Chapter Title: KA Entertainment
-----------------------------------------------------------------
KA Entertainment.
Baekun Nation's premier entertainment company, renowned enough in the industry to compete for the top spot.
Even KA Entertainment, however, lacked one thing.
Men.
This was true for all entertainment agencies.
Worldwide, the total number of male influencers, celebrities, and broadcasters combined didn't even reach three hundred.
Just having a man registered elevated an agency's status immensely.
No matter how famous KA Entertainment was—not just in Baekun Nation but across the world—it couldn't even compete for the global top spot because of this.
'So I was trying to recruit him... as a trainee?'
Chae Mei realized just how absurd her actions had been moments ago.
A trainee for a Male Lord?
Even debuting him as a singer right away and gathering only the best composers to craft songs for him wouldn't be enough.
"S-Sorry..."
Chae Mei tried to apologize immediately for her blunder.
Scouting a man for debut wasn't illegal in the entertainment industry.
But if the man felt uncomfortable, it became illegal.
It wouldn't warrant IMPU enforcers swooping in, but it would trigger intense tax audits and legal judgment.
So she had to apologize.
She had to...
The problem was Chae Mei's position.
She had fallen flat on her butt, looking up at Geum Taeyang with her head tilted back.
His cold gaze, illuminated between the two ceiling bulbs, sent chills down her spine.
Kyung kyung...!!
Chae Mei's womb began to quiver.
What was this chilling thrill of being looked down upon by a man?
"Ah... Aah..."
Chae Mei had even forgotten how to speak.
The moment she realized it wasn't Geum Mari but Geum Taeyang... her mind went blank as a white sheet.
In that instant, the capable president leading KA Entertainment vanished.
All that remained was a single female awaiting Geum Taeyang's mercy.
"President. Are you okay?"
"Fuck me, please..."
"Pardon?"
"N-No!?"
Perhaps because of that.
When Geum Taeyang approached to help the fallen Chae Mei to her feet.
She uttered words she absolutely shouldn't have.
Sexual harassment toward men...!!
Recent mental fortitude training for men allowed some cursing, but an overt "fuck me" was grounds for arrest.
Yet the IMPU enforcers hidden in the shadows remained still.
-Geum Taeyang is different from other men. Regarding sexual harassment or sex-related crimes, observe silently until he requests assistance.
It was the Ten Thousand Year Elders' command.
'Unnecessary worry.'
Even without the order, the enforcers wouldn't have intervened.
Geum Taeyang himself tossed around near-sexual-harassment-level words freely, after all.
"I-I'm s-sorry! Geum Taeyang! I'm truly sorry for presumptuously offering to make you a trainee all this time! And those words just now weren't my true feelings!!"
Regaining her senses, Chae Mei dropped to her knees and bowed her head deeply in apology.
Tremble tremble...
It was clearly an apologetic posture.
Yet why did it feel so arousing?
She felt instant respect for the great figure who devised this basic apology stance toward Male Lords, blending submission and shame so perfectly.
The ultimate Dogeza pose!!
Even as she apologized, Chae Mei felt that base desire stirring.
"...Get up."
Sensing it, Geum Taeyang helped Chae Mei to her feet.
He wanted to step on those wide, childbearing hips of hers.
"I-Is that man...?"
"Geum Mari was a guy?"
"F-Fuck..."
"I... sexually harassed him so bad. Am I getting arrested?"
Too many eyes were watching.
Even as Geum Mari, he had been a hugely popular part-timer among gym members.
They had been watching intently even before Chae Mei approached.
Then came the reveal: not Geum Mari, but Geum Taeyang—complete with ID only men could possess.
All the females in the gym focused their gazes on him. It was inevitable.
Those gazes weren't unpleasant... but they were burdensome enough.
He couldn't satisfy every woman, after all.
Of course, he'd strive to please as many as possible, but not these gym members.
Except Chae Mei.
Because of those stares, Geum Taeyang lifted Chae Mei up.
"What if I'm bad at singing and dancing? Could I still become a trainee?"
"Yes! Yes! We'll debut you right away, no trainee phase. With you, Geum Taeyang, we could aim for number one, surpassing other Male Lords!!"
She had only zoned out briefly.
Chae Mei was an exceptional entertainment president. She snapped out of Geum Taeyang's seductive voice and dove straight into sales mode.
Kyung kyung...♡
Not entirely out of it, though.
Her womb was still quivering.
"Really? Then I'll contact you later."
"Y-Yes... Yes! Th-Thank you. We won't disappoint you if you visit. Truly, thank you!!"
Hearing Geum Taeyang, Chae Mei bowed repeatedly in gratitude.
"Enough. Time for your workout, President."
"Workout... workout...♡ Yes. I must. Intensely."
Chae Mei began fiddling with the equipment for her workout.
Her eyes always on Geum Taeyang, of course.
"Geum Mari... no, Geum Taeyang! This is me. If it's okay, how about a cozy cup of tea together...?"
"I'm working, sorry."
"Th-Then."
"Sorry, but customers are waiting behind you."
As Chae Mei departed, countless members who realized Geum Taeyang was a man approached.
They approached exuding pheromones to show off their appeal.
But to Geum Taeyang, who had inhaled pheromones from top-tier females like Park Hana, Aeri, Kim Gyul, Aka, and Darae—it was futile.
Their pitiful courtship sparked no reaction.
"Um... Dragon's Tear, please!!"
"Ten million won."
"Here. I-I bought something expensive... Could we chat a bit?"
A faint smile.
Geum Taeyang finally gave a subtle smile to their words.
A customer who bought a ten-million-won item in one go.
Service industry workers had a duty to be courteous.
"Wh-Why are you working here?"
"Need money."
"I-I'm rich!! I'll give you money!!"
Geum Taeyang frowned.
Money was great, but he had no intention of living off women's money like other men in this world.
What difference was there from a pig raised at home?
A real man earned his own money to support his family!!
"Sorry, but I want to live off money I earn with my own sweat."
"G-Gasp..."
Thud.
The woman collapsed, heart so touched by his admirable words.
A body sculpted by the gods, a heavenly voice, and such righteous character.
This was an angel descended to the mortal world.
Bad for her heart.
"Next customer."
"I-I'll take Dragon Scale!!"
"Twenty million won."
"A-Are you close with the owner here somehow!!"
"She's my girlfriend."
"Gasp... G-Girlfriend?!"
Thud.
Another woman collapsed.
Having a goalkeeper didn't mean no goals could be scored.
Men having multiple wives was natural.
The collapse stemmed from pure envy.
Envy that such a perfect man was dating the woman who made him work.
It felt like the world rejected her.
"Next customer."
Thus, women buying exorbitantly expensive elixirs—beyond their realm to consume or digest—just to talk to Geum Taeyang collapsed repeatedly.
Then came a woman's alluring voice.
"Taeyang. I washed up in the bathroom...♡"
As if their ultimate enemy had appeared.
The queue at the counter glared at her with murderous eyes.
Darae, the gym's owner and the villainous woman employing a man as part-time help, had arrived.
Rooooar...
Fierce killing intent converged on one target.
Undeterred, Darae strode confidently toward Geum Taeyang.
As if the other women's malice meant nothing.
"Geum Taeyang! Why date a woman like her?! I-I could let you live without ever smelling the bad breath of filthy women like these!!"
Geum Taeyang blatantly pulled Darae close by the waist and slapped her ass.
Smack-!
"Ha-eung...♡"
"Like I said earlier. Because I want to. It's quitting time now... so I'm off."
Geum Taeyang handed the counter to the dazed night-shift part-timer and left the gym with Darae.
The women's gazes chased Geum Taeyang's retreating back.
And envied the red handprint branded like a mark on Darae's short dolphin pants.
