Chapter Title: I'll Show You My Dick
-----------------------------------------------------------------
It's past 11 p.m.
Though it's late, the resort's vibe means it's still prime time for fun.
Plenty of people are gathered in small groups at nearby pubs, cafes, and along the beach, chatting away.
Some couples walk hand in hand, others link arms with their faces nestled into shoulders, showering affection without a care.
We strolled naturally, taking it all in.
Jin Se-ah's head swiveled nonstop.
Her world had been limited to home, her agency, practice rooms, salons, and stages.
This lively, energetic beach scene was probably a first for her.
No wonder she kept whispering in my ear, arm linked with mine.
"That game looks fun. What kind is it?"
"Tae-hu, look at that. Those beers look so refreshing."
"There are so many couples."
What seems utterly ordinary to some felt like a precious dream to her.
Her head kept turning endlessly.
With her sky-blue hair tucked into a hat and no mask on, she stared openly enough that someone might recognize her.
Then she spotted something and suddenly stopped.
"……."
A couple on a mat, locked in a deep kiss.
Ignoring all the stares, they went at it, and Jin Se-ah's face flushed with embarrassment.
"Aren't they embarrassed?"
"When you're in love, other people fade away."
"Even so, it's outdoors."
"We did it earlier too."
"Wh-what? Don't bring that up."
"Got it. Lower your voice."
"You... seriously. Stop teasing. I'm embarrassed."
"You said it was just acting. So why be embarrassed?"
"Acting or not, it's still embarrassing."
"You took it pretty well for something embarrassing."
"Hey, you jerk!"
"Okay, okay. Shh. Shh."
Her cute expression as she quickly ducked her head made me want to tease more, but I spotted what looked like a bodyguard in the distance.
Jin Se-ah noticed too and gripped my arm tighter.
I pulled her closer, switching from arm link to shoulder.
Her hand naturally wrapped around my waist.
Not bad.
Thanks to that, no suspicions.
"This feels kinda fun, doesn't it?"
"You like the thrill, huh?"
"Not always, but... no one recognizing me makes it exciting."
She beamed genuinely.
Even with the mask, her beauty shone through. Must be those pretty eyes.
"Take off the hat, and you'd get caught instantly, right?"
"Even just the mask—don't tempt fate. My job's on the line."
"Don't worry. My life's at stake too. I won't."
"But how long are you gonna keep your hand on my waist?"
"Hmm. Walking like a real couple openly? People actually pay less attention."
Few eye random couples unless they're acquaintances.
"Can I put mine on your waist too?"
"Huh? Oh? Uh... yeah."
Jin Se-ah averted her gaze, barely consenting.
I gently pulled her slim waist into my grasp.
It fit perfectly in my palm. She pressed her hat down and bowed her head as we pressed close.
She's embarrassed.
But damn, her waist feels incredible. Wrapping my arms around the one I'd only seen on TV.
"You wanna be Jola Man or something?"
"Why? Am I too skinny?"
"No muscle at all on your waist."
"......What? I work out hard! Eek!"
I pinched playfully, feeling more.
"Why jump?"
"N-no. Don't touch like that."
Even as I slid my hand up and down deliberately, her only resistance was a little squirm.
Feels so good.
We hit a mountain path.
Safer now. But we didn't let go.
It's so warm. I secretly love being held by Tae-hu. I want to keep walking like this forever.
Reading that desire, I saw no need to pull away.
We had the perfect excuse: pretending to be lovers.
Though we'd left the Level 3 Corruption Space, my arousal hadn't dropped a bit.
No—it was climbing higher.
Imparts a 'Level 3 Corruption' effect on the target. For 90 minutes, the caster's face lingers in their mind, body heating up.
Cost: 15 Points
Because I'd used the upgraded Corruption skill.
That must be why she wanted to keep walking with me like this.
Gradually addicted to the feeling of being protected, loved, cared for.
"How far we going?"
"To the top there."
"That's far. Won't it take over two hours?"
"Doesn't have to be exactly two."
"True, but if we're out too long, I'll get in huge trouble later."
"You're getting scolded anyway—might as well enjoy a bit more."
"Maybe? Okay then."
She grinned and hugged me tighter.
Then she stared at me blankly.
"What's up?"
"C-can we hold hands?"
"Suddenly?"
"N-no. Just... it looks more like lovers, right?"
"Here."
How could I refuse that?
I offered my hand, heart pounding, and she grabbed it instantly.
She smiled wide, shaking it vigorously like a soldier.
"Your hand's warm."
"Holding hands with Jin Se-ah. I could die happy right now."
"Feel honored. My fans spend fortunes just for this."
"Yes, yes. I do."
Maybe she wanted a taste of real couple vibes, even just a little.
Jin Se-ah beamed, her happy expression drawing out my own smile.
Laughing at each other as we walked, we soon reached our spot.
We passed the secluded spot where I'd been with Yu Eun-joo and climbed higher.
"Wow! This view is gorgeous!"
The vast sea, sandy beach, and glittering resort sprawled below.
Jin Se-ah let go and ran to the edge, gasping in awe.
"Tae-hu! Thanks. This is the best!"
"That's why I come here alone sometimes."
"It's amazing. The whole resort, the beautiful sea."
She loved it, squatting on a nearby rock to gaze longer.
I sat carefully beside her.
"That suffocating, huh?"
"Yeah. Practice, stages, home—every day."
"I don't follow celebs, so I can't imagine how tough."
"Morning shoot? Up at dawn for makeup. Can't eat dinner fearing a swollen face. Shoot hungry, grab kimbap on the move. Repeat."
She poured out her grievances.
Way more stifling than I thought.
Only three hours of sleep a day, often in the car.
Overseas shoots? Hell.
I got why she craved this escape.
Sacrificing sleep meant that much pent-up stress.
"If it's that bad, tell them you need a break."
"Useless. 'Plenty of time later. Strike while iron's hot. Not everyone gets this chance.' They ignore me."
"Then flip out. Scream like a madwoman."
"......Think that fits my image?"
"Gotta go nuclear for them to listen. Expecting understanding without action is greedy, no?"
"Maybe."
"Asia tour, right? After, demand a week off. Threaten retirement—they'll cave."
"Pfft. Your words give me courage. Maybe I will."
"If they say yes, come here. Our resort's perfect for a week off."
"Hmm."
Jin Se-ah stared intently.
She smiled sweetly.
"If I come, you'll play with me the whole time? Sneak me around like today?"
"I'll take a week off too."
"For real?"
"Just get permission. I'm serious."
I mean it.
A week with Jin Se-ah? I'd make vacation out of thin air.
We chatted idly, blooming with laughter.
"So, can I make my wish now?"
"Wish?"
"You'd grant it for helping me rebel."
"What is it?"
"Truth game. Up for it?"
"That curious about me?"
"Duh. I'm Jin Se-ah. I barely know anything beyond the media stuff."
What's impressive about Jin Se-ah: her Lust/Arousal Level hit 90.
Unlike Lee Eun-ae, no signs of heat.
Team Leader or Yu Eun-joo showed cracks past 90.
She restrains, endures her emotions masterfully.
Heart racing now. Body warming. Knows something's off. Thinks of me obsessively. Yet acts unfazed.
So, use the wish to draw it out.
"What're you curious about?"
"You're a virgin, right?"
"......Damn. That what you wanted?"
"Just answer."
"How many questions?"
"Five."
"Deal. Yeah, I'm a virgin. Said it on variety already."
"No one buys it. All think it's PR."
"It's true. Never dated."
"Fine, I believe you."
"......Believing so quick kinda hurts."
"Had to."
"Why?"
"Your kissing sucked."
"......No. Th-that was acting."
"It sucked. Even for acting. Why so bad with tongue?"
"You......jerk......You said I did good earlier."
"Just being polite."
Jin Se-ah's face burned red.
It's working.
Memories flooding: our kiss, groping her chest, her hand on my dick.
The second kiss, clinging to me in the sea.
"Second question. Virgin means no sex either?"
"I-I have!"
25 years old.
No sex by now wounds pride?
She yelled it out.
Fun reaction—couldn't help smiling.
Lie or truth? Perfect for teasing either way.
"Caught lying adds questions."
"I have! For real!"
"Then why can't you tell dick from balls?"
Her eyes widened at the curveball.
"Wh-wh-what? What'd you say? Now?"
"Dick and balls. When you grabbed mine earlier. Couldn't tell shaft from sack, squeezed wrong. Hurt like hell."
"N-no! No! I-I just got confused!"
Her flustered face is gold.
Record this for Vlog—viral.
"You really have?"
"Yes! What about you? Have you?"
"Plenty."
"......Dated?"
"Once."
"But lots of sex?"
"Everyone does now. Oh, right—you wouldn't know."
"I do too!"
"Really? Entertainments a jungle—they say. You've done it."
"Not that crazy!"
She shrieked, huffing.
Might get hit if I push, but no stopping.
"Weird. No dating but sex? Easy to misread."
"Ugh, you jerk! All questions like this?"
"You keep lying. Ashamed of being virgin? I'd like it more, as a fan."
"......What? What do you mean?"
"A virgin idol with experience? Betrayal. Last one—promise? From a fan."
My serious tone stopped her outburst.
She bit her lip softly, head down.
"......Yeah. None. Happy now, you bastard?"
"Thanks. Feels better."
"What even—comfort? Geez."
"Knowing my crush is pure matters."
"Wh-who nitpicks that?"
"Then why hide it?"
"J-just... embarrassing. This age, untouched."
"So, wanna try?"
"O-of course. Dating, love—I want it too."
Jin Se-ah's face glowed like lava, lip bitten.
Why so shy if she called it a lie?
Harassment from a stranger, but high Favorability keeps her from disgust.
Boosts my confidence.
"Never seen a guy's body then?"
"Huh? I-I have."
"Not shirtless. Down there. What you touched."
"......What're you saying? Suddenly."
Then her desire flashed.
Why ask that? Embarrassing. But that hard feeling earlier... Was that it? Never seen one, but...
Jackpot.
Can't let this slide.
"Never been curious? For real?"
"......Dunno."
"Wanna see one now?"
"What?"
"Don't you wanna see a guy's dick? I'll show you."
I activated Honesty on the spot.
And shockingly—
"Yeah. I do. Ahh?"
High Lust/Arousal? She blurted her true feelings, then clapped her hand over her mouth.
I grinned and stood abruptly.
This skill's insane.
