The Inevitable Trade
I had not spoken those words because I expected Choi In-sook to immediately turn to sex work. They were merely the bait to set up other activities. After delivering the hard part, I wanted to offer an easy little reward that would be easier to swallow.
“There’s also non-penetrative acts. Massage, hand jobs, and such—places that pay for those services.”
“Non-penetrative? Hand jobs? What exactly is that?”
A full-time housewife would naturally find the terms unfamiliar.
“It means helping a man reach climax with a woman’s hands and mouth without any insertion.”
“Oh, that kind.”
“Restaurants pay once a month, but the entertainment places can pay you right now—today, today.”
“Hah, but… even that. It would mean touching a stranger’s penis. I can’t do that.”
Choi In-sook shook her head again, unable to do even the hand-job service. She had never endured the hardships of such work yet, so her reaction was only natural. She had lived comfortably in my office without dodging yakuza threats and had never suffered real hunger, so of course this was her honest stance.
“Working at an entertainment place isn’t easy. But to be honest, no one in those places would even accept you, In-sook. There are plenty of young, pretty girls in their twenties, but you’re a forty-something auntie. It’s already an impossible condition for the industry.”
“R-really?”
I threw the brutal facts at her face, and her cheeks flushed crimson as she lowered her head even further. Her eye rims reddened and glistened with tears. It was probably self-loathing over her situation. To me, however, that sight strangely felt sexy.
*That tear-filled eye rims look so damn sexy.*
At that moment, I gave Choi In-sook a proposal that would be worth her consideration.
“Even if touching a stranger’s penis is impossible, touching someone you know would be even harder, wouldn’t it?”
“What do you mean?”
“For example, if I asked you to touch my penis, could you do it?”
“Huh? The Representative’s penis?”
Her expression showed clear shock.
“I’m still young and my libido is overflowing. But I have too much work, so I don’t have time to satisfy it. I don’t have a girlfriend right now either. Even if it’s not full sex, I can still ease my urges with non-penetrative acts. And in return, I’ll pay you for it. I can’t just give money for free, but the labor compensation I can provide.”
“Labor compensation?”
“In other countries they call it sex work. Hand jobs are real labor too. You have to use your body.”
“That’s true.”
“Let me be realistic. I don’t lend money just because I know someone, but I do pay for labor. If In-sook does hand jobs, I can pay the labor fee.”
“Hah, but it’s sexual labor.”
“The choice is yours, In-sook. I don’t care either way. I’m only suggesting it to give you a reason to take my money. Whether you do it or not is up to you. Whether you work at a restaurant, an entertainment place, or here in the office—it’s entirely your decision. Choose whatever you like.”
After I dropped the bait, Choi In-sook’s expression showed clear hesitation.
“If I do this, what would the labor compensation be?”
“For someone like you, fifty thousand won per act would be fair.”
“You’d only pay fifty thousand won even after doing that?”
“That’s already quite generous. You’re a forty-something auntie.”
“Ah…! Yes.”
“And since it’s per act, it’s not a small amount at all.”
“Huh?”
“Fifty thousand won per act. If I do it three times a day, that’s one hundred fifty thousand. Per month, four hundred fifty thousand. Our country’s median income is less than three hundred thousand, so it’s quite high income. Moreover, unlike regular workers who toil for a full day, this is income gained from investing just a few minutes—hundreds of times more. If I do it ten times a day, that’s five hundred thousand per day, or fifteen million per month. Definitely not a small amount. That’s why pretty young girls get hooked on entertainment places.”
“Ah, now that I think about it, that does make sense.”
Because she had only lived as a housewife, her sense of numbers and money was poor. I had to explain it with examples and calculations so she could finally grasp it.
“I’ll say it again: I’m only suggesting this to give you a reason to take my money. And this proposal also lets you earn money without leaving the office. That’s all I have to say. Then I’ll go out and work.”
“Ah, yes.”
After throwing the bait, I returned to my seat. This was something I couldn’t force her to do. She had to hesitate and feel the regret herself. And in truth, the one who would feel regret wasn’t me.
After our conversation ended, Choi In-sook would likely feel a deep sense of conflict. She had never done something like this before, so it would be agonizing. But she would never last long when money was involved.
“Mom, is it cup ramen again?”
“Just a little longer.”
“How much longer? It’s already the third day, right? And there’s no place to get money from. Why don’t we just go to Mom’s hometown and borrow some?”
“They might be watching. And the bank account is blocked.”
“If we open a new account at another bank, it would work.”
“Fine. I’ll find a way. Just wait a little longer.”
Choi In-sook sighed as Yu Min-ji grumbled while eating the cup ramen.
“May I come in, Representative?”
“Yes, please.”
After I showered and returned to the bedroom, Choi In-sook entered while carefully watching my every move.
“Is the previous suggestion still valid?”
“What suggestion?”
I answered indifferently even though I knew why she had come. The regret was hers alone.
“T-that hand-job thing. Sexual labor.”
“It was valid, but you said you had no intention of doing it.”
“No. I need money right now. I need to eat rice and kimchi.”
“Is that so? Fine. So when? Now?”
“Now? But Min-ji is outside.”
“Lock the door. If she asks why the door is locked, just say you’re discussing an important matter.”
“Ah, I see. Then I’ll lock the door first.”
—Click.
After Choi In-sook locked the door, she approached my bed and swallowed hard.
“So… how do I do this?”
“You have to take off your clothes.”
“Huh? Take off my clothes?”
She opened her mouth in surprise, then immediately covered it with her hand.
“In the original hand-job service, the woman removes her clothes and rubs her naked body against you, then uses her mouth and hands until you climax. Of course the man also touches her to heighten his own arousal.”
“I thought it was only hands.”
Choi In-sook was flustered when I said she had to take off her clothes and rub her body. She hadn’t expected the intensity to be this high.
“I’ll say it again: if you don’t want to do it, you don’t have to. I’m only offering it to give you a reason to take my money.”
“Haa… I had no idea it involved removing clothes. And touching my body.”
“That’s how the service works. Decide. Whether you do it or not.”
“…!”
Choi In-sook was in utter mental collapse. She had only come to touch my penis with her hands, but now she was being told she had to take off her clothes, rub herself, and suck with her mouth.
“Is it really like that?”
“Then I’ll show you.”
I searched my phone and showed her a few hand-job reviews from the entertainment communities. When she confirmed the service was exactly as I described, her face turned deathly pale.
“Haa… This is too much for me.”
“You said you didn’t have to. I already told you I’m only offering it to give you a reason.”
“Aah, but…!”
She was truly cornered. She lacked the resolve to do it, yet regretted not taking the money. The right moment had come to drop the final bait.
“Fine. Then let’s do it this way. The first three times will be only with my hands. The next three will be with my mouth. Starting from the fourth time, you take off your clothes. If you can’t do it, stop whenever you want. You can look for other work too.”
“Only hands?”
“Only for the first three times.”
“I-I see. I think I can do that.”
Actually, since Choi In-sook had already decided to come for the hand-job, she nodded eagerly and smiled when I said even hands would be enough.
*Heh. When she came in, she looked like she was forcing herself even to touch with hands. Probably because she’d feel guilt even while doing it. But since I said she doesn’t have to take off her clothes, hand jobs feel relatively easy for her.*
Knowing Choi In-sook’s mindset, I had deliberately offered the higher-level service first, then pulled back to the lowest level. The hesitation she had shown for hand jobs vanished the moment I said she didn’t have to remove her clothes.
“Then… how?”
“First, pull down my pants.”
“My pants, Representative? Yes, I understand.”
—Slick.
Choi In-sook trembled as she grabbed my track pants and pulled them down. The simple act of lowering a man’s clothes—especially another man’s, not her husband—filled her with tension. Once the pants were off, her panties were revealed.
“You have to take those off too.”
“Ah, yes.”
—Slick.
This time, Choi In-sook carefully pulled down my panties.
—Slap.
When the panties were removed, my erect penis stood tall in the air. It had already become erect before she even took off her own clothes. Choi In-sook swallowed hard as she stared at my penis, her face turning bright red in an instant.
*Now the real training of the mother and daughter begins.*
