Childhood Friend Edification Theory - CHAPTER 1.3 - R19

01.Childhood friends – Part 3

Whenever Haea encountered a difficult situation for the first time, she always sought Jaeha’s guidance. She had grown up that way, so it was expected, and it was so natural that she never questioned why.

Now her ch*st felt tight, as if she had said something she shouldn’t have.

‘Jaeha, in this situation?’

Her fingertips trembled. Just because Jaeha had called her first didn’t mean she had to do the same. Still, the familiar word that stuck to her mind like a magnet turned everything upside down and inside out.

“Uhm… uhh…“

Haea whimpered, rubbing her knees together. Her vision was blurred, but she didn’t want to stop the fleeting pl*asure she felt. This was undoubtedly pl*asure. She thought of him and rubbed her cl*toris, naturally becoming ar*used.

She had no time to think deeply as she enjoyed this newly discovered secret that she was learning for the first time. Her petty heart tightened, but even if blood gushed out, she probably wouldn’t notice it now. The hot flow of blood stimulated her as it coursed through her skin. The heat, rising all over her body, slowly pushed deep into her belly. It felt like a violent wave was about to crash in like a tsunami.

“Ah... what do I do…”

But it didn’t come crashing down. It just teased her, making her more anxious as she bit her lips. The door rattled again.

Knock, knock.

The sound of a quick, precise knock left a harsh sensation on her fingertips. Instinctively, sparks flew through her brain.

“Hah!“

Her already tense body curled up and a cry escaped her lips. Someone was standing behind the door. Her vision blurred at the thought of who it might be. Flushed with embarrassment and shame, her neck turned red as she trembled like a frightened rabbit.

“It’s me.”

‘It’s me, not anyone else’. That’s what he meant.

“Should I leave?”

She wasn’t allowed to hesitate, not even for a second. Her mind was blank, but he said he didn’t mind going back.

They both knew each other’s front door passwords. It wasn’t unusual for him to walk in without saying a word. He was the kind of person who could leave quietly and bury this incident if necessary.

“W-wait!”

Haea stood up hastily. She was torn between pulling her panties up around her ankles or changing into something else. After a brief moment of indecision, she pulled her damp panties up.

“Ugh!“

The panties, now cold from the breeze that had passed through, scratched her warm insides. The involuntary sound she made startled her and caused her eyes to widen in surprise. The door rattled again at her sudden movement.

‘He must have heard everything! What if he thinks I didn’t stop because I knew he was there? What if he thinks I’m a pervert?’

Tears welled up in her eyes.

“Yun Haea.”

She heard his deep, calm voice. After a ‘thud’ sound, she reassured him quietly as she remained unresponsive.

“Come in.”

The door had never been locked.

Jaeha opened the door without hesitation, but couldn’t quite step inside because something was blocking his way. Haea, feeling his gaze on her, cautiously took small steps backwards, hunching her body.

Jaeha stepped through the open door and lifted Haea into his arms. He placed her on the bed and took a few steps back. She didn’t lift her face the whole time. She was too busy biting her lips from the sensation of her damp panties that stuck to her.

“Don’t you even want to see my face?”

“…..”

“Is it because I m*sturbated while calling your name?”

Haea’s head shot up. His face, as always, looked bored and cold. She quickly looked away and bit her lip.

“You say that so casually…”

“What is it? Does what you see change if I don’t say it out loud?”

His tone was shameless, almost as if he felt no embarrassment at all.

“I…”

“You’re not my sister.”

Jaeha interrupted Haea as she tried to speak, drawing a line between them. For the first time, she felt excluded beyond his borders. The coldness of his words struck her, leaving her frozen in shock.

“And I’m not your brother.”

His eyes, as if stating mere facts, stared down at her intensely, putting pressure on the back of her neck. Even though he was only a few steps away, it felt like he was right next to her, biting into her neck. He grabbed her limp fingers.

“It’s w*t.”

Startled by his matter-of-fact statement, Haea’s face began to redden.

“Have you been crying?”

Ah. Relief and suffocation filled her ch*st at the same time.

“I was just… surprised…”

“You need to explain properly, Haea.”

His low voice came from close by, as if he had swallowed honey, soft as if he was comforting a child. But it was clearly a threat. The one person she never thought would be a threat now cast a dark shadow over her.

“I don’t care if you m*sturbate thinking about me.”

“What…?”

“You thought I wouldn’t know?”

“You heard…”

“No. I didn’t need to hear. You’ve been copying everything I’ve done since you were little.”

“…..”

“I didn’t think you were still a virgin when it came to m*sturbation, though.”

As she flinched, the corners of Jaeha’s eyes arched mischievously. So that’s it. He was not only intelligent, but also had an exceptionally sharp intuition, almost animalistic. He would make an educated guess and then use his peculiar way of speaking to confirm whether it was right or wrong.

This peculiar way of speaking was useful in uncovering Haea’s secrets. He made it so that she couldn’t hide anything, and made sure that she always contacted him first when something happened. One by one, he greedily devoured everything, filling his belly with her secrets.

“Ha Jaeha!”

Haea, having hit the nail on the head, took a deep breath and became angry.

“Well, hasn’t the person who should be angry changed? You were the one who saw it first. Also for quite a while.”

His voice ended on a sharp, concise note, with nothing left to drag on. Haea’s momentum faltered slightly.

“That… I’m sorry.”

“An apology is not necessary. So there’s nothing to forgive either.”

Jaeha declared coldly. It seemed like he was saying ‘let’s get this over with’. She was so scared that she thought she had done something wrong.

“W-what do you mean?”

“Become the person who’s allowed to see such things.”

“I don’t understand what you’re saying.”

“Are you going to pretend that you don’t understand? Or do you not like me to watch?”

“What… watching what?”

Jaeha slowly closed his eyes, then opened them. His look, sharp as a blade, indicated that he wouldn’t tolerate any more childishness and that she should step out of his shadow.

“Do as you please.”

He turned and tried to leave.

“I-I get it!”

Frightened, Haea blurted out the truth she had been hiding.

“You think it’s only fair if you watch too. I’ll show you! I’ll show you, okay?”

“Hah.“

A sharp laugh escaped him. His eyes looked like cold glass behind his spectacles.

“Can you really do it? You must be careful what you say.”

But Haea saw no other way.

“It’s fine.”

“….”

“Jaeha, you’re… it’s okay.”

Haea looked at him and whispered earnestly. She didn’t quite understand yet. It was all too sudden. He was trying to destroy their relationship, which had solidified over ten years, in an instant.

“Shall I do it like before? You heard everything….. outside, didn’t you?”
