Time rewinds to the class reunion.
The fact that there was going to be a reunion honestly wasn't that exciting.
It felt like a waste of time, and I figured a date with Kang Min-hyuk would be way more fun.
I even debated trying to talk him out of it.
If I said we shouldn't go, he'd definitely back out.
But I couldn't bring myself to say it to Kang Min-hyuk, who was so pumped about it.
"What's got you so excited?"
"Oh, Seong-han said he's coming today too. Man, it's been years."
"Ah... Seong-han."
My boyfriend Kang Min-hyuk sounded thrilled, but honestly, I wasn't all that happy about it.
Because I'd picked up on his crush back in school.
Not content with just crashing our dates, he'd stare at me all spaced out.
He never made a bold move, but even if oblivious Kang Min-hyuk didn't notice, I couldn't miss it.
The fact that Seong-han liked me.
After graduation, he must've given up—or maybe just distanced himself on purpose—since our contact dried up. I remember Kang Min-hyuk moping about it for a while.
Deep down, I was worried.
What if he still had feelings for me?
Maybe I was overthinking it, but I'd had plenty of similar situations.
This time around, word got out about the reunion, and a few classmates started messaging me, slyly asking if I was still with Kang Min-hyuk.
Some even confessed out of the blue.
Of course, I turned them all down.
No telling if Seong-han would be any different.
Reunion time rolled around, and the two of us showed up a little late, drawing a ton of attention from the classmates.
"Whoa, you guys still together?"
"You two look perfect together."
"Still the golden couple, huh."
Kang Min-hyuk brushed it off with a laugh, and I smiled too as I took my seat next to him.
Golden couple. I'd heard that one plenty of times.
But truth be told, I hadn't started dating him because of his looks.
His appearance hadn't factored in at all.
What drew me in was Kang Min-hyuk's pure heart and the way he looked at me.
Yeah, that same purity and innocent gaze that's been driving me up the wall lately.
'No matter how you slice it, isn't that going too far?'
I'm no slouch in the looks department, and it's not like I never tried seducing him.
Hell, it even worked sometimes.
I'd catch glimpses of that bulge poking out in his pants now and then.
But he'd always dodge anything physical, promising to cherish me and all that.
'Dude, are you gay or what?'
I seriously started wondering.
'Should I just jump him? Ugh...'
I should've been upfront from the get-go.
Now that we're here, spite won't let me make the first move.
I wanted to tease him until he pounced.
My stupid pride was the reason we still hadn't done it, though.
Glancing around the table, I didn't spot Seong-han.
"We'll step out for a quick smoke."
With that, a pack of guys dumped a pile of stuff on the table and headed outside.
Curious, I peeked over—car keys, wallets, even rings and necklaces.
All luxury goods, casually flashed for bragging rights.
"Ugh, these idiots."
"Let 'em have their fun. When else are they gonna show off?"
"Wait, what's that car key from?"
So this is what a class reunion's like.
Seeing the subtle flexing I'd only heard about felt kinda off.
I pitied the group that had left, but clearly a few classmates envied the top three flashers, shifting the vibe to grudging admiration.
Guess their bragging paid off.
And then the pack returned, this time dragging a guy with them.
"Who's that?"
"Those clothes look pricey, right?"
"Shoes too..."
I have zero interest in designer stuff, but everyone else seemed to clock the expensive getup.
To me, it just looked tidy, so hearing "pricey" threw me.
Now that they mentioned it, yeah, it did have that vibe...
I lifted my eyes to the guy's face.
Average.
Familiar, even after all this time.
It was Seong-han, the one who'd said he'd show.
He had a decent build and looked awkward as hell, like he couldn't meet anyone's eyes—like we were all strangers.
Then he locked eyes with Kang Min-hyuk and lit up. They waved at each other.
Back in the day, he'd seemed wary of Min-hyuk—maybe because of me—always awkward. But now? No trace of it.
I breathed a quiet sigh of relief.
"Seong-han, grab a seat here."
At Min-hyuk's call, Seong-han plopped down right next to me, all natural.
Honestly, it made me a little uneasy, but the reunion wouldn't drag on forever. I'd tough it out.
Then Seong-han hit me with the most unbelievable question.
"What's your name again?"
"Huh? It's Ye-na. Don't you remember? The three of us hung out all the time with Min-hyuk."
He'd forgotten my name?
No way.
Really, just a tiny bit—a smidge—I felt slighted.
Back in school, he'd been so obvious about liking me, even gatecrashing our dates. And now he'd wiped it all?
He was still glancing my way, but that sleazy vibe from before? Gone.
He looked... more grown-up, somehow.
He is an adult, sure, but different from me and Min-hyuk.
Maybe he just hadn't climbed those stairs to adulthood?
'Today's the day.'
Screw it. All or nothing.
I'd jump drunk Min-hyuk, one way or another.
He never touched booze normally, but the reunion vibe got to him.
Watching him chug beer like water, I knew: this was my shot.
'But isn't he overdoing it?'
I knew his limit cold: one beer.
I knew his drunk habit too—passing out fast. Worry gnawed at me.
Anxiously tracking him with my eyes—
Clink.
I'd accidentally knocked my spoon off the table with my elbow.
"Ye-na's wasted~"
"Min-hyuk! Look after your drunk girl!"
"Pfft~ I'm fine!"
Like hyenas scenting blood, they piled on, teasing that I was drunk.
I bent down to grab the spoon, peering under the table.
And that's when I saw it.
Next to me, in Seong-han's pants—something rock-hard, propping up his jeans.
'Holy... fucking huge...'
No clue what had him tenting like that, but the sight flipped a switch in me.
I was already hornier than hell, rubbing one out daily.
Lately, my go-to jerk material? Vids of hung dudes pinning women down and railing them raw.
Staring at this—
'It's... getting bigger?'
I couldn't stop looking. The bulge swelled more, till I could even make out the glans shape.
Phone already in my left hand, I snapped a sneaky pic.
Then I slowly grabbed the spoon and straightened up.
Glanced Seong-han's way on instinct. Our eyes met.
'Wh-why's he looking right at me? No way...'
Did he get that hard from me?
The thought sent a delicious ache through my core.
Like I'd lose it if I didn't vent soon, I fired up my secret SNS and hammered out some posts.
[Next guy's dick... insanely hot...]
[Super horny lately, then BAM—erection sighting.]
[Turning bf into a cuck tonight and getting fucked.]
[But damn, bet this dude blows quick...]
[Fuck, wanna get raped.]
Pouring out my filthy thoughts felt good, eased the pressure.
Right around then, Kang Min-hyuk finally tapped out.
'Not tonight either, huh...'
Once he was like this, nothing woke him—not even a beating.
Like the classmates said, time to head out.
Seong-han stepped up to help get Min-hyuk home.
We cabbed it, him piggybacking Min-hyuk all the way inside.
Gulp.
Tension hit me out of nowhere.
What if he forces himself on me next to sleeping Min-hyuk?
...Better safe—no stream tonight.
But for all that he'd gotten hard staring at me, Seong-han didn't make a move.
Not even much chit-chat.
Then he checked his phone and let out a soft sigh.
"...Why?"
"Nah, the stream I was waiting for's off tonight."
My heart slammed.
Timing was too perfect.
I'd just posted my no-stream notice, and boom—right after, he checks his phone and says that?
Coincidence?
I had to ask who. He dodged on purpose.
That sealed it.
"A-an adult streamer?"
He froze, swallowed hard, then nodded.
Suspicion hardened into certainty. And with it... excitement bubbled up.
My dirty little secret, on the verge of exposure. And it felt good.
Honestly.
I was turned on.
One last question burned in me.
"Who do you watch?"
"Am-Amber."
Ah—
That name alone had my thighs clenching.
Breath came short. Heat flushed through me.
He'd forgotten me... only to chase after Amber—my secret camgirl alias.
Sorry tugged at me. But pride swelled too.
From that moment, Seong-han and I shared a secret.
