Chapter Title: Yoon Sua's Painful Truth
-----------------------------------------------------------------
“I'm really sorry about today!”
I've seen people bow their waists plenty of times before. But what the hell was that? Every time Yoon Sua bent and straightened her back, those things jiggled in a way that defied all reason. And that was with a bra on, no less...
'Just how big are they?'
From what I could tell, at least E-cup. If I was being generous, maybe even F.
The amazing part was that her body wasn't huge overall. Yoon Sua was petite and delicate everywhere except her chest. That's why she always reminded me of Kerberos. You know, the three-headed one. Yeah.
'C-cups and D-cups felt pretty big to me already. But those... I can't even imagine what they'd feel like unleashed.'
Yoon Sua was bowing repeatedly, apologizing profusely for what happened today. But her words weren't registering. All I heard was “sorry... blah blah blah,” while my eyes stayed glued to her chest.
A quick glance at Hana and Ae-bom beside her showed they had their own generous curves, but nothing that could compete with Yoon Sua's.
Short stature. Slim waist. Massive chest?
This was some legendary pocket monster shit.
“Sua unnie! Feel free to kick her ass!”
Huh?
“He's apologizing seriously and saying thanks, but his eyes have been locked on your overwhelming boobs the whole time. Flying knee to the pervert's face? Totally justified!”
Fuck. Busted.
Just like Hana said, I'd been staring like a brain-dead idiot. Snapping out of it, I found both women glaring at me with ice-cold eyes. The kind you give to garbage.
Meanwhile, the one who had the most right to be pissed—Yoon Sua—subtly lifted her chest from below with an innocent smile.
“Hyunwoo can look all he wants. It's not like they're gonna wear out from it.”
Is she an angel?
“Besides, I owe you so much. I could never repay you enough.”
Why did my conscience suddenly sting? Still, part of me felt relieved. It was because a woman this pure and devoted was acting that way.
“Boo-hoo, how does such a sweet unnie end up with Hyunwoo oppa? Did God die or what?”
You're gonna get divine punishment saying that. And why me? I'd even gotten a quest from someone who might be a god.
If anything, it was that god who turned me into this blatant pervert.
Dragging women into the one-room, and not just one, but banging both of them.
[…….]
Suddenly, the back of my head prickled. Nah, just my imagination.
“Let me brew some coffee before we talk.”
“Unnie! Mine iced!”
“Got it.”
Things were starting to feel normal again, like Yoon Sua's breakdown today was all a dream. She calmly served us coffee.
But.
“Let me explain my situation again.”
What happened today was no illusion.
Yoon Sua spoke in a sorrowful voice.
“I've been frail since birth. No medical explanation for it. Just no stamina. Extremely low. You saw today—I can't even walk like normal people. Hospitals tested me over and over, even abroad, but nothing. If I had to name it, 'congenital life force deficiency'? That's the vibe. And it's not just my body; my lifespan isn't long either.”
Her words left us all stunned.
“That can't be... no way...!”
“Yeah, unnie. I've never heard of anything like that...”
The two women, about to shout reflexively, fell silent.
“Hehe.”
Yoon Sua let out a small laugh. That tiny sound carried so many emotions now that I could see them: resignation, resentment, sorrow... sadness and fear.
But what pinned us in place was her attitude—like our reactions were all too familiar.
“The funny thing? All tests show my body is perfectly fine. So in elementary school, when I tried to attend anyway, everyone thought I was faking it. Malingering.”
She did look healthy on the surface. No one would guess she couldn't handle a proper walk.
'She said she was a bit dim before.'
Guess that was a polite way of saying she lacked health. Made sense now.
“......”
Hana and Ae-bom looked unconvinced. Fair enough—it sounded like a fairy tale, too far-fetched.
Me too, probably. Before facing that quest, I'd have reacted the same.
[The effect of the Elixir (Replica) is a degraded version of the potion containing a god's miracle.]
If I hadn't seen that impossible shit right in front of me.
“With health like that, how do you manage in a cramped one-room like Terra with such poor conditions?”
My question made all three women widen their eyes.
“Hyunwoo, you're just accepting that like it's no big deal?”
“Right, oppa. Does that even make sense? Born without health? But the body's fine otherwise? Come on.”
I nodded.
“Yeah. I believe it.”
Behind the flinching duo, Yoon Sua covered her mouth with both hands, eyes even wider. She seemed shocked, amazed, and touched that I'd accepted it so quickly.
It pissed me off that such a pure girl was suffering for no reason. Maybe some divine whim, mistake, or prank.
Still.
Find out the purpose and circumstances of living together with the people in the one-room
[0/3]
I wondered what the intent was. If god really sent Yoon Sua to me, maybe he wanted to give her a chance?
“...You're the first to accept it so readily. Hehe. Even my family still half-doubts it.”
“I'm a bit unusual.”
“Maybe you are.”
Yoon Sua smiled faintly.
“I like it here.”
“......”
“It could end anytime. But I've already burdened my family for 26 long years. Can you imagine, Hyunwoo? From birth, nonstop. They've sacrificed so much because of me.”
Imagine? No way. The thought alone was so horrific my brain rejected it. Goddamn it.
“But.”
Yoon Sua continued.
“All that burdening... it suffocated me. I couldn't take it.”
“......”
“Looking back, all I have are memories of holing up at home, cooking, cleaning, lying in bed. Nothing else. Family tried making memories—driving far away once. But even that became impossible. Going to a U.S. hospital as a kid? That was a miracle.”
Makes sense. Recalling her gasping like she was dying on today's walk...
Even riding in a car drains stamina. Healthy people don't get it. Crying, breathing—it all costs energy.
Yoon Sua knew that better than anyone. Tears welled up now, but she smiled through it, holding back. Fear of dying if she cried here again.
“Sigh, haa.”
Beside me, Hana's fingers fidgeted wildly as she listened. Patting her pockets futilely before dropping her hand.
Her heart hurt, head ached—craving a smoke. But quitting midway through Yoon Sua's story felt wrong, so she endured. I'd never craved a cig more. Wanted to shove that shitty smoke into my lungs right now.
It might ease this shitty mood a bit.
“So, I came here.”
Yoon Sua said.
“Home had only the internet. Stumbled on this while browsing. Amazing. Not far from home, but strangers living together. Men and women mixed. Heart pounded. Imagining it alone nearly made me faint.”
Damn. How frail was she? No health at all. Fucking hell.
“I wanted special memories.”
Fuck. Fuck.
I bit my lip hard to keep curses from spilling out.
I couldn't. No matter how pissed, she was trying to act nonchalant. That'd be wrong.
“To regret less. To have fewer lingering regrets. One burning desire for special memories—I made it here somehow.”
Nothing to us. But for Yoon Sua, who might've risked her life just coming here... it made me dizzy. That's how big a deal it was for her.
“Feels like I did the right thing. Hehe.”
“Then say so from the start...”
“Making us look like idiots...”
Excited Hana and Ae-bom snapped but trailed off. Yoon Sua spoke.
“See? You're already watching my mood.”
Hana sighed deeply, unusually emotional, brushing back her bangs.
“So a simple walk is your best day ever? Unbelievable.”
Hana stared Yoon Sua down. Ae-bom too. That's why I liked these women—they didn't dodge uncomfortable truths. Strong, attractive.
“Unnie, you want special memories?”
“Yes.”
“Any kind okay?”
“Yes. Anything with you all would satisfy me.”
“Good, perfect.”
What? That scheming glint in her eye...
“I'll make you tons of unique memories. Ones no one else has.”
Why so ominous?
“Wait. Gotta smoke first.”
Hana slammed her cig pack roughly and called me.
“Oppa, come on!”
“Huh? Oh, yeah.”
I followed dazedly when a system message popped up.
[Part of the 'Find out the purpose and circumstances of living together with the people in the one-room' quest has been cleared.]
[1/3]
[Reward: 1,000,000 won deposited into main account. Stamina +1, Virility +1, Muscle Strength +1 granted. You can now emit a faint intimidating aura.]
Seeing it confirmed she was telling the truth. And it must've been hard to say. Took courage.
“Light!”
“Yeah.”
Hana smoked aggressively. One cig, two... Huh?
“Hey, how many you planning? Chain-smoking rots your toes too.”
“Ugh. Stock up now, oppa. This is our last pack.”
What now?
“Sua unnie's health is bad. Secondhand smoke hurts too. We gotta quit.”
What? Am I dreaming? Her saying something so admirable?
“Yeah. Let's.”
I chain-smoked beside her, creating massive smoke clouds till my pack was empty. Head spun, but Hana bolted back upstairs.
Why's her back so ominous?
She flung open the door like a general.
“Sua unnie! We're Hyunwoo oppa's fuckbuddies. Wanna watch us have sex?”
What?
Absurd question, but Yoon Sua's reply shocked more.
“Y-Yes! Desperately!”
My spinning head cleared instantly.
