Chapter Title: Morning After and Filial Dreams
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I woke up.
Feeling refreshed and languid.
I stretched lazily, yawning so wide it felt like my mouth would split.
I picked up my phone.
[2013/2/24]
[Thursday, 10 AM]
I usually woke up around 9.
Today, I was an hour late.
From 3 AM to 10 AM—about seven hours of sleep.
I chugged some cold water and checked KakaoTalk.
[Choi A-young: Whoa;; You're insane;;]
[Choi A-young: Haeil Construction's stock plummeted hard. It was at the daily limit up until lunch yesterday, then crashed in the afternoon.]
[Choi A-young: Whew, I'm so glad I sold following your lead, oppa. If I hadn't, it would've been a disaster. I nearly went to rock bottom;;]
She must've checked Haeil Construction's stock price. Choi A-young couldn't hide her mix of shock and relief at the nosedive.
[Me: Haha, what a relief.]
[Me: Good call selling. It felt like the peak, so I pulled the trigger—and bam, it tanks hard ㄷㄷㄷㄷ]
I sent the messages.
I reminisced about last night.
Yesterday evening, I boiled up beef chapagetti and ate it with Choi A-young.
Thick sirloin + fresh veggies + spicy chapagetti—it was pure bliss.
For dessert afterward, I feasted on her breasts and pussy to my heart's content. I lost count of how many times I came.
And in the dead of night.
At 1 AM.
Choi A-young showed up again. The second she got the green light, she hopped in a taxi and came over. We had steamy sex.
Smack-.
I smacked my lips.
'Want to eat her again.'
Choi A-young was incredibly delicious.
An addictive kind of tasty.
I wanted to devour her again.
Over and over.
As I smacked my lips again,
my phone rang—Choi A-young calling.
—Oppa! Oppa! Crash! Total crash!
"What's that mean?"
—Haeil Construction. After yesterday, it's crashing again today!
"Oh yeah? Really?"
—Yes! The market's only been open an hour, and it's already down -20%. It'll hit -30% soon.
"Crazy."
—If we hadn't sold yesterday... Ugh... Just thinking about it makes me dizzy. Horrifying. Total catastrophe.
While on the call, I logged into the stock community and searched for Haeil Construction.
The community was
a battlefield. Chaos about to erupt.
A cauldron of confusion. Total mess.
Plastered with the wails of small investors.
All-in on Haeil Construction with my life savings... Thought it'd skyrocket... Why does it always crash right after I buy...?
Fuck, lost 100 million won. Please rebound! Praying for a rebound from the shithole!
No rescue team? Anyone here? 😭 I'm dying 😭😭 Save me! Spare me!! 😭😭
Lol bought at the knees, sold at the shoulders, pocketed 100 mil~
Didn't I warn you? Stocks from this backward financial hellhole? You'll lose hands, feet, everything? Stick to solid US markets?
Most were lamenting their losses.
Not everyone lost, of course.
A tiny few profited.
Some mocked the losers.
Meanwhile, Choi A-young was,
—Oppa, are you the god of stocks?
—Nailing bull and bear markets like a stock deity?
—I'd even believe you if you said you make red bean paste with beans from your butt.
Choi A-young was busy praising me.
She couldn't help it.
Thanks to me, she invested in Haeil Construction.
Thanks to me, she sold at the peak.
She netted 6 million won in profit.
—Jin-seong oppa, what do you want to eat? Anything! Just say it—A-young will treat!
"Hmm...? Something I want? Nothing specific...? Ah...? Got one."
I grinned lewdly.
"Choi A-young."
—Yes?
"I want to eat you."
—Me...? You want A-young...?
"Yeah. I want you."
—Didn't you eat plenty yesterday...?
"Want you again. Can't stop."
—......
"You're so damn tasty, I'm addicted."
—......
Choi A-young went silent.
—Video call?
"Huh? Yeah. Sure."
—One sec.
Thirty seconds later,
she initiated the video call.
I saw her face.
—Hi, oppa!
"Hey?"
—Hehe, seeing your face makes me happy.
Her bright smile was so pretty.
—Oppa. Jin-seong oppa.
"Yeah? What?"
—......
No answer.
Choi A-young gave a shy smile.
Slowly,
the camera panned down.
From her face,
to her breasts.
I gasped in surprise.
'Naked?!'
Choi A-young was completely nude.
Her breasts and nipples filled the screen.
A cute hand rubbed a nipple.
—If you want to eat... come over...
"Ugh. Yeah. On my way!"
The video call ended.
I jumped up in a frenzy.
I got home.
Had sex at Choi A-young's, hit the gym for a workout, had lunch with Park Ha-yeon, then headed back.
Checked KakaoTalk.
[Oh Mi-yeon: It was so noisy at dawn I couldn't sleep at all. Please keep it down ^^;;]
[Oh Mi-yeon: Making sandwiches for dinner after work. Come over to your place for sandwiches and coffee?]
Oh snap!
I tried to be careful, but the neighbor heard.
Feeling sorry and embarrassed, I scratched my cheek with my index finger.
[Me: You heard? So sorry.]
[Me: I'll be more careful from now on.]
[Me: Emoticon (apology)]
[Me: Emoticon (apology)]
[Me: Sandwiches? Made by Mi-yeon noona herself?]
[Me: Ooo!! Yes please!! Sounds delicious. Can't wait. ^___^]
Five minutes later, a reply.
[Oh Mi-yeon: What kind do you like? Veggie? Chicken? Ham? Cheese?]
[Me: Meat. I love any meat haha]
[Oh Mi-yeon: Chicken breast sandwich?]
[Me: O!! Yes!!]
[Oh Mi-yeon: Feel honored. I don't make food for just anyone. Not even for my ex.]
[Me: Ex-boyfriend?]
I tilted my head.
Did Oh Mi-yeon have an ex?
I'd glimpsed her inner thoughts once and learned the unbelievable: surprisingly, Oh Mi-yeon was a virgin.
Her beauty had tempted her to lose it countless times, but she'd held firm.
[Oh Mi-yeon: What? Why?]
[Me: Just surprised.]
[Oh Mi-yeon: Surprised by what?]
[Me: Thought you never had a boyfriend.]
[Oh Mi-yeon: What? I had tons in the past. Thousands of guys chased me.]
[Me: Haha oh yeah haha]
[Oh Mi-yeon: Don't misunderstand. Lots of boyfriends, but never got serious with any.]
Got it.
Plenty of boyfriends, but no sex.
[Me: Haha Mi-yeon.]
[Me: You feeling okay?]
[Oh Mi-yeon: Yeah. Peaceful thanks to you.]
[Oh Mi-yeon: Thanks. For the peaceful day.]
Maknae-ya had messaged too.
[Yoo Seol: Oppa 😭😭]
[Me: What's up?]
[Yoo Seol: Allowance plz]
[Yoo Seol: Bunny emoticon]
[Me: Why? Karaoke?]
[Yoo Seol: Yesss!!!]
[Yoo Seol: Bunny emoticon]
[Me: Ok, sending 50k.]
[Yoo Seol: Best! Best!!]
[Yoo Seol: Yay! Yay!!]
[Yoo Seol: Stylish oppa is the best!]
[Yoo Seol: Bunny emoticon]
I transferred 50,000 won.
[Me: Sent. Have fun singing.]
[Me: Eat lots of snacks too.]
[Me: Tell me when you run out.]
[Yoo Seol: Yup! Yup!]
[Yoo Seol: Oppa best!]
[Yoo Seol: Only oppa!!]
Yoo Seol called.
She coquettishly thanked me.
'So cute.'
Her aegyo lifted my mood.
Worth giving allowance.
'Parents coming tomorrow evening.'
Better not schedule dinner.
Buy them something nice.
'But...'
I pondered deeply.
Life savings: 250 million won.
Give parents 90 million, left with 160 million.
160 million won.
A huge sum. Serious cash.
A salaryman would need at least six years of grinding to save that—if lucky.
Six years minimum. Might not even save 16 million in that time.
What if I spend it?
Can't save if I blow it?
For example,
on family, a car, rent, women, nightlife?
No savings then.
Anyway.
'What to do with this money?'
Big windfall.
How best to spend it?
'Buy a house?'
Nah. Shook my head.
Pretty satisfied with studio life. Cheap, comfy, easy to maintain. Work and sex possible.
House later.
'Car?'
Tempting. Very.
Parents taught, "Son, house before car."
Unfortunately, I craved car more than house.
'Not expensive. Cheap one.'
Not luxury.
Good value, affordable.
'Avante?'
Avante.
God-tier value at around 20 million won.
Drive cheap, sell for good price later.
Above all, I wanted car sex.
One of my fantasies: sex in a car.
'Yeah. Good. Buy it.'
Decision made. Avante it is.
Get license this time too.
And Dad's car.
His beloved was a beat-up Morning. Rusty enough to junk any day.
'Feeling generous.'
Time for filial piety.
Upgrade his ride when I get mine.
Avante for Dad?
Or SUV?
Luxury might burden, but Avante or SUV? Easy gift.
Messaged Dad.
[Me: Want a car?]
[Me: Avante? SUV?]
Three minutes later, reply.
[Dad: Nah. Morning's fine.]
[Dad: SUV better than Avante maybe, but I'm good. Morning drives well.]
He wants SUV.
I nodded.
Gift him an SUV soon.
'Nice. Perfect.'
A pleased smile formed.
Happiness Score: 100/100
The Happiness Vending Machine gauge was full.
Squeeze-!
I pressed it.
Congratulations.
You have acquired Honey Skin Pill (10 points).
Oh?! Scored a 10-point Honey Skin Pill!!
'Jackpot.'
The Happiness Vending Machine gave 10-point items about one in three pulls.
Pulled 6-7 times a week, netting around 20 points.
Nice side income.
'Too happy.'
Happiness Score: 1/100
'Heh, nice.'
Happiness Score: 2/100
'Gifting Dad an SUV leaves about 110 million.'
What to do with the remaining 110 million?
'Save it. Invest.'
I was immersed in reading.
Ding-dong-!
The doorbell rang.
It was Oh Mi-yeon.
