Mina, with a suggestive smile, looked up at me with slightly narrowed eyes and asked again,
“So? What do you think?”
My momentary confusion at the sudden question quickly dissipated.
I regained my composure.
‘She’s always been like this.’
After all, she was Backsa.
A pervert who enjoyed posting nude photos of herself on a secondary account and receiving praise from strangers.
It wasn’t surprising that she was acting this way. Thinking back on her messages, while seemingly provocative, they also hinted at a desire to be found out.
“…Sex is a separate matter.”
“Oh my?”
Mina’s eyes widened at my response.
It seemed like an unexpected answer.
She tucked her hair behind her ear again, a habit, and gave me a suggestive look.
From past experiences, I knew that look. It meant she wanted to sleep with me.
‘Is there any reason to refuse?’
As I said, dating and sex were separate. I’d already slept with two women I wasn’t dating. There was no reason to refuse now.
Besides, Mina was quite pretty.
She had a fox-like appearance with long, black hair that reached her lower back. Her makeup was a bit heavy, but her red lips had their own charm.
Mina reached out and gently took my hand.
I didn’t resist; instead, I interlaced and unlaced our fingers a few times.
As our hands separated, Mina looked at me with a hint of disappointment.
“Wow, what’s this? The more I see you, the more surprising you are, Kang Cheol. You seemed rough, but you’re gentle, and I thought you were innocent, but you’re experienced.”
Well, the roughness was online. Having different online and offline personalities was quite common. And I owed my experience to A-reum and Soyeon.
We left the smoking area and walked together.
Mina, walking beside me, asked playfully,
“Do you want to go out with me?”
“That’s a bit…”
“I know, I was just kidding. But that immediate rejection hurts a little.”
“You don’t seem hurt at all.”
“Busted?”
Mina giggled.
“Don’t go to the second round later. Come out separately, okay?”
I nodded slightly.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
The party ended.
“Let’s go for a second round. How about karaoke?”
Seora suggested, her face flushed.
“Sounds good! Let’s sing anime songs!”
“C-Can we sing J-Pop too?”
“I’ll just listen.”
The other members nodded in agreement, as if used to this. There was a reason Mina mentioned a second round. It seemed like a set routine.
“Hey, Ahn Sung-hyun. You’re not skipping out, are you? You rarely get a chance to openly sing J-Pop.”
“Alright, alright, I’ll go, just let go…”
Ahn Sung-hyun spoke while trapped in Seora’s headlock.
Sung-joo, on the other hand, waved his hand apologetically.
“I have another appointment. Let’s go together next time.”
He was probably skipping out because they would only sing anime and J-Pop songs. Many people disliked it when others sang Japanese songs because they couldn’t search for the next song during the current one.
‘Knowing Sung-joo, he probably really does have another appointment.’
He was such a social butterfly, so it was possible.
“We’ll be leaving now.”
“Me too. Invite me again next time~”
“Have fun.”
The ghost members also said their goodbyes and left.
“S-Sorry about earlier.”
Park Mincheol apologized to me again. As Seora said, he was just a loudmouth, not a truly bad person.
“It’s okay. I got worked up too.”
There was no need to hold a grudge. I had received his apology.
“Yoo Bam, I’ll be heading home now.”
“Aren’t you coming with us, Cheol-jin?”
“Huh? Cheol-jin’s not coming?”
The members who planned to go to the second round looked at me, seemingly assuming I would join them.
Seora approached me and lowered her voice.
“Is it because of what happened earlier? Wouldn’t singing your heart out make you feel better?”
“Nah, it’s not that.”
It’s just that my mind is full of thoughts about sex.
Feeling both grateful and embarrassed for Seora’s concern, I declined again.
“I drank too much. Let’s go together next time.”
“Hmm. You did drink the most, I think. But you’re still coming to work out tomorrow, right?”
“Of course. I’m planning to go in the afternoon.”
“Okay. Then get home safe.”
Seora patted my shoulder as she spoke. The other members didn’t try to persuade me further, seemingly considerate of the recent incident.
“Wait. If Cheol-jin’s not going, I’m out too…”
“Cut the crap and come along.”
“Gah. L-Let go… Ugh!”
I heard the sound of someone being subdued, but I didn’t pay much attention.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
After leaving the restaurant and walking for a bit,
“Kang Cheol~”
Mina, who had been waiting, appeared.
“We’re going with that nickname?”
“Yeah. It’s catchy.”
Mina smiled, naturally linking her arm with mine. She winked and pressed her chest against my arm.
“It’s more familiar to me too.”
“That’s true.”
“Ahaha.”
“Why are you laughing?”
“Now that I know you’re Kang Cheol, using honorifics feels awkward. You’re a total warrior on Trictor.”
That was because there were so many crazy people on Trictor. Since my art itself was risqué, I attracted a lot of perverts with a screw loose. Because of that, even I, who initially tried to be polite, gradually became more unrestrained.
“…But I was mostly polite to my clients.”
“You weren’t to me.”
“That’s because you kept sending me weird pictures. Thinking about it, I’m getting angry. Why did you keep provoking me?”
“I sent them for work reference~ Honestly, you were turned on, right?”
True. Honestly, I was turned on.
“By the way, are you really not drawing webtoons? I think an adult one would sell really well.”
“That again? I’m not drawing one.”
Why I didn’t draw adult webtoons, or rather, 19+ doujinshi, was a frequent question from my followers.
“Why? It would sell well. Are you already drawing one? You have multiple art styles.”
“I’m really not. And it’s not that I’m not drawing comics, it’s that I can’t. Illustrating and drawing comics are completely different.”
Drawing comics wasn’t just about drawing well. There were issues of paneling and directing, but above all, there had to be a story.
It wasn’t like I hadn’t tried. I had already attempted it several times and failed. I might have had a talent for drawing, but I had absolutely no talent as a storyteller. It was something I was very disappointed about.
“Let’s drop that topic. We didn’t come out here to talk about that, did we?”
“Okay, okay. You’re scary when you’re angry, so stop.”
“Huh? I’m definitely not angry…”
“Really? Maybe it’s because your voice is low. Your tone too… Never mind. I shouldn’t have said anything.”
“I’m really not angry…”
“Okay, okay, I get it. You’re scary one minute and cute the next.”
Mina burst into laughter again. Thanks to that, the awkward atmosphere dissipated.
I realized once again that I lacked communication skills.
Five years spent as a shut-in.
I’d missed the time when I should have been learning how to communicate and converse with people, so my communication skills were naturally lacking compared to my peers.
‘I need to pay attention to this too.’
Sometimes, my words didn’t convey my intentions properly. Even now, it seemed like I was misunderstood because of my tone. Perhaps the reason I hadn’t had any problems so far was because I was surrounded by good people.
Lost in self-reflection as I walked,
“There’s a convenience store over there. Let’s stop by.”
“Convenience store? Do you want something to eat?”
“What? Pfft. No, I need to buy CDs.”
CDs? Ah, CDs. She meant condoms.
I hadn’t used condoms in a while, so I hadn’t even thought of it.
Before we reached the convenience store, Mina asked subtly,
“By the way, Cheol-jin… what’s your size?”
Besides A-reum, she was the first woman to ask about my condom size. Soyeon didn’t even know condoms came in different sizes.
To be honest, I didn’t know either.
“I’m not sure about condom sizes… but my girth is about 14cm.”
“…Really?”
Mina’s eyes widened. Immediately after, her gaze dropped. She stared intently at my crotch, then…
Swipe. Squeeze.
“W-What are you doing?!”
Mina grabbed my penis over my pants. What was she doing out in public?
I quickly brushed her hand away and looked around. Fortunately, we were in a secluded area, and there was no one around.
Meanwhile, Mina squeezed her hand open and closed, impressed.
“Wow, it’s really big.”
“You crazy woman… what are you doing?!”
A curse slipped out involuntarily.
Despite that, Mina stuck out her tongue with a brazen expression.
“Why are you so shy? We’re going to do it anyway.”
“There’s a time and place!”
“Well… when you said 14cm, I thought you were bragging. So I checked.”
“Why would I brag about something like this…”
Mina shrugged, showing no remorse.
“Don’t men do that often? Like how women wear padded bras.”
That confirmed it. Her breasts were padded.
Mina chuckled and said,
“Everyone claims to be big. You did too.”
“Well, yeah. That’s true, but…”
I definitely had said that on Trictor. Whenever I got a message asking about my size, I would reply, “Huge, lol.” I couldn’t exactly say it was small, could I?
“But it’s not hard yet, so I can’t tell. I’ll have to check later~”
“…You know you’re a total freak, right?”
“What? You followed me here with the intention of doing it too. If you’re feeling wronged, you can touch me too.”
She puffed out her chest as she spoke.
‘This woman is crazy.’
She was as crazy as A-reum.
But she wouldn’t have known this: I was pretty crazy too.
“You think I wouldn’t?”
“Oh my?”
Mina’s eyes widened in surprise as I unhesitatingly groped her breasts.
I didn’t stop there. I wrapped my arms around her back and kissed her, skillfully slipping my tongue into her mouth. After a moment of surprise, she kissed me back.
My hand slid down. I couldn’t quite reach inside her pants, so I groped her over her clothes.
‘Her clothes are thick.’
The fabric of her pants was quite thick, so I couldn’t do much. Her breasts were the same. She was wearing a spring knit, so it was hard to tell if I was touching her breasts or just her clothes.
I changed my target and caressed her butt. It was quite large and round. I gave it a firm squeeze before breaking the kiss. I was afraid someone would see us.
“Haah…”
A heated breath escaped her lips after the short but intense kiss. Both of us, worried about being seen, became aroused even faster.
Mina wiped her lips with the back of her hand and smiled.
“You’re a good kisser, Kang Cheol.”
Then, as if praising me, she patted my butt.
I let out a hollow laugh.
‘I can’t seem to take the lead.’
I had planned to dominate her when we met, but I felt like I was being swept along.
‘Just wait until we get to bed.’
It would be different then. Just you wait.
I made up my mind and headed to the convenience store.
“…….”
“I’ll pay for this~”
Mina paid for the condoms.
I was too embarrassed to pay for them since the cashier was a woman…
