Chapter Title: Friday Poker Rescue
-----------------------------------------------------------------
It's Friday!
Just one more hour of class, and I'm heading home.
Truth be told, there's nothing much to do even if I go home...
There was a new game that looked fun. Maybe I should give it a try.
The third welcome party for new students...
It's just code for rounding up people to drink.
I went to the first one last time, but it wasn't a great experience.
I huddled in a corner, sipping booze and watching my step until I bailed.
As an introvert, just being there drained every ounce of energy from my body...
I heard the second one had a huge dropout rate. By the third or fourth, it'll probably just be the real social butterflies left. Seems like that's how they filter...
?
What the hell.
I ignored the nonstop notification pings. Why does this feel ominous? Why do I get the sense she's calling me again?
N... No, I'm staying home to game today. Gaming, I said!
Shit...
If I keep ignoring, it'll escalate to call bombing and text spam.
Worst case, she might show up at school...?
Better to just read KakaoTalk before that headache hits.
Her mental game's completely shattered, huh?
She's always just sent curt "come" or "go" messages before. This is a first.
But last time I won her 300k, and now she's blown another 200k on top of that.
Yi Ju-ha, sprinting straight toward gambling hell...
I tossed out an excuse even though I wasn't going.
The chat blew up immediately.
Fuck. Knew it.
How's she buying booze after blowing all her cash?
I can picture her cracking open two or three bottles of soju and munching shrimp crackers as a side...
But what about that OnlyFans? It's been a while since I uploaded. Any money come in?
A blank message flew in.
What... the hell? Feels like I fucked up...
Fuck... Fine, I'll go. I said I'm going.
Weekend's free anyway... I can just hit up a PC bang for gaming...
Yeah, fuck, like what choice do I have? If she says come, I come. That smug vibe.
This bitch! Gonna teach her a lesson down there!? I fantasized. But if I tried shoving it in, she'd bite it off...
"Sigh."
I glanced out the window for no reason.
Here I am at university, and the only one keeping me entertained is Yi Ju-ha.
Not sure if it's entertainment, though.
Ding-dong.
Yi Ju-ha's place, front door.
I rang the bell, but on closer look, the door was already ajar.
Too lazy to even close it, huh. Kinda risky... What if someone just barges in?
Of course, hard to imagine anyone overpowering Yi Ju-ha. Still, this is too defenseless...
"You're here..."
"Y-yeah."
I shut the door behind me. A faint booze scent hit me.
Beer...
"Fuck..."
There she was, sprawled on the floor, hair a mess.
...Why not use the perfectly fine bed?
"My money..."
Full-blown gambler now.
Mentally wrecked, the picture-perfect image of a wiped-out high roller.
I sighed and plopped down next to her.
"How many hands did you play to lose it all?"
"Fuck if I know..."
She's in no state to learn Texas Hold'em right now.
I was stumped on where to even start anyway...
Now it's clear: the "teach me" was just an excuse for "win it back for me!" Tch.
"Lemme see your phone."
Yi Ju-ha handed it over limply while lying there.
Those smudges... tear stains?
"Hmm..."
The Hold'em site was pinned right on the homepage.
Account balance: virtual account at -200k.
These gambling sites are so accommodating these days. Even negative balances allowed...
"Mind if I play a bit?"
"Right now?"
"Just a taste."
At my words, Yi Ju-ha sluggishly sat up and scooted next to me.
Ugh... booze breath.
"Beer?"
"...Nah."
Can she even focus drinking? I wanna dissect this girl's brain.
I checked how many active rooms there were first.
Pretty packed for 5 PM.
These sites usually peak evenings or late nights.
But this many at 5 PM... must be a big operation. That many people playing? Hmm.
I hit confirm.
Joining doesn't mean you have to play right away.
You can spectate.
Though idle too long and you auto-kick... Great for gauging table flow.
Host uses it to bait spectators into thinking "looks winnable?"
'Check.'
'Call.'
'Call.'
Cyber gambling sound effects rang out again.
Feels awkward even though I heard them a few days ago.
"Hmm..."
These sites are definitely risky.
No way to know if the card shuffle program's fair.
Admins could manipulate mid-hand for all you know.
That's why you shouldn't gamble carelessly.
No matter your skill, you can't predict how they'll "rig" it.
Gambling's about skill, but checking for cheats is priority one.
"Hmm."
I browsed rooms, scoping vibes.
Hard for one admin to oversee this many.
But who knows.
Most could be fake AI bots except a few.
Or multiple ops handling simultaneously.
'What can ya do...'
You know the risks but step in anyway. That's a casino.
Once you're in, it's on you.
If you're gonna win, win by any means.
Overcome cheats, scams, whatever.
Or don't step foot in at all.
'This room looks decent.'
Playstyle doesn't scream bot.
Room for mind games beyond pure luck.
'Join.'
Not going all-out like last time.
Just recover her losses.
Leave maybe -50k though...
Go positive, and she'll dive back in thrilled. Never go plus.
"Phew..."
Focus for now.
Defensive mindset, not sweep-the-table aggressive.
"Phew..."
"Done?"
"Yeah..."
Negative balance has limits.
No seed money means no bold bets.
Raises and all-ins? Forget it. Limits mind games.
Bluffing barely works...
Still, lucked into 150k target.
When I dropped another 50k early on a test hand, Yi Ju-ha nearly foamed at the mouth, eyes rolling back.
Another 50k loss and she might've jumped...
"Phew..."
Clock read 10:30 PM already.
Nearly five and a half hours.
Last time, 30k in under two. But this was the real miracle.
Pulling this off from negative? Not easy.
"Phew... 150k..."
Yi Ju-ha seemed a bit disappointed deep down.
Makes sense. Last time 300k quick; expected full recovery minimum.
Possible with focus, but am I doing it again? She'd blow it all anyway...
"Going negative ain't easy. No seed money.
That's why best to avoid gambling altogether..."
She won't listen to "don't gamble."
Still, her face brightened up from before.
Was a total life-ruined mess earlier; now she's walking around.
"Hey. Beer?"
No more poker tonight... Beer should be fine.
I paused, thinking.
Her account feels capped. Like... managed somehow.
My phone? Could rake way more easy.
My account, eat 1 mil before lockout...
'...Ah.'
Gambling's a no-go from the start.
I shook off the thought and checked OnlyFans.
"So, how much from OnlyFans?"
"...20k."
20k? Pathetic.
Thought her looks would pull 300k easy.
1k per vid, 10-20% fees, pure profit per sale.
Means about 22 buyers.
No subs since no ongoing content.
"Hmm..."
Her face and body should've sold better. Weird.
But kinda expected.
Like I said before, our vid lacks "hook."
No strengths, no flaws. Just generic amateur footage, nothing more or less.
No compelling draw for viewers.
"Hmm..."
Too many hot bods and wild alternatives.
Japanese stuff unbeatable.
Fresh, intense, killer bodies. Us nobodies can't compete.
'Story.'
Yeah. Need a story.
Neither of us has skills or techniques.
Just thrust, shake, cum. Fine for me, lacking for watchers.
Not full scripted porn.
But some tantalizing setup needed.
Basic concept or acting.
Or overwhelming physique/looks.
'Lately...'
Haven't watched much porn recently, but recalling trends...
Recent hits had a "violent" edge.
Mild sex, fake moans, tame fucking? Oversaturated and outdated.
Rough handling, merciless pounding. That stuff trended.
Not consensual-feeling, more like rape vibes...
'Glance.'
I snuck a peek at Yi Ju-ha.
Fuck. No way she'd agree.
"It's just filming, let's get rough?" Yeah right.
Break in while she's asleep and pounce.
Or slap her face when she acts reluctant, force it in.
Smack tits wild, gut punch till she drops, still rail her.
No chance.
Grab her hair, she'd chomp my dick off...
'Reverse it then.'
Flip the script.
Me getting wrecked by Yi Ju-ha.
Girl dominating guy concept.
AV limits there. Feels scripted.
But make it raw real.
Sadistic girl slapping guy, gut-punching? Rare even in porn.
Reason it's niche: doesn't turn most on...
Plus, plausibility sucks. Delinquent banging loser? Nah.
Loser snaps, beats and bangs delinquent? Maybe...
Just mirror our situation?
Delinquent desperate for cash, spots me. Films and sells me for money.
Fuck, sudden self-loathing...
Anyway, demand exists.
Niche pervs out there. Just guy-beating scenes could sell!
Scarce supply means buzz once it hits, steady fans. My 20 years of porn watching says so!
Title crucial. No more lazy ones...
Something with concept: Delinquent and Loser vibe.
Google Translate for multi-lang descriptions.
Ideas flooding my head.
Start sadistic...
Then loser turns tables, overpowers delinquent.
Builds anticipation, right?
Not 'cause I want to! Totally!
"Hey. What're you scheming? Looking all shady."
Ah. Back to reality.
I awkwardly sipped my beer.
Beating gambling losses, better to nail OnlyFans and stay positive?
"Just some ideas popped up..."
"What ideas?"
"Hear me out."
I set down the beer and explained slowly.
