Chapter 84: Chapter 84

Seeing Shin Ah-young’s private message, it seemed like she had definitely confirmed me as a ghost.

Last time, she told us not to be late for the group assignment, and now she’s openly saying not to be late even at night.

I thought it would be okay to admit I was a ghost and apologize, but I was also curious about how she would gather evidence.

So, I decided to stubbornly insist to the end.

I am definitely not a ghost, it’s just your misconception.

I’m not sure if it will work.

But somehow it will work out.

About 14 hours later, at 4 PM.

After coming back from the gym and resting, I suddenly realized a problem.

Tomorrow’s group meeting involves each of us presenting in front, which can’t be done in a quiet cafe.

Imagining standing up alone at a table to present seemed ridiculous.

It seemed like we would need to change the location.

I immediately picked up my phone and sent a message to the group chat.

-Park Woo-jin: Does anyone remember what we are doing for the group meeting tomorrow?

After waiting a moment, replies came in one by one.

-Seo A-rin: Aren’t we doing the presentations ourselves tomorrow?

-Jang Min-hyuk: I remember that too.

-Shin Ah-young: Yes. We are supposed to explain the problems ourselves.

-Park Woo-jin: Everyone seems to know. I have something to say about that. As I thought, we can’t do that in a cafe.

-Jang Min-hyuk: Oh right. It would be embarrassing to stand up in front of everyone.

-Shin Ah-young: So, are we doing it somewhere else?

-Seo A-rin: How about a study cafe? It seems like that wouldn’t be a problem.

-Park Woo-jin: It would be quick and over, so I don’t see the need to pay to go there. Also, it might not have partitions.

Everyone seemed to be thinking for a while as the conversation paused.

As I was pondering and resting my hands, another KakaoTalk notification sounded.

-Shin Ah-young: Then, how about doing it in someone’s apartment? That seems best.

-Seo A-rin: Oh! That’s a good idea. But I live in a dormitory. :(

-Jang Min-hyuk: Me too, I’m in the dormitory. I can’t do it.

Looks like it’s just me and Shin Ah-young who live in apartments.

Feeling slightly uneasy, I started typing that I live in an apartment.

Just before hitting enter after writing the message, Shin Ah-young asked a question.

-Shin Ah-young: Team leader, do you live alone? If not, we can just do it at my place.

-Park Woo-jin: I do live alone.

-Shin Ah-young: Hmm.. Since I’ve relied a lot on the team leader before, maybe we should do it at my place this time?

Shin Ah-young was quite proactive about setting the atmosphere.

I was planning to refuse since I would have had to hide my onahole and other stuff if it was at my place.

It was a relief yet somewhat uneasy that she offered.

-Park Woo-jin: Sure, that would be great. Then, shall we meet at Ms. Shin Ah-young’s place at 1 PM tomorrow?

-Seo A-rin: I agree! I’ll bring something to drink, Ah-young~

-Jang Min-hyuk: I agree as well.

-Shin Ah-young: Then I’ll send my address later, so please come on time tomorrow.

With that, the conversation ended.

A real visit to Shin Ah-young’s room.

The thought felt strange, but I decided to worry about tomorrow when it comes.

For now, I decided to rest until I had to go to my part-time job.

When I arrived at the convenience store, I saw Han Hee-jin, who looked brighter than yesterday, and Han Chaea, who was slightly frowning.

I wasn’t used to this reversal of their usual expressions.

「Um…」

「What’s wrong, boss?」

「Just feeling a bit itchy.」

「Isn’t that work addiction? Be careful not to ruin your health and take it slow.」

「No, that’s not what I mean… I’ve been feeling really itchy lately.」

Han Hee-jin probably relieved her stress through her masturbation live stream yesterday.

As for Han Chaea… maybe the effects of the oil are kicking in?

It’s been about 10 days since she first applied it, so it could be.

If that’s the case, it’s probably her nipples that are itchy.

She couldn’t openly touch them, but from the way her body twitched, it seemed right.

「Since Woo-jin is here, I’ll go to the first store. Hang in there since it’s almost the weekend. Please take care.」

「Leave it to me, don’t worry.」

「Work hard, Hee-jin. See you later.」

「Okay, see you later, sis.」

Ding-dong.

As Han Chaea left, I turned to talk to Han Hee-jin.

I was curious, but also because she mentioned yesterday that no one talks to her during her live streams, which had been on my mind.

「You look better today. Something good happen?」

「Just relieved some stress yesterday.」

「Did you get into some hobbies?」

「Yeah, you could say that. Had some free time for a change.」

「Hobbies late at night, huh? Can you tell me what it is?」

「Are you trying to pry into a woman’s hobbies? Absolutely not.」

「Sorry for asking.」

Her expression turned fierce, so I didn’t ask further.

I wasn’t exactly hoping for an answer about her masturbation broadcast.

Still, she could’ve made something up like exercise or gaming.

I helped with the checkout, shrinking back into my role.

Time passed adequately, and it was 10 PM.

Soon, the manager would be back.

「Ah…hello. I’m here. Hello, Hee-jin.」

「Welcome back. You worked hard.」

「Thank you. Oh, Woo-jin. Sorry to ask you this right after you arrive…」

「Say anything.」

「Could you give me a shoulder rub? I still remember how refreshing yesterday’s massage was.」

「Of course, come this way.」

Han Chaea sat in the same spot as yesterday.

I naturally moved behind her and brushed her hair aside.

The scent of her good perfume mixed with a slight sweat smell rose as I placed my hands on her slightly damp shirt and started applying pressure.

As the shirt crept up slightly, her breasts jostled.

Lost in the sight, I inadvertently applied more pressure.

「Uh…! Ouch..! Go easy, it hurts.」

「I’m sorry.」

It was the perfect line for a misunderstanding.

As requested, I eased the pressure and slowly helped her relax.

「Uh…yes, there…that’s good, keep that intensity…」

After about five minutes.

Han Chaea looked back at me with a satisfied expression.

「Your hands are big, so it feels really refreshing. Thank you.」

「You’re welcome. It’s nothing.」

Watching Han Chaea smile, I sneakily glanced at Han Hee-jin, but she remained expressionless as usual.

Time moved on, and it was 11:30 PM.

I finished my shift and arrived home.

As I was relaxing, another KakaoTalk notification rang.

Ding!

-Seo A-rin: Ah, team leader! This is a chatroom without Ah-young. Let’s go together to Ah-young’s place tomorrow.

-Jang Min-hyuk: How about we meet up early and buy some snacks at the supermarket? It feels rude to go empty-handed since she’s lending us her place.

I marveled at the moment.

They avoided potential awkward situations where someone might forget to bring something or items might overlap.

It was a good idea to anticipate this.

-Park Woo-jin: That sounds good. How about we meet at 12:30 PM in front of Future Supermarket tomorrow?

-Seo A-rin: Yes, sounds good!

-Jang Min-hyuk: I was going to suggest that too, bro. See you then.

But do you bring gifts to a tiger’s den?

Saturday.

At the appointed time, I went to the supermarket, and Seo A-rin and Jang Min-hyuk were already there.

They waved excitedly as they saw me.

「Hello, team leader!」

「Finally, the last one, bro.」

「Nice to meet you. It’s hot, so shall we quickly go inside?」

「Yes~」

Being a spot frequented by college students, it was one of the larger supermarkets in the area.

We slowly browsed, picking out drinks and coffee.

「Everyone’s going to Ah-young’s house for the first time, right? I’m really excited.」

「No one from our school has been there before, right? It’s Shin Ah-young’s house.」

「I imagine walking into Ah-young’s house and smelling flowers, and it being really clean.」

It did smell nice, but.. also like pussy juice?

Of course, only on weekend nights.

「How about you, team leader? What do you think it’ll be like?」

「Uh..oh? I’m really looking forward to it too.」

「Right? Me too!」

I’ve visited quite often, so I know the layout of her room, where the dildo is hidden, etc., but they seem to imagine just a flower garden.

Considering Shin Ah-young’s looks, that made sense.

After casually picking out some snacks, we headed to Shin Ah-young’s apartment.

Entering the building she had described, we found the correct unit and rang the doorbell.

「Who is it?」

「Hey, Ah-young, it’s us!」

「I’ll be right out.」

Her clear voice was followed by the door opening.

As the door swung open, a genuine floral scent wafted out.

「Welcome, everyone. I spruced up the room a bit since you were all coming over today.」

Inside, the room had a slightly different ambiance than usual, appearing cleaner and tidier.

「Let’s go in~」

Seo A-rin and Jang Min-hyuk entered one after another.

I showed the bag I was holding to Shin Ah-young as I stepped in.

「We brought this since you’re lending us your place.」

「You shouldn’t have… Thank you, Ghost.」

Her last word was whispered so only I could hear.

I was caught off guard as I didn’t expect her to say that with others around, making me flinch momentarily.

Seeing my reaction, Shin Ah-young grinned mischievously.

「Ah-young, what did you say?」

「Oh, nothing. Let’s go in.」

I was trying not to act like a ghost, but she had already landed a hit.

I set the bag on the desk and began unpacking its contents.

We had bought coffee and snacks, just little things to nibble on.

Once everyone had their snacks in front of them, we gathered around, and Shin Ah-young was the first to speak.

「How does everyone feel about being in my room? Except for my parents, you can count the number of people who have been here on one hand.」

「I thought it would smell like flowers and I was right! The room is pretty too.」

「It’s more ordinary than I expected. I thought it would be fancier.」

Seo A-rin and Jang Min-hyuk shared their impressions.

Shin Ah-young, looking pleased, then turned to me.

「How about you, team leader?」

「It’s very clean and smells nice.」

「Hehe… thank you. Ah, give me a moment, I need to use the bathroom before we start.」

She headed to the bathroom, and soon my phone vibrated.

A very suspicious timing.

I discreetly checked my KakaoTalk so the others wouldn’t see.

Sure enough, there was a message from Shin Ah-young.

I clicked on it and gasped.

「Ah..!」

「What’s wrong, Oppa?」

「Nothing. It’s nothing.」

I calmed my racing heart and looked back at the screen.

There was one photo and a message.

Always unpredictable, Shin Ah-young.

Shin Ah-young: I’m not wearing panties right now. Oops, did I send that by mistake? :)

Below that was a photo of Shin Ah-young holding a pair of black panties, taking a selfie in the mirror.
