Kim Jimin (1)
The prepared dishes are running low. Even the briefest deviation signals that the end is near.
“Alright, let’s slowly get back to work~”
I tried to help clean up, but the ladies wouldn’t let me.
“Aigoo~ Teacher, we’ll take care of this. Go inside and rest.”
They pushed me toward the counseling room door.
“Ah… yes, understood. Yep.”
The lady paused for a moment.
“Oh dear, looks like you won’t even get to rest. There she is.”
The small bell on the door jingled, announcing the girl’s arrival to me as well.
“Oppa!”
The girl ran over with a bright smile.
“We have to start today’s session, right?”
I shoved my anger and discomfort into a corner of my mind. Because this was counseling.
“Yeah. Let’s go in.”
As soon as the door opened, Jimin dashed to the chair and sat down. Then she beamed and started whistling.
“Hmm~ Hmm hmhmm~ Hmm!”
I lowered myself into my own chair and began the session.
“So, did something good happen? You seem to be in a much better mood.”
“Oh? You’re going to pretend you don’t know?”
I shrugged, coaxing her to speak.
“Tell me. Why are you in such a good mood?”
“Some filthy rag of a bitch kept running her mouth, so I gave her a refreshing verbal education. Now I feel great again!”
“Your language is pretty rough.”
“Don’t you like it rough? Just looking at that auntie’s face, I figured she’d keep you up all night, cursing like a sailor while getting fucked senseless. I thought Oppa was into that… Sorry.”
“Jimin, I know you’re trying to get under my skin, but please watch your language in my counseling room.”
“Yes! I won’t do it again~”
“So, how are things with your father?”
“Hmm~ I’m not sure.”
“Nothing that made you angry or irritated?”
“Hmm~ I don’t really remember, Oppa.”
“Alright, then…”
“If Oppa gives me one little kiss on the cheek, maybe I’ll remember~”
Jimin puffed her cheeks full of air and thrust her face toward me.
“Uung? Ung?”
“…Jimin, I’m not doing that.”
The way she pouted and slowly deflated her cheeks was somehow terrifying.
“What a shame. Wouldn’t it be nice for both of us? Hmm…”
“Then today, I prepared some—”
“You still haven’t broken up with her, Oppa?”
“…Shall we try what I prepared together?”
“Why haven’t you broken up? Or are you just drawing a line because I’m a student?”
“We haven’t broken up. We’re still dating nicely.”
“Really? That can’t be right…”
The girl frowned, openly skeptical.
“…Aha!”
She looked at me and smiled sweetly.
“Wow~ Oppa must have held back really well, huh? It wasn’t easy, was it? Are you more of a man than you look? Yeah?”
“Jimin. Never do that again.”
“Can’t you do it with me just once? I want to see it for myself.”
“Jimin. Let’s do what I prepared today.”
“Okay! Should I take my clothes off first?”
She began unbuttoning her blouse one by one.
“…It’s not that kind of thing, so please don’t misunderstand. Can you read this and check the appropriate boxes?”
“After I finish, will you let me suck you off? Ah~ I’m pretty confident I’d be good at it with you, Oppa.”
She lifted her foot onto the table and slid it toward me.
“Huh? No? You’d do it if that auntie shoved her foot at you.”
“Yes. No.”
“Hmm… Aren’t I pretty enough? Why does Oppa keep resisting?”
“Jimin. Take your leg down and let’s do this together.”
“Ah~ It’s annoying and I don’t want to… If I finish everything, can I get a kiss?”
“That’s enough, Miss Client.”
“Huh? Oppa, you’re really drawing a line now.”
“Please fill out the form.”
“Fine~ Getting mad over a little joke is too much… This is all I have to do, right?”
She drew straight lines through every checkbox and handed the paper back.
“Okay, now let’s play! Yeah?”
“Student, please participate in the counseling properly.”
I handed her a spare blank questionnaire I had prepared earlier.
“Oppa, you’re really well-prepared… You wouldn’t forget contraception either! What a relief.”
“…”
“Not answering at all is a bit mean, Oppa.”
“…”
“Ah, fine! I’ll do it, I’ll do it!”
Jimin began reading the questions.
“Honestly, wouldn’t it be more accurate if you just talked to me instead of doing this?”
“It’s material to get advice from other professionals. Looking at various indicators will be easier for them than listening to me ramble.”
Jimin stopped her pen.
“Who gave you permission to ask other people for advice?”
“This case feels like more than I can handle alone.”
“Oppa, I’m telling Dad.”
“I was actually planning to ask your father for advice too.”
The girl leaned back and folded her arms.
“Oppa, it’s troublesome when you act this cute.”
“So will you listen to me for once? Jimin?”
We stared each other down.
“I don’t want to.”
“Then you should find another counselor—”
“Oppa, if you keep talking like that, I won’t stay quiet.”
The girl glared at me.
“If you act like that, I can’t continue the counseling either.”
“Then you’ll have to retake Counseling Practicum, won’t you?”
“Can’t be helped.”
“Dad’s the only one who teaches that class, you know?”
“Well, it doesn’t matter.”
“You’ll end up back in front of me eventually, right?”
“Even then, I’ll do about this much counseling and give up again.”
“Haa… This Oppa keeps driving me insane~”
Jimin stood up from her chair and sat directly on the table.
“Oppa, why don’t we just do it right here?”
“Get down from the desk.”
“You might not realize it, Oppa, but the more you push me away, the hornier I get… Isn’t resolving these urges part of the counseling goals?”
“Jimin. The more you act like this, the harder it becomes for both of us.”
“It really is hard to hold back. I want to rip all your clothes off right now and fuck you until you’re sobbing and begging.”
“Jimin.”
“Would Dad do anything about it? Or if it’s with a student, would Oppa get arrested? Then you couldn’t tell anyone, so maybe it’s fine to strip you naked right now, isn’t it?”
“…Get down.”
Jimin swept the monitor and papers aside and moved right in front of me.
“Huh? I could ride you until you’re crying and begging for your life, but it feels unfair that only that auntie gets to do it, doesn’t it?”
She poked my chest with her foot.
“If I just open this, everyone will see Oppa’s pale, soft skin… Right?”
“Touch my body one more time, and know that you will never speak a single word to me again.”
“There you go wagging your tail again. You keep saying ‘Please devour me~’ like that. Isn’t this Oppa seducing me?”
Jimin brought her face so close our noses nearly touched.
“Oppa, will you go out with me?”
“No.”
“Let’s date.”
“No.”
“Then we’re dating starting today, right?”
“No.”
“Should I start calling you by name now? Jihyun~”
“Jimin.”
The girl looked down at me from atop the desk.
“I don’t like you. So go back to your seat quietly and answer the questionnaire.”
“Hmm…”
Jimin slid her foot between my thighs.
“Oppa, isn’t dating hilarious?”
“If this were the old days, I would’ve smashed the back of your head with a rock, dragged you off, and enjoyed you until I was satisfied. You might be surprised when you woke up, but eventually you’d have my child and live with me.”
“I doubt it.”
“No, it definitely would’ve happened. Even if you had already slept with someone else, after enjoying me a little you’d be satisfied enough to forget them and live with me, right?”
“Maybe.”
“Do you understand why, as time passes, there are more laws to follow, why we have to care about morality and conscience, why we have to watch what other people think?”
“It’s because they’re scared of losing what they have. If I’m dating you and someone else hits me from behind and drags me away—”
“Ugh, disgusting. But even if I died, I wouldn’t let them take you. I’d lock you in a cave and cut off your arms and legs. Our ancestors really made things annoying with all those pointless rules.”
“Not everyone thinks like you. The civilization humanity built is only maintained this well because of the very rules you claim not to understand.”
“But those rules won’t stop me from smashing your head with that monitor and fucking you right now, will they?”
The girl stroked the monitor she had pushed aside.
“You know better than anyone what would happen if you did that, don’t you, smart little Jimin?”
“…Hmm.”
Jimin returned to her own chair.
“Now I think I understand why you’re still dating her.”
“Thank you for going back.”
“But someday, Oppa will definitely be on your knees beneath me, begging desperately.”
“Looking forward to it.”
“Right! I’m waiting for that day too.”
Jimin smiled at me with pure, innocent eyes.
“I’m kidding. I think I went too far today. I’m sorry.”
“Yeah, thank you for apologizing.”
“Oppa, when are you going to break up with her?”
“I don’t know.”
“Oppa, there’s a limit to how long I can wait… You know that, right?”
“Hmm.”
“I won’t say anything about you going out to play for a bit. I actually find that level of deviation cute.”
Jimin stood up from the chair.
“But if you take too long, I won’t be able to hold back either. Understand?”
“Shall we end today’s session here?”
“Yes, Oppa! I’ll come again next time.”
Jimin turned and headed for the door. Then she paused, turned back, and walked up to me.
“Oppa, you have to give me your number!”
“I don’t like giving out too much personal information to clients.”
“Aish, seriously… So cold-hearted.”
My phone suddenly rang.
“Well, that’s fine! I already know it anyway.”
I pressed the red button on the ringing phone and ended the call. The screen on Jimin’s phone went dark.
…Goosebumps ran down my spine.
“Next time I call, you have to answer. Got it?”
“Jimin, I’m going to block you, so keep that in mind.”
“If you block me, I’ll kill myself.”
“…What?”
“I said I’ll commit suicide.”
…The emotions I had been holding back felt like they were about to explode.
“If you’re a counselor, please save me, Oppa… Sob sob.”
She pretended to cry in front of me.
“Got it?”
Then she flashed a bright smile.
“…Get out. Now.”
“Yes~ Oppa! I’ll come to school during the week, so let’s eat together!”
“…”
The girl closed the door behind her as she left.
I took a deep breath. I pushed every other emotion aside and focused every nerve on breathing alone.
Don’t be conscious of emotion. Don’t be conscious of Jimin.
Don’t think. Calm down. Calm down. Calm down… Calm down…
“Diriring ding, diririring ding, diding!”
…
“Diriring ding, diririring ding, diding!”
I answered the phone.
“Oppa, you know I love you, right? Mwah!”
