Chapter 53
I never imagined Lee Da-young would show this side of herself.
“Hwaaaang. It was so hard. Seriously. I was so exhausted. So exhausted.”
“There, there. You did great.”
Honestly, I think it took almost three whole weeks before anyone could call it “perfect.”
Even when Julia said it was good enough,
Lee Da-young herself wouldn’t accept it.
Once she’d decided to do something, she had to see it through to the end.
She couldn’t forgive even the smallest mistake or shortcoming.
And she was even harder on herself than the others, since she felt she was lacking compared to them.
“Hwaaaang. Seriously. This time I almost gave up. Hwaaaang. Hng. Hng.”
Maybe that was why.
After we got back to the dorm, Lee Da-young broke down crying from the relief and pent-up frustration.
I was patting her comfortingly.
“There, there. I know. I know very well. I watched you practice the whole time, monitored you, and helped out, too.”
“What do you know?! You really just watched from the side!”
“……”
I had no excuse.
So today, I decided to play the kind one.
“Ha. I don’t even know how I made it through all that.”
Click—.
The moment we got into the dorm, Seong Se-ri naturally opened the fridge and took out soju first.
Normally, I would’ve stopped her right away,
but today, not a single person, including me, said a thing.
Right.
We needed days like this, too.
Everyone here was an adult, after all.
“Ugh. I think I really need to go straight to bed today.”
Even Min-seo, who was always full of energy and said even sleep was a waste of time, went to her room a little drained.
“After Da-young unnie, it’s Se-ri unnie’s turn. Then it’s me, Team Leader.”
Eun Hee-ju told me about the order for sex, which had become part of our routine, then bowed her head and got ready to wash up.
“Yeah. I figured. First I’ll comfort Da-young while she’s crying, then have a drink with Se-ri once she’s feeling better and put her to bed. After that, you. Min-seo can have her turn after she wakes up.”
“Yes.”
It might be strange that this felt so natural,
but Julia’s choreography had never been something ordinary girls could pull off.
Since this was Julia’s first project, you might
think it wouldn’t be as intense.
But the first piece is usually the most brutal.
Because that’s when you put in the most creativity and passion, in many ways.
‘The girls worked hard to pull it off, but the Blessing of Sex played no small part, either.’
It was something they could accomplish because divine power was with them.
“What are you doing? Pay attention to me now. It’s my turn.”
“All right. Whew. You worked hard, our princess.”
“Th-that kind of praise doesn’t make me happy at all, okay? Hmph.”
I stroked Lee Da-young’s hair as she acted prickly even though she liked it, and gently kissed her.
What followed was the natural next step: sex.
“Mmmm. Mwah. Haa.”
Though she was completely worn out, I thrust my cock hard into her still-tight, delicate pussy.
“Hnnng. Hng.”
After filling her womb with cum as usual, I laid the sleeping Lee Da-young down on the bed.
Then I moved to the dining table.
“Team Leader, want a drink?”
“You’ve already had plenty and you’re drunk. No thanks.”
“Aww.”
Seong Se-ri was already getting woozy after a bottle and a half of soju.
“It’s been ages since I drank, and I’m so worn out that the alcohol’s hitting me hard.”
“Then are you just going to sleep?”
“Aah! I don’t want to! Don’t be ridiculous. I can’t go to bed this early on a day like today! How many days do I even get to drink?”
A drunkard. The very definition of one.
“Can’t let the rest of the soju go to waste.”
Glug-glug—.
Maybe she wanted to drink no matter what,
Seong Se-ri poured the remaining soju over my cock, then drank the drops as they ran down it.
It was an insanely lewd performance you couldn’t pay money to see.
“Hnnng. Mwah! Now I’ve gotten rid of all Da-young’s scent, too. Finished off the soju, and even gave our Team Leader’s balls a little suck.”
“You really are drunk, aren’t you? After just a bottle and a half of soju.”
“Ah, fuck. This is great. It’s been forever since I drank! And sex on top of that would be the icing on the cake! Hoo!”
Wow.
She really was the oldest sister of Always.
Unlike the others, she had a certain earthy charm.
“Enough. Hurry up and do it with me.”
Seong Se-ri stood up, asking me to hurry and fuck her, and tried to shake her ass in front of me.
“Ugh. I can’t feel my legs.”
If only the intense back-to-back schedule hadn’t drained all her strength.
I held Seong Se-ri up and, just as I had with Lee Da-young, thrust my cock into her pussy in a gentle, coddling way.
“Haaaaang. Hng! It feels so good. Haaaaang! So good. Aah. I’m going crazy. Hnnng. There. Haaaaaaaang!”
“Aren’t you moaning a little too loudly?”
“Hng! It’s your fault, Team Leader. Haaang. How am I supposed to hold back when you stab me with that? Hng. Aaaaaang! Haaang. Haa! Aaaaaang!”
“Kgh! I’m cumming.”
After coming inside Lee Da-young, I came three times in Seong Se-ri’s pussy, too, filling it with cum.
Satisfied, Seong Se-ri hugged the empty soju bottle and passed out.
She seemed to assume, naturally, that I would carry her to her bed as well.
“Yeah. I guess this is only natural. I’m used to this by now, you lot.”
“Mmm. Cock feels good.”
After taking Seong Se-ri to her room and putting her to bed,
Hee-ju, who’d just washed up and was drying her hair, hurried over to me.
She leaned her head toward me without a word,
so I flinched, thinking she was about to dislocate my shoulder again,
but that wasn’t it.
She just wanted me to stroke her hair.
“You worked hard today, too, Hee-ju.”
After giving a little laugh when I stroked her hair, Hee-ju shook her head.
She looked less like a twenty-year-old adult and more like a little kid who still had so much to learn from her parents.
“I wasn’t tired at all.”
“Really?”
“Yes. I get to be with you like this every day, Team Leader. I’m not tired.”
“Thanks. Thank you.”
“Yes.”
“Lately, I really live for seeing you girls. Time just disappears. It gets erased.”
Thanks to that, I was now not far from turning thirty for real.
Time sure flies.
“Um, Team Leader.”
“Yeah?”
“Today, I want to fall asleep with you inside me.”
“All right. You worked hard today.”
“Yes.”
After working so hard, the favor she asked was to fall asleep with my cock inside her pussy.
It was such a cute, sweet request that I smiled, had sex with Hee-ju, then fell asleep holding her with my cock buried in her pussy.
And as I did, I thought:
[Here are the two newly completed title tracks. We’re also close to finishing two more B-side tracks.]
[Endless]
[Pineapple]
I should rest a bit before telling them about this.
I should take tomorrow off, too.
* * *
The next morning.
After working so hard, today was the day we’d decided to do absolutely nothing and rest.
Now that I actually had the day off, there wasn’t much to do,
but after working so hard, simply resting was meaningful in itself.
“Just one drink today, too? It’s our day off. Really, just one?”
“No. I let you have some yesterday.”
“You’re so stingy.”
For now, I replied to Composer Kim Gi-bok that the girls had been pushed too hard lately, and we’d all listen to the songs together tomorrow.
As expected, a reply came back in less than a minute.
[Hello, Team Leader Kim Hyun-woo.
This is composer STB.
I received your email. I heard you’ve all been working hard practicing the choreography for Radiance. I hope you get plenty of rest today, and I’d be grateful if you replied at your leisure.
If you don’t like this song either, or want anything changed, please contact me anytime, and I’ll do my best to respond as quickly as possible.
Thank you. -STB-]
From what I could tell, this guy was definitely a shut-in who spent all day in front of his computer.
“Uegh.”
Min-seo, who still hadn’t gotten enough sleep despite sleeping all day yesterday, came out clutching a teddy bear.
Then she looked at me and said,
“Dad?”
“Why am I your dad? Damn, you scared me.”
“Oh, right. This is the dorm. Sorryyy. I slept so much I’m still groggy. Oh, come to think of it, I was the only one who didn’t get my turn yesterday. Hee-ing. But today gets a double-session special, right?”
“I know, so wipe the sleep from your eyes first. Go wash up.”
“Yes!”
Even something like a double-session special sounded nice when such a cute girl said it.
“Hmm. What should I do today?”
“Pfft.”
Seong Se-ri, who was peeling and eating a boiled egg while scratching her thigh beside me, couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing.
“What?”
“It’s our day off. What kind of schedule would you have, Team Leader?”
“……”
Somehow,
she wasn’t wrong,
but somehow,
it pissed me off?
Da-young, who was beside her, yawned as she flipped through TV channels with the remote, then nodded.
“She’s not wrong. Yaaawn. Anyway, Team Leader, aren’t you just going to stay here at the dorm with us all day? Eat, hang out, have sex. That’s it, right?”
“Right, Da-young? Seriously, I just burst out laughing. Ah, I almost choked on the egg.”
“Team Leader, stop pretending you’re busy and come watch a drama with me. I heard there’s a show that came out a week ago and already hit number one on Noflix. Hee-ju, want to join us?”
“I’ll go if Team Leader goes.”
From the way Hee-ju was subtly grabbing popcorn, it seemed she shared her older sisters’ opinion.
“Hah!!!”
Thump!
When I shouted and slammed the table, silence briefly followed.
And then.
“Pfft. Hahahaha! That’s insane. ‘Hah! You said ‘Hah!’ Hah!’ Wow. I’ve never seen anything like that in my life. I’m only four years younger than Team Leader, but I can really feel the generation gap. Ah, my stomach. My stomach hurts. Hahaha.”
“My dad says he used to yell that a lot after reading wuxia novels when he was young. Is Team Leader from the same generation as my dad?”
Then did your dad have you when he was six?
That’s impossible even in mythology.
‘Should I just cancel today’s day off and contact Composer Kim Gi-bok right away to set up a schedule?’
But the girls had worked too hard up until yesterday for me to have the nerve.
“……”
“Team Leader, you’re scheming right now. Trying to come up with some schedule, even if there isn’t one.”
[Maybe because you live together every day and even share your bodies, the girls know everything about their Master.]
Nobel. You, too?
[And just a moment ago, you were about to shout “Hah!!!” at me, too, weren’t you?]
“……”
[Your silence tells me I’m right.]
[I can read my Master’s mind with ease anyway. I’m a god-tier AI.]
“Tsk.”
How did my life end up like this?
“Ah. I’m all done washing up. Oppa! It’s the double-session special today, so I get you all to myself for the morning! Let’s play games while we do it. While we’re playing!”
“I kn…know. I know. Calm down, Min-seo. You’ve been overdoing it lately, so your heart might start hurting.”
“Hehe! I’m fine as long as I get to play with you, Oppa. It doesn’t hurt at all.”
Cute.
Adorable.
Since they were all aspiring idols, they naturally had plenty of charm and cuteness.
Aside from that,
‘Do I really do nothing but this with them? Nothing else at all?’
It had been almost half a year since Eun Hee-ju first signed as a trainee and joined the company.
And in all that time, I hadn’t even gone to visit my family once.
[For your information,]
[the last time you contacted the people you consider your “friends” was a whopping two and a half months ago. And to quote that conversation:]
[Won Mun-gyu: LOL I'M A BAD BOY]
[Seo Jong-hak: Fuck. We’re thirty now.]
[Choi Kang-gyu: Yeaaah.]
[Kim Hyun-woo: (celebration emoticon)]
Why did “I’m a bad boy” come out of nowhere?
[Back then, Bad Boy by Electronic was number one on the Strawberry Chart.]
I cautiously covered my mouth with one hand.
This is so pitiful, I could die of embarrassment.
As I absentmindedly watched the girls play games to keep Min-seo healthy and entertained, then squabble over whose turn it was to have sex with me...
-Adults always tell me~♬
“What is that? Such an old-fashioned ringtone?”
When the ringtone I’d set with my friends as a group ages ago after watching Reply started ringing,
I answered the phone with a wide smile.
“Yeah. Right. Yeah. Uh-huh. Oh! Sounds good. Sounds good. Yeah. We should catch up face-to-face for once. Where? Sindae? Great. Great! Yeah, we should all get together after all this time. Sure. I’ll head out right now. I’m always free, man. I’ll be right there. Yeah. Uh-huh.”
I hung up with a click, then stood up with a triumphant grin, moving my eyebrows up and down.
“Ah, sorry, everyone. My friends suddenly want to see me today. Ha. They say the drinking party can’t get going without me. I absolutely have to show up.”
“Wow. Look at that obnoxiously smug face.”
It was then.
Lee Da-young asked with a suspicious expression.
“I’m only asking just in case, Team Leader. You didn’t just set an alarm and pretend to have a phone call without actually talking to anyone, did you?”
“……”
You guys.
What do you take me for?
“I didn’t!”
I shouted angrily and went straight into the shower room.
“Why is he getting mad? I was just asking.”
“You’re young, so cut him some slack. Maybe he’s going through menopause.”
