Got Dumped and Became a Nerf Ability User

I responded vaguely to Eunbyul noona’s KakaoTalk message, as she seemed to be probing my situation.

What’s important now isn’t that.

As a human, I couldn’t just stand by in this scene.

‘How many more times will I see such a scene…’

【Don’t look! You pervert, only thinking dirty thoughts in your head.】

‘I didn’t want to hear that from you…’

While Chaewon and I were having a non-verbal argument, Harin had finally loosened her tie and thrown it far away.

I wasn’t sure if Harin’s clothes were a dress or a dress shirt, but there were no buttons.

I thought they would definitely have buttons since they looked like a dress shirt combined with something else.

I assumed the buttons were simply covered by her tie since they weren’t showing.

But now, seeing her upper body after she threw away the tie, mm.

It seemed that my gaze was not scanning for buttons.

I was already too distracted by admiring it to even care if there were buttons or not.

No, that’s not what’s important…

What should I do about this white-haired woman who looks like she’s deeply asleep yet is pretending to be?

Should I just let her sleep over at my house as is?

【Hey, that woman…】

Huh?

‘Looks like she’s pretending to be asleep…?’

No way.

【Pretending to be asleep?】

‘Pretending to be asleep?’

【Hmph, who’s calling who a fox-like woman? She’s overstepping…】

What’s she talking about again?

Chaewon muttered something incomprehensible.

【Ugh… Seriously! It’s driving me crazy!】

‘Why, what’s it to you?’

【Oh, nothing… it’s nothing.】

At this point, trying to understand Chaewon seems like a waste of time.

Anyway, the real problem is what to do about this woman who’s pretending to be asleep.

‘Why is this so suddenly awkward.’

【Hmph! She’s practically advertising to be taken. She’s really doing everything.】

‘What?’

【Don’t you get it yet? That woman is currently making a sexual appeal to you.】

‘What?’

I couldn’t figure out if Chaewon was pleased that I wasn’t making a sexual advance or if she was frustrated.

She was maintaining her own form of poker face.

【Why do you keep acting dumb? … I don’t care, just do it quickly or kick her out.】

‘Well, suddenly telling me to do it feels a bit sudden.’

【If she’s pretending to sleep and throwing parts of her clothes off, isn’t she basically half giving consent? If that woman was someone who’d accuse you of rape, she would have left a long time ago!】

Is that so?

However, I had already thought about it thoroughly.

And I know.

If I get involved with her physically under the notion that it’s just a one-night stand, our relationship will definitely not last long.

So I will never fall for this temptation.

“Harin, wake up. I know everything.”

Harin flinched upon hearing my words.

【… What’s good about such a drug addict, ugh.】

Chaewon’s skin had turned pink, and she seemed a bit flustered.

I leaned over and lightly poked Harin, who was pretending to sleep steadfastly.

“Ugh… Really, you have no mood, no awareness, no consideration… Anyway! If you have any thoughts, isn’t it the right time to act on them now?”

At that, Harin gave me what seemed to be a refined insult, feigning that she was still asleep.

Her face was incredibly close to mine.

With two people on a narrow single mattress, it’s a bit… well, the atmosphere.

By the way, it’s actually the first time I’ve heard her speak like this.

‘This kind of comeback is a bit new.’

【What’s new about it? What’s with that reaction? Did you like this kind of thing? If you did, you should have said so earlier. I’d be ready to do it for the rest of my life right now!】

“You often get told you lack awareness, don’t you?”

“No, not really…”

Harin smirked as if she found it hard to believe.

“That’s absurd.”

【Yes! At this moment, that woman’s words are right. You can’t even pick up on something you can’t handle!】

‘Be quiet.’

Isn’t it better to say that I’m cautious rather than lacking awareness?

Having a sexual scandal attached to a man isn’t good.

If things go wrong, you can ruin your life in one go.

You can’t escape the abyss.

‘What do you know.’

【I know more than you. Haven’t you heard? In this area, I’m an “expert”?】

‘As if all experts in this world died? If dying while giving birth is an expert level, then I could call myself an expert too.’

【Hey! Bringing that up is sneaky… That’s mean.】

‘That’s gross.’

“Ha… Fine, I guess I’ll have to live here from today on.”

“Ah… yeah? You have your own house. It’s even more comfortable and better than here, right?”

“I acted like a rebellious teenage girl, running away in a fit of anger… I have nowhere to go, so please let me stay here for a bit.”

This isn’t even my house, either.

In fact, I technically borrowed it from Eunbyul noona, so it feels like I should get permission.

If there’s no CCTV, can I live here secretly?

No, let’s keep calm.

This is practically a proposal for cohabitation.

I need to think it over carefully.

“… Anyway, you have to go back to get your personal items like underwear, right? Then why don’t you just return to your house—”

“I can just buy those things if I need them. Money is overflowing anyway.”

Harin was taking off her white stockings, or maybe they were leggings? I guess calling them stockings is more accurate.

Anyway, she rolled them up and neatly placed them under the mattress, rubbing her bare legs excitedly under the blanket.

“Then I can live here, right?”

“… Do as you please. But do you know how to get here?”

“Yes, of course I know that much… No, I don’t. I’ll just stay home like your pet. When you go out, I’ll just go out with you when I want.”

– Grumble.

I heard a strange sound coming from somewhere.

“… By the way, aren’t you hungry? What should we eat…”

It seemed Harin had used a lot of energy treating me earlier.

Did she close her eyes for a moment because she was dizzy from bleeding earlier, or was she truly exhausted?

If that’s the case, not being tempted by her body might be the more considerate action.

After all, she also stuttered when saying “consideration.”

Or not.

“Yeah… it’s cold outside, should we just order in?”

“Order in?”

“Yeah, delivery. Haven’t you ever ordered before?”

“You know no one can come up to the 51st floor but me.”

Harin said, crossing her arms.

“So… should we eat… eel?”

【Tch, she’s doing the fox thing herself!】

“Your intentions are corrupt, I reject that.”

After hearing my words, Harin smiled slyly.

She looked like someone who had just seized an opportunity.

“Hehehe… I just really like eel dishes, that’s all… Oh dear, you aren’t having any strange thoughts, are you?”

“Huh?”

“Perhaps… eating eel and then getting into this kind of position with me, and then… oh my, haah… please don’t be so forward.”

The content of her words subtly led me to think lewd thoughts.

What a terrifying way with words.

“Ah, no, I’m not imagining that much—”

“Even if eel is a food that helps stamina and enhances virility… we can eat it just because it tastes good, right? Like grilled eel or something.”

Harin had become brazen.

‘I thought she was a modest woman.’

【What’s modest? All women are foxes!… Except for me.】

“H-Harin.”

“Yes. I’m Harin. We’re eating eel, right?”

Harin smiled sweetly, resembling a benevolent saint in a fantasy world.

But in reality, isn’t she just a female driven by desire?

If not, whatever.

“Were you always this proactive?”

“Huh? I don’t understand what you’re saying. You still do not comprehend my actions?”

I pulled my head back slightly after listening to her.

“I don’t know what you mean.”

“I’ve heard that some people don’t show their true selves in front of someone they like.”

Harin relaxed her arms.

“But my situation is a bit different.”

Then Harin placed her left hand atop her chest.

“I’m someone who has shown everything I shouldn’t to the one I like, so my situation feels ambiguous.”

She then puffed air into her cheeks and glared at me.

When she said she was glaring without eyes, it just felt like her face was looking at me.

Then she grabbed my hand with her right hand and placed my hand on top of her left hand.

The problem is that her left hand was already resting on her chest, putting me in a position as if I were trying to touch her chest.

【T-This fox!】

– Thump. – Thump.

I wasn’t directly touching her chest, but I could feel her heartbeat through her left hand.

Or maybe her pulse was quickening, one of the two.

“H-Harin.”

“… You thought I wouldn’t change my attitude after we rubbed against each other naked? Did you think I wouldn’t change?”

‘What…’

【Aah! I imagined that scene again…】

No, I didn’t do that!

I don’t remember it.

If only there was a memory of that, I wouldn’t feel so unjust!

“So? It looks like you have no choice but to take responsibility for me.”

“I thought I didn’t act on my own will…?…”

“Then let’s eat eel, shall we?”

So, I had no choice but to order eel dishes.
