Chapter Title: The New Technique is Useful!
"W-what's with the sudden question!"
"It's about love, isn't it?"
"That's exactly it! Cough! Why are you asking?"
"Obviously, I'm curious how things are going between you and Ye-seul since you're my friend. I told you I'd help you two get together."
"Well, sure, but..."
"I need to know how far you've gotten before I can give you any advice."
"We can't offer proper guidance without the details."
"Yume, aren't you curious too?"
"Uh... yeah. Honestly, I am."
'Not a single person on my side!'
Isihoon felt the deepest sense of isolation he'd experienced all day.
"So, how far have you gone? Have you kissed?"
"K-kiss...? You!"
"Have you or haven't you? Spill it."
"K-kissing is a given!"
"Oh? When? Tell us everything."
"A most intriguing topic."
"Si-hoon, come on, tell us!"
"You guys are...!"
Isihoon didn't want to talk out of sheer embarrassment, but he couldn't withstand the pressure from the three of them and finally spilled it.
On the way home after volunteer work, as they were parting ways, Isihoon offered to walk Ye-seul Kim to her house.
She didn't refuse, so he mustered his courage, took her hand, and they walked home together.
They strolled along, faces flushed with youthful innocence, completely losing track of time.
Before they knew it, they'd arrived at Ye-seul's house.
Feeling a pang of regret but resigning himself to leave, Isihoon was stopped when Ye-seul called out to him.
"Si-hoon!"
"Yeah? What's up, Ye-seul...?"
The moment he turned at the sound of her voice calling him...
Mwah! Ye-seul planted a kiss on his cheek.
Isihoon's face turned beet red in an instant. Hers did too, flushed a deep crimson.
"Get home safe!"
"Y-yeah."
Isihoon stood there dazed, watching Ye-seul's back as she entered her house. He touched his cheek, still tingling from the sensation of her lips.
"That was my first k-kiss. You all heard it!"
He poured out the story while fighting back his embarrassment, but Rubelt, Yume, and Rize all wore incredibly ambiguous expressions.
"W-what's with those faces! What's that supposed to mean! Is something wrong with it!"
"No, your story's fine, Si-hoon. If anything, it's so pure and sweet it makes me grin like a proud dad."
"What's with that evaluation!"
"Just hear me out to the end."
"Ugh."
"Si-hoon. I was talking about kissing, okay? I never said pecking. Are you seriously calling a cheek peck a kiss?"
"..."
Isihoon averted his gaze from Rubelt.
He hadn't even kissed her yet, so in his frustration, he'd passed off the peck as a kiss.
Rubelt, who'd known him for so long, saw right through it.
"Why tell such an obvious lie that'll get busted right away, Si-hoon? It's kinda pitiful, man."
"Shut up! F-fine, how far have you gone then! You've got your harem too, so with all those girls, you're probably around my level!"
""Hmm?"""
"Huh? W-what? It's true! Yume, you too! You and Rubelt have only gone as far as p-pecks, right!"
"Huh?! Uh, well... that's..."
Yume looked incredibly awkward under Si-hoon's probing and avoided his eyes.
"Huh? What's with that reaction? No way... you've gone further? Guh! Fine. A kiss, maybe. Rubelt's the type to go that far, right? But I'll kiss Ye-seul soon too...!"
"Si-hoon."
"What!"
Rubelt decided to correct the biggest misunderstanding Isihoon had right now.
"You seem to be misunderstanding something. Yume and Rize are my women."
"Who said otherwise! So what?"
"When a guy proudly declares that about his girls, how far do you think we've gone?"
"How far...? Well..."
Isihoon pondered deeply before reaching a conclusion.
"N-no way...!"
His eyes shot wide open as he stared at his three friends.
And right on cue, Rubelt pulled Yume and Rize close by their shoulders. Rize leaned her head on his shoulder, while Yume blushed furiously but still shyly placed her hand on his chest.
"Guh!"
Understanding what it meant, Isihoon realized the shocking truth and reflexively shoved his fist into his mouth.
Si-hoon was frozen in a hilarious pose of shock.
After three seconds, he pulled his fist from his mouth and looked at us with trembling eyes.
"Y-you guys... when the heck did you...?"
Si-hoon, the textbook dense protagonist.
I'd thought living with me had made him a bit more open-minded and quick on the uptake.
But his thinking and relationship progress were still pure dense protag material.
To think they'd been dating over a month and were still stuck at pecks.
It was like a shoujo manga at its peak popularity dragging things out forever just to milk more cash.
I had no intention of meddling in someone else's love life.
But the person in question was my friend Si-hoon.
I knew bone-deep how amazing and blissful sex was with the woman you love.
So as someone who did, I wanted my good buddy Si-hoon to experience that happiness ASAP—and ideally, do it smoothly and skillfully.
'That's why I told him to let me know when he's gonna do it...'
At this rate, he might not get there until his senior year of high school.
'First, I need to provoke him into being more aggressive and open about advancing things.'
I boldly addressed the flustered Si-hoon.
"Huh? The day after we got together, obviously."
"The day after!?"
"Yeah, it was fast, but I have zero regrets. Right, Yume?"
"Huh?! Uh, y-yeah♡"
"Wha-wha...?"
Si-hoon stared at Yume and me in disbelief.
Well, yeah, he'd react like that.
It's not easy imagining your friends you've known forever banging, even if you know they're dating.
But now was the time to hammer home the reality with maximum shock value.
"Yume's always cute, but that night... she was even cuter and more lovable. How lovable, you ask...?"
"D-don't say it...!"
Si-hoon plugged his ears and trembled.
"I don't wanna hear about my friend's graphic first-night details...!"
"R-Rubelt. I'm embarrassed too, so maybe not..."
"Hmm. I just wanted to brag about the memories I made with my beloved Yume."
"Ah... if that's what you want, Rubelt, it's okay to tell Si-hoon. He supported us a lot too..."
"Yume, don't give in there! Be more embarrassed! And Rubelt, don't talk about this stuff here! This is a family restaurant!"
"Hm, fair point. Should we move somewhere else then?"
"What?"
I brought Si-hoon back to the mansion with Yume and Rize.
"Oh, Si-hoon! Yume! Welcome home!"
"Hahaha! Good to see you!"
"H-hello! Uncle, Aunt."
"Hello. U-Uncle, A-Aunt..."
"Oh dear! Yume, still feeling awkward, I see!"
"You can call us Mom and Dad! Ohohoho!"
"Th-that's... we're not even married yet..."
"Dating Rubelt is as good as being married!"
"That's right. Our Rubelt's so responsible and upstanding! Once he commits to a girl, he never lets her go."
"Hahaha! Naturally, Mom! Dad! Yume's gonna be my wife too!"
"Ah, aaaah...!"
On the way back, we'd stopped by to greet Mom and Dad.
Yume was still adorably awkward treating them like in-laws, and Si-hoon eyed her with a hint of sympathy.
After greetings, we headed to my room.
"Um... Rubelt. Why'd you bring me to the mansion?"
"I'll explain soon. First... wait outside for a bit. I need to talk to Yume and Rize privately."
"Huh? O-okay."
Si-hoon stepped out, and I turned to Yume and Rize.
"Yume, Rize. Be honest... don't you think Si-hoon's progress is slow?"
"It is slow."
"Well... everyone moves at their own pace. But yeah... I think it's slow."
"As his friend, I just want Si-hoon to be happy sooner. But seeing him now, it feels like it'll take forever."
"I agree."
"Even Si-hoon won't take that long. ...Probably."
"Yume, Rize. I... I want Si-hoon to find happiness faster. So today, I want to take special measures for him."
"Special measures? Like what?"
"To do this, I need your cooperation."
I put on a serious face and told Yume and Rize.
"We'll do it right in front of Si-hoon... and teach him how sex is done!"
"What!?"
"Hm. So that's the direction, huh."
"Sh-show him us doing it and t-teach him!? That's...!"
"I know it's plenty embarrassing, Yume. But... for Si-hoon and Ye-seul's happiness, I really want to prescribe this treatment!"
"B-but... uuu."
"Young Master. Just to confirm... you're not suggesting one of us sleep with Si-hoon to give him a preview, right?"
"Of course not! I'd never! Even if he's a friend, why would he be sleeping with my women!"
"I see."
"Phew, not that then."
"Obviously. Besides, Si-hoon's virginity... belongs to Ye-seul!"
"Uh... but will just watching be enough prep?"
"Don't worry, Yume! I've got a way. So... can you both agree?"
"If it's what you want, Young Master, I'll do anything."
"M-me too! It's embarrassing, but it's f-fine! If Rubelt wants it, I'll do it!"
"Thank you!"
Having women who understood and went along with me made me truly happy.
With their permission, I pulled out my phone to prepare the tool for Si-hoon's preview.
[Hello! What can I do for you, Young Master!]
I called Hubunkun.
