“I’ll be going now, CEO-nim.”

I stood in front of the CEO-nim’s house entrance to return home.

But she, who had followed me out to see me off, was hesitant, as if she had something to say.

“What’s wrong?”

“Jihoon-ssi.”

“Yes?”

“We’re dating now, so isn’t calling me CEO-nim a bit… odd?”

Just hearing her words, it felt like a superior reprimanding a subordinate.

But in fact, her expression was full of embarrassment.

“Ah. I guess CEO-nim has become a habit. Then, should I call you Chaerin-ssi now?”

“…Mm. Okay.”

“Then, Chaerin-ssi. I’ll be going now, so get some good rest and I’ll see you next time.”

“Um…!”

“Yes?”

“…Ah, no. Go home safely.”

After exchanging greetings, I returned home.

It felt strange to suddenly become lovers with her after her confession, which I’d expected to end with a friends-with-benefits relationship.

Rather than being overjoyed, it felt more like it hadn’t sunk in.

Chaerin-ssi’s confession was so unexpected, and it was still an ambiguous situation to say I loved her.

Still, recalling the human and sincere side she showed, I wanted to get to know more diverse aspects of her in the future.

‘Right. I need to check the wiki.’

When I launched the app, sure enough, there was a notification.

I immediately opened Chaerin-ssi’s document.

— [An Chaerin] —Document LV: 4 —Born: 1998 (25 years old by international age, 27 years old by Korean age) —Nationality: Republic of Korea —Body: 171cm, Blood Type B, 93 – 55 – 95 cm, G-cup —Sexual Activity Status • Today’s masturbation count: 0 • Today’s penetrative sex count: 6 (Demanding a confession response from Han Jihoon: 2, After getting a response: 4) • Today’s orgasm count: 6 —Education: University Graduate ▽ 1. Overview CEO of MCN ‘Sandfox Entertainment’ and Co-CEO of clothing brand ‘SNF’. Han Jihoon’s exclusive courtesan and lover. ▽ 4. Dating and Sexual Experience • As a non-dating, non-marriage individual, she had no dating or sexual experience until meeting Han Jihoon. During her school days, she focused on studying, and after becoming an adult, she immersed herself in startup preparations and work. • She developed a relationship with Han Jihoon by mutual agreement, which then progressed to a romantic relationship. ▽ 9. Relationship with Han Jihoon • (Omitted) • As the time spent with him increased, her initial bad impression changed to affection. She reached a state where she felt lonely without Han Jihoon, and finally confessed to him, becoming lovers. ▽ 10. Events and Incidents • (Omitted) • On OO/OO, she realized her feelings for Han Jihoon and confessed to him. Han Jihoon initially refused for the sake of his existing lovers, but seeing An Chaerin’s sincerity, he eventually accepted. —

The word “my lover” was added to the overview section.

Seeing that the phrase “exclusive courtesan” remained, it seems she doesn’t want to give up the courtesan play just because they’re dating.

She was originally someone who only knew work, but because of me, she’s become a lewd woman, so it feels like I have a reason to take responsibility for her.

Other sections summarized what happened today.

It was something I couldn’t have imagined at all, even when I had just woken up.

However, it was all reality, not a dream, and since I’ve decided to accept Chaerin-ssi’s feelings, I will now treat her with sincerity.

[Notification: An Chaerin’s document LV has increased due to a recent update. (Current An Chaerin document LV: 5)]

[Notification: As a reward for An Chaerin’s document LV 5 achievement, you have gained 8 wiki points. (Currently held points: 13)]

Last time, it gave 5 points as a document level-up reward, but this time it added more than that.

Maybe it means to have fun with the points, now that I finally have a new lover.

‘It’s good that points are accumulating, but…’

There was nothing problematic in the content, but I clicked my tongue with a bitter feeling.

To be honest, I was hoping for news that would free me from the pressure of ‘not knowing when a new blank document will appear, and having to fill that document to maintain authority.’

It might sound out of nowhere, but from my perspective, there was a reasonable basis for my expectation.

When I asked SexmoWiki using the Q&A feature before, I received this answer.

It said, ‘SexmoWiki is an app that helps users have a happy sex life. The number of documents will not increase to a point where the user cannot handle them.’

With three girlfriends already, and now it had increased to four, it truly felt like I couldn’t handle any more.

‘Please, no more…’

The moment I prayed that internally, a notification came from the app.

Come to think of it, based on my past experience, whenever I worried about a blank document, one would always be added at that exact moment. Could it be this time too?

My eyes began to read the notification with an anxious heart.

Soon, they widened to a degree that was no exaggeration to say double their usual size.

‘Huh?’

[Notification: User Authority LV has increased due to recent document updates and document LV increase. (Current Authority LV: 10)]

[Notification: You have achieved a total of 30 in owned documents and user authority LV. As a reward, the document creation lock feature has been unlocked.]

‘Document creation lock?’

[Notification: If you select Document Creation Lock in the settings menu, new blank documents will not be created. 10 wiki points are consumed each time the setting is changed.]

“Nice!”

An exclamation burst out of me without me realizing it.

Being able to lock new documents from being created was the feature I had desired so much.

‘What a relief…!’

I don’t know why this reward was given at this timing.

Whether the app determined I couldn’t handle more than five people, or if it was originally set as a reward for this level.

Either way, the fact that I could solve the lingering worry that had followed me while using SexmoWiki made me feel like doing a backflip out of joy.

’10 points? I don’t care. Set it now.’

[Notification: Document Creation Lock feature has been activated. 10 wiki points have been consumed. (Currently held points: 3)]

The points that had accumulated generously decreased instantly, but my mind was rather peaceful.

Since future dangers had disappeared, the only remaining task was to make my girlfriends accept my relationship with Chaerin-ssi.

‘Alright. Let’s do this. If I have to bow my head and beg until it’s buried in the ground, it’ll work out somehow.’

Perhaps it was because I was in an excited state, but confidence bloomed in a corner of my chest.

Since it was all my doing, I would resolve everything and take responsibility.

With that determination, I contacted my girlfriends to set up a meeting for everyone.

===

“…”

Strange.

Clearly, I had been full of confidence and fighting spirit just two days ago when the new document creation was locked.

So after contacting my girlfriends, saying I had something to tell them, we all gathered at Minah-ssi’s house now, on Tuesday evening.

Now, all that remained was to honestly reveal my relationship with Chaerin-ssi and seek their forgiveness and understanding.

“Hey. Why aren’t you saying anything? You said you had something to say.”

“Oppa, what’s wrong?”

“Did something happen, Jihoon?”

Standing in front of them, it wasn’t easy to open my mouth.

Especially Minah-ssi’s expression as she looked at me.

Her unique gentleness, imbued with motherly affection, made it even harder to speak.

‘How am I supposed to say I have another girlfriend in this kind of atmosphere…!’

Chaerin-ssi had also arrived here, similar to me, but I had asked her to wait outside until I called her.

If she and I were to suddenly appear exuding a suspicious aura, wouldn’t my girlfriends be wary from the start?

My plan was to set the mood first, then have Chaerin-ssi make her appearance.

“Jihoon, it’s okay, tell us. Do you need any help?”

The longer I hesitated, the more serious Minah-ssi’s expression became.

My lips just wouldn’t open, even though I knew there was nothing good about dragging out the time.

Still, thinking I couldn’t delay any longer, I bravely moved my lips.

“…Actually, I have something to tell the three of you. No, to be precise, I have something to ask for your forgiveness about.”

“Forgiveness?”

Seo Nuna tilted her head, as if my words sounded completely out of the blue.

She had gone out of her way to introduce me to a part-time job to help my career, so what kind of expression would she make if she found out I’d charmed another woman there?

Just imagining it scared me, but having come this far, I couldn’t turn back.

“…I’m so sorry to all three of you. I’ve started dating someone else. I asked you to meet because I wanted to introduce her and ask for your permission.”

“Dating someone? Chaerin Unnie?!”

“Yes. With Chaerin-ssi… Huh? Yuna, how did you know that?”

Did I just mishear that?

Unlike me, who was bewildered, Yuna’s face suddenly brightened.

“Are you finally dating?! That’s great!”

“Yu-Yuna! We agreed to pretend we didn’t know and just listen. What are you doing reacting like that!”

“Ah! I’m sorry, Seo Unnie! I was just so happy… hehe.”

I couldn’t understand Yuna’s reaction, let alone Seo Nuna’s.

What confused me even more was Minah-ssi, who let out a sigh of relief with an even more relaxed expression than before.

“Really… Jihoon was so serious, I was worried something else might have happened. What a relief, Jihoon.”

“Minah-ssi, what do you mean by that…?”

“Didn’t Chaerin-ssi come with you? I thought we’d all meet and talk together.”

It wasn’t me who responded to Minah-ssi, but Seo Nuna.

“Don’t tell me she’s waiting outside?”

“Huh? Uh, that’s right…”

The quick-witted Nuna accurately grasped my thoughts.

However, due to the sudden change in atmosphere, I still couldn’t grasp the situation.

“Why did you do that? She should’ve just come in together. Chaerin Unnie!”

Seo Nuna opened the front door and walked out.

Soon, Chaerin-ssi, who had been waiting outside, was led by her into the living room.

“Jihoon-ssi.”

“Chaerin-ssi…?”

She should be as flustered as me, but for some reason, her eyes looking at me were full of composure.

The words that came out of Chaerin-ssi’s mouth surprised me even more than I already was.

“What did I tell you? I told you it would be fine, didn’t I?”
