Chapter 162

“Since Baeksan is my father’s real daughter. I also wanted to find her, so I used it. But in the process, I saw Ha-chan using the same red lightning as Baeksan. Of course, at that time, I couldn’t even think of finding you, Ha-chan.”

Hearing this, I once again realized how overpowering the Crown ability is.

“After that, I lived without using the Crown until I coincidentally met Ha-chan working part-time at a convenience store.”

Recalling the process of how we met, she smiled happily.

“But regression.”

Saying that, Seolhyang glanced in the direction where Baeksan was.

“This side was really unexpected.”

Then, as if she remembered something, Seolhyang covered her mouth.

“Then perhaps…”

“Why? Is there something bothering you?”

“Hmm, it’s still just a guess. But at that time, someone was using a similar ability to mine.”

Seolhyang thought deeply for a moment, then shook her head.

“It still seems like a stretch. I’ll tell you more when I’m more certain.”

Since it was Seolhyang, whom I trust the most, I immediately nodded in understanding.

“By the way, the reason you told me this today is because Baeksan has returned, right?”

“Yes, at that time, Baeksan had a deep distrust of humans. That’s why I’ll be sticking close to her for a while.”

“Well, having you by her side will make it easier to take care of her.”

As Seolhyang nodded in understanding, she suddenly stopped.

“…But where will you be sticking close to her?”

“Well, I guess I’ll have to take her to my house or something.”

“No way!”

As I said that, Seolhyang screamed as if in shock.

Seeing my bewildered expression, she glared at me with her fists clenched.

“I haven’t even lived with you yet! How can you do that!”

Hearing that, I made a dumbfounded expression.

“Seolhyang, Baeksan is your sister-in-law.”

“Don’t you know how dangerous sister-in-laws are? It’s a common trope in dramas.”

She must have watched a lot of dramas.

Or maybe I’m making Seolhyang anxious.

Seeing what I’ve done so far, I had nothing to say, so I scratched my head.

“Alright. Then Baeksan will stay at your house, and I’ll take her around during the day. Is that okay?”

Since Seolhyang would handle things at the company, it would naturally be resolved.

After hearing me, Seolhyang thought for a moment, then glanced at me.

“…Then why don’t you just stay at our house?”

As she looked up at me with a hint of temptation, I flicked her forehead.

“You still have to work for the Association, right?”

“You’re not falling for it.”

“If I fall for it, I can see what will happen.”

Recalling what happened at the meeting, it was clear that Ayu and Siho would raise issues about this.

Since I’ve decided to accept all three, I can’t favor one over the others.

“Tch, fine.”

Seolhyang was slightly dissatisfied but still accepted it.

“Today, I’ll take care of Baeksan.”

“Alright, I’ll pick up Baeksan when I go to work tomorrow.”

As I said that, Seolhyang seemed to remember something and rummaged through her pocket.

What she pulled out was none other than a car key.

“Then take this.”

She handed me the key as if tossing a snack, and I received it with a bewildered expression.

…Wait, isn’t this a Ferrari key?

“It’s hard to come and go to pick up Baeksan. It’s perfect timing. I was worried about you taking the subway or bus.”

“Uh, excuse me? Chairman?”

“It’s a new model. I’ve barely driven it, so it’s practically new. It’s parked in the Association’s underground parking lot, so take it when you go.”

“Wait, can you just give me something like this? I feel burdened!”

“Why, my husband can drive something like this. Should I give you something better?”

“…I’ll gratefully accept it.”

I carefully placed the car key in my pocket.

If something even better comes along, I won’t be able to handle it.

“…If you feel burdened, wear the lingerie I prepared for you soon.”

Saying that, Seolhyang crossed her arms, emphasizing her chest.

Seeing that, I could only nod like a fool.

No man in the world could resist Seolhyang right now.

“Idiot.”

Except for Baeksan, of course.

—

Having unexpectedly escaped the closet license, I drove the car to Seolhyang’s house the next day.

It was to take Heuksan with me to ease her distrust of humans.

“Good morning.”

“You’re here? How’s the car?”

“It’s my first time experiencing such a ride.”

Greeting Seolhyang at the entrance, she smiled and approached me.

Seeing her, I lowered my head and kissed her.

“This is what you wanted, right?”

Seolhyang’s eyes widened, then she smiled brightly.

“You’re quick to catch on now.”

“I’ve been improving my intuition lately.”

“That’s great.”

Seolhyang hugged my arm, saying she was happy.

Thanks to that, I felt a soft sensation on my arm, but I was starting to get used to it.

“Tsk.”

“Tsk.”

At that moment, a simultaneous clicking sound was heard.

I looked up, startled, and there were Baeksan and Heuksan.

The two, as if they were the same person, crossed their arms and clicked their tongues simultaneously.

They look like twins.

“Hi, Baeksan.”

“Ugh.”

As Baeksan made a retching sound, Heuksan glanced at me and then walked over to sit in the front seat.

Seeing her, I scratched my cheek and waved to Seolhyang.

“I’m going.”

“Take care, honey.”

It felt like a husband being seen off, which was momentarily embarrassing, but I waved and sat in the front seat.

Then, Heuksan, sitting next to me, glanced at me and fastened her seatbelt.

“Baeksan, is there anything you want to do?”

“No.”

Heuksan answered curtly.

“Let’s just go.”

She’s quite prickly.

“First, let her know that Earth is safe.”

That shouldn’t be too hard.

So, I drove to the company.

Bringing Heuksan to the company had already been discussed, so I handed her a temporary employee ID.

“This is a temporary employee ID. With this, no one will bother you.”

Heuksan took the ID from me without a word.

Seeing that, I entered the company with Heuksan.

“Good morning.”

Sitting back at my desk, I pulled out a chair for her.

She sat down, leaning casually against the desk.

“Ha-chan!”

At that moment, Yoo Woo-jung suddenly appeared.

She looked at me brightly, then turned to Heuksan.

“Who’s this?”

“Heuksan, no, Baeksan. Seolhyang’s younger sister.”

“The Chairman’s sister?”

Yoo Woo-jung’s eyes widened, and she approached Heuksan.

“Hello? I’m Yoo Woo-jung. Nice to meet you.”

“Get lost.”

“…What?”

Yoo Woo-jung froze at Heuksan’s cold attitude.

With a look of disbelief, she stared at Heuksan.

“Uh, excuse me?”

“Can’t you hear?”

As Heuksan asked again, Yoo Woo-jung frowned.

She was about to say something, but when sparks started to flicker around Heuksan, she stopped.

Yoo Woo-jung instinctively knew.

If she fought Heuksan now, she would most likely die.

So, she tucked her tail and started to slowly back away.

Then, she hid behind me.

“Ha-chan, I’m scared of that person.”

“Is that so? Then don’t provoke her. You’ll get struck by lightning.”

“Eek!”

Yoo Woo-jung screamed and ran away.

Heuksan paid no attention to her and leaned back against the desk.

Since she seemed in a bad mood, I left her alone and started working on my computer.

Meanwhile, Heuksan showed no particular interest in me and just sat quietly.

But she still occasionally glanced at me with a wary look.

Yesterday, I heard that I shouldn’t approach Baeksan recklessly.

Since Heuksan is suspicious of me, it’s better to wait for her guard to lower.

It was to make her aware that the surroundings were peaceful.

So, I continued working.

Around lunchtime, Siho and Ji-eun appeared.

“Manager.”

“Ha-chan oppa!”

Seeing the two calling me, I stopped to take Heuksan out for lunch.

Siho, who already knew Heuksan, didn’t pay much attention, but Ji-eun looked at Heuksan.

“Ha-chan oppa, who is this?”

“She’s Seolhyang’s younger sister. Her name is Baeksan.”

As I explained, Ji-eun’s eyes widened.

Then, Ji-eun smiled and approached Heuksan.

“Nice to meet you! I’m Yoon Ji-eun.”

“Get…”

As Heuksan was about to say what she did to Yoo Woo-jung earlier, I glared at her.

I couldn’t tolerate her treating Ji-eun like that.

“Ugh.”

Meeting my gaze, Heuksan pursed her lips, then avoided my eyes and quietly said.

“…Alright.”

Fortunately, she still listened.

“Let’s get along!”

“…See.”

Heuksan showed a rejecting reaction, as if she wasn’t used to Ji-eun’s brightness, but Ji-eun didn’t mind.

Since Ji-eun is naturally bright, I thought it wouldn’t be a bad opportunity for Heuksan.

“Manager.”

Of course, Siho had no intention of talking to Heuksan and stayed by my side.

Siho, who has no interest in anyone but me.

“Do you remember our promise, Siho?”

“Yes, I remember it well.”

Since it’s a promise set for December 31st, I patted Siho’s head.

Then, Siho smiled happily and hugged my arm.

“Siho, I’ll train hard again today.”

Perhaps because of her upcoming debut.

Siho’s practice has increased a lot recently.

“Then after training, let’s go eat something delicious.”

“Okay, sounds good.”

Siho, who has never refused anything I said, rubbed her face against my arm, and Ji-eun also joined.

“What, you’re only doing that with Siho. Take me too.”

“Alright, alright.”

Of course, I had no intention of leaving her out, so I said the same to Ji-eun, and she smiled happily.

Watching the two go off to train, I felt a gaze and turned my head.

There, Heuksan was staring at me intently.

Her eyes were filled with disbelief, and I tilted my head.

“Baeksan?”

“What the hell are you doing?”

She looked at me with eyes that said she couldn’t believe it, and I made a bewildered expression.

Did I do something wrong?

“Ha, crazy, how did my sister end up with someone like you.”

At that moment, when she mentioned her sister, I realized she was talking about Seolhyang.

“Baeksan, wait, your sister?”

“What’s your relationship with those two earlier?”

Then, Heuksan glared at me with sharp eyes and asked.

What’s our relationship? That’s…

“You said you were my sister’s boyfriend yesterday. You were so annoying this morning. Are you openly cheating? Damn, are you crazy? Do you like women that much? Is that why you’re doing this to me? Is your brain in your dick?”

I blinked a few times.

Then, slowly, I started to cover my chin with my hand.

I couldn’t believe I didn’t realize this.

It was a reflection of how accustomed I had become to this lifestyle.

“…Right, that’s how it looks to others, huh?”
