Chapter Title: Girls, Minwoo and I Started OnlyFans
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Girls, Minwoo and I started OnlyFans
The living room was set up with delivery food and snacks.
Drinks, soju, and beer too.
Kim Sujin placed her hands on her waist and tilted her head.
"Hmm. Is it too little?"
"No. It's plenty."
It felt a bit modest right now, but once the others brought stuff and we ordered more delivery... it would be about the same as last time.
Remembering how we'd cracked open the soju back then, I could already feel the hangover creeping in.
As I rubbed my temples, Sujin glanced over from the side and snickered.
"Hey. Don't worry."
"About what?"
"I won't drink much today."
"-That's what you said last time too."
Sujin giggled.
I glanced around cautiously before speaking up.
"...Today, for real, I'll just have a little and head to bed first if I get sleepy."
Sujin looked embarrassed instead and asked.
"I went a bit overboard last time, huh?"
"..."
Could you really brush off taking turns fucking a passed-out drunk guy as "a bit overboard"?
A naughty hand smacked my ass with a sharp smack.
Ah.
"Hey. Think positive. Thanks to that, we started OnlyFans, right? And it's going well."
"...Yeah."
"Hmm hmm hmm♪ Oh, should I set out some wooden chopsticks~?"
Whoa, what was this? For real.
'She didn't even ask me to do it.'
Sujin looked in a great mood.
It was because she'd heard from Yujeong earlier that an evening shift spot had opened up at the cafe.
I approached Sujin as she grabbed the chopsticks.
"If I'm making things awkward or whatever, should I crash somewhere else for the night? Or just stay in your room?"
"Euuuum♪ Don't be ridiculous~♪"
"..."
"Chugging beers with Kim Minwoo is so much fun. Can't do it without you~"
"I have a 9 a.m. class tomorrow..."
"Hey. Is college the issue right now?"
It is... Tuition ain't cheap.
Sujin crossed her arms under her chest and said.
"I told you clearly, right? Put OnlyFans ahead of college."
"...?"
What did drinking have to do with OnlyFans?
As I gave her a puzzled look, Kim Sujin smacked her lips and spoke.
"Once the girls get here later-"
Right then,
Ding. Ding. Ding. Ding.
The door lock beeped, and the door swung open.
It was Choi Yujeong.
"Welcome, customer."
She came in with plastic bags in both hands.
My solar plexus twinged on reflex, and I rushed over to take the bags.
Yujeong flashed a proud smile as she handed them off.
'Whoa, how much booze did she buy?'
The convenience store bags held a few snacks and were stuffed full of liquor bottles.
Yujeong crossed the living room to Sujin and raised one hand high.
"Nice to meet you, coworker."
"Haha. Take good care of me, sunbae."
Clap. High-five.
"You talked to the boss?"
"Yeah. Interview tomorrow at 1."
"I do 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. You'll do noon to 8. Someone else comes in when I finish at 3."
"Yeah, I heard."
"But you sure it's okay? No afternoon classes?"
"One, but it's fine. It's once a week, so the boss said he'd cover it."
Yujeong beamed proudly.
"I showed him your photo, and he okayed it right away."
"Nice. It's all about connections, huh."
Yeah. Connections...
While the two chatted about the cafe gig, I set out the booze Yujeong had bought for the drinking session.
"Hey. Kim Minwoo."
Choi Yujeong called out suddenly, and I jumped, turning my head.
"Yeah?"
"Why don't you ever come hang at the cafe? You only show up running Sujin's errands. Come by sometime?"
"Uh..."
"Not when you're busy. That pisses me off."
"..."
What did she want from me?
Thud.
Yujeong ran up and kicked my ass with her foot.
"Gahk."
"Quit being a drama queen. You just thought, 'What does she want from me,' didn't you?"
"Nooo..."
Was she a mind reader or what?
I rubbed my ass, sore from the ex-track star hopeful.
Yujeong plopped down next to me, legs crossed tailor-style.
"Hey, Sujin. Come on. Let's have a shot."
"Ayoung's coming soon."
"That girl's got main character syndrome, she'll be late. Let's start without her."
"Maybe?"
Sujin came over and sat next to me.
Yujeong silently held out a glass to me.
'Fuck...'
I grabbed a bottle opener, cracked a beer, and filled her glass right away.
"Minwoo. What do you think?"
"...About what."
"Ayoung always showing up late. Even you think it's main character syndrome, right?"
"..."
No doubt if I agreed, she'd run and tattle to Ayoung later.
"...She could just be running late."
Choi Yujeong punched my side.
"Guhk."
"Like hell she is."
Sujin poured soju into a beer mug and said.
"Heyyy. Don't hit Minwoo. No hitting~."
Yujeong suddenly set down her mug and stroked my side.
"Right. Minwoo. Sorry."
She'd hit me out of habit, but then remembered she'd asked me to find her a room, so this was her backpedaling.
Just then, the door lock beeped again.
The door opened, and Lee Ayoung walked in. Spotting us, she yelled.
"Whoa. You disloyal bitches, for real."
"Hurry up. I was looking out the window and saw you coming, so we just cracked one open."
Choi Yujeong threw out a smooth lie.
"Tch."
Ayoung joined the drinking circle and sat next to Yujeong.
The four of us sat in a semicircle in front of the TV.
Ayoung alternated glares between Sujin and Yujeong with a pouty expression, then fixed her eyes on me sitting between them.
'Why... again. What did I even do?'
"Alright. Glasses up."
Sujin handed me and Ayoung each a freshly mixed somac.
Yujeong raised her glass and said.
"Is this our first time drinking together since... that thing last time?"
Ayoung laughed awkwardly.
"We drank together the night before last. Got dementia?"
"Huh? When? Oh. Oh. Right. The day Minwoo that punk was washing blankets?"
Yujeong smacked my thigh.
Glance.
Ayoung's gaze dropped coldly to my thigh.
Kim Sujin raised her beer mug and said.
"Anyway, cheers~"
"Cheers~"
Yujeong clinked glasses, and Ayoung and I followed a beat late.
Gulp gulp.
As expected from a bunch of boozehounds, they downed their glasses in one go.
I sipped about half, gauging the mood, and went to set mine down when Yujeong threw her arm around my shoulder.
"Kim Minwoo. You gonna half-ass the first shot?"
"Yeah, Minwoo. Gotta do the first one right."
Ayoung tilted her head with a smile.
That look was like a cat right before it pounced—terrifying.
I brought the glass back to my lips.
Grab.
Sujin caught my arm.
"Don't wanna drink? Then don't."
Choi Yujeong and Lee Ayoung, who'd been smiling at me, turned their eyes to Sujin.
Their mouths were still smiling. Creepy.
"Drink later."
Sujin said that and clapped her hands.
"Okay. Shots done. Pay attention."
I smartly set my glass down.
Yujeong and Ayoung's expressions softened, curiosity blooming on their faces.
Kim Sujin wasn't the type to call for attention like this normally.
'No way.'
I'd wondered earlier what drinking had to do with OnlyFans.
'Now? Nah?'
Sujin exchanged a look with me, sighed deeply, and scratched her nape awkwardly.
"I have something to tell you girls."
My face must've looked panicked because Yujeong and Ayoung's hardened.
They alternated glances between me and Sujin before saying in unison.
"No way."
"You two dating?"
Sujin scowled.
"Ugh, you bitches. There's limits to jokes."
The tension drained from their faces.
'That reassuring, huh. Sujin stans as always.'
Ayoung bit her nail habitually and asked.
"Then what?"
"Sujin, that-"
Before I could stop her, Sujin blurted out what she'd prepared.
"Girls. Minwoo and I started OnlyFans."
Ah... she said it.
"..."
"..."
Choi Yujeong and Lee Ayoung just sat there blankly... frozen.
Had their already slow brains finally stalled?
Their lack of reaction was starting to worry me when Yujeong snapped to and said.
"Started... means you decided to do it together and made an account now?"
"Nah. We already filmed a few of us fucking and uploaded them."
Kim Sujin declared proudly.
My throat went dry all of a sudden, so I gulped down the somac left in my glass.
Lee Ayoung, eyes closed, huffed through her nose and slowly opened them.
She glared at me with contempt and muttered.
"Kim Minwoo, you bastard broke in while I was asleep, raped me, filmed it, and blackmailed me into OnlyFans or you'd spread it. Right?"
...Listen to her.
But still.
They didn't know Sujin's family situation, so it made sense they'd think that.
Otherwise, there was no reason for Sujin to film porn with me.
Yujeong reached for an empty beer bottle upside down.
"No. It's not like that."
I stopped her quick.
Sujin said.
"Yujeong. No. It's not."
"Then what? Why the hell would you film porn with Kim Minwoo?"
Lee Ayoung looked pissed off.
Understandable.
She thought I wasn't good enough for Kim Sujin.
Which was true, honestly.
Sujin took a swig straight from the soju bottle and wiped her mouth.
"Just. Life was boring. Seemed fun. And if it blows up, you make bank. I suggested it to Kim Minwoo first."
Choi Yujeong grabbed a fistful of my hair.
"Ow. Ow."
"You fucker. She said let's do it, and you were like sweet? Didn't even try to stop her?"
"No. I-"
Sujin cut in from the side.
"No. He tried to stop me. I forced it."
With Sujin intervening, Yujeong let go like she couldn't win.
Kim Sujin continued.
"Even going to a good college and studying hard, I crunched the numbers on how much I'd make. OnlyFans blowing up seemed better. That's what hit me."
The living room filled only with the low TV drone.
"And conveniently, I'd already done it twice with Kim Minwoo because of that punishment game. Figured he'd be okay for it."
"Sujin. Even so. This is a bit..."
Lee Ayoung bit a trembling nail.
Kim Sujin shrugged.
"Even so, we've only uploaded two videos, and check sub count now?"
She turned to me.
I scratched my brow and said.
"Just over 300."
"Yeah. 300 in 3-4 days since uploading?"
Choi Yujeong's eyes went wide beside us.
"300? 3 million won?"
Kim Sujin nodded seriously.
"Sure, after taxes, gear costs, splitting with Kim Minwoo, it's not-"
"Splitting with Kim Minwoo?"
Lee Ayoung cut in.
"Yeah. Why?"
"Hey. You gotta take at least 7 or 8. Why 50-50?"
"Filming and uploading porn's illegal. Minwoo's got something that keeps our account from getting flagged. And."
Sujin nodded toward my crotch and continued.
"He's putting in the work on camera too."
"..."
"..."
The living room sank into silence again.
To break the awkwardness, Kim Sujin laughed and said.
"This is all because of you girls."
"What?"
"Why us?"
Lee Ayoung and Choi Yujeong looked baffled.
"If we three hadn't done that thing that day, it wouldn't have come to this..."
"..."
"..."
Both went quiet for some reason.
A flicker of regret crossed their faces.
Guilt for leading Sujin down this path?
I wasn't sure.
Kim Sujin cleared her throat and said.
"Ahem. So, I need a favor from you two. You gotta do it."
"...?"
"...?"
I could guess what was coming, so I instinctively covered my eyes with my hands.
Ah. I ain't looking.
No confidence to face their reactions.
Sujin's voice came from beside me.
"You girls. Do it raw with Minwoo just once each."
