## Chapter 40 – Leisure Time (8)
The very person with whom my ill-fated relationship began only yesterday is now collapsed before my eyes, staring blankly into space,
shaking all over as if having a seizure.
“…Hngh…! Ugh…Ugh…♡”
Up until now, it seemed no different from ordinary petals,
so what’s changed?
The reaction when a petal begins to parasitize varies from case to case,
differing from person to person, but so far, nothing particularly different stands out…
That arrogant Hong Su-a, who, for some reason I don’t know,
hated me so much,
is drooling from her mouth,
uttering vulgar sounds.
From her pussy, evidence of lost virginity,
blood and my semen, are mixed and flowing out.
“…Come to think of it, why does she hate me so much?”
It’s a question that occurred to me later than expected, but
I’m not particularly curious now.
I can find out directly.
The petal, which had been wriggling near Su-a’s ear, who was rolling her eyes and having a seizure,
completely disappeared into her ear,
and gradually, the convulsions in her body are subsiding.
“Alright, time to slowly…”
I was brushing off the dirt and dust that had gotten on my clothes from the scuffle with Su-a,
getting up.
Suddenly, a light shone before my eyes, and my vision
narrowed and began to fade into darkness.
The sudden and impossibly fast shift in vision
brought me nausea and
a feeling of wanting to vomit, but no vomit came out,
and a dizziness I had never felt before
overwhelmed me, and the knees that had just brushed off the dust
collapsed back to the ground.
“W-what is this…?!”
Another sensation overlapping with reality.
This feeling isn’t new.
A mysterious sensation I’ve felt before
and a familiar blue light.
The time I ate the glowing fruit and lost consciousness in the bathroom
flashed through my mind.
Soon, the dizziness began to subside,
and when I lifted my head and looked around, the space
was quite similar to the space the
glowing fruit had shown me before.
If there’s anything different from last time,
it’s that before, I couldn’t freely control my body
and the space felt foreign,
like sitting in an uncomfortable person’s house,
but now, this place feels like my own room,
like my own space.
Is this place reality, or an illusion?
My head can’t understand it at all, but
my eyes are chasing the figure
that’s uniquely glowing in this dark space,
as if they know exactly what to do.
The light is shaped like a person
and is shining pure white.
As I slowly approached the light,
a gradually familiar silhouette began to appear.
Hong Su-a, who had been collapsed on the ground just moments ago,
a statue-like figure of Hong Su-a, made of light from head to toe,
is staring at me with a blank expression.
‘It is yours.’
I think I know what I have to do.
I reached out my hand to the thing that looked like Hong Su-a,
and that hand began to emit an increasingly deep blue light.
As I brought that hand closer and closer to Hong Su-a,
her face turned pale and she tried to resist, but
her strength was as weak as a newborn baby’s kick,
and the moment I grabbed Hong Su-a’s figure with that hand,
like dissolving paint in water in a water bottle,
the light from my hand began to be dyed into the light of that figure.
‘…..’
I didn’t feel the same resistance as before,
and it was instantaneous.
Closing my eyes one last time as the light gradually turned blue,
when I opened them again, I was back in reality.
Hong Su-a, still collapsed on the dirt floor,
unconscious.
“…”
I look down at my palm.
The blue light that had been enveloping my hand
had returned to being an ordinary person’s hand, as if nothing had happened.
What on earth was that,
a feeling that was familiar and somehow longed for.
What cut off the strange feeling
of being familiar yet unfamiliar
was a strange ringing in my head.
I turned my head at the sound ringing in my ears, but
the sound was coming from none other than
where Hong Su-a was.
Discovering the source of this ringing,
when I looked at the source, Hong Su-a was
slowly getting up.
It wasn’t that difficult
to find a sense of incongruity
from her, who was slowly getting up.
Her eyes.
Those black eyes that had been looking at me with a hateful gaze
were different.
Even in this dark dawn park,
her pupils, which were shining brightly
with blue light and were enlarged, were clearly visible.
The moment I looked into her eyes,
I knew the identity of the ringing.
It was a small signal
that I and she were connected.
Not in a physical sense, but
I could feel the creature parasitizing her brain.
I can know what she’s thinking now,
what her physical condition is.
And I also know that Hong Su-a hasn’t disappeared yet.
I decided to ask a question
to the creature that was dominating
Hong Su-a’s body, who was standing still without saying anything.
“So, what are you guys?”
“…We are like the ancestors of the past.
But thanks to Father, we have
succeeded in evolving one step further, and that is us.”
The creature, speaking calmly and
pleasantly in Hong Su-a’s voice, which had been hasty and full of anger,
addressed me as Father and
knelt down, bowing respectfully,
paying homage.
…Father?
I think it’s a little early to be hearing that title,
but in a way, I am their father to these guys…
I feel something complicated, but
I scratch my head once and give Hong Su-a a sign
to continue explaining.
“We are beings born to serve Father,
and we are specialized in remodeling
the host’s body
solely for Father’s entertainment.”
“…So, you guys don’t reproduce?”
“Of course, we can also engage in
reproductive activities, which are the essence of our species.
Of course, we can also use it elsewhere.”
“What’s this remodeling you’re talking about?”
“It literally means we can adjust the personality
to suit Father’s taste,
and we can also adjust the body as we please.
If the previous generation of our kind could simply
remodel the host’s body,
we can do more extraordinary things,
such as remodeling the breasts to produce breast milk,
or remodeling the vagina to create
numerous protrusions to serve you.”
In a word, it feels like omnipotent.
As I was bringing my hand to my chin and marveling,
the parasite, who was kneeling,
spoke to me.
“Just now, I read the host’s memories.
I have confirmed that she has acted quite rudely
towards Father.
What shall we do? Shall we destroy her personality
and turn her into a vegetable as she is?
Or shall we leave her personality intact
and have her sell her body on the streets?”
The parasite speaks coldly,
saying such terrifying things as if it were nothing.
No matter how I think about it, unlike Chae-yoon and Seo-hee, who eat the host’s brain and
pretend to be that host,
I don’t feel any emotion as a personality.
“You guys don’t pretend to be human?
Or can’t you?”
“We are merely beings who manage and
adjust this body.
Of course, if Father enjoys this body
and the original personality is damaged
beyond repair, we can act out this personality,
but does Father want me to
‘Hong Su-a’?”
“….No.”
Rather, it’s a good thing.
Isn’t it a good opportunity
to plunge Hong Su-a into the abyss?
“Leave her personality intact, and erase today’s events
from her memory for a while.”
“Yes, I understand.”
It’s getting brighter and brighter.
I should wrap things up and go do something else.
…But before that, there was one last thing
I had to ask.
“You said you read all of Hong Su-a’s memories?”
“Yes, from infancy to the present,
I have memorized everything.”
“Then why does Hong Su-a hate me so much?
I met her for the first time that day.
Did she perhaps hear the story about her sister?”
The reason she hates me.
Yesterday was the first time
we met.
But looking at her personality now,
I don’t think she would care so much about her sister
because of what happened between her sister and me.
“The reason the host hates Father…
Please wait a moment.
The original personality’s resistance
to this information is strong.”
She wants to hide it that much?
What on earth is it?
There’s a slight change
in Su-a’s expression, which hasn’t changed since earlier.
Her cheeks tremble slightly, and her eyelids
move erratically for a moment,
but as soon as it’s sorted out,
the parasite begins to tell the truth
through Su-a’s mouth.
“…It’s true that she was angry at Father
after hearing the story about her sister.”
“…Really? I didn’t see her that way.”
I clicked my tongue at the unexpectedly bland reason
and was brushing the dust off my clothes
when Hong Su-a continued to speak.
“But the reason she was angry wasn’t for her sister’s sake,
but because of her personal feelings.”
“…Personal feelings?”
“The host seems to have had feelings of love
for a human named Lee Chae-yoon,
who was her sister’s lover.”
“….What?”
I think I heard something strange just now.
But if what the parasite told me is true,
everything makes sense.
There was a woman who was only interested in herself,
who lived with her own sense of superiority.
That woman had someone she loved, but
that love was a love that could never be
recognized by those around her.
She was happy just being by her side
through her sister, but one day, if someone
took her love away…
And if that person shamelessly
came to her…
“Pfft! Hahahahaha!”
This is the first time something’s been this funny.
“So, does she hate men?”
“…It seems she hates them beyond the level of dislike.”
She was deflowered by a man
she hated so much.
The reason why she has a boyish and pretty visual
but doesn’t have a lover and has kept her virginity
is also explained at the same time.
Ah, really. Hong Su-a, you…
Barely stopping my laughter, I approached
Hong Su-a’s body, which the parasite was controlling,
and kissed her, putting my fingers into her vagina
and caressing her for a while.
“…Slurp, um…”
After pulling away from the parasite, which was nonchalantly wrapping its tongue around mine,
I asked again.
“How is it? What did you feel just now?
Tell me what Hong Su-a felt.”
“…’Disgusting.’ ‘Smelly.’ ‘Dirty.’
are the feelings she’s feeling.”
Hearing those words, I burst out laughing again.
“Ah, what am I going to do?
Out of all the women I’ve met so far,
I’m most looking forward to you.”
