Chapter 225 – One-on-One – Paeng Soso
“I’ve become stronger.”
The day after I sent Hong Yeonhwa away, utilizing all the experiences I had until now.
As soon as I woke up in the morning, I instinctively realized that my stamina had accumulated significantly in just one day.
Of course, there was a considerable difference compared to before, like the difference between the sun and a torch… If things continue like this, I will be able to fully recover the achievement of the One Moon Divine Circulation within a month.
But my momentary joy at the faster progress was interrupted by a slightly cracked voice from beside me.
“It seems like the lady is going to die….”
Hong Yeonhwa, with a healthy complexion but an oddly tense atmosphere.
Even in this moment, her posture, clutching her waist in a twisted manner, feels sincere.
“No, why are you struggling so much? You’ve lasted longer before.”
As I tapped her slender waist, she suddenly rolled her eyes and kicked her feet.
The level of threat is as cute as a hamster that has lost a sunflower seed.
With her hands on her waist, Hong Yeonhwa spoke, exhaling breaths of various colors.
“You’re asking because you don’t know? This time, didn’t you deliberately target only the lady’s weaknesses!”
“Well… I couldn’t help it. It was the best option.”
“I know that. But couldn’t you give me some time to rest? The lady is already feeling it, and on top of that, it keeps overlapping and overlapping…!”
They say that a man reaches a climax once and it’s over, but a woman can experience it continuously and repeatedly.
Usually, I pause for a moment to enjoy the sight of Hong Yeonhwa leaving… but yesterday, I was more proactive than ever.
Because that’s when sensitivity is at its peak.
“Thanks to that, I was able to have a decent match with you, right? If I had done it casually like usual, it would have ended more mediocrely.”
“That’s true, but still! Still…!”
Suddenly, as if feeling sorry, Hong Yeonhwa lay flat on the bed, fully prepared to leave, and started flailing her arms and legs.
“I don’t know, I don’t know! Take responsibility for me! Anyway, take responsibility!”
“What more do I have to take responsibility for here…?”
As I raised my head in surprise at her sudden tantrum, Hong Yeonhwa softly opened her mouth.
“My waist hurts so much that I can’t even take a step!”
“Just use your inner energy.”
“Then the traces from yesterday won’t disappear.”
“What?”
Hong Yeonhwa gently stroked her lower abdomen for a moment and spoke.
“What you gave me, each and every one of them is like a precious treasure. Even if it’s pain… I can’t erase them recklessly.”
“…If anyone hears this, they’ll think I’m hitting you.”
Why are the word choices like this?
Anyway, with her words and her sparkling pink eyes, it wasn’t difficult to guess what she wanted.
As I sat down on the bed, Hong Yeonhwa crawled towards me and climbed on top of me.
“Eungheung…!”
The satisfying sound of laughter in my ear and the weight of her sturdy inner energy pressing against my back.
“Look at this! Let’s go back just like this!”
“Sure, sure.”
I smirked at the thought that Hong Yeonhwa had become more mischievous lately and got up.
With Hong Yeonhwa stuck to me like a piece of gum, I carried her and returned to our original lodging.
After bringing Hong Yeonhwa to her room, getting medicine from the doctor, and trying to change clothes.
Knock, knock, knock.
“Jin Ga-ga?”
“Huh? Uh, just a moment!”
Squeak.
As soon as I finished putting on the clothes, I opened the door at the sound of a familiar voice.
“Hehe. I’m here.”
Black dumpling-like hair with a glossy sheen. Round, sparkling eyes. And a vibrant outfit with golden threads sewn on a red background.
Paeng Soso, who often dressed up, seemed even more beautiful today, but she was hesitating, as if hiding something.
After Hong Yeonhwa, it was Paeng Soso’s turn.
“Jin Ga-ga, Jin Ga-ga. Would you like to have a meal together?”
“Food? I’m not hungry yet…”
“Or it’s okay if you eat!”
“Let’s eat! The food here is pretty good.”
I had gathered quite a bit of appetite from Hong Yeonhwa, but it wasn’t enough to exert myself in broad daylight.
“Tsk…”
Whether it was a joke or not, Paeng Soso pouted with a disappointed expression, sticking out her tongue.
But then, she suddenly remembered something and perked up.
“Oh, then let’s eat outside instead of here. I found a famous inn nearby.”
“A famous inn… You went to the trouble of finding one?”
“Well, it’s the time I spend with Jin Ga-ga, right? Of course, I have to take care of it.”
Paeng Soso’s eyebrows curved like a crescent moon.
Then, she approached me, swaying her hips, and grabbed my hand, pulling it towards her waist.
As if this was the natural place for my hand to be, I involuntarily exerted strength in my arm, feeling the tightness.
What’s this? Why is she suddenly like this?
I don’t dislike it, but it’s so blatantly obvious that there’s another hard thing.
“Hey, Jin Ga-ga.”
“What?”
She naturally embraced me in a position that felt like she was pulling me in. In that state, Paeng Soso started rubbing her forehead against my shoulder.
“I’ve been looking forward to spending a day alone with Jin Ga-ga so much that I’ve already thought about what we should do… Aren’t you excited too?”
Her playful gestures and sweet voice flowed naturally.
The atmosphere was not one where I could say I had no thoughts at all, but this…
“So, you’re saying that you’re in the same boat as me. I haven’t decided yet because there are so many options.”
Paeng Soso either believed my words or pretended not to know, but she pressed herself against me with a satisfied expression.
The softness and firmness that could be felt even through our clothes created an addictive sensation.
What kind of inn is this that she’s acting like this? I’m starting to get curious.
Paeng Soso smiled widely, receiving my puzzled gaze.
“Well, that’s great then! Should we start by buying new clothes?”
“Huh? Isn’t this outfit fine?”
“Let’s buy new clothes! It’s not bad right now, but it doesn’t really match my clothes.”
“Uh… okay.”
Her firm tone didn’t allow for any objections. All I could do was nod my head.
What is this? What’s the big deal?
***
This is Gwangdong Province, not Hahmuk Province. It goes without saying that the clothes Hong Yeonhwa and Paeng Soso are wearing are not from their wardrobes, but new clothes bought locally.
The clothes were quite expensive, but while I’m being treated here, the royal court and the Murim Alliance have agreed to keep an eye on my back.
They would cover the cost of the clothes, of course.
However, they couldn’t solve the problem of the time it takes to choose clothes and alter them.
We clearly left in the morning, and now it’s already past lunchtime to come out of the clothing store…
“Well, how does it look? It’s cool enough like this!”
“If you say so, then I have nothing else to say.”
It was Paeng Soso who chose the clothes, not me.
In other words, I am currently dressed according to Paeng Soso’s taste.
Since a while ago, Paeng Soso has been making blank expressions while looking at me, giggling for no reason, and even hugging me at times as if she couldn’t help it.
Right now, she’s walking while only looking at my face, not the road ahead.
If it’s Paeng Soso’s intuition, she probably won’t trip or collide with anyone else.
Anyway, seeing her enjoying just looking at me like this, I feel like waiting for a few more hours wouldn’t matter.
Come to think of it, in Nakyang, Hong Yeonhwa and Paeng Soso dressed up as foxes.
Was that how I felt when I saw them like that?
“Ugh…! Seriously! This is too good to be seen alone. Please wear it again when you’re with the other sisters. Okay?”
“I’m fine with that… Does it really look that cool?”
Overall, it’s a garment that is predominantly black, somewhere between a martial arts uniform and a palace attire. The red embroidery along the edges and scattered throughout adds a touch of elegance.
“Are these clothes made for the royal masters? Or perhaps they’re clothes for the martial artists to wear on formal occasions.”
Either way, no matter how I look at it, they’re pretty cool clothes, not more or less… but it doesn’t seem that way to Paeng Soso.
“Of course! It’s so cool… um… hmm…”
Paeng Soso hesitated, tilting her head left and right as she carefully chose her words.
After a while, she looked around and whispered in my ear.
“Do you know how cool you look right now?”
“Yeah.”
“….”
A shiver ran down my spine as something moist, soft, and warm brushed against my ear.
“You, you out here…!”
Paeng Soso licked my ear as if whispering, her audacity sending me into a daze.
While I was still stuttering, Paeng Soso transmitted her voice to me.
As if she didn’t want anyone else to overhear, she continued to bring her lips close to my ear.
-You look so cool that I want to devour you like a dog.
“….!”
They say that when someone is too shocked, they can’t say anything. That’s exactly how I felt right now.
But Paeng Soso’s words weren’t over yet.
-Or maybe it’s okay for me to devour Jin Gagga like a dog.
As always, Paeng Soso goes beyond my imagination.
“Soso…”
Without realizing it, I stopped in my tracks, but it was already too late.
Paeng Soso, who had stopped beside me, pointed to the inn next to us.
Despite its spacious size, it looked modest from the outside.
No matter how much less flashy it was compared to the main building, it was strange for a building like this to have no decorations.
Paeng Soso’s voice came at the right moment, as if to resolve my doubts.
-The reason why this inn is famous is because of its special rooms.
-Special rooms?
-Yes!
Paeng Soso took a few steps back and smiled brightly.
-It’s a special room prepared for various things… for adults!
“Ah.”
Finally, I understood why Paeng Soso was so excited to choose my clothes.
From the beginning, she had planned to take them off herself…?
Naturally, I felt my cheeks flush.
I looked up at the sky.
It was still noon.
