Jin-seong couldn't wrap his head around it no matter how much he thought about it.
Even though he was a code ranking in the top five for settlement volume within the Bayern line,
it was ridiculous that Seung-woo was giving extra commission only to the master agents he oversaw directly.
Jin-seong's heart felt heavy and frustrated.
Wanting to vent those feelings, the next day,
he drove straight to Sangju.
It was because Goni and Dong-hoon, whom he considered his own people, were there.
When he arrived, Goni and Dong-hoon came out to greet him warmly.
"Goni, it's only been a week, but damn, why do you feel so welcome?"
Goni laughed as he welcomed Jin-seong.
"Man, even after just a week, it really feels good to see you."
Dong-hoon chimed in playfully from the side.
"Hyung, I've missed you too."
The three of them headed into downtown Sangju, grabbed a corner table at Two Some Place,
and sipped coffee while catching up.
Even though it was the city center, it still had that strong rural vibe,
but it had everything you could need.
While staying with Goni, Dong-hoon had gathered ten members,
and though it was just enough for living expenses,
he was reasonably satisfied.
Both of them loved drinking, so almost every evening,
they'd buy soju and snacks from the convenience store and work while drinking.
The work table was one of those round plastic ones you see everywhere in convenience stores, uncomfortable,
but neither of them paid it much mind.
Jin-seong said to the two of them,
"Guys, I'm about to get a two-room place in Gyeongsan soon
and set up a proper office."
Goni thought for a moment and asked Jin-seong,
"Hani, can I join you too? I was thinking of doing things more properly with Dong-hoon."
Jin-seong hesitated briefly.
"What about here?"
Goni replied as if it was no big deal.
"This was just a place I was messing around in by myself anyway.
If you take Dong-hoon, I'll get bored.
It's about time I properly grew my code."
From Jin-seong's perspective, there was no downside.
He could just set up a few computers, use the big room as the office,
and sleep in the small one.
"Alright, until your code stabilizes properly,
I'll cover the rent and basic costs, so don't worry
and both come over.
If things go well later, we can move to something bigger."
Goni and Dong-hoon were thrilled and said to Jin-seong,
"Thanks, Hani."
Dong-hoon followed up,
"We'll trust only you, hyung, and work hard.
Let's make it big, the three of us."
They encouraged each other like that and began fleshing out their future plans in detail.
Jin-seong's mind felt a bit more at ease now.
Knowing he wasn't alone, that his people were with him, made him feel secure.
After finishing the talk, Jin-seong looked at the two and asked,
"You guys aren't hungry? Wanna grab something to eat?"
Then Dong-hoon suddenly made a pitiful face and said,
"Hyung, it's been three days since we had a proper meal.
We've been working on straight soju because we had no money."
Jin-seong laughed in disbelief at that and said,
"What? If you're broke, why didn't you say something?"
Dong-hoon looked sheepish as he replied,
"We already got money from you, hyung, and asking for more felt bad."
Jin-seong turned to Goni and asked,
"Goni, are your settlements not even covering living expenses?"
Goni laughed awkwardly and said,
"Hani, I'm a total mess. I slacked off too much playing around,
and almost all the members ran away."
Jin-seong rubbed his head lightly with a sigh,
but he steeled himself, thinking he'd raise these two as his own people.
In truth, he'd known their situation from the start,
which was why he'd come today planning to treat them to everything.
"Fine. Let's go eat some meat first."
Following Jin-seong's lead, the three headed to a nearby beef place.
As soon as they sat down, Jin-seong ordered an 8-person set of beef assortment,
along with doenjang jjigae and cold noodles in abundance.
"Eat as much as you want. Stuff yourselves, and tonight, let's have some drinks too."
As the meat sizzled on the grill,
Dong-hoon and Goni started devouring it like starved beasts.
Jin-seong watched them with a warm smile.
As the one treating, seeing his friends and little bro eat well felt great.
Watching them, Jin-seong renewed his resolve inwardly.
'Yeah, I gotta work harder to build this up and let these guys live like proper people.'
Jin-seong had always liked people,
and especially those he saw as his own—he'd give generously and trust without reservation.
He hadn't been doing the master agent gig long enough to turn calculating,
and even before, at gatherings with acquaintances,
he was the type to pay first or cover more.
After enjoying the beef, Jin-seong said to Goni,
"Goni, anything fun around here? Let's go feel up some girls' tits and play."
Goni thought for a bit and said,
"Nothing special in Sangju, but about 30 minutes away is Gimcheon,
and their karaoke bars are decent."
Jin-seong decided without hesitation.
"Then let's hit up some girls for once in a while. Gimcheon it is."
The three rode in Jin-seong's car toward Gimcheon.
Jin-seong booked a big motel room near the entertainment district
and even handled parking in advance.
They dropped off their stuff, tidied their clothes briefly,
and headed to a nearby karaoke bar.
The inside of the karaoke bar wasn't as nice as expected.
The interior had an old vibe, and the chairs looked a bit worn.
But it was plenty for setting the mood.
Jin-seong sat in the prime seat and told the waiter,
"Start us off with two bottles of Golden Blue."
The waiter left, and liquor and basic snacks were prepared.
Jin-seong personally opened a bottle of cognac
and filled Goni and Dong-hoon's glasses.
"This feels like the first time the three of us are properly drinking together.
Let's have fun tonight."
Goni and Dong-hoon grinned excitedly, raised their glasses,
and clinked with Jin-seong.
The mood started heating up bit by bit.
In truth, Jin-seong had been enjoying the nightlife quite a bit lately on his own.
Nothing to do after work, plenty of money,
so he'd often hit karaoke or hard massages to relieve stress.
At hard massages, he'd see Hye-ri to take care of his urges.
Just before the girls came in,
Jin-seong quietly told Dong-hoon,
"Dong-hoon, if any girl comes in and you don't like her,
tell me right away.
I'll handle it, so no pressure—
have fun for real tonight."
The girls knocked, opened the door, and entered the room.
All three were in short hall uniforms, and way higher quality than expected.
They didn't fit a small rural karaoke bar like this.
The one in front had a sexy vibe,
sharp eyes and long straight hair down to her waist.
About 165cm, nicely slim,
and her black hall uniform was deeply cut from collarbone to crotch line,
emphasizing her glamorous figure even more.
The second girl stood out at first glance as the prettiest of the three.
Around 160cm, neither too short nor tall,
long brown wavy hair, slim face,
distinct features, and a bright, radiant smile.
Her light pink hall uniform matched her fair skin perfectly,
a beauty who just made you feel good looking at her.
The last girl was on the petite side.
About 155cm, dainty, wearing a white hall uniform that exposed her shoulders.
Her face had a pure, cute impression,
with big eyes and small lips that were adorable.
Her fair skin and short bob hair gave off a college girl vibe.
Jin-seong glanced at Dong-hoon and Goni's expressions.
Both already had smiles spreading across their faces.
Jin-seong laughed and said,
"Alright, maknae picks first as usual.
Dong-hoon, you choose."
Dong-hoon waved it off at first,
but with Jin-seong urging him, he shyly picked the sexy one with long straight hair.
She smiled and sat next to Dong-hoon,
and a happy grin bloomed on his face.
Jin-seong turned to Goni next.
"Goni, your turn."
Goni, like he'd been waiting, unhesitatingly picked the bright, smiling beauty second in line.
As she sat next to him, Goni started teasing her with playful jokes to amp up the mood.
Naturally, the last one—the petite, cute type—ended up next to Jin-seong.
Jin-seong actually liked it more.
It perfectly matched his preferred style.
Glasses passed between them and the girls,
and the atmosphere grew hotter.
Jin-seong smiled in satisfaction and said,
"Alright, everyone raise your glasses. Let's have a blast tonight."
They raised them high and clinked; the three guys laughed joyfully, hyping the vibe.
Jin-seong's face flushed as the buzz hit.
The room lights dimmed softly,
and the air filled with the sweet scent of cognac.
"Oppa, you really hold your liquor well."
Eun-ji, sitting beside him, cheeks rosy,
flashed a bright smile.
Twenty years old, her youthful face still carried that fresh, innocent feel.
"Nah? I'm super drunk right now."
Jin-seong tossed back a joking reply with a laugh.
Eun-ji lightly smacked his shoulder playfully in response.
"What do you do, oppa?"
"Just this and that, mostly stock-related stuff."
Eun-ji smiled knowingly and handed him the mic.
Borrowing the alcohol's courage to liven things up,
Jin-seong picked a song he was confident in.
As the song started and lights dimmed,
hands slid toward each partner's chest.
The girls pretended to protest, but looking at Goni and Dong-hoon,
they were kissing during song time, groping breasts,
playing all sticky and intense.
When the song ended, they paused to cheer.
"Jin's really got the pipes!"
In truth, Jin-seong's singing was just average,
and drunk, it was a mess, but
Goni raised his glass beside him, adding hype.
Dong-hoon too had a heavy buzz, face red and flushed.
Everyone was laughing and enjoying the time.
Before long, the fourth bottle of cognac sat empty on the table,
and the mood ripened further.
The girls were tipsy too, eyes glazing slightly.
Jin-seong asked Eun-ji,
"Eun-ji, do you girls do seconds?"
"No, oppa. We just work the street and don't do afters."
Eun-ji said that with a playful smile at Jin-seong.
Jin-seong felt disappointed.
Hard to find—a perfect 20-year-old match for his taste.
"Ah... too bad, you're exactly my type."
"Can't be helped. We came in on street work,
and if we do afters on our own, we get in trouble.
I like you too, oppa—so regrettable."
Even if it was smooth talk, Eun-ji said it so sweetly
that Jin-seong, nicely buzzed, felt great.
With no choice, Jin-seong had Dong-hoon sing a song.
As it started, Jin-seong groped Eun-ji's chest, teasing her nipple.
Maybe B-cup, small nipple—nice to touch.
Kissing her brought booze breath; sucking her little tongue,
Eun-ji flinched but took it well.
He kissed passionately till the song's end, and finally slipped a hand over her panties—
wet. Soaked.
Eun-ji startled, pushed his hand away; Jin-seong regretfully pulled back.
"Oppa, you're so bad...!"
At his hand play, Eun-ji blushed deeply in embarrassment.
Jin-seong found her adorable like that.
Jin-seong asked where the bathroom was; Eun-ji said outside.
"You haven't gone yet either—wanna go together?"
At his question, Eun-ji, who apparently needed to go,
said,
"Yeah, oppa, let's go."
She told the others they'd be back from the bathroom and they went out holding hands.
The bathroom was in a dim corner outside, shared.
Weekday dawn, no other customers around.
Jin-seong relieved himself heartily at the urinal,
Eun-ji went into the stall with the toilet.
Jin-seong finished, washed his hands, and waited for Eun-ji.
Flush sound came; she emerged, adjusting her clothes.
"Oppa, did I make you wait long?"
"Nah? I just finished and washed up."
In the bright bathroom light, Eun-ji looked even younger.
Jin-seong couldn't hold back, pinned her against the wall,
and kissed her.
Alone, Eun-ji responded eagerly,
wrapping her arms around his neck.
The bathroom echoed only with heavy breaths.
Jin-seong's hand slipped into her panties.
This time, he nudged them aside, touching bare flesh—drenched.
He kept kissing, fingering busily.
His finger entered the slightly hairy slit of Eun-ji's pussy.
The moment it did, her legs weakened, knees buckling slightly,
but she held on with arms around his neck.
Tears welled in her eyes;
she made cute "mmph" sounds in mild resistance.
Not too aggressive about it.
Seeing how wet she was, Eun-ji was excited too,
but the public bathroom made her anxious about someone coming.
Jin-seong locked the door, pulled down her panties,
turned her around,
and while she was dazed from booze and arousal, dropped his pants
and thrust his cock quickly into her pussy.
"Ack... oppa, not here..."
"Gonna cum quick... just hold on a sec."
"Ah... no, really... ah, oppa..."
Wet slapping sounds rang as Jin-seong pistoned fast.
Eun-ji soon arched her back, ass up,
accepting him perfectly.
"Ahng, oppa, too fast."
"Huff... damn, this feels so good. Why so tight?"
Jin-seong pounded her pussy wildly.
The thought of fucking a 20-year-old amped his excitement,
and her body and cute looks visually thrilled him too.
"Ang... oppa, what if people come... aa..."
"Cumming soon—one minute."
Wanting to finish before anyone arrived, Jin-seong sped up;
Eun-ji reacted.
Her walls clenched hard; feeling close,
he said he was cumming, grabbed her head,
shoved into her mouth, and released.
Eun-ji hadn't expected oral,
but under his push, swallowed all his load.
Exhausted, she spat into the sink, rinsed it away.
Eun-ji felt good despite the drunken impulse.
It'd been ages since sex with a guy, and a young oppa, not some old dude.
Jin-seong and Eun-ji fixed their clothes, kissed once more,
held hands, and returned to the room.
The others and girls teased them for taking so long—what'd you do?
"We just made out and flirted outside—what's it to you? Play among yourselves."
"Oppa!"
At Jin-seong's bold words, the girls cheered;
Eun-ji shyly smacked his arm.
They dove back into the fun, steamy play.
Jin-seong got Eun-ji's number;
she inputted it.
Secretly from the other girls, he slipped her 200,000 won tip.
Loud music and laughter never stopped,
and Jin-seong felt light with long-missed liberation.
Tonight was a pretty good night.
