Chapter 237 – I Just Want to Date Myself

Chicken with beer, of course. That said, I get tired of eating fried chicken all the time, so this time I ordered skewers, which are grilled chicken, even though the chicken is chicken.

“Hey, I really want to commend you for this preparation!”

“It’s an honor, Sohee.”

The reason the demon king praised it was none other than the cup. Mina continued her conversation with an excited face as she poured the beer she bought earlier into the 500-dollar beer glass she had bought.

“Having a glass like this at home makes it taste like going out and eating even though you rarely go out!”

“I just wanted to be of some help to everyone.”

“Little? Are you saying this is a little bit? The taste of drinking has increased?”

Pouring beer for everyone, including her own glass, she exclaimed at me with an exaggerated expression.

“Big! You! Aren’t you dating her girlfriend too well? Where the hell did you get a girl who was so talented and so humble?”

Even though it was a bit absurd, it felt good to praise Minah. However…

“But weren’t you my girlfriend too?”

“What? You mean Jim is your girlfriend too?”

“She is my girlfriend too.”

As I spoke, I pointed to Se-hee, who sat on the right side of the demon king, and across from me.

“Me?”

Perhaps she didn’t know how to call her name, Sehee opened her eyes wide and showed a cute and slightly surprised look. Then he said while unpacking the packaging.

“Yes, I am also your brother’s girlfriend.”

“What?!”

Even so, the demon king jumped up in place as if he didn’t know.

“You mean Jim’s sister was your girlfriend?! She is such a flirt!”

Seeing her pretending to be stern, I asked Minah, who was sitting next to me, in a small voice.

“Did he drink alcohol secretly?”

“No.”

“Do you have that kind of tension even though you haven’t drank?”

“Anyway,”

Minah cut off her words for a moment, looked at the demon king, and then she spoke again.

“The ‘story’ that Jiheon mentioned seems to bother you.”

“Okay?”

“No way! It’s not like that!”

Even though it was right in front of me, there was no way the demon king couldn’t hear it. However, despite saying no, he seemed more excited than usual.

“More than that! Come on, let’s sleep! I’ll have a drink! What are you all doing!”

At her urging, we all raised our glasses. Even though I felt sorry for making you worry, I made a toast to quickly end the tension.

“Come on, cheers!”

“Cheers”

“Cheers!”

“Cheers.”

We shouted cheers to each other and drank beer. Minah and Sehee emptied about half of their glasses, and Mawang and I emptied more than two-thirds at a time.

Bang!

The demon king, who lowered his glass on the table in the living room, didn’t drink much, but he asked with a red face.

“So, what is the story you want to tell?”

“Oh, is that?”

I ate one of the snacks that came with the chicken skewers and started talking.

“It is true.”

“Um, tell me.”

“…”

“…”

Only the demon king answered. Mina and Sehee focused on my words as they ate snacks that could fit in one bite like me.

In the midst of a slightly nervous gaze, I brought out what I had been thinking about.

“Actually, lately, there’s been a lot of talk about our relationship, right?”

The Demon King nodded as if he agreed.

“Well, Jim heard the stories too. I also slept bragging about Chae-eun and Seung-bin.”

“What are you sleeping on?! I was just talking!”

“Haha, did you?”

“And Seungbin is a boy!”

“Ah, well, seeing as you are the incarnation of sexual desire, well…”

The demon king, blurring the end of his words, secretly raised the corners of his mouth, and Minah finished the words he couldn’t finish.

“Well, it sounds like you can touch a man too.”

“Hey!”

Sae-hee said while sipping beer, and added more.

“Wouldn’t it be all good if it was a man or a woman?”

“Ah, Se-hee!”

“I felt that way. Isn’t that right, sisters?”

Saying that, she looked at the demon king and Mina, who had slept together. At that gaze, they met each other’s eyes and nodded.

“Um, sure.”

“It wasn’t bad to do it with a woman.”

Not only that, but Minah looked back at me and gave me an extra hit.

“Isn’t it the same for men as well?”

“It’s different!”

“Isn’t that because you haven’t tried it? Coincidentally, one of my employees is gay,”

“Noisy!”

This time, I fell for their eloquence again. But I came to my senses and asked again with a serious expression.

“No, do I have something to say? Won’t you listen?”

Then the three raised the corners of their mouths and said with a relaxed atmosphere.

“Hey, was that a joke?”

“I was kidding too. None of our employees are gay. Even if it’s the Reds.”

“Uh? So, was I just being serious?”

It bothered me a little what two of the three said, but it was clear that I would get involved again if I went further. I listened to what they were saying with one ear, let it out with the other, and opened my mouth again.

“So, you’ve been talking a lot about our relationship lately, right? So I have something in mind.”

“Hmm, something?”

“I am listening. Please speak.”

“Tell me please. Don’t stop talking this time.”

You guys are the ones who cut it off! I was about to shout Still, I persevered.

“Come to think of it, uh, well…”

“Come on. Are you waiting?”

“Are you not going to tell me?”

“I’m listening, brother.”

“Oh no, you’re talking! Therefore! I want to let people know that we are dating! That’s what I’m talking about!”

“Hmm?!”

Listen to me, everyone is at a loss for words. After a few seconds of silence, the demon king frowned and asked.

“Did you make me so nervous to say that?”

“Uh?”

“I thought Jiheon would propose.”

“Huh?”

“I thought my brother would ask for pegging.”

“What is pegging? No, don’t tell me it’s okay. Because I don’t want to hear it.”

Contrary to what they expected a serious reaction to be, the three remained calm. Rather, it was an atmosphere of disappointment that I had seriously thought about and made a decision.

I asked in bewilderment at the appearance that was completely different from what I expected.

“Oh no, are you okay? Even if I say I’m dating you guys?”

“What can I not do?”

Having said that, the demon king picked up a chicken skewer, a menu he saw with a nonchalant face. He took a bite of it and expressed his thoughts with appreciation.

“Um, not bad. Anyway, Jim doesn’t have much of an opinion.”

“Then can I tell you?”

“How many times do you say that? By the way, who are you talking about?”

“What, Chi, your friends or your parents?”

“You don’t have any friends.”

The Demon King knew me too well. I can’t even resist.

“Jiheon.”

At this time, Minah, who was still, raised her hand.

“Uh? Why?”

“I’m kind of the opposite.”

When she objected, she felt better. Of course, there were some surprises, but it felt like they were listening to me seriously.

“Why?”

“Now Jiheon is just a 20-year-old college student. Even if I told my parents-in-law, I think they would think it was a young adult.”

Of those words, all I heard was one word.

Mother-in-law

I wasn’t even married yet, but my parents-in-law raised the corner of my mouth by itself. Besides, I nodded my head because it wasn’t particularly wrong.

“Okay. Then let’s pretend we don’t talk to our parents.”

“That’s not what Jiheon said.”

“Uh?”

“It’s too early now, so I’ll tell you later.”

“I see. Then let’s do it.”

That word kept lingering in my head, so I just wanted to nod my head whenever Mina said it.

In the meantime, Sehee raised her hand like a school and said.

“Ah, then shall we keep it a secret from our parents as well?”

“No.”

I immediately shook my head. It was thanks to my mother that I decided to reveal our relationship to the people around me. Her mother’s approval of our relationship gave her peace of mind that she could meet them.

With that in mind, I told Sehee.

“Huh? Does your mother know?”

“… Yes?”

“Foo-huh?! Cough Cough!”

It was fun because both sisters reacted differently. Se-hee was at a loss for words as if she was dumbfounded, and the king stopped by while eating the second chicken skewers.

“Cough Cough! That, what, colock!”

While the demon king was coughing nonstop, Sehee asked with a white face.

“Mom, do you know?”

“Huh.”

“Uh, how?”

“During the college entrance exam, did you throw away condoms there? A trash can in the room.”

“Ah, that, because of that, did you get caught?”

“Huh.”

“Oh my god…”

“Cough, Cough! So!”

As if touching a baton with his speechless younger brother, the coughing devil asked with a red face.

“What did your mother say?”

“Uh? Just know how to date Don’t make you cry.”

Of course, I didn’t say that I told you to come to the bedroom when you guys sleep.

“Is it true?”

The demon king asked back as if he didn’t believe the mother I had told him about. But all I can say here is positive.

“Oh, because it is.”

“About Minah?”

“I thought you already knew.”

“How?”

“You just knew it would.”

“What, ah, ahaha, ahahahaha!”

Suddenly, the demon king started laughing as if he had lost his mind. Apparently, the story I was told was quite shocking.

“Are you tired?”

While Mawang and Se-hee were both dumbfounded, Min-ah asked softly.

“I thought it was invisible, but it looks like it was caught.”

A small smile crept across her lips as she spoke.

“I saw it secretly too, but I guess everyone got caught.”

I met Mina’s eyes as I laughed too. Her brown eyes, slightly darker than those on the left, shone like jewels.

“Ha, no way!”

The demon king, who came to his senses, shouted.

“At times like this, you need to drink! Isn’t that right, Sehee!”

“Yes, sister! Let’s just have a drink!”

Sae-hee, like her older sister, started to drink a lot of alcohol and side dishes with a feeling of desperation.

But it’s Sehee. Didn’t you say you never drink alcohol?
