In My Noona's Room
"Was it the right decision not to ask?" Yoo Minhyuk briefly contemplated whether refraining from inquiring about how Baek Taeyang obtained his Cleanup skill was the correct judgment.
Obtaining the same skill with an identical name is nearly impossible, a basic fact known to all awakened individuals, even those who don't attend the academy.
Baek Taeyang shattered this norm right before his eyes. While not entirely impossible, his post-processing skill was strikingly similar to Minhyuk's – not just similar, but almost identical.
I felt guilty for secretly investigating him. Could it be because we had similar circumstances? Was he living in poverty?
We were just an ordinary household… I only worked a part-time job in the food service industry.
Baek Taeyang and his cleaning skill were puzzle pieces with no apparent connection.
Minhyuk's strong reaction wasn't solely due to them having the same cleaning skill; it was also linked to recent incidents among first-class hunters.
The skill hunter.
Every step of the process was shrouded in mystery, from how they managed to remain undetected around first-class hunters to the results of skill extraction.
They are an enigmatic existence.
Therefore, Yoo Minhyuk mentally placed Baek Taeyang on the suspect list. Even if it's an F-rank skill, it could be related to them.
But I don't see him being that kind of person.
Prejudice based on experience can sometimes lead to significant errors, but when calculating an average, it can be very effective. Drawing from the cumulative experiences of people Yoo Minhyuk has encountered in his life, he could understand Baek Taeyang.
He can see that, despite a rough appearance, Baek Taeyang isn't entirely a morally compromised person. While there might be some questionable aspects here and there, they weren't significant enough to cause concern.
Yoo Minhyuk sipped on the already cold coffee and absentmindedly gazed out the window.
I should recommend Baek Taeyang for the capture operation.
We can't afford to let the Skill Hunter roam freely, so capturing them quickly is essential.
While I don't suspect Baek Taeyang, it never hurts to be cautious. Including him in the operation and observing his reaction is a reasonable precaution.
Even though Yoo Minhyuk had thought about subtly suggesting it during their earlier conversation, the timing wasn't ideal. Bringing up work-related matters while entertaining a guest might come across as pressuring.
In this situation, I need to enlist someone else's help.
Ring, Ring—
[Hello, Hunter Yoo Minhyuk, what can I do for you?]
"Ah, sorry for calling suddenly. Is it a good time to talk?"
[Yes, it's fine.]
The person Yoo Minhyuk called was Lee Minjoon, who had recently gained popularity for his remarks on ‘What is a Hunter.' He is an accomplished hunter and also part of the Skill Hunter capture team.
"I'm thinking of recommending Baek Taeyang for the capture team this time."
[Isn't that a bit too much? Even though I know he's capable but…]
"Let's keep this information between us for now…"
Considering hiding the information and making recommendations wouldn't make much sense.
Although Lee Minjoon was supportive of Baek Taeyang, he wasn't blindly positive about everything he did.
Yoo Minhyuk shared the information because thorough and objective evidence is needed. The Skill Hunter might have nothing to do with Baek Taeyang, but he felt there seemed to be a peculiar connection.
Since Lee Minjoon trusted Baek Taeyang, discussing these matters openly wasn't an issue.
I wonder if we're involving him in something too significant.
There was a sense of remorse, but it was an unavoidable situation. As an awakened, it is a responsibility he has to shoulder.
+++++++++++++++
Yoo Soojin never allowed a man into her room throughout her life. It was a sacred space that was off-limits to anyone except her father. However, that all changed in the presence of a man named Baek Taeyang.
What if he checks out my room and gets disappointed?
Maybe because her life revolved around studying, her room lacked the typical feminine touch. If a man thought about a "girl's room," certain expectations would come to mind.
No matter how much Soojin looked at it, her room wasn't ticking those expected boxes. The only saving grace was the doll on her bed; without it, things could've been a disaster.
"Noona, your room is so tidy and nice. It's a whole different world from mine."
"I-Is that so…? Then, maybe later, should I… clean it for you?"
"Oh, that'd be too much trouble. I got it covered."
"It's not a hassle… Let's do it together later."
"Sure thing, noona."
Every word from Baek Taeyang sweetly tickled her ears.
Who knew the term noona could sound so sweet? Is this why men like being called oppa?
In her heart, she wished she could just jump into Taeyang's embrace.
I've mentally prepared for this, but…
Soojin absentmindedly played with the edge of her skirt, stealing glances at Taeyang.
She didn't want Taeyang to see her as some easy girl. Her friend's advice echoed in her mind – being too easy might lead to quick boredom.
Like a man pursuing prey, delicacy was key, not giving everything from the start. The issue was she had given her body to him from their first meeting, and even in the department store, her heart had fallen for him.
Soojin subtly shifted towards the full-length mirror in her room.
"…!"
"Noona, what's up?"
"Oh… it's nothing. I just remembered something for a second."
"Really? But hey, noona, your bed looks really comfy. Mind if I take a seat?"
"Go ahead."
"Thanks."
As Soojin looked in the mirror, memories of the guidance room flooded back, and her body trembled slightly. The sensation of being held firmly, intertwined with a sturdy body like a tree root.
The lingering feeling of her first experience still clung to her body, refusing to let go.
"Noona, you seem tense. Nervous?"
"Hmm? No, why would I be…"
"Sorry, maybe I got it wrong. I thought you didn't want to sit next to me."
"It's not like that, silly Taeyang…"
Baek Taeyang uttered those words while tapping the space in bed next to him. It was an obvious gesture inviting her to sit, and Soojin's face involuntarily flushed.
With my parents around, is it okay to be so close? What if they walk in? Am I the only one thinking this way…?
Is it too much to assume from the gesture? Since when did I start having such naughty thoughts?
Soojin managed to calm her racing heart and took a seat next to Baek Taeyang.
"Your body feels tense. Are you okay, noona?"
"Uh…? Uh…! Oh…"
As she tried to respond, Baek Taeyang's hand slipped between Soojin's thighs. Like a venomous snake, sly and unabashed, it slithered into the inner part, capturing its prey.
"Noona, you're not wearing anything? You really wanted it, huh?"
"Ah… hmm… Wait… I… Yes…"
Busted.
She hadn't expected to get caught so quickly. Ideally, she wanted to let Taeyang heat up a bit more before revealing anything. But as soon as she sat down, it was like her innermost thoughts were exposed, all laid bare.
Red flowers bloomed rapidly on her fair skin, creating a vivid display. A thick snake roamed freely under her skirt, licking and exploring every inch of her without obstruction.
"Why feel so embarrassed between us, noona?"
"Um, uh… I…"
"I won't take this lightly just because my noona acted like that, you hear?"
"Y-Yes… Uh… Hmm…"
Soojin's wish to breathe within Taeyang's embrace had come true. She simply rested her hand on his chest, leaned her head, and exhaled colorful breaths. She was so entangled in his firm words that it felt like she might never escape.
"What do you want me to do?"
"Please… Ahn…" A moan escaped her as his blunt fingers gently rub her most intimate part, making it wet.
She couldn't bring herself to be honest about her sexual desires. In her heart, she wished she could tell Taeyang right away to hold her down, and rough her until all desires were satisfied.
How do I say that…
Asking to be washed in the hotel bathroom already felt like a miraculous event. Back then, it was right after fighting the monster, making it hard to consider herself completely sober. But this moment, her mind was sharp.
"Your body seems to be expressing itself, noona. Why can't you say it?"
"Uh…?" Soojin turned her surprised gaze towards her skirt.
That's when she realized her hand was already firmly holding onto Taeyang's hand.
It was a gesture that revealed the desire for him to penetrate deeper, to explore her intimate parts. Holding onto his sturdy wrist, she exerted force, inviting him to come inside.
"If you don't tell me, I'll stop right here and leave."
"I, I want…"
"You need to speak louder, noona."
Soojin spoke quietly as the thought of Taeyang leaving crossed her mind.
After not meeting for such a long time, is it going to end like this? It can't be.
Recently, she came across articles linking Yoomin and Melanie with Taeyang. Though it could be just gossip, the idea that someone wouldn't be smitten by Taeyang appeared far-fetched to her.
Even if she couldn't monopolize him, she needed to secure her priority.
That thought injected courage into Soojin. She wanted him to devour her as he did back then, roughly and passionately, like a madman.
Between her spread thighs, the snake squirmed with a slick sound, penetrating her entrance. Still, Soojin's desires exceeded the gratification the snake could offer alone.
"Not just fingers… Taeyang's… I want your cock, Taeyang…"
Perhaps now, without Baek Taeyang, her body had become unsatisfiable. Into the rush of pushing love, Yoo Soojin threw herself.
