A-reum, who had been kneeling, stood up.
I could see dust on her white skirt.
“Ugh, sit down there.”
I sat A-reum on the sofa and brushed the dust off her knees. Fortunately, it was a room where you took off your shoes to enter, so not much dust got on.
“It mostly brushes off with my hand. There’s a slight mark left, but it’s not very noticeable.”
“Thanks!”
“Do you want to win that badly?”
“Yeah!”
…She answered incredibly brightly.
I let out a hollow laugh and handed A-reum a glass of water.
“Drink some water. You must feel sticky, right?”
“Ugh. I’m going to go to the restroom for a bit. I need to rinse off.”
“Let’s do that. I need to go too.”
After peeing white, I felt like peeing yellow next. Who knew I’d get a blowjob at a karaoke bar?
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Ahn Seora was spending time with her high school friends after a long time. However, her mind was elsewhere.
‘Hmm. Is there no way I can convince Cheol-jin?’
Kang Cheol-jin’s declaration of abandoning the competition, which she had heard this morning.
Those words kept circling in her head, making it impossible for her to concentrate on the conversation with her friends. She desperately wanted to push Kang Cheol-jin to compete, even if it meant pushing his limits.
But ultimately, his own will was what mattered.
No matter how much she cheered him on and helped him, she couldn’t force him if he didn’t want to.
Was there no brilliant way to persuade him?
Because of that thought, she often zoned out while talking to her friends.
‘I shouldn’t be like this. I’m being rude to my friends.’
These were friends she hadn’t seen in a long time.
She couldn’t keep thinking about other things indefinitely, especially when they had finally made time to spend together.
So, she made an effort to stop thinking and was finally able to laugh and chat with her friends.
That’s when she spotted Kang Cheol-jin and Pi A-reum on a date in Hongdae.
‘What exactly is the relationship between Cheol-jin and A-reum?’
Pi A-reum’s teasing, as she giggled at Kang Cheol-jin, seemed more like how you’d treat a really close friend rather than a lover, which made their relationship confusing.
‘A-reum must just be a friend, right? But do guys with girlfriends usually hang out alone with their female friends?’
Her thoughts about Kang Cheol-jin were the same as before, but subtly, the topic had veered in a different direction. At some point, Ahn Seora’s thoughts shifted from persuading him to compete to the relationship between Pi A-reum and Ju Hana.
Why was Ahn Seora concerned about the relationship between the three of them?
The reason lay in a scene she had witnessed in the club room not long ago.
Ju Hana, moaning, soaked in pleasure, lying face down on the desk.
Kang Cheol-jin, roughly thrusting his hips while slapping Ju Hana’s butt.
The somewhat violent yet very suggestive side profiles of the two remained vivid in her memory even after several days had passed.
It wasn’t just a matter of not forgetting.
To make matters worse, a memory she had painstakingly buried also resurfaced.
About a month ago.
Ahn Seora had touched Kang Cheol-jin’s dick while he was asleep. Under the pretext of giving him a massage and rubbing his body, she had, as if possessed, ended up touching it.
Of course, afterwards, she was overcome with self-loathing and blamed herself. She had then tried to shake off the memory of that day, vowing never to make the same mistake again…
Now, that memory was vividly resurfacing.
‘It was a different texture from muscle…’
Ahn Seora stared blankly into space.
The sensation, thicker than a dumbbell handle and as hard as iron, was still vivid. As she thought about it, its soft, fluffy shape seemed to form before her eyes.
“Seora, it’s your turn next. Make a reservation in advance.”
“……”
“Seora?”
“Dick…”
“What?”
Ahn Seora was startled and answered again.
“H-Heavy weight!”
“…What is she talking about?”
“Uh, that. M-My bad. I’m just going to the restroom for a bit!”
Ahn Seora rushed out of the room as if fleeing. She quickly changed her words, but did it work?
‘What on earth am I thinking! I must be crazy!’
She had never been interested in men in her life, so she didn’t know why she was acting like this. Strange thoughts kept popping into her head, filling it completely.
Ahn Seora used the restroom and then washed her face to clear her head.
She pulled out a few tissues to wipe the water off.
“Hmm. I should put on sunscreen, right? Ugh, it’s annoying.”
She applied a small, sample-sized all-in-one cream and sunscreen. She usually found it very bothersome to put anything on her face, so she rarely did basic skincare.
She had only started using sunscreen because her friends nagged her, and because of this, she had even given up toner and serum and switched to an all-in-one cream to reduce the number of cosmetics.
Anyway, as she was about to leave after applying sunscreen,
“Ah, Seora unnie!”
“Oh, oh. A-reum, hello?”
She ran into Pi A-reum, who had entered the restroom. Why was she here? Did their paths cross? Then is Cheol-jin here too?
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
“What is this now?”
As he blinked, Pi A-reum showed him her phone and said,
“I already booked a hotel for today! And it comes with breakfast tomorrow, too!”
“What? No, even if we earned some money, isn’t that too expensive?”
He checked, and it was a hotel costing 200,000 won per night.
While it might not be that expensive for those with money, it was a considerable sum for a university student.
“No way. I’ll pay for this.”
“Nyah-nyah! I already paid!”
“I’ll send you the money to your account.”
“I won’t take it!”
“Why are you being stubborn? It’s burdensome.”
“Ugh, you’re the one being stubborn. Why are you making a fuss when I said I’d pay?”
Pi A-reum let out a deep sigh. Why was this kid always giving and unable to receive? From her perspective, Kang Cheol-jin was a bit frustrating.
But Kang Cheol-jin narrowed his eyes and stared intently at her. In response, Pi A-reum widened her already large eyes and stared back at him.
Blink.
He blinked.
Pi A-reum immediately made a V-sign and declared,
“I win! Follow my lead!”
“We weren’t even having a staring contest…”
“Ugh, you are annoying Kang Cheol-jin. If it bothers you, then take me somewhere nice later.”
Saying that, Pi A-reum pouted her lips and added,
“I’m doing this because I’m grateful. I looked it up, and it costs a ton of money to buy a decent virtual character.”
At first, she didn’t know much about it either. She only vaguely understood. But as she started broadcasting, messages came from various places.
Hello, Pi Bada-nim. Regarding something else… (omitted)… Could I ask who you bought your virtual character from?
She had already received four such messages.
By then, Pi A-reum became curious and looked up some information. And she realized that the character Kang Cheol-jin had given her was much higher quality than she had thought.
Basically, the cost of purchasing a virtual character is high. It starts at tens of thousands and can easily exceed a hundred thousand depending on the quality. Adding various special effects and optimization made the cost astronomical.
But Kang Cheol-jin had readily given her such a virtual character without any compensation. When it came down to it, Kang Cheol-jin had given more than she had, having just booked a hotel.
Kang Cheol-jin scratched his head with an awkward expression.
“That’s when you buy it. I made mine myself, so…”
“Ahhh! I can’t hear you! Too much talk! I’m going to the hotel!”
“Ugh, you’re so stubborn.”
“I even told them at home I’d be staying out tonight! You have no idea how hard it was to make up an excuse!”
In the end, Kang Cheol-jin raised both hands in surrender.
“Alright. Let’s go, let’s go. Thank you.”
“Yay! I’m gonna totally screw Kang Cheol-jin tonight!”
Kang Cheol-jin let out a hollow laugh.
‘She talks a good game. She’s always the first to pass out.’
He’d have to see if today was any different.
