Mina realized that her sex drive and slightly desparate need for money have driven her to things that she never imagined herself doing. Meeting Chaeyoung just changed her mind. And what was going to happen to them when the attraction between the two was eminent?
“Hey, Mina,” Lisa suddenly called to her.
Mina was busy wiping one of the glasses with a dry washcloth, not wanting to pay attention to anyone until customers came in but Lisa was so close to her that she couldn’t ignore it. She turned to look at her friend, trying her best to keep a straight face. “Yeah?”
Lisa smiled widely, which Mina had a feeling wasn’t good. “I have a friend who’s willing to pay a good amount of money to help her out with a filming project. She’s looking for an actress and my friend said it was legit,” Lisa explained, then raised her brow. “Are you interested?”
Right.
She honestly wished she didn’t tell Lisa about her money problems while they were drunk on Jell-O shots, and she was feeling extremely depressed because of the amount of bills she has to pay on her own.
The weed didn’t help either. God, Mina seriously needed to keep herself in check.
But still, even if she was trying her best to shoulder her finances on her own so her parents wouldn’t worry, she still had her dignity. Finding ways to earn money should at least save her self-respect.
“Who is this person?” Mina asked the first important question in her head.
That was a harmless question, and she was also devilishly curious.
“Son Chaeyoung, filming major,” Lisa stated, taking someone’s order quickly, grabbing a beer mug from underneath the booth to pour the drink into it. After serving it to the customer, and them leaving, she turned back to face Mina. “Rosie used to drink and smoke up with her during parties, but Chaeyoung has been busy with this project thing, so they don’t do it anymore.”
Mina remembered Rosie. Petite, blonde, hot. Out of her league, but a perfect kisser. Plus, Mina remembered clearly how they fucked inside of Lisa’s bedroom that one party they attended. She couldn’t remember the details.
But with that bit of information, her curiosity piqued.
“Is it safe?” she asked again, still trying to keep it safe.
Lisa shrugged. “It wouldn’t be the first time.” Her friend then took the wash cloth from her back pocket and started wiping the booth again. “She told us that she’s done about a handful of videos already and I’ve watched some. Pretty fucking good.”
That made Mina hesitate again. She knew exactly what this was. And who would even believe that anyone would be interested in making homemade movies?
Music videos, maybe she would believe in. But students getting paid to be a part of a homemade video? This entire thing screamed porno.
Mina was broke and in desperate need of money. But she wasn’t dumb to not know the context. But maybe she should wait until Lisa told her so. She could be assuming things.
She pursed her lips, making sure her friend could sense the hesitation. “I have… so many questions.”
Instead, Lisa shrugged playfully, eyes still glued to her task. “I know. And I feel like you’ll say no.”
Okay?
That didn’t make sense. “Then why offer it to me?”
Lisa finally finished cleaning the booth and then planted her knuckle on the side of her hip. “Girl, cause it’s good money,” she then shook her head, leaning closer. “Rosie told me that Chaeyoung is getting paid a lot of money just to film these videos, and the actresses get paid an insane amount as well.”
God, she hated how this was making her curious. She was biting onto the bait. Mina raised a brow. “Like how much?”
“Enough for you to not worry about anything for a whole semester,” Lisa responded, a sly look on her face.
She blinked, flabbergasted. “That’s a lot of money.”
Then again, if it was porn, people should be paid a big amount of money. But how? They were just students?
Lisa wiggled her finger, leaning onto the counter behind them. “Exactly.” They were now watching the amount of students entering the bar, walking directly to booths and the waiters and waitresses getting their orders. Lisa then turned to face her again, poking her cheek. “Plus, you have a pretty face, I think you’d be perfect for it.”
That made Mina scoff. “Really now?”
Her friend nodded confidently. “And I think you’re gonna have fun as well.”
She was definitely curious now. “Why is that?”
Again, Lisa just shrugged. “I think it’s fun.”
Mina gave her a look, wishing that Lisa would do anything else but just shrug at her.
She raised a brow. “Have you tried it?”
Her friend shook her head. “No. I watched her film once. Because Minnie was part of it and it was super interesting.”
Of course. She wasn’t surprised Minnie got involved. But from her knowledge, Mina knew how sexually active their other friend was. Minnie came back to their dorm from a hook up and asked Mina to make her dinner and her friend just went off how the girl she hooked up with had the fattest dick ever and that her mouth was still sore.
This was definitely porn.
Mina finally faced Lisa, hands on her hips. “Okay, how about you stop beating around the bush and just say that this is porn.”
Lisa sighed and did the same, copying her expression but a little more playful than anything. “Well if I just blurted it out, would you have stayed to listen?”
Mina opened her mouth to counter, but it hung open and her mind went blank. She then shook her head and her hand at Lisa. “Fair point.”
“I told you,” she responded with a shrug and that made Mina purse her lips.
But still. There were a lot of things that were screaming ‘bad’ regarding this deal Lisa was offering her.
Because sure, Mina was confident with herself, she was flirty, she had a nice body, her sex drive tended to go over the roof on certain days when she didn’t feel like a homebody.
She hesitated. “I don’t know. I’ve never—“
“Girl, you fucked three people in one night during that freshman party Jackson hosted. You can’t say you’re shy or some shit,” Lisa interrupted her, and she wanted to argue but she couldn’t. Because everything her friend said was true and it made sense.
“I meant in front of a camera,” she replied, still wanting to defend herself. “Those were different because I was a horny college student who was drunk every Friday night.”
“Yeah but think about it,” Lisa immediately interjected, then placed her finger out one by one. “You love sex, and you need money and I’m friends with the people who worked with Chaeyoung before, they said it was totally worth it and you get money.”
Mina raised a brow, unamused. “You said money twice.”
“Just so you know that I care about your needs.” Lisa then raised both her hands in front of her. “Look, I’m not getting a no from you. But it’s okay to hesitate. If you’re interested, you can call this number—“ she then reached into her pocket and took out a calling card, handing it to Mina. “But if you’re shy, because I know you still are, then I can arrange the meeting for you.”
She stared at the calling card for a moment. Thinking and thinking and thinking. Should she do it? Should she take the bait? If it was a scam then this would have played differently, right? And it was coming from Lisa, they were close friends since middle school, she wouldn’t let Mina be in any kind of danger.
Still with slight hesitation, Mina finally took the card, flipped it over to read briefly and looked back up to her friend. “I’m not going to regret this, am I?”
