Lea's Male Friend?!
I'd figured I'd give Lea a massage or something, so I headed to her room, but she was getting ready to go out.
"...Where you headed?"
"Yeah. Meeting a friend."
Suddenly... a friend? Oh, right. In this house, the only total loser without friends was me. I felt inexplicably down and muttered, "Have fun," before leaving her room.
Yebin was still at the company, and Haena unnie seemed busy lately prepping for her business launch. Guess I'd have to drink again? But it hadn't been that long since I'd passed out from booze last time, so I wasn't really in the mood.
I shuffled into the living room and flopped onto the sofa, pulling up the Shop window. A few new skills had popped in. One in particular caught my eye.
Pleasure Sharing
Share the pleasure you feel with any heroine you're in contact with.
Price: 10,000 Gold
Looked pretty damn good. For stuff like 69 or mutual masturbation while facing each other, this could create synergy and drop enhanced coins. Plus, it'd help balance things out during one-sided oral where I hog all the pleasure, or fingering where she's the only one feeling it.
10,000 gold was a steep price, but I'd been racking up valuable coins from all the new experiments lately. A little stretching, and I could swing it. My mid-check ranking was solid anyway, so I had some wiggle room. I hit purchase.
Pleasure Sharing applied!

"Ah... h-hello."
I'd gone to the entryway after hearing Lea chatting with someone, and in walks some guy with her. What the fuck?
"Ah... who's this?"
I glanced at Lea, who answered casually. "A friend I met gaming! We're gonna play in my room!"
"Hello... I'm Daeyoung Kim. I met Lea playing Hero Fight."
The guy introducing himself bowed politely. Seemed like the online buddy from that fighting game we'd played before. Isekai-native looks on him were pretty handsome, and he was even polite. Still, no invading my Harem Kingdom.
"Ah, come on in. You must be pretty good at games, huh?"
"Yeah. Way better than oppa, hehe."
Im Lea... just you wait.
"Ah, no, just a hobby. Haha."
If he'd been a cocky asshole like Geum Taeyang, I could've pummeled him with my pumped-up stamina stats and kicked him out. But no, he had to be humbly infuriating. Honestly, if it weren't for my harem life, I'd want him as a little bro. "You seem pretty skilled. Mind if I watch you two play? I'm still learning. That cool with you, Lea? Daeyoung Kim?"
Handsome, good at games, nice personality? Too fucking risky. Needed an excuse to monitor them. This was big-bro duty, harem or not.
"Yeah, sure, watch and learn, hehe."
"Ah, sure! You're like a hyung, so speak casually!"
......
Lea and Daeyoung Kim headed to her room. They grabbed controllers, and I perched on the bed behind Lea to spectate. He said they were the same age, and up close, it showed. I'd been treating Lea like a kid because of her babyish vibe, but nah—she was twenty. Fresh out of teen years, but fully grown and knowing the score.
Soon, READY flashed on screen, and they dove into intense matches. Lea wasn't bullshitting—Daeyoung Kim traded wins evenly, back-and-forth until he clutched the final round for the overall W.
"Shit! So close. Just a bit more..."
"Haha, I was sweating too. Playing together leveled you up for sure. You weren't this good before—gonna catch me soon?"
"Hehe, right?"
Yeah, yeah, haha, as they burst into laughter. What was this normie talk? My introvert roots made their chatter grate. Normies better at games than me too? Pissing me off.
They kept playing. At first, they minded me—offering rounds, asking for play feedback, chatting. But I was in full loser mode, declining and lurking silently, so the vibe got weird. Like I'd crashed their date. They slipped into their own world. Partly my fault for sulking.
Should I take a "how to be normal" class?
"Hahaha, see? Combo like this."
"Whoa... Daeyoung Kim, you're insane! How?"
I could teach a masterclass on sex. 'Whoa! How's oppa's dick that huge?' Heh. Lea, this is the combo from cowgirl to reverse to missionary...
...Fuck, what am I doing? Total loser. Burning with envy, hating my pathetic thoughts, I wanted to turn invisible and wail.
Was I this much of a loser? Genetically? Crazy-leader Yebin Choi with her massive business, Haena Im skyrocketing followers from a few star posts and hanging with friends, Lea the shut-in gamer magically collecting buddies. And me, purebred otaku Im Kangmo. What combo is this?
World's unfair, sure, but context? Normie parents spawn normie eldest and youngest, middle kid's a total dork? Blame Yebin's body? Those I-cups exploding out, cinching in, exploding again at her ass? Fucking Yebin birthed a dud like me.
Right, I'm isekai-born. Yeah... but fuck that, still can't take this. Any "loser" trait to buy? Can't be the only loner here. I'll drag 'em all down—mudfish in clear water.
I needed an outlet for this rage. And boom, perfect excuse: Laughing it up, Daeyoung Kim pets Lea's head.
Of course. Not blond-dyed, but this fucker's a stealth Geum Taeyang. And Lea giggles like she loves it. You're dead later, Im Lea. Full Golden Finger and Pheromone Walker activation.
But later. For now... Loser mode off. Harem King mode ON!!!
"Tsk. Stop."
"...Huh?"
Stealth Taeyang Daeyoung Kim and Im Lea turn to me. Especially Daeyoung Kim—panic creeping in.
My stamina-boosted stats had me squatting 400+ on the big three. Ripped bod. I stripped off my baggy tracksuit top, flexing through my tank, glaring stone-faced. Fake Taeyang flinched.
"No touching in my house. Ever."
"Ah... s-sorry."
Fake Taeyang Daeyoung Kim yanked his hand off Lea's head and apologized quick. But Lea whined at me like I'd wronged her. "What's that mean? Oppa does it all the t—"
Yeah, hilarious from her view. I groped nonstop. But I'm Harem King, he's intruder. No means no.
"Im Lea. Shut it."
She was about to blab, so I cut her off.
"No way! We're just playing, why butt in—"
"Kangmo-ism Rule 2: When oppa speaks, listen quietly. When he says shut it, shut it."
Rule 1: Nothing between me and Lea gets spilled to outsiders, no matter what. It's embarrassing. Lea wasn't the blabber type, but after she snitched Haena unnie's bad luck last time, I drilled it in. Guess it hadn't stuck?
'Devotee' unique coin responds to this statement.
"Tch... fine."
Fake Taeyoung Daeyoung Kim looked shocked. Yeah, not normal sibling talk. He mumbled awkwardly, "G-game time..." and they resumed. But I'd nuked the vibe already—no more cozy laughs.
Soon they quit and turned to me. "Oppa, heading out with Daeyoung Kim."
"Why?"
"Ah, hyungnim... so happy to meet Lea, thought we'd grab dinner..."
I'd trashed the mood on purpose, and now dinner? "Yeah, promised dinner before meeting up."
Eyeing me warily post-incident, Daeyoung Kim flashed a restaurant pamphlet—reservation booked, swears no more touches.
Fine, I was being petty. Admitting it. Objectively, guy's decent. Preps a fancy course to meet Lea? Old-world me would've waved her off.
But... y'know? I just wanna throw a tantrum.
