Speak of The Devil

I didn’t reply, but Jung Yiyeon left a casual greeting as he pleased. As he left, he picked up the scattered clothes on the floor.As the space that was occupied by just the two of us became empty with Jung Yiyeon’s departure, a moment of silence enveloped the house. Only then did I yawn, rising from my seat.There was no energy left, but I felt simply lethargic, overflowing with satisfaction. Although my legs seemed wobbly and my hands shaky, it didn’t matter as no one was watching. When I moved, the inside felt tenderly sore for a moment, but soon, I got used to it. Holding onto my aching waist, I entered the bathroom Jung Yiyeon had used after his shower.Perhaps, he hadn’t done anything other than sweating for hangover relief. When I woke up in the morning, I felt dizzy and nauseous, but after tumbling around with Jung Yiyeon for a while, there was no hangover left. Only a bit low on energy due to the aftermath of our affair. Even that wasn’t uncomfortable.…What am I really doing here? I felt that vague thought again, but my energy-drained mind gave up on thinking properly. Anyway, it was hard to move right now… Rationalizing, I turned on the hot water. The hot water stream cleansing my sticky body felt refreshing.After leisurely washing, I opened the wardrobe and found another gown hanging there besides the suit Jung Yiyeon wore the previous day. Since I couldn’t see my own clothes anywhere, I put on the gown for now.I felt a bit uneasy. What if… What if I didn’t throw up on my clothes? If I were completely naked without a shirt or pants, it would be quite embarrassing.After becoming clean and fresh, I couldn’t bear lying down on the bed where Jung Yiyeon and I tangled. I simply went downstairs to the first floor. There were several doors in the hallway, but still maintaining my sense of propriety, I hesitated to open them randomly in someone else’s house.Eventually, I went downstairs to the first floor, took water from the kitchen refrigerator, and, after drinking, moved to the living room with a TV, where a large sofa awaited. I lay down, turning on the TV, waiting for Jung Yiyeon. I was starting to get hungry.When I sensed his presence and woke up, Jung Yiyeon was in front of me. He paused for a moment when he put a bag of food on the table upon seeing me awake.“Sleep more.”Only when Jung Yiyeon spoke those words did I realize I had dozed off while watching TV. Although Jung Yiyeon suggested more sleep, I blinked away sleepiness and got up. It was time to fill my stomach and go home.“What did you get?”“Hangover soup. Want to have some ox bone broth?”Then, what should I eat if I remove the ox bone from the ox bone hangover soup? I nodded roughly.“Do you want to eat at the dining table?”“Just eat here.”In response to my words, Jung Yiyeon took plastic containers out of the bag. There were two containers of hangover soup, one with the ox bone separately. Also, there was a portion of water kimchi and napa cabbage kimchi.After opening the plastic lids, I scooped out about half of the ox bone and put it in the soup. And then, I started eating rice. Despite feeling drowsy after falling asleep and waking up, the smell of the food intensified my hunger. My stomach was eagerly shouting for hot soup.The hangover soup Jung Yiyeon brought was very delicious. The broth had a deep and refreshing taste, and the ox bone was fresh and tender. Considering it was packed in plastic containers, each grain of rice was alive and well. It seemed like a taste that would come back to me later when I drank again.Sweet napa cabbage kimchi and slightly fermented, tangy, and crunchy water kimchi paired exceptionally well. While concentrating on eating due to hunger, I realized why Jung Yiyeon asked me why I was eating ox bone. It was because Jung Yiyeon didn’t touch the ox bone at all.Maybe he thought it was too childlike. I chuckled inwardly at his subtle attempt to distance himself from my side while eating. Of course, I had thought it was amazing and cute when he did that.At first, I thought I could do a one-shot since I was hungry, but when I had eaten about half, my stomach was full. It seemed like the aftermath of the hangover was still lingering, or maybe it was because I ate a bit less of the ox bone that Jung Yiyeon didn’t touch.Anyway, I didn’t want to eat more, so I used water to cleanse my palate. I felt like getting up, but even if I did, where would I go? I couldn’t go out in a gown. I patiently waited for Jung Yiyeon to finish his meal.In fact, I wanted to lie down. My stomach was full, and I just wanted to sprawl out. My body was still tired, and I felt sluggish. It was a bit floaty, like when you have a mild fever, but not exactly sick, just overall groggy.“But why are you sleeping here?” Without knowing my eagerness to lie down or my desire to go home quickly, Jung Yiyeon asked while still eating.“The bed feels sticky.”“You could sleep in another room. There are many bedrooms.”Can’t just open any room randomly, right? Since he was saying something absurd, I didn’t respond. Watching me like that, Jung Yiyeon smirked.“Well, you were cautious even at your house.”I realized that it was a remark about when I went to Jung Yiyeon’s house. Now that I think about it, at that time, Jung Yiyeon was a bit strange. Even though we agreed to have sex, he left me alone in his house after mixing our bodies for the second time and went to work. Although I worked as a secretary for over half a year, it was only eight months in total. We were just a boss and a subordinate, and Jung Yiyeon and I were never in an intimate relationship.On the contrary, I could never leave Jung Yiyeon alone at my house. There was nothing in my house, but still, I didn’t want to leave a sex partner alone in my space. However, Jung Yiyeon had just left me alone in his house.Maybe he had some trust in me. Or was it some kind of test? A mischievous thought flashed through my mind, and I looked at Jung Yiyeon with suspicion.“…Do you have CCTV installed at your house?”“No way. You were even cautious when coming in for a glass of water.”Although I had a stalker tendency to rummage through the trash in the car of the man I had a crush on, I never casually opened someone else’s house. Even when I was alone at Jung Yiyeon’s house, all I used was the bathroom, and I unintentionally glanced around the living room before leaving.So, it was only natural that I was cautious the next time I went. At that time, I couldn’t know how much of Jung Yiyeon’s private space was allowed for me, and it was difficult to ask. I didn’t dare to be curious about the spaces Jung Yiyeon didn’t introduce me to. So, even when I asked if I could have a glass of water, it was out of basic courtesy.Of course, there seemed to be many people in the world who didn’t consider such things as common sense. Anyway, that was my sense.“Well, you lack any sense of caution.”“I didn’t touch the doorknob of other rooms either.”“Don’t you remember taking out my house key card freely and going in and out?”“If someone hears, they might think you’ve been going in and out when I’m not around. Can’t help it; I didn’t want to wake up the sleeping person. Cut me some slack.”I was speechless at Jung Yiyeon’s shamelessness.Again, at that time, I didn’t even consider it a problem that Jung Yiyeon, while I was asleep, casually wore my pants, took my house key card, went out for exercise, and bought something to eat at the convenience store. I was just thrilled by his appearance in my pants, excited by the fact that he entered my house as if he were my lover, and found it cute that he bought convenience store lunch. At that time, I just let it go, and I didn’t have any intention to bring up the past.“Don’t you want more?”Unlike me, Jung Yiyeon finished everything, including the rice and soup. When I nodded, he skillfully tidied up the plastic containers. I also covered mine roughly and pushed it into the bag he brought.“Now, let’s go to Seoul.”I stood up with the bag and told him. We had sex, filled our stomachs, and there was no reason to stay together anymore.Jung Yiyeon, holding the bag, headed towards the kitchen, shrugging his shoulders.“Have a cup of coffee.”Why bother having coffee if we can drink it when we get home? I thought about protesting but didn’t have the energy, so I sprawled on the sofa without getting up. After eating, my body felt heavier, and I wanted to lie down. So, using the sofa cushion as a pillow, I stretched out on the sofa.After filling my stomach, my hands and feet warmed up, and my head sank more into a drowsy feeling than before. In the midst of this haze, I suddenly burst into laughter at the absurdity of the current situation. It seemed unbelievable to have such a peaceful time between Jung Yiyeon and me.It was mind-boggling and absurd. Jung Yiyeon had done such things to me, and now, in my lethargy, I found it amusing how lenient even I could be. Was this some kind of Stockholm Syndrome, or had the morning sex drained not only my energy but also my common sense?Either way, my current state was too lethargic and hazy. I couldn’t muster any combat power. Feeling strangely light and airy, I couldn’t help but let out a hollow laugh in the midst of my drowsiness.It was absurdly amusing how, after all the tricks Jung Yiyeon played on me, I, in my current lethargy, was so lenient.From somewhere, the scent of coffee began to waft gently. Could it be that the coffee aroma contained no caffeine at all? As if inhaling an aroma that aids in a sound sleep, I found myself slowly succumbing to drowsiness for a moment.When I opened my eyes, the world was still bright. I’m not sure how long I slept, but it seemed like a deep slumber. Waking up felt like being resurrected from death in a funeral home. Thanks to that, my physical condition seemed a bit better than before. At least now, my hands and feet didn’t tremble, and my legs didn’t feel as wobbly.I was still lying on the sofa, just as before. However, unlike earlier, a thin summer blanket covered me. It was a bit surprising to discover that I had slept without realizing someone had covered me.Rubbing my eyes with the back of my hand, the world became a bit brighter. Unconsciously, I turned my gaze to the spot where Jung Yiyeon had been sitting earlier.Surprisingly, Jung Yiyeon was still there. Sitting on the single sofa, he was flipping through some documents. Thick documents were also piled up on the table where we had the hangover soup.Was it something he brought from work when he came over yesterday? Did he go out to get them and come back while I was still asleep? Absentmindedly, I propped myself up with my elbows.“Are you awake?”“What time is it?”“It’s a little past five.”His words startled me. I couldn’t properly calculate how many hours I had slept. Since waking up around eleven in the morning, I had lost track of time.“How’s your stomach?”“Oh, well…”My stomach was perfectly fine. I was just a bit perplexed. Although it seemed like it hadn’t been long since it became bright outside, it was just the summer sun setting late.I was still in my gown. Trying to cover my exposed skin that had been revealed while sleeping, I asked Jung Yiyeon.“My clothes?”“Put these on.”Jung Yiyeon handed me a paper bag that he had leaned against the side of the table. Inside, there was a box that looked like it could contain underwear and clothes. The neatly packaged appearance clearly indicated that they were new and not mine.No… Suddenly, a thought that had crossed my mind before falling asleep came to me. Did I really… Did I really drink some strange liquor or something and get drunk? That’s why my clothes got dirty…?And where did Jung Yiyeon suddenly get new clothes…?“Your clothes got a bit dirty, so it’s hard to wear them.”“…Did I throw up?”“Not really…”“No… What on earth did I do?”By this point, I became too curious about the time I couldn’t remember. Although I knew it was wise to leave things I couldn’t recall alone, I couldn’t resist asking. What on earth did I do to make both Jung Yiyeon and myself so heated, rendering my clothes unwearable?A faint smile appeared on Jung Yiyeon’s lips as he looked at me.“This guy Inan suggested having sex, and he came onto me.”What?“Being so proactive, even though you couldn’t open your eyes and control your body properly. You didn’t even take your hands off my butt?”No…“So, I tried to respond to your expectations, but you just fell asleep like that.”… I shouldn’t have asked.The history of mistakes written by my own hand while drunk—this was not something I should inquire about. I should have known that if it didn’t stay in my memory, there was no need to remember it.I made a move on him?? Didn’t take my hands off his butt?? If I heard Jung Yiyeon correctly, it sounded like I had completely dominated him while intoxicated.Of course, it’s true that sexual desire intensifies when you’re drunk, but I had never made a mistake like this before. At least, I had rarely been so drunk that I couldn’t remember anything.No, damn it. What kind of liquor did Jung Yiyeon give me yesterday?? It was sweet and smooth, making it easy to drink, but I didn’t expect to face this situation.Was it called “Sogokju”? If I drink that again, I’m not human. No, if I ever drink alcohol again, I’ll turn into Conan.“Is there a bathroom on the first floor?”“Over there.”Ah, damn it. I want to smack that pretending-to-smile face so badly. Suppressing the rising irritation, I turned towards where Jung Yiyeon pointed. My face felt hot.Entering the bathroom, I took out a new toothbrush, brushed my teeth, and washed my face. After tidying up my slightly disheveled hair with a bit of water, I changed into the provided clothes, removing the gown. The items neatly packaged in a luxurious box included underwear, black jeans, and a light apricot-colored shirt. Everything fit perfectly, especially the feeling of the shirt snugly embracing my body. The box, along with the brand, was unfamiliar to me, but it seemed like quite expensive stuff.When did Jung Yiyeon prepare all this? Although curious, I didn’t bother asking him. Whatever Jung Yiyeon prepared for me was something I didn’t need to know.Exiting the bathroom, I headed to the villa. In front of the villa, a well-paved driveway extended from the parking space to the gate, and Jung Yiyeon’s car was parked along that path.Jung Yiyeon sat in the driver’s seat, and I took the passenger seat. However, he didn’t start the car after turning on the ignition. When I looked at him, our eyes met.“Let’s eat dinner.”“I don’t want to.”My refusal popped out naturally, like water flowing. If we had dinner together yesterday evening and this morning, why would I want to have dinner with Jung Yiyeon again? Although my body was in a relatively good condition thanks to a deep nap, I had no intention of having dinner with Jung Yiyeon.“Let’s eat, and stay for one more day. Tomorrow is Sunday.”Perhaps he thought there was a distinction between weekends and weekdays for someone like me who was unemployed. I couldn’t understand why spending another day here until Sunday had any significance.Besides, we could eat and then go to sleep. Is Jung Yiyeon truly obsessed with sex? We did it this morning, and now he wants to do it again?“Oh, what the…”Instead of saying such nonsense, I shut my mouth and refrained from making the suggestion to head back to Seoul. When I thought about it, my goal was to fill up ten times quickly and part ways with Jung Yiyeon. Since I came this far, doing it twice didn’t seem so bad.The only problem was my physical condition.“…I don’t think I can go for another round.”Jung Yiyeon had only ejaculated once, but I was squeezed to the point where nothing more would come out, only a trickle of water. It was absurd; did he experience the climax without ejaculating? Unlike ejaculation, the continuously lingering pleasure that arose without end suddenly came to mind, and my body felt a tingling sensation.It was a bit embarrassing, but it was a thrilling pleasure. For me, who explored the joys of sex as much as, if not more than, Jung Yiyeon, it was a new experience. It wasn’t that I disliked it, but…“I’ll get you up.”I was taken aback by Jung Yiyeon’s words. The subtle yet explicit movement of his tongue subtly brushing against my lips was discreet yet blatant.“If I get you up, are you going to sleep?”…Suddenly, I felt that Jung Yiyeon was a truly objective handsome man. It wasn’t that I was moved by his face as when he had the condom on, but I couldn’t deny that his face, tempting me, was handsome. Even if I hated Jung Yiyeon, he was undeniably good-looking.I didn’t reply, but Jung Yiyeon chuckled and took hold of the steering wheel. Soon, the car began to move. While looking out the window for no reason, I asked:“What are we going to eat?”“Pine nut rice.”…No, isn’t Gapyeong famous for pine nuts?… Is there a menu with that name? I was left alone in confusion by Jung Yiyeon’s statement, without a single laugh. And when we arrived at the restaurant, I realized. The joke about pine nut rice was indeed not a funny one. The menu only listed pine nut noodles and pine nut bibimbap. Of course, the taste was good.***When I woke up in the early morning, Jung Yiyeon’s chest was against my back. It was not much different from when I fell asleep yesterday. Could it be that I was still nestled in his embrace?I blinked my eyes to shake off the remaining drowsiness, and I freed Jung Yiyeon’s arm wrapped around my waist. Rising from bed, the mattress was soft, but as soon as my buttocks touched it, the area that touched first made a groaning sound, resonating throughout my body from my waist to my spine. I almost let out a surprised sound.Rubbing my aching waist, I sighed deeply. Despite sleeping deeply and waking up, the lingering effects were due to last night’s sex being excessively intense.After having a meal with Jung Yiyeon and returning inside, I took a bath. One of the bathrooms in the villa had a jacuzzi, so, before having sex, I entered to soak my body. However, Jung Yiyeon brought sweet white wine in an ice bucket, and enticed by the temptation of refreshing wine while soaking in the water, I couldn’t resist.…Jung Yiyeon kept getting close, and we even kissed a bit. Of course, there was a slight resistance, but being slightly drunk and considering it as a prelude to sex, there seemed to be nothing I couldn’t do.When the two of us finished a bottle of wine, the intoxication was just right, and the atmosphere was pleasantly warm. After washing up, we moved to the bedroom and had sex.I was surprised by my own stamina. Just sharing a peculiar kiss in the bathtub was enough to build up excitement, and when Jung Yiyeon licked and sucked my chest and genitals on the bed, I truly got an erection again.“Are we going to sleep?”Looking down at me, who was panting with a firm lower part, Jung Yiyeon smiled as if he was delighted. Seeing his satisfied face, I burst into a dry laughter.However, that amazing feeling didn’t last long. His fingers, covered in gel, dug into the area between my legs and made me rigid. My sensibility flickered as if it would go out any moment from the pleasure that seemed to be soon like rice cakes. And when Jung Yiyeon’s genitals penetrated me, my reason flew away cleanly.We tried various positions—missionary, rear-entry, sideways—and eventually returned to the missionary position. Jung Yiyeon rolled me around, stirring my insides for a long time. There was no end to the climax in the prolonged and persistent lovemaking. Whole-body kisses, bites, and licks added to the overflowing pleasure. It was an excessively satisfying sex.I don’t know how many times I reached climax without ejaculation. While giving me ecstasy for a long time, around the time I wanted to stop, Jung Yiyeon ejaculated and then sucked my genitals afterward. I did vomit a little, but the feeling of being penetrated was more intense than that.I never knew I would feel like this in my life… Jung Yiyeon was the only one who satisfied me in such a way through the sex I initiated.Lying on my side, panting heavily, I remembered Jung Yiyeon embracing me from behind while I was exhausted. Feeling the man’s entire body against my neck and the back of my head, kissing with his lips, and embracing my waist, I felt a bit dazed again. But, undoubtedly, it was a satisfying sex.In Jung Yiyeon’s arms, I received tender aftercare until I fell asleep, exhausted.“…Haah…. I must be crazy.”Now, the only thought that came to mind was that. The dawn had broken, and the morning light streamed through the curtain, painting it with a faint glow. I stared at it blankly and chuckled a bit, feeling overwhelmed and somewhat empty.It was mind-boggling that I could have such sex with Jung Yiyeon at this point. There was a time when I thought even having forced sex in a completely estranged state of mind was impossible, but now, I was confidently experiencing passionate intercourse. I never imagined such a day would come, so the situation seemed absurd.I also found myself quite impressive. Despite thinking that I knew everything from countless sexual experiences since childhood, discovering the mysteries of the prostate and dry orgasms opened up a whole new world. In terms of passion in sex, I felt like I was truly extraordinary, and it was fascinating even to myself.I thought a threesome I experienced, wedged between a man and a woman, was the best sex of my life, but perhaps I should consider passing that honor over. Jung Yiyeon was truly remarkable. I even wanted to give him the titles of the King of Stamina and the King of Technique. If there was a chance to learn, I would want to learn from him.However, I must stop this madness right here.Yawning, I stood up. It was still early in the morning, and even though I had just woken up, I didn’t want to sleep more due to sleeping late and taking a nap the day before. At the same time, I didn’t have the intention to wait for Jung Yiyeon to wake up.Whether Jung Yiyeon had organized it or not, the black jeans and shirt I wore the day before were in the closet. I took out a new set of underwear from the drawer and got dressed. Even after putting on all the clothes and roughly messing with my hair, Jung Yiyeon was still in dreamland.I didn’t have the patience to wait until he woke up, nor did I have the intention to wake him up. So, I quietly left the room.Not only did I leave the room, but I also went downstairs, opened the front door, and walked out, following the path that continued to the wall. Yawning, I checked the map on my phone. It seemed that I would arrive at the village bus stop in about 30 minutes if I walked.While walking towards the bus stop, I opened the taxi app just in case and tried to call a taxi to go home. Considering the early morning hour and the possibility of getting a taxi from Gapyeong to Seoul, I wasn’t sure if I would be able to find one. Surprisingly, there was a taxi that responded to the call.In fact, the car wasn’t in great shape, especially around the waist, buttocks, and legs. I had no energy, and walking was becoming quite uncomfortable. With such a body, the thought of taking a village bus, transferring to an express bus, and then using a bus or subway to get home was unsettling.However, since I managed to catch a taxi, I couldn’t help but be happy. After about 10 minutes, the taxi arrived, and it was surprisingly reassuring, as if I had regained a long-lost brother with a bit of exaggeration.Thanks to that, I could easily reach my house. After getting out of the taxi and entering my house, I took off my clothes, tossed them haphazardly into the washing machine, and then went into the bathroom to wash up. Although the bathroom in the villa was splendid and neat, it still couldn’t compare to the comfort of my own home.When I came out of the bathroom, my phone was vibrating. I tried to answer, but the call was cut off at the moment I was about to pick it up. The early morning call was from Jung Yiyeon.Since I couldn’t answer, there was nothing I could do. Thinking that way, I opened the refrigerator, wondering if I should fill my stomach. There, I found an unfamiliar pot. When I opened it, it turned out to be seaweed soup.I took it out and started to heat it up, and when I opened the rice cooker, there was rice inside. Perhaps my brother was at home. If there was nothing to eat in the refrigerator, I had planned to eat ramen, but having beef seaweed soup and rice felt really good.Not long after, the soup was boiling vigorously. I set out bachelor kimchi and cabbage kimchi from the refrigerator and poured a lot of soup over the rice, taking a big spoonful and enjoying it. It almost caused a burn in my mouth, but the taste was excellent. My brother’s cooking skills were still top-notch.While I was eating, my phone vibrated again. The caller was, unsurprisingly, Jung Yiyeon. I swallowed what was in my mouth and leisurely answered the phone.“Hello-”-Where are you?The voice that asked so abruptly was seriously unexpected.“At home.”-…Home? In Seoul??“Yeah, home.”There was a moment of silence after my answer. Then, a long sigh could be heard.-Well, I was planning to take you home today anyway. Did you have to go like this, taking advantage of the moment when everyone was asleep?It was a voice that struggled to hold back frustration. Yet, underneath the low tone, anger was clearly embedded.-If you wanted to go, couldn’t you have woken me up…! Do you know how worried I would be if you disappeared like that?Ah, even though I casually replied in informal language without much thought, Jung Yiyeon was calling me ‘you’ without any hesitation. Well, whatever. It seems like we’ve become quite close.In the past two days, I had meals with Jung Yiyeon several times, kissed, had sex, and even bathed together. I may not have been affectionate with Jung Yiyeon, but the atmosphere wasn’t bad either. So why did Jung Yiyeon misunderstand something?“Jung Yiyeon. We’ve done it five times so far. Are you keeping count?”-…!I could feel Jung Yiyeon’s breath stopping on the other end of the phone. Well, it seemed like he firmly misunderstood something on his own. In a nonchalant tone, I added, “Let’s contact each other for the sixth time we plan to have sex. I’ll hang up now.”I said what I wanted and hung up the phone. Jung Yiyeon was left speechless, seemingly unable to utter a word. If I found it slightly amusing, was I being too childish? I didn’t come to Seoul alone with the intention of doing something like this, but I thought it was a good decision not to wait until he woke up.We had two exciting rounds of sex, and Jung Yiyeon seemed to have sorted out his emotions pouring towards me. My body and mind felt refreshed and light. The phone that no longer rang was satisfying.I picked up a piece of pickled radish with chopsticks and bit into it. The crunchy texture was satisfying. The seaweed soup was also incredibly delicious.All in all, it was quite a decent Sunday morning.
