Chapter 125: Gun
Seeing Seo Ye-rin look like she was on the verge of tears just because I said I was sleeping with Kim Woo-jin was actually quite cute.
‘She’s just like me.’
Seeing her just as restless and consumed by jealousy as I was...
It actually started to put my mind at ease.
Ye-rin, flustered and blabbering whatever came to mind, was adorable. Even as a fellow woman, Yoo Ah-rin couldn't help but find her charming.
‘But that’s that, and this is this.’
Unfortunately for Ye-rin, Yoo Ah-rin wasn't the type of woman to waver or change her mind over something like that.
"Get up, you bastard."
Ah-rin turned her head and snapped at Kim Woo-jin, who immediately scrambled to his feet.
Despite acting like he was at death's door earlier, seeing him standing there awkwardly made it clear he had just been being dramatic.
"Ahem."
As Kim Woo-jin let out an awkward cough, Yoo Ah-rin prepared to lead him away.
"W-Wait a second!"
Seo Ye-rin followed them urgently, trying to stop them. She hovered around Ah-rin, looking as frantic as if her tail were on fire.
"Ah-rin! It—it’s your first time! Shouldn't you treasure it?!"
"You’ve got a lot of nerve saying that."
The Seo Ye-rin that Yoo Ah-rin knew used to be incredibly hesitant to talk about such things.
‘Just how much has he corrupted her?’
She glared at Kim Woo-jin, wondering exactly how lewd their life together had been for Seo Ye-rin to speak about sex so casually.
Of course, from Kim Woo-jin’s perspective, it was quite unfair, but he wasn't in a position to speak up right now.
"You did it, but you're telling me not to?"
When Yoo Ah-rin glared at her in disbelief, Seo Ye-rin hesitated, seemingly having no rebuttal for that, but she didn't back down. She was genuinely worried that Yoo Ah-rin and Kim Woo-jin would actually go through with it.
‘Right, Ye-rin is only human too.’
No matter how pretty she was, she was still human. There is no such thing as absolute confidence. She had acted tough in front of her, but now that reality was staring her in the face, she couldn't help but be jealous.
"See, Ye-rin? Cooperation is impossible."
Yoo Ah-rin grabbed Kim Woo-jin’s arm firmly and made a final declaration.
"I’m taking this guy. You go find someone else."
"A-Ah-rin? You’re coming back to the room tonight, right? Right?! I—I’ll wait for you! I’ll order chicken and wait for you!"
"Shut it. I’m becoming a woman tonight."
"Ah-rinnnnn! T-Then I’ll help you! Since it’s your first time, I’ll stay by your side and help!"
"Are you insane?"
Ah-rin could see from Ye-rin's teary eyes how desperate she was to keep Kim Woo-jin to herself, but spouting crazy nonsense like that was crossing a line.
"Excuse me?"
Kim Woo-jin, who had been listening silently, finally chimed in.
"What about my opinion?"
He raised his hand, asserting his basic human rights, but...
"You’re going to do it anyway, so stop playing hard to get."
"You just do whatever we tell you to do anyway!"
Treated like some kind of animal, he muttered, "These crazy bitches," under his breath and shut his mouth again.
Judging by his silence, he might have cursed, but he clearly didn't think they were wrong.
"Ye-rin? The Assistant Manager is calling for you."
It looked like the conversation would drag on, but fortunately, Seo Ye-rin was still on the clock. Called away by a fellow part-timer, she had no choice but to head back with a miserable expression.
Lee Seo-ah and Han Bom returned after finishing their bread shopping, and since it was time to clock out, they all decided to head back together.
* * *
‘I said all that, but...’
Inside the bus heading back to the lodging.
I was lost in serious thought.
‘Are we really doing it?’
Yoo Ah-rin’s declaration that we were having sex today kept echoing in my ears. No matter how much experience I had, I couldn't help but feel my heart racing.
Maintaining a subtle tension, I stole a glance at Yoo Ah-rin. She was leaning her chin on her hand, staring out the window. I wondered what she was looking at so intently, considering it was a view she saw every day.
‘This is awkward.’
In truth, even if we actually decided to do it, that presented its own set of problems. We could buy protection at a convenience store, but we didn't have a proper place.
Even though we were staying at a hotel, it didn't seem right to book another room just for this. Especially since it was peak season, the rates at the Gold One Hotel were absolutely insane. We came here to earn money, not spend it.
I didn't want to waste money, especially since things would get really tight once the second semester started.
"Hey."
Yoo Ah-rin glanced at me and asked.
"Where did you do it with Ye-rin last time?"
So she was worrying about the same thing.
"......At our lodging."
"The lodging?"
Yoo Ah-rin tilted her head, seemingly surprised by the answer. Perhaps because it was unexpected, she continued her innocent questioning with wide eyes.
"But your roommates were there."
"W-Well, the first time, no one was around."
"Ah."
She nodded, understanding how we caught the right moment, but then her eyes narrowed as if something felt off.
"The first time? What does that mean?"
"......Do I really have to tell you?"
Honestly, it was a bit embarrassing, and it felt like a matter of privacy between Ye-rin and me.
"......"
Yoo Ah-rin stared at me suspiciously, then decided to take a jab.
"It’s not like you did it secretly so the roommates wouldn't hear, right?"
"No, we didn't."
"You son of a... you did, didn't you?"
Wait, what?
How did she know?
Yoo Ah-rin bit her lip and glared at me, looking offended.
"Look, I get that you're torn between me and Ye-rin. But don't take advantage of that."
"What are you talking about?"
"I'm saying don't fill Ye-rin's head with weird ideas. Don't try to satisfy your own twisted fetishes by pitting us against each other."
Now, this was genuinely unfair.
Ye-rin was the one who suggested doing it on the balcony, and she was the one who coaxed me into doing it quietly even after the others arrived.
‘She says this because she doesn't know the Sex Master.’
I figured it was inevitable to hear this since even her best friend didn't know Ye-rin's true nature.
It was a bit frustrating, but...
If she asked if I hadn't enjoyed it, I had no defense. Seo Ye-rin’s reaction—struggling and stifling her moans every time I thrust—was beyond delicious; it was sweet. Especially when she tried to pull away, saying she couldn't take it anymore, and I held her down...
"Ahem."
I shouldn't have imagined it.
Recalling that moment made my frustration vanish. I had enjoyed it quite a bit.
‘The more I think about it, the less unfair it feels.’
Once I coolly accepted that I was an accomplice, my mind felt much lighter. Seeing my expression, Yoo Ah-rin narrowed her eyes and let out a sigh.
"D-Don't ask Ye-rin to do those things. Just tell me. Got it?"
"Did you already forget what you just said?"
She just told me not to force things by fueling competition, so what was she talking about?
But Yoo Ah-rin just gave my shoulder a sharp poke and snapped at me.
"Shut up! I'm not saying it because of Ye-rin, I'm just saying I can do it for you!"
"......"
We stared at each other, both our faces flushed. Yoo Ah-rin, seemingly embarrassed, flicked her gaze downward.
"Why is it standing up?"
She glared at me, frowning as she noticed the movement in my pants.
She's the one who made it stand.
To be honest, imagining the time with Ye-rin had already given it some life, but Yoo Ah-rin’s confession dealt the finishing blow.
"It's not standing."
I tried to deny it for now.
"Then what is that?"
"It's a self-defense gun."
"A popgun?"
This little bitch?
As Yoo Ah-rin smirked and stared at it, I tried to make an excuse.
"It's just because it's tucked down."
"Tucked down? What does that mean?"
"There's such a thing."
Sensing something curious, Yoo Ah-rin began to stare at it intently, as if conducting a study. In response, I reflexively flexed.
"......Why did it just twitch?"
As she pointed at my member with her finger, I slapped my forehead and let out a sigh.
"It says it's shy because you're staring. Please, look somewhere else."
"Can I touch it?"
As if I'd say yes.
"Be my guest."
Oh, for fuck's sake.
As I slapped my own mouth for being its own worst enemy, Yoo Ah-rin cautiously reached out her hand.
"It... it’s definitely not a popgun."
"Call it a shotgun."
"It's not quite that big..."
Cruel woman.
She was cautious at first, but since it was through the fabric of my pants, she got used to it quickly. Her fingers began to explore here and there like she was on an adventure.
"Where's the trigger?"
As she grew more relaxed, she asked with a sly, mischievous grin. I finally gave up, let out a sigh, and looked up at the bus ceiling.
"It's a pump-action shotgun, so you have to move it up and down to load it."
"Hehe, Kim Woo-jin, you crazy bastard."
Feeling more comfortable, Yoo Ah-rin continued to fiddle with it while humming to herself.
"Hey, we're not actually doing it today, right?"
I asked cautiously, feeling like I wouldn't be able to hold back if this continued. Yoo Ah-rin’s expression darkened slightly. She had probably just blurted it out earlier because she didn't want to lose to Ye-rin. She likely wasn't actually prepared for it today.
"I-I'll think about it."
"What's there to think about? If you're that worried, it's better not to. Don't let your pride get the better of you."
"......"
She seemed to waver at my words, showing signs of backing down. She probably realized she had overreacted because of Ye-rin.
Ye-rin was always the problem.
"Choi I-seo was like that too. If we do it now, it's not because you want to, but because you're anxious about Ye-rin... AAAAGH!?"
I let out a scream in spite of myself at the sudden, sharp pain in my lower half. People on the bus glanced over, but only for a moment.
"What is it, Woo-jin?"
"What's wrong?"
Lee Seo-ah and Han Bom asked from the seat behind us, but I brushed it off as nothing.
"It—it hurts!"
Tears pricked my eyes from how hard she had squeezed. Yoo Ah-rin was huffing, glaring at me with fire in her eyes.
"You sure find it easy to talk about other girls, don't you?"
"N-No, it was just... Okay! I'm sorry! It really, really hurts!"
As I struggled and pleaded for mercy while she held my greatest weakness hostage, Yoo Ah-rin grit her teeth and made a declaration.
"I have a key card for an empty hotel room."
"W-Why do you have that?"
I really wished she'd let go. I felt like my shotgun was going to snap and turn into a popgun.
"The Vice Chairman's secretary gave it to me. Said to use it if I needed it."
My sister-in-law, seriously... If she was going to do that, she should have given it to me. I don't know why she gave it to Ah-rin.
"Follow me if you don't want it ripped off, you bastard."
With my hostage held tight, I had no choice but to nod tearfully at her forceful command.
