Chapter Title: Catching Up on Backlogged Childcare
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"That was so much fun!"
"Right? I wanna come again."
The concert wrapped up, and Kang Hana and Im Hyeji were still riding high on the thrill, savoring the afterglow.
"It was fun."
I tossed in my own brief review.
It really had been.
The performance itself was great—the songs were so catchy that I could finally understand why fans went crazy for these shows.
Not to mention the sex with Lee Soo-ah midway through had been way more intense.
Of course, I wondered if I could pull it off again.
The time with Hana in the living room had that edge of anxiety from worrying Mom and Dad might wake up, but no real pressure to finish quick. Today, though, the ticking clock had cranked the tension way up.
I'd fantasized about sneaking an idol mid-big-stage performance into a dressing room for some hot action, but in reality, it felt more like rushing through a sex session to fit a tight schedule.
Since it wasn't some spontaneous pounce, it hadn't quite lived up to the fantasy.
Still, Su-a was stunning, and seeing her in a side she'd never shown before brought its own rush of excitement and pleasure.
Anyway, in the heat of it all, I'd gotten impulsive, but Su-a hadn't said a word about it. In fact, her parting shots had felt like they were aimed right at me, which was oddly reassuring.
Or... was "reassuring" the right word?
"But what was up with unnie's last words? No way she meant... oppa?"
"Nah, no chance. Why would Su-a even..."
"...What do you mean 'why'? It could happen."
With all the focus on hunter awakenings lately, I figured it'd blow over without much fuss.
On the way home...
A quick search of the Hunter Gallery, and sure enough, the rumors had spread like wildfire.
With 50,000 people in the audience, it would've been weirder if word hadn't gotten out.

Don't know the ability or skills yet, but she awakened at the end of the 11th anniversary concert and showed it off lol. Looked like fire element? Pretty high rank I think?

Hunter now? She retiring?

Jealous. They say the haves just keep winning. Now she's gunning for hunter too?
— Anonymous
Can she just use skills outside like that?
— Anonymous
Probably got permission.
Lee Su-a was already a gallery favorite—celebs tagging along on dungeon runs to awaken were prime galju bait here.
In a place crawling with beasts who lost their minds over pretty hunters, this reaction was par for the course.
Now that she'd actually awakened, the spotlight was inevitable.

She's dating lol. Publicly confessed to her benefactor. Didn't name him, but obvious who. Announcing it now—maybe marriage?

Marriage? Lol she's not that old.

Just a video message to the guy who saved her a few years back, timed with her awakening.
— Anonymous
That said, it felt kinda off lol. I heard it too, like huh? Felt like one of those secret idol signals.
— Anonymous
Whoever the guy is, jealous. Idol maybe?
— Anonymous
At her age? Probably an actor.
The bait took off faster than expected.
Idol fans were always the most obsessed with dating rumors.
Even if she wasn't active now, Su-a had a huge fanbase from her idol days, so it made sense.
I was deep into one of those concept threads when a DM popped up.
[2_SuA: (photo) 😡😡]
[GangJik: Mosquito bite?]
She'd snapped a pic of her neck—choker off, angry red marks glaring—and I played dumb.
[2_SuA: Come over to my place^^]
Guess... I had to go?
Not worried or scared or anything.
It might've been tougher on her than I thought, since things hadn't gone quite as planned for me either.
I'd apologize, soothe her, make sure her feelings weren't hurt.
Our thing wasn't some master-servant deal where she just did whatever I said.
Late night, I slipped into Su-a's place, watching for prying eyes.
Door opens, and I step in gauging her mood.
She was an SSS-rank top-tier hunter now—fists or fireballs flying wouldn't shock me.
She'd played it cool during the show for the stage, but now she might vent.
What hit me wasn't fire, though—it was Su-a.
"Thank you."
"...Huh?"
Makeup still on, skin and face glowing brighter than in the dressing room, she hugged me tight.
"So many people congratulated me. I didn't even mention my ability or skills... The concert was a total success. It's a day I'll never forget."
"...That's 'cause you nailed it."
"It's all thanks to you, Jik. My singing today, my looks, the awakening—they're all from you and our baby."
"..."
She looks up with a beaming smile, pure and beautiful.
The words coming from that innocent grin didn't quite match, though.
Hard to argue since she wasn't wrong.
Framing it like that made me—the guy who'd paid for a celeb pregnancy one-off, botched the pickup, and half-assed it—feel guilty.
I fiddled with the kiss mark on her neck to change the subject.
"...This didn't get spotted?"
"Oh, this? Stylist noticed. Others probably didn't. Some suspected 'cause I wore the choker till the end... But I'm off-duty awhile, so it'll be fine. If it leaks, oh well."
"..."
Honestly, I was bracing for it too.
Not like we were really dating or anything.
But keep tangling with Su-a, and it'd go public eventually.
Since she wasn't sweating it, I decided not to overreact either.
Above all, no complaints about the venue sex was a relief.
"Why'd you call me over?"
Worry eased, curiosity kicked in.
Concert prep was done.
Awakening announced—time to kick back, right?
Such an innocent question, and Su-a flushed, stumbling over her words.
"...It's, it's backlogged."
"...What is?"
A beat. She swallows, hesitates, then spills.
"Childcare! Childcare!"
"...Ah."
Then it hit me—the untouched makeup, flashy hair, lacy dress-stage outfit.
The elegant getup from her signature ballad finale.
I'd been too focused on her hug to notice, but she'd stayed dressed like this on purpose.
"Gotta level up quick, but I've slacked too long."
Her coming on strong like that? Only a coward would hold back.
Not that I'd planned to.
I wrapped her waist, spun her around in a back hug, and headed to the living room window.
City nightscape reflected in the glass, our hazy silhouettes between.
Not a clear mirror, but Su-a still looked gorgeous.
"You like it earlier?"
I asked casually.
The sex itself rocked, but I'd just gone with the flow instead of setting the scene—left me a bit unsatisfied. How'd she take it?
It was a first in our hookups.
Always me initiating—contract excuse, morning sickness fix, my scenarios. This was just variables thrown in, kinda sloppy.
Hell, I was even thinking it'd have been hotter to sneak in mid-show without asking.
"Who'd enjoy doing it in that situation?"
Su-a's objective take.
She'd sensed my regret?
She smiled, caressing my cheek.
"Honestly, you were off too. Looking around all nervous. Felt awkward?"
"...Was it?"
"It was good, but you didn't seem like usual. Not very you."
"..."
"Still loved it. That spot... it swelled more and more. Nearly screamed."
Her candid feedback melted my worries, confidence surging back.
That surge poked at her pussy under the lifted dress hem.
Her soft hand covered mine sneaking in, whispering.
"And I saw Hyeji's video... I'm in your favorite stage outfit and makeup, no rush tonight. Catch up on all that backlogged childcare..."
No tremble this time—her sly upturned lips pure temptress.
Hearing that wiped away concert regrets, exposure fears, all our messy ties.
Don't overthink.
Basement-dwelling virgin steps into the world, suddenly too in his head.
Stick to basics: fuck pretty girls, knock 'em up.
That's my power, my job.
Tuck the feedback away, improve next time.
My dick was still upgraded.
Su-a was thrilled with her maxed 'Semen is a Cure-All' level 6 plus A-rank mana stone gift.
She caught my quickening breath, grabbed my hand, pressed it to her lower belly.
"The flames... and embers miss Daddy lots."
