Chapter Title: The Peaceful Summer Vacation is Coming to an End

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

After coming back from the movies with Yoon Soyoung, time flew by.

I thought college vacation was pretty long.

But it felt so short, and before I knew it, the start of the semester was approaching.

After that day, I diligently built up my payment records.

I never left any limit unused, and especially focused on those who had piled up a lot of body affection toward me.

The limit exceeded two million won, and points had stacked up plenty.

Since I spent the vacation more fulfilling and busily than ever before, time passed quickly too.

'Installment payments...'

This was a newly unlocked point feature.

True to its simple name, there wasn't much explanation.

'I'll figure it out when I use it later.'

I was thinking of using the installment function to replace my old laptop.

And then there was the camera function, whose proper use I still didn't fully understand.

As I fiddled around with the app, Yoon Soyoung sitting across from me spoke up.

"Oppa, are you still using that phone? It barely works right. Why not get a new one while you're at it?"

"You couldn't buy this phone even if you had the money."

I had come to Kimbap Nara with Yoon Soyoung to grab a bite.

She and I had grown much closer during vacation from all the frequent body payments.

We started going out for meals together pretty often.

"Even the budget phones these days are pretty good. Mine's a budget one too."

Soyoung held out her phone.

On the back of the case, the sticker photo we'd taken together was attached like a treasure.

"You planning to keep carrying that photo around?"

"Of course!"

The day Yoon Soyoung and I went to the movies.

We took some Life Four Cuts.

I'd been all nervous since it was my first time on a date with a girl, but she said it was her first time going out with a guy too, so not to worry, and dragged me inside to snap the pics.

"Lately, tons of guys at the convenience store have been asking for my number. Having this photo makes me look like I've got a boyfriend, so it's nice."

Soyoung smiled as she looked at our photo together.

"It's kinda like a good luck charm. I like it."

"Soyoung, you got no plans to date? Aren't you brushing off all those guys coming your way too harshly?"

"What're you talking about? I like someone already."

"Who?"

"I absolutely can't tell you that."

This was how it always went.

Anyone could see she was head over heels, acting just like a couple, but she never actually confessed.

This was the "implication" of Sperm Pay that Lee Seoyeon had mentioned.

Sellers accumulate body affection and develop feelings beyond just liking, but they never confess.

She'd told me to pay and use them comfortably since everything resets when the pay is recovered.

But I planned to rack up records diligently and snag the memory preservation right on the final test day.

"Your food's here."

Soyoung had ordered spicy noodles, and I'd gotten pork cutlet.

She pulled the pork cutlet toward herself, picked up the knife, and started slicing it up.

"Stay put. I'll cut it all for you."

Gratefully, she offered me the neatly ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠bite-sized pieces.

"Eat up. Want some of mine?"

"Nah, you go ahead."

The first time I'd met Yoon Soyoung, she'd seemed prickly and rude.

But the Yoon Soyoung I knew now was incredibly considerate.

And way too good to me.

"Look over here."

"Another photo? That camera doesn't even make things look pretty."

I pulled out the Retro Phone's camera and snapped her while she was eating.

I still didn't get any other functions since the camera unlocked.

So I'd been snapping pics of everyone around me diligently.

"My face looks so weird. Take it again."

I fired up the camera once more and shot her again.

That's when a notification popped up in the app.

'Correction function?'

A camera correction app had been added to the Retro Phone's main screen.

The app was filled with all the photos I'd taken of Yoon Soyoung so far.

'So that's what this function does.'

It wouldn't make sense if it actually allowed plastic surgery-level changes.

Still, it seemed like a pretty neat function, so I experimented with it.

I opened the photo I'd just taken of Yoon Soyoung.

First, I tried brightening her skin tone a bit.

Yeah, figured.

Her skin already looked as bright as it could get.

Next, I adjusted the skin gloss.

Right before my eyes, Yoon Soyoung's skin took on a glossy sheen following the app's correction effect.

'Whoa... that's wild.'

Next up, I bumped up her bust size.

As I fiddled with the controls, Soyoung's chest swelled.

It looked like it went from her original full C-cup to over D-cup.

Jackpot.

Gotta try it out next time when she's stripped.

Then I tapped the auto-correction feature.

'Hmm... nothing changed?'

Auto-correction seemed to be AI-analyzed to tweak to the most ideal appearance.

They say pretty girls don't change much even with corrections.

After messing around a bit, I hit the restore button to reset everything.

"What're you staring at so intently in the middle of eating?"

"Yeah. Your boobs were huge just now, Soyoung."

"Huh? Ew... that's creepy."

"Why? You don't like it?"

"Yeah. My shoulders already ache as it is. I think right now is perfect."

Fair point.

Yoon Soyoung's breasts were just the right size for her frame—perfectly shaped and not too big.

No need for me to mess with them.

Finally, I tapped the "Lee Seoyeon Recommended Special Correction" in the correction app menu.

'Lee Seoyeon Recommended Special Correction, huh. The name alone makes me uneasy...'

As soon as I hit recommended correction, graffiti started appearing all over Yoon Soyoung's body.

"......?"

Yoon Soyoung was wearing a crop top, so the writing below her navel was visible.

'Lee Jinwoo Exclusive Impregnation Pussy'

'Thank you for the creampie.♡'

......

Recommended correction, my ass.

Anything with Lee Seoyeon's name on it needs a warning label.

"Ugh... my stomach just felt kinda itchy for a sec. What's that? Mosquito?"

"Nah, don't worry about it."

I shoved some pork cutlet in my mouth.

The camera correction thing.

Bound to come in handy someday.

Yoon Soyoung picked up some kimchi with her chopsticks and waited for me to finish chewing the pork cutlet.

As soon as I swallowed, she fed it to me.

'Etching vulgar crap like that onto such a sweet girl.'

Maybe that's why it turned me on more.

Imagining Yoon Soyoung stripped bare with lewd words scrawled on her body, I felt my dick stirring a little.

"Ah... my butt feels itchy too, and my chest is tingling."

Lee Seoyeon.

How far did she scribble?

I hurriedly reset Soyoung's body to normal.

As we were finishing up our meal, a woman who looked familiar approached.

"Hey! Aren't you Lee Jinwoo?"

".......?"

Who was she again?

Staring at her, her face rang a bell.

Flashy looks, slim figure.

The girl who was our school's promo model and active on Ttangsta and NerTube too.

Her name was ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠Bae Jiyoon.

She was in my incoming class.

"Dude, I almost didn't recognize you. Weren't you always kinda beta-looking? Your vibe's different now?"

"What're you on about? I'm the same. Long time no see."

A girl I wasn't on good terms with.

Queen bee fit her perfectly, and naturally, she had tons of guy admirers.

Predators like her spot pushovers like me and Jinsoo in an instant.

Back in freshman year, she'd sniffed out my fear of pretty girls and gaslit us masterfully.

In group projects and assignments, she worked me like a dog.

Eventually I caught on and broke free, but queen bees don't let escaped prey go easy.

She gaslit all the guys around that me and Jinsoo were total losers not worth associating with.

In the end, we got pushed out of the department.

Well.

We were losers anyway.

"Who's the girl? Girlfriend? Nah, no way someone this cute's with a loser like you."

"Shut up. If you're here to eat, eat quiet and leave."

"Rude much? To a classmate you haven't seen in ages. I'm transferring back this semester. We'll bump into each other a lot now."

"Cool."

I'd heard the rumors.

She'd taken a leave to grind SNS activity hard.

Last year, she even won first place in the local grape girl contest.

She's gaining fame, even got a fan club.

Some classmates were already buzzing about her return.

But I couldn't stand her.

"I don't wanna hang with you either, but what can I do? Hana unnie's tight with trash like you."

This Bae Jiyoon idolized Hana noona.

So she must hate that a loser like me was close to noona.

"Excuse me. I don't know who you are, but you're oppa's friend? Your attitude's super annoying."

Yoon Soyoung was the type who wouldn't back down even in a staring contest with Jo Ayoung.

She never tolerated crap like this.

"Oh my. We're always bickering like this. Sorry if it bothered you."

The queen bee smiling sweetly, managing her image.

"Jinwoo, your girlfriend's cute?"

"Not my girlfriend."

Even if she transfers back, different grades mean we won't cross paths ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠much.

Dealing with her already had me tired.

"See you at school after classes start, Jinwoo!"

She strutted off, showing off her sleek back view, heels clicking.

Last person I wanted to run into.

Seeing her pack kimbap to go, looked like she'd started living nearby.

"Oppa. If that bitch bugs you, tell me."

"Why? What're you gonna do?"

"Cement her ass and dump her in the ocean, duh."

"......"

Body affection is scary.

She said something straight out of Jo Ayoung's playbook without batting an eye.
