Chapter 208 - Chapter 204: IF Side Story - Still Getting Devoured (6)
Tea with a few flower petals still drifting on the surface sat on the living room table.
Yu-rin was staring straight at me.
The look on her face suggested she was expecting something.
Maybe she wanted to see my reaction to the high-quality tea leaves she'd used?
"Smells good. What kind of tea is this?"
Yu-rin seemed flustered by my question.
"Oh?... Um... It's marigold, a petal tea. It's so mild you can barely taste it, so it's something anyone can drink without fuss... If you're smelling something, it must be your imagination."
"Ahem..."
I'd only said it to be polite, but now I felt embarrassed.
Does that mean it's just fancy-looking hot water?
I really don't know much about tea.
Feeling awkward, I took a sip, and a very faint floral scent—much like the deep yellow tea itself—lingered in my mouth.
"It's tasty."
"Right?"
Is it my imagination, or does Yu-rin look relieved to see me drinking it?
It might be pretty expensive tea.
"Oh, right. Yu-rin-ah, where are you going to set up the broadcasting equipment and computer?"
"I'm planning to put it on the second floor... The parts and equipment I ordered have all been moved up there."
"Then we should finish up and get to work."
"You can take your time. There's no need to rush."
"It takes a while to install all the software and test the stream. Since I promised to buy you a meal today, it's going to take quite a bit of—"
Yu-rin cut me off.
"Seon-ah-ya. You're already taking time out of your day to help me, so it doesn't feel right to have you buy me a meal. Besides, you're a housewarming guest. How could I let you pay? I'll cover it today, and you can pay next time we meet."
I hadn't really thought about it, but I suppose I was a housewarming guest.
"Yeah, alright."
As I finished the tea, Yu-rin offered a faint smile.
Afterward, she guided me to the second floor.
'Isn't this place too big to live in alone?'
The open living room on the first floor, the three rooms on the second floor...
No matter how much money you have, it seemed a bit lonely to live in such a large place by yourself.
Yu-rin kept glancing at me, flinching.
She opened the door at the very end of the hall and said,
"This is where I'll set up the broadcasting computer."
Inside, the equipment and parts I'd estimated were neatly arranged.
"It'll take some time to install everything and check it. If you have anything urgent to do, it's okay to head out."
"No, I don't have anything urgent. I'll help you so we can finish faster."
I let out a short laugh.
In my previous life, I'd never heard anyone offer to help me like this when a girlfriend or someone else needed a computer set up, so it felt a bit novel.
"Thank you."
When the words slipped out, Yu-rin looked confused, as if she didn't quite understand.
"No... I'm the one who should be thankful, since you came all this way to help."
She probably didn't know what I meant by that.
Putting that thought aside, I rolled up my sleeves and started opening the boxes to assemble the parts.
About two hours into the installation, something felt off.
My body went limp, and a heavy fatigue began to pile up.
'I've almost never felt like this since I awakened.'
I kept nodding off while assembling the parts.
I endured to my absolute limit, and once I finally finished installing the programs, the relief of being done caused my eyes to finally close.

"Is he asleep?..."
Judging by his breathing, which was steady and rhythmic, he was out cold.
Seon-ah, who had been struggling to assemble the computer with half-closed eyes, had slumped over the desk the moment he finished testing the stream.
I fall fast asleep within an hour of taking that sleeping pill, too.
To think he lasted two hours—his willpower was incredible, even if it was just for computer assembly.
"Should I take him to the bedroom?... Just to check... I only need to check for a very short moment..."
I carried Seon-ah, who had fallen asleep in the chair, and moved him to the bed.
Watching him sleep soundly, a sense of guilt and a strange, mounting excitement began to well up.
Having Seon-ah—whom I'd only ever seen on streams—in my house, let alone sleeping in my bed, felt like a dream.
But on the other hand, I was afraid.
There was the pressure of him potentially waking up, but the most important thing was this:
If it were true that he was a dirty slut who carried the traces of other women, I'd be devastated.
"Then... shall I try undressing him?"
As I took off his clothes one by one, his snow-white, smooth skin was revealed.
Every time my fingers touched his soft skin, he would flinch and tremble slightly.
Even when I had stripped him completely naked, Seon-ah remained peacefully asleep, unaware of what was happening.
"So this is what a man's body is like..."
A male body, which I'd only known through videos.
When the opportunity to actually admire it arose, I felt a sense of wonder.
After graduating from an all-girls middle and high school, and then becoming a Duty Hunter in an environment filled only with women, my life had continued with almost no connection to men.
I was the type of person who couldn't even make common sex jokes about wanting to get fucked or shaking my hips in front of an actual man, only saying them when I was with other women.
After getting to know Seon-ah, the lack of real progress—contrary to my delusions—was largely due to my lack of dating experience.
But now, Seon-ah was lying here on my bed, naked.
Isn't this a human victory?
I stopped my useless thoughts and looked at his genitals.
I started to confirm it with my own eyes.
The genitals covered in snow-white skin were brand new, never used before.
They looked nothing like the actors I saw in videos, whose parts were often blackened and discolored.
"Phew... Thank goodness... But I wonder if I can try pulling it back...?"
With that thought, I tried to gently grab his cock, and he started to flinch.
"I can't... If he wakes up like this... it'll be a big problem..."
I felt like I should be satisfied with just admiring it for now.
Admiring?... Admiring, huh...
If I want to admire Seon-ah like this later on, this is the only way, isn't it?
Then, I took my smartphone out of my pocket, switched to camera mode, and started taking pictures repeatedly.
My face was like a beast's, full of the desire to pounce on him at any moment.
Did I fall asleep?...
I remember pressing the broadcast button at the end.
However, I was now lying on the sofa in the living room.
"Are you awake?... You must have been very tired. You fell asleep suddenly, so I moved you to the living room."
"Sorry... I didn't know I would fall asleep suddenly either."
I had definitely slept enough yesterday, and there were no issues until I arrived at Yu-rin's house.
It was a strange feeling.
"You must have been very tired. Thank you for helping me today... But you know, Seon-ah, it's quite dark outside because of the time."
Yu-rin said thank you and gestured toward the window.
"You're right... What time is it now?"
"21:00... No, it's 9 o'clock."
"It's late... I'm sorry, but let's have dinner together later... I think I need to head home. Since the equipment setup is almost finished, I'll install some useful programs or help you with remote control later."
Yu-rin looked at me with a worried expression.
"Seon-ah-ya, do you want to sleep over for the night?... If you get sleepy again on your way home, something bad might happen. Crimes happen often these days, you know..."
Her words made a lot of sense.
When I was being stalked, the stalker would appear in front of me at night when people's attention had faded.
That's why I actually disliked moving around at night, too.
But that was only when walking around.
"Couldn't I just call a taxi? It's going from in front of your house to in front of mine anyway, so if I do that, there won't be any danger."
"Can't you just stay the night?... Seon-ah-ya..."
Yu-rin kept urging me, acting stubborn.
I was curious why she was acting like this so suddenly.
"My parents will be worried, so I don't think I can. I'm sorry."
In the end, as I refused her request and tried to turn away, the tone of her voice suddenly changed.
A base, mocking sneer appeared on the face of the woman who had seemed so worried about me just a moment ago.
"Seon-ah-ya... I wanted to do this nicely, but I can't... Do you want to see this?"
She suddenly took out her smartphone and showed me the screen.
A square, decent-looking smartphone.
And the photo inside it.
Seeing it, I couldn't hide my shock.
There was a photo of me, completely naked, exposed for all to see.
"If this photo were spread on the internet... would you still be able to continue broadcasting?... I don't think so."
I thought we were friends... How could she... do such a thing?
"...What do you want?"
Feeling betrayed, I asked her.
Asking why she did this wouldn't make anything better, so it would be better to just give her what she wanted and return to being strangers from this point on.
"Everything."
The answer that came out of her mouth was short and concise.
"Everything?... What do you mean?"
"I want everything of yours... Seon-ah-ya."
With those words, her bright red tongue licked her lips, and she began to stare at me with a greedy gaze.
I could only look at her, approaching me little by little, with trembling eyes.
