“Woah, what’s this.”

“Ugh. How disgusting.”

In the afternoon with the room still lit by sunlight, female uni students were looking around at adult toys laid out as if at some children’s bazaar.

Watching them made me feel strange.

I wondered if running an adult toy store would make me feel this way every day.

I was the one who suggested we go to the place, I was the one who shouted to buy them, and I was the one who swiped the card too, but strangely, I felt so wronged.

“Wow, wow. It’s my first time seeing the real thing.”

Among them, Seo Yerin was the most excited about the stuff, examining this and that.

As she picked each item up and looked around, her eyes sparkled with curiosity, and I suddenly got worried she might suggest we go to an adult toy store together later.

“What is… this?”

On the other hand, Choi Yiseo, who seemed to have little knowledge in this area, looked at a Tenga with a puzzled expression.

Upon seeing that, Yu Arin deliberately picks up two Tengas, one red and one blue, and plops them on top of her head.

“Like horns?”

Yu Arin looked at me with a playful expression. Knowing it was obviously a joke, Choi Yiseo pouted and glanced at me.

Yu Arin, still holding the two Tengas (they are basically a vibrator with a hollow inside for dicks to fit into) above her head as if they were horns, seems curious about how I would respond.

“It’s a cover.”

I decided on a brazen response.

“A cover?”

“Yeah, a dick cover.”

“……”

“I bought it to wear when it gets cold in the winter.”

“Ugh, what are you saying, you crazy bastard!”

Yu Arin, clearly annoyed, threw the Tengas at me. If she was going to react like this, she should have explained it herself instead of passing it off to me.

“It’s something men use for self-pleasure.”

“I-I heard it feels really great! Be-better than doing it with your hand!”

Seo Yerin joined in, saying she heard a familiar story. She too was holding a Tenga, which seemed to have multiplied somehow.

“Is it disposable?”

As Choi Yiseo looked around at the Tenga and muttered, Yu Arin shrugged and replied.

“Probably not? It should last a few months, right?”

“…Four of them?”

Damn.

I absolutely have no idea how to explain this situation.

Intrigued, Seo Yerin.

Disgusted, Choi Yiseo.

And Yu Arin, daring me to make an excuse to her face.

Looking at the four colorful Tengas, I sighed and answered.

“Using a different one each time is like doing it with a different person every day… Pffft!?”

Immediately, Yu Arin and Choi Yiseo’s fists flew at me, and I fell to the ground with a thud, kneeling.

“Ah, seriously.”

“Crazy bastard!”

I thought it was a pretty cool reason to give, but it didn’t seem to work.

They left me lying there and started looking around again among themselves.

Starting with sexy lingerie.

“Th-this doesn’t seem to have any effect as underwear?”

“Woojin likes this kind of stuff.”

“No, damn it.”

A women’s exclusive vibrator.

“Wow, Kim Woojin even buys stuff like this.”

Ziiiiing!

“Huh?!”

“Ah, it looks painful.”

After leaving me alone with Yu Arin starting to hit my back with the vibrator, Choi Yiseo and Seo Yerin started looking at other items.

“Grrrrrrr!”

“Hmm, is this how it feels to be vibrated by a tool?”

I thought my back was going to break as it was set to maximum output. The vibration was so intense, it felt like it was reaching my brain.

“A box of condoms.”

“Sigh, that’s really…”

Holding the condom box with both hands, Seo Yerin’s face turned red with embarrassment, and Choi Yiseo smacked her forehead, recalling the events of the previous night.

Could it be that she thought I bought these because we couldn’t do it without condoms? That could be viewed as a persistent annoyance.

“Wow, that was fun.”

Yu Arin left me slumped and rejoined the unique bazaar. The last thing Seo Yerin pulled out was.

“Wow, wow.”

“That’s a bit…” freёnovelkiss.com

“Why did a guy buy this though?”

A dildo emitting a brilliant purple hue.

Seeing its explicitly phallic shape, the three of them showed different reactions.

First, Choi Yiseo immediately looked away.

Yu Arin, holding the dildo, started pressing it firmly against my fallen cheek.

And lastly, Seo Yerin.

“Sigh, compared to Woojin…”

In the midst of uttering nonsense, I unknowingly covered my mouth with both hands.

Naturally, everyone’s attention was already focused on Seo Yerin.

Leaving Kim Woojin, who had become a corpse, at his home, the three people went to a rice wine house.

Between Seo Yerin, Choi Yiseo, and Yu Arin, a strange atmosphere was swirling.

After Seo Yerin’s bombshell dropped earlier, it made them all say they wanted a drink, so this time, the women came to drink together.

But even after coming here, they just looked at each other, and time passed awkwardly with them.

“Sh-shall we order first?”

When Choi Yiseo cautiously opened the menu and asked, the other two quickly looked at the menu as well.

“Wow, there are so many types of rice wines around.”

“It’s my first time too. It’s fascinating.”

At the two’s adorable reactions, Choi Yiseo gently smiled and began to simply recommend.

In her case, being a representative, she often had to attend various team dinners, so she had been to places like this before.

“Here, they have it by stages, so just match it and eat. The sweet ones do taste good.”

“Really?”

“The names of the drinks are pretty too.”

For side dishes, it was naturally onion pancake and kimchi pancake. There was also a pancake with cheese, but they decided to try it first before ordering.

What was important came next.

After ordering, they suddenly ran out of things to say.

Seo Yerin and Yu Arin had been friends since high school.

Choi Yiseo and Seo Yerin had also become quite close in recent times.

Although there was a bit of discomfort between Choi Yiseo and Yu Arin, in theory, with Seo Yerin as a lubricant between them, there shouldn’t have been a problem.

But due to Seo Yerin’s bombshell earlier, she was now keeping her mouth tightly shut, making the atmosphere awkward.

Ironically.

People think similarly in similar situations. Just like at the guys’ drinking party yesterday.

To break the awkward atmosphere, the three started to drink the alcohol they had out diligently.

Before long, the atmosphere began to gradually warm up.

“Yesterday, when I was talking to Woojin, he asked if it was a chicken place, you know?”

Seo Yerin, who had been drinking the rice wine eagerly because it tasted good, explained what happened yesterday with a laugh, and the other two immediately related.

“Yeah, I also got a call for a sushi place.”

“Damn, I got switched with some weird guys.”

“When I said it was Seo Yerin, they asked to deliver Seo Yerin because she was delicious last time.”

Though they said the chicken from that place was delicious, Seo Yerin pretended not to hear about the chicken in front of her.

“……”

“…Isn’t that sexual harassment though?”

Choi Yiseo and Yu Arin looked at Seo Yerin with ambiguous expressions, but whether she was like that because she was drunk or if she was always like that… She giggled and waved her hands.

“It’s because I’m drunk, that’s all.”

Though she said so.

“It was delicious, hee.”

Seeing her muttering to herself, Choi Yiseo, feeling inexplicably irritated, butted in with a pout.

“He’s got a box of condoms at his place.”

If they weren’t drunk.

They wouldn’t have had this conversation at all.

Of course, it wasn’t just because they were drunk that things got this messed up.

But because Seo Yerin had provoked them earlier and the fact that the two had already been involved, Choi Yiseo was just feeling bad.

“Last time with me…”

When she brought up the condom incident from the time she stayed over at Kim Woojin’s house, the expressions on Seo Yerin and Yu Arin’s faces turned serious.

“Ah, I, I mean!”

The two incited. The rice wine bottles kept piling up, caught between two people who surprisingly had a lot to talk about.

Yu Arin, whose only memory was sharing chocolate milk and fumbling touches, steps outside for some air.

Thanks to the convenience store right next door, she squats down with a Chocomong she bought. Anyone would think she was smoking, but she was just sipping chocolate milk through a straw.

Despite being relatively good with alcohol, she’s unexpectedly hit by the buzz from the rice wine.

Sipping on the Chocomong with frustration, she couldn’t hold back and made a call.

Hearing Kim Woojin’s voice on the other end somehow made her feel at ease, but her tone came out brusque.

“You jerk.”

“Drunk!”

“Shut up! You crazy bastard! Do you think I’m like you?!”

“Come pick me up!”

“I’m being hunted!”

What kind of person is this?

“Shut up!”

After hanging up, Yu Arin stuffed her phone into her pocket with a huff and returned to her seat. Just a moment ago, she thought it would be best to drink moderately, but now she wanted to gulp it down again.

But that impulse disappeared quickly. When she returned to her seat, it was a complete mess.

“Eek? There are so many in here?”

Choi Yiseo, who had somehow packed a box of condoms, was opening it and counting each one.

“So it’s Woojin.”

Seo Yerin, who introduced her ties with Kim Woojin, was in conversation with the purple dildo placed beside her.

Should I have called?

Should I ask to be picked up?

As she picked her phone up again, one of the men sitting next to her stealthily approaches and smiles.

“Sorry, but I think my wireless earphones got connected to your phone.”

“……”

“So, could you please check it for me if it’s not too much trouble?”

“Do you really want to hit on me after seeing this scene?”

One is counting condoms and the other is talking to a dildo?

“Ha ha, you’re quite a unique one.”

“…Get lost.”

“Aw, don’t be like that.”

Did he think she was an easy woman or something?

No, who would think she’s not an easy woman after seeing the scene at the table, right?

Yu Arin quickly put the condom box and dildo into her bag and made a call on her phone.

“Your friends seem a bit lonely today, don’t they?”

“Ah, just piss off! Why the hell is your earphone bothering us, you crazy bastard! If you’re going to try hunting for dates, use your brain a little!”

“……”

“Go away! Everyone here is taken!”

“Ye-yes! Sorry!”

After shaking off the persistent man, Yu Arin was fuming when Kim Woojin finally answered the call.

After saying that, he hung up.

“…Sigh.”

With her anger reaching its peak, Yu Arin gulped down the rice wine in front of her straight from the bottle.

“Please bring three more bottles of rice wine here!”

After a crushing defeat in the game.

Having spent money, I couldn’t just leave it at that, so I was deeply considering experiencing a Tenga while searching for a lady tonight.

Knock knock.

The knock from outside made my expression sour instantly.

“Ah, seriously.”

Feeling a bit disappointed that my concentration was disrupted, but since I hadn’t started a new game yet, I got up immediately.

“Who is it?”

As I ask at the door, the heavily intoxicated voice of Yu Arin answers from outside.

“It’s Arinee! I brought alcohol!”

“…What?”

“Here! The alcohol is tasty!”

“That sounds delicious! It’s my first time!”

Seo Yerin reacts excitedly to Yu Arin, whose speech was slurred as if she was in high spirits.

“Sseup, it doesn’t seem like it’ll taste good though?”

The moment I hear the voice of Choi Yiseo, making nonsense claims about the taste of the alcohol she brewed herself while her pronunciation remained intact…

My head began to hurt in more ways than one.
