Breathing Life into Real Dolls

1.

After our first time, Jinah and I continued to have sex throughout the night.

I didn’t say it out loud, but I felt slightly pressured to make Jinah’s first experience as memorable as possible.

Therefore, I pushed myself a little harder than usual, even more than when I was with Serena, and as a result, Jinah fainted during our intimacy.

When I saw Jinah trembling and rolling her eyes backward as if she was electrocuted, I thought, ‘Oh, I messed up…’

About an hour later, when Jinah woke up, she smiled softly.

“How many women in the world do you think can say they went all the way to the point of fainting during their first time?”

“……”

“I really feel blessed. Captain, you are truly… exceptional even in bed.”

And then, we lay down on the bed with the blankets pulled aside, softly touching each other’s bodies, continuing our casual conversation.

We talked about the D-Mart shelter’s future, the expedition team’s plans, developing abilities, personal goals, and so on… Then, Jinah suddenly asked a question out of the blue.

“How many women do you plan to date, Captain?”

“How many? That’s a weird way to phrase it… I’m only involved with you and Rena right now, and I don’t particularly plan to add more.”

“What if women like me approach you first?”

“Hmm……”

It was a question I’d never considered. Naturally, I didn’t typically worry about ‘What if a new girl confesses to me tomorrow? Should I consider her as a girlfriend candidate?’…

However, Jinah spoke with a serious expression.

“Think about it. From what I’ve observed, quite a few women have feelings for you.”

“What…? Me? Even when Rena, my girlfriend, is obviously clinging to me everywhere we go?”

“Starting with me, for instance, Captain.”

“Ah.”

Come to think of it, she was right. But no matter how credible Jinah’s words might be, it was still hard to believe.

There were quite a few women who had feelings for me? So, I should think in advance about how many girlfriends I should have…?

Jinah’s serious face relaxed, and she stroked my face with a kind expression as if she was comforting me.

“This might be selfish of me, but I hope Captain holds many women in his embrace. It could be a salvation for them, just as I am utterly happy right now.”

“……”

It was an embarrassing confession. Jinah was saying that she was immensely happy just being held by me…

If I continued to look into her kind eyes, which seemed to be ready to accept anything, I felt like I might get aroused again, so I quickly turned away.

“Hehe.”

Jinah chuckled once, then spoke again.

“And Rena, your girlfriend, seems to want that too, doesn’t she?”

“…Huh? What are you talking about?”

“I’m more stubborn than I appear. So when I wanted to give my first time to you, Captain, I thought I should at least try to say it, even if you already had a girlfriend. I guess a normal person wouldn’t think like that.”

“Indeed… You might’ve gotten slapped if it wasn’t someone like Rena.”

“Hehe. Right. But Rena told me this, ‘Of course it’s okay! Please have a lot of sex with Doha and have many children! I would love for Doha to have lots and lots of children!’”

Jinah said, mimicking Serena’s tone.

That information was shocking. Did Serena always think that way?

So Serena had no possessiveness… Was this also due to the effects of her [Devotion] trait?

“That’s why I could ask Captain. But honestly, even if Rena hadn’t given her permission, I would’ve tried to seduce you secretly. I didn’t want to give up.”

Saying that Jinah snuggled up to me.

I silently stroked her hair. A woman confessing her undying love and not wanting to give up on me. How could she not be adorable?

After resting in my embrace for a while, Jinah suddenly pulled my neck closer and whispered into my ear.

“Captain-”

It was the ASMR sensation she had given me during the breastfeeding play.

“Next time you come, I’ll prepare a piercing kit. You’ll have to pierce it nicely for me.♡”

“…Ah.”

What followed was a chaotic lovemaking session.

It was summer.

2.

Baek Seona.

Lately, she had been living a life that was more than fulfilling.

Not in materialistic terms. Even if the supplies at the mart were abundant, it couldn’t be more than what the world had before its downfall. One had to be economical.

But she felt spiritually fulfilled.

In a world where the outside was filled with zombies eager to bite into humans, how many could be fortunate enough to have their entire family survive, meet, and dream about the future?

Within this zombie apocalypse, it was probably an immense fortune that belonged to the top 1%.

And all of this was thanks to the salvation provided by Kim Doha.

‘Doha oppa…’

Kim Doha.

From the time Baek Seona nearly died fighting zombies 3 to 1 in a convenience store to when she received a message sent by Choi Cheolnam to the time he saved the people in the mart.

Truly, there wasn’t a single event where she hadn’t received help from Kim Doha. To her, Kim Doha was the light, the salt, and salvation.

She had made a promise to him.

“I have nothing to offer you in return for your help… but I can offer myself. I will do whatever you ask of me. Whether you decide to kill me or spare me, roll me in a trash bin, or use me however you please. I’m willing to live as a slave for the rest of my life.”

It was a promise made by Baek Seona herself.

And Kim Doha had perfectly granted her request.

So, by the promise, she was already a slave to Kim Doha.

But…

‘Doha oppa… Why haven’t you said anything?’

It seemed Kim Doha had forgotten about their promise. Even after a week since the incident, he hadn’t mentioned it.

Furthermore, lately, the number of women showing interest in Kim Doha has increased.

Baek Seona kept an eye on each of these women who lingered around and approached Kim Doha.

Firstly, there was Kim Doha’s deputy, Lee Jinah.

“Captain, how should we handle this?”

“Oh, this part here should be…”

At first, Lee Jinah seemed like just a loyal subordinate. But in recent days, her physical closeness to Kim Doha had increased.

Even during their work-related discussions…

“Eh, Jinah?”

“Captain, excuse me for a moment.”

Suddenly, she’d catch his ear and whisper into it while standing on tiptoe!

This seemed to be an excessive level of intimacy for a mere professional relationship.

And the second one, Ibaraki Yume.

“Daicho, Daicho, Daicho-!”

“Ah, Yume, what is it?”

“Why? Can’t I call you if there’s nothing?”

“No… it’s not that.”

“Actually, there’s something. I thought of a better way to use the barrier, Daicho!”

“What? Tell me about it.”

“So, this goes like this…”

“Yeah, yeah… What? That’s nonsense.”

“What? What’s nonsense? Woof woof?”

To Baek Seona’s eyes, the girl was utilizing her innocent and naive charm as a weapon to approach Kim Doha actively.

She didn’t try for any physical intimacy, but it might as well have been considered aggressive flirting between the sexes! …or so Baek Seona thought.

Lastly, the third one, Yoo Hee.

At the moment, Yoo Hee didn’t seem romantically interested in Kim Doha.

However, the problem was her cat, Nyariel.

“Ah, ah! Nyariel! Where are you going-!”

“Huh? Back again?”

“Meow- Meow- Meeeow-”

“Yes, yes. You want to be held?”

Nyariel, a white cat, was no different from Yoo Hee’s partner in both combat and daily life.

Occasionally, Nyariel would rush to where Kim Doha was and seek affection. When he would gently stroke her head, she would instantly purr.

“Purr- Purr-”

“Ah, Captain! I’m sorry. Nyariel again…!”

“It’s fine. She’s cute. I like it.”

“Why does she act like this only around you and not others?”

“She must like me. Nyariel, want to be my cat from today?”

“What? No matter how much of a Captain you are, if you try to take Nyariel away, I won’t let it slide!”

“But Nyariel says she likes me more?”

“Meeow-”

“That, that can’t be…! Nyariel! Look at me! That’s not true, right?”

The relationship between the two, which originally wouldn’t have had much in common, was rapidly developing because of Nyariel.

Every time they met, it was evident they were getting a bit closer.

Seeing this, Baek Seona grew anxious.

‘Doha oppa… Have you completely forgotten the promise I made…?’

Baek Seona herself hadn’t realized, but she subconsciously perceived the notion of becoming a “slave” in a romantic, or perhaps sexual, manner.

And she was trying to alleviate her infatuation towards Kim Doha by using this notion of becoming his “slave”. That’s why she felt anxious seeing other women around him.

‘Ah, what should I do… Should I consult with Rena…?’

In her utmost anxiety, Baek Seona visited Serena in the middle of the night.

Going to a man’s girlfriend to get advice on seducing him was quite a twisted thought process… but Baek Seona and Serena didn’t have an ordinary relationship.

They were comrades who combined their strength to seduce Kim Doha.

Baek Seona still couldn’t forget the touch of Kim Doha, who had caressed her intimate part that day (though, in reality, she had made him do it).

After consulting Serena…

“Um… So you mean, Seona unnie, too many girls are approaching Doha?”

“To be honest… yes.”

“I know. I watch Doha all day.”

“As expected…! You noticed? What were you planning to do, Rena?”

“Um, I don’t particularly plan to help. I just intend to watch.”

“…Huh?”

Baek Seona first felt a sense of discomfort here.

“Aren’t you bothered by those girls flirting with him…?”

“Why would I be bothered? It’s good if Doha loves many excellent women and has many children.”

“What, what…?”

“You like Doha too, right, Seona unnie? You want to have sex with Doha, right? Then why not try being more aggressive like those girls?”

“Ah…”

At this moment, Baek Seona realized the mistake she had made.

‘To Rena, those women and I are the same… Why hadn’t I realized this before…?’

Then, she felt deeply impressed by Serena’s vast understanding, which seemed as expansive as the sea.

“…Rena. So, you’re saying I can be more aggressive towards Doha oppa…?”

“Of course. It would be great if someday you, Doha, and I could have sex together!”

“Heh…”

Seonah Baek blushed at Serena’s straightforward remark. However, she became gloomy again, thinking about her relationship with Kim Doha.

“Actually, I’ve already tried some physical contact. Subtly hugging his arm, stuff like that… Doha oppa didn’t react at all. Does he not like me?”

“Why be so vague? Just tell him you want to have sex.”

“What, what? How can you say that…?”

“Jinah unnie did that, you know? And they’ve already had sex. It was her first time, and she enjoyed it so much she fainted.”

“…What?”

Seonah Baek felt a third, soul-separating shock.

‘Doha oppa and Jinah unnie… They’ve already had sex?’

That day, Seona’s world collapsed.
