Chapter 15. I Don't Remember?
Kugung, kugugung—!
The base was screaming.
Every time the golden lightning from Sia's [2nd Awakening] licked across the ceiling, precision machinery worth hundreds of millions of won popped like popcorn.
My eardrums were ringing from the shockwaves generated by the collision between Saintess Seraphina's white radiance and Belzenia's pitch-black magic.
'I'm screwed. I am truly, utterly screwed.'
I was shoved into the corner of the bed, my brain working frantically.
The scene before my eyes was nothing short of hell.
Sia was shedding tears, repeatedly shouting, "I'm going to kill you, you thieving cat!" while the Saintess was sniffing the air and continuing her bizarre act of collecting my scent into a beaker.
Belzenia-nuna was even worse; she was wrapping her arms around my waist and wearing the smile of a victor.
There was no excuse that would work in this situation.
Even if I shouted, "It was a massage!", my shirt rolling on the floor and Belzenia's flushed face would dismiss any excuse as a 'lie.'
If things kept going like this, I'd either die when the base collapsed, or I'd be torn to shreds by these crazy women.
I had to survive.
And then, a single survival strategy flashed through my mind.
'Yes, this is it. The classic cheat code of Korean dramas!'
I took a deep breath, and just as the magical fluctuations around us were at their most intense, I rolled my eyes back.
"Ah, aaaaaah! My head! My head...!!"
The ultimate technique: Amnesia!
I clutched my head and rolled off the bed.
"Haneul-ah?!"
"Haneul-gun?!"
"[Companion]?!"
The fighting vixens stopped in unison and looked at me.
I stared at the ceiling with unfocused eyes, putting on the most pitiful and dim-witted expression I could muster.
"......Where am I? Who are you people?"
For a moment, a silence like the calm before a storm flowed through the base.
'It worked.'
I could feel their murderous aura instantly turn into bewilderment.
I cheered internally.
Yes, if I say I don't remember, I can at least 'reset' this whole lewd misunderstanding!
Whoever tried to ravish me, or whatever I did with whom, what are they going to do if the person involved doesn't know?
But the situation started to flow in a direction slightly different from my expectations.
The women exchanged glances, and suddenly, their eyes began to turn sinister.
"Haneul-ah...... you really don't remember? Not even who I am?"
Sia was the first to approach, grabbing my hands tightly.
In her eyes, instead of anger, there was now a strange sense of possessiveness.
Damn it, why am I so uneasy.......
"Yeah...... I don't remember. Who is the pretty lady?"
At the sound of 'pretty lady,' Sia's cheekbones ascended uncontrollably.
"I am...... I am your fiancée! We already got permission from both our parents, and we were supposed to get married as soon as we graduated! Do you remember?"
'Crazy, Sia. That never happened.'
I was horrified on the inside, but on the outside, I answered blankly, "Ah...... I see. You really are a pretty fiancée."
Then, Seraphina, who had been watching from the side, slammed her staff down and intervened.
"Do not lie, you vixen...... you profane woman! Haneul-gun is my [Holy Slave] dedicated to the temple...... no, my personal prayer priest!"
Saintess-nim, I think your true colors just slipped out.
"We shared our souls every night in the prayer room, performing a secret [Purification Ritual] just for the two of us. Don't you remember, Haneul-gun? That night you asked me to teach you how to suppress your desires in the prayer room!"
Seraphina shoved her nose into my face, breathing heavily.
These women, they're rewriting the settings to their liking while I have no memory!
"Cut the crap, all of you."
Belzenia crushed her cigarette on the floor and climbed onto the bed.
She lifted my chin and declared arrogantly.
"You are my [Companion]. A week ago, you walked into this base yourself, saying you would become my [Companion], and swore a marriage vow. Didn't you just cry out earlier that you were satisfied with my technique?"
I was dying trying to hold back the urge to shout, "That was a massage!"
To top it all off, So-hee-nuna, who had been taking pictures in the corner, approached me and showed me her smartphone screen.
"Haneul-ah, don't be fooled. Those women are all bad people. You were dating me, and this is a photo of our secret relationship."
On the screen was the photo taken earlier, where I looked like I was being 'violated' by Belzenia.
Uh, excuse me, So-hee-nuna.
Doesn't this look like a photo that has absolutely nothing to do with us dating?
"Look at this, I told you I wanted to do some ntr...... ahem, anyway, something like that. You were so happy doing it and asked me to take the picture. We were supposed to run away together. Remember?"
......These crazy women are holding a group gaslighting competition!
Cold sweat poured down my face.
I thought acting like I had amnesia would make things easier, but instead, I was being treated like 'treasure without an owner' and was about to be torn into four pieces.
"Um...... everyone is saying different things, so I don't really know. My head hurts so much......."
I closed my eyes pitifully, trying to appeal to their sympathy.
But little did I know that would only fuel their hunting instincts.
"That's right, Haneul-ah. Your head hurts because your memories are being forcibly blocked."
Sia gently cupped my cheeks.
The heat I felt from her palms was ominous.
"You might not remember with words. But the 'body' is honest. If we try that hot thing we did when we got engaged again...... maybe your memory will return."
"Wait! Sia-yang, what kind of shameless talk is that?"
Seraphina cut in, snatching Sia's arm.
Yes! What kind of bullshit is that?
When did we ever do anything hot?!
But the Saintess, who I thought was relatively sane, already had a whirlpool of desire swirling around her instead of holy light.
"To regain your memory, holy stimulation is necessary. The most certain method is for me to apply [Holy Oil] to Haneul-gun's entire body and inject my magic directly to awaken him one by one."
What [Holy Oil]! That just means she's going to rub something slippery on me and grope me!
"Hmph, pathetic. You think you can awaken a Dragon's [Companion] with such shallow human stimulation?"
Belzenia sneered and reached for my waist.
"[Companion], have you forgotten how you trembled at my touch earlier? That sensation of my magic piercing deep into your pelvis...... I will carve it into your very bones. Then, even if you try not to remember, your brain won't be able to refuse."
"Leader-nim, that's too barbaric."
So-hee-nuna put her smartphone in her pocket and crawled between my legs.
"Haneul is sensitive, so it's faster to recreate the poses in these photos I took one by one. Come on, Haneul-ah. Shall we start by taking this shirt off again? That's the only way to bring back the excitement of that time."
These women, they're serious.
They're using the excuse of helping me regain my memory to enjoy a legal 'buffet'!
"U-um, wait! Just a second! Nuna-deul, your faces are too close!"
I pressed my body hard against the headboard, but the four women slowly narrowed the encirclement like a pack of starving wolves.
Sia's lips brushed against my left ear, and Seraphina's hot breath tickled the back of my right neck.
Belzenia's cold fingers were already tasting the area near my navel, and So-hee-nuna started grabbing my ankles and pulling me toward her.
"No, it's okay if I don't remember! I'll just live like this!"
"No, Haneul-ah. It's just so pitiful that you've forgotten about us."
Sia's voice sounded sticky.
"I will teach you everything about yourself all over again. From the beginning, very slowly...... Ah, the holy energy is already rising♡"
Seraphina was already out of her mind.
The moment her hand touched my pants buckle, I felt my life was in danger.
"Urya-urya~ [Companion], there is nowhere to run. My technique has only just begun!"
At the very moment even Belzenia was about to pounce on me.
Kwang—!
The base shook violently once more, and this time, a part of the ceiling collapsed entirely.
No, what is it this time~?!
At the same time, red subtitles reading 'Breaking News' were flashing on large screens and smartphone screens all across South Korea.
[LIVE] [Hunter Association] Elite Team Successfully Raids [Black Wings] Villain Base!
South Korea's top reporter, Kang Na-hee, shouted toward the camera with a voice mixed with excitement.
"Yes! We have finally entered the heart of the 'Black Wings,' which had been shrouded in mystery, along with the [Hunter Association] breakthrough team! This base is hundreds of meters underground...... Oh my, look over there! It seems that door over there is the leader's office!"
The number of viewers who flocked to witness the moment of justice being served surpassed millions in an instant.
[Real-time Viewers: 4,210,500]
The [Hunter]s blew up the massive magical defensive door, and the broadcast drone cameras pierced through the thick dust to be the first to enter the room.
The entire nation held its breath.
Expecting to see the evil villain leader engaged in a final bloody battle with the [Hunter]s, or the sight of a hostage being cruelly tortured beyond that thick dust.
However, the sight the lens captured was something that far transcended human imagination.
"......Huh?"
Reporter Kang Na-hee's microphone fell to the floor.
What filled the screen was the super-pretty boy 'Park Haneul,' huddled in the corner of the bed with his shirt half-off, eyes welling up with tears.
And the four women surrounding him.
'Small Hero' Kim Sia, who had caused a big incident recently but was still touted as a super rookie, was touching his ear.
The 'Saintess' Seraphina, the pride of the United States, had her hand on his pants buckle.
The villain leader Belzenia was wrapping her arms around his waist with a sadistic smile.
Even So-hee was 'filming' the shameless scene with her smartphone from the side.
To anyone's eyes, this wasn't a rescue scene, but a scene of 'group violation' where four predators were fighting over a single lamb.

Anonymous1: Wow...... crazy, what am I looking at right now?
Anonymous2: Isn't that the Saintess? Where is the Saintess's hand right now???
Anonymous3: That Small Hero, she said she was going to save him, so why is she sucking on his ear? ㄷㄷㄷ
Anonymous4: Are the villain leader, the Saintess, and the Small Hero teaming up to ravish one guy? Is this for real?
Anonymous5: Look at the pretty boy shedding tears...... pya...... honestly, even I wouldn't be able to stay still in that situation.
Anonymous6: This is a regular broadcast, right? Not CornTV, right?
"Cut! Cut!! Cut the broadcast!! Cut it right now!!"
The [Hunter Association] team leader, who realized the situation late, screamed.
But it was already too late.
The entire nation had already finished watching Park Haneul's aggrieved yet lewdly distorted expression in high-definition 4K.
Even Haneul's scream coming through the microphone.
"No, it's okay if I don't remember!"
This line instantly became an internet meme and spread like wildfire.
'Does that mean it's okay to do it since he doesn't remember?'
'As expected, a pretty man is loved even if he has no memory'
'This is it for today!'
Public opinion flared up in an uncontrollable direction.
