Chapter 950 – I’m Not a Spawn Anymore? (2)
“What.?”
As soon as he heard the message notification, Eunseol Lee stopped stretching and checked his cell phone, muttering with a little regret.
[〈 Eunseol. Do you have time?]
It was quite late, so I was excited to think that I might have received a call from Choi Min-seok. The steam has completely disappeared.
However, regardless of those feelings, it is strange that the person I contacted was Choi Seol-ah.
We know each other by face, and we’ve talked a few times, but we haven’t been in personal contact like this.
Although they had enjoyed 3P on the same bed once before, it was not because they were good friends, but because they both had Choi Min-seok as their spawn partner.
“. I can’t reply.”
To be honest, I felt uncomfortable because I was contacted first by someone I implicitly considered a competitor, but since I had already checked the message, I couldn’t ignore it and pretend I didn’t see it.
[〉 It’s okay. What’s going on?]
Still, for now, I reply calmly.
It is true that Choi Seol-ah is an unpleasant opponent in many ways, but that was just Lee Eun-seol’s personal feelings, so she couldn’t be angry with her without any reason.
[〈 I want to ask you something. Could we possibly meet in person and talk?]
“Let’s meet in person.?”
If it’s a simple question, it would be okay to end it with a message or phone call. Does she really need to talk to her face to face?
This is most likely about Choi Min-seok.
There were no clues to make this guess, but the woman’s intuition led her to that conclusion.
‘What should I do?’
She may only be thinking this, but she and Seol-ah Choi are competing for a spawn named Min-seok Choi.
Who will be able to satisfy him more, and who will be able to win his favor by appealing to his charm? A competition where a woman’s value and self-esteem are at stake. Lee Eun-seol thinks so.
Recently, as she became his dog, her competitive spirit almost disappeared, but that was only because she thought she had beaten Choi Seol-ah.
He was more confident in the frequency of their meetings, and he never revealed his preferences to Seol-ah Choi, such as not stroking her head or tickling her chin, or treating her like a dog and keeping her on a leash.
Rather than Choi Seol-ah, he thought that he was fully accepting his tastes and giving him greater satisfaction.
‘Let me hear what you’re talking about.’
Thinking like that, my awkward feelings subsided, and I became more relaxed, so I replied with a secret smile.
[〉 It’s okay, though. When?]
[〈 I’m okay even now. I’ll stick to Eunseol’s schedule.]
“Hmm.”
It’s okay even now.
Aside from the fact that he suddenly contacted me after 9 PM, he seems to be in a hurry.
‘. I guess it’ll be okay since I don’t have any plans for tomorrow.’
As her income had clearly improved compared to before, Lee Eun-seol made sure to set aside two days a week to enjoy leisure time.
She enjoys leisure and luxury, such as Omakase or a staycation to become a star, or healing by going to an esthetician to get treatment, or just resting at home without doing anything.
Of course, she often met Choi Min-seok during holidays.
She hasn’t contacted me again recently to find out what’s going on, but I guess she’s just busy with work and is just passing it on.
Anyway, if I sent a message first, replies came regularly.
[〉Then see you now. Where can I see it?]
[〈 Is it okay if I drink alcohol?]
“Suddenly it’s alcohol again.”
[〉It’s okay.]
She grumbled a little but replied that it was okay because she didn’t really enjoy drinking because she was taking care of her skin and body.
Anyway, if it was just a few drinks, it wouldn’t be a problem.
If the person who asked her out for a drink was a man, she would have flatly refused, but if she was with other women, there was nothing she couldn’t do.
[〈Then I will send you the address, so please come here.]
After a while I replied that it was okay. She sent it with an address from Choi Seol-ah.
The place is an izakaya not far from my house. It seemed like he really wanted to talk quietly, so it was a room-type store where he wouldn’t be noticed by others.
Since it was already past time to eat, I would have chosen a bar rather than a restaurant.
“. I just took a shower.”
When she thought about leaving, she remembered that she had just gotten out of the shower and was stretching, but she couldn’t say she wasn’t going now.
In the end, I got up with a short sigh and started getting ready to go out.
Fortunately, it was not far from my house.
* * *
“Ah, Eunseol.”
“. It’s been a while.”
Eunseol Lee lightly greeted Seolah Choi, who was waiting in the room, and sat across from the table.
‘. It’s pretty.’
Although I am prettier.
She nodded her head inwardly as she looked at Choi Seol-ah, who was dressed in thin yet minimally revealing clothes like herself.
In fact, both of them were easily passing the standard of being pretty, and if we had to judge superiority or inferiority, it would depend on the taste of the person choosing, but Lee Eun-seol was confident in herself.
On the other hand, Choi Seol-ah also had similar thoughts as Lee Eun-seol.
‘. As expected, it’s pretty.’
It’s not that I’m not confident in my own appearance, but I couldn’t just think that I was prettier because my partner was Lee Eun-seol.
If she were in Choi Min-seok’s position, she wouldn’t feel much regret even if her relationship ended because she still had a beauty like Lee Eun-seol.
While the two people were looking at each other’s appearances and evaluating each other, alcohol and snacks arrived, and Choi Seol-ah was the first to pour alcohol into a glass and move it in front of Lee Eun-seol.
Then, he poured alcohol into her own glass, passed it down her throat, and filled the glass again.
Lee Eun-seol also emptied his glass without saying a word and slammed it down on the table.
“So, what did you call me for?”
“Well… I want to ask you something about Minseok.”
As expected. I nodded internally to the answer I was already expecting, but maintained a calm demeanor on the outside.
“Is it about Minseok?”
“I don’t think it’s something I would bring up to other people.”
“Yes, of course.”
Lee Eun-seol also nodded slightly in agreement at the words he spoke with a little hesitation.
It’s not like there aren’t people who confidently say things like meeting Jin-sang in the office or being annoyed by their sponsors while working as models.
However, modeling is just a job to show off to others, and it is a story about lower-class people who save money to open a nail salon or a personal shopping mall.
If you are serious about success as a model like Choi Seol or Lee Eun-seol, even if you do such a job, you have to keep it a strict secret.
It’s a slightly different story, but it’s common to hear stories about popular celebrities losing their popularity or being buried due to school violence controversies or dating rumors.
“So, I want to hear something from Eunseol.”
“What do you want to hear?”
To be honest, there is no reason to satisfy one’s curiosity while competing for one man.
However, Lee Eun-seol also couldn’t tell anyone about her relationship with Choi Min-seok, and at the same time, she had a lot of feelings built up without knowing it.
What is it that makes Choi Seol-ah so worried that she came to see her?
She couldn’t help but be curious.
“I’m just… I’m curious about how you and Minseok usually get along.”
“Isn’t the scope too wide?”
“Oh, I’m sorry. So… What do you do when you meet and go on a date…? Something like that.”
“Well, it’s nothing.”
There is nothing that cannot be answered if it is a question of this magnitude. Thinking like that, Lee Eun-seol gathered her thoughts for a moment and continued.
“Like everyone else, watch a movie, go shopping, eat, go for a quick drive, and then… You know?”
“. I know.”
When she interrupted her speech slightly meaningfully, Seol-ah Choi blushed and nodded her head as if embarrassed.
However, looking at their expressions, it seemed like the date itself wasn’t any different.
“Do you meet each other often?”
“We just meet once or twice a week.”
Of course, there are times when I can’t see her all week, but she answered that with a bit of bravado.
“Ah.”
‘I won this one.’
I muttered happily to myself at Choi Seol-ah’s slightly disappointed reaction.
Once or twice a week may not seem like a lot, but it was a number of times that an adult couple with work could say they often met.
On the other hand, Choi Seol-ah once a week. She knew that we met once every fifteen days, so even though she tried to remain calm, she couldn’t help but raise the corners of her mouth.
However, there was a crucial difference between the two.
“Then, by any chance, did Seol-ah contact you first?”
“That’s…”
I am doing it.
When she has something to film, she of course sends pictures, and if she thinks it’s okay to wear ordinary going out clothes, she also sends pictures.
This is not the first time that I have purchased a cosplay costume and sent a picture to entice her.
When we couldn’t meet for a long time, there were many cases where he would send us photos and secretly ask if we were busy these days.
“I just do it when I think of it occasionally. I don’t think Seol-ah will contact me first?”
“Yes. I’m also sending pictures I took while I was at work. It seems a bit tactful for me to contact him first to ask to meet him.”
In the end, it meant that we contacted him less frequently than Lee Eun-seol, and that she never even hinted that she wanted to meet him.
That fact secretly hurt my pride.
“I’m just contacting you. There’s nothing to notice.”
“. Right?”
Because of her pride, she was confident and ostentatious, but seeing her look a little relieved made her feel frustrated.
Because it meant that Choi Seol-ah, who until now had only made necessary contacts, would take more active action.
“Could you please tell me how to contact you?”
“What is that.”
I can’t tell you.
Even though she contacted Choi Seol-ah more often, she mostly sent photos of herself, and she even sent photos of herself in explicit cosplay costumes to lure him.
No matter how much we knew each other’s circumstances, our pride was too hurt to reveal such things.
However, saying that it was a lie to say that we contacted each other often was also hurtful to our pride.
“There’s nothing special for me either. When I go out, if I feel like my clothes look good, I send them a picture, ask if they’ve eaten or if anything bad happened today, and tell them to sleep well at night.”
Of course, everything is a lie other than taking pictures and sending them.
I don’t think our relationship is at a level where we can’t do something like that, but she never tried it because she didn’t want to think that she was impatient and took the lead.
However, Choi Seol-ah’s eyes burning with enthusiasm were too burdensome for her to call it a lie.
In a frustrating situation where lies were begetting lies, Lee Eun-seol glanced at her empty glass and filled it with alcohol and poured it down her throat.
Choi Seol-ah wonders what on earth she is thinking. With a grateful expression on her face, she was filling her glass again.
