Second Quarter Settlement

The day after the party, Kang Dohyun woke with a slight headache.

"Ugh..."

He'd drunk quite a bit the night before. That was the cause of his pounding head.

"You're up? Here, have a glass of this."

Kim Harin had already risen and prepared carrot juice. He took the glass she offered and drank.

"Wow. This is good."

It tasted remarkably good. And on top of that—

The drink even granted a buff. Feeling refreshed, Dohyun washed up lightly and left his room, heading toward his younger brother's.

He knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

"It's me, hyung."

At the word hyung, Dohun responded in a hurry.

"Just a moment!"

There was a flurry of hurried movement inside his brother's room. A short while later, Dohun emerged, slightly sweaty and with an anxious expression.

"What's up?"

"We said we'd talk, didn't we?"

"Ah, right."

The two brothers stepped outside and sat side by side on chairs set up on the terrace.

Dohyun needed to lay out a long-term plan, but first things first—he had to check their combat power.

"Can you show me your status window?"

"Sure. I'll show you right away."

Dohun was developing well as a close-combat specialist. His skills and traits were all excellent, so if he just kept raising his level, there would be very few people he couldn't beat in one-on-one melee combat.

As Dohyun studied his brother's status window, Dohun asked:

"Hyung? Can you show me yours too?"

"Sure."

His status window hadn't changed much in the past month. His level had gone up, but there were no major changes in traits or skills. Still, simply acquiring the Chungmu Soul Sword had caused his combat power to surge dramatically.

After the two brothers checked each other's status windows, Dohyun spoke, thinking about their combined strength.

"You've worked hard for six months."

Six months. The two brothers had traveled extensively and endured much, but looking at these status windows, it felt worthwhile.

"There are five days left until July 1st. Let's rest properly for those five days, and once the second quarter settlement is done, we'll talk further."

"Alright. Then I should probably work out with Gaeun-ssi."

"Yeah, train hard. I thought you were already doing that this morning."

At that, his brother responded with a flustered look.

"No, not that kind of workout. I mean actual exercise. Gaeun-ssi wants to too."

Dohun naturally wanted to grow stronger, and Lee Gaeun still had a strong desire to fight, so the two couples had decided to ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠train together during the remaining time.

After finishing his conversation with his brother, Dohyun returned to his own room.

"You're back."

Kim Harin was waiting for him inside.

"Can you help me pack my bags?"

"Huh? Yes!"

It was rare for him to ask her for something, so Harin nodded immediately.

There was a reason Dohyun was asking Harin to help pack his luggage this time.

"Handle them carefully."

"Yes."

From his bag came various cultural artifacts he'd brought from Seoul.

Dohyun had mainly taken smaller artifacts, so there were small statues, gold objects, and a large number of ancient books and paintings including Buddhist scriptures.

"Wow."

Harin recognized that the items he was pulling out were cultural artifacts, so she carefully received them and began setting them down at regular intervals.

Dohyun had brought a total of sixty-one artifacts. He began checking them one by one.

Most of these are just ordinary cultural artifacts.

Two of them were unranked items whose effects he couldn't determine.

The first was the Gyeongju Nosseo-dong Gold Bracelet. It was a small gold bracelet, but it was an unranked item.

What effect does it have?

He tried wearing it and examined it closely, but he couldn't determine the bracelet's effect at this time.

So Dohyun decided to simply wear it on his arm and wait to see if any effect manifested.

The second unranked item was the Inwangjesaekdo—a masterpiece painting that represented the history of Korean painting.

This is an item too?

After studying the painting for a while, Dohyun said to Harin:

"Harin-ssi, I'll give this painting to you as a gift."

"Huh? Ah!"

Harin received the painting and confirmed it was an unranked item.

"I don't know what the item effect is yet. But someday, it will help you."

"Thank you. I'll take good care of it."

Even though it was an unranked item with an unknown effect, Harin's eyes showed gratitude for the special gift.

Dohyun packed up the artifacts with no apparent effect and stored them in the warehouse of the bunker underground.

Even if they have no effect, they're cultural artifacts.

They were valuable in their own right, so he intended to keep them safely.

After storing all the artifacts in the warehouse and returning to his room—

"Wow... oh."

Kim Harin was there, wearing erotic lingerie made of white mesh. She had a shy expression on her face.

"Um... I tried on one of the lingerie sets you gave me yesterday."

Seeing her shy appearance in the white mesh lingerie, Dohyun—

"I can't hold back!"

He immediately embraced her and fell onto the bed together. And then passionate sex followed.

An hour later.

The intense sex had ended, and Dohyun and Harin lay side by side on the bed.

Dohyun looked quite satisfied, and Harin, her face flushed, radiated affection from her eyes.

"You've gotten skilled, haven't you?"

"Really? Hehe... I studied a lot from the videos on Dohyun-ssi's laptop."

At her use of the word studied, Dohyun smiled with satisfaction, lightly spanked her buttocks, and wore a proud expression.

The two of them had a long conversation on the bed.

"There was more going on than I expected ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠while I was away, huh?"

"Yes, Dongwoo-ssi and the three ladies had quite a lot of tension. They said they were all dating, but there was a lot of jealousy..."

Harin reported in detail about what had happened on the uninhabited island. Dohyun absorbed the information and assessed whether there were any problems.

After they talked for a while—

"Should we get up?"

"Yes, and... next time, I'll prepare something special?"

He was about to end the conversation, but the phrase something special piqued Dohyun's curiosity.

"What kind of preparation?"

"It's a secret..."

"Tell me. I'm curious."

When Dohyun pressed her, Harin seemed to feel embarrassed at the thought and lowered her head before answering.

"I'll prepare my other hole's virginity too."

"Huh? Another hole?"

"Yes...."

At those words, Dohyun couldn't hold back. His member hardened and began to point toward the ceiling.

"Let's do it now!"

When Dohyun said it firmly, Harin was flustered.

"Huh?? But I'm not ready yet..."

When she hesitated, Dohyun immediately grabbed her wrist.

"You can get ready right now."

And following Dohyun's will, Harin went into the bathroom with him.

Once inside the bathroom, Dohyun pulled a small box from the drawer. And inside it—

"Let's start with an enema."

There were tools related to anal sex, including an enema kit.

"Ah...."

"Hurry up."

Harin, flustered, ultimately had to follow Dohyun's pace. She had to do an enema for the first time in her life to empty her insides.

After finishing the preparation, Dohyun and Harin came out of the bathroom. Dohyun made her lie face down, and then—

"Applying lotion."

He began generously applying anal sex-specific lotion around her anus. At the cold sensation, Harin—

"Eh... it feels strange."

"It's fine."

As he said that, he began to loosen her anus with his fingers.

"Ah.. eh.. hah.. ah... hah!"

As his fingers touched around her anus, lewd moans spilled from Harin's mouth. And when it seemed her anus had relaxed—

"Now, I'm going to put it in."

"Yes?... Ahhh!!!!!"

When Dohyun's large member entered ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠her back hole, she tried her best to endure the pain, but—

"It hurts!!!"

She ultimately cried out in pain. But Dohyun kissed her mouth and said—

"Hold on. I'll go slowly and gently."

"Yes... gently.. eh! Slowly! Ahhh!!"

Ultimately, she had to accept Dohyun using his member to penetrate her second hole. And as they continued with anal sex—

"Are you okay?"

"Ahh! It hurts, but it feels good! The thought of giving you even my most intimate place... ugh! But it hurts! Please be gentle!"

Even a message appeared confirming that the Internal Assistance effect had been enhanced. Dohyun verified that Harin truly had his best interests at heart.

On June 30th, when it reached 6 PM—

Five people had gathered in the living room: Kang Dohun, Kang Dohyun, Kim Harin, Lee Gaeun, and Lee Dongwoo.

Once everyone was assembled, Dohun spoke with a serious tone.

"We have six hours left. The moment July 2nd arrives, the second quarter settlement will begin."

After that brief situation report, he continued—

"From now on, once the second quarter settlement starts, I'll explain what each of you will be doing."

His briefing began.
