… … … … …

After hearing my question, Mr. Ghost stopped for a moment and looked at me.

Her cheeks were flushed and her eyes showed some emotion. It was similar to the look in Seo-yeon’s eyes when she changed her underwear as if she was showing off.

“I, I will come as often as I can… … ”

With that, she smiled bashfully and hurried out of the hospital room.

Now I really need to go to sleep. Before going to sleep, I tried on the sneakers she gave me as a gift.

The sneakers fit my size perfectly, as if I had actually tried them on before.

She said she could somehow guess my shoe size, but how on earth could she have such a good eye for it?

I lay back down in bed. This time I had a feeling that I would be able to sleep undisturbed.

Actually, I was able to fall asleep quickly, and the door to the hospital room did not open.

… … … … …

It may be natural, but Seo Yu-ryeong did not actually leave the hospital room. She remained in the room, pretending to close the door, and used her powers with exquisite timing to make herself transparent.

After using her power to become invisible, Seo Yu-ryeong stayed by Ga-eul’s side until he fell asleep. She observed every movement, breathing, and even the slightest twitching of the eyelids of the delicate and pretty boy.

Soon after, when the boy’s breathing became regular, Seo Yu-ryeong cautiously approached the boy. Her eyes were a cloudy purple, filled with a mixture of intense affection and obsession that was enough to frighten anyone who saw them.

“Autumn Seeds… ….”

She whispered slowly into the ear of the sleeping boy. Since the listener was asleep, Seo Yu-ryeong’s stutter, which was one of her biggest complexes, had also disappeared.

“Although I can’t be with you 24 hours a day because of those women… …I’ll always watch over you even from far away… … .”

Seo Yu-ryeong, who had overlapped her body over the boy’s, carefully examined the nape of his neck.

The red marks left by Lee Seo-yeon and Jin Wol-hee on her white and clean neck stood out, and Seo Yu-ryeong’s eyes lit up with jealousy.

“Those bitches… … dare… … to… … my fall seed… … !”

Seo Yu-ryeong gritted her teeth. She clenched her fists so tightly that her fingernails dug into her flesh.

In her opinion, at least she didn’t have the same pathological obsession with the boy as the other women.

If even one of Lee Seo-yeon, Jin Wol-hee, Yoon Ha-neul, and Park Seo-ah had normal affection, she might have cleanly given up on Ga-eul.

(Of course, that doesn’t mean I’m going to stop observing. That’s that, and this is this.)

However, Seo Yu-ryeong’s close investigation revealed that all of the women who had interacted with the boy were not in their right minds. In fact, even saying they were not in their right minds was too weak an expression.

First, Lee Seo-yeon. She used her supernatural powers on Ga-eul to manipulate his memories for a long time, causing him to suffer from severe memory loss.

What’s worse, that damn woman sometimes pretended to be tormented by guilt. According to Seo Yu-ryeong’s keen insight, it was 100% an act.

It is absurd to put the seeds of autumn in the hands of such a lunatic.

Next is Jinwolhee. Every time I think of this monster, disgust rises in my stomach and I feel a sour taste in my stomach.

Since meeting Mr. Autumn, she has been displaying a maniacal behavior, greedily devouring unclaimed corpses and such.

It’s unpleasant to even guess what this crazy woman’s intentions are. However, since she’s a sure-fire winner, if we were to force a guess, it’d probably be that she’s trying to eat human flesh and blood and gather essence to make an elixir.

Could it be that he is using the elixir he has prepared in such large quantities to eat the limbs of the Autumn Seeds, regenerate them, and then eat the regenerated limbs again… … and repeat the process? Or perhaps he is targeting the internal organs rather than the limbs.

It would be better for Autumn to simply take his own life rather than hand him over to these crazy cannibals.

Next is Yun Ha-neul. Seo Yu-ryeong shook her head as soon as she thought of her.

On the surface, Yoon Ha-neul only has blind maternal love for Ga-eul. Looking at this alone, she seems better than the other girls, but the reality is shocking. Seo Yu-ryeong, who is a completely normal person, couldn’t help but be shocked when she found out her true feelings.

Yoon Ha-neul had the ugly delusion that Ga-eul was her son from a previous life, and despite considering him her ‘son’, she was trying to get him to have her child.

A crazy woman who believes in things like reincarnation through incest. Even mental illness to this extent can be considered art.

It must never happen that Autumn Seed passes on to a woman with such delusions and she gives birth to Autumn Seed’s child.

Finally, Park Seo-ah. Seo Yu-ryeong’s face was distorted. She was the most outstanding psychopath.

Park Seo-ah is an extremely vicious sadist who enjoys brutally assaulting others in the name of the bizarre cause of social justice. She is a monster whose hobby is to brutally torture those she targets, regardless of whether they are serious or petty criminals.

Given the reality, I would like to slaughter all the women around Ga-eul, but my mind is like a chimney. In reality, I have no way to make it happen.

If you confront those monsters head-on, Seo Yu-ryeong won’t last even 10 seconds. They’re not enemies that can be attacked by surprise. The only way left is to use long-range sniping, but it’s hard to get a large-caliber sniper rifle that can work on them.

Above all, if you make such a move, you will be caught by the association president almost immediately.

In a truly desperate situation, the only hope Seo Yu-ryeong had was maintaining the delicate balance of power intended by the Association Chairman.

While the women around Gaeul-ssi were aware of each other and keeping an eye on each other, Seo Yu-ryeong was able to take advantage of this gap and be with Gaeul-ssi. This was an overwhelming merit.

“Autumn, I will… … always be watching over you. There is no one else who truly cares for you but me… … .”

Seo Yu-ryeong carefully opened the boy’s hospital gown and placed her lips on his pale collarbone. She left a soft, yet definite lip mark.

“This is… …my heart for you, Gaeul. The person closest to me is me.

Those women will hurt you, but I am different. I will always watch over you and protect you… … .”

Seo Yu-ryeong lay down next to the boy. She fell into ecstasy as she felt his body temperature, his breathing, and the sound of his heartbeat.

“I will be sad with you when you are sad, and happy with you when you are happy. I want to be with you in every moment… …of you.”

Seo Yu-ryeong gently stroked the boy’s face and looked at him with eyes filled with heavy love. A tiny bit of regret welled up from deep within her eyes.

If Seo Yu-ryeong had known about Ga-eul before Lee Seo-yeon.

What if, while Lee Seo-yeon was away, Seo Yu-ryeong had the courage to… … ‘protect’ him in a place no one knew about?

If only Seo Yu-ryeong had the strength to match that of other women.

Countless ‘what ifs’ flashed through her head, and the happy delusions of countless ‘what ifs’ coming true turned into regret for missed opportunities, and the regret turned into despair.

Seo Yu-ryeong, who was struggling with a familiar sense of despair, hugged the boy’s face between her ample breasts in order to escape the despair that was tormenting her.

“Ugh… … .”

As she placed the boy’s face between her chest, she felt his breath on her bare skin. A chill ran down her spine, her despair disappeared, and a warm happiness filled Seo Yu-ryeong’s heart.

Her happiness did not end until dawn.

… … … … …

A few days later, my injury had completely healed and I was about to be discharged from the hospital.

While I was packing up my luggage in the hospital room, Seoyeon came in. However, her expression was much less relaxed and she looked a little tense.

“Autumn, are you ready?”

“Yes, sis. Almost done.”

I answered while putting the last items in my bag. Seoyeon, who had been watching me for a while, hesitated and spoke carefully.

“But… …Autumn, do you really plan on becoming independent?”

I stopped packing my bags and looked at my sister.

Her eyes were filled with worry and anxiety. Her once confident demeanor was nowhere to be found, and now she looked like a parent sending off a child.

“That, Sister… … I can’t live relying on you forever, right? I think independence was something that would happen someday.

Thanks to the association president’s help, I have already secured a studio apartment… … .

Don’t worry too much. I’ve made a lot of friends who will help me out if I need to. Mr. Sky, Miss Seo-ah, Miss Ghost, Teacher Wol-hee――”

Suddenly, Seoyeon’s face became scary at my words. Her eyebrows and lips twisted into a terrifying expression. Her eyes, like those of a predator hunting for prey, pierced through me.

My sister’s hand grabbed my wrist. Her grip was incredibly strong, and I felt a lot of pain in my wrist. But I couldn’t move.
