035. Spooky Abandoned House Exploration
"You wait here. A woman talking to you might scare you."
The Dick-Popping Boner male spoke to the women in a commanding tone.
Then he approached me and offered a greeting.
"Uh... Hello?"
"Ah, yes. Hello."
【Reformed Guburi】─Sex sex~
After exchanging greetings.
Dick-Popping Boner closed the distance even more.
If he touched me, I would kill him.
"We saw each other last time, right? At the top of the mountain?"
"...It does seem like that might've been the case."
The male had an unnecessarily good memory.
I hadn't remembered it at all until I saw the dick-popping boner.
"It's really amazing. I never expected to run into you again in a place like this..."
He put on a glad-to-see-me expression and kept talking, pretending to be friendly.
"Did something happen last time? You suddenly rushed off in a hurry."
"I had to take a shit."
"Ahh. I see... To be honest, I'd wanted to at least say hello back then. Even from just a glance, your face really shone, so, heh heh. You know how when genuinely handsome guys see each other, they feel this urge to get close and everything?"
"Ah, yes."
I didn't know, but I nodded for now.
But this son of a bitch sure didn't shut up.
Anyone watching would think he'd run into a friend of ten years.
"So what brings you here?"
"Just figured I'd try exploring an abandoned house."
"Oh, really? Same as us? Are you a streamer, by any chance?"
The male asked, stealing a sidelong glance at my camera.
His eyes were filled with curiosity.
Honestly, it was a bit disgusting.
Because he was blinking more than ten times a second, flaunting a cuteness he didn't even possess.
"Gouge your eyes out... No, yes. I stream as a hobby."
"Is that so? Is it a live broadcast right now? How many viewers do you have?"
Dick-Popping Boner started launching an unrelenting barrage of questions.
I really wished he'd stop bothering me and fuck off.
But I didn't let my inner thoughts show.
There was nothing to gain from causing unnecessary trouble.
I had no choice but to answer everything halfheartedly.
***
We finished introducing ourselves.
Dick-Popping Boner's name was Ji Moon-hyeok.
Like me, he was someone who created content.
He had fifty thousand Neotube subscribers.
He said abandoned house exploration was his main content, and he didn't do live broadcasts.
And the women standing blankly behind him were, as expected, all Ji Moon-hyeok's girlfriends.
They had clustered together among themselves and were whispering quietly about something.
‘I didn't realize it when I saw them on the mountain, but now that I looked, they all give off a strong punk vibe.’
The women's appearances were all similar.
Like clones.
Plastered with luxury brand clothes.
Their hair was dyed bright yellow, and their skin was on the dusky side, probably from tanning.
Their faces were full of piercings.
Not just their ears, but their lips, eyebrows, and even their nostrils were loaded with them.
They were the very specimens of the famous 'Geumtaeyang' style.
‘...On the outside they might look like that, but they could still be decent people, so I should not be prejudiced.’
Making those thoughts pointless, the Geumtaeyang women's vulgar chatter began to drift over.
"Doesn't that guy look fucking delicious?"
"Keep it down. What if Moon-hyeok hears?"
"He can't hear, it's fine."
"Ha. The more I look, the more he turns me on. Moon-hyeok doesn't even put out, so should I just switch to him while I'm at it?"
"I said keep your voice down. Anyway, for now, act like you're not interested. I'll get his number later behind Moon-hyeok's back."
"That guy looks like he wouldn't put out either. Would he even glance at us in the first place?"
"You never know. He might surprisingly be a horndog."
"But his aura is seriously no joke... Should I say I can feel an aura that says if you mess with him recklessly, you'll be punished by the heavens?"
"There's definitely a sense of a class difference."
"That might actually be an advantage. Most women would feel the class difference and be unable to approach him. If we approach with confidence, he might actually like it?"
"That makes sense...!"
"...Does it make sense?"
They were bitches who acted sweet in front of their boyfriend but didn't hesitate to talk dirty behind his back.
For the record, Ji Moon-hyeok seemed to not have heard any of it.
He must've stuffed dicks in his ears.
‘Well... When he introduced his girlfriends, he whispered to me that they were stupid sugar mamas. So he was not someone to pity. They suit each other.’
I could hear that sexual harassment of a conversation, but I didn't want to get tangled up with them, so I pretended not to.
I couldn't break up a well-matched couple, after all.
I sincerely hoped they would not release each other into society and would just live happily ever after together.
Anyway, I decided to just continue with what I had to do.
Since I had no desire to associate with them any further.
"I'll head upstairs, then. You said I just need to be careful of the second floor, right?"
"Yes. It'd be a disaster if any of the devices we prepared went off."
Ji Moon-hyeok answered, scratching his head.
He said he had installed several devices on the second floor for his broadcast content.
For example.
A recorder containing a creepy voice.
Or a doll that jumps out when you trigger it.
‘...I should not even loiter around the second floor. If I was not careful, I might touch a device and set it off.’
Because of that, I decided to pass the second floor and go straight up to the third.
He'd said he'd been diligently preparing his manufactured content since morning, so I couldn't turn that effort into bubbles.
I shouldn't be a nuisance to his broadcast.
‘Still, from the sound of it, this seemed like a place without any ghosts.’
Ji Moon-hyeok had said he'd inspected the entire second and third floors.
Not just today, but last night as well.
But seeing as nothing had happened, it seemed there was no ghost here that meant a person harm.
‘At this point, it was questionable whether ghosts even really exist.’
Hadn't he said he'd explored over ten abandoned houses so far?
Even though he'd wandered through that many abandoned houses, he said he had never once encountered a ghost.
And he seemed not to believe in the existence of ghosts, either.
Whether he was simply lucky.
Or whether ghosts were just a fictional existence.
At that moment, I had no way of knowing yet.
***
While I was heading up to the third floor.
A single doll sitting all alone at the top of the stairs came into view.
It was a Gomdori doll with one eye missing.
"What's that? It looks fucking adorable."
【Reformed Guburi】─Huh? What is? Me?
【Yoho】─You must've thought of my face. Haha.
【Qkrnfl892】─I am a bit cute.
【Hottie Licker】─Morons lol lick.
Was that also a device Ji Moon-hyeok installed?
He clearly said he'd only installed them on the second floor...
Since he himself said he hadn't installed any on the third floor, it seemed like I wouldn't have to feel sorry even if I touched it and set something off.
It was just as I was about to get closer to check the doll.
"E-excuse me!"
A frantic voice called out from behind me.
I turned my head to see a woman running up the stairs, gasping for breath.
She was one of the Geumtaeyang women.
"Heok, hah... You climb crazy fast..."
"You got something to say to me?"
"Ah, well."
After coming to a stop in front of me.
She confidently thrust her phone out with an assured expression.
"If it's not too rude, could I maybe get your number?"
"...Why?"
"What do you mean, why. Because I'm into you."
The Geumtaeyang woman flashed a smile, showing her white teeth.
Seeing that expression put me in a foul mood.
‘...This crazy bitch actually came to get my number.’
I didn't know what kind of stunt this was for a woman who already had a boyfriend.
For now, I spoke in a composed tone.
"Don't you have a boyfriend?"
"Hey. What does that matter? He's seeing multiple women, so there's no law saying I can't, is there?"
She wasn't wrong.
But there was one thing she overlooked.
"Did you get permission from your boyfriend?"
"...Huh?"
"I'm asking if you got permission before pulling this shit."
"No... There's no reason I'd need to get permission, is there?"
This bitch seemed to have no clue what she'd done wrong.
I explained what she was overlooking in a clear and coherent manner.
"Aren't all of you dating by mutual agreement?"
"Yeah, so what?"
"...No, you fuckwit, don't you have a brain? Can't you think for yourself? That's why, if you want to see multiple men too, it's only right that you get consent from your current boyfriend, you piece of shit bitch."
Without consent, it's just cheating.
Of course, to an objection of 'If you can do it, why can't I?'
If a woman said something like that, the man was likely to reject her.
The male-to-female ratio in this world was extremely low, after all.
But if she was unhappy that her boyfriend was seeing multiple women, she shouldn't have agreed to it from the start.
She could break up with him and find another man who wanted monogamous love.
In the first place, she didn't have the right to express dissatisfaction.
Since the man was someone she chose herself.
Plus, the guy wasn't at fault, either.
He wasn't seeing other women behind his lover's back; he was dating multiple people openly after getting permission.
Anyway.
Cheating was the act of deceiving one’s partner.
In other words, it's no different from betrayal.
People who commit betrayal without a care were the type I utterly despised.
They no longer held any value worth respecting.
"You piece of shit bitch. Why aren't you saying anything?"
"No, why are you suddenly dropping formal speech..."
"The fuck. I don't use polite speech with animals."
"...Do you only say things you can handle? Right now, it's just you and me here."
The woman's face turned bright red.
She even clenched her fists tightly.
At any moment, she looked ready to throw a punch.
And, perhaps having overheard our conversation, the chat window was also currently in an uproar.
【Reverse-Rape Maniac】─Fucking worthless bitch. Who the fuck do you think you're hitting on?
【Reformed Guburi】─What fucking cunt is that? Do you think our Gye Bastard-hun is easy?
【Min-ji】─She can ask for the number. But doing it behind her boyfriend's back is morally wrong.
【Hottie Licker】─I'm gonna have to educate her. If I whack her on the head with a moral education book about 100,000 times, she might turn over a new leaf?
【Yoho】─It's the person we met on the first floor earlier, right? Can't you show her face on camera?
【BigGirl】─Can we expose her face?
【Se-hun Defense Force】─That crazy bitch doesn't know her place.
【Qkrnfl892】─You've gotta reach for people within your reach. You fucking bitch, just you wait. I'm loading live rounds now and boarding the two-and-a-half-ton truck.
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya. I are boarding the cargo too.
【Plum Tree】─What did she say at the end? It sounded like she threatened that it's just the two of you?
【Dick Lover】─On my way.
【Drift AI】─Nuclear launch preparations complete. Drop point set.
There were voice messages via donations, too.
However, I had temporarily muted the sound, so no sound leaked out.
As I was observing the chat window out of the corner of my eye, the Geumtaeyang woman's face turned deathly pale, as if she had only just then realized we were on a live broadcast.
She must've been so blinded by lust that she couldn't see anything.
"Hey. So, you got anything else to say?"
"..."
"If not, fuck off. I'll keep it a secret from your boyfriend."
Maybe it was a matter of pride.
The Geumtaeyang woman glared fiercely and didn't back down.
If we hadn't been on a live broadcast, her expression looked like she would've caused a scene right then and there.
"You deaf? I said fuck off."
I didn't want to share the same space with a bitch like that any longer.
Even breathing the same air was torment.
So I slammed my fist into a stone statue that was right beside me.
Kwaaaang!
With a single punch, the stone statue shattered into pieces.
This was a kind of warning.
A warning to get the fuck out of here right now if she didn't want to end up like this too.
"Huh...?"
［Heek...!］
The Geumtaeyang woman must've been frightened, because she stumbled backward with her eyes opened wide.
"W-what are you...? A man, no, how can a person's strength be..."
"Enough pointless chatter..."
I pointed at the shattered remnants of the stone statue.
"If you don't want to end up like this, fuck off while I'm still asking nicely."
"..."
She shut her mouth tight.
Just moments ago, she had looked like she was about to spew curses and commit violence.
‘...Wait. But just now, I thought I heard another voice besides hers? What was that?’
Just as I was holding that question.
The Geumtaeyang woman spat on the floor and then turned around and started down the stairs.
That spit seemed to be her last shred of pride.
"You fucker... If you'd just given me your number nicely, I was going to tell you something important... You brought this all on yourself..."
The retreating back of the Geumtaeyang woman, who was muttering something quietly, grew farther away.
I must have stuffed dicks in my ears too, because I couldn't hear her.
After the insect had completely gone.
I checked the chat window again.
【Reformed Guburi】─??? What was that just now?
【Hottie Licker】─What? A hidden camera? How'd you do that?
【Yoho】─Gasp... What is the streamer's strength...
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya? What is that for reals? Are Se-hun a test subject too?
【Reverse-Rape Maniac】─Found him. An ideal type who can overpower me and ruthlessly humiliate me...
【Plum Tree】─Are you human?
"What are you guys so surprised about? I told you earlier. That I'm strong."
【Drift AI】─I will now speak. I will tell them the stone statue was cracked.
"Shut up."
I hit Drift with a Chat Mute.
Maybe because she'd been tamed, she didn't flip out.
And then, I turned my gaze upward to climb the stairs again.
But then.
"...Huh? What? Where'd the one from earlier go?"
The Gomdori doll that had been at the top of the stairs was nowhere to be seen.
