166 – A Date with Seo-yoon Choi (1)

We finally have a new clan member.

For the first time ever, a newbie has arrived!

This feeling is similar to a fresh water entering a dead game that was previously filled with stagnant water.

The news of Mina’s membership was reported through the media as if it had been waiting.

It spread far and wide using the Internet, TV, newspapers, etc.

It was only natural that people’s interest would flare up since Jihyun, who had been running the clan without any additional members, was the first to open the door.

There were many people who were cautiously watching as they thought they might select more people on this occasion.

Even though the Shinjeong Clan claims to be a small and elite group, the general opinion was that they would not select just one person, Jumina.

Especially since the person chosen this time was a C-rank hunter, the hunters were even more excited.

It was a vain hope that often stemmed from the mindset of, ‘Even a C-ranked Naburang was selected, so is there a chance for me too?’

Of course, some people were complaining and gossiping, saying things like, “Hey, Jumi and Ryu Yerin are alumni of the same academy?” and “What the hell? So she’s a parachute?”

Anyway, since Jihyun was the first to select a new clan member, I couldn’t help but smile bitterly inside as people’s attention was focused on the future of the Shinjeong clan.

Because, contrary to people’s expectations, Jihyun had no intention of hiring more people right now.

It was a bit unfortunate, but Mina was a special case, and since the repairs and maintenance work on the clan house were not yet finished, she told me that selecting new clan members would be done after that.

‘I’m just spinning the happiness circuit in Heung-gal… … I’m going to apply as soon as the recruitment notice comes up… … .’

I feel a little sorry for those people, but I wish they would wait a little longer.

“Haa, haa, haa… … .”

“Ah. Mina. Are you okay?”

“Yes? Oh, yes! Oppa! Thank you so much for helping me with training today!”

Mina was panting while wearing a pink training suit.

Is it because I’ve been training for a long time?

Mina gasped for breath with a half-exhausted face.

Every time her upper body moved, her chest would shake, making it a bit embarrassing to look at her. In particular, sweat was forming between her sternum… … Ah, shit. Let me stop thinking about it.

I shook my head and spoke to Mina.

“Don’t push yourself too hard.”

“No, oppa. You are helping me like this… … .”

Mina wiped the sweat and laughed.

“Thank you so much for helping me whenever you have time, oppa.”

“Aren’t you saying thank you too often?”

“Oh. Is that so? But it’s not just empty words.”

I’ve felt this way since long ago, but Mina has a really good personality.

Polite, cheerful, and friendly to adults… … .

I feel a little bad saying this, but I’m the complete opposite of Yerin. Yerin is a bit like a fox(?).

‘This is really great. I feel like I have a cute junior.’

I smiled bitterly in my heart.

The women around me were all stronger than me, so I would feel a little inferiority complex without realizing it, but Mina was not like that at all.

It may be a bit absurd and pathetic to think like this, but I was lucky that I was able to help Mina in many ways because I had a strong feeling that she was a weaker junior than me.

Every time I receive help from Mina, her eyes sparkle and she politely thanks me, so I can’t help but help her.

‘This is what it feels like to have a junior who listens well. Not bad.’

He listens well and is cute.

I feel like I want to take care of it as much as possible.

Of all the people around me, you’re the first woman weaker than me, Mina.

Looking back, there were only monstrous women around me.

Not only Jihyun, Seoyoon, Hwaryeon, and Yerin, but also Cha Soyeon, Lee Sol, and Seong Dahyun were stronger than me.

As a result, my self-esteem naturally dropped a lot… … .

Thanks to Mina, I feel like I’ve regained some of my self-esteem.

“How is clan life? Is it okay?”

“Yes. My brother and sister. I’m really happy that everyone is so kind to me.”

“Isn’t Jihyun or Yerin bullying you for no reason?”

“No. Everyone is doing well.”

“Yerin too?”

“……yes.”

Nodding awkwardly doesn’t give credibility, Mina.

“Well, anyway, I’m glad you’re doing well.”

“Yes! The facilities here are really nice. I was really surprised.”

“That’s right. Jihyun spends a lot of money. No, honestly, I think it’s a bit wasteful. She’s buying a bunch of unnecessary facilities. Well, she said it was for the future or something.”

“Oh, haha. I see.”

Even this large building is like that.

Why did they buy such a large building when they claim to be a small and elite group?

Moreover, there are surprisingly many convenient facilities.

Although it is not yet fully completed, it includes a cafe and convenience store, as well as a movie theater, game room, karaoke room, hot springs, swimming pool, etc.

It’s confusing whether this is a clan house or a resort.

I heard that they are planning to expand more facilities with the alimony they received from Charlotte last time… … .

At this level, it seems like the facilities are better than those of the four major clans.

Seo-yoon also occasionally came here to use the facilities.

“Minaya, take this.”

“ah.”

I used my telekinesis to hand Mina the sports towel and the electrolyte drink that had been placed slightly away.

Mina, who was handed a floating drink and a towel, bowed her head slightly and muttered words of gratitude.

“Thank you, oppa.”

“no.

“… … The two of you have a good vibe.”

“Oh, that’s a surprise.”

Suddenly, someone came between us, and it was the gray-haired girl Ryu Ye-rin.

“Yerin. Do you come here often these days? Aren’t you busy?”

“I’m really busy… … but I still have time to see the teacher’s face.”

“okay?”

“Yes. But why are you like that? Do you not want to see my face?”

Yerin bit her lip slightly and grumbled.

“No, that’s not it. I just like seeing you so often these days.”

“I see, right?”

I have a rough idea why Yerin has been coming here so often lately.

I guess he’s worried about me being alone with Mina.

In the case of Jihyun, Seoyoon, and Hwalyeon, they were busy and couldn’t meet often, but that wasn’t the case for Mina at all.

Mina is neither the clan leader nor the successor.

Since we were ordinary clan members like me, we often hung out together.

Maybe that’s why. As the days passed, I could feel Yerin’s nerves becoming more and more sensitive.

… … No, if it was going to be like this, then you should have just refused to let Mina join the clan in the first place.

I knew it was a little unpleasant, but it wasn’t good for my heart in many ways for him to suddenly stick his head out like this and watch me do anything strange.

“Don’t you like Mina being near me?”

“They say to keep your friends close, and your enemies closer, but… … Honestly, I don’t really like the idea of ​​two people getting too close.”

Yerin, that’s not the right word to use at a time like this.

“I was just helping you with some training.”

“… … You were just looking at Mina’s chest.”

“Phew!”

Mina, who had been gulping down an electrolyte drink, choked as if she had caught a cold.

“Knock knock, knock… … Uh, uh, Yerin? What did you just say?”

“You heard it too. The teacher was secretly looking at your breasts… … .”

“Yerin! When did I say that!”

I screamed in surprise.

Mina frowned at my face.

And then she quietly covered her chest.

No, really.

What are you talking about?

“… … Even though you saw it all.”

“I said no?”

Yerin mumbled quietly, her lips slightly protruding.

“… … I have breasts too.”

“… … ?”

I blinked and looked at Yerin, and Yerin pecked her chest once before glaring at Mina with her lips pursed.

Then Mina floundered with a bewildered face.

Yerin’s sharp voice immediately attacked Mina.

“I guess I shouldn’t have trusted Ping-Chang after all.”

“Hey, Mina. Oh my. There’s no way, oh, oppa would see my breasts… … Ah… …?”

“joy.”

Yerin farted just like Jihyun.

“What are you talking about when you were shaking your proud chest right in front of my eyes?”

“Yes, Yerin!”

Mina, whose face was as red as a ripe persimmon, flinched in surprise, but Yerin continued to babble without stopping.

“Jumin, aren’t you actually enjoying the teacher’s gaze? You have a more sinister side than I thought.”

“no!”

“Or why are you so openly revealing your heart in front of other men?”

“I didn’t expose my chest! I just unzipped my coat a bit because it was hot… … .”

“It seemed to me like you were showing off your breasts?”

“Ugh, yes, Yerin… … .”

The two are arguing.

Of course, it was Yerin who was grumbling unilaterally.

Anyway, those two people argued like that often.

Considering they were friends, it wasn’t that strange.

Friends may bicker a bit.

‘But, I can understand why Yerin is jealous. Yerin must be anxious in many ways. She must not like it either.’

If Yerin and I were in the opposite situation, I might have been a bit jealous like Yerin.

‘I’m also in a relationship with Yerin… … I’ll try to reassure Yerin sometimes.’

Now that I think about it, I don’t remember doing anything romantically related with Yerin Lee.

It was because she looked a bit young and had a strong feeling of being a close younger sister.

However, the current Yerin has grown a lot compared to the past, and the s*xy(?) Yerin before her regression lingers in my mind, so the feeling of her being like a younger sister has largely disappeared.

“Yerin, Ryu Yerin.”

“Oh, yes, teacher. Why are you like that?”

“Don’t be so jealous.”

“… … I’m not jealous.”

“Really? Isn’t that a bit extreme for something like that?”

“… … It’s just that Mina is a bit of a tease to the teacher.”

“T-Tail didn’t wag!”

Yerin ignores Mina’s last words.

“Ha. Yerin. Come here.”

“yes?”

“hurry.”

“Oh, yes.”

As Joreum Yerin approached, I put my lips on Yerin’s cheek. And I gave her a light kis. No, strictly speaking, it was more like a peck than a kis. At that moment, Yerin’s large red eyes blinked.

“teacher?”

“Oh, brother?”

At my unexpected action, Yerin and Mina turned their heads with startled expressions and looked at me.

I scratched my cheek with an awkward expression.

Being skinship in front of Mina was embarrassing in many ways.

Moreover, since I had never been this close to Yerin before, the embarrassment hit me even harder.

But I tried to keep a calm face and opened my mouth.

“You are my lover, Yerin. So don’t be too jealous of Mina. How about showing your generosity as my lover?”

“… … Sir?”

Yerin just looked up at me with a blank expression, not knowing if I was listening or not, and then she gently brought her hand to the cheek I had kised.

“… … Hiccup. Teacher kised me?”

“No, I just kised her on the cheek. I can’t even call it a kis.”

“… … It’s not often that a teacher has done something like this before.”

“Is that so?”

“We’ve been dating for quite some time now, but the teacher keeps showing some reluctance. I don’t have s*x with Jihyun unnie… … .”

“Hey, hey! Stop it! Stop it there!”

I quickly covered Yerin’s mouth.

Mina tilted her head.

“s*x? I did something with Jihyun unnie… … .”

Mina’s face, which had been puzzled for a moment, hardened.

And then his face turned bright red!

It seemed as if steam was billowing up above my head.

Mina blushed and mumbled.

… … No, what kind of shame play is this?

“Ah, haha… … You two are both adults… … That, it’ll be okay… … .”

“Isn’t it time for us to do it now, teacher? For our Serin and Yejun!”

Yerin’s red eyes gradually became filled with excitement.

Uh, uh, how about calming down?

You look like a beast eyeing its prey, Yerin.

“Seorin and Yejun?”

“It’s the name of the child with the future teacher.”

“Oh, you’ve already decided on a name… … .”

Mina exclaimed with a slightly surprised expression.

“Teacher. Do you have some time left until your appointment with Seo-yoon today? Then, until then, would you like to spend some quality time with me… .”

“What are you guys doing there?”

Jihyun, who had entered the training ground without realizing it, tilted her head.

“Are you still training? Seojun, you said you had plans with Seoyoon today? Just take it easy. If you meet Seoyoon later, you won’t pass out in the middle of it.”

“Oh, okay. Then I guess I’ll be going now.”

“… … Tsk.”

The labor pains were broken by Jihyun’s sudden intrusion. Yerin just clicked her tongue with a dissatisfied expression.
