Episode 50

I was floating in the water, blankly staring at the sunlight reflecting off the glass ceiling.

Needless to say, this is a swimming pool.

Unlike water parks with various rides, this place is nothing but water, but these days, this simplicity is actually welcome.

“It’s peaceful.”

Maybe it’s because there’s been so much going on lately, but I think I’m a bit tired.

After returning home, things calmed down and my girlfriends went back to their own homes, I came here to rest, feeling alone.

Well, I didn’t really come alone.

“Teacher~!”

I sat up when I heard the squeaky voice. Near the entrance to the pool, a young woman was waving at me.

Her name is Cheon Su-jin. She is a 20-year-old college student and an R-rated girlfriend who was obtained through a job-specific gacha with a role-playing function.

“Ah, strictly speaking, it wasn’t yet.”

One of the nice things about the role-playing feature was that it allowed me to establish a relationship with the target.

It would be okay to use the perception-altering function, but it was annoying to put that much effort into a simple game.

When you start a game and customize your character, there are times when you end up using the default design if it’s all the same no matter how much you customize it.

It’s something like that.

“There’s still time left until class, but you came early.”

“Hehe. I hurried because I missed you, teacher!”

Although she spoke cutely, Soojin’s appearance was, to put it nicely, ordinary.

I don’t necessarily want to say anything bad about it, but if I had to say something, I would say it has no special features.

Anyway, since picking a girlfriend with a rating of SR or higher is like trying to find a needle in a haystack, I just picked something from an R-rated one.

Since all my girlfriends boasted of their extraordinary beauty and cuteness, that level of ordinariness didn’t feel like individuality at all.

Anyway, Soojin and I currently have a relationship as a swimming instructor and a student.

For something like that, the initial favorability rating is incredibly high.

“Since we came early, should we warm up before we start in earnest?”

“Yes! Okay!”

“Hey, I told you not to come in right away.”

He stopped Soojin from quickly entering the water and made her slowly enter by wetting the area farthest from her heart.

Then, while pretending to take a pose under the pretext of reviewing the last class that I didn’t even do, and trying to naturally lead to skinship, the interrupters showed up.

“Oh my, Instructor Seonwoo!”

“Are you taking classes? I envy you!”

“Can you please take a look at our details for just one moment?”

What barged in was a large group of middle-aged women in their 30s and 40s. I had clearly kicked them out earlier, but they came back again, these middle-aged women.

“I’m sorry, but as I said earlier, I have a private lesson scheduled.”

I tried to politely decline with a smile, but the ladies didn’t seem to have any intention of turning away.

“Hey, don’t do that, please take a look!”

“I’m jealous of the private lessons. I also want to take ‘private lessons’ from Instructor Seonwoo!”

“Wow, look at those muscles!”

“Wow! This is so cool!”

Ladies, don’t speak with a meaningful tone and emphasize certain words. Don’t touch me secretly!

The killing intent was so high that the smoke almost collapsed. There’s a chance that you could really kill someone.

Most of you have families, I see. I checked the membership list before I came in.

I know what I’m saying, but don’t you feel sorry towards your husband and kids?

“I, teacher… … ”

“Huh? Oh. Then I have class, so I’ll excuse myself.”

I took Soojin, who was looking at me with anxious eyes, and moved to a remote place, avoiding the group of middle-aged women.

Even though I said it was far, I only moved from one end of the pool to the other, but I refused so blatantly, so I doubt he’d come back again.

I want to believe that.

“You’re being too sloppy.”

“Okay.”

It was fortunate that during the role-playing, the perception changed to that of having only one occupation.

If not, I wouldn’t have been able to just sit around and spend time here, and the ladies wouldn’t have just left.

Well, is that the same for this one too?

“Let’s start now. First, let’s start with the freestyle we taught in the last class.”

“Yes!”

The class content itself wasn’t anything special. Since the knowledge was already stored in my head, they just taught it to me and occasionally corrected my posture, that’s all.

The real fun part is the body touches that are done under the pretext of helping you maintain your posture.

Starting with her legs and arms, he even blatantly touched her butt and chest, but instead of refusing or being embarrassed, Soojin would stick out her chest to make it easier for him to touch her or put strength into her butt as if showing off.

Even so, it’s small everywhere. Even if I try not to compare, I naturally end up comparing it to my original girlfriends.

The reason I don’t want to compare is not for ethics, morals, or manners, but simply because I feel cold at the gap between the girlfriends that come to mind and the ones in front of me.

No, this won’t do. Today, I’ve decided to rest frugally and simply.

Let’s pull ourselves together and try to lust after the woman in front of us.

“Teacher? Can you please check my posture?”

As the touch decreased, Soojin puffed out her cheeks as if she was dissatisfied. It was a timing where she should have felt cute, but she wasn’t cute at all.

Rarely do I feel anxious. What should I do? Should I apply some kind of cognitive change to myself so that I can be liked by him?

I kept worrying and worrying throughout the class and tried to increase my desire, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get it with Soojin.

In the end, the class ended just like that and I just sent Sujin away.

I’m sorry for what I did.

“Haa. It won’t work today.”

I came out of the water with a sigh, took off my swimsuit, and shook my hair.

I didn’t feel like doing anything else, so I was thinking of just going home and resting quietly when someone approached me.

I thought they were older ladies again, but fortunately it wasn’t.

“Uh, master… Oh, no, sir, Se, Seonwoo oppa… ?”

“Huh?”

When I turned my head, there was an unexpected person standing there.

“Seoyoung?”

It was Seol-ha’s college friend, Oh Seo-young. What is this? Why is she here? Did another event pop up in the meantime?

“Ah, I used to learn how to swim. I still swim here sometimes these days to diet… … Did you swim, too?”

It seems that Seol-ha remembers me because of the aftereffects of breaking the perception change, but the fact that there is no mention of other occupations seems to be because they are role-playing.

Does this mean that once you’re done role-playing, you’ll get to know your original job again?

Hmm. Whatever.

“I should say I did it. I’m working part-time as a swimming instructor.”

“Instructor!? Are you a former athlete, oppa?”

“Not really. Anyway, class just finished, so I’m going to go out. You?”

Seoyoung quickly nodded, even though it was obvious to anyone that she had just come in, as there wasn’t a single drop of water on her body.

“I, I was just about to leave.”

“Really? Then do you want to go get something to eat?”

“Yes, yes! Okay!”

Come to think of it, I haven’t met Seoyoung separately since then.

Sometimes I would reply when I got a call, but that was it.

I thought it would be a waste to just throw it away after it was disposable, so we even exchanged contact information, but why didn’t I call you?

I thought about it carefully, but I couldn’t come up with an answer other than that I had forgotten.

“See you at the entrance.”

“Yes, net!”

I don’t know why, but I’m really nervous. I’m even biting my tongue.

Is it because of the fear of snow? If so, then it is completely understandable.

After washing up, I went to the locker room, changed my clothes, and went out. But for some reason, Seoyoung was already out there.

What a speed bump. Did you just pass through the shower and changing rooms?

“What do you want to eat?”

“I, I like anything!”

“Really?”

I checked the app in the locker room earlier and there were no notifications, so it seemed like my meeting with Seoyoung was really just a coincidence.

I was bored and had something to do with last time, so I thought it was a good opportunity and walked to my car.

“ta.”

“This, is this your car?! You didn’t have a car before, right?”

“I just picked it up.”

Looking at Seoyoung’s wide-eyed gaze at my car, I feel a sense of freshness.

It’s a similar feeling to the one I had when I first saw Soojin.

“Stop playing and get in. I’m hungry.”

“Oh, yes!”

I put Seoyoung in the car and went straight to the hotel.

As expected, Seoyoung blushed and glanced at me without saying anything, but unfortunately, today wasn’t like that.

When I arrived at the hotel, I left my car at the valet and instead of going to my room, I headed to the restaurant on the top floor.

Seoyoung was puzzled at first when he didn’t go to the room, but soon she opened her mouth as she arrived at the restaurant entrance.

“Wow, isn’t this place super expensive? T-T But can I go in dressed like this?”

“I can do it. You can come with me too.”

This is a place I often come to eat after work when I call my girlfriend. Sometimes I come here with her in the winter too.

I dragged Seoyoung, who was flustered and didn’t know what to do, into the restaurant and ordered the usual menu and non-alcoholic drinks from the waiter.

I would have liked to have a glass of wine, but I felt like I would have to take her straight to her room.

Even if that happens, it’s not like there’s anything wrong with it, but I’ve decided several times to spend today quietly.

I had already cooled down thanks to Soojin, but I didn’t want to resort to alcohol to get the hang of it.

After that, Seoyoung and I enjoyed the food and drinks that were served right away. Seoyoung, who had refused at first, was now eating like crazy.

“Does it suit your taste?”

“It’s so delicious!”

“That’s fortunate.”

I had a meal with a relaxed Seoyoung and had a pleasant conversation.

It wasn’t too bad, except for the subtle negative comments about Seol-ha.

“What do you want to do after eating?”

“… … How about taking a short break? Oh, you must be tired from class too! ”

“I’m not that tired.”

I knew what she meant by “let’s go for a rest,” but I didn’t feel like doing that even after eating, so I left the hotel, went shopping at the department store, and dropped her off home around sunset.

It was a leisurely day with nothing special going on, just as I had hoped.

Sometimes this is okay.

—

Oh Seo-young, who returned home, or rather, to reality, blankly stared at her one-room apartment with the lights off, then lowered her gaze and looked down at what she was holding in her hand.

What caught my eye was a luxurious paper bag with the name of a luxury brand I had only heard of before, but had never actually seen.

And inside it was a small bag that Lee Seon-woo had lightly chosen for her.

Oh Seo-young, who was recalling what had happened that day, collapsed on the spot.

I realized that I would never be able to have a normal relationship again.

Even if you force yourself to do it, the aftermath of today will remain in your heart for the rest of your life.

“Haha… … ”

Oh Seo-young, who returned to reality but still felt the enormous greed and desire bubbling up inside her, could not help but let out a dry smile.
