Side Story Chapter 50: Bloody Family Trip (1)



The sun rose.

"Argh… my head feels like it’s gonna split open." Yeon-Joo scrunched up in bed, waking up because of the sunlight entering the room. "How much did I drink…?"

She drank too much because it was the first time in a while she felt drunk.

’Uhhh… I remember up to the point that Balrog began clinging to Oh Kang-Woo…’

Yeon-Joo couldn’t remember anything beyond that no matter how much she racked her brain.

"Argh…"

She was feeling nauseous. Although she was not vomiting as if she had already regurgitated everything in her stomach, her vision was blurring as her headache got worse.

"Urgh, I’m never fucking drinking again!"

Yeon-Joo lifted her blanket as she made a pledge that had likely been broken millions of times worldwide by humanity.

"...?"

She then saw her bare naked self.

"Wh-What the fuck?!!"

Yeon-Joo pulled the blanket back down in shock and covered herself. She looked around to see she was in one of the guest rooms in Kang-Woo’s apartment suite.

"Wh-Why am I b-buck naked?" she stuttered.

She pulled her hair in pallor but couldn’t remember what happened last night.

"Huuu, huuu. Calm down. I’m sure nothing happened."

Yeon-Joo placed her hand over her flat chest and took deep breaths. She had likely thrown off her clothes in a drunken frenzy.

"Yeah, there’s no need to overreact… Huh?"

Yeon-Joo felt something soft on her left palm as she brainwashed herself to calm down. She reflexively turned to it and saw something.

"...!!!"

She suppressed her scream with all her might. Next to her was Kang-Woo, sleeping soundly.

’KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!’

Her inner scream echoed throughout her mind. She examined Kang-WOo as she trembled.

"H-He’s… wearing clothes."

Unlike her bare naked self, Kang-Woo was fully clothed.

’Wh-What? What the hell happened?’

Yeon-Joo’s eyes darted uncontrollably and her mind was going blank.

’D-Did I s-s-s-s-s-s-sleep with him? Did we do it drunk?’

She had no idea since she was naked while Kang-Woo was clothed.

’I-I need to check…’

Yeon-Joo looked around in panic. Her gaze then slowly made its way down her body but she quickly looked back up.

"N-Nah~ There’s no way we let the alcohol get the better of us, right?"

She was sure they had simply slept on the same bed and she threw off her clothes as she slept.

"Yup, yup."

Yeon-Joo smiled forcibly and nodded as if hypnotizing herself. She wanted to wake Kang-Woo to be sure but didn’t have the courage to.

"H-Hahaha. Hahahaha!"

She was about to get out of bed as she laughed awkwardly when she noticed something smeared on the bed sheet. She turned to take a closer look.

"Ah…"

Yeon-Joo turned pale. She touched the red fluid on the sheet with trembling hands. There was a faint scent of blood.

"N-No…" She stepped backward as she swayed. She pulled on her hair and squeezed her eyes shut to deny reality. "Th-There’s no fucking way."

Yeon-Joo wanted to scream her lungs out but had no idea how to face Kang-Woo if he woke up from that.

’AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!’

Her inner screams echoed throughout her mind.

"Fuck… Fuck… Th-There’s no way… My first time couldn’t have been taken like this…"

Yeon-Joo teared up, being faced with an unbelievable reality. She had been hoping for it one day ever since she confessed to Kang-Woo, but this was not what she had in mind.

"Motherfucker… I… I… can’t remember a thing…"

She couldn’t remember her precious first time because she had been drunk out of her mind. She had never experienced something so unfair. Her tears did not stop due to her frustration.

"You… son of a bitch…"

Yeon-Joo glared at Kang-Woo resentfully. Only a lecherous scumbag would take advantage of a drunk person.

"I knew you were a scumbag, but… I-I never thought you’d do something like this…" Her surging fury spread throughout her body. "Huuu, huuu."

She wanted to summon her chains and attack Kang-Woo this instant but didn’t dare to talk to him about it sober.

"..." Yeon-Joo staggered out of the room. "Hm?"

She was met with a mouth-watering scent when she opened the door. Han Seol-Ah was

"Good morning, Yeon-Joo."

"Y-Yeah, good morning. What’s that?"

"Dried pollock soup. For the hangover."

"Oh, th-thanks. Come to think of it, did you clean the living room too? It was a mess yesterday."

"I happened to wake up early, so I thought I might as well clean up~"

"Urgh. Sorry…"

"No, no~ it’s okay," said Seol-Ah as she waved with a smile.

"..."

Yeon-Joo’s expression darkened from seeing how energetic Seol-Ah was. She felt like a burglar caught by the homeowner. She softly bit her lip and fidgeted with her feet.

"That aside…" Seol-Ah remarked as she walked toward Yeon-Joo. She narrowed her eyes, brought her nose close to Yeon-Joo’s neck, and sniffed. "You smell like Kang-Woo."

"...!!!" Yeon-Joo’s face turned pale. She quickly stepped backward and stammered, "O-Oh, th-th-th-th-this?! Y-You see, the thing is…! Uhhh… K-K-K-K-Kang-Woo sneaked into my bed and…!"

"Fufu." Seol-Ah giggled with her mouth covered as she watched Yeon-Joo making excuses as she darted her eyes. "There’s no need to do that, Yeon-Joo. I already know you two slept together last night."

"..." Yeon-Joo was left frozen and speechless as she was trying to make excuses.

"I guess this makes us a real family now~ ♥"

Seol-Ah brought her hands together in delight. Yeon-Joo, having mixed feelings, stared at her.

"Are you… fine with that?"

"Hm? With what?"

"With this wacky relationship," Yeon-Joo continued sharply.

There was no way anyone could consider a polygamous relationship normal.

’I mean… I’m not one to talk.’

She had confessed to Kang-Woo first despite knowing he was in a relationship with Seol-Ah but was still unsure whether she should stop caring about the strangeness and go along with it.

"To be completely honest… I’m sure Kang-Woo will break up with me and Lilith if you say you’re not okay with it," Yeon-Joo mentioned.

She did not want to admit it and the fact broke her heart, but she knew Seol-Ah was the only woman Kang-Woo truly loved.

"Haha. I don’t think so." Seol-Ah shook her head. "Maybe so in the past, but now… Kang-Woo wouldn’t give up on Lilith unnie or you."

"But—"

"Mm." Seol-Ah added red peppers to the dried pollock soup and continued, "But as you say, you can’t call this relationship normal."

From a normal standpoint, their relationship was distorted.

"But even so, I want Kang-Wo to be happy."

Seol-Ah would let Kang-Woo do whatever he liked as long as it made him happy, even if she needed to trample on her crazed obsession.

"I can do anything for Kang-Woo."

Seol-Ah smiled without hesitation. Yeon-Joo gulped, facing the unfathomable wall of emotions that was Seol-Ah’s crazed love for Kang-Woo.

"Then… are you going to forgive Kang-Woo even if he lays his hands on any woman he sees?" asked Yeon-Joo.

"Do you think he would do something like that?"

"Well…" Yeon-Joo slurred and then slowly shook her head. "No, he wouldn’t."

"Fufu. Then it’s fine," said Seol-Ah as she took eggs from the fridge. "Also."

"Huh?"

"Umm, you and Lilith unnie are… well…" Seol-Ah’s face reddened as she cracked the eggs. "You guys are… p-precious to me too, so… that’s why I said it was okay."

Lilith cheered Seol-Ah on and gave her the push she needed to confess to Kang-Woo despite having loved Kang-Woo unrequitedly for centuries. Yeon-Joo was the only friend Seol-Ah had her age because she had lived in poverty for so long. Seol-Ah did not want to destroy her relationship with them because of her desire to monopolize Kang-Woo.

"Wow…" Yeon-Joo chuckled as she looked at Seol-Ah fidgeting in embarrassment. "Fuck… I guess I’m not cut out to be the Darling."

Seol-Ah was so lovely that it was almost not fair. Yeon-Joo smirked and teasingly poked Seol-Ah with her elbow.

"Then why did you kidnap Kang-Woo for a whole week?"

"Th-That’s…!!" Seol-Ah shouted. "Back then, I-I… wasn’t right in the head!"

"Hihi. What was it like, then?"

"S-Sometimes… I’m usually completely fine, but very~ rarely, my head gets filled with thoughts about Kang-Woo and it feels as if they control me."

Seol-Ah usually had thoughts about wanting to monopolize Kang-Woo, but it was not even close to what she felt when she was controlled by her thoughts. Her head filled with thoughts about wanting to tear apart anything that got between her and Kang-Woo, preventing her from making rational thoughts.

"Behehe! It’s not that rare, you know?"

"Ngh! N-No breakfast for you!!"

"Hahaha! Sorry! I’m sorry!" Yeon-Joo laughed as she pounded Seol-Ah’s back.

She felt light as if she had dropped something weighing her down.

Clack.

Lilith came out of her room.

"Oh, you’re both awake."

"Good morning, unnie," Seol-Ah replied.

"What’s that in your hand?" Yeon-Joo asked.

Lilith raised the black tights in her hand and tilted her head in confusion.

"I woke up to find them super dirty. I wonder what happened?"

"Maybe you spilled something on them while you were asleep?"

"I can’t remember in the slightest." Lilith frowned as she placed her hand on her forehead. "That aside, the thing you call alcohol is quite nice. It tastes delicious, and you feel wonderful after drinking it!"

Yeon-Joo nodded as she giggled. "Right? Hihi. Let’s drink some more next time."

Her pledge to never drink again broke before the chapter even ended.

"Fufu. More importantly, it looks like our little Yeon-Joo had a great time last night."

"H-Huh?"

Lilith smiled widely and clung to Yeon-Joo. "Hm~ How was your first night with the king?"

"A-Argh! Shut up!!" Yeon-Joo shouted as she yanked herself away from Lilith. "Kang-Woo just f-f-f-f-forced himself on me while I was asleep!!"

"Looks like we have one more thing to celebrate~ Oh, right!" Lilith’s eyes shone and she clapped her hands together as if she had thought of a great idea. "As a commemoration for all of us becoming one with the king, why don’t we all go on a family trip? The king included, of course."

"A trip…?"

Yeon-Joo and Seol-Ah exchanged glances with each other perplexedly.

erigiii’s Thoughts

Are you kidding me…? Drunk sex is questionable as fuck. Sure, Yeon-Joo could have given consent but she was drunk out of her fucking mind. Kang-Woo was tipsy but could make rational decisions, so if he took advantage of her while she was drunk, then that would disappoint me so much.

Am I overreacting for thinking this way…? I mean, other questionable shit (like legitimate rape) have happened but this just stood out to me a lot.
