The Chain of Self-Pleasure and the Magic Mirror

"That... Actually, I know that if I can see where someone's qi meridians are blocked, or if my sweat or saliva... gets absorbed into their body during treatment, it triggers a weird reaction..."

"Triggers a reaction?"

"Senior Dohee didn't have any of that at ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠all..."

"Oh? I thought something looked off on the CCTV..."

"U-um, did you watch my training session with Senior from the start, by any chance?"

"Yeah."

"Aaaah! So you saw Senior Dohee masturbating too?"

"Yeah."

------

"Whaaat?!"

Seohwi was stunned by how casually Chae-ah answered.

"It's a place where sensitive treatments happen, so of course I monitor all the CCTVs myself."

"Ah... So, is the CCTV room only visible from your monitor, Director?"

"Right. That's why I could be a bit bolder. And the staff don't even know there's CCTV in the break room."

"Ah..."

"Dohee hasn't dated a guy in ages, I bet. She does that in the break room sometimes. At first I wondered what was up, but it doesn't interfere with work, so I just pretended not to notice—probably loneliness."

"I never imagined Senior Dohee, who's all cool ice queen, doing something like that."

"So it's okay for me?"

"N-no, not at all. Ahem."

"Anyway, I saw your lust explode mid-treatment with me, and the same with Suyeon right after. But not with Dohee. You got hard first, and then she seemed to heat up naturally seeing that...?"

"D-Director, actually... I can see where people's qi meridians are blocked. Basically, I see them on people, and massaging those spots seems to make their lust burst out."

"I thought something was weird too..."

"The weird part is, Senior Dohee had none of that. No matter how hard I looked for meridians, or poked around since I couldn't see them, no special reaction at all."

"Couldn't see them..."

"So I was trying to figure out what differs between you, Suyeon, and Senior Dohee... but no clue."

"In the CCTV room just now, you could see my meridians?"

"Uh. No, I couldn't."

"I think I know."

"What is it?!"

"You said those qi meridians... when you clear the blockages, lust explodes, right?"

"Yes."

"What if there's nothing to explode?"

"Ah!"

"If their lust is somewhat satisfied or they have no desires, the meridians don't block up, so you can't see them...! That makes sense!"

"But... in the CCTV room earlier, your blocked meridians weren't visible either?"

"That's because..."

Gulp.

"I masturbated watching you masturbate to Dohee on CCTV—all on CCTV myself."

"Ah."

"Don't 'ah' me. It was just a coincidence. Plus yesterday came to mind."

"So this is a 'picture-frame masturbation' chain... or maybe even better, full 'five-senses immersion'... Anyway, thanks to you, Director, I think I've cracked it."

"Really? What are you on about... But you... went crazy pounding thinking of Dohee, huh? Dohee that great? Am I not good enough? Hah! Figures, young guys like 'em young. Seriously..."

"No, ma'am. I'm just a loyal cum dispenser following my employment contract and your orders to the letter?"

"Listen to this guy. Anyway! Keep contact with staff to a minimum~ I'm worried it'll cause trouble someday. Dohee doesn't even date, so she relieves herself like that occasionally."

"Ah, so that's Senior Dohee's deal... But Director, today's masturbation was purely from lust, right?"

"Mmm... Why?"

"Nothing! If there's no special business today, can I head out? Or maybe dinner tonight?"

"I've got plans tonight. I do have a fiancé, you know!"

"Ah... Fiancé... Have a good time... Wait, what?! You have a fiancé and still... with me...?"

"Th-that was just a sudden lust explosion during massage... Don't worry about it, I might've broken otherwise... Hmph."

"I'll be careful from now on..."

"Hmph."

Seohwi had connected with Chae-ah in the CCTV room, then talked it out in her office, and it felt like all his questions were answered.

Chae-ah and Suyeon had blocked meridians from pent-up, unsatisfied lust building in their bodies. Dohee's weren't visible because she'd just masturbated right before meeting Seohwi, relieving her lust somewhat. And when he hooked up with Chae-ah in the CCTV room, nothing showed because her recent self-pleasure had cleared it...

Thinking that far, Seohwi's head spun with how things would go with Chae-ah and Dohee from here.

Seohwi read the sudden status window and waved his hand to dismiss it.

What the hell! You bastard status window! Telling me now—what good does it do? I already figured it out!!!

Seohwi had been a virgin for 21 years, his first time with Chae-ah—he'd barely interacted with women.

Chae-ah had left for her next VVIP session, so Seohwi sat on the office sofa, lost in thought.

After pondering with his eyes closed, Seohwi opened them ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠feeling refreshed.

Did I doze off...?

Glancing at the clock, it seemed he'd nodded off on the sofa while thinking after Chae-ah left.

Ah, my body's feeling way better. Felt like a horse in heat since yesterday, non-stop... Guess I needed the rest.

And this status window—feels like it's mocking me lately... Nah, just imagining.

Seohwi grumbled, but his mind felt clearer. Now that he grasped the meridian principle, he'd never panic again.

As he gathered himself on the sofa, someone knocked on the office door. It opened, and Yuju from reception peeked in with a bright smile, holding the door.

"Oh? You're up? Director saw you sleeping earlier and said not to wake you—you must've been exhausted. Slept like a rock?"

"Ah, yeah... It's already dark out."

"Yep. Came to wake you before clocking out."

"Perfect timing—I just woke up."

"By chance, is Senior Dohee still here?"

"Nope, she left. Why, got more training after hours? Senior Dohee's pretty, right?"

"Heehee, she left with the day shift crew—night shift's coming in now!"

Seohwi found Yuju's beaming chatter adorable.

"Nah, nothing like that. I'll head out soon. You go home first, Yuju."

Her eyes narrowed playfully, suspicious, then she waved goodbye and left.

Seohwi scratched his head, brushing it off, and stretched. Surveying the office revealed Chae-ah's tidy personality: dark walnut furniture, minimal decor. A small shower-bathroom attached to the wall. Oversized sofa doubling as a bed, fridge—bigger and nicer than his studio.

Director started her business young—must be why she splurges without hesitation...

Suddenly, her dinner plans popped into his head.

So... reception's empty without Yuju, no Chae-ah here, just night shift...

Instead of heading home, Seohwi decided to shower in the attached bathroom. Chae-ah might notice, but he'd clean up spotless.

Standing under the hot water ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠long, yesterday and today's wild escapades replayed. Did fatigue make me crash like that? He finished up, dried off completely, dressed, and tousled his hair.

Then he remembered Chae-ah's CCTV monitors. Sitting at her desk, he nudged the mouse—screens lit up.

Chae-ah was out, door closed, only Dohee and Yuju knew he was here—and both gone. Safe to browse.

Watching the CCTV room feed, he cringed: Director saw my embarrassing moments from here...

Checking other rooms, he spotted people in the masseuse break room—two chatting over coffee.

That's them... High-end shop staff—slim and polished...

Yuju had explained: day shift leaves, night shift arrives, lock doors for reservations only. Few bookings, occasional late-nighters before midnight. Night girls mostly sleep in the lounge otherwise.

Today's schedule: two at 10 PM, nothing after. Scanning split screens, his eyes caught someone in the VVIP room.

Zooming in—Chae-ah, the one with "plans."

She said she was leaving for an appointment... why here?

No treatment booked, not in uniform. Puzzled, the entrance buzzed—a man entered.

What? Guy punches in the code like he owns the place?

Seohwi rubbed his damp hair, leaning close. Suit-clad, walked confidently—familiar. Another camera caught him heading straight to Chae-ah's VVIP room.

Ah! Director's fiancé!

Strikes me as rich and stylish... suit fits perfect... Tch, moneybags snag the beauties...

Wonder what it's like with Director Chae-ah's fiancé... Jealous...

We just did stuff, but still—envious!

Seohwi planned to leave once they exited. Couldn't hear their talk, but it dragged on.

Waiting, he scanned the office. Light switch by the door—flicked it off early. Room went dark; faint light seeped under the door. But also from behind the sofa wall.

What light...? Huh?

Touching the glowing spot—rattled. Bookshelf with props slid aside, revealing a huge glass window.

Linked to the VVIP room—Chae-ah and her fiancé crystal clear.

Eh? From VVIP, it's a big mirror!

Whoa! Magic mirror!!!

Chill ran down his spine; he nearly yelped but held it. Across the one-way glass, they chatted—then the fiancé hugged ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠her from behind, groping her breasts.
