It's Friday!
Just one more class and then I'm heading home.
Not like there's anything to do at home anyway...
That new game looked fun, should I give it a try?
[Class Chat: Notice]
[As announced, there will be a festival and sports day briefing today at 19:00, along with a third welcoming party for freshmen. All freshmen who can attend, please do! No participation fee.]
Third welcoming party for freshmen...
Basically, it's just a call for people to come and drink.
I went to the first one, and it wasn't exactly a great experience.
I ended up in a corner, sipping on my drink, feeling out of place, and then left.
As an introvert, just being there felt like my energy was being sucked dry...
Heard that a lot of people dropped out during the second one, so by the third and fourth, only the real social butterflies would be left. Seems like it's a filtering process...
[Lee Juha: Ah, fuck]
[Lee Juha: Lost 500,000 won]
[Lee Juha: Shit, you fucking bitch]
?
What the hell?
I ignored the buzzing notifications. Why do I have a bad feeling about this? Why do I feel like they're going to drag me into this?
Me... I'm going to stay home and play games today. I'm going to play games!
[Lee Juha: Answer]
[Lee Juha: Answer]
[Lee Juha: Answer]
[Lee Juha: Answer]
[Lee Juha: Answer]
Fuck this...
If I keep ignoring, they'll start calling and texting non-stop.
Might even show up at my school...
Better to just read the damn messages before it gets to that.
[Lee Juha: Teaching you poker, bitch]
[Lee Juha: Everyone's fucked, everyone's fucked, everyone's fucked]
[Lee Juha: You do it, you do it, you do it, you fucking bitch]
Did she really lose her mind?
She always just tells me to come or go, but this kind of message is new.
But wait, didn't I win her 300,000 won last time? And now she's lost an additional 200,000 won on top of that.
Running full speed towards the end of gambling, huh, Juha...
[There's a drinking meeting for our class today...]
I wasn't planning on going, but I threw out an excuse anyway.
Immediately, a message popped up.
[Lee Juha: Want to die?]
Fuck, I knew this would happen.
[Lee Juha: Want to drink 20 bottles of soju in a row?]
[Lee Juha: I'll buy you drinks, I said I'll buy!!!!]
How's she going to buy drinks when she's lost all her money?
I can already picture her buying a couple of bottles of soju and some shrimp crackers as a snack...
But what about that OnlyFans account?
It's been up for a while, has any money come in?
[Has any money come in from that OnlyFans?]
[Lee Juha: ]
An empty message came through.
What the... Did I say something wrong?
[Lee Juha: Fuck, I'm coming for you]
[Lee Juha: Where are you? I'm going to rip your dick off]
Fuck... Fine, I'll go. I'll go.
It's the weekend anyway... I can just go to a PC bang to play games...
[I'll come after class... (Defeated emoji)]
[Lee Juha: lol]
Yeah, fuck you too. What choice do I have? If you say come, I have to come.
This bitch! I imagined giving her a piece of my mind with my lower half. But if I tried that, she'd probably bite it off with her teeth...
"Sigh."
I looked out the window for no reason.
Seems like the only person to hang out with at university is Juha.
Though, I'm not sure if it really counts as hanging out.
'Ding dong.'
At Juha's apartment.
I rang the bell, but noticed the door was already open.
Too lazy to even close the door? Damn... What if someone just walks in?
Of course, imagining Juha getting attacked is hard, but still, this is too careless...
"You came..."
"Yeah, yeah."
I closed the door behind me, and there was a faint smell of alcohol.
Beer...
"Fuck..."
Inside, Juha was sprawled out on the floor, her hair a mess.
...Why not use the perfectly good bed?
"My money..."
She's turned into a full-blown gambler.
Lying there, mentally broken, she looks just like a gambler who's lost everything.
I sighed and sat down beside her.
"How many games did you play to lose it all?"
"I don't know, fuck..."
She's in no state to learn poker.
I was already unsure where to start teaching, but now it seems she just wants me to win it back for her. Damn.
"Give me your phone."
Juha handed over her phone, lying there weakly.
What are these marks? Tear stains?
"Hmm..."
The poker site was already bookmarked on her homepage.
Her account showed a negative balance of 200,000 won.
These gambling sites are too kind these days, letting you use negative balances...
"Just a quick game?"
"Now?"
"Just a taste."
At the mention of me playing, Juha perked up a bit and sat next to me.
Ugh... The smell of alcohol.
"Want some beer?"
"...No."
How can you focus while drinking? I really want to see how her brain works.
I checked how many active rooms there were.
Quite a few for 5 PM.
Usually, these sites are busiest in the evening or early morning.
But with so many rooms active at 5 PM, this site must be quite popular. Are there really this many gamblers? Hmm.
'Would you like to join?'
I clicked confirm.
Joining doesn't mean you have to play right away.
You can just watch.
Though, if you only watch, you'll be kicked out eventually... But it's good for observing the flow of the game.
From the host's perspective, it's also a way to bait people in. They make you think, 'Maybe I can win here?'
'Check.'
'Call.'
'Call.'
The sounds of online gambling filled the room.
It felt awkward, even though I had heard it just days before.
"Hmm..."
These sites are definitely risky.
You can't tell if the card shuffling is fair or rigged.
You can't know if the admin is manipulating the game.
That's why they say don't gamble carelessly.
Even if you're good, you never know how you might be 'designed' to lose.
Skill matters in gambling, but checking for manipulation is crucial.
"Hmm."
I checked out various rooms to get a feel for the atmosphere.
It would be hard for one admin to manage all these rooms.
But who knows, most could be AI bots, or there could be multiple admins managing simultaneously.
'Whatever...'
Once you step into a gambling den, you're on your own.
If you decide to play, you have to win by any means necessary.
Overcome all tricks and cheats.
Or don't step in at all.
'This room looks decent.'
A room where the play style didn't seem robotic.
There seemed to be room for psychological play rather than just luck.
'Join.'
Today, I won't go all out like last time.
Just aim to recover the lost money.
Leave about 50,000 won in the negative...
If I turn it positive, she'll just gamble it away again. Can't let it go positive.
"Sigh..."
Let's focus.
Rather than aiming to win everything back, I'll play defensively.
"Phew..."
"Done?"
"Yeah..."
With a negative balance, there's a limit.
No seed money means no bold bets.
Raises and all-ins are practically off the table, so psychological warfare is limited.
Bluffing doesn't work...
But luckily, I managed to win back 150,000 won.
When I initially lost another 50,000 won, Juha almost had a fit.
If I had lost just 5,000 more, she might have jumped off a building...
"Sigh..."
It was already 10:30 PM.
I had been playing for over five hours.
Last time, I won 300,000 won in less than two hours, but this was more of a miracle.
Winning this much with a negative balance is no small feat.
"150,000 won..."
Juha looked a bit disappointed.
Last time, I quickly won 300,000 won, so she probably expected me to clear the negative balance this time.
It's possible if I focused, but would I do it again? She'd just lose it all again...
"It's not easy with a negative balance. No seed money means... This is why gambling is best avoided..."
She doesn't listen to advice about not gambling.
But her expression was brighter than before.
Earlier, she looked like her life was over, now she's at least walking around.
"Want a beer?"
We won't play poker anymore today... Might as well drink.
I paused to think.
Using Juha's account has its limits. It feels like it's being managed somehow.
If I used my phone, it would be easier to lose...
I could probably win a million won before getting locked out with my account...
'...Ah.'
Gambling shouldn't even start.
I shook off the thought and checked her OnlyFans account.
"But how much did you make from OnlyFans?"
"...20,000 won."
20,000 won? That's pathetic.
I thought she'd make at least 300,000 won.
With each video priced at about 1,000 won and a commission of only 10-20%, it should be profitable.
That means about 22 people subscribed.
No monthly fees since there's no content up.
"Hmm..."
With her looks and body, I'm surprised she only made this much.
But it's somewhat expected.
Like I said before, our videos lack 'uniqueness.'
No strengths, no weaknesses. Just videos shot without much thought.
Nothing to really excite viewers.
"Hmm..."
There's too much competition with better bodies and more provocative content.
Especially from Japan, where the content is fresh, provocative, and the bodies are top-notch. It's impossible for us, who aren't even famous, to compete.
'Story.'
That's it. We need a story.
Neither Juha nor I have any special techniques or skills.
Just basic sex, no frills. Good for us, but not for viewers.
We need some kind of setting or acting.
Or we could go with overwhelming physicality or looks.
'Recently...'
I haven't watched much porn lately, but from what I recall...
The popular videos recently had a 'violent' vibe.
The usual sex, pretending to be nice, just mating - that's old news.
Really rough, dominating videos seem to be in vogue.
Videos that look like real, non-consensual encounters...
I glanced at Juha.
No way she'd agree to that.
Just asking for rougher filming because it's for content?
Imagine breaking in while she's asleep or forcing myself on her when she clearly doesn't want it.
Slapping her, punching her stomach, even when she's down, still going at it.
She'd bite my dick off if I even pulled her hair...
'Maybe reverse psychology.'
The opposite.
What if I get beaten up by her?
A concept where the woman dominates the man.
Porn often has scripted rough play, but this could be real.
A real-life scenario where the woman beats the man, kicks him in the stomach.
Such sadomasochistic content isn't common in porn, so there might be a niche market.
But there's a reason it's not mainstream. Not everyone gets off on that...
Plus, the story of a bully needing a nerd for money, then exploiting him sexually, lacks credibility.
Maybe we should just stick to our real situation?
Juha, in need of money, targets me. From there, she starts selling videos of us.
Suddenly, I feel self-loathing?
Anyway, there's definitely a market for this.
There are people who would pay for this kind of content. Even without explicit scenes, just the beating might sell.
This niche could catch on if it gets some buzz. My 20 years of porn experience tells me so!
The title is crucial too. Can't be generic like before...
Maybe something like 'Bully and Nerd' to set the theme.
Add descriptions in various languages with Google Translate.
Ideas are flooding my mind.
Start with the bully dominating, then gradually the nerd starts overpowering her.
Building a story could keep viewers hooked, right?
I'm not into this for my own pleasure!
"Hey, what are you thinking about? You look creepy."
Ah, back to reality.
I awkwardly sipped my beer, feeling embarrassed.
Maybe focusing on OnlyFans to keep a positive balance is better than gambling?
"Just had an idea..."
"What idea?"
"Listen to this..."
I put down my beer and began explaining.
