Chapter Title: What Do You Want?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Well then, shall we hear it? What is it you want?"
Three days after the audition, I got a call from the casting director saying I'd been cast as Hee-chan in Fixer from Hell.
— Jung Woo-jin? We met at the audition hall, right? This is casting director Kim Min-woo.
"Yes, this is Jung Woo-jin. Ah, so you were the casting director."
The man who'd been sitting next to PD Choi Hyun-yong must have been the casting director.
— The thing is, it's still a bit early to announce the casting results, but I wanted to let you know first. Woo-jin, let's definitely work together.
"Haha, thank you for the kind words."
And the following Monday.
I headed to the Stone Actors headquarters with Son Sia. Or rather, I reported for duty.
The casting results for Fixer from Hell had come through to the agency.
— Hey, Woo-jin... How the hell did this happen...? Anyway, congrats. No, suddenly this... Ah, whatever. Come to the office first, and we'll talk.
I was driving the van while taking Manager Seok Woo's call, and soon arrived at the underground parking lot.
3rd floor, Actor Management Team 2 conference room.
Even though I'd arrived ten minutes early for the meeting time Seok Woo hyung had told me...
"You're here?"
CEO Baek Hee-jin was already seated at the head of the table, gazing at me with languid eyes.
As Son Sia and I took our seats, CEO Baek Hee-jin opened the discussion. She scanned the faces of everyone in the room one by one before speaking.
"First, for the Fixer from Hell casting results—excluding Sia—Min Do-hee for 'Min-joo,' Kim Min-soo for 'Kwang-hoon.' And—"
CEO Baek Hee-jin paused, leaning forward slightly as she sent a seductive glance my way.
"Our Woo-jin snagged the role of 'Hee-chan,' didn't he?"
Baek Hee-jin shot me a look like she wanted to devour me whole, then quickly leaned back and added softly.
"Applause."
At that single word, everyone in the conference room clapped in unison.
Clap clap clap clap clap clap—
The room filled with the sound of applause, and only then was I able to take a good look at everyone present.
CEO Baek Hee-jin, Division Head Sung Si-hoon, Team 2 Leader, Seok Woo hyung, and the PR team head— all familiar faces from the last meeting.
The new additions were Min Do-hee and Kim Min-soo, both young actors.
The guy didn't interest me.
I closely observed Min Do-hee's face. A clean mask with a somewhat shy expression.

⤷ 2nd Condition: Fulfill the 1st condition first.
'Dewy skin, huh...'
Min Do-hee's skin texture was indeed exceptional. Full of vitality, you could say. But she was notoriously timid, so the conditions were pretty tricky.
Of course, it wasn't impossible, but for now, I'd leave her alone.
'Gotta focus on my main target first.'
I finally turned my gaze to Baek Hee-jin. She met my eyes with an intrigued expression.

The formal congratulations on the casting wrapped up quickly, and CEO Baek Hee-jin spoke in her languid voice.
"Woo-jin, you and I have some private business, right?"
Her voice was languid, but her sharp, white serpent eyes pierced me.
I steadied my trembling heart and replied.
"Before that, I'd like to request a private meeting with you first, CEO."
"Hmm... Is that so?"
A sticky, drawn-out voice.
It carried her interest in me.
"Fine. Woo-jin, come to my office after the meeting. Everyone else, work hard."
Yes—!
Min Do-hee and Kim Min-soo replied energetically. Son Sia muttered softly with a pouty face.
The CEO's office on the 7th floor of the Stone Actors building was incredibly spacious and cozy.
"Come in."
CEO Baek Hee-jin was wearing a dizzyingly tight dress that clung to her body today as well. Through the plunging neckline, her provocative lingerie and cleavage were tantalizingly visible, while the side slit revealed her snow-white thighs.
Click-clack. Click-clack.
She never walked ordinarily. Sometimes she'd hesitate after lifting one foot, stepping down leisurely; other times, she'd tap lightly in quick succession.
A seductive gait that seemed to carry its own rhythm. With such steps, Baek Hee-jin approached the sofa and plopped down heavily.
Thud.
Just from her movements, you could tell how plush the sofa was—her overflowing, almost bursting breasts jiggled accordingly.
Without even telling me to sit, Baek Hee-jin jumped straight into the conversation.
"You've been Son Sia's road manager for about a year now, and before that, you aspired to be an actor?"
"Yes."
"Mostly extras. Pretty face, but no real acting chops."
As expected of the white snake—she didn't hesitate to say it right in front of the person involved.
"That's right."
I answered her flatly. But inwardly, I was deeply flustered.

⤷ 2nd Condition: Bury your face in 'Baek Hee-jin's' breasts for 3 seconds.
'Fuck...'
The condition was tighter than expected. Unlike with Son Sia, forcing it would be tough. The risk was too high.
"Hmm..."
Baek Hee-jin let out another coquettish hum and gestured for me to sit on the opposite sofa.
As I sat down with restrained movements, she watched me and said,
"I heard you turned the audition hall upside down."
I had no idea how she knew that, but I winked casually, as if it were obvious, projecting confidence.
"Well, something like that."
"Pretty bold, aren't you?"
Baek Hee-jin wiped the smile from her face and glared at me. A piercing gaze sharp enough to bore through a person. My body tensed instinctively.
If I hadn't practiced for Hee-chan, my expression might have cracked—but somehow, I managed to maintain my composure under her stare.
How long did we lock eyes like that?
"Hmm..."
CEO Baek Hee-jin reverted to her languid expression and looked away.
She twirled her wavy hair with slender fingers and said,
"I don't hate bold kids..."
With those words, CEO Baek Hee-jin suddenly stood up.
Click.
Her right foot took a small step toward me.
Then her left foot lifted, her voluptuous hips twisting as her legs crossed.
Click.
This time, a wider step.
And when her right foot finally left the floor again...
Baek Hee-jin closed the distance in one bold stride, right in front of me.
Whoosh.
Her thick body scent and musk assaulted my nose. The sweet aroma made my head spin.
When I came to my senses, Baek Hee-jin had shoved her face right up to mine as I sat on the sofa.
A bewitching face that suited heavy makeup perfectly.
My gaze drifted down involuntarily, and I gasped at the breathtaking sight I'd never witnessed before.
"Ah..."
Two massive mounds of flesh, forming a deep, dark valley where they overlapped.
Baek Hee-jin smirked at my wandering eyes and said,
"Pfft, well then, shall we hear it? What is it our Woo-jin wants?"
It was the serpentine whisper of temptation.
Squish.
Suddenly, the sofa sank deeply, and something subtly pressed against my groin.
Baek Hee-jin had slipped her left leg between mine, folding it up.
Her knee was gently pressing against my balls.
I swallowed hard and lifted my gaze again.
"Mm?!"
Squish.
A prickly yet soft sensation on my face. An enormous volume smothered me, blocking my breath.
I struggled to inhale, her thick flesh scent filling my head.
In that moment of utter confusion, unable to even grasp the situation...
[Acquired Baek Hee-jin's talent: Refined British English Pronunciation (B).]
'Ah...!'
The moment felt eternal, but it passed.
"Hmm..."
Baek Hee-jin wiggled her hips as she sauntered back to her seat, crossing her legs.
Sometime in between, a stack of papers that looked like a contract had been placed in front of me.
"Take a look. You won't be disappointed. The base pay is above rookie level, and you can take a big cut based on performance."
I leaned forward and skimmed the contract roughly. But nothing sank in.
'She played me.'
I got something out of it, but I'd fallen into CEO Baek Hee-jin's rhythm.
The contract wouldn't even register in my eyes.

Baek Hee-jin's 'talents' no longer caught my eye.
All I saw was...
The white serpent—seductress Baek Hee-jin—crossing her legs and folding her arms to accentuate her cleavage even more.
CEO Baek Hee-jin was clearly trying to tame me.
But...
'We'll see who ends up taming whom.'
