Heroine Netori-Chapter 56

Early in the morning, in a cramped one-room apartment, Lee Hyun-ah exhaled heavily. The bed she lay in was soaked with sweat, and used tissues were strewn around her.

"Haah... Haah..."

Despite having finished masturbating, she couldn't bring herself to get up from the lingering sensation. Instead, she stroked her vagina again, soothing her loneliness.

"Huuuh..."

As her finger touched her clitoris, desire surged once more. The dream she had that night made her body heat up.

"It shouldn't be..."

A reliable and dependable colleague, A colleague who had never disappointed her, A colleague who always trusted her, A colleague who had become almost like family.

It was a dream where he raped her.

He had overpowered her as she resisted, saying she had a boyfriend, stripped her, and then took her virginity as he pulled out his penis. Then, as she cried out in pain, he laughed at her and relentlessly thrust, eventually ejaculating inside her.

"...Is it too dramatized?"

In reality, it wasn't that severe. It could hardly be called rape. Although he was forceful, she had allowed him. Moreover, far from being painful... despite being a virgin, it felt incredibly good. Much more than when she masturbated.

"Aahh... Mister..."

Each time his hot, thick penis penetrated her tight virgin pussy, she experienced an unprecedented pleasure that penetrated deep into her brain. Her pupils dilated naturally, and she drooled with her mouth open. All she could do at that moment was make lewd noises.

But he showed no consideration for her at all. Instead, he thrust his penis so violently it felt like her cervix could be punctured, and she found it hard even to breathe under his assault.

"Haah... Haa..."

Yet, she enjoyed that too. The way he was madly attached to her body, The way he shook his hips like a dog in heat, the way he ejaculated inside her, She liked all of it.

"Haaaah!"

She felt satisfied with his obsession with her.

...Even though it was just a dream.

"I must be crazy..."

"I liked that he depended on me, but not to this extent..."

After finishing masturbating for the last time, she sighed deeply and got up. Then, ignoring the fluid running down her thighs, she headed to the bathroom. She planned to take a shower to regain her scattered senses.

"Mister..."

However, Lee Hyun-ah found herself recalling the scenes from the dream once more, And her hand reached down to her vagina again.

****

After finishing her shower, her mind cleared. Whether the dream felt good or not, it was just a dream. It wasn't something to be concerned about. She decided to chalk it up to frustration due to sexual dissatisfaction. Besides, she had a boyfriend. Dwelling on it too long wouldn't be respectful to him. Even if they were currently in a cold war.

[Minwoo♥: Are you awake, Hyun-ah?]

Was it because she was thinking of her boyfriend? When she dried her hair, there was a message from Minwoo. They hadn't communicated since their big fight a few days ago, but it seemed he couldn't stand it and texted first.

"Hmph! Can't live without me, huh?"

Feeling triumphant, Lee Hyun-ah was about to smile broadly and reply to the message. But his following messages wiped the smile off her face.

[Minwoo♥: I’ve been thinking nonstop, couldn’t even sleep...]

[Minwoo♥: Just come down here.]

[Minwoo♥: A hunter department is being set up at our company.]

[Minwoo♥: Quit being a hunter and work here.]

[Minwoo♥: My dad agreed too.]

She was furious. She boiled with anger. She hated her boyfriend, who still couldn’t understand her feelings. She hated his unilateral announcements. His attitude, treating her as if she were his possession, disgusted her.

What she wanted was supportive encouragement, not realistic advice. And realistically, she believed she could continue her life as a hunter. Everything had been going smoothly since they were together.

But her boyfriend didn’t trust her. He judged without seeing and pressured her to give up. The affectionate demeanor she had loved was long gone.

"So annoying..."

With a displeased expression, she called him. She wanted to yell at him right away.

But then,

[Hyun-ah, I can’t talk right n... [Oppa! Oh, sorry, are you on the call?]]

[...]

[Sorry, I’ll call you back in a bit.]

“What?”

The call ended abruptly after a strange woman's voice came through.

With a familiarity in the voice and the use of 'Oppa'... It was too early for him to be at work... A dreadful two-word term sprang to mind.

Her hands trembled as she held the phone, tears dripping down onto the screen.

“I... that bastard... I trusted him this time... Sob.”

Memories of a terrible past resurfaced. She felt abandoned again. She thought their relationship had strengthened after weathering a storm, but it seemed she was alone in that belief.

He called again, but she didn't answer. She ignored his texts too. Endless messages from him came, but she continued to ignore them all, afraid of confronting a terrible truth.

[Minwoo♥: Hyun-ah, you’re misunderstanding, please pick up the phone] [Minwoo♥: It’s just a work colleague, okay? I’m at the office right now] [Minwoo♥: It’s really not what you think] [Minwoo♥: You trust me, right?]

She couldn’t trust him. Perhaps she would have, had he been his usual self, but recently he had been steadily losing her trust. Then this incident happened. Naturally, doubt led to greater suspicion, which eventually turned into certainty.

“Cold towards me all of a sudden...” “And the way he’s been talking to me without any respect lately...” “Was he struggling to break it off?” “Telling me to come down was just to say it to my face...” “Now it all makes sense. That bastard... you, you bastard! Sob...”

Her once settled mind was again in disarray. Her mental state shattered, and she couldn't bear it anymore.

Eventually, she blocked him. Even seeing his messages became too much to handle.

Staggering to her bed, she collapsed onto the damp sheets. The area reeked of a foul and unpleasant smell.

Yet, strangely, she didn’t dislike the smell. It naturally made her think of him. The man from her dreams who had overwhelmed her.

“Mister...”

She longed for healing. She desired the peace in her heart to be restored. For that, his presence was necessary.

[Ahjussi! Thanks for yesterday!] [(Emoji of a cat bowing)]

Her hands trembled as she forced each character into the message. She faked brightness, not wanting her torment to be discovered.

[The hangover soup was awesome!] [(Photo of an empty pot)]

She lied about eating the food. It was wasteful, but she felt too nauseous to eat. Apologizing internally, she dumped it down the sink and took a photo.

[Thanks to you, I’m totally recovered!] [(Emoji of a cat saluting)]

Far from recovered, she was only in pain. For real healing, she needed him. His praise and gratitude, his dependence on her, were the only remedies for her.

But... No matter how long she waited, no reply came. There was no healing meant for her. The longer she waited, the more tortured she felt.

Trying to keep the conversation going proved futile. The message indicator with a 1 next to it did not disappear.

“Does he dislike me? Was he just pretending to be close because he had to?”

Bad thoughts surfaced. Normally, she would have laughed them off as nonsense, but now, she couldn’t deny them. Her self-esteem began to crumble bit by bit.

“Ah! He read it!”

Just then, the situation changed. He had read her message. Hopeful fantasies ensued.

“Ha, haha... No way Mister would hate me!”

But those fantasies quickly shattered. He saw her messages but did not respond. It was something that had never happened before.

Her mind, already fragile, took even small things seriously. She couldn’t entertain the possibility that it could be normal.

Instead, she ended up believing he was also tired of her.

“Lies! That’s not it...! Did I make a mistake? Idiot! What did I do? Oh, please... don’t do this. Mister, please!”

She sobbed out loud. But he couldn’t hear her, and there still was no response.

“Again! I have to change his mind! Make him, make him, make him think of me only! What should I do? Buy him a meal?! Somewhere expensive... What does Mister like?”

She continued sending messages like throwing a tantrum, but he continued to ignore her. A hollow laugh escaped her. She felt utterly miserable. It felt like she had plummeted into hell overnight.

Finally giving up, she turned off her phone and buried herself under the covers. Going out into the world was too frightening.

-Zing

But then, a lifeline of hope reached her.

[Sorry, I’m just really sick today? I don’t have the energy to focus on anything right now. I’m planning to lie down all day. Let’s eat another time.]

It was a message from him. Her worries were truly nothing. He had just been sick... she had overreacted.

“Fool! Of course! I should have trusted Mister! Yes... how much he depends on me... that’s just not possible. Right, right!”

Her anxious heart calmed, and her trembling hands steadied. The distressing emotions vanished, and a smile kept forming on her lips.

“Hehe... So, Mister and I trust each other.”

After ending the communication, she crawled out from under the covers. She emerged a completely different person from before, and at the same time, determined.

“But... that’s not enough.”

“I need deeper and more solid trust.”

“Enough to not be shaken by something like this.”

“I have to make him depend on me more.”

“...Didn’t he say he was sick?”

She rushed to her desk, turned on her laptop, and opened a map on the internet, then started scouring through her chat history on her smartphone.

“Mister said he lives in this neighborhood...”

“...Exclude the apartments, he said he could see the Sun Guild headquarters from the rooftop... exclude that too...”

“...He mentioned eating beef brisket jjamppong on discount two weeks ago... ah, that Chinese restaurant. It’s a chain... two locations in this neighborhood. It took 20 minutes for delivery... so it’s within this range...”

“...He said the police station is close. If it’s a 5-minute walk, then exclude here and here...”

“...He often eats convenience store food. He recommended a product from UC Convenience Store. He said he goes to the closest one only... this area...”

“...That leaves two places. But since construction started nearby the day before yesterday...”

“Ah, found it.”
