Chapter Title: The Totem Effect
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Sales were explosive.
The part-timers begged the owner, Gong Ji-cheol, to hire more staff.
“If you’re just going to have Chang-woo Oppa sit there like a totem, you need to hire more people. Customers aren’t ordering one drink each; they’re ordering ten!”
“Shouldn’t we get an automatic cup washer or something?”
Many customers were entranced by the sight of the handsome man outside and came in to order takeout.
There was even a waiting line.
People would linger outside, rushing in to grab a seat as soon as one opened up.
Whenever customers asked who the handsome man was, owner Gong Ji-cheol would beam and say,
“He’s one of our employees, just visiting on his day off.”
“He works Monday to Friday, 9 to 6.”
It was a massive success.
Hourly sales were dozens of times higher than the same period on any other day.
As the handsome man kept drinking coffee, the customers unconsciously did the same.
It was all thanks to them continuously placing additional orders.
“Seeing Chang-woo Oppa drink coffee makes me crave it like crazy.”
“Wow, he really makes coffee look delicious.”
“Watching someone that handsome enjoy his drink is making my mouth water.”
Just then, Lee Chang-woo packed up his laptop and stood up.
Gong Ji-cheol’s heart sank.
“Oh, leaving already?”
“Yes. I should get going.”
“You could stay a little longer...”
“I’ve been here for six hours. I need to get dinner now.”
“Alright, take care. And make sure you come to work tomorrow. You have to come. Got it?”
“Don’t worry. See you tomorrow. And I’ll see all of you again tomorrow, too.”
“Get home safely, Chang-woo Oppa.”
“You have to come tomorrow!”
Not even twenty minutes after the handsome man left, three-quarters of the tables were empty.
The part-timers breathed a sigh of relief, while the owner grew melancholic.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ My employment conditions were, of course, a secret from the other part-timers.
So after leaving the cafe, I texted the owner.
[Me] So, did the totem effect work?
[The Owner] It was a huge hit! You saw how packed the tables were, right?
[The Owner] We made 52 times the usual for this time slot! A total jackpot!
[The Owner] You were drinking coffee non-stop, so the customers just kept ordering more without even realizing it.
[The Owner] Did you always like coffee that much? You looked like you could be a model for a coffee commercial.
[Me] I pretty much lived on coffee.
To survive grad school, I had to inject caffeine like it was oxygen.
[The Owner] I'll make sure to pay you for the time you sat here today, too.
[Me] No, it’s fine. I don't officially start until tomorrow.
[The Owner] I have to. It's money we made thanks to you.
[The Owner] The sooner you get a taste for money, the sooner I can succeed, right?
[The Owner] I’m doing this for my own sake, so please just take it.
[The Owner] Hey, I'm sending it right now. Give me your account number.
This guy really knows how to win people over.
I was tempted, but I still have some sense of decency, so I was about to refuse.
But since he was insisting he was forcing it on me for his own benefit, I figured I should just graciously accept.
[Me] In that case, I’ll gratefully accept.
[Me] But I need to open a new bank account.
[Me] So, would it be okay if I stop by the bank early tomorrow morning before coming to work? I’ll make up for the time, of course.
[The Owner] Sure, sure. Do that.
[The Owner] Just make sure to contact me when you wake up in the morning.
[The Owner] Otherwise, I'll be worried you won't show up.
[Me] Got it. I’ll text you.
I wondered just how much 52 times the usual sales amounted to.
I was suddenly curious, but I felt it would be awkward to pry, so I let it go.
It was net profit, so it's not like a simple number would pop out immediately anyway.
“Oppa.”
Jung Hye-na was waiting for me at our meeting spot.
“Is the cafe in that direction?”
“Yeah. It’s in the building with the Suhyup Bank on the second floor.”
“Oh, I know that place. I’ve passed by it a few times. The seating area is huge.”
She was wearing a sleeveless crop top that revealed her slender waist and slightly loose-fitting shorts.
Her collarbones, shoulders, stomach, and legs were all refreshingly exposed. It was a nice sight.
A very nice sight, but...
“Do you normally dress like this for work?”
“No. I dressed like this today because I knew we were having dinner out.”
“You should cover up a bit more inside the office.”
“Okay. I had something on over this and a blanket on my lap.”
When we’re together, I don’t mind if her clothes are revealing.
It’s enjoyable for me to look, and the pride of knowing such a beautiful girl is mine makes my shoulders straighten.
But in a place like her office, where I’m not around, her revealing clothes make me uneasy.
“By the way, I think I did a great job as a totem today. They said sales were 52 times higher than usual.”
“Wow. As expected, women just can’t walk past you. I was the same.”
“He said he’d pay me for today’s share tomorrow. He wanted to give it to me today, but I didn’t know my account number.”
“Your boss is a real angel.”
“I tried to refuse, but he insisted, saying he needed me to get a taste for money so he could succeed too. So I accepted.”
“He seems like a good person.”
“I know, right?”
We went into a simple, ordinary restaurant and ordered our food.
Jung Hye-na offered to treat me to beef, but I stopped her.
“You spent nearly ten million won setting up my personal server. You need to start saving. I feel like I’m freeloading too much.”
“I’m the one supporting you, so why do you feel that way? I want to treat you.”
“Next time, next time.”
The moment we entered the restaurant, I felt the gazes of everyone in the room fix on us before scattering.
It’s still hard to get used to this.
But I suppose I’ll have to, as long as I have this face.
When our food arrived, something was off.
“Excuse me, we didn’t order a rolled omelet.”
“It’s on the house, on the house. The young man is just so handsome, I wanted to give you something extra. Eat up. Here, a Coke and a Sprite, also on the house.”
“Ah, thank you.”
Giving away a 9,000 won menu item and two drinks for free just like that...
At this rate, she wouldn’t be making any profit.
As we ate, I casually tested the waters with Jung Hye-na.
“What if a perfect anti-aging technology was developed, and you could get it as a subscription service? What would you think?”
“That would be amazing! I’d pour all my money into it, even if it meant giving up on my savings every month.”
“If a technology like that came out and I had the money, I’d keep you exactly as you are now, forever.”
“If something like that were to come out, I wish it had when I was seventeen.”
“Why?”
“I think I was the prettiest I’ve ever been in my life when I was seventeen.”
“If other women heard a twenty-year-old say that, they’d curse you out.”
So, Jung Hye-na doesn’t consider her current self to be in her prime.
She already thinks she’s in the process of aging.
In that case, I have all the more reason to freeze her aging, starting today.
We finished our meal and stood up.
“Shall we grab a beer before we head home?”
“No. We need to go have sex, now.”
“Ah...”
She looked away shyly at my firm words.
But the corners of her mouth were turned up in a smile.
Cute.
“How many times are we going to do it today...?”
“What time do you need to sleep to be okay for work tomorrow?”
“Two... no, I can sleep by three!”
“Won’t you be tired if you go to bed that late?”
“Two, then!”
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ The moment we returned to our little one-and-a-half-room nest, we were all over each other, kissing and clutching as we hastily tore off our clothes.
We had a long way to go, so we undressed first and headed straight for the bathroom.
After setting up the two cameras, I penetrated her pussy from behind.
“Ahk. Oppa...”
Her pale body swayed as if she were about to collapse.
A stream of water from the showerhead poured over her head.
Jung Hye-na turned her head back, and we shared a passionate kiss, completely soaked.
Embracing her from behind, I kneaded her breast with my left hand.
My right hand reached down to her lower abdomen, caressing her clitoris.
From the moment I entered her, Jung Hye-na’s lower body trembled, and she lost her balance.
If I hadn’t been holding her firmly, she would have already fallen.
I deliberately thrusted slowly.
Kissing her, fucking her pussy, touching her breast, and stroking her clit.
While doing all that, I also checked the shop.
It was chaotic trying to handle five things at once.
‘Use Aging Suppression for Women.’
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ [You are in a state of genital union. The female-only item will be used on Jung Hye-na.] ⚔ JUNG HYE-NA'S STATUS ⚔ [Age: 20]
[169cm, 48kg, C-cup]
[Base Libido: F]
[Libido Towards Me: S]
[Affection Towards Me: SS]
[My External Ejaculations: 1]
[My Oral Ejaculations: 64]
[My Vaginal Ejaculations: 55]
[Note: No anal sex experience]
[Aging Halted (Time Remaining: 29 days 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds)]
This is it.
I could cry.
Hye-na, from now on, I’ll diligently apply this buff so you don’t age even a second longer.
To do that, I’ll need to cum inside you at least 450 times a month.
I didn’t hold back and let out a quick load.
I have a long way to go to pay off the 450-coin installment.
I currently have 55 coins.
To avoid paying interest, I need to cum inside her 395 times within 30 days.
With my pure stamina, without the desire buffs from cumming outside or in her mouth, I can go more than 11 times.
Since my semen production capacity increases with each ejaculation, 30 days should be enough.
Still, there’s her period to consider.
To be safe, it would be best to get all 395 rounds done within 25 days.
I need to cum inside her 450 times every month.
If I start paying interest even once, it’ll snowball, and I’ll be screwed.
Squish, squish, squish, squish...
As I simultaneously ravaged her lips, breasts, clit, and pussy, I pressed my groin tight against her white buttocks and tensed up.
“I’m cumming.”
“Uuugh...”
A cool sense of release washed over me as I emptied my hot desire deep inside Hye-na.
I sat down on the bathroom floor with my cock still inside her.
Then, I gently turned her body around into a lap-sitting position.
Her white face, with strands of soaking wet black hair plastered to it.
Her exhausted, unfocused eyes looked down at me with a fading gaze.
Beautiful.
“You can do more, right?”
“Yes...”
