Episode 23
Gulp, gulp—
Wang Mi-yu downed the potion in one go.
"Huh? Nothing's happening?"
A moment later, the air around her shimmered with a crimson glow before the energy seeped back into her body.
Whoosh.
I watched from the edge of the table, and the other members held their breaths as they stared.
Then—
Wang Mi-yu's hair darkened by several shades, becoming lush and voluminous. Even from a distance, her skin looked revitalized, her features subtly lifting at the corners of her eyes and lips, making her appear younger.
Even the melon-sized breasts spilling from her dress seemed to defy gravity, looking firmer than before.
"Wooooooah—!"
The members and I couldn't help but cheer.
"Hohohoho! How do I look? Pretty good, right? This potion can restore your beauty from twenty years ago!"
Her voice had grown even clearer.
"Wow! Let's drink ours too, quick!"
Click, click—
Gulp, gulp—
My mother-in-law beside me immediately uncorked her own bottle and drank.
Gulp.
A crimson afterglow flickered around the members seated at the table before the energy was absorbed back into their bodies.
Whoooosh—
"Wooooow!"
I was stunned by the transformation happening right next to me. Seeing it up close was even more surreal than watching Wang Mi-yu from afar.
My mother-in-law's skin seemed to reverse time itself, each cell rejuvenating before my eyes.
"M-Mother-in-law!"
She had always looked younger than her age, with smooth skin and a figure that rivaled women half her age—but now?
She looked like she was in her late twenties. Maybe even younger.
The peak of her beauty.
"How do I look, Yeong-jin? Not bad, right? I feel amazing after drinking this."
"Y-You're... breathtaking!"
It was like I was facing the mother-in-law from twenty years ago, at the height of her allure.
Wrapped in her crimson velvet dress, she was as stunning as a deep red rose in full bloom.
"Hahahaha! This is incredible! I feel like I could go back to playing for the national team!"
Kim Kang-mi, sitting across from us, looked like she had returned to her prime—back when she was a star outside hitter leading the national volleyball team to victory against Japan.
Oh Min-hee picked up a hand mirror, tilting her face this way and that. She resembled the fresh-faced young actress who had taken the world by storm in her debut melodrama.
"Hic— Wait, huh? I'm not drunk anymore?"
Even Sung Sook-hee, who had been flushed from alcohol, now looked completely sober. Her pupils sharpened, and her gaze turned mesmerizing—the epitome of a fox-like beauty.
I couldn't close my mouth as I took in the rejuvenated faces of all the members.
Now I truly understood why the Myeongdong 12 Princesses had been so famous back in the day.
"Hohohoho! Then I declare the Youth Restoration Potion event a resounding success!"
Wang Mi-yu threw her hands up in celebration, her chest bouncing with the motion. My eyes instinctively followed.
"Alright, now that preparations are complete, let me explain what we'll be doing in our gatherings from now on!"
"Quit dragging it out—what's the plan?"
Han Ji-yu, clad in a black dress, urged impatiently. Even her chest had become more... voluptuous.
"Fine, I'll cut to the chase. None of us here are exactly strapped for cash, right? So what do we want? Camaraderie, bonding, stress relief—that's what this is about!"
All eyes—well, mine were on her chest—locked onto Wang Mi-yu.
"Hohohoho! And that means... home visits!"
"Home visits?"
Everyone tilted their heads in confusion, including me. This wasn't exactly standard for social gatherings.
"Hohohoho! We all want the same thing, don't we? So here's the deal—the treasurer will visit each member's home!"
Wooooooah—!
The members erupted in cheers.
"The treasurer will visit your home and... fulfill whatever you desire! Because that's what a treasurer does!"
Her logic was flawless.
The treasurer dutifully visiting each member's home to grant their deepest wishes?
Perfect.
"Hey, Mi-yu, how will the schedule and order work?"
Baek Bo-young, the voluptuous snow-white beauty, raised her hand.
"The schedule will span 12 to 13 weeks—longer if needed. Every weekend, the treasurer will stay overnight at a member's home!"
Wooooooah—!
The cheers grew even louder.
"Simple, yet highly effective. A meaningful event indeed."
Urologist Im Shin-hye nodded approvingly.
"So how do we decide the order?"
"Hohohoho! By lottery!"
Wang Mi-yu pressed the call button, summoning Manager Jung, who entered carrying a box wrapped in deep purple fabric.
Thud.
He placed it in the center of the table. Something rattled inside.
"Inside this box are glass marbles with numbers on them. We'll each draw one to determine the order. Understood? Hohohoho!"
Scuffle, scuffle—
The women swarmed the table, eager to pick their fate.
Clink, clink—
"Wooohoo! I got number one!"
Baek Bo-young squealed. Not a bad draw—less pressure being first.
"Ugh, mine's way too far back."
"Hic— Hmm, third. Nice. Hic—"
Sung Sook-hee was already tipsy again.
"Sigh... Why is it that time only drags when I'm waiting for you? At this rate, my heart might give out first..."
Web novelist Lee Ji-an muttered under her breath.
"Mother-in-law, what number did you get?"
I turned to her.
"Aww, I'm last! Number twelve!"
"That's too far away..."
I couldn't hide my disappointment.
"It's fine~ We see each other every day anyway. Hohoho."
Sliiide.
Her hand crept over my crotch, giving it a teasing squeeze.
"Alright, everyone, show me your numbers!"
Wang Mi-yu clapped excitedly.
Plink, plink—
The members placed their marbles on the table, and Wang Mi-yu scribbled the order onto a sheet of paper.
"Hohoho! Done! Here's the home visit schedule!"
Plop.

She tossed the paper onto the table.
Click, click—
Everyone pulled out their phones to snap pictures of the schedule. I did the same, standing beside them.
"Oh my, I'm first~ Take good care of me, Treasurer-nim!"
Sliiide.
The snow-white beauty's hand slithered over my crotch, giving it a playful stroke.
"Ahaha... Of course. I'll do my best."
I barely suppressed the urge to unleash Lust Incarnate.

"Hohohoho! Great work, everyone! Now, get home safe!"
Wang Mi-yu waved cheerfully at the entrance as the members filed out. Manager Jung and his crew bowed politely beside her.
"Tch, I have to wait forever for my turn..."
Sliiide.
Kim Kang-mi, trailing behind me, groped my ass with a rock-like grip.
"Ahaha, time will fly, right?"
I scratched my head awkwardly. At over 183 cm tall, her sheer presence was overwhelming.
Tap.
Someone grabbed my shoulder. I turned to see Han Ji-yu in her black dress, her missile-like chest as violent as ever.
"I'm way down the list too. Better grow a lot before it's my turn. I won't go easy on you."
With that, she strutted off.
"Phew... Well then, Mother-in-law, shall we go?"
"Mm~ Let's go home, Yeong-jin."
"Byeeee! A-young! Treasurer-nim!"
The remaining members waved as we headed out.
Creak.
We got into the car.
Vroom—
I started the engine and hit the gas.
"Mother-in-law, everyone seems really nice. And beautiful. Haha."
"Mm~ They're all pretty and kind. You made the right choice joining the club with me, right?"
"Yes! Absolutely! My heart's racing!"
I glanced at her in the passenger seat.
Whether it was the potion or not, her intoxicating feminine scent filled the car.
I took my right hand off the wheel and grabbed her chest.
Unbelievable.
Her breasts felt like violin strings that had been silent for years, finally tuned back to their original harmony.
The elasticity under my fingertips was nothing like before.
This was the prime Jo A-young.
Throb, throb—
Even while driving, Lust Incarnate surged within me. I slammed the brakes.
Screeeech—
"Huh? Yeong-jin?"
"M-Mother-in-law..."
I pulled over under a streetlight on a quiet road.
HONK!
Passing cars blared their horns.
Under the flickering streetlight, my mother-in-law's expression seemed to scream—
Take me. Now.
