Chapter 3 — My Two Girlfriends 1 (3)

I came home in the early hours, and the sound of the door opening woke Michael Lee from his sleep.

"Where were you?"

"..."

"Wait—did you go see her?"

"..."

"Damn it, I knew it! You really did it!"

"I tried waking you up because it felt weird going alone, but you just kept sleeping."

"Seriously? Oh man, I can't believe I missed that. You woke me and I didn't get up? Ugh, I'm such an idiot..."

"You were completely knocked out. What else could I do?"

"So you had sex with her again?"

"No. We just drank and talked."

"You're lying..."

"I'm not, damn it. Drop it already!"

For some reason, I didn't want to tell them everything—about how close we'd become, how natural it felt—so I brushed it off with vague excuses.

I fell asleep just before dawn and didn't wake until late afternoon. In my dream, Sarah Park, Emily Yoon, and I were tangled together, naked, moving wildly in passionate sex. Even under the shower, their faces kept flashing in my mind.

I wanted to see them again today, but couldn't decide what message to send. I typed, deleted, retyped—over and over.

"Did you drink a lot last night? You okay?"

I stared at my phone, waiting. A reply came.

"Yeah. But my stomach feels kind of sour..."

"I'll fix it on it. Wanna come out?"

"I'll fix it?"

"I messed up your stomach, so I gotta fix it."

"lol"

"I'll come by your place in about an hour. Bring Emily Yoon with you."

"Got it."

Thankfully, Sarah Park didn't seem to know about Emily Yoon and me. I felt a wave of relief.

I styled my hair carefully, picked out a sharp outfit, and left the house with a fluttering heart.

"Did you wait long?"

Emily Yoon greeted me warmly. Her easygoing attitude made me relax.

"Nah, I was just taking a drag on a cigarette."

"Ugh, chain smoker..."

"Sarah Park, you okay? You fell asleep so early last night—you looked exhausted."

"I'm fine. I guess I was just tired from not sleeping before my exam. I slept well, but now my stomach's bothering me."

"I told you—I'll handle the I'll fix it. Don't worry."

"But you left without even saying goodbye... kind of hurt."

"Sorry. You were sleeping so peacefully, I didn't want to wake you."

"Weren't you supposed to stay out drinking longer?"

"Yeah."

I glanced at Emily Yoon. She gave me a sly, knowing smile.

We headed to a restaurant near campus for a late breakfast-lunch.

"Are you going home during break?"

"Nah, I'll stay in Seoul—study and do part-time work."

"Oh, cool. That means we can keep hanging out..."

I surprised even myself—usually shy, but now being bold. Emily Yoon looked slightly taken aback.

"Keep hanging out? Heh heh..."

"We are friends now, right? Friends should see each other often."

Even I was amazed at my own audacity.

"Friends... hee hee..."

Maybe it was because I'd saved Sarah Park from that dangerous situation, but I felt a new confidence. Sarah Park pouted, her lower lip jutting out.

"It's the first day of vacation and I already have a headache. Feels kind of depressing."

She was probably hinting she wanted something fun to happen.

"Wanna go to an amusement park?"

Emily Yoon lit up instantly.

"Amusement park? Yes! I love rides!"

We left the restaurant, took the subway, and headed to the park. The train was packed, but whenever a seat opened, I'd dash to grab it and offer it to them. They both gave me thumbs-up, calling me a perfect gentleman.

Spending the day like ordinary friends felt amazing. Today, I was determined to make it a truly fun date with both of them.

At the park, we rode thrilling attractions, watched the parade, and laughed all day. When we got on scary rides, timid Sarah Park would cover her eyes and scream, while Emily Yoon threw her hands up, cheering with excitement. They were complete opposites.

"Thanks... it's been ages since I had this much fun."

"Me too, seriously."

"All this excitement made me hungry. Let's get something delicious."

We headed to a restaurant and ordered generously—steak, pasta, salad—and a bottle of wine.

"Aren't we ordering too much? It'll be expensive..."

"Don't worry, I'll cover it."

"Did you win the lottery or something?"

"I got paid for tutoring. And today was fun because of you two—this is the least I can do. Haha..."

I did tutor part-time, but my dad, who ran a business, also gave me a generous allowance. Plus, he gave me a credit card he rarely monitored—something he kept from my mom.

"Let's eat!"

"Me too..."

The wine was delicious, and we sipped it casually. Before I knew it, the first bottle was empty. We ordered another, and soon, we were all a little drunk.

Emily Yoon excused herself to go to the bathroom, leaving me alone with Sarah Park.

"You and Emily Yoon seem really close."

"We've known each other for over ten years."

"You're so different—personality, looks… it's kind of fascinating."

Sarah Park answered, her eyes slightly glazed.

"I… really like Emily Yoon."

"Wait, do you mean—?"

"Hee hee… not that way. But girls… we kind of admire bold, confident girls. You know?"

"I get it. Like how someone as feminine as you might be drawn to someone outgoing like Emily Yoon?"

"In high school, so many girls liked Emily Yoon—not just me."

"Really..."

"Still… David Lee… between me and Emily Yoon… who did you like more?"

Suddenly, I sobered up.

"What are you talking about?"

"Last night…"

"Sarah Park, you don't mean—"

"I woke up in the middle of the night and saw you… with Emily Yoon."

She knew. She knew about me and Emily Yoon.

"You knew?"

"I woke up while you were… doing it."

I felt like a criminal.

"I'm sorry… but why did you pretend to be asleep?"

"I don't know… I didn't want to interrupt…"

"..."

"I actually thought of you as a really good friend until tonight… but seeing you with Emily Yoon—someone I really like—I feel kind of confused..."

"I'm really sorry."

"I don't know if I lost you to Emily Yoon… or if I lost Emily Yoon to you… hee hee."

"You lost Emily Yoon to me?"

"I'm trying to be cool about it, okay?"

"..."

"And since you shared her with me… in a way…"

"You really like her, don't you?"

Her face flushed as she glanced at me sideways.

"This girl..."

"Haha, okay, okay, I get it..."

"But I'm curious… who was better?"

"There's no 'better'…"

"Emily Yoon's prettier, more popular, probably better at sex… and in the end, you were clearly more drawn to her..."

Sarah Park admired Emily Yoon—but there was jealousy too.

"No, that's not it."

"..."

"When I first saw you, I was completely smitten by your purity."

She seemed unaware of just how beautiful she really was.

"Pfft… more flattery..."

"I mean it."

"But in the end, you still went to Emily Yoon."

I should've felt guilty, but I didn't.

"No, I was just drunk… I wasn't thinking clearly..."

"But you two looked good together. It was intense… hee hee..."

"..."

"When you had her legs up against the wall—I was shocked."

"I'm sorry… I shouldn't have done that with you right there..."

"It's fine. I said I'd be cool about it, didn't I?"

"No… the truth is… even when I was with Emily Yoon… I kept thinking about you."

"Really?"

Her face turned red.

"What were you thinking about?"

"That time in the bathroom, with the shower running..."

Her cheeks burned even deeper.

"And… I imagined the three of us… together..."

I'd said too much—too honest under the influence. Sarah Park froze, unable to speak, then turned her head away. Just then, Emily Yoon returned.

"What were you two talking about so seriously? What's going on?"

Sarah Park played it cool.

"Wow, I'm so drunk from the wine. Ah..."

"Wine is alcohol, you know."

"Right… it tasted so good, I didn't realize I was getting drunk."

She was definitely tipsy.

"Let's head out now..."

"Let's. Today was so much fun, and the food was amazing. Thanks to you, David Lee… thank you."

"Thank me? I'm the one who got to hang out with two beautiful girls—I had more fun."

"Ugh, that smooth talk… I set you up with Sarah Park because I believed you!"

"Heh..."

We walked through the night streets. Emily Yoon was fine, but Sarah Park was clearly more drunk than she let on.

"Sarah Park, you okay?"

"Yeah, of course..."

She said she was fine, but her steps were wobbly.

"David Lee, can you carry her? Just a little farther to the subway station..."

"If I can't carry such a slim girl, I'm not much of a man."

"She's tall, so she'll be heavy. Hee hee..."

She insisted she was okay, but her unsteady walk worried me. I finally hoisted her onto my back.

I could feel her breasts against my back. With every step, they pressed into me.

"Being carried like this… it feels like we're lovers."

I smiled faintly at her, then glanced at Emily Yoon to see if she noticed.

Carrying tall Sarah Park, she kept slipping down, and each time I lifted her, I felt the soft curve of her ass against my back. And with her in shorts, my hands gripped her bare thighs—my cock began to stiffen.

I had to keep walking with a bulge in my pants, unable to hide it. Emily Yoon shot me a sharp look. I felt embarrassed—but also strangely excited.

Soon we reached the subway station. The moment we got on the train, Sarah Park leaned on my shoulder and fell asleep. Her sleeping face looked so innocent, so childlike.

When we got off, I carried her again. Emily Yoon snapped at her.

"Hey, you're faking it, aren't you? You're not that drunk!"

Sarah Park ignored her, tightening her arms around my neck. Maybe this was her quiet revenge—being cute in front of Emily Yoon, who had just had sex with me.

We reached their place, and I finally set Sarah Park down. She immediately curled up on the bed, exhausted. I was drenched in sweat from carrying her.

"David Lee, you really worked hard. This girl—can't even handle her liquor..."

"Nah, carrying a beautiful girl? Felt great."

"Heh, you're such a pervert..."

Emily Yoon gave me a look, eyes narrowing at my still-hard cock.

"No, it's not like that—"

My face burned.

"You must be hot. Let me get you a cold drink."

I didn't want to go home yet, so I made an excuse to stay.

"Actually… got any beer left? I'm sweaty—could really go for a cold one."

"We drank it all… but now that you mention it, I want one too. Let's go buy some together?"

Yes! I'd get to stay with them a little longer.

"I'll go get it."

I headed for the door, but Emily Yoon followed.

"No, let's go together."

We left Sarah Park sleeping and walked to the convenience store. Emily Yoon spoke up.

"Actually… Sarah Park knows about us. About last night."

"Yeah, she told me earlier—when you were in the bathroom."

"So she already told you."

"She also said she really likes you..."

"Seriously? She told you that? She's usually so quiet, but with you… she opens up a lot."

"Don't you know? I'm her hero. Haha..."

"She really does like me a lot."

"You two… your vibe is kind of weird. Are you…?"

"No, nothing like that. I was actually kind of a tomboy in high school."

"Hard to imagine. You're so sexy now."

"Sarah Park's so delicate, fair skin, beautiful face… I always felt so rough next to her—dark skin, loud, messy..."

"Still… something's off about you two. Haha..."

"I told you, nothing's going on."

But it was clear—there was definitely something more than friendship between them.

"So… Sarah Park must've been hurt because of us, right?"

"She said she doesn't care, but… she seemed shocked."

"Yeah, probably."

"She used to believe sex should only happen with love. But because of me—someone who treats sex so casually—she's started changing."

"How so?"

"Like sleeping with you that first night… and after seeing us last night, guess what she said?"

"What?"

"She said… she wanted to join in."

"Ugh..."

"Sarah Park's got spice, more than me… hee hee..."

My head spun. When she said shared, did she mean… what I thought? The fantasy of a threesome flared up inside me again.

At the store, I slipped a bottle of hard liquor into the bag when Emily Yoon wasn't looking. Just in case—maybe, if the night took a turn, we'd have a chance.

Back at their place, Sarah Park was awake.

"Sarah Park. Feeling better?"

"Yeah. But why does it feel like every time I fall asleep, you two disappear?"

"We just went to buy a few beers."

"Sounds refreshing. I want one too."

"Of course."

We started drinking in their apartment, laughing about the day—the rides, the food, the fun.

"Going to the park, eating together… it really feels like we're real friends. Hee hee..."

"We are friends."

"Then… what happened between us… is that just a memory now?"

"What, you wolf?"

Our first meeting was sex—but now, we could be friends. Maybe we already were. Friends who could talk about sex without shame.

After a few beers, I kept needing the bathroom.

"Be right back."

I finished peeing and returned to find them in a fit of laughter.

"What? What's so funny while I'm gone?"

"We thought it was raining. Pffft—hahaha!"

They must've heard my stream hitting the toilet.

"Yours is big, so the sound's loud too. Hahaha!"

"Come on, don't embarrass me like that. Haha..."

"But Sarah Park said—he really is big. Hahaha!"

"Hey!"

"And now look at her—you turned her into this. Haha!"

I couldn't help but laugh. Two girls joking about my cock—it was ridiculous.

"Why's your face red? What were you imagining? seriously?"

"Ah, nothing..."

Sarah Park's face flushed too. For a moment, I knew—we were all thinking the same thing.
