“So, you know, since it was our first date, I just let it slide. But we were at the movie theater, watching this really serious scene, and he suddenly burps!” Soo-hyun said, and then she burped.
It was loud!
Ye-eun and So-eun giggled.
Soo-hyun laughed. “Seriously, it was even louder than that. It was such a serious scene, and then he burped, and everyone in the theater burst out laughing. Oh, it was so embarrassing.”
Grandma clicked her tongue. “You’re a young lady; you shouldn’t be burping at the dinner table.”
Soo-hyun stuck her tongue out and grinned. “What’s the big deal? Girls don’t care about that these days. Right?”
She placed her hand on my thigh.
I’d been chuckling at her story and taking a sip of soup, and I choked.
“Cough.”
My throat hurt. Damn it.
“…Ah, well, yeah. It’s not a big deal these days.”
Soo-hyun laughed, placing some kimchi on top of her rice, and continued talking. “That was my first and last boyfriend. He was such a ditz. I don’t know if he’s alive or dead now.”
Ye-eun, who had been eating quietly, nodded. “Do you have any friends you can contact?”
“I did. Not anymore.”
Soo-hyun replied casually. But everyone at the table understood what she meant. They had all tried contacting their friends and acquaintances countless times.
…Hmm…
But this was strange…
Why was Soo-hyun’s hand still on my thigh?
She’d seemed happy when I’d dumped the batteries and tools in front of her. Maybe it was because she’d received a gift. I didn’t mind.
I glanced at Soo-hyun. She happened to look at me at the same time.
I chuckled and asked, “What should I bring back tomorrow?”
Soo-hyun frowned. “Why are you being so formal? You’re two years older than me. A year older than Ye-eun, and six years older than So-eun. Just speak comfortably.”
I smiled. “Should I?”
I looked at Ye-eun and So-eun. Ye-eun nodded, but So-eun wouldn’t even look at me. She really seemed uncomfortable around men.
“Okay, then. I’ll speak comfortably.”
I asked again, this time looking at all the women, “What should I bring back tomorrow? Do you need anything? Grandma?”
Grandma was the first to respond. “Oh, we need a lot of things. Red pepper flakes, dried anchovies…”
Ye-eun raised her hand hesitantly. “Um… if… if it’s not too much trouble… could you… bring back some… feminine products…?”
Feminine products?
Ah, sanitary pads.
I nodded and looked at Soo-hyun. “I’m planning to explore the neighborhood, so let me know if you need anything.”
I looked at Ye-eun and Grandma and tilted my head. “Red pepper flakes, dried anchovies… and… those should be available at a supermarket, not a convenience store. Could you draw me a map to a larger supermarket or something? I’ll go there tomorrow.”
Ye-eun nodded. “There are smaller supermarkets, regular supermarkets, and hypermarkets. Which one should I draw for you?”
“All of them. I want to check them all out.”
Soo-hyun looked impressed. Her hand was still on my thigh.
“Are you brave or reckless? Those things are out there. Aren’t you scared?”
I smiled casually. “I’m scared. But someone has to go out and get what we need. Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.”
Soo-hyun gave me a strange smile, resting her chin on her hand and staring at me. She didn’t say anything.
It was a strange experience. I felt incredibly close to her. Could people become this close in just one day? Maybe it was because of the situation. But I had to remind myself that these women were still strangers to me.
I finished eating and stood up. Soo-hyun, that short, busty girl, subtly wiggled her fingers on my thigh, and I felt a slight stirring in my groin.
Damn it.
“Thank you for the meal.”
Grandma grunted in acknowledgment. She must have been from the Chungcheong region.
“Come down for breakfast tomorrow, young man.”
“Yes, Grandma. Thank you.”
Then, Soo-hyun spoke. “Do you have a phone charger?”
Oh, right. I shook my head, and Soo-hyun nodded. “I have a spare one. I’ll bring it to you.”
“Oh, thanks.”
Then, Ye-eun called me. I turned around, and she was holding a plastic bag.
“What’s this?”
“These are my dad’s… clothes…”
…Ah.
I must have smelled pretty bad.
I smiled and took the bag. “…Have you been able to contact your parents?”
Ye-eun shook her head.
I nodded. “I haven’t been able to reach mine either. Don’t worry too much. They’re probably safe somewhere.”
“Yes… thank you.”
I held up the bag to Grandma. “Grandma, I’ll put these to good use.”
“Good, good.”
I left the main house and went up the stairs.
Sigh.
Dinner was over.
It had been…
A surprisingly normal dinner.
These women…
They didn’t know that I had just bashed in the head of a middle school boy.
I didn’t plan on telling them.
In this situation, you either survived, or you died.
This normal dinner was actually abnormal, considering the circumstances.
How long would we be able to have meals like this?
I entered the rooftop room and leaned against the door.
I had just killed someone. Not a human beast, but a real person.
It was surprising.
…I didn’t feel anything.
Maybe I had become numb from killing all those human beasts.
Kill or be killed.
That’s what the world had become.
After showering, I realized just how bad my clothes had smelled.
Phew, damn it.
I wrapped a towel around my waist and looked around. I wanted a cigarette. I hadn’t smoked before, but I’d picked it up in the military. I’d tried to quit after being discharged, but it wasn’t easy.
I suddenly craved a cigarette after showering.
Where was my bag?
Oh, there it was.
I pulled out a cigarette and a lighter from the front pocket of my backpack and lit up. The smoke filled my lungs, then flowed out, leaving a cool sensation.
“Ha…”
It made my head spin a little.
It felt good.
Knock, knock.
Hmm?
“It’s me. I brought the charger.”
Soo-hyun.
Oh.
I started to get up, then stopped. I was only wearing a towel.
Well, I just had to take the charger and she’d leave.
I opened the door a crack and peeked out.
“Oh, thanks.”
Soo-hyun’s eyes widened as she saw me.
“You smoke?”
“Yeah.”
“…Why are you only peeking out?”
I smiled. “I’m naked. I just showered.”
Soo-hyun blinked slowly, then said, “…Can I have one too?”
…Did she want to come in?
This girl… She had been giving off that vibe during dinner too… I felt a stirring in my groin.
I smiled. “Sure. Come in.”
I opened the door wider and gestured for her to enter. Soo-hyun stepped inside.
“Wow… there’s really nothing in here… It’s empty. Where’s the outlet?”
“Over there.”
I pointed to the corner where I had laid out the blankets.
Soo-hyun walked over and plugged in the charger. I went over and sat behind her. And then, I hugged her.
“Oh!”
Soo-hyun flinched in surprise. But she didn’t resist.
I smiled. “I like you.”
And then, I grabbed her breasts. She had put her hand on my thigh during dinner, and now she had come into my room knowing I was naked. Even if she wanted to stop now, I wasn’t going to let her.
Her slightly chubby stomach. Her ample breasts. She was probably around 155cm tall and weighed about 50kg.
Soo-hyun turned to look at me and mumbled, “But… shouldn’t we… talk first…?”
What was she talking about?
Her hair tickled my cheek as she turned. I smiled, took her chin in my hand, turned her face towards me, and kissed her. Her soft lips parted willingly. She reached out and touched my tongue with hers.
Soft and moist.
I didn’t know why she was suddenly acting like this. Was it because of the apocalypse? Because she couldn’t go outside?
Whatever the reason, it didn’t matter right now.
I laid Soo-hyun down on the blankets and unclasped her bra.
Click.
I pulled off her shirt and bra together, then her pants. I stroked her mound over her panties, and she shivered.
…She was wet.
She must have been anticipating this since she put her hand on my thigh.
I kissed her neck, her ear, then took her breast in my hand and sucked on her nipple. It had been a while since I’d been with a woman. Her sweet scent filled my nostrils. I slipped my hand inside her panties, and my fingers met her soft folds.
She was quite hairy.
I rubbed her warm, soft folds, and she started to get wetter. She was incredibly slick.
“…Ah… hmm…”
Soo-hyun moaned softly.
I pulled off her panties and tossed aside the towel that had been wrapped around my waist. My cock was hard.
Sigh.
My heart pounded.
I pressed my cock against her and rubbed it against her folds.
“…I’m going in.”
Soo-hyun didn’t respond. She just spread her legs, closed her eyes, and moaned softly.
I pushed inside. A warm, slick sensation enveloped my cock.
“…Ah!” Soo-hyun moaned, her face contorted.
I leaned over her, wrapped my arms around her, and slowly moved my hips back and forth. A pleasurable sensation pulsed through me.
“Ha… this feels good, Soo-hyun.” She didn’t reply. Just moaned.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
“We’re not dating.”
Soo-hyun said, giving me a coy look as she got dressed.
“I just get… urges sometimes. And you happened to be there.”
I chuckled and spread my arms. “I’ll always be here, so anytime.”
I continued to caress her breasts as she dressed. She didn’t push my hand away.
They felt good.
Soo-hyun, now fully dressed, turned to look at me.
“Good night.”
She kissed me on the cheek.
“Good night.”
I watched her leave and close the door behind her, then I leisurely lay down on the blankets. It had been a good night. I’d rest well and go out again tomorrow.
I opened my status screen. I had 4 stat points.
…Four?
Two from the hardware store…
One from the street…
Huh?
Did that include the middle schooler?
Why?
…Did I level up from killing anyone, or because he was about to turn?
…I didn’t know.
…Anyway, 4 points…
It would be best to increase my Spirit.
I allocated all 4 points to Spirit, bringing it to 14. One more point, and I could use Accelerate three times.
…But…
I had to figure out what to do about those groups of human beasts. Going out and leveling up were good, but if a horde of them attacked me at once, I wouldn’t be able to handle it.
…An idea formed in my mind.
…The convenience store nearby.
I could use that to my advantage.
…Good.
I nodded and closed my eyes.
