EP.121 The End of Unrequited Love (1) 

Ye-rin often thought she was quite unusual. She had been close friends with others since childhood, attending the same all-girls middle and high school, and spending most of her days with them. 

"Should I really have a boyfriend...?" 

Watching her friends start dating and become happy made her feel like she was living a completely different life. 

It wouldn't have been hard to start dating if she wanted to, but the problem was what came after. 

The thought of being alone with a boy, exchanging messages, and spending time together filled her with a strong sense of rejection. 

It seemed like she was just not meant to be with men. 

So, she lost interest in dating and lived with a slight sense of isolation. 

After being summoned to another world on her 17th birthday and becoming a hero, nothing changed. 

Walking through streets filled with beautiful people in this new world, she only thought about how pretty they were. 

As an adult, Ye-rin joined a hero party at the request of the goddess and set her life goal to own a large mansion. 

If returning to Earth was possible, she would aim for that, but until then, she wanted to find happiness in this world. 

Ye-rin was certain that her life goals would never be overshadowed. 

But that changed when she met Choi Si-hyun. 

"Uh? If your name is Choi Ye-rin... Are you from Earth?" 

The situation changed completely after meeting Si-hyun. 

Initially, she was happy to have a friend from the same hometown and tried to be friendly like she was with her female friends. 

However, Si-hyun's response was cold, and he avoided eye contact. 

Ye-rin watched him from afar, wondering why he was so distant. 

Two months passed without them exchanging a word, which bothered Ye-rin. 

One day, she burst into his room, looking stern, and confronted him. 

"Choi Si-hyun." 

"...Why?" 

"Honestly, do you dislike our party?" 

"...No." 

"Then why do you avoid talking to us and won't even look at us?" 

Si-hyun sighed. 

"I'm keeping my distance because I don't want to harm you with my magic." 

"I know about magic too. I understand that your magic won't harm others unless it goes out of control." 

"...Tell me the truth. Why are you doing this?" 

Just then, Yuliana appeared. 

"Si, Si-hyun oppa... Yu, Yuliana... I came to say good morning..." 

"...Okay. Good morning, Yuliana." 

"Uh... Today's fox greeting is a hug... Can you come out for a bit?" 

"You did that a few days ago." 

"Uh... But this week, there are two hugs... And this one is a tight hug... Hehe..." 

Ye-rin wondered what was going on. 

"Are they secretly dating...?" 

It didn't make sense otherwise. 

A normal couple wouldn't hug like that, especially not a tight hug in the morning. 

"What was that? Are you two really dating?" 

"...No. Just leave now." 

Ye-rin was kicked out of the room, her suspicions about Si-hyun growing as she walked down the hallway. 

She met Yuliana, who was rubbing her thighs together, clearly excited. 

"Hehe... Does an adult fox feel this way every day? Hauu... You're too excited..." 

Yuliana took Ye-rin to her room, looking embarrassed. 

"Ye-rin unnie... What you just saw... Can you keep it a secret?" 

Of course, Ye-rin agreed to keep the secret. 

If others found out that Yuliana got aroused from just one hug and was dripping with arousal, it would cause her trouble. 

However, Ye-rin wanted to know about Yuliana's relationship with Si-hyun. 

"Ah... That's because Yuliana fell for Si-hyun oppa... She asks him for hugs because she wants to get closer... Hehe..." 

But the answer was unexpected. 

"However, Si-hyun oppa doesn't seem to like foxes like me... When I give him a tight hug, he doesn't get excited... Down there..." 

Yuliana's face turned red as she spoke. 

"He said he gets an erection, but it's not true..." 

"Does he do it because he can't refuse your requests?" 

"Uh... I think Si-hyun oppa is very kind and can't refuse when asked..." 

"Really?" 

"Yes... So, Yuliana has become a bit of a bad fox... Hehe..." 

Watching this, Ye-rin got an idea. 

She could ask Si-hyun for something he couldn't refuse, just like Yuliana. 

"What...? A duel?" 

"Yes. There are many wooden swords in the storage room. Let's use those." 

"Why suddenly?" 

"Just because I want to. Answer quickly. Will you do it or not?" 

"...Go ahead. I'll prepare and come out." 

As expected, Si-hyun hesitated for a moment before agreeing. 

Since they both used swords, Ye-rin suggested a fair duel to become closer. 

She asked him for duels two or three times a day, and as they sweated and rested together, their conversations increased. 

Ye-rin was satisfied with this. 

She just wanted to be good friends with Si-hyun, like friends from the same hometown. 

However, during a duel, Ye-rin tripped and fell. 

"Kyaak...!" 

Thanks to Si-hyun catching her, she didn't get hurt badly. 

Just her breast was firmly grasped by Si-hyun's hand, which was strong enough to cause discomfort despite her wearing a bra. 

But what bothered Ye-rin more was that Si-hyun was clearly excited, unlike when he was with Yuliana. 

As she realized this, many things changed. 

Si-hyun's warm breath on her face and neck made her heart beat faster. 

More sweat than usual covered her body, and she felt a special connection. 

"Phew... That was close." 

"...Are you okay, Ye-rin?" 

Hearing Si-hyun's voice, Ye-rin's heart raced even more. 

Each drop of sweat on his forehead seemed to hold a special meaning. 

"Why am I feeling this way...?" 

Despite being drenched in sweat and excited, Si-hyun only seemed concerned about Ye-rin. 

"Si, Si-hyun... My chest... Your hand..." 

"...Ah, sorry..." 

Si-hyun removed his hand, but his excitement was evident. 

"Huuu... Thank you for saving me..." 

From that moment on, Ye-rin's mind was filled with thoughts of Si-hyun. 

It was a new feeling she had never experienced before. 

She couldn't help but glance at him, and if their eyes met, she would quickly look away, only to sneak another peek. 

She spent the night smiling to herself, thinking about him. 

It was her first time feeling this way, and she didn't know what to do. 

Unlike Yuliana, she didn't have the courage to be so forward. 

She just wanted to be with him. 

But she couldn't sleep, so she headed to the bath, accidentally entering the men's section. 

"Is that... a penis?" 

The erect penis was as thick as her wrist. 

"Ah... I feel sorry for Ye-rin..." 

Crack, crack... 

"Is Si-hyun now... holding that big thing and... thinking of me...?" 

She had not only entered the men's bath but also watched him masturbate. 

It was something she must never be caught doing. 

Ye-rin felt the urge to reveal herself and get his attention by pretending to accidentally drop her towel. 

However, she suppressed that urge and returned to her room. 

She didn't want to have sex without emotions, and she lacked the courage to confess. 

For Ye-rin, the only way to satisfy herself was to fantasize about being penetrated by Si-hyun's penis. 

She regretted not acting on her feelings, as she wouldn't have regretted it if she had. 

Naturally, she regretted it. 

Under Aris's suggestion, Ye-rin had hated Si-hyun, but when she regained her senses, she felt immense confusion. 

The memory of being under hypnosis, kissing Si-hyun, and sucking his penis haunted her. 

Despite this, her feelings for him grew stronger. 

All Ye-rin could do was cry alone for a long time. 

She wished Si-hyun would kill her. 

However, when she saw herself attacking Si-hyun with a holy sword under Aris's command... 

Ye-rin's broken spirit decided to end her unrequited love once and for all. 

Seeing Si-hyun bleeding, Ye-rin felt only guilt for hurting him. 

As Si-hyun's magic healed his wounds and spread around him, Ye-rin fainted, overwhelmed by the magic, wishing he would kill her first. 

Tears filled her eyes as she thought about how fortunate it was that Si-hyun's wounds healed quickly. 

Though she wanted to ask him to kill her, she couldn't speak. 

Ye-rin crawled towards him, offering her neck, which was enough to convey her intent. 

But instead of killing her, Si-hyun gently stroked her head. 

"Ye-rin, have you been doing well?" 

"...Huuu... Si, Si-hyun..." 

The familiar voice filled her mind, making her extremely happy. 

Despite crying, she couldn't help but smile.
