“Should you be saying that so casually?”

“Of course. Ah, unless…you’re embarrassed to be associated with me like that?”

“That’s not what I meant… I was worried it might put you in an awkward position.”

“Well, I’m not particularly bothered, so it’s fine. Right?”

…Seoyeon sunbae. The way she keeps clearing her throat as she speaks—

Somehow, compared to usual, her voice sounds a bit… metallic, like there’s a slight rasp to it.

Maybe she’s caught a cold or something?

Then again, the flu’s been going around lately. I saw it on the news.

The fact that she’s bundled up in a thick long padded coat right now must mean she’s come down with something.

But now that I think about it…

If that were really the case, that pervert would’ve already taken care of her thoroughly, wouldn’t he?

Is there any other reason her voice might be hoarse?

…Ah, unless.

Karaoke… or something.

“Besides, the fact that you have multiple sex partners—I already told Da-bin about that, didn’t I?”

“…Yeah. That much is true.”

“But out of all of them, you only revealed me. Honestly, what’s the point in hiding it between people like us? …Right, Da-bin?”

“……Ah.”

The pointless, wandering thoughts that had bubbled up in my mind were cut short.

Still dazed and struggling to keep up with the conversation, I finally snapped back to reality.

Earlier, they’d definitely… agreed to help each other out, right?

But that’s not why.

It’s just that sunbae suddenly turned her head slightly and glanced in my direction.

Even before, I’d noticed—she’s so pretty that it’s hard to understand why she’d willingly label herself as that pervert’s sex partner.

That’s what forcibly brought me back to my senses.

“Y-yeah. Right. …And sunbae, you don’t have to speak formally to me.”

“…I’m just more used to speaking politely. I’ll try to ease into it slowly.”

Answering stiffly, I subtly straightened my posture.

Maybe because I pulled my feet in, the sound of my slippers dragging lightly against the floor echoed quietly.

“Anyway… it’s kind of funny. Judging by the atmosphere, you haven’t told her about me, have you? …I thought for sure you’d have bragged about it. ‘I fucked Baek Seo-yeon.’”

“If some pointless rumor spreads and causes trouble for you, it’s my loss in the end.”

“Hmm… So you were worried your onahole might get damaged? Is that how I should interpret it?”

O-onahole…

From a distance, Seoyeon sunbae had this sort of celebrity-like aura, but…

In private, she doesn’t hesitate to say things like that, huh?

…Come to think of it, remembering how I saw her last time—wearing nothing but a dress shirt—it’s not all that surprising.

Maybe because she hadn’t realized I could see her, there were tons of hickeys all over her chest, collarbone, and neck.

And didn’t I even see her personally call that pervert out to the student council room once?

Of course, given that I’m the one filming netorare videos of Seo Woo-jin for my boyfriend, my head’s already pounding from the absurdity of this whole situation.

But when it comes to purely sexual desire, she’s definitely on another level.

So while I sat there quietly flustered, Woo-jin suddenly spoke up.

“Hey, Baek Seo-yeon.”

“Yeah?”

Seo Woo-jin, who had been sitting quietly, let out a short sigh before asking.

“…What’s up with you today? You don’t usually talk like that.”

“…I’m exactly the same as always.”

“Phrases like ‘fucked’ or ‘onahole.’ You only say stuff like that during sex or when you’re worked up, not normally…”

“I-it’s not like I never say them. If the situation calls for it.”

“……”

“…It’s not like there’s a better word to replace them, right?”

Woo-jin stared at her silently, as if something was bothering him.

But eventually, he nodded as if he’d roughly understood and turned his gaze toward me.

“So, why’d you come?”

Right. Now that I think about it, I didn’t come here just to watch these two talk—I had business with Woo-jin.

It wasn’t anything that important, but the sooner I took care of it, the better.

And break time wasn’t infinite.

I wet my dry lips slightly before speaking.

“…You didn’t reply to my message.”

“Message… Ah, right. I saw the notification. But I didn’t get around to reading it.”

“That was two hours ago.”

“I’ve been stuck with her since this morning, so I couldn’t check. Sorry. Let me see now…”

“……”

Since this morning—meaning…

They must’ve slept together again.

He didn’t message me at all yesterday either, so that’s definitely what it means.

…And judging by this, they must’ve been sticking close even on the way to school.

Close enough that if anyone questioned it, they could brush it off as just walking together.

Since the cause and effect were practically undeniable, my gaze naturally flickered toward Seoyeon sunbae beside him.

“……”

“……”

Our eyes met briefly—

And sunbae was the first to avert her gaze.

She’s definitely the same expressionless sunbae I’ve seen on stage before, but…

How do I put it?

There was something almost… fragrant about her demeanor.

“Ah, you were asking when I’m free.”

“…Yeah.”

What was it again? While I was still thinking, Woo-jin swiped up on his phone screen.

Since it’s better to keep things short, I focused on that for now.

“I’m free anytime. It’d probably be better if I adjust to your schedule, right?”

“Hmm…”

Same here.

Since I never knew when Woo-jin would call me, I’d been turning down all plans with friends under the excuse of being short on allowance.

Anyway, that meant I could pick the date myself.

So if I had to choose…

When would be best?

“…How about today or tomorrow? I’d rather get it over with quickly.”

“Today or tomorrow. Hmm…”

I didn’t take long to decide.

In about two weeks, Baek Ji-ho would be back for Christmas. And right before that, finals were waiting.

Of course, since it’s the end-of-year exams for second-years, the importance is way lower compared to first year…

But it’s still better to manage my condition.

So, like taking a punishment early, it’s better to film the video quickly too.

“I don’t have anything special going on today. Hayun-noona didn’t say anything either.”

“Then, like last time, in the evening—”

And with that, it’s settled.

…Or so I thought.

“…Shouldn’t you ask me too?”

“…You?”

“Yeah, me. Am I invisible or something?”

Seoyeon sunbae, her fingers poking out from her fluffy sleeves, grabbed Woo-jin’s arm and shook it back and forth.

“……Just kidding. I just… felt like messing around…”

After a moment of hesitation, she brushed it off as a joke and asked me to forget about it.

“…Have a good time. Da-bin s… no, Da-bin-ah.”

“…Ah, yeah. Sunbae.”

For someone I knew as sunbae, she was… kind of cute?

Cute—haven’t I heard that word somewhere before?

…Why did sunbae suddenly seem so cute?

That thought crossed my mind briefly.

Either way, before break time ended—

I barely managed to make it back to class.

…And your birthday’s around then too.

Before Christmas comes, I’ll film about four and send them to you.

To keep this promise I made with Baek Ji-ho—once. Once. And once again.

There was a short gap in between, but either way, I’ve met with Seo Woo-jin three times so far.

The first time, there were a lot of things to worry about—like the sudden upgrade in camera equipment or acting in a way Baek Ji-ho would like—but with a bit of experience, the second and third times were much less stressful.

Written out plainly, it’s simple, isn’t it?

Have sex with Seo Woo-jin and pretend to enjoy it.

Act like I’m falling for the pleasure, like my heart is gradually leaning toward Woo-jin.

But also act hesitant, as if the memories I’ve built up over the years are holding me back.

Put on fake affection and beg him to make me feel even better.

…And wrap up the moans that slipped out unintentionally as if they were part of the act too.

As long as I could endure the sheer embarrassment,

I knew exactly what to do.

So the second and third videos were filmed just yesterday and the day before.

With three videos done, only one remained to fulfill my promise to Baek Ji-ho—

When a problem I’d been loosely keeping an eye on finally hit.

“…Ugh…”

…Menstrual cramps.

There’s just no way around this.

“I knew it’d be coming soon, but…”

December 16th.

With about a week left until Christmas, I slowly canceled the plans I’d made with Woo-jin today.

…Like pulling out a horn all at once, I wanted to finish all four quickly, but… what can I do?

The last one will just have to wait until I can make time before Christmas.

While suffering from the uncomfortable pain, part of me wasn’t entirely unhappy about this physical change.

At the very least, it meant the contraception during my encounters with Woo-jin had worked.

If my luck had been worse, this wouldn’t have happened.

“……”

…But while it wasn’t 100% unpleasant, about 80% of me was still irritated.

In that overly sensitive state, I watched as my friends chatted away.

“…So you’re just staying home? What about you guys?”

“Even if it’s Christmas… there’s not much to do.”

“Well, Da-bin’s been dating her boyfriend for ages. You’re practically married at this point.”

“Family shouldn’t be doing weird stuff like that anyway.”

“…Oh. Wait, incest…?”

“……”

Christmas.

More attention-grabbing than the upcoming finals, it had become the main topic among my friends.

“I’m going somewhere with my boyfriend.”

“My boyfriend and I are doing this.”

“I’m spending it with my family at home.”

“I’m having a home party with my high school friends.”

“I’m going skiing…”

“Watching movies…”

As they chattered away about all sorts of plans, my head throbbed.

But among them, there was one person who’d been quietly absent until suddenly forced into the spotlight.

“Hayun, what about you? Any plans?”

“Huh? M-me? Plans?”

Lee Hayun.

…The dumb idiot who, along with her little sister, had fallen for that pervert.

Much more girly than me.

Much cuter than me.

The fool carefully started speaking.

“…W-well, after break, on Christmas Eve…”

“Eve? What? Did you book a hotel with the health teacher or something?”

“N-no, no! Not a hotel, but…”

“Then what?”

“……”

“……”

“…An onsen. We’re going…”

…If a guy had said this, it would’ve been sexual harassment for sure.

But the jokes that followed were even more outrageous.
