Chapter 435: Phone Call
Mornings at the main house start early.
Dragging my exhausted body to the dining table, I found breakfast already waiting for me.
“Are you awake, Young Master?”
“Yes, hello. You’re here early.”
“Of course. I have to prepare your breakfast, Young Master.”
“It’ll be ready in just a moment.”
There were already so many side dishes that it could be called a feast, yet they were still adding more.
I sat there blankly, yawning and wondering if I could even finish half of it.
‘Oh, right.’
Come to think of it, I hadn't woken the girls up yet.
Since mornings at the main house are excessively early, it seemed they were still asleep. As for me, the moment I catch a whiff of this house, I automatically wake up at this hour.
‘I’m like a soldier.’
I shook off the sudden wave of depression that came with thinking about the military and headed upstairs to wake them.
First, Yoo Ah-rin.
“Ah-rin, wake up. Time to eat.”
Yoo Ah-rin was sprawled out alone on the bed. She had grumbled about it being too noisy last night, but it looked like she’d managed to fall into a deep sleep afterward.
We had tried our best not to make any sound, so I suppose this was the result of our hard work.
“Mmmgh.”
She tossed and turned, clearly unwilling to get up. Her T-shirt had ridden up slightly, revealing her pale navel. I immediately pressed my lips against it.
Pffffft!
“Whoa, holy sh—?!”
Ah-rin bolted upright, startled out of her wits.
As I stared at her with a grin, she rubbed her belly, looking flustered.
“Wh-what? What did you just do?!”
“A raspberry.”
“Sigh, you really scared me.”
She let out a long sigh and tugged on my cheek. She didn't seem particularly angry, as she just gave me a light pinch before getting out of bed.
“What time is it?”
“Seven.”
“...I don’t think I’ve ever woken up before ten since exams ended.”
“Go downstairs and eat. The aunties prepared breakfast.”
“Well, then I have to go.”
She tidied herself up a bit and asked casually, “By the way, did the others come? You know, your family?”
“No, not yet. They’re still there. Actually, I have to head out right after breakfast too. I got word that the baby’s coming soon.”
Since the three of them were here, I stayed last night, but I had to go today. It was the day a new member was joining our family.
“I feel bad that we’re holding you up.”
“Don’t be. It’s not like you guys knew this would happen.”
As I headed out to wake the others, Ah-rin followed behind me. She was about to head down first when she stopped, tilting her head as if a question had just occurred to her.
“But you guys were surprisingly quiet last night?”
“...”
“Honestly, I’d half given up, but I guess Seo Ye-rin and Choi I-seo managed to hold it in?”
Ah-rin headed downstairs with a smirk. I entered my room with a complicated expression.
There, two people were asleep on my bed.
Choi I-seo and Seo Ye-rin.
“Wake up, you selfish brats.”
Unlike before, I called out to them somewhat roughly. The two of them let out faint groans and barely managed to open their eyes.
Seeing them like this after they went to bed so early last night really ticked me off.
“Go down and eat. The aunties made breakfast.”
“Mmm, Woo-jin-ah, carry me...”
“...Me too.”
“Oh, really?”
Are these two seriously doing aegyo in tandem?
Normally, I would have happily obliged, but today was different.
“Do you two not have hands or feet? Get up and move! Besides, even if I did carry you, I can only take one at a time.”
“I-seo, loser has to walk.”
“Rock, paper, scissors!”
“Yay, I won!”
Look at them, doing rock-paper-scissors with their hands in the air while still lying down.
Ye-rin reached out, telling me to hurry up and carry her since she won, but I swatted her hand away in annoyance.
“I’m not carrying you.”
“Aw, why?! I won!”
“Woo-jin, take Ye-rin down and then come back for me.”
“Do you really want to die? Choi I-seo, you’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?”
Seeing her act so out of character, it seemed she felt at least a little bit of guilt for what they did last night.
“Ahem, sorry.”
I-seo got out of bed awkwardly and headed out. Ye-rin whined for a piggyback ride until the very end, but eventually, she trudged along, leaning against my back.
Breakfast began immediately.
“...Do you always eat like this for breakfast?”
They looked overwhelmed by the excessively lavish spread. It seemed they were wondering if this was just how chaebol families ate.
Of course, we didn't eat like this every day.
Judging by the many labor-intensive dishes we didn't usually see, Mom had probably given the staff special instructions.
“It’s not usually like this. So eat up. You won’t get many chances like this.”
I’d said I had to leave right away, but there was no need to rush through the meal.
“...”
“...”
The meal proceeded in relative silence.
Ah-rin, who was picking at a dried yellow croaker as if it were her mortal enemy, tilted her head and looked at us.
“What’s with this? What’s with the atmosphere? Why are you guys like this?”
Then, for some reason, she pointed her spoon at me.
“What did you do? How did you treat them last night to make them so docile all of a sudden?”
“Ahem.”
“Cough, cough.”
Ye-rin and I-seo cleared their throats, trying to signal Ah-rin, but she misunderstood and kept aiming her arrows at me.
“Huh? You jerk. No matter how much you like sex, you should at least be considerate.”
“...”
“Is it enough as long as you enjoy yourself? What about us afterward? My thighs are still a bit—”
“Ah-rin, Ah-rin. Stop. Stop.”
I-seo hurriedly tried to stop her, while Ye-rin glanced at me nervously.
I was going to keep my mouth shut if possible, but I really couldn't let this slide.
“I didn't even get to cum once last night.”
“What does that—!”
Ah-rin was about to protest when her expression turned strange, and she asked back, “Huh?”
Her expression shifted again. This time, she stared at me blankly, a sudden realization dawning on her.
“Do you have erectile dysfunction?”
“Are you crazy?! It’s still perfectly healthy, okay? Want me to go show you right now?”
“No, then... why?”
I had a lot I wanted to say, but I-seo shook her head vigorously, telling me not to.
As she recalled last night’s events, her face turned beet red with embarrassment. At least she seemed to have a shred of a conscience.
Unlike Seo Ye-rin, who was stuffing her face next to her as if she’d accidentally eaten her conscience along with the food.
“Wait, then what is it? What did you guys do to make him this mad?”
Ah-rin stopped eating and began her investigation, fueled by curiosity.
“Hey, Seo Ye-rin. What did you do last night? What happened?”
“Ye-rin, eat this.”
I-seo immediately stuffed a piece of short rib into Ye-rin’s mouth to control her speech. Ye-rin chewed on the rib, her twitching eyebrows signaling her firm resolve not to speak.
“I’m so damn curious. Hey, Kim Woo-jin. What is it? If you’re so dissatisfied, why are you taking it out on them?”
“Well, you see—”
“Don’t you dare.”
I-seo bit her lip and warned me. She tried to reach out and step on my foot, but the table was too large for that.
Looking at I-seo, I pouted and said, “I did what they wanted to do, and they both just fell fast asleep because they were exhausted.”
“Hey!”
“Ah-rin, what we did with Woo-jin last night wasn't just sex. It was more like... a study and exploration of the mysteries of the human body?”
“...What exactly did you do to say that?”
Ah-rin asked, bewildered.
But I knew if I said anything more, I-seo would probably pounce on me, so I decided to just shut up and eat.
The meal, which felt longer than expected, finally ended.
While waiting for the girls at the front door, Ye-rin was the first to approach me.
“Woo-jin-ah, I think my chest is so big that it limits the positions we can do.”
Ye-rin grumbled regretfully.
Honestly, I had to agree.
“I didn't realize that hanging you upside down would make your breasts cover your face.”
At my words, Ye-rin giggled and whispered, “But you liked it when I used them to sandwich it, right?”
“...If only Choi I-seo hadn't been so jealous, it would have been—”
“Ehehe! I should practice!”
Ye-rin walked out, kneading her breasts inward.
Next came Ah-rin. She glanced around to see where I-seo was before asking, “Hey, what did you guys do? Was it really that weird?”
“It just turned out that way because I was researching things with Ye-rin.”
“You research sex?”
“Yes, I do. I have something I want to try with you, Ah-rin, so look forward to it.”
“...What is it? Now I’m actually curious.”
“There is something.”
Something you can only do if your chest is small.
Keeping those words to myself, I watched Ah-rin leave.
Finally, I-seo.
With her face still flushed from embarrassment, she approached hesitantly and made a firm declaration.
“That was only for last night. Ye-rin said something weird, and I just got swept up in it.”
“I know, I know.”
In fact, I-seo had been sighing or looking self-conscious the whole time last night. But since she couldn't just leave Ye-rin and me alone, she ended up joining in half-forcefully.
“Seriously... I don’t think I’ve ever been more humiliated in my life.”
I patted I-seo on the back as she covered her face with both hands and whispered, “Still, what you did when you were hanging upside down was really great.”
“The blood was rushing to my head, okay?! I’m never doing that again!”
That’s fine.
I’ve already found someone else to do it with.
From what I saw, the upside-down thing seemed better suited for someone light with a smaller chest.
After seeing the girls off, I got into my car and headed to the OB/GYN. While scrolling through the Bamboo Forest, a call came in.
— Choi Jin-ah -
“...”
For some reason, I didn't feel like answering, so I ignored it.
Five minutes later.
— Oh Yun-ji -
“Why does it feel like the same person is calling?”
It felt strangely like it still said Choi Jin-ah, so I didn't pick up.
Immediately after.
— Captain Ju -
“Sigh, fine. You win.”
The moment I answered the phone—
— Woo-jin! Why aren't you picking up!
Choi Jin-ah’s urgent voice pierced through my ear.
