Chapter 40: The Gift
Chapter 40: The Gift
Lately, the world has been looking beautiful.
Is it because everything I touch seems to turn to gold?
I checked my bank balance.

16,303,000 KRW

"I really made a killing..."
Yesterday, I received my first settlement from OnlyTens. Even after taking out forty percent to send to Auntie Seo-hyun, this massive amount of money had landed in my account.
Now I understood why people said you could sweep up cash with OnlyTens.
The world was full of rich people with money to burn, and among them were plenty who had no problem spending it on things like this.
They even gave a lot of tips.
Plus, the influx of foreign subscribers played a big part in this lucrative income.
Even now, the subscriber count was steadily climbing. At this rate, I’d likely be looking at an even bigger payout next month.
But a problem had surfaced.
—What do I even do with this money now?
I’d already set aside some pocket money for my parents, but the problem—if you could call it that—was that I didn't really have anything to spend it on for myself.
As an ordinary college student preparing to return to school after finishing my military service, suddenly coming into over ten million won was actually a bit of a dilemma.
How had I been spending my money until now?
I checked my transaction history, and it was a sight to behold.
I’d be embarrassed to show this to anyone.
Most of it was adult toys.
The rest was just food delivery or the occasional piece of clothing.
It was a transaction history perfectly befitting a loner college student.
"...Maybe I should head to a department store?"
Coincidentally, the cafe was closed today.
It was a rare moment of time to myself.
I decided I should indulge in a little luxury for once.
...Though I wasn't sure how well I'd pull it off.
.
.
.
A weekday afternoon.
I wandered into a department store on a whim.
I didn't have anything specific in mind, but once I was inside, I couldn't help but start browsing.
Perhaps because it was a major department store, everything looked expensive and high-end, packed with luxury brands.
It occurred to me that while the money in my account felt like a fortune to me, it probably wasn't much at all in the context of this vast, wealthy world.
As I was browsing the first floor, my feet came to a halt in front of a display case filled with shimmering jewelry.
It wasn't that I was particularly interested; they were just pretty enough to catch my eye. But the moment I saw the price tag, I couldn't help but be shocked.
Holy shit, that’s expensive...
How could a pair of earrings cost over two million won?
Are those real diamonds?
Dozens of earrings sparkled inside the glass case, most of them from high-end luxury brands with prices exceeding a million won.
For someone like me, who had never bought a luxury item in his life, the prices were jaw-dropping.
While I was standing there in shock at the prices, a female staff member in heels approached me.
"Hello, sir. Is there a specific piece you're looking for?"
"Oh, I'm just looking."
When I gave an awkward smile, the clerk naturally took a step closer.
"These are new arrivals from the Italian brand Marchenro. They're all handmade, so even with the same design, the texture varies slightly. This one here is rose gold; it’s a very popular choice lately because the color subtly brightens the skin tone."
The staff member began explaining the product I had been looking at.
I hadn't intended to buy anything in the first place, but since she was being so kind with her explanation, I felt awkward just walking away, so I simply nodded along.
The way the jewelry sparkled under the lights felt incredibly sophisticated.
Even I, someone who usually had zero interest in accessories, found my eyes drawn to them for some reason.
Besides, women used earrings and necklaces like these to express their personality and charm, so they’d be even more interested in such ornaments.
I wonder if Auntie Seo-hyun would like them?
Auntie Seo-hyun’s face suddenly flashed through my mind.
She wasn't the type to dress herself up in an overly flashy way, but she still put a lot of effort into her style and was very serious about maintaining her appearance.
Even now, she wore the earrings her husband had gifted her to work every single day.
Thinking about that, I suddenly became interested.
"What kind of things do women usually like?"
"Oh, is it for a gift?"
"Yes, I want to give it to my bitch... I mean, my girlfriend."
I almost called her my bitch slave by mistake and hurriedly changed the title to girlfriend.
The staff member nodded at my words.
"What is your girlfriend's style like?"
"Um... she's a bit elegant and composed. She's on the taller side, and while she likes dressing up, she doesn't go too overboard."
"Then you should probably avoid anything too gaudy. What is her skin tone like?"
"Her skin is fair and bright."
At my answer, the clerk showed me a different product.
"How about this? It's a piece from Delage's signature line. It's rose gold set with diamonds, making it an elegant and sophisticated accent. It suits people with bright skin tones or those who prefer a natural style very well."
As expected of a professional, the explanation flowed out effortlessly.
I usually didn't care about the jewelry women wore, but imagining these earrings sparkling on Auntie Seo-hyun’s ears, I thought they would suit her quite well.
But more importantly, Auntie Seo-hyun would be wearing earrings I gave her.
Just imagining her walking around in front of her husband wearing expensive earrings I had gifted her was enough to make me feel an erection coming on.
Perhaps that was why I liked the design, which was slightly flashier than the ones she usually wore.
That would be pretty hot...
The high price was a bit of a drawback, but then again, I wouldn't have been able to make any money through OnlyTens if it weren't for Auntie Seo-hyun.
Thinking of it as a small investment in her made me feel better about it.
I came here to splurge, anyway.
There wasn't much else I could do to "indulge" myself, so I figured it would be better to buy a gift for Auntie Seo-hyun instead.
I received several more recommendations with the clerk's help, but the one I liked most was the drop-style earrings she had recommended first.
"I'll take these."
.
.
.
The next day.
Even after arriving at the cafe for work, I couldn't bring myself to give the earrings to Auntie Seo-hyun right away.
The timing felt awkward.
Giving them to her just like that felt like it would ruin the mood for such expensive earrings, but I had no experience setting a "mood," so I didn't even know where to start.
So, I decided to keep it simple.
A good opportunity will come if I wait.
With that thought, I wiped down the tables.
After clearing away the coffee spills and bread crumbs left by customers, I saw that Auntie Seo-hyun also looked frantic, busy taking orders and making coffee.
As I approached, she held out a cup as if I’d arrived at the perfect time.
"Jin-woo, could you pull two shots for this? I'm going to go serve these real quick."
"Sure. I'll do it."
It was incredibly busy.
But it wasn't particularly hard.
Once this rush passed, the number of customers would dwindle, and more importantly, I’d be able to spend some "fun" time with Auntie Seo-hyun soon.
Above all else...
<Subscriber Count: 3,021>
The number of subscribers was rising every day.
There were many Koreans active on OnlyTens, but not a single one of them boasted a peerless body like Auntie Seo-hyun’s.
She was slender and leggy, and on top of that, she practically oozed sex appeal. There was no competition.
Thanks to those unique advantages, the videos Auntie Seo-hyun and I filmed were incredibly popular.
Taking advantage of a brief lull, I logged into OnlyTens to check the latest video I’d uploaded and the comments on it.
=============
<Haaah, ngh, h-ngh—!>
<Oh... ohhh—I'm coming, ngh, ahhh♡♡ Master, I'm coming from your huge cock! Ahhh♡>
==============
Flesh toilet.
It was the perfect expression to describe Auntie Seo-hyun in the video.
Moans that could never be faked.
And her beast-like sexual desire.
Because it showed exactly what a sex-crazed pervert Auntie Seo-hyun was, people couldn't help but love the video.
============
—Her body is seriously top-tier.
—Wow, I'm so jealous of the guy lol.
—She's the lewdest woman I've ever seen.
============
Naturally, the comments were full of praise.
Looking at them made me feel ambitious.
What I had initially thought of as a small side hustle had revealed the potential to make far more money than I’d imagined.
Maybe I could make even more than this...
Then, I spotted a certain comment.
===============
-Have you thought about doing a live broadcast later for promotion?
-For real, if you broadcast on an adult platform, it’ll serve as promotion and you’ll make a killing.
===============
...Promotion.
Certainly, there was no better way to drive traffic than promotion.
Until now, I’d been promoting the OnlyTens by posting on the deviant account Auntie Seo-hyun used to run, but I was starting to want to find a new method.
When the new direction of "adult broadcasting" came to mind, it felt like my eyes had been opened.
"......That might actually be a good idea."
It wasn't a bad thought at all.
