Chapter 417: Waxing Shop(3)
I want to call my big brother.
The reason was simple.
It was because I had found a true talent.
“M-many customers these days have tattoos. Surprisingly, a lot of people come in for that reason.”
Look at this person, performing her duties with such an overwhelming sense of responsibility.
“Tattoos can get obscured by hair, after all. I heard that overseas, waxing shops are often located right next to tattoo parlors for that very reason.”
Just look at this employee, spouting all sorts of nonsense just to carry out the options assigned to her.
“Ha, haha… I, I don’t have a partner myself. I’m quite jealous.”
If I could give her an award, I would do so in a heartbeat.
Should I give her a tip?
“C-customer, is there anywhere that hurts?”
“My heart.”
“Pardon?”
“No, nothing. Nowhere hurts. I’m comfortable.”
“Ah, okay.”
The technician was working hard.
Honestly, because of the emotional trauma, I didn't even care that my lower regions were stinging.
A moment of heavy silence followed. The technician seemed to understand how I was feeling; she started to say something but then stopped, which only made the awkwardness stab deeper into my chest.
“Um, it might be a bit much for me to say this, but…”
The technician finally broke the silence.
She stole a glance up at me and spoke in the lightest tone possible.
“I’m a professional. So, no matter what happens inside the treatment room, I keep my mouth shut. I never breathe a word of it to anyone. That’s the trust I have with my clients.”
“…”
“Besides, there are plenty of people who find themselves in much more embarrassing situations. To be honest, in your case, it’s actually on the cute side.”
“…Is my ‘thing’ cute?”
“…That’s not what I meant.”
My apologies.
I got defensive without realizing it.
“Anyway, so you don’t have to feel so awkward. I’m actually jealous because it seems like you’re sharing such a cute kind of love.”
The technician gave a refreshing, aegyo-filled smile. I couldn't see it well because of her mask, but it put my mind at ease.
“If you ever get fired from here, let me know.”
“Pardon?”
I made a vow through my tears.
If this person ever found herself in a difficult situation, I would definitely help her.
“Anyway. So don’t be too discouraged. I’m pulling now!”
“Yes, thank—AAAGH! F-FUUUUCK!”
“…”
“Ahem, I-I’m sorry.”
No, it hurt so much that the curse just flew out of my mouth.
“By the way, where did the teddy bear go? I want to hold onto it at least.”
“The person you came with pulled on it so hard that it ripped…”
“I’m sorry.”
“No! It’s fine! Alright, one more pull!”
“Guaaaaagh!”
Dammit, it hurts so much!
Why did I agree to do this?
Does it even make sense to pay money to receive this kind of hellish pain?
Shouldn't I be the one getting paid?
‘Ah, I’m seriously gonna die.’
Once this is over, I’m going to ask the girls to blow on it to make it feel better.
I wanted to thrash around, but since I couldn't, I just tilted my head slightly.
I could smell their faint scent.
It was only natural, considering they had just received their treatments here.
There was the smell of disinfectant, but their distinct body scents still lingered.
Should I go to a hotel with them after this?
I don't know if we can actually have sex, but I want to see what state they're in.
As I began to imagine things along with their scent, strength unintentionally began to gather in my lower half.
‘Oh, shit.’
My ‘thing’ stood tall as if it would pierce through the gown. In a situation where I felt like crying again, the technician spoke with a smile, acting as if she hadn't seen a thing.
“Alright, pulling again!”
Rip!
“AAAAAGH! SHIIIIIT! You put some emotion into that one, didn't you?!”
“Pardon!?”
“Ah, no. It’s nothing. Never mind.”
This person is a god-tier professional.
How can she act so unfazed?
“It’s okay! It’s not weird! It actually happens quite often with male customers.”
The technician gave an aegyo-filled smile, insisting it was normal. Wondering if this person was actually an angel, I blurted out an excuse through my tears.
“The truth is, my male hormone levels are incredibly high. So it just stands up on its own in unintended situations. Also, I’ve eaten a lot of really healthy food since I was young—”
Riiiip!
“AAAGH! You pulled without saying anything, you fuuuuck!”
“Ahem, s-sorry. I did that without thinking.”
“You definitely put emotion into it! And it’s only happening because the girls’ scent is still in here!”
“No, I said I understand. You don’t have to explain. I was trying to pretend I didn't notice, so why are you bringing it up?!”
“Ugh, thank you, ma’am.”
“Goodness, what a mood swing…”
The technician applied something that was supposed to be a sedative. A brief silence followed, and as the embarrassment washed over me, I opened my mouth again without thinking.
“It’s not cute, right?”
“Are you testing me?! Why do you keep bringing the subject back to that when I’m trying to ignore it for your sake?!”
“No, I just felt a bit of a competitive streak without realizing it.”
“Forget it. I’m not answering that.”
“Ahem, sorry.”
I got scolded.
I tried to rack my brain for a way to change the subject.
But there was only one thing I was truly curious about.
“By the way, is it okay to go to a hotel right after this?”
“…”
“No, I’m just curious.”
“I treated the lady earlier, and she asked the exact same thing.”
Based on the order, it was probably Ye-rin.
“There’s a forty-eight-hour abstinence period. If there’s too much friction, it could cause inflammation.”
“Aha, thank you.”
Wait, didn't she say she wouldn't talk about what happened inside the treatment room?
She just blurted out that Seo Ye-rin asked the same thing.
Anyway, it felt like it was finally coming to an end.
But it seemed there was one more thing left.
“Alright, now please turn over.”
“Pardon?”
“You know the cat pose, right? Please do that for me.”
“…”
She wanted me to do the cat pose, something I’d never even done in front of the girls?
Honestly, I felt a surge of resistance, but the technician was already prepared and staring at me expectantly.
“Ugh.”
Kim Woo-jin, the man.
Though it was humiliating, I had no choice but to strike the cat pose.

‘What a fascinating customer.’
She had seen many customers, but she felt this was one she would remember for a long time.
The three women he came with were all incredible beauties.
He was likely the hidden boyfriend of the actress Seo Ye-rin, but that sort of thing was common in this industry.
Naturally, keeping her mouth shut was included in her salary.
However, the man before her was unique, to the point where it was hard to see him as just an actress’s boyfriend.
‘And that graffiti…’
Property of Yerini…
It was still a bit shocking, but she was a professional, so she tried her best to act like it was nothing.
Since her job involved frequently encountering embarrassing situations for her clients, she was very skilled at handling them.
Occasionally asking strange questions or getting an erection…
These were actually common mistakes that regular male customers made, so she could overlook them.
‘I didn't expect him to ask if it was cute, though.’
Well, honestly, it wasn't cute.
Leaving any further review would be rude to the customer, and her professional pride wouldn't allow it, so she let it slide, but…
‘…Is he mixed race?’
That was about the extent of her curiosity.
‘Almost done.’
He was one of the most difficult customers she’d ever had, but at the same time, he was so absurd that he made her want to burst out laughing.
Now, all that was left was the hair removal around the anus.
Usually, this was where she faced difficulties regarding hygiene, but this customer didn't seem to have that problem, so she wasn't too worried.
‘But he looks familiar.’
Seo Ye-rin was famous as an actress, so that made sense.
But the man striking the awkward cat pose in front of her also looked familiar, though she couldn't quite place him.
In an age with such an overflow of information, she might have seen him somewhere, but she couldn't remember every face.
“L-like this?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
The way he trembled in shame was almost cute. Seeing the graffiti they’d drawn on each other, it seemed like a cute prank when she thought of them as college students.
‘How fresh.’
Just as she was about to start the procedure, feeling a bit envious…
Above his buttocks.
Another piece of graffiti written on his pelvis.
[Connection Complete]
Her hands began to tremble.
She was so shaken she could barely perform the procedure properly.
Is this what the decadent private lives of celebrities are like?
She felt pathetic for thinking they were just "fresh" a moment ago, and in that instant, she decided she never wanted to be involved with people like them.
‘Until the day I die.’
She would keep this a secret and take it to her grave.

“The technician’s gaze toward me wasn't very good toward the end.”
We had just left the waxing shop.
At my words, the three of them looked at me simultaneously.
“Did you do something weird, you prick?”
“No. It wasn't like that. Our conversation was actually pretty decent at first.”
“The atmosphere was decent?”
Choi I-seo glared at me.
“No, I mean we were being friendly. There was a bit of a crisis, but… you know, before that cat pose? The atmosphere was fine until then.”
On the contrary, the mood got weird starting from the cat pose.
It felt like she was really wary of me.
“Really?”
Seo Ye-rin was busy eating ice cream in the middle of winter.
The way she was slurping it made me want to flick her forehead.
“Hey, Seo Ye-rin. Do you have any idea how awkward it was because of you?!”
“Huh?”
When Seo Ye-rin asked what I meant, I explained what had just happened.
“Pfft! Hahaha!”
Yoo Ah-rin clutched her stomach and hung her head, trying to stifle her laughter.
“…Woo-jin.”
Choi I-seo looked at me with pity.
“Aha! So you made it perfectly clear to her that you’re mine, Woo-jin!”
Finally, Seo Ye-rin, who didn't give a damn about my humiliation, was just happy that I’d made it clear I was hers.
“Sigh, at least the technician was a good sport about it.”
“Pwahaha! Seo Ye-rin is seriously so funny.”
“Ehehe, it was nothing.”
“Don’t praise her. You’ll just give Ye-rin more weird ideas.”
Choi I-seo treated Seo Ye-rin like a child.
But for once, I agreed.
I seriously never want to go through that experience again.
If Seo Ye-rin weren't so pretty, I might have hit her with a Dempsey Roll right then and there.
Choi I-seo, who was stroking Seo Ye-rin’s hair as if she found her ice-cream-eating habit cute, suddenly voiced a doubt.
“But on the other hand, if she was flexible enough to accept that kind of graffiti, what did you do after that to make her act like that?”
“Now that I think about it… you’re right.”
“Did you even wash properly? Seriously, I heard there are some gross guys when it comes to waxing.”
“No, that’s definitely not it! I washed like a madman!”
This was unfair.
I’d seen a few stories like that myself, so I was extremely careful about hygiene.
Slurp, slurp.
Seo Ye-rin continued to suck on her ice cream. Looking at her eating so innocently, I asked cautiously.
“Ye-rin, was there any other graffiti besides those?”
Slurp. “Huh?”
“I mean, besides the ‘Beast’ on my chest and the ‘Property of Yerini’ one. Was there anything else?”
Slurp, slurp. “Not really—”
Seo Ye-rin’s expression froze mid-sentence. As if she’d remembered something, her mouth fell open, and she pointed toward my backside.

“Wow, those customers earlier were like a whirlwind.”
“That was the most difficult group of customers I’ve ever had in my life.”
“But they were cute, weren't they?”
“True, they were all pretty and fresh, so they were cute in their own way.”
The two technicians were chatting at the counter after finishing the treatments.
She had quite a bit of experience working at a waxing shop, but she’d never seen such "innovative" customers before.
It wasn't unpleasant; it was actually quite entertaining.
‘Though the last part was a bit scary.’
She was a bit shocked because she hadn't expected them to lead such a lewd lifestyle.
Just then.
The automatic door of the waxing shop slid open, and Kim Woo-jin burst inside.
Drenched in sweat, he shouted desperately.
“THAT’S NOT WHAT IT MEANS!”
