Jin was exhausted.

“Phew.”

It was already morning.

She had been entangled with Haedayoung until almost 3 in the morning.

Satisfied enough, she smiled and went back home.

Even when told it was okay to sleep at home in the early morning, she just smiled.

“You can’t sleep well at the gym.”

She said as she left.

Wait, is having sex at the gym allowed?

I suppressed the urge to speak my mind.

I guess I’m no different.

My legs were trembling from excessive sex, but I thought I was okay.

Well…

I’ll figure it out somehow.

The system must have not calculated for this.

“Ouch.”

My back was sore.

“I can’t keep doing this every day.”

No matter how many times I satisfied her, Haedayoung kept coming back to me.

If she’s really my boss, I might get sucked dry while working together.

“I need a plan.”

SP.

Alright. Everything’s fine, but my stamina has its limits to earn SP just through sex.

Even if I combine fatigue recovery and stamina recovery with gym clothes.

What if more customers come in the future?

“No matter how restrained I am, I can’t have sex with all the customers.”

I was almost killed as a sex slave.

“I can’t even hit on my daughter now.”

It was more beneficial to take a nap than to masturbate due to the lack of stamina.

I got up from my seat, putting on my clothes.

Ding!

[Conditions met.]

[The gym’s level is rising due to high customer satisfaction.]

[Gym Level 3 -> 4]

[With the level up, additional promotional methods are available.]

[Multi-level marketing]

What? Multi-level marketing?

A new promotion.

Does this mean something other than texting is possible now?

[Promotion: Multi-level marketing – No usage points required]

[Activation condition – Members who have reached 100 satisfaction]

[Recommend this gym to the member’s closest person.]

[Success rate is 50% higher than text promotion.]

Does this mean?

I can register Ye-seul as a member?

Come to think of it.

Wasn’t today the day Mi-ju was coming to exercise?

***

Today, I wandered around the school alone.

Computer science major classes.

I may be in my second year, but honestly, I haven’t talked to many people at school and I don’t have close friends.

I’ve been involved in various activities on my own.

I tried to change this shy personality by going to the freshman orientation camp and joining the student council, but I came back with.

– I hope we can get along well.

– I think I’ve never heard your voice before.

– Hey, why don’t you speak?

People of all ages were curious about my voice.

I couldn’t even speak properly.

“It’s nostalgic.”

I used to be like that.

Even though I was always there, everyone asked me where I was.

Mi-ju was a unique case who found me first and greeted me.

I thought I would spend today alone again.

“Excuse me.”

Someone tapped me on the shoulder.

“Who?”

I turned my head and saw a strange female student looking at me.

“Excuse me… What major are you in?”

Huh?

Is this the famous hunting?

I heard that it’s rare for a woman to hunt a man.

Is spring finally coming for me too?

“Me?”

“Yes.”

“I’m in the Computer Science Department.”

“Oh…”

“What’s the matter?”

The girl looked flustered and twisted her body.

Is this a confession?

I thought so for a moment.

“I’m sorry!”

The girl who spoke to me bowed her head.

“Yes?”

“I thought you were from a different department because I’ve never seen you before. I’m sorry.”

What?

What is this situation?

I thought I wouldn’t experience this kind of thing after becoming close with Mi-ju.

I was too ambitious.

I was used to this kind of treatment from the beginning.

It was nothing new.

“It’s okay. I’m a returning student.”

“Oh, you’re a senior. I’m really sorry.”

A junior?

She seems to be from the student council if she asked me like that.

“I’m sorry, but can I ask what year you’re in? It’s my first time not knowing a student from another department…”

“Oh, I’m from the 17th class, Choi Jae-ho.”

“Choi… Jae-ho?”

The woman who met my eyes blinked and woke up.

Furrowing her brows, she tilted her head and scrutinized me.

“Are you really Choi Jaeho from the 17th class…?”

“Yes, can I show you my student ID?”

“Excuse me, but may I ask for a favor?”

This is quite uncomfortable.

She insists that it’s me, so why is she acting like this?

I clicked my tongue and pulled out my student ID from my wallet.

-Umbrella University, Computer Engineering, 17th class, Choi Jaeho.

My face was plastered on the student ID.

“Oh? It’s really you.”

Even after looking at the student ID, she still seemed doubtful and tilted her head.

“Excuse me, do you know me?”

“Yes?”

“Do I not look familiar to you?”

“I don’t know.”

There was someone from the 17th class like this?

“Huh, this is a bit awkward.”

“I mean… I hate to say this, but…”

If we’re going to be picky, I’m the one who’s more unjustly treated.

I did tell her my name.

But she didn’t even tell me her name and asked if it was her.

“Do you not remember someone who was in the 17th class, did club activities, and went on an MT trip together with you during freshman year?”

Club activities during freshman year?

Club activities… club activities…

“Oh.”

It finally came to me.

There was a classmate in the Computer Engineering department during freshman year who monopolized the love of juniors and seniors.

She knew she was pretty and used it as a weapon.

Was her name Sin Soeun?

Or was it Sin Sogeum?

“Sin Sogeum?”

That doesn’t seem right.

“No, it was a joke. Soeun, right?”

“I don’t feel like joking. By the way, the atmosphere has completely changed. It seems like you had no presence before.”

So even the person who did club activities doesn’t recognize her face.

“Well, the atmosphere on your side has changed a lot too.”

During freshman year, Sin Soeun always smiled and cleverly stuck around to gain favor from seniors.

“But now.”

She seemed a bit sharp and full of fatigue, similar to many seniors who disliked her in the past.

If she hadn’t taken a leave of absence, she would be in her fourth year now.

She must have been busy with assignments, exams, and job hunting.

“Did you exercise in the military?”

“I don’t think that’s any of your business?”

Was the first meeting uncomfortable?

My voice was sharp as I spoke.

I can speak so strongly to a woman.

Jaeho Choi, the human, has grown.

“Ah, I see.”

She nodded her head.

“Jaeho oppa!”

Mi Ju waved her hand outside the door, looking at me.

“Let’s go home together later!”

All the other students’ eyes were on me at her words.

The Computer Engineering department, known for being extremely male-dominated.

There weren’t many female freshmen this time.

And Mi Ju, who was even rumored to be the goddess of the department.

With Mi Ju’s suggestion to go home together, a mix of jealousy, curiosity, and admiration was directed at me.

Whether Mi Ju knew it or not, she just blurted it out and ran to her classroom.

“You’re quite capable. Already trying to charm the freshmen.”

Why did she have to provoke me like that?

She came to me and kept picking a fight.

Sin Soeun frowned at me.

I felt like I had seen this expression somewhere before.

“Oh, loosen your forehead. You’ll get wrinkles.”

And I looked at my book.

Ignoring Sin Soeun’s piercing gaze.

Today, I seemed to have made quite a few enemies.

***

“Huh? What did you just say?”

Mi Ju turned to Yesul and asked.

“You said before that Jaeho sunbae is also a trainer, right?”

“…Did I?”

Why is she asking me this?

“You said you didn’t want to exercise, right?”

“That’s true. But as I’ve been using Instagram, I feel like I should do a bit more…”

In Miru’s mind, a conversation she had with Yesul and Jaeho when they were together came to mind.

The image of Yesul becoming closer by taking good pictures of the phone case she liked.

The things they talked about while laughing.

The stories they casually shared at drinking gatherings.

And didn’t Yesul lean on Jaeho?

“Wait, why am I worrying about that? It’s not like I’m dating Jaeho oppa.”

It wasn’t her place to meddle.

There was no guarantee that the two would work out well, and even if they did, it wasn’t something she could congratulate.

“I’m not even his girlfriend.”

Miru nodded her head.

“Yeah, that’s right. Jaeho oppa is really good. I recently lost my belly fat quickly too. He’s an expert at losing weight.”

“Really?”

“Yeah!”

“Then can you introduce me to him?”

“I want to, but… I heard he does personal training, so I’m not sure if he’ll agree.”

“You can just ask him directly.”

“That’s true…”

“We’re going to the same house today anyway. I have something I want to tell Jaeho sunbae too.”

“You have something to tell him?”

“Yeah.”

Miru swallowed dry saliva.

Surely it’s not a confession, right?

“The MCN I signed with liked Jaeho sunbae’s photos. They want to give him a personal request.”

“Oh…”

Thank goodness.

Miru felt the tightness in her chest slowly dissipate.

“R-really?”

“Can you introduce him today?”

Miru hesitated for a moment before answering.

Honestly, she didn’t want to tell him.

She felt uneasy about something.

A subtle sense that Yesul shouldn’t find out.

Am I… jealous?

Miru shook her head vigorously.

Calm down!

Kang Miru, you’re not that kind of person.

They’re just friends.

Yesul and Jaeho oppa are just close friends.

So…

“Of course! I’ll ask Jaeho oppa about it today.”

Miru felt her chest tightening for some reason.
