Chapter Title: The Yandere Fairy's Gaze is Off
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Why is that weird? Plenty of girls hide their boyfriends from their parents just to avoid all the meddling if they found out."
Jiwon-i's mom fell silent for a moment, as if lost in thought.
Then she shook her head and let out a sigh.
"Fine, say Soeun-i did keep it from her parents. But get this—after the incident blew up, Soeun-i's mom called Min-ha directly."
"Lee Min-ha?"
"Yeah, you know, the friend she's been tight with since they were kids."
"I know. Back in the day, she, Ung-tae, and the three of them were always hanging out together. Didn't she move to Seoul?"
"They kept in touch even after the move, and when Soeun-i headed to Seoul, they ended up living together."
"Ah... I see."
"So Soeun-i's mom calls Min-ha and asks who Soeun-i's boyfriend is, and she says there isn't one!"
I rested my hands on the table and slowly drummed my fingers.
Something felt off.
It was like all the puzzle pieces were there, but they hadn't clicked into place yet.
'Did Min-ha lie to Soeun-i's mom?'
No matter how secretive she was, there was no way she'd hide a boyfriend from a roommate she lived with.
It came down to two possibilities.
Either Min-ha lied to Soeun-i's mom to spare her worry, or Soeun-i really didn't have a boyfriend.
"...Yeah, that is strange."
"Right? No way the roommate she lives with doesn't know if she's got a boyfriend or not."
"Well, if Soeun-i was dating someone, they'd be texting constantly. Hard not to notice."
"Exactly what I'm saying!"
"Or maybe Min-ha just lied to Soeun-i's mom."
"But why?"
"To keep her from worrying over nothing? Hmm... honestly, no clue beyond that."
I let out a short sigh, and Jiwon-i's mom suddenly jolted upright, like something had just clicked in her head.
"W-Wait a sec!"
"What? Another thought about Soeun-i's case?"
"No... not that. I think I figured out why Min-ha wouldn't know even if Soeun-i had a boyfriend."
"What's the reason?"
Jiwon-i's mom slammed her palm on the table with a thwack and her eyes gleamed.
"Soeun-i's boyfriend was Min-ha's ex! You know, the classic 'falling for your friend's ex' story... Sounds plausible, right?"
"...Huh?"
"That's why she wouldn't know. Soeun-i had no choice but to hide it from her."
This was exactly why aunties needed to cut back on those trashy dramas.
Next thing you know, some secret love child would pop up.
Ha...
I'd been dodging meetings with Soeun-i until I got the full story, but now I had zero excuses left.
That was why I'd planned to squeeze every bit of info out of today.
'Kept using the bathhouse renovations as an excuse, but that's over now. How do I stall?'
"Haeseong?"
I snapped my head up to find Jiwon-i's mom gazing at me with concern.
That's when I realized I'd gone quiet for a while. I flashed a light smile.
"Haha! Soeun-i dating Min-ha's ex does feel like a stretch."
"D-Do you think?"
She scratched her head sheepishly, glanced at the clock, then abruptly shot up from her seat.
And started grabbing her bag in a rush.
"Oh man! It's already 6. Gotta get home and fix dinner for the hubby."
"Ah! I kept you here too long, ma'am."
"Nah, chatting with a young guy like you gives me a boost! Anyway, keep everything we talked about today under wraps!"
"You got it. Lips sealed."
She slung her bag over her shoulder in a flurry and headed for the door.
I stood from my chair and saw her off with a wave.
"I'm really heading out!"
"Take care!"
I returned to the table, gathered the leftover fruit slices and teacups, and quietly carried them to the sink.
Playing detective with Jiwon-i's mom about Soeun-i had worn me out. No way I felt like doing dishes right now.
I'd push it off till tomorrow.
Just as I turned from the sink...
Gurgle-gurgle-gurgle-!
Gurgle-gurgle-gurgle-!
Gurgle-gurgle-gurgle-!
The sound of running water hit my ears.
In a villa bathed in serene moonlight, the Jua Fairy reclined elegantly against the sofa.
The room was filled with the faint scent of incense. In one hand, she held a photo of Han Haeseong; with the other, she toyed with her pussy.
"Haa... I want to ruin you♡ I wonder what face you'll make then... Hnng♡"
A chilling moan slipped from the Jua Fairy's lips.
Her flushed face and moist, gleaming eyes laid bare her intense desire for the Haeseong in the photo.
"Hnnng♡"
At that moment, the villa door opened quietly, accompanied by footsteps.
Approaching with soft yet firm strides was Butler Lee Hyun-seok.
He froze briefly at the sight of the Jua Fairy masturbating, then quickly schooled his expression, stepped forward, and bowed deeply.
"Lady Fairy, you called for me?"
The Jua Fairy set Haeseong's photo on the table and spread her legs toward the butler.
Her pussy was so flooded it was dripping onto the sofa leather in fat drops.
"I'm super turned on right now. Want to have a taste of my pussy?"
Still leaning back on the sofa, she tilted her head and licked her lips.
A lewd smile curved her mouth as her legs parted bolder and bolder.
Gulp.
Butler Lee Hyun-seok went rigid for an instant.
He'd served the Jua Fairy for years, but every time she teased like this, that icy chill crawling up his spine never got easier.
Sweat trickled from his forehead, down his back.
Yet he held his composure.
"...I want to live a long life."
A short, firm reply.
The Jua Fairy relaxed her expression with a smirk.
She stopped touching herself, reached out slowly, and lifted her wine glass from the table.
"I'd never go too rough on someone of your caliber, butler. Pity."
With those words, she flicked her tongue out and smacked her lips.
Still, Lee Hyun-seok didn't so much as twitch.
"My apologies."
Butler Lee Hyun-seok recalled an old scene from memory.
There had once been another who served the Jua Fairy alongside him.
Butler Kim Hyun-woo, who'd been with her even longer.
He'd slipped up in one moment of poor judgment, unable to resist her vicious temptations, and unzipped his pants.
And in the end—
Gulp.
Just thinking of that scene made Lee Hyun-seok's breath catch.
A room soaked in blood.
Kim Hyun-woo, snapping out of it too late, thrashed to escape her embrace, but she wouldn't let go.
Like she'd been waiting ages for this, she toyed with her prey like a plaything, slowly... agonizingly... tearing into him.
After witnessing that horror, Lee Hyun-seok had vowed never to waver, no matter the temptation.
"The police found Kim Seok-hwan."
He pivoted the topic firmly, and the Jua Fairy seemed to lose interest, her lip curling slightly.
"And?"
"They're protecting him now, and the media's in a frenzy. His mental state's frail, but his memories could return any time."
"It's fine. I've already wiped every memory of me from Kim Seok-hwan."
"I-Is that so? But if I may ask one thing..."
"Go ahead."
"Even so, wouldn't it have been cleaner to just finish him off...? I'm curious why you let him go."
The Jua Fairy said nothing, half-lidding her eyes as she gazed at Butler Lee Hyun-seok.
Her gaze held deep, inscrutable emotions.
Then a faint smile tugged at her lips as she slowly rose.
"The reason is..."
She took one step, then another, slowly closing in on him.
Standing before him, she lightly tugged his tie.
"It's fun. Killing ends it, but leaving him alive means trouble can brew anytime."
"Ah... I see."
The hand gripping his tie rose as the Jua Fairy took her wine glass again.
"And if I feel like it again, I can always pay another visit."
She downed the wine in a gulp, then turned and bent at the waist.
Pressing her plump ass tight against his crotch, she began to grind.
"Hnnng♡ More than that, this is your chance to have me. I'll lead you to heaven, so hurry and shove your cock in my pussy."
The Jua Fairy always forced herself on men aggressively, but with Butler Lee Hyun-seok, she played submissive, exuding seductive allure.
Out of loyalty built over time?
No, the reason was simpler.
To her, he was just prime meat aging nicely.
A toy she'd ruin the moment he crossed the line.
"Come on! Give in to pure instinct♡"
Even knowing the danger, the thrill when he finally fell to her charms...
And the delicious despair on his face when he realized his mistake.
Like a male mantis, rationally knowing death awaits, yet unable to resist the female's lure...
Butler Lee Hyun-seok squeezed his eyes shut, then opened them.
"About Han Haeseong..."
At 'Han Haeseong', the Jua Fairy halted her sultry hip sway and straightened up.
She turned, fixing her gaze on him.
"Speak."
"From what I've gathered, we don't know when Han Haeseong will return to Seoul. It might be better to execute the plan now, while he's in that remote area."
She seemed to ponder briefly, then an insidious aura wafted from her.
Her lip curled wickedly.
"...In that case, why not go meet him right now?"
