SIDE STORY – TO EARTH (14)

The door opened.

Hong Yoo Hee entered first and was slowly followed by Kang Jin-ho.

In the entryway between the front door and the living room door.

After slowly opening the door, they took off their shoes and headed inside.

In the midst of these procedures, Hong Yoo Hee was screaming continuously.

Of course, that was all in her mind.

‘KYAAAAAAAAAA!’

What is this, what is this?

What’s with this situation now?

What the hell did I do?

No one is home today?

My parents aren’t here?

Let’s watch Netflix?

I cook ramyeon well?

‘Ah…eu, ah… Eueue… aaaaah!’

What were you thinking, Hong Yoo Hee?

What the hell were you thinking?

I’m excited that oppa is here.

Yes, I’m too excited.

‘KYAAA!’

She did not do anything, but her face had rapidly turned red.

Her heart was beating like crazy and her breathing was getting rough.

And something came to her mind in the midst of this.

Something that replayed in her mind over and over again.

‘Eueueue.’

The dream she had last night.

She could not remember the dream that much, but the feeling she felt in that lewd, naughty, and dirty dream remained strong.

And in fact, Kang Jin-ho was also fighting against his embarrassment, excitement, impulse, and all kinds of emotions at this moment.

‘Calm down, Kang Jin-ho. Calm down.’

Calm down.

Always keep your calm.

Always think of the victory conditions, Gino.

Those were the teachings of Alexei.

His teachings had always been a great help to Kang Jin-ho.

‘But Alexei. What is the victory condition in this situation?’

Something immediately came into his mind.

So Kang Jin-ho blushed and unconsciously crossed his legs at that moment.

‘G-Good thoughts! Good thoughts!’

Kang Jin-ho tightly shut his eyes. He tried to erase the back of Hong Yoo Hee that he faintly recalled, and attempted to think of other things.

But it was not easy.

Or rather, something else came to his mind, and that one was more serious than before.

‘No, why!’

The dream he had last night.

A dirty dream that he rarely had in his life, but was perhaps caused by him drinking alcohol after a long time.

But it was different from the usual dirty dreams.

In his dirty dreams, a woman with reddish-pink hair always appeared, but yesterday was different.

Yesterday was not like the usual.

‘Ughhhh…’

A bunny ears headband.

A bunny tail.

Hong Yoo Hee appeared wearing a bunny girl outfit.

‘Kang Jin-ho, chant the Buddhist scriptures. The Buddhist scriptures.’

The Buddhist scriptures that Bertrand taught him and said to be effective in calming the mind.

‘Saek jeuk si gong, gong jeuk si saek.’

Saek jeuk…

Sae-saek…

Se-sex…

‘What is this crazy b*stard saying!’

T/N: The ‘saek’ in the Heart Sutra can also be read as ‘sex’ in Korean. ‘Saek jeuk si gong, gong jeuk si saek’ means ‘Form is void, and void is form.’

Kang Jin-ho swore at himself and once again tried to calm himself, but that was impossible.

He had suddenly remembered the bunny girl Yoo Hee he saw in his dream last night, perhaps because he closed his eyes.

‘Alexei, why? Why did I have that dream?’

After all, the contents of my dream must have been a product of my thoughts.

Does that mean that my subconscious wants it?

[He’s not wrong.]

Jude spoke with <Message> magic, having already been seated in the living room of Hong Yoo Hee with invisibility magic, and Cordelia, who was likewise invisible, nodded her head.

[Yes, but the real culprit is different.]

Last night.

When Hong Yoo Hee was thinking of buying clothes, or to be exact, when she was thinking of showing off her new clothes to Kang Jin-ho and had fallen asleep. And when Kang Jin-ho had also fallen asleep at that time from drunkenness.

Jude and Cordelia sat together and continued their heated discussion.

[I mean, don’t we need to try it at least once? Just once?]

[What more exactly do you want to do?]

Are you seriously going to use hypnosis?

Or mind control?

Cordelia shook her head at the questions of Jude.

[It’s a bit like that. Yet different. Okay? Just enough to steer them into it? To lightly push their backs?]

[Is it like… suggestions or reinforcement?]

[Suggestion? Reinforcement?]

[Yes, in order to increase his thoughts and longing for Hong Yoo Hee, we plant a story about her in his dreams or subconscious.]

[And you’ll plant Kang Jin-ho in me?]

[Not you, but Hong Yoo Hee.]

[We’re the same.]

[No, you’re different.]

As Jude spoke with a straight face, Cordelia wryly smiled as though she was dumbfounded before she spoke.

[Okay. We’re different. Moving on, are you saying that we plant suggestions in their dreams?]

[That is correct.]

[Hmm, then, should I go inside his dream? In his dream… hehehe?]

Cordelia mischievously laughed and Jude cleared his throat.

[You and I are not even succubus or incubus. In addition, our bodies are avatars, so there are some restrictions on magic, making it impossible to create a perfect dream, but… It’s true that Kang Jin-ho and Hong Yoo Hee desire each other. If we stimulate their subconscious a bit, we may succeed.]

[Can’t we just go into their dreams like before?]

[Huh?]

[I mean, I’ll go into Kang Jin-ho’s dream, and you go into Hong Yoo Hee’s dream… hehehe?]

As Cordelia mischievously laughed again, the eyes of Jude widened.

[Hey, wait. Are you telling me to seduce Hong Yoo Hee? And you’re going to seduce Kang Jin-ho?]

[Yes, yes. Because I’m Hong Yoo Hee and you’re Kang Jin-ho?]

[No way.]

[What?]

[Absolutely no way. No way. No way. NO. WAY.]

Jude himself was reluctant to even persuade Hong Yoo Hee by taking the form of Kang Jin-ho, and even more so when he thought of Cordelia turning into Hong Yoo Hee and seducing Kang Jin-ho.

He could never accept that.

But Cordelia frowned and asked him.

[What’s wrong with that? It’s us anyway, right?]

[No, we’re different. We split already. They are us, but not us. So no way.]

[You’re incredibly jealous.]

[Yes, I am very jealous. Incredibly jealous. So no way.]

When Jude spoke strongly again, Cordelia was dumbfounded, but found herself strangely delighted, so she smiled and nodded.

[Okay, I understand. Then let’s just encourage them. They’ll probably dream well on their own, right?]

[Yes.]

Jude quickly responded and began drawing a magic circle in a hurry, and Cordelia smiled again at his appearance.

And now.

Kang Jin-ho had dreamt of doing something with Hong Yoo Hee in a bunny girl outfit, and Hong Yoo Hee had dreamt of doing something with Kang Jin-ho in a suit, so the two were restless from recalling their vague dreams.

“O-Oppa?”

“Y-Yes. Miss Yoo Hee.”

“P-Please sit on the sofa.”

“O-Okay.”

In the living room.

Kang Jin-ho sat facing the large TV mounted on the wall, while Hong Yoo Hee began to take edible stuff from the kitchen.

She had talked about ramyeon, but was not in the mood to cook ramyeon now, so she just brought snacks and drinks.

‘S-Should we drink alcohol?’

At the sudden impulse, Hong Yoo Hee took  the beer cans her father had stocked up instead of the drinks they had. She filled the tray with food and awkwardly walked out.

And she was back in the living room.

Hong Yoo Hee put down the tray and briefly thought.

On how close should she sit to Kang Jin-ho.

‘Ueueue.’

In the end, Hong Yoo Hee chose a distance of 15 cm, which was not really much distant, and sat down.

And the remote control.

She turned on the TV, switched to Netflix, and began a movie.

But the content of the movie did not really enter her mind.

The movie was playing, but in the head of Hong Yoo Hee, a meeting was being held on a topic other than the movie.

“W-What should we do? What should we do from now on?”

When Raid Leader Hong Yoo Hee pulled her hair out and asked around, one Hong Yoo Hee raised her hand.

“Oh, do you have any suggestions?”

The Hong Yoo Hee who raised her hand stood up and said to Raid Leader Hong Yoo Hee with a firm look.

“Sex.”

“Huh?”

“Power sex. Super intense sex!”

“G-Get her out!”

It was a mistake.

She was Sex Parrot Hong Yoo Hee.

Why was the girl who only appeared when they exchanged sex jokes in the game making an appearance now?

Raid Leader Hong Yoo Hee fanned her hot face and looked around again.

And panicked again.

“W-Who are you?”

“Bunny girl. Oppa’s fetish.”

The newly born Bunny Girl Hong Yoo Hee said and told her to look that way, and Raid Leader Hong Yoo Hee looked around the sofa with the Hong Yoo Hee in reality.

‘W-Why is this here?’

The bunny ears headband. One of the symbols of a bunny girl.

Natasha-unnie bought it today, saying that I’ll use it later, but why is it in my bag? Why is it here? Why is it within my reach?

“Wear it.”

“Merge!”

“Transform!”

When the crew of Raid Leader Hong Yoo Hee shouted one after another, Raid Leader Hong Yoo Hee reached out in panic, so the Hong Yoo Hee in reality stretched out her hand with a face that could no longer turn even redder. She then put the bunny ears headband on her head.

As for Kang Jin-ho.

He was similarly having a heated discussion in his mind, but turned his head to the rustling sound next to him, and then froze without realizing it.

Or rather, he was almost paralyzed the moment he felt his heart throbbing.

Bunny Girl Hong Yoo Hee was in front of him.

The Bunny Girl Hong Yoo Hee whom he saw in his dream!

His face turned red in embarrassment, not knowing if it was from shyness or shame.

He could hear his breath leaking out from between his slightly open mouth.

The beating of his heart could be clearly heard, though he did not hear it.

Hong Yoo Hee also looked at Kang Jin-ho, perhaps because she felt his gaze.

Her breathing became rough as her face flushed red. Her heart pounded as she stared at his handsome face that was even more beautified because of her love filter. She could even imagine his firm chest and abs that she could not see.

Her face heated up.

The breathing of Kang Jin-ho grew rougher.

And it was at that moment.

“Haa♡~… Ah♡~…”

Kang Jin-ho and Hong Yoo Hee were startled by the sudden erotic moans, so they looked at the front and froze again.

Because a naked man and woman began kissing passionately on the screen.

‘W-What the? Was it this kind of movie?’

The kissing scene was unusual.

It was not just a brief kissing scene.

It was clearly the intro before the bed scene.

And Kang Jin-ho was able to think of something else.

‘Did the movie change?’

He did not properly watch the movie, but he was sure that it was a completely different movie from the first one they watched.

How did it happen?

When did the movie change?

“Haa♡~… Haah♡~…”

That did not matter.

They heard the moans again and the succeeding sound effects, that is, the chup-chup, mmhh, and so on.

And one more.

Their throats felt dry.

Kang Jin-ho and Hong Yoo Hee simultaneously grabbed a beer can and began to pour its contents into their mouths.

It was refreshing.

But their thirst was still there.

Perhaps it was the taste of beer. Or its efficacy. So they felt their thirst being strengthened.

The unique sensation of alcohol quickly dominated their entire bodies.

And now the screen was covered in the flesh color.

The sound effects continued.

They recalled the dreams they had last night.

The power of alcohol paralyzed their reason.

Gulp.

Just then, they heard the sound of someone gulping.

No one knew if it came from Kang Jin-ho or Hong Yoo Hee.

But at that sound, the two turned to each other.

Kang Jin-ho saw Hong Yoo Hee.

Hong Yoo Hee stared at Kang Jin-ho.

Jude and Cordelia, who had deliberate made the gulping sound, looked at the two with satisfied smiles.

[I’m sure it will happen.]

And history was made.

Kang Jin-ho and Hong Yoo Hee kissed each other.

The hand of Kang Jin-ho naturally settled on the waist of Hong Yoo Hee, and moved upwards little by little.

The hands of Hong Yoo Hee instinctively hugged Kang Jin-ho.

[Kyaaa!]

The delighted Cordelia covered her face with her hands while peeking through her fingers, and Jude coughed several times.

Even if they were the same as the two in front of them, it was too much for them to continue watching.

Furthermore.

‘I can no longer hold back.’

The series of steps to push Kang Jin-ho and Hong Yoo Hee also had a slight effect on Jude.

And one more person.

Cordelia bit her lip and pulled the sleeve of Jude who understood what she meant.

He impulsively held the waist of Cordelia and carried her in his arms.

Then Cordelia hugged the neck of Jude and had a faint smile.

[Night merge?]

Instead of answering, Jude smiled and left the house of Hong Yoo Hee.

***

And at dawn.

Jude and Cordelia stood on the roof railing instead of peeking at Kang Jin-ho and Hong Yoo Hee.

Cordelia spoke as she looked in the direction of the airport.

“As I thought, there’s something.”

Jude nodded at her words.

Kang Jin-ho had lost his sense of the battlefield over the past 6 years.

But Jude and Cordelia were different.

At the time when Natasha said goodbye and left.

Or rather, from the very beginning when she suddenly appeared after six years.

Cordelia realized with her beastly intuition that something was wrong.

Jude read the body language of Natasha and the situation hidden among the words she had used.

Why did Natasha come?

And why did she leave without saying anything else?

“Shall we go take care of this?”

At the words of Cordelia, Jude smiled and kissed her forehead.

“Thanks.”

“Well, she’s like Maja, right?”

For me, it’s like Dahlia.

Cordelia had a beautiful grin before she jumped on the back of Jude. And Jude tightly secured Cordelia in his back, creating black and golden gales afterwards.

“Let’s go.”

To solve the problem of Natasha.

For a perfect happy ending in this world too.

Jude and Cordelia viewed the same place.

With clear smiles, they ran through the darkness.
