Chapter 29. No Problem Even Alone
The next morning, I woke up to the sound of my alarm.
Today was the day I'd be manning the store all by myself since Unni was off for her mom's birthday, so I needed some special resolve.
"Haaah... gotta get up..."
Lying there in bed with my eyes closed, I figured it wouldn't be any different from usual.
That's when a sudden wave of anxiety flashed through my mind.
What if a customer asks about some adult toy I don't know about? What do I do then?
"Ugh... well, it'll work itself out somehow."
They say people can be surprisingly simple-minded sometimes, and sure enough, once I actually got up the next day, the anxiety was gone.
I washed up thoroughly, flung open my closet, and pondered what to wear today.
"Hmm... what should I go with?"
Today, I'd basically be in the store manager's position, so I needed to put in extra effort.
"Maybe something that makes me look more mature."
I stared endlessly at my closet stuffed with clothes, but nothing really jumped out at me.
"Why do I have so many clothes but nothing to wear?"
I'd bought tons of outfits, yet here I was.
"This one... this one... and this. Oh, necklace and earrings too."
After slipping into the clothes I'd picked, I sat at my vanity and added the necklace and earrings to amp up the mature vibe.
"It'd be nice if Unni could see me like this."
It was a real shame there was no Yui Unni around to check me out.
-Bzzz! Bzzz!
Just as I finished getting ready and was about to head to work, my phone vibrated.
I checked it, hoping it might be Yui Unni, but it was from Mom.
Sorry, Mom, but since it wasn't who I wanted, a sigh slipped out first.
"Yeah, Mom?"
"Chae-ah, did you buy more clothes again?"
"Huh? How'd you know?"
"I'm at your place?"
"Ah, I forgot to change the address. I'll pick it up next week, so don't open it—leave it as is."
"If you'd saved that clothes money, you'd have your own place by now."
One slip-up, and I was getting nagged first thing in the morning.
Truth be told, Mom was completely right, so I couldn't complain.
I did blow 40% of my freelance earnings on clothes, after all.
(And 60% on adult toys, just FYI.)
Save money? Pfft, next year's me will handle that.

I arrived at the Adult Toy Store entrance and went to punch in the door lock code, only to find the door already unlocked.
"Huh? Is Unni here?"
I'd confirmed she'd locked up last night, so this meant she'd come by.
"Boss, you here?"
I called out after stepping inside, but no answer came.
All the store lights were off, so maybe she'd forgotten to lock up when she left.
That's when I spotted light leaking from the closed Staff Room door.
"Boss?"
The sight that greeted me when I opened the Staff Room door froze me on the spot.
"What? Why're you here so early?"
There stood Yui Unni.
But far from being thrilled, I just gawked in stunned silence.
"Chae-ah?"
"Wh-who... are you...?"
"Who else? Your boss."
The voice was unmistakably Yui Unni's.
But this wasn't the Unni she usually showed me.
Her outfit, makeup, accessories—everything was brand new to me.
"B-boss...?"
"Yeah, it's me."
"F-for real...?"
"Pfft, that different, huh?"
A crisp white blazer and slacks, with a black turtleneck underneath.
And that was just the start.
Sharp eyeliner that made her gaze even more piercing, a noble updo hairstyle screaming luxury, flashy accessories to top it off.
Her new look filled my vision so completely that a nosebleed right there wouldn't have been out of place.
"Uh... uhhh...!"
"What's with that reaction? Weird?"
"N-no..."
"Then?"
I'd seen a tweet like this once.
70% of lesbians are into older women.
Now I finally got why.
How could you not be, looking like that?
"Y-you're insane!!!!"
"Whoa, you scared me..."
"U-Unni... no, boss! What is this?! You look so handsome today. Like, ridiculously cool!"
"Didn't expect this kind of reaction."
"Why're you at the store? To seduce me? Right? That's it—you're here to seduce me!"
"Nah. Forgot my wallet, just came to grab it."
No matter what Unni said, my brain only registered that she was here to seduce me.
I rushed over and grabbed both her hands.
"Unni..."
"What?"
"Let's have sex!"
I stated my wish loud and proud.
Right now, this Yui Unni could pin me down over and over, make me cum endlessly, and I'd go all day—my pussy was blazing for it.
"What kinda crazy talk this early?"
"Unni, you look too good! This is cheating!"
"Figured you'd react like this, that's why I was gonna come and go quick, but you beat me here."
"Should I strip now? Or do it with clothes on?!"
I was chaining filthy fantasies in my head, just about to undo her pants button.
Then Unni squished my face hard.
"Mmph...!"
"Calm down. Just here for my wallet."
"No sex?"
"Nope. Already late, gotta head out."
"Unni, you coming to the store today?"
"Maybe. If it wraps up quick, yeah. Otherwise, tomorrow."
The hand that had roughly squished my face now gently stroked my hair.
"Take good care of the store. See you tomorrow."
"Unni, your sex appeal is off the charts right now..."
"What're you on about. I'm going."
"Okay, Unni. See you later! Bring your lips when you come!"
Unni left the store cool as ever, leaving me alone.
And the first thing solo-me did wasn't cleaning or restocking shelves.
"Haaaang♥ I'm losing it...♡ Looking that good... is cheating...♡"
It was straight to masturbation.
Vigorously thrusting a Dildo into my pussy while roughly groping my tits.
"Unni...♡ Unniiii♥"
After three back-to-back orgasms like that, I finally calmed down and started opening prep.
"Haa, used Unni as side dish for three rounds."
If it weren't opening time, I could've gone four, five, even six in a row.
That new look from Yui Unni lit my body up instantly.
"Thank you!"
Representing Unni and the store, I handled customers even more diligently than usual.
Luckily, everyone so far had been within my knowledge—I could explain products and make recommendations.
I hoped it'd stay that way, but sadly, no dice.
"Could you recommend an Anal Plug?"
"Pardon...?"
Two years into my adult toy solo-play life.
A customer wanted recs for a category I'd never even dipped a toe into.
Obviously, with zero experience shoving so much as a finger in there, proper recommendations were impossible.
"Could you... browse a bit and wait?"
"Sure."
But I couldn't just send her away empty-handed.
Losing customers like that would hurt the store bad.
"Boss..."
With Yui Unni busy at the family event, calling her was my only option.
"Yeah, Chae-ah? What's up?"
"You free to talk? Store stuff..."
"Yeah, haven't arrived yet. What's going on?"
"Customer wants an Anal Plug rec, but I know nothing about that stuff. No clue what to suggest..."
I summarized the situation, and Unni laid out options.
"If it's their first time, go basic shape. Y'know, the basic one..."
"Like the ones in porn?"
"Yep. If they're experienced, recommend one with vibration."
"Got it, boss."
Armed with Unni's list, I went back and recommended to the customer.
Managed to avoid sending her away empty-handed.
"Lunchtime already."
Lunch hit, so I flipped the sign, pulled out yesterday's leftover tteokbokki from the fridge, and microwaved it.
"Anal play... wanna try it with Unni too."
I'd mulled it over but never brought it up.
Her reaction during cosplay had been intense, so I'd been extra hesitant.
At first, I'd imagined doing anal playonUnni, but working here and seeing all the customers buying anal play toys sparked my curiosity.
Since I'd already given Unni my first time down there, might as well give her the other hole's first too.
"How do I even say it?"
Even though I turn honest around Unni, anal play was too embarrassing to bring up easily.
"Asking for anal play straight-up sounds weird. Maybe... hmm..."
Chaining scenarios in my head, I pictured myself spreading my ass wide in front of Unni.
"Kyaaah! That's too embarrassing!"
The image of Unni seeing everything was mortifying yet thrilling—I let out a weird shriek.
"Come to think of it, when's Unni's birthday?"
You know the trope.
Presenting yourself naked with just a ribbon as the gift!
"Can't check on KakaoTalk."
Only a few days before, on the day, or after would reveal it, so the only way to find out Yui Unni's birthday was to ask directly.
I fired off a message to Unni right then since it was on my mind.
She'd probably arrived home by now—
-Bzzzzt!
"Reply!"
Such a simple reply, yet it made me grin.
"That's forever away. Gotta prepare properly then."
Her "I'll remember" made me squeal again.
"Kyaaah! Unni's gonna remember! Wonder what gift she'll get me?!"
With my birthday still a month out, I couldn't stop the fantasies.
That's when it came.
Another message from Unni.
"This is fine. All I need is Unni's face."
Time with Unni was gift enough—no need for anything fancy.
Still, the anticipation was beyond my control.
"Love you, Unni."
