## Chapter 54 – My Childhood Friend Sent Me Nudes
“Huh? Huh? Ahem??”
I reread the message I’d received, scrutinizing every word.
Though there were only two lines.
[This is Se-in’s mother.
I’d like to meet and talk with you.]
At first, I thought it was spam.
Because it came to my Byeolstagram account.
Byeolstagram, the heart of the “inssa” culture, a plaza for meeting people.
But I’d only signed up and then left it untouched for ages. It was practically a dead account.
Why make an account I wouldn’t use?
Because I wanted to meet women, even if it was just there!
Before I met Jung Se-in, I’d joined Byeolstagram and poked around at girls who caught my eye. I wanted to meet a woman, even if it was just that way.
Of course, most girls blocked me after just seeing my profile picture.
Meeting women on Byeolstagram was just a pipe dream, after all. Realizing that, I quickly gave up on the whole social media thing.
The account had been abandoned ever since.
And now, someone claiming to be Se-in’s mother had sent me a message there.
So, naturally, I assumed it was spam. But…
“160,000 followers!”
It was real.
The absurd number of followers proved the account was genuine.
Se-in’s mother’s name was Do Hye-jung.
A former actress who had retired in her prime after getting married.
It had been a long time since she quit being a celebrity, and she barely used Byeolstagram. There were only a few recent photos. Still, her follower count rivaled that of active celebrities. Was it because her husband was a politician?
Se-in’s mother didn’t know my phone number. Naturally, she had no way to contact me through other social media either.
But Byeolstagram made it possible. You could search for a name and send a direct message. I had my face plastered on my profile picture, so she could easily find me with a simple search.
For the record, I had ten followers. Most of them were romance scam accounts, though.
I suddenly felt like crying.
“Hmm…”
But what should I do about this?
Jung Se-in’s mother wanted to meet me.
Considering what happened yesterday, it definitely wasn’t for a good reason.
Her mother told me not to see Se-in, and I refused.
Besides, I had sex with Jung Se-in at her house that day. Not only that, but I also had an orgy with her friends.
Things were getting out of hand, and Jung Se-in’s mother might try to eliminate me.
If I went out there just because she asked, there was no guarantee I wouldn’t be surrounded by gangsters and beaten with clubs, or stuffed in a drum, or something.
Then… I should tell her, right? Jung Se-in, the source of all this.
I called Jung Se-in first.
But as expected, she didn’t answer.
Instead, I got a text after the signal cut off.
[What is it? Can’t answer the phone right now.]
Hmm. It’s important.
I decided to tell her what was going on, even if it was just through text.
[Your mother sent me a DM, saying she wants to meet and talk.]
[To you? Why?]
[I don’t know. Probably to scold me?]
I first explained what happened yesterday.
How I ran into her mother when I went to visit. What her mother said to me there.
And how I was wrongly accused and resented.
[I got blamed because of you!]
[You are a bad guy. What are you pretending for?]
Is that so? Was it my fault?
Actually, I’m the one who benefited the most.
What is it? Was I the real culprit?
[Hmm.]
[Still, it’s a good opportunity.]
[Meet her and bang her.]
[Don’t forget to take pictures.]
[Are you crazy?]
[I don’t want to get arrested.]
[You won’t get arrested.]
[Plan it out well.]
[That woman is that kind of woman.]
[If you give her a little leeway, she’ll fall for it.]
[Hey, hey. Are you serious?]
[Of course, I’m serious.]
[No joke?]
[I’m not joking.]
[Even if you do it, you won’t get caught. I’ll take responsibility.]
[Just do it. You’re usually good at that, right?]
[Don’t worry about what happens after. Nothing will happen.]
Huh? Really? Seriously?
It didn’t seem like she was joking.
Actually, this wasn’t the first time I’d heard this story.
But when I heard it before, I thought of it as someone else’s problem.
Since I wasn’t going to do anything about it right away. Even if it turned out that way, it would be a long time in the future. So, I didn’t think about it much.
But now, Jung Se-in was seriously telling me to do it. To bang her stepmother.
It’s not a problem to commit a crime with a friend who’s committing a crime. I could gladly accept taking the blame and being punished, considering what she’s done for me.
But that’s only when there’s a good reason. I couldn’t just accept the words to bang a woman who had nothing to do with it without a good reason.
The enemy of my friend’s mother? That didn’t resonate with me either. I wasn’t sure if it was a misunderstanding or a mistake. At least to me, Se-in’s mother didn’t seem like a bad person. Any normal mother who was worried about her daughter would have acted that way.
[Hmm.]
I was worried. About what to do.
But I didn’t think I’d come up with the right answer even if I worried about it.
Normally, I could just follow what Jung Se-in, who was much smarter than me, said. If I just listened to what she said, I’d be having sex in my sleep.
Let’s talk a little more first.
[Still, banging her is a bit much.]
[If I get reported later, my life will be over.]
[Isn’t there a way to solve it more gently?]
[So, give her some leeway.]
[That woman will sleep with you if you give her a good enough reason.]
Hmm. No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand what she was saying.
She’ll sleep with me if I give her a good enough reason? Her mother didn’t seem like that kind of person.
If she was going to cheat, she could meet a much better man. She was a former celebrity, so she knew a lot of people like that.
But I couldn’t understand what Jung Se-in was saying, that I could easily do it with her mother.
[What kind of leeway should I give her?]
[That’s up to you.]
[Try to seduce her. Should I tell you everything?]
[Or maybe she’ll fall for you if you just take off your pants and show her your dick?]
[Oh, stop talking nonsense.]
[Whether you persuade her, threaten her, or make a deal.]
[Give her a reason to do it with you.]
[Then it will happen naturally.]
Hmm. Give her a reason to do it.
Actually, this is a secret, but I’m not very smart.
So, the only methods I can think of are not very smart.
First, let’s think about why her mother wants to meet me.
Her mother will probably tell me not to see her daughter. Her mother told me that yesterday, but I refused.
If we meet this time, she’ll probably say it more strongly than yesterday. Her mother might bring up threats, persuasion, or deals that Jung Se-in mentioned. In the worst case, there might be violence.
What did they do in the manga I used to read in situations like this?
[Your mother will probably tell me not to see you again.]
[Should I ask her to let me do it with her instead of you?]
The method that came to mind was a common development in erotic manga.
I said that because I thought even Jung Se-in would change her mind if she heard something so absurd.
[Oh! Juji King, are you a genius?]
[That’s a perfect plan!]
…This kid?
Is she making fun of me?
[Hey, be serious.]
[I’m serious. If you say that, she’ll 100% fall for it.]
[Are you kidding me?]
[There’s no way such a clumsy plan would work.]
[Are you serious? If something goes wrong, I’ll go to jail!]
It was a stretch, even though I brought it up.
I don’t know how she could think that would work.
[Hmm.]
[Then let’s do this.]
[Threaten to spread my true identity on the internet if she doesn’t do it.]
[Hey. Are you really crazy?]
I felt a chill down my spine just hearing the story.
I don’t know, but Jung Se-in has a lot to lose. And she’s a woman. It wasn’t a normal thing for personal problems to spread. And the problem was never a small one.
[Why? I’m not really spreading it.]
[Still.]
[Oh, right.]
[I’ll take some pictures and send them to you.]
[You can say you’ll spread them.]
[Pictures? What pictures?]
And after a while.
A text came from Jung Se-in with a picture attached.
“Whoa!?”
I was surprised when I clicked on the picture.
The attached picture was a selfie of Jung Se-in with her chest exposed.
The place seemed to be somewhere on campus. And it was outdoors, judging by the dimness. University buildings could be seen in the background.
Jung Se-in raised her top and took a picture of her nipples and face together. The playful V-sign was a bonus.
[You crazy bitch.]
[Don’t take pictures like this.]
[What if something big happens later?]
[Oh, my.]
[Are you thinking about me now?]
[Of course, you idiot.]
[If I accidentally leak it, you and I will be screwed.]
[Don’t you know that pictures can be recovered with forensics, or whatever?]
[It’s not a joke, so don’t send me stuff like this.]
Even if I was living life as it comes, I couldn’t ruin my friend’s life. It could really be a big deal if I made a mistake.
I was worried, but my sincerity didn’t seem to resonate with her.
The next picture arrived quickly.
[This is a service.]
“This crazy bitch…”
The new selfie that Jung Se-in sent showed not only herself but also Lee Se-hwa, Kwak Jo-young, and Yoon Ji-yoon with their breasts exposed.
Jung Se-in is crazy, but what about the guys next to her? Shouldn’t you stop your friend from doing crazy things?
“Sigh. Calling these guys friends.”
Even so, I quickly saved the picture.
What can I do if I took it? I just have to look at it. I just have to be careful not to leak it, right?
[Everyone is cooperating because they say they’re taking pictures for you to jerk off to.]
[Oh, please, no.]
[I’ll take other pictures for you. The kids say they’ll let me take them.]
Hmm.
Isn’t it the same thing whether I take one picture or ten?
As long as I’m careful.
