SMNTCERR, Chapter 23 <100> #5.
Blood rushes in rapidly, the heart screams loudly that it’s right here, pounding, pounding, pounding. Inside, there’s a swirling sensation like dizziness, hair stands on end, the body sends emergency signals. Sangwoo feels confused and disappointed at the same time, with emotions unsuited to this situation.
“T-ta, as far as the sea… it dried up. And then it dried, dried out… completely dry…” [1.]
Jaeyoung forcefully brought his head closer to Sangwoo, the corner of his mouth where Sangwoo was staring expanded rapidly, getting closer and closer
before disappearing from sight. Then his pierced ear and the slightly stretched back hair pass through, simultaneously the smell of cigarettes wafts, stimulating the olfactory nerves.
“Let’s go watch a movie.”
After the hot breath collides with the earlobe, that whispered sound is transmitted to the brain. The precise wavelength of the decoded signal, exchanged between humans, becomes a stimulus for the body. Heat surges from the throat to the face, affecting the “organs” that cannot function autonomously, overriding reason without attempting to calm it down.
Sangwoo abruptly stands up from his chair and runs towards the door. It looks like he’s about to knock over the chair, but he doesn’t bother to look back to make sure.
He forcefully pushes the bathroom door and bursts in, standing in front of the mirror, gasping for breath. His face reddens as if he just finished running a marathon, he repeatedly splashes cold water on his face to reduce the heat.
‘I must be going crazy.’
Sangwoo knows well when and why the male sexual organ becomes erect, but he can’t remember exactly when he received sexual stimulation. The fact that his belly is stiff and his sexual organ is heavy indicates an abnormal functioning of an organ that is unfairly overworked.
Sangwoo washes his face absentmindedly and raises his head. At that moment, the bathroom door opens, water drips from his chin, dripping away.
He locks eyes with Jaeyoung through the mirror.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Sangwoo’s body trembles slightly. The other side frowns and looks even more menacing than ever. When the other side takes another step closer. Sangwoo extends his hand to block the person in front and opens his mouth.
“No.”
“What?”
“I don’t want to go watch a movie.”
Sangwoo spoke directly, he’s not heterosexual, why did the sunbae invite me to watch a movie together? Jaeyoung’s proposition caused the weird domino effect that just formed to collapse in an instant. Therefore, the protective barrier around Sangwoo’s heart was burned down.
Jaeyoung squinted at Sangwoo.
“Is it because of me? Or do you not want to go with a man?”
“Both.”
“How will you repay me for fixing the computer? Do I have to fall off a chair and run out like that?”
The aggressive voice that had been silent for a while returned. Sangwoo automatically opened his mouth and responded.
“Do you think I have no pride? How difficult it is for me to be with you. And how can I show my gratitude like that?”
“Speak louder, don’t overdo it.”
Jaeyoung’s posture didn’t look good, the tension made him think of the first day they met, spinning in the air. At that time, Sangwoo wasn’t even a bit scared. Even though Jaeyoung spoke rudely and acted like a delinquent, now Sangwoo felt afraid of the other side speaking so calmly, and it wasn’t just ordinary fear.
‘Don’t come near me, don’t touch me, stop disrupting my daily life.’ Jaeyoung stared at Sangwoo for a moment. Then he coolly shrugged.
“So, how much is the fee then?”
“Ten million won.”
“This bastard is acting like this again. Even though you speak nicely, your dog-like nature still slips out.”
Jaeyoung’s smile looked more like an enemy than a friend, in that instant, Sangwoo’s fear turned into resistance.
“I told you it wasn’t necessary to repay, it would be better to just go back to pretending like the first day. Don’t act strange like this.”
“What am I doing?”
“Why do you have to whisper like that!”
“Then should I yell in the library?”
Sangwoo bumped into Jaeyoung’s shoulder and quickly ran back to the reading room. The librarian widened their eyes, as if considering whether to intervene or not. He swept everything into his bag hastily, holding the bag in his hand without even zipping it up, and ran as if afraid that someone would follow him, but there was no sign of anyone behind him.

He heard the sound of a red warning signal in his head, warning that his body was in serious trouble and he should run to the hospital right now.
[Heart – abnormal high heart rate compared to the amount of exercise.
Skin – high temperature spreading.
Hands – shaking all the time.
Mouth – dry throat.
Genitals -… Oh my goodness.]
When he returned home, Sangwoo felt dizzy and went straight to bed. Then he pulled up the blanket to cover his head.
What happened 20 minutes ago could be called the most shocking event in his life, a similar event had only happened once before when he was in 8th grade.
At that time, Sangwoo imagined what was under the white shirt of the girl walking by with a fragrant smell on her way to school. At that moment, the image of a swimsuit model he had seen on a bus stop sign popped into his head, his heart raced and his lower part began to harden.
Sangwoo knew well what was happening to his body scientifically, but he didn’t expect it to happen to him. He felt embarrassed as if he had turned into an animal, so he turned around and hurried back home, imagining the reality with his mother who had just finished work and came back in the evening, feeling relieved that it was natural.
‘Son, do you know what’s inside your scrotum?’
‘There are about 200 to 500 million sperm ready for reproduction.’
‘Yes. Normally, they accumulate there and are released through the genitals when stimulated sexually. But you’re still a child, not yet at the age of sexual intercourse. So until you find someone who willingly consents with legal age, you can stimulate ejaculation by doing something similar to sexual intercourse using your hand. Society sees this as a taboo, so you should only do it when you’re alone, not in public places, be careful not to let anything spill on the floor, and wash your hands before and after.’
‘Understood. But will it make me sick?’
‘… Why are you talking about it in a non-scientific way? If it’s a healthy man, he will start ejaculating around the age of 11 and will continue throughout his life, so you don’t have to worry, son.’
After that, even though similar incidents occurred, Sangwoo didn’t panic. Fortunately, he was able to control his organs in his body very well. Most of the time, he could anticipate situations in advance and sometimes, even without controlling it, it would go into sleep mode on its own. From the moment he was born, he had never encountered such inappropriate situations before.
Sangwoo understands that a man penis stiffening with a specific goal in mind is an expression of the desire of a man who wants to impregnate the opposite party and create a second-generation heir, but having a reaction to a man without ovaries doesn’t align with the intended purpose of the organ, even for a brief moment, a ‘mistake’ that ultimately infiltrated Sangwoo’s body after wasting two weeks.
[Chu Sangwoo – Abnormal.
Like a garbage bin in the bathroom of Room 2, 4th floor, Faculty of
Humanities.]
Sangwoo spent the whole day lying down without eating or drinking, wasting the entire day. He was deeply disturbed by the truth that he cannot control his body as he wishes, to the point of considering dropping out of school seriously. Education is important, but if he lets this matter happen again, there will be more serious problems than delaying graduation by one semester.
He lacks confidence in attending classes the next day. If Jang Jaeyoung hugs his neck, nuzzles, or whispers openly near his ear, Sangwoo’s body may malfunction as it did today.
On that day, Sangwoo turns off his alarm clock for the first time in the year and sleeps late. return 0;
The next day, even without the alarm clock, Sangwoo still wakes up at the same time. He suffers from not being able to attend class, but he decides firmly to avoid greater pain. Even though he has to get out of bed, he remains lying on the bed in the same position. While lying down playing mobile games, it’s time to go to class, but Sangwoo doesn’t move a muscle.
10:00.
It’s unclear how the professor of the course ‘Embedded System’ would react. He might remember that in the first class, there was a student sleeping on the desk with a mustache drawn under his nose. If it comes to the point of missing classes, he would probably think it’s understandable. ‘Anyway, I’ll be skipping classes today.’ 10:10.
Sangwoo tries to search for a way to request a class drop, which turns out to be easier than he thought. So he decides to handle it properly that day. However, since there is no information explaining how to manage dropping a class in the middle of the semester, it seems he has to ask at the university.
10:20.
He considers changing his plan due to dropping classes. He plans to finish his studies in the first half of the twenty-sixth year and work at a foreign game company in the second half. Even if he drops classes, the plan will only be delayed by half a year, so it won’t be much of a loss.
Furthermore, the bigger issue is that he won’t be able to work on the game project this semester. Originally, he planned to create a game and release it to the market as a main portfolio when applying for a job at a game company. But it’s not too late as long as he finds a good designer. Even if he drops out of school, he can still make games.
10:30.
Sangwoo logged into the university forum and read the announcement for designer recruitment that he had posted again. Now it was pushed to page 30.
And… this post that no one read had received numerous comments.
[Comments]
[Your comment, rless: Friends who are interested in applying for this project, don’t need to contact StudentChu Sangwoo according to the announcement, but please contact me first.. Jang Jaeyoung, Virtual Arts Design 010-****-****.]
[└, Comment from Peking-Duck: Jang Jaeyoung-sunbae! I contacted you already ^^]
[└, Comment from Choi Soojin: I contacted you, sunbae ^0^]
[└, Comment from mingee03: Oh, it’s late, but send me a message anyway, please.]
[└, Comment from Scap-jjangS: Is the application closed?, ㅠㅠ]
[└, Comment from Yoo Hyunjong: Did Jang Jaeyoung-sunbae join this project too???, I sent a message already.]
There were more than ten posts stating they had contacted each other, but Sangwoo didn’t receive any messages, not even a single one. He felt frustrated and copied the content of the post to create a new thread. Then he deleted the post that was disturbed by Jang Jaeyoung. If the other party spread unfounded rumors about Virtual Arts Design until he couldn’t find anyone, he would hire a professional freelancer instead.
