Chapter 490: Family Meeting
Before I knew it, the talk about the guy impersonating me had long since vanished.
Just as the Bamboo Forest seemed to have lost all interest in Kim Woo-jin, the youngest son of Uju Group, the people at our villa also seemed to find my impersonator rather boring now.
Well, I suppose that makes sense.
To be honest, I was a bit taken aback at first, but in the end, no matter what a guy like that babbles about, it doesn't really cause any real damage.
The real thing carries weight; that’s why it’s the real thing.
So, what were we doing now?
"No! No! I said no! Not at allll!"
"What do you mean, 'not at all'! You were dying of joy every time Woo-jini slapped your butt!"
A heated discussion about each other's sexual preferences was in full swing.
Specifically, Seo Ye-rin was currently trying her hardest to make Yoo Ah-rin admit to her tastes, while Yoo Ah-rin was shouting back with a somewhat forced desperation.
Actually, there was no need to prove anything.
We all knew, didn't we?
That Yoo Ah-rin secretly enjoyed a bit of sadistic play during sex.
Why is she denying it now?
Watching blankly, that was the question that came to my mind.
We’d all seen it while doing it together anyway, so I didn't see the point in denying it.
"I'm a mother now! I absolutely cannot admit to enjoying something like that!"
It seemed that becoming a mother had given her a certain sense of pride.
"Ha!"
Seo Ye-rin looked at me, dumbfounded.
As a living witness and the patent holder of discovering Yoo Ah-rin’s tastes, she was demanding that I intervene immediately and put an end to this debate.
"Ahem—."
"Shut up, Kim Woo-jin."
"……Yes, ma'am."
Yoo Ah-rin suppressed me the moment I tried to stand up. She seemed well aware that if I got involved, she would be at an extreme disadvantage.
Seo Ye-rin changed her tactic and began appealing to the idea that it wasn't something to be ashamed of.
"Ah-rin, finding pleasure in that way is actually a very common sexual preference. There are tons of people like that."
"……Shut up."
"I’m serious! Woo-jin, right? Tell her. Tell her being a masochist isn't weird."
"It’s not weird."
At my words, Yoo Ah-rin bit her lip hard. Deciding that continuing the conversation wouldn't benefit her, she tried to flee, but Seo Ye-rin quickly snatched her wrist.
"Don't deny yourself! I used to be like that too! I used to think of myself as the Sex Master and Seo Ye-rin as two different people! But now—!"
"Shut up! You should be kept on a different level! A person needs to know when to stop!"
Panting, Yoo Ah-rin finally snapped back with a question.
"Fine, then what about you? What about your tastes?"
"Oho?"
"Hey, Kim Woo-jin. What kind of stuff does this girl enjoy?"
The question was directed at me by Yoo Ah-rin, but Choi I-seo, who was sitting nearby, slunk away and tried to stand up.
She had clearly realized that if she stayed, she’d be dragged into this topic too.
But Yoo Ah-rin didn't let her go.
"Attention, right there."
"……I’ll pretend I didn't hear anything. Just let me go."
Naturally, Choi I-seo’s resistance was futile.

What do you think is the most important thing for building a good family?
Wealth?
Of course, that’s important.
Education?
That’s important too.
But more than anything, the most important thing is the relationship between the parents.
In my family’s case, my father is blunt, but my mother is wild enough to break through all of that.
Since we’ve started a new family of our own, it seemed best to get to know each other clearly before we truly begin.
To have a good marital relationship, it’s important to establish your own set of rules—making sure no one crosses each other's lines.
Especially since there are four of us.
And with three more on the way, it was crucial to set some standards in advance.
"I didn't expect the talk about sexual preferences to lead to this."
Choi I-seo scratched her cheek with an embarrassed expression. Normally, she would have just run away, but she seemed to agree that we needed to make some rules, so she sat and waited.
I’m pretty sure we were just talking about what everyone’s kinks were.
The 1st Family Meeting naturally transitioned into a discussion about not crossing lines.
“…….”
“…….”
“…….”
Silence fell.
Wondering what was going on, I looked around at the girls, only to find them all staring at me.
"What are you doing, Head of Household?"
"Woo-jini should lead the meeting."
"You're the center of this, after all."
"Ah?"
Right.
I was the Head of Household.
It feels awkward.
I wondered if this feeling would fade once the kids were born.
I still couldn't believe that I was the patriarch, and simultaneously the husband and father to these three.
"Ahem, we need to set some rules. Especially regarding... well, the bedroom."
"Ugh, he goes straight to that topic."
"Ah-rin! What else could possibly be more important than this!"
"……Well, it is an important part."
Even Yoo Ah-rin, who had grumbled, seemed to agree like the other two.
"Right now, no one’s doing anything because everyone’s pregnant, but honestly, once the babies are born next year, we’re going to be doing it like crazy again, right?"
"Ugh, seriously, your choice of words."
"Hahaha! I’m going to do it a ton!"
"Sigh."
Why act like you won't?
I'm definitely going to do it a ton.
"Ahem, anyway. So, it seems like we need to get things organized. In order for us to maintain a good relationship."
Everyone more or less agreed with my summary.
Right now, we were all laughing and getting along, but there was no guarantee it would stay this way in 10 or 20 years.
"Can't we just use a rotation system?"
Choi I-seo suggested, raising her hand slightly.
A rotation system was certainly the first thing anyone would think of.
But the reason I hadn't brought it up was, obviously...
"I object!"
It was Seo Ye-rin.
"If we do a rotation, I feel like I-seo will skip her turn and then my turn will never come!"
At that very sharp point, Choi I-seo’s expression crumpled slightly.
"But a rotation is reasonable. It's the most fair."
To Choi I-seo’s rebuttal, Seo Ye-rin let out a sigh and then nodded more easily than expected.
"Fine, let's do a rotation."
"Really?"
"Instead, be warned that I might overtake you without you even realizing it."
"……Then there’s no point in a rotation."
"Can you keep up?"
Seo Ye-rin suddenly stood up, showing her back and grinning.
Choi I-seo, who didn't get the reference, just blinked and stared at her blankly.
"No, let's just keep doing it like we do now. Each person does it when they want to."
Yoo Ah-rin finally stepped in to mediate.
"You can't stop Seo Ye-rin even if you try. You know that, right? And Kim Woo-jin can get it up at any time of the day."
"Sigh, yeah. That's true."
Nodding, Choi I-seo added a warning.
"But we must never get caught by the kids! This is absolute. It’s not good for their upbringing. If we ever get caught—."
Choi I-seo’s eyes turned ominous.
It was a warning that at that moment, someone had better be prepared for their life to end, no questions asked.
Naturally, none of us disagreed.
We were parents, after all.
Sex is great, but the children's education comes first.
"And honestly, doesn't a rotation make it feel like we're his concubines? That would feel like shit."
"……True. It’s not like he’s a king from the Joseon Dynasty. Entering the bedroom on a schedule is a bit much."
Hearing it out loud, I also felt like it would make the relationship feel too business-like.
"Then what about things like dates?"
Seo Ye-rin, who had been excited, sat back down and asked calmly.
Her energy was lower than when we were talking about sex.
On the other hand, Choi I-seo and Yoo Ah-rin seemed more interested in this.
"Separately, for sure. Never together."
"Agreed. Fucking agreed. Group dates are really not it."
"For this, we should set some time—."
"Later, when we start working—."
"Sex?"
As their individual conversations continued, I just sniffled and listened.
It was supposed to be a family meeting led by me, but at some point, I had become the listener.
But.
Wait, this is...
As I listened, only one thought came to mind.
"That’s going to be impossible."
At my words, the eyes of all three women shifted to me simultaneously.
"Listening to you guys, this is going to be impossible."
I’m sorry, but wrong is wrong.
As the Head of Household, I have a duty to cut off absurd ideas.
"Girls, think realistically. Next year, three more are joining us. Do you think it’s possible for me to split my time and spend it with each of you separately?"
I could say it with confidence.
It was impossible.
"If I do that, I won't be able to do anything else; I'll just be dating and having sex all day long. I won't even have time to see our kids."
I was a father, wasn't I?
"Let's be realistic, okay?"
I finished with a smile.
I was satisfied with having shown them reality as a benevolent patriarch.
“…….”
“…….”
“…….”
The three of them fell silent.
I wondered if I had been too logical, but the first one to speak was Yoo Ah-rin.
"Is this motherfucker serious?"
"……Ah-rin, the baby might hear you."
"Then tell him not to say things that make me talk like this. What did this guy just say to us?"
As Yoo Ah-rin asked the other two in disbelief, Choi I-seo also sighed and confronted me.
"Woo-jin, you're the one who presented us with an unrealistic situation. How are we supposed to come up with a realistic solution?"
“…….”
"Hahaha! I wish Woo-jini had six dicks!"
In the end, the first family meeting fizzled out.
While we agreed to just keep getting along as we were, reading the room...
A sense of crisis rose within me.
My position is getting shaky because we aren't having sex.
Right now, the authority of the Head of Household was wavering.
