## Chapter 13 – 02. Emilia
+++
“Heh, heh, heh. Emilia… that stuck-up bitch….”
Kim Dong-gi chuckled to himself, a sinister glint in his eyes. Usually, his dull and foolish demeanor frustrated those around him, but at this moment, his face evoked disgust rather than exasperation.
After all, the opportunity he thought would never come, or if it did, would be impossible to seize, was right before his eyes.
And so easily within reach.
“Al-always, picking on me…! We were, were in the same class, same grade…! Same age, too!”
He snickered as he gathered the necessary items for the van. Passersby, catching his expression, recoiled in surprise and quickly moved away.
“Fucking bitch. Don’t, don’t think you can, can stay all high and mighty forever.”
Their connection began with him being her errand boy.
Kang Emilia was famous in school for her wealthy family and beauty. And she had a terrible personality.
She didn’t bother hiding it, ruling the school like a queen and treating students like her personal servants. Kim Dong-gi was the lowest of the low.
Naturally, he suffered a lot of bullying, and with it, a lot of pent-up resentment.
For some reason, she had scouted him after taking over the family business, even placing him in the high position of general manager, but that didn’t erase the past.
“It’s, it’s not just resentment… I… I love you, Emilia. A, a love that transcends resentment.”
He reminisced about their school days, about her superiority, nobility, and haughtiness, and lost himself in fantasy.
She was still beautiful now, but he didn’t think she was as beautiful as she had been then.
“Y-you too… will eventually…!”
His fantasy escalated rapidly. But just before reaching its climax, it was interrupted by an outside disturbance.
“General Manager, I’ve brought them.”
A female employee brought the four trainees Gomu-yeol had recruited (essentially purchased) and two bodyguards. He hid his disappointment and gave a foolish smile.
“Ah, ah. Th-thank you.”
“I’ve made the arrangements, so you can leave right away.”
He nodded and looked at the trainees.
They had showered and changed into new clothes, but none of them looked happy. They knew the industry and what it meant to be sold to a man.
Especially to the infamous Gomu-yeol. The outcome was all too predictable.
Dong-gi suddenly felt sorry for them, but he quickly dismissed the thought. Emilia was what mattered to him now, not them.
“Well, it’s, it’s a long drive… so, have something to drink…”
“…Thank you.”
“B-bodyguards, you too, have some.”
“Ah. Thank you.”
The trainees, all with dead eyes, took the drinks Dong-gi offered and boarded the van. The bodyguards did the same.

– Someone wrote this song before~ And I could tell you where it’s from~
“The 4736251 to put my mind at ease~”
Kim Dong-gi hummed along to the song on the radio, enjoying the scenery outside.
He loved this song. Perhaps it was the dreamy melody that evoked memories of first love, but whenever he heard it, he vividly remembered Emilia from their school days.
Her long hair, falling like silk.
Her piercing gaze and haughtily upturned nose.
The blouse that barely contained her breasts, stretched taut.
The fluttering skirt of her school uniform, like the wings of a butterfly in the breeze.
Whenever her beautiful face turned towards him, he felt a thrill run through his body. Even if her hands or feet struck him, his heart always yearned for her.
“Ah… Emilia… my… Emilia…”
The Emilia from his past appeared in his fantasy. It was heavily influenced by Kim Dong-gi’s desires and tastes, bearing little resemblance to the real Emilia, but he was satisfied.
In his fantasy, Emilia was haughty yet kind, and she only had eyes for him.
And…
She would do anything he wanted…
“Hah, hah…”
He snapped back to reality to find himself splattering semen on his rough palm. Even though he was half-crazy, he was still aware that masturbating in front of others was shameful. He quickly looked around.
“….”
“….”
The van was silent. Only the muffled sounds from outside and the soft breathing of the occupants filled the air.
“Hoo…”
The four trainees who were supposed to be delivered to Gomu-yeol and the two bodyguards who came along as escorts were all sound asleep, thanks to the sleeping pills Dong-gi had given them.
– Brrr.
His phone vibrated. It was a call from Emilia.
“S-she’s calling because I, I disappeared.”
He wiped the semen on his pants and answered the phone.
“Hello-,”
– YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!!
As expected, a shout that nearly shattered the phone erupted.
Emilia usually had a rather low voice for a woman, but when she screamed like this, it rang shrilly.
– What the hell are you doing right now, huh??!! I can’t even reach you.
He exited the call screen to check and saw 17 missed calls. Five were from company employees, and 12 were from Emilia.
– Did something happen? You have to say something!! So I can deal with it-,
“E-Emilia.”
– What? Emilia?
“Li-listen to me… I, I have something to, to say.”
Emilia sensed something was off.
– Is this guy crazy? Hey, what are you doing?
His tone was still pathetic, but there was something different about him. The guy who always addressed her respectfully as “President” was now calling her “Emilia” and speaking informally.
This bastard was definitely up to something.
– You pathetic loser. Did you suddenly get ideas because you’re a guy hanging around young girls?
“Hnn, hngh…!”
Yes.
This was it.
He missed this feeling.
The unrestrained and vulgar language, the voice that seemed to claw at his heart.
He clutched his chest, which was growing hot.
– You want to live like Gomu-yeol, waving your dick around? Wake up, you idiot. Don’t get any stupid ideas and deliver them properly. You didn’t touch the girls, did you?
“H-how about a, a deal…?”
– Bullshit.
“O-one trainee for, for one picture. How about it?”
– What?
Kim Dong-gi took pictures of the sleeping trainees and bodyguards and sent them.
“F-four… so, four pictures.”
– What are you talking about? Ah, I don’t have time for this!! Do you really want to die?
“No, no panties… just the school uniform… four pictures. The poses-,”
Haa…
A sigh came through the phone. The sound triggered old memories, and Kim Dong-gi flinched like Pavlov’s dog.
– Hey, fuck off. I’ll just refund the money and end it, so you do whatever you want with the trainees. Use them as sex toys or piss on them, because I’m going to find you and kill you within 12 hours. Go ahead and coat your dick with semen as much as you want before then.
Emilia hung up.
It was the reaction he expected. The queen wouldn’t agree to a deal so easily.
Kim Dong-gi sent a text message.
[Check the contract carefully.]
Then he turned off his phone. If he went silent for a few hours, she would be burning with anxiety.

“That… that fucking bastard…!!”
Emilia, feeling as if she’d been hit over the head, barely managed to suppress the rage that was boiling up inside her. It had risen all the way to her throat, but she took a deep breath, calmed herself, and carefully placed the contract down.
“…President.”
Her female secretary looked at her with concern. Her face was etched with worry and bewilderment.
“This is invalid, right? There’s no way this is enforceable. That moron… that idiot just added this on his own, right?”
After receiving Dong-gi’s text, she had checked the contract and found an absurd clause had been inserted. It stated that if the second party (Rainbow Miracle) failed to deliver the trainees to the first party (Koryo Entertainment, Gomu-yeol), they would have to pay 100 times the transaction amount in damages.
The amount received in exchange for the five trainees was 2.5 billion won, so 100 times that would be a whopping 250 billion won. Even with her wealthy family, she couldn’t afford that.
“I confirmed that there was no such clause when I checked it myself!”
“…Yes. I confirmed that as well. He probably used a method where the letters appear over time. Legally, that clause is invalid, and the contract is automatically void… but.”
“….”
“Given who we’re dealing with… it depends on how they react.”
Emilia ran her hands through her hair.
As her secretary said, the contract was obviously invalid. But what if the other party was Koryo Group? What if they tried to enforce the contract by force?
‘That bastard has nothing to lose from this contract. If he denies it, I’m the only one who gets complicated and embarrassed.’
Gomu-yeol was the kind of guy who would do that. At least, according to the rumors. He might even demand her body as leverage.
‘He seemed a bit different from the rumors when I saw him earlier… but either way, this has become a shitty situation.’
She bit her lip until it bled, pondered for a long time, and finally picked up her phone.
