Chapter 384 – Addiction

@@

Beep Beep-! Rattle.

“Haa… After…”

Stella let out a sticky breath and went helplessly into her room.
Lying on her bed without washing, she thought of the incident with Jihyeok in her car as her own legs trembled.

‘…..’

Ji-hyeok’s hand, which came in close enough to almost touch the bra strap, moved as if searching for her prey…
Instantly, the chicken meat sprouted, and at the same time, there was even a little excitement.
The feeling of giving her own body for the first time. My heart still beats so much.

With her face almost buried in her pillow, she turned her head slightly to her side and examined her own wrist.
Saehwa and Adele told me that the device makes a resonant sound when it is being charged.
And she herself heard the resonance. Very sure.

Ugh! And a resounding sound.
I heard that the pitch of the sound changes depending on her excitement level…
How excited was he? I’m not sure about that.

If you masturbate, can you compare it to what you just did?
At this thought, Stella was taken aback.

“Oh no…!”

It’s crazy to think of such a stupid idea.
It is clear that the current self is in a state where her mind has wandered around.
Stella, who lay upright, soothed her mind and body by doing her abdominal breathing, which Boyoung had taught her.
At the same time, she closed her eyes and tried to recall the feeling Jihyeok had touched her.
For a while,

Smart.

A knock was heard from outside, and the door to the room was thrown open.
Startled, Stella lifted her upper body.

“Who, who dares to open the door! Uh!?”

Alex flinched at his sister’s cry and took a half step back.

“Oh, why…? You knocked.”

“You should ask first! You do it somewhere else!?”

“I didn’t get an answer when I called, so I wondered what happened… I’m sorry…”

Alex scratches the back of his head and apologizes.
Realizing that she was just too angry at her sister, as usual, Stella scratched her head.

“No… Why? I’m hungry? Can you cook me?”

“It’s okay. I’ll dress it up. But sister, what happened? Why are you so sensitive?”

“It’s just because I’m tired. Wait a minute…”

Stella sniffed her nose.
It was because the smell of alcohol mixed with the scent of black cherry from the living room.
Narrowing her eyebrows, she questioned Alex.

“Have you been drinking?”

“A little… Not with my friends, I drank with the part-timer boss.”

Because he’s the boss… If he didn’t hang out with the students, would it be okay to let them go?
Judging from the fact that he came in after speaking honestly, it seems that the boss suggested drinking first…
Well, Alex is a student, but he’s an adult, and if you squeeze him too much, you’ll only get a backlash, so I’ll just let it go today.

Crucially, I didn’t have the energy to discipline Alex right now.
That was the biggest

“How much did you drink?”

“Just two cans of beer and a glass of liquor poured by the boss.”

“Didn’t you have an accident?”

“I didn’t hit. I have to come to my senses now.”

“Okay… And be careful. Knock and ask if anyone is there first.”

“Yes. What are you doing tomorrow?”

Tomorrow… Tomorrow… I have to go to training early, and after training, I have to meet Ji-hyeok.
But I couldn’t be honest about this.
Since the training is related to the Beast Slayer, of course it has to be kept secret, and there is a high possibility that Alex will go into a fit of rage if he meets Ji-hyeok.

“You have to practice at the agency. You?”

“I just want to play games with my friends.”

“What about Alba?”

“Since tomorrow is a holiday, I drank with the boss.”

“OK got it. I’m going to sleep now, can you come out?”

“Without washing? Somehow, when I entered the room, it smelled.”

“Gee, really…?”

Stella, her eyes wide open and sniffing.
Alex burst out laughing.

“It’s bullshit. Doesn’t smell. And sister.”

“Yes?”

“Cheer up. Sleep well.”

Alex quickly closed the door, as if he was embarrassed to be told to cheer up.
Stunned by her brother’s encouragement after a long time, Stella looked at the closed door.

‘Did anything good happen today…?’

Did the boss give you a compliment that made your ears bleed?
Or did you even have a girlfriend?
Whatever it was, the support from my younger brother gave me great strength.
Stella lay back down with a smile on her lips, tilting her head at the strange smell that blended into her own nose.

The smell of alcohol still lingers in the room,
What is that unpleasant smell that sneaks up there?
It may or may not seem familiar…
I wonder if it’s just mixed with the air freshener and it smells awful.

‘Ah, I don’t know…!’

It’s because I’ve been through a big deal today and I’m sensitive.
Let’s not think hard.
Rather than that, I was more worried about how I would behave if I met Jihyeok tomorrow.
I couldn’t pretend that nothing was wrong.
Because just looking at it is sure to make her face blush.

Then, will you give up at all? Why did you do that without permission?
No, in order to do that, the moment Ji-hyeok touched him, he should have scolded her on the spot.
So what is the best way to do it?

‘Driving me crazy…’

Stella, who had been imagining all sorts of ways, stayed up all night without finding her answer.

**

[World Federation, jealous of Beast Slayer Headquarters?]
[Recently, the World Alliance has openly conducted research on the next generation of Beast Slayers.
The Union expressed great regret, saying that it needed a hero under the command of the Union, not the headquarters, and that if all Beast Slayers belonged to the headquarters, they could be put into private missions.
In addition…….

It is the opinion of the Union that Beast Slayers should be managed by the Allied Powers, and that they should use their strength for a just world under the care of carefully selected talented people.]

While reading an article on the Internet, I involuntarily laughed.

“It was quiet these days. Unlike things…”

Then, Choi A-ram, who was sitting next to the driver’s seat with an emotionless expression, gave him a quadruple.

“Currently, articles like this are pouring in as if they have dominated public opinion. It is the same with newspapers and the Internet.”

“How are people reacting?”

“I am very sympathetic to the fact that it can be used for private missions. Apparently, the queens do not belong to the country… I think they have some anxiety.”

It is the same as the world coalition trying to use this to open a public opinion war, and the ignorant and oblivious ordinary people who are caught by the Holla Party.
As expected, it is a tradition that boasts a long history that all forces go crazy when the world is peaceful.
Soon, the demon lord will clean it up.

“Shall I speak to Marcella?”

“Done. You should already figure it out. Aram, rather than this, try broadening your feet to small and medium-sized idol agencies. Do you know what Marcella is doing?”

“I know.”

“Okay, let’s work together.”

“Shall we say goodbye to WW Entertainment?”

“Since the number of years has grown moderately… Organize it.”

“All right.”

Choi Ah-ram bowed his head, accepted the newspaper I held out, and walked away with a crackling sound.
I drove Stella to the front of her house, and when she was outside, she quickly opened the passenger side door.

“You have to wear a mask, why are you doing that?”

As soon as they met, Stella complained.

“You wore a hat.”

“Is your face covered with a hat? What if someone recognizes you?”

“How are you? You should know that I’m going to schedule anyway…”

“I live very optimistically. Ride quickly.”

“…..”

Stella pursed her lips, opened the back door, and climbed into it.
It is to rebel and rebel.
I asked, fed up.

“Are you going to do this?”

“What. Why.”

“Why are you angry?”

“… No one recognized it, but it’s because I’m giving my soul first. If there were a lot of people, I would have put on a mask first. I’ve just finished training, so I’m in a tough state…”

The area under Stella’s eyes, who were expressing resentment, was dark.
I also couldn’t sleep properly.
I let out a shallow sigh and went to Stella’s side.
Then he closed all the doors of her car with her remote control and covered her with a blanket.

“Sorry.”

“…..”

Stella’s facial expression melted in an instant.
She pulled the blanket over her chin and shook her head gently.

“I’m sorry for getting angry too…”

“Nope. Are you crazy right now? Sigh here.”

“Am I okay?”

“Your dark circles have come down to your cheekbones. I don’t think I slept well, just rest.”

Stunned, she made her excuses.

“Muh, what did you say… Did you sleep well? I almost got scolded by YuRia sunbaenim for sleeping late, right?”

“Did YuRia train you today? Shall we call and check?”

“Senior also has a personal history, so you can’t just call me like that…! Don’t do it.”

“Then lie down quietly.”

“…. Yes.”

Finally, in desperation, Stella casually put her head on my lap.
You must have had a lot of worries about how to treat me, but I can see that everything flows naturally and I am relieved.
Blinking her big eyes, she called me.

“Brother.”

“Why.”

“You know… I was scolded by my senior today.”

“Did you make a mistake?”

“No… I only had a little bit of training.”

You’re out of energy She knew it.
You couldn’t have filled even 1 percent with what happened yesterday, right?
As a result, I must have felt impatient… I understand.
While I was listening to the story in silence, Stella continued.

“Do you know why I’m upset?”

Pretending not to know is not the answer here.
You shouldn’t show your opportunistic side now.

“Is it because of device energy?”

“Right. What did you say so much I wonder if he has an awareness as a beast slayer… He’s right, but there’s something unfair about him. Did I know the device could be charged that way…”

I’ve benefited from that a lot.
So I can’t sympathize with you?
I want to be excited and dance, no complaints at all.

“Do you think Aither is forcing you to recharge?”

“It is not. It’s not that I regret the transformation… I have the same intention of working hard. I’m just saying that I have this kind of regret.”

Now is the time to obsess over charging.
But when you start to taste it, your worries will disappear, so let’s be patient until then, my little doo.

“Brother.”

“Yes.”

“Now what should I do? Should I ask Lee Se-hwa?”

I reached out my hand without saying a word.
Hands clasped tightly on top of his chest, my hands overlapped on top of them.
In this state, I tapped slowly in a steady rhythm as if putting a child to sleep, and Stella’s head turned in a direction I couldn’t see.
She yawned like that and looked up at me again.

“Answer me. What should I do?”

You know the answer.
Then why are you asking?
I carefully covered Stella’s small face with both hands.
Then he bent her fingers and gently tickled her immaculate skin.

Cheeks, chin, and neck.
Every time I touched Stella’s legs moved as if tossing and turning her bed.
Looking at the socks protruding from the futon, the ends of her hair are slightly curled up.
Her face was as red as it was yesterday.

Stopping her hand here, Stella said in a crawling voice.

“…. Continue…”

“Until when?”

“I… Until I sleep… I like how you do this…”

You mustered up the courage. Good job
Yes, you can become addicted to it like that.
I answered with a soft smile as I looked down at Stella.

“Okay.”
