30-03. The Shrimp +++
- Hey?! Wh-what are you doing right now!!
There was a commotion over the phone. Then an unfamiliar voice came through.
- Hello. Young master. I'm Inaeun, prosecutor from Incheon Central District Prosecutors' Office, Criminal Division 3.
It was a voice that carried the languid drawl of someone utterly devoid of dopamine, pushing through all laziness to speak—while at the same time dripping with the moist, sticky sexiness of a person thick with deep desires, barely suppressing them. Comforting yet stimulating.
This one's a fresh one.
Who would've thought she'd snatch the phone from whoever she was talking to and call me out like this?
I'd planned to go see her anyway, but running into her voice first wasn't a bad experience. Hearing a voice for the first time face-to-face feels different from just hearing it over the phone.
"Young master, huh... So you know who I am, Prosecutor Inaeun?"
- I only know you're the young master. For now. The results will come in soon enough.
"Oh yeah? Then I don't have much to say. What is it you want from me, snatching the phone like that? A thank-you note? Yeah, the sexbot yesterday was pretty pricey. By commoner standards."
It was meant as a reminder, a warning, but it didn't land at all.
- Are you coming? Here.
"Of course. Gotta go inspect our bold little prosecutor from head to toe. I've been thinking about you a lot lately."
- What an honor. That the young master has thought of me so much. I'll be waiting.
Should I brew some coffee?
"Lots of sugar."
I hung up. A laugh escaped me.
"This bitch is totally nuts."
Waiting? I said I'd inspect her from head to toe, and she's still holding out instead of running? Does she really have something else in mind? Like Sua said?
"Even if she does, you're getting drenched in cum from head to toe first."
Once you've caught a wild animal, you gotta break it in. If it's useless, eat it. If it's got potential, train it into a hunting dog.
I took Seo Eun-mi's hand and guided it to my cock, which was starting to harden.
"Stroke it gently."
"Yes, young master."
Just enough to keep the erection steady—Seo Eun-mi's soft handjob hit the spot.

"Y-you, you crazy bastard??!!!"
After the call ended, Emilia shrieked and snatched the phone back.
"Do you know who that is...!!"
"She's freaking out big time. Must be someone really high up."
"You call that 'someone'?! "
"Looks like the investigation's wrapped up... The guy we've been dying to find is on his way. Let's wait."
Inaeun tossed the documents aside carelessly and rummaged next to the water cooler for a coffee mix packet. A premium one at 300 won a pop.
"What the hell are you doing?"
"Said I'd make coffee."
"Ha. Right now, that cheap crap for him?"
"If you think it's cheap, why keep it stocked here?"
"For people like me. The ones who deal with stress-makers."
"Guess he doesn't stress you out much? You sure lit up, though. Lucky me."
"What the fuck are you on about? The coffee's gonna get cold."
Inaeun tore open another mix packet. Then added extra sugar. Emilia shook her head at the sight.
What kind of psycho is this? She flopped onto the sofa with that thought.
"...The bastard who killed Jincheol... is coming here?"
"What the hell's with that kid?"
Detective Song muttered to himself in a daze. Inaeun let out a deep sigh.
- Bzzz.
The phone vibrated. Inaeun's.
"Yes. Hello."
- Pro-Prosecutor!!!
A desperately urgent voice. Clerk Yoo, panting, continued.
"What's wrong?"
- You have to stop! Now!
"?"
- Y-you're still there, right? At Rainbow Miracle?
"Yeah. Just got off the phone with the 'young master.' Said he's coming, so I'm waiting. Finally, the clouds are parting, and the sun's shining through."
- !!!
Clerk Yoo freaked out. They should drop everything and declare no charges yesterday, and here she was, not just talking on the phone with that young master but waiting to meet him face-to-face.
He drew breath from deep in his lungs and shouted.
- The mastermind behind this case is the Goryeo Group, Prosecutor! That 'young master' is Ko Mu-yeol, grandson of the Goryeo Group!!!
"Goryeo... Group?"
Inaeun's hand paused mid-stir with the coffee packet, her eyes widening slightly. Even when she'd found the sexbot sprawled in the bedroom, her emotions hadn't budged—but now they stirred, just a bit.
- Even for you, Prosecutor, this is too much! Come back now!!
"..."
For a while, she stood there blankly, hand frozen.
Goryeo Group. Even someone clueless about how society really ticks could name one dominant force. That's the Goryeo Group. They might not know the specifics of how it permeates everything, but everyone knows its influence touches every corner you turn. Some scholars even say it loosely rules all of Asia, not just Korea.
"Looks like... the shrimp's hooked a fish way too big. Didn't expect this level."
- What?? What are you saying?! Hurry up and—
"Thanks for all your hard work. Looks like we won't be working together anymore."
- Prosecutor?
"Bye."
- Pros—
She ended the call. It rang again immediately, but she ignored it. A faint heat rose in her as she stirred the coffee mix vigorously.
+++
"Prosecutor...!!"
"Wh-what did she say??"
"...Thanks for the hard work..."
"Pardon?"
"...Won't be working together anymore...!!"
"!!"
Clerk Yoo clenched his fists, biting his lip until it bled. The Inaeun he admired and adored was still unflinching, even knowing the opponent was untouchable.
His shouts to back off, and she'd calmly said goodbye.
Risking her life... to uphold justice!
What a noble woman. What an exemplary prosecutor.
Even knowing it was futile, hopeless, picturing her walking out with that languid face made his eyes burn.
Squeeze.
I'm...!!
He was scared. Vague enemies had fueled his courage, but now that it was concrete, he couldn't muster it. He wanted to drop everything and go back to normal right now.
Yeah. Let's go back. Goryeo Group? That's too much, even if...
You only headbutt if there's a sliver of chance. This is insane.
So... let's go back. Not because I'm a coward. It's rational.
He turned to leave. But...
But then—
- Inaeun's name on the sexbot flashed in his mind. The bot's ravaged, humiliated state. That horrific, lewd scene now haunted him vividly.
Prosecutor...!
He reignited his resolve. He couldn't leave her alone like this. Couldn't let the Goryeo Group's scoundrel young master lay his filthy hands on her body.
Never that!!
He revived his vow. Even if she walked into hell, he'd stand by her side!
"Sorry, but Clerk, go back on your own."
"P-pardon?"
"I'm going to Rainbow Miracle."
"!!"
With that, he headed for the car. The clerk blocked him.
"...Step aside."
"Clerk Yoo, calm down. Calm down and let's call first—"
"She won't listen to me. Phone's off anyway."
"But... but ahead lies... hell!!"
"..."
She'd die if she went—, he said fiercely to the man blocking him... no, to himself, who wanted to turn back right now.
"Yeah, at first it was admiration. Wanted to uphold justice, thought I could protect it with her. But... I was just in love with her."
"Huh??"
"...Even if it kills me, I want to be by her side. I'm going."
"Clerk Yoo..."
The clerk's face hardened with resolve, mirroring the man's.
"...Then I'm coming too."
"?!"
"We're a team. One team assisting Prosecutor Inaeun!"
"!!"
He opened the door.
"And you still owe me that meal you promised? Gotta make good on that top-grade Hanwoo beef intestines feast."
Something swelled in Clerk Yoo's chest. In this barren hell of Demonic Incheon, to have such an outstanding colleague by his side, and serve under someone like Prosecutor Inaeun—what luck.
This one step, no regrets at all!
He stepped toward the car.
+++
"We've arrived, Master."
"Whoa... that's her?"
Rainbow Miracle underground parking lot. Emilia and a few others were out waiting. Among them, two unfamiliar faces: one woman, one man.
The standout was, naturally, the woman.
That was Prosecutor Inaeun.
"Voice was hot enough, but damn, what a fuckable bitch."
Unlike with Seo Hyun-ju, I'd deliberately avoided photos. Figured since I'd eat her anyway, no point spoiling it. Better impact seeing the real thing blind.
And it paid off. Already half-hard from Seo Eun-mi's soft handjob, but spotting Inaeun made me go full mast.
