Rachel, who had been out cold and fast asleep for quite some time, bolted upright with a bad feeling gnawing at her.

"Gasp, huff...!?"

It was due to a nightmare of sinking into a damp, sticky swamp.

But even after waking up, she still felt a dampness around her hips.

"W-what is this...?"

Rachel hurriedly peeled herself off the sticky, soaked bed.

Dim lighting.

Looking around, she saw Han Woo-hee sitting on a small chair against the wall, her face gloomy.

"W-Woo-hee? W-what's going on...? W-where's Jung Woo-jin? W-what happened?"

Han Woo-hee replied in a subdued tone.

"Jung Woo-jin left. How the hell should I know."

Rachel stared at Han Woo-hee in bewilderment, wondering why she was bottomless.

In her hand was a dildo, drenched and dripping.

"W-what were you doing...?"

At those words, Han Woo-hee's face twisted sharply. Korean curses spilled from her lips.

"Ah, fuck off. Just shut up. You're pissing me off."

Han Woo-hee tossed the dildo to the floor and pinched the bridge of her nose hard, muttering to herself.

"Haa... He just left, but he didn't say he was dumping me, right? That wasn't it... right?"

Watching her quietly, Rachel checked the time out of sheer absurdity and moved to the window.

"Ah, ouch..."

A sharp pain shot between her legs, so she braced herself against the windowsill as she drew back the curtains. Outside was already dark.

Winter made nights fall quickly, but considering they'd arrived around ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠noon, quite some time had passed.

Not seeing her phone, Rachel turned to Han Woo-hee.

"W-what time is it now?"

Han Woo-hee, still lost in thought with her head down, answered roughly.

"7 PM."

Her mind was a total mess; she couldn't sort out her thoughts.

The masked man's identity was Jung Woo-jin. She'd learned that when he finally removed his mask himself at the end.

And his parting words were...

- I was gonna go all the way to your ass, but in your current state, it might break you, so I'll pass. Behave and go home, got it?

'Well, if he shoved that thing in like that... it could've been bad-.'

A sense of relief mixed with regret crept up simultaneously.

Rachel enjoyed anal sex too.

'Not in my current mood... Does that mean he'll do it when I'm in the mood later?'

With a subtle anticipation, Rachel felt a faint itch where her dried secretions crusted around her anus.

Gulp.

'I wonder what it'll feel like...?'

Despite the unexpectedly rough sex, Rachel had felt ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠an ecstasy she'd never known before—like floating in the heavens.

A cock that seemed to embody only the best traits of ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠every race. Imagining it buried in her ass already had her excited.

"W-Woo-hee!"

"What now."

Han Woo-hee didn't look too pleased, but that wasn't a big deal to Rachel.

"How can we cheer Jung Woo-jin up?"

"What the hell? Have you lost your mind?"

The film Friends of the Opposite Sex had achieved 5 million viewers and left theaters.

And then...

Inner Beauty was just one step away from 10 million viewers, drawing massive buzz.

Amid the film's explosive success as a long-awaited blockbuster, one video was spreading wildly on SNS and YouTube.

It was a review video uploaded by a YouTuber specializing in movies, starting to gain traction from week 4 of release.

Coordinated in advance with the film company for release timing, the video on this major YouTube channel with nearly 4 million subscribers was already nearing 1 million views.

With English subtitles provided, foreign reactions filled the comments too.

All the comments pointed to 7 minutes 20 seconds.

Naturally, that timeline referred to the brief scene where Jung Woo-jin appeared at the party.

Separate from the fact that in a roughly 2-hour film, the most talked-about moment was a mere 3-minute clip unrelated to the main plot.

The clip spread across various YouTube reactors, and the film company didn't crack down much.

It was already week 4 post-release, and they expected significant new viewers from the buzz.

About 5 minutes into the video...

"So."

A middle-aged man with round glasses looked up, his eyes sharp and intellectual.

"You're recommending this Korean actor Jung Woo-jin? For the 'Brian' role, no less?"

Steven Hodge, director of the occult series up to season 2. His hit in North America was...

Paranormal

True to its name meaning supernatural phenomena, the series featured evil spirits, curses, demons, and occult elements as core themes.

The leads were two female actors.

The tough, physical exorcist sister and her brainy little sister.

They bickered often but teamed up against common foes to resolve supernatural incidents—troublemakers who drew huge buzz each season thanks to CMTV's big-name casting.

The physical sister was played by Hollywood action icon and femme fatale Catherine Tramell; the smart sister by pop singer-actress Jennifer Weisz.

Episode-based series like this featured tons of guest actors per season, from season-long main villains to various supporting roles.

Steven Hodge adjusted his glasses and asked Rachel,

"Is this some PC push? Casting an East Asian for a vampire role typically seen as a Western heartthrob? And not just any villain—the season 3 main villain 'Brian'? The footage you showed has that appeal, sure, but the risk is huge. Any other—"

As Steven tactfully tried to decline, Rachel smiled and replied,

"Director, I'll suggest other options too, but how about a meeting under the guise of an audition? You'll change your mind once you see him in person. And no loss even if you don't cast him."

"Hm..."

The image of actor 'Jung Woo-jin' entering the party flashed in Steven Hodge's mind.

Even as an East Asian, his aura was undeniable.

A refined elegance like a masterpiece by old masters, a mystical allure that felt inhuman.

Finding that in Western handsome actors was rare.

Jung Woo-jin was undoubtedly an actor any director would want to film at least once.

However, with the recent PC (Political Correctness) wave sparking controversies—like a Black Little Mermaid in a white princess role or a Latina Snow White—Hollywood had weathered a storm.

The 'Brian' role was the main villain for the upcoming season 3.

A vampire disguised as a priest (Father), seemingly aiding the protagonists early on before revealing his true colors for a shocking twist.

Plus, with story foreshadowing already laid, he needed an absolute presence.

"Damn it..."

Despite thinking it wouldn't work, the video Rachel showed lingered in Steven Hodge's mind like poison.
