“It’s tight here?”
“Ah, uh-huh.”
I could endure everything else with the national anthem, but when she pressed and loosened the sides of my groin, right next to my crotch, my dick would immediately get hard.
“Hoo. Look at this. You’re getting an erection in front of your master?”
Seohee Jung flicked her middle finger and playfully tapped my thing.
The boundaries between us had almost disappeared, and we were constantly crossing them.
Now, ordinary daily conversations and jokes were basic.
“Ah, why do I keep my hair short? Because it’s a hassle to manage. I tried growing it long and they kept nagging me to go to the hair salon every day. So after that, I started keeping it short like this.”
She also talked about herself fluently.
After the day’s work was over, we would sit with our feet in the water and talk to each other naked.
‘Even though she’s already used to my naked body from disinfecting… doesn’t she see me too much as a non-sexual being?’
I sometimes thought that, but when I saw Seohee Jung’s naked body, those thoughts immediately disappeared.
Firm muscles. A body without any excess fat. Well-proportioned arms and legs.
Her arms and legs had muscles, but they weren’t thick, just thin and moderate.
Her body had an overall slender feel.
Instead, her breasts were bulging like rocket warheads, and the elasticity that shook every time she moved was no joke.
Did she get implants? Enough to make you suspicious.
‘And what about her lower body?’
Her thighs were strong and her butt was incredibly big.
Even a duck’s butt wouldn’t be that big.
She even had clear abs on her stomach. And her waist was as small as an ant’s.
Literally the best body.
I had never seen a body like that among Koreans.
Seohee Jung actually had the unrealistic body that Westerners often show in adult media.
‘Her arms and legs and stomach are so thin, but her breasts and butt are so big. It’s literally a fantasy body.’
But the most interesting thing is one place.
“Woojin?”
“Uh-huh?”
“What are you staring at so intently?”
When I came to my senses, I was sticking my face into Seohee Jung’s crotch and looking.
“Ah, sorry. I was just curious because the hair there is red.”
“I’m curious because your hair is black. Black, what a lewd color, don’t you think?”
“…….”
Anyway, she had no shyness. Her personality was easygoing.
When I first saw her, I thought she was some kind of Terminator, so emotionless and cold, but when I got to know her, I realized she was the type to take care of you and even joke around.
‘Now it feels like she thinks of me as a younger brother.’
She ruffled my hair like a younger brother and playfully grabbed and pulled my cheeks.
The important thing is that all those actions contained affection.
‘Now it feels like she’ll forgive me even if I cross the line by mistake or something.’
A stage where she can’t bring herself to push me away, even if she harbors affection and resentment.
I finally sensed that I had reached that level.
