Chapter 260: Bastard (2)
After her classes ended for the day.
Shin Yu-jeong skipped her gym session—something she never missed, rain or shine—and headed to a bar on the nearby university street.
“Yu-jeong, over here.”
The moment she stepped inside, Jo Yun-kyung waved at her.
Carrying a tangled mess of emotions, she sat down across from her friend. Without a word, she grabbed a cold bottle of soju and started chugging it.
Gulp… Gulp…!
“Oh my.”
Jo Yun-kyung’s eyes widened as she stared, seeing this side of her for the first time.
‘What’s gotten into her?’
The sight of Yu-jeong, who always warned against heavy drinking because it was bad for her growth, downing a bottle of soju was a novel kind of shock.
“Pah…!”
Shin Yu-jeong slammed the bottle down and roughly wiped her mouth.
Normally, she would have felt guilty, but not today.
A problem so immense that it made everything else seem trivial was currently scrambling her thoughts.
“Yu-jeong, is something wrong?”
“……”
She couldn’t bring herself to answer her friend’s worried question.
The reason she had come here, and specifically sought out Jo Yun-kyung, was simple.
It was to determine which of them—Kim Do-jin or herself—was the crazy one.
‘That crazy bastard.’
Of course, she was convinced that she was the sane one and Kim Do-jin was the lunatic.
‘I could understand everything else.’
All the countless sex fantasies he’d laid out.
She could accept them all.
Any kind of sex with him would be ecstatic, no matter what it was.
But there was just one thing.
‘A threesome… fucking hell.’
A threesome.
An act where three people engage in sex, which is typically enjoyed by two.
In other words, it was a preference she could never satisfy on her own.
What he wanted was a threesome with two women and one man, which meant another woman was needed.
‘What kind of crazy bitch would allow that?’
How could any woman in her right mind tolerate her man fucking some other woman’s hole?
Suppressing the urge to slap Kim Do-jin hard across the face, she had returned home. With a troubled mind, she lay in bed and searched for information on threesomes.
What she found on the screen left her in a state of profound shock.
‘This many men want to try a threesome?’
Contrary to social norms, a lot of men wanted to have a threesome.
So many, in fact, that it seemed it should be recognized as a legitimate preference or fantasy.
The only difference was that very few of them ever actually made it happen.
And.
‘The number of crazy bastards who openly admit it is even smaller.’
She realized once again that Kim Do-jin was a lunatic of the highest order, a minority within a minority.
“Yu-jeong, is it something you can’t talk about?”
At the repeated question, Shin Yu-jeong stared at Jo Yun-kyung, her complicated feelings plain in her eyes.
If she followed her gut, she would break up with him without a second thought.
Of course, it wasn’t like they were officially dating anyway.
But making that decision wasn’t easy.
‘This is so fucked up.’
She was already in too deep.
She had fallen for him completely, not just physically, but mentally as well.
Even now, if he just called off the threesome, she felt like she would burn up with desire and want to have sex with him.
“Yu-jeong?”
“Ah.”
Jo Yun-kyung’s voice snapped her back to reality.
The reason she’d wanted to see her was to find an answer to this dilemma.
She thought that Yun-kyung, who had more experience with men, might be able to offer some advice.
The only problem was…
‘How do I even bring this up?’
How could she possibly ask what to do when the guy she liked wanted to have a threesome?
After a long moment of deliberation, she resorted to the classic move.
“Hey, uh… I have this friend who’s having boy trouble.”
“Ah… a friend.”
Pretending it was about a friend.
It was a trick so overused that everyone knew it was about the speaker herself, but there was only one reason people still used it.
“Right. So what’s your friend’s problem?”
It was a way of asking the listener to play along.
That was all it was good for now.
“My friend’s boyfriend… this guy, let’s call him A… is apparently a bit of a… pervert.”
“A pervert…?”
“Yeah. He said he wants to try a, uh, threesome.”
“Heh… is that so?”
A faint smile appeared on Jo Yun-kyung’s lips.
‘So he finally told her.’
It seemed that the pervert ‘A’ she was talking about, Kim Do-jin, had finally confessed to Shin Yu-jeong.
That he wanted to try a threesome.
‘Then again… being direct is better than trying to be slick with Yu-jeong.’
Having known Shin Yu-jeong for a long time, she thought Kim Do-jin’s method was quite sound.
It was a hundred times better to take the hit upfront than to try some clumsy trick and have it all blow up.
Her mind started racing.
‘What’s the best way to handle this…?’
Jo Yun-kyung wanted only one thing.
To make Kim Do-jin happy.
‘If I do, he’ll definitely hold me, right?’
Kim Do-jin hadn’t come around lately, and she was starting to miss him.
If she stepped in and resolved this conflict with Shin Yu-jeong, whom he cherished so much… he had said himself that he was strict with rewards and punishments, so he would never just let it go.
‘Maybe he’ll even pick me to be the other woman for the threesome with Yu-jeong?’
A light shiver ran through Jo Yun-kyung’s body.
The thought alone was thrilling.
Then, a small sense of self-loathing gently pressed down on her mind.
‘How did I end up like this…?’
It felt like just yesterday that she had men lining up for her to choose from. Now, here she was, desperately trying to hold one man’s gaze for just a little longer.
But it was strange.
Even as she felt pathetic, she also felt an immense sense of happiness.
Greed whispered to her.
‘Should I just push her away from him?’
If she could separate Shin Yu-jeong from him, maybe more opportunities would come her way.
‘No, that’s not right.’
But she didn’t fall for it.
‘Who am I to think that?’
She faced reality.
Even if she managed to get Shin Yu-jeong out of the picture, it wouldn’t mean more chances for her.
If that were possible, Kim Do-jin wouldn’t have labeled her a fucktoy from the very beginning.
All she could do was… wag her tail just as Kim Do-jin wanted.
And if there was one more thing…
‘It would be best if Yu-jeong is in the highest position, right?’
That way, as her friend, she might get a few more scraps thrown her way.
“What would you do? A threesome… could you allow it?”
At Shin Yu-jeong’s question, Jo Yun-kyung shrugged and shook her head.
“Well… wouldn’t it depend on the person?”
“I’m asking what you would do.”
“No, I don’t mean me.”
“What are you talking about?”
Seeing her friend tilt her head in confusion, Jo Yun-kyung kindly explained.
“I’m saying whether you allow it or not depends on the man.”
Even though she already knew everything, she began to question Shin Yu-jeong relentlessly.
“Is the guy capable?”
“Uh… I think so. He’s great now, and there’s a very high chance he’ll be even more amazing in the future.”
Jo Yun-kyung fought to suppress the smile that was forming on her lips.
‘Right, that’s true. He’s already a B-rank Hunter, and he’s likely to become an S-rank later.’
The public’s assessment of Kim Do-jin could be summed up in a single sentence.
The S-rank Hunter who will lead the Republic of Korea in the future.
His performance was so outstanding it was hard to believe he was a rookie.
And yet, his growth showed no signs of slowing down as he surpassed existing Hunters one after another.
“Okay, so his ability is S-rank.”
Shin Yu-jeong gave a slight nod.
“Well… I guess he deserves an S-rank.”
Jo Yun-kyung smiled bitterly at her friend’s nod of acknowledgment.
She wondered if this whole dilemma was even meaningful.
Pushing the doubt from her mind, she asked again.
“What about his looks?”
“He’s handsome. How should I put it… when he’s still, he’s like a gentle puppy, but sometimes he’s like a wolf, and other times like a fox…”
As she explained excitedly, Jo Yun-kyung found herself nodding along in agreement.
“Right, right.”
Then, Shin Yu-jeong narrowed her eyes and asked.
“…What do you know?”
Realizing her slip-up, Jo Yun-kyung quickly made an excuse.
“No~ I don’t mean I know that guy, just that I know guys with that kind of vibe.”
“Oh, really? For a second there…”
“Phew…”
Jo Yun-kyung was grateful that Shin Yu-jeong was completely oblivious.
“So his looks are… S-rank too.”
“Heehee, that’s right.”
Seeing Shin Yu-jeong’s undisguised delight, a mischievous Jo Yun-kyung launched a counterattack.
“Why are you so happy? You said he’s your friend’s boyfriend.”
“…I’m not happy. I’m just drunk, so the corners of my mouth are turning up.”
“Aha… is that so?”
“Ah, anyway, next question.”
Jo Yun-kyung smiled softly at Shin Yu-jeong, who was waving her hands in the air, her face flushed.
“Well… you might not know this one.”
“…What kind of question is it?”
“That guy, how is he at night?”
“A-At night?”
“Sex, I mean sex.”
“Wh-Why that…”
As Shin Yu-jeong stammered, her face growing even redder, Jo Yun-kyung answered without hesitation.
“Why do you think? I need to know if he has the stamina to satisfy at least two women before I can give you an answer.”
“……”
After a long hesitation, she carefully opened her mouth.
“Well… my friend told me he’s so incredibly virile that he’s hard for one person to handle.”
Seeing her friend so flustered for the first time, a playful urge took over Jo Yun-kyung, and she asked an even more mischievous question.
“You don’t happen to know things like… his length, or girth… or how many times he does it in a day?”
“…I don’t know. Anyway, she just said he’s amazing. Unimaginably so.”
“Hmm, I see.”
She decided to stop teasing.
If she made her angry, there was no telling how much she’d get chewed out.
Jo Yun-kyung lowered her head and pressed her lips together, pretending to think for a moment.
After some time had passed, she gave her answer in a clear voice.
“If it were me, I’d allow it.”
“…You’d allow it?”
“Yep.”
Shin Yu-jeong was deeply shocked.
How could she make a decision so easily when she herself had agonized over it all day?
A flicker of doubt crossed her mind.
“You’re not just saying that because it’s not your problem, are you?”
“Hey, no. I’m really giving you a carefully considered answer.”
“And still… you’d allow it?”
“I’m telling you.”
It was hard to believe.
No matter how open-minded she was, she never thought she would allow even that.
Her expression turning desperate, Shin Yu-jeong asked.
“Why would you allow it? For what reason?”
“Based on what you said, that guy… he’s incredible, isn’t he? S-rank looks, S-rank ability, and even S-rank in bed… no, is that SSS-rank? Anyway, with all that, I think he’s more than capable of handling multiple women.”
At her clear-cut answer, Shin Yu-jeong hung her head low.
Jo Yun-kyung’s sly temptation began to weave its way toward her.
“Look at it from a different perspective, Yu-jeong.”
“…What perspective?”
“A guy with that much ability, who’s also that handsome… honestly, I think he could have a threesome whenever he wants. Without even having to tell you. So what does it mean that he was honest with you about it?”
Leaning as far as she could over the table, Jo Yun-kyung’s final words seeped into her ear.
“Doesn’t it mean he likes you that much? So much that he absolutely wants you to be a part of his sexual fantasy.”
An amazing interpretation!
Her mind, reeling from the successive nuclear-level shocks, found it difficult to even distinguish whether that was right or wrong.
No, her heart, which didn’t want to grow distant from him, was desperately trying to accept it as the truth.
Jo Yun-kyung wasn’t finished.
“If you really like that guy too, I think you should accept the threesome. But… you attach one condition.”
Shin Yu-jeong slowly lifted her head and asked with a curious tone.
“…What’s the condition?”
“That is.”
Seeing that she was half-persuaded and intrigued, Jo Yun-kyung made her decision.
“You make him promise that no matter if he has ten women or twenty, you will always be the official wife.”
She would accept her life as a fucktoy, and become the favored fucktoy of him and his official wife.
That was the new survival strategy she had just realized.
