Chapter 1

“Ugh……, Suhyeok…….”

In-ah, her face flushed deep red, gently pushed against the chest of the man whose lips seemed intent on swallowing her whole.

“Why? Is it too much?”

Suhyeok, apparently tireless, looked up at In-ah panting above him, the corners of his lips curling upward.

“It’s not that…….”

In-ah trailed off, averting her gaze. His kisses, as if intent on stealing all her breath, were certainly overwhelming from her perspective.

But the real reason her mind was spinning wasn’t just that.

[Ah, In-ah’s lips feel so good.]

[Softer tongue than I expected.]

[I wonder how sweet she must be below.]

It was Suhyeok’s unabashed inner thoughts, echoing constantly in her head.

“I’m glad. As long as it’s not too much.”

Suhyeok smiled softly, gently stroking her swollen lips. The pure smile didn’t match his lewd inner voice at all.

Usually expressionless, Suhyeok would sometimes smile brightly like this. Whenever she saw his smile, In-ah could only blush, unable to answer.

As she turned her head for a moment, Suhyeok’s face lowered. When he spread her soft thighs wide, In-ah’s eyes shot open.

“Suhyeok……!”

Startled, In-ah tried to sit up. Her bare lower half was exposed right in front of his eyes. With her face burning, she reached out toward Suhyeok.

But Suhyeok caught her hand, lowered it, and pressed his lips to her swelling flesh. Then, as if sucking, he drew her in hard.

“Ahh……!”

A pleasure she’d never felt before surged up her back and all the way to her head. Then, once again, his inner voice sounded.

[Ha……, this is crazy. So sweet.]

[In-ah tastes good here too.]

‘Suhyeok. Please, stop with those fantasies…….’

Only she could hear Suhyeok’s inner thoughts, and they scrambled In-ah’s mind.

She suddenly thought back—

How did she end up here with her childhood crush?

* * *

In-ah hadn’t always been able to hear her childhood friend Suhyeok’s inner voice.

It started exactly two weeks ago, the day they went hiking together for a liberal arts assignment.

That day, not having proper hiking clothes, In-ah wore leggings and a windbreaker up the mountain. As soon as Suhyeok saw her outfit, he frowned.

“Why……? Do I look weird?”

Stammering, In-ah blinked. He rarely showed emotion, so his furrowed brow felt intimidating.

“……No.”

But Suhyeok left it at that, walking ahead of her. After that, he just kept walking, eyes forward.

Even when she asked if he was upset, he said no. But occasionally, Suhyeok would look back and glare fiercely at the men following her.

Those men, intimidated by his physique and aura, quietly left. Soon, no one was left behind her.

‘……Is there something he doesn’t like?’

By then, struggling up the slope, In-ah couldn’t help but keep watching Suhyeok’s reactions.

‘Did I do something wrong? Or did something happen to Suhyeok today?’

She kept pondering as she watched his silent back.

But her worries stopped once they reached the mountainside. The steep path left her too breathless to care about anything else.

“Huff……, huff…….”

She dragged her heavy body, gasping for air.

When she was nearly out of breath, a welcome spring appeared.

“Let’s rest for a bit.”

Spotting the spring, Suhyeok supported her shoulder and sat her down on a nearby bench.

The warmth where he touched her shoulder made In-ah flinch. She absently touched her shoulder, feeling the lingering heat.

Meanwhile, Suhyeok filled a stainless steel cup with spring water and brought it to her.

“Here, drink.”

“Thank you.”

In-ah was moved by his casual kindness, secretly holding back tears.

She looked up at Suhyeok. He was so tall she had to tilt her head way back. Even his sweat-soaked face from the hike looked fresh, like dew on a leaf.

Suhyeok, with his sturdy body, also had striking features. His high nose and lips beneath thick eyebrows were so perfect, she’d often found herself staring at him.

‘If he’s going to be handsome, he shouldn’t be so kind.’

It just makes her hope for more.

She suppressed her useless longing and drank the water he gave her.

She knew well that Suhyeok hadn’t done anything wrong. If there was a fault, it was hers for letting her heart flutter and hope for more.

Even though she’d known him since kindergarten, In-ah never understood Suhyeok’s feelings. He was always expressionless and spoke little.

Sometimes, his rare kindness gave her hope, but he’d never shown anything beyond being a ‘good friend.’

If she confessed, she wouldn’t even be able to stay friends with him.

Whenever her feelings threatened to spill out, In-ah reminded herself of that.

From the time she first liked Suhyeok in middle school until now, their last year in college, she’d managed to keep her growing feelings hidden.

Still……

Unspoken feelings always left her aching.

‘If only… If only I could know Suhyeok’s feelings, even just once, how wonderful would that be.’

In-ah gripped the cup tightly. She was tired of suffering alone with her one-sided love.

“Why are you like that?”

When she sat there clutching the cup with a dark look, Suhyeok suddenly leaned in. The sudden appearance of his handsome face made her shoulders tremble.

“It’s nothing, really. Suhyeok, you need to drink too. I’ll get it for you!”

She forced a smile, struggling to calm herself. She hurried to the spring to wash the cup and fill it with fresh water.

Glancing up, she noticed a sign at the spring.

★Miraculous Water That Grants Wishes★

‘Do places like this still exist?’

There were even slips of paper provided for writing wishes.

She laughed at the many wish notes stuck to the wall. The wishes of strangers weren’t much different from her own.

‘I wonder if anyone’s wish here came true.’

Of course, someone’s must have. She hoped at least no one else was suffering, unable to confess like her.

She handed the water to Suhyeok.

“Thank you.”

As Suhyeok drank, his Adam’s apple moved gently. In-ah found herself staring, then met his eyes as he wiped his mouth.

That was when—

[She’s already pretty, but she keeps acting cute.]

[Leggings, ha…….]

[Too s*xy, only I should see her…….]

Suhyeok’s voice echoed inside In-ah’s head.

“Huh?”

She widened her eyes in disbelief.

‘What was that? Did I just hear something impossible?’

Her large eyes shook with confusion.

“What’s wrong?”

Suhyeok asked, responding to her muttering.

“Did you just say something to me?”

“No, I didn’t say anything.”

Looking at his innocent face, In-ah calmed her pounding heart.

Right. There’s no way Kang Suhyeok would say something so strange to her.

She must have misheard, having loved him for so long.

But contrary to her hopes, after that day, In-ah kept hearing strange voices whenever she was with Suhyeok.

And they were always lewd words in his voice.

* * *

[I want to pull her into my arms.]

[If I bury my nose in her neck, I bet she smells sweet.]

[In-ah’s chest is big, but her body is so delicate.]

When she heard that in the lecture hall, In-ah was so startled she turned to look at Suhyeok.

But Suhyeok, sitting beside her, was just quietly taking notes, his face unchanged. He didn’t seem like someone who’d think such things.

‘What is going on? Am I just exhausted from job hunting?’

She sighed softly, watching Suhyeok’s calm face, thinking it was all her imagination.

But the voices didn’t stop after a few times. Even as days passed, they kept coming.

Worse, they grew more expl*cit over time—far beyond what In-ah could handle.

[Could she take me with that body?]

[Her mouth is so small. If I put it in, it would fill it completely, right?]

[She must be so tight below. What if it’s too much for her?]

[…Ha, Seo In-ah, why is she so pretty today? Makes me want her right now.]

[If I grab her legs and lift her, and just go in……]

And just now, when she heard a whisper that only lovers would exchange, In-ah finally started doubting her own sanity.

Unable to bear it, she tore her eyes from the laptop screen and looked up.

With wide eyes, she met Suhyeok’s gaze, sitting across from her.

Maybe because they were alone in his studio, the voice in her head was louder than usual.

“Is the assignment not going well?”

Suhyeok asked in a flat voice, his expression as clueless as ever.

[If she keeps looking at me so cutely, what does she expect? Makes me want to undress her right now.]

‘Why do I keep hearing these strange things?’

In-ah nervously clicked her pen, avoiding his gaze.
