Chapter 39 – I’d Like to Continue in Your Room
“So, call Jim Sohee!”
“Suddenly?”
“Why? Is it a bit too much for standing up?”
After saying that, she passed me and sat down on the bed with her anime character’s face painted on it.
“Sit here!”
“There?”
“Hmm!”
Boom!
The demon king tapped the seat next to him with the palm of his hand.
“Ruler! Sit here and pack your stuff! White! Call me! By the way, it would be better if you whispered in my ear!”
“Here?”
“What’s wrong? After all, Jim and I are alone.”
Then, with exaggerated gestures, he looked around the room where dozens of beautiful girls were. The only living beauty smiled happily and knocked on the bed again.
“No problem. Come sit down.”
“No, but… “
“Excellent! How indecisive a man is!”
Suddenly, the Demon King pulled my hand. When her unexpected force was applied, her limbs fell forward and eventually fell over her.
“!”
“!”
Her beautiful face filled my vision. Her white skin, untouched by snow, her boldly shining blue eyes, her high nose, and her seductively smiling pale pink lips. The demon king opened her eyes wide as if she didn’t know it would turn out like this, but it soon turned into an alluring eye smile.
“Oh, I didn’t mean to ask for something like this.”
“Mi-sorry!”
I hurriedly tried to get myself up. In that short time, the demon king wrapped his arm around my neck, and I couldn’t move.
“What, hey!”
“What are you sorry about? Jim brought it on himself.”
Unlike me who was taken aback, she put on a rather relaxed expression.
“Now call me Sohee.”
“Hey, hey!”
“Are you doing this on purpose?”
She frowned in displeasure. But she gave a mischievous laugh and tightened her arms around me.
“Jim told me not to call you ‘ya’, nat!”
“Ugh!”
Until just now, I had been bending awkwardly with strength in my lower back to avoid contact as much as possible. In such a state, when she gave her strength, she had no choice but to collapse.
All I could see in front of me was the eyes of the character drawn on the bed. But I was more concerned about how it felt on my skin than what it looked like. It was because I was now collapsing on top of her demon king and rubbing her cheeks with her.
The demon king whispered in my ear. Her light breathing made her head dizzy.
“Now is your chance.”
“… “
“Come on, tell me. Just like it did that night.”
“… !”
“I can feel your breath quivering. Don’t be nervous.”
“!”
As she lifted the tension, she unconsciously moved her body.
“Okay, don’t move. Do you think the burden will let go?”
This time, he was subdued by the demon king and could not escape. Still, when she moved her body a little, her red ears were visible through her silver hair.
It was a relief to see that I wasn’t the only one to be ashamed of. But at the same time, being conscious of it made her face heat up.
“Ruler.”
The demon king whispered in my ear.
“Call Jim.”
It was a thin voice that seemed to break at any moment. Even so, the thin voice was intense, as if it were embedded in my brain.
“… Cow”
Unknowingly, I opened her mouth and tried to call her out. As if her trembling breath had touched her, the demon lord trembled her body.
“Um…!”
At this time, I was extremely nervous and could only hear the sound of my heart. It was so loud that I couldn’t even hear her talking.
“No, try again. So, hee, say.”
“Cow, cow… “
“… Big.”
“White”
Smart!
I straightened my back like a spring at the sudden knocking sound. The demon king was also surprised, so he untied his arm, and thanks to that, I was able to escape from the arms.
Unlike before, I held my beating heart and looked toward the door. She too responded by pulling herself up from her bed.
“Yes yes?”
“Sister.”
The one who knocked was Sehee. The demon king with a blushing face asked in a trembling voice to his younger brother who came at the right time (?).
“Why why? What’s the matter?”
“Mom wants to eat.”
“Oh yeah?”
“Yes, please bring your guests too.”
“Okay, okay. Hang in there.”
The demon king got up from the bed with his face still red. Then she spoke in a voice that Sehee, who was on the other side of the door, couldn’t hear.
“Sorry, I guess Jim was overexcited. It must be because you were so happy to be here.”
She didn’t make eye contact with me while I was talking. It was the same for me, and the two of us headed for the visit without facing each other.
“Oh but.”
The demon king suddenly stopped and looked back at me. Then she lifted the corners of her mouth and pushed her face towards me. At a distance where they could feel each other’s breath, she whispered softly.
“I’d love to continue in your room, but what do you think?”
“What, what?”
“Just kidding! What are you so surprised about!”
As if playing a joke, she lightly tapped my chest. And before I could speak, I opened the door and left. I was surprised to see Sehee in front of the door, and I froze for a second, but then I headed for the stairs with my silver hair fluttering.
“… “
Se-hee stared at her sister who had left without saying a word, then turned her head and met her eyes with mine. She called me with a cold expression.
“Brother.”
“Uh, huh?”
At this time, I was frightened by her, as if she had been caught doing something bad. Se-hee calmly took out her phone at me, who was already scared. ♥My oppa♥ showed the floating screen and said.
“Don’t get too close with your sister.”
Then, like the demon king, he walked up the stairs without waiting for an answer.
After all, I wondered if he was my younger brother, and I wondered if he was jealous. I slowly headed towards the first floor while blushing for what had just happened.
I arrived on the first floor and followed Se-hee into the kitchen. In the middle of the kitchen, there was a rectangular table large enough for 6 people to sit on, and there were several side dishes, mainly braised short ribs, on it, and the king and her mother could be seen sitting on the table.
“Oh, Jiheon! Sit here!”
The Demon King spoke plainly and pointed to the empty seat next to him. However, Se-hee sat down without hesitation at all.
Even the demon king and her mother stared blankly at her sudden action. It was my mother who spoke first.
“Se-hee, Se-hee. You can’t do that.”
“… “
“Se-hee, can you get out of the way?”
“… “
Even at the words of the two, Sehee did not stand up without saying a word. I was dumbfounded too, but I stopped the two of them thinking about what she said to me.
“Oh no! Are you okay! I will sit over there.”
I said and headed to the seat set to my mother’s right. When I sat down, the two women understood as if they couldn’t help it.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Jiheon.”
“Because it’s okay.”
“Still… “
“No matter where you sit, as long as the food is delicious.”
“Ah Bob!”
As Mother said, she switched the rice in front of me and the rice in front of Sehee. But that amount was no joke. What I gave to Se-hee was ordinary, but what I gave was an enormous amount. The rice bowl was not filled with rice, but almost piled up.
The two adult men saw enough food to feed them, and looked up at their mother. She asked, frowning slightly.
“Is it too many? It’s the first time my daughters bring a boy, so I’ve included a lot… “
I couldn’t say too many.
“No, enough… !”
“Is it so?”
Then my mother smiled brightly and said in an excited tone.
“If you have a rice hat, tell me more. Because I’m making a new meal right now! Se-hee said that Ji-heon eats a lot, so I made it in advance!”
To the side she pointed to, she saw an electric rice cooker that was running excitedly.
Unlike my mother who smiled, I looked at the demon lord. She was looking at me laughing.
Why did you do that!
I wanted to shout right away, but I couldn’t in front of Se-hee and her mother. All I could do now was smile kindly.
“Is it so? You don’t have to!”
Sincerely.
“Oh ho ho! Looking so good makes me feel good too!”
“Yes! So good!”
My mother, unaware of my speed, gave me a hearty smile. Then she clapped once, as if she had an idea.
Match!
“Ah! Come to think of it, she forgot about him. Are you Sehee?”
“Yes.”
After being called, Se-hee got up without saying anything and left the kitchen. In the meantime, my mother talked to me with a smile.
“Mr. Jiheon has never seen her daughter’s father, right?”
“Ah yes. He paid for treatment and hospitalization, but I’m sorry I didn’t call you once.”
“No. It was because of Sohee. Of course we have to pay.”
“Even so, I should have come to see you earlier. Sorry.”
“You don’t have to apologize? Besides, even if Mr. Jiheon tried to meet you, he wouldn’t have met you anyway.”
“Yes?”
“Actually, he has gone far away… “
The mother slurred her words and put on a dark expression.
The moment I saw it, I had a hunch that something was wrong. I was curious about what was going on, but it seemed like I already knew the situation.
“Mother.”
Se-hee came into the kitchen holding the picture frame in her arms. In the black framed frame, there was a picture of a middle-aged Korean man who looked to be in his 50s.
I hope he died… !
When my head was filled with ominous thoughts, a picture of a man with a benevolent expression moved.
-Are you Jiheon?
Was it a video call! Come to think of it, I said I went on a business trip far away!
The frame that I thought was a picture of a portrait was actually a tablet PC. The man in the tablet was wearing a suit and had short hair, almost like a soldier. Anyway, seeing the demon lord father, I got up from my seat and bowed my head.
“Hello. It is called Jiheon.”
– Hey, sit down. You can sit
After hearing that, I sat down again.
In the meantime, Se-hee brought the tablet to her mother. She said while holding it with both hands for her mother and making eye contact with her father in the video.
“Husband!”
-Huh! Self! Were you lonely?
“What are you lonely about? It’s not even a day or two apart.”
-No way…
“Still,”
She brought it close to the bottom of the tablet where the microphone was and whispered.
“I missed you, darling. A lot of that.”
I found out who taught me how to make the devil’s heart beat. There was no way a daughter like her parents would not learn.
“Ugh.”
On the other hand, the demon king frowned as if he had seen something he couldn’t see. She turned her head to the other side of her mother, probably not wanting to see the always expressionless Sehee.
Whether the two of them did it or not, my mother showed me the tablet screen again. There was the father of the demon king, his face red from his heart pounding.
– I’m sorry that this happened all of a sudden. Put the guest in front.
“No. It was nice to see them looking good.”
-Okay? Nice to meet you anyway I am So-hee and Se-hee’s father, Baek Joong-ho. Just call me father
“Yes, Father.”
-If you don’t like it, you don’t have to, huh? Are you really calling?
He smiled like he was happy. But I hardened his face when he said it was a joke and apologized.
“Sorry. Can I call you father?”
– No no! I said it as a joke, but I didn’t know you would listen! But I don’t have a son, so by the way, maybe he’s a father…
“Self?”
While her father was talking, her mother turned her tablet screen toward her.
-Huh?
“I’m sorry, but can we have dinner first? The kids and Mr. Jiheon are waiting for you.”
-Ah, yes yes! Then let’s talk while eating!
That’s how dinner started at the Demon King’s house. The food my mother prepared was literally excellent, and my father also ate something across the screen, giving me the feeling of eating together. We joked with each other and I got to know her and her family.
After a delightful meal, I emptied two bowls of rice piled up like a mountain and was completely full. The mother put down the spoon and told her daughters with a smile.
“So-hee, Se-hee.”
“Yes?”
“Yes, Mother.”
“Sohee, can you wash the dishes? Se-hee helps her sister, and when she has time, she cuts some apples and pineapples.”
The two got up from their seats with the words that they knew. I got up to help too, but my mother called me.
“Mr. Jiheon? Mr. Jiheon, will you follow me?”
“Yes?”
“Do not worry. It will only go to the living room.”
My mother got up with her tablet and left the kitchen. I had a hunch that something was coming when I saw it. Her heart throbbed, but she followed her, thinking it was something she had to do anyway.
“Would you like to sit on the sofa for a minute?”
Having said that, she set her tablet on a low table in front of the sofa. I stood and watched until I sat down, then walked towards the TV hanging on the wall.
In a tense atmosphere, the father on the screen said. There was a benevolent smile on his lips as before, but his eyes looking at me were serious.
-Jiheon-ah. We have a serious question. So I want you to talk seriously too.
“Uh, yes.”
-Jiheon-ah, what do you think of Sohee?
The moment I heard that question, my mind went blank. I looked to her mother for help, but she was holding a Japanese sword hanging over the TV.
Her mother, whom she thought would help for a moment, looked just as serious as her father.
“Mr. Jiheon. You can dodge or counterattack. By the way, don’t get hurt. OK?”
