Chapter Title: A Past Even She Didn't Know
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Were you two really on such bad terms?"
"Yeah... That's why I never said anything until now."
"I knew something felt off. Your little brother is that famous Han Minguk, and you're Han Se-jeong, the one who loves bragging about everything on SNS—how does it make sense that you've kept your mouth shut this whole time? I was totally shocked when I saw the news."
Da-eun clicked her tongue as she looked at Se-jeong's gaunt face. Her best friend of five years had suddenly gained a brother out of nowhere, and when Da-eun found out it was Han Minguk, she'd been floored.
She'd rushed over to get the full story from Se-jeong... and sure enough, there was some secret reason it'd been kept under wraps all this time.
"Anyway, so you two aren't even in touch now?"
Da-eun asked carefully, eyeing her friend whose face looked like death warmed over. Maybe it was because Da-eun's own family got along so well, but even if siblings weren't close, they were still family... It felt kind of pitiful that Se-jeong hadn't spoken to her brother in years.
Se-jeong let out a deep sigh in response.
"In touch? It's a miracle if he doesn't curse me out."
"...What the hell happened to make a family turn out like this? Now I see Han Minguk has a crappy personality."
Da-eun glared at Se-jeong, her tone laced with anger. She was taking her best friend's side over the national hero, but that only made Se-jeong feel more burdened by the sympathy.
"...It's not Minguk's fault."
"Then whose is it?"
"Mine. I did something crazy to him back in the day."
Da-eun's jaw dropped at Se-jeong's shocking confession.
"Ugh, you lunatic."
Da-eun sighed heavily as her friend slumped after finally spilling the story. She'd figured there was some backstory, but this was pretty intense. And if the media ever got wind of it...
'Oh god...'
Da-eun shuddered at the thought. Considering Han Minguk's current status, Se-jeong would be socially crucified for sure.
"S-So, what are you gonna do? You'll at least run into him at the engagement ceremony, right?"
"I don't know. It's driving me insane just thinking about it. But I have to go..."
Se-jeong ruffled her hair in frustration.
There was still plenty of time before the engagement party, but the worry was already eating her alive. They could've just handled it among themselves without dragging her into it...
But since she was the cause, she couldn't exactly complain to Minguk for reaching out anyway, family or not.
"What should I do? Huh?"
"Sigh... Was there ever any sign of reconciliation in between?"
"...You can tell from the fact that we've lived like strangers with zero contact."
Da-eun smacked her lips, seeing her friend's miserable expression. She swallowed hard before speaking up.
"Then don't make things awkward at the engagement party. Why not apologize first, right now?"
"...Y-Yeah? You think?"
"Yeah. You can say the engagement gave you a chance to reconnect after all these years of no contact. That leaves some room for possibility, right? Don't even ask for forgiveness—just say you're sorry. Your relationship's so messed up, you'll probably never see each other again after the party anyway."
"Probably not."
"Just focus on getting through the engagement party unscathed."
Se-jeong nodded with effort.
But she still couldn't shake the memory of the way her little brother had looked at her back then. Despite her best friend's advice, Se-jeong spent days unable to send that apology message to Minguk.
Plus, she had his number, but they hadn't spoken in years. As the saying went, picking at a scab could make things worse—sending a message might just weird out their relationship even more. But...
"Ugh, whatever."
Se-jeong scratched her bird's nest of hair a few times before sighing and reluctantly picking up her phone. She started tapping out a message.
[It's me. You doing okay?]
That was the line she'd agonized over and rewritten a dozen times. It had taken her over an hour.
After sending the text to her brother, Se-jeong stared at her phone, now showing the time. The screen lit up when she tapped it, so it wasn't off.
'It's what I expected anyway.'
But no reply came. Just as Se-jeong started resigning herself...
Bzzz!
Her phone vibrated briefly.
'Ah, seriously...! Oh Hyun-ah, you're dead meat.'
Minguk had fought off Hyun-ah's temptations to finish his report, then dragged her home as fast as possible.
He'd actually grabbed her hand with the intent of relieving his urges right away at Kim So-jeong's place. The three of them could've had a steamy time together.
"All three of us with sis...?"
Hyun-ah nodded knowingly at Minguk's suggestion. She knew she couldn't handle his lust alone anyway. And with So-jeong's killer techniques, two of them could definitely satisfy him.
But...
"Huh? Raid Leader?"
"What brings you here?"
"Wait, why are you guys here?"
Were they visiting So-hyun?
At Kim So-jeong's house, there were five GGW members hanging out: Ye-rin, Yuna, Tanya, and two others. All of them belonged to Minguk's cartel.
Starting anything here would inevitably turn into an all-out orgy. Minguk had no choice but to retreat from So-jeong's place immediately.
He regretted it, but handling seven women—including Hyun-ah and So-jeong—was impossible. Plus, Kang Chae-young was waiting at home.
"Just stopped by to see So-hyun's face before heading back."
"Uncle! Uncle!"
Minguk played with So-hyun, who came running for a hug, for about fifteen minutes before leaving with Hyun-ah. The team knew he'd had a long trial and was tired, so they let him go without protest, though they were disappointed.
"Hnnng..."
"Mmm."
Minguk and Hyun-ah endured their pent-up lust from the meeting room all the way to their place in Gangnam. He'd teased her with his fingers while driving, but it wasn't nearly enough.
"You're back?"
"Gonna shower first."
"Me too, sis!"
Upon arriving at Kang Chae-young's—no, their—home, Minguk and Hyun-ah greeted her and bolted for the bathroom. As soon as he finished showering, Minguk headed straight to where Hyun-ah was washing up and flung the door open.
"Wh-what...?"
Hyun-ah, mid-scrub, yelped in surprise at Minguk barging in and stared at him.
But only for a moment. Her eyes locked on his throbbing cock, and she slowly sank to her knees. She crawled toward it, planted a kiss on the tip, and opened her mouth wide.
- Ahh! Ahn! Hngh! Ha!
"Ha? Well, look at that."
Chae-young smirked in the living room at the sudden sounds.
They'd rushed to shower the second they got home, and now came the lewd moans. No doubt Oh Hyun-ah was the source—probably exploding with lust after the dungeon run.
Chae-young knew the feeling all too well from her own experiences. She'd wrecked a few dildos on nights like that.
When she had a boyfriend, she'd relied on him sometimes... but honestly, he couldn't compare to a dildo. No man could handle a female hero's libido—that wasn't an exaggeration. But Oh Hyun-ah didn't have that problem.
- Honey! Ahh! Ahn! Minguk...!
She had Han Minguk, a man leagues beyond any dildo. And unlike other guys, Minguk actually enjoyed sex with women.
"Sigh..."
Truth be told, Chae-young was jealous.
It wasn't like she lacked experience. Sex with Minguk was something no woman could forget. Even mana-awakened heroes like her were driven to the brink of passing out by his raw power—no one could resist.
But Chae-young couldn't pounce on him like Hyun-ah. It was all because of the baby in her belly. Still, that didn't mean she couldn't join in.
Chae-young slipped off the couch and headed to the bathroom, where the moans were coming from. She saw Minguk pounding Hyun-ah from behind as she braced against the glass.
"S-Sis...?! Hnngh! Yes! Ahh!"
Hyun-ah whipped her head up in shock at Chae-young's arrival, then dropped it again with a guttural moan. Minguk's relentless thrusts made it impossible to think straight.
She'd started out determined to enjoy him first, but after a few strokes, her mind went blank.
Chae-young approached Minguk from behind and teasingly flicked her tongue toward his ass.
"Oof?!"
Minguk's already rock-hard cock surged even harder from the stimulation.
"Haaah?!"
And Hyun-ah had to take the full brunt of it.
The trio's bathroom romp spilled over to the bedroom and kept going.
"Slurp! Glrk!"
"Hnnngh! Ah! Yes!!!"
Minguk thrust deep into Kang Chae-young's mouth as she lay prone, while fingering Hyun-ah's pussy. He gave Hyun-ah a deep kiss as she desperately stuck out her tongue.
He pumped his hips until he unloaded thickly into Chae-young's mouth, then plunged back into Hyun-ah.
"Ah! Ah! Nng! Mmph! Ungh!"
Her death-rattle moans echoed through the spacious room with every buck of his hips. After cumming hard inside both women several times, his lust finally started to ebb.
"Aaaah..."
"Ah... aaa..."
Minguk felt a strange twinge watching their twitching bodies.
He wasn't certain, but as his Hero Rank climbed, his stamina seemed to be ramping up. More precisely, his sex drive?
He surely wasn't the only male hero with mana awakening... but he'd never heard that male heroes had notably hornier libidos than average guys. Stronger stamina, sure—but lust was different.
'Is it because I'm not from this world?'
That was the only conclusion that made sense.
Gazing at the two women melted by sex with him, Minguk slowly got up. The workout had left him thirsty.
"Mmmph..."
As he stepped off the bed, Chae-young let out a needy whine. She'd snapped out of it at his movement.
Hyun-ah, who'd taken over pounding duty for the pregnant Chae-young, was out cold, covered head to toe in cum. Experience told him she'd sleep till morning.
"Hang on a sec."
Minguk grabbed cold water from the fridge and fed it to Chae-young mouth-to-mouth.
She gulped it down greedily, then slipped her tongue into his mouth, licking away the chill.
They shared another deep kiss as Minguk slid between Chae-young and Hyun-ah, lying back down. Chae-young snuggled into his arms and looked up.
"Hyun-ah's totally passed out."
She poked Hyun-ah's back.
"...After three straight weeks of non-stop trials."
"Doubt that's the only reason..."
Chae-young grinned slyly, fiddling with Minguk's softened cock. The "holy sword" that had been ravaging Hyun-ah moments ago was now sheathed after its mission.
"Ngh... I want some too."
"Hold out till the safe period. I'll fuck you senseless later."
"Fuck, just imagining... Ah, pretty words."
Realizing her slip, Chae-young clamped her mouth shut and rolled her eyes. Years as a hero had roughed up her language—mindfulness only went so far.
