Chapter 1013: Side Story – Please Get Me Pregnant Quickly! (1)

Three more days have passed since the day I satisfied Hye-eun’s libido after a long time, as she was in her third month of pregnancy.

Today, as usual, I went to work at the Hope City Guild. After finishing most of my work in the morning, I spent the afternoon leisurely chatting with Eunbyul.

“Have you heard from Sihee lately?”

“…Yes. She seems to be really busy. The last message she sent was a week ago, saying her research was almost finished, and she hasn’t sent any messages since.”

“Seeing as she can’t even contact you, Eunbyul, she must be really busy.”

“If it were Sihee-nim, when she had the chance to contact someone, she would contact Master before me.”

“Still, you’ve spent time with Sihee, so you never know.”

“No. I’m telling you this because if I were in a similar situation to Sihee-nim, I probably would have done the same.”

…Well, seeing as Eunbyul, who spent the longest time with Sihee, says this, it’s probably not wrong, but…

The reason I was particularly waiting for Sihee’s contact, more than anyone else, was none other than the future relationships with my women that I had thought about on the day I met Hye-eun the other day.

Through Eunbyul’s statement that she could get together with me thanks to Sihee, and thus would never get pregnant before Sihee, and my meeting with Cheon Jihee, who hesitated about having my child, I had the opportunity to organize my thoughts to some extent regarding the future relationships with my women.

‘If possible, it would be best to at least have the first child in the proper order.’

In the current situation, the greatest token of love I could give them was indeed having them bear a child born between me and them.

Of course, there might be people like Eunbyul who want to postpone having a child for personal reasons, and among those who have been involved with me, there might be some like Cheon Jihee who don’t have enough affection for me to carry my child. …Or such people might arise in the future relationships with women that might increase.

Or perhaps like Sihee or Do Yehee… people who cannot get pregnant due to various circumstances preventing them from having a child right now.

‘…No, perhaps Do Yehee might even approve of making an illegitimate child with me. I don’t know.’

On the surface, even if she seemed to be hindering Sihee, she was a woman who, in reality, wished for Sihee’s success more than anyone else. In fact, she had wanted to pass on the position of successor to the Dokyung Group to Sihee if possible.

The Do Yehee I knew was someone who would willingly even get pregnant if having an illegitimate child became a disqualifying reason for the successor position, thereby conversely putting Sihee in an advantageous position.

‘Well, that’s just my simple way of thinking; Do Yehee might have other plans in her own way.’

Anyway, I could no longer postpone it.

It was about time to gradually give the women who chose me the choice of whether or not they wanted to have my child.

Hye-eun, who spent the longest time with me and was the first to become involved with me, was the first. Cha Yuri, the first Hunter I became involved with after becoming a Hunter, and who became involved with me after Hye-eun, was the second.

And if this order were followed, the next in line was virtually already decided, so three days ago I had sent Sihee a KakaoTalk message, but….

‘Seeing as she hasn’t even read it, it must mean she’s that busy.’

Seeing as the ‘1’ on the chat window hasn’t disappeared, it wasn’t a ‘read and ignored’. Rather, she seemed so busy that she didn’t even have time to check a single KakaoTalk message, so I couldn’t rush her.

‘At least I should ask whether or not she has thoughts of having my child….’

Whether Sihee would accept my proposal immediately upon hearing it was roughly fifty-fifty.

Her favorability rating, along with Hye-eun and Eunbyul, was the highest among the women I’ve been involved with, but her position was a bit precarious to suddenly decide on pregnancy.

Whether she wanted to have a child with me, even considering the possibility of the Dokyung Group’s successor position becoming precarious if things go wrong, or if she would focus on her main job to inherit the group for now and postpone her turn.

It wasn’t a matter for me to assume and judge, but a part that Sihee had to choose, so I had to discuss it with her at least once.

‘Above all, Eunbyul is also waiting for her turn. Though I can’t tell Sihee.’

Unnecessarily pressuring her and forcing a choice wasn’t a good method. Probably, Eunbyul wouldn’t want Sihee’s decision to be made in that way either.

It was an afternoon on some day where I was pondering exactly what way I should contact Sihee, but unexpectedly, that worry was resolved more quickly than I could have imagined.

-Woowooong, Woowooowooong!

“Hello? Sihee-ssi?”

“Ah, Sungchul-ssi! Are you doing well?!”

“Ah, yes. What’s this all of a sudden? Have you perhaps arranged a vacation schedule or something?”

“Yes! Now I can rest a little leisurely for a while, so I contacted you right away!”

-Dududududu….

“That’s fortunate. Coincidentally, I wanted to see you too, Sihee-ssi. When does your vacation start?”

“Starting today!”

“Ah, come to think of it, it’s already the afternoon. Then, would you like to go on a date, even tomorrow?”

“Nooooo…!!!”

“…”

-Dududududu….

Is there something more important than a date with me…?

I momentarily lost confidence due to the clear refusal heard even amidst the noisy static, but with Sihee’s following words, I could understand that it wasn’t a rejection of a date with me.

“Starting today…!!! I want to go on a date…!!! Sungchul-ssi…!!!”

“…Ah, so that’s what you meant. Okay, then. When would you like to meet today?”

“Right now…!!!”

-Dududududu….

“…Right now? Well, okay. Since the work I had to do today is almost finished anyway, then where….”

“Right now…!!! I’m almost there…!!!”

“Huh…? What do you mean you’re almost there? And where on earth are you that such a loud noise has been coming from…?”

-Dududududu…!!

I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but I feel like the noise coming from beyond the smartphone is tickling my ears even more clearly.

Along with that, a black helicopter approaching the Hope City Guild building came into view outside the window.

“……Huh?”

“…Perhaps Sihee-nim has arrived. I will go out to greet her right now.”

-Dududu, Dududududu…!!

“…Okay.”

Since Eunbyul was preparing to greet Sihee, as if such an entrance was natural, I too just followed her and moved my steps to the upper floor where the helipad is.

⁎ ⁎ ⁎

-Clank.

After landing completely on the helipad floor, the black door slowly opened.

As soon as the helicopter door opened, the first one to pop out was the blonde young lady who had been talking on the phone with me until a moment ago.

“Sungchul-ssiiiiii~!!!”

“Sihee-ssi!”

-Slam!

Sihee running towards me almost like a reunion of long-lost family members, and me accepting her.

Although we hadn’t seen each other for a long time, I didn’t expect her to be so happy to this extent.

‘Indeed, when I think about it, it was always like this with Sihee.’

As opportunities to meet were few, she was a woman who always expressed her joy to me in this way every time we met after a long time.

It was an expression she showed only in front of me, not her usual calm demeanor as the successor of the Dokyung Group. And seeing that expression, which only I would be able to see in the future too, a smile naturally formed.

“It’s been a while, Sihee-ssi.”

“Ooooh~! I missed you~!”

“Your aegyo has improved a lot in the time I haven’t seen you. To the point where I definitely want to put a leash on you and keep you forever.”

“If I were Sungchul-ssi’s pet, I’d like it even for a lifetime~. Euk-euk, euheuk….”

…Anyway, she’s really an incorrigible young lady.

I could fully understand her showing such a strong reaction to this extent.

Unlike the other women whom I met face-to-face inside the guild or in other ways, it was difficult to even see Sihee’s face, except for the occasional video call.

Even Do Yehee, who leads Dokyung Construction, I had often encountered when walking around Hope City, but I heard that Sihee, who leads Dokyung Chemical, due to its nature, would often be locked away in the lab working for days, weeks, or even months once she started a project.

Even at the launch ceremony of the Hope City Guild last time, she barely made time to participate only in the ceremony, and after exchanging a few words, she had to leave without even having a meal together.

In the meantime, her desire for me, affection, and libido must have piled up considerably.

“Until when is your vacation?”

“This vacation is a bit long.”

“Hearing you say it’s a bit long is fortunate. A month? Or two months?”

“One year.”

“…What?”

“One year. Twelve months. Actually, it’s closer to a leave of absence than a vacation, but… Ah, anyway, from now on for a while, I have free time, so we can meet a lot, Sungchul-ssi.”

One year.

Since it was Sihee, whom I had only seen busy every day since our first meeting, the fact that she took a year-long vacation was surprising enough, but her immediately following statement made me react with even more surprise.

“It’s good that the vacation is long. Then it means we can spend time leisurely with you, Sihee-ssi, for a while….”

“No. Just because there’s a lot of time doesn’t mean there’s a lot of time to relax, Sungchul-ssi.”

“Huh?”

“So, quickly… quickly get me pregnant! Because I have to give birth to Sungchul-ssi’s child somehow before this vacation ends!!”

“…What?”

…I hadn’t expected that Sihee would be the one to first blurt out the proposal I was trying to make.
