Chapter 166: Damn, Min Hayoon, Part 3

Although Hong Seo-hyun had declared she would win Hayoon over with the perfect date, things weren’t progressing as quickly as she had hoped.

“Alright, let’s start today’s stream! Today’s content is…”

Hong Seo-hyun was busy.

She streamed five days a week, and since graduating high school, she occasionally added an extra day, making it a 5.5-day streaming schedule.

Despite boasting about having the perfect date planned, she hadn’t actually thought of anything specific, so she was stalling.

“League of Legends ranked five-stack with the BGG Company members! We’ll keep playing until we get a five-win streak!”

She decided to fill the time with a League of Legends stream, a popular game that would satisfy her viewers.

“Yay… five-win streak, success…”

The BGG Company five-stack stream was a disaster.

Not in terms of viewership – the audience enjoyed it – but…

“Ugh… the sun’s up…”

“I came out to grab a cola, and the sun’s rising… crazy…”

As Baek-seol and Jo A-yeong pointed out, they had played until sunrise.

Ranked games in League were notoriously difficult, especially for a five-stack of relatively inexperienced players, with many smurf accounts lurking in lower ranks.

Hayoon, drawing on her past experience as a hardcore League player, had carried the team.

“I’m going to sleep… goodnight, everyone…”

“Yeah…”

“Bye…”

The BGG Company five-stack disbanded, defeated.

Days turned into weeks.

Hong Seo-hyun spent her days off recovering from exhaustion and her streaming days preparing and streaming, leaving no time to plan the perfect date for Hayoon.

This was a serious problem.

Three weeks had passed without any progress.

“This is… complicated.”

On her day off, during the third week after her declaration, Hong Seo-hyun lay in bed, contemplating.

“What should I do?”

She had no idea what would impress Hayoon enough to win her over.

Someone like Hayoon, who seemed to flirt with everyone, needed special attention. Hong Seo-hyun was clueless about how to capture her heart.

“First date with girlfriend…”

– The classic first date is a movie, a romantic comedy…

– A book cafe is nice too. It’s quiet and intimate…

Her online searches yielded generic, promotional blog posts.

The movie date suggestion featured a prominent cinema chain logo, and the book cafe post included a Naver Map link.

“
… I’m looking for actual tips, not ads…”

Frustrated, Hong Seo-hyun grumbled.

Generic search terms wouldn’t give her the answers she needed.

But with no dating experience, she didn’t know what specific keywords to use.

So…

“Nice things to do for your girlfriend for the first time…”

– If you’re planning a first event, a couple’s ring is a classic choice. Or a necklace, if a ring is too much pressure…

– Cooking shows you’re domestic. Instead of home-style cooking, try something fancy like pasta. It’s classy…

“I can’t cook!”

She kept searching.

“How to flirt with a girl you like…”

– Just leave her alone. Flirting with her is an insult. Look in the mirror.

“
… Clickbait…”

She typed random search queries, hoping for something useful.

“How to impress your girlfriend…”

The kind of questions one might ask an AI in 2025 or 2026 were being typed into a traditional search engine, with Hong Seo-hyun desperately seeking an answer.

And then, she typed a game-changing query:

“How to seduce your girlfriend.”

– I’ll tell you how to seduce your girlfriend. But this only works if you’re already at the stage where you can be physically intimate.

“We can be intimate. If we want to.”

– Have you considered learning massage? Go to a local massage school, pretend you’re studying to be a social worker or physical therapist, and take a basic massage course. Two months.

“Two months?”

Hong Seo-hyun carefully read the long post about learning massage.

She was desperate, and the writing was engaging.

– It takes two months for a beginner to learn how to properly relax muscles. Anything more is overkill. Learn the basics and then offer your girlfriend a massage.

“Like rubbing her shoulders?”

– If you’re just going to rub her shoulders, do it for your parents. It’s called filial piety.

“That’s true…”

– Apply oil and massage these areas: under her breasts, inner thighs, hips, back, and groin. Get the picture?

“What are you talking about…”

– If you still don’t understand, you’re probably… well, you know.

“I’m not… that. I’m a woman.”

– Basically, massage the areas that will turn her on. You’ll figure it out after two months of massage school. We’re not trying to become professional masseuses, just trying to turn our girlfriends on. Two months is enough for that. After a few drinks, when she’s tipsy, massage her chest, waist, hips, inner thighs. She’ll love it. This only works if she’s comfortable being naked in front of you with oil on her body. If you don’t have someone like that, well, tough luck.

The long post ended there.

Hong Seo-hyun had enjoyed the surprisingly engaging writing style and the back-and-forth tone.

“A woman who lets you massage her naked body with oil…”

Would Hayoon agree to that?

It seemed unlikely.

She couldn’t imagine Hayoon being comfortable being naked, even without underwear.

But…

“A swimsuit?”

Would a swimsuit be acceptable?

She had seen Hayoon in a swimsuit before, even a bikini.

A bikini was practically naked.

It would fulfill the conditions mentioned in the post, allowing her to massage Hayoon’s inner thighs and hips.

But where would they wear swimsuits? She couldn’t massage Hayoon at a beach or a water park.

“A hotel!”

Hong Seo-hyun suddenly realized the perfect setting.

A hotel stay. Just like last year, but just the two of them.

That way, she could give Hayoon an oil massage at the end of the day…

“A cocktail bar!”

If the hotel had a cocktail bar, she could get Hayoon drunk, making her more receptive to… further activities.

Of course, that depended on Hong Seo-hyun’s own alcohol tolerance.

“I should look up non-alcoholic cocktails.”

Since Hayoon wasn’t familiar with cocktails, Hong Seo-hyun could order non-alcoholic or low-alcohol drinks for herself.

She had learned a lot about cocktails while planning to get Choi Arin drunk last year, so it shouldn’t be difficult.

“We’ll go to the cocktail bar, have some snacks, get her tipsy, then suggest a night swim. She’ll put on a bikini, and then I’ll offer to put sunscreen on her, which will be oil, and then I’ll suggest some pre-swim stretches, which will be the massage, and then, heeheehee…”

Hong Seo-hyun giggled, picturing the scenario.

She still hadn’t figured out the daytime activities, but…

“I need to sign up for massage classes.”

She had found her first task.
