This World is too Cruel to Men – Chapter 421

The whispered question I posed close to Dogun’s ear went unanswered.

Although no response came from Dogun, just the brief flinch he had shown was enough of an answer.

Perhaps it was because I had received direct confirmation from the very person involved that the thought I had been secretly toying with turned out to be true.

It was nothing like the meager feeling I had when we all gathered here to eat together; instead, something dark and heavy surged from within, rising ominously.

Could it be that those two had become that kind of relationship?

Naturally, I had entertained that degree of speculation.

Why wouldn’t I?

It was painfully obvious that something had transpired between them.

Thus, the “What if…” or “Could it be…” notions crossed my mind, but to have it validated, when just a moment ago it was merely imagination or even delusion, was far more horrifying than when it had just been speculation.

It was definitely terrifying back then, but here and now, it was even worse.

“Hah…”

Honestly, just considering Chae-rim’s existence was already overwhelming, but now I had to factor in Baeksulhwa as well.

If that were the case, hadn’t nothing really changed from before?

It was absurd how things had turned out this way, and while I had thought I was somewhat ahead in the game, it seemed I was mistaken…

“Seriously…”

Was I tense from the unexpected turn of events?

Watching Dogun freeze up and stiffen made the rage and jealousy churn inside me, but for now, I took a deep breath to calm myself.

That was really all I could do.

Because getting angry about something that had already happened was pointless; it would only be a release that wouldn’t solve anything.

So what I needed to do now wasn’t to express my anger, but rather… completely eliminate the possibility of such things happening again in the future.

But how?

What should I do to prevent any more women from getting close to Dogun?

Apart from the anxiety flooding my mind, in all honesty, I was a bit curious.

I wanted to know how it compared to when I was with him.

“So… how was it?”

I whispered this to the still frozen Dogun’s ear.

“Was it nice being with Seolhwa…?”

Though my question was purely from curiosity, did it sound different to Dogun’s ears?

From somewhere, a faint sound of a gulp echoed.

Yet, since there was no way to take back what I had just said, I continued.

“Compared to me, how was it? Who felt better? Your sister? Or… me?”

“No, why would you even ask that…”

“You’re not denying that you were with my sister, are you?”

Perhaps realizing his mistake from my words, Dogun’s mouth, which had been slightly ajar, shut tightly again.

At that moment, I made a resolution.

“So… when was it better for you?”

Given the circumstances, I was determined to hear the answer to that question no matter what.

So I climbed onto Dogun’s lap, where I had placed him on the sofa.

Perhaps it was just my imagination, but Dogun’s thighs felt particularly firm today as I used them as my seat, leaning against his upper body.

Then, I pressed my lips to his revealed lips beneath the mask with a soft smack and…

Ssshhh—

I slowly began to slide my hand down.

“Ugh…”

As my fingers started to brush against his clothing, was it just the sensation that made him shiver?

In that instant, Dogun’s body twitched, his chair trembling beneath me.

The tremor that passed through our tightly pressed thighs sent chills down my spine.

Was that strange sensation the reason I couldn’t tear my gaze away from him?

At the same time, I found myself wondering.

What was Dogun feeling right now?

What emotions was he experiencing?

I wanted to know, but I also didn’t want to know.

Being in a situation where I couldn’t act or see would surely be frightening.

The fact that Dogun had been gulping repeatedly probably stemmed from the same reason.

Thinking this internally, I continued to slide my hand lower.

Finally, after descending down to where I had been teasing his inner thigh all along…

“Huh… it’s standing?”

As if it had been waiting for this moment, Dogun’s member began to rise, mixing feelings of delight and irritation emerged within me.

I really felt like I was losing my mind…

Just as I thought, this was indeed a maddening situation.

From my perspective, it was simply a matter of feeling helpless, unable to see or act.

No matter what Yoonseo did, I had no choice but to accept it.

Yet, instead of being satisfied with putting me in such a position, now Yoonseo was sitting on my lap, rubbing the outline of my hardness through my pants… if I could, I really wanted to turn the tables on her.

I wished to lift Yoonseo off my lap and reverse the situation, but—

Clink—

That was impossible.

For even at this moment, my hands remained bound by the handcuffs Yoonseo had placed on me.

Thus, even if I wanted to resist, it was futile.

Of course… I knew well enough that I had done nothing right.

That fact was obvious, but still, wasn’t it a bit too much to render me unable to use my hands and eyes like this?

That was the truth of how I felt, but for now, I chose to keep it inside.

From what I gathered, Yoonseo seemed to be angry enough to cause this, and if that were the case, provoking her further wouldn’t do me any good.

So, I intended to remain silent for the time being and wait for an opportunity to act.

After all, one chance would suffice.

Hence, I opted to stay still, and perhaps because of my docile appearance, it seemed to please Yoonseo.

“Ugh…”

Accompanied by a sound rich in satisfaction, Yoonseo’s hands began to work more eagerly.

While I languished in the pleasure rising from below, it must not have taken long before Yoonseo began to become lighter on me.

‘Just a little more… just a little longer…’

Timing was everything.

Finally, when Yoonseo’s weight lightened enough for me to think I could manage—

“Huh…!”

“Ah…?!”

With the handcuffed hands, I lifted Yoonseo’s buttocks, standing up.

Of course… it wasn’t as easy as it sounded.

The position made it hard for me to apply force.

So, partially using core strength, I lifted Yoonseo and then—

“What are you doing?!”

Perhaps taken aback by this unexpected development, Yoonseo flailed her limbs in surprise as I spun around, still holding her against me.

And then I lowered Yoonseo onto the very sofa where I had just been sitting, my body leaning over her.

“Ugh…♡”

Being pinned down like that might have felt quite foreign to Yoonseo.

Or maybe it was because her body had warmed up while she had been playing with me.

With a hint of sweet moaning, Yoonseo flinched under me, her body twitching.

While relishing that shiver transmitted through our bodies, I leaned in and whispered softly to Yoonseo.

“Well now… doesn’t that put us in a completely opposite situation compared to before? Right?”

Perhaps it was my remark that made her feel a sense of pressure.

From somewhere, a sound of a gulp echoed into the air.

As I savored that sound flowing into my ears—

“You have your way with me now, so… that means I can do the same, right?”

Thanks to Yoonseo’s diligent caresses, I began rubbing my swollen member against her body.

“Ah, wait a minute…♡”

At that moment, I was joyfully repaying the favor of what Yoonseo had just done.

Just then, the sound of the hospital room door creaking open echoed—

“What are you two doing…?”

A voice all too familiar pierced my ears.
