Episode 14: Yes. I'm a Virgin. Is That a Problem? 

I realized once again, when I was held in that person's arms, that a person's true nature doesn't change. 

When I woke up, the space beside me felt empty. 

The spot that had been filled with warmth right before I fell asleep was now hollow. 

"Mina?" 

I rubbed my eyes and called her name, but only silence answered me. 

I wondered if she'd gone to wash up first, so I checked the bathroom, then the kitchen and other places. 

But Mina was nowhere to be found. 

It was as if she had vanished from the world overnight. 

At least the used condoms in the trash and the stains on the sheets proved that what happened last night wasn't a dream. 

"Huh?" 

I checked my phone-it was around 7 a.m. 

And there was a message from Mina about an hour earlier. 

-Senpai, something came up, so I'm leaving first. 

"What could she have going on so early on a weekend morning?" 

Of course, everyone has their own circumstances. 

But to leave someone you spent the night with, with nothing but a single message… 

"Sigh." 

No, maybe something really urgent came up. 

-Looks like something urgent came up. Get home safe. Let me know if you need anything. 

After writing and erasing my reply a few times, I finally sent it and tossed my phone onto the bed. 

I decided I'd call Mina later. 

For now- 

"Guess I'll go home." 

I gathered my clothes scattered on the floor and headed to the bathroom. 

No matter how much I tried not to think about it, rumors about Mina kept flashing through my mind as I washed up. 

Even as I left the motel, the little "1" next to the chat bubble didn't disappear. 

After leaving the motel and taking the subway back, I arrived in front of my villa around 9 a.m. 

The sunlight shone down on the shabby street lined with buildings. 

A leaf blown by the wind landed softly on a car parked in the dilapidated lot. 

"Oh, crap, groceries." 

Just before entering the building, I suddenly remembered the promise I'd made to Rizeta. 

Should I go buy them now? 

"…No." 

It's the weekend anyway, there's plenty of time. I'll just stop by home first. 

"Huh?" 

As I turned to head back toward the building, someone came out. 

A petite figure with black hair tied back. 

Wearing her usual tracksuit-my neighbor Jung Seung-ah, the college student who lives on the first floor. 

Maybe she's off to a part-time job on a weekend morning? 

"Ugh." 

But when she spotted me standing in front of the building, she immediately frowned, as if she'd seen something unpleasant. 

"What's with that?" 

Before I could make sense of it, she hurried past me and disappeared down the alley. 

We weren't exactly close, but we'd at least exchange greetings in passing. 

As I replayed Seung-ah's reaction in my mind, I found myself at my front door. 

"I'm home." 

As soon as I unlocked the door and stepped inside- 

"Welcome back." 

Instead of the usual silence, Rizeta greeted me at the entrance. 

Nice. 

"Rizeta, have you been well?" 

"Yes. Did you enjoy yourself last night, Hyunseong-nim?" 

"Well, of course I… Huh?" 

My hand stopped mid-motion as I was taking off my shoes. 

When I looked up, Rizeta's blue eyes were staring down at me. 

She looked the same as yesterday, but today her gaze felt colder-maybe it was just my imagination. 

"Uh, what do you mean last night?" 

"Child-nim told me. That you spent a wonderful night with your junior from work." 

"Ah…" 

It wasn't all night, though. 

Her eyes were too intimidating for me to protest. 

[You had no way to contact her, so I told her for you. You're welcome, right?] 

"What do you mean, told her? Don't tell me-" 

[I watched the whole thing. You getting chewed out by your boss, grinning when your junior flirted with you…] 

"…That's a violation of privacy." 

[The laws of this world don't concern me.] 

What a voyeur. 

"If you saw everything, why didn't you say anything?" 

[Why do you think? I didn't want to startle you.] 

How touching. 

You were probably just enjoying the show with popcorn. 

"Hyunseong-nim." 

"Yes." 

As I glared into the air, Rizeta called my name, and I instinctively straightened up. 

"Don't just stand there-come inside." 

"Yes." 

I followed Rizeta into the house without another word. 

I probably looked just like a husband coming home after staying out all night. 

"Oh." 

Once I reached the living room, I noticed changes I hadn't seen at the entrance. 

The floor and windows gleamed, and the air inside was fresh. 

"Did you clean, Rizeta?" 

"Yes. Cleaning is a basic skill for a maid. I had plenty of time, and it was a simple task, so it wasn't difficult." 

She answered matter-of-factly, reaching out her hand to me. 

"Please give me your coat and bag." 

"Ah, thank you." 

After taking my bag and coat, Rizeta walked toward my room. 

I watched her for a moment. 

"Rizeta, I'm sorry." 

She stopped in her tracks at my words, which I'd hesitated to say. 

"I don't understand why you're apologizing to me, Hyunseong-nim." 

"Um. I thought you might be angry." 

Rizeta, who'd been facing away, finally turned to look at me. 

"What made you think I was angry?" 

"It's just a feeling I had." 

"Well, your feeling is wrong." 

Her firm tone echoed through the house. 

"No matter where or with whom you spend your time, even if I'm left alone like an abandoned dog, I'm just a maid. I shouldn't have, and must not have, any complaints." 

Come on. Isn't it normal to get angry in that situation? 

"But it's still my fault for not making sure you had a way to contact me and leaving you alone." 

"As Child-nim said, I was already informed of the situation. So there's no need for you to apologize to me for that." 

Still, isn't it normal to get angry in that situation…? 

"And I forgot the groceries I promised to buy." 

"That's the same. Even if you broke a promise with your servant, there's no need for you to feel guilty." 

Rizeta's shoulders rose and fell as she spoke in rapid-fire succession. 

"Still, I was in the wrong." 

"…Was there something unclear in my explanation just now?" 

"No." 

I shook my head at Rizeta, frowning. 

I'd thought she was mechanical, but she could get angry too. 

At first, I thought I found her intimidating because I was awkward with women-she's also my type. 

But now I realized that, even if she didn't show it, I'd subconsciously felt some resistance toward her. 

On the outside, she's no different from a human. 

But she acts according to programmed knowledge and emotions. 

It's not that I dislike it, or think it's bad. 

If I hated it, I wouldn't have gotten aroused when she served me. 

It's just that… seeing her attitude now, I felt oddly reassured. 

She really does have her own feelings. 

"Rizeta, can you spend some time with me today?" 

"Time?" 

"Yes. I said I'd buy you clothes. Let's go today." 

"You must be tired after yesterday. You don't have to force yourself…" 

"No, I feel great. With this body, I'm fine. Let's go out around lunchtime after a little rest." 

I really needed a change of pace. 

"If you say so, Hyunseong-nim…" 

Rizeta nodded, a bit flustered. 

[Hey. What about possession?] 

Oh, right. 

"We'll put that on hold for now." 

You're in the doghouse, pal. 

[Heeey!!] 

Ugh, my head's going to explode. 

Around 11 a.m., I started looking for clothes for Rizeta to wear out. 

Walking around with a woman in a maid outfit would be too much. 

"I don't mind wearing this." 

"But I do." 

As I rummaged through my closet, I realized- 

"I really have no clothes." 

Even the ones I did have were all pretty much the same style. 

Might as well try something new while I'm buying clothes. 

No point in letting a good body go to waste. 

For now, I had Rizeta wear a long, unisex hoodie and sweatpants. 

Thanks to her figure, even basic clothes looked great on her. 

Especially since they were men's sizes, some parts were baggy, but certain areas really stood out… 

"Ahem." 

I cleared my throat to chase away lewd thoughts, grabbed my phone and wallet, and got ready to go out with Rizeta. 

"I'm heading out." 

[Hmph. Go or don't, whatever.] 

Really sulking. 

But even without Child, I couldn't just keep putting things off. 

These last couple of days had been a whirlwind, but I hadn't really done anything by my own will. 

I'd just been swept along as always. 

That can't go on. 

"By the way, Hyunseong-nim." 

Just as I was about to put on my shoes, Rizeta called my name. 

"Yes?" 

"Is there anyone living upstairs?" 

"Oh, no. No one's living on the 4th floor right now." 

My villa has four floors, and I live on the 3rd. 

The 4th floor has been vacant since the previous tenant moved out a few months ago. 

"I see. After you left for work, I went around to greet the neighbors, but there was no response from the 4th floor." 

So polite… 

Then I suddenly remembered the look Seung-ah gave me a few hours earlier. 

"Um, Rizeta?" 

"Yes?" 

"Did you meet the person on the 1st floor too?" 

Rizeta nodded firmly. 

"At first, she was wary, but when I said I was your maid, she kindly greeted me." 

"I see. Haha." 

Now I understood why Seung-ah looked at me that way. 

She probably thinks I dressed my girlfriend up in a maid costume and had her greet the neighbors. 

I think the person on the 2nd floor is an elderly man living alone. 

Haha. I'm screwed. 

I left the house with Rizeta, wondering how I'd face my neighbors from now on. 

There was still no reply from Mina. 

Rizeta and I headed to the I-Sang Department Store downtown. 

It's the only big department store in the city, so it's packed on weekends. 

"So this is what it looks like outside." 

Until we reached the department store, Rizeta looked around with childlike curiosity, taking in everything she saw. 

"How does it feel to be out like this?" 

"It's just as I'd read, but seeing it with my own eyes is different." 

Inside, the lobby was bright and spacious, filled with sunlight and artificial lights. 

As expected, the crisscrossing escalators were packed with people and carts. 

"Should we start with clothes?" 

"I'll go with whatever you decide, Hyunseong-nim." 

Rizeta answered formally, linking her arm through mine. 

Her ample chest pressed softly against me. 

"I feel like I might get lost if I don't hold on like this." 

"Well, yeah, I guess so." 

Come to think of it, this is basically a date, not just shopping. 

Feeling both awkward and excited, I headed to the clothing section. 

As I browsed unfamiliar racks, a store clerk approached. 

"Oh my, you two make such a handsome couple!" 

It was clear Rizeta's looks stood out, since everyone passing by kept glancing at her. 

"Your girlfriend could rival Yuna herself!" 

Even if it was just lip service, the clerk compared her to the country's most famous model. 

What kind of clothes did I put on someone like her? 

"Do you have anything besides these kinds of clothes?" 

Then, as she looked over the racks, Rizeta asked the clerk. 

"If you tell me what style you're looking for, I can help." 

"Whatever style the man likes best, please. Like a nurse or bunny girl…" 

Wait, what the hell. 

"E-excuse me?" 

"Sorry! She grew up in the countryside, so she's not used to places like this. Haha…" 

I hurriedly covered Rizeta's mouth. 

"Oh, I see. Hohoho…" 

The clerk tried to keep her composure despite my clumsy excuse. 

Thankfully, we weren't kicked out, but I had to endure the clerk's sharp glances for a while. 

Looks like Child didn't program her with much common sense. 

Once things settled down, we picked out clothes for both of us with the clerk's help. 

'With a face like that, she looks good in anything.' 

Every time Rizeta changed, the fitting room became her own runway. 

Watching her try on clothes, I finally understood why people spend so much time shopping. 

As we browsed other stores and checked out each other's outfits- 

"Hyunseong-nim, can I ask you something?" 

Rizeta's voice came from inside the fitting room as she tried on underwear. 

"W-what is it?" 

I was the only man in the lingerie section, so I automatically lowered my voice. 

"I think the clasp is stuck." 

"Oh, uh, so?" 

"I can't get it undone myself. Could you come in and help me, please?" 

"Me?" 

I looked around reflexively. 

Everyone was busy picking out underwear and didn't pay attention to me. 

The clerk who'd helped with sizing had gone to help other customers. 

Should I wait for the clerk, or go in myself? 

No question. 

"Okay. Just a second." 

After one last look around, I carefully opened the fitting room door and stepped inside. 

At that moment- 

"Wha?!" 

Rizeta pulled me in and pressed me against the wall. 

Her blue eyes shone in the dim light. 

Her lacy white underwear caught my eye. 

"R-Rizeta? The clasp…?" 

"That was a lie." 

"Why would you lie about that?" 

"Hyunseong-nim." 

Her deep voice tickled my ear. 

"Actually, ever since we left the house, something's been bothering me." 

"W-what is it?" 

"The way I acted when you came home today was inappropriate for a maid toward her master." 

"Inappropriate? I don't think it was that bad…" 

"No." 

Her sharp tone silenced me. 

"As you said, I was angry at the time. I don't know why. Whatever the reason, one thing is clear." 

Her slender hand gripping my wrist trembled. 

"It's a feeling a mere servant should never have toward her master." 

"I-I didn't mean it that way-ugh?!" 

How is she so strong? 

Even with my enhanced strength, I couldn't break her grip. 

"And not only did I let that feeling control me and offend my master, I even made you apologize." 

"T-that was entirely my fault…!" 

"You may feel that way, but I can't forgive myself." 

Then, Rizeta let go of my wrist and slowly backed up, placing her hands on the fitting room wall. 

She stuck out her full hips, clad in lacy underwear. 

"So please, punish your maid yourself for her disrespect." 

Her hands slid down her stomach and pushed her panties aside. 

Her plump labia were tightly closed and inviting. 

"A-are you serious? There are people outside, and you're…" 

"Yes. I'm a virgin. Is that a problem?" 

She asked so calmly that I was at a loss for words. 

Besides- 

Maybe because things ended unsatisfyingly yesterday, but my cock was already begging to be let out. 

Gulp. 

Unable to resist, I swallowed hard and placed my hands on Rizeta's hips. 

Her body heat began to rise under my palms.
