Two days later, I was out in the busy area near the school.

I went to the A/S center because the volume control button on my phone suddenly stopped working.

Originally, my daily routine was just going back and forth between my studio and the gym, but I don’t know why I’ve been going out so much lately.

Anyway, I was on my way back after getting it repaired safely.

As I was passing by the convenience store, someone familiar now popped out.

Bright golden hair, exotic looks and body.

It was the woman I ate pasta with last time.

“Ah! He’s good at picking!”

As soon as our eyes met, he stood in front of me with excitement.

Although I was taken aback by the lively reaction, it was an ordinary appearance compared to our previous encounters.

At first I was climbing a tree, then I was playing claw machine and crying.

“Are you planning to do the draw today too?”

Her expectant eyes look just like those of my younger sister in elementary school.

No, if you look at the level of brightness, it might be closer to a kindergarten student.

“No. I just have something to do.”

“Aha. Are you done?”

“Yes, it’s over.”

“Really? Then do you want to go eat pasta? To the place we went last time. I’ll pay!”

“Pasta?”

“Thank you for helping me twice!”

It’s getting close to dinnertime and I’m starting to get hungry.

But would a person who cried after blowing 2,000 won on dinner be able to buy pasta?

“No. I didn’t help you with the intention of receiving anything in return. And you did receive a pen, right?”

“Still! Yes? Can you come with me? I’m so grateful, I really want to repay you. Yes? ”

He’s not even an elementary school student, and he’s still going to hang on until I say I understand.

I had no choice but to head to the pasta restaurant with her.

—

“Wow!”

Same reaction as last time pasta came out.

Just when I was thinking that maybe she just brought it because she wanted to eat it, she said to me before picking up her fork.

“Enjoy your meal!”

“Yes. I’ll eat well. But is it really okay if I buy it for you? You said you didn’t have any money until the next part-time job came in.”

“Of course it’s okay! It turns out I got my payday wrong. That’s why I got it a week earlier than I thought.”

“That’s great.”

“Right? So this time, I calculated it properly and left just enough money for my brother to thank him and for living expenses.”

… does that mean that you used up everything else?

It’s only been a week since I got my Albabie?

I was curious about what it was used for, but I thought it was just a waste of time, so I quietly brought the pasta to my mouth.

“By the way, what’s your name?”

“I’m Nam Do-hyun.”

“Aha, so you live around here?”

If you’re going to keep calling me oppa, why did you ask my name?

“Yes. I live nearby.”

“Gulkuna. Oh, I’m Ha-eun. Park Ha-eun.”

The other party was asking me a lot of questions, so I felt it was a waste to just answer, so I asked a question of my own.

“Ha-eun, does she live around here too?”

“That’s right. I live in the Areum Women’s University dormitory.”

Areum Women’s University is a women’s college located not far from our school.

“But you know, why are you so good at picking? I prayed to God and Buddha earnestly but it didn’t work. Is there a secret?”

Now that I think about it, you said you go to church, go to a temple, and even believe in Islam.

I had forgotten about it because I was never particularly encouraged to be religious.

“There is no secret… .”

The meal continued with idle chatter, starting with a talk about claw machines.

The conversation never ended because the other person was so curious and had so much to talk about, and he kept babbling.

When Ha-eun finished her meal and left the restaurant, she looked very satisfied.

“I ate well. It was so delicious that I don’t think I’d get tired of it even if I ate it every day. Right?”

“It tastes good.”

“It was more delicious because I ate it while talking with my brother. Do you want to eat it again next time?”

It’s not like I was suspicious, but I just matched the rhythm to the person’s uniqueness, and I guess I liked that.

It seemed like it was hard to refuse, so I nodded for now.

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Really? Of course! Got it?”

Is this person really a college student?

The appearance seems right, but the way he jumps up and down excitedly looks like a little kid or a puppy.

After exchanging greetings with Ha-eun, I returned to my studio apartment.

I was typing on my keyboard for a bit when I got up from my chair, thinking I should go to the gym.

I suddenly felt dizzy and lost consciousness. When I woke up, my surroundings had turned into a pure white space.

“Dohyun, how have you been?”

“Yes, that’s true… but what about Zia?”

“I’m sorry, but today we have someone else instead of Jia.”

“Not Ms. Jia? Why?”

At my question, the goddess hesitated for a moment and then opened her mouth.

“Actually, thanks to Dohyun and Jia accepting my request with open hearts, my guilt is gradually decreasing. Not only Dohyun, but also my trust in Jia is sprouting.”

“… .”

“But the less I feel the pangs of conscience, the more the power will demand of you two. To make up for the lack of compensation.”

“So other people… .”

“Yes. The level of action required by the authority has increased, so I decided to invite someone else to prevent damage to both of you. ”

I think I know what you’re talking about.

But I still feel uncomfortable about having to do it with another woman besides Ms. Jia.

As if my feelings were revealed in my expression, the goddess’s voice that followed was also subdued.

“I’m so sorry.”

“No, well… I can’t help it. Then does that mean Ms. Jia won’t be called here anymore?”

If so, it is good news for Ms. Jia, who does not welcome this place.

I don’t have any regrets since we can meet in private.

“I’m sorry to say this, but I don’t know. I’m the one who chooses people, but it’s possible that the power will instruct some of them to do something.”

“I see. But is it possible that another man besides me might be called?”

“No. I know you may not like it, but I am not even considering any other man besides you.”

No, that’s better.

Because I don’t even want to imagine anyone else coming here with Ms. Jia.

“I’m sorry, but I have one more question. How long do I have to do this? It’s going to be difficult if I keep doing it with other women.”

“It won’t be for a lifetime, because the goddess of fate promised that if I save many innocent people, she will make this power completely mine. However, I don’t know when that will be… .”

I wish it would end quickly.

I asked all the questions I had and decided that it would be better to get beaten up quickly, so I wanted to get rid of it quickly and get out of here.

“Okay. I don’t know who it is, but please call them.”

“Yes, I will do that.”

As the goddess beckoned, a bright light appeared next to me.

When the light cleared a moment later, I couldn’t help but open my eyes wide.

“Ha-eun?”

“Ppo, Pick-up Oppa? Here is… .”

She looks around with eyes as wide as mine.

As expected, Ms. Jia had the same surprised look on her face as when she first came here.

“Hello, Park Ha-eun. I apologize for suddenly inviting you. I am the goddess of peace and stability, and I have come to ask for your help.”

“Goddess?”

The expression on his face as he asks that question is full of confusion.

“Yes. Tomorrow, innocent people will be involved in an accident and die unjustly. I need your help to save them.”

The goddess continued speaking with an apologetic heart in every word.

I didn’t notice it when I first saw her, but after I got used to it, I could really feel how much care she put into asking for something.

“I know it may seem sudden. I understand that you are afraid. Nevertheless, I ask you shamelessly to save those who have been wronged. Please help me-.”

“Yes! I’ll help you!”

“… Yes?”

The surprised goddess asked back.

Of course, I was also bewildered as I watched.

But it seemed that neither of us had misheard Ha-eun.

“I’ll help you with anything, Goddess! Just say the word! ”

“Are you sure?”

This is the first time I’ve seen a goddess so flustered.

Ha-eun’s reaction was that unexpected.

She clasped her hands together politely and poured out her words with a joyful face like an enthusiastic fan who had seen her favorite celebrity.

“I never thought I would actually meet God! I don’t think he’s God or Buddha… Anyway, he called me to grant my wish, right?! Right?!”

“Wish… .”

Suddenly, the goddess’s shoulders felt as if they had slumped.

As if I knew exactly what that wish was.

The voice I heard next had an inexplicable sense of regret.

“I am just a being who prays for peace and stability, I cannot grant Ha-eun’s wish.”

“Huh? How could that be… If the goddess can’t hear, who can… .”

This time, Ha-eun’s mood changed.

He had a look of despair on his face, like someone who had lost all his fortune in a momentary mistake.

The goddess, seeing this, seemed to be upset and offered words of comfort.

“There is a saying that people who are loved by God often say. Heaven helps those who help themselves. If Ha-eun keeps her wish deep in her heart and works hard, everything in the world will surely help her. Maybe it will come true in a different way than expected, but in a better way.”

Ha-eun’s expression brightened again at the sincere consolation.

“So you’re saying that if I pray hard and live a good life, it will come true?!”

“Yes.”

“Yes! I will live a good life from now on! You said you would save people who die unjustly, right? What should I do?”

Bright, sparkling eyes filled with anticipation.

I feel bad for asking someone who is so purely happy to be in a relationship with a man who isn’t even her lover.

The goddess, who must have felt more remorse than I did, hesitated for a moment before opening her lips.

“My request is… that the two of you have a relationship here.”

“What’s your relationship? You want me to do that with you?”

“… Yes. I know how absurd this request is. I’m sure you won’t understand it. But since it’s the only way to save these poor people, I beg you earnestly. ”

“But that’s something you do with someone you love… .”

“I apologize for asking too much.”

“Can you really save people by doing that?”

“I swear on my goddess’s throne that there was not a single lie in what I said.”

“… .”

A silence fell over the surroundings.

Of course, even Ha-eun would have a hard time accepting a sudden request to have sex.

After keeping my mouth shut for a moment in the uncomfortable atmosphere, Ha-eun finally made up her mind and answered.

“Okay, I’ll do it!”

—

My bed, lying alone in a pure white space.

As usual, the goddess was away, and Ha-eun and I were sitting on the bed.

The goddess’ request was simple.

With penetrative sex, we will both climax once.

But the fact that she had to mix bodies with someone she had only met a few times remained unchanged, so Ha-eun’s face was filled with excitement.

“Ha-eun, are you okay?”

“Yes. Okay, it’s okay. It’s scary because it’s my first time, but… .”

I wonder why he accepted the goddess’ request while trembling like that.

To be exact, it was surprising that people like Nana Jia accepted it without even checking to see what kind of crisis they were in.

“Is this a wish so earnest that you would accept something like this?”

“Yes. But it’s not just because of the wish. It’s because I feel bad for those who die unjustly… .”

“The goddess could have lied. I don’t know how you can believe it so easily.”

The answer to my question was unexpected.

“The reason I believed the goddess’s words was because of you, oppa.”

“Me?”

“When the goddess spoke, you believed everything without question. If a good person like you believed, I thought I could believe it too.”

I just stayed quiet because I knew all the details, but it seems like it looked different to her.

“Ah, this won’t do. If I tremble, it will be hard for you too, oppa. Don’t worry and make yourself comfortable. Heh.”

His heart must be pounding like crazy, but he tries to smile for me out of consideration.

It was at that moment that I thought I should stop dragging it out and make her feel at ease.

“Ah! Do I have to take everything off to do that? Just a moment.”

There was no time to say that there was no need to do that.

She started taking off the clothes she was wearing one by one, and in an instant, she took off her panties and underwear, revealing her hidden naked body.

Skin as white and smooth as a sheet of paper.

Heavy breasts hanging in a pretty shape and pink nipples.

A slim waist that accentuates the pelvis and other parts of the body that form a graceful S-line.

I found myself unconsciously fixating on the adult-like body that did not match the childish expression and behavior.

“I’m so embarrassed… .”

“I’m sorry. I’ll finish it quickly.”

This is not the time to be admiring your body.

The most important thing was to get out of here quickly so that Ha-eun could feel safe.

However, since this is my first relationship with a woman other than Ji-ah, I feel nervous without realizing it.

Thanks to that, my hands started to shake like an aspen tree, and I slowly approached Ha-eun while listening to her heartbeat loudly.
