‘Feels right… or does it…?’

    Park Yuna muttered to herself, staring intently at the picture of the man’s genitals on the monitor.

    ‘That wallpaper and door… isn’t that the same building as me?’

    It seemed unlikely, but the background in the picture was all too familiar.

    Only a part of it was visible, so she couldn’t be sure, but no matter how she looked at it, she couldn’t shake the feeling that it was the same building she lived in.

    ‘I think the landlady said that this building was decorated according to her taste, so the wallpaper and door designs aren’t common…’

    The shadow on her brow deepened with her thoughts.

    ‘If it’s really the same building, there’s only the apartment above me, right?’

    Park Yuna lived in a five-story villa with two or three households per floor.

    And as far as she knew, the only man living in this building was in apartment 201, the one above her.

    She knew this because of a phone call she had received from the landlady a few months ago.

    [Yes, landlady. What’s the matter?]

    [Yuna, I’m sorry to bother you… but a male student is moving into the apartment above. Is that okay?]

    [A man? I don’t really mind. Why do you ask?]

    [Right now, only women live in the villa. I was wondering if you’d be bothered by a man moving in next door. Especially since you live alone, Yuna.]

    [Ah, I’m fine with it.]

    [That’s a relief. He won’t cause any trouble, so you don’t have to worry.]

    [Okay. Thank you for your concern.]

    She hadn’t heard any other talk about men from the landlady since then, so the man in the apartment above was still the only man in this building.

    Park Yuna looked at the picture again with a serious face.

    ‘If it’s the apartment above, that’s the guy who brought me the wrongly delivered package before I started broadcasting. So the person in this picture is…?’

    When she talked on the phone a few months ago, the landlady said he was a male student, and the face she actually saw looked like a college student like herself.

    And the content written in the post she was looking at…

    [I’m jealous that this college student is already living the high life, and I’m even more jealous because that guy’s thing is huge. He doesn’t have a girlfriend yet, but he has money, so he’ll probably get one soon. I took this picture when I went to his house and was amazed by what I saw.]

    ‘Is this real?’

    It was too coincidental to be a coincidence.

    It was true that there was no concrete evidence, but that coincidence was fueling the thought that it might be true.

    Of course, her hope that this post might be real was in vain.

    It was just a post made up by someone who happened to acquire a friend’s phone, with the purpose of attracting attention on the internet.

    But Park Yuna had no way of knowing this.

    ‘If it’s real, that’s amazing.’

    She had always hoped to encounter a man with jaw-dropping wealth.

    She was confident in seducing any man, so she just wanted him to appear before her eyes.

    But what if the post she was looking at now was true?

    It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

    ‘Let’s take a closer look.’

    She tried to zoom in on the picture by clicking it, but nothing came up.

    What she saw next was a notification that the post had been deleted for violating the bulletin board rules.

    ‘What the, it’s deleted. That’s it. It’s impossible after all.’

    Even though she thought so, she still had lingering feelings, thinking it might be true.

    Perhaps because she had glimpsed hope for a moment, Park Yuna didn’t want to let go of even the smallest possibility.

    ‘…Should I go and check with that guy? I have nothing to lose anyway.’

    Once she made a decision, all that was left was to act.

    Thinking of resolving the issue before starting the stream, Park Yuna immediately took action.

    ‘Alright.’

    A little later, she went up to the apartment above with a plastic bag filled with tangerines in her hand.

    When she rang the doorbell, the door opened, and the man who had brought her the package a few hours ago appeared.

    “Who is it—, oh.”

    “Hello!”

    “Are you the person living in 101?”

    “Oh my, you remembered me?!”

    “Well, yeah. I saw you earlier because of the package.”

    “Ah! Hahaha. That, that’s right, isn’t it?”

    “…What’s the matter?”

    “I bought some tangerines, but it’s too much for me to eat alone. I also wanted to share some because I appreciate you bringing me the package. Here you go!”

    “Ah… yes. Thank you. I’ll enjoy them.”

    This unbelievably pretty woman was showing kindness, but his reaction was lukewarm.

    Still, Park Yuna didn’t care and flashed a business smile.

    “Do you live alone?”

    “Yes, that’s right.”

    “That’s amazing, I live alone too! Since we met like this, why don’t we eat tangerines together and chat? Can I come in for a bit?”

    There’s no way there would be a foolish man in this world who would turn down the chance to talk to a charming woman like herself.

    Contrary to her expectations, the other person’s face was full of trouble.

    “I’m sorry. I’m not in a situation where I can let anyone inside right now.”

    “Is it because of cleaning? I don’t mind! Or I can help you!”

    “No, it’s okay. Thank you for the tangerines.”

    “O… o-okay. Enjoy them.”

    “Yes. Goodbye.”

    Clunk.

    Beep beep.

    It was the first time the sound of the door lock closing felt so cold and heartless.

    ‘What’s going on? Is that guy gay?’

    The shock of failure came back as strong as her confidence had been.

    Even after returning to her room, Park Yuna couldn’t shake off her bewilderment.

    ‘Does he have a girlfriend? The post I saw earlier said he didn’t?’

    She still couldn’t accept the fact that her flirting had been blocked.

    Even though this was her first attempt at seducing a man, she had thought that someone like her would definitely succeed.

    Even so, it was possible that the man was the rich prince she had been searching for.

    She couldn’t give up here.

    ‘First, let’s do the broadcast, and then come up with a new plan and go visit him.’

    ===

    “Who is it?”

    As I returned to the room, Yiseo asked, naked in bed.

    “It’s the neighbor. She said she had too many tangerines, so she shared them. I mistakenly received her package and brought it to her house, so it was a sign of gratitude.”

    “She gave you tangerines? She must be a very outgoing person.”

    “That’s what I’m saying.”

    She was beyond outgoing.

    She even asked someone she just met to come over to her house, peel tangerines, and chat.

    Of course, it was also burdensome, and since I already had Yiseo, I had no choice but to refuse.

    But it’s so frustrating to be interrupted in the middle of things.

    I immediately went back to bed and hugged her.

    “You still have plenty of time, right?”

    “I have to go by then because I have to prepare for the broadcast.”

    “Then how long will you be able to stay?”

    “…Two hours.”

    Ah. So that means you want me to bang you for two hours.

    Interpreting her words as I pleased, I slammed my body against hers until no more time was allowed.

    ===

    Ding-dong. Ding-dong.

    Thirty minutes after Yiseo, who I had been playing hard with, left.

    I was editing a game review video to upload to YouTube when the doorbell rang.

    ‘Is it Yiseo?’

    Did she leave something at my house?

    Without thinking much, I left the room and opened the front door.

    “Who is it—, oh?”

    “Hehehe. Hello.”

    The person from the apartment below who had visited earlier was standing outside again.

    With her exotic and pretty appearance, and even her breasts that kept attracting my attention.

    I never thought I would see this sight three times in a row in one day.

    “What brings you here this time…?”

    “Did I surprise you by coming again… Heh.”

    She smiled shyly, winking her eyes.

    It was a smile that was pretty enough to keep me from easily taking my eyes off of her, but that wasn’t the important thing.

    ‘Why is she being so friendly since earlier? She wasn’t like this when she returned the package.’

    “Actually, I came because there’s something I want to ask you….”

    “A favor?”

    “My shower is broken so I can’t wash. I’m sorry, but can I take a shower here?”

    “You want to take a shower?”

    No wonder she was holding a basket in her hand, it must be full of clothes and toiletries to change into.

    But something was strange.

    There was no reason to go all the way up to the upper floor when she could just ask the neighbor next door.

    “You can ask the neighbor next door…?”

    “Ne, next door? That’s… Ah! I just went, but they weren’t there!”

    “Ah….”

    It’s troublesome because I need to hurry up and edit the video because I spent too long with Yiseo.

    In the first place, even if I had plenty of time, I would be uncomfortable letting a strange woman into my house and even letting her take a shower.

    “Still, the shower is a bit….”

    “When you brought me the package earlier, you seemed like a nice person, so I’m asking you…!”

    “I see. But still—.”

    “Please! I can’t sleep if I don’t wash because I sweat a lot. Please?”

    Whether not being able to sleep was an exaggeration or not, there were even slight tears under her green eyes.

    Her appearance was so beautiful that the moment of talking to her felt unreal.

    But no matter how pretty the other person was, I was going to refuse because the situation was not favorable.

    “Please! Please…!”

    Seeing her earnest expression and the thicker tears than before, I couldn’t bring myself to say no any more.

    I also thought that if I refused and bad rumors spread, Yiseo’s landlady might be in trouble.

    “…You have to leave after taking a shower.”

    “Really? Thank you! You’re an angel!”

    The woman who had been crying a moment ago suddenly brightened up.

    Feeling uncomfortable, I let her in, and she seemed to remember something belatedly and opened her mouth.

    “Oh, and after I wash, I have a habit of drying my body with natural wind without wiping it. I heard that it’s good for skin care to keep the towel from touching the skin as much as possible.”

    “Huh?”

    “I’m really, really sorry, but can you stay in your room until I say it’s okay? The bathroom is humid, so I have to come out to the living room to dry my body… Hehe.”

    Was she the type to ask for two things if you gave her one?

    I suddenly regretted letting her in.

    Still, it didn’t matter much since I had to be in the room anyway because of the video editing.

    She wouldn’t steal anything since we knew where each other lived.

    “Okay. Then I’ll be in the room, so call me when you’re done.”

    ===

    “Eungheung.”

    Park Yuna, who had finished showering in Han Jihoon’s bathroom, came out to the living room.

    Water droplets were dripping from her bare skin, which was exposed without anything on.

    ‘Hehe… good. It went according to plan.’

    A satisfied smile spread across her face.

    A brilliant idea to borrow the bathroom, and flawless acting that completely fooled the other person.

    Even though she had safely entered her destination, she didn’t let her guard down and actually took a shower.

    On top of that, she even got the additional benefit of washing away the sweat she had shed while broadcasting.

    She couldn’t help but feel proud of herself.

    ‘What should I do, I think I’m a genius!’

    Park Yuna, who had a strong sense of self-love, waved her arms and got excited, and her huge dumpling-like breasts danced along.

    ‘That guy definitely saw my breasts earlier, right? It’s always the same with guys. By the way, I guess he still doesn’t know that I’m a former celebrity?’

    Her eyes looked at the door that Han Jihoon had entered.

    Thanks to the ingenious lie that she needed to dry her body with natural wind, that man wouldn’t come out of the room until she said it was okay.

    Until then was the time limit to check if the post she saw on the internet was true.

    ‘Originally, I was going to try to feel him out while talking, but since the other person isn’t easy to deal with, I have no choice. I’ll just take a quick look around and leave.’

    She stopped in her tracks as she tried to move her feet.

    ‘…Wait a minute. If I walk around in this state, leaving water marks, won’t I be suspected?’

    After grabbing a towel from the bathroom and wiping off the water, she came out to the living room again.

    Now was the time to find evidence that that man was one of the richest people in Korea.

    That evidence might be in the room he was in, or it might not have existed in the first place, but she had to do her best with what she could do now.

    ‘First, the small room!’

    With a nervous face, she began to search the room diligently.

    The closet, drawers, and pockets of the clothes hanging up, all the places she could reach.

    She knew that what she was doing now was a crime.

    Her heart was pounding like crazy from the bad deed she had never done before.

    Nevertheless, she moved busily with a desperate heart because she had her own desperate reasons.

    ‘There’s nothing particularly noticeable…’

    She had no choice but to go out to the living room and start searching again.

    ‘It’s not here either. I guess that post was a lie…’

    While searching diligently in the kitchen, thinking that maybe, she found something unusual in the drawer under the sink.

    ‘…What’s with the gift box?’

    It was suspicious to have a box wrapped in a pretty ribbon under the sink, not anywhere else.

    In fact, it was Schrödinger’s gift box that Han Jihoon was keeping to give to Yiseo, but Park Yuna had no way of knowing this.

    “….”

    She glanced at the room where the homeowner was.

    Then, she quickly untied the ribbon and opened the lid.

    ‘W-what is this…?’

    Surprisingly, the box contained bank books.

    Not just one, but so many that the bottom of the box could not be seen.

    Park Yuna couldn’t help but scream silently as she opened one of them.

    ‘How many zeros are there? One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, hundred million… T-ten hundred million?!’

    She almost lost her mind for a moment, feeling like she had been hit in the back of the head.

    Ten hundred million in one bank book, could it be that the internet post was real?

    —Excuse me!

    “Hick! Y-yes?!”

    —Aren’t you done yet?

    “Just a minute! I just need to put on my clothes!”

    She had to put the box back in its original state before she was suspected, but her hands were trembling so much that it wasn’t easy to tie the ribbon.

    In the end, she gave up tying the ribbon and closed the drawer.

    ‘Quickly! I need to get dressed quickly!’

    “Hoo…. I’m, I’m all dressed. You can come out now!”

    At Park Yuna’s words, the tightly closed door opened and Han Jihoon came out to the living room.

    “Now that you’ve taken a shower, it’s okay, right?”

    “Yes! Thanks to you, I think I’ll be able to sleep comfortably! Thank you, then. Goodbye!”

    She tried her best to act like nothing was wrong and left Han Jihoon’s house.

    Her legs were shaking as she went down the stairs, and she almost fell several times, but she managed to keep her balance and barely made it back home.

    “Heok… Heok…! It was… it was real!”

    She still couldn’t believe the numbers she had seen a little while ago.

    It was just one of the many bank books in the box, but it contained a whopping 1 billion won.

    If anything she picked up was 1 billion, then the other bank books must have contained even more, and besides that pile of bank books, she was sure that his wealth in stocks and coins was enormous.

    ‘This is an opportunity! I have to seize it! If I can just seduce that man…!’

    “If I can just seduce him….”

    Her shoulders suddenly slumped, which had been so excited.

    ‘…Is this really right?’

    She acts cheerful, but she is also a twenty-one-year-old adult.

    There was no way she wouldn’t know that what she was trying to do was wrong.

    There was no need to talk about sneaking into someone else’s house, and she also knew that approaching someone because of their wealth would cause them great pain.

    She was so excited that the opportunity she had only imagined had come that she had committed an act that should not have been done.

    It was natural for Park Yuna to fall into agony at the reason that had returned belatedly.

    ‘If I only have that man, I can live like before again. But this kind of thing is…’

    Even if she was lost in thought, she couldn’t easily get out of the conflict.

    But she had a personal reason why it was difficult for her to give up this opportunity.

    ‘Y-yeah. Even though I’m approaching him because of money, if that man marries me, I can make him the happiest person in the world, right?’

    She solidified her will while thinking of her own way of atonement.

    Such Park Yuna had no idea that Han Jihoon was the owner of an app that she couldn’t even imagine.
