Chapter 85: Chapter 85

There was no exposure, but just holding panties was quite erotic.

Moreover, sticking out her tongue slightly added to that effect.

I turned off the screen and discreetly checked my surroundings.

But seeing that no one was paying attention, I clicked on the photo again.

I had seen Shin Ah-young’s naked body countless times, but this concept had a unique allure.

In reality, in this space, a fact only I knew.

My cock twitched slightly with the emotion.

A moment later, the sound of the toilet flushing and the sink running was heard before the bathroom door opened.

Wiping her hands lightly, Shin Ah-young spoke first.

「Did you wait long? My stomach suddenly hurt. Sorry.」

「No, I didn’t wait much.」

「It’s okay.」

I closely observed her lower half.

From the fact that the pockets of those dolphin shorts weren’t bulging.

She had either put them back on or hidden them in the bathroom, one of the two.

Shin Ah-young came over and sat down across from me.

She seemed to smile slightly as she sat down, but I did not look at her.

It was partly because of the photo I had seen, but also because those damn dolphin shorts made it embarrassing to look.

I understand it’s summer, but for someone like me who hasn’t masturbated in about 5 days, it was too much of a stimulus.

Still, I couldn’t help but be drawn to her firm thighs subtly revealing themselves, and her white legs continued to tempt me to look.

I decided to look just once more, and turned my gaze to her pants.

Wondering if I could see a camel toe.

I hoped to see it, but perhaps because the pants were thick, it wasn’t visible.

Swallowing my disappointment internally, I raised my eyes.

Then, I inadvertently met her clear, large, pretty eyes.

Seeing her slightly smiling, she might have noticed that I was looking there.

Very likely.

Embarrassed, I slightly turned my head and took out a notebook from my bag.

Then everyone started taking out their study materials appropriately.

As the study atmosphere set in, Seo A-rin stood up first.

「I’ll start then. This problem is…」

She explained diligently, including simple gestures.

We watched while eating snacks.

「You did well. It’ll be fine during the actual presentation as long as you don’t get nervous or misspeak.」

「It’s an easy problem, nothing much.」

After her presentation ended, I simply praised her.

Then Seo A-rin confidently accepted the praise and sat down.

Next was Jang Min-hyuk.

He didn’t seem to mind speaking in front due to his social tendencies.

I also gave him a fitting compliment before looking to the next person.

Shin Ah-young, hugging her knees with both hands.

I looked at her, signaling it was her turn to present, but my eyes unintentionally drifted between her calves.

Again, no camel toe was visible.

However, the creases of her pants gathered inward, and the V-line was clearly visible.

Then Shin Ah-young slightly spread her legs and spoke.

「Group leader? Is it my turn to present? Can I start?」

「Oh! Yes, please go ahead.」

Just hold on a bit longer.

After all, at night I could have everything inside those pants.

Don’t rush now.

Repeating this to myself, I watched her presentation.

「So, if you look here in the formula, taking what we calculated earlier.. and substituting it..」

As Shin Ah-young gestured during her explanation, it seemed a pleasant scent wafted through the air.

Perhaps it was because it was the day she declared war, or maybe I was overly conscious without reason.

Today, she seemed especially seductive.

「So, the answer comes out like this. That’s all.」

「Wow! Ah-young, that was really cool! The best.」

「I didn’t understand but it looked neat and good.」

The compliments from the group members continued.

Even I found her presentation flawless.

「I would like to hear the group leader’s assessment too. Was there anything to improve?」

「It was perfect. There was nothing to point out.」

「Hmm.. thank you.」

Then everyone looked at me, and I stood up to start my presentation.

I don’t know if anyone understood, but I explained as earnestly as possible.

A moment later, as I stopped speaking, applause erupted.

「It sounds so difficult, group leader, you’re really amazing!」

「Oppa, your explanation was cool. I didn’t understand a thing though.」

「Good job. It was a difficult problem.」

「Thank you all for keeping up till the end. Please do the same in the presentation two weeks from now.」

「Yes!」

With the major hurdle passed, the atmosphere softened further.

Naturally, we started chatting while eating the remaining snacks.

「The finals are about two weeks away, group leader, have you finished studying?」

「I’ve gone through everything once and I’m continuing to review.」

「Wow, you’re amazing, Oppa. I haven’t even gone through it once yet.」

The conversation continued for the next 20 minutes, with questions being directed towards me.

I began to notice Shin Ah-young’s glances and suggested to the group.

「Since it’s the weekend and finals are close, shall we eat quickly and disperse? I feel bad for staying too long as I’ve rented out my room. Let’s save our energy for later.」

「Yes, that sounds good. Ah-young should rest too.」

「Alright. I’ve been here too long anyway.」

After my suggestion, Shin Ah-young’s eyes momentarily sparkled.

It was a look that seemed relieved, but it quickly faded.

「Take care. It’s been boring at home, but I had fun today.」

「Not at all. We are more thankful for you lending your room.」

「Let’s go. Bye, Ah-young!」

After the door closed, we separated on the first floor.

Even though I was scared of what Shin Ah-young might do up until I arrived here, nothing unusual happened.

I decided to just get through the next few hours and headed home.

「Ah right, maybe I should buy something for dinner at the supermarket…」

I hadn’t walked far when I remembered my refrigerator was empty.

I immediately turned towards the supermarket.

While I was choosing ingredients, my pocket kept vibrating.

It was unusual to receive a call from anyone.

I wondered who it could be.

I took out my phone and saw Shin Ah-young’s name as the caller.

I immediately pressed the call button.

「Are you busy right now? I sent you a KakaoTalk message, but you didn’t respond, so I called.」

「KakaoTalk? What’s the matter?」

「Ah, group leader, you didn’t know. I mean, that’s why you left it behind.」

「What did I leave behind?」

「You left something important behind… Can you come back to my place? Is it too far?」

「No, I was just picking out dinner at the supermarket.」

「Then, after you finish shopping, please make sure to stop by. It’s important.」

The call ended abruptly.

With questions in mind, I checked KakaoTalk and found about five messages from Shin Ah-young.

Looking at the timestamps, they were sent about 3 minutes after I left the dorm.

-Shin Ah-young: Group leader? You left something important. Can you come back for a moment?

-Shin Ah-young: It’s really important. Please check it quickly.

-Shin Ah-young: You’re not ignoring me on purpose, are you?

-Shin Ah-young: Group leader?

-Shin Ah-young: Photo

Given the number of messages Shin Ah-young sent, it seemed to be something truly important.

The content seemed slightly alarming.

I quickly picked the ingredients and headed to her place.

Ding dong.

「I’m here.」

「Ah, come in, please.」

Shin Ah-young greeted me as before.

Standing in the entryway, I asked her.

「What did I leave behind? I don’t seem to have forgotten anything.」

「Come in and take off your shoes, then I’ll tell you.」

Smiling broadly as she led me inside, I felt like I had walked into a trap.

But having come this far, I decided to just enjoy it.

「I’m in.」

「Then I’ll answer your question.」

「Alright, what is it?」

「Earlier… what did you think of my photo? Be honest.」

「I don’t know why you sent it… but it was really erotic.」

「Really?」

Shin Ah-young seemed pleased by my response.

She then began asking more questions.

「And… you kept looking between my legs. Why? Were you bothered by my panties?」

She must have known all along.

Even though she kept asking, something felt off.

It wasn’t like she was cornering me or leading me into an interrogation.

It just seemed like she genuinely enjoyed conversing with me.

Watching my reactions and asking questions purely for the enjoyment of it.

「How could I not look when you’re not wearing panties?」

「Are you blaming me for that?」

「To some extent. You can’t say you have no responsibility if you sent that photo.」

「Hehe… I admit it. But there’s a fundamental mistake.」

I couldn’t immediately respond to her statement.

Hesitating for a moment, she moved closer and whispered softly.

「Actually… I was wearing panties. So, you, Mr. Ghost, are the pervert♡」

「Ha…」

I chuckled dryly.

At this point, why deny being a ghost?

She had openly sent a personal photo, called me to her place, called me a ghost.

I was curious how she would find perfect evidence and what she would say to counter me.

But it seemed pointless to continue denying it.

We were alone now, and the atmosphere wasn’t bad.

Should I just say it?

No, I’ll say it.

「I… I have something serious to say.」

I paused, then called Shin Ah-young.

She seemed to sense the shift in the atmosphere, her playful eyes returning to normal.

Seeing that, I spoke more confidently.

「Right… I’ve been denying it all this time. But I’ll be honest now. Actually, I am yo…」

「Stop.」

She cut me off with a tone so serious it stopped me mid-sentence.

Shin Ah-young looked slightly disappointed.

I wondered if I had said something wrong, replaying my words in my mind.

「Look, group leader. Do you remember what I said last week?」

「Yes? Oh, yes.」

「I clearly said I would gather irrefutable evidence, didn’t I? Including a plan.」

「That’s right…」

「But you’re jumping the gun. Isn’t that ruining the anticipation of the build-up? What about all my efforts then?」

I still couldn’t understand where the anger was coming from.

I listened quietly.

「Also, on the day itself. You’ve been looking forward to this event for a long time, but what if someone spoils it just before? Would that make you happy?」

「No…」

「See? I appreciate the courage, but finding the evidence, revealing the truth, receiving the reward for all my efforts… I will do all of that myself.」

「…」

「So… just wait a bit longer. It’s not much longer, right?」

「Yes…」

What could she possibly be preparing?

She knew everything yet still acted this way.

She paused, her eyes hardening for a moment before relaxing.

Returning to her playful demeanor, Shin Ah-young continued.

「Oh, right. I should give you what you left behind. Could you turn around for a moment?」

Following her instructions, I turned around as the sound of a curtain falling was heard.

Then, the sound of it being raised again.

「Now, you can turn back around.」

When I turned, Shin Ah-young was in the same position as in the photo.

Holding black panties, smiling.

「What you left behind… was my panties. I just took them off; they’re still warm.」

「Ah…」

She slipped the panties into my hand.

Indeed, they were warm to the touch.

I stared blankly as Shin Ah-young added one last remark.

「When you go home… you can use these panties to masturbate just once. Anything more than that is for the night…♡」
