Chapter 5: Chapter 5
Their momentary connection was broken when Gyeong-Eun's cough drew their attention back to the present.
Chae-Yoon snapped back to reality, momentarily forgetting about her friends' presence. She quickly remedied the situation by offering brief introductions to Seok-Woo.
"Seok-Woo, these are my friends," she gestured toward each of them, "Behind you is Na-Yeon, and in front are Gyeong-Eun and Yu-Mi."
"It's a pleasure to meet you all," Seok-Woo replied graciously, flashing a warm smile. Meanwhile, Na-Yeon stealthily edged closer to him, seizing his arm and maneuvering it between her chest.
"Hello, Seok-Woo. Nice to meet you. Call me Noona when we're out," she teased, applying gentle pressure in an attempt to elicit a reaction.
Unfazed, Seok-Woo remained composed. "Of course, Noona," he responded calmly, ignoring the sensation of his arm being ensconced between her breasts.
Na-Yeon's surprise turned to determination when Seok-Woo didn't react to her advances; she intended to push further, but her intentions were swiftly halted.
"Na-Yeon, show some restraint," Gyeong-Eun interjected, her arms crossed in disapproval as she observed Na-Yeon's attempts to seduce Seok-Woo. Recognizing the inappropriateness of the situation, she intervened to put an end to it.
Reluctantly, Na-Yeon released her hold on Seok-Woo's arm, withdrawing it from the gentle embrace of her chest.
Stepping forward, Gyeong-Eun addressed Seok-Woo with a firm tone, extending her hand in greeting. "Hello, Seok-Woo. I'm Gyeong-Hui. It's a pleasure to meet you," she stated, her demeanor composed and respectful.
Seok-Woo reciprocated the handshake, but the exchange lingered as neither party seemed willing to let go. Locked in this silent standoff, Gyeong-Eun and Seok-Woo exchanged a meaningful glance.
As Gyeong-Eun scrutinized Seok-Woo, a question lingered in her mind: "Is he truly the person in that photograph? He looks so different compared to that" Her gaze bore into him, searching for answers beneath the surface.
Meanwhile, Seok-Woo couldn't help but wonder about Gyeong-Eun's intense scrutiny. "Why is she studying me so seriously?, This is our first meeting right?" he mused inwardly, puzzled by the gravity of her gaze.
They remained in that state until Yu-Mi's interruption broke the moment. She approached Seok-Woo from the side, prompting him to release Gyeong-Eun's hand and turn his attention to her.
Yu-Mi enveloped him in a tight embrace, her nearness highlighting the disparity between Seok-Woo's present appearance and the image Chae-Yoon had previously depicted. "You look quite different from what Chae-Yoon had shown us," she remarked her tone a mix of surprise and curiosity.
Whether by design or accident, her embrace pressed her chest against his, and Seok-Woo couldn't help but enjoy the sensation once more.
Chae-Yoon took the initiative to address Seok-Woo. "You must be exhausted from your journey. I have prepared warm meals for you. Why don't you freshen up upstairs and eat?" She conveyed to Seok-Woo that his requested meals were ready to be enjoyed.
Seok-Woo gently disengaged from Yu-Mi's hug. "Sure, I'll be down shortly," he assured them before retrieving the bags from the floor and making his way upstairs.
As Seok-Woo disappeared from view, the four women resumed their conversation.
Na-Yeon initiated the discussion. "Does your son have a girlfriend?" Her curiosity stemmed from both his lack of response to her advances and the possibility of him having different romantic inclinations.
"I'm not entirely sure," Chae-Yoon responded, drawing from her observations of both Sung-Hee and Seok-Woo. "There was a girl who occasionally visited him before he enlisted. As for the nature of their relationship, it's unclear whether they're just friends or something more."
"Well, with a face like his, I doubt he struggles to find a girlfriend," Yu-Mi commented, her words echoing through the room for all to hear.
Gyeong-Eun turned to Na-Yeon, a skeptical look on her face, and fired back, "Why are you so interested? Hoping to lure him into bed with you? You're such a slut."
Na-Yeon bristled at the accusation. "It's not about that! I'm just sexually frustrated," she shot back, her voice rising in defiance. "It's been ages since I've had sex, and the ones I've had lately haven't been satisfying."
Gyeong-Eun's expression twisted with disgust. "That's just a slutty behavior. If you're that desperate, go back to where you came from," she retorted sharply, provoking Na-Yeon further.
Before Na-Yeon could unleash a retort, Chae-Yoon intervened, her voice firm. "Enough, both of you! We agreed to leave that in the past, remember? Why dredge it up now?" she admonished, attempting to defuse the escalating tension.
Na-Yeon turned her gaze towards Chae-Yoon, her expression defiant. "Easy for you to say, Did you forget that you're the biggest sl-" she muttered under her breath, only to be cut off by Yu-Mi before she could escalate the conflict further.
"Let's not do this here. Chae-Yoon's son just arrived. We should keep it together, okay?" Yu-Mi interjected softly, her tone gentle yet authoritative, urging them to maintain composure for Seok-Woo's sake.
Unbeknownst to the women, Seok-Woo caught wind of the heated exchange from his room. Despite the muffled nature of their voices, the tension in the atmosphere was palpable, causing him to hesitate about stepping out. "Maybe I'll just stay in for now," he decided quietly, opting to avoid the potential drama unfolding outside his door.
As Seok-Woo meticulously unpacked his belongings in his room, he approached the task with precision, each item finding its place like a well-rehearsed symphony.
Meanwhile, in the living room, the four women maintained a tense silence, none daring to break the quietude. Fortunately, the shrill sound of the doorbell shattered the stillness, sparing them the need to initiate conversation.
Chae-Yoon's attention shifted towards the door at the unexpected interruption. "Are you expecting someone?" Na-Yeon inquired, breaking the silence.
"No, I wasn't anticipating any visitors," Chae-Yoon replied, her brow furrowing in curiosity as she made her way to the door.
Upon opening it, she was greeted by Sung-Hee, dressed in a crop top and knee-length pants, a determined expression on her face.
"Hello, Mrs. Chae-Yoon. Is Seok-Woo home?" Sung-Hee inquired, her gaze scanning the interior of the house in search of her childhood friend.
"Seok-Woo arrived not long ago. He's in his room," Chae-Yoon informed Sung-Hee, a warm smile gracing her lips at the sight of her son's friend.
"May I speak with him? I have something important to discuss," Sung-Hee requested, eager to fulfill her promise to confront Seok-Woo.
"Of course, please come in," Chae-Yoon welcomed Sung-Hee inside, gesturing for her to enter. As Sung-Hee stepped over the threshold, her eyes fell upon the three women gathered in the living room, causing her to pause momentarily.
Sensing Sung-Hee's hesitation, Chae-Yoon quickly intervened, seeking to dispel any uncertainty. "These are my friends. And ladies, this is Sung-Hee, Seok-Woo's childhood friend," she introduced, bridging the gap between Sung-Hee and her companions with a warm smile.
As Sung-Hee took in the sight of Chae-Yoon and her friends, a fleeting thought crossed her mind. "Wow, they're all stunning. Even Auntie herself. I wish I could maintain my appearance as gracefully as they do as I age," she mused inwardly, admiring their timeless beauty.
With a slight bow, Sung-Hee introduced herself. "Hello, I'm Sung-Hee. It's a pleasure to meet you all," she greeted warmly, awaiting their responses.
Na-Yeon, however, couldn't hide her disdain at Sung-Hee's presence. "I didn't expect Seok-Woo to associate with someone like her. Her mere presence seems to set hearts racing," she thought to herself, feeling a pang of jealousy at the thought of her target being captivated by someone else.
Breaking the silence, Yu-Mi spoke up first. "Hi, Sung-Hee," she greeted with a friendly wave before posing a question. "Are you Seok-Woo's girlfriend?" she inquired, a playful smile tugging at her lips.
Sung-Hee's cheeks flushed at the unexpected question. "N-No, I'm not his girlfriend. I have no interest in him whatsoever," she replied quickly, refuting Yu-Mi's assumption with a hint of embarrassment at the suggestion.
Yu-Mi couldn't help but tease further, her hand covering her mouth to stifle a giggle. "Oh my, if you're not his girlfriend, then why are you blushing so much? Could be you have some feelings towards him?" she teased, finding amusement in Sung-Hee's reaction.
As Yu-Mi continued her teasing, Sung-Hee struggled to find a suitable retort, her mind consumed with Yu-Mi's words. Each repetition of the playful banter only served to fuel her growing frustration, making her feel as though steam might indeed come pouring out from her head.
"Stop teasing her, Yu-Mi. They're just good friends, nothing more," Chae-Yoon intervened, her tone gentle yet firm as she addressed Yu-Mi. Turning her attention to Sung-Hee, she offered a suggestion. "Sung-Hee, why don't you go up to Seok-Woo's room? He might be finished with his tasks by now."
Sung-Hee nodded in acknowledgment, grateful for the opportunity to escape the teasing. With a brief word of thanks to Chae-Yoon, she made her way to the stairs, each step a conscious effort to regain her composure. Inhaling deeply, she focused on her breathing, the rhythmic pattern helping to steady her nerves.
"Being Seok-Woo's girlfriend? No thanks. I'd rather work forever than be with him," she reasoned with herself, reaffirming her decision. "He's a scrawny loser and a wimp. Even after his military service, I don't expect him to change." With each thought, she felt a sense of calm wash over her, her resolve strengthened by her convictions.
Approaching Seok-Woo's room, Sung-Hee paused outside the door, her hand resting on the doorknob as she contemplated her next move. "Should I confront him immediately, or try to talk first before resorting to violence?" she pondered, weighing her options carefully.
After a moment of deliberation, she made her decision. With a determined expression, she turned the doorknob and pushed the door open with force, ready to face whatever awaited her inside.
Never thought that the unexpected sight before she altered Seok-Woo's perception in an instant.
Before the door was opened by Sung-Hee. Seok-Woo meticulously arranged his belongings. Once he finished, he decided to take off his clothes, leaving him clad only in his underwear. Peering down at the fabric, he noticed it was damp, a consequence of his body's response to the situation downstairs. "That's quite a bit of precum," he remarked to himself, swiftly resolving to change into a fresh pair.
With deliberate movements, he discarded his underwear, revealing his naked form to the world. His gaze shifted to his exposed member, contemplating its dimensions with a mix of curiosity and uncertainty. "The length seems satisfactory, but what about the girth? It's too big than I thought." he pondered aloud, considering how it might affect potential partners. The question lingered in his mind, a silent inquiry into the complexities of physical intimacy and its implications for both pleasure and comfort.
As Seok-Woo pondered his thoughts, the tranquility of his room was abruptly shattered by the forceful swing of the door. In strode Sung-Hee, her presence fills the space with an undeniable tension.
Their eyes met, and for a fleeting moment, time seemed to stand still as they exchanged awkward glances in the ensuing silence.
Sung-Hee's gaze traveled from Seok-Woo's face, registering the intensity of his expression, to his sculpted physique, every muscle defined with the unmistakable evidence of dedication and effort.
But it was when her eyes descended to his exposed member that her reaction was most pronounced. With widened eyes and quickened breaths, she found herself captivated by its size, a realization dawning upon her with each passing moment. "It's... it's much larger than I expected," she thought to herself, her mind racing with a mix of shock and intrigue.
Regaining her composure, Sung-Hee turned her attention back to Seok-Woo, her voice rising in a blend of disbelief and frustration. "Why on earth are you walking around naked in your own room, you dumbass?" she exclaimed, her words reverberating with a force that belied her surprise.
The sudden outburst echoed through the house, drawing the attention of those below. Startled by the unexpected commotion, the four women exchanged puzzled glances before swiftly making their way upstairs, eager to uncover the source of the commotion.
Seok-Woo swiftly wrapped a towel around his waist in an attempt to conceal the member, though its prominent outline remained undeniable.
"Why don't you knock before barging in like a lunatic?" Seok-Woo fired back, his tone laced with irritation at the intrusion.
Upstairs, the four women hurriedly reached Seok-Woo's room, their curiosity piqued by the sudden uproar. Casting their gaze upon Seok-Woo's physique, they couldn't help but notice the telltale bulge beneath the towel, prompting a flurry of Interest Points from among them.
As their eyes lingered on the conspicuous bulge, "Should I be happy or not?". Seok-Woo found himself torn between amusement and discomfort, unsure of how to react to the unexpected attention to his towel-clad form. Despite earning Interest Points for his Rolls.
