Emotion

Yoohyeon scrolled through the multiple messages, frowning after looking through their profiles. She didn’t quite understand how any of it worked, but she answered a few and was met with ridiculous requests. Most of them were asking her to already send nudes while she really didn’t know what she wanted.

She knew she didn’t want to keep working at the stupid clothing store and knew she didn’t want to keep trying to get into any university that would take her. Applications were expensive and she just wanted to start with classes that were actually interesting. She didn’t want to take any general classes that would bore her out of staying.

She gave up on the app for a few days, working her shifts and passing out the second she got home.

It wasn’t until the third day she checked the app again, deciding to scroll through the many messages she had. She saw the disgusting photos a few rich men had as their profile pictures, some were incredibly basic that she was instantly bored.

But one caught her eye.

A woman that seemed to be normal… Yoohyeon clicked on the profile, learning this woman put that she was currently making quite a large paycheck and was actually really nice to look at. It was a simple message, just asking if she was available for a chat rather than anything else. No demands for a picture, no asking what her rules and boundaries were… Just a chat…

So Yoohyeon responded.

If anything she could shut the conversation down and decline the request.

It was an hour of chatting with the woman that called herself Jiu. Yoohyeon knew damn well that she could’ve been lying about the few pictures that were on her profile, at least until three days later when she met Jiu in person.

She sat in the coffee shop, looking around at the different people that surrounded them. It was clear that this woman had done this before, or at least knew that Yoohyeon had apprehensions about meeting this person in some random location that was private… This was incredibly public with many witnesses. Just in case.

“Yoohyeon… Right?” The dark-haired woman smiled.

Yoohyeon nearly spat out her coffee at the sight of this gorgeous woman in front of her.

“Right… You’re Jiu?” Yoohyeon coughed while taking a napkin to clear her mouth of any liquid that escaped in her desperate attempt to not choke.

“In the flesh,” Jiu smiled at the woman as she sat across from her.

Yoohyeon couldn’t help but eye her up and down, trying to learn as much about her as she could before the woman started speaking again. Her clothes looked rather expensive but comfortable. Her bag didn’t have anything flashy, everything screamed expensively comfortable…

“I know it is quite odd to meet like this… But I would imagine you would want witnesses in case I was a murderer,” She chuckled.

Oh, this woman had jokes…

“Yeah… A lot of creepy men on that site…” Yoohyeon chuckled nervously, rubbing the back of her neck with her fingers. “Look… I… I think you’re very nice… But I… I’ve never done anything like this…” She whispered.

“Oh neither have we,” Jiu smiled.

“We?” Yoohyeon gulped.

“My wife and I have been contemplating adding a third into our relationship. She wanted to do everything herself, but she isn’t entirely… a people person. I’m better with people and if I like what I see, then she does too,” Jiu explained with a small smile. “But she is here if you’d like to meet her,” She whispered.

“Um… I-I don’t know…” Yoohyeon frowned.

“No rush, just talking,” Jiu reminded her with the same smile. “Now… You want to… Explain to me exactly what your expenses are in order to… Reach out in this way?” She asked, leaning back in the chair.

“Well… I work in retail… And I hate it. I kept spending money on university applications… And I’m thinking it isn’t even for me… I just… Want to do freelance photography and study languages on my own time… And be me without having deadlines or rushing to get to classes… I kind of want to travel and learn about the world firsthand rather than through a screen or a book… So really… It’s just the want to live the way I want… Rather than… Needing to pay through school…” She explained, mumbling the last bit.

Yoohyeon stared at the table in front of her, wondering if she was too honest with this woman. She had been too honest with another person prior and they ended up telling her she was being selfish and lazy for not wanting to pursue a real education.

“So… You want to pursue an education in a more hands-on approach rather than behind a desk?” Jiu tilted her head, watching the other woman nod her head in agreement. “What a way to live,” She smiled. “I think we could accommodate that… However… You are aware of the exchange?” She asked.

“I mean… I know nothing comes for free… There’s always a price…” Yoohyeon shrugged. “What exactly do you want from me?” She whispered.

“Your time… Body… And if the time comes… We could have a room set up for you. If you plan on traveling what is the point of having your own place?” Jiu smiled.

“B-body?”

“Of course. Having a purely online connection wouldn’t get you nearly as much money as you think. Give us what we want and we can supply you with much… Much more.”

Yoohyeon nodded her head, eyes landing back on the table in front of her. It was a lot to think about. She had been with people before… But it was never great. But this woman was married… What if the whole thing was set up just to get Yoohyeon killed because she was lying about her wife?

“And your wife?” Yoohyeon asked quietly. “You said she was here?”

Jiu nodded her head, looking behind Yoohyeon. It was a matter of a few moments before another woman showed up, sitting between Yoohyeon and Jiu. She was just as gorgeous, smaller for sure, with long dark hair that nearly covered her face.

“This is Dami,” Jiu introduced. “My wife,” She smiled.

“Nice to meet you,” Yoohyeon whispered.

“Same to you,” Dami answered. “So… What are your thoughts on our proposal?” She asked.

“Well… I don’t really have much to lose… So… I guess I’m in.”
