Chapter Title: The One Who Laughs Last...(8)

Oddly enough, it put my mind at ease.
Go Min-cheol's reaction like that...
Was basically him admitting out of his own mouth that he was hiding something from me.
'How about a little game of hide-and-seek?'
Hide real good—don't let even a single hair show.
If I catch you, I'll remind you exactly why you've been so twitchy around me lately. It's been a while.
'I was planning to refresh that memory soon anyway.'
I'd been putting it off, making excuses about being busy with all sorts of thoughts.
Now it was really time to pay Go Min-cheol a visit.
'Ah, it's been so long since I last tasted him... kinda looking forward to it a little.'
To be honest, Go Min-cheol wasn't a guy with particularly delicious essence.
He was old, frail as hell, and even his dick was on the soft side.
But even Go Min-cheol had his own unique flavor.
Like fermented skate, maybe?
Sometimes that hits just right as a delicacy.
"Unnie, unnie. Where are you going?"
"...Huh?"
I nearly jumped.
I'd been trying to slip away quietly to track down Go Min-cheol.
And here Kang Chae-rin caught me like a ghost, making my stealth look ridiculous.
"Yeah... just stepping out for a bit of personal business."
"Personal business...?"
"Yeah."
I brushed it off vaguely.
Kang Chae-rin stared at me with her big round eyes.
Just as cold sweat started trickling down my back...
"...Okay. I don't want to make things hard for you, Hyun-ah unnie. I won't ask anymore. But hug me one more time instead."
"Sure, thanks, Chae-rin."
At this point, it felt like Kang Chae-rin had turned it into a habit.
Burying her face in my chest like that.
"And can you rub your lips on my crown?"
"Huh? Oh, uh, of course."
If anything, the habit seemed to be getting worse instead of better... but whatever, right?
It wasn't a tough request anyway.
So I pulled Kang Chae-rin into my chest and gently rubbed my lips against her pretty crown like a kiss.
'Idols even smell good from the top of their heads.'
Mwah.
"Hehe, so good, so good. Mmm, burying myself in unnie's chest like this... nothing cozier in the world."
"You like unnie's chest that much?"
"Yeah! I hope the day comes soon when we can sleep under the same roof."
"Once we switch dorms, let's do it."
"Yeah!"
I wasn't currently sharing a dorm with Luminous.
More precisely, I was commuting from my old one-room apartment.
The dorm where Kang Chae-rin and the others stayed was already cramped and rundown as it was. Adding me would just make it even more uncomfortable.
'Plus, my lease still has time left anyway.'
Mwah.
Only after giving her crown one more deep kiss did I manage to slip away from the members and manager unnoticed.
"Unnie, I'm heading out then."
"Yeah, fighting."
As I wandered around alone searching for Go Min-cheol, I thought to myself.
'My chest must be something else if even Kang Chae-rin is this hooked.'
Go Min-cheol wouldn't stand a chance either.
Maybe I'd give him a paizuri with my tits today?
Lost in those thoughts as I diligently hunted for Go Min-cheol...
Not a single hair of him in sight. Shockingly well-hidden.
'This bastard's really committed to hiding.'
Blindly wandering wasn't cutting it.
Maybe ask someone else...
Screeech!
"...Oh, Hyun-ah. Hey."
That's when it happened.
I locked eyes with a woman cautiously emerging from the emergency stairs.
'She just had sex, plain as day.'
Body drenched in sweat.
Face flushed like she'd been heated up.
Even fussing with her skirt hem to hide the disarray.
Back when I was a guy, I wouldn't have picked up on these little details.
Was it because I'd become a woman?
Or because I'd been having sex nonstop lately?
Either way, I could now spot if someone had just fucked at a glance.
'So, who is she?'
She knew me and jumped straight to casual speech, so definitely an employee here.
Just which team, though?
"Ah... you don't recognize me, huh? I did pop in briefly on evaluation day, even though I vanished quick after... "
"Kinda familiar face-wise... but could you remind me properly? I'll make sure to remember this time."
"Of course. I'm Im Chun-hee, manager of the marketing department."
Even now, Im Chun-hee kept frantically straightening her clothes, terrified I'd notice she'd just had sex.
Probably went at it hard in the stairwell.
This company... watching it run was just pure awe-inspiring.
Totally a set for some trashy drama.
'Wonder who she fucked. Dying to know.'
And that manager title... still didn't sit right no matter how many times I heard it.
Why the hell does an entertainment agency have managers like that popping up?
"Got it. Marketing department manager... memorized."
Memorized her as the bitch who fucks in stairwells.
Did this company land marketing deals with their bodies?
"Hehe, heard you got a manager now. Debut might not be far off. If you do, we'll be seeing a lot of each other."
"Sounds good. Looking forward to it then."
That said,
I didn't trust her one bit. Felt uneasy.
What if she got caught whoring herself out for marketing and dragged us down with her?
'Ah, this must be exactly how Han Nam-do feels looking at me.'
Guess you really gotta experience shit yourself to get it.
I always thought Han Nam-do was overreacting.
Now I see why.
'Not that I have any room to talk... but if you're gonna fuck somewhere, at least don't get caught.'
Im Chun-hee could sell her body wherever.
Fuck whoever she wanted.
I knew better than anyone how good sex felt and what a weapon a woman's body was.
Just don't get caught.
Don't get caught...
"So, what brings you here? Trainees don't usually wander this way, haha."
"......"
Speak of the devil.
I was about to bail fast,
But the stairwell slut—no, Manager Im Chun-hee wouldn't let me go.
'I'm not gonna blab about your fuckfest, so lemme get on with my day?'
...I almost said that,
But then it hit me she was the same rank as Go Min-cheol, so I asked.
"Oh, actually looking for Manager Go. Can't find him anywhere. Even texted, no reply."
"Hmm, Go Min-cheol, huh?"
Okay, same rank, got it.
But that attitude was straight-up condescending.
Anyone'd think she was older than him. She looked younger, though.
"Ha, that guy's been slacking off forever, just gaming the system. Classic loudmouth with no substance. Know what I mean?"
"......"
She was badmouthing him straight to a trainee's face.
Purem Entertainment really was legendary.
Top-tier agency full of top-tier trash employees.
Had to be the shittiest company ever.
'What kind of monsters crawl out of a hellhole like this as world stars?'
They'd probably thrive naked in the Sahara.
"Hyun-ah, you know what?"
"What?"
Im Chun-hee was getting all excited dishing on Go Min-cheol.
"He used to outrank me originally? When he was manager, I was fresh off assistant."
"......"
"But I rocketed up, overtook him, and now I'm even more recognized in the company. Hehe. Pathetic perv bastard. Dickless loser."
Im Chun-hee, who'd been dropping "bastard" left and right, belatedly cleared her throat to act proper.
Too late, you psycho bitch.
'At least I'll never be bored working here.'
Not just the trainees.
Every damn employee was a villain through and through.
If you partied with them in a tower, you'd watch them closer than the monsters.
What a spectacle.
"Anyway, I know all his prime hiding spots. Want unnie to tell you?"
"For real?"
"Aigoo, you're adorable. Of course. Obvious spots for that loser. He'll be in one for sure."
Then Im Chun-hee listed off spots in the building one by one.
Rooftop motor room, 4th-floor emergency stairs, 3rd conference room used as storage, inside the 1st-floor electrical room, underground parking depths, lockable personal nap rooms...
"......"
Listening made me a bit uneasy.
How the hell did she know all these spots?
"That's all I got. Might be more if you look. But Go Min-cheol's gotta be in one. Helpful?"
"Totally. Thanks so much."
"Psh, this much is nothing. Lately, he freaks just hearing your name. Feels so damn good watching."
She cackled happily, scanning me up and down.
"Seriously, your body's insane even on second look. Even another woman can't help but admire. So yeah, be careful, Hyun-ah."
"Careful how?"
"This company's crawling with all kinds of crazy pervs. If anyone tries anything funny, run to unnie. Got it? I'm solid on that front."
"Thanks."
I bowed and thought,
Aren't you one of those pervs too?
At the same time,
'Not like I'm any different.'
Thinking about it, this company suited me perfectly.
"Oh man, time flies... Gotta get back to work. You nail your schedule, prep well for debut, and let's make it big together later."
"Yes, unnie... Whoa, I mean, Manager."
"Haha, just unnie when it's us. Others calling me that bugs me... but you're older-ish and so pretty, doesn't feel bad. See ya."
"Take care."
Watching Im Chun-hee's plump ass sway as she walked away, I thought,
Bet she'll be off spreading her legs for PDs together later under "marketing."
'In this company? Not impossible. Chills.'
Anyway, that unexpected encounter narrowed down Go Min-cheol's location.
Lucky? Kinda iffy, but I'd check her list one by one.
First spot I'd pick if I were him...
'In this sweltering heat, one place he'd never go.'
The rooftop motor room.
Loud machines humming, relentless direct sunlight trapping unbearable heat.
"Haaaang, Sung-il... harder, ngh! I'm dying. Haaang, fuck me harder!"
"Fucking slut, squeeze that pussy tighter. Gonna cum soon."
"Hnnnngh!"
...Someone beat me there.
Sung-il... name rings a bell, but can't place it.
"......"
I savored the sounds from the motor room for a bit, then bailed quietly—the heat was too much.
Muttering under my breath as I went.
"Is this a company or the Serengeti...?"
