Chapter Title: Reunited with Yang Sua

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

A notification popped up from the Item Shop.

After buying the capsule I'd used on noona, I'd browsed the shop, but since it was still in early testing, there wasn't anything else worth buying.

I'd only enabled notifications for new product registrations, and it looked like a new item had just been ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠released.

Simultaneous payments, huh.

It was a pretty tempting feature, but the price was the issue.

If you got lucky, it might be free, but if not, it could wipe out your entire credit limit in one go.

'Eh, whatever... Finals are coming up soon anyway.'

Once finals were over, it would be July.

Considering how I'd bombed midterms, I needed to put more effort into preparing for finals this time.

While I hesitated for a moment...

The stock vanished in an instant.

'!!!'

Seeing the quantity drop, I snapped it up like I was possessed.

......Only 80,000 left on my credit limit?

It felt a bit pricey, but...

Only five available worldwide as a limited release.

Might've been lucky to snag one.

A shame about the credit limit, but I had to study anyway, so maybe it was for the best.

With that, I tossed my phone aside and went to sleep.

Finals were finally over, and summer break had begun.

After my last exam, I was smoking alone in the lounge.

'It's so quiet.'

The last day of June.

The campus, with the official first semester schedule wrapped up, was quieter than usual.

Everyone except people like me who had exams until the end had already left.

Jinsu had apparently started dating his first love.

He said they couldn't go on proper dates because exam period hit right after they started going out, so the moment finals ended, he rushed off for one.

I was glad to see him so happy.

"Jinwoo! All alone today?"

Hana noona approached with a smile.

She seemed to have completely forgotten about the thing with Mr. Kim, back to her usual affectionate self.

Though lately, she blushed a bit whenever our eyes met.

Otherwise, she was the same as always.

"How'd exams go for you, noona?"

"Me? Eh... So-so."

She looked as pretty as ever in her white blouse.

"Your clothes'll smell like smoke. Why come here?"

"'Cause you're here, dummy."

"Sheesh, someone might think I live here."

"Hehe. Yeah, right."

Noona eyed the cigarette in my mouth, then snatched it with her hand.

"Mind if I try one?"

"Better not."

Noona put the cigarette between her lips.

She just pretended to smoke without inhaling.

"How's it look? Do I pull it off?"

"Not even a little. Gimme."

Her red lip tint was smeared on the cigarette I took back.

"Hey! Smoking that now is basically an indirect kiss!"

"Pfft... Whatever."

I casually put it back in my mouth.

"Tch. You're no fun. You don't make that dumb face anymore, so I've been bored."

She said that, but she was grinning ear to ear, staring at my face.

'Maybe grab dinner together.'

Since that day, I hadn't used Pay on noona again, but we'd gotten way closer.

Lately, it even felt like she was the one seeking me out.

"Jinwoo. My parents are coming today, so we're having dinner together. Wanna come?"

"Haha, good one."

"Hehe. I'm not joking."

Family dinner, huh.

Dinner would have to wait.

"Oh? Call from Mom. Gotta run."

"Yeah. See you later, noona. Have a good break."

"Oh! I'll be at the school library all break."

"Library?"

"Yeah. I applied for a ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠work-study scholarship. So I can keep seeing you over break."

"I'm not going to the library."

"Hehe. I'll buy you something tasty. Come visit. Promise? See ya!"

Noona bounced off energetically.

With even her gone, being left alone in the empty school felt kinda lonely.

Bzzzzt!

My phone vibrated.

A text had arrived.

-What've you been up to lately?

'Soyoung? What's this about.'

I figured she'd been avoiding me out of embarrassment after peeing herself in my room last time.

But the sent date was three days ago?

It only just got here.

Damn Retro Phone.

'Three days late replying... Better call.'

I called Soyoung.

-Huh...? Oppa? Ahem! Hello?

"You texted, but my phone's crap, so it just arrived. Felt too late, so I called."

-Oh! Figures. You left me on read for ages.

"Yeah. Happens sometimes with this phone."

-Gotcha. Thought you'd ghosted me. Oppa, why haven't you come buy smokes lately?

"Bought a carton of Marlboro Reds last time. Still got a bunch left."

Excuses.

Pay had smoothed things over, but I couldn't erase her memory of pissing herself in my room.

I'd stayed away thinking she'd be uncomfortable, and it'd been a while since I'd seen her face.

-No texts, no store visits... Thought you hated me.

"Nah, what gave you that idea."

-Well, 'cause I made that huge mess in your room?

......Yeah, she might think that.

-What're you doing this weekend? Finals are over, so less busy, right?

"Yeah. No other plans."

-Then go to a movie with me.

"Movie?"

-Yeah. There's one I wanna see, but hate going alone.

"You sure it's okay with me?"

-Of course! I wanna go with you, oppa.

Sperm Pay's bodily reaction, I guess.

Soyoung seemed more forward than usual, but it was about time I got used to it.

"Sure. I'll get dinner then."

-Yay! I'll text the time and place!

A weekend date with Soyoung.

It was just a side effect of using Pay, not real flirting, but...

The anticipation melted away some of that earlier loneliness.

On my way out the main gate.

People up ahead kept glancing back at something.

Too early for someone to have fed the pigeons or whatever.

What was drawing all the stares?

I walked toward where their eyes were fixed.

A familiar silhouette.

Dyed blonde hair, tattoos fully on display in skimpy clothes.

Yang Sua was standing at the school gate.

'......Right. Totally forgot about her.'

Still an insane figure, bold outfit.

No wonder people stared—a bombshell like her in sexy clothes didn't fit at a school.

'Does she know someone here?'

Standing there at the gate, she looked exactly like someone here to shake people down.

It'd been so long, things felt awkward.

Her remembering our entire payment history made it uncomfortable.

'Pretend not to see... Pretend...'

I walked right past Sua, but felt a prickling stare from behind.

I glanced back.

"Eek!!"

Yang Sua's face was right there, glaring at me.

I stumbled, barely catching my balance.

"Pfft hahaha! What was that? Dancing?"

Sua burst out laughing.

Even after so long, her pretty face and those massive tits were unreal.

"Ah... Hey."

"What's with the formal talk?"

Sua gripped my arm tight so I couldn't escape.

"Haha... Yeah. Long time no see. Waiting for someone...?"

She kept staring, not letting go of my arm.

‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠

Heavy eyeliner and colored contacts made her look even scarier.

She remembered every Sperm Pay detail due to a glitch.

Seoyeon had said to avoid Sua until they fully figured out the magnetic field bug.

Her perception might suddenly vanish, slapping cuffs on her.

"Haha. Catch you later. I'm busy."

"Where you going? I've been waiting forever."

Sua yanked my arm.

She wrapped around it tight, clinging so I couldn't run.

Her huge tits enveloped my arm in soft pillowy warmth.

"......Me?"

"Yeah. Been waiting for you, oppa."

Sua looked up at me steadily.

Her big, clear eyes threatened to suck me in.

"We were supposed to meet at the PC cafe! Why didn't you show? No number. You have any idea how long I waited?"

Ah.

We still didn't have each other's numbers.

"You used a guest account at the PC cafe too!"

No member info, no way to contact.

Was she still working there?

"Still at that PC cafe?"

Hearing that, Sua pouted for a sec, then pinched and pulled both my cheeks.

"Eeeek!"

"Oppa! Casual speech! Casual!"

I'd slipped into formal without thinking.

Sua had said she didn't like younger people speaking formally to her? No, she was older but hated formal from elders? Wait, she said older people using formal on her felt off.

"You think I'd stick around that dump? I switched places."

Makes sense after what happened.

"Kept waiting in case you came back, planning to quit then. Worked an extra week at that shithole!"

"Degth it huht..."

Sua finally let go of my cheeks and kept talking.

"Still, I told the boss to pass a message if you showed."

"He knows my face?"

"Yeah. Boss saw the CCTV that day too. Described you as that dopey-looking guy, and he got it right away."

Right.

At least he didn't say sucker-faced.

"Said you had kinda a sucker vibe too."

Yeah.

Good job.

"So why wait for me?"

"What? You're a college student—don't you go out? Can't find you if there's nowhere to look!"

"I mostly stay home."

"Heard school was on break. If I didn't find you today, figured I'd never see you, so I camped at the gate."

"How'd you know when I'd come out? Been here long?"

"Since morning."

It was past 5 PM now.

I stared in shock, and she winked with a grin.

"Hehe. Kidding, obviously."

Yeah, figured.

"I'm starving! Died of hunger waiting. Buy me food first!"

"Outta nowhere??"

"Why? Got plans?"

"No, but..."

"Then we're good! Let's go!"

She flashed a bright smile and tugged my arm along briskly.

Her walk seemed a bit off.

'Said it was a joke, but she must've stood forever.'

Sua, in her short skirt and heels, had raw, red heels.
