Chapter 15

<Episode 16> Ah, I’ve seen this in Hitomi a lot…

The Slime was insistent that it should pounce on Young-hee.

What is this little guy even saying right now?

I’m just a lonely loser with no friends, not some criminal!

“Yo, dude. That’s something you do with someone you love.”

-Haaah… This kid’s too innocent. He’s got a full spread of rice and food right in front of him, and he’s just gonna pass it up?

“There’s no rice or food here, and nobody set anything up anyway.”

-Come on, man! Then why the hell are we at a hotel like this?!

That’s exactly what *I* want to know.

To begin with, Yu-jin never intended to come to the hotel.

He just asked Biseo Park for a place to rest, and ended up here.

Whether this was one of Biseo Park’s special 19+ recommended courses or if this was originally Yu-jin’s twisted preference, remains unclear.

Regardless, this wasn’t the intention when coming here.

“To begin with, Young-hee and I are just friends.”

-There’s no such thing as male-female friendships, goddammit! All those bastards talking about “friendship” should be thrown into the Pacific Ocean! Everyone who goes on private trips together is doomed—I mean it!

“Wait, do we really need to go that far?”

Slime’s ideology is way too extreme.

Considering he already stole a girl’s body and kissed her without permission.

“Even if we assume hypothetically that I liked Young-hee, would it be okay to take advantage of her while she’s unconscious? That’s straight-up a crime, isn’t it?”

-Ugh! If this were an adult game, you’d have scored ten times by now!

Hey, why are you looking so disappointed about that?

Yu-jin shook his head from side to side.

Well, the opponent isn’t human—it’s a monster.

It’s probably difficult to impose regular human logic on it.

“Listen, relationships like that need proper planning, mutual understanding, and responsibility—you only do them when you’re ready.”

-Ah, yeah, sure! You’re just bringing out your Confucian dragon teachings. For the heir of Hwagcheon to be so earnest is quite amusing, isn’t it?

Hwagcheon or whatever—this seems like a pretty normal perspective to me.

At least dragging an unconscious girl to a hotel and doing something like that deserves being treated like trash.

I may be a lonely loser, but I’m not trash!

At least I can confidently say I haven’t done anything bad enough to get scolded by King Yama in hell.

“Alright, let me just take a look around. This fancy hotel is new to me, so it’s kinda interesting.”

-The heir of Hwagcheon should’ve been to places like this before, right?

“Well, there’s a reason.”

Though he’s possessed this body for only a short time, there’s no need to explain that.

‘Why did things turn out like this? I don’t even know!’

Anyway, Yu-jin began wandering around the hotel room.

With such a spacious place, it’d be a shame to leave without exploring.

Sitting on the sofa first, his butt floated off it—it was so soft.

What kind of bed feels this plush?

This could easily double as a bed.

“Hmm, I want to watch TV, but Young-hee’s sleeping, so I guess I shouldn’t.”

-Ehem! She passed out due to my power, so she won’t wake up even if there’s a commotion.

“…Will she actually wake up properly?”

And why is this guy acting so smug after causing trouble?

I feel like taking a nap myself.

-Don’t worry. She’ll wake up on her own after some time has passed.

So, until then, I have to wait, huh?

Still, it’s inappropriate to turn on loud TV when someone’s sleeping.

Instead, he decided to check out other parts of the room.

He quietly observed a painting hanging there, whose purpose he couldn’t understand,

and looked outside through the large glass window.

“Whoa, the view is insane! It’s like…uh…awesome!”

-First of all, we know your vocabulary is lacking.

The height of the building makes the scenery breathtaking.

Though I didn’t usually notice it before, the atmosphere of the hotel makes everything seem luxurious.

“Hmm, it feels like I’m some billionaire.”

-It’s not just a feeling; you’re a billionaire no matter what anyone says.

“Oh, right. I sometimes forget.”

Indeed, the most extravagant feature was the bathroom.

It felt more like a personal bedroom than a bathroom.

There was even a window, allowing you to enjoy the view while washing.

You might worry about being seen from outside, but surely they’ve accounted for that.

The bathtub was so big that three people could fit comfortably inside.

-Of course, it’s designed for two to share.

“Why would multiple people share a bath?”

-Money and time aren’t issues here, so there’s no need to conserve water.

-Nah, it’s not about that…never mind.

The Slime started to say something but stopped.

What’s wrong with it?

“Anyway, I should try getting in.”

-Planning to clean yourself?

“It’s not necessary, but since I’m here, it’d be a waste not to. I was curious about the buttons on the tub anyway.”

While filling the tub, he decided to take a quick shower as well.

Hot water flowed immediately without needing to wait.

Somehow, the entire bathroom smelled fragrant, though he didn’t know how.

“Mmm, this is great!”

-You seem very comfortable.

“I hear that a lot!”

-Not a compliment.

Looking at himself in the mirror while washing, he saw a handsome figure emerge.

He couldn’t help but admire it internally.

Definitely, Yu-jin had good looks.

Not only that, his physique was impressive too.

His muscles were toned perfectly, and he even had abs at this age.

Even down there, it seemed muscular. Yeah, praise-worthy indeed.

No exaggeration—if he were a woman, he’d definitely fall for this appearance.

‘How did someone with these features end up as a lonely loser? At this level, popularity should cling to you even if you stand still, right?’

Seems like Yu-jin must’ve been pretty hopeless.

“Sigh, I guess I’ll have to help him out.”

-Whatever you mean, it sounds awfully condescending.

After cleaning thoroughly, he submerged himself in the bathtub.

Mmm, this must be paradise.

Thinking back, life has been a bit busy lately—making friends, reconciling with Chul-soo.

Since things turned out this way, today I’ll just relax completely.

It’s a shame I couldn’t hang out with Young-hee, but surely there will be another chance.

Next time, I’ll suggest it myself.

“Kyaa, this is nice. Honestly, I wondered why I came here, but now that I’ve tried it, it’s not bad.”

-Want to visit the lounge or the pool while you’re here?

“Eh? Nah, I don’t like crowded places.”

Though he dislikes crowds, he also finds using private facilities inconvenient.

Such fussiness is part of being a lonely loser.

-…Do you even know how much this place costs per night?

“Hmm? Since it’s expensive, probably around 1 million won, right?”

-Didn’t you know your secretary is covering all your expenses?

“Well, technically it’s our family money, but sure.”

-I feel like buying him something tasty.

Did Biseo Park grow on you?

Thought he was a bad monster, but now he’s acting so considerate.

“Mmm, if I lie down on this comfy bed, I might fall asleep right away.”

-Why not sneak a touch of her chest while you’re at it?

“Ah, no way!”

Yu-jin stepped out of the tub and put on the bathrobe.

It said the moisture would dry without needing a towel.

Wow, this is the power of modern civilization!

To think humans have become so lazy they don’t even want to use towels!

Humans are truly amazing!!

“Ah, I’m thirsty. Since this is an expensive hotel, maybe they have banana milk or something?”

-Haa, naive kid. Do you really think stuff like that would be here?

As the Slime said, the fridge didn’t contain much.

Just some mysterious liquid of unknown origin.

“Ugh, Af… Aphrodisiac? What’s this? Never heard of such a word. No explanation either.”

Whatever it is, it must be safe if it’s in a hotel, right?

When he opened the bottle, a sweet scent wafted out, making it look quite appetizing.

In the mood for fun, Yu-jin poured the red liquid into a wine glass on the table and sat down in a chair.

Taking the opportunity, he swirled the glass and crossed his legs.

“Hehe, how do I look? Kinda billionaire-esque, right?”

-Dumbass.

Just as he was enjoying the moment, ignoring the slime’s insult—

Ding.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

Approaching it, he saw Biseo Park on the screen with a serious expression.

Aw, I was just enjoying some downtime.

“Master, may I disturb you for a moment?”

Yu-jin blinked at the various buttons on the bell system.

“How do I answer this thing?”

-Should I know?

Fumbling with the buttons didn’t work, so he simply opened the door.

Sure, it’s fine since it’s Biseo Park, even though he’s in a robe.

But when he opened it, there weren’t just one or two people.

Startled, his voice dropped.

“…What is this?”

Biseo Park glanced at Yu-jin’s attire and bit his lip.

He clearly felt like he interrupted something important.

Interrupting Master’s grand event—unacceptable for a secretary.

Of course, there’s a big gap between what he imagined and the actual situation.

Misinterpreting the scenario entirely, Biseo Park bowed deeply.

“My apologies. I thought this was urgent, but perhaps it’s better this way.”

“Ahh, it’s fine. What’s up?”

“Thank you for understanding! Bring him in!”

People parted ways, and someone was dragged in.

It was a person with both arms tightly held by others, panting heavily.

His face was covered in big and small wounds.

Not only that, his body was dirtied everywhere.

Clearly, he had been involved in a fierce fight.

However, he showed no signs of defeat.

On the contrary, his eyes glared at Yu-jin with venomous intensity.

If the men holding his arms weren’t exerting their full strength, he would’ve lunged forward immediately.

His gaze was so filled with malice that it seemed he could kill someone at any moment.

Overflowing with rage.

Most surprisingly, Yu-jin recognized him.

“Kim Yu-jin! I’ll never forgive you!”

It was Chul-soo.

‘Wait, why is he here?’

Yu-jin blinked repeatedly, staring at his friend in front of him.
