Chapter Title: Holding Hands Through Dinner
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Hmm..."
Lee Hyunwoo stroked his chin with his finger as he gazed at Choi Soo-hyun.
Since he'd hopped into her broadcast just based on her face, her looks were predictably pretty.
A cute puppy-like face.
Fair skin.
Her figure was a bit lacking, but if you saw her as slender, it was more than passable.
Plus, she sang well.
And her personality had that airheaded charm that made her all the more appealing.
So why was a girl like this so nervous?
She insisted she wasn't, but the tension was plain as day.
"Are you uncomfortable eating with me?"
"No! Absolutely not."
"Then why? You barely touched your food earlier."
"..."
Choi Soo-hyun clamped her mouth shut, clearly at a loss for words.
Lee Hyunwoo patted her reassuringly.
"Speak freely. We're going to be seeing a lot of each other from now on, right? Or... am I the only one who thinks that? Are you planning to wrap this up after a few months?"
"No way! I want to keep getting to know you for a long time too, oppa!"
"Then what's up? Shy around new people?"
"Yes.... I am a little shy. But it's definitely not because you're a burden!"
Huh. On stream, she played up the aegyo and sang like a pro—he hadn't pegged her for the shy type.
Then again, broadcasts meant no face-to-face with viewers.
Made sense.
Since she was the shy one, Lee Hyunwoo figured he'd take the lead in closing the gap.
"Time heals shyness eventually, but it'd make eating awkward. I've got a fix for that. Wanna hear it?"
"A fix? What kind...?"
"Right-handed or left?"
"I use both. Been playing piano since I was little."
"Perfect. So you can eat with your left hand too, right?"
Lee Hyunwoo grabbed his chopsticks and slid over to her side.
"Eh? Ehhh?"
Choi Soo-hyun panicked at his sudden move.
What was he planning to do right here?
This was a restaurant, after all.
But against her worries, he only went for her hand.
"They say skinship's the best cure for shyness. Holding hands like this should make us close in no time. Plus, we're not facing each other, so it's easier on the eyes."
"Ah..."
Not quite what she'd braced for.
But this was awkward and embarrassing in its own right.
She'd never even held hands with an ex while eating.
And so began their bizarre one-handed meal, fingers intertwined.
"This was my idea, but... eating with one hand's kinda tough. You holding up okay, Soo-hyun? No trouble with your left?"
"Y-yes. I'm fine."
"Good. Man, this place's food is killer. No wonder they charge a premium."
"Y-yeah."
Their chat flowed with Lee Hyunwoo asking and Choi Soo-hyun answering.
Still, he was having a blast.
This was a different vibe from Yeoujjing or Darling.
Those two came on strong, so he'd had to keep his wits sharp to avoid getting swept up.
But talking with Choi Soo-hyun felt easygoing.
She was so deferential, he found himself gently steering the conversation.
"So, what's your daily routine like?"
With her tension easing, she even tossed in questions now and then.
Lee Hyunwoo answered offhand.
"Wake up, hit the gym, eat, watch streams."
"Whoa.... So you really are unemployed.... Ah, sorry!"
"Hey, I am. I laze around all day. Playing's my job. Hahaha."
"Then you just didn't wanna drop into my stream?"
Choi Soo-hyun asked with extreme caution.
But that dredged up an unpleasant memory for Lee Hyunwoo.
He flashed back to before heading out to meet her—with Lee Ye-rin.
The cleanup blowjob and sex had been great.
The issue came after.
Lee Ye-rin was lounging in his room like she planned to move in.
He'd tried sending her off, but she flat-out refused.
And if she was going, she demanded he come to her place too—pure clinginess.
It had taken serious effort to pry her loose, so his face naturally hardened.
"Sorry if that upset you! No bad intentions—just curious. You signed the cashback deal with me, but settlement's the day after tomorrow, and you haven't shown up much, so..."
Choi Soo-hyun glanced at his expression and rushed to add more.
She had been miffed that he'd hit Yeoujjing's stream first.
But she wasn't about to tank things with him over it.
"Nah, it's not you. Don't sweat it. I said I was busy today—that's what happened. Your stream? Just been swamped yesterday and today, that's all. And going forward, probably every two or three days, give or take."
"Ah, got it! Every two or three days—so two or three times a week?"
"Yep."
"Okay. I was stressing solo not knowing."
"Really? Sorry, didn't realize it'd bug you. Should've spelled it out sooner."
"No, no—my fault for not waiting patiently. But what had you so swamped? Something really bad?"
Choi Soo-hyun pressed gently.
Lee Hyunwoo hesitated.
Should he spill or not?
Better leave it.
No upside—just needless drama.
"Personal stuff. Anyway, we're done eating—coffee?"
"Ah, sure!"
They rose from the table.
Hands still linked.
Strolling hand-in-hand, it felt downright couple-like.
Come to think of it, first time walking the streets with a female cam broadcaster?
He always zipped around in luxury imports.
Gazes from all around prickled his skin.
Not on him, though.
On the strikingly beautiful Choi Soo-hyun.
Not her stream getup.
But dolled up on purpose, she looked like a celeb.
Those stares shifted to the guy holding her hand—Lee Hyunwoo.
Doubt laced every one.
Why's a stunner like her with him?
Back then, stares like that would've crushed him.
Not anymore.
Money's power was mighty.
And with infinite coins, Lee Hyunwoo strode tall amid the lot.
Over coffee, they warmed up more.
No tension left in Choi Soo-hyun.
Hand-holding chit-chat really worked wonders on her shyness.
When they finally left the cafe, Lee Hyunwoo gave a cool farewell.
"Catch you on stream tomorrow."
"Yeah. Tomorrow.... Wait, you're just heading out?"
Choi Soo-hyun blinked in shock as he waved goodbye.
Surely he'd suggest bedding down.
Just bounce clean like this?
Why?
The vibe hadn't soured.
Not lovers, but they'd hit solid friend territory.
So she'd figured the night ended at a motel or hotel.
"Huh? Wanna keep going?"
"N-no."
Her denial didn't match her face at all.
Something pinged his radar as he puzzled over it.
Three straight days of sex sharpening his read on women's moods and cravings?
He clocked her body language and hesitation instantly.
"Yeah, straight home feels off, huh? Wanna chill a bit longer?"
"....Yes..."
The words she'd craved finally out, she nodded without hesitation.
Somehow, it ended up looking like she was suggesting, him agreeing.
And to the hotel.
Lee Hyunwoo showered first.
Left alone on the bed, Choi Soo-hyun stewed over how to broach it.
If he'd propositioned, she could've laid out terms en route.
But flipped script—tough to spit out now.
Still gotta say it.
How, though?
While she mulled, Lee Hyunwoo emerged from the bathroom in a robe.
"Your turn to wash up?"
"Ah, yeah..."
Her fretting trailed her into the shower.
But by the time she slipped into bed, she still hadn't mustered the words.
Then his hand grazed her skin.
"Ah...!"
Tingling jolt.
Just a palm's touch—like static sparking.
Hallucination?
No.
Every brush of his fingers sent electric thrills bursting across her.
"Haang!"
She was insanely sensitive.
Lee Hyunwoo grinned, pleased at how she responded.
A girl like this fired up any guy in the thick of foreplay.
He dove in with gusto, hands and lips roaming, caressing and sucking her body.
Her pale, flawless skin was as soft and yielding as it looked.
Touch felt divine.
Smaller tits than Darling or Yeoujjing, but the sensitivity and silkiness outshone them.
"Huaaang, aaht!"
His fingers hit her pussy.
Already drenched and slick.
They slid right in smooth as silk.
"Aaht, oppa! Haeng, this feels weird! Hoot! So good. Feels so gooood! Aaang! Haat, ang! Hoo!"
Fingers roamed her depths wildly.
Target locked: her sweet spot.
The G-spot, where she'd melt most.
He probed, watching her face, body, moans.
Then nailed it dead-on.
"Hueeeee! Oppaaaa! Aaaah! Wh-what's this, feels soooo gooood! First time ever like thiiiis! Hauuung!"
Ten minutes flat.
That's all it took for her body to surrender to his hands.
G-spot found, he hammered it relentlessly with his middle finger.
The longer the assault, the wilder her tremors.
Her pussy clenched like it aimed to snap his fingers.
"Wh-what magic is this! Aaaht! Haven't even started yet! Aaaaah! Oppa, I-I'm cumming! Hwaaaang! Haaaaang!"
Choi Soo-hyun climaxed.
Her body quaked.
Ripples danced across her spread thighs, vibes humming in her lower belly—an eternally erotic sight.
"You're gushing."
"Hauu.... Y-yeah, I produce a lot.... But today's insane.... Been too long without, maybe.... Aa..."
"More's better. Here goes."
Lee Hyunwoo rolled a condom onto his cock.
Choi Soo-hyun gawked, mouth agape.
Huge.
Her exes weren't packing that.
Could it even fit...?
"Going in."
"Wa-wait, oppa. Deep breath firs—! Kyaaaaah! Aaaah!"
Doubts vanished fast.
Big as it was, her pussy took it without fuss.
Just that overwhelming fullness.
