Where Every Story Blooms

    I hunched over and dropped my head. I desperately pushed down whatever was trying to burst out from inside.

    Damn it, this shouldn’t be happening now.

    Since both Joo Do-hwa and Lee Yuna were special types, they must have sensed the pheromones the man released. If I showed this kind of reaction now, it would definitely seem suspicious.

    Determined not to be discovered, I clenched my molars and squeezed my eyes shut. I covered my nose with the hand that had been covering my mouth and held my breath.

    Fortunately, or unfortunately, the pain gradually began to subside after a while. The sensation of my solar plexus twisting also slowly dulled.

    “Ha…”

    Only then did I release the breath that had been caught in my throat. The brief moment had been so painful that my nape was completely soaked in cold sweat. My body temperature had dropped, leaving me shivering from head to toe.

    I needed to get out of here as quickly as possible. I felt I needed to go somewhere, where there were fewer people around, at least.

    “M-My stomach hurts so much…”

    So I hurriedly got off the sunbed while saying those words. I couldn’t show such an unsightly appearance here, regardless of the annoying situation.

    “Whoa, careful…!”

    This time Lee Yuna caught my severely stumbling body. Though she was practically embracing me, unlike before, I felt no aversion toward her. Thanks to her not giving off any pheromones and her slight build not feeling threatening, I felt safe around her.

    “…Are you okay? Your stomach hurts?”

    Lee Yuna carefully checked my condition while awkwardly supporting me. She must have been quite flustered, as her affected politeness completely disappeared and there was only concern for me.

    I wanted to say I was fine, but I could only pant heavily while gripping Lee Yuna’s arms. As I stood there leaning my whole body on her for a moment, I heard a quiet sigh from behind.

    “Ah…”

    I didn’t have the presence of mind to realize whose it was. I just trembled with the feeling that I might die like this. Though I tried to speak somehow, all I could manage was barely this much.

    “To the room…”

    I couldn’t even finish the words I’d barely managed to get out. The consciousness I’d desperately held onto quickly faded away. And then, everything turned into pitch-blackness.

    ***

    I could hear constant murmuring voices. My limp body wouldn’t respond, and I felt myself floating up and shaking wildly as if caught in waves. It felt like my consciousness was suspended somewhere between being completely unconscious and awake.

    Though it felt like an eternity had gone by, in reality, it was probably less than 10 minutes. Just the distance from the pool to the mansion. Just the time it took to move from the party crowd to a quiet place.

    I barely managed to open my eyes thanks to someone laying me on a bed. Actually, my consciousness started returning as soon as my head hit the pillow, perhaps because my blood pressure had dropped. As I was trying to lift my heavy eyelids, I heard a quiet voice near my ear.

    “Henry, go call a doctor.”

    “…”

    I instinctively grabbed someone nearby. When I gripped the firm arm, I could feel a throbbing pulse. I was so out of it that I couldn’t tell if it was mine or theirs.

    “…No.”

    “…”

    “Don’t call.”

    I’m not sure if my whispered voice got through properly. The other person didn’t say anything and just silently looked down at me.

    “Don’t want…shots…”

    Even in my hazy consciousness, that thought occurred to me. If a doctor came now, if they took blood samples, it would be extremely troublesome. I just wanted to lock myself in an empty room alone for exactly three days.

    “So just…”

    Suddenly, drowsiness washed over me as if all my strength had drained away. No matter how hard I tried to stay conscious, I couldn’t stop my body from going limp. The hand that had been gripping the arm slipped down and finally dropped onto the bed.

    “…I’m going to sleep for a bit.”

    That was the end of the memory. Unable to resist the onslaught, I fell into a deep sleep for once.  Just before I drifted off, I thought I caught a whiff of a sweet scent.

    ***

    When I opened my eyes again, I was the only one in the room. I gingerly lifted my eyelids and blinked lazily at the unfamiliar ceiling. Where am I? As I pondered this, my mind raced back to the events that had occurred just before I fell asleep.

    “…!”

    I jumped up, startled, and immediately checked my forearms, left and right, but luckily there was no sign of anything. There wasn’t even a tiny needle mark on my skin, let alone where the band had been placed.

    I fumbled with my arms and shoulders, then quickly pulled off the covers and checked my clothes. Every single button was fastened, indicating that no one had touched me while I was passed out.

    “Hah….”

    A sigh of relief escaped me. Once the tension was gone, I was able to take in my surroundings. The bed I was lying on, the couch and table in the middle of the room, and the slightly open door.

    “…”

    The parlor.

    I’d heard that the ground floor of the mansion was kept open for party guests during pool parties, to allow them to change clothes or take a quick break, but with a couch and bed, it was obvious how it would be used after the party was over. My room was on the third floor, so I wondered if they had brought me here in a hurry.

    More than that, Joo Do-hwa were…

    I looked around with a clearer head, but I was the only one in the room, and even if I listened carefully, the only noise I could hear was coming from outside the window.

    It must have been Joo Do-hwa who brought me here, but he must have left for a while. Maybe he went back to the pool to fulfill his role as host.

    “…I feel fine now.”

    I woke up feeling strangely refreshed, probably from a good night’s sleep. I didn’t feel sick to my stomach or like my nerves were on edge. But I felt a little hot, so I fluttered the hem of my robe and glanced over to the side of the bed out of habit.

    As expected, there was a glass of water on the bedside table, presumably brought by Joo Do-hwa. It was similar to what was always prepared when I woke up with a cold before. So, I naturally took the glass of water and gulped it down, but a chill ran down my neck for a moment.

    “…?”

    Slowly, I turned my head toward the door. An unpleasant sensation crawled up my spine, like an insect crawling.

    Come to think of it, why is the door open?

    As I thought this, my gaze met the open doorway.

    “…”

    “…”

    I could see a pair of eyes peering in through the crack. I couldn’t make out the face, but I knew it was watching me. Just as my lips curled up at the embarrassing sight, the open door slammed shut.

    “…What?”

    I scrambled to my feet, but I couldn’t run after him. My heart raced. My stomach felt like it was being punched in the gut, and I felt a rush of heat. The glass of water tumbled to the carpet, and my upper body went limp.

    “Hah……!”

    It didn’t even compare to what I’d felt before falling asleep. The sudden surge of heat scalded my body and numbed my mind. I felt something explode in my stomach, and at the same time, my bottom slowly began to bleed.

    “Uh…”

    Fuck, I hadn’t even gotten the words out. I could feel myself slowly getting wetter down there without even touching myself. My fully erect penis throbbed like it was about to burst, and my lower stomach convulsed.

    “…hu, ugh.”

    I didn’t even have time to think about it. The heightened sensation was more like pain than pleasure. My whole body was shaking, and my blood seemed to be reaching a boiling point.

    I crouched down but to no avail. I crossed my thighs and wiggled my toes. I squirmed back and forth, soaking wet, as if I had peed myself.

    I’m going to die, that’s what I thought. In frustration, I tugged at the collar of my shirt, only to have the buttons fall off. I huddled under the covers and rubbed my lower body, but was unable to do anything about the heat that was beginning to build there.

    “Hmph, ugh…”

    I grabbed my bottom over my pants. I was so hot I felt like I needed to expel everything.

    My swollen penis, threatening to burst, ejaculated quickly with a few rubs. But I still didn’t feel relieved, and now I was dripping with menstrual tears.

    “Fuck…”

    I didn’t know how to deal with this raging libido. I had done it for others, but I had never done it for myself, so the best I could do was fiddle with it.

    But playing with myself without knowing what or how to do it didn’t solve the underlying need by much.

    “…Ha, ha, ha.”

    The agony continued for quite some time. I wished, wished, wished that someone would come.

    I didn’t know how long it went on like that.After a while, it felt like my brain was melting from the overwhelming heat. I reached down into my pants and rubbed myself hard.

    “Hmm….”

    I heard the sound of a doorknob turning. It was the tiniest sound, and I didn’t know why it stuck out to me. I lifted my head, hanging there limply, and saw the door slowly open.

    And someone stepped inside with a narrowed brow.

    “…”

    “…”

    Time seemed to stand still. The tears that had formed in the corners of my eyes fell away and onto the bed. It didn’t matter that I was disfigured, or that the other man had a rare blank look on his face.

    All that mattered was that he was the only one who could make this pain go away.

    “…Do-hwa.”
