Chapter 30: Chapter 29 : Debut Preparation (2)
"Really? You'll lend it to me? So, you'll lend me 20,000 coins?"
[Why did it suddenly go from 4,000 coins to 20,000 coins?! Don't try to scam me!]
Actually, I said it to tease Pony, I didn't really intend to sell the status window.
If I don't have the status window, I can't raise my abilities myself, and I'll have to rely on Pony again to collect coins.
So, the status window is something I can never sell.
I managed to get 4,000 coins by scaring her, so it wasn't a bad attempt.
[The interest rate is 40%.]
She must be crazy. I thought it was strange that she agreed to lend it so easily, but she was planning to make money off the interest.
"What nonsense is this? I'll go bankrupt trying to pay back the interest. I'll give you 1%."
[1%? You have no conscience. I'll do 35%, then.]
"10%."
[Final offer. 30%.]
"...20%! That's my final offer too."
[No way. 20% is ridiculous. 30%!]
"I won't borrow it! I'll just sell the status window."
[Fine! 25%!]
"20%."
[You bastard!]
"Haha."
Even if Pony curses at me, it doesn't matter.
I'm satisfied with finding a way to steadily get coins.
"Give me the money. I need to buy it quickly."
[Wait a minute! I have to get it from the bank! And why are you being so rude when you're the one borrowing money? Damn it!!]
Pony, who was huffing and puffing, disappeared saying she would get the money.
After a while, she reappeared and said something ridiculous to me.
[You see...]
"Yeah?"
[It's gone... Hehe~]
"What's gone? Wait, it's gone? You mean you don't have the money?"
[Yeah...]
"You said you'd lend it to me. I thought you had it."
[I definitely had it! But this time, I had to pay a fine, so after that, there was no money left.]
"You're not making this up because you don't want to lend it to me, are you?"
[No, it's true! I really don't have it.]
"What is the value of 4,000 coins in your currency?"
[It's worth about 40 million won.]
"Hmm."
40 million won...
Come to think of it, that amount of money could be a burden for Pony.
"Can't I exchange the 20 million won I have for coins?"
[Impossible. Who would be stupid enough to pay coins for a piece of paper? Maybe someone might exchange it for 1 coin?]
"Isn't the exchange rate too harsh?"
[That's how worthless your currency is here.]
"Ha... So now there's no way?"
[There's nothing we can do. I'll have to give up for a few months.]
"Are you really okay with that? Won't you get in trouble?"
[I'll take care of that, so you don't have to worry.]
Pony, who had committed a sin and was disliked by her superiors, needed a 'merit' to make up for it.
[I'll try my best to get coins. In the future, to debut safely and meet women, you'll need at least a doppelganger doll, if not an android.]
"Why are you being so cooperative all of a sudden?"
[I've always been like this.]
"Don't you think that's too shameless?"
[Hmph. I'm trying to help you, so why are you talking so much? Don't you like it?]
"Of course not."
It's unusual for her to be so cooperative, but if she's offering to help, there's no reason to refuse.
•••••°°°°••••••°°°°••••••
'Huuuuuuh, not today again?'
Joo-ah squirmed in her seat.
Even though people around her were looking at her strangely, she couldn't help it.
"Excuse me, are you okay?"
Sitting in a café, shaking her body, and then suddenly slamming her face on the table made people think she was sick.
"I'm fine."
"You don't look fine.... Should I call 119?"
"I'm really fine..."
I'm just in heat.
Joo-ah had been feeling strange for the past few days.
At first, she didn't think anything of it for about three days.
But when it lasted a week, then two weeks, her life became a mess.
'I can't complain to anyone.'
Joo-ah took out her phone.
'Am I being too clingy?'
She sent him a text every day.
But since the debut preparations started and he moved into the dorm, it became almost impossible to meet Hae-Sol.
Hae-Sol was like a drug to Joo-ah.
After not seeing him for two weeks, she started to experience withdrawal symptoms.
[Me: Are you busy today too?]
She knew she would get a reply saying they couldn't meet, but she couldn't let go of her hope and sent this shameless message.
She felt embarrassed and pathetic, but Joo-ah, who was addicted to Hae-Sol's body, couldn't find a way out.
[Hae-Sol: I think I can make some time tomorrow.]
"Huh!!!"
Finally!!!!
Finally, a positive response from Hae-Sol!
Although it's not today, she can see him tomorrow.
She couldn't hide her excitement at the news that her long-awaited love was coming.
"Ugh!"
"Ah! You startled me."
People who had been watching her strange behavior were shocked when she suddenly stood up and cheered after writhing on the table.
Joo-ah, who didn't care what others thought, hurriedly left the café.
"What should I do? Ah! I need to buy clothes first."
She needed to buy new clothes to look prettier.
She had a lot of clothes in her closet, but none of them seemed right to wear.
"Idiot! I need to do my hair too!"
Today was going to be a busy day.
To meet a man, she had to squeeze out every last bit of strength.
She spent the day busy, running around the city, getting herself ready.
And the next day.
[Hae-Sol: Let's meet at 11!]
After starting dorm life, he finally got a day off after two weeks.
She didn't want to disappoint Hae-Sol, who had decided to spend that day with her.
"The date plan is perfect."
She had even found a good restaurant.
They would go for a walk, see the cherry blossoms, and then have a meal at a nice place.
After that, they would go for a walk and see the artificial lake.
'Can we ride the duck boat?'
She had heard there were duck boats for couples, but she wasn't sure if Hae-Sol would like it, so she decided to see his reaction first.
And then....
Gulp-
'A motel, of course.'
She was already excited just thinking about it.
And finally, the one she had been waiting for appeared.
He was wearing a hat and a mask, so his face wasn't visible, but his proportions were so outstanding that he stood out.
'His body looks even better.'
Tall height, broad shoulders, and a small face.
An aura that no one could imitate.
'Look at those girls drooling.'
As soon as he entered the café, all eyes were on him.
She saw some girls quietly following him into the café.
She walked over to the empty seat where Hae-Sol was sitting.
She had to hurry because other girls might approach him.
"Excuse me!"
"Hae-Sol~!"
"Joo-ah."
Hae-Sol, who had been expressionless, took off his mask and smiled at her.
She heard sighs of disappointment from around her.
Joo-ah felt an incredible thrill and pride.
She heard people cursing behind her, but she didn't care and laughed.
Hae-Sol also didn't seem to care about the other girls.
"Wow~ What's the occasion? Why do you look so pretty today?"
'As expected, Hae-Sol notices!'
She had spent so much money to look good today!
But at this moment, she didn't regret spending a single penny.
Especially since he was so captivated by her beauty that he didn't even look at other girls.
'This is why I spend money on my looks!!'
Hehehe-
She couldn't hide her excited laughter and sat down next to him.
There was a seat across from him, but right now, sitting next to him was more important.
"But why are you wearing a hat and a mask?"
"The news about the debut members being finalized spread, so reporters are going around trying to take pictures of the members' faces. The manager told me to be careful, so I wore them."
"Oh no! Then is it okay for us to meet like this? No one followed you, right?"
"I didn't come from the dorm; I went home yesterday and slept there, so no one followed me. But just in case, I wore them, so you really don't have to worry."
"I'm still worried. If it's like this already, how much more will you suffer later?"
"I know, right?"
"Is the debut preparation very hard? Your face looks so tired. What should we do? We need to eat something good to cheer up our Hae-Sol."
Joo-ah, feeling sorry for the skinny Hae-Sol, kept stroking his cheek.
She heard the sound of teeth grinding from around her, but at this moment, that sound was like the music of the heavens.
She felt refreshed and proud.
"Ah~ I've been on a diet, and I've been going crazy because I couldn't see you."
"Hehe! Really? You missed me that much?"
Joo-ah couldn't believe Hae-Sol's words and linked arms with him, pressing her body closer to his.
Her soft breasts touched his arm.
She could feel his arm muscles tensing.
It was thrilling.
'This man is mine, bitches! Don't even look at him, he's mine!!!!!'
"Hehe, I feel good. You missed me."
"I feel good seeing you too, sis. But what are we doing today?"
"I found a great restaurant. I'll take you there and treat you to something delicious."
At first, she didn't know anything and left the date planning to Hae-Sol, but after telling her friends, she got called crazy a lot.
They said he was too nice.
Supposedly, the woman should lead the date.
Even in the café, Hae-Sol was the only man, and in this world, men were too rare.
So, women had to work hard to be chosen by men.
She couldn't live alone forever, could she?
'The only answer is to get pregnant, right?'
At first, Joo-ah thought she would just have a short fling with him.
Since he was going to debut as an idol, she thought she shouldn't hold him back.
'Not anymore. I can't give up.'
But Joo-ah body was already addicted.
To Hae-Sol's body.
Joo-ah had lived for two weeks without him.
And those two weeks were hell for her.
It was like realizing you're a drug addict after casually trying drugs and suddenly finding yourself addicted.
She now understood that she couldn't live without Hae-Sol.
'I have to get pregnant somehow. Even if I become a concubine or a secret lover, it's fine. As long as I don't get dumped.'
The best way not to get dumped was to get pregnant.
Hae-Sol, unusually for a man, hated using condoms.
Thanks to that, every time they had sex, he always came inside her.
Unfortunately, she hadn't gotten pregnant yet, but she believed that if they met and did it often enough, it would happen.
"By the way, didn't you say you were cleaning up your place?"
"Yeah. But the lease isn't up yet, so it's fine."
"Still, that means you'll eventually have nowhere to go. If you ever need a place to stay, you can come to my place anytime. You're always welcome."
Joo-ah put her hand on Hae-Sol's hand and stroked it gently.
It was a blatant seduction.
Then Hae-Sol turned his hand over and interlocked his fingers with hers.
"Don't your parents live at your place?"
"No! I moved out last week. So our Hae-Sol can come anytime he wants."
Her parents tried to stop her from moving out, but she insisted and left.
Why?
'He's so busy, I have to provide a comfortable space for him.'
She wanted her place to be a comfortable space for Hae-Sol.
Not knowing her ulterior motives, Hae-Sol innocently made a suggestion.
"Then can I come over and see it now?"
"Huh?"
Her mind was racing.
She had planned the date so carefully... but that thought quickly vanished.
If Hae-Sol was coming to her place, it meant they could have sex.
The date plan she had stayed up all night preparing was quickly forgotten.
She shrugged it off without a hint of regret.
'The goalkeeper opened the goal for me to score, so if I don't take this chance, I'm an idiot.'
Joo-ah grabbed Hae-Sol's hand tightly and nodded.
"Let's go."
Food, coffee, none of that mattered.
The only thing on the minds of the excited young couple was one thing.
