"What scheme is this now?"
Sighing, I buttoned up my shirt.
I'd thrown on some decent clothes, but in a situation where I had no clue what might go down today, what was the point?
Still, Grandma Choi's words from earlier nagged at me uneasily—I couldn't just brush them off.
I glanced in the mirror to check my outfit one last time, then headed out the door.
'Maybe she's introducing me to a girl?'
By the time I reached the supermarket, Grandma Choi was already waiting out front.
She wore that same meaningful smile.
"Tsk tsk, that outfit'll do just fine."
Grandma Choi turned and started walking, so I followed.
Even as we walked, questions kept swirling in my head.
Where the hell were we headed?
For her to show up out of nowhere and tell me to wash up and change, something big was definitely brewing.
"Tsk tsk, here we are."
"...Pardon?"
We'd arrived at a vast cornfield stretching endlessly under the blue sky.
And there were a bunch of people there.
Mostly young female college students, all bustling around picking corn.
"What in the world..."
"I heard some students were doing a rural experience program."
"But why'd you call me?"
"You're the only young guy in this backwater village. Gotta help out when it counts."
Ha...
On top of that, this was Soeun-i's parents' cornfield, so I spotted Soeun-i there too.
Layer upon layer of trouble.
I let out a deep sigh and looked at Grandma Choi.
"Hoo... You should've at least told me to wear something comfortable. I nearly showed up in a suit."
"Who knows? Your future wife might be one of these college girls."
Why were all the elders in this village so obsessed with my love life?
Especially since I'd already been married and divorced once.
"Oh, Oppa!"
While I was talking with Grandma Choi, Soeun-i spotted me from afar and came running over.
Panting, she stopped in front of me and wiped sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand.
"...Hey."
"Hey! What brings you here, Oppa?"
"Grandma Choi said they needed extra hands."
"Oh! I organized this rural experience, but way more people showed up than I expected."
"Yeah?"
"But Oppa, does that mean the bathhouse construction's all done?"
Sure enough, Soeun-i jumped straight to asking about the bathhouse.
Hiding my discomfort, I nodded as casually as I could.
"Pretty much. Starting next week, I'll have some free time."
"R-Really!? Then we can drink like old times?"
If anything, Soeun-i—with her unreadable depths—felt more unnerving than the Gold Fairy, who wore her intentions on her sleeve.
I reluctantly curved my lips into a slight smile.
"...Yeah?"
"Yay! I can't wait!"
I'd already planned to meet the victim this Saturday to ask about the incident, so I lied about the construction wrapping up next week.
Anyway, the conversation was heading toward locking in plans if it kept going.
To change the subject, I subtly turned my gaze to the cornfield.
"Since we're here, wanna get to work?"
"Y-Yeah!"
I walked past the female college students doing their rural experience, heading straight into the cornfield.
Truth be told, I'd done part-time work here plenty of times since I was a kid, thanks to my mom's friendship with Soeun-i's mother.
So picking corn with the hand motions I'd learned back then was no big deal.
"Hup!"
I bent at the waist, grabbed an ear with a familiar twist, and snapped it off.
Then one of the college girls nearby came over, impressed.
"Wow, you're so good at it!"
"Haha! Just helped out here a few times as a kid."
"You live around here?"
"Yep, born and raised."
I tried not to pay it much mind, but the girls' attention seemed to be shifting my way.
Before I knew it, I was surrounded by college girls.
-Excuse me, but how old are you?
-You must work out a lot. What do you do?
-Can we check out your house after the experience? I've never lived in the countryside and I'm super curious about rural homes.
-Oppa, look at this. Did I pick it right?
Living out here in the sticks, even after eating the Heavenly Peach, I hadn't had much chance to gauge reactions to my changed looks.
The stares were a bit overwhelming, but after so long without attention, it wasn't all bad.
Except for one thing.
Smooth.
Yoo Soeun, standing off in the distance, keeping her space from me in one corner of the field.
Everyone else was chatting and laughing in groups, enjoying the experience.
But not her.
She stood there quietly, as if cut off from the world.
And worse.
Her expression wasn't just dark.
It radiated a mad obsession and possessiveness you could feel from afar.
'This is fucking uncomfortable.'
A strange pressure sent chills down my spine.
Like my whole body was being squeezed in a vise?
A sinister aura seemed to blanket the entire field.
"Hold on, gotta take this call."
I said it as naturally as possible and slipped away from the girls.
Heading somewhere out of Soeun-i's burning line of sight.
"Oh, Haeseong's here? Mind helping move this if you're free?"
It was Soeun-i's mom.
A decent hideout, if I do say so myself.
No matter what, she wouldn't get jealous of her own mom.
"Sure, happy to help."
A few hours later, the long experience program was winding down.
While Soeun-i's mom handed out snacks to the students and said goodbyes amid the chaos, I quietly slipped away.
"Ha... fuck."
Back home, fatigue and stress hit me like a truck.
Labor was work enough, but enduring Soeun-i's heavy stares all day had me fuming late.
'How long do I have to keep getting dragged around?'
I headed straight for the fridge.
Opened it, cold air brushed my face, and I rummaged until I found a beer can.
But weak stuff like that wouldn't cut it right now.
'Soju today.'
I brought the bottle straight to my lips, no pour.
Gulp—
The strong alcohol burned down my throat, but I ignored it and chugged half in one go.
Bitter taste coated my tongue, yet somehow that bitterness dulled my irritation a bit.
"Feels a little better."
Moving out right away was tough with the fairy situation.
And reporting Soeun-i for trespassing with the CCTV evidence? Her parents and I went too far back for that.
'As long as the neighbors don't gossip about rooftop strolls and house lurking not being crimes, I'll count my blessings.'
I roughly rubbed my face with my hand.
As the booze started kicking in slow, water sounds came from the rooftop.
Splash splash splash!
Splash splash splash!
Splash splash splash!
Now I could tell who it was just from the intensity of the rooftop water noise.
I dumped the remaining half of the soju in my mouth and slowly climbed the stairs.
Sure enough, the Gold Fairy.
Buzzed, I wobbled a bit as I bowed at the waist.
"You're here."
"...What's with your face?"
"Had a drink."
"Why?"
"Just felt off, so I had one."
But.
The Gold Fairy, who'd seemed ready to offer comfort, climbed out of the water with a blank expression.
She plopped her ass on the chair, spread her legs slightly, and crooked a finger.
"Then lick my pussy first."
Like my mood meant nothing to her.
Seeing that brought the day's stress flashing back.
'Fuck, how long do I have to keep getting pushed around!?'
Right now, I had two Heavenly Peaches from Yama King in my pocket.
Original plan was to pop both and ravage the Gold Fairy.
But now, even one felt like a waste.
Pride had taken over.
Step—
Step—
Quiet footsteps as the water sounds faded.
One step.
Two steps.
I approached the Gold Fairy slowly.
She started off relaxed.
But as I got closer, she tilted her head at my expression, sensing something off.
"...Huh?"
The Gold Fairy's eyes flickered uncertainly.
Normally, she'd snap, 'What's that look? Wanna die!?' and come at me.
This time, instinct made her pull back slightly.
"W-What's wrong?"
The booze fueled courage surging from deep inside.
I yanked off my pants and underwear in one go, and the Gold Fairy trembled, cheeks quivering in genuine bewilderment—the first I'd ever seen.
"Lick it."
"What...?"
I took another step forward.
My cock was now a paper's width from her lips.
With a faint smile, I gently gripped her hair with my fingers.
"Suck it like a lollipop."
