"What?" Stopping in his tracks, Ho-sang held the two bags in one hand and his phone in the other.
["I saw Jo Ga-hee at the K-mart! I was just there a moment ago, I saw her as I was leaving, I'm calling you because she might still be there."]
"Huh." Ho-sang blinked for a moment, he didn't expect it was actually possible to see that girl again, not this soon at least, he was sure she hated him now after those messages he sent.
["What do you mean 'Huh!?' You tried to help her and she still tricked you and your reaction is just 'Huh?' Don't tell me you forgave her?"]
"It's not that, I was just surprised, besides I kind of have a couple bags of groceries in my hands right now, I don't know if I'll make it in time to get there." Ho-sang looked at the bags in his hands.
["Who cares about your bags!? Just run home, drop them off and then head back to the market! Hurry before it's too late!—Guh!"]
Hearing that groan at the end, Ho-sang frowned. "You okay?"
["Y-yeah! Don't worry about me, I just—Hgn! Slop Go already!"]
Ho-sang's face went blank as he heard that suspicious sound. 'That pop was wet... like someone sucking a...' His voice came out flat as he spoke. "Hey Dong-sik, you're not having sex while calling me, are you?"
["H-huh? O-of course not! Anyway—Hng! Just go!"]
Pulling the phone away from his ear, Ho-sang stared dryly at the screen. "That bastard is definitely having sex." Shaking his head, he decided not to think about it so the cursed image wouldn't stick in his brain and quickened his pace, rushing home.
Meanwhile, on the other end of the line, Dong-sik lying on his bed put the phone down on the nightstand beside him. "Shit, that was close, phew." He sighed in relief, shifting his gaze downward.
"You really didn't have to do that, you know!?" He exclaimed irritably at the girl between his legs, who at that moment was holding his dick with a mischievous smile.
The blonde, tan-skinned girl giggled lightly. "And you shouldn't have called your friend while I'm working so hard here." After speaking, she then wrapped her lips around his dick, lowering her head as she sucked. "Gak!"
"Hng!—Shit! Okay, okay, my bad, now keep going, I'll watch your 'hard work'." Dong-sik put his hands behind his head, grinning wickedly.
...
Entering the supermarket, Ho-sang was breathing heavily as sweat lightly covered his forehead. "Fuck, I know I only started training recently but damn, what a weak body."
Wiping the sweat from his forehead with his hand, he walked, glancing around in search of her.
"I'll buy a jump rope later, I need cardio more than ever, especially now." Muttering while catching his breath, he quietly walked through the aisles.
He passed through personal hygiene products, the processed food aisle, the ultra-processed food aisle, the cleaning supplies, and even the pet section.
It was only when he was about to enter another aisle that he saw her back in front of a stand full of fruit.
He then silently approached, his hands going into his pockets, stopping right behind her.
"Hm~ hm~ hm~..."
"..." Ho-sang just stared in silence as she hummed carefreely while looking at the fruit.
And while she did that, the next moment she bent over, sticking her ass out toward him.
The corner of his mouth twitched as he saw the outline of her panties against the dark blue dress she was wearing.
Seeing that she seemed completely unaware of his presence, he decided to speak. "It's been a while."
"Eeeek~!" Letting out a strange squeal in fright, Ga-hee quickly turned around, seeing someone she didn't expect to meet so soon. "H-Ho-sang!?" She blinked in surprise, seeing him standing there with his hands in his pockets, staring calmly at her.
"That's me, how are you?" He smiled lightly.
"How are you? How are you!? You've got the nerve to say that after cursing me out like that!?" Her surprise quickly gave way to anger as her face twisted furiously.
"Huh?" Ho-sang's face contorted for a moment, a vein popped on his forehead as he raised his eyebrow. "And you've got the audacity to complain about that after selling me a broken product, you damn scammer?"
"S-scammer!?" Her face twisted before she quickly frowned. "I'm not a scammer! You're the one who wanted to buy it!"
"Huh!?" The bulging vein on Ho-sang's forehead grew as he heard that. "I wanted to buy it because you were practically begging me, it was a favor and you tricked me."
"Hmph." Ga-hee huffed as she crossed her arms. "Not my fault if you're a naïve idiot."
"...Naïve idiot?" Ho-sang's face twitched as more veins started bulging on his forehead. "You fucking bitch! I try to help you and that's how you thank me!?"
Ga-hee's face twisted as she also shouted furiously. "I'm not a bitch you fucking retard! And you expected me to be grateful when you practically called my mother a whore!?"
"Haaa..." Exhaling to calm down, Ho-sang slowly rubbed his forehead. "I only cursed you like that because you were being a bitch and ignoring my messages, anyway whatever, just give me back my money and I'll leave." He held out his hand at the end, staring at her impassively.
She looked at his hand before glaring at him, a small smile appearing on her face. "Sorry, no refunds~."
He stared at her for a long moment, until finally lowering his hand. "So that's how it's gonna be?"
She kept smiling. "Yeah, that's how it's gonna be, if you want to settle this use the law, anyway stop being annoying and quit bothering me." She turned, intending to walk away.
But she didn't get far before he grabbed her arm.
"W-uh? What do you think you're doing!?" She muttered in surprise, her face quickly turning red.
Ho-sang stared at her impassively as he held her arm. "Use the law, you say? Funny hearing that from someone who barely has money to survive, you think you'll have enough to pay for a lawyer?"
"T-that's none of your business! Let go of my arm or I'll scream that you're assaulting me." Her face was already completely flushed as she exhaled weakly. 'What the hell is wrong with me!?'
Ho-sang kept staring at her without saying anything, his gaze shifting around at the people staring at the two because of the commotion they caused, the fact that security hadn't shown up yet surprised him.
His gaze then went back to her. "Sigh, listen here, no need to involve the authorities in this, we can still solve this in a civilized way, just give me back my money and it's done, can't you do that for your old college mate?" He smiled amiably as he held out his hand.
"Dream on, stupid nerd." She smiled mockingly, though internally she was getting frustrated with her body's reaction. 'Ugh! What the hell is wrong with me!?' Her thighs pressed together as she felt her pussy getting wet.
Ho-sang's smile faded as he stared back at her. "So that's how it's gonna be?..."
"Yeah, that's how it's gonna be, now let me go already!"
But instead of letting her go, Ho-sang just kept staring at her. 'Fine, I gave you a second chance, if that's how it's gonna be then don't blame me.'
He stood still, just waiting, and soon got what he wanted.
"What are you staring at!? Just let—!" In the middle of her sentence, Ga-hee's face contorted as she felt weakness wash over her body, making her collapse onto the floor.
Sitting on the floor, her flushed face was stamped with shock as her body trembled slightly and her thighs spasmed. 'No way... I came?...' She asked herself in disbelief. '...Just because this idiot touched me!?'
"What's the problem?"
Hearing him, she lifted her head, meeting his impassive gaze from behind his glasses as he looked down at her.
"Don't tell me you're pretending to have some health issue to make me pity you, because that won't work." Ho-sang said as he pushed his glasses, making the lenses gleam for a moment.
"I'm not pretending! T-there's something wrong with my body!" Ga-hee gritted her teeth as the wave of pleasure spread through her body. 'Damn it! Why does his touch feel so good!?'
"Hm... you sure?" Ho-sang kept staring at her.
"Absolutely." Ga-hee muttered through clenched teeth.
"Then if it's true, get up and let's go to your place."
"Huh?" She stared dumbly at him after he said that.
Ho-sang raised an eyebrow. "What? I imagine you must have some medicine at home to help you, or are you so bad off it'd be better to head to the hospital instead?"
"N-no! Let's go to my place." Ga-hee slowly stood up, still a bit shaky. 'Whatever! This works in my favor, better I head home and figure out what's wrong with me, then I'll get rid of this idiot.'
"Alright then, let's go." Ho-sang then took her hand, heading toward the checkout. "You're done shopping, right? Let's pay."
Ga-hee just followed him, gritting her teeth as she resisted the sensations running through her body.
While they walked, the few people who had been watching their drama threw them strange looks, after all, they were now holding hands like a couple—a toxic couple, in this case.
"I thought they were just acquaintances but they're a couple?" Commented a middle-aged man to his wife.
"A little lovers' spat like that is pretty common, don't you think? We used to fight quite a lot at that age, remember~?" The middle-aged woman replied with a hand on her cheek and a nostalgic look.
The man gave her a blank look. "The difference was we weren't one step away from ripping each other's throats out."
The woman waved her hand casually with a smirk. "It's fine, all they need is some hate sex and they'll be fine."
Meanwhile, unaware that they had been labeled a toxic couple by the bystanders, Ho-sang and Ga-hee were already at the checkout with her groceries.
He stood on the other side with his arms crossed, waiting, while she, still with a flushed face, waited to pay.
Paying and grabbing her things, she barely took a step away from the counter before Ho-sang grabbed her hand.
Feeling that sensation return, Ga-hee frowned as she tried to disguise it by looking irritated. "You don't need to hold my hand."
Ho-sang replied without looking back. "And let you free to run? No thanks."
She just bit her lip lightly before turning her gaze away. "Tsk, damn nerd."
Walking out the door, they stopped on the sidewalk.
"Which way?" He asked, glancing over his shoulder.
"That way."
Ho-sang followed without a word in the direction she pointed.
The two then walked silently among the people, Ho-sang impassively holding her hand while she blushed furiously, tense and lip-biting.
"Hn~!" Gripping her dress, Ga-hee let out a small moan she quickly stifled as she felt the sensation of a second orgasm approaching. 'No! I have to hold out until I get home!'
Ho-sang smiled almost imperceptibly upon hearing that sound, but he didn't turn, just following her directions.
Soon, the two arrived at a small apartment complex, climbing the stairs straight to the last room on the right.
She opened the door, rushing inside and leaving it open as she pulled free from Ho-sang and darted straight to her bathroom, tossing the shopping bag onto the table.
Adjusting his glasses, Ho-sang calmly entered, closing the door behind him. He glanced around, noticing the apartment was smaller than his.
Inside the bathroom, Ga-hee leaned against the door, exhaling heatedly. "Damn! That was close." Lowering her hands, she lifted her dress up to her waist before removing her panties, a string of clear fluid sticking to the fabric as she pulled them off.
"What the hell..." Bringing them closer to her face, the large wet stain on the white panties was obvious.
"What's wrong with me..." She shook her head, her mind refusing to believe she came just from Ho-sang's touch. "Whatever, I better get rid of that nerd." She washed her face to compose herself, adopting a calmer expression before stepping out of the bathroom.
"Huh? You're still here?" She asked, raising an eyebrow. "Go away already, before I decide to call the police." She stopped in front of him, crossing her arms.
"Haaa, acting like a bitch till the last minute, huh?" He exhaled, almost sounding tired.
"Huh!? Who are you calling a bitch!?" Her expression turned irritated.
But without answering, Ho-sang began approaching her.
"W-what are you doing? You better not try anything or I'll scream!" She took a step back.
But Ho-sang still said nothing, stopping in front of her and calmly raising his hand toward her face.
"What are you doing!?" Though she looked uncomfortable, frowning, her heart raced as she realized he was about to touch her, the faint desire for it making her annoyed with herself.
After what felt like an eternity to her, Ho-sang finally touched her face and the effect was immediate.
As he stared at her silently, Ga-hee's face quickly turned red as that pleasurable sensation returned.
