When I returned to the master bedroom, Freif was sleeping comfortably.

‘Did I hear that wrong?’

I was worried she might have overheard my phone call with Ai.

If she found out I was in a relationship with Ai, Freif’s dependence might worsen.

Being taken away by another woman.

Or thinking I would gradually distance myself from her, her dependence might deepen even further.

‘I need to be more careful.’

As expected, living with someone else felt like there were more things to be careful about.

Just one week. Because I just need to last one week.

With that thought, I burrowed under the blanket in the bed.

I looked at Freif’s face, sleeping while looking at me, for a moment before closing my eyes.

Since tomorrow is the day I’m going on a date with Ai, if I wake up a little earlier and get ready…

Just like that, my mind became hazy, and with eyes as heavy as a thousand pounds, I closed them and headed towards the land of dreams.

Around the time Yeonwoo quickly fell asleep.

A change came over Freif.

Freif, who had been pretending to sleep, slowly opened her eyes and slowly reached out, gazing at the man in front of her.

The state of being sound asleep, quiet and fearless, just like herself a moment ago.

She placed her hand on his cheek and whispered.

“Please don’t leave……”

I’m worried.

It felt like Freif’s heart was slowly rotting away due to worry.

She already felt to some extent that he had a girlfriend.

Traces on his body, the magical girl he had been seeing for even longer than she had known him.

And although she had tried to seduce him, he hadn’t fallen for it.

From the start, the one next to him was Ai, a magical girl incomparably strong and beautiful compared to herself.

That’s why she became even more rotten and tainted.

If only he wouldn’t leave.

It was the warmth she had gained for the first time, and she was afraid he would leave.

And she was afraid.

What would happen to her if she was left alone again?

If she were left alone again after knowing such warmth, compared to when she didn’t know it?

Back then, she didn’t know what solitude and loneliness were, so she somehow endured.

Then, what about now?

Perhaps, she might not be able to last even a day.

“Counselor-nim……”

Strange thoughts kept coming into her mind.

How could she bind this man to herself?

What should she do so that he stays by her side?

And gradually, her hand moved downwards.

The destination was simple.

The softest, most cushiony, and most precious place on a woman’s body.

Stroking the area around his lower abdomen, she looked at his face.

And she recalled old memories as well.

Every night.

There was something her father, who was dead drunk like a dog every night, used to say.

-If only that bitch hadn’t had you….

She got pregnant, so he was forced to marry.

The incident where her father, who claimed to be free, got entangled with her mother and fell into ruin.

For the first time, greed arose in Freif.

What if, in this belly… she were to have the counselor-nim’s child?

Wouldn’t he be unable to leave her?

Such desires gradually coalesced inside her, forming Freif’s lump.

The enlarged lump gradually transformed into desire from deep within Freif’s chest, bringing about changes.

I want to possess him.

I wish he would stay by my side continuously.

Just as I depend on him, I wish he would also depend on me.

Perhaps thanks to the characteristic of magical girls who exert power through emotions, her actions seemed to gradually become more daring.

“What if…… I.”

If I were to force myself on him right here.

Certainly, if she were an ordinary girl, she would be overpowered in return and fail as soon as she tried.

However, Freif is a magical girl.

She can subdue an ordinary person with one hand.

‘But I don’t want to be hated……’

She didn’t even want to imagine being hated by him.

What if she were to force herself on him and be hated?

It was scary.

She wanted to possess him, but was also a coward afraid of being hated.

Her head hurt.

-Drip.

Without realizing it, her eyes were wet.

She didn’t know what to do.

For Freif, who had never been loved and had never learned how to love, everything at this moment was terrifying.

“Counselor-nim…”

Freif, stroking the face of the sleeping counselor, swallowed her tears.

Seeking warmth, she burrowed into his embrace and felt his warmth.

***

Early morning.

When I woke up from bed, my chest was warm, so I was able to greet the morning feeling very refreshed.

‘When did she burrow in like this again?’

Freif, held in my arms, sleeping soundly like a baby bird.

Did she burrow in while sleep-talking last night?

Certainly, if Ai had seen this, she would have gotten furious and broken my fingers.

‘Current time 8:30 AM… Is this a miracle morning?’

Normally, I would have had to quickly get dressed and leave because of my counseling schedule.

However, since both Freif and Ai were outside the framework of typical counseling, I didn’t necessarily have to go to the counseling office.

If it’s a blessing for a working person, it’s a blessing…

‘Still, I somehow miss the counseling office.’

I also missed the time when, as a counselor, I could clearly cut off relationships with clients.

I wonder when things started getting like this.

Since I was up, I decided to wake Freif up and have breakfast.

I shook the shoulder of Freif, who was sleeping soundly beside me.

“Yes, yes?! Ah… Ah! I-Is it morning already?”

“Yes, it’s already morning.”

“I’m sorry. I was going to wake up early and make breakfast today too… Please wait a moment, I’ll start with soybean paste stew.”

-Tug.

I grabbed Freif’s arm as she tried to quickly stand up and stopped her.

“Hmm, it’s troublesome in the morning, should we just order delivery?”

“Delivery…?”

Asking my client to make breakfast also felt a bit apologetic.

And it would be troublesome in the morning, wouldn’t it be faster and more convenient to just order something?

“Hmm… Do you perhaps like Kalguksu?”

***

“Hmm… This place is good. Lots of seafood too.”

“Right? I also order it every time after drinking the night before.”

We ordered two Kalguksu dishes for delivery and began a simple breakfast.

Freif seemed to find it quite to her taste and smiled.

The spicy soup and the chewy noodles that you chew in your mouth.

‘This is what everyday life is like.’

When I first started living together, there were quite a few things I was worried about.

As expected, since it was cohabiting with someone of the opposite sex, it felt like there would be many things that would be awkward or cause friction.

I thought there might be disagreements or arguments if there were parts where we didn’t match.

But what about now?

I definitely think it’s a better life than the past when I sat alone at the table feeling lonely.

-!!!

“Oh, just a moment, I’ll take a phone call.”

“Go ah-head…”

Seeing the name of the person who called, I quickly headed to the master bedroom.

Locking the door, I took a deep breath and cleared my throat.

And it didn’t take long before I answered the call.

“Uh, yeah… honey.”

-Hehe, Oppa, are you perhaps busy?

“No, I was having breakfast. How about Ai?”

-I was just having breakfast too.

It was the voice of Ai, who would be my girlfriend for the next 6 days.

The term of endearment ‘honey!’ still felt unfamiliar and awkward.

Well, since Ai is satisfied, I’ll probably keep using it.

Ai, lively from the morning.

After briefly asking about each other’s well-being, we slowly got to the main point.

-Oppa, are you perhaps busy today?

“Today…? Uh, just a moment.”

I thought about my schedule.

Considering the existing counseling schedule, today was only supposed to be Freif’s counseling day.

However, after living together, counseling schedules have almost disappeared… so I guess I should consider my time free.

“Yes, today is quite free.”

-Then, do you want to go on a date with me today?

“A date?”

-Yes, is it strange for lovers to go on a date?

Well, no, it’s not.

There was nothing to reply to Ai’s words.

Since we were only in a relationship for a week, I had somewhat expected a date.

Although I hadn’t imagined it would be today.

“Hmm, yes, that’s good.”

-Then let’s meet in front of Centum Tower in City A. I love you, Oppa!

“Uh, um… yes.”

-How about you, Oppa?

A chilling voice coming from beyond the phone.

“I, I love you too. Honey, I’ll see you later then.”

-Okay~ See you in a bit. Oppa.

-Click.

After the call ended, the strength left my legs, and I plopped down onto the bed.

I feel somehow drained.

Still, it’s the first date, I should make an effort and go out.

Because I decided to focus on satisfying Ai during the week-long relationship to ease her mind.

-Creak.

-Quickly!

‘Huh?’

When I opened the door and came out, I heard some sound.

What was that?

However, when I came out to the living room again, only Freif was there, still sitting at the table drinking water.

“H-Have you finished your call already?”

“Yes. Perhaps because I got a call suddenly in the morning, I feel tired.”

“Haha……. Do you perhaps have plans today…?”

Freif, who seemed uneasy, shrunk back and asked me.

Was she perhaps going to ask me to stay with her today?

However, unfortunately, I had a prior engagement today, so I had to refuse.

“I’m sorry. I have a prior engagement today.”

“Ah, yes… I’m sorry for bothering you.”

That was the moment the morning routine came to an end.

***

She definitely said to meet around here.

For my first date with Ai, I did my best.

Starting with clothes, even makeup, which I don’t usually do.

And I started to tremble slightly.

Although I had done a lot of counseling and physical contact, it was the first time for a date that actual lovers would go on.

‘Just don’t make a mistake……’

And after waiting for about 2 more minutes.

A beautiful voice, as if tickling my ears, began to be heard.

“Yeonwoo Oppa!!”

Of course, because I knew who the owner of the voice was, I also replied with a bright smile.

“A…i…?”

“Yes, I’m Ai, Oppa’s girlfriend.”

For a moment, I thought my eyes were deceiving me.

Because Ai was too beautiful?

No.

Ai in her casual clothes was also beautiful, but what caught my gaze was a different matter.

White hair.

Eyes like amethyst jewels.

And even a subtle halo shining.

‘Why did she come in her magical girl form?’
