“Huh? Is there something you’re curious about?”

“Well, it’s similar, but what about me?”

Hmm!

The five of us were gathered, taking a break, and because of that, the other three could hear what Go Ayeong said. Therefore, everyone’s gaze was focused on me. Among them, Shi Heesun looked at me with a slightly awkward expression, then glared at Go Ayeong.

“What do you think?”

‘Finally, here it comes. Did it arrive?’

Having met just a week ago, Go Ayeong, who had already surpassed level 30 of faith, had built up her current level of faith to 50 after working together for three months.

‘I tried to show some interest moderately to avoid creating a situation for confession. Is this too much?’

I looked at Go Ayeong, who continued speaking, thinking it was fortunate that I hadn’t received a confession yet.

“You’re asking me about that girl, right? I’m about to confess now.”

“The girl?”

I acted as if I had no idea that you liked me, portraying a maximum of embarrassment.

“Oh, Ayeong is obviously great~ She’s pretty, kind-hearted… but, you know…”

Gulp-

As everyone’s gaze turned to me,

“I’m a man who is far from enough for you, there are much better men out there in the world than me…”

At the breath-taking words, Go Ayeong raised her voice slightly.

“What… How can you be an insufficient man for me? I really like you!”

Everyone looked at Go Ayeong, who revealed all her hidden feelings, with astonishment, and what followed next left everyone even more surprised.

“S-Sangil. I like you too! No, I love you!”

The two women who had changed so aggressively, and the two men watching us like a drama, paid no attention to anyone else.

“Unnie! I confessed first!”

“W-What are you talking about! We’re not even dating. Shouldn’t Sangil have a choice too?”

“What…!”

Looking at the unreasonable sister who was forcing the situation, Go Ayeong, who strongly expressed her inner thoughts, turned her gaze to me and urged for an answer.

“Enough! Oppa. What are you going to do?”

“W-What?”

‘Nice, Shi Heesun.’

If I were a naive or genuinely kind person, this situation would have been embarrassing, but I am a person who drinks water in society and had already expected this situation to some extent, so I didn’t feel embarrassed. Instead, I saw it as an opportunity.

“Well then…?”

With a slightly excited expression, Go Ayeong and Shi Heesun focused on my words like two puppies. I started the story I had prepared.

“To be honest, I like both of you. I know it sounds ridiculous and stupid to you, but I really like both of you, and it’s too difficult to choose just one.”

Ignoring the deteriorating expressions of those girls, I continued my story without caring.

“It may sound absurd and foolish to you, but I’m serious. I may like you both and end up liking another woman.”

If this had happened before the world turned into a zombie world, I would have faced questions asking if it was real on internet forums and received numerous insults. But thanks to the faith level that had already surpassed 40 and the skill that was activated even while speaking, intervening in their minds, those girls tried to understand and empathize with my words to some extent.

“So, are you boldly going to straddle both sides?”

Although Shi Heesun seemed slightly angry, she was simply bewildered by the absurd situation.

‘I wonder if the person called Casanova had this ability in the past?’

As I briefly recalled the story of the greatly transformed playboy Casanova, I raised the corner of my mouth at the foolish thought and shook my head to hide it.

“Sigh….”

“Oh, oppa. It’s okay if you don’t monopolize me….”

“Ayeong? What is that…!”

I lowered my head and listened to the two girls’ words, thinking that this forced situation was going better than expected.

“Unni, I really like oppa a lot. It’s natural for me to want to monopolize him, but if oppa wants, being one of oppa’s women is enough for me.”

“Are you saying that you won’t care how many women Sangil meets? Even if I’m one of them?”

“If oppa likes it, then I like it too.”

“She’s really got some nerve….”

Seeing Shiheesun, who was saying such things, I saw myself contemplating what answer to give to Cheonsangil. I muttered that loving someone this much was a sin as I gave Cheonsangil the prepared answer.

“I’m really annoyed and angry, but I think I already like you a lot. But I think I’d dislike it if I’m not the only one. So, how about we each date Ayeong and me for exactly two weeks?”

Looking at Shiheesun, who gave a surprisingly fresh answer, I showed my most confident smile.

“If you like it, I like it too.”

“If oppa is the only one I like….”

Shiheesun sighed softly as she looked at me like that.

“Normally, I wouldn’t like someone who says such things, but… sigh….”

“Haha….”

“Since I confessed late, let’s meet Ayeong first for the first two weeks.”

“So, Ayeong, are we starting our first day today?”

“Ah…. Yes….”

Ayeong blushed and looked down shyly, while Shiheesun frowned slightly at the sight.

‘It’s okay if you’re a little disappointed in me right now. The plan might change a bit, but all I have to do is completely dominate Ayeong in the first two weeks and then thoroughly conquer Shiheesun in the second two weeks.’

Swish-

“Ayeong, I’m sorry, but I really love you a lot.”

As I leaned in to whisper to Ayeong, her face turned as red as a peach, and I thought she looked like a fragile herbivore.

“We’re in public….”

“You say you really like me, but you don’t like this?”

Ayeong looked surprised and started fidgeting when I gave her a slightly stern look.

“No, no! I really, really like you.”

“Then will you call me Sangil?”

Ayeong, who had turned into a persimmon at my small request, looked like she might burst at any moment and bowed her head deeply.

Swish-

“….?!”

“Since there are people here, let’s go to my room and talk.”

Boldly grabbing Ayeong’s hand, I led her straight to my room.

“Was Sangil always like this?”

“It’s natural for someone with this face to be like this….”

“You seemed clueless all this time, so I thought you were a heavy drinker.”

“Shh! Heesun is behind us.”

“Oops….”

Turning around, Lee Hyunsoo saw a slightly eerie Heesun smiling emptily and quickly faced forward.

“Hehehe….”

“Kang Hyeon, hyung. I’m scared of Heesun noona….”

“Me too. I feel a little scared too.”

With that, I sat Ayeong down on the big bed in my room and made the same request again.

“Now that no one else is here, call me Sangil once.”

“S-Sangil….”

“Why Ayeong?”

“It’s too…. embarrassing.”

I used both hands to lift Ayeong’s head, which had been bowing constantly.

“Even though it’s for two weeks, feel free to talk comfortably while we’re dating. And even though it’s for two weeks, we’re really dating, so I’ll do my best.”

“Uh….!”

Bulging her cheeks cutely and shaking her pupils rapidly, I couldn’t help but smile unconsciously, resembling a rabbit character from a cartoon.

“Hahaha!”

“Why… are you laughing…?”

“Because our Ayoung is so pretty, cute, and lovely.”

“…?!”

Push!

Slightly amused by teasing the blushing Ayoung, who seemed like she would emit steam from her face any moment, I let go of her face and held her two white hands.

“Thank you for being my girlfriend. I know I asked for too much. I’m a fool who can’t even make up my mind properly, but will you continue to love me?”

Pop!

Ayoung’s face, which I had been curious about when it would burst, soon did, and a white light emitted from her, swirling around my room before entering her body again. Ayoung collapsed on the bed, fainted.

[Faith Level: 51]

Seeing her faith level over 50, I naturally assumed the light I saw earlier was an awakening effect and used a skill to check Ayoung’s information.

“A breed…”

Not exactly wrong, but unsure how Ayoung will react to the term “breed.”

Of course, there was no particular aversion to the word “owner” in the description of the trait “Haughty Gaze,” and simply stating that she was a higher version of a servant spirit than Sihee Sun, who had a significantly higher faith level than Ayoung, didn’t make me think that Ayoung would dislike it. However, I was curious about how Ayoung would react to the trait description that explicitly referred to her as a breed.

“Ah, I don’t know!”

Carefully laying down the uncomfortable Ayoung in a princess-like position on my bed, I went to find Goh Kanghyun, who said the construction was finished and that today and tomorrow were free time. Passing by the excited Kanghyun, I entered my room, showered, changed clothes, and prepared for bed, lying down next to Ayoung and holding her gently as I fell asleep.

“A nice scent.”

From Ayoung’s sleeping head, a scent of baby and flowers mixed together, creating an addictive aroma that made me want to keep smelling it. Lost in the pleasant scent, I unknowingly drifted off to sleep.
