The call came from the Agency Director. He’d detained the manager, who kept spouting nonsense, so he’d tried to seize the phone despite the legal risks… only for the bastard to smash it himself. The screen was destroyed, and it would take time to repair. The Director suspected the manager had plenty of incriminating photos and didn’t want the evidence to pile up more charges against him.
Even after hearing that, I couldn’t feel the slightest relief. It would’ve been better if everything on that phone had been completely destroyed. No—maybe not. Even if the device itself was ruined, the man’s account would still exist.
“…Hah.”
Of course, the bomb inside Pandora’s box wouldn’t come flying out now. According to the Director, the manager hadn’t even hidden any real weapons—he was just a shady creep, not a bold one. A man who cowered even in front of Kang Juhyuk wouldn’t do anything crazy in front of the police. Whatever he tried, it would probably just be more pathetic tweets trying to tear me down. The fallout if this incident leaked would be troublesome, but even if Juhyuk’s video of the manager got out, my face wasn’t in it. My hair and body might raise suspicions, but my voice had been hoarse from crying, and most importantly, the mole on my thigh had been covered. There was no way to definitively prove the woman in the video was me. I’d already been attacked with every conspiracy theory imaginable. Suspicion alone, I could endure.
…Suspicion alone.
But the video still on Juhyuk’s phone was different. My face, my voice, those vulgar moans. The thick, hard sensation still lingering inside me. That overwhelming, terrifying fear I’d felt. A video that captured everything without hiding a single detail—if that leaked, my life as an idol would be over. It wouldn’t matter that I’d done nothing wrong. It was unfair and cruel, but that was reality. Even knowing that, I no longer had the courage to carve away at myself just to bring Juhyuk down.
Hinami. Unnie. …And above all, myself. I had no confidence left that I could fight him for my own sake.
“…”
…There was almost no one left I could trust. Unnie treated me like a thieving cat, Hinami treated me like an idiot, and the other members had never liked me to begin with. At best, maybe Sua-unnie, whom I’d only recently gotten close to. But we weren’t close enough to call trustworthy, and she wasn’t someone who could solve this kind of problem. Besides, the way she posted borderline photos on Twitter meant she was probably the same type as Hinami anyway.
So the only one left… ironically, was Kang Juhyuk himself.
Of course I could trust Dad or the Director, but I didn’t want to drag uninvolved people into this. …Besides, even if they found out, there was nothing they could do, and the more people who knew, the more anxious I felt. How would I even explain it? Tell Dad that I was so scared of the stalker that I almost got raped by Unnie’s boyfriend? Tell the Director that I was so scared of the manager that I almost offered my body to the guy downstairs? …All I could do was hope he’d lose interest in me. Hope this whole thing would be buried by time. The only other option I had was… mutual destruction with him. But if I tried that, I’d be the only one who died anyway.

“Aah, my back is killing me, seriously…”
“You reap what you sow.”
The three of us sat huddled together in the filled bathtub, warming our bodies. With my left hand I cleaned inside Hinami’s pussy, still messy from earlier. With my right I soothed Haeun’s breasts, which were still sulking. I kept pouring water over their bodies as they each straddled one of my legs.
“Why are you so mad again?”
“…I don’t want to hear that from a guy who suddenly ran off in the middle of things to play with another woman.”
“I didn’t play around.”
“Lie and I’ll rip your dick off.”
She grabbed my cock hard enough to hurt, not bothering to hide her anger. It was cute, but honestly a little scary, so I did my best to caress Haeun’s breasts while pressing my lips to her ear.
“…It’s not a lie. I didn’t play around.”
“Then why were you two soaking wet when you came back?”
“There was a reason.”
“…You mean you came, you pervert.”
She seemed to soften a little from the light touch, so I gently pinched her nipples while she started grumbling. I took a deep breath, lowered my voice so only she could hear, and whispered the promise I’d made the day she submitted to me.
“I told you last time… I’d let you play with girls who are doing better than you.”
“…”
“What are you two whispering about, Oppa?”
“About you.”
“Eek, you’re badmouthing me right in front of someone as cute, well-behaved, and smart as me?”
“Not really. …Just saying you’re popular.”
“Eh, all of a sudden?”
“Haeun likes complimenting you too.”
“That’s not her liking the compliment, that’s something else, isn’t it?”
“You can ask her yourself later.”
“Hmm…”
Watching us whisper, Hinami started splashing water at me in a sulky way. The warm water flew up and hit my cheek, then cooled as it ran down my skin. Before the water in the tub could get cold, I took advantage of Hinami calming down and slipped my tongue into her ear, whispering even softer.
“If you tell me not to, I won’t touch your little sister anymore. Though it would be a waste for your precious little sister to get ruined by trash like me.”
“…I don’t cherish her.”
“Anyway, she’s a little sister who’s doing well. Don’t you think it’d be a shame for her to play around with someone like me?”
“…I don’t know.”
“Haeun-ah.”
“What.”
I gently scratched at the inferiority complex she’d momentarily forgotten.
“Your little sister said it herself… that she’s less lewd than you.”
“…Liar.”
Until her sulking body gradually loosened.
“Wouldn’t it be fun if she fell for me? Watching that girl who always made that disgusted face whenever she saw us together start looking jealous instead. Wouldn’t that be hilarious?”
“Kang Juhyuk, you really…”
“What.”
“…You’re good at acting like you can seduce anyone. Why would she fall for you?”
“You can tell just by looking at Hinami, can’t you? …Still don’t believe me?”
“…Hmph.”
To plant trust in the girl who didn’t believe me, I firmly squeezed Hinami’s breasts as she dozed off leaning against me.
“Aah, what are you doing, Oppa. I was just about to fall asleep…”
“Don’t fall asleep in the tub, dummy.”
“Hehe… Ah, heh… mmph…”
I made her close her sleepy eyes and shared a vulgar kiss with her right in front of Haeun.
“Puh… Ah. Don’t get mad, okay? Unnie also did a lot when I wasn’t around…”
“I’m not mad. Not over something like this.”
Staring at Hinami’s face as she melted stickily, drooling with a dazed expression, I squeezed her heart, which was starting to be stained by the same murky emotions.
“…But I am going to get mad at you, you playboy bastard.”
“Why. If you were a guy, you wouldn’t have been able to resist either if she came at you like that.”
“You’re good at making excuses, seriously… Hey, wait, mmph……”
Even while sulking, she didn’t pull away, just grumbled as I forced my saliva into her lips.
“…”
While Hinami watched with envious eyes after we’d just finished, I savored her completely unguarded tongue and lips.
“Heup… mmph… phah. …Hah, seriously.”
“…Isn’t it fun? Watching someone like Hinami get jealous of you.”
I whispered into her ear again while pouring warm water over her slightly cooled shoulders.
“I don’t know. …Do whatever you want.”
“Got it.”
She was still being prickly, but I hugged her as she crawled into my arms.
“You two look so close, it’s making me jealous.”
“Why. Are you sulking this time?”
“No? I really meant it… …It’s more fun to steal something when they’re like that, right?”
“Hey.”
“Hehe…”
She pretended to sulk, then ruined Haeun’s mood with a single joke, and I hugged her too as she laughed playfully with sparkling eyes.
“Juhyuk-ah.”
“Yeah.”
“You might not know, but I don’t really like Yeeun either.”
“I know.”
“That’s not what I mean… I’m saying there’s a lot built up.”
“Like what.”
She spoke in a voice even smaller than my earlier whisper, so thin it tickled my ear.
“I never planned on doing anything shady to you… but she went and told Dad to sell you out on her own.”
“…”
“This isn’t something I’m saying now because of that. …Really. After you left, I had such a hard time with the other players. Being misunderstood as someone who abuses their power, everyone keeping their distance… do you know what that feels like?”
“…Roughly.”
…Whether it was sincere or whether I’d come to believe it was sincere, it was a story I no longer needed to distinguish as she poured it out to me.
“Ah, and there was the thing about not being able to pay off the debt. She kept barging in saying I was putting clothes in. And aside from all that, just basic manners…”
“Alright. …You say that, but I know you took care of her when she was sick.”
“…Even so, I can’t exactly say anything when she’s hurting.”
Whoever’s fault it was, I’d already collected more than enough debt from her. …As for that bitch, I still hadn’t collected a single thing.
