Setting the address to the academy dormitory and ordering delivery food. One might think it wouldn’t be allowed, but surprisingly, the rules were lenient.

Well, Cheongsong Academy isn’t a place that requires strict inspection procedures to enter, unlike the terrifying worlds of other web novels.

In fact, most of the outer areas were open to the public.

Though there were minimal defenses in preparation for villain attacks.

‘Just thinking about when those Moonlit Church cult bastards invaded, it’s not like such incidents don’t happen here at all…’

Anyway, what I wanted to say was that ordering external food delivery was quite free.

There were even several late-night snack shops right inside the academy campus.

And jjimdak is a fairly popular dish.

Meaning there was no particular burden in ordering it.

I received the delivered food, spread it out on the table, and waited patiently.

It was about time for the kid to arrive.

‘The one who said she’d be right over, why hasn’t she contacted me even once until the delivery arrived?’

It felt like I’d waited about 20 minutes, but of course, Baek Ayun, who was just upstairs, should have been faster than the delivery food coming from far away.

“…Hmph.”

I lay sprawled on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling. I planned to wait another 10 minutes, but if she was any later, there’d be no mercy.

Then I’d just finish off this tempting two-person portion all by myself.

As I quietly watched the digital clock, waiting for the minutes to pass, *ding-dong*.

Finally, the doorbell rang.

“Alright.”

I got up abruptly, a hint of indignation in my movement. If she was late without a good reason, I wouldn’t let it slide.

Deliberately making pounding footsteps, I moved to the entrance and flung the door open.

“…Oh.”

And there, of course, was Baek Ayun. Since I had called her.

But she had a wet towel around her neck, looking all refreshed, like that.

“…”

I closed my mouth for a moment, then belatedly furrowed my brow slightly. A sweet lotion scent wafted from her twin tails.

What was this? Was she late because she showered?

‘…Why? What was the point?’

Even as I thought, ‘Was there a need to go that far?’, I found myself naturally understanding the full context.

Baek Ayun’s glances at me, and her extremely thin and loose clothing, even considering she had just showered.

Seeing all that, it would have been stranger not to see through her intentions.

I let out a profound groan of genuine consternation.

…Of course, I hadn’t called her with entirely pure intentions myself, but the fact that my hidden meaning had been understood through just a few lines of chat felt strangely, exceptionally peculiar.

‘Now that I think about it, Ryu Seeun also seemed to have prepared herself to some extent when she came.’

I had a fresh realization and exhaled sharply. Was that so? Was that how it was? Was I truly such a dirty and despicable guy?

What on earth had I been doing to make every girl I invited to my dorm prepare for suggestive acts? No, seriously…

As I swallowed down a sigh that threatened to escape due to my complicated feelings, my expression twisted.

There was no way she wouldn’t notice that strange atmosphere, so Baek Ayun asked me.

“Why do you have that expression…? You called someone over and then you don’t even let them into your room.”

“…No. It’s just that a strange sense of self-loathing suddenly washed over me.”

“? Suddenly?”

Baek Ayun tilted her head in confusion, but I didn’t answer further and simply moved aside, silently clearing the way. It was an invitation to enter.

“…Hmm, if you’ll excuse me?”

Baek Ayun entered the entryway, her voice rising at the end as if she was suspicious.

She casually slipped off her slippers, revealing her bare white feet as she lightly stepped into the living room.

As soon as she saw the jjimdak and beer set out on the table, her face brightened, and she took a seat. She immediately popped open a can of beer.

I then took a seat opposite her.

Yes, whatever the case, it wouldn’t be bad to fill our stomachs with this late-night snack first, and then think about it.

I raised my can to meet hers, and Baek Ayun also smiled softly and clinked her can against mine.

“Cheers.”

“Chee-ers.”

*****

Twenty minutes passed like that, and after some thought, it seemed best to tackle it head-on rather than beating around the bush pointlessly.

Considering Baek Ayun’s personality, she probably wouldn’t want any unnecessary chatter either.

Regardless of the self-loathing that was making my conscience ache, wasn’t she the one who came to my room fully prepared anyway?

Was there any need to be cautious?

“…About that trait I told you about last time.”

So, I decided to get straight to the point.

A direct approach from the start. The topic of my trait.

“Actually, I recently awakened an additional ability. You could say I had a bit of a fortuitous encounter.”

Well, I’m not sure if having debaucherous relationships with a total of five women in less than half a year can be called a fortuitous encounter, but…

Anyway, thanks to that, my trait also evolved, so if it’s a fortuitous encounter, then it’s a fortuitous encounter.

It wasn’t a very important matter, so I neatly skipped the explanation about it.

Instead, what I wanted to talk about was my personal request related to the additional ability.

Since I had already explained it to Ryu Seeun step-by-step a few hours ago while we were intimate, there was nothing to hold back.

Well, I don’t know if the person at the time, being in a dazed state, properly understood it, but…

Anyway, I personally wanted to test this ability to discern one’s sexual disposition a bit more, and also needed to meticulously confirm the practical limits of the vital energy absorption ability.

The help of an assistant was essential. And the chosen “Experiment Subject No. 2 (?)” was Baek Ayun.

“So that’s why I called you so suddenly. Would you happen to have some time tonight—”

I, who had finished the general explanation and was about to conclude my words, paused for a moment.

It took me a beat to notice. Baek Ayun’s attitude was strangely lukewarm.

It wasn’t the kind of “lukewarmness” that implied she was discontent after hearing me out, or that she wasn’t particularly keen.

Rather, it seemed her attention was completely elsewhere, and she was only half-listening to what I was saying.

“…What are you doing?”

I called out to Baek Ayun in a slightly bewildered voice, feeling a bit dumbfounded at the same time. No answer came back.

She merely tilted her head to the side, looking blankly around the room.

Had she even been listening? I thought she might have understood up until the points where she nodded, but I couldn’t say for sure about after that.

Just as I was feeling bewildered and about to try to snap her back to attention.

Baek Ayun’s lips parted.

“Oppa.”

“…Huh?”

Her eyes narrowed as she turned to look at me, and I somehow felt a jolt, forcing me to straighten my posture. It was a reflex.

Slowly, an awkward atmosphere began to settle in the room for some reason.

Baek Ayun tilted her head sideways at that point. It was such an impassive and dry gesture that it gave me a slight chill.

She immediately added one more thing.

“Did you do something wrong to me?”

“…”

It was an extremely sudden remark.

Honestly, I couldn’t quite guess.

To be more precise, it wasn’t that I couldn’t guess at all, but rather that there wasn’t just one or two things to guess about, so I couldn’t pinpoint the exact reason…

At the very least, it wouldn’t be a complaint or displeasure about me having called her to my room with such impure intentions.

If that were the case, she wouldn’t have come in the first place. She wouldn’t have deliberately worn loose clothing either.

Anyway, the conclusion was that I could only swallow dryly.

The last time Baek Ayun called me ‘Oppa’ was that day we had a big fight on the street and then headed to a motel as a ‘sign of reconciliation (?).’

Since then, whenever we met at school, she had consistently called me ‘Hyunjin-ssi.’

But now she’s calling me Oppa again? And she’s even discarding her honorific speech, which is her identity?

I instinctively knew something was wrong. It was about the time I started to read her expression, cold sweat breaking out.

“Jasmine scent.”

Baek Ayun folded her arms arrogantly, staring at me. She even shifted her posture to be askew and crossed her legs, glaring intently at me disapprovingly.

“As far as I know, not many people in our school use this scent. At least, within my knowledge, there’s only one. Kanzaki Rie-ssi, from Oppa’s A-class.”

“…”

“And in between, I think I smell the orange-scented shampoo Soyul-ssi uses… Oh, and coincidentally, that long hair sprawled near the pillow over there is teal, isn’t it?”

And there’s only one person like that in the academy.

Baek Ayun added, letting out a subtle sneer.

“Seeun-ssi must have been here too.”

Her tone was like asking a question, but it had already gone beyond the realm of a mere inquiry.

Just a few simple words, thrown at me as if confirming something she was already certain of.

I couldn’t say a word, but my complexion was surely taking on a rather unusual color. Especially seeing Baek Ayun let out a little scoff of a laugh.

She uncrossed her legs, then stood up and approached me.

“Still, don’t misunderstand, Oppa. I knew you were such a playboy from the start when I got involved with you anyway. Even if you keep changing women and enjoying yourself, my feelings haven’t changed.”

Her hand moved. Baek Ayun’s slender index finger traced my nape.

“You know, right? How much I like you, Oppa.”

“…”

“Hmm, no answer?”

Even with my agitated expression, I had no choice but to nod.

Only then did Baek Ayun grin with a satisfied look.

“So, well, it doesn’t really matter. Whether Oppa invited three women to his room recently, or enjoyed such a dissolute sex life… I still love you, Oppa.”

I was sweating profusely, clenching and unclenching my hands. Each word she spoke sent a chilling jolt through my heart.

This wasn’t the first time Baek Ayun had confessed her love to me, but…

At least back then, it didn’t feel so terrifyingly creepy.

If anything, my heart would have pounded then.

‘I was clearly the one who called her to my room to “devour” her.’

Somehow, I felt like I could predict what would happen next. So, I politely put my hands together and waited for Baek Ayun to continue.

Her eyes curved into an arc.

“But, you know what?”

Baek Ayun took a slight step away from me.

She moved gracefully towards the bed.

“When I thought about it, I felt a little bad. Soyul-ssi, Seeun-ssi, and even Rie-ssi. Three whole women have been here, so why am I only coming now?”

After completely taking off her extremely loose top, leaving only the dolphin shorts she had on underneath, she sat down on the edge of the bed.

What’s more, it seemed she hadn’t been wearing a bra to begin with. She revealed her bare chest and looked this way.

“…Heh.”

Smiling sweetly, she spoke to me, her tone laced with a hint of amusement, yet chillingly.

“Surely I’m not the very last woman to be called here, am I? My beloved brother.”

“…”

I felt killing intent.
