Chapter 26
Yeah, I'm a pervert. I'd become the "Enjoyer" now. I decided not to sweat the details of which routines dropped which coins. I was convinced that if I just threw myself wholeheartedly into enjoying time with my family, I'd survive even in this cutthroat system competition. That mindset boosted my sexual satisfaction too. I ditched all those obligatory routines.
Ding! Sitting at my desk, I flicked the coin with my finger. Its core was pitch black, edged in pink light—this was the [Unique Coin: Lover] I'd earned by making a total fool of myself in front of Haena unnie.
Target: Exclusive to Haena Im
Activation Condition: ???
Activation Effect: ???
This coin cannot be used, destroyed, exchanged, or modified in any form until its activation condition is met and it is automatically applied.
At first, seeing the name Lover and the target Haena Im made my heart flutter. Haena unnie, my girlfriend? Just the thought sent my pulse racing, leaving me all giddy and dreamy. Her introducing me to her friends as her boyfriend, holding hands at an amusement park, snapping pics on a trip together... and then... m-marriage? Wait, but then at the wedding, would Mom have to walk down the aisle twice on her own? How many kids? Should we make a whole soccer team?...
But that fantasy faded quick. Reading the fine print, I realized this was peak bullshit from the coin system—unknown conditions and effects. Still, it was unique, something special and symbolic, so I didn't stash it in storage. I kept it in my wallet instead.
Though now I was paranoid about losing it... Maybe turn it into a necklace? I should ask.
…
Knock knock.
"Unnie."
I called softly, and Haena unnie replied right away.
"It's open, come in."
I entered her room with a vitamin drink. She was sprawled on the bed, typing away at her laptop.
"Unnie, drink this while you work."
I sat on the edge of the bed beside her and handed it over. "Thanks," she said, taking it with a smack on my cheek.
Not one to be outdone, I kissed her back—straight on the lips. Mmch. She puckered up to meet me halfway as my lips approached. Heh heh, this really felt like Haena unnie was my girlfriend. My heart was pounding.
Haena Im, you vixen. Setting the heart of manly Kangmo Im ablaze.
But what had her so glued to that laptop? Curiosity got me, so I asked casually.
"Whatcha doing?"
She looked at me and grinned. "Secret. Hehe. I'll show you when it's done. Oh, right—Kangmo, take some pics of me later."
"Pics? What kind?"
Photos... She borrowed Mom's camera the other day. Probably related.
"Just pics of me. Someone like me should photograph pretty well, right?"
Haena unnie gazed at me with those expectant eyes.
Of course, I had no intention of giving her the obvious yes.
"Nah. Not at all."
Not picking a fight—no, this was pure honesty. Sure, the photos would turn out gorgeous. But "photogenic"? Hell no.
Her smile vanished in a flash, brows furrowing. "Whatever. Get out."
Whoa, no need to flip like that. I rushed to explain.
"Hear me out. 'Photogenic' is for people who only look good in pics, right? Unnie, you're a goddess in real life. Can a stupid photo even capture all that beauty?"
She pondered my excuse(?), then nodded. "Hmmm... Okay. Pass."
Damn, I said what I always thought, but teasing her flipped the script—I was the one scrambling. How'd that happen? Sorry, but manly Kangmo Im, prime alpha male, bows to no one.
"Go borrow the camera from Mom first."
"Got it. Be right back, unnie."
Well, not right now...
…
Haena unnie's room. I was snapping away with the borrowed camera. She'd set up lights and props outta nowhere.
Click.
"Next pose."
Click.
"Next..."
Her demands were getting scary. She'd started natural, like a pro model—foot on chair, glancing sideways. But she ramped it up: puckering lips all cute, tousling her hair.
Click.
"Next pose..."
No, this was too much. What the hell, Haena Im?
"Hold up. What's this?"
She'd bitten the hem of her light green tee with her teeth, legs splayed wide on the chair. Short hotpants barely hid her crotch, flashing creamy thighs. And proving her [Exposure Mania] was nearing 3 stars, her hiked-up shirt revealed the underside of her bra, all sheer and slutty.
"Huh? What's wrong with it?"
Haena unnie looked genuinely puzzled, like there was zero issue.
Are you serious?
"Where you gonna use pics like this?"
"Posting 'em on Stargram."
"And then what?"
What the hell was Stargram even for? She was loaded already. Just live carefree like now.
"To get my name out there. Help when I start my fashion biz later."
Haena Im, acting like it was the most justified thing.
Isn't this just self-justification?
"Fashion biz? Why bother? We're already rich."
"You live life for money?"
Not for it, but we had plenty—why make life harder?
"Nah, but our family's all... well, Mom works, but me, you, Lea—we could just chill forever. Why grind on a business?"
"'Cause it's my dream. Money doesn't matter. I wanna launch a brand under my name and make it huge. That's my life goal."
'My dream' shut me up. I didn't wanna block anyone's dreams. I wanna cheer 'em on.
But how's that relevant here?
"Fine. Support the dream. But no need for slutty pics. You a perv or what?"
"Yeah. I'm a perv. Gotta pull aggro like this at first."
Holy shit. Knew she was pervy, but admitting it outright?
"Gotta aggro like this? Won't shoot if it's this way. Can't."
I stood firm, but it bounced right off.
"Fine. Don't. Gimme the camera."
"Why should I? No."
"Suit yourself. I'll go find some other guy with a camera. Gym dudes were staring last time—bet one's got one. 'Hey, I'm a perv, take my pic?' They'd line up."
Fuck. Fine, you win. Forgot—tsundere thawed a bit, but Ice Princess Haena Im strikes again. Couldn't crumble that easy, though. I pulled the achievement reward I'd saved: [Special Coin: Dominator of Women's Hearts] from storage.
"Okay, you win. I'll shoot whatever. But one condition... er, favor."
I grabbed her as she fake-turned to leave and activated the special coin. Dominance shot to 100, breaking 200.
Dominator of Women's Hearts
Dominance +100 → Breakthrough to 200!
"What?"
"I'll manage your Stargram. Edit your pics too. I'll help with the biz... something like that."
I stared hard, pouring my burning desire into my gaze.
"That? Sure."
Luckily, she accepted. Phew. Lost the battle but fought well, right? This time "lost but good fight." Next: "wet and fought great." Watch me, Haena Im.
I raised the camera again.
Click.
Post-deal, Haena unnie went wild like an unchained filly—lewd expressions galore. Biting her lower lip, licking her lips, eyes all wide and vacant. Fuck, that blank stare is hot. Poses got worse: legs spread, tits squeezed up; ass high in doggy, hotpants failing to cover; finally, unbuttoned hotpants, hand shoved inside, other hand sucking her extended index finger.
What the actual fuck.
Whatever—all edits, all cuts. Safe for Stargram~ Store the rest on my PC, delete nothing~
Dominance—"I'm important to Haena unnie"—saved me this time, but unsustainable. Gotta raise Submission too. Perversion was fun raising, but now it's a pain.
"Okay, that's the last pose."
After cat pose, we packed lights and props. Haena unnie sidled up, whispering.
"Kangmo Im... you got hard watching me?"
Her eyes locked on my bulging crotch.
