## Chapter 22 – Denial
I’m in my studio apartment, unable to say a word, crushed by the atmosphere of the two women sitting and looking down at me.
“After making me use my brain so much yesterday, not revealing your identity, and coming home this late without even a call, don’t you think that’s too much?”
“…How long have you been sitting here… My back… hurts so much…”
Seo-hee is glaring at me with those sharp eyes, and Chae-yoon can’t straighten her back properly because she’s been sitting in one position for so long.
“I was wrong, I was wrong. Just listen to me first.”
I apologize to the two people who still look angry, and before another complaint can come out, I take out the apple with two bites taken out of it from my bag and show it to them.
“Do you guys know what this is?”
“…It’s an apple.”
“Yes, it’s an apple.”
“….”
Did I miss the point of the question?
“No, it’s kind of a long story to explain…”
To help them understand, I started explaining everything that happened today.
Finding the department head and the pursuers, the auditory hallucination in my head, how I avoided danger several times thanks to the warning from that hallucination, and the shining fruit I found by following that voice. I explained everything to them without leaving anything out, and I looked up to see the two people sitting on the bed, looking back and forth between them.
I thought they might know a plausible answer, but…
“…A shining fruit?”
“We are born as ‘flowers.’ A fruit the size of an apple growing from a small flower?”
They don’t seem to know either.
“…Still, I guess it’s not normal. How else would you extract energy from a fruit to run such a big machine? And it gave Oppa new powers.”
“So, if I just listen to you, you’re saying that a voice that warns you of danger and the ability to make other people’s brains defenseless suddenly appeared overnight?”
“That’s right, I heard the voice yesterday too, but I thought it was just my imagination and ignored it…”
The atmosphere becomes quiet again, probably because they’re each lost in thought.
“Still, isn’t this pretty good?”
Seo-hee opened her mouth first.
“It is, but it’s not all good.”
“Why?”
“Now they know that it can parasitize men too.”
I think that’s inevitable. At that time, I only thought about taking this fruit hidden inside the machine.
“But the good thing is that they won’t attack us for a while now.”
“Since something they don’t know has appeared, judging by the personality of those bastards we’ve seen so far, they’ll never attack first unless they can perfectly solve the problem, is that what you’re saying?”
“I was going to say that…”
Chae-yoon looks at Seo-hee with a wronged expression after being interrupted.
“Then we can rest easy for a while… Can we?”
“Yes, I think so. But we can’t just play around like last time.”
“Take a break for a while and practice your abilities. I’m going in first.”
Ability practice, I’ve already started that, but… I smiled, thinking about the social gathering game with the professor that starts tomorrow for two weeks.
“…He already used it on someone, didn’t he?”
Seo-hee, who was putting on her coat and getting up from the bed, glanced at my face, gave Chae-yoon a wave, and went out the door.
“Oh, right, you live in our house now.”
“Now we can do it every day~♡ Oh, right, Oppa.”
I approach Chae-yoon, who is smiling slyly and signaling me to come closer with her hand, and put my ear to her.
“Why, what are you going to do again?”
“…Were you happy with the department head?”
Surprised, I take my ear away from Chae-yoon’s mouth, who is whispering softly, and turn to look at her.
Seeing her smiling and licking her lips with her tongue, I understand.
“…You did that on purpose…”
The next morning, I look out the window in the classroom, bathed in sunlight. I definitely slept well yesterday, but I’m tired. The cause is probably listening to a lecture in another classroom right now.
How much did we do yesterday… I don’t even remember the exact number of times.
I can’t sleep even though I’m tired, because today is my favorite lecture.
“Hyun-joo, when you’re doing croquis, don’t try to draw in too much detail, start with the big shapes first…”
Professor Han Hee-joo, the professor I met just yesterday and unfortunately became a new victim.
She continues the lecture steadily, but secretly glances back at me, but I’ve known that the professor is looking at me since before the lecture started.
Then shall we begin… I put my hand in my pocket and fidget with a small remote control.
As I gently push the switch up, an interesting sight unfolds before my eyes.
————————
“Professor, this is for you.”
“This is…”
“It’s what you think it is, Professor. Please put it in and give the lecture today.”
A small, white object. Chan-woo is handing me a vibrator that you would usually only see in adult movies, and my face turns red with the shame of being sexually harassed by a student.
“Stop it already, what do you get from doing this?!”
“….”
The shame that has reached its peak makes my voice come out through my mouth.
He stops laughing when he hears my voice, which is close to a scream, and I shrink back without realizing it at the sudden change in atmosphere.
“..Were you too embarrassed to put it in yourself, Professor? Then I should help you. Lift up your skirt and take off your panties.”
“That’s… Keuh…”
I forcibly move my unmoving hand and slowly lift up my skirt. And with one hand, I pulled my panties down to my thighs.
Chan-woo is squatting in front of my crotch, not saying anything and just looking at me.
I’m so ashamed that my hands are shaking and tears are flowing from my eyes.
“Professor’s pussy definitely feels like an adult’s.”
“..Hic…!!”
I was so surprised by the rough touch of his hand stroking my pubic hair while saying those words that I let out a strange sound without realizing it.
“Then, I’ll put it in.”
I frown at the unpleasant sensation of something forcing its way into my precious place, and tears continue to flow down my cheeks.
“…Okay, now you have to go to the lecture. Don’t cry, the students will think it’s weird.”
————————
Suddenly, the vibrator started vibrating subtly.
“Heuup…!!♡”
Surprised by the vibration suddenly felt in my lower body, I covered my mouth with both hands to stop the moan from coming out.
Lim Chan-woo…
I turn around and look at him sitting in the back seat, but he’s turning the pages of a book while fiddling with a pen as if he doesn’t know anything.
How did I end up like this…
I touch the hem of my skirt and squeeze my legs together, feeling a sense of discomfort inside me.
“Professor?”
“….”
A student sitting in the front seat calls me. Did they notice something strange? No, right?
“Ah, sorry, I was just thinking… Then I’ll continue with the feedback. So next is…”
The moment I was about to call the next student’s name.
Booo-oong-
“Eunghoot?!♡”
The intensity of the vibration suddenly increased just as I was about to make a sound. My legs gave way like a sandcastle collapsing from the momentary wave of pleasure that washed over me.
“P-Professor, are you okay…”
“I’m, I’m okay♡ Let’s continue…”
They haven’t noticed yet, please, I have to hold it in…
‘Doesn’t it feel good?’
“…?!”
I turn my head to chase the voice. But what’s there is outside the blackboard.
‘It’s in your head… If you keep acting weird like that, the students will notice…’
The monster in my head, the monster is talking to me.
“…Why, no…”
No, I didn’t feel good, I was just surprised.
‘You’re not being honest, well, that’s why Master is playing this game.’
Who the hell are you, please get out of my head.
‘I’m also Han Hee-joo, now that you’ve felt the pleasure that Master gave you, I’ve finally eaten you a little and can talk to you like this. Master is too much…♡’
No, that’s not it! I didn’t feel good. No…
‘Don’t do this, Hee-joo, what if you don’t have any motivation from the start? I don’t think Master is even enjoying it yet… If you’re going to act like that, just hand over your body and disappear, then I can serve Master with the remaining body♡’
“…Eugh…”
Even in the midst of that, the vibration of the vibrator inside me was getting stronger and stronger, and I desperately bit down to stop the sound from leaking out. Even during that time, the voice in my head continues to laugh at me.
No, I’m not such a frivolous person.
‘Stop pretending to be so clean… Right now, you’re wetting your pussy in front of the students, in front of so many people, you pervert…’
“Ah… Aaa…”
I don’t want to, but my head turns to the students on its own.
“..Professor….fessor… Are you okay….?”
“Please…”
Please.
No…
“Please don’t look at me…”
My vision turns white from the nausea and pressure.
‘It feels good.’
It feels… good…?
————————
Is that what adult patience is? I was a little surprised by the professor’s appearance, continuing the lecture as if nothing was wrong.
Well, it’s only this much.
I put my hand back in my pocket and operated the remote control to turn off the vibrator.
Then, the professor looked back at me once again.
…It didn’t seem completely okay.
Unlike before, tears were not flowing from her eyes, which showed anxiety and disgust. Could it be that she was greatly shocked by something?
Is it the disgust for herself being gradually eaten away by pleasure, or is it purely the disgust for the monster in her head?
Or is it towards me?
What is she thinking in a situation where her brain is being eaten away and her mind and heart as a human being are slowly being eaten away, I imagine while spinning a pen and listening to the empty lecture.
