Chapter 551: Sparing No Expense
The next day.
I slowly opened my eyes and immediately checked who was lying next to me.
This is actually a pretty important task. Sometimes I fall asleep with Yoo Ah-rin and wake up next to Choi I-seo. If I wake up and call out the wrong name, I start my day with a slap or a painful pinch.
‘It’s honestly kind of unfair.’
I fall asleep with one person and wake up with another. How am I supposed to know the difference the moment I wake up?
However, whenever I bring up this injustice, I usually lose.
Then don’t date six women.
When they hit me with such a blatant, naked, and fatal fact, I have no choice but to shut my mouth and just take it.
Last night before bed, it was Oh Yun-ji. I wondered who it would be now.
Who’s today’s Pokemon?
With the same feeling as Professor Oak spinning a roulette wheel, I cautiously lifted the blanket.
There, I found Seo Ye-rin and Choi Jin-ah lying on either side of me, their arms wrapped around my waist.
“……”
“……”
They weren't even asleep. They were staring up at me, waiting for me to wake up.
With their sparkling eyes and soft cheeks pressed against my waist, I felt a strange sensation. It wasn't exactly arousal—it was more like they were just incredibly cute.
“What are you two doing?” I asked.
Seo Ye-rin replied brightly, “Good morning!”
“Heh, good morning.”
I gently stroked her hair, and she beamed, clearly enjoying the affection.
Seeing that, Choi Jin-ah immediately chimed in.
“McMorning!”
“……Are you hungry?”
“A-Ah, no. I didn't mean to say that, it just came out—”
“Be honest.”
Choi Jin-ah pursed her lips for a moment before answering grumpily.
“I… I want to eat it.”
“Heh, fine. We’ll stop by McDonald’s on the way to school today.”
I stroked her hair as well, and she smiled brightly, rubbing her cheek against my hand.
The two of them wouldn't let go, and after a bit of a struggle, I was finally able to get up only when Choi I-seo opened the door and told us to get ready for school.
“Ugh, I seriously don't want to go.”
As I muttered while getting dressed, Oh Yun-ji, who was already ready, walked into the room.
“I’m heading out first. I’ve got a busy day.”
Without another word, she gave me a quick peck on the lips and then left a bite mark on my neck.
I don't know why she insists on the neck, but I’ve learned to just go with it.
“Are you really okay after everything we did last night?” I asked.
Oh Yun-ji frowned as she replied.
“Do I look okay? My back is killing me. I specifically told you to stop.”
She poked my chest with her finger. Despite her words, she didn't actually look like she hated it.
When I grinned, she stuffed the bread she was holding in her other hand into my mouth and walked away.
Yun-ji left for work, and I munched on the bread while finishing getting dressed.
When I stepped out, Choi Jin-ah, who was fully dressed and ready, pointed a finger at me and shouted.
“Aah! You said we’d have McMorning together! I barely managed to get permission from I-seo, and yet—!”
“Eating this doesn't mean I can't eat that.”
After finishing the bread, I glanced toward the kitchen. The others were eating the breakfast prepared by the ladies.
“Hey, Seo Ye-rin. Eat faster.”
Yoo Ah-rin was standing up, breastfeeding Chae-rin. Every time I see that, I think: mothers are truly great.
Honestly, isn't that basically a high-level Water Release technique performed from nothing?
‘If I say that out loud, I’m dead.’
The moment those words left my mouth, she’d probably turn our kids into orphans. Ah-rin would go to jail for murdering me.
“Nom nom nom nom!”
Seo Ye-rin was eating her food vigorously, saying she’d watch the kids next.
She was intentionally making a lot of noise while eating, but her actual eating speed was quite slow compared to the sound effects.
‘Come to think of it, Ye-rin used to feed the kids with both hands.’
I suddenly remembered the sight of Seo Ye-rin sitting on the sofa, holding the kids with a hollow, enlightened expression while nursing.
Just then, Choi I-seo, who had been eating, approached me.
“Since breakfast is a bit light, make sure to eat something expensive for lunch. Don't hold back on the money.”
“It’s not like I’m the type to save money.”
Choi I-seo straightened my collar. When I gave her a smirk, she pinched my cheek and grumbled.
“Don't smile, it’ll make me like you more. I’m still mad about yesterday.”
“Oh, come on. I can tell you’ve already cooled off.”
“Mc-Mc-Morning-Morning.”
I tried to lean in for a kiss, but a strange morning song started playing behind my back.
“……”
“Morning-Morning-Mc-Mc.”
I tried to kiss her again, but the sound returned, making me hesitate. Choi I-seo chuckled, stood on her tiptoes, and kissed me anyway.
“Have a good day. Don't wander off to any strange places, okay?”
“Strange places? When have I ever done that? Ah, unless you mean falling for you.”
“Not funny. No emotion. My heart didn't even flutter. You really need to learn some pick-up lines from your friends.”
“……”
“Morning-Mc-Morning-Mc—!”
I glanced back and saw Choi Jin-ah doing some bizarre dance.
It seemed like she was rushing me to leave, so I finally turned around and started pushing her toward the door.
“Alright, alright. Let’s go. We’re leaving now!”
“Have a good day!”
“Be careful!”
“Hey! Don't be late today!”
With Seo Ye-rin, Choi I-seo, and Yoo Ah-rin seeing us off, I headed to the entrance with Choi Jin-ah.
There, Senior Ju-hee was already waiting, dressed neatly in a suit. She gave a soft smile.
“Shall we go, Young Master?”
* * *
Inside the car.
We were heading to school after picking up McMorning from the drive-thru.
Watching Choi Jin-ah devour her burger next to me, a question suddenly popped into my head.
‘Where is she even going?’
She looked like a fish. A fish that had been hooked by a hamburger and dragged onto land.
I tried to sneak a french fry, but she slapped my hand away and glared at me.
“Don't cross the line, Woo-jin.”
“……Yes, ma'am.”
Damn, she’s dead serious.
“Senior, would you like a fry?”
“Yes, please.”
I popped a fry into Senior Ju-hee’s mouth, and she nodded as she chewed.
“Jin-ah, you need to start exercising.”
“……?!”
Choi Jin-ah flinched, trembling.
Ju-hee looked at her through the rearview mirror and spoke.
“You’ve been eating whatever you want lately, haven't you? McMorning? French fries in the morning… and you even ordered a McFlurry?”
“N-No! Unni! We agreed to start next week!”
“We did. But seeing how you’re eating now, I don't think you’ll hit your target weight before the performance.”
Ah, Choi Jin-ah had a performance coming up and was planning to go on a diet. It seemed she had asked Senior Ju-hee for help.
But because she was eating so much, Senior Ju-hee decided she wouldn't be able to lose the weight in time and wanted to start right now.
“What about you, Young Master? Would you like to join us?”
Senior Ju-hee looked at me through the mirror as well. I flinched and gave an awkward smile.
“I… I’ve already retired from that life.”
“Midterms are over. You need to get some exercise. There’s talk among your wives lately that poking your belly fat is getting fun.”
What?!
Wait, what belly fat?!
Squish.
“……”
I frowned as I felt the evidence of a life of abundance and happiness. It wasn't visible from the outside, but I had gained more weight than I thought.
‘Wait, is that why Seo Ye-rin and Choi Jin-ah were clinging to my sides this morning?’
The truth hit me, making me shudder.
“We need to get your body toned again. Just as you enjoy licking my abs, I want to try licking your muscles too, Young Master.”
“……Did you learn that from Choi I-seo? You really know how to handle me.”
“Pfft.”
Senior Ju-hee let out a small laugh.
If she puts it like that, how can I say no?
“Sigh, alright. Let’s work out together.”
I nodded and reached for the last french fry.
Smack!
“I told you not to cross the line, Woo-jin.”
She’s really being a hardass about this.
* * *
Time passed, and it was now lunch break.
School was somewhat tedious. Since midterms were over, the intensity had vanished, leaving only a quiet atmosphere.
It was peaceful, sure, but undeniably boring.
“Yaaaawn.”
I looked around while yawning.
Since I decided to start exercising, shouldn't I buy some workout gear?
With that thought, I pulled out my phone in the classroom. There were still about ten minutes before the lecture started.
Proper exercise always begins with shopping for gear. I definitely had some stuff from when I used to work out, but I had no idea where it went after moving back to the main house.
As I was browsing through workout equipment on my phone, I suddenly got a notification.
— Choi I-seo —
“Hmm?”
Wondering what was up, I answered the call. Choi I-seo’s voice was calmer than usual.
— Woo-jin.
“Yeah?”
— Some packages arrived at the house.
“Packages? I haven't ordered anything yet.”
I hadn't even placed the order for the workout gear, so what could have arrived?
— A lot of them. Some big boxes, some small. I was wondering what they were, but Ye-rin told me to move them to your playroom.
“Ah……”
I remembered. That was the reason she and Ye-rin were giggling so much yesterday.
“Y-You don't really need to check those. Ye-rin knows all about it—”
— Yeah, I’m looking at the delivery manifest right now. Leashes, handcuffs, dildos, a love chair……
Oh, shit.
I’m busted.
— I told you not to hold back on the money, and you really didn't, did you?
“……”
Then, Yoo Ah-rin’s cackling laughter echoed through the phone.
— You brat! I told you to make a playroom, and you’re building a sex dungeon!
