Chapter Title: Scenario 2: Premium

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Because of the Scenario Book, it was bound to happen one way or another, but the process was what mattered.

I made her wrestle with the idea, deliberate on it thoroughly, and then propose it herself.

It was a method that lowered discomfort while boosting immersion in the midst of her deliberations.

Sarahk.

I pulled the Scenario Book out of my bag and checked it once.

Discomfort was high, but if the previous work hadn't been a flop, it would've been around 11%—a very low number.

"Definitely feels better this way."

I slipped the notebook back in and observed U Dayoung, who was sitting there.

Her expression kept changing by the second, but that was probably just her grappling with the decision, not discomfort.

Deureuk.

I stood from my chair and approached her.

"Dayoung, I sent the email. When you do the audio edit, just make sure it doesn't get buried—turn the volume down a bit."

I mentioned the feedback while subtly studying her face.

"Mm, got it."

U Dayoung's response came with a pretty amusing expression.

I returned to my seat and kept working, checking the Scenario Book periodically.

By afternoon, immersion had finally surpassed discomfort.

"Hmmm."

My heart was already pounding at ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠the thought of what was about to unfold.

I hadn't had much fun lately, and the excitement over this new plaything just wouldn't fade.

It was midsummer, so even at quitting time, the sun still hung in the sky as I got up.

"Dayoung, I'm heading out first then."

"Huh? Oh, yeah."

U Dayoung saw me off. This, too, was all part of the plan.

I opened the company door and descended the stairs, counting slowly.

"One... two... three..."

As I murmured and reached the bottom of the stairs, the company door opened behind me.

"Siu!"

"...?"

Feigning ignorance, I stood at the base of the stairs and looked up.

Tadak.

U Dayoung hurried down the stairs, froze when she spotted me, then spoke up.

"If we do that, will you really pay a lot?"

She'd already made up her mind inside, so I decided to play hard to get one more time.

"Nah~, no way. Woohyun would flip if he found ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠out. Besides, you hate that kind of stuff."

As I waved it off and turned to leave, U Dayoung grabbed the stair railing and said,

"I wanna try it. I do hate it... but still."

"...Woohyun looked that rough, huh? Aigoo."

I scratched the back of my head vigorously and walked back up to her.

"You really wanna do it?"

"Yeah, I do."

"Alright? Haa~."

I let out a breath, made a reluctant face and gestured hesitantly, then said,

"Guess there's no helping it then... There is one trending thing lately..."

A faint, insidious lewdness seeped into my words, subtle enough that U Dayoung wouldn't catch it.

U Dayoung.

[Adult Toy]

She looked up at the sign—adult products turned into cute characters for a humorous twist—and took a deep breath.

"First time here?"

She nodded at Nam Siu's words. Between her boyfriend and everything else, she had no reason to come to a place like this.

"Anyway..."

He pulled out the camera, checked it a few times, then nodded that he was ready.

"One more rundown. First, we'll react to each product one by one—that'll be Episode 0, the teaser."

"Got it. Whew, I'm nervous."

"Keep it light. If you act all heavy about it, viewers will feel burdened too."

He was right.

Not because he was a friend, but because she trusted his planning and editing skills.

"Ready to go?"

"Yeah."

Shiiik.

The automatic doors slid open, revealing a spacious store where couples browsed around.

Nam Siu filmed with the camera in hand.

"Hi everyone, it's U Dayoung, the good-friend type~."

She tried her best to sound bright like a reporter, but given the location, she couldn't help glancing around at the stares.

"The owner who sponsored this spot is here too~."

After a light intro, she checked out various products on the owner's recommendations.

This wasn't some dingy, lonely roadside sex shop—it was sleek, thoughtfully designed to feel casual, so she spotted couples and young 20-30-somethings who'd dropped by after drinks.

"How do you use this one?"

She didn't dare pick up the dildo, just pointed cautiously with her finger.

The owner smiled and picked them up one by one, explaining how to use them.

"Ah~, r-right, I see."

That's when I tossed in a casual question.

"Dayoung, have you ever tried stuff like this with your boyfriend?"

"Me? Of course not. What about you, owner?"

"I use them pretty often."

"Eek?"

She made a face like she'd never even imagined it.

"We're adults, after all."

"Ewww~."

"What’s with that face? Please manage your expressions~."

U Dayoung freaked out and dropped the dildo she'd been holding.

Not knowing she'd end up using it herself.

I'd scouted it online myself and gotten their cooperation for filming.

Of course, since it was scripted in the Scenario Book, it went pretty smoothly.

"Alright~. Here you go."

I handed U Dayoung the now-bulging bag.

She peeked at the vulgar items inside, pursed her lips side to side, and made a disgusted face.

"Pfft, come on, don't hate it already. Anyway, we bought this stuff. Now you handle the ending."

"Oh."

Unfamiliar with the items, she wore an equally unfamiliar expression as she started the outro inside the store.

"We spent about 155,000 won total~. Uh... so please look forward to Episode 1!"

The moment I stopped the camera after the ending, she thrust the bag at me.

The blatant logo on the bag made her hate even holding it.

"Ewww~."

The second we stepped outside, she shook her hands like she'd touched a bug.

"Hey, couples come here too—why freak out so much?"

"Ugh~, still though."

U Dayoung shook her head vigorously. Well, first-timers could feel pretty embarrassed.

"Let's head home."

It was quite a trek back, so we had no choice but to grab a taxi.

"This counts as expenses too, right?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Feels like we blew almost 200,000 today. Taxi fare on top."

"True..."

U Dayoung, in the back seat, said worriedly,

"What if this doesn't work out...?"

"Come on, how many projects have we done? This is a guaranteed hit."

"Really?"

"Yeah. If you wanna help Woohyun, act pro. If it flops, it's your fault for all the 'ugh~' faces."

His name steadied her resolve again, but she shuddered anew at glimpses of the dildo and lube gel in the bag.

I hadn't realized she could hate this stuff so much.

Beep beep beep beep.

We punched in the code and entered the house.

"Your place is surprisingly tidy, huh?"

She acted like it was her first time, no memory of the previous visit.

"Yeah, company moved to Gyeonggi, so I got a new full lease. You guys."

"Sorry~."

"Put some soul into it."

"Sorry~!"

Before filming, we ordered simple delivery for dinner.

"50 minutes. Let's finish setup before that. Where do you wanna shoot?"

I asked U Dayoung, who was looking around the room.

"Living room or small room fine? Or master bedroom?"

I asked again. After scoping every room, she pointed to the living room.

"Living room seems best?"

"Yeah? Okay. Wait here."

I lugged a desk out from the small room with a grunt.

I set the bag of toys on it and positioned the camera in front.

"Not level—move. Focus is on you."

"Oh, yeah."

U Dayoung stepped aside. Once setup was done, I stood at the desk and unpacked the toys one by one.

"Electric dildo... whoa, this one's huge."

"Ewww~."

U Dayoung recoiled in horror.

Staring straight at that thick, veiny dildo was clearly tough for her.

Next up was the lube gel.

"Aroma scent and rose scent..."

I'd also grabbed the cheapest odorless one. Figured we'd use it a lot.

"Onahole too..."

"Ugh~, that's so gross..."

"It's the same as women's stuff—just for guys, that's all."

"Women's stuff is weird too."

To U Dayoung, every single toy looked bizarre.

Ding dong.

"Oh, delivery's here."

We ate the light snacks while I explained the shoot.

"Later in the content, we might need to buy cosplay outfits too."

"I have to wear those?"

"There are men-only ones. I'll end up wearing them eventually anyway."

"Blech."

The chastity cage popped into her head, and she dropped her jaw, radiating disgust.

"Mm, this tteokbokki is killer. Where's it from?"

"Here."

I showed her the delivery bag and explained Episode 1.

"Episode 1 after we eat and chill a bit. No disgusted faces this time, okay?"

"Mm, gulp. Got it. But... can we clear those away before eating?"

For her comfort, I bagged the toys and moved them aside.

We finished most of the delivery snacks.

"Fridge the leftovers?"

"Yeah~."

While she cleaned up, I checked the camera again, then pulled the Scenario Book from my bag.

The sharply risen immersion and dropped discomfort made me tilt my head.

"Huh, not what I expected?"

I'd thought discomfort would've spiked after the adult store, but no.

"Ah..."

I spotted the reason as U Dayoung hummed a tune while stashing the leftovers in the fridge.

"She's dead serious about food."

Who knew a meal could boost immersion like that.

I tucked the Scenario Book back and called to U Dayoung.

"Dayoung, let's start right away."

"Oh, yeah."

She trotted over, and my eyes drifted to her body—maybe the height, maybe the chest.

"Phew, ready, Siu. Let's do this."

"For real? No more explanations?"

"Yeah, just film like that YouTube one."

Good, she seemed mentally prepared.

I spread the toys out on the desk.

"Starting Episode 1?"

With setup complete, filming began.
