Chapter Title: I Liked Her First (1)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Choi Siwoo and Gam Deok-bae were high school classmates sharing a two-room apartment right in front of the school.
It all started because Deok-bae was strapped for cash, and Siwoo needed a reliable buddy from back home. Things just clicked.
Normally, roommates end up fighting over the pettiest stuff,
but surprisingly, their personalities meshed well. They grew even closer, to the point where they could spill their deepest troubles to each other now.
"So, you're saying I have to steal that bestie's almost-girlfriend, huh."
I felt a twinge of guilt toward Siwoo.
But what could I do? I needed those points.
Biting back tears, I'd have to go through with the NTR...
"In return, I'll look out for you in the Royal Road Hero Tale, so don't hate me too much."
Pretending to wipe away tears that weren't there,
I hatched a plan to steal Siwoo's girl.
Choi Siwoo was the kind of guy who always had girls buzzing around him.
With his handsome looks and easygoing personality, it was no surprise he was popular.
But this idiot had no clue about his own appeal.
He'd whine that all those girls were "just friends" and that he wanted to try dating someone for real, like everyone else.
"That deceptive bastard..."
So he had a girl he was seeing? If the tip-off hadn't clued me in, I never would've guessed.
He'd go on and on about his "almost-girlfriend" or "girlfriend" whenever we drank, but it turned out it was all smoke and mirrors.
And he'd brought her back to our place—without me there, no less...
What a sleazy move. He even sent confirmation texts.
What was he planning to do with her once he got her here?
I had to give him quiet props for the uncharacteristic boldness.
Meanwhile, Gam Deok-bae in this "Heroine NTR" scenario was pretty popular himself.
How popular? Well...
[Lee Ye-eun: What's going on?? Did something bad happen? ㅠ_ㅠ...]
[Park Ha-yan: What... We were supposed to go together! Hiiing, fine, I won't go either.]
[Shin Ji-ah: Wanna grab a drink just us? Honestly, I didn't wanna go anyway.]
The second he said he couldn't make the MT, messages like these flooded in.
At this level, he could've ditched the NTR and just lived out his dream campus life. But those points... man, they were too tempting.
Scrolling through their profile pics, they all looked pretty cute, too...
"Haa..."
Still, no time to waste here. I decided to push forward.
I needed 50,000 points—no room for slacking.
-Beep beep beep beep! Riiing!
-Clunk
"Whoa, bringing her over at this hour? Bold move, dude."
It was 8 p.m. now. The sun had set, and night had fully taken over.
And he shows up with a girl? Siwoo's intentions were crystal clear.
"Hey, where've you been? Coming now...? Huh? Who's this?"
Playing dumb, I went out to greet them in just my underwear, then acted shocked when I saw the girl.
"Oh, hi! I'm Siwoo's friend, Na Heera... Kyaa!"
She greeted me nervously at first, then spotted my lack of pants and shrieked in embarrassment.
Hmm... Siwoo really scored here. This heroine was a catch.
Her soft brown hair fell to her shoulders, framing a fresh-faced innocence enhanced by light makeup.
It had that raw, budding charm only a newbie could pull off.
And her date outfit screamed "trying to tempt even the oblivious guy"—adorable, really.
Though she'd soon fall to NTR.
Only downside? Her chest was a bit lacking. Not flat, but after hanging with Hyun-ah lately, it felt modest by comparison.
No paizuri potential there...
One more reason to wrap this up quick and grab the points.
"Hey! Why are you home?"
"Why? It's my place."
"Just put some pants on first, hurry!"
As I eyed her up and down, sizing her up, Siwoo called me over and dragged me to my room.
Looked like he had something to say.
He was too flustered to get it out straight, just mumbling nonsense, so I cut in.
"Whatever, who's she? Your girlfriend?"
"...No, just a friend."
"Ah, not yet, huh?"
"Not ever, so pants on!"
"Why?"
"We've met now, gotta introduce you properly."
"Ah..."
Classic Siwoo. Such a stand-up guy.
In a spot like this, he doesn't kick me out—he thinks of introductions first.
The man's a legend for a reason.
"But weren't you headed to the MT? Why're you home?"
"Oh, that fell through. Sigh, the group bailed en masse outta nowhere. Total chaos, we fought over it."
"Gotcha..."
"Got pissed, so I figured we'd grab a drink. Got that vodka stashed for the MT—still good. Wanna join?"
"Sounds good, but I'm kinda in the middle of something..."
"Something? What? Related to the girl you brought?"
"Nah, not what you're thinking—don't get the wrong idea. We're just meeting up for that presentation next week."
"Cool. How about we all drink after?"
"...Huh?"
So that's how it went down. What a convenient excuse.
Siwoo checking if I'd be at the MT all morning,
or her showing up dressed like that under the guise of "group work"—
both had the same thing in mind, masking it with bullshit pretenses.
Now that I saw through it, I couldn't help but smirk.
This played right into my prepped plan.
"Lemme go ask her."
"Hey, hold up! Dude!"
Ignoring Siwoo's grab, I opened the door and approached her.
She looked tense, like it was her first time at a guy's place, glancing around.
"Hey. I'm Gam Deok-bae, Siwoo's high school buddy and roommate. Philosophy major, class of '21. Nice to meet you."
"Ah... Hi! I'm Na Heera, Siwoo's classmate in the same department. Nice to meet you."
"C'mon, drop the formalities—we're the same age. Freshman, right?"
"Uh... Yeah..."
Her vibe screamed caution toward me. Blame the underwear show earlier?
Perfect—that was intentional. Being wary meant she was paying attention to me.
Operation proceeding smoothly.
"Hey, so Siwoo and I were gonna grab a drink. Wanna join? Fate brought us together like this."
"Huh? Well..."
"He said it'd be cool if you did."
"Hey! I never said that! Heera, ignore his jokes."
Damn. Stay quiet, why don't you.
I was reeling her in, and here comes Siwoo interrupting from the room.
But that guy... talking big while subtly hoping I'd set the stage.
So obvious, almost made me laugh.
"Nah... I'm fine with it. It's Friday anyway... What about you, Siwoo?"
"Huh? If you're cool... yeah, sure."
See that? Playing both sides. Forgot I was here?
I said we should drink, and they're already turning it into a date.
Still, cleared the first hurdle—huge relief.
This was the toughest part; now it'd be smooth sailing.
"Sweet. I'll chill in my room then—lemme know when you're done."
Before kicking off this "Heroine NTR," I'd stocked my inventory with my everyday smartphone from reality, a green dagger from the Royal Road Hero Tale, and some sleeping pills rolling around the house corner.
Didn't know what NTR awaited, so I picked versatile stuff.
And now...
After drinks with Siwoo and his girl,
my inventory held just the smartphone and green dagger.
"Ah, what? Already passed out after a couple? Siwoo's tolerance sucks, as always."
"Siwoo can't hold his liquor, huh..."
"Hang on a sec? Lemme tuck him in."
"No... He's out, so I should head too. Was fun."
"Already? Don't you live alone?"
"Still, it's late..."
"One more round? Got something Siwoo-related to chat about."
"...Really?"
"Yeah. Just wait here."
Wondering about the sleeping pills?
Half went to Siwoo; the other half's for now.
Drugs are cheating, sure—pure seduction's the meta.
But I'd been cheating with Sexual Stimulation from the jump.
Besides, no guilt over this now.
It was all just "Heroine NTR" anyway.
I'd been raping since the Tutorial—what's new.
I tucked Siwoo into his room, grabbed water from the fridge,
shielded it from her view with my body, and slipped the pills into her cup.
"Have some ice water first. It's kinda important."
