Entertaining the Psycho Twins (1)
"Ga-eun, you know the Song sisters, right? They called saying they're coming today and specifically naming you and Hyeonji, so get ready. You can handle it, yeah?"
"Yesss..."
Su-jin unnie delivered today's schedule with a hint of worry in her voice.
Sigh, of all days, on Hyeonji's first day at work...
Was it sheer bad luck, or the cunning scheme of those devious twins? On the day I was no longer First's baby girl, the VIP customers I least wanted to see had to show up.
The Song sisters—identical twins in looks and personality—were, without a doubt, among the VIPs that First's girls hated entertaining the most.
At least Lee Seo-yoon doesn't humiliate you...
And now they wanted a newbie and me to handle them alone...
Haa, no wonder things have been too quiet lately.
"What's wrong, sunbae? Are they really that scary?"
Hyeonji, older than me but stiff with newbie nerves, looked visibly tense. It reminded me of my own rookie days, so I took her hand firmly and spoke in the softest voice I could muster.
"Hyeonji, you said this is your first time doing anything like this, right?"
"Y-yes... I need the money for my little sister's tuition—"
"Stop, that's enough. Don't bring that up again."
How was she exactly like me back then...? And unlike me—who'd been pre-designated an ace and drilled relentlessly—Hyeonji seemed even more wrecked.
Ha, what the hell am I supposed to do...
No matter how you sliced it, that level of inexperience wouldn't last five minutes with the Song sisters...
"Hyeonji, do you know how much you can make in one day here?"
"Eh? Why bring that up all of a sudden..."
"The Song sisters are elite hunters even in the Two Moon Guild. So today, conservatively speaking, you can expect at least ten million won each."
Come to think of it, the Song sisters were part of Lee Seo-yoon's family guild. Seo-yoon was independent, so no real connection between them, but still.
"T-ten million won? Gasp... That's a whole year's tuition in one day..."
Hyeonji reacted like she'd been hit with a cultural shock.
Yeah, nothing motivates like cold hard cash.
"So whatever the Song sisters tell you to do today, just do it."
"W-whatever they say? Th-then what kind of stuff do they—"
"I don't know either. What you need to know is this: unless our lives are in danger, no one's coming to save us. Got it?"
"Y-yes... But 'do whatever they say' exactly means...?"
"Exactly that. Today, forget about the customer's mood—just turn into an emotionless doll. It'll be easier for you that way."
"Otherwise, you won't last five minutes in that room. And if you really can't take it, don't say a word—just run."
"Hello! Nice to see you again, ladies. I hope you've been well?"
"Hey, Jeong Ga-eun, if we were doing fine, we wouldn't be here seeing your sorry ass. Skip the greetings—change into this."
Right from the start, the younger twin shoved clothes at me while throwing a tantrum. It was a puppy cosplay outfit with the front completely open.
"Th-this... Y-you have to leave outfits like this at the rental shop first for Madam's approval—"
"Ha! Hey, Jeong Ga-eun. Is this enough?"
The older twin pulled out an envelope of cash with a pissed-off glare.
That's gotta be fifty bills. Two hundred fifty each... and since they're women, this level of exposure should be fine...
"Heehee... Should I change into it right now?"
"Ha, you pathetic bitch. Don't you have any pride?"
Hearing the highest praise a girl here could get, I grabbed the still-frozen Hyeonji beside me and hurried out to change.
I didn't bother comforting Hyeonji. Better for her to stay soul-less and doll-like than try to snap out of it.
"Hyeonji, arms out. Good. Pull your hair back and hold it—I’ll put your collar on. There, let's go."
More seasoning for nudity than actual clothes, we waited until the hallway was clear, then dashed back into the room.
"Let me greet you properly again! I'm 22-year-old Jeong Ga-eun, and... Hyeonji, say hi..."
"Uh... I-I'm 24—"
"Who's that?"
""Huh?"""
"You, black hair— you're Kkami. Yellow hair next to her— you're Cheese. Got it?"
"Yesss..."
"What? 'Yes'? Gonna pull yourself together or not?"
"Uh, uhm... W-woof?"
"Pfft, see? Ga-eun's got talent. Sis, good pick, right?"
"With something that lame? Hey, you two—see that bowl? Pour your drinks in it."
Following her finger, I spotted a dog bowl.
"H-heek..."
Hyeonji, who'd been standing there dazed, started sniffling at the sight.
Couldn't just coddle her, so I grabbed one arm and dragged her over.
"Puhaha! Cheese, you're not gonna cry over something this lame, right?"
Before Hyeonji could actually break down, I snatched a bottle and poured into the dog bowl.
Glug glug glug—
"Woof woof!"
"Yeah, Kkami? What's up?"
"Grrr... woof woof!"
"Kkami's thirsty? Go on, drink up then."
Lick lick—
"What's Cheese doing? Not thirsty?"
"I-I can't do th—"
"Grrr... woof! Woof!"
The rest was obvious, so I bared my teeth at Hyeonji like a dog attacking another.
Even if she really couldn't, better to walk out on her own two feet than react like that. Giving VIPs attitude usually ended worse than just getting fired from First.
Just get out of this room, Hyeonji...
I barked fiercely at her with pleading eyes, and Hyeonji's mental state shattered again, freezing solid.
Should I just tell her to open her mouth...
If I barked her out like a dog chase, they might laugh it off as entertainment. But if I spoke up and sent her away, the room's vibe would crash instantly.
That's when the older one approached, petting my head.
"Definitely... she's got it. What do you say, Kkami? Wanna live at sis's place?"
"Whine... woof..."
"Why not? We live real good."
"Sis, she's already playing dog for Lee Seo-yoon."
"Hey! Don't say th—"
A chill shot through my entire body.
How the fuck do these bitches know that?
I hadn't exactly hidden it with blood and sweat, but considering Lee Seo-yoon's public image, I'd never told a soul. Unless it was the Madam, Seo-yoon wouldn't blab either...
Me visiting her house? Easy to spot. But calling it 'dog duty' meant they had a rough idea of our relationship.
Ah, Two Moon Guild...
Made sense thinking of their obsessive fixation on Seo-yoon. The twins were the guild's top tracking hunters, after all...
Gotta tell Seo-yoon the second I get home. Hyeonji... luckily didn't hear?
It was loud enough, but she still looked spaced out, so probably not.
Whew, whatever—it's Two Moon Guild. They'd just screw themselves spilling it.
The older one, looking uneasy, kept petting my head.
"Whew... nice hair, Kkami. Does your owner wash it for you often?"
"Wh-whine..."
"So a mutt like you washes it herself?"
Unsure how to respond, I glanced at her and nodded shyly.
"Eup—! Hup! Hngghk..."
Instantly, my hair was yanked back, slamming my face into the booze-filled dog bowl.
"Oops? Meant to wash your hair but... slipped."
They're extra vicious today...
"Yelp..."
"Sis! We said we'd do that later!"
"Hold on. Kkami, why the look? Needs training?"
"Whine, nggh..."
"Won't keep those eyes open nice? Gotta wipe 'em then?"
"Grrrng... woof! Woof!"
I desperately wagged my ass, rubbing my head against her palm.
"Kkami's good enough... Cheese? Come here."
Hyeonji didn't budge.
"Cheese? Hmm, no need for disobedient pups..."
"Sis, send her out in that outfit to buy condoms?"
"Oh? Ooh, where'd that genius idea come from? Love it."
"Hiiik!"
"Fuck, what mutt in the world whines like that."
Hyeonji started trembling like a real dog at those words.
This is dangerous... no choice.
Resolved to take the scolding and tell her to leave— the younger twin stood, grabbing Hyeonji's collar.
"I'll be right back, sis. That'll snap her out of it."
This is bad for real...
Until now, she could've bolted on two feet. But collared? No escape.
Haa, me doing this shit...
Thinking of it as saving a life, I approached the younger one, whining pitifully.
"Whiiiine... ng, ng..."
"Why's our good-girl Kkami acting up? Wanna come too?"
"Grrng... woof!"
"Hmm... not sure what that's about."
Haa...
No more ideas, so I lifted one leg and humped the air.
"Whiiiine... whine..."
"Aha? Gotta pee?"
"Woof, woof!"
This is saving a life... not embarrassing at all...
And they'd make me do it eventually anyway—might as well preempt.
"Sis, get the pee pad."
"Where the hell we got that?"
"That bucket there."
She pointed to an ice-filled bucket.
"Grrr..."
"What's wrong, Kkami? Hate that?"
"Woof!"
"Was gonna make you lick up any spills... still?"
Hyeonji's face drained pale at that, and she finally bolted from the room.
Now it was just me, entertaining these psycho twin bitches alone.
