Chapter 1 — The Temptress—Her Unbearable Charm----

"I'm here…"

"Haha… our beautiful lover has arrived…"

David Park greeted her with a wide smile spreading across his face.

"Wow, you've been bragging so much, but she's really gorgeous…"

"Thank you. I've heard a lot about you too…"

As Daniel Choi and Thomas Lee watched Jenny Kim slip off her high heels, both felt something stir fiercely within them.

Jenny was dressed in a tight blouse that revealed a hint of cleavage and a short miniskirt. Her appearance was undeniably stunning. And the way she smiled sweetly at them was enough to ignite instant flames of jealousy.

The fact that mild-mannered David Park had landed such a breathtaking woman came as a shock to both men.

Despite being an associate professor at university thanks to his hard work, among friends David always seemed naive—almost foolish. Behind his back, they often mocked him. So when he announced he'd introduce them to a woman he'd met through a mutual acquaintance, Daniel Choi and Thomas Lee assumed it would be nothing special. They were utterly unprepared for this.

She stood around five-foot-six, with a slender frame, full, firm breasts that looked ready to burst, and smooth, shapely legs. Most striking of all was her long, straight black hair perfectly framing a charming, pretty face—an image that struck both men like lightning.

"Let's have a drink…"

"Yeah… to my friend David Park's love—cheers!"

"To Jenny Kim's beauty—cheers!"

"Haha… thanks, guys. You're truly my real friends…"

In high spirits, David kept gulping down his liquor.

"My girl is really pretty, right?"

"Yeah… she's really beautiful."

"Haha… thanks…"

Buoyed by the mood, David continued drinking heavily until his tongue began to slur.

The two men sat beside Jenny, then close to David, constantly refilling his glass. Jenny, seemingly enjoying the atmosphere, giggled along and matched their energy.

"Ah… I'm getting drunk. I'll go to the bathroom for a bit…"

"Alright…"

As David left, Daniel Choi and Thomas Lee immediately shifted closer to Jenny. Yet she still smiled sweetly, unfazed.

"Jenny Kim… you're really beautiful."

"Hoho… thank you. Daniel Choi, you're handsome too…"

"Haha… thanks. Seems like our David Park's lucky—landing such a beautiful woman as his girlfriend…"

"Thank you, Thomas Lee. But don't you think someone even more handsome could find you?"

Daniel Choi and Thomas Lee found Jenny even more attractive for how easily she accepted their compliments without resistance.

"To be honest… I've never met a woman as beautiful as you before."

It was true. Though they mocked David Park behind his back, deep down they harbored constant feelings of inferiority—he came from a good family, had a sharp mind, and even outshone them in looks.

"Oh really? Nonsense… Daniel Choi, you're so handsome… manly…"

Daniel Choi, usually gruff-faced, felt his heart race at her words.

"Haha… you mean me? Jenny Kim, your taste is unique…"

"You jealous?"

"Ai… Thomas Lee, you're handsome too… tall and strong…"

Though Thomas Lee was the tallest of the three, he always felt self-conscious about his short legs. Hearing Jenny praise him made him feel incredibly good.

"Ah… you have such a lovely personality too… beautiful face, beautiful body, beautiful character… seriously, I envy David Park…"

"Aw… stop, thank you. Shall we have another drink?"

At Jenny's suggestion, the three clinked glasses and downed their shots, riding the wave of pleasant excitement.

"Talking to you makes me feel amazing…"

"Hoho… thank you. I'm glad you're David Park's friends… you seem like wonderful people. Let's meet often."

"That's exactly what we'd want, Jenny Kim…"

"Another round?"

They toasted again.

"You're really blessed…"

"How so?"

"You're beautiful, and your figure is perfect…"

"Hoho… when did you notice my body?"

Daniel Choi's pulse quickened seeing Jenny take no offense at his bold comment.

"Ever since you walked in… not admiring such a beautiful body would be a crime."

"Hoho… you joke well… now I see you're cheeky, Daniel Choi…"

Seeing Jenny completely unperturbed, both Daniel Choi and Thomas Lee began feeling increasingly aroused.

What they said might border on disrespect toward their friend's girlfriend—but Jenny accepted it all casually.

"Which part of you are you most confident about?"

"Well… I don't know… which part do you think is nice?"

"Hmm… everything's beautiful, but… definitely those long, slender legs…"

"Hoho… thank you… really? You think so?"

Smiling sweetly, Jenny slightly lifted her already-short skirt. The two men felt blood rush to their heads. Her legs were flawlessly smooth. The skirt rose high enough that her panties nearly showed before falling back down—only then did they snap back to reality.

"Oh my… you're such perverts… hmmm… you think they're pretty?"

"They're really… beautiful, Jenny Kim…"

"Hoho… that's such a lie, isn't it?"

"No kidding… you really don't know yourself, Jenny Kim…"

"Thomas Lee, do you think her chest is beautiful?"

When Jenny lightly tugged at her blouse, both men's eyes widened.

"Hoho… why are your eyes so big?"

Only then did they realize Jenny was teasing them, and their faces flushed slightly. Yet her boldness sent their hearts pounding.

"Having fun without me?"

David Park staggered back into the room.

"Yeah… your two friends are really great… I really like them…"

"Haha… yeah, they're good guys… ah… I'm drunk…"

David Park slumped into a chair, leaning his head against the wall, nodding off almost immediately.

Seeing this, Daniel Choi quietly moved his chair closer to Jenny Kim. Thomas Lee followed suit.

"You must be really lucky…"

"Why?"

"Your nose… your face… everything…"

"Oh my… you read physiognomy? Then palmistry too?"

"Well… a little…"

"Then read mine…"

Jenny extended her hand. Daniel Choi gently took it.

"Hmm… you have great fortune… long life… children… about three?"

"Oh really?"

"Yes… and…"

He didn't actually know palmistry, but he held her hand, stroking and massaging it as he spoke.

"How long are you going to hold it? Hoho… David Park hasn't even held it yet…"

She said it to Daniel Choi, but didn't pull her hand away.

"Really? He hasn't held it?"

"No… not yet."

"What a fool… haha… so does that make me closer to you than David Park?"

"Hoho… is that how it works?"

"Your hands are so beautiful…"

Daniel Choi slipped one of her fingers between his own.

"Hoho… thank you, Daniel Choi…"

Jenny smiled faintly and returned the grip. A sudden thrill shot through Daniel Choi. Feeling her delicate fingers wrap around his sent a jolt of electricity through him.

Thomas Lee, watching, grew impatient.

Perhaps the fact that David Park was passed out in the back only intensified the strange, electric tension among the three.

Thomas Lee couldn't stop glancing at the deep cleavage visible between Jenny's blouse buttons.

"Your legs are really beautiful, Jenny Kim…"

"Thank you… Daniel Choi… you're manly and handsome too…"

Each word, each tone of voice, stirred their hearts.

Daniel Choi gently placed his free hand on Jenny's knee.

"Oh my… Daniel Choi, you're so cheeky…"

Jenny lightly brushed his hand away. But Daniel Choi noticed his hand hadn't been fully removed—just slightly repositioned. Her touch, though spoken as rejection, had merely grazed his hand before letting go.

"Jenny Kim… I've never seen such beautiful legs… even a mannequin wouldn't compare…"

His hand softly stroked her knee. Jenny tried to brush it off again, but it was only a token gesture. Daniel Choi clearly felt the soft warmth of her bare skin.

Thomas Lee, watching Daniel Choi and Jenny, grew restless.

"You're really beautiful, Jenny Kim…"

His random comment made Daniel Choi and Jenny glance at each other and laugh.

"You're eager, huh… haha…"

"Eager? About what?"

Jenny pretended to pull her hand from Daniel Choi's grasp, but instead occasionally tightened her grip, sending waves of confidence—or false confidence—through him.

"Oh my… Thomas Lee…"

"Your legs are beautiful, Jenny Kim…"

"Pfft…"

Jenny burst into laughter at Thomas Lee's awkwardness. Daniel Choi laughed too, half-amused, half-embarrassed.

"Don't do this… David Park might wake up…"

For a split second, Daniel Choi and Thomas Lee felt even more excited. If David Park doesn't wake up… is it okay?

Just how far would this go?

"Ah… I think I'm drunk…"

Thomas Lee's hand touched Jenny's leg—so soft, so smooth.

"I'll go to the bathroom…"

Jenny stood up.

Daniel Choi reluctantly let go of her hand, but not before noticing she subtly squeezed his fingers as she pulled away.

"I'll be right back too…"

"Where?"

"Stop nagging… we're accomplices, remember?"

"Hmm… fine…"

"Keep an eye on David Park waking up…"

After Jenny left, Daniel Choi turned to Thomas Lee and stood.

He waited outside the bathroom, stepping forward as the door opened and Jenny emerged.

"Oh… Daniel Choi? Were you waiting for me? Hoho…"

"Yes… Jenny Kim…"

"What? Just joking…"

"No, I wasn't."

"Then… why?"

Daniel Choi took her hand and slowly interlaced their fingers. Jenny didn't resist—instead, she returned the grip.

"You wanted to hold my hand? Hoho…"

Daniel Choi stepped closer. Jenny slightly retreated, but the hallway was narrow—her back pressed against the bathroom door.

He closed in further, stopping only when their faces were inches apart.

"You said you haven't even held hands with David Park yet, right?"

"Yes…"

Daniel Choi locked eyes with her. Even the slightest movement would bring their lips together, yet Jenny didn't look away.

"So… am I closer to you than David Park?"

"Hoho… could that be?"

"What comes after holding hands?"

"I don't know…"

Daniel Choi took her other hand, interlacing both. She didn't resist—she even gripped tighter.

"What do you think?"

Daniel Choi lowered his head slightly, closing the gap until their lips nearly touched.

"What do you think?"

"Kissing…"

"Daniel Choi… isn't that going too far?"

Sweet, warm alcohol fumes from Jenny's breath tingled Daniel Choi's nose.

"We're holding hands… both of them…"

"That's true…"

Daniel Choi felt Jenny's hands gently squeeze his.

"You're so beautiful and lovely, Jenny Kim…"

"Thank you… but I'm David Park's girlfriend…"

"Not yet… and even if you were, who cares? Are you going to marry him?"

"Maybe… probably…"

"Well… doesn't matter. Maybe it's even better…"

"What do you mean?"

"It's easier with a friend's wife than a friend's girlfriend…"

"Tsk… Daniel Choi… now I see…"

"The moment I saw you…"

"The moment?"

"I thought… this is her."

"What… what do you mean?"

"The woman…"

"The woman…"

As they spoke, their lips lightly brushed. Jenny's red, moist lips were endlessly soft even at the slightest contact. Their conversation only heightened Daniel Choi's arousal.

"Shall we move to the next step?"

"You know it's wrong… I'm David Park's… hmm…"

Daniel Choi silenced her with a kiss, boldly slipping his tongue into her slightly parted lips.

Jenny's lips were unbelievably soft and wet—Daniel Choi trembled with excitement.

He'd never imagined this. Yet everything unfolded so naturally, he wondered if he'd ever been this daring before. His tongue traced her white, even teeth, then explored the soft inside of her mouth.

Jenny didn't respond—but she didn't turn away either.

"You did it…"

"I was taken advantage of… I…"

"Jenny Kim…"

"Let's go back in…"

At her words, Daniel Choi reluctantly let go—but as Jenny released his hand, he felt her fingers tighten slightly. Smiling, he followed her back inside.

"What were you two doing?"

"Hoho… if you're curious, why don't you come see?"

Thomas Lee stared, baffled by Jenny's casual smile—until he saw the smirk on Daniel Choi's face. Suddenly, he thought he understood.

"Our David Park's still asleep… shall we have another drink?"

"Sure…"

No sooner had they sat than Daniel Choi placed his hand on Jenny's thigh. Thomas Lee quickly followed, placing his hand beside Daniel Choi's. This time, Jenny didn't brush them away. Instead, she raised her glass, toasted, and downed her drink in one gulp.

"Let's play a game."

"What kind of game?"

"Truth game…"

"Haha… sounds fun… shall we try?"

"I'll go first… let me ask Daniel Choi… what do you think of our David Park?"

"Hmm… I think he's an idiot."

"Tsk… too honest, aren't you?"

"Well… my turn now. Jenny Kim… was it good earlier?"

"Hmm… yes. Now Thomas Lee's turn…"

"What did you do earlier, Jenny Kim?"

"Daniel Choi kissed me on his own. My turn now… Thomas Lee, do you also think David Park's an idiot?"

"Yes…"

"Now it's my turn? Hmm… Jenny Kim… Thomas Lee's touching your leg. Does that bother you?"

"No… not really."

"Then it's my turn? Can I do what Daniel Choi did earlier?"

"No… Daniel Choi asked for permission, didn't he? Now my turn… do you two feel guilty toward David Park about what you're doing?"

"No."

"Me neither."

"You're terrible friends… David Park trusts you both…"

"Well… it's because of you…"

"Why?"

"You're so damn attractive… we can't keep our friendship intact…"

"Hoho… should I say thank you?"

"Maybe…"

"My turn… Jenny Kim… you know you drive me crazy, right?"

"Oh my… what did I do…"

"Now it's my turn… I'm going crazy because of you too… what should we do?"

"Oh my… Thomas Lee… joking again…"

Their hands on her thighs crept higher, gently rubbing past her knees, moving up her inner thighs.

"This is the final truth game… will you promise to stay best friends with David Park forever?"

"Hmm… I will… but there's a condition…"

"What is it?"

"You become my lovers…"

"What? Impossible…"

Jenny's eyes met Daniel Choi's. His gaze burned with heat—and hers burned just as fiercely.

"Seriously? Is that impossible? Then what if… you become David Park's wife, and we become your lovers?"

"If I'm a lover…?"

"The third level…"

Daniel Choi's hand slid deeper into her inner thigh. Jenny flinched slightly but didn't pull away. His fingers caressed the soft, tender flesh as he leaned in and covered her lips with his.

His tongue invaded her mouth, swirling wildly, and Jenny let him—offering no
