A Lewd Sketch Artist in a Gender-Reversed World - Chapter 82

Chapter 82 : Akward

Awkward.

This was the first thought Hayubin had while eating.

Not just a little awkward, but very awkward.

The savory smell of the meat restaurant mixed with heavy silence.

Only the clattering sound of moving dishes echoed at the table.

Although she forced a smile on her face, no one took the lead to open their mouth.

It was good that they had threatened Ahrin to bring in the mysterious man.

At least they could satisfy their curiosity about what he looked like.

But the problem was that the man called 'Lee Se-won' was much more handsome than they had imagined.

...No, to be precise, the man was handsome but had a very prickly appearance. That prickly look was the problem.

A face that seemed to have complaints about everything in the world.

Looking at those eyes that seemed to glare at people, one could automatically feel their body shrinking.

There was an unfounded fear that if they said something wrong, they might get slapped.

That's why they couldn't open their mouths recklessly.

They were already psychologically intimidated.

Just as they automatically cowered when they saw gangster-like people, she couldn't help it either.

"......"

Hayubin glanced sideways at Ahrin sitting next to Se-won.

She saw her frozen, hesitating, as if she too found the situation awkward.

This bastard, if she brought him, she should lighten the mood.

Her silent appearance just seemed infuriating.

Feelings of betrayal and self-loathing surged in Hayubin's mind.

'This, this deceitful bastard...'

Honestly, she still had no idea how Ahrin got to know Se-won.

The combination of Ahrin, who was like a small animal, and Se-won, who had sharp features, was very mismatched.

It felt like seeing a predator and prey together. Rather than matching, it was a pair that felt out of place.

“Huh? Is something wrong?”

As she looked at him with a slightly curious face, Se-won noticed and asked.

Hayubin, her face reddened, quickly waved her hand.

“Ah, no! Nothing is wrong, haha...” she said with a forced smile, sweating nervously. From a third-person perspective, it looked quite funny.

Se-won smiled kindly and held Hayubin's right hand.

Her body stiffened for a moment. A man's large, slender hand was caressing hers.

Se-won looked at Hayubin like that and said kindly.

“Don’t be too awkward. I just came to talk with you all. So feel free to talk to me.”

“Ah... yes.”

Hayubin nodded blankly.

And she thought, it's not good to judge people by their appearance alone.

His smiling face was quite charming.

'Phew, that's better.'

Looking at Yubin next to me nodding, I nodded inwardly.

It was obvious that she was very uncomfortable, so I said a few words, and it seemed that the discomfort was easing a bit.

It was fortunate. Thanks to that, I almost died of discomfort too.

'I forgot...'

I also become terribly tongue-tied in front of strangers. It was natural for silence to spread everywhere as I closed my mouth and the others did the same.

“Phew... so.”

As I was sighing in relief inside, Sujin opened her mouth.

It seemed that the atmosphere had eased a bit thanks to what I had just done.

“Ahrin, tell me. How did you meet?”

Four pairs of curious eyes turned to Ahrin.

Ahrin looked at me with a subtle gaze for a moment.

She was probably asking me for permission to speak. Since we met in an abnormal way, it might be difficult to answer.

I looked at her and nodded slightly. It meant she could speak.

“We just... met on the internet. We had similar interests... yes, we started talking and somehow ended up meeting.”

Those interests were none other than talking about erotic pictures. Even if I allowed her to answer, it would be difficult to disclose that, so it was her way of controlling the information.

As she finished her answer, Choi Yeeun on the opposite side shouted in surprise.

“If it's the internet... by any chance, Twitter?!”

“Hey!”

Thud!

And Kang Sujin quickly hit Choi Yeeun's head. It meant to shut up.

I nodded my head.

It seemed that the bird was harmful in this world too. That's why she was desperately trying to silence her.

Kang Sujin hurriedly apologized to me.

“I'm sorry. This friend is a bit reckless.”

“Haha... it's okay.”

I awkwardly smiled and accepted the apology. The fact that she was apologizing so much just for mentioning the harmful bird meant that she was feeling quite uncomfortable around me.

'Please treat me comfortably...'

I would be comfortable too.

Well, at least the conversation itself went smoothly. Once the ice was broken, everyone started asking one or two questions.

As a result, the table was soon filled with quiet voices.

“So, did you meet in a cafe at first?”

“Ah, yes.”

“What coffee did you order?”

“F*ck, is that an important question now?”

It was still a bit awkward, but not to the point of falling back into silence.

Soon, the meat was served on the table. It was pork ribs marinated in galbi sauce.

Since it was grilled over charcoal, it was sure to be delicious even without tasting it.

Charcoal-grilled pork ribs... this is no different from sex.

Sizzle!

Kang Sujin put the meat on the grill and asked.

“So... did Ahrin ask to meet first?”

“Ah, no. I asked to meet first.”

And around that time, I stepped in and corrected her. Strictly speaking, she didn't know if I was a man or a woman at our first meeting.

From her perspective, it was no different from a fate that somehow began.

As I explained this, the group began to look at  Ahrin with subtle gazes. Their eyes were mixed with various emotions.

“You, you lucky bastard...”

“You just sat back and got everything.”

'Ah.'

And I looked at that sight and chuckled. I could quickly realize what kind of gazes those were.

In other words, they were envious.

From my perspective, it was no different from a pretty woman on the internet suggesting to meet me first.

And that meeting somehow continued, and we were meeting as friends now. It was a fortunate story, so how could they not be envious?

'Feels good.'

And in a corner of my heart, a kind of self-esteem was filled. Just by existing, I could make someone envious.

The self-esteem created from the fact that the cause of that envy was me.

It felt like my own value had risen a step. The feeling that someone needed me and felt affection for me couldn't be bad.

I came to help Ahrin's deception, but instead, I was filling my self-esteem.

I decided to thoroughly enjoy those reactions.

After that, we just had a simple conversation while eating. The subsequent questions were mostly directed at me.

Since they had finished the background check on how we met, the interest had now shifted to me.

I answered them lightly while eating the pork ribs.

“So, how old are you?”

“I'm twenty-two. Probably the same age as you all.”

“Oh... then you must be in college now. Do you have a part-time job?”

“Yes. I do a kind of side job at home.”

Of course, I completely hid how we met and what I did. No matter what, I couldn't reveal from the first meeting that I drew strange pictures. Fortunately, they didn't seem to ask about that.

We were uncomfortable with each other. Hiding what one wanted to hide was a considerate thing.

It was something to be thankful for.

“Ah, eat this, Ahrin. It's all cooked.”

“No... you fed me just a moment ago.”

“Stop talking and hurry up.”

And I occasionally threw meat into Ahrin's mouth. At first, I did it as a joke, but it became addictive.

What should I say... it felt like directly feeding an animal.

It was a moment when I could understand the feelings of cat moms who smile while feeding stray cats.

Of course, every time I did this, her friends looked at me with subtle gazes... but since I had already decided to deceive them, it was just fun for me.

“Then......”

While we were eating and talking quietly like that, Hayubin, who had been silent next to me, suddenly opened her mouth.

“Are you two really dating now......?”

An embarrassing and shy question. As she asked the question, the eyes of the surrounding people momentarily showed signs of tension.

In a way, it was the most important content among the questions asked so far.

'Hmm.'

Here, I hesitated for a moment about how to answer. Strictly speaking, she and I were not separately dating.

We were just ordinary friends who met and had sex.

Of course, it's not easy to put a sex friend into the ordinary category... but anyway, that's how it was.

'But it's right to say we're dating.'

After a moment of hesitation, I decided and was about to open my mouth. It would be better to make them think we were dating rather than saying we weren't dating here and making the situation more complicated.

According to Ahrin, it was already almost certain that they had sex psychologically.

In that case, it would be better to make them think they were dating.

In fact, they would have already been half convinced that I was in a relationship with  Ahrin.

But before that, Ahrin spoke faster.

“Um, no. We're not dating yet......”

I mentally slapped my forehead.

Oh, I didn't expect her to say this honestly.

“What?”

“No, weren't you dating?”

At her words, the group was momentarily confused. Their faces were filled with question.

Given the current actions and the psychological evidence that they even had sex, it clearly felt like they were dating.

It was inevitable that cognitive dissonance would occur when she said no.

In the midst of this, Choi Yeeun realized something and shouted loudly.

“No way... sex, sex partners?!”

“Hey, you crazy bastard!”

Thud!!

Kang Sujin hit Choi Yeeun's head again!

Her face was filled with panic.

It was not a word to be said in front of an ordinary 'man'. Especially not in front of a 'man' she was seeing for the first time.

I just remained silent, but if it had been someone else, they might have frowned.

So, Kang Sujin quickly shut her mouth, but the disturbance that had already spread among her friends was inevitable.

The word 'sex partners' had shaken their consciousness.

They looked at Ahrin with eyes that seemed to say, 'No way?'

What is a sex partner? It meant a partner for sex.

A relationship that wants physical bond rather than psychological bond.

A relationship that is more than friends but less than lovers, meeting for the purpose of each other's bodies.

And in a way, it could be seen as an existence that was even more difficult to create than ordinary lovers.

What does sex mean?

It is one of the most beautiful fruits of love that lovers bear through their love for each other. It was the final stage of dating and could be seen as the king of skin ship.

But skipping all the stages of lovers and consuming only the most beautiful fruit among them?

That couldn't be easy. So, in a way, their disturbance was natural.

“Ah, no, that's not it......”

Only then did Ahrin realize that she had said the wrong thing and showed difficulty on the outside.

If it was the truth, then it would be correct to say sex partners.

But it was obvious what kind of aftermath would follow if she said that straightforwardly.

“Hey, tell me, is it true?”

And at that moment, I felt a playful urge inside.

Even a few questions made them react like that, what would happen if I actually showed some skin ship here?

'Oh.'

I can't resist this.

I didn't know what kind of aftermath would follow, but anyway, that was not my responsibility.

If there was no responsibility coming back to me, did I need to hesitate?

Of course not.

So, I tightly wrapped my arm around Ahrin's waist.

“Hmm, wait a moment......!”

As I wrapped my arm around her waist, a faint moan escaped her lips. I could see them momentarily flustered by my sudden action.

Regardless, I continued to do my thing.

With my remaining hand, I grabbed her breast, and with my mouth, I bit her ear.

“Hmm!”

The human ear is a place where many senses are concentrated more than one might think. Not only the sense of touch that can be obtained by stimulating the skin, but also the sense of hearing, of course. So, if you want to get a sensitive reaction from your partner, stimulating the ear is not a bad idea.

“Hey, wait a moment! The kids are here......!”

While groping her breast and stimulating her ear.

Chu-reup, chu-reup.

Vulgar sounds continuously echoed from her ear.

I used my teeth to bite her earlobe and also licked around her ear with my tongue.

A level of skin ship that only involved licking the ear. But it was absolutely not something that ordinary friends could do.

So, I licked Ahrin's ear for a while and then let go.

“Haa... haa......”

I could see her with a slightly reddened face, breathing roughly.

I took a few tissues and wiped my moist lips. Hmm, today her ear seemed to smell like galbi.

Looking around with that thought.

“......”

“......Ah.”

I could see the surroundings that had quieted down. The table, which had been noisy as if it had caught fire, was now filled with a heavy silence.

It was a sudden silence, as if someone had poured cold water.

All of her friends were looking at me with reddened faces.

Their faces were mixed with embarrassment, shock, and surprise.

I smiled slightly at them and then said.

“The nature of our relationship is a secret.”

Sometimes actions are more effective than words.
