The cocktail bar buzzed with a lively atmosphere.
I sat across from Choi Aran, sipping my drink.
She kept smiling, clearly happy to be spending quality time together after a long while.
I enjoyed it too—not just because of our physical chemistry, but because our personalities matched so well.
As we laughed and talked, the conversation naturally shifted toward the future.
"So, are your business preparations going well? If you're in the United States, you'll probably need to be able to speak English."
"I'm still studying foreign languages these days. I'm trying a lot of different things, but it's more fun than I thought, so I think I'm improving quickly."
"Really? Then briefly introduce yourself. I'll listen to you."
Choi Aran knew that she could speak English as well as a native speaker.
As soon as I introduced myself in front of her, her eyes widened.
"W-what is it? Did you really start recently?"
"Well. If I had known, I would have moved to the United States a long time ago."
"That's amazing? Isn't my oppa a language genius or something?"
It was a natural reaction since she did not know the elixir.
Since I mastered language in less than a month, I can't help but be mistaken for a genius.
I shrugged my shoulders and gave a hesitant reply.
"Well, is it really that impressive?"
At that, Choi Aran immediately nodded, practically jumping in excitement.
"Of course! I even studied the language for several months!"
Then, her expression shifted to one of admiration, tinged with a hint of envy.
"Hmm. I knew it would be like this. It's just that my oppa doesn't study. Honestly, you're really smart. If you ask me, you're much better than others."
It was a little frustrating since I had used the power of the elixir to make up for my shortcomings.
But wasn't it better than looking clueless in front of my lover?
I smiled shyly, trying to downplay it.
"Ah, only Aran would say that. I just happened to pick it up a little faster."
But she shook her head and spoke seriously.
"Oppa, if you're like this, you could take a plane to the US tomorrow. Your pronunciation is almost like a native's."
"Huh, really? I feel a little embarrassed being praised like this. Haha."
"It's no joke. When you said you were thinking about doing business in the U.S., I thought it was just a dream, so I wanted to support you. But I didn't know you were preparing so passionately."
"Well, if you're in the adult business, the U.S. is the place to be. I really wanted to go there at least once."
"If the business goes well there, I can just relax, right?"
"To America?"
"Yes. With your language skills and talents, it's better to be based in a business hub."
I think she said it half-jokingly.
I felt it was a better offer than I thought.
Of course, if you are a Korean citizen, there are many restrictions even if you are in the United States.
Not to mention tax issues; if it's serious, I could be accused of being a criminal.
And above all, isn't the social perception different?
Even if I succeed in pornography in Korea, it was impossible to receive positive attention.
The United States was not an open place either.
Still, there was a senior called PornHub.
It wasn't a thorny road full of pain like in Korea.
"Is that really true? Wouldn't it be bad to live in America?"
As I seriously considered it, Choi Aran blinked as if she was slightly surprised.
I asked Choi Aran again.
"But will you be okay? If you are going to live with me, you have to leave Korea."
When I asked that, she timidly crossed her fingers.
"What? Oppa, will you live with me?"
"Of course. Where else can I find such a match made in heaven? What is the answer?"
"Hehe. If you go, of course I have to follow you. How can I meet a man other than you?"
She snuggled up next to me, hugging me as if she were happy.
Leaning her head on my shoulder, she asked, "So, have you made any specific plans? Regarding the business?"
"First, we'll definitely need to solve the vocabulary problem. After that, we'll find a business partner on the mainland. Lastly, we'll recruit our actress."
"Hmm, so it's an actress group. How many people do you think will follow?"
"Okay, how many people would be willing to join?"
I carefully thought about her question.
First, Aran was already confirmed.
If Park Chaerin was convinced even a little, she'll probably follow along.
As for the Idol team, she just needs to travel back and forth to Korea.
In that sense, Suah also had a high possibility.
Also, being able to speak English in the first place.
Since she was more familiar with American culture than I was, she must have been very interested.
But the real problem was the rest.
First, there was a high possibility that my mother-in-law would refuse.
Her maternal love for country was as deep as her relationship with me, so it wouldn't be easy to get her on a plane to the US.
Ryu Inah will also have restrictions on her actions due to her idol activities.
Unless she used the occasional trip as an excuse, her pornographic activities were close to impossible.
Then, the confirmed members were roughly divided into Choi Aran and An Suah.
Park Chaerin was also highly likely, so I guess there were roughly three people.
"Aran. Sua. And Park Chaerin. Is this what comes to mind right away?"
"Hmm? Park Chaerin? Who is that again? Was there someone like that?"
"She is the one you fought on the phone before? Don't you remember?"
When I asked her in a cautious tone, she nodded, as if she remembered.
"Ah. That person? Do you meet with that girl often?"
"Well, I guess we can say they are close. More than anything, she has a lot of potential as an actress. I really want to take her with me."
Park Chaerin was truly an all-rounder.
If it's anal, she was a bitch.
If it's shameful, she was a pervert.
Her range was so strong that even femdom content was possible.
She was the kind of talent who would do well in the West.
Choi Aran was lost in thought for a moment at my strong argument.
Then she nodded her head willingly and answered.
"Okay. If Oppa needs her, then so be it. I'll try my best to get along with her too."
"… Really? I know this because I've experienced it before, but she's also a temperamental bitch. Will you be okay?"
"Well, I'll have to rub it in well. If we both argue, you'll only be in trouble."
"Wow. Now you're even taking care of my mistress well? How can you be so perfect?"
When I hugged her and showed my affection in an exaggerated way, she pursed her lips as if she was embarrassed for no reason.
"So be nice to me. Don't just take care of other women."
"Well then. Where else can I find such a pretty, smart, and perfect woman? I'll do well from now on."
"Hmm. Anyway, so there are about three actresses? Do you have any business partners in mind?"
"No. Actually, I have no idea, so I have to find out everything from the beginning."
When I answered that calmly, Aran Choi smiled helplessly.
Then she touched her forehead and said, as if she couldn't believe me.
"Then I'll look into some good places."
"Huh? Are you for real? Do you have connections in the US?"
"Ha.. Of course, oppa. Since I know a lot of people, I'll try to arrange for you by nudging some people. Just trust me."
I really felt like I gained a thousand troops and a thousand horses from her assurances.
She has definitely been to a lot of overseas shows, so she must have made a lot of good connections.
After all, she would do much better than a native like me.
But I decided to put one condition on her.
That was to find me a female partner.
If possible, I wanted to control my partner according to my taste.
"Hmm. Try finding a woman? Well, it's not difficult. Is there a special reason?"
"It's a bit embarrassing to talk about porn with the guy."
"… Isn't it actually the opposite?"
"Your oppa is more comfortable with women. It's easy to get them on my side."
When I answered so vaguely, she seemed to have roughly understood it and smiled.
"Anyway, being good at sex is everything, isn't it? Now, are you going to treat business as a pillowcase?"
"Haha. Isn't a good thing a good thing? If the partner is satisfied, the business will go well."
"True. I understand. I will look for a very hot partner to suit your tastes."
In response to her cool response, I immediately cheered for national independence and showered her with kisses.
Choi Aran was definitely the only woman who listened to my foolish words like this.
* * *
That's how we ended our serious consultation about the future.
When I returned home, the day was already dawning.
When I arrived at the villa and got out of the car, I saw a familiar face.
Park Chaerin, who lives next door, was going to the convenience store dressed lightly.
When she saw me, she immediately raised her eyebrows.
Then she runs up to me and puts me in a headlock.
Her soft breasts were crushed against my face.
"Hey, you idiot. You met another girl. You decided to go on a date, but you didn't even contact me?"
I enjoyed the smell of Park Chaerin's cosmetics and set out to explain.
"Oh, no. I didn't say it because you were busy. I heard you made it to the finals."
"Huh? You know? But you didn't even send me a congratulatory message?"
She hugs my head and tries to smother me in her cleavage.
Since there was a significant difference in height, I ended up hesitantly falling into her arms.
"Puhha. Of course, I was going to send it. Ugh."
"But why didn't you send it? Huh? You have time to hang out with other women. Don't you have time to text?"
"Uhhuh... I was afraid it would disturb you during filming."
At that point, Park Chaerin released her headlock.
Then she suddenly extended her hand to me.
"Then, let's go on a date at a convenience store. Surely you won't turn this down?"
"…"
I was tired from fucking with Choi Aran all night, but I couldn't resist her request.
I thought it was better because I had something to say to her too.
I held her hand and walked toward her convenience store.
