The Adulteress Goes to the Club
The next morning. It was Saturday — a day off from his part-time jobs.
Juhwan had barely slept at all.
And no wonder. What he had witnessed the night before had shaken him to his core.
A married woman, alone while her husband was away on a business trip, bringing a strange man into her home and having sex with him on the very bed she shared with her husband...
The kind of scenario you'd only ever see in a porn video — and it had happened directly above Juhwan's head.
He lay in bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, which still pulsed with that relentless noise. Apparently, after screwing a stranger all through the night, she was going for round two this morning as well.
Before long, the sounds ceased. Footsteps pattered across the floor above, then stopped.
"Fuck... it turns me on, but what the hell am I even looking at here..."
A short while later, Juhwan's phone chimed with a text.
It was from Dongyeop, a classmate from his department. Unlike Juhwan, who had come up from the provinces and lived alone near campus, Dongyeop was a Seoul native who still lived with his parents, just a few subway stops from school.
After everything from last night, Juhwan's head was a mess. He wasn't really in the mood, but figured a drink might clear it, so he agreed to meet Dongyeop.
Dongyeop already had a girlfriend in the department, too. And not just any girlfriend — the prettiest unnie among the sunbaes a year above them.
He wasn't much to look at, honestly, but his gift of gab was no joke. If you wanted to win a woman over, maybe this was why a smooth mouth mattered.
What's more, his dirty jokes were on par with Shin Dong-yeop the comedian — genuinely masterful.
The problem was that he didn't unleash that filth only around the guys. He did it around women too, constantly. But somehow he always walked the line just right, so even the girls didn't seem to outright hate him for it.
He was still texting his friend when another lewd moan drifted down from the apartment above.
"...Mmmh...... haah...!!!"
What now...? It's been quiet for a while — did the guy from last night leave already...?
When he listened closely, he could make out a strange buzzing sound underneath the moans. Juhwan guessed it was probably the vibration of a dildo.
That evening, Juhwan and Dongyeop met in the restaurant district near the club, in the busiest part of town.
The menu: pork belly.
Grinded down by part-time work day in and day out, Juhwan almost never got to eat a proper meal like this. How long had it been since his last real dose of grease? He shoved last night's affair to the back of his mind and devoured meat and soju like a man possessed.
"Aigoo, you poverty-stricken bastard... eat slow, I'm not stealing it from you."
Maybe because the place sat right by the clubs, plenty of pretty, sexy women kept streaming past the restaurant.
"Hey, hey — three o'clock, incoming lmaooo. Fuuuck, that girl is insanely hot. Haaah~ if only I didn't have a girlfriend, I'd go hit on her right now. Such a waste, right?"
"Or hey, why don't YOU go try it lol. Remember when you went to the bathhouse with me and the other guys? Yours was gigantic, man lol."
"Isn't that right? Nine out of ten women who come around here are hunting for a guy lol. Go strike up a conversation, flash your dick once, and chicks who'll fall for it are a dime a dozen?"
"Shut up and eat your food, asshole."
That was what he said — but Juhwan couldn't take his eyes off them either.
Women walking past the window in tops cut so low their cleavage spilled out, women in hot pants so short their ass cheeks hung out, and then the ones wearing little more than fishnet... Unless he was gay, there was no way not to stare as they prowled around the neighborhood.
And so the empty soju bottles kept piling up on the table, until Juhwan and Dongyeop were drunk out of their minds.
"Hey, Juhwan lol. I'm asking out of genuine concern here. You're not gay, are you?"
"Hahaha fuck no lmaooo"
"Then why don't you have a girl???? Your style's kind of dumpy, sure, but honestly your face is basically top-tier in our whole department, no?????"
He had a point. Even during freshman orientation and the department retreat, Juhwan had been handsome enough that quite a few girls had made approaches.
The problem was his fashion sense — and his timid, hesitant personality that froze up whenever a woman came near. The girls who approached him always ended up drifting away, cooling off before anything could start.
"......Hey, Dongyeop. About that, actually."
Wine-drunk, Juhwan hesitated a moment, then spoke up.
"So...... my building. Something's... off about it??"
"Off how?? Is it haunted?? A virgin ghost?? Wait, so you DIDN'T fuck her, you gay bastard?"
"No lmaooo ah stop being funny for once lol. Specifically — the apartment upstairs."
"Is she pretty?"
"I haven't even properly talked to her yet??? Could you maybe be serious for five seconds, bro??"
"Okay, okay. Let's go. Spill it."
Juhwan hesitated once more, then continued.
"Okay so... there's a married couple living upstairs from me??? And the wife is fucking gorgeous... From what I've seen her tits have to be at least an F-cup..."
"So did you jerk off??"
"No, fuck you lol, would you shut up for a second."
"My building is one of those officetels with terrible soundproofing... and I can hear them having sex upstairs."
"Oh, shit...... invite me over sometime."
Juhwan ignored the joke and kept going.
"So at first I figured it was her and her husband... but then it got so loud. Too loud, you know what I mean?"
"So the next morning I took a cake I'd bought at the convenience store and went up to their door?? And it turns out the husband isn't there — only the wife answered."
"So you pounced???? On the married woman??"
"............ Turns out the husband... left on an overseas business trip a few days ago. The house has been empty ever since."
Dongyeop went quiet for a moment as he took it in — then practically vibrated with excitement.
"......FUCK, what did you say?????"
"You heard me."
"So......... the husband's been gone on a trip for days, hasn't come home once, and while he's away, the wife brought a man into her own house and BANGED him????????"
Dongyeop suddenly shoved back his chair, stood up, and grabbed his crotch.
"Wooo~ damn lmaoooooooo my groin is heating up already!!!!!"
"You're embarrassing me, you shit!! Sit down!!"
"Hey lmaooo that's confirmed, right????? That's literally a scene straight out of a porn lol. Husband leaves on a business trip, house goes empty, so she drags men in to satisfy her cravings — a horny bitch in heat lolol"
"And that horny bitch is the woman living above YOU!"
"I don't know that yet, asshole........."
"So did you get hard listening to her? lolol"
"Agh, hahahahahaha"
By the time the noise and nonsense had run their course, it was already pushing ten at night.
"Hey, let's get out of here... I slept so badly last night I'm already wrecked, ugh..."
"Pathetic little bitch................ Anyway, you went up to the apartment because of the noise, right? And only the wife came out, the husband turned out to be on a business trip, and then what???"
They settled the bill and stepped out in front of the restaurant to smoke and sober up.
"And then that bitch starts... telling me I'm a broke renter and everything, and kicks me out..."
"......Hey, Juhwan. There's your answer."
"What answer???"
"You dim bastard lololol. Alright, listen carefully to what your big bro has to say. From this moment on, you gather evidence of her affair lol"
"Evidence??? (showing a photo taken near the officetel last night, of So-hee entering an elevator with another man) You mean something like this??"
"OH!!! Fuck me, you only see her from behind and her body is unreal??"
"Anyway, listen. You collect evidence like this, one piece at a time. A single photo won't cut it lol — the more, the better."
"And then?"
"What do you mean, 'and then'? When her husband's gone, you go RIGHT upstairs, show this bitch everything you've gathered lololol"
"And what happens next? The woman panics. That's how it works. Then she starts babbling, asking what you want."
"Yeah... that sounds like you. And then?"
"And then? Game over lololol. Offer to look the other way if she gives you a taste. And from that night on, she becomes your plaything lol"
"Who am I kidding, 'that night' — I mean for the rest of her LIFE lol. She ascends to the throne of your personal sex slave, sucking your dick under the table while you eat dinner lololol"
"Do you really think I'm built for that? Maybe if it were you."
"Yeah~ you couldn't eat it even if it was served to you, moron~"
The two of them started walking toward the subway station.
And then, just in front of the station, an extremely familiar figure brushed past — a woman, and a genuinely beautiful one.
He turned around... Dongyeop, oblivious, kept walking straight ahead.
...That's her.
It's definitely her.
That hairstyle, that hair color, that body... one look and I know it's her...
What do I do...? He hesitated — then remembered what Dongyeop had said just moments ago.
After a beat of indecision, he mustered his courage on the strength of the liquor.
"Hey, Dongyeop. Go on ahead. I've got something to take care of around here."
"Huh? Hey! What's going on!! You're ditching your friend??"
"I don't know, damn it, just go in without me!!"
So-hee kept walking, oblivious to everything.
You'd hardly believe she was a married woman. A wave of perfume rolled off her body, and for all that she was wearing clothes at all, it felt like she had nothing on but scraps of fabric — a cardigan thrown over the whole thing.
Juhwan held his breath and shadowed her in secret.
His tail led him to a club.
So-hee strolled in without a flicker of hesitation.
It was past ten thirty at night.
Juhwan tried to follow, but a bouncer at the entrance blocked his way.
"Sorry, sir, haha~ that outfit's a bit of a problem~ Please change and come back."
Left with no choice, Juhwan ducked into the convenience store beside the club entrance and kept waiting for So-hee.
His eyelids kept drooping, but the thought of Dongyeop's words — and of So-hee, of all people, brushing right past him like something out of a trashy melodrama — had his heart pounding in turmoil.
A lecherous woman... Was Dongyeop actually right???
He had seen things with his own eyes around his building, of course, but he'd never been fully certain.
Watching her walk so calmly into that club, though, the certainty began to harden.
Right now, in there, she's probably doing this and that with one guy after another.
Three hours later — one thirty in the morning.
Juhwan, dozing off over a cup ramen in the convenience store, jolted awake.
Miraculously still conscious, he looked toward the club entrance — So-hee was nowhere in sight.
But then, as his gaze swept the area around the club door, he spotted it: far down the street, the back of So-hee walking away with a man at her side.
Same outfit as before. Hot pants and a tank top.
When he'd first seen her she'd been alone — but now she was walking arm in arm with some man reeking of cheap cologne.
There was no time to waste.
Juhwan bolted out of the convenience store and resumed tailing her like a spy in a movie.
By the time they reached the main road, So-hee and the man flagged down a taxi waiting at the curb and vanished somewhere beyond it.
No... no way...!
Juhwan sprinted after them and jumped into the taxi idling right behind.
"Driver! Follow that car, please!"
As the taxi trailed the one carrying So-hee, Juhwan's heart hammered like mad.
It wouldn't have surprised him if it had just stopped outright.
It was how a man with no experience with women might feel — like a soldier shipped off to the army, dragged by a senior with dubious intentions out on overnight leave, headed to a brothel for his very first time.
That was exactly the state of Juhwan's heart.
The taxi carrying So-hee stopped. Juhwan's own taxi pulled up much farther back.
......It was the building.
Their building. His building, again.
So this was what she'd been doing the whole time — bringing men home whenever her husband was away.
"......Filthy little bitch."
Excitement and fury coexisted in Juhwan's chest — the man she'd scorned out onto the street, calling him a broke renter.
He took photos from the shadows, waited until So-hee and the man boarded the elevator first, then climbed the stairs separately.
The moment he reached his apartment, he started the voice recorder on his phone.
And sure enough... So-hee did not fail to live up to his expectations.
"Haaang!! Ah, baby!! I think I'm coming!! Should we go together??♡"
"You're better than my husband... hahaha You kept reaching into my clothes and groping my tits at the club earlier... did you want to fuck me that badly??"
"You animal...!! Come here, give me that dick, you bastard! Tonight I'm going to tear your cock to pieces♡"
The dialogue only climbed from there.
Juhwan's cock was swelling along with it, but he held onto his reason and kept the recorder running.
Then, suddenly, Dongyeop's drunken words came back to him.
Use the evidence you've collected as leverage — and then fuck her.
The moment he thought of it, his cock stiffened shamelessly on its own.
The more he dwelt on it, the more aroused he became.
He lacked the courage to put that plan into motion — but imagination was no crime.
And so, while the recorder hummed away and So-hee's performance poured through the wall, Juhwan's hand slipped, without his own permission, into his pants to console his loneliness.
Through it all, the obscene racket from upstairs went on and on.
"There.!! Fuck me harder!! Aaahn♡ you fucking bastard♡ I'm losing my mind♡"
It looked like Juhwan was in for another sleepless night.
