I took a deep breath and exhaled, “Hooo…,” then checked again.
“Noah, did I tell you to take your clothes off?”
“Yes…”
Noah replied in a voice so quiet it was almost inaudible. His face was already as red as a beet, likely embarrassed by what he had just said.
“Clothes… if you don’t take them off… I can’t apply the oil…”
He pointed at the oil in his hand.
I see. So you’re thinking of applying this oil on my body and giving me a massage.
Hmm…
“I’ll take them off.”
“Right?”
It seems strange that you hesitated before, wasn’t it for this reason? It’s quite the situation—having an uncle ask a high school girl to touch him.
Isn’t this the worst scenario?
If you’re going to give me a massage, I would gladly accept it, but taking off my clothes is a bit…
With that thought in mind, I looked at Noah, who seemed to understand.
But even so, Noah didn’t back down.
“Still, let’s try it once.”
“But… isn’t this too sudden? Taking off clothes and all…”
“This stuff is really good for the skin. Besides, it was expensive…”
“How much?”
Noah held up three fingers.
Thirty thousand won, huh.
So if we don’t use this, thirty thousand won will go to waste, right?
Apparently, these were things Noah bought instead of picking out something for himself. In other words, it was Noah’s gesture of goodwill.
After pondering for a moment, I sighed and started to take off my clothes.
As I removed my shirt and revealed my skin, Noah covered his eyes with his hands.
…You know, I can still see your eyes peeking through your fingers.
“Se… Seriously, I didn’t expect…”
“Hmm?”
“Didn’t expect your body to be in such good shape…”
‘Not what I expected’?
Hold on, are you saying…
“…Have you been thinking about my body regularly, Uncle?”
“A… No! That’s not what I meant!”
“Hmm… This feels dangerous… Are you sure you’re not getting any ideas?”
“Wo… Who would do such a thing?!”
Seeing Noah turn red with embarrassment, I chuckled softly.
That’s right. Good old Noah wouldn’t do anything like that.
I wondered if I should take off my pants too and reached for my belt.
Noah’s cheeks turned bright red.
Hmm, maybe this isn’t necessary after all.
I buried my face in the pillow and lay down.
“Alright, please take care of me.”
“Y… Yes! Understood!”
Zuuuuk.
The sound of something coming out of a bottle filled the room, followed by the sound of Noah rubbing his hands together.
Normally, I’d hear the soft friction of skin against skin, but today was different. Instead, there was the sticky sound of something being rubbed together.
It seems Noah is warming the oil in his hands.
“Alright, here we go.”
The massage began. Noah’s small hands pressed firmly into the muscles beside my spine.
“Oooh!”
A small gasp escaped my lips.
Noah was pressing into the muscles along either side of my spine, which seemed to quiver in delight from the refreshing sensation.
Everywhere Noah’s hands moved, a soothing sensation spread through my body.
‘This kid knows what they’re doing.’
Thinking about it, Noah must have developed some strength through various part-time jobs.
His hands must be pretty well-trained by now.
Using his strong thumb, Noah pressed down along the line of my shoulders while speaking.
“I used to do this for Dad, and he loved it.”
“For your dad…?”
“Yes. How does it feel?”
“Mm… He must have loved it. You’re a good daughter, Noah.”
Before long, my voice grew drowsy, and a strange noise, “Uuuuhhh…” escaped me.
“Pffft.”
That was Noah laughing.
It seems he isn’t entirely against this either.
“Alright.”
More oil was applied to my body, and Noah spread it around while speaking seriously.
“Here we go!”
+++++
Noah wasn’t without hesitation either.
Of course, it makes sense.
How could someone inexperienced with touching men suddenly start massaging one without feeling awkward? The barriers just seemed too high.
‘This is… medical treatment.’
That’s how Noah justified it.
This is strictly professional medical treatment.
Don’t people in regular massage parlors say the same thing? That associating massages with lewdness leads to unfair misunderstandings.
Noah didn’t want to become someone who always thinks of things in a dirty way.
No matter what, Noah didn’t want to be seen as vulgar.
Even though Noah made that resolution…
“Alright, let’s try this.”
At those words, Noah swallowed hard.
Seventeen years old. For a girl at this age, who naturally has curiosity about these kinds of things, seeing a man’s bare skin is incredibly stimulating.
Noah quickly averted her gaze, worried that she might start having inappropriate thoughts if she stared too long.
At least there was one fortunate aspect.
“Uuuuhhhh…”
“Pfft.”
“Hnnn…”
He clearly showed signs of being the typical middle-aged man receiving a massage. Every time Noah pressed down, he made strange noises, making her laugh involuntarily.
She remembered the days when she used to knead her father’s shoulders with her tiny hands, and a smile crept onto her face.
Yes. This is all for Uncle.
For someone who cooks for me, comforts me, and does countless exhausting tasks, isn’t he deserving?
Now, I’m simply repaying his kindness in some small way.
For a moment, I felt a strange emotion and felt ashamed.
‘I need to work harder.’
Of course, since this was unfamiliar territory, there were some humorous moments.
For instance.
“Kyaa!?”
“No… Noah?”
“I’m sorry… I slipped…”
“Mm… That’s fine, but…you… touched me.”
“!”
“Be careful; you might hurt yourself.”
“Yes…”
While massaging near the waist, Noah slipped forward, causing her chest to accidentally brush against my back.
Each time something like this happened, she tried to clear her mind and focus more intently on the massage, banishing distractions and mistakes.
Any improper thoughts needed to disappear—had to disappear.
‘Wow… Uncle’s back is so broad…’
Why am I having these kinds of thoughts?
The prominent erector spinae muscles and surrounding smaller muscles were well-developed—not overly large or flashy, but just right.
‘This isn’t good…’
My chest kept tingling.
For some reason, my heart was racing, and strange feelings kept surfacing. A kind of restless longing deep inside—
‘QQQ!’
‘What’s wrong?’
Noah quickly sent a telepathic message to QQQ.
‘Just make some random noises like usual! Hurry!’
‘B… But why are you making strange noises!?’
‘Yes! Keep going like that!’
‘QQQ…! I don’t understand what you’re doing! What exactly are you doing?!’
QQQ cautiously flew to the window, opened it slightly, and peeked inside.
‘Noah-sama…’
‘What?’
‘Your expression is strange…!’
Though Noah couldn’t see her own face, if she had, she’d have been shocked.
Her pupils were glazed over, her cheeks flushed, and her mouth kept curling into an unsettling grin.
A pervert.
There was no doubt about it—she looked like a pervert.
Unaware of this, Noah assumed she just looked tired and serious.
‘QQQ… I saw something scary…’
‘Why are you acting like this?’
‘It’s nothing… Nothing at all…’
From QQQ’s reaction, it seemed there was definitely something unusual going on.
Listening to her increasingly ragged breathing, Noah became certain.
‘I should probably stop soon.’
Almost all the tense areas had been worked out, and he seemed to be sleeping peacefully now. Still, perhaps it’s better if he sleeps with his clothes on?
“Umm…”
At that moment, Shin Hyun muttered in his sleep, rolling over to reveal his front. Noah unconsciously swallowed hard at the sight.
‘I can’t keep going like this.’
I need to somehow get him dressed so I have somewhere to look.
Suddenly, a bizarre urge to lick him crossed Noah’s mind, prompting her to act quickly.
‘I must be really exhausted.’
+++++
“Uncle, Uncle.”
“Mm… Hm?”
Sweeps. I wiped the corner of my mouth with my hand, realizing drool had soaked my palm. I must have fallen asleep during that short span.
“You must’ve been really tired.”
“You slept very soundly.”
“Haha… Guess so.”
Checking the clock, I realized 30 minutes had passed. During that time, Noah’s face had turned red from continuing the massage.
Her breathing also seemed a little heavy.
‘She must’ve worked hard.’
Noah clearly looked exhausted. I was grateful. She went through all this trouble for me.
Then it’s my turn to reward her now.
“Uncle, your clothes-”
“Noah.”
“Yes?”
“Come here for a second.”
When I gestured, Noah hesitantly approached.
My hand moving toward her head. I gently patted her.
“Ahh…”
Why is she avoiding my gaze like this? We’ve done this plenty of times before.
Noah emitted a low sound and soon turned away, blushing.
In doing so, her pale nape came into view, reminding me of the earlier massage she gave me.
“The neck massage was really refreshing.”
It was where she used her fingers to press along the sides.
“Doesn’t she like being petted? Let’s try this instead.”
Noah must be tired from her magical girl duties, plus the battle, and now the massage.
Even for a lively teenager, it must’ve been exhausting.
I repositioned my hand and placed it on the back of Noah’s neck.
“Huh?”
“See if this feels good.”
“Just a sec, Uncle-”
Before Noah could finish her sentence, I began to knead the back of her neck.
Kneading.
The soft skin beneath my fingers and the muscles underneath. I pressed and released a few times, loosening them.
And then…
“Noah, how does that feel?”
“…”
“Uncle is pretty good at massages-”
“QQQ… Hnn QQQQ…”
A moan, caught between pleasure and something else, escaped her lips.
“QQQ… Hmm…”
…I realized something had gone awry.
