episode_0014

Two days have passed since my relationship with Ms. Jia changed.

If I had to sum up my feelings for the past two days in a nutshell, I would say I was so excited I felt like I was flying.

Other men would have no choice but to have sex with Ms. Jia under mutual consent.

Even though we hadn’t decided to officially date or anything, my heart couldn’t stop racing because I felt like I was someone special.

Unfortunately, nothing happened yesterday because she was busy.

So I’m thinking of going next door today, but I don’t know if Jia will have time today.

… If it doesn’t work today, I can just wait a little longer.

When you feel good, you become relaxed and tolerant of everything.

As for what I was doing right now, I was walking down a busy street where I usually go.

I didn’t have any plans, but the clothes drying rack I was using broke, so I was thinking of buying a cheap one from ‘Dicer’.

… As expected, there aren’t many people at this hour.

This place is usually crowded on weekends or in the evenings, but it is relatively quiet at 4pm on a weekday.

As I was walking along the street, thinking that it would be comfortable not to bump shoulders with others, I stopped in my tracks when I saw a familiar silhouette.

It was the blonde woman who had been asking for help from the tree before.

…what are you doing?

She wasn’t as ordinary as the last time I saw her.

I was standing in front of a claw machine outside an unmanned doll grabber shop, with my hands clasped in prayer.

“Father God in heaven, please have pity on me… .”

He was so absorbed in prayer that he didn’t even notice me watching him from behind and continued praying.

“Give me this day my daily bread, pasta… .”

…pasta?

It was only then that I noticed the billboard next to the claw machine.

The story was about a doll grabber shop and a nearby pasta restaurant collaborating for an event, with the first prize being a meal voucher to the pasta restaurant.

So was this woman praying because she wanted to win that meal ticket?

“Okay! God will hear your prayer and help you.”

After saying that to himself, he put a five hundred won coin into the machine with a solemn expression.

After a few more clicks of the stick and buttons.

“Ahh! No!”

I screamed as I watched the tongs come up without being able to grab anything.

“This time to Buddha… .”

Then he closes his eyes again and mutters something to himself.

I had other business and it had nothing to do with this woman, but her behavior was so strange that I couldn’t help but watch.

“Pleasepleasepleaseplease! Aaaah!”

She put in another 500 won, but she clutched her head as she looked at the failed pliers again.

“It won’t work, this time… .”

Without giving up, he kept praying and muttering to himself, and in an instant, he ended up donating another 500 won to the store.

The money I spent on this was one thousand five hundred won.

Still, her will was not broken.

Rather, the expression on his face as he took out a new 500 won note seemed to be one of desperation.

“This is the last one… .”

A serious expression on his face, as if he was determined not to let the three opportunities he had had so far be in vain.

He gritted his teeth, carefully adjusted the position of his forceps hand, and pressed the button.

and.

“Okay!”

A look and voice full of joy.

But the joy didn’t last long.

Because the prize drawn was not a first-prize meal voucher, but a ballpoint pen with a character figure on the end.

In the end, even the last five hundred won couldn’t fulfill her wish.

… Are you done? I guess I should go now.

It was a time when I was just about to take a step without thinking much.

“Ugh… Ugh… Ugh… .”

The woman sat down on the ground and began to cry.

It was a sad tear, like that of a mother who heard the news that her son who went to war had died in battle.

“I should’ve just eaten cup ramen and triangle kimbap… Ugh… .”

I didn’t even exaggerate, I just froze in place.

A woman who looks like she’s a college student is crying so sadly because she lost two thousand won on a lottery?

It was a situation that I could not understand with my common sense.

“My cup ramen and triangle kimbap… .”

His voice was filled with sadness, as if he had lost his family rather than the cup ramen.

No matter how long I waited, she wouldn’t stop crying, so I approached her even though I knew it had nothing to do with me.

It was really uncomfortable to just pass by someone crying on the street and pretend not to see them.

“Excuse me.”

“… Yes? Oh, at that time… ?”

He looks at me with wide eyes, as if he remembers my face.

There was a tear duct drawn under the pretty double eyelids.

“Why are you crying?”

When I asked, pretending to be indifferent as if I had just discovered it, the other person answered while looking at the claw machine with sad eyes.

“I spent all my money on lottery tickets… .”

“Because of the pasta?”

“Yes… . But I couldn’t get it. I paid for dinner, but… .”

Even in the middle of speaking, she is holding back tears that are about to burst out.

From my perspective, I was watching the whole situation and it was so absurd and ridiculous that I couldn’t even laugh.

“Don’t be greedy, just go to the convenience store… .”

The little boy looks exactly like Mia, sobbing.

I passed her and stood in front of the claw machine, then took out a five hundred won coin that happened to be in my pocket.

“Would you like to try it?”

“Yes.”

I put the coin in, moved the tongs, and pressed the button.

And then a few seconds later I heard a thud, and a few more seconds later I had the first prize box in my hand.

“Wow!”

The woman who had been sitting down heard a thud and woke up belatedly, realizing it.

“How did you get it?! I didn’t even spend two thousand won!”

I’m not particularly confident in grabbing dolls.

The first prize box was just hanging over the hole where the doll was dropped, so all I had to do was lift the other side of the box to change its center of gravity.

The woman seemed to be so focused on the boxes far from the hole that she couldn’t see the box right in front of her.

“I wish… .”

“Here it is.”

When I handed her the box, the woman’s eyes grew twice as big.

“Huh? That one?”

“Yes.”

“No! That’s not what I meant when I said I’d like it… .”

“It’s okay since I paid 500 won for it anyway.”

“Ah… Thank you!”

I have no intention of showing off in front of girls just because I got a lottery ticket.

I just felt sorry for this woman because she was crying so sadly, and it seemed like she was about to win a prize easily.

To begin with, the person in front of me had been behaving so eccentrically that no matter how pretty he was, he couldn’t have any evil intentions.

And I also have Zia, although we are not lovers.

“Enjoy your meal. I’m going to go now.”

As I was about to move to my destination, Daiser, she grabbed my arm.

“Wait a minute, Oppa!”

He calls me oppa again.

“Why?”

“This is for up to 2 people… . Would you like to eat together?”

No, it’s a bit burdensome to eat with someone I don’t know.

“I’m fine. I’m not that hungry.”

“I feel bad eating something that was given to me for free all by myself. Yes?”

The gaze is as earnest as a Shih Tzu begging for food.

I nodded, regretting having helped him in vain, but unable to refuse.

—

“Your order of Aglio Olio and Truffle Cream Pasta has arrived.”

“Wow!”

When she saw the plate the waiter had placed on the table, her face lit up like she had met Santa.

It was hard to believe that she was a woman who sat down and cried in front of a claw machine.

“Can I really eat this?”

“You came all this way, what are you asking? Don’t worry and just eat.”

“Yes! I will eat it without any burden! I will eat well!”

The other person was really hungry, and he started to inhale the pasta without any pretense.

I, sitting across from him, also picked up my fork.

I wondered why I was here, but since I was already here, I slowly savored the food at the famous pasta restaurant.

Then, unable to contain my curiosity, I asked the other person.

“Excuse me. I’m just curious, but was dinner really only two thousand won?”

“Yes. I used up all my part-time job, so I have to make it until next month with what little money I have left.”

Where on earth did you spend your Albabee?

Looking at the clothes you’re wearing, which are the same as the last time I saw you, I don’t think you spent any money on clothes.

Even while thinking that, the other person was diligently turning the fork and eating.

“Is it that delicious?”

“Yes! It’s been years since I’ve had it, and it’s so delicious.”

That’s an exaggeration.

Anyway, I ate deliciously and got up from my seat.

As soon as I walked through the store door, she started bowing and straightening her waist as usual to greet me.

“Thank you! Thank you so much!”

If you shake your body so violently, won’t all the food you’ve eaten come back up?

I was worried for nothing, so I quickly stopped him.

“Okay, you can stop.”

“Thank you so much. I don’t know how to repay you… .”

“I spent 500 won, but you don’t have to pay me back or anything. ”

This time too, I waved my hand and declined.

I was afraid that he might think that I approached him with malicious intent.

It was for the same reason that he didn’t even ask my name even though we ate together.

“Then I’m so sorry… Ah! I’ll give you this!”

What she handed me was the character pen I had just picked up with my last 500 won.

“I just drew this from the raffle. Isn’t it super cute?”

You say it’s cute, but didn’t you cry like a baby when you first picked it up?

But since it wasn’t that hard to get a ballpoint pen and I wanted to go buy a dryer quickly, I grabbed it.

“Thank you, I will use it well. Then, take care.”

“Thank you so much! I will never forget you!”

We parted ways in front of the store, stopped by Daicer, and returned to the studio building.

What I did when I stood in front of the door was not to open the door lock, but to check the door next door.

… Not today either.

If I were allowed to go, I would stick a flyer in the crack of the front door of the studio apartment.

Since exchanging numbers was burdensome for Jia, we decided on our own signatures as a second option.

I didn’t go looking for it yesterday because there was no flyer in the crack of the door, and since there isn’t one today, I guess I’ll have to wait until next time.

Since I was thinking of skipping the gym today, I came into my room and leisurely played a game and watched a movie.

You might wonder if it’s okay for a web novel writer who publishes one story a day to be this lazy, but since I’ve accumulated quite a bit of content since my military service, this amount of rest was no problem.

dripping.

It was past nine at night when there was a knock on the door.

The person standing where the door opened was none other than Zia.

—

“Hmm, this is weird.”

I said that while I was fiddling with Jia’s laptop in her room.

I hurried over happily when he asked me with a troubled expression that his laptop seemed to be broken and asked if I could help him.

As I frowned and clicked the mouse diligently, Ms. Jia, who was watching from the chair next to me, asked me with concern.

“Is it really broken?”

“Yes, there seems to be a problem, but just a moment. I’ll look into it further. ”

The laptop’s symptoms were unusual.

Things like the Internet and folders opened normally, but some programs would not run no matter how many times I double-clicked them.

Since the programs that were not working were not consistent, such as Excel or a music player, there was no particular reason that came to mind.

“I don’t know what the problem is. I had the same symptoms before, but I couldn’t find the cause. I couldn’t find anything even when I searched the Internet.”

“Then what should I do? Do I have to buy a new one?”

“You don’t need to do that, I think you should format it. That’s how I solved it.”

“Ah… ”

Judging from the reactions, I don’t think there’s any need to explain what the format is.

“Do you have any important files that you don’t want to lose?”

“There’s no such thing as using a drive. But, Do-Hyeon, do you know how to format it?”

I think I did it by going into settings, but I don’t remember very well.

…where did it go from here?

After wandering around the settings window and making Gia wait, I decided to take a surefire approach.

“Just a minute. I’m confused too, so I’ll do some searching.”

“Yes.”

Thank goodness the internet is running without any problems.

I was about to click on the search box and then thoughtlessly type in ‘how to format’.

Search history that unfolds the moment you hit ‘Po’.

Seeing that, both Jia and I froze in an instant.

-Portio

-Feeling like Portio

-porzio sex

-Portio Development

-Portio Yadon MIDV-0091

I started looking for everything from Portio to everything else.

And on top of that, you even searched for the pornographic product number at the end?

The moment my thoughts reached that point, Jia’s hand suddenly flew in and covered the laptop.

“Ms. Jia…?”

When I looked back, she was covering her face with both hands.

It may have been to hide her embarrassment, but it was of no use since she didn’t cover the tips of her ears which had turned bright red.

Normally, I would have a brain freeze in an unexpected situation, but I couldn’t help but laugh out loud because Jia looked flustered and funny.

“I didn’t know that Ms. Jia would search for things like this.”

“Oh, no! I just happened to be curious so I looked it up… .”

I happened to do it once and searched it in great detail.

If you’ve even searched for porn, that should tell you everything.

But why did you specifically search for Portio?

Suddenly, I remembered how, when we were in the Goddess’ Space, Zia mentioned the word “porchio” several times.

“Did you happen to become interested in me while playing with me?”

“I don’t know! Ah, I really want to die! Why did you search for something like that! Aaaah!”

Not only did he dive into the bed, he couldn’t control his emotions and started kicking his feet.

Thanks to the rich reactions, a smile spread across my face.

“Don’t worry too much. We’re both adults, what’s the problem? ”

“Is that the problem? Do-hyun, come here and write a new memorandum. If you tell anyone what you just saw, I will kill you and I will die too!”

Words that would have felt creepy in the past sound funny today.

I left her face buried in the bed and opened my laptop again.

…what is this?

Suspicious links in the bookmarks folder.

Unable to contain my rising curiosity, I logged on and a paid AV payment site appeared.

“Aaah! What are you doing!”

Ms. Jia, who woke up late, noticed my actions and came over to me.

But I had already played the video on my shopping list.

The actress in the video is being developed by Portio while wearing a sexy swimsuit.

But after a few seconds, Ms. Jia snatched the mouse and closed the Internet window in one go.

“Is formatting all I have to do? I’ll search and figure it out! So stop fooling around and go back now!”

The sight of her pleading with tears in her eyes.

Rather than feeling sorry, I found it funny and still had a big smile on my face.

“Ms. Jia, is the rest of your time okay? If it’s okay, do you want to watch porn together?”

“What nonsense are you talking about!”

“Wouldn’t it be better to learn by watching porn?”

“… Feeling better?”

The cheerful Ji-ah asked in a slightly more subdued tone, and then I answered.

“Yes. It’s not weird for adults to watch porn, and we’ve done it a few times, so there’s no need to be embarrassed.”

“… .”

“Is there anything you wanted to try while watching porn? I’ll do it with you.”

Unlike before when she was jumping with shame, Jia was deeply troubled.

He stayed still for a while, avoiding my gaze with a red face, then suddenly went to the side of the bed and opened a drawer.

What she took out was surprisingly a condom, and Ji-ah covered her mouth with it in her hand and spoke shyly.

“Joe, just a little bit.”
