It is Easiest to be Obsessed by Everyone

“You asked me to find a place for you to hide out for a while. It just so happened that my older brother’s studio apartment was vacant, so you came here since there was still some time left on the lease.”

“What was I hiding from?”

“You didn’t say. But wasn’t it probably a woman?”

“A woman?”

“There are a lot of women obsessed with you, oppa. And you always get tired of that.”

“So what was the promise we made earlier?”

“I confessed to you a while back. But you rejected me.”

“… Really?”

Is this what it’s like to live as a ridiculously handsome guy?  

A girl like that confesses to you first, and you coolly turn her down?  

And yet, when you ask for a place to hide, she willingly offers her brother’s studio apartment without a second thought?

“You said that once you turn a girl down, it’s uncomfortable to even stay friends with her. So I asked if I could just stay by your side, and you told me not to confess again until you gave me permission.”

“That was the promise? When was this?”

“About a year ago.”

Wait a minute. If it was a year ago, it meant she was 19? A high school senior?

Wow, Lee Chang-woo.  

After that, Hyena calmly continued to explain what kind of person Lee Chang-woo was.

“There was always this feeling that you were somehow always on the edge. That’s what got me excited, and probably other girls too.  

There were always lots of girls around you, and I had to pretend to be your girlfriend to fend off 52 of them because you asked me to.  

There were 83 girls who wouldn’t leave you alone, even after hair-pulling fights.”

Impressive, Lee Chang-woo…

“You were always struggling because of the girls who clung to you. You even developed social anxiety, and recently, you had a hard time going out. There were times when stalker girls would follow you all the way to your front door, which startled you.”

“Um, Hyena. I get that I had a lot of girls around me, so tell me something else. What kind of guy was I?”

“I don’t know that either. You never told me.”

“What was my financial situation like?”

“You weren’t lacking or anything.”

“How did we first meet?”

“I was working at an event, and you were in the audience. I fell for you at first sight, so I rigged the raffle to make sure you won, and that’s how I naturally got your number and contacted you. You were really annoyed back then.”

Wait a second.  

Something sounds odd.

“An event? Audience? What do you mean?”

“Oh, right, you don’t remember. That was when I was actively working as an idol.”

“So, you were doing an idol event, and I was just one of the audience members? And you approached me first?”

“Yes.”

“But doesn’t that mean you shouldn’t be following me around now? Aren’t you an idol?”

“I’m a former idol. I quit over a year ago. The company went bankrupt.”

If my company went bankrupt and I had to retire from being an idol, I think I’d have lost my mind.  

But she appeared perfectly fine.  

Even though time had passed, she didn’t seem regretful at all.

“So what are you doing now?”

“I’m a staff member at a studio for a YouTuber with 4 million subscribers…”

“Well, that’s great. A YouTuber with that many subscribers is way better than most mid-tier idols.”

“… As a staff member at the studio.”

“A staff member?”

“Yes. I became disillusioned after experiencing all sorts of things during my idol career. But I found video production fun, so I got a job as a staff member for a corporate YouTuber.”

Hyena didn’t know much about Lee Chang-woo.

She said from the beginning that Lee Chang-woo wasn’t the type to share about himself.  

And he hated being asked questions.  

“It didn’t feel like he had a past he needed to hide or anything. He just didn’t like being bothered.”

“Then you don’t know anything about my family either?”

“No. I’ve never seen you in contact with your family.”

I learned plenty about who Hyena was.  

But there wasn’t much substantial information about Lee Chang-woo.  

He attracted a lot of girls, was scouted off the street and approached by girls like it was nothing, and never worried about money.

“You own a 60-pyeong (about 2,000 square feet) apartment in Samseong-dong. That’s a really expensive area.”

“I own a 60-pyeong apartment in Samseong-dong? Not on rent?”

“When I first visited, I was amazed at how expensive the rent must be, but you said you own the place and only pay 400,000 won a month to the management office for maintenance, instead of rent to a landlord.”

“From what you’re telling me, it sounds like the old me was super high-strung, yet I invited you to my house?”

“You’d often call me over to clean. You said you liked how I didn’t cling, so you’d contact me often.”

Damn it. Lee Chang-woo, you bastard.  

What on earth were you lacking that you wanted to die?

Did you quit life because you got bored of easy mode and wanted to try hard mode?

But man, she really is beautiful.  

Suddenly, I remembered the sensation of the kiss earlier and instinctively rubbed my lips.  

When I glanced at Hyena’s lips, she flinched in surprise.  

I felt a wave of embarrassment wash over me, as if she could see right through my thoughts.  

“Do you still like me?”  

“Of course!”  

Hope filled Hyena’s eyes.  

Even a virgin who died without having had sex knew that now was the moment.  

If I asked her to go out with me, she’d say yes without a second thought.  

We might even be able to have sex today.  

The sex I desperately wanted to have before dying, the thing I regretted not having every day. I hid under the covers and wished I had done it before the surgery.  

“… Do you have any advice for me?”  

Why can’t I just say, ‘Do you want to date me?’

Even with this ridiculously handsome body, I couldn’t shake the experience of being a lifelong virgin ingrained in my soul.  

“Advice? From me?”  

“Things the completely amnesiac Lee Chang-woo should be careful about or pay attention to going forward.”  

“Um… Maybe just to be careful around women?”  

“That goes without saying.”  

“Oppa, if any other women contact you, don’t let on that you’ve lost your memory. They might try to manipulate you with gaslighting. I can guarantee it.”  

I couldn’t help but let out a dry laugh.  

“Hey, are you sure you’re not taking advantage of this opportunity and gaslighting me yourself?”  

“No, no! I would never do that!”  

Hyena jumped. She waved both hands and shook her head furiously.  

Her earnestness was cute, and if she was acting, she could probably become an actress.  

If Lee Chang-woo were here, he’d probably freak out, but if a girl like this liked me enough to gaslight me, I might be willing to put up with it…  

“I swear. I would never lie to you or hide anything from you. And I never will in the future.”  

“Okay, okay.”  

The way she puffed out her chest and made a pledge was so cute that I patted her head a few times.  

Her expression immediately changed.  

It was a mix of curiosity and anticipation, as if she was hoping for something to happen next.  

… Could it be? I hope it was the case.

“Oppa, that was my first kiss.”  

“Oh, oh.”  

“I don’t mean to pressure you or anything. I just wanted you to know.”  

“…”  

Even though she was embarrassed, she looked everywhere but at me. She still managed to say what she wanted to say.  

What was I supposed to do with this awkwardness?  

Ah! Whatever.  

I suddenly pulled Hyena close and hugged her. This way, we wouldn’t have to awkwardly make eye contact.  

So, this is what a woman’s body feels like—so soft.  

No matter how long I held her, I didn’t get tired of it. I wanted to strip her down and caress every inch of her skin and take in her scent. I wanted to cover her in my scent.  

I held Hyena’s slender jawline with both hands.  

Under trembling eyelashes, her large eyes looked up at me silently.  

How could she be this beautiful?  

I thought she had the looks of a celebrity; even though she was from a lesser-known idol group, my instincts were right.  

I cupped her cheeks with both hands and pressed my lips against hers.  

Her sweet, soft, moist, and tender lips enveloped my breath.  

As I sucked gently on her lower lip, Hyena softly nibbled on my upper lip with her soft lips.  

When I pushed my tongue in, her soft tongue gently caressed mine.  

The moist, tender lining that brushed against the tip of my tongue sent a tingling shock through me like electricity.  

I didn’t have the luxury to maintain any semblance of composure.

As if I were about to swallow her whole, I pressed my lips against Jung Hyena’s and devoured her like a starving man who hadn’t eaten for days.  

It was like drinking salt water—the more I drank, the thirstier I became, and a desire boiled up inside me.  

At some point, my erection had become rock hard.  

Hyena must have noticed by now; it had been pressing into her stomach for a while.  

I couldn’t take it anymore.  

I wanted to see her breasts, to suck on them, but right now, I needed to resolve the frustration of my past life. The unfortunate fate of losing my dick without ever using it.  

I needed to bury this throbbing rod into this beautiful ex-idol.  

If I didn’t, the spirit of my poor, lost dick might hold a grudge against me.  

Maybe the status window was actually the spirit of my tragically departed dick, blessed and evolved by the gods?  

I fumbled with the zipper of Hyena’s pants, my lips still greedily attached to hers.  

Struggling, I managed to lower her skinny jeans just enough to expose a bit of her hips.  

As I reached for the crotch area of her panties, I paused. 

What is this?  

Something thick and soft like a pad… Oh?  

“Ah! I’m sorry, oppa.”  

Startled, I momentarily pulled away, and Hyena looked utterly at a loss, as if she’d committed a grave sin.  

“My-my period just started yesterday…”  

Her voice was barely a whisper.  

Even though I’d lived a life without ever experiencing it, I knew enough to understand.  

Right now, she was probably bleeding heavily, and forcing it now could be seriously harmful to her health.  

Damn! I felt like crying.  

It was like the misfortunes of my past life had followed me here.  

“But it’ll be over in three days, no, maybe two. So…”  

That expression… I recognized it.  

It’s like when the girl you have a crush on asks you to dinner, but you have a prior engagement with a professor.  

That was my expression back then too.  

—It’s not that I don’t want to; it’s just that I can’t today because of my prior commitment with the professor. But tomorrow or the day after, whenever you want, I can treat you to a full course! Please don’t misunderstand!  

So this is what it’s like to live as a ridiculously handsome guy.  

An ex-idol desperately pleaded with that expression, saying her period would be over soon.
