Chapter 12 - Chapter 10.1: Extra: The Carrot and the Stick

Late at night, after the victory, Ming You met with his team near the school gates.

"Guys, I have great news for you," Ming You announced with an honest smile.

"Is there anything better than our victory today? Come on, tell us!" Lu Shen and the rest of the team were intrigued.

"Besides winning and clearing our debts, we also made some money. Here's your share for the victory. If you keep listening to me and winning, your boring school lives will change for the better." Ming You pulled out 20 million won. "Five million each; you've earned it today."

The team, unable to believe their eyes, stared in shock at the amount of money Ming You had produced.

"Uh… this is…" Jung Ho and the others remained in disbelief.

"What are you waiting for? Take it," Ming You insisted, and his teammates, with no choice but to accept, took the money.

"We don't even know how to thank you," Haru Lin and the others continued to be amazed.

"No need to thank me; you earned it. Just keep obeying me and winning," Ming You knew that the carrot and stick approach was the best way to manage people.

"But that's not all; we need to celebrate our victory, right?" Ming You continued to excite his team.

"I hope we have more victories than we did before," the team cheered even more.

"Well then, let's go." Ming You led them to the gang's club, and the team followed him, discussing the game and teasing each other on the way.

As soon as they arrived, their faces, except for Ming You's, turned as red as tomatoes.

"Ugh!" Lu Shen nearly fainted, while the others couldn't take their eyes off the girls present.

"Hey, Sung Wo, can we hang out here, huh?" Ming You asked slyly.

"Actually, students aren't allowed here," Sung Wo began, but was abruptly interrupted by Ming You, pulling out 5 million won.

"How about now?" Ming You gave the money to Sung Wo with a cunning smile, and he accepted it, saying, "Well, students shouldn't have that kind of money, so you must be adults. Enjoy yourselves. Jin Xi, bring drinks for the guys and ask the girls to entertain our guests."

A girl with long dyed hair and attractive features approached Ming You and Sung Wo. Her outfit revealed almost all parts of her body.

"I love young guys, especially cold-blooded ones like you," Jin Xi said, touching Ming You inappropriately, but there was no reaction from him. "Hey, are you even interested in girls? Or are you just pretending to be normal in front of your friends?" Jin Xi asked, puzzled.

"I'm only interested in winning, you stupid woman," Ming You replied, removing her hand from his pants. "Now go entertain my friends."

Sung Wo chuckled quietly, while Jin Xi, looking disappointed and little bit disgusted, went behind the bar counter to fetch drinks and call over more girls for the Yoshido team.

Ming You was the first to approach the table, and, at his team's urging, they made room for him in the middle.

Before the Yoshido team could propose a toast and praise Ming You, girls with revealing outfits sat on their laps. Blood flowed from the boys' noses as Ming You remained calm, sipping a alcoghol cocktail.

"Maybe we should start with a toast for propriety?" Ming You suggested, pushing the girls away.

"I agree, but there's one problem…" Jung Ho, still blushing, took a glass.

"And what's that?" Ming You inquired.

"Lu Shen seems to have passed out," Jung Ho pointed at him.

"N… No! I'm fine! Let's toast to Ming You!" Lu Shen managed to wake up.

Everyone else grabbed a glass and shouted in unison: "To Ming You!"

"Ugh!" Like the others, Lu Shen, who had never drunk alcohol before, jerked back and began to get tipsy.

"Friends, maybe we should move on to the girls now?" Ming You's words shocked his entire team, and Lu Shen fainted again.

"Looks like you're the only one here who isn't a virgin, given how calmly you are with these girls," Jung Ho said enviously.

"Hey, bitche... beauties, could you take my friends to separate rooms?" Ming You said straightforwardly.

"We're going to have our first virgins; how funny!" one of the girls said.

"Uh, Ming You, what should we do?" his teammates asked.

"Just imagine you're shooting a basket from the closest distance, and now keep having fun. And you girls, be gentle with them."

"Ah, I'm scared!" Lu Shen said as a girl led him away by the hand.

Ming You sat alone at the table when Jin Xi approached him.

"Hey, why are you spending so much on your friends while not having fun yourself?" Jin Xi asked, getting close.

"I don't know if a stupid slut like you would understand, but I'll say it anyway — carrot and stick," Ming You replied with a mocking smile.

"Oh, we're so rude! If you've found such a good way with the carrot, I can only imagine what the stick means," Jin Xi said, looking at him with flushed cheeks.

"You're better off not knowing," Ming You replied emotionlessly.

"No way, tell me, or better yet, show me," Jin Xi flirted with him.

"Fuck off." Ming You said plainly, placing his empty glass down and walking over to Sung Wo, leaving Jin Xi perplexed.

"Sung Wo," Ming You called, "when my friends finish, call them a taxi. I told you their addresses when I set them up, hehe."

"Sure thing, but where are you going? You clearly aren't a virgin, yet you really aren't interested in women?" Sung Wo was puzzled by him.

"Just regular pieces of rotten meat; sorry, but I'm not a fan," Ming You replied, exiting the club.

"I wish I hadn't asked…" Sung Wo was left even more bewildered.
