## Chapter 77 – How to Reconcile With Your Childhood Friend
They say friends become closer after a fight.
It’s impossible to like everything about a friend. When friends fight, it means something you dislike about them has surfaced, and the fight is a process of either fixing or accepting that aspect.
Whether you fix the problem or accept it, the thing you dislike about your friend eventually disappears. That’s probably why they say friends become closer after a fight.
Let’s apply this process to my relationship with Jung Se-in.
Jung Se-in picked a fight with me because she disliked something about me. That I lied about doing something with her mom when I hadn’t.
But I had my reasons. (Half of them were excuses, though.)
So, I countered by criticizing her attitude, and after a physical fight involving slapping, it ended with Jung Se-in crying.
Typical kids’ fight. Whoever cries first loses.
In our fight, Jung Se-in cried first, so I won.
Actually, I’ve never lost a fight. It’s one of my few boasts. Haha.
“Does it hurt?”
“Ugh…”
Jung Se-in is currently sniffling and clinging to me.
A guy who hugs a crying girl after a fight.
I’ve grown into such a cool guy. Heh.
“It hurt me too.”
“Ugh!”
At my cheeky words, Jung Se-in pinched my side, annoyed.
But whether my senses were numb or not, even that felt good.
Weird. Being pinched feels good. Do I have masochistic tendencies?
“Hehe.”
Jung Se-in, whining, just looked cute to me.
So, I laughed, but Jung Se-in, the one crying, didn’t seem to like it.
Pinching my side wasn’t enough. So, this time, she bit my chest.
Well, it didn’t hurt… it did hurt.
It hurts! It hurts!
“Ow, ow, ow!”
Jung Se-in bit down as if she would devour my nipple.
I quickly pulled her off.
“Eek!”
I rubbed my chest frantically, jumping up and down.
That little brat, she bit so hard my erection almost went away.
Checking the bite mark, there were white teeth marks surrounding my nipple.
“You crazy bitch! My nipple’s gonna fall off!”
“Hmph.”
Jung Se-in sneered at my fuss.
Her eyes were still teary, but she was smiling. She seemed to feel a bit better after biting me hard.
“Well, look at you. Hey, if you laugh when you’re crying, hair will grow on your butt.”
“It won’t!”
“You won’t know until you check.”
“No way!”
Of course, there’s no need to check again. I’ve already confirmed that Jung Se-in doesn’t have hair there.
But if I have an excuse, there’s no reason not to do it again.
“Hehe. Come here!”
“Eek!”
I grabbed Jung Se-in, whose tears hadn’t dried yet, and threw her onto the bed.
She’s so light I could probably lift her with one hand.
“What are you doing!”
Her skirt flipped up, revealing her panties.
My dick, which had been calming down, started throbbing again.
“You said you wouldn’t have sex with me?”
Jung Se-in, lying on the bed, glared at me and shouted.
“Huh? Who?”
“You!”
“Me?”
“Yes! You said you wouldn’t have sex with me anymore, right?”
Come to think of it, I think I did say something like that. It was more like, ‘I’m not playing with you,’ though.
It doesn’t need to be explained, but Jung Se-in is the one who ‘gives’ sex, not me. It’s a statement that doesn’t even make sense.
“Tch. You’re still sulking about that? Like a little girl.”
“I’m sulking. I’m sulking, so I won’t do it.”
She turned her head away as if advertising that she was sulking.
Knowing I was looking at her panties, she covered them up too.
“Okay, okay. My bad. Sorry. So, let’s just do it.”
If we don’t, I’m the only one who loses. So, I decided to give in.
But Jung Se-in didn’t accept my apology so easily.
“No. I don’t know.”
“Come on, I said I’m sorry? Just forgive me once. I won’t do it again.”
“Is saying sorry enough? Then why do we have police?”
“Why do we have them? To protect good people like me, of course.”
I went to the side of the bed and tried to cuddle up, but Jung Se-in completely ignored me.
She wouldn’t even look at me. She was asserting her anger with her whole body.
Hmm….
What is this?
This ticklish feeling.
The inside of my chest tickled, and my nape tingled.
It felt like it was going to curl up, but it wasn’t entirely unpleasant.
It was a strangely pleasant cringe.
“…Hey.”
“What.”
“Look at me.”
“No.”
What should I call this feeling?
Jung Se-in is still ignoring me.
But that attitude just feels strangely cute to me.
Have I finally gone crazy?
“Why are you so cute?”
Twitch.
The corner of Jung Se-in’s mouth, who was pretending to be sulky and ignoring me, lifted slightly.
“What are you talking about?”
Even though she retorted as if it were absurd, she couldn’t hide the joy overflowing from her heart. It was like a puppy wagging its tail unconsciously in front of its owner.
“I’m saying, why are you so cute?”
Even that part felt annoyingly cute.
Damn it. The world is so unfair.
If I were doing that, it would just be disgusting. But if a pretty girl does it, everything looks cute.
I grabbed the face that was still ignoring me with both hands and forcibly turned it around.
Even her face, squished like a sandwich in my hands, felt so cute today.
“What are you do-, mmmph!”
Before the annoyance could burst out from the lips pressed by my hands,
I covered those lips with my own.
It was a forced kiss, not gentle at all. Anyone who saw it would think they could report it to the police. Anyone would see it as a beast forcibly attacking a beauty.
Of course, Jung Se-in wasn’t just passively accepting it. She pushed my stomach with her foot, forcibly separating us.
“Are you crazy? I said I don’t want to! Mmmph!”
Even though I was pushed away once, I rushed back in.
They say that a woman’s ‘no’ also includes the meaning of ‘yes.’ The person who actually said that got arrested for sexual harassment, but the statement itself makes sense, I think. Because that’s how I feel right now.
Rejecting and refusing, but also wanting the other person to cling to them more.
I can’t possibly read a woman’s mind, but if the other person is Jung Se-in, it’s a different story.
At least when it comes to Jung Se-in, I know her better than anyone else.
Because I’m thinking about this girl all day long. I’m the one who has studied Jung Se-in the most deeply.
“Mmph! Mmmph!”
I firmly grabbed that fist-sized face and sucked on her lips. Sucking like a mosquito sucking blood. As if I would suck up all the moisture in that small mouth.
It’s hot, soft, and sticky. A certain emotion, different from lust, fills me.
A ticklish emotion that shouldn’t be revealed.
I tied that emotion down tightly so it wouldn’t move and entrusted myself to lust.
We’ve come too far to hope for a normal relationship between a man and a woman. The moment an emotion other than lust interferes, the strange friendship with Jung Se-in will come to an end.
Until I’m sure that a bad ending isn’t waiting at that end, I had to seal this emotion away.
“Puh-ha! Seriously!”
Jung Se-in, who had barely escaped my reckless kiss attack, was annoyed.
But the corners of her mouth were smiling.
A relationship that’s annoying and irritating, but even that is enjoyable.
That’s how it always was, and that’s how it had to be. For us.
I licked my lips, which were covered in someone else’s saliva, and said,
“Slurp. Let’s do it.”
“Haa… you want to that much?”
Jung Se-in asked, as if she couldn’t help it, looking at me, who was horny.
To that, I replied shamelessly.
“Of course!”
I want to kiss more, touch more, and have sex. My feelings for Jung Se-in became fuel and burned into lust.
“Then promise me. Promise you’ll never lie to me again.”
Jung Se-in made a concession as if she were doing me a favor.
But I couldn’t readily accept that either.
“…I can’t promise that.”
“Seriously! Why!”
She whined, frustrated by my hesitant attitude.
As if to say, read the room and accept it.
“Because there are lies that are good for you in the world.”
I can lie that I won’t lie again.
But I’m not one to make such petty lies.
“I can’t lie normally, but for you, I’d gladly become a liar.”
“Hmph. Funny.”
Sometimes, lies are necessary to protect this insecure girl. She pretends to be stronger than anyone on the outside, but on the inside, she’s more fragile than anyone. If I were to say everything honestly, she would be hurt by every single word I said.
“Let’s do it.”
I said seriously to the girl who was staring at me silently.
“I want to do it with you.”
This is not a lie.
“Not with anyone else, not with your mom, I want to do it with you, I do.”
If the person in front of me was another woman, it would be a different story, but with Jung Se-in in front of me now, this is the truth. I poured out my gaze, filled with that sincerity.
“…Seriously annoying.”
What kind of annoyance is that?
In my opinion, as Dr. Jung Se-in, there’s annoyance at me for not following her wishes, but there seems to be even more annoyance at herself for being unable to resist me.
With that sulky face full of dissatisfaction, Jung Se-in came closer to me.
“Smooch.”
And kissed me.
A kiss that was so lovely it gave me goosebumps all over.
