Side Story 67. The Story After (67)

Kkiiik-

Lee Hoyeon deactivated the magic circle, returning the bed back to a bookshelf.

And then, I sat on the sofa and looked at Lee Hoyeon and Baek Ahyoung.

“So… why are you suddenly suggesting we drink?”

Lee Hoyeon picked up the drink next to him.

Whiskey.

What they call spirits.

It was one of the whiskeys I came across when researching Alice’s favorite drinks; it was quite expensive and had a high alcohol content.

As far as Lee Hoyeon knew, this was a whiskey famous for being a gift.

Since Im Sol probably didn’t buy it herself, she must have received it as a gift.

“Just then, I was planning to drink and hang out with Sol… and you came, Hoyeon.”

“Yeah. We were originally planning to drink today.”

“…Is that so?”

Wasn’t it Professor Im Sol who told me to come today?

Lee Hoyeon felt something strange, but didn’t bother bringing it up.

Regardless of the reason, he was welcome to join a drinking session with two pretty women.

“Well, let’s have a drink first and then we can think.”

“Yes, yes.”

Lee Hoyeon picked up the glass placed in front of him.

It was a rocks glass he’d seen a few times, but there was no ice visible in it.

“What about the ice? Ah, shall I make some?”

Lee Hoyeon gathered magic power at his fingertips.

With his skill level, he could make perfectly round, pretty ice.

“Ice? Why would we need ice?”

“…Then are we just drinking this straight?”

It’s not a small straight glass, but a large rocks glass, the kind meant for placing a round ice cube in the middle.

If you fill this up with whiskey, even just one glass would make your head throb.

“It’s fine. Alcohol is alcohol.”

“…Ah, yes. I understand.”

Lee Hoyeon looked at the whiskey filling the glass and nodded.

Well, if we share it little by little, it should be okay.

“Daeun-ah. You take some too.”

“Yeah, thanks. Sol-ah.”

Lee Hoyeon looked at Baek Ahyoung and Im Sol and raised his glass.

He intended to just taste a little bit after a light clink of glasses.

““Cheers!”“

Gulp, gulp.

However, Baek Ahyoung and Im Sol did not.

As soon as they lightly clinked glasses, they downed the entire glass of whiskey in one go.

“Ugh, ughh…”

“My head, my head…”

The alcohol immediately hit the two women’s bodies.

“…?”

Lee Hoyeon blinked, looking at the two women who had downed their rocks glasses in one go.

Are they crazy?

Why are they subjecting themselves to self-torture?

“Hoyeon-ah. You drink too.”

“My disciple. You can’t run away.”

“…Yes. I understand. Let’s just drink this one glass first and then we can drink slowly.”

Lee Hoyeon drank the alcohol and grimaced.

It was supposed to be a fun drinking session, but suddenly it felt like he was being tortured with alcohol.

“Now, drink another glass.”

“No, Ah-young ssi. Just a moment.”

“Hssh. My disciple. Are you refusing what we’re giving you?”

“….”

Lee Hoyeon sighed and accepted the drink.

He figured he’d have to ask why they were acting like this, once he drank some more.

“I told you to drink slowly.”

“It’s, it’s fine. Ugh.”

“My disciple. Mental strength is important for mages.”

“….”

Lee Hoyeon drank another glass without saying anything.

While drinking, Baek Ahyoung and Im Sol kept glancing at Lee Hoyeon.

They were exchanging something like hand signals, noticeable even to the oblivious Lee Hoyeon.

‘Are they trying to get me drunk?’

What on earth are they trying to do?

They aren’t planning to play Truth or Dare, are they?

Lee Hoyeon nervously drank the alcohol.

He tried to nibble on some snacks in between drinks, but Baek Ahyoung and Im Sol didn’t give him the chance.

“My disciple. You have to drink another glass.”

“Professor Sol. Your face is bright red?”

“It’s, it’s fine.”

Im Sol felt her forehead getting hot as she poured more alcohol into her glass.

Apparently, the alcohol she received as a gift was quite strong.

“Ugh, ughh.”

Baek Ahyoung was faster than Im Sol.

Her head was already bobbing.

“Ah-young ssi. Are you okay? Please rest a bit.”

“No, no. No.”

“…You seem quite drunk.”

I don’t know.

They’ll handle it themselves.

Lee Hoyeon just kept accepting and drinking the alcohol the two offered.

*

Lee Hoyeon’s body maintained a perfect state, both inside and out.

Not metaphorically or figuratively, but truly the most perfect state.

This was because he had consumed the Essence of an Elf, which increases the charm of the one who consumes it.

‘His face was already at its peak, so it didn’t change… instead, his physique underwent a transformation.’

Since consuming the Essence of an Elf, his body has maintained its optimal condition.

Moreover, with his high natural healing abilities, the effect is doubled.

In other words, Lee Hoyeon doesn’t get drunk easily, no matter how much alcohol he drinks.

Getting drunk itself was an act that ruined one’s condition.

“Ugh… Honey…”

“My disciple, my disciple…”

Three empty liquor bottles rolled around next to Im Sol and Baek Ahyoung.

In the end, the three of them drank a lot of alcohol, but only Baek Ahyoung and Im Sol became incredibly drunk.

“I knew this would happen. Sigh… Excuse me, you two. Please try to get up for now.”

Lee Hoyeon sighed, looking at the drunk Im Sol and Baek Ahyoung.

It seemed they were trying to get Lee Hoyeon drunk, but obviously, these two got drunk first.

Lee Hoyeon’s body was just too strong.

“Hiccup. Ho, Honey…”

“My head hurts. Eut, Alcohol detoxification… No, magic. I shouldn’t use magic…”

Lee Hoyeon activated the magic circle on the bookshelf, opening the bed.

And then he led Im Sol and Baek Ahyoung to the bed.

“Now, please lie down.”

“My disciple….”

“Ho, Honey. I’m hot…”

Baek Ahyoung and Im Sol lay down on the bed and took off their outer clothes.

The two leaned their heads together and were swaying, and seeing that made Lee Hoyeon’s head start to ache too.

“If you were going to end up like this, why did you drink? You two aren’t even good drinkers…”

Actually, sobering the two of them up wasn’t difficult.

But Lee Hoyeon would also have to endure their embarrassment after they sobered up.

“Ughhh. Honey…”

“Euk, Eu-uh.”

“Just rest.”

Lee Hoyeon laid the two on the bed and started eating.

They hadn’t even touched the food because they were only drinking alcohol.

‘But why are those two acting like this?’

Lee Hoyeon casually lifted his head and looked at the two.

Im Sol and Baek Ahyoung were rolling around on the bed, muttering incoherently.

The bed still had space even with the two of them, and it seemed like there would be enough room even if Lee Hoyeon squeezed in the middle.

“Honey… where are you…”

“Disciple, my disciple…”

“Yes. I am here.”

Lee Hoyeon turned his head towards the spacious bed.

Im Sol and Baek Ahyoung had taken off their outer clothes, unbuttoned their blouses, and were shivering.

“I’m cold…”

“Magic, I shouldn’t use magic…”

“…Then why did you take off your clothes?”

Lee Hoyeon sighed and approached Baek Ahyoung and Im Sol.

He intended to cover them with his outer garment.

Tak-

At that moment.

Baek Ahyoung and Im Sol pulled both of Lee Hoyeon’s hands.

“Huh?”

Thud-

Lee Hoyeon was pulled down by the two, naturally ending up lying between them.

While saying they were cold, Im Sol and Baek Ahyoung’s bodies were burning hot.

“Come over here. Honey…”

“My disciple. Hoyeon-ah…”

Baek Ahyoung and Im Sol pulled Lee Hoyeon’s arms close, one each.

‘…What the heck.’

In an instant, Lee Hoyeon was lying on the bed with his arms taken.

Feeling the breaths of Baek Ahyoung and Im Sol from both sides, Lee Hoyeon slowly turned his head.

“Mmm…”

Baek Ahyoung and Im Sol pulled his arms close and clung tightly to Lee Hoyeon.

Their soft bodies pressing in from both sides felt quite pleasant.

‘If I get up now, it’ll be big trouble.’

Lee Hoyeon sighed at the slow reaction building in his lower body.

It felt good, but since he couldn’t just pounce on them like this, this was no different from torture.

As soon as the alcohol torture ended, the physical torture began.

‘Well, maybe I should just rest like this for a while.’

Lee Hoyeon closed his eyes comfortably.

And I don’t think only about sex all day long.

I also like being comfortable with people I like.

“Honeyyy…”

“Hoyeon-ah…”

Lee Hoyeon closed his eyes, listening to the voices from both sides.

*

In Im Sol’s quiet laboratory.

From the place where only panting breaths could be heard, Im Sol was the first one to open her eyes.

“…Ah.”

As soon as she opened her eyes, she felt a headache.

My head hurts this much even though I only drank a few glasses; what kind of alcohol is this?

“Ughhh…”

Next was Baek Ahyoung.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she felt a hand she was hugging.

“Ah-young-ah.”

“…Yeah. Sol-ah.”

“I don’t remember.”

“…Me neither.”

I remember Lee Hoyeon drinking the alcohol with a wry smile… but I don’t remember what happened after that.

Im Sol then looked at Lee Hoyeon, who was fast asleep.

Lee Hoyeon’s senses are incredibly sharp during sparring, but those senses don’t seem to work when he’s with women.

He was still fast asleep.

“Ah-young-ah.”

“Mmm-hmm.”

“Now is the chance.”

“…Now?”

“When the disciple can’t keep his wits about him… we start naturally.”

What was the goal of the two?

In the end, it was to seduce Lee Hoyeon.

This was the perfect opportunity.

Ttak-

As Im Sol snapped her fingers, the laboratory lights went out, and suggestive mood lighting turned on.

She wasn’t usually this bold, but the remaining alcohol buzz encouraged her.

“Ah, okay.”

Of course, Baek Ahyoung was the same.

She hadn’t fully sobered up yet either.

“Slowly, slowly, try taking this off.”

“Yeah. Let’s be careful so Honey doesn’t wake up.”

Srrk- Srrk-

The two women slowly began their task, careful not to wake Lee Hoyeon.
