Side Story Chapter 51: Bloody Family Trip (2)
"We’ll be together from now on, so we should spend time getting close to one another. Wouldn’t you agree?"
Kang-Woo’s three lovers and future wives would be together for a time that couldn’t even be imagined by normal humans; the concept of a lifespan did not exist for them, hence they would live together forever unless something were to happen. To spend that everlasting time without any issues, Kang-Woo’s wives not only needed to have a good relationship with Kang-Woo but with each other as well.
"Hohoho. Who knows what Seol-Ah will do to us if we’re not? Maybe she has a saw hidden somewhere," Lilith continued.
"U-Unnie! I told you not to say stuff like that anymore!" shouted Seol-Ah, her face reddened.
"Fufu, I’m joking." Lilith softly giggled and kissed Seol-Ah’s cheek. "In any case, I want to go have some fun with my lovely little sisters. We’ve never gone anywhere to have fun together, have we?"
Forget that, the three of them had rarely talked in private. Not only did Yeon-Joo live on a different floor, but their times usually didn’t match because each of them was busy.
"What do you think?" Lilith asked.
"Mm… a trip, huh?"Yeon-Joo scratched her head with a frozen expression. Forget a trip, she wanted to lock herself in her house and away from Kang-Woo for a while.
’D-Dammit… that scumbag… h-how dare he violate a drunk person?!’
Just thinking about it again made her blood boil.
"I think it’s a good idea." Seol-Ah smiled as she placed the finished dried pollock soup on the table. "Like you said, we’re… urgh… a f-family now. I think a trip together would be fun."
She bit her lip mid-sentence as if she were holding something back. She caught her breath after suppressing her surging desire to monopolize.
"Seol-Ah…"
"I-I’m fine."
It was difficult to suppress a bodily instinct but it would be even more difficult if this precious relationship were to break down.
"G-Goddammit… Argh! I don’t care anymore! Alright! Let’s go! Let’s all go on a trip together!"
Yeon-Joo had heard from Kang-Woo how difficult and agonizing it was for Seol-Ah to suppress her instincts.
’He said it’s like pouring dirt into a puddle of fresh water when you haven’t had a drop of water for a week.’
Her friend was enduring such pain to go on the trip, so Yeon-Joo couldn’t bring herself to refuse just because she was too embarrassed to face Kang-Woo.
’I’ll take this chance to get closer to Lilith— no, unnie! And Seol-Ah too!’
The relationships of the three women revolved around Kang-Woo but Yeon-Joo was the only person who lived apart from them. Lilith had likely suggested this trip to allow Yeon-Joo to be more honest with her feelings.
"Hoho. Looks like it’s decided~♬"
Lilith hummed in excitement as she clapped her hands together.
"Then will it be the four of us including Kang-Woo?" Seol-Ah also expressed excitement. "But where should we g—"
"STOP RIGHT THERE!!" A door slammed open and the sound of snorting echoed throughout the house. Echidna shouted as she pouted, "I can’t believe you would leave me out! I hate you, Seol-Ah!"
She glared at Seol-Ah with her fists clenched.
"You told me I was part of the family! So why are you trying to leave me out?!"
"Oh, s-sorry. I forgot."
"Urgh… you all… mated without me… and Kang-Woo keeps saying no…"
Echidna teared up in sorrow. Yeon-Joo and Seol-Ah quickly consoled her.
"You can do it when you’re o-older."
"Y-Yeah! You’re still a brat!"
"I’m not a brat! I’m way older than you two! I’m the unnie!!!"
In terms of age, Echidna was far older than Seol-Ah and Yeon-Joo. She was a hatchling dragon but she had lived for almost five hundred years.
"Uhh, well…"
"You see… it’s n-not really a matter of age."
Seol-Ah and Yeon-Joo averted their gaze from Echidna, unable to think of a rebuttal. Echidna placed both hands on her hips and snorted loudly.
"Call me unnie like you do Lilith from now on!"
"..."
"..."
Echidna unnie… there was no way of addressing more unfitting than this. Seol-Ah and Yeon-Joo looked at Echidna, their eyes filled with complex emotions.
"Hoho. We were going to take you with us from the beginning. Don’t get so angry." Lilith hugged the angry Echidna from behind.
"Urgh… R-Really?"
Echidna looked up at Lilith anxiously. She got lonely very easily, hence why she was so shocked by their conversation that implied they would be going without her.
"Of course. You’re not one just yet, but you’ll be my little sister in the future as well, won’t you?"
"Hm! Mommy Lilith! I love you!"
"O-Oh? I’m not a mother…"
"Hm! Hm!"
Echidna snorted as she rubbed her cheeks on the flustered Lilith’s chest.
"I feel like… my position’s been taken."
Seol-Ah’s shoulders dropped sorrowfully. Hearing that, Echidna trotted toward Seol-Ah and hugged her.
"You’re my mommy too, Seol-Ah!"
"And me? What about me?" Yeon-Joo asked.
"You have smaller boobs than me, Yeon-Joo, so you’re my little sister!"
"Fuck." Yeon-Joo frowned. "Haaa. So, a trip is good and all, but where are we gonna go?"
"That’s for us to think about starting now."
"I don’t mind where we go as long as Kang-Woo comes with us."
"Hm! I wanna go here!"
Echidna brought a tablet as the three women were thinking and pointed at the display.
"Oh, it looks great!"
Seol-Ah’s eyes shone. The picture Echidna pulled up was of three hotels side by side and an elliptic rooftop, which looked like a boat, connecting the three buildings.
"Oh, this is that place, isn’t it? Marina Bay Sands?" asked Yeon-Joo as she clapped her hands together.
"Hm! That’s right! It’s in Singapore! Do you see the rooftop boat? It’s apparently a swimming pool!!"
"Wow. Th-That’s a pool?"
Seol-Ah’s eyes sparkled. It was amazing enough that there was a boat, although it wasn’t real, being supported by three buildings, but the entire thing was a swimming pool.
"Here’s a picture of the view from above!"
"My, my. It’s beautiful!"
The picture from the pool was of the city’s nightscape, which looked like it was taken from the sky. Seol-Ah seemed to have taken a liking to the hotel from how much her eyes were shining.
"Dayum, I’m getting pretty hyped too. But isn’t an outdoor pool on the rooftop dangerous? One mistake and you could fall straight down."
"Yeon-Joo, a fall that low wouldn’t even scratch you."
"I mean, I guess that’s true." Yeon-Joo nodded. "Alright, then! Off to Singapore, we go!"
Anyone could tell from a glance it was a five-star hotel, but money was of no concern to her. Even without her guild’s assets, she was one of the richest people in the world.
"B-But we should get Kang-Woo’s opinion first…"
"Hah! Who cares what he thinks? He should be grateful we’re taking him with us!" Yeon-Joo shouted as she shrugged.
"Singapore…?" Lilith, who had been staring at the picture in silence, narrowed her eyes.
"Eh? What’s wrong, unnie? You don’t like it?"
"No, it’s not that." Lilith fell into thought with her hand on her forehead. "I believe Singapore was…"
"It’s where the unconfirmed abnormal Gate phenomenon was detected a month ago. You reported it to me yourself, Lilith."
Creak.
A door opened and Kang-Woo came out of the room.
"Oh. Good morning, my king."
Kang-Woo yawned as he stretched. "Urgh. Why are you guys talking about Singapore?"
"Hoho. We’re planning a family trip for the five of us."
"A trip?"
Lilith smiled widely. "Yes. After all, you had a great time with Yeon-Joo last night, my king."
"Oh."
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!! D-DON’T SAY IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!"
Yeon-Joo covered her ears as she crouched and squeezed her head between her knees. Kang-Woo smirked and nodded.
"Sounds good. So, you guys wanna go to Singapore?"
"Hm! Here! We wanna go to this hotel, Kang-Woo!"
"Yo, what? That looks cool as hell! How did they get a ship on top of three buildings?"
"It’s a swimming pool!"
"A pool?!"
’SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!’
Kang-Woo suppressed his screams of amazement. He had seen the women in their swimsuits back when they had a barbecue party but swimsuits were always welcome.
"Let’s go! Right now!!" Kang-Woo shouted excitedly.
"More importantly, Kang-Woo. What is the unconfirmed abnormal Gate phenomenon about?" Seol-Ah asked.
"Oh, that?" Kang-Woo scratched his head as if annoyed. "To put it simply, it’s what we call a situation where we detect an otherworldly invasion inside a Gate, but nothing in particular happens."
"Oh…"
"Even if a tiny insect were to cross from one of the outer worlds, it gets detected as an otherworldly invasion. But what could they possibly do? They either die soon after or just vanish without a trace."
Large-scale invasions like the Parasites and the Galactic Federation could easily be seen with the naked eye. However, if a tiny insect were to cross from an outer world, it wouldn’t be found no matter how many people were dispatched to search for signs.
"Haaa. This is all because of my lack of ability," Lilith lowered her shoulders sorrowfully.
A true intelligence network should be able to track every abnormal phenomenon occurring throughout the world but such a thing was realistically impossible. Not only were there well over ten thousand Gates throughout the world regardless of size, but they sometimes closed on their own and reappeared somewhere else. The Gate in Singapore was newly opened a month ago, so the tracing had taken a long time.
"Nah, there’s no way you can trace every abnormal Gate phenomenon when the Earth’s so big. Don’t worry about it, my queen."
"Pardon…? My queen?"
"Eh? You don’t remember?"
"...?"
Lilith tilted her head in wonder, having no idea what Kang-Woo was talking about.
Kang-Woo smirked and continued, "You were something else last night, making me call you my queen."
"Pardon?! I-I did?" Lilith stumbled backward, wide-eyed. She couldn’t imagine herself forcing Kang-Woo to call her his queen. "Th-There’s no way!"
"Mm, too bad I couldn’t film it. You and Yeon-Joo’s drunken frenzies were no joke."
"What? I-I did something too?"
"You sure did."
’Smashingly, I might add.’
"D-Don’t lie, motherfucker!" Yeon-Joo sprang back up. "Heh! I bet you’re trying to play off the fact that you forced yourself on me!"
Yeon-Joo pointed at Kang-Woo like Conan who found the culprit.
"I… forced myself on you?"
"Y-Y-Y-Y-Yeah!!" Yeon-Joo nodded, her face as red as her hair.
No matter how she thought about it, she would never have seduced Kang-Woo first.
’I’m sure he forced himself on me while I was asleep!’
Yeon-Joo clenched her fists, her eyes full of certainty.
"Dude, you were the one begging for it," Kang-Woo expressed.
"There you go again with the lies! Is lying all you can do with that mouth of yours?!"
"I said you wanted it first."
"Hmph! Do you have proof?! You don’t, do you?!" Yeon-Joo shouted confidently.
She was sure that Kang-Woo had no proof since he just told Lilith that he didn’t have the chance to film.
"Proof?" Kang-Woo smiled as he took out his smartphone.
"Huh…?" Yeon-Joo’s expression hardened.
"I didn’t have a chance to film Lilith because I was so flabbergasted at the time, but I did for you."
Beep.
Kang-Woo raised the volume to the max and played the video.
- I wanna do it too!! I don’t wanna be Adamantium anymore! I wanna do it with you too, oppa!!
The sound of a woman begging for sex echoed throughout the apartment.
***
"U-Umm, Kang-Woo?"
’Ahhh, how could I forget?’
"Th-That video… could you d-delete it?"
’How could I forget my precious time with her?’
"N-Noooooooo!! Don’t upload it to the drive!!!"
’One of my precious memories with her.’
"Waaaaaaaaahhh!! I-I was wrong!!"
’This is a part of the album that I have been making with her.’
"Please delete it!! Master Kang-Woo!! No, Kang-Woo oppa!!!"
’The『Memory』between me and her. I’ll never forget. For me. For her.’
Tears trickled down Kang-Woo’s cheeks. He bit his lip, clenched his fist, and pledged to the sky, his soul, and her eyes.
"I’ll never forget."
Even if the world were to end and turn to dust— even if he were devoured by the darkness of the Abyss.
"I will… never forget."
Saved to the drive.
"FUCKING DELETE IT!! DELETE THAT SHIT THIS INSTANT, YOU MOTHERFUCKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!!!"
Please drink responsibly.
erigiii’s Thoughts
It’s unclear whether they did the deed or not... I thought they did the first time I read through this chapter but after a closer read, maybe not...? Lilith’s reaction, the blood on the sheets, and the word choice kind of implies they did. Drunk consent is not consent... If it feels wrong, don’t do it.
