Chapter Title: Secretly and Lewdly (2)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Wi Ji-hye had never been particularly interested in martial arts to begin with. So even after coming to my reality, she didn't bother with training or sparring. Unlike Sophia, who became a hunter to grow stronger, Ji-hye simply appointed herself the home guard.
But as I started leaving the house frequently for hunter work, she soon found herself facing something called 'boredom.'
'Baekrang... have a safe trip.'
'Yeah, hold down the fort.'
'Hehe, sis! We'll be back!'
'Okay... be careful out there...'
-Creak
'......'
No matter how long she waited, time refused to pass, and even delicious food couldn't fill the emptiness inside. Of course, she wasn't home alone... but for some reason, both Cecilia and Hyun-ah seemed busy, leaving Ji-hye to spend her days in lonely solitude.
But even for her, there was one ray of light.
It was the genius invention called OTT that Hyun-ah had recommended.
'Sis, you must be bored, huh? Watch this until oppa gets back.'
'This is...'
'It's called Netflix... um, I'll explain later, but just start from episode one. 'What's My Uncle's Name' is such a fun drama. You'll lose track of time watching it.'
'Okay... got it.'
A video medium she'd never seen before. The soap opera pouring out from the massive wall-mounted TV was more than enough to captivate her boredom. Endless episodes that never seemed to end, and an AI algorithm that analyzed her tastes to recommend the next binge. Wi Ji-hye, who had rarely indulged in culture before, finally surrendered to modern civilization.
'Oh my... they were in different time zones? Then what about Uncle?! Is he alive?!'
'N-No way...! Skipping over like that?!'
In the end, Ji-hye dove headfirst not just into movies, variety shows, and dramas, but also documentaries, sports, games, and more. Before long, she evolved into a proper hikikomori, potato chips and beer in hand... and there were times she pulled all-nighters for days straight while immersed in OTT.
'This is so fun... just one more episode?'
'What?! Ending it here?!'
'Hmm... this one's getting a bit stale. Time to try something else?'
'Yah! Just drop it in the middle! What are you doing?! You call yourself a pro?!'
'I see... octopuses have three hearts.'
'Shoooot! Come on! How does a soccer player miss that?!'
'Cooking, huh... this is surprisingly fun too.'
'Argh, seriously! Don't take the teleporter there! Main base! Main base! The nexus is gonna get wrecked!'
But her descent didn't stop there.
After OTT came webtoons, web novels, and web dramas. Among them, she especially loved web novels—particularly murim tales... and amusingly, she was a fervent hater of the righteous sects. Despite being a righteous sect martial artist from the Wi family herself.
'But... it's cheating! If you're righteous, act righteous! What's with the sneaky backstabbing?! Seriously... righteous sects suck in real life and novels alike!'
'Yeah... I get it.'
And so Wi Ji-hye spent her days immersed solely in cultural pursuits.
But I didn't try to stop her.
Her enjoying herself like that was better than moping alone. Getting hooked on OTT didn't mean she stopped having sex with me—in fact, she even started seducing me by imitating steamy scenes... There was no reason for me to be jealous of some inhuman streaming service.
"Eek! S-Sorry, Baekrang! Are you okay?!"
"Haa, haa... Thought I was a goner."
"Sorry. You startled me... hehehe."
That said, forgetting about me while glued to OTT was a no-go.
-Knock knock knock
"Oppa, you in there?"
"Hyun-ah?"
"Yeah. I need to talk about the Ron Guild. Got a minute?"
"Sure, no problem. Be right out."
Sigh... those guys again? I was hoping for a break, but no such luck. Irritated, I gave Ji-hye's breast one last suck before grumbling my way out to the living room. It had been a while since I'd talked business with Hyun-ah.
If I had to pick the busiest person over the past year... it'd hands-down be Hyun-ah.
Lee Hyun-ah quit being a hunter to become my manager. At the same time, she managed Sophia, who had become a hunter... but with Sophia's massive popularity, her workload naturally exploded. Scheduling dungeons, dealing with guilds— she handled everything. And that wasn't even the end of it.
Meal prep, laundry, cleaning, and more—no one told her to do it, but being the weakest physically, she ended up as the household maid.
It made me feel terribly guilty.
Seeing her after so long, I couldn't help but pull Hyun-ah into a hug, my emotions surging.
"Eep?! O-Oppa?"
"Must be tough, huh?"
"Silly... I do it because I want to."
"Still, you're handling so much on your own."
"True... but compared to the sisters, I'm useless. What can I do? Housework it is. And... if you're that sorry, you could always help me out, oppa."
"W-Well, yeah, but..."
"Pfft, just kidding."
She flashed a bright smile like it was all fine, then buried her face in my chest. Stroking her cute head, she giggled and hugged me back. She'd be lying if she said it wasn't tough, but she insisted she was happier than ever. Not loving this devoted girl would be a crime.
"Anyway, about the Ron Guild... they sent gifts again."
"Siiiigh... again?"
"Yep. Wine and cheese this time... what should we do?"
"Hmm... no need to refuse gifts. Just keep 'em."
"Got it. But is it okay to just keep taking?"
"They'll reach out if they need something. Looks like they're just building favor for now, so let's watch and wait. Any other guilds contact us?"
"Not yet. Oh, the association called though."
"Association? What'd they want?"
"Asked if you're up for donating."
"Ugh... gonna lose it."
Guilds and associations were all the same. Sure, I get they're short-staffed, but pushing donations? Nah. Not outright demanding, but... sigh, refuse and they'll bitch later. My hatred for the elite was skyrocketing by the day.
"What now?"
"Ignore 'em. Deal with the whining later."
If it escalated beyond whining, I'd talk to Cecilia. Elites or not, their thug tactics had limits. No more turning the other cheek.
"Then... that's it for now?"
"Yeah, I'll handle the rest."
"Thanks, appreciate it."
So... maybe visit Cecilia just in case? Finishing up with Hyun-ah, I headed to see my daughter after ages. She was buried in research, but a quick visit should be fine. I trusted my good girl.
It felt a bit awkward admitting this, but... Cecilia's current research was on 'how to enlarge breasts.' Unlike the outright busty Ji-hye and Hyun-ah, or even Sophia matching them, Cecilia was relatively—no, objectively—flat-chested. She pretended not to care, but it stressed her out big time...
So one day, she started seriously trying.
'Protein. Of course... no choice then.'
'...L-Lia?'
'Father. Mind cumming in my mouth for a while?'
From diets supposedly good for growth,
'Breast massage, huh... never knew.'
'Ugh... looks like superstition to me...'
'Worth a shot. So... hehe. Pretty please, Father?'
to massages and exercises claimed to boost size. Desperate for big breasts, Cecilia tried everything. If A failed, try B; if B flopped, C—she relentlessly pursued breast enlargement.
'Oh? That's your effort? Poor thing... Baekrang'll be disappointed.'
'Sis! Cut it out. Pfft, Lia doesn't want to be small.'
But sadly... her breasts showed no sign of growth.
'You two... wanna die?'
'Eeeek! O-O-Oppa! The sisters are fighting!'
Yet Cecilia never gave up. She knew I was a guy who preferred big over small. So she holed up in her room for research, vowing to analyze from scratch. Honestly, I worried.
Breast size... DNA's the biggest factor, right?
But saying that would hurt her feelings. Mindful, I grabbed snacks from Hyun-ah and entered her room—to support her research and check on her.
"Father... ah, Father!"
"Lia?"
"I finally... found a way! I can have big breasts too!"
And wouldn't you know it—perfect timing for great news.
This is an old illustration of Cecilia I received.
Please think of it as her grown-up version.
