My first experience ended both ecstatically and emptily.

She tried hard for me, but I felt apologetic, as if I hadn’t done anything in return.

Looking back now, Jiyeon had continued to self-pleasure, rubbing her clitoris even during the cowgirl position.

I suddenly felt a pang of anxiety, thinking I wouldn’t be able to satisfy Jiyeon like this. It was a matter of a man’s pride.

“Let’s exercise.”

I decided to start exercising, something I’d never done in my life, all for my girlfriend. I immediately ran to my older sister, Hong Doha, and asked her to help me exercise.

But that was a mistake.

“Our Doyun is finally going to exercise? …Why so sudden?”

“I… I want to be more manly!”

“I prefer cute Doyun, though…. Well, fine. Then starting today, let’s jog along the riverside path with Noona. Okay?”

“O-… Starting today?”

“If you’re not ready by 8 o’clock, I’m just going to drag you out, you know?”

And so, the fated hour arrived. I didn’t have any training clothes yet, so I put on my high school gym uniform and came out to the living room.

That’s when it happened. The door to Doha Noona’s room slammed open, and she burst out.

“Hey, let’s go! Where are you! …Oh, what. You’re already out.”

Doha Noona was wearing a sheer white windbreaker over a low-cut gray tank top, and leggings of the same color.

I thought it was a bit excessive for a jog, but how would an exercise novice like me understand the thoughts of an athlete? I just decided to follow her obediently.

“How much are we running today?”

“Depends on how you do.”

The riverside path was extremely crowded in the evening. People walking their dogs, middle-aged and elderly couples power walking diligently, and joggers and cyclists all combined to create a bustling atmosphere.

We started with a light walk along the path.

However, after walking for a bit, it seemed like people’s gazes were drawn to Noona. It turned out her windbreaker zipper had come undone, and her cleavage was fully exposed because of it.

“Noona. Pull up your zipper a bit. Doesn’t it bother you?”

“Huh? …Oh, right. Are you worried about me right now? These are athletic clothes. There’s no problem at all.”

Doha Noona even took off her windbreaker and tied it around her waist.

*Sigh*… There’s no point in talking. Still, if it were Jiyeon, she would have immediately pulled the zipper all the way up.

We walked for about ten more minutes and crossed the riverside bridge. Doha Noona said we would now run back the same way we came.

While running, panting heavily, all thoughts about her windbreaker zipper or her outfit instantly vanished.

I was so tired that I couldn’t think of anything. I just kept chasing after Noona’s back.

“Lean your upper body forward slightly. Pull your chin back! Control your breathing, slowly!”

“Gasp… huff. Wheeze…, gasp, huff.”

“Don’t hyperventilate like that!”

An eternity seemed to pass. Noona checked her watch and said only two minutes had gone by.

“That’s nowhere near enough. You ran a little faster than power walking, and it’s only two minutes. But it’s okay~. Just trust Noona. I’m Hong Doha.”

“Are we going home now? Is it over for today?”

“No. Now we’re doing bodyweight exercises. Today, as a test, we’ll just do push-ups and sit-ups. Alright, begin!”

I endured the hellish time once again, and finally completed all of Noona’s training courses. She said I would have muscle soreness all over my body tomorrow morning. But she slapped my back, saying that was a good thing.

When we got home, I was about to wash up first, but Noona casually took off her clothes and walked into the bathroom.

“Noona? I said I was washing up first.”

“What’s the big deal? Since I’m already undressed, I figured I’d check your body. But Doyun, it doesn’t seem like your body has changed much from before?”

That was true. Currently, my physical changes weren’t significant even compared to my middle school days.

In contrast, Doha Noona had healthy, bronzed skin. She was taller than me, her back and shoulders were wider, and her abs were clearly defined in an 11-line.

As I stood close, looking at Noona’s body, my gaze unintentionally fixated on her chest.

Doha Noona’s development didn’t seem this good in the past, but now, compared to Jiyeon, she wasn’t falling behind at all…. No, Noona was even more…

…Snap out of it, Hong Doyun! What in the world are you thinking?

“Why are you staring so intently? Aha…. You want to touch my chest, don’t you? Our Doyun…. Did you want to touch Noona’s chest like when you were little?”

“Ugh, no!”

“It was just a joke, you’re so prickly. Just stay still.”

Noona successively touched my shoulder, back, and chest, then muttered that I still had a long way to go.

“Doyun-ah. Have you removed your pubic hair?”

“Re-re-removed? No! Why would you ask something like that?”

Suddenly, Doha Noona pointed at my groin and asked. I instinctively covered myself and recoiled.

…Why is she suddenly asking about my pubic hair?

“It’s important. I tend to grow a lot of hair, so I have to wax every week. So, you probably don’t have much armpit hair, then?”

“Well, that’s true, but…”

“Hmm… Is he still developing? I’ve thought about it since way back.”

After a moment of contemplation, she told me to wash up comfortably and left the bathroom. She didn’t forget to wrap a towel around her neck.

―――――――――――――――

Days passed.

I decided to visit Jiyeon’s fitting photoshoot. The shopping mall CEO had specifically asked me to come, so I decided to go.

Upon arriving at the studio, a woman greeted me along with Jiyeon. Jiyeon said she was her CEO.

The shopping mall CEO’s name was Joo Chaebin, a woman in her late twenties. I thought it was amazing that she had become a shopping mall CEO at such a young age and was managing it herself.

CEO Joo Chaebin’s first impression was that of a somewhat intimidating unnie.

She had short black hair that fell to her shoulders. Her sharp eyes and beauty mark were captivating, but I was a little surprised when I saw the tattoo revealed beneath her sheer shirt. A crimson flower and snake tattoo extended from her shoulder to her upper chest.

“Boyfriend… right?”

“Yes. I’m Hong Doyun, here for the visit today.”

“Ah, I thought you were Jiyeon’s younger brother…. But you’re quite handsome, aren’t you?”

“…Pardon?”

“Looking closely, you’re incredibly good-looking. The photos Jiyeon showed me actually didn’t do you justice, did they? Why is such an incredible talent a guy, of all things… Ah, can I touch your body for a moment?”

As CEO Joo Chaebin reached out with both hands to grab my waist, Jiyeon quickly blocked her.

“CEO-nim. You know I’m here, right?”

“…Oh. Ji, Jiyeon-ah. I didn’t know when I only saw the photos, but now that I see you, I just thought you’d look so good in them…. Shall we have some coffee until the director arrives? Here, our boyfriend should have some too.”

Feeling Jiyeon’s sharp glare, she flinched and stammered her words.

……But what did she think would look good on me?

Anyway, I gathered that CEO Joo Chaebin had a personality quite different from her first impression.

While we were chatting, the shooting director arrived with the staff. Jiyeon immediately changed clothes and began the shoot.

I munched on the bread and milk the staff had prepared and listened to the CEO’s story.

It turned out, what she thought would look good on me was wearing women’s clothing. She had, at some point, even started speaking informally to me and earnestly pleaded.

“Doyun-ah. CEO-nim… no, Noona will ask you just once. Please be our model.”

“This is a women’s clothing specialist store. I’m a man, CEO-nim.”

“Double the pay per job. Triple if you keep it a secret from Jiyeon.”

“……Ugh. Still, I can’t.”

“I’ve already gauged all your sizes by eye. See you next time~. And feel free to call me Noona.”

Meanwhile, Jiyeon finished the photoshoot without any problems. We left the studio and walked together.

“You looked like a real professional today, you know? Your expression didn’t change at all.”

“Really? Was I that good?”

Jiyeon smiled awkwardly. She said it felt like a burden that they were renting a pretty good studio and a team of photographers for a small-scale shopping mall.

“No way~ It’s not excessive. From what I saw, you’re already a veteran.”

“Flattery, huh…. Now that I think about it, I really worked hard when I had that study cafe part-time job back then too. I saved money to go to the same university as you.”

“Study cafe… study cafe? Jiyeon-ah, you worked at a study cafe? When?”

At that moment, Jiyeon hastily clapped a hand over her mouth. Her face was clearly flustered.

Why is she doing that? Did she say something she shouldn’t have…?

“Uh… uh. Oh, I didn’t tell you, did I? When we were in high school, I went to the study cafe to study. It wasn’t like I paid to go there. I went because they said they’d pay me just for attending.”

“They paid you just for attending? What kind of…”

“Well, the CEO told me not to tell anyone around me that I was working there. Maybe it was awkward because I was a minor. But I studied well without any problems.”

“It’s good that there weren’t any problems, but… You should have told me. I could’ve helped you out in so many ways.”

“You know how I am, Doyun-ah. I don’t like things like that. I’m comfortable now, so don’t worry. Oh, speaking of which, Mom said to come over for dinner today.”

“Mom did? She didn’t contact me. Mom contacted her son’s girlfriend first instead of her son?”

“Ahahahaha! Let’s go quickly. Mom must be waiting.”

For a moment, a shadow seemed to fall over Jiyeon’s face, but she quickly returned to her bright self. It was a relief that she said she was fine, but it was a bit unexpected that she hadn’t said anything to me either.

We talked as we headed home.
