Naked Bus Tour
"Aaaah!"
A piercing scream, people's stares, and someone spewing curses and explanations—but no one paid any attention.
"No, really, I hate this...!"
Maybe she figured if she slipped out of my sight, I'd do something even worse, because even though she was covering her body, she didn't actually try to hide or run away.
"Haha, smart girl. I was thinking of making you masturbate right there if you kept hiding."
"Over here is Cheongui Lake."
Following the guide's words, everyone turned their gazes, and sure enough, a brilliantly blue lake stretched out before us, living up to its name.
He gave some explanation about volcanic influences or whatever, but everyone was already lost in the scenery, and his words just washed over us without sinking in.
"Whoa, it's really pretty..."
Yoonah gazed at the lake in awe. Even with just a mask on, she looked stunning as ever.
"Yeah, seriously beautiful."
I snapped a bunch of photos, but no shot could capture its full beauty. If only I could shoot like that photographer from the Taksin-gwan earlier. Maybe I should learn some photography while I'm at it?
I also took several shots of Yoonah's back as she admired the lake.
"Can't say much beyond 'beautiful,' huh?"
"Right, brother?"
"Yeah, exactly."
"You can wander and enjoy Cheongui Lake freely for about 10 minutes, then we'll head down."
"Got it!"
The guide pointed out a few prime photo spots, and we all snapped pics there together.
"Guide bro, get in one with us!"
"Nah, I'm good."
"Come on, aren't you basically part of our group with Yoonah and the crew?"
I'd whispered it low, but Yoonah overheard and nudged my shoulder.
"Hey, can you take a photo for us?"
Outgoing Gijun stepped up to ask other tourists, and we ended up taking group shots with the guide too. Then Gijun returned the favor, snapping pics for the couples who'd helped us out, preserving memories all around.
"Satisfied with your shots? Time to head down?"
"Yeah, can't wait for the next spot."
This tour was packed with one gem after another. Even if I came back solo next time instead of on a tour, it'd feel fresh and exciting.
"Mm, but honestly, don't get your hopes up too high for White Beard Falls this time of year."
"Oh, really?"
"Yeah, you gotta come in winter to see it at its best."
"Ooh, then we definitely have to return this winter."
"Hit me up when you do—I'll clear my schedule and wait."
"You got it."
The guide mentioned he lived in Japan full-time. So we'd have to make time to visit Japan, or he'd have to come to Korea for us to meet again. Either way, it'd be fun catching up after so long.
"White Beard Falls..."
As we descended, he repeated the explanation he'd given me earlier to the group. Everyone voiced their regrets, but we turned it into a promise to reunite here in winter. Yoonah nodded eagerly too.
"Now it's a double promise—we gotta make time somehow."
"I've been planning to from the start."
"Haa..."
The crazy bitch kept sighing nonstop, but no one gave a damn. Then, right before we arrived at White Beard Falls and got off the bus, she shuffled over to me.
"Please... can't we call it quits now...?"
Today's schedule seemed light anyway—no real plans left. Even if people spotted her, whatever.

Target Designation: Crazy Bitch.

What a good boy. He follows orders so perfectly—no need to repeat myself.
"Have you reflected enough?"
"Yes..."
"I'll apologize to everyone. Sincerely."
Her face looked genuine. Fair enough—forcing a normal person to wander naked in front of crowds would drive anyone mad. She was already nuts, but still.
"Alright, let's end it with this. Not much schedule left anyway."
"W-what?"
"Masturbate in front of people. Then I'll let you dress up after and won't bother you anymore."
"Y-yes?! Th-that's impossible..."
"Then strip and wander naked for the rest of the tour—only one stop left anyway."
Maybe that'd be more practical than masturbating. Who knows.
"Please, forgive me...!"
Her begging now just screamed she hated more punishment.
"Hmm, you do seem properly sorry now, so..."
"S-so...?"
"No need to do it right in front of people. Just masturbate anywhere outside—no indoors. And for proof, film a video and send it to me."
I grabbed her phone and jotted down my messenger ID.
"Send it here. Good luck."
This was lenient enough. I'd originally planned to make her do it on that bridge in front of everyone until she pissed herself.
Time Manipulation release.
Time Manipulation has been released.
It felt a bit wasteful using it for such a short time, but whatever.
"Hurry up, Jisoo."
"Yeah, Yoonah. Coming."
We got off the bus.
