Thea's stockings were torn in a flash,as if fate was toying with her.The edge of the stockings,with their elasticity,seemed to come alive,curling up and creating a peculiar sight.
That moment was like a sudden storm,causing Vsa's nose to bleed instantly.The force of the pull was so strong that the stockings slipped down to her knee!"Ah…"Thea let out a panicked cry.She bent over quickly,gripping the edge of the stockings as if dealing with an emergency,and tugged hard,trying to restore them to their original state.
But Vsa was still stunned by the fleeting glimpse.Those few seconds felt stretched,filled with charm.Thea had already pulled the stockings back up,but the tear had a mind of its own.It dug into her leg and swayed in the breeze—a sight that was incredibly alluring.
"Thea,I'm so sorry…"Vsa quickly turned his face away,embarrassment etched on his features,his ears tinged pink.Thea squatted down,her face flushed,as if the world had paused.She stammered,"It's not your fault,I wasn't paying attention."
She was numb with shock.How could this happen?It was so embarrassing.A torn stocking was one thing,but having it slip down right in front of Vsa was another.Though he was younger,he was still a man.Thea was mortified,wishing she could vanish on the spot.
She glanced up and caught the shock and embarrassment in Vsa's eyes.Her heart sank,her blush deepening,and her pulse raced.She knew this wouldn't just go away.
"quickly warned,"Thea,let's go while no one's around."Thea looked around;the community was quiet,with few people out during work hours.But she knew that would change.Once the workday ended,the crowd would come,and her awkward state would be on full display.
"Right!"Thea stood up hastily.She considered taking off the stocking but realized it was still partially on.Too embarrassed to do it there,she whispered to Vsa,"Please cover for me."Vsa nodded earnestly.
Thea hurried toward the lobby,with Vsa close behind.Yet,the way the stocking dug into her leg was a magnet for eyes.Her skin was as fair and smooth as a baby's,creating a striking contrast with the torn stockings.
As they walked,a system prompt sounded in Vsa's mind:"Please choose one of the three options."
[1:Senior,you don't want others to know,do you?]
[2:Thea,since it's broken,give it to me!]
[3:Senior,don't worry!It's fine if others see your legs.]
Vsa glanced at the options,feeling uneasy.Option one felt fraught with Japanese vibes,like something from a sketchy video—he couldn't go there.
Option two was a no-go too.If he said that,Thea would likely slap him.Despite her gentle demeanor,such a remark would be pure creepiness.Did he have a hidden kink?No,this was all the system's fault!
That left option three,which seemed the most normal,though he wasn't thrilled.He went with it.
"Senior,don't worry!It's fine if others see your legs,"he reassured.Thea rolled her eyes—she knew the scene could spark wild rumors.
They reached the lobby entrance.Thea turned to ask Vsa to wait in the warehouse while she changed.But as she turned,she caught him staring—not at her leg,but at the torn stockings.Her face flushed instantly.How dare he focus on the damaged part?Was he mocking her?Her face burned with anger.
"What are you looking at?!"she snapped,her voice trembling with fury.
"Ah,no,senior,it's not what you think!"Vsa snapped out of it,scrambling to explain,"I was just wondering if you have smelly feet."
"What?!"Thea's face contorted with rage."You're the one with smelly feet!Want to check?"Vsa,taken aback,stepped back,but she cut him off again.
"Well,I was thinking…"Vsa's eyes darted around as he struggled for an excuse.Seeing her fury,he blurted out,"I'm a tailor."
"A tailor?"Thea paused,then her anger flared again."So what?Think you can fix my stockings?"She was fed up—this job was on the line if he didn't explain.
"Yes,I meant it!"Vsa,flustered by her rage,babbled,"I'm studying fashion design.Seeing this,I just wanted to practice.I have a competition coming up,and sewing is my weak point.I've been meaning to practice…And senior,it's not like I meant to stare.You're so beautiful,with fair skin and great taste.I really like seeing you in stockings…"
Vsa rambled on,oblivious to the innuendos.Thea was stunned,then burst into laughter despite herself.
Seeing her laugh,Vsa was confused."Senior,what does that mean?"
"Really?"Thea asked out of the blue.
"Yeah!"Vsa nodded solemnly."You're stunning and classy.I love seeing you in…"
"Not about that!"Thea cut him off with a roll of her eyes."I meant the sewing part!"
"Absolutely true!"Vsa nodded again,relief washing over him.Did it work?He was thrilled but kept his composure,terrified of messing up again.
"That can't be given to you either!"
Thea looked at his expectant face, and turned around and entered the hall.
Vsa:"..."
No?
Don't want to ask me for you?
But...
It's pretty normal.
How can any woman give this?
Wipe!
Mistake.
On the other side.
Thea entered the hall.
I just feel my heart beating wildly.
She doesn't even know why she's asking this?
Is it difficult? Is it really given?
What have I become?
This kid is really bold.
If you want to replace someone who looks ugly, you have to slap them.
Huh? What's wrong with you
The intern heard a sound.
As soon as I looked up, I saw Thea coming in.
The stockings on my leg are quite worn out.
She was startled.
Don't mention it, it's hanging on the grass and I tore it apart
Thea reluctantly explained.
