83. Hypnotic Acting Shin Ji-ye

+++

,Sigh… The wire keeps popping out.’

The wire sticking out from my worn-out bra keeps poking my skin.

It’s been a while since I bought new underwear. The problem is…

‘Why the hell is underwear so damn expensive…’

Once a promising idol trainee, now just Shin Ji-ye, a name no one recognizes.

A middle school graduate with no particular skills, working a convenience store part-time job.

For someone like me, the price of underwear is definitely not something to take lightly.

I grabbed my shopping basket, touching the sore spot where the wire had poked me.

‘What’s on sale today…’

The fuzz on the inside of my sweatpants’ thighs keeps rustling.

Could I… afford to buy sweatpants?

‘…No. Cheap ones have a weird fit.’

Even if I’m wearing a hoodie and sweatpants, I can’t give up on the fit.

I may be a bum, but I used to be an idol trainee, so I can’t go around looking sloppy.

Even in a bum look, if the fit and hanger are good, it can look like a casually stylish look.

Today is the day for meat sales at the butcher section.

As soon as I stood in front of the display, a tag that read -60% caught my eye.

‘…Even with a 60% discount, it’s still that price? Shit, they should be charging pig prices for pork, not gold prices.’

Even so, a 60% discount is a really hard opportunity to pass up.

I grumbled, but happily picked up a pack of pork.

‘…I can eat meat for the first time in a while.’

I felt much better.

Humming cheerfully, I headed to the vegetable section.

“…gulp.”

A bag of fresh flower lettuce.

Essential for pork, lettuce wraps.

‘Shit… the price of that one bag is the same as the meat I just bought…’

The real gold price was for vegetables, not pork.

Why the hell do they only sell it in such large quantities? Fucking annoying.

Who eats that much lettuce in one meal?

‘But it’s been a while since I’ve had pork… if I don’t have lettuce wraps…’

My mouth watered involuntarily.

Living in such harsh conditions, fresh vegetables like that feel more precious than meat.

‘…’

After standing there for a while, contemplating, I eventually turned around.

‘…Shit.’

The good mood I had was fucked up again.

The sight of me standing in front of a bag of lettuce for several minutes, contemplating, suddenly made me feel overwhelmed with sadness.

My eyes started to get hot.

I stopped walking.

‘Should I just buy it?’

Even if I’m pathetic, I’m not going to cry over a bag of lettuce, damn it.

‘…’

But I didn’t turn back.

Because the wire was painfully poking under my armpit.

‘I need to save money… to buy… underwear…’

Sniffling my stuffy nose, I moved my feet again.

‘Yeah, one bag of lettuce is worth several packs of ramen.’

Good thinking.

Ramen, not vegetables, goes with meat.

Trying to think positively, I moved my heavy feet towards the ramen display.

Looking back at the vegetable section that kept catching my eye.

But then.

‘…Wow.’

A sturdy figure caught my eye, heading towards the vegetable section with a full shopping basket.

‘Wow… that back, holy… it’s insane.’

An ideal back view that any woman would have to look at.

I wasn’t the only one who felt that way, as the eyes of the nearby housewives were focused on that man.

‘That ass is so plump. Hiss… I don’t think even that trainer *oppa* from my trainee days was that big.’

My plummeting tension was revived.

Oppa, turn around and show me your chest muscles just once!

Like the women around me, I stood there blankly, watching him.

Then, a familiar-faced woman clung to his side.

‘…Cow Unni?’

A famous woman in this neighborhood, Cow Girl.

With her insane breast size and gentle atmosphere, she’s an attractive presence that steals the attention of both men and women.

‘Wow, they look really good together.’

Yeah, a man like that should be with someone like that *unni*.

The pleasing sight made me smile.

‘…Wait. Wasn’t that *unni* married…?’

Whenever I ran into that *unni* in the evenings or on weekends, there was always an older man next to her.

The atmosphere was so sweet, so I naturally assumed he was her husband.

While staring at the beefcake *oppa*’s butt, trying to recall.

The man turned around.

But then.

‘…Huh?’

His face is quite familiar.

‘…Ki, Kim Jun-yeong?’

+++

Without realizing it, I hid between the displays.

‘Sh, shit, why is he here!?’

I’ve never seen him around here before, why suddenly?

‘…He’s wearing expensive clothes again.’

I remembered the last time I saw him.

Enjoying shopping at the Mercedes-Benz store and coming out leisurely.

And me, staring blankly at the inside of the store window.

‘…’

My stomach churned.

My mood became sticky with shitty inferiority.

‘I’m… shit…’

A middle school classmate who started on the same line as me.

No, I was way ahead. Back then, I was a promising idol trainee.

But now…

Crunch.

I clenched my teeth involuntarily, making a fierce sound.

After glaring at the innocent Kim Jun-yeong, I lowered my eyes.

‘Yeah, it’s not his fault. I’m… the idiot.’

It’s okay to live pathetically. Just don’t live shamefully.

I took a deep breath and looked at them again.

Cow *unni* was chatting with him affectionately, putting things in his shopping basket.

‘…What’s their relationship?’

Strangely, I couldn’t take my eyes off them.

Regardless of how shitty I felt.

Some kind of instinct, like a woman’s intuition, kept watching them.

‘They look really good together.’

They were much sweeter than when she was with the man who seemed to be her husband.

‘It’s a bit… um… aren’t they too close…?’

It’s normal for them to talk to each other affectionately and amicably.

Cow *unni* linked arms with Kim Jun-yeong, or Kim Jun-yeong hugged *unni* tightly from behind.

Even when their chests were completely pressed together, neither of them reacted to it.

‘They seem like lovers, but also like close siblings…’

Could they really be siblings?

‘I wish that were the case.’

I wish I could just be amazed at how small the world is and finish my shopping.

Kim Jun-yeong stopped talking to Cow *unni* and looked around.

Then he stood behind *unni*, blocking the view of others.

His broad back completely blocked her, but I could see their profiles from my direction.

Kim Jun-yeong didn’t seem to notice me hiding behind the display.

Kim Jun-yeong took his hand out of his pocket.

And then.

“…!”

He grabbed Cow *unni*’s chest! Squeezed it hard!

‘Cr, crazy!’

Cow *unni* was startled and looked around.

Then, with a flushed face, she shook her chest and hit Kim Jun-yeong’s chest.

Kim Jun-yeong seemed to find *unni*’s reaction cute, chuckling and looking down at her.

‘Wh, what did I just see?’

Cow *unni*… is married.

Is it okay to do that if it’s polygamy?

‘Ma, maybe I’m overreacting…’

There’s no way!

Polygamy is different from a married woman having an affair!

‘Th, that bastard…!’

It’s natural for that bastard to date multiple women, but.

An affair crossed the line. It crossed it by a long shot.

I remembered Min-ji’s face.

Even though she was scared of me, she protected Kim Jun-yeong from me with that thin, small body.

‘I thought it was pure love… did he change that much because he made money? That fucking bastard…!’

The inferiority I had towards him for a moment disappeared as if washed away.

What’s the point of having a lot of money? A human being should live like a human being!

That bastard, who was being lovey-dovey with Cow *unni* for a while, grabbed *unni*’s wrist and moved somewhere.

Without realizing it, I followed them.

That bastard and Cow *unni* went into a staff-only passage where there were few people.

I was about to rush in, but I stopped for a moment, surprised by my actions.

‘Wh, what am I doing right now?’

Is this… stalking? Stalking?

I hesitated for a moment, but soon moved my feet again.

I couldn’t stop.

‘…I have to tell Min-ji.’

It’s meddling.

I’ve never really talked to Min-ji much in my life.

Min-ji is actually afraid of my rough appearance.

‘But still… I can’t just let it go.’

It’s okay to live pathetically. Just don’t live shamefully. Don’t turn a blind eye.

I hope that small, kind child won’t be hurt anymore.

I went into the passage and hid behind the wall.

I could hear sounds from inside the passage that was bent and out of sight.

Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak…

“Ha, hooah…♡ Re, really…! What if someone sees us!”

“That’s why I came to a secluded place.”

“Heung, haht…♡”

The slimy sound like slime and their conversation were faintly heard.

*Unni*’s voice was strangely panting.

‘What are they doing…?’

I couldn’t figure out the situation with just this, so I carefully peeked out.

‘…!’

But I had no choice but to quickly pull my head back in.

‘Cr, cr, cr, crazy! Crazy! Fucking hell!’

My heart was pounding wildly, and my body was getting rapidly hotter.

‘Re, really crazy!? How in the world, ou, outside…!’

Cow *unni* with one of her huge breasts hanging out.

Kim Jun-yeong, putting his hand inside *unni*’s jeans, wildly stirring her crotch.

Such a sight was too shocking and stimulating for me.

Around the age of 17, in the trainee dormitory, the *unnis* would secretly watch porn, ignoring bedtime and squealing.

Breaking the rules of the training center, which was like the sky to me, was unimaginable.

But around the time I started having my period, when I heard the faint, lewd speaker sounds coming from beyond the blanket, my crotch would itch unbearably.

Rubbing my thighs together, I would peek over the shoulders of the *unnis* once every two months, at the small, flesh-colored screen.

That was the extent of porn in my life.

‘Crazy! Really crazy! Completely disgusting! Pervert! Pervert!’

The sound of my heart pounding like an earthquake echoed in my head.

Sweat filled my neck with the rapidly rising heat.

When I came to my senses, I had already peeked out again.

Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak…

“Chop, chomp… haa… What happens when our baby is born? This delicious *nuna*’s chest is mine…”

“Heueung…♡ Anyway, the baby can’t eat all of this alone… I’ll always leave the right one for our Jun-yeong, so don’t worry. Okay?”

“Really? Then take this one off too. I have to steal the baby’s.”

“D, don’t do that…!”

‘Ba, baby…? Baby!? Re, really a baby!?’

For a moment, I doubted my ears.

‘It’s a drama… really… completely a drama…!’

I was wrong. This is… no longer a level I can intervene in.

I should get out before I get caught… but strangely, my feet won’t move. My eyes won’t look away.

Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak…

“Chup… paa. Haa… How can you spill breast milk all over the floor like this? The cleaning staff will have a hard time.”

“Hoo, haht♡ Hooah…♡ Jun-yeong-ah… Fi, finger… too, deep…♡ Don’t touch the baby room…♡”

“Don’t worry. I’m not touching it with my finger. It has to be a dick…”

At Kim Jun-yeong’s words, my gaze went to his crotch.

The crotch, about to burst, showed off its presence as if it had a club inside.

“Gulp…”

I swallowed… involuntarily.

Was my saliva always this hot…?

“Haa… *Nuna*, I can’t take it anymore. Take out my dick.”

“Wh, what!?”

Along with Cow *unni*, I was startled.

“I’m going to cum on *nuna*’s thigh.”

“N, no, Jun-yeong-ah… don’t do that…”

But Cow *unni* couldn’t withstand Kim Jun-yeong’s finger offensive.

Eventually, she lowered his zipper.

Ziiip-

As if possessed, I took out my phone and pressed record.
