What the Hell Happened?
“Did you pass this time?”
The first words out of my mother’s mouth gouged straight into my heart.
Her voice over the phone carried equal parts hope and worry.
“I’m sorry, Mom…….”
“It’s okay. I’m the one who’s sorry. Taebok, if it’s too hard, you can come home anytime.”
She sounded lost, not knowing what else to say.
“Get some rest, and we’ll talk again once you’ve had time to sort things out. You’ve worked so hard, son.”
“Yeah. I’ll hang up now.”
I stood alone in the middle of the street. People rushed past me on either side. When I lifted my head, the painfully clear blue sky only made me feel more pathetic.
“Haa… damn, it’s so blue.”
This neighborhood was packed with exam prep goshiwons, so the streets were full of young people wearing the same dark, defeated look.
“Woo! I knew you’d make it, you bastard!”
“Aw man, I’m so sorry.”
“Sorry for what? You’re buying!”
“Fine! Drinks are on me tonight!”
“Let’s get a free meal off a firefighter for once.”
I walked past a group celebrating a successful candidate outside a goshiwon entrance. Their conversation made my insides rot a little more.
I failed. That guy passed.
“Haa… I need a drink.”
I stopped by a supermarket for soju and snacks, then headed back to my officetel.
“Hello.”
The woman from next door, dressed in a hoodie, greeted me as I arrived.
“Yeah, hello.”
“……Are you okay?”
“Huh?”
“You don’t look well.”
Even she, who always looked gloomy herself, could tell I was in bad shape.
“I’m… fine. Yeah.”
“……Okay.”
She pulled her hood tighter and disappeared past me.
“Haa….”
Even I could tell I was doing nothing but sighing.
Inside, the mess I’d been neglecting for days hit me at once. I kicked some junk on the floor out of the way and dropped onto the seat in front of the TV.
“Tomorrow. I’ll deal with it tomorrow. Haa….”
I shoved the stack of dishes on the living room table aside and set out the soju and snacks.
“Khh, that’s smooth.”
I left the TV on and drank blankly, staring at the screen. The buzz was starting, but it wasn’t enough. When I reached for more, the bottle was empty.
“Haa… tsk.”
I staggered to the nearest convenience store and cleaned out their soju shelf. Realizing I hadn’t eaten anything all day, I ordered whatever sounded good and headed home.
While waiting for the delivery, I drank and ate chips. The news was on TV.
“In this week’s Person of the Week segment, we’re joined by actress Han Sera, who just won the Rookie Award at the Baekcheon Arts Awards. Welcome.”
“Hello, I’m actress Han Sera. Nice to meet you.”
“Nice to meet you as well. Actress Han Sera, you…”
I stared at the screen, and tears started rolling down my face.
“Fuck…….”
My first girlfriend. My ex. My last girlfriend. Every memory of romance I had was tied to her. And there she was, on TV.
A year ago.
We’d started dating while living in the same officetel complex. Not long after, Sera passed an audition and shot up into stardom. We’d become a couple after spending the night together without either of us even asking. And when it ended, I heard it through her manager.
Memories of listening to her worries in this very apartment, running lines with her, came flooding back one after another.
I knocked back another shot.
“Khh. At least you’re doing well. That’s what matters.”
—Ding-dong. Ding-dong.
The delivery must have arrived.
“Yeah, just a second.”
I opened the front door to find my old friend Kim Sohee standing there holding the food bags.
“What the hell are you doing here?”
“The delivery guy was standing outside, so I took it for you.”
She shoved past me into the apartment.
“Ugh, the smell. When was the last time you cleaned?”
“Uh…….”
“Tsk tsk. Sitting here alone wallowing and getting wasted, huh.”
“Want a drink?”
“Sure. I’ll grab a glass. God, you didn’t even do the dishes. Look at this kitchen.”
While she washed a set of utensils for herself, I cleared a space on the floor so she’d have somewhere to sit. Once she settled, I poured for her and we drank together.
The news segment had already ended; some variety show was on next.
“Hey, about today’s exam… never mind. You worked hard, okay?”
“Yeah. Thanks for the comfort.”
“So what now? Heading back to your hometown?”
“Haa… I don’t know. Gonna rest a few days and think it over.”
She looked at me with a complicated expression.
“You got something on your mind too?”
“……No. Just drink.”

“Ugh, this guy is so damn heavy.”
Sohee barely managed to haul the drunk, dozing Taebok onto the bed.
I’ve already failed seven auditions this year alone. Every rejection felt like it was carving pieces out of me.
With another audition only days away and the desperate need to do something, she’d called Sera.
After hearing her out, Sera had said something completely insane.
“Taebok is the answer.”
“What?”
“Taebok’s got good energy.”
“I have no idea why you’re talking about your boyfriend right now?”
“Want me to tell you how I passed my audition?”
“Yes! That! Sera, please help me.”
“I failed every single one too, you know. But then…….”
“But then…?”
“I slept with Taebok. And I passed the next audition.”
“What kind of bullshit is that? Are you messing with me?”
“I’m not, Sohee. I’m serious. After I slept with him, the moment I walked into that audition, I just knew. I was going to pass.”
Sohee had nothing to say, so she just stayed quiet. Sera’s voice kept coming.
“It was weird. When I read the script, the emotions just came like it was my own life. When I acted, I shocked even myself—like, did I always have this kind of talent?”
“So you’re telling me to believe that right now?”
“Sohee, I only told you the facts. Whether you do anything about it is up to you.”
Sera tossed out one last line before hanging up.
“If Taebok says no, then none of it matters. Just put your heart into it. Anyway, I’m busy—I’ll call you later.”
The staff voices in the background had made Sohee so jealous she could taste it.
For a few days, she ignored what Sera had said. But as the audition drew closer, that little “what if” started filling her head more and more.
So this is why people go to fortune-tellers and buy charms.
Time passed until the audition was tomorrow. She’d waited until today because she was afraid Taebok—still waiting on his own results—might refuse.
There are people who sell their bodies to sponsors. This is basically the same thing.
She pulled the pants off the sleeping Taebok. Thanks to all that firefighter exam training, the first thing she noticed was his thick, solid thighs. Once the pants were off, she reached for his boxer briefs.
“Okay. I can do this.”
She tugged the briefs down, and a wave of masculine scent rose from between his legs.
“Eup!”
Looking at Taebok’s cock, she realized that the musty room smell had probably been coming from here all along.
“Pwah… this part wasn’t in any of the content…….”
It wasn’t like she’d never watched porn, but she’d never studied it either. She’d crammed hard in case he rejected her, and now she was facing something she hadn’t prepared for.
“Sniff… is it because he didn’t shower?”
Wanting to finish before he woke up, she hurriedly stripped and climbed onto the bed, settling between his legs.
Take the penis in your hand and stimulate it gently up and down. Spitting on it for lubrication works well.
Following the porn teacher’s instructions, she wrapped one hand around his cock and stroked it carefully.
“It’s hot… oh, it’s getting bigger. Weird. It’s a little soft, though?”
If it hasn’t hardened yet, take the head into your mouth like you’re swallowing a whole ice cream cone. Caution: if your teeth touch it, he can go soft instantly.
“Ugh… the smell. …Haauup.”
—Slurp. Slurp.
“Nngh…….”
Taebok let out a moan and started to roll over. Sohee pushed herself up on her elbows so she wouldn’t get trapped between his legs. Luckily, his body settled again.
He started snoring softly.
“Huu…….”
She lowered her head and slowly began sucking him again.
—Slurp. Slurp.
It grew bigger and harder inside her mouth.
“Pwah… is that it? But this thing is way too big…….”
If a woman’s vagina isn’t wet enough, it can tear. Make sure you’re thoroughly lubricated first.
She touched between her own legs—already soaked.
Next.
In the cowgirl position, rather than bouncing hard, rocking the pelvis forward and back can provide greater stimulation. Caution: without enough practice, you may get a cramp in your stomach.
She rose and knelt astride Taebok’s hips. Holding his cock with one hand, she lowered herself—but the tip kept slipping out, front and back, as if the entrance wouldn’t line up.
“Hnn… why is this so hard.”
Every time his cock brushed past her folds, a moan slipped out of her on its own. She slowly held him in place, leaned her waist down, and finally felt the head seal tight against her entrance.
“Hnnnnngh…!”
As she eased her body down, she felt a massive foreign object pushing its way through her lower belly.
Lean your upper body against the man and use your pelvis to stimulate his cock rapidly. He will ejaculate soon.
Chapter 5, my ass. She’d gotten stuck halfway through Chapter 4.
It hurt like something was tearing. She froze with her ass hovering in the air.
“I’m supposed to move like this? Cowgirl is hard as hell.”
She began rocking her body slowly up and down, and with every motion a moan escaped as a huge surge of sensation drove into her brain.
—Schlick. Schlick.
“Haah… haah… it feels good but this is exhausting.”
Repeating it over and over, her strength started to fail.
“Haah… haugh!”
Her posture collapsed and her hips slammed down onto Taebok’s pelvis.
“Hiiiik!”
A ripping pain and the pleasure of a hard pillar driving all the way into her skull made her body shudder violently. Unable to think, she twitched her pelvis on top of his lower belly and waited for the convulsions to stop.
“Hweh… I’ve never felt anything like this…….”
Before she knew it, the pain had faded and only pleasure was jammed into her brain.
—Schlick. Schlick.
“Hngh… hngh…”
She moved her waist without even noticing the moans that spilled out in time with the motion.
—Schlick. Schlick. Schlick.
“Haa… haa… when is this guy going to come already.”
Exhausted, she collapsed onto Taebok’s chest and kept working her hips.
“Ahhk… wait—”
Pleasure flooded her mind again until she went hazy, her waist seizing in another spasm.
—Chit. Chitchit!
“Nngh…….”
Unable to hold back a sudden, fierce urge to pee, she made a mess all over Taebok’s lap.
Best case: finish the job and run before he wakes up. Second best: make him think he wet himself in his sleep.
In a panic, she shook her hips harder.
—Schlick. Schlick. Schlick.
“Hngh… hngh… hyaang…”
As if it still wasn’t done, his cock swelled even bigger inside her.
“Ahhng… ahang… how much… haang… bigger are you going to get.”
She felt him swell inside her, and then he came.
“Hwaaaangh!”
A climax that refused to end wrapped around her entire body. She clamped her mouth shut against the scream and writhed in Taebok’s arms.
In the porn teacher’s lessons, ejaculation had been brief. Reality went on and on.
“Haa… haa… haa… I think I’m going crazy.”
She muttered to herself, nestled against his chest.
“Me too.”
An answer came back.
