Chapter 257 – #58_All Darkness Comes From The East (3)
#255
1.
“Is it because of this?”
Siwoo took out the pink four-leaf clover he kept in his cigarette case.
The clover, with its mysterious color that looked like it would crumble and fly away if you blew on it, was a little more withered than when Periwingkle had given it to him.
It was a test product.
The deadline was one week.
That was all she had told him.
She hadn’t said anything else about what exactly its effects were.
Moreover, Periwingkle had left for Guam without giving him her overseas contact information as soon as she had parted ways with Siwoo, so there was no way to ask her.
Besides, look at this bizarre color.
Doesn’t it look like it’s up to something shady and hiding some scheme?
“Should I throw it away…”
If Siwoo’s guess was correct, it was an unnecessary gift, no matter how well-intentioned it was.
It was creating awkward situations without giving him a moment to rest, so what was he supposed to use it for?
He tried to cover the clover with his shadow and crush it.
“Hmm….”
He stopped.
No one knew what its actual effects were, and it might be a backup device given to him in case the green four-leaf clover was used up.
Anyway, Siwoo neatly made Eloa’s bed.
Lately, he had been sleeping in the same room as her.
Four hours a day, the necessary sleep, was in another sense, the most dangerous time for Siwoo.
Therefore, he was sleeping as close as possible so that Siwoo could wake Eloa immediately and get her help when he was in danger.
Of course, they weren’t sleeping in the same bed, but they compromised by putting two separate beds side by side.
-Bang!
The door across the room opened, and Eloa, wearing pajamas, came out toddling.
For a grown adult woman, and especially for the dignified Duchess Tiferet, the expression “toddling” was even rude, but it was unavoidable when she was wearing those pajamas.
Because Siwoo had bought them by sight, the pajamas were about two sizes too big, and the sleeves completely covered her hands.
Seeing her dragging the folded-up pant legs, such an expression naturally came out.
“I’ve made the bed. Would you like some milk before you sleep? I’ve warmed it up.”
“Thank you, as always.”
“It’s nothing. It’s not a big deal.”
Siwoo handed her a mug of warm milk that he had preheated in a double boiler in the kitchen.
He had learned over the past few days that Eloa was quite a serious alcoholic.
Since a spirit couldn’t be physically addicted, it was probably a mental dependency.
He didn’t intend to say anything about it, but since she had to sleep anyway, he thought that warm milk would help her sleep better than sleeping with a stomach sore from alcohol, so he had been serving her hot milk like this for the past few days.
He was already receiving all sorts of help, so he had to take care of her like this.
“Hmm, good.”
Eloa took the milk, which was at the perfect temperature, and sat on the bed, sipping it.
She was in a good mood because of Siwoo’s cheerful consideration, and she smiled warmly, swinging her legs.
Just looking at her like that, she looked exactly like a peer of the same age as the twins.
Except for her unique way of speaking.
“Siwoo, I have a favor to ask.”
Just as Siwoo was about to take the mug to the kitchen to clean up, Eloa suddenly stopped him.
“Yes, please tell me.”
“Could you give me a massage?”
A massage?
Suddenly?
Especially in this situation?
Siwoo was as horrified as if he had heard a friend’s suggestion to go clubbing in the midst of a pandemic.
Things were already going strangely wrong even when he was just staying still.
And now she was urging physical contact in a situation where they were both wearing only pajamas.
In fact, pajamas, as clothing that focuses on comfort, have very low defense.
The fabric is thin, and the buttons are loose, so even if you bend over slightly and the hem of the clothes opens, you can see inside.
Even now, the line of her panties was clearly visible over the pajama pants that Eloa was wearing.
“Why are you making a face like you’ve seen a ghost? It’s not that difficult of a request, is it?”
“Yes, well, it’s just that…”
Eloa tried her best to act as if nothing was wrong and remained calm.
The reason she suddenly made this request was because of her earlier resolution.
Until now, she had thought of him as her disciple, but unconsciously, she had been aware that he was a man.
Eloa’s actions were projected onto Siwoo, and he also began to recognize Eloa as a woman.
Therefore, they were blushing and reacting awkwardly to various accidents.
So, what if she changed her perspective?
What if Eloa didn’t overreact to various situations and responded calmly?
What if she maintained her role as a teacher and didn’t care about her disciple’s gaze or touch?
Naturally, Siwoo would also be able to break down the awkward wall and establish a perfect relationship between disciple and master.
Just like she had with Lapi in the past.
“I’m asking you.”
“Well, okay.”
Siwoo didn’t seem very willing, but he didn’t refuse Eloa’s request.
He climbed onto the bed where she was sitting and knelt down.
Let’s just steel my heart.
What’s a massage?
You just have to rub her shoulders.
“Wait a moment.”
Eloa tied her hair with the hair tie she was wearing on her wrist, just like when she was sparring.
This was to prevent her hair from getting caught when she was massaging her shoulders.
Thanks to that, Siwoo was able to see Eloa’s white nape up close.
He straightened his back as much as possible and breathed in through his mouth to avoid smelling her scent.
He carefully placed his hands on her shoulders as if he were defusing an explosive.
“…Ugh!”
The loose pajama hem was full of gaps.
The moment Siwoo’s rough hand touched the bare skin where her shoulder line met her neckline, creating a smooth curve.
Eloa’s soft nape was covered in goosebumps.
Moreover, her shoulders were tense, as if she had been electrocuted.
He hadn’t even put any real strength into his hands yet.
“Are you in pain? I haven’t even done anything yet…”
“Ah, no. Keep going.”
Siwoo hesitated for a moment, then began to rub her shoulders.
Eloa, who had been stiff, gradually relaxed her body as time passed.
It was soft.
The parts where their bare skin touched, as well as the parts covered by the thin pajama hem, were as soft as marshmallows.
It was as if she was asserting that this was a woman’s body.
Her back always seemed so big.
But when he actually put his hands on it like this, her shoulders were very small.
They seemed endlessly small to bear the sadness alone and to take responsibility for the enormous karma she had imposed on herself.
“Does it feel good?”
Eloa nodded her head.
Judging by the fact that there was nothing caught on his fingertips, he thought that she was probably braless under her pajamas.
It was just a brief thought, but reflexively, his gaze turned to Eloa’s chest.
Her chest was always tightly wrapped in a sports bra because it interfered with her movements, but in reality, it was a hidden gem.
Even in a sitting position, it was impressively lifting her pajamas.
Siwoo quickly cleared his mind.
Good thoughts, let’s have good thoughts.
Maybe it’s because there have been so many embarrassing things lately, but I keep thinking in that direction…
It’s not good.
“Hmm….”
Unaware of Siwoo’s troubled heart, Eloa’s body was only becoming more relaxed.
Her back, which had been upright, was now comfortably relaxed, and it looked like she was about to lean all the way back.
Siwoo calmed his wavering mind and asked.
“Does it feel good?”
“It feels very good. You’re quite skilled.”
“I used to do it for my parents a lot when I was young. Would you mind tilting your head back for a moment?”
“Tilt my head back?”
Eloa was puzzled, but she rested her head on Siwoo’s palm.
Siwoo pressed down on the acupressure point below the back of her head, the Fengchi point, which is often pressed as a service massage when you go to a hair salon.
“Haaah…”
Eloa’s eyes, which had been half-closed, became glazed, and her mouth opened.
Her eyebrows, which had been like crescent moons on her round forehead, were also twitching.
Yes, this was the reaction.
The natural reaction when a massage was working perfectly.
Siwoo praised himself for his unrusty skills and diligently pressed down on Eloa’s nape.
Normally, the weight of the head itself was enough to apply pressure, but her head was so small and light that he had to use extra force.
“You’re, you’re skilled.”
Eloa was giggling like a cat intoxicated by catnip.
Her body seemed to be leaning further and further back, and she had already almost fallen over.
“If you’re uncomfortable, would you like to lie down?”
“Is that okay?”
“Yes, it’s more comfortable for me too.”
“I see.”
Eloa lay down completely, and Siwoo put his hand under her head as if he were putting a pillow there.
He repeatedly massaged her entire neck.
But an unexpected variable occurred.
The prone position inevitably meant that more of Eloa’s body was caught in Siwoo’s field of vision.
As she lay back, her pajamas had risen slightly, and Eloa’s cute belly button was visible through the gap in the hem.
It was a cute belly button, indented but long and narrow.
“I never knew there was such a miraculous method…”
At the same time, another protrusion caught his eye.
Two particularly prominent curves were visible on Eloa’s chest, which was covered by her fluttering pajamas.
Such a shape in the center of her chest.
Then it must be her nipples…
“Ugh!”
“I, I’m sorry.”
He was so flustered that he put strength into his hand. He squeezed the back of Eloa’s neck, and she was startled and opened her eyes.
“No, it’s very comfortable, so please continue.”
Eloa closed her eyes again and entrusted her body to Siwoo’s hands, which were moving gently.
She was secretly pleased.
Thinking about it again, it was definitely a brilliant idea.
When Siwoo’s hand first touched her nape, she had flinched a little.
They had bumped into each other or hit each other during sparring, but they had never had such subtle physical contact.
When his unexpectedly rough, thick, and cold hand touched her skin, she even wondered if she had made the wrong choice.
But when the full-fledged massage began, it was nothing.
She didn’t feel anything even when she was being massaged.
Siwoo, who had been hesitant at first, also responded with a pure reaction when Eloa approached him with a pure heart.
Eloa, having confirmed that there was no awkwardness between them, felt relieved that a proper master-disciple relationship was beginning to form.
She would just have to keep doing this in the future.
“Haaah…”
She was starting to feel sleepy.
It would be nice to fall asleep while receiving a massage from his hands.
In her dizzy head, only the sensation of his hands massaging her neck remained.
Just as Eloa was feeling a languor as if she were being sucked into the mattress, she slightly tossed and turned…
A chilling sound reached her ears.
-Thud, thud, thud
A very small sound that was heard exactly three times, and a feeling of emptiness in her chest.
As she tossed and turned, and as the hem of her clothes was caught and moved around during the massage.
Three of the already loose pajama buttons had naturally come undone.
Moreover, as Eloa tossed and turned, the front of her pajamas, where the buttons had come undone, opened, exposing her breasts to the air.
At the same time, Siwoo’s hand, which had been massaging her neck, stopped abruptly.
Eloa, who had her eyes closed and didn’t know exactly what was going on, could sense this much.
The series of happenings that had been occurring recently had now occurred on a grand scale.
In other words, by coincidence, she had exposed her chest to Siwoo.
And that he had witnessed it.
Feeling a dizziness that made her feel like she was going to stop breathing, Eloa tried to remain calm.
Nothing had changed now!
Hadn’t she decided to deal with it naturally if this happened again?
If she had no shame in her heart, Siwoo would naturally stop being conscious of Eloa.
So, she should act as if nothing was wrong, close her clothes, and say coolly, “Why are you so flustered?”
“……”
“……”
The silence grew longer.
Contrary to what she had decided, her mouth and body didn’t move at all.
“……Ko, koooh…koo…”
Eloa pretended to be asleep!
