Chapter Title: Chicken and Compromises
A short while later, Seo Jubin arrived at my place, her hands full of chicken bags.
“You’re here.”
“...Yes. I brought the chicken you asked for.”
“I never thought I’d end up sending you, of all people, on an errand like this. Thanks for the trouble. Come on in.”
Seo Jubin’s steps halted abruptly at the entrance as she started to follow me inside.
“……?!”
Her gaze locked onto the two women lounging on the living room sofa.
Yupia, legs crossed, wearing nothing but a loose shirt.
And next to her, Lilith, naked save for an apron, wiggling her hips.
“...What is this?”
Seo Jubin’s face went slack in real time, like her soul was draining out of her.
Her eyes behind her glasses shook like there was an earthquake.
“What kind of mess is this?”
“Oh, right—late introductions. These are my roommates.”
I casually took the chicken bags from her.
“You know them, don’t you? Yupia and Lilith.”
“Kim Seonghwa!”
Seo Jubin screamed my name like a banshee.
She charged toward me, looking ready to grab me by the collar even after I’d taken the bags.
“Are you insane? Letting S-Rank Villains into your home? Two of them!”
“Calm down. There are circumstances.”
“Circumstances? How could you help these villains escape the Association and put Seola in danger...!”
I replied calmly to soothe her.
“I told you, there are circumstances.”
“What circumstances? Do you even know what kind of monsters these women are? You need to kick them out right now! Or better yet, call Seola this instant...!”
Seo Jubin reached for her phone.
At that moment, Yupia snorted from the sofa.
“Hmph. Still the same glasses bitch. Shut up.”
“What did you say?”
“Go ahead, call them. We’ll spill everything. Like what you and Kim Seonghwa were doing in this house. If you knew what photos I have, you wouldn’t act so tough.”
Seo Jubin’s face turned ghostly white at Yupia’s threat.
‘Come to think of it, Yupia spied on us from the closet and while stealthed. And Lilith even has photos of me and her going at it.’
Her hand trembled around her phone as she glared at me.
“...Kim Seonghwa, you explain. What the hell is going on?”
“Sit down first. The chicken’s gonna get cold.”
I guided her to a dining chair and opened the chicken box.
The savory aroma of fried oil filled the air, and Yupia and Lilith lunged like zombies.
“Wooow! Chicken!”
“Thanks for the meal!”
The two villains tore into drumsticks without a shred of dignity.
Mouths smeared with sauce, they devoured it like starving beasts.
Seo Jubin watched the scene with contempt before turning to me.
“So, what’s this proposal of yours?”
“Simple.”
I cracked open a beer can she’d thoughtfully bought extra and set it in front of her.
‘She probably got it thinking we’d settle in for some beer and chicken before getting it on.’
Whatever. Good instincts are good instincts.
Anyway.
“These two want to make some money. And I can only leech off me so much.”
“Money?”
“Yeah. So they’re gonna do ‘villain hunting.’ Catch wanted bounties and turn them in.”
“……Ha?”
Seo Jubin looked utterly baffled.
“Villains catching villains? Might as well give the fish to the cat.”
“It’s plenty feasible. They can sniff out their own kind. Finding the ones in hiding is a piece of cake.”
I nodded toward Lilith.
“Plus, with her shadow movement ability, delivery after capture will be quick.”
“But it’s dangerous.”
Seo Jubin shook her head.
“What if they build up strength and rebel? Or worse, gather villains into an army?”
“What’re you yapping about, glasses bitch? I’m not an idiot—betray this stud again and I’ll be hated forever! I’d never do that, you moron!”
“Quiet, Yupia.”
Yupia whipped her head away at my words and went back to her chicken.
Seo Jubin continued, still looking at them like bugs.
“They seem tame now, but they’re ticking time bombs. You need to kick them out or isolate them immediately.”
“I’ll handle it.”
I said firmly.
“I can control them. If they cause trouble, they’re out. And without my permission, they can’t even use their powers.”
“Even with your abilities, Seonghwa, perfectly controlling S-Rank Villains is...”
“I can.”
I looked at Yupia.
She froze mid-bone-picking, sensing my gaze.
“Hey. What’d I say happens if you don’t listen?”
“...No food.”
Yupia mumbled in a tiny voice.
“And?”
“...You kick me out.”
“Right. Good girl.”
I turned back to Seo Jubin.
“See? They drop everything at my word. Their lifeline’s in my hands. If they ever betray me again and get kidnapped or imprisoned, this sweet, peaceful life ends forever. For them too.”
Yupia reacted instantly.
“No way! It’s not just about the sex—I love living like this! I’d never do that! A hundred times better hanging with this perv stud in this comfy spot!”
Seo Jubin looked incredulous.
The mighty Yupia submitting to a man just to keep a normal roof over her head?
‘I get why it looks like acting. I thought the same.’
The chance that Yupia was faking utter loyalty for this life.
I’d considered it, but realized quick.
‘Yupia’s terrible at lying.’
Plus, Seo Jubin knew my essence’s taste firsthand.
Having experienced that addiction herself, she’d understand why they were like this.
“And don’t you need results too, Jubin?”
I dangled the bait slyly.
“Criminals caught by S-Rank Villains. Log it as achievements for your ‘special collaborators,’ and it’ll be a huge boost. Help with promotions too.”
“…….”
Her eyes wavered.
Public good versus personal gain. Safety versus risk.
But the clincher was something else.
“If you turn a blind eye...”
I stretched my foot under the table, nudging her leg.
“I’ll give you the same as last time.”
“……!”
Her face flushed crimson.
That one phrase resurrected last night’s memories in her mind.
‘Choked, slapped, pounded like an animal—that pleasure’s irreplaceable unless someone else can match it.’
Her thighs rubbed together unconsciously, visible even from across the table.
“...For real?”
“Yeah. I guarantee it.”
Seo Jubin swallowed hard.
‘She won’t refuse. She can’t.’
Rejecting meant risking losing her drug—me.
And watching these villain bitches hog me.
“...Fine.”
She surrendered.
“But on one condition. All reports come directly to me. And...”
She adjusted her glasses and added,
“...I’ll drop by for inspections whenever. To make sure no funny business.”
Supervision as an excuse for personal indulgence.
Obvious ulterior motives, but I played dumb and nodded.
“Perfect. Deal.”
Meal over, chicken boxes cleared.
Business done, a strange tension filled the living room.
Bellies full, instincts awakening maybe.
Lilith sidled up to me slyly.
“Master.”
She settled lightly on my thigh.
Her apron hiked up, bare pale ass pressing softly against me.
“We ate... now for dessert...”
She toyed with her apron strings.
Untie the back bow, and even that flimsy cover would expose her fully.
Right in front of Seo Jubin.
“What the hell are you doing?!”
Seo Jubin shot up, yelling.
Her face beet red.
“We have a guest! No manners? I let you stay quiet out of respect for Seonghwa, and you forget your place?!”
“Oh? A guest?”
Lilith smirked lewdly and wrapped her arms around my neck.
“We’re family. You’re the intruder. Right, Master?”
She breathed hot against my ear, licking the rim with her tongue.
“Haa... Master’s scent... I want more...”
Seo Jubin’s fists trembled.
Stuff she held back for decorum, this cheap succubus did without shame.
Claiming my lap, inhaling my scent, coquettish without a hint of humiliation.
That was when.
“Move. Queen goes first.”
Yupia cut in from the other side.
And shot Seo Jubin a venomous grin.
“Last time, you did it right in front of me.”
“...What?”
Seo Jubin couldn’t comprehend.
She didn’t know Yupia had hidden in the closet.
“This time, I’ll do you while you watch.”
Yupia’s fingers undid my shirt buttons.
Her hand naturally dove toward my chest.
“Haa... even bare skin feels this good...”
“Y-You maniac...!”
Seo Jubin shuddered in horror.
She probably wanted to bolt.
But her feet stuck to the floor like glued.
Meanwhile, I clicked my tongue inwardly.
‘Wait till she leaves, then pounce. They’re escalating on purpose with her here. Damn egos.’
This would turn into chaos if left alone.
Suddenly.
‘To really lock down Seo Jubin...’
This was the chance.
Hit her with stronger stimulus, make escape impossible.
One-on-one wasn’t enough.
This depraved setup, superiority over rivals.
That might be her trigger to madness.
I gently caught Yupia’s hand caressing my chest under my shirt.
And met her eyes.
‘You know. Use it when the time’s right.’
Yupia’s eyes sparkled.
She got it instantly.
My signal, the scheme—nailed it.
I could read her thoughts just from her eyes too.
‘Heh. Perverted stud. Full villain now.’
Plain as day.
Yupia smirked, purple mana dust faintly rising from her fingertips.
Dispersing in the air, it dulled reason and maxed arousal for inhalers.
“Jubin.”
I called her.
She flinched and looked.
Yupia’s aphrodisiac spreading slowly, her pupils dilating bit by bit.
“Want me to pay for the chicken now?”
“Huh...?”
“Or if you mind them watching, later’s fine.”
Pure provocation.
If you’re bold, demand it now.
Prove you’re my ‘first partner’ in front of these villains.
That temptation.
Seo Jubin bit her lip.
Couldn’t just watch succubi devour me.
‘Even without Yupia’s prank, jealousy and possessiveness would shake her. With aphro added...’
She couldn’t hold back instinct anymore.
And my hunch,
“...I’ll take it now.”
Hit dead on.
