Chapter 155

“I want to do it again with Ha-chan. Just like back then.”

Looking at Seolhyang, who was staring at me with her words trailing off, I gulped down my saliva.

What should I do with this girl?

“What are you doing?”

At that moment, I flinched at the voice coming from beside me and froze.

There, Siho was glaring at me with a sharp look, holding a glass of juice.

Seolhyang coughed awkwardly and turned her head away, while Siho looked at me and her with a dissatisfied expression before sitting next to me.

“Siho, I’ll sleep next to the Manager today.”

“…Siho? But that would make Ha-chan uncomfortable. Siho, you’re 19 now, you shouldn’t act like a child.”

“Siho doesn’t know about that. Siho was a child until a month ago. I can’t sleep without the Manager. Right?”

As Siho clung to me like a spoiled child, Seolhyang made a dumbfounded expression.

“Why is she acting like such a fox…”

…Siho was a bit of a fox.

“Domi Oppa!”

As I gave a bitter smile to the disgruntled Seolhyang and patted Siho’s head, Ayu suddenly appeared, looking excited.

Ayu, who seemed quite drunk, was laughing more cheerfully than usual and holding something.

“Domi Oppa, try this on!”

“What is that?”

As I absentmindedly took what Ayu was waving around, it turned out to be a Martial Arts Outfit.

Where did she even get this from?

As I stood there dumbfounded, holding it, Ayu looked at me with expectant eyes.

“I want to see Domi Oppa wearing this kind of outfit.”

Isn’t this something guys usually ask their girlfriends to do?

As I made a dazed expression, Seolhyang and Siho’s eyes changed simultaneously.

Under their subtly curious gazes, I scratched my head and eventually stood up.

“Okay, okay.”

I might be drunk, but it’s Ayu’s request.

I couldn’t refuse.

Reluctantly, I got up and went into another room.

When I unfolded the outfit, it was a black Martial Arts Outfit with red accents.

It looked like a wuxia cosplay.

After struggling to put it on, I walked out with a bitter smile.

“Ah.”

At that moment, as I opened the door, I ran into Eva Nuna.

She was holding a glass of wine and, upon seeing me, her eyes widened.

“Do, Domi?”

She then looked me up and down, her lips trembling.

“Uh, uh, uh.”

“Eva Nuna?”

“No, no, it’s nothing.”

Eva Nuna, with a flustered expression, took a step back and then ran away.

Watching her retreating figure, I scratched my head and turned around.

“Wow, Domi looks pretty good.”

“Really?”

Just then, Nae-ki, who had seen me, complimented me, and I felt a sense of pride.

[She also thinks so.]

Juk-sim also complimented me in succession.

But the other three, who had wanted me to wear the outfit, were strangely silent.

As I turned my head, Ayu approached me.

“Domi Oppa, come here. Your belt is tied wrong.”

“Ah, I knew it.”

Ayu came over and untied my belt, then retied it for me.

“Seeing me like this, I feel like a wife getting her husband ready for work. Right?”

As Ayu laughed playfully, I responded.

“Well, you are my wife.”

“Ah, heehee.”

Ayu blushed and smiled happily.

After finishing tying the belt, she looked satisfied.

“Our Oppa is so handsome.”

“Next to Dohwa, I might just look like an extra bodyguard.”

“What are you talking about? You’re the most handsome young master in the world.”

Ayu hugged me tightly and said that.

It seemed she wasn’t embarrassed to show affection in front of others.

As I patted Ayu’s head and looked up, I met Siho’s eyes.

Siho looked at me with wide eyes and then approached me.

“Manager, you look like a prince from a historical drama.”

So Siho secretly likes this kind of thing.

Her slightly flushed face looking up at me made me feel a bit embarrassed.

“Haa.”

At that moment, Seolhyang let out a heated sigh for some reason.

Seeing her wide eyes staring at me made my body stiffen.

I’m not sure if today will be okay.

Amidst the noisy laughter, the blonde woman sitting quietly with a glass of wine let out a long sigh.

Known as Eva to Ha-chan, her real name was Song Se-hee, and she was recalling the scene from earlier.

What she remembered was none other than Ha-chan in his wuxia outfit.

As a Returner from another world, she had grown up in a world similar to wuxia since childhood.

The wuxia world and the world she came from had similar Eastern-style clothing.

Perhaps that’s why her taste leaned more towards that style than modern clothing.

Having spent her most sensitive years, from adolescence to her early twenties, in that world, her taste naturally formed in that direction.

And when Ha-chan came out in the wuxia outfit, she couldn’t say anything.

She had been trying to deny it since he saved her, but Se-hee had already half-fallen for Ha-chan.

But today, when he came out in an outfit that matched her taste, she couldn’t bear to look at him with her own eyes.

Even now, her eyes kept drifting towards him, and she was struggling to hold back.

‘This is cheating, isn’t it?’

Se-hee buried her face in her hands, which had turned bright red.

He was her savior, after all.

Seeing him desperately saving others and even tearing up the talisman she had given him, she thought, “So there are people like this in the world.”

Lately, he had been appearing in her dreams more often, and she found herself waiting for his calls or messages.

But that was as far as it went.

Se-hee didn’t have much of a taste for men.

To be precise, after nearly being raped by Maru, she had become wary of men.

But Ha-chan felt like the most harmless man she had ever met, which might be why he came to mind so easily.

However, today she realized that she did have a taste for men.

Because when she saw Ha-chan in the tight-fitting outfit, her heart beat wildly for the first time.

“Ugh, ugh.”

It was just a bit of a concern.

After all, there were many people around Ha-chan who liked him, and since he was her savior, she tried not to entertain such thoughts.

But her wavering heart completely collapsed after seeing him like that earlier.

‘What am I going to do?’

Se-hee removed her hands from her face and let out a long sigh.

As she did, Hyuk-seo, who had been watching her intently, put down his glass.

“Hey, Song Se-hee.”

“Huh, what, what?”

Se-hee looked up in surprise, and Hyuk-seo rested his chin on his hand and spoke.

“Do you like Domi?”

Se-hee’s body stiffened.

Hyuk-seo, watching her stiffen, soon let out a sigh.

“That Domi guy, with his personality, is going to attract a lot of women around him.”

Se-hee averted her eyes as if she already knew.

“Their situation seems to be getting complicated. Honestly, I just want you to live a life without getting hurt.”

Hyuk-seo, who only wanted Se-hee to live happily, said that, and Se-hee nodded as if she already knew.

“So do whatever you want.”

“…Whatever I want?”

“Yeah, whatever you want.”

Hyuk-seo took another sip of his drink.

“If you’re going to do it, go all the way. Men with their dicks can’t resist you.”

“What! Are you crazy! What are you saying!”

“Shut up. You’re already past the age to be acting like this. You don’t have time to waste. Go for it.”

“Ah! Seriously!”

As Se-hee rushed at Hyuk-seo and started hitting his head, Juk-sim, who had quietly reached her seventh bottle, thought to herself.

That Ha-chan might soon appear as a withered mummy.

After the drinking party ended, I realized I had fallen asleep for a while due to drinking quite a bit and slowly opened my eyes.

It still seemed to be dawn, as no light was coming through the window, and I felt my vision recovering.

I felt like I was on a bed, and since there was a blanket over me, it seemed someone had moved me.

As I raised my hand to check my outfit, I realized I was still wearing the wuxia outfit Ayu had asked me to wear earlier.

Since I still had a bit of a hangover, I circulated my Aura, and the hangover quickly disappeared.

If I had circulated my Aura before sleeping, it would have been fine, but I forgot.

‘The outfit isn’t a problem.’

Recalling Seolhyang’s eyes from earlier, I yawned while lying down.

Hearing voices outside, it seemed everyone was still having fun.

‘Should I sleep a bit more?’

As I closed my eyes and drifted in and out of sleep, I suddenly heard a sound from the door.

Thinking someone might have come to sleep, I opened my eyes slightly and saw blonde hair.

Seeing the swaying blonde hair, I realized who it was.

‘Is that Eva Nuna?’

Eva Nuna seemed to be drunk, as her steps were unsteady.

As I watched her for a while with half-closed eyes, Eva Nuna came over to me.

Even though there were a few more beds nearby, Eva Nuna came to mine and plopped down beside it.

As I wondered about that, I felt Eva Nuna’s gaze on me.

“…Haaa.”

I heard her let out a long sigh.

At the same time, I felt her hand stroking my forehead.

“…Domi, are you sleeping?”

Hearing her ask if I was sleeping, I tried to get up, but the situation became awkward.

Because Eva Nuna’s reaction seemed to want me to stay lying down.

“Why do you keep haunting my thoughts?”

As I wondered about her words, Eva Nuna’s face started getting closer to mine.

“You’re not sleeping, are you?”

As I hesitated at her cautious question, Eva Nuna whispered softly.

“You came in the outfit I like. I’ve been holding back for so long.”

What had she been holding back?

As I wondered about that, Eva Nuna’s hair brushed against my face, tickling me.

Eva Nuna stayed quiet for a while, as if holding her breath.

Then she opened her mouth.

“…I like you.”

Hearing that voice, I flinched and froze.

Then she lowered her head, and her lips touched mine.

In the midst of this unexpected action, I couldn’t even open my eyes as Eva Nuna kept her lips on mine for a long time.

After a while, I realized Eva Nuna’s breathing had steadied.

When I slightly opened my eyes, I saw Eva Nuna sleeping soundly.

This nuna had been drunk and fell asleep.

As I stared at her blankly, I slowly got up and laid her down beside me.

I absentmindedly touched my lips.

Regardless, Eva Nuna was sleeping soundly.

‘…Why did Eva Nuna…’

When did she start having feelings for me?

I wasn’t sure, but somehow I had confirmed Eva Nuna’s feelings, and I wiped my face.

I felt dazed.

I didn’t expect to wake up and be confessed to by Eva Nuna, so my mind was quite confused.

Regardless, Eva Nuna was sleeping soundly.

She was probably acting like that because she was drunk. I wonder if she’ll remember when she wakes up.

“Ha-chan.”

At that moment, it happened.

I heard a voice I hadn’t heard in a long time and looked up.

In the dimly lit space of dawn, a woman with jet-black hair walked out.

As I met her eyes, I slowly opened my eyes wide.

“Eun-namu.”

As Eun-namu, who I hadn’t been able to contact for a while, appeared, I called out her name in surprise.
