Is Today My Funeral Day?
I couldn't help but let out a hollow laugh. The situation had reached the point where that was the only reaction left.
Boldly declare to Moyong Dahae that you will two-time without shame.
Reward: 2,000,000 won
How is it that there isn't a single normal quest? [Weren't there any before?][Only at the very beginning.]
“Why was that one different?”
> It was basically a tutorial.
“Tsk.”
…Yeah. After that first one, there hadn’t been a single ‘meaningless’ quest. Honestly, that was even creepier. It meant that taking Moyong Sunae to the adult shop today and playing the crazy bastard who gifted her a dildo had all been meaningful.
“Fine, fuck it. Let’s be real. What other purpose could that gift possibly have? At best, Sunae’s probably back home right now, vigorously fucking her pussy with that dildo. Right?”
> Is that so?
“It’s not ‘is that so.’ I’m asking what the meaning behind it is.”
> Who knows.
“Kiiiiieeeeeeeeek!”
I was seriously going to lose my mind. The fact that it wouldn’t give a clear answer made it worse. Still, I couldn’t just ignore the ring’s quests. [Reward: 2,000,000 won] At least the compensation was reliable. No matter what, the damn thing didn’t lie. The whole ‘best possible path’ thing was probably true too. Which only made it more absurd. Fuck. Just what kind of life did I lead that this kind of quest could be the optimal route?
“Holy mother of fucking shit!”
> Have you finally gone mad?
“I’m not mad, but I feel like I’m about to go mad.”
> I see.
Still, I managed to calm down somewhat. I let out a long sigh and checked the quest once more. Now that I looked at it properly, it wasn’t even Moyong Sunae. It wanted me to declare to someone named Moyong Dahae that I would two-time. Who the hell was Moyong Dahae?
> Moyong Sunae’s older sister.
The moment I learned Moyong Dahae’s identity, I simply gave up on thinking altogether. It made sense. After all, I was about to become the trash who declared he would two-time right in front of my girlfriend’s older sister.
‘Let’s just think about what I’ll buy with the two million won.’
With that thought, I collapsed onto the bed. Moyong Sunae had closed the cafe for the entire day for our date. At times like this, I should at least get some proper sleep…
「KakaoTalk!」
“Who the hell is texting at this hour… huh?”
I couldn’t tear my eyes away from the erotic photos and video Ji-eun had sent. It was pure male instinct. Before I realized it, my hand was groping my cock, and soon enough my dick was rock hard and throbbing.
“Agh, fuck! This perverted bitch, seriously!”
In the end, I jerked off right there on the spot before I could even try to sleep. I know it sounds weird to say this, but… it was a damn good night’s sleep.
The next day, lunchtime. I arrived at the cafe. As usual, Moyong Sunae and Hwangbo Ji-eun greeted me warmly.
“Welcome, Hyun-woo Oppa.”
“Hey… huh?”
If there was one thing that had changed about Hwangbo Ji-eun after just one day apart, it was the way Moyong Sunae addressed me.
“Ah… so Sunae unnie decided to call him Oppa too?”
“Yeah! We decided yesterday while we were hanging out.”
“Oh, right. You two went on a date yesterday, didn’t you?”
“D-date, you say…”
Over Moyong Sunae’s embarrassed face, an overwhelming wave of happiness bloomed. She looked so blissfully happy that even the most oblivious idiot could see it.
At the same time…
“……”
Hwangbo Ji-eun’s expression hardened like stone the moment she saw it. That was obvious enough for even the densest fool to notice.
“……”
I finally understood. The reason a strange tension always lingered whenever Moyong Sunae and Hwangbo Ji-eun were in the same room with me. It was because I was so painfully oblivious, had zero dating experience, and no real experience with women that I hadn’t noticed it before.
There had been an invisible war of nerves between the two women the entire time.
“Must be nice! Oppa, you should go on a date with me next time!”
“……”
Once I recognized it, everything became crystal clear.
‘S-scary.’
Both Moyong Sunae and Hwangbo Ji-eun. I had thought they were just pretty and kind, but that was completely wrong.
“Ji-eun, you shouldn’t push so aggressively like that.”
“Huh? Why not?”
“You’re making Oppa uncomfortable.”
“Hmm, doesn’t look that way to me.”
I could see it. Purple sparks were flying wildly in the space between Moyong Sunae and Hwangbo Ji-eun.
Obviously, the person most at fault for the situation reaching this point was me. I should have chosen one from the beginning, but I hadn’t. Still, I had my reasons. There had been a quest to date Moyong Sunae. And now I even had to boldly declare that I would two-time to her older sister.
‘When is she going to show up? It feels like she’ll be here any second.’
The moment that thought crossed my mind—
“Sunae!”
A woman entered from the entrance with a single bodyguard in tow. She took off her sunglasses and immediately called out to Moyong Sunae in a loving voice.
‘Ah, that’s her.’
I recognized her instantly. It made sense—she looked quite similar to Moyong Sunae. Of course, there were plenty of differences too. The biggest one was her impression. If Moyong Sunae gave off an aura of pure innocence and gentleness, her older sister Moyong Dahae looked like she had a fierce personality at first glance. She had the kind of face that would have made even school bullies give her a free pass back in the day.
‘Ah, I’m fucked.’
That was the sudden thought that hit me while observing Moyong Dahae. She already looked like she had a strong personality, and she even walked around with bodyguards?
‘No wonder the ring was rambling about powerful families yesterday. Fuck. I knew Sunae was a gold spoon, but it looks like she’s way beyond what I imagined. At this level, she’s not just any gold spoon—she’s probably a third-generation chaebol heiress from some major conglomerate group.’
> Correct.
Annoying bitch. Why tell me now?
> That’s for me to decide.
Fuck…
I had to swallow down the curses rising in my throat. At the same time, cold sweat poured down my back.
“My lovely little sister, did you miss your unnie? Chu chu. Was the date fun? Did you enjoy it?”
“U-unnie… there are other people here, so please don’t.”
“Why not? Can’t unnie give her little sister a few kisses?”
Moreover, the way Moyong Dahae acted made it obvious just how much she adored her younger sister.
“……”
Did I really have to declare to someone like this that I would two-time—including with her precious little sister? Boldly? Shamelessly?
‘Is today my funeral day?’
While I was thinking that—
“Hello, I’m Hwangbo Ji-eun. You must be Ji-eun unnie’s older sister? You’re really beautiful…”
“Oh my, nice to meet you. You’re quite cute yourself.”
“Th-thank…”
“By the way, Miss Ji-eun.”
“…Yes?”
“Hmm. I appreciate you being friendly with our Sunae, but during work hours, wouldn’t it be better to use proper titles? It feels a bit inappropriate for an employee to casually call the boss by her first name.”
“Ah………………”
“I’m not scolding you. It’s just that since I run a company, I believe it’s important to distinguish between personal time and work time no matter how close you are.”
“……”
“Otherwise, people of lower rank tend to climb all over their superiors.”
Moyong Dahae added with a sly grin.
“Unpleasantly.”
A shiver ran down my spine. At that moment, Hwangbo Ji-eun hurriedly lowered her head like she had committed some crime. She hadn’t even been cursed at. No one had ordered her to. She had simply been overwhelmed by Moyong Dahae’s presence.
‘I’m fucked, I’m fucked, I’m so fucked…’
My back, already watching from the side, grew even wetter. I was sweating so much I wondered if a human body could even produce this volume of sweat. Every pore on my body seemed to be exploding.
Then, the moment I swallowed hard—
“Ah, so you’re Mr. Hyun-woo? The one who went on a date with our Sunae…”
“Y-yes! That’s correct…”
“Could you spare me a moment of your time?”
Moyong Dahae’s smiling face looked utterly harmless. She didn’t look like someone who could kill a person at all. For a second, she even overlapped with Moyong Sunae. But why? My instincts were screaming at me like crazy.
“Uh, um…”
In my heart I wanted to refuse, but—
“…Alright.”
I couldn’t turn it down because of the quest.
“Thank you. Then let’s move somewhere else for a bit. It’s a conversation I’d rather my sister not hear.”
“U-unnie! You’re not planning to do anything bad to Hyun-woo Oppa, are you?”
It seemed I wasn’t the only one who felt the danger. Moyong Sunae clung tightly to Dahae’s arm.
“Of course not, Sunae. Do you think I’m crazy enough to ruin the spring that finally came to my little sister? Hmm? Who knows when you’ll get another chance to go on a date?”
“Really?”
“Of course! If not, would I have helped coordinate your outfit before the date? Don’t worry too much. Just wait quietly. We won’t talk long. I just want a sincere conversation as an older sister who’s worried about her little sister.”
“……Okay. But just in case.”
Moyong Sunae ran over to me and whispered quickly.
“If unnie does anything bad, please tell me right away. She looks scary, but she can’t do anything when I tell her not to.”
“……”
Rather than feeling comforted, the words only made me feel more hopeless. When I thought about what I had to do now to an older sister who cherished her little sister this much… I’d be lucky if I didn’t die. And with what face could I possibly tattle on her?
“Oh my, really… our Sunae… seems to truly… like you. As her older sister… I’m so happy?”
I didn’t know why her words kept cutting off, but one thing was certain. Every time her sentence broke in the middle, my chest tightened and loosened over and over. Was this what killing intent felt like?
‘People from powerful families really are on another level.’
I had felt it earlier when she completely crushed Hwangbo Ji-eun’s spirit without even using a single curse word. We lived in completely different worlds.
“Then I’ll change the location. Let’s walk for a bit.”
“Yes…”
Following Moyong Dahae outside, I couldn’t help but grow even more tense. That was because seven more bodyguards were waiting for us.
‘Just who the hell is she to walk around with eight bodyguards?’
Seeing several more cars parked nearby, it didn’t even seem like that was all of them. Some of the bodyguards were clearly carrying guns.
‘Is this really the South Korea I thought I knew?’
After being shocked multiple times, I don’t know how long we walked. We ended up in a back alley a short distance from the cafe, inside a now-closed parking lot marked with a No Entry sign. Moyong Dahae strode confidently into the center before slowly turning to face me.
“……”
Only then did I see her expression clearly, and my body froze solid. Her face was one that could drown a person without a second thought.
“Hey, you fucking bastard. You piece of shit. Who the hell do you think you are? Huh?”
Even her way of speaking had completely changed.
