The Hot Spring Owner, Ju Seoyeon (1)
Clatter.
Clatter.
Ju Seoyeon was washing the dishes after finishing her meal.
Drip.
'Oh... I just changed my underwear.'
The handsome young master who had kindly carried the dishes to the kitchen kept popping into her mind.
Perhaps that was why her innocent panties were getting soaked with water.
The words he left behind, looking at her with deep, soulful eyes.
They both already knew exactly what he meant by "looking forward to it."
'Was I the type to fall in love so easily, enough to fall for a man I met for the first time today...?'
She even thought that.
But.
She didn't need to look in a mirror to know what her face looked like when she had bowed her head, unable to say a word in response.
She must have been blushing like a teenage girl in her first love, desperately trying to suppress the corners of her mouth that kept wanting to curl upward.
'Have I fallen for the young master?'
She wasn't quite sure about that part yet.
Ju Seoyeon had lived her entire life without knowing men.
Of course, having lived over thirty years, she had encountered many men.
But the problem was that those men were usually terrible.
Her gambling father and the debt collectors were like that.
When she worked, the perverted boss and the employees who made lewd passes were the same.
Things had calmed down quite a bit since she started working here, but still.
There were few who could leave a beautiful woman working alone in peace.
In the end, she had stubbornly built a wall to push them away, but the loneliness embedded in her heart only grew larger.
That was when she met him: Baek Jihan, the son of Baek Sera.
Perfect looks and a perfect background.
He was kind, but the playful personality he showed at times was also charming.
On top of that.
Rub, rub.
The sensation of that massive thing rubbing against her solar plexus.
The majesty of it, which she had witnessed when the woman called Anna was 'serving' him, refused to leave her mind.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Ju Seoyeon shook her head, trying to shake off the wicked thoughts cluttering her mind.
But a new concern soon arose.
"They were all so beautiful."
She had known for a while that they weren't just an ordinary family.
Of course, she hadn't known their relationship was one where they would engage in lewd acts without hesitation even while others were watching.
Judging by the atmosphere, it seemed everyone, including the Chairwoman, had that kind of relationship with the young master.
"Will he even like me?"
The worry that started with 'Am I an easy woman?' expanded into a concern about 'Am I a woman worthy of the young master?'
"Tsk... I'm popular wherever I go, too."
The problem was that the women surrounding him were no ordinary people either.
Then, there was only one answer.
"I have to do my best."
That is how I will repay the Chairwoman's kindness.
She reaffirmed her resolve and continued washing the dishes.
The sunset had long since vanished, but her face, thinking of Jihan, remained flushed.
She had already fallen for Jihan.
It is no exaggeration to say that for such a lodging facility with a great view, the atmosphere accounts for 50% of the price.
You know how cafes with a direct view of Haeundae charge over ten thousand won for a cup of coffee?
And 40% goes into ingredients and various service costs.
Maybe the remaining 10% is the dopamine detox fee for modern people who aren't immune to life in the deep mountains.
Naturally, that didn't apply to me.
"Hahaha, so I told that idiot..."
"Really? And then?"
"Hic... I told him so many times to kill his temper."
"What are you talking about, sister? I ended it with words, but if it were you, you would've beaten him to a pulp."
The succubi, who had been sipping alcohol while eating, were now quite tipsy.
It wasn't exactly a fascinating story, but alcohol is the best seasoning for conversation.
Watching them giggle with flushed cheeks, even I, who hadn't been drinking, felt happy.
Bounce, bounce!
Whenever Mina-noona reacted excessively, I could see her cleavage through her loosened yukata.
Stealing glances at that was also a huge treat.
"Son."
"Did you call for me?"
Just then, I heard Mother's voice calling from inside.
Perhaps because she had separated the living room and bedroom, I opened another sliding door inside the room and approached her.
"You might not know since you've only dealt with succubi, but there are many things to be careful about when having sex with a human."
As soon as I sat next to Mother, the education began, and I nodded silently.
I already knew the basics, but I listened intently to what followed, thinking that no one could know better than Mother.
"If you do it as intensely as you do with us, the aftereffects will be huge. Especially if she's a virgin like Manager Ju."
"Hasn't Maman done something about it?"
There was no way Mother wouldn't have taken any measures for the woman she had prepared for me.
She was even prepared to be embraced by a man she met for the first time today.
When I asked with that thought in mind, Mother smiled faintly.
"She was already a beautiful and kind child. So I didn't do anything special. Of course, one of the reasons she decided to serve Jihan today is to repay me."
'I can certainly say that part was handled by me.'
I deeply agreed with what followed.
Perhaps that was the biggest reason.
"But more importantly, whatever the reason, it means an opportunity has arisen for Jihan. You've easily reached an intermediate goal that would have otherwise required a difficult and cumbersome process."
—Hahaha!
My gaze drifted for a moment to the loud laughter coming from beyond the thin sliding door.
But soon, I looked back at Mother.
"I shouldn't miss that opportunity."
"Fufu, that was the point I wanted to make. I nagged a bit out of worry, but... I always trust my son, don't I?"
"I won't let you down."
I promised Mother with a face full of resolve.
And I never break my promises.
Perhaps it was because even my way of thinking had been remodeled by the succubi.
I had tried never to break the small but precious rules they emphasized, and I would continue to do so.
"Now, let's go back to the previous topic."
"You were saying not to treat her roughly, right?"
"That's right."
After that, Mother's sex education continued.
Before I knew it, it was ten o'clock.
Avoiding the chatter of the succubi that showed no signs of ending, I headed to Manager Ju's room.
It was a small detached building quite a distance from the main building where the guest rooms were located.
I arrived in front of it and knocked on the door.
Knock, knock, knock!
"Manager. May I come in?"
—Yes, Young Master. The door is open.
At that answer, I opened the door.
I saw Manager Ju sitting politely under the window, wearing a red kimono.
The pouring full moon.
Beneath it, the trees beginning to bear leaves and the woman on the verge of blooming into a true woman caught my gaze.
Unlike before, she wasn't bundled up, but wearing a daring outfit that revealed her figure to the fullest.
And from her face with a faint blush and her eyes that couldn't look at me directly, I could tell what kind of resolve Manager Ju had made.
'Beautiful.'
Pretty, sexy, arousing, etc.
There are many words men use to evaluate women.
But.
'The modifier that suits Manager Ju is beauty.'
An emotion I had never felt for women other than the succubi surged within me.
'A woman who has finished her resolve can be this beautiful...'
It was still early for flowers to bloom.
Yet, for some reason, the trees and flowers around Manager Ju looked lush.
The sight even made me hallucinate as if a butterfly had flown in search of a beautiful flower.
'The sex education I received from Mother has become meaningless.'
There's no way I wouldn't treat such a woman with care.
The desire to protect, cherish, and treasure her welled up.
And among those, the most prioritized feeling was, of course, sexual desire.
I wanted to take everything she had in exchange for treating her with care.
Starting with that luscious body.
Soon, her heart and thoughts.
In the end, I wanted to make her entire life exist solely for me.
"..."
Was it because I had spent too long lost in thought?
She spoke before I did.
"I will introduce myself properly again. I am Ju Seoyeon, who manages the hot spring under Chairwoman Baek Sera."
She greeted me with her hands neatly folded.
"Young Master, you don't have to call me Manager... you can call me whatever is comfortable."
Does redefining the title mean she wants to redefine our relationship?
I readily responded to the meaning contained within.
"Then, I'll call you Seoyeon."
"...Yes, Young Master. You don't have to use honorifics either."
"I'll do that if Seoyeon calls me by my name too."
At those words, Ju Seoyeon rolled her eyes for a moment, swallowed hard, and then.
"T-then... Jihan-ssi?"
*Erection!*
Because she was looking up at me with innocent, naive eyes, my cock, which had been gauging the situation, became fully erect.
But even a judge would acknowledge this.
Because there wouldn't be a man alive who wouldn't get an erection looking at a woman like this.
"Nice, maybe it's because it's the first time I've been called that. It's unique and fresh."
"F-first..."
Seoyeon, who especially liked my words about it being the first time.
I was beginning to understand a little bit about the feelings this woman held for me.
Perhaps she had truly fallen for me.
Since she had the pretext of needing to repay the Chairwoman's kindness, that must have lit the fuse.
She hadn't just kept it in her heart, but had made it lead to action.
Of course, I wasn't sure if Seoyeon herself had noticed those feelings.
Having lived a life so far removed from love, it was quite possible she didn't know.
"Then, shall I see what Seoyeon has prepared?"
"Yes, Jihan-ssi. Please come this way."
Seoyeon guided me with modest, mincing steps.
I followed her, looking around.
The detached building where she stayed had a similar atmosphere to the guest rooms.
The only difference was that there was a bed.
However, she guided me not to the bed, but to what looked like a mattress placed next to it.
"It's a waterbed. I've been preparing it since I got the call from the Chairwoman."
It seemed she had guessed to some extent what the way to repay the Chairwoman was from that moment on.
'She's even offering her body for a young master she's never even seen before?'
That loyalty was almost a little frightening.
But if I thought that loyalty was directed at me, it couldn't be better.
Now, everything depended on me.
After she laid me on the bed, I steeled my heart, watching Seoyeon start to take something out.
