Side.
It was the moment Yumin kissed Tae-jun. A sound loud enough to drown out the soft kiss.
Gurgle-.
The sound, which echoed like thunder in the quiet room, made Yumin’s face turn bright red.
“Yumin, are you hungry?”
“Yes, it’s embarrassing… I know. My stomach is a bit empty.”
“Didn’t you say you ate something before we left?”
“I did, but actually, I’ve been hungry lately.”
“Really? You used to skip meals often, didn’t you?”
“Yeah. But strangely, these days, I’m so hungry as soon as I wake up that I eat breakfast, then lunch and dinner, and I even need a snack before bed. Sometimes I suddenly crave chicken in the middle of the night. Isn’t it strange?”
“So that’s how it is……”
Tae-jun smiled, pulling the corners of his lips slightly, and stroked Yumin’s stomach. As if to confirm that it was empty inside.
“Heehee, it tickles.”
“Okay, I get it. I’ll make you something to eat.”
Tae-jun led Yumin to the kitchen.
“You just sit there. I’ll do it.”
Tae-jun insisted he would cook alone, certain that Yumin would just burn everything if he tried to help. The menu he prepared was a slightly rare steak and risotto made with natural herbs.
“Wow, this is so delicious.”
Yumin scraped off and ate all the herbs sprinkled on top of the risotto. As a carnivore, he wasn’t particularly interested in herbs, but perhaps because it was food made by Tae-jun, it tasted incredibly sweet and delicious.
“What is this?”
“Hmm. I don’t know the name either.”
Yumin pointed to a herb that was particularly green. Tiny red berries were growing at the tip. He had never seen it before, but it was fragrant and tasted amazing.
“Eat more. Yumin.”
“Yeah. Aren’t you eating?”
“I’m full.”
Yumin felt like he was about to cry from Tae-jun’s consideration.
While Yumin ate all the red berries and even had ice cream for dessert, Tae-jun sat at the table and waited. The effects would likely kick in within 30 minutes. Having brought Yumin this far, he was determined to see things through today.
Yumin struggled to hold onto his increasingly hazy consciousness. He hadn’t drunk wine with a high alcohol content, yet he felt strangely tired. He figured it was because he had exerted himself wandering in the mountains earlier. His body temperature also kept rising, making his forehead feel hot. His hands grew warm, and his throat felt itchy deep inside.
That wasn’t all. Yumin’s ears felt itchy. To be precise, it wasn’t his human ears, but the parts where animal ears should be that were itching. It was strange. These were areas he never paid attention to when he was in his humanized form.
Yumin raised his hand and felt his head. Naturally, no animal ears were protruding. Yet, the fact that they could itch was astounding. It was a completely different sensation from his hair tickling. It felt similar to the itchiness one feels when baby teeth fall out and permanent teeth emerge. If he had to compare it, that’s what it was like.
‘So many strange things are happening. It must be because of the change of season.’
It had nothing to do with the change of season, but Yumin tried to convince himself it was. Still, his anxiety didn’t subside. In the short time he waited for Tae-jun, Yumin repeatedly touched the spots where his animal ears should be.
“What are you doing?”
“Oh, nothing.”
Tae-jun, who had gone to clear the dishes for a moment, returned.
“Where does it itch?”
“Huh? It doesn’t.”
Yumin quickly denied it. Tae-jun shrugged, approached, and gently lifted Yumin. Yumin let out a small sound as he was suddenly airborne.
“Are you scared?”
“No, it’s not that…”
“You’re not feeling well. I’ll take you somewhere.”
“Thank you. But where are we going?”
“Where do you think?”
Tae-jun smiled slyly and lightly kissed Yumin’s lips.
“Ah…”
Tae-jun pushed deep into his body. Yumin arched his neck back from the pleasure of penetration. Despite having experienced it several times, each time Tae-jun inserted himself, an unadaptable sensation washed over his entire body. It felt like his whole body was stretching to its limit, as if it were splitting in half.
It wasn’t that it was intensely painful. It was more like an alien sensation, as if he were embracing a being other than himself with his entire body.
In fact, it was understandable that Yumin was struggling. Yumin, who had no sexual experience, didn’t know it, but Tae-jun’s penis was incomparably larger than that of an ordinary person. It was natural for Yumin, whose physique was not large, to find it tight to accommodate.
“Are you okay?”
Tae-jun leaned down and kissed Yumin’s temple. Tae-jun’s sweet whisper flowed into his ears. Yumin, feverish, merely nodded.
“Then I’ll begin.”
Without giving Yumin a chance to reply, Tae-jun began to move his hips.
“Ah, just a moment.”
The motion of withdrawing completely and then thrusting back in deeply continued. Goosebumps from pleasure spread across his entire body. Yumin unconsciously grabbed Tae-jun’s firm, thick forearm and clung to him. It was his way of asking him to go a little slower.
Normally, Tae-jun would accommodate Yumin’s wishes. If Yumin struggled, he would adjust his speed and kiss him, showing consideration. But today, Tae-jun was different. Despite Yumin signaling he was overwhelmed, Tae-jun didn’t stop thrusting. Instead, he was pushing harder than usual.
“Tae-jun-.”
Yumin urgently called Tae-jun’s name, but it was no use. Tae-jun only thrust his hips faster.
‘Something’s strange.’
Yumin felt a sense of unease. Tae-jun’s rough thrusting wasn’t new, but something felt different now. It was unlike Tae-jun to move so recklessly, not even listening to what Yumin was saying.
Yet, even as this happened, the pleasure spreading through his body showed no signs of stopping. Yumin honestly cried out and accepted Tae-jun.
‘It itches…….’
They were lost in each other for a long time. Shortly after finishing dinner, the itching sensation returned to the areas that had been itchy before. Soon, an unbearable, intense itchiness arrived. He tried to scratch it with his hands, but Tae-jun had bound Yumin’s wrists, preventing him from doing so.
“Just a moment, really, just a moment!”
Yumin twisted his body and pleaded, but Tae-jun only looked down at him with eyes flushed with ecstasy, never releasing Yumin’s hands.
Having no other choice, Yumin rubbed his head against the pillow. He wanted to alleviate the itchiness even a little, if only by doing that.
But something felt strange. It wasn’t his hair, but something else that made a thump sound against the pillow. It was a sensation that felt both unfamiliar and familiar.
It was a sensation he occasionally felt during his adolescence when he couldn’t properly control his beast transformation and humanization.
‘No way, could it be…….’
Yumin’s face turned pale. He couldn’t deny this feeling.
It was at that moment. Tae-jun, who had been moving intensely, stopped thrusting.
“Yumin, you……”
“Huh? Huh?”
Tae-jun, still inside Yumin, raised only his upper body and brushed his hair back. Normally, he would have been captivated by Tae-jun’s sexy appearance, but the situation was different now. It was because of the unfamiliar aura that appeared in Tae-jun’s eyes.
Yumin, now able to move his hands freely, quickly felt his head. And then he froze. As expected, his ears had protruded.
“You, this……”
“What, what?”
Yumin pressed his ears firmly with both hands. Fortunately, the small ears fit comfortably in his hands, but that didn’t explain everything.
‘How can I cover this up? Should I say I’m wearing animal ear costumes? That’s ridiculous. It would be even stranger if they suddenly appeared when they weren’t there before.’
In a short time, all sorts of excuses swirled through Yumin’s mind. No matter how he thought about it, it was a strange situation. Tae-jun was also feeling puzzled, wasn’t he? If he couldn’t come up with a proper excuse this time, there would be no escape.
But something unexpected happened. Tae-jun showed an unexpected reaction. He just looked at Yumin and let out a soft chuckle.
“Cute.”
“Uh…?”
“It’s nothing.”
Tae-jun smiled meaningfully. Yumin’s heart pounded ominously. He felt as if Tae-jun might realize his true identity at any moment and get angry for deceiving him.
However, what Yumin expected did not happen. Tae-jun silently overlapped his body onto Yumin’s again and began thrusting at a speed incomparable to before. Tae-jun pressed on without giving Yumin a chance to ask anything.
“Cute.”
“Ugh, haaak!”
Even as this happened, Tae-jun repeatedly called Yumin cute. Yumin, disoriented by the up-and-down motion, didn’t even have the mental capacity to grasp the hidden meaning behind those words. The same went for Tae-jun not saying anything more.
Again, Tae-jun’s large penis freely toyed with Yumin’s hole. Yumin spread his legs wide, his wrists held by Tae-jun just as before, and was violated by Tae-jun.
“S-save me. Aah!”
A tingling sensation traveled up his spine. Intense pleasure muddled his mind. Yumin instinctively knew that climax was approaching. He had long forgotten the sensation of his animal ears rubbing against the pillow. It felt as if his body existed only to accept Tae-jun. It felt like it had no other value.
The moment Tae-jun ejaculated deep inside Yumin, Yumin lost consciousness.
Yumin woke up much later. His limbs felt weak, and his entire body was stiff. Too weak to even move his head, Yumin briefly couldn’t remember where he was or what he was doing. Then, he was startled by the familiar warmth of another body. It was Tae-jun.
Tae-jun lay facing Yumin, his eyes closed.
‘Right. That happened last night. Was it a dream? No, that’s impossible.’
Yumin tried to recall the dream’s content. A dream where his ears suddenly popped out, his tail appeared, and his identity was revealed. Tae-jun, unbothered, had thrust into him relentlessly. Then he had lost consciousness.
‘Surely not. Even if I lost my reason, I wouldn’t make such a nonsensical mistake.’
Yumin tried to shake off the useless thoughts, dismissing it as a bad dream. With great effort, he got up and went into the bathroom. Standing under the shower to wash off the sweat that clung to his body, he began by washing his hair. The moment he squeezed out the shampoo and rubbed it into his hair, he was silently horrified. His ears had protruded.
‘This is impossible!’
He flinched and looked back. A thick, long tail had also emerged from his backside.
“Are you insane? It wasn’t a dream?”
His appearance in the mirror was pathetic. His pupils were dilated more than usual, his cheeks were flushed, and his body, tinged pink everywhere as if indicating a fever, looked downright lewd.
‘Did I really look like this last night? Did I really sleep with Tae-jun like this!’
Yumin, too shocked, threw the soap. The innocent soap hit the floor and dented. Hearing the clatter from the bathroom, Tae-jun called out from outside, “What’s wrong?”
Startled, Yumin trembled and recalled the adult’s words. They said that when one entered Heat Cycle, reason disappeared and one couldn’t properly grasp the situation. Therefore, one had to be extremely careful, and they repeatedly urged him to find a safe haven if he entered Heat Cycle.
If that were the case, Yumin had made a grave mistake. He had revealed his half-human, half-beast form as a wildcat beastman.
Had Tae-jun discovered his true identity? Surely, when he lay down on the bed, Tae-jun would have seen his ears and tail. And he would have sensed something suspicious from his behavior, which was far more lustful than usual during sex.
‘What should I do…….’
In an instant, Yumin’s face turned pale. He called out “It’s okay” towards the outside of the bathroom and took a deep breath.
Though flustered, he had to do what needed to be done. He stood before the mirror again, trying to retract his ears. He decided he had to escape in his human form, hiding his identity.
For a beastman, revealing their true form to a human was not only a fatal mistake but also directly related to personal honor. He had to leave this place quickly before encountering Tae-jun. He didn’t care about the aftermath. Yumin was driven by extreme emotions.
However, while looking in the mirror, Yumin discovered something suspicious.
“What is this? Was I bitten by something?”
There were teeth marks on Yumin’s nape. They looked like they were left by a creature with very sharp fangs, leaving a bright red mark, and it seemed to have bled. He hadn’t felt pain earlier due to his shock, but now, perhaps because water touched it, it stung and was very painful.
“……What is this?”
He wondered if Tae-jun had done it, but no. The teeth were too sharp and pointed to be human. It was a mark no human could leave. It was more like a wild animal.
Perhaps he had been bitten by a beast without realizing it? But he had been inside the pension the whole time; when could he have been bitten on the neck by a wild animal? The more he thought about it logically, the more absurd it seemed. His heart pounded, and Yumin grew increasingly terrified.
‘This is impossible. Why is this happening to me?’
It was then. His lower abdomen began to ache terribly. It felt like someone was pulling from inside, causing an immense twisting sensation.
“Aargh!”
Yumin suddenly cried out, clutching his stomach, and collapsed. A sharp, piercing pain continued. He didn’t know what was happening, but it was a pain he had never experienced before, so he was genuinely scared. He couldn’t stand up and remained curled up.
Yumin didn’t know it, but this was a side effect occurring during the process of sperm from another species invading Yumin’s body. It was a phenomenon that occurred when a different species, not another wildcat, forcibly took over his body to sprout seeds within him.
But Yumin, knowing nothing, was merely terrified and at a loss.
“Yumin, are you there?”
Tae-jun’s voice came from outside.
“Uh, uh. Tae-jun…”
“Open the door.”
“Huh?”
“Open the door, now.”
Yumin didn’t have the confidence to face Tae-jun. But he couldn’t refuse help when he was in so much pain.
“Open it, I said!”
‘What should I do…….’
Yumin trembled with fear.
“Open the door, now! Go Yumin!”
Tae-jun’s voice was menacing. Glancing at the mirror, he saw that his ears had thankfully retracted in the meantime. Yumin hesitated, then opened the door. He figured it would be better to rely on Tae-jun.
But Tae-jun, as he entered, looked strange.
“Tae-jun…?”
His eyes were not human. Yumin’s legs gave out, and he almost collapsed. The golden eyes with vertically slit pupils stared at Yumin as if a beast were eyeing its prey. A cold, chilling gaze washed over Yumin. Like a herbivore encountering a predator deep in the mountains, Yumin froze.
‘How could this happen…….’
Yumin couldn’t distinguish between dream and reality. In his panic, he almost fell on his backside. Tae-jun caught him as he swayed.
“You have to be careful. You can’t get hurt anymore.”
“W-what? But why are your eyes like that?”
“My eyes? Why?”
“Your eyes are strange…”
Yumin’s voice trembled involuntarily.
