At first glance, she looked to be around thirty.
At best, I could see her as twenty-eight.
She did look quite young for her age, but was it because of that confidence?
How could she, from any angle, think of hitting on a guy who was clearly in his early twenties?
“I can’t say I’ll give you a discount, but I can guarantee a clean, hassle-free legal process with absolutely no frustrations.”
“I guess I’ll have to pray I never have a reason to contact you, then.”
“You don’t only see a lawyer for bad things, you know. My husband runs a business, and he needs a lawyer for non-litigation matters far more often.”
Husband?
Her romantic interest in me is S-rank, and she’s talking about her husband now?
Does this mean she’s not hitting on me?
What is this? I’m confused.
This was so baffling, I didn’t know how to interpret it.
“I understand. I hope if I do have to contact you, it’s for something good.”
Something felt off.
[Interest Level refers to romantic interest.] See? The status window’s explanation was crystal clear.
That woman had an S-rank romantic interest in me, which meant she was 100% trying to make a move.
But she brought up her husband first.
I didn’t get it.
For now, I went out to pick up Jung Hye-na.
I couldn’t exactly ask her why an S-rank, married woman was acting this way.
So I asked for her opinion in a more roundabout way.
“What do you think is going on?”
“Well, it’s an expensive gym, right? And you’re incredibly handsome, Oppa. Maybe she thinks you’re a celebrity and is trying to secure you as a client?”
Since I couldn’t tell her what I knew from the status window, Jung Hye-na gave a perfectly sensible answer.
“Was everything okay at work today?”
“My legs were trembling so much I could barely walk. It was tough. Everyone was really worried.”
“What did you tell them?”
“I just said I went hiking.”
Now that she mentioned it, her legs were still shaking.
I couldn’t just watch, so I gave Jung Hye-na a piggyback ride.
“People are staring. It’s embarrassing.”
“So what? I’m just carrying you because you’re in pain and can’t walk.”
The soft feeling of her chest against my back was pleasant.
As was the shy breath I could feel by my ear.
I groped her butt with both hands as I walked cheerfully toward home.
As soon as we got home, I stripped her naked and set up the camera.
“This position is called ‘Splitting the Chopsticks.’ You just need to lie down with your legs together in a straight line.”
“Oh, like this?”
“Yeah. Then I wrap my legs around the outside of your thighs like this and put my cock inside.”
Because the thrusting was vertical, the up-and-down sliding motion of the penis directly stimulated the clitoris.
This allowed the woman to reach a faster, stronger, and more intense orgasm.
The penetration wasn’t deep, so the pleasure I felt was less than in missionary, but...
Since her leg muscles were strained, we’d have to do it this way for a while.
The penetration was a bit shallow.
But in return, our entire bodies were pressed together, allowing me to enjoy the maximum surface area of her smooth skin.
“You won’t be able to go to the gym tomorrow morning, right?”
“No, I can’t...”
“Then let’s have sex until 2 AM and go to sleep.”
“Okay...”
We had sex for about two hours without a break, ate a meal, and then had sex again until 2 AM.
Hye-na had been pushing herself hard since early Saturday morning.
So today, I finished with just fifteen rounds of finishing inside her.
[Jung Hye-na] [My Ejaculations (Outside): 4] [My Ejaculations (Oral): 183] [My Ejaculations (Vaginal): 335] [Coins: 335] ◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ Couldn’t skip our morning sex, of course.
[My Ejaculations (Vaginal): 340] [Coins: 340] Since it was morning, I just came inside her five times before heading to work.
Perhaps because I’d had her lie with her legs together, Hye-na’s leg cramps were gone.
I arrived at the cafe, and as usual, the place was packed.
The moment I stood behind the counter, women flocked over, forming a line to order.
I took their orders as kindly as I could.
Then, thirty minutes after opening.
The man in his thirties from yesterday came back.
“I’d like to place the same order as yesterday.”
“Understood. Could you please tell me the delivery time and location first?”
“By the way, I’m buying so much. Isn’t there something extra for me?”
“I’ll make sure to include even more complimentary items than yesterday.”
I’d already thrown in dozens of extra cakes, macarons, and chocolates. That couldn’t be what he meant.
Since I’d played dumb and dodged the question, he’d probably say what he really wanted now.
“How about this instead? Can’t one of your employees deliver it personally? It would really liven up the atmosphere on set if a handsome staff member handed everything out.”
“I’m sorry, but I have a sun allergy, so I tend to avoid outdoor activities. If this is about me, you can cancel the order.”
I was intentionally a little firm.
I’ve dealt with obsessive women many times before, and I know you have to shut it down early to avoid trouble.
Lately, I’m starting to understand why Chang-woo became such an asshole.
I’m slowly grasping the mechanics of his corruption...
Not that I have any intention of following in his footsteps.
“Ah, you have a sun allergy. In that case, please just proceed with the order as is.”
“Thank you.”
“Could you spare just ten minutes right now? There’s something important I need to discuss.”
I paused ringing up the order on the POS system.
The man in the suit waited for my reaction, his expression unchanged.
He’d be good at poker.
“Then I’ll hear what you have to say first and help you with the payment afterward.”
“No, please place the order first.”
“I’ll hear you out first. This way, please.”
He was trying to gain the upper hand in this psychological game by dangling a 20 million won sale.
Didn’t this man think I was just a simple employee?
He wouldn’t know I got 40% of the profits.
Anyway, I didn’t want to deal with a “How dare you refuse my offer after I spent another 20 million won?” reaction.
I led the man to the table behind the counter, the one we used for our own meals.
“Go ahead.”
“I’m going to make you a star.”
“...”
For a moment, I was dumbfounded.
Where on earth was that line from? What era?
It was a line I remembered seeing a lot in dramas when I was a kid.
But it was definitely effective.
Even I, who had no interest in becoming a celebrity, felt a sudden sense of breakthrough.
I guess the classics never die, huh?
“Mr. Lee Chang-woo, you have what it takes to be a star.
No, you’re overflowing with it. I’m certain.
At the very least, you can become the biggest top star in our country.
With just a little effort, you could become an Asian star.
And if luck is on your side, you could even become a world star.”
An indifferent expression, but a voice brimming with powerful conviction.
Even I was tempted for a moment. An aspiring celebrity would fall for it instantly.
“My name is Woo Jae-young, and I’m a team lead at JBM Entertainment. Top actors like Han Ju-hee and Song Ga-yeon are with our agency.”
I’d never heard of the company.
Then again, I didn’t really know the names of any agencies.
But the actors he mentioned were famous enough for even me to know.
“We also produced top idol groups like POA, Nespanya, and Wissum. Have you perhaps heard of any of these names?”
“Yes.”
So it was a big company, one that even I knew the idol groups of.
The man in the suit, Woo Jae-young, smiled confidently.
“And although we didn’t debut them, the girl group Kerokshin is also currently under our agency.”
Ah, I remembered now...
The girl group Kerokshin. The undisputed number one girl group in the country.
A perfect team whose status as the strongest girl group no one could deny.
How did I know them so well?
The first day I woke up as the new Chang-woo.
The comments on Jung Hye-na’s fancam video.
— Anonymous [Hye-na was originally in the debut lineup for Kerokshin, but her life got ruined when she was screwed over by some shitty merger and acquisitionㅠㅠ It's such a waste of talent looking back] — Anonymous [How can she do anything when you debut a top 10 Challenger-tier talent with a bunch of Grandmasters?] — Anonymous [Shouldn't a true Challenger be able to grab four Grandmasters by the scruff of their necks and carry them to success?] — Anonymous [Fuck off, you troll] Because those comments still lingered in my mind.
Woo Jae-young seemed to have misinterpreted my reaction.
“Are you perhaps a fan of Kerokshin? If you tell me your favorite member, I can set up a video call with them for you right here, right now.”
“Right here, right now?”
“Yes. Shall I?”
Seeing him take out his phone, it looked like he wasn’t bluffing.
“To be honest, I don’t know anything about agencies, so this is the first time I’m hearing your company’s name. But I’m genuinely surprised to hear you’re Kerokshin’s agency.”
“Haha, I’m honored.”
“I’ve always been grateful to you for debuting Kerokshin.”
“We didn’t debut them. They were originally with another label, and they naturally became part of our company through a merger.”
I meant it when I said I was grateful.
Because things got tangled up in that process, Jung Hye-na ended up as the sole breadwinner for a small-agency idol group for several years before retiring.
And thanks to that, I was able to meet her.
What if Jung Hye-na were still a member of Kerokshin?
Even the original Chang-woo would have found it difficult to form a connection with her.
A major corporation’s management team would have kept her under tight control.
“Thank you for loving our Kerokshin girls so much. If you join our agency, you can meet the Kerokshin members easily anytime you want.”
I wasn’t interested in Kerokshin, but would that really happen?
An agency that was extremely wary of its male and female idols getting involved with each other?
For a totem, I’d been out of the customers’ sight for too long.
Time to get up.
“I have no interest in the entertainment industry. I’m 500% satisfied with my current life. I’m sorry, but there’s no chance I’ll be entering showbiz.”
I said, holding out his card to him.
The meaning was clear: don’t waste your money on a pointless order and go home.
Woo Jae-young’s expression didn’t change.
Without even blinking, he smiled brightly and pushed the card back toward me.
“We couldn’t get a coffee truck today, so we have to order delivery anyway. This is a separate matter, so please don’t feel burdened and just process the payment.”
I definitely gave him two chances not to waste his money.
You’re the one who kicked them away.
So, I’d gladly swipe your card.
As I returned to the POS and began mercilessly ringing up the items, the owner’s face lit up as he asked.
“What happened? What did you guys talk about?”
“The usual you-know-what. I turned him down. But he still wants to buy. So, I guess I have to ring it up.”
“Of course. You absolutely have to.”
