Chapter Title: The Returned Voice

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Seo Ye-jin had desperately wanted to speak, but she had resigned herself to never being able to in her lifetime.

She believed no 'miracle' would ever happen in her life. That she would live with her disability forever.

But.

Surprisingly.

A miracle occurred.

Her aphasia was cured. She could speak. She could say the word 'Grandma' that she had longed to utter for so long.

Seo Ye-jin's eyes welled up with tears. Thick drops like chicken tears soon fell.

"Grandma! Grandma!"

Over and over. Dozens of times.

She called out 'Grandma' while nestled in her grandmother's arms.

"Yes, yes. My little puppy."

Her grandmother was startled at first, wondering if it was a dream, but soon broke into a benevolent smile.

Her wish had come true. She had prayed more fervently for her granddaughter's voice to return than for her dead child to come back to life.

"Now I can die without regrets."

"Don't die. Live long, long."

They embraced each other, shedding endless tears for a long while.

The next day.

'Why...?'

Seo Ye-jin felt puzzled.

What was the reason her voice had returned?

Her voice had suddenly come back. She could speak all of a sudden. It was a blessing, but she couldn't understand it.

She pondered for a long time, but the mystery remained unsolved.

In the end, she concluded it was a miracle.

Then she thought about Jin-seong.

'Thank you... mister...'

Everything had gone well since meeting him.

Thanks to Jin-seong, she could cure her grandmother's illness. Thanks to him, she escaped the threat of rape. And now, she could speak.

'I owe him a debt of gratitude. A debt that would take a lifetime to repay. I have to do well for him forever.'

The number of people she needed to do well for had increased from one to two.

"...?"

She opened her bag. She reached for her workbook but paused. She couldn't help but look puzzled.

"Money envelope...?"

There was a money envelope in her bag. She pulled it out and checked the contents, startling in surprise.

300,000 won.

Six 50,000-won bills.

"Maybe..."

Why was such a large sum of money in her bag?

Maybe Jin-seong had put it there?

She made a call.

- Hello?

Jin-seong's voice came through.

"Um... it's Ye-jin. Seo Ye-jin."

- ...Ye-jin?

"Yes. I... I can speak now."

- ...Really? You can really speak?

"Yes. Thank you so much for your help."

- I'm so glad. Really glad. Congratulations, Ye-jin.

"Thank you. It's all thanks to you, mister."

- No, it's not because of me. And don't call me mister. Call me oppa. We're only ten years apart.

Call him oppa?

It felt awkward. Embarrassing. She couldn't bring herself to say 'oppa'.

"Ten years apart is still mister territory."

- Ha? Fine, call me whatever.

Jin-seong gave up quickly.

He had achieved enlightenment in nicknames, being called 'Piggy' by Park Ha-yeon, 'Loser' by Choi A-young, and 'Tastes-like-food' by Oh Mi-yeon.

"Thank you for the 300,000 won."

- Yeah. Use it wherever you need it. Just let me know if you need more.

"Thank you. I'll pay you back later."

- No need.

Thinking what a truly good person he was, she suggested they eat together. She planned to plant a kiss on his cheek if they met.

- What to do, I'm sorry? It might be tough today.

It was disappointing. Her gentle doe-like eyes drooped sadly.

He woke up.

Jin-seong reminisced about yesterday.

He had sex with Choi A-young six times. Eating, sleeping, shitting, repeat. One load each on her hair, face, mouth, stomach, and two inside her pussy.

'A-young... was so delicious...'

He smacked his lips. Wanted to eat her again. Got hard.

'Gotta go eat her later.'

‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠

Stop by office, then A-young's, eat her, gym, lunch with Ha-yeon.

He busied himself. Cleaned, showered, sorted recycling.

Packed food from Kimbap Heaven. Ate breakfast at the office with Hong Jae-gu while holding a quick meeting.

The meeting covered:

- Lilith reaching Grandmaster tier.

- Lilith World hitting 100k subscribers.

- Average views reaching 160k.

- Ad inquiries.

- Discussion on videos to produce.

And so on.

"Lilith is really amazing."

"Yeah, totally. A woman hitting Grandmaster."

"Not just GM, her streaming vibe is insane."

Were they so enthusiastic because they got paid thanks to Lilith?

Or from making her videos?

Hong Jae-gu kept chanting 'Lilith is amazing!' as affection grew.

"Lilith has so much charm. Fun, innocent, lovable. Like a naive little sister clueless about the world."

Hong Jae-gu firmly believed Lilith was a pure, virgin loner. He saw her as a little sister to protect from wolf packs.

"......"

Jin-seong gave an awkward smile. He had rolled around with A-young yesterday. Planned to today too.

Hong Jae-gu had no idea how fiery, lewd, and delicious Choi A-young really was.

Better keep the truth under wraps.

He hailed a taxi. Headed to Choi A-young's. Climbed the stairs. Opened the door.

"Gasp?!"

Jin-seong couldn't help but gasp and freeze. Because Choi A-young was...

"Woof woof♡"

Choi A-young wore a collar. A dog tail was plugged into her ass. Rotors and bands clung to her breasts.

She knelt on the floor. Upper body lowered to the ground. Her huge tits squished against the cold floor.

Ass raised high. Thighs, ass, pussy, tail all lewdly exposed.

Swish swish-!

Choi A-young shook her hips.

Drip drip-!

Excited, pussy juices trailed down.

'Whoa- fuck- insane.'

If viewers saw Choi A-young's lewd state?

It'd cause an uproar. Simps would weep. Hong Jae-gu would freak first.

He closed the door. Took off shoes. Picked up the leash handle on the floor.

"Puppy, come inside."

"Woof♡!"

Choi A-young crawled like a dog using arms and legs. So lewd and cute.

They had a fun time.

Exercise Achievement 150 before he knew it.

He was hooked on running now. 30 minutes walking and 30 running felt effortless. Breathing steady.

Jump rope the same. Hit 1,000 easily. Calves used to feel like splitting; now fine.

'Burpees still a bit tough.'

Finished burpees sweating all over, breathing ragged. Breezed through push-ups and sit-ups.

Finally, weight training with machines. Built muscle under Park Ha-yeon's guidance.

"......"

Jin-seong glanced at Im Jun-ho.

Skinny Im Jun-ho.

Im Jun-ho was weight training under Park Man-bok's guidance. Gritting his teeth, working hard.

Jin-seong bit his lip hard.

'That bastard...'

Annoyed by his frantic efforts not to get caught.

Ha-yeon was his woman, and he hated anyone eyeing her.

Irritated that he'd gotten a confession from a girl.

'I'll catch and crush him!'

Jin-seong clenched his molars and powered through weights.

As Jin-seong upped his pace, Im Jun-ho got spurred on.

Clenched molars, all-in on weights.

Workout done. Refreshed, proud, happy. A smile formed.

'Nailed it today too.'

A slightly ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠better person now.

Showered, dressed, sat on the toilet, opened the shop.

Went all-in again today.

'Refine and refine till I become the ultimate stud!'

Wanted stamina at 20.0 soon.

And broad shoulders too.

'Ultimate stud! Stamina king! Buff beast! I can do it! Possible!'

Came for the ddakgalbi set meal.

"Piggy. I've got a dilemma."

"Dilemma?"

"Should I keep going to college?"

Conflict swirled in Park Ha-yeon's eyes.

"You know the gym's been struggling lately, right? Honestly, I feel bad relying on Dad."

Park Ha-yeon wanted to be the daughter who helped her father.
