Selfish Desires (1)

1.

When it ca to night markets, there was one thing one just couldnt leave out.

Food.

Surprisingly, so of the smugglers did open up so food stalls in one of the corners of the contact point.

They were more like street cafes rather than fancy restaurants though.

The chairs and the tables were made of wood, and it was clear how aged they looked. Instead of being served in fancy silver and porcelain plates, the food was served on plastic ones instead.

In Siwoos mind, witches were the kind of people whod want everything to look fancy, so he just couldnt imagine how theyd ever eat in these stalls.

But contrary to his expectations, there were eight of them sitting there, eating.

Are those really profitable? Honestly, I cant see it.

He whispered to Sharon.

Well, yeah, because they arent really selling the food here.

What do you an?

After hearing Sharons words and looking through the nu, he found out that there wasnt any fancy food listed there.

Green bean fritters with chickpeas, seasoned with cloves and garlic, stir-fried with olive oil.

Chicken broth boiled with spices, leeks, and various mushrooms.

Salmon pie that was shaped into a fish-shape, with salmon filet, ginger and sage in it.

Simred cod seasoned with white wine and seed mustard

All those dishes looked so ordinary that the food they served in hotels would look more appealing than them.

Ah, I see.

But it didnt take long for him to notice sothing.

The ingredients they used were different from this worlds, probably to match with Gehennas style.

They were stuck in the Middle Ages, the era when they used to put heavy emphasis on the ingredients natural taste more than anything. This was also why they used cloves and vinegar a lot in so of these dishes.

In other words, those werent the dishes youd normally see in the modern world.

You can say that theyre selling the nostalgia value? As you already know, so of the Exiles used to live in Gehenna at one point, like , so they could relive those mories with these dishes. And, for those who had always been an Exile since day one, theyd definitely be tempted to try the food from the land they had only been hearing about or sothing like that.

So its just like if you were to open a kimchi restaurant in the Middle East or sothing.

Yeah, thats a good comparison.

Right, there were tis when I missed chicken and coke so badly back in Gehenna.

Maybe it was the case too with so of those Exiles. Gehenna isnt a place they could return to, after all

After that, the pair sat down and ordered their food.

Ive been feeling it for a while, buttheyre staring at

Theyve only been glancing at when we were walking, but as soon as I sat down, they imdiately stared at openly like this.

Well, I guess its only natural, huh?

After he obtained a spirit body, Siwoos face beca even more handso than before.

There were even tis when hed admire his face for a mont in front of a mirror.

Not to ntion that he wore a rather eye-catching accessory on his face; an eyepatch.

But, the biggest reason of them all was the fact that they already knew who he was.

The witchs society was small, so any kind of rumors would spread quickly among them.

No matter where they lived, whether it was in remote places or next to witch point itself, they would have heard of the rumors.

Because for the first ti in history, a male witch had appeared.

Not only that, the head of the Gemini, Agatha and Tiphereth household, all put him in their protection.

The news spread to them all in a single night.

And now that they saw a man loitering around with a witch in the contact point, there was only one person whod co to their mind.

Dont mind them, they wont do anything to you.

Siwoo didnt exactly mind about them knowing his identity.

But, he did feel burdened because of the gazes. Then again, who wouldnt when a group of beauties openly stared at them?

Not long after, their food arrived. Siwoo ordered so green bean fritters, sothing that he hadnt eaten in a while. As he was about to put so of them in his mouth, a witch suddenly sat next to him.

Her movents were so natural, almost making him think that they had t before.

Excuse .

Her hair and eyes were of the sa color; dark blue, just like an ultramarine.

Clinging tightly to her body was a dress that showcased her curves perfectly.

The area under her eyes was painted with a colorful tear-like pattern.

Mind-blowingly pretty were the first words that ca to his mind when he saw her.

Arent you the male witch everyone has been talking about? Can I know your na? Mine is Cybele Periwinkle.

The witch imdiately introduced herself. Her actions were so bold that it was obvious what she was up to.

She gently rubbed her bosom, which was comparable to Sharons in volu, against Siwoos arm, as she whispered her words in a seductive voice.

So, are you free right now?

She did all that while completely disregarding Sharons presence.

And of course, our resident witch didnt take this provocation lightly.

Sharon dropped the fork she had been using to tear up the chickpeas and imdiately went ham on the other witch.

You! What are you doing?!

Calm down, calm down, Im just here to talk~

As she said that, the witch slipped her hand onto Siwoos thigh, stroking it.

A bold move, but it was also one that people wouldnt normally notice.

After hearing all those rumors, my interests were piqued. This is the first ti Ive seen a male possessing a spirit body.

On the receiving end of all these sensual acts, Siwoo could only sit there dumbfoundedly.

Because of how close their bodies were to each other, Periwinkles unique scent perated through the air, intruding on his defenseless nostrils.

Almost imdiately, his lower body reacted.

It was as if her scent was created to invoke a mans libido, like a strong pheromone, regardless of Siwoos own wills and thoughts, he felt a strong feeling of arousal.

Get away from him! Right now!

Why are you so angry? Im just sitting next to himhm?

Out of embarrassnt, Siwoo crossed his legs to hide his erection.

And when he made a move like that, it was obvious that Periwinkle would notice it. She took a glance at his crotch before letting out a playful smirk.

So, what kind of relationship do you two have? Are you two close? Like, childhood friends or sothing?

Sorry, but can you not cling too close to ?

But, youve already grown so big?

H-Huh?

When she heard those words, Sharons entire body froze.

Because she clearly understood what Periwinkle ant by grown so big.

Imdiately, Siwoo racked his brain, trying to make up an excuse.

Firstly, it was obvious that as a witch, Periwinkle was stunningly attractive, so, it wasnt like he was a horndog whod lusted after every woman he ca across.

If he was, he wouldnt feel so embarrassed after realizing how his body reacted to this physical stimulation.

He didnt want to create misunderstandings between the two witches.

Y-You know, it just happens sotis I-I didnt even realize it happened until you ntioned it

Hm Lets do this! Why dont you follow to my hotel to take care of it? Im quite confident in my skills, you know? At least I wont be any worse than the young witch over there~

Her words drew him in.

She hadnt used any magic, potion, or anything like that.

But, a strong impulse spread through his mind, as if he was under the effect of a love potion.

Thank you, but no thanks.

Only after Siwoo desperately tried to hold his urge and gave her a resolute refusal did Periwinkle give up trying to convince him with her body.

Then, she turned her gaze to Sharon, who was still dumbstruck, unable to say anything.

Dont worry, I have no intention to monopolize you, sweetie. You can bring her with us too. What do you think?

Hell no.

Maybe because it was his consideration toward Sharon that made him refuse that offer.

This sort of thing was normal among witches, as they didnt see n as anything more than play toys.

After hearing his refusal, and Sharons reaction, as she kept her mouth shut without saying anything, Periwinkle completely gave up her advances and handed Siwoo her business card instead.

At the very least she wasnt a ruthless witch, unlike Della.

I dont hand this card to just anyone. If you need for sothing, or if you change your mind, feel free to contact , okay?

After the witch left, the atmosphere around the pair turned awkward.

Suddenly, Sharon slamd her fork on the table, creating a loud bang!.

She hadnt even finished her al yet.

Lets go ho.

Siwoo said nothing, only silently stared at her.

I didnt expect shed react this way

No, why the fuck did I get a boner back then?

Even after he gave it so thinking, he still found it strange.

His body wouldnt normally react like that, at least not in public.

It gave off the sa reaction as when Sharon was rubbing his dick directly with her hands.

As if all the sexual desires he never thought he had was dragged out from the depths of his heart.

He didnt have the heart to look at Sharon in the eyes after all that, so when they started walking, he only silently walked behind her with her head dropped down.

For your information, Sharons silent treatnt toward him persisted throughout the taxi ride to Seoul and more.

2.

Im going to continue my research. You go get so rest.

Sharon, its not what you think

Unfortunately, Sharon refused to listen to Siwoos excuse and slamd the door to her room on his face.

And so, she went back to the bed where he spent a hot and passionate night with her.

But, knowing that fact only made her feel uncomfortable, so she curled his body up on the bed.

Haah

She was angry for so reason.

And terribly upset.

A little bit of sadness and depression also mixed in.

Strictly speaking, it wasnt like they were in an official relationship or anything.

And she genuinely thought that she had no right to selfishly monopolize him or restrain him from doing anything.

Because it wasnt like she had done sothing for him all this while.

Well, she might have done a few things, but those were still nothing compared to what he had done for her.

That was why it was simply shaless of her to try and pretend as if she was his girlfriend.

However, even though she could accept those ideas in her mind, deep in her heart, she wished to keep Siwoo to herself.

That was the reason why she was angry when she saw that witch started to seduce him and he seed to be falling for that seduction as well.

If he just brushed it off calmly, I wouldnt act like this!

But, his face looked so red back then! And not to ntiondown there

Even though you just did it with yesterday

She muttered bitterly.

This wasnt the Joseon Era, where having sex ant that you loved each other.

Besides, the reason why they did that yesterday in the first place was because she pushed herself onto him one-sidedly.

And even so, she was the one who benefitted from it the most as she was able to call out to the previously unresponsive parts of her brand.

She really wasnt in the position to demand him to take responsibility for having a sex with her.

Until now, she had been hiding behind the word friend and used it to stick to him as close as she could.

There was no reason for her to be this anxious, and she couldnt imagine him suddenly leaving her side.

But, as ti passed, things also started to change.

Now, she wasnt the only one who knew that he was the first male witch in the world.

Three great witches even vouched for his identity and placed him under their protection.

He was the only male witch in this world, he was so handso that it was unreal, and his backing was incredibly strong.

And most importantly, unlike other males, he wouldnt die of old age.

Just like that, he beca the most sought after male among the witches, as he was the first male who could accompany them for their entire lifeti.

In the first place, the reason why witches didnt form deep relationships with males was because they were afraid that their beloved would age and die, but they wouldnt experience such a loss with him as their partner.

Today, Periwinkle was the only one who dared to approach him, but it was obvious that more of them would co to him in the future.

And so, ca the question; Could she protect him from those witches?

The only advantage she had over them was the fact that she got to know him earlier than them.

She herself was only a decently powerful witch of the 17th rank. She was also in a huge debt and an Exile.

Compared to the witch that seduced him just now, Periwinkle, she was nothing. Not only was Periwinkle a grand witch, soone who had reached the 20th rank, she was also a rich witch who owned several five-star hotels all over the modern world.

And most importantly, she wasnt an Exile. She was a legitimate citizen of Gehenna who was only coming out here to have fun.

Then, she started to imagine sothing.

Siwoo!

In her thoughts, she was running.

Her destination was a space station.

There was a rocket inside, where Siwoo and Periwinkle were sitting in, waiting, as the rocket was about to take off.

Siwoo! A-Ah!

But, she tripped herself and the docunts in her hand, where the details of her debt was written, fell onto the ground.

Siwoo! Dont leave !

Haha! It was nice living with you, Sharon! Really, Ive enjoyed everything we did, but now I am the husband of the Noble Periwinkle! She taught magic better than you did! Also, were going to the International Space Station for our honeymoon! Just for the trip alone she already spent 60 billion won, but thats still way better than soone who could only sell her body to , isnt it?

Sorry, Evergreen, but you should already know that this man deserves soone better than a bug who cant even pay her own debt. I hope that youll know your place from now on and stop coming near him again. Ohohoho!

Ahahaha!

Ohohoho!

Her imagination ended like that, filled with Siwoos and Periwinkles high-pitched laughters.

Suddenly, a sense of possessiveness ca to her heart.

She began to feel anxious toward the possibility that Siwoo might be taken away by soone.

But at the sa ti, she reprimanded herself, telling herself that it was wrong to feel this way when all this while, she had never given anything to him.

And that feeling pricked her heart, to the point that her eyes started to tear up.
