Seo Euna
Seo Euna. The actress who had skyrocketed to fame with her unparalleled acting skills and stunning beauty. Younger than me, yet her achievements were on a level I couldn't even compare to—a top-tier star.
"Ajusshi!"
The moment she saw me, her cheeks flushed bright red. She came running barefoot and threw her arms around me in a tight hug. Even though we'd both turned 26, she still called me "ajusshi."
"Move aside."
"Huh?"
I peeled Euna off me and ransacked the house like my life depended on it, gathering every last one of my belongings. Since I'd been hopping between the women's places almost weekly, I had to check each one personally to make sure I got everything. I could've just told the girls to bring my stuff over, but they might not even know what was mine or what I'd left behind. Doing it myself was the surefire, safest way.
Less than I thought.
After tearing the place apart, all I found was a couple pairs of underwear and my wireless earbuds. Well, I'd mostly just crashed here with nothing but the clothes on my back, so it made sense there wasn't much.
I double-checked just in case, but all that turned up was a bit of dust.
"Um, ajusshi?"
"What."
"Why are you suddenly packing up your stuff..."
Euna trembled with anxiety. Her reaction felt so real, but after today, it would all vanish anyway.
"None of your business."
"O-okay..."
She nodded at first, but I couldn't do anything about the shaky look in her eyes.
"Right now, delete my phone number, all our messages, every photo and video we've taken together. Wipe it all clean—no recovering it even if you try."
"Pardon...?"
The moment I gave the order, her face stiffened up just like Heena's had.
"Why... why are you doing this? Is something wrong?"
"..."
When I didn't answer, she started trembling harder and clutched my sleeve tight.
"Don't worry. I'll come back. You trust me, right?"
"Liar."
Unlike Heena, she shook her head.
"Your eyes are twitching. I love you, ajusshi. I can tell something's changed."
"..."
"What's going on?"
She reached out to touch my face, but I slapped her hand away.
If words wouldn't work nicely, I'd have to go rough.
"Nothing's going on. Delete it all—no recovering."
"A-ajusshi? Why are you like this? Hey?!"
"Quit stalling and delete it. Now."
"No way!"
"What."
"You're... you're not throwing me away, right?"
"..."
I couldn't answer, and Euna dropped to her knees with a thud. The young actress who got love calls from around the world was kneeling before an average nobody like me. Not content with that, she clasped her hands together and begged desperately, even though she hadn't done anything wrong.
"Nooo! Don't abandon me! I can't live without you, ajusshi! Please, please don't go!!!"
Euna pleaded pathetically. It really drove home just how powerful the hypnosis app had been.
"It's true! Really! Look at this! See?!"
She pulled a photo from her pocket and held it out to me.
"It's the first picture we took together! If it wasn't real, why would I keep something like this?!"
The selfie captured her lying in bed, nestled against my arm with sparkling eyes as she whispered sweet nothings of love. The most eye-catching part was her resident registration card— a photo from right when she'd turned twenty. She'd even printed it out, dated it, and signed it with her rare autograph, treasuring it like gold.
"...I just have my reasons."
"Reasons? Whatever it is, it'll be fine—don't go! Is it because I wasn't good enough? I'll do better, so please reconsider, okay?!"
Even knowing it was hypnosis, my resolve wavered for a second. Anyone watching would think we were a real couple breaking up. But I quickly cooled my head with cold logic.
If there'd been no hypnosis, would Euna really act like this if a guy like me left? The answer was a resounding no.
She was one of the world's top actresses, bar none. Without the app, she'd never have given me a second glance. All of this was just a fake created by hypnosis. No matter how real it felt, I couldn't forget that.
Once the app expired and the hypnosis wore off, the truth would come out, and she'd wipe her mouth clean and come after me with a vengeance. Hell, if I were her, I'd hunt down and kill the bastard who hypnotized and toyed with me.
So I had to erase every trace of myself and vanish. That was my only way to survive.
I steeled myself, snatched the photo from her hand, and tore it to shreds.
"Nooooo!!!!!"
Euna screamed, but I didn't look back as I headed for the bathroom.
"Please!!! Not the photo!!!!!"
She wailed desperately, grabbing my ankle and clinging for dear life.
Fuck. I gritted my teeth. I didn't want to do this, but I had to.
It was all a manipulated personality from the hypnosis anyway—it'd be gone by tomorrow. Remember that, Yun Geon-woo.
"Let go!!!"
I forcibly pried her off and flung her aside.
Thud!
"Aaaack!"
Her head slammed hard against the wall.
"Don't do this! Please! Ajusshi!!!"
But even as she clutched her aching head, she reached out, desperate to save the photo. I shoved it into the toilet and flushed.
"N-nooooo!!!!!"
Euna crawled forward like a madwoman and plunged her hand into the filthy bowl to fish it out.
"Hic... please... please!!!"
She didn't care if her expensive clothes got soaked or dirty water splashed her face—she splashed around frantically, but it was too late. The photo swirled away with the water.
"Ah... aaah..."
Euna collapsed in despair.
"Hic... waaaaahhhhh!!!!!"
She choked back sobs a few times before breaking into full-blown crying.
Was I going too far? The thought flickered, but like I'd told myself, it was all just the hypnosis. I hardened my heart and left her there, sobbing on the floor.
Or at least, I tried to.
"Oh my, hubby?"
"Huh?"
Right at the front door, I ran into Euna's mother, Han Ga-eun. She held a cheap plastic bag that clashed with her glamorous outfit—looked like she'd gone grocery shopping herself.
"Hubby!"
Beaming ear to ear, she dropped the bag and rushed into my arms. Her famous massive breasts squished flat against me.
"I've missed you so much, hubby♥"
"We saw each other yesterday."
"Aww~ But still~"
Ga-eun nuzzled into me with aegyo that no mother of an adult daughter should pull off.
"Hubby, I've been craving your touch... stroke me, please."
"Yeah, alright."
I held her as she wished, running my hand through her luscious black hair.
"Hnnngh...♥"
She let out a lewd moan, savoring it. Like I'd said before, she didn't seem like a mom who'd given birth at all. Honestly, with her youthful looks, she passed for Euna's slightly older sister, and the aegyo suited her perfectly. Her figure was ideal—busting out where it should, sucked in where it needed to be. I remembered the first time I held her, losing my mind and filling her up over and over in awe of her perfect body.
My body reacted honestly. In other words, I got hard.
"Oh?"
She noticed right away, flashing a sultry smile and planting a kiss on my cheek.
"You want to do it with me too, right, hubby? I'm always ready."
I gritted my teeth and smacked her arms away as she went to wrap them around my neck.
Smack!
No time for this.
"Eh?"
She'd never seen this before and looked flustered, eyeing me like a scared puppy.
"H-hubby? What's wrong? Why are you suddenly..."
Perfect timing. I'd been planning to track her down anyway—this saved me the trip.
"You. Delete every KakaoTalk and message we've exchanged. Erase my contact too. Hell, wipe any trace that I was ever in this house. Make it irrecoverable."
"P-pardon?"
She froze in confusion. She snapped back to reality only after spotting her daughter crawling toward us over my shoulder, sniffling and pleading.
"Hic... please don't go... I'll be good! I'll do even better, so please!!!"
Euna clung to my pant leg, begging.
"Wh-what the..."
Ga-eun's pupils practically shook—in vulgar terms, a total pupil earthquake. It was rare to see her so lost, but I didn't have time to waste on it.
I shoved the hypnosis app right in Ga-eun's face. For Euna, I hauled her up by force and made her look.
"From now on, you two do exactly what I say."
The mother and daughter stared blankly at the screen, entranced.
"Erase every trace I was ever here. Make it irrecoverable."
"..."
"..."
"Answer me!"
Even after I yelled, no response. I had to scream it dozens of times before they finally nodded blankly and carried out the order.
"Stay put. Don't even think about following me. Got it?"
"Yes..."
"Understood..."
Tears streamed nonstop from their eyes as they spoke. What was this? Had it happened before? Something felt off, so I double-checked for a long while to make sure they'd follow through and the hypnosis had taken hold properly. Only after confirming they'd even wiped the home cam footage beyond recovery did I finally relax.
"Whew."
I bolted from Euna's house like a fugitive and dialed Heejin.
