"Heuu… hoo..."
A white, slender hand grabbed my chest unexpectedly.
My chest, which was being squeezed into a suggestive shape by that hand.
The pleasantly warm pressure that kept making my body feel warm.
And... the guilty pleasure of having my chest touched by a friend.
All of these mixed together, wreaking havoc on my brain.
I bit my lower lip hard, afraid that I might accidentally let out a lewd sound any moment, but, "Haa…. Haauk, uhng…"
The very thought that I had to suppress my moans started to excite me even more.
Barely managing to control my eyes from rolling back, I looked at Eunjeong, who was still kneading my chest.
Her face was... expressionless, as if she were kneading dough because it just happened to be in front of her.
Why on earth is she doing this all of a sudden?
...I recalled what she said before she touched my chest.
Because we're friends, this is okay, right?
Because we're friends...
Come to think of it, even at the Academy, really close female friends would sometimes joke around and touch each other's chests.
In the actual 'real world,' I'm not sure, but since this world is based on subculture, it's not strange that there's a setting where girls can feel free to touch each other's chests.
In any case, considering I'm experiencing it directly, I can't deny it...
I looked again at Eunjeong, who was touching my chest.
Completely unaware, engaging in such a sexual act—an act that, to me, felt essentially like caressing—as a friend, she looks so incredibly provocative.
No, no, this isn't right. I'm Eunjeong's friend.
Before she realizes what I'm thinking, I need to pretend like nothing's wrong.
But, even as I try to control my melting expression, even as I try to suppress the moans that escape, I simply can't do it.
The pleasure I'm feeling for the first time 'as a woman' in this 'world'... isn't something my weak patience can endure.
"Hey, L-Lee Seon-ah. Are... you okay?"
Seeing me in such a state, Eunjeong spoke to me.
In her view, it was just harmless play between girls, so hearing strange moans must have been surprising...
Taking advantage of the moment when her hand slowed, I barely managed to calm my breath and spoke up.
"O-Of course... between friends... something like this, huh... is normal…"
...Even though I was trembling a little, I think I handled it pretty well.
Whether she was worried about me or not, Eunjeong stopped her hand from touching my chest.
Then she stared intently at my face, as if to see if I was being truthful.
I smiled as brightly as I could, desperately pretending everything was fine.
I am a woman. I am just having my chest touched by a same-sex friend. I am not feeling it.
I am not having my nipples harden, nor are my panties slightly getting wet.
...I am not thinking about wanting my chest to be teased by the friend in front of me.
Could it be that my self-hypnosis worked?
Eunjeong took her eyes off my face and resumed rubbing my chest.
...This time with both hands.
"Ugh... hu-huh, hhh...".
Suddenly, the intensified sensation returned, causing moans to escape my lips before I could even cover them.
The tingling feeling, which began where Eunjeong's hand touched, was now spreading throughout my entire upper body, concentrating at the tips of my chest.
Every time my erect nipples brushed against the inside of my bra with her touch, I felt as if white sparks were exploding before my eyes.
It was a strange sensation I had never experienced since being transported to this world, but I immediately knew it was not something I should feel in front of a friend.
Feeling a storm of panic in my mind, I grabbed her wrist desperately as I exclaimed, "Ah… haah, haa…"
For the first time with a woman's body... I embarrassingly reached a climax with ridiculous ease.
My body trembled beyond my control, my legs spread on their own, and my waist quivered uncontrollably.
Everything in my vision faded to white, and it felt as if small fireworks were going off in my head, rendering me thoughtless.
All I could do was cling tightly to Eunjeong's slender wrist as a support...
How much time passed like that, I wasn't sure.
Starting to feel my breath return, my senses gradually came back to life.
"Hah, haah… haa…"
In my ears, I heard my own ragged breathing, and my heart was pounding wildly as if I'd just sprinted.
And between my legs, as if having leaked, I felt something warm and wet soaking the area.
As I climaxed and my waist trembled, I felt as if something was being released, maybe... it was the secretion flowing out. I wanted to shake my head to dispel the random thoughts, but a strong sense of lethargy wrapped around me, making it difficult to move my head.
"…Seon-ah. Lee Seon-ah, hey."
It was Eunjeong's voice calling me.
With great effort, I turned my gaze and saw Eunjeong with a slightly furrowed brow.
"If you're back to your senses, could you let go of my hand? My wrist hurts."
"Oh, sorry…"
I realized I was still holding onto her wrist from when I was overwhelmed.
I hastily apologized to her and released my grip on her wrist.
"Whew…"
Eunjeong lightly shook her wrist, and her sigh felt directed at me, making me flinch unconsciously.
…What do I do now?
I have no clue how to navigate out of this situation.
Should I just say I was joking and pretending to... climax?
However, saying that feels impossible, because of my nipples still erect inside the bra, and my lower body that's completely drenched.
The biggest issue is my soaked skirt; the stain will be visible for sure...
I glanced to see what Eunjeong was doing, and noticed she was massaging her wrist, seemingly lost in thought, sitting absentmindedly with her head slightly tilted.
Then, suddenly, her gaze returned to me, and our eyes met.
"Lee Seon-ah."
"Huh? Uh, yeah."
"You just... climaxed, didn't you?"
I knew I was caught.
Well, with such a reaction, there's no way I wouldn't be.
I hesitated for a moment, wondering if I could make up something, but then decided to just confess the truth when—
Before I could, Eunjeong spoke again.
"No, that can't be right. There's no way a girl would climax just from a bit of teasing between friends, right?"
"...Huh? Ah, yeah... Right, just a joke between friends. Ah, ahaha..."
…Is she pretending she didn't notice?
Or maybe she can't quite believe I could climax that easily.
I let out a sigh of relief and smiled widely.
But that relief was short-lived.
"Then what's this? Here, and the wet spot. It's strange, isn't it?"
"Eek!"
Eunjeong suddenly poked the edge of my chest… right where the nipples are, with her index finger, and then pointed to my skirt, showing the stain.
"Uh, well, that…"
"Lee Seon-ah."
"Ah, yes…"
Eunjeong looked at me seriously.
"I want to trust you, to believe you're not some kind of pervert who gets off from a joke between friends…"
"…Yeah."
"But it's really suspicious… Do you understand how I feel?"
"..."
"Answer me."
"Uh, yes..."
Cha Eun-jung, who was looking at me in a way I've never seen before, she was suspicious of me.
Seeing her face felt like a dagger piercing my heart.
"Then let's do this. We'll conduct a test."
"A test?"
While I was staring blankly, blinking my eyes, Eunjeong took a sip of her juice before continuing.
"I need assurance that you're not a pervert. Only then can we keep being friends… So, I'm going to test you."
"W-What kind of..."
"First, we'll call Kim Hanna to join us."
"What? No, wait, Hanna is..."
I quickly waved my hands.
It's bad enough that Eunjeong caught me, but if I were to involve Hanna at this point...
"Hanna deserves to be involved. Isn't she a friend too? Kim Hanna should at least know if her friend is a pervert or not before hanging out."
"..."
"Don't want to?"
"Oh, no! Alright, let's include Hanna too..."
"Good decision."
Eunjeong's expression, which had been tense, softened slightly.
Then she reached out and gently patted my head as if to praise me.
Feeling that warm touch, the tension within me gradually eased, and a faint smile appeared on my lips.
"Anyway, we'll need to discuss the test items with Hanna as well... Here's what I'm thinking for now."
"Oof…"
Eunjeong lowered the hand she had placed on my head and suddenly grabbed my chest firmly.
With a touch that felt as if she was trying to squeeze milk from it... a sharp sensation traveled up my spine.
"For starters, whether you react strangely to even trivial touches between friends. I think this is the most urgent. If you feel something from such 'innocent teasing,' ...honestly, I wouldn't want to be next to you."
"Yeah, got it."
"Then, let's stop here for today. It's already... 8 PM. We'll discuss the rest with Hanna tomorrow and finalize it."
"..."
"Your skirt is wet, so take it off and change into this for now. Get it cleaned and return it later or something."
I nodded slightly as I took the clothes Eunjeong handed me.
I was wondering how I would get home wearing the skirt stained with fluids—luckily, she had a solution.
After changing into the black tracksuit pants she gave me, I rolled up the skirt and stuffed it into my bag.
...I'll think about the smell of fluids on my books and stationery later.
As Eunjeong and I opened the karaoke room door and stepped out, the female staff member looked at us with a bright red face.
Why is she like that?
Eunjeong followed my gaze to the staff member's face, then glanced at the ceiling of the room we had left, as if suspecting—discovering something in the corner that startled her. She grabbed my arm and hurried out of the karaoke room.
"How could I have missed that? Oh, seriously..."
"Eunjeong, my wrist—."
"Oh, sorry. Did it hurt?"
"No, I-I'm fine."
After we left the karaoke room... we stood in the street for a moment to catch our breath and then headed home together on friendly terms.
Since Eunjeong's house is on the way to mine, we often walk home together like this. With the holidays coming up, though, this would be our last time for a while.
Silently moving along, we finally reached the point where we had to part ways, and Eunjeong abruptly stopped.
"Okay then, get home safely. See you tomorrow."
"Yeah, um... you get home safely too..."
As we exchanged goodbyes, Eunjeong naturally reached out and started squeezing my butt like dough. Feeling the shape of my backside change under her touch, I noticed a warmth beginning to spread between my legs.
...Just like in the karaoke room.
Fearing I might accidentally let out a moan, I bit down hard on my lower lip and clutched at my pants.
This is... just harmless teasing between friends, right?
"Well, I'm off now."
"…Okay, get home safely."
Eunjeong studied my face for a while as she continued to knead my backside, then nodded slightly and offered her farewell.
Perhaps she was trying to confirm something about me.
I watched her walk away in a daze... then let out a deep sigh and began to move.
...What a truly eventful day it was.
