Lend Me Your House
I couldn't sleep properly all night. Oh Ha-na kept tossing and turning beside me in nothing but her underwear, and the thought of her confession made my heart race too much for rest.
I stayed awake until 4 a.m. and managed only two hours of fitful sleep at most. She, on the other hand, slept soundly.
In the morning she made fried eggs and toast, helped me dress, and we went to the hospital together.
The moment we stepped inside, I ran into Seo Ji-hyun. Arms folded, she took one step toward me and asked straight out, "Kim Jun-young. Are you avoiding me these days?"
I flinched but forced a casual smile and waved it off. "Avoid you? Why would I avoid you, noona?"
Just then Oh Ha-na cut in from beside me. "Good morning, Dr. Seo~"
Seo Ji-hyun smiled warmly. "Oh Ha-na, nice to see you. Are you two coming in together?"
My body went rigid. I couldn't let Oh Ha-na answer that. "Ah, we just happened to meet in front of the hospital," I said as naturally as I could.
Seo Ji-hyun's eyes lingered on me with a subtle, knowing look.

Morning clinic started, but my head was a complete mess because of Oh Ha-na. I kept flipping to the wrong pages while trying to check patient charts. Her words from last night kept echoing in my mind.
I like you, Doctor.
I shook my head and tried to focus, only to drop the chart I was holding. Papers scattered across the floor.
"Resident Kim Jun-young, get it together," the attending physician snapped. I scrambled to gather the documents, cold sweat running down my back.
Even during examinations I stayed dazed. When a patient described their symptoms, I gave completely wrong answers.
"So, how long have you been having constipation?"
"Doctor, I'm here for hemorrhoid surgery consultation, not constipation."
I froze, then forced an awkward smile. Inside, my thoughts were spiraling. Her confession, the way she sat on my face while working the Aneros into me, the footjob, the command to lick up my own release while she stepped on my face—every scene refused to leave my head.
After somehow finishing the disastrous clinic, I glanced up while tidying charts and saw Oh Ha-na standing at the door, watching me with a sweet smile. She definitely knew I was distracted.

I couldn't avoid having lunch with Seo Ji-hyun today. She came looking for me before break time and asked me to eat with her. I had no excuse to refuse, so I reluctantly followed her to the cafeteria.
While we ate, she suddenly brought up an awkward topic. "How's the erectile dysfunction?"
I paused with my chopsticks halfway to my mouth. "Noona, I get hard just fine normally. It's only when I try to put it in that something feels off."
She smirked. "That's erectile dysfunction, you idiot."
At that moment a familiar, cheerful voice came from behind me. "Jun-young, you have erectile dysfunction?"
I whipped around in shock. Oh Ha-na. She sat down beside me as if it were the most natural thing in the world, pulled her chair closer, and started eating.
Seo Ji-hyun looked flustered. "Ha-na, you heard all that?"
Oh Ha-na grinned playfully, chopsticks between her lips. "Yes~ The topic sounded interesting."
Seo Ji-hyun sighed and spoke in her professional urologist tone. "Erectile dysfunction is something men feel embarrassed about, so please keep it a secret."
Oh Ha-na nodded brightly. "Of course~"
Then she added, "But Jun-young seems to get hard just fine, though?"
I nearly choked. At the same time, her hand slipped under the table and lightly brushed my crotch. I flinched and dropped my chopsticks.
Fortunately Seo Ji-hyun hadn't caught the last remark. She simply gave me a puzzled look while I picked up my chopsticks, pretending nothing happened. Sitting between the two women, I couldn't swallow another bite. This was what people meant by sitting on pins and needles.

After dragging my exhausted body home from an especially grueling day, I noticed a moving truck parked in front of my officetel. Someone must be moving in, I thought, until I saw a familiar face right in front of my door.
Oh Ha-na. Movers bustled around her, carrying boxes inside.
I frowned and approached one of the workers. "What's going on?"
Oh Ha-na answered instead, smiling brightly. "I'll be living here starting today, Doctor. Please take care of me~"
"...What?"
She pointed at the door as if it were obvious. "Hurry and open it~ We need to bring everything in!"
Stunned, I ended up unlocking the door anyway. From that moment my apartment turned into complete chaos. The movers carried boxes inside and began unpacking like it was normal.
"What the hell is this?" I shouted at Oh Ha-na, but she only smiled playfully, clearly amused by my reaction.
"Before I tell Dr. Seo and that Cho Soo-jin girl about your double life and how you get off from your ass, let me move in too. I'll clean and cook for you, Doctor~"
I couldn't speak. "That's not the point—"
One of the movers interrupted. "Where should we put this vanity, wardrobe, and microwave?"
Before I could answer, Oh Ha-na cheerfully took over. "Ah, I'll show you~"
She dashed inside, already directing the placement of furniture. I stood frozen in the doorway, completely lost.
Hours later, my once-minimalist studio had become Oh Ha-na's pink kingdom. A massive vanity replaced my computer desk, covered in cosmetics and perfume bottles. The air smelled sickeningly sweet. The wardrobe overflowed with dresses, blouses, skirts, and rows of women's lingerie—plus a pink bikini. Even my own closet had been invaded by feminine clothing. Only my underwear and the few men's shirts remained untouched.
The bed was now covered in pink bedding, cute character cushions, and giant stuffed animals. I clutched my head. This was no longer my home.
The bathroom was worse. My shampoo and body wash had vanished, replaced by floral-scented bottles, rose body wash, and unfamiliar women's products—pads, cotton pads, cleansing oil, a pink razor, and tools I had never seen before.
I burst out of the bathroom. Oh Ha-na sat on the sofa, beaming. "How is it, Doctor? Isn't it pretty? I decorated it in my style!"
I had no words. This was her pink kingdom now. My home smelled like her.
"Clean this up right now!" I yelled.
She didn't flinch. Instead she smiled calmly. "Then should I go ahead and tell everyone about your ass fetish and double-dating?"
I had no such fetish—she was just trying to embarrass me—but the part about double-dating was true. I froze.
"Are you blackmailing me right now?"
Oh Ha-na nodded with a bright grin. "Yes, I am. And be honest—you like me too. You want to live with me, don't you?"
"Huh? N-no, I don't!"
She studied my face with a playful smile. Honestly, I did like her. But I hated what she had done to my home.
