52 - Chapter 50: An Unlucky Day
The next morning, Natalia woke up in a hotel bed. It was a luxury hotel, but the bed didn't feel any better than the one she had at home.
"Mmm..."
Blinking away the sleep from her eyes, she reflexively rolled over. Han Su-hyeon was still fast asleep beside her.
Natalia slowly reached out to caress his sleeping face, a thought drifting through her mind.
'Mine.'
A faint smile played on her lips.
'Mine now.'
"Ugh..., ah...."
Underneath the covers, Jin Seo-yun winced at a throbbing ache. It was her shoulder—the one she'd ruined back during her baseball days.
'Is it going to rain today...?'
She poked her head out from under the blanket, rubbing her shoulder even though she knew it wouldn't do much good.
It was already morning, but the room was dark and gloomy. Outside her window, the sky was choked with heavy, dark clouds.
It was the kind of weather where a miserable drizzle would drag on all day.
'I hate days like this. I'd rather it just pour buckets and get it over with.'
Grumbling to herself, Seo-yun dragged herself out of bed and started getting ready for school.
She had already passed her graduation exam, been scouted by a famous pro hunter, and secured a job.
In the hunter industry, finding someone with both high mana and a decent personality was like finding a needle in a haystack, so her success was practically guaranteed.
She didn't actually need to show up to class anymore until graduation, but...
Her naturally diligent personality, drilled into her even further during her years in the sports club, wouldn't let her slack off.
'I'm like one of those retired old folks who gets restless the second they stop working.'
Moving with sluggish efficiency, she finished getting ready, grabbed an umbrella, and stepped out the door.
'Ugh, my shoulder is still throbbing. Maybe I should stop by a pharmacy for a pain patch.'
As she walked her usual route to school, lost in thought, she ran into someone she never expected to see.
"Oh."
First, a luxury import car parked on the street came into view.
Then, she saw the middle-aged man standing beside it.
She recognized him instantly.
"Coach...?"
"Hmm?"
At the sound of her voice, her former baseball coach turned around. Their eyes locked.
"Oh, you live around here?"
"...What brings you here, Coach?"
"I just had some business nearby."
Seo-yun dropped her hand from her shoulder, her expression instantly souring. The coach, however, didn't seem to notice the tension at all as he kept talking.
"So, how've you been?"
"...Alright, I guess."
"Good, good. You look well. Man, you have no idea how gutted I was when you had to quit the team over that shoulder injury."
"Ha..."
It was absolutely mind-boggling. Who did he think was the reason she'd had to quit in the first place?
Instead of answering, Seo-yun stared at the luxury car. She spoke, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Nice car. Is it new?"
"Oh, this? Yeah, actually."
"I guess you bought it with the bonus you got for winning the championship back then?"
"What?"
"Was it worth destroying your student's shoulder for?"
The jab hit its mark. The mindless grin on the coach's face instantly vanished, replaced by a scowl.
"Hey, how can you say something so... sigh, whatever. Are you still holding a grudge over that? Tsk. Didn't I tell you? Sure, there were ups and downs, but you need to let go of the past and make a fresh start."
His sheer, unadulterated gall made a sudden wave of fury crash over her.
"It's easy for the perpetrator to tell the victim to just move on."
"What? Perpetrator?"
The throbbing in her shoulder was growing sharper by the second.
"Watch your mouth, people might actually believe you. You should've taken better care of your own body. You called yourself an athlete, yet you foolishly ruined your own arm, and now you're trying to pin the blame on me?"
It seemed the ache in her shoulder wasn't because of the weather after all.
Leaving Seo-yun speechless at his staggering lack of shame, the coach opened his car door, tossing one last remark over his shoulder before climbing in.
"Anyway, I'm off. Don't be so petty about something that happened years ago. It's pathetic for a girl to hold a grudge like that."
Seo-yun stood frozen, watching the man who had ruined her life drive away in a cloud of exhaust fumes.
"Hic..."
Only when the car had completely vanished from sight did she finally let the tears she'd been desperately holding back spill over.
"Ah... huff... sniff... damn it..."
She had fought so hard to hold them in, refusing to show any weakness in front of him, refusing to let him look down on her any more than he already did.
'I shouldn't have left the house today...'
She stood on the empty street, crying until she finally managed to compose herself, then turned around and headed back home.
But even back in her room, she had nowhere to turn.
Telling her parents, who were now separated, would only make them worry and feel guilty.
She wasn't close enough to her old teammates to confide in them, and doing so would only make her feel even more pathetic.
And she hadn't made any friends at the academy close enough to share this kind of baggage with.
Ultimately, her mind drifted to her childhood friends—the ones she used to laugh and play with back when life was simple and free of calculations.
Of those friends, she only kept in touch with two.
Han Su-in and Han Su-hyeon.
As their faces flashed in her mind, Seo-yun found herself picking up her phone. As if possessed, she dialed a number.
I was currently on all fours on the hotel bed.
"Raise your hips a bit higher. That's it."
I adjusted my posture at Natalia's command.
Natalia stroked my ass before bringing her face close.
She spread my cheeks, buried her face between them, and pressed a soft kiss to my anus.
Then she slipped her tongue out and began to lick me. A wet, filthy sound echoed through the quiet hotel room.
"Ah..., ah...."
My groans tangled with the obscene noise.
Once my backside was sufficiently prepped, Natalia pulled away and brought her middle finger to her lips to wet it.
"Mmh..."
I flinched reflexively as her finger brushed against my entrance. Clearly enjoying the reaction, Natalia toyed with my twitching hole, tracing slow circles around it.
Then, with a sudden push, her finger slid inside with ease. She began to hook and curl her finger, probing around to stimulate my sweet spot.
"Ah..., ah..., ah..., ahh...!"
My body shuddered violently as a sudden, intense urge to blow my load welled up inside me.
"Hmm..., I think this is enough..."
Just as my cock was twitching on the verge of ruin, Natalia stopped and abruptly pulled her finger out.
Leaving me aching, she reached for something nearby. It was a strap-on harness, fitted with a dildo roughly the size of an Aneros.
"Uh..."
Seeing my panicked expression, Natalia let out a breathy laugh, her cheeks flushed.
"I've been wanting to try this with you for a while."
"W-Wait..."
Even though the toy was relatively small—barely thicker than a finger—I couldn't shake a primal sense of dread at the sight of the strap-on.
Ignoring my hesitation, Natalia buckled the harness around her hips. She squeezed out a dollop of lube and meticulously coated the shaft.
"Now then..."
"H-Hngh..."
Natalia lined herself up behind me and pushed the toy inside. I squeezed my eyes shut, gasping at the sensation of the firm, lukewarm silicone filling me.
"Ugh..."
Surprisingly, it slid in quite smoothly.
"I'm going to move now, okay?"
"Y-Yes... okay..."
As if she actually cared about my permission when she was just going to do whatever she wanted anyway.
Natalia's hips began to roll, driving the toy forward. The dildo ground directly against my prostate, scraping over the sensitive spot.
"Oh..., ah..., ahhh..."
A heavy weight pressed down on my back as Natalia leaned forward, pinning me flat against the mattress. My face was buried in the pillow.
"Haa..., haha..., ha..."
Clearly turned on by my reactions, Natalia's breathing grew heavy and ragged.
"Ugh..., ah..., ah..., ohhh..."
Her thrusts grew increasingly violent. She sat up, grabbing my wrists and pulling my arms back.
"Ah...! Ah...! Ah...! Ah...! Ahh...! Ah...! Ahhh...!"
My upper body was yanked backward, forcing my face up from the pillow.
With every brutal rub against my prostate, my sanity chipped away. My mind went completely blank, dissolving into pure, unadulterated pleasure.
Through the haze of pleasure, I thought... I heard my phone... vibrating... somewhere...
"Haa..."
By the time I finally came to my senses, it was over.
I lay slumped on the bed, my bare cock twitching from the aftershocks of a dry orgasm.
"Looks like you're finally back with me."
Beside me, Natalia was drinking straight from a bottle of expensive wine.
"Now that you're awake..."
Wiping the wine from her lips, she reached down and wrapped her hand around my cock, stroking it back to life.
"It was incredibly hot watching you lose your mind like that, but I think I still prefer the real thing."
I watched Natalia crawl over me, my eyes drifting to the nightstand. My phone was lying right there.
"Hey... I was a bit out of it, but did my phone ring earlier?"
Natalia just shrugged.
"Who cares? Ignore it."
She had a point. It wasn't like I was expecting any important calls anyway.
