Lee Eunbi
"Wow......" Eunbi let out an exclamation as she entered the newly built board game cafe.
It was quite different from the usual places we went to.
There were an overwhelming number of board games, the interior was pretty, and there were so many people that you could tell it was enjoying its grand opening hype. Eunbi couldn't stop herself from admiring it all.
Since the whole place was divided into private rooms, even though the space itself was large, it felt like there were very few seats.
Seeing all the shoes piled up in front of the curtained rooms, I felt a pang of disappointment, thinking there really might not be any seats left.
"You're in luck, a seat just opened up! Could you wait just a moment? I'll clean it up quickly."
Fortunately, a spot had just become vacant.
As the people who had been playing happily inside started to file out, the employee greeted us with a smile and quickly cleaned the room they had vacated.
"How long should we book it for?"
It was a prepayment system, so we needed to decide how many hours to play, but that was a really hard decision to make.
It's human nature to want to keep playing if it's fun, and to stop if it isn't.
Well, if it wasn't fun, we could just leave.
A few thousand won wasn't going to hurt me, so I generously paid for three hours.
"Also, just so you know, our store requires one drink per person, so you'll need to order beverages as well."
As if he was new to this job, the employee, with an apologetic expression, guided us to order drinks right after the payment was done.
Normally, that was something he should have mentioned before the payment.
Even though it wouldn't have been strange for someone else to fly into a rage and demand a refund, I just smiled and ordered a drink each.
With all the payments done, we climbed up a small ladder to the second floor and entered a narrow room.
"It feels kind of novel."
Feeling the novelty of the space—barely one pyeong, maybe less than two at most, with a ceiling so low you couldn't stand up straight—Eunbi was busy looking all around her.
"What do you want to play first?"
I asked while looking up the games available here on the tablet, and Eunbi fell into deep thought.
She'd played almost all of them before, so nothing really caught her interest.
Still, our ordered drinks would be ready soon, so we'd have to go out to get them anyway. Since we were going out, we might as well bring a game back with us.
Thinking it would be best to decide right then, I searched through the games diligently.
Soon, I found a game I wanted to try.
Just at that moment, the signal came that our drinks were ready.
"I'll go get them."
I left her behind and went out alone.
"Thank you."
I found the game first, then came back with the drinks.
Since I couldn't climb the ladder without using both arms, I pulled back the curtain, pushed the drinks and the game inside first, and then climbed in myself.
"This second floor is a pain."
On the first floor, you just had to take off your shoes, but on the second floor, you had to climb a ladder, which was quite inconvenient.
"Still, it's kind of cozy and nice, isn't it?"
"You've got a point there."
It wasn't like we needed to stand up, so the low ceiling wasn't a problem for playing games.
And because it was small, it felt cozy.
Whether they planned it that way or not, even the interior design felt cozy, which was really nice.
Hmm... the more I looked, the better it seemed. I started to think maybe I should start a business like this too.
"Sluurp... mm."
Eunbi took a sip of her drink through the straw and opened the board game box I had brought.
"It's so clean!"
As expected of a newly opened board game cafe, the board game was very clean.
It would eventually get dirty from people using it, but that wasn't our concern.
If they didn't maintain it well, we just wouldn't come back.
Anyway, we started the game right away.
"Argh... why is it like this.....!"
The game was Carcassonne.
Eunbi's face turned red with frustration as she kept drawing tiles that weren't what she wanted.
"Too bad."
On the other hand, the tiles I was drawing weren't bad.
This game did have an element of luck to it, but skill played a much larger role, so it could simply be said that Eunbi wasn't very good at it.
"Th-this is mine...! It's my castle!"
Like a beginner, Eunbi was focused on building the highest-scoring castle, and she didn't look too happy about my sudden encroachment on it.
"Whoa. This is really cozy in here. Living in a nice place all by yourself, huh."
I said teasingly as I placed my piece inside her castle.
"Eeek.....!"
Pushing aside her rising frustration, she drew a tile.
"From the start... I'm just taking it slow from the start.....!"
Watching her struggle so hard to win was so cute that I almost let out a laugh without meaning to.
But if I laughed here, she might think I was mocking her, so I barely held it in.
"Hmm... I'll put my meeple here and here."
".....!"
When I made a blatantly stupid move, Eunbi's eyes went wide.
She had no way of knowing I was going easy on her, so she thought I had just made a dumb decision and tried to fix her expression, but it was too late.
I had already seen it all.
Anyway, Eunbi continued playing the game diligently.
Honestly, even though she was my opponent, she was so bad at the game that I really wanted to give her advice.
Well, she was just bad at Carcassonne; she might be good at other things, but for now, she was so bad it was almost boring.
I was just enjoying watching her cute reactions.
"Hehe...! I won!"
The game ended with Eunbi's victory.
"Whoa... too bad."
"Hehe!"
A bright smile bloomed across her face.
She had been so focused on the game that she hadn't taken a single sip of her drink since it was brought over, and she finally brought it to her lips.
My drink was only a third left, but hers was still almost full.
I figured I should go get another drink and some snacks later when Eunbi finished hers.
"Let's play one more round!"
The process hadn't been very smooth, but now that she had won, she looked happier than when we had started.
"Sure."
I played this round thinking maybe I should win, but I still held back a little.
"Ugh...! Th-this isn't right.....!"
I tried to go easy, but the tide had turned too heavily in my favor.
Groaning, she tried to find a way out, but there was none to be had, and she fell into despair.
I had intended to win this time, but seeing her like that completely erased my desire to do so.
"Ah....!"
I had been playing well until just before, so wouldn't she think it was strange that I was suddenly making stupid moves?
Instead of questioning it, she saw it as her chance and immediately seized the victory.
"Hmph!"
She had been concentrating so hard that she was sweating, and she puffed out her chest with pride.
The smile curling at the corners of her mouth and the confident look on her face felt like a reward for throwing the game on purpose.
"Huh. Jihoon, you're so bad at this game! You were doing fine, but then you kept making weird moves!"
"Ah... yeah, I guess I do that. Just can't seem to fix it. Oh well."
"Hehehe!"
Eunbi laughed happily, got up, and sat down next to me.
As soon as she sat down, her eyes went wide as if she had just remembered something, and then she nodded gently with a look of determination.
And then.
"Sh-should... I, your noona, teach you?"
She said that out of nowhere and stroked my thigh.
".....?"
I had no idea why she was suddenly acting like this.
Well, I knew there were couples who did things in places like this, but the problem was that the sound would be completely exposed, and the curtain couldn't fully block the view.
Besides, I wasn't really in the mood to do it here.
I thought if we were going to do it, we should play a bit more and then get a motel room, but Eunbi suddenly went into overdrive.
"Yeah... teach me."
I nodded as if I was bewitched.
"So, this game is......"
A slow explanation of the game followed.
She talked about which parts were important to focus on, and where I had made the most mistakes, but then she suddenly stopped.
The reason, of course, was that the hand stroking my thigh had moved to my crotch.
Gulp.
Swallowing dryly, Eunbi stared blankly at my bulging crotch.
"Eunbi?"
"A-ah...! Wh-where was I?"
So cute.
She was so cute and lovely that I wanted to bite her.
Also, the fact that she was trying to act in a way she'd never done before and that didn't really suit her was driving me absolutely crazy.
Chaeyeon must have said something to her as a joke.
Things like, "Jihoon likes women who seduce him like this," or "He really likes being teased by his noona." It was obvious that Chaeyeon's words were behind Eunbi's actions.
Honestly, it wasn't bad, but I was already doing that kind of roleplay with Heera noona and Yeona noona so much that I was getting sick of it.
What was good about Eunbi was her own unique reactions, and the same went for Nayeong, Chaeyeon, Mijin, and the others. I liked their different charms and reactions.
So it wasn't like I had a particular fetish or anything.
Still, sometimes this kind of thing wasn't bad either.
"Umm... so anyway."
Eunbi continued her explanation.
But then, seeing that my reaction wasn't very enthusiastic, her face turned bright red.
She probably felt embarrassed, thinking that she was the only one filled with all sorts of dirty thoughts while I wasn't thinking anything of the sort, and that she was getting way ahead of herself.
But she had already started. As if she couldn't give up now, she began to act more boldly.
"It's a bit... hot in here... isn't it?"
She was so embarrassed. So mortified she could die, but her hands were already unbuttoning her top.
Then, her collarbone was revealed beneath her pure white neck.
She didn't stop there. The glimpse of her bra and the cute swell of her breasts inside that bra captured my gaze entirely.
"Should we... continue then?"
Finally, Eunbi began to seduce me with her body.
