Ever since Yuuna Nakamori returned home, she has been lounging on the sofa, unable to shake off her feelings of loss. She couldn't help but think about how her beloved Sang-hyuk had been taken away by her friend, Henna.
'Taken away?'
How could she claim that something had been taken from her when she had never possessed it in the first place? She knew that she should congratulate Henna on her relationship with Sang-hyuk and step back gracefully, but...
"Ugh…"
The heart doesn't always follow reason. Yuuna wet her pillow with tears of loss.
She thought back to the day they had cleared the "Golden Orc Fortress" and the memories in the shower room.
"Henna, your breasts are truly amazing."
"Uh, yes… Yuuna, you're very beautiful too."
"Can I touch them?"
At the time, she hadn't known that Henna would become Sang-hyuk's girlfriend. She had touched Henna's breasts and deeply admired them. They were so soft. As a woman, she wanted to be enveloped by them, but she couldn't help but wonder how a man would feel. She couldn't stand the thought!
"It's incredible…"
"Ah… uh… Don't touch them too hard."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
Yuuna's heart ached as she reminisced about those times, and she couldn't help but feel that she should have been the one with Sang-hyuk.
Despite her concerns, Yuuna assumed that Kim Sang-hyuk wouldn't choose Henna, his childhood friend, simply because of their history. In Yuuna's mind, no matter how stunning a childhood friend's figure might be, if they were 'too familiar,' they wouldn't be able to stir a man's heart. She believed that as the 'new woman,' she was in a more favorable position to win his affections, deluding herself with this notion.
Yet, Henna was undeniably a "rival."
Yuuna needed to understand her intentions.
As they both washed up, Yuuna waited for the right moment to ask the question that had been on her mind.
"Henna, do you like Sang-hyuk?"
"Yes, I really like him."
Henna's cheeks flushed red.
Feeling awkward, she fiddled with her fingers.
"Have you ever confessed your feelings to him?"
Henna shook her head.
She admitted that, despite having feelings for him, she had never once confessed.
"Why not?"
"Because it's overwhelming just being friends."
"There's no such thing as being too close as friends! If you like someone, you should date them. Only the brave win the heart of a handsome man!"
"But... what if, by doing so, I can't even be friends with him anymore?"
In fear that even their current relationship might crumble,
Confessing was just as difficult for Yuuna.
They had chemistry, and the atmosphere was pleasant, but it felt slightly insufficient for a full-fledged romance.
"I can't bring myself to say it either."
"I see…"
"It's a big deal. Half of the girls in our class already like Sang-hyuk, right?"
"…Ugh."
"Kim Sang-hyuk, do you think you'll end up with a lot of female friends in the future?"
"Stop talking like that. I was the first one to like you."
The moment they confirmed their mutual feelings, Yuuna thought she could form an alliance with Henna.
"Still, it's true that we're the closest candidates for being girlfriends."
"Girlfriend candidates…?"
"Uh-huh! Are you just going to wait? If so, Sang-hyuk might be snatched away by someone else."
"You know, Yuuna. If you become a girlfriend like that, What's so good about it?"
Yuuna was at a loss for words.
Although she had achieved success in a hunter-like manner, pursuing and conquering what she desired.
It was the first time Yuuna had ever been attracted to a man and dated one, so she wasn't sure what came after "capturing" his heart.
"We can go on dates together. If I date Henna, we might be able to watch anime every day at home."
"Incredible…!"
Henna's eyes sparkled with excitement.
"And… um… quite a few… naughty things…"
Naughty things.
It was a mysterious world for Henna and Yuuna. Henna had something in mind.
'That.'
The breast discipline started on the first day.
That experience remained a thrilling and delightful memory of 'erotic acts.'
'…I want more of that. Am I a pervert? Me….'
"But there can only be one girlfriend, you know."
"Uh… I don't have much confidence."
"At least, the two of us can fend off other women."
"Fend off…? That's scary…"
"Would you be fine if he's taken away!?"
Henna vigorously shook her head.
"After we fend them off, we... confess our feelings."
"…Yuuna first… I can't..."
"…M-me!?"
Yuuna gasped for breath.
Although it's easy to say I'm going to outdo the other girls,
Confessing myself requires a significant amount of courage.
"I'll be content with being a slightly risqué childhood friend."
"Again, you're retreating. Besides, you're not just a little risqué, are you?"
Silence.
Yuuna fondled Henna's incredibly erotic breasts.
"Uh, uh-huh."
"Then I'll start with myself. First, we'll build intimacy."
"Are you really going to...?"Really?"
"Not immediately! A little... if I see the right moment."
"What's the moment?"
"It's when you think, 'Now's the time.'"
My heart aches.
What would he say if I told him I fell in love with him the day we first went to the dungeon together?
It's tormenting not to know.
"If I fail, I might not be able to get up for a while."
"At that time, I'll comfort you."
"Really? Will you comfort me with Henna's large breasts?"
Seeing the embarrassed Henna, Yuuna chuckles.
Sharing a crush on the same man creates a peculiar sense of solidarity.
It wouldn't have been possible if their genders were reversed.
When the one person the majority covets has overwhelming value, forming a romantic relationship is no easy task. No matter how friendly they pretend to be, at the core lies competition. Yuuna had been subtly looking down on Henna.
Deep down, she thought, 'I have an advantage over my childhood friend.' It wasn't due to Yuuna's poor character, but rather a result of her own objective analysis of her strengths.
* * *
Little did she know that everything would change in a single day.
"We just decided to go out," Henna said.
"What?"
This can't be happening. Yuuna felt her world crumble as she saw Sang-hyuk tightly holding Henna's hand, so tenderly and affectionately.
Yuuna, her judgment clouded, couldn't even remember what she said afterward. She had no recollection of how she managed to sit through her classes.
'She stole him. He's taken. He's gone.'
The devious nature of the human heart led her to think that if she had confessed her feelings first, perhaps she could have won Sang-hyuk's heart before Henna did. It was a painful realization.
'That wicked girl…'
She thought bitterly, recalling Henna's sly encouragement for her to confess first.
I knew there was no such concept as 'competition' in this situation, but it still felt cruel.
"Heh… Did you like those large breasts, Sang-hyuk?"
Yuuna was on the brink of tears.
"Her butt is bigger than mine... Her face… I'm prettier."
However, she felt pathetic for only being able to harbor such twisted thoughts internally. In the end, she wondered if it was fitting for kind-hearted Henna to be by his side.
"Ah~~~ I should have confessed... It would have been nice if I were his girlfriend.
If she had known that being quick to act would have made her the rightful partner...
"Nowadays, people say that SNS is for casual flings, and meetings are taken lightly... I didn't think Sang-hyuk would be that kind of person.
No.
Would a good-looking person like Kim Sang-hyuk date just anyone? He's dating Henna because she's on his level. If Henna is his type, Yuuna doesn't have the confidence to win. All the girls know how unbelievably stunning Henna's figure is. If someone's breasts or buttocks have that much flesh, it's normal for them to appear plump overall.
Yet her waist is strikingly narrow.
Her ankles and calves are also incredibly attractive. A completely unfair, cheat-like body.
The epitome of a man's desire is a body that manages to appear both voluptuous and slender at the same time.
'What am I thinking?'
I could have noticed Henna's kind heart!!
Why do I keep focusing on her chest?
Is it because I can barely maintain my sanity when I think I've lost my partner to that large bosom and alluring physique?
It's better if the object of my resentment is her ample breasts.
But if I consider that I lost to her as a woman, it feels like my heart will be ripped to shreds.
'Sang-hyuk. Say something...'
A silent scream within the heart.
'If I had confessed first, would you have accepted me?'
Unaware of Yuuna's inner turmoil, Sang-hyuk spent his breaks happily chatting with Henna, their fingers intertwined.
'Ugh… ….'
I want to intervene right away.
I want to topple everything.
I'm not the only one consumed by such desires.
The 2-F group chat has caught fire as well.
What's going on with those two?
They're blatantly flirting in front of everyone.
Ughhhh, Sang-hyuk has a girlfriend nowㅠㅠㅠㅠ
Did you think he's dating Yuuna?
'Did you think he's dating Yuuna?'
With that single line, Yuuna felt an overwhelming desire to confine herself.
Though she was a likely candidate, Sang-hyuk had drawn a line between them.
'Would it be impossible for the three of us to remain close now?'
She hadn't expected Henna to be so aggressive.
Had it been a "Gak"?
There was no denying the possibility that Sang-hyuk had become captivated by her full bosom.
Seeing a couple cooing over each other was painful enough.
But it was even more agonizing when they were out of sight.
What if they were doing it somewhere unknown to her?
"…No, right? Sang-hyuk…"
On the very first day of their relationship,
[Yuuna]
What's everyone doing?
She regretted using the group chat.
She had written it as if she were curious about everyone's news, but anyone could see that Yuuna was interested in Kim Sang-hyuk.
[Henna]
I'm watching anime at home.
[Kim Sang-hyuk]
I was held captive by the student council president, but I'm free now.
"Ah, thank goodness!"
So, they weren't together right now?
Yuuna felt elated by that fact alone.
[Kim Sang-hyuk]
If I don't finish this, I'll be expelled.
[Yuuna]
Don't worry! I'm here for you. I'll be by your side to help.
Our squad hasn't fallen apart yet.
Yuuna can't give up on Sang-hyuk's side position, even if it costs her life.
Even if he's a taken man with a girlfriend... If there's an opportunity from the side...
"Ah!"
I shouldn't be thinking like this.
Yet, these dark thoughts keep welling up within me.
"I can't stop liking him."
As expected, I can't give up on Sang-hyuk.
I've come to realize that my childhood friend was my most dangerous rival.
'…That gloomy, big-breasted girl…'
Why did her attitude suddenly change when she had been playing it cool like an herbivore all this time?
I recall Kim Sang-hyuk's confident demeanor in front of "The Devil Merchant."
Is it because his abilities are so great that Henna suddenly feels reluctant to share him with others?
'I already liked him before all this happened!'
Alright. It's time to attack.
I will snatch Sang-hyuk away from Henna with my fatally tempting allure!
For instance…
"Hey, Kim Sang-hyuk. Did you know I've always liked you? Hmph."
"Ah…!! If I had known, I wouldn't have dated Henna!"
"Ah!"
Yuuna couldn't bear her own childish fantasies, so she threw her pillow and thrashed about wildly. She was as tempting as a virgin, and if she seriously considered it, she would think:
"How can I make a move on someone who already has a girlfriend? They'll think I'm totally frivolous and shallow!"
From a woman's perspective, this is a dilemma. If a man doesn't show any interest, she can't make the first move. She may crave to compete in a no-holds-barred battle for his affection, but in the process, would she earn his scorn? It's a complete reversal of the situation.
Being cunning is her only option, but sly, fox-like behavior didn't suit Yuuna at all.
"Maybe I'll think about it while exploring the dungeon together."
Even though his girlfriend would probably be there anyway.
"Wait."
Yuuna, struck with an idea, hurriedly opened her calendar. Today was Friday; tomorrow was the weekend, and the academy would be closed.
And on weekends...
"A Wholesome Romance in Another World"?
It's an incredibly popular series. It's ranked number one annually by Anif! If you haven't seen it yet, you must watch it!
Kim Sang-hyuk's Date at Henna's House!!
"Aaah!! No, Sang-hyuk, nooo!!"
Yuuna hurled the innocent bear-shaped pillow once more.
"You mustn't fall for that bosomy girl's sorcery!"
Where did it all start?
That sulky girl, ugh!!
What could happen between couples on the weekend? Could it be sex?!
"No, no. Sang-hyuk wouldn't do that with someone he hasn't been dating for long!"
What if Henna tempts him with her breasts?
"Ugh… Ugh… Ugh… Ahh…"
In the end, it was Yuuna who dampened the pillowcase again.
