Chapter 40 – I Should Have Been Your Girlfriend
*
Nakamori Yuuna had been sprawled on the sofa ever since she got home.
It was because of the sense of loss from having her beloved Sanghyuk “stolen” by a friend.
‘Stolen?’
Can you say you’ve been robbed of something you never had in the first place?
So, she knows it’s right to congratulate Hena on dating Sanghyuk, and to step back….
“Waaah….”
People’s hearts don’t work the way they want them to.
Yuuna was soaking her pillowcase with tears of loss.
She recalls the memories from the day they cleared the 「Golden Orc Fortress」, in the shower room.
………
“Hena, your boobs are really amazing…♡”
“U-Ung…. Yuuna is… very pretty too….”
“Can I touch them?”
This was before she knew Hena would become Sanghyuk’s girl.
She had touched Hena’s breasts and was deeply impressed.
So soft……. Even I, a girl, want to bury myself here, what about a guy?
No way he can resist this!
“It’s incredible….”
“Ah…. Ugh…. Don’t touch them too hard.”
“Ah, sorry.”
Yet, the reason she naively thought Kim Sanghyuk wouldn’t choose his childhood friend was because she was Sanghyuk’s childhood friend.
No matter how explosive a childhood friend’s body is, if they’re ‘too familiar,’ they can’t shake a man’s heart…… or so Yuuna thought.
She was deluding herself into thinking that she, a ‘new girl,’ was in an easier position to gain his favor.
Still, Hena was a clear 「rival.」
She needed to test the waters.
Waiting for them to be alone while showering, she suddenly asks.
“Hena. Do you like Sanghyuk?”
“…Uh-huh, I like him a lot.”
Hena’s cheeks turn red.
Hena fidgets, not knowing what to do.
“Have you ever… confessed?”
Shake, shake.
Hena shakes her head.
According to her, she’s never confessed even though she has feelings for him.
“Why?”
“Because I’m overwhelmed just being friends.”
“How can you be overwhelmed just being friends! If you like someone, you should date them. Fortune favors the bold!”
“What if… what if we can’t even be friends anymore….”
Yuuna also found it difficult to confess, fearing that even the current relationship would collapse.
She made it obvious, and the atmosphere was good, but it didn’t quite feel like a ‘some’ [a Korean term for the ambiguous stage before a relationship] relationship.
“I can’t bring myself to say it either….”
“I see….”
“This is a big problem. Half the female students probably like Sanghyuk, right?”
“……Ugh.”
“Kim Sanghyuk is going to make a lot of female friends in the future, don’t you think?”
“Stop talking like that~ I liked him first……”
The moment she confirmed that they felt the same way, Yuuna wondered if she could form an alliance with Hena.
“Still, it’s true that we’re the closest to being girlfriend candidates.”
“Girlfriend candidates…?”
“Yeah! Are you just going to wait? Then, Sanghyuk might get snatched away by someone else.”
“You know, Yuuna. If we become girlfriends… what’s so good about it?”
Yuuna was speechless.
She had succeeded with a hunter-like approach of hunting and seizing what she wanted, but liking and dating a guy was a first for her, so she didn’t know what came after 「seizing.」
“You can go on dates together. If you date Hena, you might be able to watch anime at home every day.”
“Amazing…!”
Sparkle, sparkle. Hena’s eyes lit up.
“And… um……. Lots of… naughty things….”
Naughty things.
It was an unknown world for Hena and Yuuna. Hena had some inkling.
‘That.’
The breast training she received on the first day.
That remained a memory of incredibly thrilling and happy ‘naughty things.’
‘……I want to be subjected to that kind of thing a little more. Am I a pervert? Me….’
“But only one of us can be his girlfriend.”
“Ugh…. I’m not confident.”
“At least the two of us can fend off other girls.”
“Fend off…? Sounds scary….”
“Are you okay with him being snatched away!?”
Shake, shake, shake.
Hena shook her head wildly.
“After fending them off, we… um… confess our feelings.”
“…Yuuna first……. I, I can’t….”
“……M-Me!?”
Yuuna was breathless.
Even though she could easily say they would fend off other girls, confessing first herself required considerable courage.
“I’m content with being a slightly naughty childhood friend….”
“There, there you go shrinking back again. And you’re not just a little naughty, okay?”
Soft.
Yuuna fondled Hena’s very naughty breasts.
“U-Ungh.”
“Then I’ll go first. First, I’ll build up intimacy.”
“Are you really going to do it…? Really?”
“Not right away! Just… when I see a chance.”
“……What’s a chance?”
“When it feels like ‘this is it’….”
Her heart aches.
What would he say if she told him she fell for him the first day they went to the dungeon together?
She doesn’t know, so it’s agonizing.
“If I fail, I might not be able to get up for a while….”
“Then, I’ll comfort you….”
“Really? You’ll comfort me with your big boobs?”
Yuuna chuckled at Hena’s flustered reaction.
A strange sense of solidarity arises just from the fact that they’re both crushing on the same guy.
It wouldn’t have been possible if they were the opposite gender.
If one person is targeted by many and has overwhelming value, it’s not easy to succeed in love.
No matter how friendly they pretend to be, the essence is competition.
Yuuna had been subtly looking down on Hena.
Deep down, she thought, ‘I have an advantage over the childhood friend’…….
It wasn’t because Yuuna’s personality was bad, but rather the result of an objective—at least to her—power analysis.
She never imagined she’d be completely robbed in just one day.
“We just decided to date.”
‘Huh?’
This isn’t right.
Yuuna crumbled when she saw Sanghyuk holding Hena’s hand tightly.
So, so affectionately…….
Yuuna, with her twisted heart, didn’t even remember what she said next.
She doesn’t know how she even attended classes.
‘Stolen. Stolen. Stolen.’
People’s hearts are so fickle,
after seeing how easily Hena seemed to get him, she couldn’t help but think she could have gotten him if she had confessed first.
‘You bad girl….’
You told me to confess first.
She knows there’s no such concept in ‘competition,’ but she couldn’t help but feel resentful.
‘Hmph……. Did you like those big boobs? Sanghyuk?’
Yuuna felt like crying.
‘Her butt is bigger than mine too…. My face is… prettier.’
However, she feels pathetic for only being able to have such twisted thoughts.
In the end, she also thinks that it’s right for the kind Hena to be by his side.
‘Ahhh~~~ I should have confessed… I wish I was his girlfriend…….’
If she had known it would be first come, first served….
‘These days, they say SNS [Social Networking Services] is for flirting and meetings are casual…… I never thought Sanghyuk would be that kind of person….’
No.
There’s no way someone as handsome as Kim Sanghyuk would date just anyone? He’s dating Hena because she’s good enough.
If he likes Hena’s type, I have no chance of winning. All the female students know how unbelievable Hena’s body is.
If you have that much fat on your chest and butt, you should look overall bloated, but.
Her waist is slender.
Her ankles and calves are also very pretty. A complete cheat code body.
Everything that should be out is out, while also looking slim, the complete form of the glamorous body that men want.
‘What am I thinking~~~.’
Maybe he saw Hena’s kind heart!!
Why do I keep thinking about her chest?
Is it because I can barely maintain my sanity by thinking that my crush was stolen by those big boobs, that physical attribute?
It would be better if the object of hatred was her big boobs.
But. If I think I lost as a woman, my heart feels like it’s being torn to shreds.
‘Sanghyuk. Say something~…….’
A silent cry in her heart that can’t be heard.
‘If I had confessed first, would you have accepted me?’
Sanghyuk, unaware of Yuuna’s feelings, was holding hands with Hena and having happy chats every break.
‘Ugh…….’
She wants to jump right in.
She wants to flip everything over.
She’s not the only one swept up in such desires.
The 2-F [second-year class F] group chat was also on fire.
– What’s up with them……
– They’re openly rubbing it in, damn it
– Ughhhhㅠㅠㅠ Sanghyuk has a girlfriendㅠㅠㅠughㅠㅠ
– I thought he was dating Yuuna?
‘I thought he was dating Yuuna?’
Yuuna wanted to curl up into a ball at that one line.
She, who everyone saw as having a high chance, was cut off by Sanghyuk.
‘Is it impossible for the three of us to be close now….’
She never imagined Hena would come on so aggressively….
Was it a 「chance」?
She can’t deny the possibility that Sanghyuk was grinning like an idiot and was captivated by her breasts.
It’s painful to see a couple being lovey-dovey,
but it’s even more painful when they’re not in front of her.
She’s worried about what they might be doing…… in a place she doesn’t know.
“……Right? Sanghyuk….”
Not on their first day of dating, something like that….
[Yuuna]
What’s everyone doing?
She regretted writing in the group chat.
She wrote it as if she was curious about everyone’s news, but it was obvious to everyone that Yuuna’s interest was in Kim Sanghyuk.
[Hena]
Watching anime at home
[Kim Sanghyuk]
Was caught by the student council president and just got released
“Ah. That’s a relief!”
They’re not together right now?
Yuuna felt very happy just knowing that.
[Kim Sanghyuk]
If I don’t fill this out, I’ll be expelled, damn it
[Yuuna]
Don’t worry! This older sister is here. I’ll help you from the side
Our squad hasn’t collapsed yet.
Yuuna can’t give up Sanghyuk’s side position, no matter what.
Even if he’s a taken man with a girlfriend…… if she sees an opportunity from the side….
“Agh!”
She shouldn’t be thinking like this.
Still, dark thoughts keep sprouting.
“I can’t stop liking him.”
I can’t give up on Sanghyuk after all.
She realizes now that her childhood friend was the most dangerous enemy.
‘…That gloomy boob girl…….’
Why did her attitude suddenly change when she had been crouching like a herbivore all this time?
She recalls Kim Sanghyuk’s confident appearance in front of the 「Devil Merchant.」
Did she suddenly not want to give him to someone else because he’s good at what he does? Hena?
‘I liked him before that incident!’
Okay. It’s an attack.
She’s going to steal Sanghyuk from Hena with fatal seduction!
For example…….
「Hey, Kim Sanghyuk. Did you know I liked you? Hmph.」
「Gasp…!! If I had known, I wouldn’t have dated someone like Hena!」
“Kyaaaa!”
Yuuna couldn’t bear her own childish fantasy and threw a pillow, thrashing wildly.
That’s about the extent of a virgin’s seduction.
Seriously thinking about it,
‘How can I hit on a guy who already has a girlfriend!! He’ll think I’m a slut with a light ass!’
From a girl’s perspective, this is a checkmate.
She can’t make a move first unless the guy gives her an opening.
She really wants to steal him in an unlimited duel, but in the process, she’ll earn the guy’s hatred?
That’s completely putting the cart before the horse.
The only option is to flirt cleverly,
but that kind of foxy behavior doesn’t suit Yuuna at all.
‘Should I think about it while going to the dungeon together…….’
But his girlfriend will be there too anyway.
‘Wait.’
Yuuna, who remembered something, hurriedly opened her calendar.
Today is Friday.
Tomorrow is the weekend. The academy is closed.
And…… on the weekend…….
– 「Roughly Another World Pure Love Story」? [A popular anime series]
– It’s a super popular series. AnimeF’s #1 of the year! If you haven’t seen it yet, you definitely have to watch it!
Kim Sanghyuk is going on a date at Hena’s house!!
“Agh!! No way, Sanghyukaaaa!”
Yuuna threw the innocent bear-shaped pillow one more time.
“You can’t fall for that boob girl’s clutches!”
Where was this planned from?
That gloomy girl…… sob…!!
What will happen between couples on the weekend? Maybe even sex……?!!
“No, no. Sanghyuk wouldn’t do that to someone he’s only been dating for a short time!”
What if Hena seduces him with her breasts?
“Ugh……. Ughhhhh……. Waaah….”
In the end, Yuuna was soaking her pillowcase again.
