Chapter Title: The Yandere Fairy's Gaze is Strange
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Fairy Lady, I have something urgent to report."
That was what the man Min Jua called her butler said as he addressed her.
And that single phrase shook my mind to its core.
'...Fairy?'
Frozen in place, I alternated my gaze between the butler and Min Jua.
"It looks like the schedule might get pushed back a bit."
The butler kept his head bowed, maintaining a deferential attitude as he spoke to Min Jua. His tone carried the reverence of a vassal reporting to a king, and his demeanor conveyed a worshipful loyalty that went beyond a mere master-servant relationship.
'Fuck, is she really a fairy?'
A chill ran down my spine.
If what the butler said was true, then the Min Jua in front of me was a fairy, just like the Gold Fairy, Silver Fairy, and Fairy of Fables.
'But why does she abuse humans...?'
As I tilted my head in confusion, Min Jua spoke up in a short, curt manner.
"Then adjust it."
"Yes, Fairy Lady."
'Fairy.' It wasn't a mishearing.
I'd just thought she was a woman with bizarre tastes, but she was actually a fairy...
Now it all made sense—the insane strength she'd used to fling that man aside earlier.
"Is there nothing else to report to me?"
At Min Jua's question, the butler lowered his eyes without a hint of hesitation and replied.
"As per your orders, Fairy Lady, I've disposed of all the men."
"Good. Since I took all their memories of living with me, there shouldn't be any loose ends."
"Yes. I dumped them in easy-to-find spots."
"You've worked hard."
Min Jua gave a light smile.
Even in that brief exchange, a shiver ran up my legs.
'She erased their memories...?'
In other words...
If the Silver Fairy hadn't been at our house that day, I would've been kidnapped by Min Jua, forced to satisfy her desires here, then dumped after losing my memories.
Ha...
Now I understood why the Silver Fairy had been so wary of other fairies visiting our house—it was all to protect me.
Of course she'd chase away a psycho like this without mercy.
Smoothly.
My confusion didn't last long. The butler placed the stack of papers he was holding onto the table and spoke.
"These are the profiles and photos of the men we've prepared this time."
The butler's voice was low and steady, without a trace of tremor, as he slid the documents to the center of the table and gave a slight bow. His actions exuded familiarity, as if this were all just everyday routine.
"Oh ho, quite a few, huh?"
Min Jua lifted her slender finger and slowly flipped through the papers.
Flip. Flip.
Her movements, as she impassively turned page after page of photos, suddenly stopped dead.
And her gaze fixed on one particular profile.
"Who's this guy?"
There was a faint quiver of excitement in Min Jua's voice, like a child who'd discovered an intriguing new toy. The butler calmly reviewed the document once more before answering without any agitation.
"His name is Seo Kyungchan. He's an aspiring actor, lured in using an audition as bait and secured."
At the butler's words, Min Jua's lips curved up subtly, trembling faintly like a predator that had spotted its prey.
"...He looks like he'd be fun to torment. Let's go with him."
"When should we prepare him for you?"
Min Jua glanced at the man kneeling at her feet, then turned her eyes back to the butler.
"Hmm, bring him in two days."
Watching the scene from the corner of the room, I quietly swallowed hard. My breath caught in my throat, a chill swept over my body, and my eyes widened.
'This is... insane...'
And on top of that.
The moment I realized Min Jua wasn't human, I concluded that reporting her would be pointless.
'...Fairies can erase human memories.'
Even if I called the cops, she'd just manipulate their memories, and I'd end up getting doxxed in return. As my mind raced, the butler gathered the papers from the table and bowed deeply to Min Jua.
"Understood. I'll have him ready within two days."
"Yes, good work."
Min Jua waved her hand dismissively, as if it were all perfectly natural, and the butler left the room with his head bowed the instant she spoke. As the presence faded away, the air in the room shifted into something eerie once more.
Smoothly.
Min Jua settled back into her chair with a relaxed expression and looked down at the man still kneeling before her. He remained curled up, staring at the floor, his resignation plain as day. Then, she slowly parted her lips.
"Get on the bed now."
The man immediately climbed onto the bed and lay down spread-eagled.
Min Jua mounted him with a seductive smile and began rocking her hips.
"Ha-ah♡"
They said fairies could sleep with humans as long as they didn't get caught, but Min Jua's movements atop the man looked all too practiced. Compared to her, my agonizing over whether to sleep with the other fairies seemed downright ridiculous.
Creek—! Creek—!
Now that I knew Min Jua was a 'fairy,' there was nothing I could do. For now, I needed to slip out of the villa, so I began moving cautiously.
As I stepped silently toward the door—
"Aaaagh!!"
A scream that tore at my eardrums made me flinch and freeze instinctively. Turning my head, an unbelievable sight unfolded before me once again.
"Y-You said... you'd send me home..."
Min Jua was strangling the man.
Yet her hips never stopped moving. The man's body shuddered violently in spasms.
"P-Please... I beg you... please... spare me..."
Despite his pleading voice, Min Jua looked down at his face and slowly smiled. Her expression was like a cat toying with its prey—cruel yet leisurely.
"You failed to satisfy me. Admit it."
Min Jua gripped his throat with one hand while tapping his chin with the other.
She tilted her head and stared silently, filling the man's eyes with utter terror.
"Hah... hah... s-spare..."
His body convulsed wildly, his breaths growing faint until they stopped altogether. His trembling ceased, his life hanging by a thread as consciousness faded.
Still, Min Jua rocked her hips and let out moans.
"Kuung♡"
Soon, silence fell. Having reached her climax, Min Jua let out one final rough moan and dismounted the man. She smacked her lips regretfully.
"You satisfied me at the end... such a shame..."
Min Jua gazed quietly at the man before sighing, as if she'd lost interest. She grabbed a fistful of his hair from the limp body on the bed, checked that he was out cold, and let it drop.
She was evil incarnate.
'...What the hell did I just witness?'
My mind was in chaos.
Swallowing was hard, my chest felt like it would burst, and my palms were slick with cold sweat. It was understandable.
I'd never witnessed anything this brutal in my life.
Smoothly.
Min Jua, unperturbed, pressed her palm to the forehead of the sprawled man on the bed.
A faint light emanated from her fingertips, starting as a soft glow before rippling like waves.
'...So that's how she erases memories afterward.'
Seeing the man who'd thrashed moments ago now lying helplessly unconscious before my eyes made my head spin. I gritted my teeth and started moving again—carefully but quickly, taking pains not to leave any trace.
'Hoo... hoo...'
I did my best to stay silent as I cracked the door open. The faint creak made my heart drop. Glancing back just in case, Min Jua was still staring down at the collapsed man, lost in thought. Fortunately.
Smoothly.
I slipped out of the villa, clutching the clothes I'd hidden without bothering to put them on, and hurried to my car. The cold air brushed my skin and filled my lungs, finally bringing a sliver of reality back.
'...What I saw was real...'
I quickened my pace to the parking spot.
The car door unlocking echoed in the pre-dawn air. I dove into the driver's seat, slammed the door shut, locked it, and reached for the ignition.
—Vroom.
If I'd brought the Heavenly Peach pills to amplify my power before entering the villa, could I have taken on Min Jua? I felt like I'd underestimated a fairy's strength all this time.
"...Get out first, think later."
I let out a short sigh and drove off.
I floored it away from the villa without even setting the GPS, and as reason slowly returned...
I took a deep breath and checked the rearview mirror. No one seemed to be following, thank God.
Bzzz—
Bzzz—
Then my phone vibrated loudly. So early in the morning, with no one likely to call, I startled and hit the answer button.
And then.
- Oppa... where are you right now?
