Chapter Title: Acting in Front of a Ten Million Actress
-----------------------------------------------------------------
To seduce Lee Soo-ah, the most crucial element was Im Hyeji's cooperation.
Obviously, if I went to Lee Soo-ah and said, "I'm this kind of guy—want to have sex with me and get pregnant?", she'd hardly respond with, "Wow, really? Want to fill up my pussy nice and full?"
She'd just quietly call the cops.
I might not know much about the lives of celebrities, but I'd seen enough of the trash-infested gallery to know all about the sleazy DMs that famous streamers and female idols get.
Just look at Im Hyeji—her inbox was probably overflowing with messages from creeps like Lee Geun-ho.
Sending dick pics outright was tame compared to the nonstop sexual harassment and cringy pickup lines.
There might not be many real psychos who'd pull that crap right to someone's face, but she'd probably think I was one of them and report me.
But if Im Hyeji was involved? That changes everything.
Im Hyeji was the real deal.
Additional awakening—supposedly even harder than regular awakening.
And she'd gone through an SSS-grade skill awakening, officially verified by the Hunter Association.
Of course, everyone knew that was 100% luck, just like regular awakening. But what if the person involved claimed it wasn't luck?
What if it got out that she'd achieved skill awakening with someone's help? What would Lee Soo-ah think then?
That's the scenario I built around.
The key was getting Im Hyeji on board.
I knew she was anxious and jealous, but I said it confidently anyway.
"...So, you need to impregnate Soo-ah unnie, right?"
"Exactly. That's how I grow, and the effects of my semen improve too."
I'd never explained my abilities to Im Hyeji in detail.
At most, I'd told her I could impregnate skills and that feeding them semen steadily levels them up.
The side effects—like my skin improving every time I paid P to acquire an ability—I'd framed as just gains from consistent sex and powering up my own abilities.
This fit right into that narrative.
"Mana SS-grade. Impregnating Lee Soo-ah might make it possible."
"..."
No need to appeal to her emotions.
From her perspective, there was zero reason to help.
SSS-grade hunters get all the perks for a bunch of reasons, but the biggest is that the total number of SSS-grade abilities or skills worldwide doesn't even hit 300.
Korea's got eight.
That rarity under ten makes SSS-grades shine even brighter—but what happens if the numbers start climbing?
Current S-grades become the new SS-grades, SS-grades slide into SSS territory.
No need to look that far ahead. Even Im Hyeji, who gets semen whenever she has time, struggles to hit level 5. Add another competitor, and her doses drop? She'd worry about that too, naturally.
So instead of pleading my case, it was faster to tempt her with what she'd gain.
In that sense, the level 2 Mana Sperm I'd cut off earlier seemed more appealing than I'd thought.
"...For real?"
"Yeah, but long story—I'll explain when we get home. There's a quest like thing. Fully impregnate her, level up the skill, and the reward should make it possible."
This wasn't normal couple talk, but Im Hyeji and I weren't a normal couple, so it worked.
She pondered long and hard.
Was it guilt over putting Lee Soo-ah through what she'd been through, beyond just losing me to her?
I addressed that head-on.
"I never forced you, and obviously, Soo-ah would only do it if she wanted to. I don't have the power to force her."
"True."
"..."
By evening, my awkward scenario was set, and Im Hyeji played her part flawlessly.
Ten million actress.
She'd drawn ten million viewers domestically with three films alone, and she'd smashed it in Hollywood too—enough blockbusters that "actress" fit her perfectly now.
Acting in front of her made me nervous as hell.
But since we were dropping real backstory like casual slips instead of pure acting, it didn't feel too forced.
The booze-fueled hints at the drinking party landed perfectly.
Next came the action.
About five minutes after she lay on the mattress, tipsy and drifting off, I got up from my corner spot and headed to the bathroom.
"Hyeji."
I whispered to Im Hyeji, dozing next to Lee Soo-ah. She stirred slightly.
A quick glance.
Lee Soo-ah was out cold.
Even bare-faced, she was stunning.
But I ignored it and kept walking to the bathroom.
Im Hyeji followed.
"Oppa, sorry..."
"Didn't I say not to tell anyone?"
The eight-person barracks had perfect soundproofing magic—no noise leaked out.
That applied to the single bathroom stall and shower booth too.
In a cramped barracks with facilities right there, leaks would be awkward as hell.
Showers could wake people with water noise too.
So no leaks—but with the door cracked just a sliver, sound would trickle out.
"Suck."
"...Y-yes..."
Sitting on the toilet, pants down, we kicked off the B-grade scenario.
@
"Hyeji..."
She jolted.
Lee Soo-ah, half in a doze, snapped awake at the deep male voice nearby.
A stranger's voice cutting through her unguarded sleep would've woken anyone.
But she didn't stir.
Her mind cleared enough to recognize it as Im Hyeji's porter, and that he wanted her, not Lee Soo-ah.
Feeling eyes on her, she amped up the sleeping act.
Acting was her job, and faking sleep was the easiest—no way she'd get caught.
The porter, Kang Jik, called Im Hyeji to the bathroom. She got up, glanced her way, then followed.
Crack an eye open.
Dark barracks. A thin strip of bathroom light leaked out.
'What's that about?'
A man and woman heading to the bathroom in the dead of night?
One thing came to mind, but it was hard to believe.
SS-grade hunter Im Hyeji and porter Kang Jik.
Perfectly innocent on the surface—questioning it would be an insult to her.
She knew judging by looks was wrong, but having thrived in the looks-obsessed entertainment world, she felt it even more.
So their chummy chats? "Friend's oppa" explained it all.
Lee Soo-ah had casually touchy guy friends too.
That's why this hit so hard.
'Even with me here...'
Meeting like that in the bathroom because of her? Her face burned.
She'd come for an experience, but this? Shame flooded in.
Should she call it out?
But an SS-grade's privacy?
Her head spun amid the quiet tent, their voices seeping out with the light through the tiny door gap.
"Didn't I say not to tell?"
"Sorry, oppa."
"Suck."
How does a conversation even flow like that?
The man's tone alone screamed alpha over beta.
Then the slurping started.
Slurp. Slurp.
"..."
Even virgin Lee Soo-ah knew what that sound was.
They're really doing it?
Here?
She'd heard the tent was soundproof, but bathroom noises carry, you idiots!!
She wanted to yell, but couldn't.
World star or not, in a dungeon, she was just a normal civilian.
If she yelled and pissed them off in this perfectly sealed tent, who knows what that guy might do.
The porter sleeping in the same tent felt safe only because Im Hyeji was there.
Some barrier, right? What could go wrong?
But if Im Hyeji was that involved with him? Safety out the window.
Pretend not to know.
Fake sleep.
But she couldn't sleep.
Tension gripped her—should she sneak out?
Every thought raced.
Then Im Hyeji's words, mid-suck, started chipping away at them.
"Oppa, but can Soo-ah unnie awaken like me too? Slurp."
"No idea. Never tried on someone who hasn't awakened. But would it work? She's living fine without being a hunter—no desperation like you had."
"Mm... true. Sluuuurp. Slurp."
"Speaking of, you've been pretty desperate lately, huh? Knocked up a worthless S-grade healer bitch, gave her an SSS skill, and now you're bragging everywhere. Without me, she'd have burned out completely, right?"
Mmph mmph mmph. "N-no... mmph. That was just... because it's Soo-ah unnie..."
The conversation and sounds were blatant enough to redden her face, but doubts crept in.
'She can... cause awakenings?'
"Cumming. Swallow every drop. If you want other skills pregnant too."
"Mmph. Yesss... cum lots..."
But the doubt didn't last.
Finishing sounds followed. Kang Jik came out first, lay back down.
Im Hyeji emerged soon after, wiped her wet lips, checked her, then lay beside and slept.
Lee Soo-ah lay confused, sleepless.
