Back in his room, the city lights casting fractured shadows across the floor, Min-Joon lay shirtless on his bed, the system screen floating inches above his face. He hadn't even washed off Yuna's lip gloss — it shimmered faintly along his jawline like a battle scar.
He could still taste her tongue. Still feel her hesitation melt into heat. But what stuck more was Soo-Ah's face: part rage, part shock, part naked curiosity. The system had called it jealousy. Min-Joon called it power. And power, he was beginning to realize, tasted better than any kiss.
He tapped the screen.

He leaned back, stretching his arms above his head.A single thought crossed his mind.I want more.
The next morning, the gym was half-empty — the regulars too hungover or lazy to lift. Min-Joon liked it better that way. He wasn't here to impress anyone. Not yet. Not physically. He was sculpting something. Building the temple they'd all one day worship. But that didn't mean he went unnoticed.
By the squat racks stood a tall girl with a high ponytail, shoulders sharp as knife blades, thighs like carved stone. Her name was Jae-Eun. Senior. Exercise science major. Known for ignoring everyone and bench pressing more than half the male athletes. Today, her tank top clung like shrink-wrap to her figure.She caught him watching.He didn't look away.
"You lost, freshman?" she asked, one brow arched.
He approached with a towel slung lazily over his shoulder. "Nah. I was just trying to figure out if I was watching a goddess or a gladiator."
She blinked.Then smiled. Sharp. "Try harder."
"I could," he said, circling her like a predator. "But I'd rather spot you. If your pride can handle the proximity."
Jae-Eun studied him. "You're cocky."
Min-Joon's smirk spread slowly. "I'm not cocky. I'm just aware of the effect I have on dangerous women."
She rolled her eyes but handed him the barbell. He spotted her through three brutal sets. On the last rep, her breathing shallow and her grip slick, their eyes met. He didn't say a word. Just held the weight. Held the gaze.
Afterward, she stood, sweat glistening along her collarbone. "You've got nerve."
He leaned in, voice low. "You've got shoulders I want to bite."
She laughed.But she didn't walk away.
✅ Target Acquired: Jae-Eun – Interest Level 42%
Later that evening, Min-Joon headed to the rooftop lounge above the media building. It wasn't elite, but it had the right vibe — indie music, string lights, people who thought they were cooler than they were. Perfect for seduction.He wore a half-buttoned shirt, loose and careless. His smile did the heavy lifting.
Near the railing stood a girl with short, choppy hair dyed lavender, nose ring, boots with more buckles than purpose. Her name was Dani. Literature major. Known for dating toxic poets and making them cry.He ordered two drinks.
Walked straight to her.
"I heard you only date men who make you hate yourself," he said.Dani blinked.He handed her the drink.
"I'm here to change that. Or make it worse. Either way, you'll write about me."
She tilted her head. "What makes you think you're worth the metaphor?"
Min-Joon sipped his drink. "Because metaphors are just foreplay for obsession."Her lips parted then curved.
✅ Target Acquired: Dani – Interest Level 55%
Hours later, back in his room, shirt gone again, he lay sprawled with a satisfied sigh as the system screen flickered.
[Current Target Count: 5/10]

A notification popped up.

Min-Joon sat up. His phone buzzed.
Yuna: "You home?"
Yuna: "I shouldn't but… I keep thinking about that kiss."
Yuna: "Can I come up? Just to talk."
He smiled.Typed one word back."Door's open."
Minutes later, she stepped in, hoodie covering a crop top, legs bare, eyes glassy with conflict and curiosity.
"I just… I don't usually do this," she said.
"You say that," Min-Joon replied, stepping close, "but you keep doing it."
She didn't move.He brushed hair off her cheek.She exhaled — soft, nervous.Then he kissed her.This wasn't like the rooftop.This was slower.Deeper.More dangerous.His hands ran along her waist.Hers clutched his shoulders.
Her lips trembled against his — then opened.
Clothes peeled like secrets.The room went silent except for breath and skin and the soft gasp when she realized she didn't want to stop.
✅ BONUS COMPLETED: First Physical Encounter
💰 Reward Unlocked: Seduction Tree (Advanced) + 1 Gold Token
Afterward, she lay on his chest, not speaking.The system screen floated overhead.Min-Joon stared at it while brushing his fingers through Yuna's hair.
"System," he whispered, "show me the next ten."
It flickered.
Ten names.
Ten faces.
Ten new stories.
Min-Joon smiled.Not because he wanted them all.But because he knew now…He could have them all.
