Chapter 248: Secret Weapon
“…Hmm?”
Choi I-seo felt a strange vibe the moment she stepped back into the house after buying cooking oil at a nearby mart.
The air felt a bit heavier than before she had left.
It was a bizarre atmosphere where a certain stuffiness and heat coexisted, yet the windows were wide open.
“Guys?”
As Choi I-seo walked inside with a puzzled expression, Kim Woo-jin finally emerged from the bathroom.
“Yeah, did you call?”
“No… isn’t it kind of hot in here?”
“Right? I thought so too, so I wanted to turn on the AC. But since Ah-rin isn't here, I felt a bit awkward just turning it on.”
What is this?
Even though it was a perfectly normal exchange, Choi I-seo couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.
However, since Kim Woo-jin naturally went over to the sofa and sat down, she didn't press further and headed to the kitchen.
She was about to get back to work and finish the food she had started.
“I-seo, you’re back? Want me to help with anything?”
Seo Ye-rin, wearing an oversized shirt, approached her with a smile.
Wait, where did she just come from?
A slight doubt flickered in her mind, but seeing the oyster pancakes getting cold, I-seo spoke urgently.
“Just take these oyster pancakes and start eating. They taste terrible once they get cold.”
“Got it! I’ll make some soy sauce to dip them in.”
Seo Ye-rin quickly whipped up a simple sauce by shaking a bit of pepper into some soy sauce.
She was about to carry it over to Kim Woo-jin when—
“Whoa?!”
Her legs suddenly buckled, and her waist jerked backward.
She almost spilled everything.
Choi I-seo gasped, startled by Seo Ye-rin’s trembling legs.
“Are you okay? Are you hurt?”
“O-Oh, no. I had a really rough shoot today, so my legs are just a bit weak.”
“You said it was an action scene, right?”
I-seo didn't know much about filming, but she realized actors really did suffer for their craft.
“Whoops! I’ll take that!”
Kim Woo-jin hopped over on one foot to the trembling Seo Ye-rin and snatched the plate away.
“I told you to take it easy—”
“No, you were the one being so aggressive—”
Watching the two of them whisper to each other as they walked away left Choi I-seo feeling uneasy.
No way…
No matter how she thought about it, she had only been at the mart for about ten minutes.
Could something like that really have happened in such a short time?
Ten minutes isn't even enough to set the mood.
For Choi I-seo, who always prioritized the atmosphere whenever they were intimate, she believed it was impossible to just shove it in, pump, and finish without any build-up.
While Choi I-seo reached her own conclusion, Seo Ye-rin and Kim Woo-jin were busy whispering to each other.
“W-What should I do, Woo-jin? I think it’s going to leak.”
“…!”
“Wh-What did you even eat to have this much—!”
“Shh! Quiet! Ahem, just go to the bathroom. The bathroom.”
While Choi I-seo wasn't looking, Seo Ye-rin shuffled toward the bathroom in an awkward crab walk stance.
The fact that she had asked him to bring her a fresh pair of panties, but he didn't know whose bag was whose and just gave her one of his own, was an added bonus.

Late evening.
Yoo Ah-rin and I were flipping through the remote, looking for a movie to watch.
Thanks to OTT services being so good lately, we didn't have to spend extra money and had a wide pool of choices.
“Seriously, who watches horror at this hour?”
“I told you, it’s not horror, it’s a thriller. It’s famous for being based on a true story and really good.”
On the contrary, because there were too many choices, we were struggling.
I knew Yoo Ah-rin hated horror, but this was a thriller.
“Is a ghost the same as a killer? They’re different!”
“How are they different?! They both jump out and scare you!”
“They’re different! You can actually beat up a killer!”
“No…! That’s—.”
Yoo Ah-rin actually paused to think about it.
Then, she crossed her arms and began to ponder seriously.
“What kind of weapon is he holding?”
“…You have to watch the movie to find out.”
People who know how to fight always take things so seriously when you bring stuff like this up.
While we were debating over the movie, Choi I-seo and Seo Ye-rin were stretching in the corner of the living room.
“Aaaaagh! It hurts! Help me! It really hurts!”
“…Ye-rin, your body is way too stiff.”
“Kyahhh!”
Choi I-seo was stretching out the inflexible Seo Ye-rin. Apparently, she was practicing how she would train internet broadcasters at her new job starting tomorrow.
Seo Ye-rin had become her first practice partner.
“It hurths! It weally hurths!”
“I’m giving you a massage, Ye-rin. Your muscles are all knotted up.”
“Aaaagh!”
I-seo said she’d do me after Seo Ye-rin. I think I’ll pass.
I-seo was actually quite diligent with her massages, stretching, and exercises, wherever she had learned them.
I once told her she’d make a good PT trainer, but she said she had no intention of taking it beyond a hobby.
“Fine, let’s watch this.”
In the end, Yoo Ah-rin agreed to my choice.
It seemed she had run a mental simulation of fighting the killer on the poster and decided she could win.
“…Glad to hear you won.”
I started the movie.
The sounds of Seo Ye-rin and Choi I-seo stretching continued beside us, but we paid them no mind.
Since the movie was a thriller, there were many provocative or urgent scenes.
This was exactly what I was aiming for.
Honestly, horror and thrillers are pretty much the same thing.
I was planning to use the moments when Yoo Ah-rin got scared to hug her or naturally initiate the skinship she had restricted since we were at her house.
Thud!
The moment the killer suddenly appeared in an alleyway for a jump scare—
Whoosh!
This girl suddenly stood up and pulled a weaving maneuver.
“…….”
“Tsk, if I had reacted there, I would have already—”
Man, I really don't want to watch this anymore.
I thought a classic scenario would unfold, but I never imagined she’d actually be fighting the killer in her head.
“Hey, sit down. I can’t see the TV.”
When I snapped at her, Yoo Ah-rin sat back down, looking sheepish.
If it was going to be like this, I should have just suggested an adult movie.
That would have been too blatant, so I tried to be clever with a thriller, but it had zero effect.
The other two stretching were the same.
“Yawn. If you’re going to keep watching, I’m going to bed. I have to get up early tomorrow.”
Choi I-seo reacted indifferently even during the chase scenes and headed into the main room.
“Tsk, I wonder if I’ll ever get a role like that. Like a female serial killer.”
Seo Ye-rin, on the other hand, watched the killer intently, analyzing the role and practicing her acting.
Eventually, thirty minutes later.
I ended up watching a showdown between Seo Ye-rin, who was acting like a killer, and Yoo Ah-rin, who was running simulations on how to fight such a killer.
“Aaaagh! It hurts!”
Of course, Seo Ye-rin lost in two seconds.
…Sigh, I should just sleep.
Watching Seo Ye-rin get pinned by Yoo Ah-rin, I just turned off the TV and pulled up the blanket.
* * *
“Ugh, mmm.”
I woke up, rubbing my eyes.
Sleeping in the living room, I noticed it was still dark outside the curtains and realized it was dawn.
Feeling a familiar warmth at my lower half, I closed my eyes again.
Slurp, suck.
Does she do this every morning?
From the tongue work to the way she rubbed her chest against me, I felt like Seo Ye-rin was getting better by the day.
“Ye-rin, are you going to do this every day?”
A muffled voice answered from under the blanket.
“Mmm-hmm! Isn’t it a wife’s duty to take care of morning wood?”
“I don’t know which country has that duty, but it’s a damn good one.”
They should make it a law.
Wait, which country?
Oh, right.
I forgot I was supposed to talk to the girls about what Big Hyung said.
“Ye-rin, are you leaving for work early today too?”
“Mmm!”
“Don’t talk with your mouth full. Just come out, I have something to tell you.”
Despite my words, Seo Ye-rin’s movements became even faster and more skillful.
Eventually, time passed.
Gulp.
Swallowing something, Seo Ye-rin emerged from under the blanket with a bright smile.
“It’s really thick. Is it because you ate eel?”
…And oysters, so maybe.
Since I had hurt my leg, the girls had been feeding me all sorts of stamina-boosting foods.
“It’s because you’re good at it.”
“Hehe.”
In times like this, the best thing to say isn't about the eel or oysters; it’s praising Seo Ye-rin.
“My thighs are stinging because we went so hard last night.”
“It was a time attack, after all.”
We moved into the pillow talk we couldn't have yesterday. We were pressed for time, but the sex had been that much more intense.
“I think I was more turned on because we did it somewhere we weren't supposed to.”
“Next thing I know, you’ll be asking to do it outdoors.”
“…….”
Seeing her not answer, she’s definitely going to ask.
“But you said you had something to tell me. What is it?”
“Oh, that.”
I explained that Big Hyung offered to send us on an overseas trip to a place of our choice as a reward if I attended his reunion.
Seo Ye-rin tilted her head, looking slightly puzzled.
“What do you have to do for him? I don’t think he’d send us on an overseas trip just for attending.”
“I don’t know. He hasn't asked for anything specific yet.”
“Hmm, we should think about this. Something weird might happen if we just go.”
“True. If you guys tell me not to go, I won’t.”
“Mhm, good thinking.”
Seo Ye-rin gave a beaming smile.
Then, seeing her disheveled hair in the full-length mirror, she rushed to the bathroom.
“Ah, my hair!”
Her hair was much messier than yesterday because she had moved more vigorously.
I chuckled as I watched her run to the bathroom, then slowly closed my eyes again.
* * *
“Whew.”
Waking up in the morning, Choi I-seo headed out.
Her part-time job started today.
It was a bit of a distance, but thanks to Kim Woo-jin lending her a bicycle, she arrived quickly.
She decided to commute by bike from now on, and since he had told her to take good care of it so no one would steal it, Choi I-seo brought the bike right inside the building.
It was a two-story building.
As she entered, she saw Oh Yun-ji already at work, scolding a female streamer.
“I told you not to do things like that!”
“B-But… the viewers liked it.”
“You’ve barely started streaming! If you get a reputation for that kind of provocative stuff, you’ll only attract the most toxic viewers!”
Oh Yun-ji was holding a black bunny girl outfit.
It seemed like streaming while wearing that had caused the problem.
“We scouted you because we thought your wit and personality were charming. You don’t need to be so impatient.”
“……I understand.”
Looking at her like that, she really does seem like a boss.
Scolding sternly when needed.
Consoling gently afterward.
The female streamer seemed moved, nodding with a touched expression.
“Sigh, I’m confiscating this for now. I’ll give it back for something like Halloween. Wear it then as a special event.”
“Yes, ma’am!”
With that, Oh Yun-ji took the bunny girl outfit.
Suddenly, Choi I-seo’s eyes were glued to it.
If I wore that…
Would Kim Woo-jin, whose sexual drive was currently flagging, like it?
Even this morning, she had secretly peeked under the blanket of the sleeping Kim Woo-jin before leaving.
Seeing his limp lower half, she had felt a sense of pity.
Choi I-seo took a deep breath and clenched her fists.
It was time to make a move.
She had just found the most powerful weapon she could possibly prepare.
