Gop-hwa burns away the effects sticking to Yeon-hwa.
It’s not a difficult task. Usually, it would be impossible, but for me, it’s doable.
“Much easier than Baek Ahrin’s.”
To put it bluntly, there’s no comparison.
The curse clinging to Baek Ahrin is difficult to just rip off, and ‘safely’ getting rid of it is even tougher.
It’s not just about melting it with Gop-hwa; I need to understand ice and be closely connected to Baek Ahrin in that moment.
Anyway.
Gentle and soft Gop-hwa. Sensitivity and control through magical affinity. Detailed information collection through observation.
If I combine those elements, I can definitely burn the effects of the hated potion.
– Fwoosh…
The Gop-hwa gently attached to Hong Yeon-hwa began to burn softly. No matter what, it’s impossible to eliminate it all at once, so I carefully burn the edges of the potion’s effects.
– Fwoosh…!
“Huh?”
Have I burned about half of it? Next to my Gop-hwa, Hong Yeon-hwa’s Gop-hwa flared up.
A small size that could be called a spark. But the flames were thick and shimmering, looking oddly sticky.
And that wasn’t all.
I felt a sticky gaze poking the top of my head.
As I raised my eyes slightly in my chest, I saw beautiful, bright red eyes staring down at me.
Those pretty, stunningly red eyes. A myriad of emotions flickered like flames within them.
I couldn’t interpret them all, but I could feel the strong affection swirling like honey.
“Hehe…”
Feeling that affection flows entirely to me, I couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Ha-yul, can I hold your hand?”
“Sure.”
As I chuckled, Yeon-hwa suddenly asked.
I nodded without hesitation, and smiling, Yeon-hwa caressed my right hand.
“Your hand is so soft…”
“Hehe, that tickles…”
Her slender fingers tangled with mine, teasing me playfully.
She brushed against my fingerprints, gently poked my fingernails, and licked each knuckle. Eventually, she intertwined our five fingers together.
“Is it really okay? Like, you’re not just holding back because you dislike it, right?”
“Uh-huh… I really like it…”
[Like]
“You’re not against holding hands, right?”
“I like it.”
[Like]
[Warm]
She repeated similar questions several times. Each softly muttered inquiry carried an undeniable hint of anxiety.
As I nodded like a bobblehead, the anxiety on Yeon-hwa’s face began to fade gradually.
“Okay, I’m glad…”
The brief series of questions finally came to an end. With a relieved sigh, Yeon-hwa buried her nose in my hair.
“Ahh…”
Her warm breath tangled with my hair, making my body shudder slightly.
She wrapped her remaining arm around my waist and pulled me closer, deep into her embrace.
In a moment of awkwardness, we found ourselves tangled, with one hand held and each of us burying our noses in the other’s hair and chest.
Though I didn’t plan to bury my nose in her chest wrapped in a white robe, it felt incredibly embarrassing to let someone else smell me.
– Fwoosh…
The Gop-hwa continued to burn softly, while Yeon-hwa’s Gop-hwa deepened in color.
“I almost burned it all away.”
It took a bit longer to burn the potion’s effects. I was cautious about any potential issues, which stretched out the time.
Now only the remnants of the potion’s effects remained. Looking outside through observation, I saw a vivid orange sunset painting the tall dormitory building’s exterior.
Since I had informed her that it might take some time, I didn’t worry about being late.
– Fwoosh!
At last, Gop-hwa spread out and engulfed the last remnants of the potion’s effects.
“All done…!”
The strange atmosphere surrounding Yeon-hwa peeled away.
As I lifted my head with a smile, Yeon-hwa’s familiar face filled my view.
The annoying sensation of being poked in the head had disappeared. The effects of the hated potion had been cleared away.
“…Sniff sniff?”
As I reveled in successfully burning away the potion’s effects, my nose suddenly twitched.
The scent of Yeon-hwa returned as the effects disappeared. Not only her unique body scent but also the milky scent wafting gently from her chest had returned.
My head tilted.
I glanced down from staring at Yeon-hwa’s face to her chest, where I had just been buried.
Her chest wrapped in a white robe.
The curves were clearly outlined, soft and plush. Being buried felt incredibly cozy, warm, and the milky scent was strong.
Now that I think about it, my face seemed to be buried deeper than usual.
[Huh? Milk…]
Most of all, the milky scent was thick. Normally, Yeon-hwa’s chest had a milky smell, but now it was much denser.
Unconsciously, my mouth opened slightly, and my tongue filled with saliva.
Could it be an illusion? Maybe it feels that way because I was just smelling another scent…
“What’s wrong?”
Yeon-hwa’s hand that had been stroking my back lifted to gently grasp my chin. My head tilted back, and her slightly smiling face filled my view.
“Is something weird?”
At her question, my mouth, which had been agape, started to mumble.
“Umm… It’s just… the scent is stronger.”
“Huh? What kind of scent?”
“The milky scent…”
“Oh? Hmm… I don’t know, really…”
Yeon-hwa tilted her head slightly, and a flush crept to her cheeks. Her eyes, filled with tension or perhaps anticipation, rounded innocently.
“Want to check, Ha-yul?”
“Check…?”
“Uh-huh, check.”
Yeon-hwa nodded, suddenly leaning forward.
The chest that had been a distance away came closer.
Her chest brushed against my nose just shy of touching. The warmth and scent felt through the white robe made me gulp.
Check. I didn’t bother asking what it meant. I stared blankly, then used my newly freed hands to part the front of the robe.
As the white robe opened to the sides, the first color to catch my eye was red.
Red clothing, comparable to Yeon-hwa’s hair and eyes.
But it was too thin for outerwear, and the skin was fully visible.
The upper chest and valleys that the clothing didn’t cover were bare and flushed white.
The well-defined waist and cute belly button shone faintly through the fabric.
What an enticing sight. As I stared blankly, Yeon-hwa, grinning with satisfaction, stretched out her arms.
“Here…”
With her arms wide open, her welcoming embrace seemed to spread out before me.
There was no need to hesitate. My face went forward as if pulled by a magnet.
First, I rubbed my nose against the bare upper chest. The sensation of skin dampened by sweat and body heat, mixed with the rich milky scent, filled my senses.
It had deepened significantly. It wasn’t an illusion. The milky scent was much stronger now.
At that moment, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind.
Now that I think about it, I had never actually touched Yeon-hwa’s chest.
I cautiously glanced to see Yeon-hwa still watching my actions with a caring expression.
So, carefully, I raised my right hand and gently squeezed her chest.
– Squeeze…
“Wow…”
My fingers sunk into the plushness of her chest.
The sensation that clung to my hand through the clothing was astonishing, but even more so, the warmth from deep within was mesmerizing.
It was so warm that I didn’t want to pull my hand back. Grabbing tightly, the mingling of temperature and texture was heavenly.
– Squeeze squeeze…
“Ahh… wait a minute…”
Yeon-hwa, who had been leaning forward, suddenly grabbed my hand gently to stop me.
“Just a sec… if you keep squeezing, I think it’ll spill out…”
[?]
[Spill out…?]
I blinked at the strange term, feeling a pout as she held my hand.
That strange term. The intensified milky scent and her chest, larger than usual.
As those thoughts collided in my mind, a rather scandalous expectation arose, making my mouth water.
After all, the stats of Yeon-hwa’s body were still in my head, updated in real-time to burn the potion’s effects.
I had intentionally chosen to ignore inappropriate parts, but I had seen some things.
“Uh-huh.”
Taking a breath, Yeon-hwa smiled kindly.
She gave my cheek a light peck.
“Just wait a little. Soon… hehehe, I’ll give you a taste later.”
As she said that, Yeon-hwa tucked her hair back behind her ear and bowed her head.
“Peck…”
The moist sensation on my lips. As our breaths mixed, anticipation for her chest momentarily settled, and my eyes unconsciously began to droop shut.
In that direct exchange of affection, my body and mind melted away. Though my eyes struggled to stay open, I forced myself to keep them that way.
But somehow, Yeon-hwa’s eyes right in front of me were closed.
[Yeon-hwa!]
[Show me your eyes!]
As I shook my body and whined, only then did her affectionate eyes open to meet mine.
It was a simple act of locking eyes, yet it felt delightful.
Eyes are said to be the mirror of the heart, right? I could understand why such sayings exist when I saw all those emotions reflected in her eyes.
[Hehe…]
I wrapped my arms around Yeon-hwa’s neck, and her eyes gleamed as she smiled.
Then, the hand that had been stroking my back slipped lower and firmly grasped my bottom.
– Squeeze…!
“Hik…”
[Heck!]
A tingling sensation washed over my back. At my reaction, Yeon-hwa’s smile brightened, and I whimpered, pressing my lips against hers.
It felt familiar. Just like before, I snuggled up, acted spoiled, and kissed Yeon-hwa…
– Tap tap…
“…?!”
The one thing that felt different was the damp sensation softly tapping my lips.
Like a gentle knock, the sensation rhythmically rapped against my lips. The source? Obviously Yeon-hwa’s tongue. My eyelids fluttered in surprise.
Being in each other’s embrace, burying my face in her chest, inhaling her scent, and kissing was becoming much more familiar now.
But the tongue, the tongue… I had never mixed tongues before. Being unfamiliar, anxiety and fear surged.
“Peck…”
[Wait, just a moment…!]
The reason for my hesitance wasn’t just that.
Yeon-hwa had escaped the curse, and my senses and speech were open to her.
If we were connected, I could see, smell, and taste each other.
“Taste it.”
“Why? Don’t want to?”
Yeon-hwa pulled back slightly and asked. Her bright red eyes fixed on me earnestly.
Her question felt reminiscent of a certain night, yet I turned my gaze away, my face cherry red.
“It’s not that, um… just… give me a little time…”
[Okay]
Click…
[Okay]
[Do it]
[Give me a peck]
[Peck peck…!]
Click click… The voice of the meddlesome necklace stunned my brain for a moment. Yeon-hwa, with wide eyes, broke into a gleeful smile.
“What, you want it? Hehe, feeling shy?”
“That’s not it…”
– Squeeze…!
“Hik…”
My hands, which had slightly paused, gripped her rear firmly again, while another hand gently grasped my chin and pulled me in for a kiss.
Suddenly, the tension in my body stiffened, as her tongue persistently tapped my lips.
“Mm, peck… huh?!”
[Okay]
The facilitated kiss, perhaps encouraged by the necklace, felt overwhelmingly forceful.
Her hand gripping my rear didn’t stop after a playful squeeze but kept holding on tight.
With one hand, she tilted my chin backward, forcing my mouth open.
“Mm, no, uh…!”
[Okay]
Pleasure surged and heated my body and mind.
In that moment, Yeon-hwa suddenly pulled back just enough to whisper.
“I love you.”
“…! Mmm…”
As soon as my mouth, previously tightly sealed, opened, Yeon-hwa’s eyes glimmered vividly in front of me.
And then, a piece of flesh slid between my lips. It was relatively long and moist. It lightly tapped against my teeth a few times before brushing against my tongue.
– Zzt…!
“Helk…”
My body trembled, akin to an electric shock.
In an instant, my vision flashed brightly, forcing my eyes wide open. I could taste the sensation touching my tongue.
Yeon-hwa’s saliva.
After nearly a year devoid of taste, I experienced a properly enriching flavor.
Unlike the occasional minuscule amount that slipped in by accident, this direct connection was a different dimension of sensation.
Merging flavors brought memories of when my taste buds were active vividly back to life. Compared to that, it was indescribably sweet.
The moment my focus blurred and my vision dimmed.
[Okay]
[Okay, okay, okay]
[Delicious]
[Happy]
[Ecstasy]
“Mm, slurp, yum…”
[Delicious…!]
I instinctively began to suck on her tongue, and our mixed saliva erupted into a flavor explosion in my mouth.
“Slurp, yum…”
[Delicious]
A flood of minor thoughts swept away, and the once tightly sealed mouth went slack, intertwining my arms around Yeon-hwa’s neck loosely.
“Slurp, slurp…?”
[Don’t go…!]
How much time had passed? My tongue, fervently savoring, suddenly slipped from her mouth.
With no barrier to stop me now, I opened my mouth wide in surprise.
The sudden emptiness left by her absence felt strangely hollow.
“Eh…”
Trying to rediscover her lost tongue, I too extended my tongue.
“…Wow, crap.”
– Fwoosh…!
The sticky Gop-hwa that had been swirling just above Yeon-hwa mixed with the remnants of my own Gop-hwa.
