Chapter 140: The Audience is Kim Min-su Outside the Window (Suit Illustration Added)
The day of the date, Sunday.
"Cadet Baek Tae-yang, you had a license?"
"Of course."
I gave an awkward smile as I waited for her to get into the car.
As soon as I’d woken up that morning, I had called Bogeumjari and asked them to have a car ready. Now, I suddenly felt a bit guilty. Even though they told me to ask for whatever I wanted whenever I needed it, nobody likes working first thing in the morning.
—Should we have a driver standby as well?
—No, I’ll be driving myself. Any kind of car is fine, as long as it runs. Haha.
I recalled the conversation from this morning.
—...So, Mr. Baek Tae-yang will be driving personally. Understood.
The person from Bogeumjari had wrapped up the call rather hastily as soon as they realized I’d be the one behind the wheel. At the time, I just figured they were busy because it was morning, but once I saw the car, I realized that wasn't the case.
To think they’d bring a brand-new car.
It goes without saying that you don't usually get a brand-new car delivered on the same day. The probability of a new car appearing before your eyes less than an hour after a phone call is practically zero.
However, Bogeumjari possessed the 'financial power' to make it entirely possible. They had simply used money to intercept a new car that was meant for some other wealthy individual.
They’re going this far for me? Isn't this a bit much just for saving a department store once? I even found myself thinking that.
Since a good thing is a good thing, I got in for now, only to find a statement inside confirming the car was registered in my name. The inner workings of a conglomerate's mind are truly a mystery, so I just drove here with the mindset that I’d simply gained a new car.
I don't really need such a nice car, though.
In the past, I used to see tons of videos on WeTube saying things like, 'You need to drive a luxury foreign car to increase your chances of picking up women.'
It’s all pointless.
It’s a cliché, but people don't date you for your car. The most important factor when meeting someone is...
The face.
Me on a bicycle versus Kim Min-su in an ultra-luxury foreign car. The probability of people choosing Kim Min-su in that scenario wasn't very high. A car isn't a tool for getting women; it’s just a means of transportation.
But this car is so nice it really stands out.
In fact, Ryu Hye-mi didn't get in right away. She circled the car once before finally sliding into the passenger seat. It probably wasn't out of admiration or surprise. In situations like this, it was always the same.
"Cadet Tae-yang, isn't this a bit too much overspending? From what I know, this costs hundreds of millions of won..."
"...Ah, well, they say you get what you pay for."
It was a lecture.
"No, but still... You aren't even a Hunter yet, so doing this already is just too..."
I had to choose my words very carefully here. If I messed up, I could end up looking like an immature cadet bragging about a fancy car. I had to make her understand without blatantly appealing to the idea that I’d spent the money for a rational reason.
Wait, no.
There was no need for that. A very simple solution came to mind.
"Bogeumjari gave it to me as a gift."
"Ah... because of the department store?"
"Exactly. Now, shall we stop talking about the car and get going?"
It’s not like we met up to talk about cars.
I buckled her seatbelt for her and stepped on the accelerator. Our destination was the recently opened Paradise Field.
My original plan had been to just shop comfortably together at Bogeumjari Mall. However, the destination had changed for one reason only.
It was because of Kim Min-su.
This little shit is right here.
Min-su, who had been active on In-Space lately, had made almost his entire private life public. From bed selfies to 'boyfriend material' shots and 'outfit of the day' posts, he was doing it all.
And a post had gone up saying he was coming to Paradise Field today.
Paradise Field was a massive new shopping mall, a place so large it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a small city. It was a place that had everything from major luxury brands to brands you’d never even heard of.
The reason Kim Min-su said he was coming here? I could only assume it was to buy clothes. He was likely trying to prepare outfits for when he’d be stuck to the Saintess during the joint training.
From that point on, I subtly overlapped my movements with Kim Min-su’s, making my presence felt. I made sure he could never catch me and Ryu Hye-mi on our date, but I ensured he would absolutely have to see my back.
I wanted to keep him in a constant state of suspicion.
Vrrr, vrrr.
Throughout the date, Ryu Hye-mi’s phone vibrated incessantly, signaling incoming messages.
"Is it Min-su again?"
"Yeah... I’ll just reply that I’m sleeping... and tell him I’m turning off my phone."
"That would be for the best."
At that moment, I felt like I didn't even need to continue the date anymore. Perhaps it was because I’d achieved all my goals.
After that, I simply copied the usual date routine I’d always done when I had a girlfriend. We ate, went to a cafe, rested, and walked around. Then, we slipped into an emergency staircase for some light outdoor exposure and a quick blowjob.
After taking off her panties, we sat next to each other in the movie theater, where I slid my hand into her pussy for some fingering.
After dinner, we went for another walk, then ducked between the trees deep in a park so I could cum on her face.
After finishing everything, I sent Ryu Hye-mi home.
And today is the day I finally harvest the fruit.
The reason I’d engaged in so much heavy petting without actually tearing her hymen? You could say it was all for today.
It’s funny how Melanie got pushed way back.
It wasn't set in stone, but based on the flow, Melanie was supposed to be the next one whose hymen I tore after Yu-min. But Ryu Hye-mi had suddenly surged ahead, and I’d unintentionally ended up neglecting Melanie.
I guess you really never know how things will turn out.
(Melanie)
> Tae-yang, we need to talk.
< I’m in the lab right now?
> ㅡㅡ... If you keep acting like this, I’m really going to get mad.
> Make sure you find a day for me before the joint training.
> No matter what it takes.
> Got it?
< Okay, I promise. Don't worry.
> I’m not worried about you!
> Well, maybe a little.
When I texted Melanie, I could literally read her emotions through the words. Since Melanie showed no signs of moving toward the erotic side of things, she was definitely being pushed back.
To think Ryu Hye-mi, who I thought would be the hardest, became easy, while Melanie, who I thought would be quick, is proving difficult.
As expected, you never know until you try.
Slide.
"Instructor, I’m here."
When I opened the lab door, Hye-mi was, as usual, wearing a sleeveless shirt with a suit jacket over it. It was an outfit that had become her signature.
"I told you that you can call me comfortably when it's just the two of us."
She smiled brightly at me while tying her hair, and I felt a strange sense of sex appeal. I wondered if this was what it felt like to be stared at by a beast in heat.
It looks like we’re thinking the exact same thing.
From her gaze to her body language, I could feel her determination to finish what we started yesterday.
"Should I?"
"Yeah."
In Su-jin’s case, it didn't matter if I emphasized being younger, but for Hye-mi, that could actually be counterproductive. The more I made the age gap apparent, the more distance it created. There was no better way to close that distance than by speaking casually.
It was about removing the barriers between us.
I naturally approached her and began to caress her fingers. I intentionally traced circles around her fourth finger—her ring finger—as I met her eyes.
Kiss her now.
A hand gesture reminiscent of a ring. An atmosphere stiff with a strange tension.
"Tae-yang... Mmph... Nngh...!"
It was time to begin the harvest in earnest.
And, of course, the audience was...
Kim Min-su, outside the window.
+++++++++++++++++++
I need to pay more attention to Hye-mi Nuna.
Kim Min-su stopped by the locker room before heading to the lab. Was it because he was always in his school uniform? Lately, he’d been getting the feeling that Ryu Hye-mi was subtly pushing him away. He didn't know if it was because she was shy or something else, but he figured changing his attire would solve the problem.
If she saw him out of his uniform and dressed in cool clothes, even for just a few minutes during a break, she would surely have no choice but to see him in a new light.
Min-su indulged in happy fantasies as he changed his clothes. Normally, he hadn't planned on stopping by the lab today. He knew the importance of playing hard to get, and even though he’d decided on Ryu Hye-mi as his main girl, nothing was set in stone yet.
But yesterday... I saw someone who looked just like her... I’m sure it’s just useless worrying, though.
Perhaps because Baek Tae-yang’s style was popular lately, he often saw men with white-dyed hair on the street. Yesterday, he’d seen a man who looked like Baek Tae-yang hanging out with a woman who looked like Ryu Hye-mi, which had made him very anxious.
Sigh... Being popular is tough.
Min-su finished changing into the clothes he’d bought yesterday and gave himself a final check in the full-length mirror. He’d taken the plunge and bought a full purple suit set to give off a bit of a 'bad boy' vibe.
He’d styled his hair in an all-back look, which was trending lately. He’d never used wax before, but he scooped a handful into his palm and slicked his hair back all at once.
Is it awkward?
It was probably just because it was his first time seeing it. Recalling a magazine article that said every man looks good with his hair pushed back, Kim Min-su stepped out of the locker room.
He headed toward the lab cautiously, making sure no one saw him.
It was all to give her a surprise.
