Chapter Title: Waxing Tribulations
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I'm feeling so unsettled.
The video views are steadily climbing...
And the number of purchases is definitely increasing too.
Most people are probably just tapping in out of curiosity for a trending video and then bouncing.
But for some reason, it feels like even more people are leaving comments without watching...
"wwwwwwwww Awesome! (This is sick!) "
"I got excited by this young man. (I ended up getting turned on by this guy.) "
"Actually, the hot one might be the guy. (Turns out the one turning me on might be the dude.) "
But why is all this aggro pulling toward me!
The Japanese commenters are randomly directing their aggro at me.
Are they projecting themselves onto me or something...? But I'm actually getting bullied here. This isn't some act—it's real!!!
"Jun-hyeong's gay... I'm jealous..."
Fortunately, comments like that aren't showing up.
The guys probably skim through the video too fast and miss the audio... Still, I'm on edge worrying my real name might get dropped.
I asked them to mute it, so it'll get edited soon...
Current earnings are roughly around 2 million won.
The latest video has the highest purchase count, but the two older ones I had pre-recorded are pulling their weight too.
People get hooked by the bullying thumbnail, buy it thinking "What's this?", and the other two aren't doing bad either.
"Haa..."
Is it okay for me to be doing this?
I'm thrilled it's blowing up, but I can't help feeling conflicted about heading down this path.
Is this my fate? Destined to keep stumbling into the weirdest shit...
Already feeling unsettled, and now I'm on my way to get waxed, which is making it even worse.
Yi Ju-ha's been complaining about my pubes for a while... but I didn't expect her to book a waxing shop like this.
I threw a fit saying I didn't want to, but it was pointless. That incident gave her dirt on me, after all.
She has her own sneaky filming leverage, but my screw-up was bigger...
Sneaking pics, rape, creampie, fight—all real? My heart's pounding just thinking about it.
Sigh.
I was planning to tidy up anyway, so maybe waxing's not a bad call.
Snipping away with kitchen scissors at home sounds kinda ridiculous anyway.
'Fuck...'
Pubes are a man's pride!
What's worrying me is having to strip naked in front of a stranger. At least the one doing the waxing is the noona who edits the OnlyFans videos.
She's seen so much already that we might both be numb to it. Probably...
Waxing, tattoos, OnlyFans editing—triple gig?
What kind of triple-threat jobs are these... That noona must be one wild character. Definitely not your average person...
'She said the noona was curious about you anyway.'
Why's she curious about me?
Honestly, my curiosity and excitement about what kind of person she is outweighs the fear of the waxing a bit.
Ju-ha says she's the type guys go crazy for... Is that for real? Sounds like bullshit.
"Haa..."
It's gonna hurt like hell, right? What if it shrivels up down there from the pain? My worries are spiraling.
I've shown it off in videos so much already—maybe it'll be fine if it perks up a little? Haha! Fuck.
I feel like livestock being led to the slaughterhouse.
Even more pathetic since I'm walking there voluntarily.
I stopped walking and checked the map again.
Hmm... This the right spot? Ma-cheon-dong villa complex.
I eyed the depths of the villa district, which felt like some shadowy underworld.
It's broad daylight, but that area looks like a whole other world—dark and gloomy.
'Jeez.'
Is it safe to even go in?
If it's this shady in the daytime, what the hell's it like at night?
I gripped my bag tight and forced myself to move.
'Ugh.'
Following the map through the alleys between villas.
The deeper I went, the creepier it got. Is this really the same South Korea...? Would the cops even come if I called?
'100M ahead.'
The map flickered. ...A waxing shop in a place like this...?
Feels more like a human log factory. No, right, Ju-ha?
'Destination arrived.'
The navigation ended. I looked up at the villa.
New build. Sorta. Doesn't look super new thanks to the peeling exterior and neglected neighborhood.
'Gulp.'
My feet won't budge...
But I've come all this way—turning back now would be awkward.
I shuffled forward on shaky legs. They're not gonna turn me into a log right in the middle of the neighborhood, are they...?
'Said it's the first-floor shop.'
The dark ground-floor shop... Lights were off. What the...?
A black sign with small white text: Waxing Shop, Tattoo Shop. Looked like they had zero interest in regular customers... Should I even go in...?
Peeking through the glass, everything inside was pitch black.
'I'm insane.'
Should've just trimmed with scissors...
I timidly knocked on the door. No one's here?
Gently pushing it open, it creaked ajar. They left it unlocked, huh.
"Hello...?"
If no one's here, I'll bolt...
Stepping inside, a faint woody scent lingered.
The distinct smell of a workshop mixed with heavy diffuser. Kinda like a waxing shop, kinda not...
'Hmm...'
The layout seems like a standard waxing shop. Just cluttered with random junk. Small counter up front, then a hallway with rooms lining it.
But with no lights on, it felt more like a human-pickling workshop...
Ju-ha, you didn't sell me out, right...? I trust you...
"Um, hello? Anyone here?"
What if a buzz-cut tattooed thug comes out? "Oh, fresh meat! Looking ripe, kid ㅎㅎ." No way!
I called out again in a trembling voice. Feels like a horror escape room—I wanna cry...
Fumbling for the light switch. Th-this one?
'Click.'
A dim red bulb flickered on. Barely brighter than a red-light glow...
Turning on that light just made the vibe weirder.
Like a showcase for today's log specials.
Fresh 20-something guy—5 million won! Organs sold separately!
'I... I'll just sit for now.'
If the vibes get worse, I'll smash the window and run.
Glancing at the time, I was about five minutes early. Heard you're supposed to show up ten minutes early for these places, so I did...
No other customers, so it doesn't matter anyway.
"Hmm..."
These villa shops usually have the owner's place upstairs... Maybe she's resting up there.
But what's that door? Bathroom?
Across from where I sat was a random steel door. Doesn't look like a bathroom...
'Clank.'
What? It opened.
Right then, a cold voice came from beside me.
"What're you doing?"
"Mommy!"
I whipped around to see a gaunt face staring at me. Where'd she come from!
"Don't go rummaging through someone else's shop."
"S-sorry."
I yanked my hand off the handle. So... this must be the noona who edits videos and does waxing.
Her first impression hit hard. Tired, haggard face with sharp, intense eyes. Black mask covering her lower face.
Black spaghetti-strap sheer mesh top—the kind tough noonas wear. Odd nylon black skirt. Firm thighs peeking below... and black half-stockings covering her calves.
Rare look... Anyone would peg her as Yi Ju-ha's bestie.
The noona yawned and flipped on the bright shop lights. Was she sleeping inside?
"You're early."
"Y-yeah."
Exactly five minutes early. She nodded and started prepping.
Her shuffling gait gave a sloppy vibe... Probably just woke up.
Overall, she radiated this free-spirited life aura. The kind where getting tangled with her turns you into a bum too...
"Want some water?"
"N-no, I'm good."
She chugged a bottle of mineral water. Hungover from last night...?
Gave off dangerous vibes like "Waxing's a hassle... Want a handjob instead? Or go somewhere else?"
She kept grabbing stuff from the counter with a weary expression. Not like she hasn't worked in ages, right? Nah, must be my imagination.
"Ever gotten waxed before?"
"Uh... no."
"Not even once?"
"No..."
"Gonna hurt like hell the first time. Hurt bad for me too."
She muttered about the pain while grabbing the kit and beckoning.
"Let's go in."
"Okay."
I set my bag down and followed slowly behind her.
Her hips swayed noticeably under the skirt.
'Click.'
The front room off the hallway.
She fumbled for the switch and turned it on. An odd orange glow lit up.
...This is a waxing shop, right?
"Sit somewhere comfy~."
"Yeah..."
The room smelled unfamiliar...
First time in a space like this. Cozy one-person setup with a sealed feel. Sleek bed. Stimulating lighting.
Felt way more like a shady parlor than a waxing shop. Is this right?
"Never waxed before, huh. Hmm."
"Yeah..."
"It's gonna hurt a ton at first. Hurt like crazy for me too."
"I... see."
Isn't there a gentle way? She seems so haphazard—can't trust her.
Can I go to a different shop? Feels like I came to the wrong place...
"Normally you'd shower first, but the bathroom's busted. You washed up good, right?"
"Yeah... scrubbed real hard."
"Should be fine then."
She grinned goofily.
How long has this place been closed? I'm not the first customer in a year, am I?
"Gotta change... Next room? Or just strip if you're lazy."
"I'll change!"
I've shown it in videos, but still awkward naked here.
Thinking that made my face heat up.
"Here."
"?"
But what's this flimsy non-woven fabric scrap?
This a panty? It's see-through—pull the sides and it'd rip like paper. Not into that play.
"Keep your top on."
"Yeah..."
Can't trust this... Kinda like the waxing vids I've seen, but so sloppy...
I changed into the paper panties in the next room and came back.
Flappy paper undies... Feel like a caveman...
"Hold on a sec?"
The noona bustled around prepping. Saw her boiling some solution.
At least she has all the tools—not a total newbie.
"Sit ㅎㅎ."
She looks thrilled...
I rubbed my dry face and perched carefully on the bed.
Smooth texture hit my thighs and butt right away. Eek...
"Lie down."
"Yeah..."
She patted the bed. I'm not a baby, eyes here...
I took the pillow she handed and lay down cautiously. Cool air hit my bare shins and thighs. Already risky down there...
'Roll.'
She pulled up a small round stool and sat beside me.
Her chest jiggled slightly... My eyes drifted. Oops...
"Nervous, huh?"
"Y-yeah."
Her masked eyes crinkled into crescents. Softer impression now...
Might treat me nice... Looks different up close.
"I'm nervous too. Been a while."
"Huh?"
My heart froze.
Wh-what's that mean?
"Haven't had customers lately. But I'll do my best! Don't worry."
Why's that sound like self-pep talk? I wanna run!
"Y'know, I just remembered an important appointment—"
"Nuh-uh."
Her hand clamped my thigh. Eek.
Her eyes turned predatory, staring me down like prey.
"Lie down."
"...Eunggh..."
I flopped back with tears in my eyes. This can't be right...!
"Starting now?"
I was an idiot for trusting Yi Ju-ha...!
