Ellis’ house. Lee Ho-yeon came out of the living room and walked around the front door, shaking her legs as if she was anxious.

“Deep breath. Deep breath….”

Phew. Phew.

Inhale and exhale slowly. My heart starts pounding at the thought that Ellis is coming soon.

‘What should I say…’ ?’

Actually, there is nothing to think about. There are already four women in the room, and all that’s left is to be honest.

“… The problem is that it is difficult.”

I wonder if I’m being fussy about saying it for no reason, but if I don’t say it now, I won’t be able to say it in the future.

Lee Ho-yeon was nervous and turned on the sincerity mode in her heart.

[Clear mental power].

Be conscious of the privilege that has always protected your emotions.

You may not be aware of it, but it definitely exists.

Isn’t it possible to control that?

“…I don’t think that’s possible.”

I decided to be honest, but I don’t know if it has anything to do with [clear mental ability].

Tiring-

‘come.’

But there was no time to think more.

I could hear Ellis passing through the front door, and soon the front door would open.

Hoyeon Lee thought of the first words he would say to Ellis and drove away the uneasiness in a corner of his heart.

“Hmm. Hmmmm~.”

Ellis left the student council room and returned home.

Moon Su-rin’s words that he would take responsibility and even accept permission from other organizations seemed to have won thousands of troops and horses.

‘I think everyone will accept this.’

It was a very satisfactory negotiation as no interest was given up.

Ellis, who returned home imagining the eyes of her sister and mother looking at her with pride, opened her eyes wide when she saw Ho-yeon Lee standing at the front door.

“huh?”

“Hello. Ellis.”

“… What are you doing? Why are you in my house? There was no contact. Oh, did your sister call you?”

As I told Moon Soo-rin, Lucifer also has a deep relationship with Lee Ho-yeon.

Irene would have told this to Lee Ho-yeon, so she could come home.

“Did you come to meet me because of the call that I was coming? I’m kind of happy about that.”

Ellis smiled brightly and approached Lee Ho-yeon.

I negotiated well, but I couldn’t help but be happy if I received unexpected compensation.

However, Hoyeon Lee smiled nervously and made eye contact with Ellis.

“Yeah, but… I thought we could have a conversation.”

“…?”

Ellis, who was trying to hug Lee Ho-yeon, blinked as she looked at her awkward eyes.

Trembling eyes and lips that you can’t tell if they’re embarrassed or embarrassed.

It seemed like it had been a long time since I had seen him look so embarrassed.

“Well, I just happened to have something to tell you.”

Lee Ho-yeon licked his lips and continued speaking.

Ellis, wearing a neat suit, looked sexier than usual.

Fortunately, he seemed to be in a good mood, but how heartbreaking it would be if he suddenly crumpled after hearing what he said.

“What? I have to tell my sister something right now, but can’t we talk about it later? Is it really urgent?”

“… Yes. It’s urgent.”

“…?”

Hoyeon Lee looked at Ellis who was tilting her head and took a deep breath again.

okay.

It is a confession that must be made someday.

I considered saying it after planning the fake dungeon, but I tried to be honest without thinking too much about it.

‘How should I say it in a natural way?’

Whatever you say, starting is important.

Suddenly, ‘There are four women living in my house. But if you say, ‘I’m here now haha.’, how crazy will you think you are?

Lee Ho-yeon spoke carefully.

“You said you went to the academy because of Lucifer, right?”

“I negotiated with the student council president and formed a team to track down Lucifer. Perhaps the Hunter Association and other organizations will cooperate soon.”

“Isn’t that amazing? Ellis, you were in charge of such an important task. Thank you for your hard work.”

“Of course. They say they’re targeting you, so how can you stay quiet?”

“…….”

Ho-yeon Lee’s expression hardened as soon as she heard Alice’s words.

‘Fucked.’

Fuck. I’m really screwed.

Honestly, I was moved.

I can’t believe you went directly to the academy to negotiate because of me.

Ellis, who says things like that, actually has four women who live with me. Should I say the same thing?

Even if you get stabbed with a knife, you are not guilty.

“So, what do you want to say? I have to tell you the results of the negotiation to my sister.”

Ellis looked at Hoyeon Lee with her hands on her waist.

Alice would enjoy it if she sat somewhere comfortable, drank tea, and just zoned out, but there’s no need to do this in the front door, right?

“…I have a confession to make, Miss Ellis.”

“huh?”

Why did he suddenly say something strange, but Lee Ho-yeon’s expression was so serious?

Lee Ho-yeon talks nonsense every day, but she has never looked so serious while joking around.

“Do you know what happened when Irene first met Lucifer?”

“Yes. While looking for my sister’s acquaintance, I happened to meet people who were fighting against Lucifer.”

“… Those acquaintances are people I know.”

“Really? That’s fascinating.”

It is certainly surprising that Lee Ho-yeon knows the acquaintances who were attacked by Lucifer, but what does that mean?

“But because of their own circumstances, they don’t have a place to live, so… they are living with me.”

“Living together? It’s a pretty spacious house for me to live alone in, but… ah.”

Ellis, who suddenly wondered what he was talking about, noticed Lee Ho-yeon’s worried expression and heavy airflow.

At the same time, it feels like I hit my head with a hammer.

Memories from a few days ago slowly come to mind.

I remember hearing from Irene the truth about Lee Ho-yeon’s cohabiting women.

Of course, I was thinking about questioning Lee Ho-yeon when I met her, but as soon as I returned from an important event today, I met Lee Ho-yeon and instantly forgot about it.

‘… I don’t think I heard it from my sister.’

Looking at Lee Ho-yeon’s nervous expression, it didn’t seem like he was belatedly confessing to Irene.

Be honest before you get caught.

‘What are you thinking?’

Ellis naturally started pretending not to know.

“Are you a girl?”

“… huh.”

“How many people?”

“4 people….”

“What? Four people? Are they all women?”

“To be exact, there are five of us because I also have a friend’s younger sister….”

“So there are only 5 women? Are you kidding me?”

“Well, I wasn’t trying to hide it, I just didn’t have a chance to talk….”

Ellis looked at Lee Ho-yeon, who hesitated, and laughed out of frustration.

Actually, I was angry when I heard it from Irene, but it was even more absurd when I heard it in person.

I felt like slapping him in the face.

‘… ‘It’s possible it’s because of a curse.’

But Ellis knows that Ho-yeon Lee is cursed.

His curse is clearly related to women.

Bringing in 4 live-in women may have been part of that.

Besides, no matter how trashy a man he is, he has no intention of giving up on Lee Ho-yeon.

Ellis was confident.

I admit that there are women who were ‘lucky’ to have a relationship with Lee Ho-yeon first.

I think it’s inevitable that he will receive Ho-yeon Lee’s affection thanks to the first-mover effect.

There is only one thing that is important.

No matter how many women Ho-yeon Lee has around him, his belief that he is the best has not changed at all.

In fact, Alice’s confidence has become even stronger now that she has the ability to match her outstanding looks.

There is no need to abandon certain victory and avoid the path.

‘But you can’t just ignore it.’

Of course, living together is a different matter.

Living together is such an important thing.

It is said that some people do not even start a relationship if the person they like has a record of cohabitation, but living with not one but four people is something that should not be overlooked.

As a woman, I couldn’t bear to feel angry and jealous.

‘You can hear the explanation about the curse later.’

He guesses that the reason he gets close to Lee Ho-yeon’s woman is because of the curse, but he gets angry first and gets what he deserves.

Even if you know the other person’s situation, you get what you can.

This is the basics of negotiation.

Ellis, who met Su-rin Moon, became a master of negotiation.

After organizing her thoughts, Ellis continued speaking while glaring at Lee Ho-yeon with her hand on her waist.

“Why are you suddenly saying that? Are you saying you want to fight?”

“… It can’t be like that.”

“Then why? You know I won’t get a good answer.”

He attacked Lee Ho-yeon with a sharp tone of voice.

All he wants is to stay at Ellis’ house for a week. To bring out those words, you have to be angry yourself.

“Sorry.”

“I’m not asking for an apology. Why did you bring that up?”

Even Ellis knows that there is no reason.

This is the ‘don’t you know why I’m angry?’ relationship between lovers. The same invincible word.

Just as if you deserve to be scolded even if you tell them why you’re angry, you just hope that Ho-yeon Lee will quit.

Hoyeon Lee lowered his head as Ellis thought, and Ellis smiled.

Now, all you have to do is tell him to stay at his house for about a week and then hear his circumstances.

At that time, Hoyeon Lee raised her head.

“…for a more serious relationship.”

“Yes?”

Ellis listened to Lee Ho-yeon’s sudden words.

“Elise. I wanted to be more sincere with you.”

“ah…?”

“I spoke honestly so that there would be no lies in our relationship. I’m sorry, Ellis.”

I finally admit it.

I realized how rude my actions were to other women.

It was late, but I sincerely apologized even now.

Lee Ho-yeon made eye contact with Ellis and apologized, then lowered his head.

I planned to hold on when Ellis slapped me in the face and kicked me in the shin.

But Ellis couldn’t move right away.

‘… … what?’

Ellis blinked at the sudden words and raised her hand to her face.

I can feel my hot cheek touching my fingers.

‘You crazy bitch.’

Ellis was disappointed in herself for the first time in a long time.

What if I just fall for something like that?

Was she only this good?

Alice shook her head like a girl denying her first love.

My resistance was released too easily.

What’s wrong with a true relationship?

In the end, it doesn’t change that the bad guy is over there.

Ellis is the victim and the playboy is Hoyeon Lee.

but… I’m so excited by that obvious statement about wanting a more serious relationship.

Ellis was already enamored with Lee Ho-yeon.

When she came to her senses, Alice was already filled with a feeling that she could not escape.

“It hurts my pride. This is so unfair….”

It is absolutely impossible to say okay like this.

You have to react somehow.

‘what?’

No matter how long I wait, there is no response from Ellis.

Lee Ho-yeon slightly raised his head out of curiosity and looked at Ellis’ tightly clenched fists shaking.

“Elise…?”

“… I’m pissed.”

“I’m sorry. I, um… I’ll do anything you want.”

“one week.”

“huh?”

“You can stay at my house for a week too. Otherwise, I will never forgive you.”

“Uh… I understand. Is that okay?”

There was a lot to think about, but looking at Ellis’ stern expression, I felt like I had to give permission unconditionally.

“I haven’t resolved my anger yet.”

“yes.”

“… It’s just one hit on me. I just can’t let it go.”

The original plan was to continue pretending to be angry and gain the upper hand in the relationship with Lee Ho-yeon, but Ellis realized that she had a surprising sense of humor.

“Okay, I’ll take it right.”

Hoyeon Lee closed her eyes and spread her arms.

I was planning on grabbing him by the leg of his pants if he got really angry, but getting hit once would be okay.

“…Be careful. Clench your teeth.”

I was so angry at myself for falling for something like that, but it made no sense to just ignore it.

In an attempt to forcibly relieve this anger, Ellis clenched her fists.
