Yuki Rei felt something pressing against her thigh. Her delicate body trembled slightly, but she pretended not to notice, striving to keep her voice gentle and calm. "Have you calmed down now, Fuyumi-kun?"
"I'm sorry, Yuki-nee. I really didn't mean to."
Sasaki Fuyumi's voice sounded genuinely apologetic, even as he inwardly thought, 'I totally meant to.'
"It was just an accident. I don't blame you, Fuyumi-kun. Could you... get off me now?"
Yuki Rei spoke hurriedly, her voice thick with shyness. The heat she felt against her leg was astonishing, scalding her and making her heart flutter with panic. She felt an urge to moan aloud but clenched her teeth and held it in. Right now, she just wanted Sasaki Fuyumi to get up and end this incredibly awkward situation.
"Uh, yeah, I'm getting up."
Sasaki Fuyumi's face was a mask of embarrassment. He scrambled to his feet, deliberately averting his gaze. If he kept up the act any longer, she might realize he was doing it on purpose.
The moment he left her, Yuki Rei immediately covered her chest with her arm. Once he was fully upright, she quickly sat up, grabbed the fallen towel, and wrapped it around herself, barely covering her body. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing that Sasaki Fuyumi had turned his gaze away after getting up, Yuki Rei's favorable impression of him grew. This incident was just an accident; Sasaki Fuyumi hadn't meant any harm. Although he had seen her naked and touched her chest, as an adult, she couldn't really blame him.
In fact, Yuki Rei was even a little worried he might blame himself. Looking at his silent figure, she sighed inwardly and offered comfort. "Fuyumi-kun, this was just an accident. Don't dwell on it. I'll go into the room now. You go entertain your classmates. Don't keep your crush waiting too long."
With that, Yuki Rei forced herself to ignore the embarrassment, stood up, and quickly walked into the room.
She completely failed to notice that as she turned her back to him, Sasaki Fuyumi was staring intently at her graceful figure. That brief minute of contact had given him a profound appreciation for the wonders of a fully mature woman's body. Compared to a young girl, it was a different kind of charm, equally captivating.
Just then, Sasaki Fuyumi noticed a patch of moisture on the floor. It seemed different from the water he'd spilled – thicker, more viscous.
This spot was where Yuki Rei had been lying, and this particular patch was previously located right beneath her rear.
Sasaki Fuyumi crouched down to observe it. He reached out and touched it, feeling a slight residual warmth. Lifting his hand, a thin, glistening thread stretched between his finger and the floor.
A strange glint flickered in Sasaki Fuyumi's eyes. He then got up, fetched a mop, and cleaned the floor thoroughly.
...
Sitting on the sofa, Sasaki Fuyumi began to ponder this unexpected encounter.
Tanaka Yu clearly wanted his wife Yuki Rei to develop a relationship with him. This was evident from his deliberate act of sending her over to shower at his place and then finding an excuse to leave.
As for Yuki Rei, she must have agreed as well. If she hadn't, things wouldn't have progressed this far.
Sasaki Fuyumi guessed the couple enjoyed some thrilling games. The husband was a cuckold, unbothered by his wife being with other men, even actively facilitating it. The wife was probably easy, having been with countless men.
At this thought, Sasaki Fuyumi's initial enthusiasm for Yuki Rei suddenly cooled. He even felt a hint of revulsion. Compared to someone easy, he still preferred virgins.
But then again, something felt off. According to his logic, if Yuki Rei was really that easy, given their intimate contact just now, shouldn't she have actively seduced him? Why was she blushing and acting shy like a schoolgirl?
The system hadn't given him any prompts, so he had to figure it out himself.
Was Yuki Rei into this whole 'play hard to get' game?
Did she see him as prey, not rushing to consume him but enjoying the sport of toying with him instead?
Sasaki Fuyumi felt a twinge of annoyance. He glanced towards his room. 'Yuki Rei's probably in there right now, waiting for me to walk right in. Well, let her wait.'
He deliberately left her there, with nothing to wear, alone in his room.
...
After playing on his phone for about an hour, he got up and walked to his door. He knocked. "Yuki-nee, my classmates are gone. Can I come in?"
He decided it was time to talk to this woman. He didn't want to play her games.
An easy woman wasn't interesting. But he had to be careful how he approached this; best not to offend her.
"You can come in."
Hearing Yuki Rei's voice, Sasaki Fuyumi opened the door and entered. He found her wearing one of his tracksuits, sitting on his bed, looking at him with complex emotions.
Yuki Rei apologized, "Fuyumi-kun, I borrowed one of your outfits to wear. I hope you don't mind. I'll buy you a new one tomorrow."
'Well, she's already wearing it. What can I do?' Sasaki Fuyumi could only shake his head, indicating he didn't mind.
Just as Sasaki Fuyumi was thinking about how to broach the subject, Yuki Rei suddenly spoke. "Fuyumi-kun, there's something I'd like to talk to you about."
Her expression was very serious.
Sasaki Fuyumi was taken aback. "What is it?"
'Is she going to come clean? Ask if I want to be her friends-with-benefits?' He looked at her exquisitely beautiful face and her curvaceous figure, swallowing hard. It seemed incredibly difficult to refuse her.
In that moment, Sasaki Fuyumi deeply understood his weakness as a virgin. His willpower crumbled in the face of a beautiful woman. He was all too easy to seduce.
Yuki Rei bit her lip, took a deep breath, and finally mustered the courage to speak, her voice laced with shame. "Tanaka Yu wants me to seduce you. He's a pervert. He wants to see his wife have an affair with another man. And you're the target he's chosen."
Sasaki Fuyumi was stunned. This wasn't what he'd expected at all.
Yuki Rei mistook his shock for disbelief. She smiled bitterly. "Strange, isn't it? That my husband is this kind of person."
Sasaki Fuyumi snapped out of it. He couldn't help but ask, "Yuki-nee, you're not joking, are you? How could Yu-san be like that? And are you really going along with it?"
That last question was the one Sasaki Fuyumi really wanted answered. He needed to know if she was truly 'easy' or not.
"Why would I joke about something like this? If I weren't at my wit's end with him, and if you weren't also a victim in this, I wouldn't have told you the truth. This is a shameful secret for me, something I don't want anyone to know."
Yuki Rei sighed sadly, a look of pain on her beautiful face.
"I never thought Yu-san was that kind of person!" Sasaki Fuyumi worked hard to look shocked, then asked with concern, "So, Yuki-nee, what are you going to do? Now that you've confessed to me, won't Yu-san do something to you when he finds out?"
Yuki Rei bit her lip, looking at him. "Fuyumi-kun, I told you the truth because I actually want to ask for your help. I'm hoping you'll play along with me, pretend to be... intimate with me, so Tanaka Yu thinks we're involved."
As she finished, Yuki Rei's face was slightly flushed, but she looked at him expectantly.
