Chapter 44 — In a Pornwha?

Chapter 44: Chapter 44 — In a Pornwha?

Weaving through the bustling crowd near the entrance—with Arthur politely excusing himself as people brushed past—they finally made their way into the auditorium seating.

Arthur settled into a plush red seat, letting out a soft sigh as he placed his bag of popcorn beside him and held his drink.

Looking around, he noticed the rows filling up fast.

"There are so many people here, the club seems to be very popular," he remarked, glancing up at the packed rows.

Before he could adjust, Sadie didn’t bother looking for an empty seat next to him; instead, she straddled his lap, sinking her weight right down onto his thighs.

Arthur let out a surprised grunt, his hands instinctively catching her hips to steady her as she settled comfortably over his crotch.

She leaned in close, pressing her soft chest against his as she looked up at him with adoring, obedient eyes.

With a mischievous yet deeply submissive grin, she whispered.

"There aren’t enough seats left, so I have to share yours, master... Is it alright if I sit like this? I promise to be a very good girl for you."

Arthur chuckled, running a hand through her hair at her antics, and wrapped an arm securely around her waist to hold her close.

"You really do find any excuse to climb all over me, don’t you?" he teased softly.

"Only for you, master," Sadie murmured back, her voice laced with complete devotion.

"I only want to be close to you... May I feed you some of the popcorn while we wait?"

"Go ahead," Arthur permitted with a amused smile.

Sadie eagerly scooped up a few kernels with her fingertips, bringing them to his lips with a sweet smile.

"Say ah, master..."

She whispered softly, making sure he ate right out of her hand.

With his other hand, he took a sip through the straw while she tended to him, mentally tallying up the cost.

"Coke & popcorn cost me $6. A bit too costly... Well, the play is free, so I guess it evens out," he thought, before taking another sip and blinking in surprise.

"Oh, shit, this is Coke Zero!"

"Is something wrong, master?" Sadie asked tilt-headed, her eyes wide with innocent concern.

"Do you not like the drink? Should I go buy you a different one right now?"

"Nah, it’s fine, just got surprised," Arthur replied, shaking his head.

Leaning back in his seat with Sadie warm and heavy against his lap, his thoughts drifted back to the girls running the promotion.

"The girl guides were pretty too... It’s as if all the beauties in the university are in my department..."

"Do those girls catch your eye, master?"

Sadie whispered, her tone turning slightly needy and breathless as she pressed herself closer to him.

"Do you want me to do something special to relieve you again?"

Feeling Sadie subtly grind her hips against him as she got comfortable and sought his attention, Arthur bit back a groan.

"Behave yourself, or you’ll get punished later," he warned in a low murmur.

"Yes, master... punish me however you like later," she breathed obediently, a flush of excitement coloring her cheeks.

Noticing the time drawing closer to the 3 PM start, Arthur turned his head away from her distracting curves to observe the steadily growing crowd pouring into the hall.

"Oh, looks like it’s starting," Arthur murmured, shifting slightly as the auditorium lights dimmed.

Sadie blinked up at him obediently, resting her hands on his chest as she adjusted herself on his lap.

"Is it beginning, master? Should I be quiet now?"

"Yeah, just watch," Arthur replied, though his mind suddenly slammed to a halt.

As a stunning, long-haired woman stepped onto the stage under the bright lights, fixing her hair with an effortless grace, a heavy wave of realization hit him.

"Wow... she is much prettier than the other members of the club,"

Arthur thought, his eyes widening as he stared at the woman standing before the crowd.

"Hello everyone! Nice to meet you all, my name is Han Nari, I am the president of the theater and film club of Seoul

University!"

The club president announced into the microphone with a bright, welcoming smile.

The woman on stage—and the red-haired club member, the professor from earlier, even the lead actress—none of them were just ordinary people he happened to cross paths with.

The pieces finally snapped together in his head.

They were characters from Circles, a Korean pornwha he had read in his past life, details of which he somehow still remembered down to the last page.

"The president is really beautiful," Sadie on his lap whispered.

Han Nari, the club president, was a stunning and elegant woman with long, flowing grayish hair and refined, confident facial features.

She possesses a striking, curvaceous hourglass figure with a generous bust, and she is dressed professionally in a fitted long-sleeved white button-down shirt paired with a short dark skirt and black high heels.

"Well, I hope everyone enjoys our play today—have fun and thank you again for coming!" Han Nari said as applause echoed through the auditorium.

"Cool~"

Arthur clapped along, holding his popcorn bag with one hand while Sadie leaned against him, watching the stage intently.

Around them, audience members shouted out, with one enthusiastic student calling, "President, you are extremely beautiful!!!"

Meanwhile, Arthur scanned his gaze around the packed auditorium, wondering if he could spot the original main character of the pornwha.

Having quite liked the original protagonist—viewing him as one of the more likable main characters in the pornwha genre—he figured that while he would still go after the girls, he could leave a particular favorite alone and choose not to mess with her.

However, after failing to spot him anywhere in the theater, he decided to brush it off for now and pushed the thought to the back of his mind.

As the heavy red curtains parted on stage, a new scene unfolded, drawing the attention of everyone in the auditorium.

"Ooh... Act 1 has begun—" Arthur whispered under his breath, leaning forward slightly while keeping his arm securely around Sadie.

On stage, the purple-haired character interacted with fellow actors under the bright lights.

The story on stage progressed as a male character lay sick in bed, coughing weakly under the covers.

The purple-haired character, introduced in the narrative as Seo-young, stepped into the room carrying a gift bag.

"I’m here, sunbae..." Seo-young spoke softly, dropping to her knees by his bedside with a concerned expression.

"How are you feeling?" she asked gently, her posture submissive and attentive.

The sick male character stirred, looking up in mild surprise.

"Seo-young, you came?" he managed through a shiver and a cough.

"Sunbae, is there anything else I can help you with?"

Seo-young pressed on, clutching her chest earnestly in her pink dress.

"You don’t have to speak so formally with me. I’m fine with you talking to me comfortably," the male character replied, offering a tired, reassuring look.

Watching the dynamic play out on stage, Arthur couldn’t help but be completely immersed in the performance.

Later, as he had entirely expected, the scene progressed just like the original webtoon.

The female lead’s bra-clad breasts were dramatically revealed on stage as her pink dress was torn.

Given the masochistic, heightened nature of this world.

Arthur initially figured she wouldn’t mind the exposure at all, expecting her to welcome it with a lewd, submissive smile.

However, watching her actual expression of resistance and genuine distress on stage proved that wasn’t the case at all.

Instead of taking it as a sexual thrill, she viewed it purely as a disgrace to her craft and an act of absolute humiliation.

He knew from the general social rules of this world that unless a master explicitly ordered it, walking around naked or exposing one’s bare body in public was deeply frowned upon and met with immediate disgust.
