"Y... you're fucking lying."
Juri said in a dumbfounded tone.
What the fuck are you talking about?
The look on her face was like, "No way you did that with this nerd...?"
"It's true."
Juha's indifferent response was met with silence.
They both looked like they'd never heard anything more shocking in their lives.
"I told you I was going to film it. Why are you surprised?"
"Fuck, I thought it was a fucking joke!"
Juri exploded.
...I thought it was a fucking joke too.
Like always, just messing around with weird fantasies and talking bullshit...
I thought it was just one of those harmless pranks to kill time.
Until I was fucked like a dog...
"Joke, my ass..."
Would you say you're going to have sex with a nerd as a fucking joke?
Juha clicked her tongue.
It's us who should be clicking our tongues...
Juri, making a "Hmph," sound, crossed her arms.
"I didn't think about it since you didn't say anything afterward,"
Juri said, turning her head with another "Hmph," looking completely dumbfounded.
...There's no reason to announce that we had sex...
I was surprised too. Juha's unnecessary drive...
"Ha."
Juri looked at me again, as if she was fed up.
...Why... why are you looking at me?
'Glare.'
That piercing stare...
No, I didn't have a choice!
I didn't know it would really happen! Fuck, in the video, I'm treated like an object! It's fucking unfair!
"You filmed that shit for fun? Fucking nerds, I swear."
"He's got nothing to lose, so why not? It's good for him. He wouldn't have even had the chance if it wasn't for Juha."
The atmosphere calmed down a bit compared to before.
After the initial bomb dropped, it felt like things had settled into a lull...
"Why the fuck are you guys freaking out? It's not a big deal."
"How is it not a big deal, you crazy bitch?"
Juha's mouth popped open at the intense reaction.
Juri held her head as if she was getting a headache.
"You said you filmed it. There must be a video. Show it."
"You go in and look. It'll show up."
"Fuck... OnlyFans?"
"Yeah."
Juri, grimacing, started tapping on her phone.
She was doing something after logging in...
Then she stopped and sighed.
"You need to sign up, give me the ID."
"Just fucking sign up and watch it. Why try to see it for free?"
"I'm not trying to watch it for fun, I just want to fucking check!"
Juri yelled loudly.
In-ha froze in shock at the sudden shout.
Has she ever raised her voice like this?
In a way, Juri's reaction might be the most normal, but... this kind of sensitivity is expected...
"Hey, Joon-hyeong, give me your fucking ID."
"I... I don't have one?"
"Then fucking sign up and give it to me, you dumbass!"
Fuck... this is insane.
But I've rarely seen Juri this pissed off...
I hurriedly signed up and handed her my phone.
She could've signed up herself... Why is she freaking out... Well, given Juri's personality, she probably hates the idea of signing up for this...
"Fuck..."
Has... has she seen it?
Juri swayed as if dizzy and held her head again.
In-ha clung to Juri, checking the phone.
"Fuck!"
Even if they're close friends, seeing your friend's body on OnlyFans... that's shocking.
Maybe even more so because they're close.
In-ha's pupils were shaking violently. Is... is this fucking real?
'Scroll, scroll.'
I saw her scrolling roughly.
Where... where are they looking?
The first video thumbnail...? Or the second one where I'm spread out like a fucking idiot?
Or maybe the third video that was posted recently?
Since payment isn't set up, they can't watch the videos, but...
Just the thumbnails might be shocking enough...
"Is... is this you in the thumbnail? Joon-hyeong?"
"..."
Inha asked quietly.
Fuck. They've seen it.
I nodded slightly.
In-ha couldn't help but burst out laughing. She quickly tried to act serious, but... this bitch...
"Fuck... my head..."
Maybe her brain feels like it's exploding...
Juri handed the phone to In-ha like she was throwing it and leaned back.
Is this a dream or reality... That's the look on her face...
I drank water with trembling hands. Why the fuck am I scared? There's no reason to be...
Is it because I think Juha might be wrong, and they might cut off my fucking dick?
"Ugh... umm..."
In-ha kept making sounds of discomfort while scrolling through.
The look of "I've seen something I shouldn't have" and "I can't believe this"...
Just from the pictures, she has that look... What kind of face would she make if she watched the video?
She might faint...
"Why are you guys freaking out? I wanted to do it."
"Because it doesn't make sense, that's why!"
Juri reacted strongly.
In-ha was like, "Wow... fuck... hahahaha..." so Juri's reaction seems normal...
"Fuck, if you do it with that fucking nerd, then..."
Juri cut herself off.
The implication was, "What would that make of our status?"
Since Juha and Juri are of equal rank, if I did it with Juha, it's almost like we're equals.
Well, it doesn't make sense for a delinquent to fuck a nerd... That would ruin the whole delinquent-nerd dynamic.
"What if word gets out? What if your face gets exposed?"
Juri started questioning calmly again.
Juha scratched her ear. Like, "So what?"
"What if it does?"
"Fuck, how..."
Well, from Juha's perspective, everyone was beneath her...
So what if you know? Are you going to threaten me or something?
If you do, fuck, I'll beat the shit out of you... That's probably her simple thought...
If she had thought that deeply, she wouldn't have done it in the first place...
"Juuuhhaaa!"
"What? What?"
Juri stomped her feet.
What the fuck am I going to do with you, oh my god! It's already done, no fixing it...
"But how much did you make from this?"
In-ha suddenly asked.
That question made Juri pause.
Yeah... fuck. Let's hear how much she made. If it was just a million, then I'll fucking...
"8 million."
"What... what?"
The table went silent again.
This time, Inha's face froze even more.
E... eight... eight million? Eight million? In-ha's lips were flapping like a fish.
"You made 8 million."
"No... no way... you didn't even post that many videos."
"It was a huge hit."
Both of their expressions turned blank.
8... 8 million? Just for... 3 videos... 8 million?
In-ha looked at me with a dumbfounded expression.
"Fuck... is this... real?"
"Y... yeah..."
I nodded.
Including the revenue from the latest video, it's around 8 million...
There are taxes and fees, but... anyway, the incoming money is 8 million.
"How... how..."
How? It just fucking happened...
Juha showed them the earnings screen, still not quite believing it.
6,200 dollars... about 8.5 million won. Both froze at that screen.
"If 3 videos make 8 million... If you do 10 a month, how much..."
"Almost 20 million?"
"..."
In-ha's mouth kept flapping.
That's an insane amount...
8 million is almost a year's tuition at university. Three videos for a year's tuition...
By simple math, 12 videos would cover four years' worth of tuition. If you fuck me 12 times, you get four years' tuition! ...Fuck.
"No... no way..."
In-ha's gaze turned to me.
Why is she looking at me like that?
She's not looking at me like a person but like a money bag... If you fuck this guy... 8 million...?
Looking at me like I'm a walking ATM!
"Eight... Million..."
Juri mumbled like she was stunned.
It's just that 8 is an unbelievable number.
Even if she comes from a well-off family and gets a lot of allowance, it's still just allowance.
It's different when you earn it yourself.
"Even big corporations..."
Wouldn't make that much...
Even if you work for a big corporation, you'd take home about 3, and you can't spend all of that...
"Now you're going to make a fuss about filming more. Last time, you were all like, 'Oh, just imagining it is shit.'"
Juha's spirit seemed to revive a bit with their reactions.
Both were stunned by the amount.
Well, you need to make that much for it to be convincing.
"Eight... Million..."
What's with Inha?
She looked completely out of it. Maybe the unbelievable amount blew her mind...
"..."
In-ha looked at me, then looked away.
She seemed to think of something... then looked at me again.
Then she looked away again.
Eight... Million... she looked at me, then, "No, fuck, this isn't right..." she looked away, then...
But... eight million... she looked at me again...
...Fuck, am I not even seen as a person anymore?
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
The beer glasses had gone cold by then.
The glasses were now full of condensation, dripping with water.
"Fuck. Let's stop talking about this. Stop! Just stop for today."
Juri finally came to her senses and shook her head.
Do we have to talk about this shit on the first day we get together?
"Later. Let's talk about it later. Fuck, I came here to have a good time, but because of Joon-hyeong, this fucking bastard..."
Why is this my fault! I didn't suggest filming!
"Ugh, fuck, cheers."
Juri raised her glass.
Juha and In-ha, who seemed slightly out of it, raised theirs too.
I also lifted mine, clinking the edges.
"Fuck..."
Juri glared at me with wide eyes.
No, you told me to cheers...
"Ugh, my stomach. Ugh!"
Juri chugged her beer angrily.
A strange atmosphere settled on the table.
"Fuck, this beer tastes like shit. One more draft, please."
"Yeah, me too."
"Three, please, three."
...What about mine?
Juri ruffled her hair roughly and leaned against the wall.
In-ha was still lost in thought, muttering "Eight... hundred... eight... hundred..."
Juha was quietly chuckling, sipping her beer.
...The first night after the exams...
It was turning into a bizarre night.
