A Night in the Motel
But I soon laughed it off as if I'd just heard something absurd and shifted my expression.
"Me? Come on, don't say something so ridiculous."
I waved my hands dismissively and continued as calmly as I could.
"That's impossible. Yuna's the top idol in the country, and I'm just an ordinary office worker—well, now I'm just a plain old jobless guy. Our worlds are on completely different levels."
Noona smirked at my smooth reply.
Then she pulled the empty glass toward her and started mixing another soju-beer cocktail.
"Why not? Are idols not allowed to date someone like you?"
She slid the glass across the table toward me with a meaningful smile.
"In this day and age, there are plenty of cases where celebrities date or even marry regular people instead of other celebrities."
I accepted the glass with a shrug, sensing she was fishing for information.
"I get what you're worried about, noona. But it's really a misunderstanding. We're not like that at all."
I answered in the most decisive tone I could manage.
My conscience pricked a little, but strictly speaking, it wasn't a lie. We had dated in the past, but we weren't in that kind of relationship anymore.
Though physically, we'd become entangled far more deeply than any ordinary couple…
"Is that so?"
Noona let out a nasal hum and curled her lips upward at my explanation. She was still staring at me like a predator eyeing its prey, clearly unconvinced.
Under that persistent gaze, I recalled Yuna's warning.
'Noona really loves drinking and she's insanely good at it! No one's ever beaten her in a drinking contest at company dinners. And when she wants to dig into someone's secrets, she often gets them blackout drunk on purpose to loosen their tongue. She's definitely going to do that to you too. Be careful.'
Yuna's prediction had been spot-on. This was a scheme to unearth everything about me and uncover my relationship with Yuna.
I took a deep breath and steeled myself.
"Alright, let's drink then."
I boldly downed the sloshing soju-beer in one go.
"Oh-ho! Our Dohun's a real man!"
Noona slapped the table and cheered heartily. Not to be outdone, she raised her own glass and knocked it back cleanly.
Then she leaned in close with an intrigued smile.
"Nice~ Spending the night getting to know our Dohun a little deeper sounds perfect, doesn't it?"
She rested her chin on her hand and narrowed her eyes seductively.
"Shall we get started for real? Time for our Dohun to spill his honest, deep thoughts."
The dark, chilly dawn air brushed against my skin.
"Ah, seriously…! Noona, please sober up!"
I was currently supporting a limp noona as we staggered down an alleyway. With her arm slung over my shoulder, she kept drunkenly rambling without pause.
"Heyyy~!! Youuu~! What about me!? *hic* What's wrong with being thirty!? What's so old about thirty~!?"
Noona shouted right into my ear.
"Why isn't there even one decent guy around me!? Am I really that unattractive!? Do I really look like some old hag!?"
"Noona, please be quiet. You're going to wake up the whole neighborhood."
Thank goodness it was dawn and no one was around. If anyone had seen us like this, I would've wanted to crawl into a mouse hole from sheer embarrassment.
I managed to sit the drunken, wobbling noona down on a bench and wiped the sweat from my forehead.
"Haa… This is insane."
Catching my breath, I replayed what had just happened.
At the hof, we'd literally drunk ourselves to death. Ten bottles of soju and twelve bottles of beer. Enough to kill two people.
But the one who collapsed first in that terrifying drinking contest was none other than noona.
Truthfully, I had an ironclad tolerance for alcohol. No matter how much I drank, I only got a light buzz and never lost control.
So when I kept drinking without even changing color, noona's competitive spirit flared up and she started chugging at an insane pace.
The result was the mess currently sprawled across the bench.
"Mmm…"
Noona shifted on the bench and began to slump even more heavily.
"Noona, try to stay awake. Where do you live?"
"Aah~ I don't know~"
When I shook her shoulder, she twisted her body away. The motion made her skirt ride dangerously high up her thighs, revealing the faint outline of black panties.
That wasn't all. As she squirmed, her T-shirt slipped down, fully exposing her cleavage and the straps of her black bra.
'Shit! This is driving me crazy!'
My face burned and I quickly looked away. There was no way I could bring her to the officetel where Yuna was staying in this state.
I tried calling Yuna for help, but…
'Right… I never asked for her number.'
Regret hit me too late. I opened an app to call a taxi, but at this hour in the outskirts, not a single cab was available.
While I was standing there helplessly, noona suddenly crossed her legs and groaned.
"Ugh! Dohun…!"
"Yeah? What's wrong? Feeling sick? Gonna throw up?"
"Nooo… I gotta pee…! I'm gonna wet myself…"
"What!?"
Noona clung to my arm and whined like a child.
"I'm just gonna do it here~ I'm gonna pee right here~"
"Are you crazy!? Hold it in!"
I panicked and tried to stop her. But noona had already lost all sense of reason. When she actually looked ready to pull her skirt down right there on the street, cold sweat ran down my spine.
'Agh!! Seriously!!!'
Desperately scanning the area, I spotted a flashy neon sign glowing at the end of the alley.
A motel.
'Ah… that's not ideal…'
I hesitated, considering the misunderstandings and aftermath, when noona suddenly yanked at her T-shirt.
"Hng~ I don't care~! It's hot! I'm suffocating! I need to pee…!!"
She was about to strip her shirt off completely.
"Ah, noona! Wait! Why are you taking your clothes off!?"
I grabbed her clothes in horror. At this rate, she'd be doing a strip show in the middle of the street.
In the end, swallowing my self-loathing, I hoisted noona onto my back and hurried toward the motel right in front of us.
'This is insane, seriously…'
In the end, we ended up inside a motel room.
The moment I opened the door and stepped in, noona jumped off my back and started bouncing around like a child.
"Waaah~!! It's a bed~!!"
She cheered innocently and flopped spread-eagle onto the mattress.
"Haa…"
I pressed a hand to my forehead and let out a deep sigh. I couldn't understand how things had spiraled into this mess.
Whether I lamented or not, noona rolled around on the bed, lost in her own world. Then she suddenly started twisting again.
"Ugh… I need to pee… It's so hot…"
She staggered to her feet and this time actually tried to yank off her top.
"Ah! Noona, seriously! Stop taking your clothes off!"
I rushed over to stop her, but she smacked my hand away with a sharp sound.
"*hic* Let go!! Why do you keep stopping me!!"
Her glare was terrifyingly sharp.
"You… *hic* Are you looking down on me because I'm a thirty-year-old hag!? Do I not look like a woman to you!?"
"What? No, that's not—"
"Am I really that unattractive as a woman!? Huh!?"
Noona raised her voice, breathing heavily with indignation. I stared at her in disbelief.
Her looks and figure were on par with most celebrities. Even though she was a drunken wreck right now, I thought her personality when sober wasn't bad either. Plenty of men would line up for her, so it was hard to understand why she was complaining about not having any.
'Or maybe there's some story behind it?'
I wondered, but there was no time to figure it out.
"You're Yuna's boyfriend, right!? Say it straight!"
Noona stumbled closer and grabbed me by the collar, shaking me.
"I already told you I'm not. How many times do I have to say it?"
I answered half-heartedly, resigned. Explaining to someone whose memory would be gone by morning was pointless anyway.
At my reply, noona pouted with a sulky expression and slowly scanned me from head to toe. Then, as if struck by an idea, she suddenly grinned.
"Then you, sit right here next to me."
She patted the bed and ordered.
"Why now?"
"Sit down!! Or else tomorrow I'm marching straight to your company and telling everyone you're Yuna's boyfriend!!"
It was a childish threat, like a kindergartener tattling to the teacher.
"Ha…!"
A hollow laugh escaped me. But she was drunk. There was no point in provoking her, so I answered weakly and obediently sat on the bed.
"Fine, fine. I'll sit."
"Hehe… Don't move a muscle and stay right here. I'm going to the bathroom to pee, so if you run away, you're dead!"
Noona wobbled toward the bathroom, issuing her warning.
'Just go to sleep already.'
I nodded from where I sat on the bed. I'd brought her to the motel, but I had no intention of leaving her like this. At the very least, I planned to make sure this troublesome noona fell asleep peacefully before leaving the room.
Trickle—
The unmistakable sound of urination from the bathroom began leaking into the room. I scratched my head awkwardly and stared blankly into space.
'I'm paying for a motel room just to listen to my ex-girlfriend's manager pee… My life really is legendary.'
While I was lamenting my fate, I heard rustling from the bathroom, followed by the door swinging open.
I turned my head without thinking—and froze on the spot.
Noona walked out completely naked, not a single thread on her body.
"N-Noona!?"
Shocked, I tried to stand up, but she smiled and strode over, tackling me onto the bed.
"Whoa!"
In an instant, I was pinned down with my back against the wall, and noona slipped between my legs.
"Heyy~"
She looked down at me and whispered in a slurred voice.
"If you're really not Yuna's boyfriend~ then you can do it with me, right?"
"Noona, what the hell!? Are you in your right mind!?"
When I tried to push her away in disbelief, she suddenly stuck out her lips and made a pitiful, heartbroken face.
"Hng! You don't want to do it with me because I'm a thirty-year-old hag, is that it?"
"No, that's really not it!"
"Then let's do it! Let's do it! Do it with me—!!"
Noona pounded her fists on my chest like a child throwing a tantrum.
"If you're telling the truth, prove it right now! Otherwise, you're officially Kim Yuna's boyfriend!!"
She huffed and tried to rip open my shirt buttons by force.
"Noona, you're really drunk! You're going to regret this tomorrow morning!"
I desperately resisted and held onto the buttons, but she resorted to her childish threat again.
"If you dodge this, I'm seriously reporting everything to your company!!"
"Noona, are you a kindergartener? Why do you keep making these ridiculous threats—"
"I don't care~!! Just listen to me obediently!!"
Noona grabbed my pants and tried to yank them down without mercy.
"Noona, you're not in your right mind right now!"
"Me~? I'm not drunk at all~ I'm totally fine~ *hic*"
She grinned broadly. I sighed inwardly.
'Lady, that's exactly what a blackout drunk person says!'
While we struggled, noona suddenly stopped whining. She climbed on top of me, leaned down, and looked me straight in the eye.
"So."
Her voice dropped low as she gazed at me through half-lidded eyes.
"Are you going to do it, or not?"
Stunned by the absurd situation, noona seemed to interpret my silence as agreement and smiled.
"Hehe~ Since you're not resisting, I guess that means yes~?"
Letting out a pleased hum, noona gently caressed my cheek with her soft hand.
"I'll show you exactly what happens when this noona gets serious. I'll prove to you that being with a man isn't a big deal either."
In a languid voice, she cupped my cheeks firmly so I couldn't escape. Drunk and stripped of reason, she began releasing her pent-up lust and pounced on me.
