“Heh, heh heh heh. Emilia… you arrogant b***h…”
Kim Dong-gi chuckled darkly to himself. Though his usual dull and stupid expression often left people frustrated just by looking at him, at this moment, his face was one of revulsion rather than frustration.
It was understandable, though—an opportunity he never thought would come in his lifetime, one he believed would be impossible to grasp, was now right in front of him.
And it was so easy to take.
“She always just nagged me… we were in the same year, the same class! We’re the same age!”
As he gathered the necessary items for the van, he snickered to himself. People passing by recoiled at his expression, stepping away quickly.
“That fing bh. Don’t think you’ll always be able to act all high and mighty.”
Their connection began with him being her errand boy.
Kang Emilia had always been famous at school for her wealthy family and beauty. She was also known for her nasty personality.
She never bothered to hide it, ruling over the school like a queen and treating her classmates like her personal servants. Kim Dong-gi was the lowest in the pecking order.
Naturally, he endured constant bullying, and the resentment he built up was immense.
For some reason, after she took over the family business, she scouted him, even giving him the high position of Treasurer, but no amount of titles could erase the past.
“Don’t think of it as something petty like a grudge... I... I love you, Emilia. A love that transcends any grudge.”
Back in their school days, she was superior, noble, and untouchable. Thinking of her then, he lost himself in a delusion.
Sure, she was still beautiful now, but not as much as she had been then.
“You, too… will eventually fall for me!”
His fantasy raced forward in an instant. But just as he was about to reach the climax, external interference cut it short.
“Mr. Treasurer. They’re here.”
A female employee brought in the four trainees and two bodyguards that Go Mu-yeol had practically purchased. He hid his disappointment with a stupid grin.
“Oh, oh, thank you.”
“I’ve notified them. You can leave immediately.”
He nodded and looked at the trainees.
Fresh from their showers and dressed in new clothes, none of them had pleasant expressions. They knew exactly what it meant to be sold off to a man like Go Mu-yeol.
And with Go Mu-yeol’s infamous reputation, the outcome was obvious.
For a moment, Dong-gi felt sorry for them, but he quickly brushed it off. The important thing was Emilia, not them.
“It’s a long trip… so drink this at least…”
“…Thank you.”
“Bodyguards, you too… drink up.”
“Oh, thank you.”
The trainees, with dead eyes, accepted the drinks Dong-gi handed them and climbed into the van. The bodyguards followed suit.

Kim Dong-gi hummed along to the song playing on the radio as he watched the scenery pass by outside the window.
He liked this song. Something about its dreamy melody, reminiscent of first love, always brought back memories of his school days with Emilia.
Her long hair falling like silk, her sharp, condemning gaze, and that proud, upturned nose.
The blouse that barely contained her chest, stretched to its limit with its tight fabric. The skirt of her school uniform fluttering like butterfly wings in the wind.
Whenever that elegant figure turned toward him, his entire body would shiver. Even when her hands or feet struck him, his heart remained devoted to her.
“Ahh… Emilia… my Emilia…”
In his fantasies, the Emilia of his past appeared. It wasn’t an exact representation of her—his desires and preferences had distorted her—but it satisfied him.
In his delusion, Emilia was haughty yet kind, and she looked only at him.
And… she did whatever he wanted.
“Hah, haah…”
When he snapped back to reality, he found his rough hand covered in semen. Even in his half-crazed state, he had enough shame to know that masturbating in front of others was embarrassing. He hurriedly looked around.
“…” “…"
The van was eerily quiet. Only the muffled sounds of the outside world and the soft breathing of the passengers filled the air.
“Whew…”
The four trainees meant for Go Mu-yeol and the two bodyguards assisting them were all fast asleep, having drunk the sleeping pills Dong-gi had given them.
His phone vibrated. It was a call from Emilia.
“You’re calling me now because I’m gone, huh?”
He wiped the semen on his pants and answered the phone.
“Hello-”
As expected, a shouting voice exploded from the other end. Though Emilia’s voice was normally a bit low for a woman, it turned shrill whenever she screamed.
He glanced at the screen. There were 17 missed calls. Five were from company employees, and twelve were from Emilia.
“Em-Emilia.”
“Listen, li-listen to me… I have… something to say.”
Emilia sensed something off.
His tone was as stupid as usual, but there was something different about the way he spoke. The idiot who always addressed her respectfully as “President” was now calling her by name and speaking informally.
This idiot had definitely developed some strange thoughts.
“Hrk, hhrk…!”
Yes.
This was it.
He had missed this feeling.
The way she chose her words without hesitation, her voice like a knife stabbing at his chest.
He clutched his chest, feeling the heat rise within him.
“How about… we make a deal?”
“What do you think… one trainee, one picture?”
He snapped a picture of the sleeping trainees and bodyguards and sent it to her.
“Four trainees… so, four pictures.”
“Without panties… just in their uniforms… four pictures. The poses-”
Sigh…
The sigh that came through the phone triggered something in him, like Pavlov’s dog responding to a bell.
Emilia hung up.
It was the reaction he had expected. There was no way the queen herself would agree to a deal so easily.
He sent her a text.
[Check the contract.]
Then he turned off his phone. By the time he resurfaced in a few hours, her insides would be burning with worry.

“You… f*ing piece of st…”
Emilia, having been blindsided, barely held back her fury. She took a deep breath and calmly set down the contract.
“…President.”
Her secretary looked at her with concern, her face showing signs of worry and confusion.
“This is invalid, right? There’s no way this can be enforced. This… this loser is just playing games, right?”
After reading Dong-gi’s text, she had checked the contract and found an absurd clause. If Rainbow Miracle failed to deliver the trainees to Goryeo Entertainment, they would owe 100 times the transaction amount.
Considering the 2.5 billion won they received for the five trainees, 100 times that amount would be a staggering 250 billion won.
No matter how wealthy her family was, that was not a sum they could easily cover.
“There wasn’t such a clause when I checked it!”
“Yes, I confirmed that as well. They must’ve used a method where the text appears after some time. Legally, the clause is void, and the contract is automatically invalid… however.”
“…” “Given who we’re dealing with… it’s up to them how they’ll respond.”
Emilia ruffled her hair in frustration.
Her secretary was right—the contract was definitely invalid. But considering who they were dealing with, if Goryeo Group insisted on enforcing the contract, things would get complicated.
‘It’s a contract that only benefits them. If I push back, I’ll be the one in trouble.’
If it were someone like Go Mu-yeol, he wouldn’t hesitate to exploit this. He might even use it as an excuse to demand something from her personally.
‘He seemed different from the rumors when I saw him in person earlier… but this is still a f***ed up situation.’
She bit her lip so hard it nearly bled. After a long moment of deliberation, she finally picked up her phone.
