Chapter 109

At dawn, Han Min-ha would sneak out of the room after peppering Professor Hyun’s cheek and lips with countless kisses while he slept.

She would quietly tiptoe to the third floor, slipping into her own room, only to emerge later with a casual yawn as the morning sun rose.

The first time it happened with Professor, the contraceptive broke, leading to an accidental moment inside.

Back then, Han Min-ha would constantly stand on her hands, thinking it would help the professor’s child inside her travel faster into her body.

She also diligently massaged her stomach, not really knowing why but believing something good would come of it.

But now, it’s become a little harder.

Professor is thorough about contraception now. When the tools ran out, he even went out and bought an entire box.

He resisted all kinds of sweet-talking and temptations, the kind that suggested doing it raw or finishing by pulling out.

Professor stood firm, probably due to his mental barrier.

Well, it must be bothersome for him too, considering he’s a respected academy professor and she’s a clueless young student trying to get pregnant haphazardly.

Hehe… better not make things harder for Professor.

Not just Han Min-ha but Yu Hye-won too was putting on a superhuman effort not to inconvenience the professor.

Since Professor Hyun moved in, Yu Hye-won has never met with him privately.

Even though Professor Hyun was just a floor down, in a guest room equipped with a bed and shower, she restrained herself.

She did so to cut off any possibility of accidents should they end up alone in the same room.

Yu Hye-won knew if she entered Professor Hyun’s room, given they’d already kissed, one or both of them would likely pounce.

The problem was, she was underage, Song Do-yoon was in the next room, and Han Min-ha was on the opposite side.

Song Do-yoon, who doesn’t have a good relationship with Han Min-ha and whose nature is as sneaky as a snake, might find some way to exploit the situation.

Would Song Do-yoon let something this juicy—an academy professor involved with a minor—go unnoticed?

Then there’s Han Min-ha.

That big-breasted fool likes the professor. What if she found out about something happening between him and me?

It’s not like I want Han Min-ha to get hurt or for our relationship to sour.

Professor would feel the same. Would this uptight man, with his rigid mental barrier, still be able to guide us properly if he crossed that line with an underage guidance student?

I don’t know. It’s uncertain.

And above all, I might risk him seeing me as some cheap rag who spreads her legs so easily before marriage.

Surprisingly, Yu Hye-won’s a proponent of premarital chastity—though not absolute. She believes it’s better to give her first time to someone she marries.

But she’d already given the professor her first kiss.

Ah, kissing is fine. Yes, kissing is okay.

So, Yu Hye-won is at the stage where she rationalizes that marriage to Professor Hyun is inevitable at this point.

Wait, would it still count if I were to… lose it from the back?

No no, you idiot. What nonsense are you thinking?

Having considered all of these things, Yu Hye-won concluded that enduring for a few more days would let her avoid trouble.

Despite her reputation for being rough and disrespectful, Yu Hye-won is sharp and logical.

And so, she spent yet another night with her blankets clenched in her teeth, scrolling through the secret photos of Professor Hyun she’d taken on her phone, fighting her urges.

Her thighs itched, tempting her hands to touch, but she restrained herself, wanting to save her purity intact.

Behaving in ways to console or distract herself felt like partially compromising her virginity too.

“Haa…”

Tossing and turning restlessly, Yu Hye-won sighed deeply and got up from the bed.

A glass of cold water should help. Otherwise, I won’t be able to hold out.

Just as she stepped out, Han Min-ha was emerging from her room.

“Eek?! Hye-won?!”

“What? Why the heck are you so shocked?”

Han Min-ha flailed, twisting her body awkwardly.

“Why are you out here?”

“Am I not allowed to move around my own house?”

“Haha, never mind then… see ya.”

With a hesitant wave, Han Min-ha scurried back to her room.

“What’s wrong with that dumb girl?”

Taking a gulp of cold water, Yu Hye-won leaned against the table in contemplation.

They had to return to the academy soon, which meant almost three months back in dorms.

Thus, today might actually be the last chance to freely enter Professor Hyun’s bed before that…

What should I do…?

Anyway, I’m already 70% considering marrying the professor, so why not just do it?

No… I might get beaten to death by Dad.

He’d likely view an academy professor as beneath him.

He wouldn’t tolerate his only daughter marrying such a mediocre man.

I should graduate, try to become an S-Ranked Hero as quickly as possible to gain Dad’s respect, then bring it up.

Or, if that doesn’t work, I’ll simply decide and inform everyone unilaterally.

A year. Let’s hold out for just one more year.

“Huff…”

Lost in thought, Yu Hye-won glanced down and realized she was damp despite not touching herself.

Ugh, I need to clean up.

Retreating to her room, Yu Hye-won entered the bathroom. When she’d stepped in, Han Min-ha’s door slightly opened.

With her head peeking out, Han Min-ha silently scanned the dark corridor.

Upon confirming the shower was on in Yu Hye-won’s room, Han Min-ha finally stepped out.

“Sorry, Hye-won. I’m going first.”

I’m an adult, so there’s no issue…

With her heart pounding and a quickened pace, Han Min-ha passed Yu Hye-won’s room and headed down the stairs.

I’ll make sure to satisfy the professor well today, hehe.

* * * * *

The new semester was just a day away.

With all their luggage loaded into the trunk of my car, the students were ready to return to the academy.

As expected, the secretary arrived to see us off. The chairman of the advisory board was already at work early in the morning, and Yu Hye-won’s mother had yet to return from overseas headquarters.

“Goodbye, Professor. Please visit again next vacation.”

The secretary’s smile prompted Yu Hye-won to glare, mocking with a scornful laugh.

“Auntie, enough already.”

“Why are you reacting like that? You enjoyed having the professor around, didn’t you?”

“Ugh.”

Unable to retort against the secretary who’d cared for her since childhood, Yu Hye-won turned away.

“Well then, let’s all get in the car. Let’s return to the academy.”

“Okay.”

About to take the front seat naturally, Yu Hye-won eyed Han Min-ha suspiciously.

“What’s up with you?”

Han Min-ha, whose legs were trembling from last night’s exertion, struggled to walk properly.

Because of their last night, things had been more intense than usual.

“What, what?”

“Why are you behaving like a sick chicken?”

“Uh, nothing…”

Song Do-yoon, who likely hadn’t slept well due to their noise, gave icy looks alternately to Han Min-ha and me before getting in the car. His dark circles hinted at a restless night.

“Seriously, what’s wrong with you two?”

Unsurprisingly, none of us responded to Yu Hye-won’s interrogation.

We arrived back at the academy around the student check-in time of three in the afternoon, passing through the main gate guard post before heading to the dorms.

As I helped unload their luggage from the trunk, Han Min-ha lingered and approached me.

“Professor…”

“What is it?”

“Students aren’t allowed inside the faculty dorms according to the rules, right?”

“That’s correct. It results in penalty points.”

“And what about entering the research building?”

“Not exactly penalties, but it depends on the situation.”

“So… what should I do?”

Her overt question left little room for feigned ignorance.

I suggested she consider what’s currently most important for Min-ha, implying the answer would then be clear.

At this point, Min-ha’s priority should be excelling academically to graduate top of her class.

Considering that, her actions going forward should already be clear.

“Well, everyone, it was a wonderful few days. Rest well and see you tomorrow.”

“Buy us dinner tonight!”

I gave a light-hearted denial to Yu Hye-won’s demand.

“Professors are busy starting today, so let’s eat later.”

After bidding farewell to the students, I went straight to the research building, hoping education authorities and the organization hadn’t issued any absurd notices this time.

* * * * *

Once back in the dorm, Han Min-ha immediately headed to her room.

Yu Hye-won seemed to call out to her, but it went unheard by Min-ha, who was too focused.

Inside her room, she sat at her chair and revisited Professor’s words: “Think carefully about what’s most important to you right now.”

“Then the answer will become clear.”

Hmm, what’s most important to me right now…

Graduating successfully and becoming an S-Ranked Hero?

No, that goal has changed since we were together.

Now, I have a new life objective: to have a beautiful baby resembling the professor, building a harmonious family with him.

That’s it.

The most important thing is this harmonious future family.

Applying what Professor said before to this…

Hehe… Professor…

You feel the same way too, Professor?

You’re like this as soon as you know I’m an adult?

Naughty professor, unqualified professor, only thinking about inappropriate things with your students.

You’re hopeless, really.

Hmm… I just can’t do this.

I’m meant to uphold the justice of the world as a hero.

I can’t let someone so perverted and malevolent go unnoticed.

I need to report the professor.

Not that kind of report, but a marriage report!

“KYAAA!!”

Lost in ridiculous daydreams, Han Min-ha screamed, burying her face on the desk and kicking her legs wildly.

“Ah, it’s so loud!”

“Huh! Sorry, Hye-won!”
