For now…

I took a deep breath and held back my anger.

If I lose my temper here, nothing will get resolved.

“What… exactly are you suspicious of?”

“No, it’s not like that. Just think about it—how is it that right when I met Seo-ah sunbaenim, I suddenly started getting these threats?”

“So you’re saying the timing makes it our doing?”

“Yes.”

The lunatic in front of me was shamelessly pushing his absurd logic.

Too stunned to react, I sighed and asked Geo,

“Then why did the email only come to us and not you?”

“If they’d sent it directly to us, our CEO would’ve gone straight to the press without even giving them a chance to negotiate.”

“…Even though you have more money?”

“You know our CEO, Manager-nim. He’s not the type to pay off blackmailers.”

That much was true.

I’d met Do Jin-wook myself and knew exactly what kind of man he was.

“So you’re saying he just brought the video and told the blackmailer to pay up… something like that?”

“…That wasn’t the intention—!”

“But it’s true, isn’t it? Director Sung said so. That without even giving them time to react, you immediately suggested paying them off and negotiating on the spot. But the CEO cut you off with a quick counter.”

Geo crossed his arms and laughed like it was ridiculous.

“He said isn’t doing well financially, so the motive is there… And the CEO thinks there’s a high chance this is your own doing, that you wouldn’t fall for something like this. That’s what he said.”

“You were the one who contacted Seo-ah first!”

I shot up from my seat, raising my voice.

A few people at nearby tables turned to look.

“Calm down. Don’t get worked up.”

Geo, completely unfazed, sipped his coffee.

Fuck…

I feel like I’m being dragged into their trap.

I sat back down and pressed him.

“You were the one who reached out to Seo-ah first. You were the one who asked to meet her.”

“I never did that. And since when have you been calling me ‘you’?”

“There was definitely a DM from you—!”

“A DM? From me?”

Geo tilted his head with an infuriatingly innocent look, as if he had no idea what I was talking about.

Come to think of it, there was no DM record on Seo-ah’s phone.

These bastards must’ve deleted it.

“Manager-nim, I think you’re mistaken… Seo-ah sunbaenim was the one who contacted me first.”

“……What?”

My body froze.

Of course.

Of course that’s a lie.

There’s no way Seo-ah reached out first…

“She was also the one who asked to meet and took me to the hotel.”

“…Bullshit.”

That’s just the narrative your CEO spun for PR.

“It’s true. Do you have any proof that I contacted her first? No, right?”

There was no proof.

The only thing I could trust was Seo-ah’s word.

Of course, I believe her.

I’m her manager.

“……Then, conversely, do you have proof that Seo-ah contacted you first?”

“Ah~ that? Yeah, I do.”

……He does?

My eyes wavered at Geo’s confident reply.

That can’t be.

Seo-ah clearly said this bastard sent the DM first…

Geo turned on his phone and showed me.

This is……!

“Please go to the ○○ Hotel.”

Fully masked and wearing sunglasses, I got into a taxi.

I only left a message for my unnies saying our parents took me out.

As for Manager Oppa… I was too scared to contact him.

Once this is resolved, I’ll reach out then.

Instead, I called the number from earlier again.

“……I’m in the car.”

“Good. Don’t try anything stupid while you’re on the move. Remember—one press of my send button, and this goes to 2,500 media outlets at once. Got it, Seo-ah?”

“……Yes.”

I listened to the distorted voice’s warning.

“…I’ll say it again. I don’t have money.”

“There are plenty of ways for a female idol to pay with something other than money.”

“……Just keep your promise.”

I hung up after that.

The taxi driver, who had been quietly driving, adjusted the rearview mirror and met my eyes.

“Miss… is this a voice phishing scam?”

“…….”

“If it’s voice phishing, I can report it for you. Okay?”

“……Thank you for your concern, but it’s fine. It’s not voice phishing.”

“You sure? It sounds sketchy…”

“It’s really not.”

Honestly, voice phishing might’ve been preferable.

After reassuring the suspicious driver a few more times, I headed to the hotel.

A place I never wanted to go back to.

The same hotel from yesterday.

*

“Haaahhhnn……♡♡!!”

Startled by the sudden moan, I quickly turned down the volume.

A few tables glanced at me again.

Even Kang, the employee, gave me a weird look before turning away.

“You’re not gonna listen? Or should I give you headphones?”

Geo casually chewed on an ice cube.

*Plop.*

He tossed a pair of headphones at me.

“You can wear those if you want. Or not. Up to you.”

Fuck…

I had no choice.

I put one earbud in and kept the volume low.

“Hnggghh……! Uhhhnn…!”

An unfamiliar moan filled my ear.

But the voice—I knew it.

On the screen, Seo-ah lay on the bed, legs spread wide, touching herself.

“……You said you had proof of contact.”

“Did I? Well, I guess this counts too.”

“Hahh……! Hnng……! F-Faster……!”

On screen, Seo-ah frantically rubbed her crotch, shaking her legs.

Her voice, laced with desperation, begged the men just off-camera.

“Faster…… more… put it in……! Huh…? Here. Like this…! Hhht…! Like this……!”

*Squelch. Squelch.*

Fingers thrust in and out as she arched her back.

With every movement, an obscene amount of cum gushed from between her legs.

“Seo… Seo-ah……! You fucking pervert…! More…! More……! Hhhnng…! Here… right here…! Cum inside…! Pump it deep…! Fill me up……!”

Seo-ah’s hips jerked uncontrollably, unable to stay still.

“Faster……! Fasterrr………!!”

A glimpse of her face.

That… wasn’t her.

It couldn’t be Seo-ah.

Eyes rolled back, tongue lolling, drooling—that wasn’t the Seo-ah I knew.

The short, one-minute clip ended with a close-up of her face.

“So? ’s Manager-nim. Solid proof, right?”

Geo chewed another ice cube.

My hand trembled around the phone.

“This… This isn’t proof of any—!”

“There’s more where that came from. Should I show you Part 2?”

He swiped, revealing another video.

I knew what it was before he even pressed play.

A large… woman’s ass.

And her own hands spreading it open.

Though her face wasn’t visible, I knew who it was.

“What? Not gonna watch? Here, play.”

“Hhhnng……! You wanna see Seo-ah’s ass…? Watch Seo-ah’s ass… push out… Oppas’ cum……! Hhhnk……!”

*Drip. Drip.*

Her hands pulled apart, and from between her gaping hole, cum oozed out.

An impossible amount for just one or two rounds.

The stretched, slack hole alone told me what had happened before this was filmed.

“Heehee… it’s… out……”

The video ended there.

“There’s a Part 3 too.”

Geo kept swiping, showing me more clips.

I couldn’t even stop him—just kept watching.

Seo-ah getting railed from behind like an animal.

Seo-ah bouncing on a man’s lap, tits swaying.

Seo-ah crawling on the floor, licking men’s feet.

And finally, Seo-ah pissing herself—then drinking it.

Every depraved act imaginable was captured in these videos.

Dozens of them.

“So? What do you think? I shared these with the members too. They loved it.”

“……You sick fuck.”

“No need for insults~. Unless you want these popping up on some shady sites.”

I couldn’t tear my eyes away.

Seo-ah would never do this.

That innocent, childlike Seo-ah.

Beyond just becoming a woman—she sounded like a bitch in heat…

“Deeper……! Deeper inside meeee……!”

“Cum in me againnn…! If you cum in Seo-ah again, Seo-ah will love youuu……!”

“Hiiieeegghhkk……! Hhhnnggghhkk……!!”

She wouldn’t…

“Manager-nim. Who do you think people will believe started this? Me or her?”

Geo leaned in.

Behind his sunglasses, his gaze bore into me.

“Go ahead, leak these. Threaten me all you want. I won’t just sit back.”

I yanked out the earbud. He took back his phone.

“You think people care about truth? Or do they care more about a female idol begging to get fucked?”

He tapped my frozen cheek with his phone.

“Cross me, and Seo-ah dies. Got it?”

With that, Geo left.

I sat there, paralyzed.

Kang cautiously approached.

“Uh… Team Leader? What… what do we do now? We got everything recorded.”

We did.

Geo’s threats—all recorded.

I had evidence.

I could fight this.

I could bury .

But to do that…

Seo-ah would—

Have those videos exposed to the world.

If this blew up and those clips spread…

I couldn’t even imagine the aftermath.

“……Team Leader?”

“Seo-ah…”

I clenched my eyes shut.

Am I really willing to sacrifice her to take them down?

Could Seo-ah handle that?

I couldn’t say for sure.

I had to ask her.

I pulled out my phone. Stopped the recording. Found Seo-ah’s number.

And only then—

Did I realize my pants were tight again from watching those videos.

After a long dial tone, Seo-ah finally picked up.
