Familial Love or Forbidden Desire

16. Familial Love or Forbidden Desire

Yumi Koei headed up to the second floor, at the same moment, Sunna walked out from Arman's room with a flushed face. It's not strange to see Sunna coming out from her little brother's room. Arman is attached with Sunna the most, and Sunna also dotted him verily. Her daughter has a close relationship with the boy as if they're siblings. But with how flushed her complexion, it only serves as a suspicion signal. 

"Okaerinasai ... mom, you come home early today."

"Ehm, I let Harada-san finish all my work." there's no way Yumi didn't notice the strangeness in Sunna's appearance, but keeping the positive thinking in her mind, she asked, "Sunna, your complexion looks flushed ... are you alright? Did you catch a cold?"

"I ... I'm okay. Don't worry, I'm fine. Not sick." she shook her head in fluster. Unknowingly, her face turns redder, blushing from her neck to the earlobe. She recalled what she has just done with Arman and had a jittery feeling of guilty conscience in front of her mother. "I'll get change first." 

Sunna walked hurriedly to her room as if trying to run away. When she passed Yumi, the mother whiffed some smell that she can't be any more familiar with. It was the smell of something that women leaked out when they're aroused. The smell of pheromones.

Yumi knitted her brows as she looked at her daughter, and then she turned her head on Arman's room. And then, a knowing smile flitted across her lips. A devious and charming smile.

Yumi knocked on the door to Arman's bedroom and asked. "Arman~kun, can I come in?" 

"Eh, ah ... ermm, come on in, aunt."

The door open, Arman sat on his study desk starting up his laptop. Yumi has already smelled the rich hormonal fluid from this room, proving her suspicion that they were doing it ... or maybe almost doing it in this room. 

"Arman-kun, why you haven't returned the greeting?" Yumi suddenly said with a playful but angry look on her face. 

"Ehm sorry, aunt. I was ... I didn't hear you." Arman tried to explain it, but in the end, just let out some crappy excuses. "Okaerinasai, aunt Yumi."[modern_footnote]In case you don't know; Tadaima means I'm home, and Okaerinasai is 'welcome home.' It's Japanese btw, and Yumi Koei in this story is a Japanese person.[/modern_footnote]

"Well, it's alright then." she walked and stood behind him. 

Suddenly, she hugged him from behind and closed her eyes to enjoy the scent slowly. When she approached Arman, she got affected by the evaporated pre-cum and his sweat that lingers in the surrounding air. She found out that the room smells pretty good, and he exuded a stronger fragrance. Even better than the last time she hugged him back in the gym after the awakening.

"Ermm ... aunt Yumi?" Arman asked, puzzled by the sudden hug that comes out of nowhere.

Just like Sunna, the mother Yumi is a hugger ... and she loves hugging him whenever she could. It was so hard to contain his desire when she showered a close skinship like this.

"It's just one night, but without you ... I feel something missing in our house. It's great that you're fine. I've been so worried about you."

Arman felt a jolt in his heart, the tender care that his aunt has shown him melted something in his heart. He raised one of his hands and held her jade hand lightly.

"Thank you, and ... tadaima, aunt." 

"Hehe, okaerinasai." she snuggled and buried her beautiful face on his hair, sniffing it like a little puppy. She was clueless why his body becomes this fragrant, but still, she whispered the thing that currently plagued her mind. "I miss this scent."

"Ermm ... that ..." even Arman was taken off guard with that. 

He knows Yumi enjoys indulging herself by sniffing him, but this is the first time she said something so embarrassing out loud. This kind of kinship was not something normal for a mother and son, it's more like two lovers. However, they did it like there's nothing wrong with it. Which in fact, makes it look very wrong. This whole situation aroused something inside of him. 

"Aunt, I've bought the tofu you asked this noon."

"Hmm ... and as you've requested, I'll cook your favorite hotpot for tonight's diner," she said softly. 

Yumi is a successful businesswoman. However, be it cooking and miscellaneous house chores... she still has the time to do it by herself without hiring a home assistant. Of course, there are still the home-cleaner autobots, drones, and stuff to keep the apartment clean and tidy.

"And thank you for this noon, I'm sorry if my request was excessive."

"About Li Yongming's son? Don't worry, Proteus is just some newly established company ... their roots aren't that deep. And most of all, I've been eyeing them for some time. You just called at the right moment and pushed their demise early. In fact, I should be thankful to you." she twirled his hair as she spoke cruel words in a lighthearted tone.

"Is ... that so? I'm glad to be of help."

"By the way, not long after you've called me, I heard that Li Yongming received a letter from the Judicial Court. Is this ... also your doing?"

"En, I called some help from the military to see if they can revoke his title as a technocrat."

"You made a deal with the military? Really, but how?"

"I ... sell something to them, in exchange for the favor."

"What did you sell to them? Your land and house?"

"No, how can I sell that? It's the only thing my parents left behind. It's my ... Supercell, I sold some part of my body and let them study it."

"They want to dissect you!? Hold on, every Supercell that is extracted out from the super's body will be a dead cell. What's the point in doing that?" she unknowingly raised her voice.

"Ermm ... my Supercell is a bit special. It can survive and stay alive outside my body for twelve hours if it's in a proper environment if it's—" 

Yumi placed her index finger on his lips to shut it up. She remembers he said that his superpower ability is confidential information. It surprised her that Arman said it without caution.

"You don't have to explain it if you don't want to, you know? Didn't you say that your superpower is confidential information? You should learn how to keep your secret to yourself."

"... but I just want to reassure you. They won't dissect me, and there's no way I'd agree with it." he kneaded Yumi's soft hand.

"Uhm, thank you for your trust ... but you should know that there's some secret that can't be shared with other people."

"En ... I'll remember your word."

She reluctantly stood up and ruffled his hair, she said, "Don't trust the military too much."

"... why?"

Her expression turned solemn, she said in a serious tone. "It's ... just a reminder. You can't put your hundred percent trust in the other, especially to those you didn't know inside out. It is not something you should do."

"Then, aunt Yumi ..." Arman suddenly called, he turned his chair and faced the beautiful mature woman. In a concise voice, he asked. "Can I trust you?" 

Yumi Koei looked up to him and thought about it for a little, "... hmm. Trust is something mutual between both parties, and that is the foundation of cooperation. I helped you to deal with Proteus because I trust you that you have your own reason, though in my perspective it's too rushed. Which mean I need to make some adjustment on the original plan, I did it because of you. We've been living together for three years and I know you since you were a cute baby I can hold in my arm. Is this ... not enough for you to trust me?"

"... I don't know, that's why I asked." Arman shook his head lightly.

She strode forward and pulled him to another hug. Rubbing his black hair.

"I love you, Arman. But I don't like speaking nonsensical thing like this, it leads to nowhere. I care a lot about you like my child. Know that there's no way I would ever harm you. As for the military, what do you know about them? If you know nothing about them, how could you trust them? I just want to instill this mindset in you."

Enveloped by her springy bosom, he submerged his head into her hug and whiffed the mature scent emanating from her. He returned the hug and said. 

"I ... am sorry for asking that. I know you've loved me. But ... you're right, I should've believed in you. I love you too, aunt."

"En. I'm happy that you feel the same. Can you trust me? I don't know ... but believe in your own judgment." she kissed his forehead lightly before leaving the room.

But even after she left, Arman was still in a daze as he looked at the closed door. He placed his hand on his forehead and put on a puzzled face. For somehow or another, when Yumi kissed his forehead ... there was a jolt of electricity in all of his body. It was so intense that he leaked out a shot of pre-cum on his semi-erect dick. It's so strange that he becomes engrossed thinking about the reason.

'I did plan on devouring the mother hen before the two chicks, but what's with this feeling ... why I got aroused so much just because she kissed me in the forehead? I'm not a virgin boy anymore. This is illogical.'

After thinking for some time, Arman can't think of the reason he becomes like this. He shook his head and put the matter of the back his mind. He glanced at his laptop for a moment and rushed to lock the door before taking a tissue box and the earphone.

"Let's eat ... itadakimasu!"

"Itadakimasu ..."

We had our hotpot for the first time in a while. But the atmosphere around the dining room is kinda ... awkward. I know what's made the air around the dining table become this awkward. 

I thought a lot of inappropriate things about aunt Yumi after she kissed my forehead. And because of that, I even watched my secret collection and jerked off some of the load in my room. I was so ashamed and unable to face her straight when I saw her in the kitchen preparing for dinner. 

As for the Koei sisters, I think they still thought about what we did this afternoon. After all, they glanced at me from time to time.

"What's wrong with you three, keeping silent all the time. Is the dish not tasty? I think it tastes alright, though." aunt Yumi asked, furrowing her brows.

Right now, she's already in her housewife mode. Wearing a light green sleeveless dress and tied her hair in a side braid. She held her chopstick and pick up the meat and vegetables in the hotpot.

"It's tasty, there's no way it's not." I hurriedly commented.

"Y-yeah, it's delicious. Oishi ..." Sunna nodded and picked another slice of meat and stuffed it in her small mouth. 

"Un, umai." Eula also nodded her head. 

For information, there's no way her cooking tastes bad. I've eaten her cooking for the last three years and I can say for sure that it was tastier than even those being sold in the high-end restaurant. And she rarely used quality ingredients, it's one of Koei's household mysteries on how she can cook this delicious.

"Then why you guys silent? I thought there's something wrong with the dish."

"... err, mom, isn't it better to eat without talking too much?"

"Un, I thought so ... enjoying the food silently. Is better than blabbering around."

The two daughters commented like that.

"Still it's kinda awkward when you didn't say anything at all, fine then. It's rare to see you coming down and eat dinner with us, Eula." she changed the topic.

"Ngh, if it's not because of him ... this little guy awakens his Supercell."

"Are you alright? You didn't get affected by the night wind right?"

"I'm alright, mom. No problem."

"Don't stay in your room all day long. Exercise your body regularly, or your body will fail you."

"Hoi~!"

"Sigh ... take care of your body, nee."

"I know, I know ..." Eula nodded her head repeatedly.

"Did you know, this noon Arman called me to deal with someone. He has finally done it this time."

"Deal with someone, like 'dealing' with someone?" Sunna asked. 

But the question is rather vague, I can't get it at all. Isn't it just asking for her help? Why make a fuzz about something like that? 

"Yeah, he asked me to crush down Proteus Corp. It's the first time he called me for this kind of reason. Hehehe ..." she giggled cheerfully. 

I don't know why, but it's pretty crazy. She just did cruel things to Li Quan and his family because of a single call from me. And here we are, having dinner and laughing about it without care. I did it at the spur moment and knowing myself what the consequences it'd bring. But why I didn't feel remorse and regret? Is it because ... I'm a heartless person?

Anyway, a minor character like Li Quan isn't such a big deal. And it was him who brought the destruction unto himself. I shouldn't think about this too much.

"I didn't ask for the reason, but what happened this noon? How come he got into a conflict with you?"

 "Oh yeah ... " I recounted what happened this noon. Starting from the incident at the traditional market, how I tagged along with Shan Yuezhi on her lunch with her friends. How they misunderstood my relation with her, and how I got pissed off with Li Quan and his lackeys.

"I see, from your description, he sounds like scum and an idiot. But who's this Shan Yuezhi?" Sunna asked.

"Shan Yuezhi ... I've heard this name before." aunt Yumi knitted her long brows, in deep thought.

"It's this Chinese woman. Little one brought her home this noon, he even escorted her back to her house." Eula picked up her smartphone and showed the footage of the surveillance camera in this tower.

I say this is too much. Even this tower surveillance camera is in your grasp. I feel like she has violated the privacy of everyone living in this building. 

Hold a moment! If you hacked the surveillance camera of this tower, did you also planted some hidden cameras inside the house just like I did in the bathroom? After all, how couldn't you do that when most of the time I'm in the house? But where is it? Oh damn, then she already knew about that ..., but damn, is that it? She knows about the hidden camera but pretends as she didn't? 

No ..., there's no way she did that. And from her collection, there's nothing that was taken from inside the house. So it's impossible ... I dismissed the thought as I don't think Eula planted hidden cams somewhere in this house. 

Aunt Yumi asked while I was still thinking about the matter with Eula. 

"Her face seems familiar ... who is she, Arman?"

"We just met this noon. I don't know her or her family."

"Then why you did everything you can to bring down Li Yongming's son just because he said something disrespectful to this young woman? Are you interested in her?" Sunna asked with vinegar in her words.

"No, and why'd you think of that? We're just friends, nothing else."

"... nothing else, for now," Eula added.

I looked at her strangely. But the two sisters looked back at me, no, they glared.

"Alright, stop it you two ..." aunt Yumi stopped the glaring contest between us. "But Arman, I know you're interested in that thing too. However, you shouldn't have a relationship with girls until you graduate from high school. You promised that to me, didn't you?"

"... yes, aunt. I know and I always keep that in my mind."

"Good. You should focus on your study first before anything else." aunt Yumi reminded me about that.

Right, the school ... there must be plenty of newly awakened supergirls available!
