The Cruel Beast’s Desire - Chapter 17

10 PM.

Hayeon took out her swimsuit from the locker room and put it on. While other teammates were heading to bed for early morning training, Hayeon still had training left.

No, it was punishment disguised as training.

The sound of splashing water could be heard as she opened the door leading to the pool. Hayeon stretched as she walked to the starting block. Even as she rotated her arms, her eyes intently watched the person in the center lane.

“Seo Yoonjae?”

Hayeon stood at the starting block, silently watching Yoonjae turn around at the other end.

Perhaps he saw Hayeon standing there, he touched down and stopped. He pushed his goggles up and looked up at Hayeon.

They had passed by each other before, but this was the first time they were facing each other this closely.

Perhaps it was because he was wet, but his features looked even more defined. Maybe it was because he had just finished a race, but the way he was catching his breath looked different from what she had imagined.

His smooth lips curved attractively.

“Kang Hayeon?”

“Yeah, that’s me. What are you doing here at this hour?”

“You know who I am?”

Instead of answering her question, he abruptly asked if she knew him.

“You’re Seo Yoonjae.”

“So, you knew my name.”

Yoonjae’s lips curved even more.

“I’ve seen you around… you’re famous.”

“I’m famous?”

He looked like he had no idea.

“You do no-breathing, right?”

“Ah, that.”

He nodded as if he was hearing it for the first time.

It was a technique that not just anyone could do, so when Yoonjae was selected for the national team, everyone had high expectations. Even if she didn’t know him personally, she had heard a lot about him from various sources.

It seemed to be the same for Yoonjae.

“I’ve known about you for a while. Kang Hayeon, you’re famous too.”

Hayeon was famous among swimmers for two reasons. One was that she was pretty for an athlete, and the other was…

“Congratulations on winning the medal at the Asian Championships.”

Although it was the Asian Championships, she was a gold medalist. At first, she gained fame for her looks, but Hayeon didn’t like that label. Fortunately, she decided to give Yoonjae a good score for mentioning the latter.

“Thank you, but that was last year?”

“It’s the first time you and I are talking now.”

Yoonjae was a strange guy. She had always seen him with a blank expression, but now he was smiling so much it was almost excessive.

“But you still haven’t answered. Why are you here at this hour?”

“Ah… that?”

Instead of answering, he chuckled.

“Wouldn’t it be for the same reason as you?”

“Could it be… did you also talk back to the coach?”

“Ah, you have a coach? I rebelled against the director.”

The target was different, but the reason the two of them were here at this hour was the same. The result of fearlessly standing up to their superiors was night training.

“The director seems to like you, why didn’t you just let it go?”

“Kang Hayeon, it’s rumored all over the national team that the coach dotes on you. Why didn’t you swallow your pride and let it go? It wasn’t even your business.”

“Because it wasn’t my business. It’s the national team, why do we need to divide into factions and have separate training times? I was wondering how long we have to keep doing this… what about you?”

“It’s similar for me.”

The two of them chuckled at the same time.

If they were receiving punishment disguised as training for the same reason, it was like meeting a reliable comrade.

“I wanted to meet you once but it was difficult.”

“Me? Why?”

Instead of answering, he chuckled.

They couldn’t continue chatting here. They had to quickly finish their punishment disguised as training and go back to the dorm.

Hayeon entered the lane next to Yoonjae. When the cold water touched her body, Hayeon shivered.

“How much do you have left?”

“I have a lot left. You have 10 IMs too?”

“Yeah.”

At the end of her answer, Hayeon let out a long sigh.

“Since it’s come to this, want to do it together?”

“I’m at a disadvantage. You’re a man and I’m a woman… our physical conditions are different, so there’s a difference in skill, how can we do it together?”

“I can start 5 seconds later.”

It was a tempting offer.

It seemed better than doing it alone boringly.

“Okay.”

When Hayeon readily agreed, Yoonjae smiled, revealing his white teeth.

“You know…”

“What about me?”

“Do you always smile like that?”

Instead of answering, Yoonjae laughed loudly. Just as his laughter was fading in the pool, Hayeon put on her goggles and suddenly started first.

“That’s cheating!”

Hayeon thought she heard Yoonjae’s voice, but she focused on swimming. She was glad to have a comrade while receiving punishment for a week.

The two of them finished their punishment after a week. But then, another situation arose where they would receive punishment disguised as training. Instead of saying it was too much, a strange anticipation welled up.

That night, Yoonjae was in the pool as usual.

The two of them received punishment together again like that. About a month after receiving punishment, they had their first kiss in the pool because of Yoonjae’s confession. It was an awkward kiss, but her heart felt like it was going to explode.

At the age of twenty, when they were full of youthful energy, the emotions that ignited grew uncontrollably. The temperature control room on one side of the pool was one of the places where they could enjoy secret dates away from everyone’s eyes.

Intoxicated by the hot and humid heat, their playful fire continued recklessly.

On days when they had outings, they often spent the day together in a hotel instead of going home.

Yoonjae showed off his swimmer-like stamina until Hayeon collapsed from exhaustion.

Hayeon glared at Yoonjae, panting.

“How can you be like this every time? Don’t you ever get tired?”

“You should show me your swimmer-like stamina too. I’ve only done it once, are you telling me to go crazy?”

Hayeon shivered as Yoonjae’s lips lingered over her.

“I think doing ten thousand kilometers of swimming would be better. This is not even an animal. Haa.”

The heat that had been subsiding flared up again wherever Yoonjae’s lips touched. A faint moan escaped with her hot breath.

She hadn’t even caught her breath yet, but Yoonjae wasn’t finished and was about to start again. His hand groping her sticky lower body was blatant. Her sensitive spot, already sensitive from one round of sex, was greatly stimulated by even a small touch.

“Haa… please…”

There was nothing Hayeon could do between the desire to rest and the desire to fall into the thrilling pleasure that Yoonjae gave her.

Hayeon’s back arched as she felt hot breath and a rough sensation on her sensitive chest.

“You’re too intense…”

Everything he exuded was like that. And everything that was engraved on Hayeon was also too deep and intense.

“Sometimes I feel like I’m being devoured by you, haa.”

Yoonjae, who had taken his lips off her chest, raised his head.

“Why did you think that?”

“When you come in too deep, I feel like I’m going to break.”

“When were you able to think about that when you were moaning with pleasure… I shouldn’t have been so considerate.”

Something hot and hard poked her sticky spot. When Hayeon squirmed, it pressed in even deeper, unintentionally adding to the sensual sensation.

“How is that being considerate, haa. I feel like I’m going to be devoured by you someday.”

“I’m only holding back this much. I guess today is the day you get devoured. So just let me devour you quietly. Because the crazed beast that goes wild is me when it comes to Kang Hayeon.”

“Eek, you really are like a beast.”

As if to prove what he was saying, Yoonjae pounced on her. Her lips were eaten up, and something hot and heavy entered her below. Hayeon exhaled hot breath at the sensation of filling her deep inside, but Yoonjae swallowed it all.

Yoonjae’s lips fell away as his hip movements intensified. Yoonjae’s lips, which were traveling down her neckline, were so hot.

“I’m a beast in front of Kang Hayeon. Only in front of you.”

Hayeon hugged the beast, who was increasing his speed, tightly.

“You’re the one who’s… a beast…”

Hayeon bit her lip, unable to take back what she had said.

Of all things.

It was what they had said to each other at the age of twenty, in the moment when they were whispering passionate love. That alone had stimulated Yoonjae. She was embarrassed by the words that came out so naturally, but she couldn’t take them back.

Hayeon chewed on her bitten lip.

She wanted to run away anywhere, but Yoonjae, with his sharp gaze, took another step closer.

“I guess you’ve forgotten…”

One side of Yoonjae’s lips turned up. And he slowly took another step closer. Unlike their bodies, which were getting closer and closer, his cold gaze felt so distant.

No, Tae Yoonjae was originally a distant person from Hayeon.

Thinking that, it was hard for her to meet his eyes. When Hayeon turned her gaze away, Yoonjae clicked his tongue as if he didn’t like it. And he grabbed Hayeon’s chin and pulled her strongly towards him.

“It’s what Kang Hayeon used to say to me every time.”

Gulp.

“Just because time has passed doesn’t mean a beast becomes a human.”

Before she could understand his words, he overlapped his lips with hers.

Hayeon couldn’t move as his heat, which was swirling in an instant, was so hot and intense.

He licked every corner of her teeth, and licked and drank the flesh that he had relentlessly stirred up tonight. He didn’t make any polite requests to give him everything. A dizzying sensation spread with a kiss that was like a declaration of war to take everything.

The fear of being devoured by him again crept in, but she couldn’t push him away.

Yoonjae, who didn’t hide his desire, felt like the Seo Yoonjae she knew, and she responded so honestly to his touch.

It seemed that it wasn’t just memories that she didn’t forget at all. The moment she had with him was so vivid, as if her body remembered it more accurately.

It was so hot that she felt like she was going to cry.

Even in this situation, the nasty memories kept reminding her of how passionate Kang Hayeon and Seo Yoonjae were at the age of twenty.

To think that all the affectionate and thrilling gazes at that time were fake. Unlike her body, where a sensual heat had spread, Hayeon’s heart, which had been betrayed so desperately, grew cold.
