Chapter Title: Female Delinquents Eat Me Up

...No reply.
I'd sent a belated KakaoTalk reply to Yi Ju-ha last night... but nothing back even by lunchtime today.
She's the type who stares at her phone all day long, so there's no way she wouldn't respond...
Did she get pissed off?
As a mere bread shuttle, ignoring her texts for over five hours must've really set her off, huh?
I quietly opened KakaoTalk again.
The last message was just '-_-.'.
There's no way I'd suddenly get into some accident or whatever... so she probably thinks I'm ghosting her after reading.
Should've made up some excuse at least.
Like I fell and went to the hospital, couldn't check my phone...
But with no injuries anywhere, it'd get found out in a second.
I replied at 11 p.m. last night... and now it's already 1 p.m.
She's probably pissed or sulking... Should I call her?
Calling her terrifies me. Feels like she'd just ignore it anyway.
...But I guess I have to try calling?
I took a deep breath and hit the call button.
'Riiing...'
A plain, colorless ringtone echoed out.
It kept ringing for a good while.
'Click.'
But it hung up without connecting.
A moment later, the automated "You will now be connected to voicemail..." played as the screen went dark.
"Ugh..."
Uh... what do I do?
I've never ghosted anyone before, so I have no clue how to handle this.
In high school, I'd run into her the next day, take a punch to the solar plexus, become her human chair, and atone that way...
But not now.
Unless I go to her place, there's no chance of bumping into her, no chit-chat, no updates.
If she won't pick up, begging in person is the only option.
Honestly, I don't even know why I acted like that yesterday.
Just imagining her getting NTR'd by that guy made my head boil with rage, and I didn't even want to reply.
Something about that dude pisses me off just thinking about him.
"What now..."
Do I really have to go see her?
The exam material's moving faster than expected, so I could afford a day off...
Maybe wait one more day...
"Sigh."
And meanwhile, the money's still coming in steadily.
If the transfers stopped too, I'd think she was seriously furious and cutting me off...
But with the money split right down the middle on schedule, it's even scarier...
Yi Ju-ha with that businesslike expression... terrifying. And yet, little Jooja reacts...
"Oh right..."
And finally, the third video went up.
The long-awaited third one, where she poured her heart into it... well, just her alone.
The response was explosive. Explosive in all sorts of ways... I opened the homepage again.
But kinda disappointing... why didn't they pound the guy actor till he passed out? Need him glazed over, leaking nonstop for max nut
Got horny typing this comment, busted one more...
The problem was the negative reactions were explosive too.
And the Korean comments exploded in number...
Word must've spread somewhere, 'cause Korean comments now make up a solid chunk.
Choking's one thing but moderate it ffs, saw the guy's eyes roll back, gave me chills mid-watch you fucks
What... why's the arena open?
Comments doubled the other videos... explains it.
Femdom fans and haters were locked in fierce battle.
Fr... got goosebumps ㄷㄷ
These gayass fags fr
The reactions are seriously intense.
Still, buzz from the hype means purchase numbers are overwhelmingly good...
Three videos and we're already past ten million won. Good? Short-term virality seems solid...
But as expected, pushing harder into extreme masochistic play like this could get risky.
Too much love-it-or-hate-it, might lose viewers...
For now, the positives outweigh.
But push too far and it flips.
I saw it coming. Sadistic play ramps up, male viewers foam at the mouth.
Key is Yi Ju-ha's take. Seeing them rage might clue her in.
Ah... too female-led vids are a bit much, huh.
Need more male-led, male-oriented shoots.
Tch. Shame.
Won't she think that?
Then my input finally matters.
Shoots where the guy leads more. Hehe.
"..."
Of course, top priority is cheering her up now...
I scrolled the comments more.
Very good. Please keep it up. ദ്ദി´･ω･`)
(Love it. Looking forward to more.)
Love it. Film with all your passion. ദ്ദി*´ω｀*)
(I love it. Please go all out.)
Very good. ??
(Love it so much..)
The Japanese folks are pretty chill overall...
Or maybe it's exactly what Japanese guys crave.
Though even these fans might foam if femdom gets more extreme...
Kinda curious how the tolerant ones flip...
I'll stop here...
Definitely split opinions big time.
Even I've tolerated so far, but further might be tough...
No need for weird tools; plenty of female-led sadistic play without.
Half female-led, half male-led vids? Should balance fine.
"Haa."
I closed my phone and looked out the window.
Beyond the bright sunshine, dark clouds gathered.
Felt like drizzly rain incoming.
A sigh escaped.
Anyway, gotta refocus...
Exams are right around the corner.
With tests so close, the school vibe shifted a bit.
Even the total slackers were sneaking peeks at books, matching the mood.
Only a week left, so everyone's focusing up.
Unlike usual, lighter clothes and stressed faces everywhere...
"How do you solve this?"
Somehow, I'm studying with Ju Ye-jin and Kim Myeong-jun.
Lately, it's basically the three of us glued together?
I teach Ju Ye-jin what she doesn't know, and others come ask us too.
Seniors drop by occasionally.
They used to ask me alone a lot... but now with three, maybe embarrassed? Fewer visits.
Still, with Kim Myeong-jun here, it's easier.
Question storms split in half.
Without him, I'd have fled to the central library.
'No word from Bak Ye-young either.'
Quiet since that day.
Not a single call.
Makes sense with the massive exam scope; probably buried in memorization. Bet she hits me up post-exams.
Feels weird.
Exam season somehow bonds us more...
Used to wander solo more... now quizzing and teaching draws us closer.
Even greeting strangers seniors...
Though post-exams, everyone ghosts. Strong hunch... sniff.
"Mm..."
But that's not the point.
Yi Ju-ha still no reply. Notifications vanish, no response... calls ignored.
[Um...] [Hey..] [Um...]
...floating lonely in the void
Was my first reply too weird?
'Just me at the shoot?' Too brazen, scrapped.
'Can't you skip?' Too cringy, scrapped.
Went with casual 'Should I go alone? Dunno the vibe, could be risky...'
But zero response since.
Probably not the content.
Ghosting till evening reply was the killer.
"Sigh..."
She's not the type to sulk over this...
If mad, she'd blast "This fucker, reply or else?" and call nonstop.
No reaction, just ghosting... no idea how to play it.
Money transfers fine, so no emergencies.
Ask sis casually? Anything heard?
Nah, too weird.
Just knock on her door? Surest bet.
'Hng.'
Lips pouted for no reason.
Exams and now this anxiety...
