Chapter 99
Just as Yu-jin had barely escaped Winterer’s attack,
He was struck directly by Ryu Suyun's declaration of *“I’m not wearing any underwear.”*
His eyes shifted to her chest.
*‘Well, considering how tight her clothes are, she probably can’t wear regular underwear... But why is she telling me that?’*
He knew she wasn’t wearing underwear.
But was it really necessary for her to tell that to a man like him?
Even if he was the benefactor of her daughter, Hayeong, there are limits to casualness.
No, more than that, she’s suggesting to kiss like lovers?
She wouldn’t say such a thing unless she had feelings for him.
*‘Could it be that she likes me...?’*
- *Ding!*
*[The skill ‘Complete Hypnosis’ happily recites the master’s embarrassing history.]*
*‘...There’s no way she could like someone like me. She must be disgusted by the thought of remarrying.’*
And Ryu Suyun was no ordinary person.
Before her regression, she had resolutely lived alone, stating, *“I’m sick of men now.”*
She was like a flower on a cliff.
It was absurd to think that someone like her would love him and flirt so openly.
At least, that’s how it seemed to Yu-jin.
*‘So this means...’*
- *Slyly.*
*‘Aha. You’re teasing me, aren’t you?’*
After sorting through his thoughts, he came to a conclusion.
Ah, Suyun is trying to tease me right now!
Wow, is this the joke of a married woman? How spicy.
With a flushed face, Yu-jin sighed deeply.
*“Hehe.”*
*‘As expected of Yu-jin. Full of vitality.’*
However, contrary to Yu-jin's thoughts,
Ryu Suyun had a different motive.
His unstable mental state had stabilized since entering the academy.
Presumably, it was due to meeting someone he loved.
But which of the three could it be?
That’s what she needed to figure out before doing anything.
...Should she test it a little?
*[I’m not wearing any underwear, so there’s nothing to take off.]*
*[W-what are you saying, sister!?]*
- *Glance.*
*‘A moment of eye contact with his chest. Enlarged pupils and hyperventilation....’*
That was why Suyun had decided to playfully tease Yu-jin.
She was a highly skilled doctor before becoming an awakener.
She could glean a lot just from observing bodily reactions.
Based on his response, she concluded he was in a typical state of excitement.
Her eyes sparkled with interest.
*‘Hehe. Well, it’s definitely not Yushia. One down.’* @@@@
Judging from that reaction, he didn’t seem to have a preference for flat-chested individuals.
And it wasn’t like he was short on funds.
At least, Yushia was not a consideration.
She was pretty, charming, and had excellent conditions...
But her counterpart was far from ideal. Unfortunately.
*‘That leaves two. From here on, I’ll have to tease him as a woman, not a doctor.’*
- *Smirk.*
*“What’s wrong? Don’t like it?”*
*‘I have no choice. For now, I’ll have to focus on Alice.’*
But that was only for a moment.
Yu-jin steeled himself.
To hide his love for his wives...
Ironically, he prepared to reveal his feelings to the world.
*“Yu-jin, do you think so too? Love isn’t a crime....”*
*“Yes. I love Alice.”*
*“......Oh?”*
*“She’s the most lovable, cute, and pure person. How could I not love her? I love her more than anyone in the world.”*
The confession slipped through his lips.
Raw feelings unrefined by restraint.
The faces of both women were marked with astonishment.
*“Little one. Who is this Alice?”*
*“Alice is someone who always praises me. Whenever I hear her compliments, my heart races, and I try to look cooler. She’s that kind of girl.”*
*“Yu-jin, you....”*
*“If it weren’t for Alice, I would have run away long ago. I would have hidden away under the pressure of expectations, right? Everything I’ve done until now has been thanks to Alice.”*
Yu-jin continued to speak without restraint.
His honest feelings, to the point of making anyone who heard feel embarrassed.
He spoke nonstop for a solid ten minutes.
*“Alice is my light. My love. My
everything....”*
To some, those words might sound like mere flattery.
But the heat behind them, the sincerity, and the love
Conveyed the truth with no deceit.
Thus, the faces of the two women turned gradually red.
*“So, that’s how it is...?”*
*‘Yu-jin, how can you say such things so casually? I feel embarrassed just listening to you....’*
*‘What is this love that has Yu-jin saying all this? Why is my heart racing?’*
Both women began to speak less and less.
It was exactly as Yu-jin thought.
*“Hehe. If I throw this kind of nonsense out there, everyone will think I’m single-mindedly devoted to Alice from now on, right?”*
- *Wink.*
*“You’ll keep it a secret, right? Suyun, you too. Winterer, you too.”*
- *Ding.*
*[The skill ‘Complete Hypnosis’ gives a cute wink!]*
*“Uh, okay. If you’re going that far....”*
*“Of course, I was going to keep it a secret....”*
The way they looked at him made Yu-jin feel a mix of sympathy and affection.
* * *
That evening.
*“Hello, Alice Littonwood.”*
*“...Who are you?”*
In the dimly lit infirmary, Alice asked with a tense expression.
And then,
*“I’m Ryu Suyun, an A-class awakener. I’m a temporary instructor who will be working as the school nurse from today.”*
*“Y-you’re the Ryu Suyun, the Angel in White!!?”*
*“Oh? You know about me. I thought foreign students only knew the association president and didn’t care about people like me.”*
*“How could I not know! My goodness. The Angel in White is the school nurse! I’m so glad I came to Korea....”*
With the shocking news of Suyun becoming the school nurse,
*“Let’s get straight to the point. Alice, please help with Yu-jin’s treatment.”*
*“Huh? Treatment? I don’t know anything about that... No, is Yu-jin sick?”*
*“Yes. Due to confidentiality, I can’t tell you everything, but Yu-jin is a patient. A severe one at that.”*
*“I’ll help with whatever I can!! If it’s something I can do!!”*
Alice responded upon hearing about Yu-jin’s pain.
*“But what should I do....”*
*“Can you cradle Yu-jin in your arms? Holding his head close to your chest.”*
*“Huh?”*
*“Hmm. Was it too hard for a foreigner? Draw him close to your chest, cradling his head gently.”*
*“...That’s not the issue here!!”*
An oddly offbeat treatment method was proposed.
