Chapter 11 – Make a Wish (3)
Hong Yeon-hwa smiled softly, her back facing the moonlight.
“So, tell me your wish.”
The meaning behind her short words was clear. Let’s settle our fate with this.
Unless it was a request for me not to return to my original martial arts world, Hong Yeon-hwa would sincerely grant any wish I had.
If I demanded her body, she would willingly comply.
But tomorrow, she would leave.
Should I demand an impossible wish? Like world domination?
No, Hong Yeon-hwa had almost succeeded in the Murim world. It might take some time here, but most things were possible.
Should I demand something fundamentally impossible?
Like teaching me martial arts, pretending not to understand, and dragging it out?
Perhaps Hong Yeon-hwa would stick by my side to keep her promise.
…But she would only stick by my side.
It wasn’t hard to imagine Hong Yeon-hwa slowly withering away. Maybe resentment towards me would take root in her pink eyes.
I don’t want that.
What should I do? What am I hoping for?
My thoughts grew deeper. Hong Yeon-hwa didn’t urge me on, just quietly watching me.
Suddenly, the moonlit courtyard came into view. The traces of battle were evident in the dim light.
What was I thinking then?
…Ah.
Did she read something on my face? Hong Yeon-hwa’s smile deepened. It was a lonely smile.
“Have you decided?”
“Yeah. I just did.”
I closed my eyes for a moment. A series of processes to turn the thoughts and emotions that had just come to mind into language.
“My wish is…”
My dry lips and wildly beating heart. Swallowing anxiety and anticipation with saliva, I opened my eyes.
“I want to be as close as possible to Hong Yeon-hwa, no matter when or where.”
Was it because this was the first time I called her by name? Or was it because of the content?
Hong Yeon-hwa flinched for a moment and scratched her nose awkwardly.
“As you know, I have to return to my world someday. So that wish…”
“I know. But it doesn’t matter.”
“What do you mean?”
“I’ll just follow you.”
The reason I decided to fight Cheok An-geum, the trigger that allowed me to use the power of my heart’s martial arts, the fear of a life without Hong Yeon-hwa.
She has to return to her own world someday? Then I’ll just follow her!
Chapter 12 – Following Her (1)
“Do you know what it means to follow me? I’ll be wandering around without settling down anywhere.”
“I know.”
“Not only will it be difficult to live as a homeless person, but we might also encounter dangerous situations like the one we faced before.”
“Of course, I know that.”
“You might never be able to come back to this house again. Didn’t I tell you about my master’s grave?”
“I’m sure your master will understand. You’re the kind of person who would kick me out with envy anyway.”
Hong Yeon-hwa raised her voice, her head shaking in disbelief at my unexpected response.
“Even if you go back to the Murim world where you were, it’s still a problem! You’ll have to live as a stranger in a much harder place than this!”
“But you’ll be there.”
Hong Yeon-hwa looked at me with widened eyes, as if she had just realized something.
“Since when…? I didn’t feel anything at all.”
“From the very beginning. Since the moment I picked you up in the river.”
“….”
Hong Yeon-hwa hesitated to say something in response to my confession, her lips trembling. But in the end, she couldn’t say anything and just lowered her head.
I approached her slowly and pulled her closer.
Her unique scent blew in the wind. The soft touch of her skin. And her warm body temperature.
Hong Yeon-hwa didn’t refuse me. She just looked up at me quietly.
“You might regret it.”
“I won’t.”
I lowered my head and approached her slowly. Our breaths intertwined, and our skins touched.
She didn’t refuse me. On the contrary, she closed the distance between us even more.
The soft touch of her lips. A sincere kiss without any tricks. I forgot to breathe for a moment.
“Hmm…”
After a while, Hong Yeon-hwa pulled away from me. Surprised by her unexpected initiative, I looked down at her.
Her ears were red, and she was looking away from me.
Her cute appearance was too much for me to handle. I gave in to my impulse and pulled her closer, grabbing the back of her head.
This time, it was me who initiated the kiss. I could focus more on the soft touch of her lips.

This time, it was me who initiated the kiss. I could focus more on the soft touch of her lips.
Soft, moist, and with a pleasant scent, her lips were unforgettable. I closed my eyes and let my head fall back.
“Ah…”
After tasting her lips, I finally let go and looked at her.
“What’s next?”
“Well, first, we should take off the blanket.”
I let go of Hong Yeon-hwa and went to the closet to get a blanket. I used one to block the broken door and the other to cover us.
Now that we had a blanket, we had everything we needed.
Hong Yeon-hwa’s hand was trembling with tension as I took off her clothes slowly. Maybe it was because I had done it once before when she was unconscious. Or maybe it was because she was willing to accept my touch.
Her clothes fell to the ground in an instant, revealing her naked body.
“Wa…”
I couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration. Her breasts were whiter than any snow I had ever seen, and her pink nipples were standing erect.
I wanted to bury my head in them right away, but I restrained myself and moved down to her legs.
As I untied her underwear, I couldn’t help but ask, “Why don’t you have any hair…?”
“Is that weird?”
“No, I like it. I’m just curious.”
“Maybe it’s just my natural body type, like my hair. Or maybe it’s because of my martial arts training.”
I nodded to myself and stood up. I was about to lay Hong Yeon-hwa down on the blanket, but when I saw her fully naked body, I froze.
She was a goddess, a work of art, a masterpiece.
I couldn’t take my eyes off her, and Hong Yeon-hwa noticed my gaze.
She approached me with a puzzled look on her face.
Every time she did, my heart skipped a beat, and I couldn’t take my eyes off her chest.
“Why are you hesitating? Is something wrong?”
“No. You’re just too beautiful.”
“Eugh… Don’t make fun of me! And hurry up and take off your clothes too!”
I wasn’t sure if she thought I was teasing her or if she was just trying to hide her embarrassment.
Hong Yeon-hwa grumbled as she tried to undress me.
Of course, if she did that while she was naked, her breasts would shake wildly and touch my body directly.
I liked that, so I purposely changed my posture to make it difficult for her to undress me, but that didn’t last long. Eventually, I became naked like Hong Yeon-hwa.
But instead of standing up after taking off my pants, Hong Yeon-hwa sat down and started examining my erect penis.
“Is this really going inside of me?”
“…Do you want to touch it?”
As if possessed, Hong Yeon-hwa nodded her head and reached out her hand carefully.
The first place her thin fingers touched was the tip of my penis. When she touched it, my penis twitched with a strange sensation, and Hong Yeon-hwa looked up at me with a surprised face.
When I stroked her head without saying anything, she seemed relieved and focused on my penis again.
After examining it here and there for a while, she started stroking the tip of my penis with her index and middle fingers like petting a puppy.
“Look at this! It’s so cute how your head twitches every time I pet it!”
“Uh, yeah…”
I didn’t know how to respond. Was it a compliment that my penis was cute…?
I knew it wasn’t what she meant, but for some reason, I couldn’t help but be conscious of the word choice.
With my awkward reaction, Hong Yeon-hwa opened her mouth in a slightly sulky tone.
“I’m sorry. Are you mad that I only touched me and not you?”
Then she stood up and spread her arms wide, looking at me.
“Now it’s your turn. Go ahead and tease my body to your heart’s content.”
Ah, she was aware that it was teasing.
