Eunbi's Triumphant Return
Friday, 6 PM. Club room.
"Haa…… So she's not coming today either……"
I leaned back in the old chair and let out a sigh.
The sunset light streaming through the window bathed the empty club room in orange hues, and I could see dust floating in the beams of light.
Only the fan hummed as it spun, its noise making the silence feel even heavier.
The season when I'd have to turn off the fan and put it away in storage was already approaching.
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. And today, Friday.
It had already been four days since Eunbi last showed up at the club room.
I felt incredibly lonely. She must have lost interest in me by now.
She'd played with me enough, so she'd probably tossed me aside to hang out with someone else. Maybe she even got a boyfriend.
With her idol-level beauty, it was strange she didn't have one already.
The rumor that a pretty girl had joined the business department in March had probably spread across the entire campus, and guys would be lining up to approach her.
Still, if she was going to quit the club, she could've at least said something.
I didn't have the courage to contact her first on my phone.
Eunbi had been like a villainess to me.
She blackmailed me with the handkerchief incident, forced me to cross-dress, restrained me, violated my rear, took humiliating cross-dressing photos, dragged me to the hospital, and subjected me to all sorts of humiliation.
I should've been happy to be free from her blackmail and released cleanly. Of course I should've been happy.
But I wasn't happy at all.
I usually liked being alone, so I clearly hated being with someone.
That's why I wanted the club room to myself and wished to live quietly without being pushed around by others or causing any trouble.
Yet now that it had happened, why did I feel so down? It was an emotion I couldn't understand.
I covered my face with my hands and lowered my head. What the hell was wrong with me?
Bang!
Just then, the door swung open without any knock.
My heart nearly stopped. There was only one person who would open the club room door so rudely.
Startled, I jumped up and looked toward the door in a panic.
My heart felt like it was about to leap out of my throat, and tension coursed through my entire body.
Eunbi stood in the doorway.
She wore a white flare midi dress that reached her knees.
The design cinched at the waist and flared softly at the skirt, glowing like an angel's wings in the sunlight.
Her long black hair swayed over her shoulders, and her lips were coated with a soft pink lip gloss.
She smiled beautifully and waved at me.
For a moment, I thought an angel had descended from the sky.
"Yay~ Chaewon sunbae-nim, it's been a while!"
Her bright voice filled the club room.
I never thought I'd miss that voice so much after nearly a week without hearing it.
"Ah…… Hello……"
That was all I could manage to say. My voice trembled.
"Did you miss me?"
Eunbi asked with a grin.
Her eyes curved like crescent moons, full of playful mischief.
"N-not…… really?"
I answered, averting my gaze.
"I was actually…… enjoying being alone……?"
It was a lie. My words were the complete opposite of how I felt inside.
But I couldn't honestly say "I missed you."
Not only would my pride not allow it, but it wasn't my true feelings either.
Instead of sitting across from me, Eunbi nudged my thigh with her hip and came over to sit on the very chair I was occupying.
We ended up sharing the narrow chair, each perched on half of it.
The chair creaked under our weight, and I could feel Eunbi's body heat directly against my side.
Eunbi casually draped her arm around my shoulder and stared at me intently.
When her arm wrapped around my shoulder, my heart began pounding like crazy.
"Sunbae-nim. I clearly told you not to avoid my eyes and to look straight at me, didn't I? Look at me properly."
"Uh…… Yeah……"
I met her eyes from up close.
Her dark pupils sparkled as she looked down at me, her long eyelashes fluttering.
A subtle perfume scent tickled my nose. My whole body trembled.
When my cock cried out in pain inside the chastity cage, I couldn't last even five seconds before dropping my gaze to the floor again.
"Pfft."
Eunbi burst out laughing.
"Why are you more nervous than usual? More importantly, aren't you curious why I haven't come to the club room all this time?"
"Why…… why didn't you come……?"
I asked in a trembling voice.
"Don't you read the news, sunbae-nim?"
Eunbi held out her latest-model iPhone with a pink case.
A news article was displayed on the screen.
[Exclusive] Seohan University Hospital Embezzles 150 Million Won in Narcotic Drugs Over Several Years… Head Nurse and Specialist Arrested
Shocking revelations have emerged that a head nurse and a specialist at Seohan University Hospital conspired to embezzle narcotic medications over several years.
On the 15th, the Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors' Office announced the emergency arrest of Park (42), head nurse of the gastroenterology ward at Seohan University Hospital, and Jung (38), a specialist in the same ward, on charges of violating the Narcotics Control Act and occupational embezzlement.
According to prosecutors, the two had been siphoning off narcotic drugs such as propofol, fentanyl, and ketamine for approximately six years since 2020, with the total embezzled amount reaching around 152 million won. Park allegedly created false medication records using her position as head nurse, while Jung abused her authority to issue prescriptions.
A prosecutor's office source stated, "The investigation began with an anonymous internal tip, and the photographic evidence provided by the informant proved decisive."
Seohan University Hospital issued a deep apology and promised a complete overhaul of its medication management system.
"What…… You reported them?"
I asked in surprise. I'd sent her the photos I took, but I never expected her to actually report it.
"Rather than reporting it myself…… how should I put it."
Eunbi tapped her chin with her finger, pretending to think.
"My mom's a judge, my dad's a detective, and my brother's a prosecutor. So I was able to pull some strings. That's why I couldn't come to the club room while handling some complicated matters."
"……What?"
I doubted my ears. What did she just say?
"My mom's the presiding judge of the criminal division at the Seoul High Court. She got promoted last year. She mainly handles appeals for drug cases and organized crime."
Everything she said so casually was shocking.
A presiding judge at the Seoul High Court was a high-ranking position even in legal circles.
"My brother's a new prosecutor at the Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors' Office. He's twenty-seven this year, same age as you, sunbae-nim."
Becoming a prosecutor at twenty-seven was an incredibly young case.
Since he was from the last generation to take the bar exam, he passed the judicial exam without going to law school, meaning he passed that difficult exam at twenty-two or twenty-three.
He graduated from the training institute as second in his class and had been commissioned for two years now.
They say he's being watched as a young ace in the prosecution these days.
Same age as me, but a prosecutor.
I was a third-year student after retaking the exam three times, yet at the same age he was already working as a prosecutor in society?
Suddenly my own life felt pathetic.
"You already know about my dad, right? He's a lieutenant in the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's Special Sexual Violence Investigation Unit."
I knew. I'd heard about him when she first blackmailed me.
194 cm tall, 121 kg. A burly build, a daughter-obsessed father who would stop at nothing for his daughter's sake.
"……What is your family? A legal dynasty?"
"You could say that. My parents wanted me to become a lawyer, so I was originally planning to go to law school, but I'm thinking of graduating from the business department first. My dream is to be a businesswoman, after all."
Eunbi smiled brightly.
A judge mother, a detective father, a prosecutor brother. The legal trinity was all gathered in one family.
If I messed with this family, I'd be completely buried legally.
A chill ran down my spine anew.
To think the woman blackmailing me had this kind of family background.
"So when I gave my brother a little hint, the investigation started right away. Since the evidence photos were solid, the warrant was issued quickly."
Just then, a knock sounded.
Knock knock knock.
The door opened, and Na Eunyoung entered with a bright expression.
Her atmosphere was completely different from the last time I'd seen her.
Her shoulders were straight, and her eyes sparkled with vitality.
"Hello~ Counselor-nim!"
She spoke clearly and confidently without stuttering like before. Her voice was much louder, and confidence radiated from her.
It was hard to believe this was the same person who had clutched a paper cup with both hands and spoken in a trembling voice just a week ago.
"Hello, Eunyoung-ssi~"
Eunbi, still sitting beside me, greeted her warmly. She remained perched on half my chair with her arm around my shoulder.
Now that someone else was here, I wished she'd bring over another chair and sit separately, but Eunyoung didn't seem to mind at all.
Instead, she smiled as she looked at the two of us.
"Thank you so much!"
Eunyoung said, clasping her hands together.
"I don't know exactly what happened, but my problem was resolved perfectly! The head nurse and my preceptor were suddenly taken away by the prosecutors. The atmosphere on the ward has completely changed."
Eunyoung continued excitedly.
"Actually, I kind of figured out that you counselors did something at the hospital back then, but I'll pretend I don't know anything!"
She grinned and winked.
"Anyway, thank you so much. I thought you were just ordinary counselors, but if counseling doesn't work, you solve things directly!"
No, we're just university students, not counselors.
"Actually, I was only looking at the trees, not the forest……. When the counselor cross-dressed and entered the women's changing room, I was just going to report it to the police, you know?"
Eunyoung laughed awkwardly.
"It was all for the greater good of the forest…… I can't believe I doubted professional counselors like that……"
Huh? I went in with the perverted, sleazy intention of just stealing women's clothes, though?
There was no greater purpose or anything. Finding the drugs was pure coincidence, you know?
But I couldn't say that out loud.
Since the misunderstanding was heading in a good direction, there was no need to correct it.
"Thank you so much, really."
Eunyoung pulled something out of her bag. It was neatly folded white fabric and sky-blue clothing items.
"I don't have money, so I can't give you anything else……. Please take these clothes and the nurse uniform I lent you last time, along with some casual clothes. You don't have to return them. This is another one of my nurse uniforms, so I'll just give them all to you! You seemed to like them."
"No, no."
I firmly refused.
"I don't like them at all. I really don't need them, so please take them back. Please."
"Wow, that's great for you, sunbae-nim!"
Eunbi clapped her hands and chimed in.
"She's willingly giving you clothes because she knows you like wearing sexy outfits and cross-dressing for cosplay, sunbae-nim!"
"No, I'm a guy! I don't need these women's clothes!"
I raised my voice, but the two women didn't listen to me.
Was my voice too quiet? It wasn't. They definitely heard it, so why were they ignoring me?
"We're glad things worked out for you too, Eunyoung-ssi."
Eunbi said with a bright smile.
"Yes. Now I'm not scared at all to go to the ward. Maybe because of the recent hospital atmosphere, or maybe she was always like that…… The new head nurse is really gentle, and my preceptor changed to a kind person too."
"That's a relief~"
While the two women chatted amicably, I sat between them unable to say a word.
The nurse uniform and casual clothes Eunyoung brought sat conspicuously on my lap.
……So in the end, these women's clothes and the nurse uniform in my closet were becoming mine.
I really didn't need them, though……
"I heard this from the hospital staff too, but the head nurse and preceptor who were taken away were actually considered really nice throughout the entire hospital before."
Eunyoung tilted her head and said.
"But I wonder why they suddenly became such devils after coming to Seohan University Hospital……. Maybe embezzling such a huge amount turned their hearts demonic too……?"
Probably not.
I hesitated whether to voice the hypothesis that had just occurred to me, then decided to speak.
It wasn't something I needed to hide, and if I was wrong, so be it.
"Um…… You know the bullying you went through, Eunyoung-ssi."
I opened my previously closed mouth.
