Chapter 569: Return to Korea
It’s true that things almost ended the way everyone expected.
“…….”
“…….”
“…….”
That included the three of us standing here at the airport.
A conclusion where we were late because we’d spent the entire night in a frenzy of wild sex was practically written on the wall.
However, we weren't actually late.
We came incredibly close, but technically, we made it.
Naturally, it wasn't because I was the one who pushed to leave the hotel.
If it had been just me and Seo Ye-rin or Yoo Ah-rin, there’s a high chance we would have missed it.
But the ones with me were Senior Ju-hee and Oh Yun-ji.
One can overpower me with sheer strength, and the other is so accustomed to sex that she doesn't just mindlessly get swept away by the mood.
I wanted to stay longer, but thanks to their cold, rational judgment, we managed to wash up and get out on time.
So, why did we almost miss it?
“My back hurts……”
“M-my thighs.”
It was because of the lingering aftereffects of the sex.
While they usually look like this, today was different in one specific way.
“I feel like my arms and back are about to give out, too.”
That was me.
Even I was feeling an incredible amount of muscle pain today.
The aggressive positions we tried—ones I’d never attempted before—hadn't just drained my stamina.
I was so exhausted I could barely hold anything; if I put any strength into my arms, they started shaking like a leaf.
“……Why is Oh Yun-ji so heavy?”
When I grumbled, shifting the blame onto someone else, a low kick immediately came flying at me.
Even though we were on our way to catch a flight, Oh Yun-ji didn't hesitate to strike, as if she couldn't let that comment slide.
“I really can’t let that one go, you jerk. Why the hell are you blaming me for you being weak?!”
“……Don’t you think the fact that I even pulled it off shows I was exerting superhuman strength out of love?”
“I have no idea why you’d waste superhuman strength on that. Did I even ask you to do that in the first place?”
“Who was the one dying of pleasure, though……”
Oh Yun-ji tried to retort but clamped her mouth shut.
[Hyaaaah! M-my man—! You’re so f-fucking good!]
As the things she’d said flashed through her mind, her face turned beet red, and she started gasping like a goldfish.
“Th-that… that was—!”
She managed to open her mouth, but nothing meaningful came out. It was more like a desperate struggle.
In the end, she shut her mouth again, turned her head away, and blushed in embarrassment.
No matter how much of a "Bed Guy" Oh Yun-ji was, last night’s pleasure and the positions we used must have been a lot to handle.
Even my arms were trembling this much, after all.
“Oh, and let me make this clear. Don’t tell the others. Especially Seo Ye-rin.”
She would definitely ask me to do it.
Seo Ye-rin never misses out on naughty positions like that.
The moment she heard about it, she’d probably lie down right there and whine for me to do it to her, too.
I didn't want to witness the miracle of her mental age dropping to the same level as her daughter, Yu-na.
“Exercise.”
Senior Ju-hee chimed in then.
She spoke to me with a very serious expression.
“You promised to learn how to work out from me along with Jin-ah. Since we’re at it, I’ll help you train your core and arm muscles.”
“Just hearing that makes me not want to do it.”
I grumbled, but Senior Ju-hee didn't even bother responding, as if the matter was already settled.
No, she didn't even pretend to listen, meaning exercise was going to crash down on me like an unavoidable natural disaster.
Sigh, fine. Maybe it’s actually for the best.
I hadn't exercised at all since getting out of the military.
Thanks to that, I felt like I’d developed a bit of a belly, and my strength had weakened significantly.
In the past, I used to build up my stamina just so I could have sex with Ye-rin for two days straight.
I wasn't sure if that resolve had naturally faded over time or if I’d achieved my goal without realizing it.
Either way, working out just for the sake of sex might seem strange, but surprisingly, I’d been doing exactly that since my college days.
And I realized that now, more than ever, it was necessary.
To handle six people, I definitely need to……
Nothing can be achieved without effort.
I needed to put in the work if I wanted to satisfy all six of them.
“I’m really going to crush my workouts once we get back to Korea.”
At my vow, Oh Yun-ji let out a hollow laugh, not expecting me to actually go through with it, while Senior Ju-hee wore a satisfied smile.

“Sir? Excuse me, sir?”
“Wh-huh?!”
At the sensation of someone gently tapping me, I jerked awake.
I didn't even need to check who was calling me. The flight attendant was standing there with a troubled expression.
“We have arrived, sir.”
“Ah……”
It seemed I’d fallen asleep on the flight from Japan to Korea.
Since I hadn't slept properly last night, once I drifted off, I hadn't woken up until we landed.
“Where are the others—?”
When I turned my head, I saw Oh Yun-ji and Senior Ju-hee were also fast asleep. It was proof of how tired we were, and how intense last night’s activities had been.
Of course, the various incidents in Japan had likely added to the accumulated fatigue as well.
Anyway, after getting off the plane and finally arriving at the airport terminal, I saw three women holding three children.
“Daddy’s here, Yu-na! Say hello! Ohayou gozaimasu!”
“Papa!”
Seo Ye-rin and Yu-na greeted me with bright smiles. Naturally, Seo Ye-rin was disguised with sunglasses and a bucket hat.
Even so, her celebrity aura couldn't be completely hidden, as passersby stole glances at her.
Of course, they couldn't tell exactly who she was.
“You’re finally out. You weren't answering your phone, so I thought you’d missed the flight.”
Choi I-seo, who was holding Seo-woo, let out a sigh of relief. She must have been worried that we were still asleep at the hotel.
“What took you so long? I’m exhausted from waiting.”
Despite her grumbling, Yoo Ah-rin didn't take her eyes off me. Little Chae-rin was dozing off in Ah-rin’s arms.
“Whoa! Hey, kids!”
The moment I saw the children, my fatigue seemed to vanish instantly.
I handed my suitcase to Senior Ju-hee and hurried over to take the children one by one.
“Papa!”
“Kyaaaa!”
“Mmm!”
Since becoming a father, the skill I’d improved the most was holding three children at once.
The kids snuggled into my chest, pushed my cheeks with their hands, or continued to doze.
Every single one of them was adorable, but the mothers behind them were radiating a strange sense of dissatisfaction.
“Wow! So it’s just the kids, huh?! What about me?! I’m right here, Seo Ye-rin! Why wasn't I first?!”
“Woo-jin, it’s dangerous to hold the kids like that.”
“Look at that. Look at this 'husband' taking care of the kids first. Hey! We’ve been the ones taking care of them this whole time! Don’t you know who you should be looking after right now?!”
“……Are you seriously jealous of the kids?”
When I looked at them in disbelief, Seo Ye-rin quickly snatched Yu-na back.
“Yu-na, Daddy belongs to Mommy. And Mommy belongs to you. Got it?”
Seeing that, Choi I-seo also took Seo-woo back without much else to say. She’d said it was dangerous to hold all three, but she’d seen me do it several times before.
She was just sulking because I hadn't paid attention to her first.
“Chae-rin is sleeping. Don’t bother her.”
Finally, Yoo Ah-rin took Chae-rin from my arms, leaving my arms feeling empty.
“…….”
I smacked my lips in disappointment and took my suitcase back from Senior Ju-hee.
The atmosphere was a bit pouty.
It wasn't serious, just a bit petty, but it felt like it would linger if I didn't do something.
“A lot of things really happened in Japan.”
I tried to start telling them stories about the trip, but they didn't seem particularly interested.

Back at our house after a long time.
Because of the luxurious structure of the main house—which wouldn't be out of place being called a mansion—I’d become someone who wasn't easily satisfied by any hotel.
That’s why being back home felt so good.
The hotel had been nice, but it was inevitable that the quality would fall short of the beds and furniture in our own home.
“Oh, you’re back?”
Choi Jin-ah, who had been home, came running over when she saw us enter.
I’d wondered where she was, and it turned out she’d been out. Even though I didn't say anything, Choi Jin-ah explained naturally.
“I had a rehearsal today.”
“No wonder. You’re dressed so elegantly.”
At my words, Choi Jin-ah suddenly twirled around and gave a beaming smile.
“How is it? Do I look pretty? The people in my orchestra gave me so many compliments.”
But the dress looked a bit tight.
It felt a little precarious.
“It looks like it’s about to burst, though?”
At my comment, Choi Jin-ah shouted back in disbelief.
“What are you talking about?! It fits me perfectly—!”
Riiip!
Simultaneous with Choi Jin-ah’s shout, the sound of fabric tearing echoed through the room.
It seemed the volume had increased when she’d tensed her stomach to shout.
Choi Jin-ah’s face turned pale as she spoke to me urgently.
“Th-th-that’s because I ate tteokbokki with the orchestra members earlier. I ate a bit too much, so my stomach is just a little bloated, that’s all.”
“……I get that. But what are you going to do about the dress? Are you going to get a new one in a different size?”
“……That feels like a blow to my pride.”
It would also be disrespectful to the person who made it to just order a new one.
“…….”
“…….”
It had been four hours since we returned from Japan.
I, for a stronger and more muscular body.
Choi Jin-ah, for a sleek and beautiful silhouette.
It seemed the time had finally come to start the diet we had been putting off and putting off.
