2 STARLIGHT

That was around 8 years ago. Now, I've already mastered the art of trickery, blackmail, manipulation, feigning emotions and seduction. Okay, okay, you might wonder where, why or how I learnt seduction as it doesn't really seem necessary for an 18 year old like me.

Let me explain:

The where? I learnt from, of course, the internet. That's where I get most of my information on how to blend in, how to do this and that, and so on.

The why? I learned how to seduce, tempt, etc. etc. women at first at 15 because it seemed interesting. I know, I know, but hey, you have no idea how much women in Gangnam pay for a night with a high-schooler, and don't even mention how much you get spoiled by them with a sweet sounding 'noona' or a quick kiss without them needing to ask. And with father being very strict with allowances ever since I entered high school, it's a good side hustle.

It's crazy, the amount they can afford to throw around, sheesh.

After that, I started using my skills on the teachers. it since despite my amazing grades and quick comprehension, I'm not too well-versed in science-y subjects and ever since learnt how to flirt properly, I'd rely on my looks and 'determined persona' to sway my grades.

That and a bit of flirting with the single, freshly graduated college student who teaches chemistry or the middle-aged noona who teaches biology who happened to recently get divorced, I didn't mind, as long as the grade was worth it.

The how? Again, I learnt the basics of seduction and pleasuring a woman from the internet and after getting past that, I moved on to 'live practice', if you will.

My first was with an idol trainee who, just around 10 months later, would debut and become star.

Her name was Park Sun-hee.

As I arrive in my classroom, my fellow peers glance towards me and all greet me in... various ways.

"Yoo, mornin' Min-chul!" (Do-yun)

"Hehehe, good morning oppa~." Chung-cha)

"Damn, still callin' him 'oppa' huh?!? Didn't you make a boyfriend out of that soy boy, Jung-hoon???" (Hana)

"Ahhhh, let me be, Hana! That sucker won't even look at me for 3 seconds without apologizing and blushing like a maiden in love. It's sooo funny~, haha." (Chung-cha)

"Still, I think if you don't like him, you should break up with him now before you hurt him. Ahh, also, good morning Min-chul." (Ha-neul)

'Ahhhh so lively today again. Well, it isn't really too annoying so I'll deal with it'

"Mornin' Do-yun, Chung-cha, Hana, Ha-neul."

"Ahhh, also, mornin' Anna"

"A-ah, good morning?" (Anna)

*chuckle* "hey, you're getting better at your Korean super fast, good job!"

"Heehee, thanks!" (Anna)

Those five I just greeted are the five people I've befriended and helped out in one way or another.

Park Do-yun, the first one to greet me, is one of my 'best-friends' so to speak. He's very popular in school due to the fact that he's quite the looker. Being 179 cm with black eyes, jet black hair and a clear face, he even modeled for a bit. He has that 'ikemen' vibe, as the Japanese say. Sort of an unreachable flower type boy.

Another reason he's pretty popular was because of one of his exes, a trainee named Sun-hee, just had her debut in a successful girl group called 'STARLIGHT'.

In my 9th year of high school at 14 years of age, my father set me up with her. It's too bad it didn't work out.

Though, on the bright side, around when I was 15, she became my friend-with-benefits and we took each other's virginities. On the down side though, she started dating Do-yun at around the time she became my friend-with-benefits. Soooo... I guess it isn't much of a downside for me but, looking at it from Do-yun's perspective, it's surely bad news.

She also helped my discover how to pleasure a woman properly and how to make them feel 'loved' in the bed so to speak. Needless to say, I guess I'm indebted to her.

Due to her being very curious about different things, we've tried many various things in the bed and in doing so, I've found out that I'm an 'S' while she's a 'switch' who prefers being an 'M'.

Don't worry, it took me a while to understand what that slang meant to.

Anyways, I digress.

The second one to greet me, Yang Chung-cha, has the most eccentric and lively personality. She has a light brown tan, is 165 cm tall with dyed brown hair, black eyes, a small mouth and a cute face. I believe the Japanese term would be 'gyaru'. She has C-cup breasts, completing her pillow-like look.

Compared to my height, 185 cm, she was around my chest and so when we finished having sex, she'd always ask for me to hug her tightly while she nuzzled herself in my chest and sniffed me like a dog.

She also changes her boyfriend countless times in a semester. I believe her record is 10 in a semester.

The reason she always calls me oppa despite Hana's and Anna's objection is purely to make fun of them. A true troublemaker at heart.

The third one, Lee Hana, is also very sociable to others and is immensely popular in and out of school due to her modeling for the well-known teen magazine 'Trend☆Setters'. Being 178 cm tall, having a clear and white face, perfect eyebrows, brown eyes and black hair. With B-cup breasts to complete the set, she has the perfect face and body to model.

I also know that she's in love with me. How do I know this, you ask.

Well, to answer your question, it probably started way back in middle school at around 8th grade where I met her and included her to my, at the time, new friend group.

She, at the time, was very different from the current lively and active her. She used to be a quite an unsociable creature who dwelled in the corner of the classroom without friends.

She later opened up to me about how one of the more popular girls, bullied, tormented her and physically abused her because that girl's boyfriend took a liking to Hana and left her to confess. Hana, the unsociable girl who didn't know how to react, rejected.

After that, the girl whose boyfriend left did everything in her power to bully and hurt Hana, well, until I stepped in.

Seeing her beauty after being partnered in a project, I decided that I should improve and 'empower' this woman, and so I did.

So now, in public, she is always talking loudly, laughing or teasing younger boys with her body. However...

Alone, especially with me, she's as docile as lamb and when praises fly her way, she'll accept it and be happier than a dog.

Come to think of it, she really is like a dog. She likes being spoiled with drinks and food from me, she likes strolling in the park with me and makes happy noises at head pats...

Anyway, the fourth one I greeted, Choi Ha-neul, is by far the most sensible out of the five. About 170 cm, she has a clean look with a symmetrical shape, slightly squishy cheeks, brown eyes, black hair and big, round glasses that only add to her beauty. Due to her D-cup breasts and big glasses, she gives off that 'library girl' vibe. She also has too much compassion for others in my opinion, almost to a point where it disgusts me.

Whatever, she's still useful as she has one major, major weakness. And that's she easily lets her friends go when they do wrong despite being the ex-president for student discipline and the current student council president. She has let me go for minor things like forgetting homework or skipping class so I usually avoid most punishments.

From my observations, she either has no one she likes, she likes me or she hides it very, very well. Not even me, who befriended her after setting up an event where I would save a 'bullied' kid. She then praised me for my good deed and we then hung out regularly after that.

She has stated many times that I'm her 'favorite' and 'bestest friend ever' to her parents when I asked her mom one time. Although, she never seems to say that to my face. Well, if a teenage girl were to call a teenage boy her 'favorite' to his face, I'm sure she'd be embarrassed so I don't bother with it.

I guess everyone has their own little secrets, though....

That doesn't mean I'll give up on finding out as much as possible about her.

Finally, the fifth one I greeted, is Anna Bennett.

Standing at 180 cm due to her foreign blood, platinum blonde hair, deep, blue eyes, long, blonde lashes and a squishy face. In my opinion, 11/10 no doubt. She also usually has a good fashion sense so, whenever we go out together we both become targets for model and idol scouts alike. I believe our record was being interrupted from our day 4 times in 3 hours.

But hey, despite being surrounded by all these beautiful people, I'm no slouch, if I may. Standing at 185 cm, jet black hair, blue eyes from my foreign mom, long lashes, a mole above my right eye, masculine face with a good jawline and eyebrows. I've heard many ratings, from my family and friends to noonas that range from '10/10' to '100/10'.

From her words, she's highly 'unsociable' to others, though she claims that it's because of the language barrier. From research and personal observations , I could tell that she lying straight through her teeth. She doesn't even flinch. Maybe, just maybe, I found another one. But obviously, I can't just bring it up with her as I have no idea how'd she react to me calling her out like that.

Anyways, it's definitely better to leave things as they are, me as the 'kind' and 'friendly boy-next-door' and her as the lying psychopath.

She came to the same high school as I at 11th grade and when she found out that I was the only 'pure' and 'kind' person to approach her without any malicious means, she took a liking to me.

Haaahh. Despite not feeling anything right now, I can't help but lose a bit of whatever soul I had when she mentions that.

Anyway, despite knowing her lies and 'deception', I can't help but feel nervous about her. Actually, despite me being exceptional at reading through lies, I only found out about her lies through pure luck. I still remember the excitement I felt when I recall that day...

(A.N) alright, alright I know I know, infodumps upon infodumps. I just wanted to get into the action very fast as I don't want to show the MC's life outside of the new world because it won't really matter. Again, sorry for the infodumps.
