## Chapter 120 – Room Assignments
Inside the car speeding down the highway as the sun rises.
I’m in the passenger seat next to Soyul, who’s gripping the steering wheel.
We open the window to let in the chilly dawn air, trying to wake up by chatting.
“Still, it’s a shame. It would’ve been great if Soyul could’ve hung out with us too.”
“Yeah, it’s a bummer. If I didn’t have work, I would’ve been playing with you guys.”
This car she’s driving is currently heading to Busan.
I express my regret to her, who’s driving the long distance from Seoul to Busan.
“But are you really okay? Driving for this long must be tiring.”
“It’s fine. If it were my original body, it might’ve been a bit tough.”
Originally, we were planning to take the bus to Busan, but
Soyul, the only one among us with a driver’s license, offered to give us a ride.
However, she’s only dropping us off in Busan,
and she has to go back to Seoul the next day because she has work.
“I wonder if Seohui has left by now?”
“Looking at the time, the bus should’ve departed.”
Soyul, who had been driving quietly, suddenly brings up Seohui.
In response to her question, I check the time on my wristwatch and tell her Seohui’s schedule.
Soyul’s small car couldn’t possibly fit our entire group.
Including the driver, it could barely squeeze in a maximum of five people…
So, the remaining members, Seohui and Nabi, decided to take the bus down in the early morning.
Which means the members currently in this car are…
“…They’re all sound asleep.”
Sua, Chaeyun, and Iran unni are all using each other’s shoulders as pillows and sleeping.
We decided to take them to Busan first.
But Seohui will probably arrive around lunchtime anyway…
“…Oh! We’re almost there?!”
“Whoa! What the heck, you’re already awake? Sleep a little more.”
Chaeyun suddenly jolts up and pops out between the passenger and driver seats like a little kid.
My heart almost dropped because of Chaeyun’s sudden appearance without a sound,
but Soyul just looks at Chaeyun through the rearview mirror and laughs as if it’s amusing.
Because Chaeyun, who had been sleeping with Sua and Iran on either side of her, pulled her body forward,
the two people who had been using her shoulders as pillows naturally woke up as well.
“…What, are we already there…?”
“Iran unni, you’re awake? Oh, Sua unni’s awake too.”
“…My head hurts.”
“Hahaha, we’re almost there, but we haven’t arrived yet.”
The inside of the car instantly becomes noisy as those who were asleep wake up.
Any driver would be a little annoyed, but Soyul just looks at them with a bright smile.
…Well, I guess she just sees them as her daughter’s peers, so they probably just look cute to her.
“So, Chanwoo, where should I drop you off?”
She turns to look at me, leaving the three people chattering noisily in the back seat.
“…Um, could you take us to Haeundae?”
“Alright.”
“…Then have fun~”
“Are you really going straight back up? At least have a meal before you go…”
“No, it’s okay. What would I do joining young people playing around? Hehe.”
Soyul parks the car in front of a hotel that looks big and expensive at a glance.
And Chaeyun, perhaps feeling a little sorry for her, suggests that she at least have breakfast with us.
But Soyul playfully smiles and waves goodbye to us.
“…Im Chanwoo, I took out all the luggage.”
“Ah, okay.”
Sua takes out each of our suitcases from the trunk and approaches me, wiping the sweat from her forehead.
I pat her head to thank her for her hard work, and she blushes.
Soyul, after confirming that all the luggage has been taken out, gives us one last greeting,
“Take good care of Seohui.”
She says, rolls up the window, and drives away from the hotel.
“…It’s a shame, I wish she could’ve played with us.”
“What can you do? Adults are busy.”
“Sua unni is an adult, but why isn’t she always busy?”
“…”
“…Just kidding.”
While Chaeyun, who’s been playful since getting out of the car, is teasing Sua,
Iran nuna and I look up at the hotel building once again, leaving the two of them behind.
The red sun, just rising, is reflected in the glass of the large building.
Even in the early morning, hotel staff wearing expensive-looking clothes are moving busily.
And at the entrance of the still relatively dark building, luxurious-looking lights are turned on…
“…No matter how I look at it, this place looks really expensive, right?”
“…Yes, it does.”
Iran nuna, who had been scanning the building here and there, speaks first.
As she said, it’s as if you can feel the price just by looking at it…
Of course, there’s no problem at all in terms of finances. Because there’s money that Chaeyun and Seohui have earned…
But it’s a place to stay for a week, so isn’t it a bit too extravagant?
“…Did you book this place?”
“…No, Chaeyun did…”
At the end of my words, nuna and I turn to look at Chaeyun almost simultaneously.
“Unni did wrong.”
“…”
She’s still playing around with Sua.
The moment I told Chaeyun about the plan to go to Busan yesterday,
she started getting excited to the point of being surprised, saying she would make the travel plans,
and she even took Iran nuna, who was at home, to go shopping a lot.
It seems she was quite tired of her life pattern, which was all about home and school.
Seeing her so happy made me feel good, so I let her do whatever she wanted…
“Chanwoo, wanna bet how much it costs here per day?”
“…I’ll say 40.”
“I’ll say 60.”
And so, nuna and I’s little bet began.
“What are you doing? Let’s go in quickly!”
Chaeyun, who’s just excited unlike us, drags her suitcase and disappears into the hotel past us.
Sua, who’s tired from chasing Chaeyun, looks at me and then stands next to me with her suitcase.
“…I’m sorry.”
“No, let’s just go in for now.”
I appease Sua, who’s blushing and lowering her head as if she’s embarrassed for running around like a child,
and I push Iran nuna, who’s stretching, on the back and follow Chaeyun into the hotel.
Passing through a revolving door that’s somehow sparkling, we enter the hotel lobby,
and above our heads, there’s a glass decoration that splits the light pouring from the ceiling into several strands.
Overall, a wide marble hallway that exudes a luxurious atmosphere continued.
“…I’m changing my bet, to 70.”
“…No take-backs.”
Lee Chaeyun, what on earth is she thinking… Even if she has a lot of money.
If we spend a week here, it seems like it’ll cost almost over 100…
…No, it’s the first time we’ve come on a trip like this, so let’s let her enjoy it a bit.
I’ll just tell her later that a place this extravagant isn’t necessary next time.
I decide to understand her, thinking about how excited she must have been.
Come to think of it, I’ve been too indifferent, especially to Chaeyun, whom I met for the first time.
Of course, it’s not a trip that’s all about enjoying, but a trip with another purpose.
Let’s grant them everything they want, at least for today.
“…Ah, Chaeyun’s over there. Is she checking in?”
“Probably, let’s go.”
We approach Chaeyun, who’s talking to the staff at the counter in the corner of the lobby.
She’s faster than anyone at things like that…
“Hey, Chaey…”
“Ah, Oppa♡”
“…T, th…♡ Chaeyun, -nim…♡ Agh!♡ S, Suite rooms…♡ 3, for 6 nights… Is that correct…?♡”
“Yes, please do that♡”
As I get closer to Chaeyun, the state of the employee visible over her shoulder was strange.
Her pronunciation keeps slurring, she’s drooling from the corners of her mouth, and her pupils can’t stay still.
I’ve seen a lot of humans showing this kind of reaction, so I could tell.
“Did you use your tentacles again?”
“…Ehehe, how else would we stay in such an expensive hotel without paying? Right? Staff unni?♡”
“Y, Yes…!♡ Th, That’s right…♡ H, Here are!!♡ Th, The room key cards…
If you have any inconveniences, or… need anything… Hiccup!♡ Please call us anytime…♡”
The employee is looking at Chaeyun with a flushed face.
Something is dripping from between her skirt, that is, between her legs,
and the sound of it hitting the floor echoes quietly.
“…Yes, thank you♡”
Chaeyun, who took out her tentacles so that others couldn’t see and stirred the employee’s head.
Whether the brainwashing was completely finished, the employee, who had been stuttering, no longer stutters at the end.
Chaeyun, smiling at the employee, puts the tentacles back into her mouth so that no one can see again.
“Okay! Let’s go then!”
“…I’ll take your luggage…♡”
“Ah, please do.”
The state of the employees receiving our suitcases also seemed a little strange one by one.
In such a short time, all these people…?
“…Hmm? Hehe…♡”
She smiles bashfully when she makes eye contact with me, who’s looking down in embarrassment.
…Really, even if she’s adapting to human life, isn’t she overdoing it too much…?
“Okay, so I rented three suite rooms. But there’s one important thing.”
“…What is it?”
“I’m not interested…”
“Suite rooms are for two people per room.”
Out of the three rooms, we pick one and sit down in a row.
Chaeyun, who I thought would be the most excited and would go around looking at every corner of the room first.
But as soon as she entered the room, she called us together and started talking.
Suite rooms are for two people per room? What does that even…
“…”
Iran, who had been uninterested and indifferent, and Sua, who had been staring intently at Chaeyun, both have a light in their eyes.
…It seems like I’m the only one who doesn’t care.
“…Okay, let’s decide who will share a room with oppa and assign the rooms.”
