Chapter Title: The Yandere Fairy's Gaze is Strange

I grabbed some booze and tasty side dishes, setting them on the table.
It was because an unexpected guest, Park Hyunjoo, had shown up.
The woman who'd tried to sell off my hometown little sister Jiwon-i at a red-light district alongside Kim Sea, only to get a harsh lesson from me.
Acting casual, I pointed to a chair in the corner of the living room.
"Have a seat for now."
"Ah, sure."
Park Hyunjoo hesitated for a moment before slowly sitting down in the chair.
It reminded me of the first time I'd met Kim Sea.
They were supposed to be friends, and even that vibe felt similar.
Her first impression had been incredibly rude, but now she seemed so much more subdued.
And on top of that...
Unlike back then when she'd worn that skimpy outfit exposing her chest, today she was dressed so plainly.
A simple-colored knit top, soft cotton pants, and none of those gaudy accessories dangling from her face.
"You've changed a lot."
"Ah... have I?"
"But I guess you really are friends with Kim Sea."
"...Huh?"
"How else do you both show up unannounced like this?"
At that, Kim Sea flushed red and bowed her head deeply.
"W-well... I felt too guilty to call ahead."
"Guilty about what?"
"My past isn't exactly something good."
"Wouldn't calling ahead be better than just showing up out of nowhere?"
I tilted my head, and Kim Sea fidgeted with her fingers.
"S-sorry. Should I come back another time?"
"Never mind that. I heard from Sea that you went back to your hometown?"
"...I lived there for a little while."
"I heard about Choi Jeongsu from her too."
"Yeah... she said he fled overseas... Is that true?"
Looking at Park Hyunjoo with her uneasy eyes, a strange pang of guilt tugged at me, but I forced the corners of my mouth up.
"Yeah. He won't be coming back. The moment he sets foot in Korea, he'll be straight off to prison."
"...I see. Honestly, I thought you might've killed him without a trace."
"Me?"
"It was just so weird how he vanished like that."
I barely hid my flustered expression and gave a faint smile.
"You could debut as a drama writer."
"...So Sea and I really don't have to worry anymore?"
"That's what I've been saying. Just don't mess with Jiwon-i and you're good."
"Good thing I came... I feel a bit relieved now."
Park Hyunjoo let out several sighs of relief.
To change the mood, I shifted in my seat.
"By the way, your style's changed a ton too."
Park Hyunjoo glanced down at her outfit and shrugged.
"Weird?"
"Nah, it suits you way better than last time."
"Really...? That's a relief."
"Anyway, where's Sea?"
"She's out buying supplies for work right now. Pretty swamped."
"Supplies for what?"
"She majored in hair design."
"Ah... yeah?"
I nodded, and Park Hyunjoo poured herself a shot of soju alone, downing it in one go.
"...That's actually what I wanted to talk about."
"What is?"
"Sea and I are planning to move here."
"What, what'd you say?"
I asked again with a baffled look, but she continued calmly.
"We've already checked out some places. Rent's cheaper than I thought."
Her face showed no sign of lying.
I let out an incredulous chuckle.
"Why the countryside all of a sudden?"
"I want to live a quieter life now."
"What're you gonna do for a living here?"
"I majored in crafts. Thinking of opening a workshop."
"A workshop?"
"Yeah. Sell stuff I make myself."
Her absurd statement had me sipping soju too, furrowing my brow.
"Don't tell me Sea's planning a hair salon here?"
"...Spot on."
"I don't know much about crafts, but a hair salon in this backwater? You think that'll make money?"
Park Hyunjoo lifted her chin defiantly.
"I did some research on the market. The old folks here have to take the bus to the city just to get a haircut."
"T-that's true, but... there's hardly anyone living here."
"People have been moving in lately... And even if customers are few, it's fine. I can make up for it selling crafts."
"You sure about deciding this so rashly?"
"I don't need to get rich. Just enough to get by here."
"Why here of all places?"
Park Hyunjoo bit her lip nervously before continuing.
"Sea said the air here's really good. And it lined up with me wanting countryside life too. Plus..."
She trailed off, brushing her hair behind her ear shyly before adding,
"You've got someone familiar here."
"...What!?"
"D-don't get the wrong idea. I heard countryside folks can be cliquey, so knowing you would feel reassuring."
There'd be no real issue with Kim Sea and Park Hyunjoo living here, but since I'd slept with both, it left a weird aftertaste.
I raised my glass and cleared my throat.
"You set on this?"
"Yes, dead set."
I stared at Park Hyunjoo's face.
Her eyes held unwavering conviction.
It wasn't a joke; I could instinctively tell she was dead serious about living here.
I let out a short sigh.
I had no right to force her not to live here in the first place.
Ha...
Besides, this countryside wasn't mine, and I couldn't dictate their lives.
I nodded heavily.
"...Do whatever."
I replied curtly.
But Park Hyunjoo's reaction far exceeded my expectations.
Her big eyes widened in an instant, lips parting slightly before her whole face lit up with joy.
"R-really!?"
She leaned forward reflexively.
Her upper body tilted toward the table, eyes sparkling.
I picked up the soju glass from the table again.
And slowly tilted it, letting the clear liquid flow into my mouth.
Gulp.
The soju was cold, its sharp aroma sliding from my tongue down my throat.
A bitter aftertaste lingered, but I savored it quietly before speaking indifferently.
"You don't need my permission anyway."
"S-still, since you're living here... I wanted to at least ask."
"So when are you moving?"
"Probably within the next week or two if the lease goes quick."
I set the glass down and lifted my head.
"But I've got a condition."
"A c-condition?"
"Same for Sea, but don't show up at my place unannounced like this once you're living here."
"Ah... of course! I'll call ahead next time!"
"And let's keep the fact we know each other secret, as much as possible."
"...Why?"
The more close neighbors I had in town, the higher the risk of my rooftop bath secret getting out.
Better to lay it out clearly upfront.
And besides...
If Yoo Soeun found out, who knows what she'd do—I couldn't even imagine.
Straightening my back, I mixed truth and lies to make her understand.
"First time living in the countryside?"
"Y-yeah."
"Countryside aunties love gossip. Could lead to bad rumors."
"Ah... got it. I'll make sure to tell Sea too."
"Good."
As the drinking wrapped up, Park Hyunjoo stood and quietly headed to the bathroom.
I glanced at her back while tilting my glass.
We were on the third bottle of soju already.
The sides were mostly gone too.
A pleasant buzz had me sighing blankly from my seat.
"Ha..."
If it weren't for Park Hyunjoo, I could've gotten another blowjob from the Gold Fairy tonight...
What a regrettable night.
Creeeak.
Lost in thought for a moment, the bathroom door opened quietly.
I glanced over casually, then froze mid-motion.
'What the...?'
Park Hyunjoo must've showered—her hair was damp, wet strands trailing down her neckline.
And her body was wrapped in just a large towel.
"What are you doing?"
At my words, she finally lifted her head and gave a shy smile.
"Ah... just felt sticky. Sweaty and dusty the whole way here..."
This scene felt so familiar.
Just like her friend Kim Sea—no surprise there.
"Yeah...?"
"By the way, where's your lotion? The stuff in the bathroom's all used up."
"Oh, right? There's new ones on the shelf over there—grab any and use 'em."
"Got it."
Park Hyunjoo nodded and approached the shelf.
It was higher than expected, so she stood on tiptoe—and the towel around her slipped loose.
Not as big as Kim Sea's, but they jiggled impressively.
I let a satisfied look cross my face.
'Park Hyunjoo's pussy had some insane suction.'
The moment I started to stand from the chair to help—
Thud!
Something fell from the shelf.
"Whoa!?"
Park Hyunjoo reached out reflexively, but it was too late to catch.
It landed lightly on the floor with a small clatter, and she looked down in surprise—her expression freezing instantly.
"What the hell is this..."
On the floor were handcuffs and a blindfold—one of the toys I'd prepped for the Gold Fairy.
Park Hyunjoo's eyes went wide, cheeks flushing red.
Like someone who'd stumbled on something they shouldn't have, she flailed awkwardly.
Bending at the waist, she reached out, then pulled back, lips flapping wordlessly several times.
"...You saw it."
"Huh!?"
She looked up at me in utter shock.
I met her gaze and curved the corner of my eye slyly.
"Since it's out now, wanna give it a try?"
