MT (2)
After lunch, each team was assigned a room. The activity rooms and sleeping quarters were separate, divided by gender.
As soon as we got to the room, Team Leader Lee So-yeon gave the order.
"You know the unwritten rule, right? Wash your feet first. They stink."
After washing our feet, we gathered in one spot to practice the talent show song.
"For now, just memorize the lyrics roughly. Thanks to Cheol-jin's idea, we can see the lyrics on stage, but it's still better not to rely on them."
She was right. And even though we could pull up the lyrics on our phones, if we hadn't memorized them to some extent, we might miss our cue.
After we'd practiced the song a couple of times, a booming voice echoed through the hallway.
"Everyone, gather in the hallway!"
After a headcount, we moved to a large auditorium.
The MT started in earnest.
*
Next, each team had time to choose a name.
"Let's just pick something quick. How about 'Team Victory'?"
"Sounds good."
"That's not bad?"
I liked it. It was simple and inoffensive.
Soon all the team names were decided.
The other names like Team Booze, Team Party, and Team Score were on a similar level.
[Now then, Cheonggwang University Digital Contents Department, we're going to play for real! Everyone, give me a roar!]
"Waaaaah......."
The response was lukewarm.
So the MC clicked his tongue and said.
[The energy's pretty weak. Especially the second- and third-years—their energy is absolute trash. I understand. But since we're all here anyway, shouldn't we play with some enthusiasm?]
The MC paused for a beat, sweeping his eyes over the students in the auditorium. Then he smirked, the corner of his mouth lifting, and shouted.
[A special prize will be awarded to the first-place team today. Not soju or beer like last year—it's a hiiigh-grade wine, sponsored by an anonymous benefactor. And for your information, we're also tracking attitude scores outside of the games. Please be aware that the authority to grant attitude scores lies entirely with the MC. Now, let's try that roar again!]
Was he a rapper? The MC, who'd rattled it all off without taking a single breath, thrust the mic toward the students once more.
The effect of the "hiiigh-grade wine" was immediate.
"Waaaaaah─!"
"MC oppa, you're so handsome!"
Pi Ah-reum shouted, squealing. The other female team members, swept up in the excitement, shouted too. Of course, our Team Leader Lee So-yeon just stayed still, as if everything was a bother, but Yu-bam sunbae, who shouted along with us, had exceptionally striking looks.
She was a mixed-race girl with auburn hair and teal eyes.
How could she not catch the MC's eye?
[Who was that just now! What did that person from Team 3's lighting say? Okay, Team Victory plus 1 point! Living up to your name! If I had my way, I'd give you 100 points!]
Ooooh, jeers rang out.
Right after, a deep voice shouted too.
"Opppa, over here too! So handsome!"
[Yikes. Team Booze, I'll be deducting a point. Minus 1 point.]
Wahahahaha─!
The MC's hosting was incredibly smooth. Was he sure he belonged to the Digital Content department and not Recreation?
After that, various games were played.
Song guessing, common sense quizzes, the newspaper game, and so on.
Among them was a game called 'Relay Balloon Popping'.
In this game, team members stood in a line and passed a balloon backward without using their heads or hands. The two at the very end had to pop it. The person at the front had to blow it up first to pass it back.
Ah-reum stood in front of me, and Yu-bam sunbae stood behind. How did the positions end up like this? The MC had announced the event late. If we'd known the game in advance, the guys would have lined up with guys and the girls with girls. But we didn't, so the lineup ended up coed.
"Pass the balloon back! Pop it fast!"
Our team leader, who had only been half-hearted at first, was now shouting urgently. Did she have her eye on the high-grade wine? No, looking at her expression, maybe she was just highly competitive.
Anyway, the balloon came to Ah-reum, who was in front of me.
"Ee-yak! Balloon, where are you going!"
The balloon bounced away. Ah-reum made a crying face, chased it down, and trapped it with her chest.
Jiggle.
Since she couldn't use her head or hands, she had to receive the balloon with her torso, and because Ah-reum was short, she had to bounce her body up and down slightly to pass the balloon to me. It was only natural that her chest jiggled up and down each time.
At that violent spectacle, several men's gazes flew over. Pure instinct, probably.
I couldn't just stand by and watch. I quickly ran over to Ah-reum.
"Ah, Ah-reum, over here!"
I lowered my stance and took the balloon from Ah-reum.
Tuk, toong. I expertly bounced the balloon off my left and right chest to steer it. It was easier to control than a soccer ball, so I quickly got the straying balloon back on track.
"Bam sunbae!"
I joined Team 3's line and turned around.
Now I just had to pop the balloon with Bam sunbae.
But.......
Peong! Mulkong!
'H-holy shit, her mid is challenger tier.'
As we popped the balloon and our chests pressed together, I felt immense pressure. Bam sunbae's chest was incredibly big. By the feel of it, far bigger than even Pi Ah-reum's.
As the balloon popping went on.
Peong! Mulkong. Peong! Bibijeok. Peong! Kkuuk.
My hips kept pulling back further and further. My dick was half-erect from our chests pressing together over and over.
But pulling back made my posture unstable, and naturally, the speed at which we popped the balloons slowed down.
"Cheol-jin? We have to do this quickly! We're losing!"
"Th-that's true, but..."
I knew that! But my little guy, already half hard, had no intention of calming down. My damn lower half was getting stiff at the slightest stimulation because I hadn't had sex in a week.
"Cheol-jin, hurry!"
"Ah, I know."
I had no choice but to move in closer to Yu-bam sunbae. We pressed our bodies together like a hug to pop the balloon. Our chests touched, and before I knew it, my stiff lower half brushed lightly against her too.
"Cheol-jin, the next balloon's coming!"
"Y-yes!"
Fortunately, Yu-bam sunbae seemed too focused on the balloon to notice. I sighed in relief and grabbed the next balloon. We kept pressing together, popping balloons, and my lower half kept lightly poking around her lower abdomen.
Our team's chemistry was better than I expected.
Ah-reum, who had fumbled a bit at first, got the hang of it and passed the balloon with one touch. And I, my hesitation gone, popped the balloons with Yu-bam sunbae in one go.
And the result was.
[Balloon popping game over! 'Team Victory' is first with 17! Right now, 'Team Let's Play' and 'Team Victory' are tied. Who will be the owner of the hiiigh-grade wine!]
We were in the lead.
Our team members celebrated, jumping up and down. Ah-reum turned around and held her palm out to me. We high-fived, and Yu-bam sunbae, who was behind me, patted my back a few times.
"Me too, high-five! We did it!"
"Yes! You worked hard, sunbae."
When our palms met, Yu-bam sunbae's face was flushed with excitement as she beamed. She'd said this was her first MT, and it looked like this was the first time she'd ever played around like this.
'Though I'm not in any position to talk about others.'
I couldn't remember the last time I'd hung out and played like this. The MT, which I'd only found annoying and burdensome, was actually a little fun.
But I still hated standing out.
After that, several more games were played, but I mostly sat them out. For the group games, I had no choice but to join in, but for individual events that required going up on stage, I just quietly coasted.
Even without my active participation, our team's score stayed in the lead. Seongju hyung and Ah-reum aced most of the games, and in events that required strength, the muscleman Ahn Seong-hyeon overwhelmingly racked up points.
A push-up showdown where men's pride was on the line.
Guys went up on stage and did push-ups to the MC's count, but most couldn't get past 40. By the 50th rep, only three remained.
"Whoa, what's with that guy? Is he a spy from the Phys Ed department?"
Someone shouted that.
As Ahn Seong-hyeon, sleeves rolled up, bulged the veins in his forearms, a few girls murmured 'oh my, oh my' in admiration.
In the end, Ahn Seong-hyeon overwhelmingly took first place this time too, raising our team's ranking.
I watched this with my arms crossed.
'The rule wherever you go is that if you stay still, you at least go half as far.'
But the MC didn't seem to have any intention of leaving people like me alone.
— Only the same people keep coming out. That's no fun. What is an MT? Isn't it short for Membership Training? Teamwork is what's important, I'm saying!
Ugh. I felt a knee-jerk rejection, because I knew exactly what he was going to say.
— This time, it's mainly the ones who haven't come out for an individual event who come out! One female member from each team, come up on stage!
At those words, the team members' gazes turned to one person. Fortunately, a woman was called, so it wasn't me.
"Ugh. I was coasting by quietly."
Team leader sighed. I'd thought she was participating super passionately, but I now realized our team leader had actually been subtly coasting all along.
'She completely fooled me.'
The experience of a second-year doesn't go anywhere, huh. I should learn from watching her.
I was thinking that as I watched our team leader go up on stage.
— Alright, now you can bring a guy from your own team. Of course, you have to bring the team member who participated the least.
The team members' gazes, which had been directed at the team leader, now focused on me. No, if they were going to do this, they should've just said to bring one man and one woman from the start!
Team leader gestured.
"Come out, quickly."
"Yep......."
I trudged up onto the stage.
— Alright, we hammered the upper body earlier, so this time we need to tighten the lower body, right? This game is squats! Men, pick the women right up on your backs! Of course, carrying them in your arms is fine too!
No, did he come from the Phys Ed department? What's with these Digital Content department games?
"Team leader, how should we do this?"
"I'll get on your back. A princess carry feels a little......."
"Right?"
I also thought a princess carry was a bit much.
But then I looked to the side.
Everyone except me was holding the women in a princess carry. Was this the optimal posture for winning? Everyone was more serious than I'd thought.
And after seeing that, our team leader revised her thinking. Her competitive spirit had kicked in.
"Carry me in your arms."
"...Yep."
I supported the team leader's back and slipped my hand into the crook of her knees to lift her up. When my hand touched her bare thigh, the team leader muttered, sounding a little embarrassed.
"Ah, I shouldn't have worn shorts......."
"......."
"Are they that heavy?"
"Ah, no. They're light."
"Thanks for the gesture, anyway. But since you said they're light, you can't lose, okay?"
No, you said 'thanks for the gesture, anyway.' What you followed it up with is a bit unbalanced, though.
'Her thighs are pretty sturdy.......'
God, I was going crazy. Just because I got a feel of some woman's flesh, my lower half was like 'Are we doing this now?' and trying to raise its head.
No, I said not now! I screamed internally, but when had my little guy ever been good at communicating? It insisted on coiling up like a dragon.
I lowered the team leader, whom I was holding in my arms, down a little and covered up the bulge that had poked out at the front of my pants. Fuck, I should've at least jerked off at home before coming... I felt a belated regret.
