Chapter 7: The Female Friend Who Never Saw Me as a Man Teases Me Playfully...
Thud! Thud! Thud! Bundles of crisp fifty-thousand-won bills started materializing one by one, dropping to the floor.
Five stacks of fifty-thousand-won notes, plus one mixed bundle of ten-thousand- and one-thousand-won bills. Four of the fifty-thousand stacks looked like full hundreds, while one was barely half that. No need to count—I knew it added up to exactly 21,723,000 won.
Uh... is this a money rain? Yeah, right?
I reached out and touched the stacks of bills on the floor over and over, just to make sure.
Okay... so this is... money from selling Eun-hee off...
Of course, anyone watching the video would never peg the woman in it as Eun-hee, but I knew damn well it was footage of her and me fucking.
A twinge of conscience! And cash...
"Thanks."
No one in the world would ever know it was her anyway. If it keeps nagging at me, I can always treat her to a big meal later. Like, 10% of it? That'd cover her actress guarantee...
Ah! Wait a sec! What? Guarantee?
That's right—earlier during settlement, it mentioned something about guarantee.
Guarantee means the actress's pay... and the only performers in the video are me and Eun-hee... Mine wouldn't be it, so...
Eun-hee? Or some woman who just looks like her but isn't?
As if to clear up my confusion, another notification popped up.
After AV Making ends, you must pay the guarantee to the casted actress.
"So the casted actress means Eun-hee, right?"
Guarantee payment required for actress Kim Eun-hee from AVM-001.
Whoa... so yeah, this money's for Eun-hee after all.
The AV Master is responsible for paying guarantees to casted actresses.
Actress guarantees vary by rank and gender.
Huh? So guarantees aren't all the same.
"What's rank mean?"
No need to ask about gender...
Actress ranks are divided into five categories:
1. Star Actress - Limited to those with top-tier beauty capable of succeeding as celebrities. Minimum guarantee: 20 million won.
2. Exclusive Actress - A select few elite actresses. Beauty universally acknowledged as stunning. Minimum guarantee: 10 million won.
3. Project Group Actress - Actresses with solid looks. The kind often called pretty. Minimum guarantee: 5 million won.
4. Project Actress - Actresses with inoffensive appearances. Can be seen as pretty depending on taste; often called cute. Guarantee: 1-5 million won.
5. Amateur Actress - Everyday looks. Familiar, girl-next-door types. Guarantee: 500,000-2 million won.
- Debut works receive 50%-1,000% bonuses on base guarantees.
- Genre and difficulty may add further bonuses.
- Male actor guarantees: 300,000-2 million won.
Male actors? Whatever, not interested.
So if Eun-hee's guarantee is 10 million, factoring in debut bonus, she's around project group level. Not a knockout beauty, but everyone calls her pretty, so it fits.
Then a new notification kicked in.
Paying actress guarantee.
Select payment method:
1. Named
2. Anonymous
- Named: Transfer in AV Master's name or hand-deliver.
- Anonymous: Paid via special undetectable method.
"Hmm..."
Tricky choice. Can I think on it longer?
How long do I have anyway? Can't stall forever...
Actress guarantee must be paid within 10 days after AV Making ends.
Damn, a week's already gone. If I gotta pay her anyway, no point delaying.
I picked right away. "Named transfer, then."
No reason to hide my name if I'm giving her money. Handing it over in person would be awkward, though. Didn't wanna see her for a bit.
Named transfer selected.
Transfer complete.
Service ain't bad. No need to do it myself.
A few minutes later, my phone rang.
"What the hell is this?"
Eun-hee's voice hit me aggressively, no hello.
"Huh?"
"What's with this money, you crazy bastard?!"
"Ah! That?"
Said it was a transfer, and it's already there. Fast as hell.
"You didn't do this 'cause of that thing, right?"
"That thing? What thing?"
I played dumb, pretending not to know.
"Ugh... whatever. Explain this."
She seemed uncomfortable dredging up our slip-up(?) too.
"Got some windfall cash."
"Windfall?"
"Yeah. Hold on."
I snapped a quick pic of the fifty-thousand stack on the floor and messaged it to her.
"Whoa? What's this? You hit the lotto or something?"
"You ever see me gamble?"
"True... then what?"
"Bought some stocks with a bonus a while back. They spiked hard, so I cashed out before they tank again. Made me think of you. Didn't you say you needed money lately?"
"..."
She went quiet for a bit.
"So you're lending it? You should've said something first."
"What lending between friends? It's yours—spend it."
Money I had to give anyway. Might as well take credit.
"No way. Can't just take this much cash like that. If you insist, I'll pay it back later..."
"Shut up. Let's just split it. I don't lend to friends like that."
I had to give her this money outright. No loans! She had to accept it flat-out. Otherwise, how could I keep doing this AV Master gig?
"...Yeong-woong."
Her voice softened, a little teary. That tough tone melting away yanked me right back to that day.
Imagining her pinned under me, begging in that frail voice—my dick twitched to life.
"Suddenly got money, and you popped into my head. Wouldn't you do the same? Loyalty! You know?"
She loves the word "loyalty."
"You rascal. You get it! I've got loyalty too."
Her voice snapped back to normal.
But now that I'd pictured her naked once, hearing her speak just ramped up my arousal more and more.
Keep this up, and I'd crave fucking her again.
Well... not the worst idea. Fuck Eun-hee again, shoot the next vid... rake in more cash, good for her too...
Brain's a mess. No! Deep down, a warning screamed: don't get tangled with her like that again.
One slip, and it'd turn into a full-blown relationship. But as AV Master, I'd be bedding tons of women...
Yeah. Hooking up with Eun-hee again screamed disaster.
"All good? Anyway, it's yours—use it where you need. I'm busy now."
I wanted to end the call quick. Her voice was tempting me to meet up, and I wasn't sure I'd say no to jumping back in bed.
"Thanks anyway."
She sounded genuinely touched. Ten million's no joke. Her yoga studio had been hemorrhaging cash for months with no profits—that'd help big time.
After hanging up, I sank back into thought.
21.7 million won... Another AV Making, and I'd score like this again? Tempting as hell.
But that means I need an actress... and a Casting Card.
The first one I got? Used up.
Casting Card! That's what I need...
Wonder if a guide pops up now?
Sure enough, as soon as I started pondering, it appeared. I'm getting the hang of this.
To acquire more cards, purchase a Card Pack containing various types.
Each pack guarantees at least one Casting Card among three cards.
Card Pack price: 10 million won.
"Ten million?"
First thought: that's steep. But nah—settlement netted over 20 million. To repeat that, I need another video, which needs a Casting Card.
If there was a chance of zero Casting Cards in three, it'd suck. But guaranteed at least one? No loss.
Could even be two or three. Plus, curiosity about Setting and Active cards.
I'd already felt their power with Eun-hee. Heh heh... sounds good.
"I'll buy a card pack."
Words barely out, two bundles vanished from the pile. In their place: a real-deal card pack, like from a trading game.
I grabbed it, tore open the packaging. What cards would I get?
Started with the big one: Casting Card.
- Casted actress gains pleasure from being humiliated by the AV Master.
- Humiliation pleasure is independent of natural sexual desire.
- Effective via humiliating dynamics, shameful situations, non-consensual acts, pride destruction, blackmail, etc.
- Pleasure scales with the intensity of humiliation and shame felt.
Whoa! Fucking awesome! This is straight out of adult vids—impossible in real life.
No woman truly gets off on being forced. Men neither. Imagine some hag twice my age, 50kg heavier, forcing herself on me? Horrifying.
Sure, weirdos exist among billions. But in porn? Non-con to ecstasy is a classic trope that always sells.
And now it's real for me? Hell yeah.
- AV Master is immune to all STDs during sexual activity.
Yeah... With this power, I'll be banging plenty of women. Multiple partners mean infection risk, even with condoms.
Immunity is a godsend.
Finally, the Active Card.
- Prevents pregnancy via sexual intercourse.
Warning! Deactivating results in very high pregnancy risk.
Perfect. Total control over knocking someone up—no more worries with women.
All three cards are keepers. Ten million well spent. I'd buy another if I could.
But the remaining ten mil's off-limits. Gotta cover next actress's guarantee.
I could dip into my savings if desperate, but nah. Don't fully trust this AV Master thing yet.
Time to hunt a second leading lady and test it out. Wonder if it'll shower me in cash again...
Who among the women around me? Eun-hee again? Nah, tabled that.
Humiliating her? Picturing a defiant Eun-hee toyed with at my whim... damn, that got me hard.
No! Bad idea! Can't without wrecking our friendship for good.
Gotta think of someone else.
