Damn… my stomach…
"Ugh…"
The group date's aftermath, plus more drinking, still has my gut churning.
Two days later, and my stomach's still burning.
All because In-ha dragged me out to drink till dawn.
She said it was to blow off steam, then went ham on the punching machine and whack-a-mole all night. The way she smashed those moles like they were Myung-jun's head was terrifying… yeah…
"Man, that was stress-relieving!"
If she says it helped, fine. Better than her taking it out on some poor bastard.
"Yo, how'd the group date go?"
"Was it good?"
"Success?"
"Instant couple?"
…
We're the ones who went, so why are the seniors freaking out?
No clue how to reply.
"It was a total flop, seniors!" feels weird to say…
First time for all of us, so it ended kinda meh. Throwing strangers together made it drag.
I'm just happy to have the experience…
[Park Do-hyun: Yo, that was fun]
[Park Do-hyun: Was I too drunk? Sorry lol]
[Park Do-hyun: Wanna hit a buffet next time?]
[Park Do-hyun: Our trio was solid, agree? Haha]
Why's this guy blowing up the chat?
No word from the girls, but Do-hyun's still messaging.
Looks like a soccer team delinquent but acts all pure. Like a golden retriever chasing fun, with that dark skin…
"Ugh…"
Mondays are rough.
Was high school like this?
I don't remember Mondays being this brutal back then…
Weirdly, college makes it worse. Feels like a trek to hell.
[National College Poker Club]
Dragging myself to campus…
Saw a weird sign at the entrance.
National College Poker Club? There's a club for poker?
"Check it out if you're interested!"
"Big prizes! Come take a look!"
What a random club.
Poker's got a shady rep, so it feels weird. Not exactly illegal, but the gambling vibe's strong.
"It's on the first floor of the student center by the library. Stop by if you're curious!"
Poker… at school?
Is our campus just weird?
Sure, poker and Texas Hold'em are kinda sports, but seeing a flyer like this feels off…
"Hmm…"
Maybe I'll check it out if I've got time.
Curious about the prize money…
After lunch, I shuffled to the student center.
Wonder how many people are there.
Five would be lucky, right? Most folks don't know card games…
"Come check it out!"
Whoa.
More people than I thought. Expected three at most, but there's like ten. Add spectators, and it's nearly twenty.
Guess all the delinquents on campus are into this… crazy interest.
"Let me take a peek."
I slipped into the crowd, eyeing the table.
One dealer, four players. Others waiting, maybe?
Feels legit, which is weirdly cool.
"First place prize: 2 million won."
"Top three get to compete in the national poker tournament."
2 million? That's big.
No guarantee I'd win, but that's like a month's part-time pay.
Three times getting screwed over by Juha, and I'd make that in poker.
…Is that the right comparison?
"Hmm…"
Most players were newbies. They knew basic hands but no finesse.
Like Silver or low Gold in League terms.
"When's the qualifier?"
"Next week! Right now, it's just practice matches."
"Cool."
Entry fee's basically nothing. Should I try?
Haven't played face-to-face like this in ages.
Brings back memories…
"I'll join a practice match."
"Ever played Hold'em?"
"A bit…"
"Sit over there. If you're busy, there's another setup on the second floor."
No need for the second floor.
I sat in the waiting line, watching the players.
Back in the day, I wouldn't touch poker. Maybe Juha's fault, but I'm less freaked out now.
This is bad…
"Damn, I had a flush."
"So close."
They're not folding…
Watching got boring fast.
For brain games, Juha's sketchy site was better. Here, it's just mindless betting, no psychology.
Seen enough. I stood to leave when I spotted a familiar face.
Staring blankly at the game…
Jin-sung? Bread Shuttle Alliance member Jin-sung?
"?"
He felt my gaze and turned. Froze when he saw me.
Like, "Why the hell are you here?"
"Joonhyung-kun?"
Yup, it's Jin-sung.
Still hasn't fixed that weird speech…
---
"Damn it."
I don't wanna go out.
In-ha, in pajamas, stared at the ceiling.
Weekends are supposed to be fun, but she's pissed.
Plan was to go wild all weekend…
But the group date flop killed her vibe.
"Fucking annoying…"
Wasn't even asking for much…
Just a quick step-out, and he shot her down.
"Go with Do-hyun."
Practically a rejection.
Not sure if he just wasn't into her or was wingmanning for Do-hyun.
Either way, getting shut down threw her off.
Why… why'd she get rejected? Before she could think, Do-hyun dragged her out.
"So damn annoying…"
Pissed enough to crave a cigarette.
She quit smoking a while ago, but this brought it back.
They say college is full of hot guys, but nah. Just weirdos.
The decent ones are nuts, and clubs are crawling with drugged-up creeps.
"Ugh, damn it!"
Nothing's going right!
In-ha punched her blanket, then slumped.
It's the weekend, and she's got nothing to do… so depressing…
Maybe hit up Juha's place. Been a while…
Juha… Juha… She paused mid-mutter.
Speaking of Juha… something clicked.
In-ha grabbed her phone and started searching.
Only…Fans.
"Almost forgot about this."
Got busy and spaced on it.
How the hell did she make 8 million won with three videos?
"Hmm…"
Damn it…
The payment system's a pain.
Why's it in dollars?
After fumbling around, she scrolled down.
Juha's channel was still top-tier.
In-ha let out a hollow laugh.
Still can't believe it… crazy bitch.
"Four videos…?"
Wasn't it three last time?
She shot another one? When? That day she ignored my call? Joonhyung, you insane bastard?
"Crazy bitch…"
Nervously, In-ha clicked the first video.
First time paying for porn.
Feels gross, curious, and shitty all at once.
"Damn it!"
She whipped her head away.
Right as it started, Joonhyung's naked ass popped up! So much hair, you freak!
She frantically hit skip.
Scene changed—Juha's face buried in Joonhyung's junk.
"Gasp."
Is she insane?
Why's she sucking that? Bet it stinks…
"Ugh…!"
"Argh…!"
"Urk…!"
Joonhyung's moans were loud as hell.
Hearing a familiar voice made it weirder.
This is nuts…
In-ha clicked her tongue and skipped ahead.
"Huh…"
For real?
Her heart started racing.
Her high school bestie, one of her closest friends, in a sex tape…
Watching it on her phone… her lips went dry.
"Damn it…"
She covered her eyes, turning away.
The wet sound of insertion.
Just hearing it made her dizzy. Not with some random guy, but a nerd like Joonhyung…
"Fix that dumb moaning, you idiot!"
She peeked back at the screen.
A hairy dick pounding Juha's pussy like crazy.
Like a rabid animal in heat…
It made her stomach churn, but she couldn't look away, a weird thrill hitting her.
"But…"
This crazy bitch didn't use a condom?
Raw? With that guy?
"Ugh…!"
"Gonna… cum…!"
Then pull out, idiot!
She kept watching, but he didn't budge. Clearly about to blow.
Are they insane? Anyone can see he's about to bust.
Instead, they clung tighter.
"Ha… hah…"
Joonhyung hugged Juha, trembling.
In-ha's brain froze.
He came? Inside?
She shot up, stunned. Are they crazy?
"Ungh…"
The shaking stopped, and Juha lifted her hips, rushing to the bathroom with a wet sound.
In-ha's jaw dropped, mind blank.
Not their first time? And he just… came inside? Makes no sense.
The video was only halfway done. In-ha, entranced, kept skipping forward.
"Damn it!"
Joonhyung's ass again, damn it!
Like a monkey, he was pounding Juha. Humping like it's his pussy. In-ha threw her phone onto the sofa.
"Damn it!!!"
Saw something she can't unsee!
She dove under her blanket, trembling.
Her face was burning…
Not just Joonhyung's grunting…
Juha's slow, heavy moans wouldn't leave her head.
Not some random guy, but a nerd's dick making her moan like that…
"Damn it…"
Shouldn't have watched…
Too late for regrets. It's seared into her brain—every time she sees Juha or Joonhyung, it'll come back.
She peeked out from the blanket, glancing at the sofa.
Wet, filthy sounds still played.
Damn it…
In-ha, dazed, crept over.
"Paid for it, might as well watch…"
Gotta finish what she bought.
She grabbed her phone, flopped onto the bed, fanning her face.
