The Original Protagonist, the First Heroine, My Younger Sister, and I
I snapped my fingers lightly and teleported with Seo Moon-min-hye straight to the top floor of Yucheon Hotel.
"Welcome, sir."
The hotel manager bowed politely without showing any surprise at my sudden appearance. It was only natural—he had been handpicked by Baalzebul and bound by a loyalty contract, making him completely trustworthy. With such an enormous salary and stable position, he approached his work with genuine enthusiasm.
"Prepare a private dining room where only my sister and I can eat undisturbed."
"Understood."
This wasn't the first time I'd dined alone with Seo Moon-min-hye at the hotel restaurant. I'd brought her here often enough that the manager was already accustomed to her presence. She, too, recognized his face and offered a light smile with a slight nod. He responded with a small smile of his own before making a quick call on his phone.
"Your room is ready, young master. Allow me to escort you."
"No need. We've been here enough times that we can find it ourselves. Just the two of us will be fine."
The manager nodded immediately at my refusal.
"As you wish."
"Thank you for your service."
Leaving the manager's office on the top floor, I kept holding Seo Moon-min-hye's hand as we walked.
"Every time we come here, I realize just how impressive you really are, Oppa."
Even though she'd visited many times before, Seo Moon-min-hye still looked around the hotel with genuine admiration in her eyes. There was even a hint of pride mixed in. After all, while the rest of the world only knew me as the heir to Yucheon Group, she alone knew the truth—that I was the actual owner.
"Your brother is pretty impressive, isn't he?"
Anyone else might have found my tone slightly arrogant, but Seo Moon-min-hye beamed and nodded enthusiastically.
"Yeah! I think you're amazing too. To think they kicked out someone as incredible as you… I can never forgive Father or our little brother."
Her cheerful voice took on a sharp edge of hostility toward the end. Over the past four years living with me, she had transferred all the affection she once held for Seo Moon-hyun in the original story entirely to me. At the same time, she had grown to despise the Seo family and our father, Seo Moon-kang-hyuk, for casting me out at the age of five simply because I hadn't awakened magic power. She also harbored deep disappointment and contempt for our younger brother, Seo Moon-hyun, though she hid it well behind a facade of maturity.
"You're right. I have no intention of forgiving them either."
As I spoke, I took her hand again. The warmth of her skin was pleasant, but what I liked most was the vibrant life I felt from her.
You're mine forever.
The four years I'd spent with Seo Moon-min-hye hadn't been bad at all. While my desire for revenge against Seo Moon-hyun and the Seo family remained as strong as ever, my affection for her had grown considerably. I wanted to make her my woman for eternity—mine alone for the rest of our lives. The thought of her carrying my child filled me with anticipation.
"Oppa, I'll always be on your side."
When I reaffirmed that I wouldn't forgive our father and brother, Seo Moon-min-hye declared her loyalty. I stopped walking and placed my hand on her shoulder.
"Thank you, Min-hye."
I smiled gently at her words. She smiled back, and I leaned down to press a light kiss on her forehead.
"Hehe~"
Seo Moon-min-hye giggled happily. I had to suppress the urge to kiss her lips right then and there. I couldn't afford to rush things now.
"Let's keep going."
"Okay!"
Hand in hand, we descended the private staircase reserved for the top floor and entered a secluded dining room. Though connected to the main kitchen via a hallway, this space was completely hidden from other guests—a private area created specifically for Seo Moon-min-hye and me to dine together.
"Have a seat, Min-hye."
"Okay!"
She sat right beside me without hesitation, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. I preferred having her close enough to reach easily rather than sitting across from each other. Besides, sitting face-to-face would become inconvenient once I started bringing other heroines here.
I'll bring the others eventually, but for now…
A holographic menu appeared in front of us. We could order by touching the items, and pressing the empty space below allowed us to add special requests. The entire system was powered by an artifact I'd personally created.
"Hmm~ What should we get?"
While watching Seo Moon-min-hye happily browsing the menu with a bright expression, I spoke up.
"Order whatever you want. I'm the owner of this hotel, after all. If you see something you like, don't hesitate. If you're unsure, we can just get small portions of several dishes."
There was no need to pay—the hotel staff wouldn't dare charge the supposed heir of Yucheon Group. Still, I always left generous tips after each meal, which was why they welcomed my visits.
I used to tip two million won per person.
Of course, that was only for those involved in preparing our food, especially the ones who worked the hardest, who received an extra million.
"Then I'll order these."
As Seo Moon-min-hye touched several menu items and requested quarter portions through voice input, I watched her profile from the side.
She's getting more beautiful every day.
Her beauty was flawless even from this angle. My desire for her grew stronger with each passing day. Beyond my revenge against Seo Moon-hyun, I wanted Seo Moon-min-hye herself—no matter what.
"All done!"
Having selected drinks as well, Seo Moon-min-hye smiled in satisfaction. While I'd chosen a modest Korean set meal, she'd picked a variety of dishes to try a little of everything.
[The food has been served.]
Thanks to priority preparation, the dishes arrived almost immediately. Plates floated through the air and settled neatly onto the table as an artificial voice—not a real staff member's—announced their arrival. It was the AI I'd built into the artifact.
"Eek~ Hot~"
After gazing happily at the spread of food, Seo Moon-min-hye suddenly lifted herself from her chair and plopped down onto my lap. This wasn't unusual—we did this quite often—so I naturally wrapped my arm around her waist and pulled her close.
"Huhu, Min-hye. Trying to eat like this again?"
"Yeah! I think this position is the best when eating with you, Oppa. Hehe~"
Still smiling, she asked in a playful tone.
"Oppa, how do you feel? Aren't you happy having such a pretty and cute little sister sitting on your lap like this?"
"Huhu, yeah. I'm really happy."
I was sorely tempted to slip my hand under her skirt. Suppressing that thought, I resisted the urge to drool at the sweet scent of her body. Did she even realize she looked more delicious than all the gourmet dishes on the table? The feel of her hips against me was especially provocative.
Min-hye, you're definitely going to be my wife. And while seeking my favor, you'll be shaking that tempting ass for me every single day.
Keeping those thoughts hidden, I watched her begin eating on my lap and slowly started my own meal. Dining while breathing in her sweet fragrance and feeling the softness of her body was quite enjoyable. Holding back was troublesome, but I'd grown used to it.
More importantly, this kind of skinship is affecting her feelings too. It's necessary work.
In the original story, Seo Moon-hyun and Seo Moon-min-hye had been very close. She'd been just as affectionate and playful with him as she was with me now. However, because they'd grown up together since childhood, the Westermarck effect had kept their relationship platonic. Unlike Seo Moon-hyun, though, I had only appeared in her life when she was thirteen. Even if she had faint memories of me from before, they were just that—faint. That was why the Westermarck effect didn't apply to us, and she was gradually beginning to see me as a man rather than just her brother. Yet she deliberately ignored those feelings, acting friendly and seeking affection from me as her older brother.
"Oppa, ah~"
While I was watching her eat, Seo Moon-min-hye turned slightly and held up a piece of steak she'd picked up with her fingers, offering it to my mouth.
"Thanks."
I accepted the steak and deliberately licked her fingers in the process. She simply smiled happily, as if pleased that I'd eaten what she offered.
"How is it? Doesn't it taste even better when your cute and lovely little sister feeds you, Oppa?"
"Yeah, it's really good. But Min-hye, eat plenty yourself. Even though the table has a warming function, food is best enjoyed while it's hot."
"Okay!"
Watching her resume eating, I smiled at the sight of her swaying blue hair from behind. It seemed I was becoming genuinely obsessed with Seo Moon-min-hye.
And with my revenge as well.
In three years, once Seo Moon-hyun reached the peak of his happiness at the academy, I would make him experience a sudden and devastating fall. That obsession with revenge was just as strong.
