Chapter 491: Calling
“‘Authority of the head of the household,’ my foot.”
“…….”
Yoo Ah-rin, who was busy feeding the rabbits, immediately frowned in response.
Lately, the girls seemed a bit bored, so for a bit of ‘healing,’ we’d started raising rabbits, chickens, and cats together.
Since we were close to the countryside and our yard was so spacious, it felt like a waste not to raise animals like this.
The girls all loved it.
If the animals became too difficult to manage or required too much work, the aunts who helped around the house would lend a hand, so it wasn't particularly taxing.
“What authority? Don’t you know the only thing you need to care about here is our moods?”
Huffing, Yoo Ah-rin went back to feeding the rabbits.
I followed behind her as she moved to scatter feed for the chickens.
“No, but I’m still technically the head of the household. Don’t you know? Peace in the home is only achieved when the authority of the head is firmly established.”
“Sigh, it’s plenty peaceful right now. Look at this. The chickens and rabbits are getting along just fine, like two peas in a pod.”
Ah-rin grinned as she scattered the feed.
“Don’t get too attached to them. I’m going to eat those as free-range chickens later.”
“You want to die?”
When I grumbled that, she immediately glared at me.
“They’re so damn cute. Don’t you think? Tosoon-i is one thing, but where did you find such a pretty breed for Dak-dori? And the cat is just insane. She could be a model.”
“Dak-dori sounds like Dak-dori-tang.”
“Do you really want to die today?”
Then she shouldn't have named it that.
Despite my grumbling, I kept talking.
“No, I don’t mean this kind of peace. What happens later when we have kids and they ignore me? The authority of the head of the household needs to be established now.”
“Ugh, you’re being so annoying.”
Ah-rin, looking irritated, put her hands on her hips and shot back.
“So? What do you want me to do? Call you ‘My Lord Husband’? Or should I greet you with ‘Have you graced us with your presence, Sire?’ every morning? What is it?”
“No, that’s a bit much. Just, you know, let me win once in a while in our daily lives.”
“Good grief.”
After letting out a sigh of annoyance, Ah-rin started scattering feed to the chickens again.
“Hey guys, do you know why we don’t raise a dog?”
“…….”
“It’s because we already have a human-sized son of a bitch in the house. He’s quite the barker, isn't he?”
“Wow, that’s seriously cold.”
“Woof woof?”
That bitch.
If we fought now, it would be one-on-two, so I was at a disadvantage.
Since I couldn't hit her, I’d just have to take the beating one-sidedly.
“Fine! Go play by yourself!”
“Yes, I’ll go play with Tosoon-i and Dak-dori.”
“We’re having Dak-dori-tang for dinner tonight!”
“Yeah? Then you’re going straight into a pot of dog soup.”
Look at her, not backing down for even a second.
When I went inside, Choi I-seo was wearing glasses and reading a book. I tried to see what it was, but both the title and the content were in English.
Why is she reading something like that?
I quickly sat down next to I-seo and linked my arm with hers, but she immediately shook me off.
“Don’t.”
“Aw, why…?”
“I’m concentrating. Go play somewhere else.”
“Are you really going to be like this? Is this all the authority the head of the household gets?”
“Sigh.”
I-seo placed a bookmark, closed the book, and looked at me with a sigh.
“What is it now? Why are you pouting again?”
“I’m not pouting. It’s just… I feel like I’ve been so powerless lately.”
“We’re the ones who are pregnant, so shouldn't you be the one without any power?”
“Oh….”
I was defeated in a single stroke.
“You’ve got a point.”
I nodded and immediately stood up.
“I won’t bother you. Call me if you need anything.”
“Hehe, good boy. You know you’re cute when you’re like that?”
I-seo gave a slight smile, took off her glasses, and beckoned me.
“Come here.”
When I leaned my head in, she gave me a kiss on the lips.
She really knew exactly how to handle me.
“I’m almost done with this. Shall we go for a walk in a bit? I’m feeling a little stiff from staying inside all day.”
“Okay.”
I hummed as I stepped back outside.
I ran straight back to Yoo Ah-rin, who was still feeding the chickens.
“What now?”
“Thinking about it, it’s only natural that I lose. You guys are pregnant, so it’s only right that I’m considerate.”
“…….”
“Haha! A true head of the household shows the magnanimity of a great man!”
“I’m raising rabbits and chickens, but I-seo is raising a human.”
“Huh?”
“Whatever! Chan-woo called you and asked why you weren't picking up.”
“Hm? He called?”
“Yeah. He just sent me a Tok.”
Where was my phone?
I rummaged through my pockets, but it wasn't there.
“I must have left it somewhere after using it earlier.”
I went back into the house.
The aunt was cleaning, so I asked her, but she said it wasn't in the living room. I headed up to my room on the second floor.
Clack!
The moment I swung the door open without much thought.
— Ah! Ah! Kimochi!
“…….”
“Oh, Woo-jina, you’re here?”
Seo Ye-rin was watching an adult video on my computer.
I quietly closed the door so the moaning wouldn't leak out.
Ye-rin was resting her chin on her hand, watching the video as if she were studying.
“What are you doing?”
“Vicarious satisfaction.”
“…….”
“And studying.”
“But why are you watching it on mine?”
“Woo-jini has a lot of them. By the way, Woo-jina, did you use this yesterday? Looking at the history here—”
“Uh-uh! No, I didn't!”
I did.
“Hmm.”
Ye-rin looked at me with narrowed eyes. Then, she pointed at the monitor and asked.
“Woo-jina, I was actually kind of impressed watching this.”
“By what?”
I asked while rummaging around to find my phone. Even though I didn't seem particularly interested, Ye-rin kept talking.
“This position looks really difficult, right? But these people keep doing it. Is this what it means to be a professional?”
“You find the strangest things to be impressed by. Try being impressed by me for once.”
“Woo-jini is super impressive. Though, a bit less so now that you can't use your dick.”
“…….”
My body froze for a second.
I slowly turned my head to look at Ye-rin, and she had a mocking smirk on her face.
“Right now, Woo-jini doesn't seem as impressive as he used to.”
“…….”
“I guess this was as far as Woo-jini could go.”
Watching Ye-rin shake her head in disappointment, I felt a certain sensation click.
“You’re doing this on purpose to provoke me, aren't you?”
“…….”
“So that later, after the babies are born and we can do it again, you can make me go on a rampage.”
“Hehe!”
Look at her trying to laugh it off while scratching her head. I’ll let it slide because she’s pretty.
But perhaps because she’d been caught, Ye-rin started speaking quite openly.
“Woo-jina! I’m really, really looking forward to it! When the day comes that we can finally do it?! Then I’m really going to—!”
“Yeah, yeah. I get it. Just hold on for now.”
“Give me a kiss.”
The flow of conversation was always so fast with her.
Unlike with I-seo earlier, I gave her a deep kiss with our tongues entwined, and Ye-rin smiled brightly, looking satisfied.
“Hehe! I like that!”
She was so cute that I patted her head.
— Haah! Haaah! Mmmph!
It was a bit distracting that all of this was happening over the soundtrack of moans from the video.
But anyway, as long as we were happy, that was all that mattered, right?
“But Woo-jina, what are you looking for?”
“Oh, my phone. Chan-woo said he called, but I don’t know where it is.”
“Phone? Here!”
Ye-rin suddenly pulled my phone out from her cleavage.
I stared at her blankly as I took the warm phone.
“Why was it in there?”
“I thought if I kept it here, Woo-jini would come to see me at least one more time.”
“……Well, you weren't wrong.”
“Ehehe!”
Ye-rin gleefully turned off the video and walked out with me.
Seeing missed calls from each of the idiots, I knew it wasn't anything important.
Usually, when those guys all get together to call me, it’s mostly to spout some nonsense.
I called Jeong Chan-woo as I headed down to the first floor.
I-seo was still reading her book, and Ah-rin was drying her hands, having finished feeding the animals.
The call connected while I was walking down with Ye-rin.
— Hello?
“Yeah, why’d you call?”
— Hey, Woo-jin. It’s an emergency.
— Where are you? You haven't shown up to any of our drinks lately.
Ahn Hyun-ho’s voice could be heard in the background as well.
“What could possibly be so urgent? You know why I’m busy.”
— Typical U-pyeong.
— Man, how does that guy live like that?
— It’s like looking at Bill Gates. His world is so different that I’m not even jealous.
“I’m hanging up. What drinks?”
When I grumbled as I entered the living room, the three girls' eyes all shifted toward me.
Is this how a husband feels when he’s being monitored by his wives?
But I didn't really have any intention of going.
So I was about to hang up when—
— Ah, we really need you this time.
— We need you, Woo-jin—the guy who managed to seduce three women despite having a trash personality and face.
“Ugh, my head hurts. What is it?”
— Jin-ho Hyung met a woman he’s truly in love with.
— He’s begging for help. He says he wants to win her over no matter what.
“……Jin-ho Hyung?”
— Yeah, he wants some dating coaching.
— Hey, just come for one day. He’s the Hyung who used to contact us all the time when we were in the military.
I used to tease him so much for being a noob.
Now I really don’t want to go.
“Tsk, I’ll see.”
When I hung up, I-seo naturally asked who it was.
I gave her a brief explanation.
“Don’t go.”
“Go ahead.”
I-seo and Ah-rin spoke at the same time.
“Hm?”
I-seo and Ah-rin looked at each other.
Naturally, our eyes turned to the final decision-maker, Seo Ye-rin.
“Sex?”
