Chapter 99 Erotic Game-Style Treatment (1)
Having barely escaped Winterer’s attack.
Yu-jin was now hit directly by Ryu Soo-yeon’s declaration of “I’m not wearing underwear.”
His eyes drifted toward her chest.
‘Well, with clothes that tight, normal underwear wouldn’t work… But why tell me?’
He understood she wasn’t wearing underwear.
But telling a man like him seemed too casual.
Even if he was her daughter’s savior, there had to be limits.
No, and to suggest kissing like a couple?
Unless she had feelings for him, she wouldn’t say such things.
‘Could it be that she likes me…?’
-Ding!
[The skill ‘Complete Hypnosis’ cheerfully recites the owner’s collection of embarrassing memories.]
‘…There’s no way she likes someone like me, right? She must be sick of remarriage and all that.’
Besides, who was Ryu Soo-yeon?
Before regression, she was a woman who lived alone despite many suitors, saying she was done with men.
She was, in a way, a flower on a cliff.
For someone like her to love him and openly seduce him?
It was unbelievable.
At least to Yu-jin, it was.
‘Then this is…’
-Glance.
‘Aha, she’s teasing me, isn’t she?’
After organizing his thoughts, he reached a conclusion.
Ah, Soo-yeon noona is trying to tease me!
Wow, is this how married women joke? It’s intense.
Yu-jin could only sigh deeply with his flushed face.
“Hoohoot.”
‘As expected, Yu-jin. So full of vitality.’
However, contrary to Yu-jin’s thoughts.
Ryu Soo-yeon had other intentions.
His unstable mental state had stabilized since his enrollment.
Presumably, it was because he had met someone he loved.
But which one of those three was it?
She needed to know to do something.
…Shall I test a bit?
[There’s nothing to take off since I’m not wearing underwear.]
[Wh-Wh-What are you saying, noona!!?]
-Glance.
‘A momentary glance at the chest. Pupil dilation and hyperventilation….’
That was why Soo-yeon teased Yu-jin with such an embarrassing prank.
Before being an awakened one, she was a very capable doctor.
She could tell a lot just by observing physical reactions.
The pupil dilation and hyperventilation after hearing her words, the movement of his nostrils, etc.
As a doctor, it was clear he was in a state of excitement.
A glint passed through her eyes.
‘Hm. Yu Shia is not the one, then. One down.’
Judging by his reaction, he didn’t seem to have a preference for flat chests. It wasn’t about money, either.
At least, Yu Shia wasn’t the one.
Though she’s pretty and charming with good conditions…
The counterpart wasn’t right. Unfortunately.
‘Now there are two left. From here, I’ll have to test them not as a doctor but as a woman, Ryu Soo-yeon.’
-Smile.
“What’s wrong? Don’t you like it?”
While Shia unknowingly added another loss to her record.
The conversation’s arrow turned back to Yu-jin.
The decent young man’s head hung low.
‘This kind of joke is troublesome. If my wives find out, oh dear.’
-Gulp.
“Please don’t joke around. I’m already tired because of that guy, and if noona does this too, I’ll be really exhausted.”
“Hoohoot. Does it seem like a joke?”
“Of course. There’s no way noona would seriously do that to someone like me….”
“Ah, it’s a joke. A fire joke.”
Despite that, the relentless attack continued.
Her voice, full of mischief, was clearly teasing, but…
That alone was enough.
It was enough to achieve what Soo-yeon wanted.
‘Why do you keep doing this? I need to put a stop to it….’
-Suddenly.
“———Yu-jin, do you perhaps like Alice?”
“……!!!?”
Yu-jin’s head shot up.
The one who had been teasing suddenly hit the mark.
He was genuinely shocked.
It was just as Soo-yeon planned.
‘Really, Yu-jin is so easy to read.’
With Shia out of the candidate pool, there were two left.
Alice Littlewood and Ninomiya Aika.
Hmm. Shall I randomly guess one to surprise him?
If I hit the mark, he’ll be shocked, so it’s the answer.
If not, he’ll ask what I mean, and the remaining one will be the answer.
‘Debating between the two, I chose the peer, Alice. So, Yu-jin prefers young women, huh? Over a thirty-two-year-old like me.’
-Smile.
A slightly bitter smile appeared on her lips.
Though she knew it in her head, it hit her hard that the wall of being thirty-two was thick.
Being three years older made her feel a bit shabby.
…Of course, Yu-jin loved all three equally.
Even if she had mentioned Ninomiya first, the reaction would have been the same.
Then Soo-yeon’s smile might have been a little different.
But unfortunately, that didn’t happen.
The self-deprecating smile quickly turned into a mischievous grin.
“Yu-jin, you’re too obvious~ If you show it so clearly after a little tease, Alice will find out soon.”
“W-What do you mean?”
“What? Dduk? Do you have someone you like?”
Winterer, who had been quietly watching, also joined in belatedly.
No way, does this dduk have someone he likes?
“Then what about our Haru’s rice cake?”
“Who is this Alice that made you leave Haru alone?”
“Ha, this is ridiculous. Your taste in women is as bad as a rice cake.”
Winterer asked with eyes burning with curiosity.
“Well, you see, Alice is, um, that, over there.”
“I said, who is she? Besides Seol Ha-yeon and that insanely strong rice cake, is there another woman!?”
“Ms. Winterer, please don’t be so angry. Yu-jin is free to like whoever he wants, isn’t he?”
“……”
Thanks to that, Yu-jin found himself in a tight spot. Trapped between two women, he could only open and close his mouth. His vision swam.
‘It can’t be helped that they found out… But if the other two find out, it will be a disaster.’
So what if they found out he liked Alice? It’s not like the person in question found out, so what does it matter if others knew? He could just ask them to keep it a secret. He could manage this much with hypnosis.
The problem was that Alice wasn’t the only one he liked.
Wasn’t Yu-jin someone who liked three people equally? If sharp-eyed Soo-yeon found out?
Oh my. This is really trashy of you, Yu-jin. I should quickly let all three of them know.
There was a possibility of this happening. That was why Yu-jin couldn’t open his mouth carelessly.
‘The opponent is a married woman. Soo-yeon noona is someone on my level of experience. If I show any gap, she’ll notice….’
-Gulp.
‘It can’t be helped. I have no choice but to focus their attention on Alice for now.’
But that was only for a moment. Yu-jin steeled himself. To hide his love for his wives…
Paradoxically, he resolved to reveal his love to the world.
“Yu-jin, don’t you think so too? There’s no sin in love…”
“Yes. I like her. I like Alice.”
“……Oh my?”
“She’s the most lovable, cute, and pure person in the world. How could I not love her? I love her more than anyone in the world.”
A confession slipped through his lips. Raw emotions that hadn’t been refined.
The expressions of the two women turned to one of shock.
“Rice cake. Who exactly is Alice?”
“Alice is, you know, someone who always tells me I’m amazing. Every time she praises me, my heart flutters, and I want to try harder to look even cooler. She’s that kind of person.”
“Yu-jin…”
“If it wasn’t for Alice, I would have run away a long time ago. I would have disappeared, crushed by expectations. It’s thanks to Alice that I’ve been able to do all these things until now.”
Ignoring everything, Yu-jin continued to speak. Expressing his honest feelings, enough to make the listeners embarrassed. For a full ten minutes without stopping.
“Alice is my light, my love, my everything….”
It might have sounded like mere fancy words.
But the heat, the sincerity, the love within them, clearly conveyed that there wasn’t a shred of falsehood.
The faces of the two women gradually reddened. Their romance cells were thoroughly stimulated.
“I, I see…”
‘Yu-jin, how can you say such things so calmly? I’m getting embarrassed just listening….’
‘What’s so great about love that he says all that? Why is my heart pounding like this?’
The two women became suddenly quiet.
It was just as Yu-jin had planned.
‘Hehe. If I make a big fuss like this, they’ll think I’m solely devoted to Alice from now on.’
-Wink.
“Can you keep it a secret? Both Soo-yeon noona and Winterer.”
-Ding.
[Skill ‘Complete Hypnosis’ sends a cute wink!]
“Y-yes. If the rice cake says so….”
“Of course, I was going to keep it a secret anyway….”
They both felt it was unfair for him to look like that.

That evening.
“Hello. Ms. Alice Littlewood.”
“…Who are you?”
In the dim infirmary, Alice asked with a tense expression. And then,
“I am Ryu Soo-yeon, an A-rank Awakened. I’ve been assigned as a temporary professor and health teacher at Pentagon Academy starting today.”
“…Ryu, Ryu Soo-yeon? The Angel in White, Ryu Soo-yeon!?”
“Oh my. You know me. I thought only the chairman would know me, and that foreigners wouldn’t be interested in someone like me.”
“How could I not know! Oh my god. The Angel in White is a health teacher. I knew coming to Korea was the right choice….”
Along with the shocking news that Ryu Soo-yeon had been appointed as a health teacher,
“I’ll get straight to the point, Ms. Alice. Please cooperate in Yu-jin’s treatment.”
“What? Treatment? I don’t know anything about that… No, is Yu-jin sick!?”
“Yes. Due to confidentiality, I can’t tell you, but Yu-jin is a patient. A severe one at that.”
“I’ll help with anything!! As long as I can do it!!”
Alice heard about Yu-jin’s pain,
“But what should I do….”
“Could you hold Yu-jin to your chest, so that his face is buried in it, very tightly.”
“What?”
“Hmm. Was that difficult for a foreigner? Draw him close to your chest, cradling his head gently.”
“…The language wasn’t the issue in understanding!!”
A somewhat misguided treatment method was suggested.
