This World is too Cruel to Men – Chapter 419

The atmosphere suddenly shifted to something quite peculiar, yet after that, there wasn’t exactly much said, so I thought we had somehow managed to get through it smoothly.

I wondered if the series of conversations that happened that day might have acted like some sort of trigger.

Contrary to my belief that everything had gone well, the attitudes of the three people towards me had drastically changed since that day.

In short, they seemed to show a much more proactive demeanor than before.

Of course, if that were all there was to it?

I wouldn’t have felt such a significant change.

After all, even though the Senior and Chae-rim had already demonstrated an active approach beforehand, Yoonseo, who was usually tripped up by her own shyness at crucial moments, had become proactive as well, which really was something.

So if the only change in the three of them was that?

I wouldn’t be feeling this awkwardness to such a degree.

What can I say?

Lately, the awkwardness I’ve been feeling is not just because of the significantly more proactive behavior of those three but more so because of the questions that seemed to follow unavoidably every time physical contact happened.

“How do you feel…?”

“Ugh…”

“Is it good…?”

Just like right now.

I clearly remember it wasn’t like this before, but lately, I’ve been getting asked such questions much more often.

And it’s not just one person; all three take turns asking like they conspired together, making it feel even more overwhelming.

And maybe because of that aspect.

Initially, I could answer right away without much thought, but before I knew it, that ability had slipped away.

Honestly, it couldn’t have turned out any other way.

I mean, after answering those questions so many times, they increasingly sounded like, “Isn’t it better that I do this than what they do?”

It might just be my feelings, but that’s how I sense it.

As a result, now whenever I get asked such questions, cold sweat starts trickling down my back.

The problem is… I can’t just ignore it.

Just look at Chae-rim, who’s sitting on top of me, gently stroking my thing with her hand.

If I say no, she’ll give me a look that says I’m guilty of something.

So, I ended up nodding dazedly; I guess that reaction pleased her.

With a smirk suggesting she expected such an answer, Chae-rim tilted her head and gave me a kiss on the cheek that made a smacking sound.

“Right? Noona is the best, right?”

The satisfied emotion behind that cooing was an additional bonus.

How should I put it… it really does make one feel odd.

Honestly, it was inevitable because, to be precise, I was the one being served in this situation, yet it always felt like I was the one doing the service.

‘Anyway…’

After satisfying Chae-rim like that, what usually follows is the Senior’s turn.

Given the situation, it seemed hard to find time outside of that moment, or maybe she was deliberately waiting for such timing, but it usually worked out that way.

And interacting with the Senior felt completely different from when it was just Chae-rim and me.

Given that Chae-rim prefers to take the lead, the Senior’s personality is quite the opposite.

To put it differently, she prefers being led by me rather than taking charge herself.

Considering that most women in this world are akin to Chae-rim, it was quite a peculiar thing, but that’s just how it was.

“Did you dress like this on purpose? Trying to turn me on?”

“Not like that…♡”

“Oh please, you can see right through your pants because of the moisture…!”

“Eek…♡”

Thanks to that, I often found myself speaking bluntly when I was with the Senior.

Of course, if she seemed a bit uncomfortable with such an attitude of mine, I would have tried to rein it in.

The moment I sensed that, I would have immediately toned it down, but instead of disliking it, she would flinch and tremble each time I made a shameful remark, making it impossible to hold back.

Honestly, how many men in the world could restrain themselves in a situation where an elegant beauty like the Senior behaves like that only in front of them?

And after I managed to excessively provoke and stimulate the Senior’s sense of shame?

Next was usually Yoonseo’s turn.

And the time spent with Yoonseo was quite different from the aforementioned two.

Firstly, there was the aspect of their personalities.

If Chae-rim, as mentioned first, enjoys taking the initiative, and the Senior enjoys being led, then Yoonseo fits snugly in between them.

She sometimes takes the lead like Chae-rim but also enjoys being led like the Senior, making her the epitome of balance.

At the same time, being right at that age, her curiosity was incredibly strong…

Which meant that spending time with Yoonseo often turned into a chance to satisfy that curiosity.

And that curiosity had everything to do with sexual matters.

“By the way, did you know about that?”

Because of that, when spending time with Yoonseo, it usually began with such statements.

So what in the world was she curious about this time?

“What’s that?”

“Well, I’ve heard somewhere that…”

What could she possibly have become curious about to lay such an elaborate foundation?

“So what exactly did you hear?”

As I asked out of curiosity, Yoonseo, who was glancing at me, carefully continued.

“Uh, well… why… it was in a YouTube recommendation video? I can’t remember exactly, but someone said that human senses are very mysterious, and just blocking sight can make sensitivity increase…”

What on earth was she getting at with such an abrupt statement?

“You watched something weird at night again, didn’t you?”

Saying that with a look that suggested that, Yoonseo seemed to flare up in response.

“What? It wasn’t anything weird! It was a completely educational channel!”

“Sure, that’s what you say.”

“I swear it’s true!”

“Yeah, I got it. Let’s take a break from YouTube for a while, alright?”

“Who are you to say? You were the one looking up dirty videos in middle school…”

“…That wasn’t every day!”

“Yeah, right, sure.”

Having teased her about her ‘educational’ interests that she tried to defend, I quickly returned to the main topic and asked Yoonseo.

“So?”

“Uh, huh?”

“No, there must have been a reason you suddenly brought that up.”

I guess she didn’t see that blunt topic shift coming from me.

“Um… no, I mean, I’m just wondering if that’s true in reality too.”

“So you want to verify it yourself?”

“…Yeah.”

“What do you propose for verification?”

“Well… we could try it out as mentioned there, right?”

The ‘there’ presumably meant trying it while blindfolded.

I figured that was it and immediately reached out my hand toward Yoonseo.

And just as I extended my hand toward her, she returned a look that seemed to say, “What…?”

So why was she making that expression?

Was it possible she didn’t mean it that way?

Thinking that might be the case, I asked Yoonseo in a very cautious voice.

“Wait, didn’t you want me to do that today…?”

And right after I asked, I got an unexpected response that I couldn’t have anticipated.

“What are you talking about? If we’re going to blindfold, you should be the one to do it.”

“Me?”

At that moment, it seemed I had taken a big bite of confusion.

Was she genuinely being serious?

“I’ll take that as your agreement… so I’ll blindfold you?”

Why was she so prepared when it’s usually the opposite? Yoonseo slowly approached me, holding what appeared to be a brand new blindfold.
