Chapter Index

    A few days after meeting with Yoo Ji-min and Si-woo Jeon.

    I was concentrating on exercising in the club room.

    “Okay, one two hook!”

    Paba Bang, the sound of repeatedly hitting the mitt rang loudly.

    Lately, I’ve been putting my best effort into boxing rather than grappling.

    In the original, the fight between Lim Chae-won and Mark also took place under boxing rules.

    Helping me with my training is my assistant manager, Seungwoo Kim.

    Since he had a larger physique than Lim Chae-won, he was relatively suited to prepare for the fight with Mark.

    “Whoa, let’s take a break.”

    “Yes.”

    “But why are you suddenly doing this with me? Not with Chaewon.”

    “Hmm… I think I should practice this with people of different physiques…?”

    It could have seemed like an awkward excuse.

    However, we can’t say, ‘In a little while, some big and powerful black person may knock us out in front of everyone and take Lim Chae-won and Jin Se-hee away.’

    “Yeah..? Still, Chaewon must be disappointed, right? If a child doesn’t come to exercise, it’s just…”

    -hey! Seungwoo Kim! Don’t say anything weird to Dohyun!

    Chae-won’s sister, who was talking with Kim Seung-woo’s lover and fellow vice-president Jin Se-hee, shouted.

    “You hear this?”

    “Sure.”

    “Do you want to continue? This time… avoidance training. Avoid by weaving or ducking.”

    “Yes.”

    .

    .

    .

    As I was finishing my workout, Chaewon came up to me.

    “Good job, Dohyeon!”

    She stretched out one hand and handed me a paper cup.

    “Ah, thank you.”

    The water purifier was opposite where I was.

    I couldn’t help but smile when I thought of him carefully walking over and pouring water from the water purifier to give it to me.

    I took a sip of cold water from a paper cup and raised my free hand to stroke her head.

    As always, my soft hair was wrapped in my hands.

    “They told me not to do this…”

    Now her rejection has been reduced to meaningless comments at best.

    The corners of the mouth were twitching on both sides, and it was clearly visible that she was excited as she bounced her heels.

    Their hands were brought together in front and entangled with each other.

    Their eyes sparkled, fully revealing their happiness.

    Unlike before, she did not even push away with her hand, but completely accepted my touch.

    If there’s one thing I regret…

    I really want to change that word.

    In other words, I want to completely eliminate the ‘pretending to dislike’ that exists on the surface.

    I want to see you being cute to me without any hesitation.

    How much cuter would a person who is just standing around become cute if he openly acted cute?

    “I’m sorry.”

    I also offered a mere apology.

    “Give me a paper cup! I’ll throw it away.”

    “It’s okay. I just have to throw it away.”

    “I have to go to the manager’s office anyway. I’m on my way, so just give it to me.”

    Percussively, she drank it all without giving me time to respond and took the empty paper cup away.

    I burst out laughing again as I saw Odo running back to where he came from.

    “Dohyun, you go first!”

    “Yes, bye!”

    Kim Seung-woo, whom I became quite close with while living in the club.

    He left the club room first with his lover.

    “Let’s go, Dohyeon!”

    After a while, Lim Chae-won, who had packed his luggage, came to me.

    “Yes, sister.”

    Unlike Yerin, I haven’t spoken to Chaewon yet.

    As I left the club room with her and headed outside, I saw Yerin and Yeeun waiting and talking.

    And as soon as they saw me, both sides came up with bright smiles.

    “Exercise was hard! Would you like me to carry your bag?”

    “Not hot? Will you give me a coat?”

    Confidence emanated from both sides, as if greeting a husband returning from work.

    Of course, it is unclear whether such a situation will actually occur.

    If I end up with Chaewon, all of the harem members, including me, will be rich enough to live comfortably even if it’s just a hobby.

    Although she is not the daughter of a large conglomerate, being the daughter of the CEO of a mid-sized company also comes with considerable wealth.

    It is by no means the smallest among mid-sized companies, and it even has several additional buildings.

    This was why I thought that even if other variables occurred after I was possessed, I had to protect Lim Chae-won unconditionally.

    “Uh, huh?”

    Ye-eun and Ye-rin took the seats on either side of me in an instant.

    The chemistry is perfect, like sisters.

    -Tingling.

    There is a check on outsiders.

    Chaewon’s sister was pushed out of her seat while parents were talking.

    “Don’t you smell sweat?”

    “Sniff, it smells good, why?”

    Yeeun spoke.

    “Because I worked out just now.”

    “It’s okay.”

    This time, Yerin noona.

    Chaewon looked at us with a puzzled expression.

    You wonder when the distance became so close.

    During this meeting, he makes Chae-won realize that they are in a one-to-many relationship.

    If you’re dating one person, there’s a chance you’ll give up, but what if you’re dating multiple people?

    You might be confused at first.

    And then, ‘Maybe… me too…?’ The thought changes.

    It’s hard to change from a one-on-one relationship to a one-to-many relationship, but it’s not that difficult to increase the number from two to three people.

    “We were going to go to a karaoke bar. Do you want to go together?”

    Sister Yerin said.

    “Good, I’ll just take a quick shower…”

    “Hey, if you go and play anyway, you’ll sweat again.”

    This time, Ye-eun spoke up.

    “Then, is that so…?”

    Since Ye-eun sang so well, my desire to listen to it grew.

    Since they are sisters, I also call Yerin quite a bit.

    So, when I was about to follow them.

    Come on.

    There was a hand grabbing the hem of my clothes and I turned around to see that it was Chaewon’s sister.

    “Sister?”

    “Can’t I go with you too…?”

    she asked hesitantly.

    “Hmm… are you okay?”

    “Together…? Okay, then.”

    Sister Yerin answered, and although Yeeun was reluctant, she nodded.

    Since I didn’t show much resistance, it seemed like he respected my wishes.

    .

    .

    .

    So, we went to the karaoke room and sat down appropriately.

    My sister Yerin and I sat in one row, and Yeeun and Chaewon sat together in the chairs on the other side.

    We take turns reserving songs, and if we know a song, we sing together.

    As expected, Yeeun’s singing skills stood out the most.

    However, at some point, her song reservations started to get a little strange.

    In particular, the last song is the one with the famous lyrics, ‘Gather beautiful love in every small heart.’

    “…Hey, you’re not kidding, right?”

    “Yes? What is it?”

    “I keep emphasizing something.”

    “Oh, it’s probably just my mood.”

    Ye-eun had become close to Chae-won to the point where she called her sister by her first name once in a while last time, and even called her sister.

    If her unique friendliness was on display during our last meeting, this time it seemed like her unique jealousy was being displayed even more.

    Well, anyway, if Chaewon is completely included as a harem member, there is little chance that jealousy will turn inward.

    Chaewon said it only half as a joke, and she didn’t say anything to make the atmosphere cold.

    In the first place, Ye-eun’s song selections were also a joke.

    “Dohyun, aren’t you thirsty?”

    “Yes, a little.”

    “My sister will bring you a drink. Wait a minute.”

    Sister Yerin stood up.

    “Ye-eun, do you want to go together?”

    “Are you buying mine too?”

    “Yes.”

    “Then, I’ll go too!”

    **

    The song stopped for a moment.

    When Lim Chae-won and Choi Do-hyeon were left alone in the room.

    She asked a question you’ve probably been curious about by now.

    “Hey, Dohyun.”

    “Why, sister?”

    “…Are you dating?”

    Although it was a sentence with the subject omitted, it was a question that both could understand.

    “Yes.”

    “Well, that’s right….”

    She lowered her head and spoke in a trembling voice.

    I had predicted that I would be pushed back if I didn’t hurry, but I didn’t know that the result would come so suddenly.

    ‘…I should have said it sooner.’

    If only we had talked about it a little sooner.

    Occasionally, even a single tear threatened to come out.

    She blinked quickly a few times to relieve the tears and continued speaking.

    “With whom…?”

    And then, I heard a completely unexpected answer.

    “With both.”

    “Huh?”

    I looked at his expression to see if it was a joke, but his expression was serious.

    “I just decided to do it that way.”

    “Uh….”

    It was difficult to find words to reply.

    I heard something so shocking, and in an instant, I came back from despair.

    Before I could fully think about it, the sisters returned.

    “Hey… Chaewon…? I bought yours too…”

    Jeong Ye-rin, a friend of the same age who I had said hello to before but was still an awkward friend, offered me a drink.

    “Ah, yes. Thank you.”

    From that point on, she was unable to fully concentrate on singing.

    I collect my thoughts while drinking, think about other things, and sing.

    In the end, the thoughts led to only one conclusion.

    ‘If Dohyun is dating multiple people right now… maybe… me too…?’

    Meanwhile, Choi Do-hyeon looked at Lim Chae-won and thought.

    A fight with Mark is not far away.

    I will definitely… protect her.
