#110

“Alright, applause!”

As the man who had shouted something earlier called out, the other men followed suit and clapped.

Though it was a place where idols were entertaining, the atmosphere was… something else. It felt more like a second round of drinks among middle-aged men.

“Wow… , finally meeting you. I’ve been holding back for a whole week—do you know how hard that’s been?”

“Oh! Y-You were looking forward to meeting us? Thank you!”

Quick-witted Harin swiftly responded in a way that flattered the man’s ego.

“That guy over there, is he your manager?”

Another man in his underwear, sitting on the opposite couch, pointed at me with his finger.

“Yes. That’s correct.”

“You must’ve had a tough time getting here. Have a drink.”

Suddenly, he filled a glass and held it out to me.

It was an extremely strong liquor.

“Ah, geez. The manager’s gotta drive, so he can’t drink~.”

“Is that so? Aren’t we staying here till tomorrow morning anyway?”

“Even so, this manager’s gotta stay sharp and wait for us. He’s the one who agreed to help us out today, ain’t he?”

“Hmm… You’re right. Sorry about that.”

The man who had offered the drink withdrew it and downed it himself.

“Ugh~.”

“Shall I… refill your glass?”

By the man’s side, Sarang had appeared out of nowhere, holding a bottle of liquor like a hostess on standby.

When the man shook his empty glass, Sarang promptly refilled it.

“Whoa, already starting? Someone’s impatient.”

“Pour us some too!”

“Ah… Yes!”

The girls quickly scattered around the couches, filling the glasses of the men who held them out.

Harin, Eunche, Sarang, and Sea.

Before long, they were sitting right next to the men in their underwear, pouring drinks and eagerly introducing themselves.

“I’m ’s Harin. Tonight… please take care of me.”

*Gulp gulp…*

“Ah, Harin! So you’re the one PD Park wouldn’t stop praising?”

“Yes! Thank you for remembering me!”

Harin flashed a bright smile, much like when she greeted fans, and refilled the man’s glass.

And the moment he emptied it, she immediately skewered a piece of fruit with a toothpick and brought it to his lips.

“Wow… You’ve done this before?”

“Umm… I-It’s my first time at a drinking party.”

“Pretty sharp for a first-timer. You’ll do well tonight.”

“Ah…! Thank you!”

Then, he ate the fruit she fed him.

Our eyes met briefly.

Afraid she’d notice I was watching her, I quickly turned my head away.

Damn it…

Harin looked like some bar hostess.

Fucking hell.

It was disgusting… but I had no choice but to endure it.

“Aah~.”

“Ah… Yes. I-I’m Eunche. Nice to… meet you.”

“Ahaha… Please remember me, Sea.”

The other girls, too, chatted with the men, refilling glasses or handing out snacks.

Naturally, the men occasionally held out their glasses to the girls.

Of course, they couldn’t refuse.

*Gulp. Gulp.*

“Ughh….”

“Wow~. You can hold your liquor?”

“Th-Thank you….”

“This stuff’s crazy strong. You like drinking?”

“Ah… As an idol, I don’t… drink much. *Hic!*”

“Aww, don’t push yourself too hard. Want some water?”

“Water? Thank you…!”

Even Sea, the youngest, somehow managed to down the strong liquor.

Up until now, the most the girls had ever drunk was probably canned beer at the dorm…

Company policy strictly forbade them from even touching soju due to the risk of incidents.

But here, soju was nothing compared to what was being poured.

“Manager, manager?”

Hearing someone call me, I turned my head.

It was the composer from earlier.

“Yes. Were you calling for me?”

“Manager. Well… These guys enjoy their drinks, but from what I’ve seen, idols usually aren’t great with alcohol. If they drink too much, things could get messy. Maybe it’s time to move on to the next stage.”

“…Next stage?”

“Ah, you know. The usual. You must be familiar with it.”

If the next stage after drinking was… obvious.

They wanted to move on to sex.

But would these men, who were used to being entertained by idols, really be satisfied with just drinking and sex?

Maybe… but that alone wouldn’t be enough.

Perhaps we were already in an invisible competition.

The girl groups vying for a spot in the upcoming season of ‘Queen of Idols’—and the ones they’d push to win.

After tonight, these men would be entertained by other groups, deciding among themselves who to cast and who to crown.

Even a half-hearted effort would still net us a sponsorship of 100 million won… but we needed more than that.

To make sure left a lasting impression—to carve our name into their memories before they moved on to countless other groups.

Just like had done.

To do that… we had to act now.

I moved to where the girls had been standing earlier.

“…Everyone, sorry to interrupt the fun.”

“Huh?”

In an instant, the eyes of all ten people in the room turned to me.

The girls were already being held by the shoulders or touched in places.

I gestured for them to come to my side.

Immediately, they rushed over and lined up beside me like before.

Everyone seemed curious about what I was going to say.

“Since there isn’t enough time for each of our girls to greet you individually, I’d like to properly introduce them again here. I’m ’s manager, Jeon Hogu. …Tonight, please take good care of us.”

*Bow.*

I bent at the waist toward the men who were planning to fuck our girls tonight.

“Hey, manager! Do your best!”

“Let’s give him a round of applause, folks.”

*Clap clap clap…*

The sound of applause rang out again. I only straightened up once it died down.

“…First, let me introduce each member of .”

Before I could even finish, Harin stepped forward, reading the room perfectly.

Without exchanging a single word, she already knew what to do just from my gaze.

“Hello! I’m ’s leader, 23-year-old Jin Harin. Thank you all so much for gathering here tonight to show your love for !”

It was striking how much had changed.

This was a far cry from the flustered, stumbling introduction Harin had given when she first had sex with Park Dongcheol.

Now, even in front of men in their underwear, she spoke without hesitation.

The one who had changed her like this… was undoubtedly Park Dongcheol’s influence.

“Umm… Hold on, manager!”

“Ah, yes!”

Someone cut Harin off, raising their hand.

“Instead of the usual boring introductions… How about something a little more unique? That’s what we’re all waiting for.”

“Yeah! Ain’t that right? We meet so many girls, can’t even remember all their names~.”

“Still, was pretty famous before. Heard they caused a stir on YouTube for flashing panties on stage recently.”

“Damn, they straight up showed their panties? That true?”

In an instant, the men’s eyes locked onto Harin’s skirt.

Come to think of it, they were still in their stage outfits since they came straight from the performance.

Meaning, if they lifted their skirts now, the men would see the same underwear they’d exposed earlier.

“Here it is. Someone uploaded a fancam on YouTube. Looks like they had a wardrobe malfunction on today’s broadcast too.”

“Yep. Same outfit and all.”

“Ah….”

At this point, what needed to be done was obvious.

The underwear that fans had desperately tried to catch glimpses of—these men would get to see it right in front of them.

Harin had to know that too.

“Manager.”

Harin turned to look at me.

Her expression seemed to be asking for permission.

I gritted my teeth and nodded.

“…….”

But Harin didn’t move.

She just stood there… staring at me.

What?

Why isn’t she moving?

It’s not like she’s suddenly shy about showing her panties now.

What the hell…?

“…Manager?”

Harin grabbed the hem of her skirt, shaking it slightly while alternating her gaze between me and it.

Was she…?

“Hurry.”

I immediately understood what she wanted.

…She wanted *me* to do it?

Lift her skirt?

There was no time to hesitate.

I couldn’t afford to displease these men.

I stepped closer to Harin and carefully crouched down.

Then… gripping the short hem of her stage skirt with both hands—

I lifted Harin’s skirt.

“Oooh….”

A murmur of awe rose from the men.

To give them a better view, I raised the skirt a little higher.

With my own hands, I was showing my girlfriend’s underwear—

To other men.

“The same underwear from the stage… The one in the fancam. …We didn’t have time to change.”

“Wow~. This group even pays attention to their underwear? ‘Venus’ brand, huh?”

“Suits Harin. Pink’s her color.”

“Hey, is that a little wet? Hahaha!”

I silently endured their teasing as they ogled her underwear.

What was Harin thinking right now?

How did it feel to have her boyfriend show her panties to other men?

Without thinking, I looked up at her.

Harin… met my gaze with that same lewd look and whispered softly—

“Manager… Are you getting excited right now?”

I could only nod vigorously.
