## Chapter 25 – Factions
My initial plan was to take only Kim Yeon-ju and the homeroom teacher to set up a separate household.
But somehow, two more freeloaders ended up joining us.
‘Well, whatever.’
Kim Yeon-ju would feel more at ease with a companion by her side.
And with more people, we could divide the labor.
‘I wanted to leave Science to be bullied more by the kids…’
No choice. I’ll just have to keep her by my side and bully her myself.
Science flinched, feeling my gaze. She lowered her head and fiddled with her empty water bottle.
Both Park So-young and Science had emptied the water I gave them on the spot. Very cleanly, too.
It was a clear indication of how much they had been suffering from thirst.
‘At least as long as I have the water, they won’t be able to rebel.’
The intense heat and the island’s harsh environment were engraving the value of water into their very bones.
And I, who could provide that water infinitely, was the absolute power here.
‘Even if this place is another world, and they can awaken, and they find out I have a shop ability, they can’t do anything to me.’
Rather, once they know my abilities, they’re likely to cooperate actively.
It’s not like they’ve never tasted civilization before; they were enjoying it to the fullest until just a few days ago.
To them, I was already irreplaceable.
‘I’ll recreate the things the haves did on Earth here. No, I’ll enjoy it even more than them.’
As I was resolving myself, a lantern light approached from one side.
I thought it would be Math, and it really was. But there was another person behind him.
“Huh? Senior Lee Jae-hoon?”
Park So-young recognized him and called his name.
He was the male flight attendant who had disappeared last night.
Confirming that he was a colleague, Park So-young jumped up from her seat and ran to him, hitting his arm relentlessly.
“Where the heck! Did you go! And now you show up! Do you know how much we suffered working your share?!”
“Ow! H-hold on. So-young. S-stop hitting me! That’s not what’s important!”
“Then what is important? Huh?!”
After hitting his arms and back with her palms for a while, Lee Jae-hoon dodged Park So-young’s glaring eyes and said as he ran away.
“L-listen. I found drinking water.”
“Huh? What did you say?”
“There’s a place on this island where water comes out!”
“!!”
***
People’s eyes widened as they focused on him.
A heavy silence fell for a while at the incredibly surprising news.
“R-really?”
“Of course!”
Unable to live like this any longer, he had walked along the coast yesterday afternoon and soon found the point where a huge rocky mountain began, and he saw water flowing down from there.
“You’re not seeing things, are you, Senior?”
“You don’t believe me?”
“You’ve been hit a lot lately, and you even fainted from shock. You’re in an unstable mental state.”
People nodded in agreement.
In this wilderness, there was no more dangerous action than following the judgment of someone who was mentally unstable.
But Lee Jae-hoon said confidently.
“Come with me. I’ll show you myself.”
We followed him with a mixture of doubt and anticipation. He walked straight along the coast.
“Senior, are you sure this is the right way?”
“I’m telling you, it is.”
“But this is the path we searched on the first day.”
The path was the opposite of where I had searched. But everyone except me seemed to have been there before, and they questioned Lee Jae-hoon’s guidance.
“We only searched for about 2 hours then and turned back. You have to go much further than that.”
“How much further?”
“About 5 hours from here?”
I stopped walking abruptly.
“Then you guys go ahead.”
“Huh? Woojin, where are you going?”
Park So-young asked on behalf of everyone, and they all looked puzzled.
“Why don’t you just come with us? Lee Jae-hoon’s words are a bit unreliable, but if what he says is true, this is an opportunity.”
“Unreliable? Ugh. I really can’t prove it any other way!”
Lee Jae-hoon, who had been frustratedly complaining to himself, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and his eyes lit up.
He took something out of his pocket. It was a smartphone.
“Here, look. See? There really is water!”
First, a photo. Then, a video.
The smartphone showed a rocky mountain.
It wasn’t as high as the cliff I had seen on the first day, but it was still towering. About 7-8 stories high.
And a very small stream of water was falling from that rock.
A thin stream of water flowed down between the large rocks, trickling along the bedrock.
“I-it’s really water? Is it safe to drink, Senior?”
“I already drank it yesterday. No problems so far.”
People’s faces brightened at that answer.
“Wow!”
People hugged each other and jumped around excitedly.
They were dancing and making a fuss.
Perhaps it was because they had suffered so much from the water shortage recently.
“Oh my. That’s wonderful!”
The homeroom teacher clapped her hands, delighted at the sight of people jumping around like children.
‘Well, it’s not strange that there’s freshwater.’
In fact, I was certain that there would be freshwater somewhere on the island.
After all, hadn’t it appeared in the main quest? The mission to find water.
In other words, the system was subtly telling us that there was drinking water around us.
‘Of course, I have to check if that water is the same water.’
I smiled as I watched the people gathered in front of the smartphone, enthusiastically looking at the falling stream of water.
‘More than that, the situation is getting a little interesting.’
Sure enough, Park So-young shouted.
“Let’s just ditch them and go! Let them fend for themselves with the remaining water, and we’ll go live here!”
I knew it would turn out like this.
I thought that as long as the kids had water, the teachers and flight attendants wouldn’t be able to escape from under them.
That they would work like slaves, and the kids would reign over them in a system that would last for a long time.
But looking at the current atmosphere, it seemed like it was about to collapse right away.
‘With this, the group will definitely be split. Into at least 3 pieces.’
As soon as Park So-young suggested ditching them, people around her responded in agreement.
“Let’s do it! Let’s live separately from the kids!”
“Good idea. I wanted to get out of there anyway. The boys there seemed like they were about to cause trouble.”
People gathered their opinions to do so.
“Woojin, what about you?”
The homeroom teacher asked me. In simple terms, she was asking if I would like to live here with them.
People’s eyes also turned to me.
“Hey. You should just come with us.”
I thought for a moment and shook my head.
“No. I’ll move separately.”
Moving with them wouldn’t be bad.
As I said before, with more people, we could divide the work, and it would be easier to respond to various unexpected problems.
Especially in this Stone Age level where civilization hasn’t been established, the number of people is power.
But I shook my head.
‘I have to protect what’s mine.’
There are currently two men on that side. One of them is a young and sturdy flight attendant.
There was no way they would just watch me have a relationship with a woman. There would definitely be problems in some way.
‘In our group, one man is enough.’
“Are you out of your mind? How are you going to survive in this wilderness without water?”
Water, huh. I smiled faintly.
“I’ll take care of myself. If we’re meant to meet again, we’ll meet again.”
“Ms. Lee Su-jeong. Then at least you come.”
Math reached out to the homeroom teacher, but the homeroom teacher held my hand tightly.
As expected, the homeroom teacher was on my side.
I held the homeroom teacher’s hand and looked at the other two women. Park So-young and Science. They were wavering between the two choices.
After much deliberation, Science went to the other side. I wasn’t surprised because it was a somewhat expected result.
‘There’s something wrong if she still follows me after what happened.’
Our gaze naturally turned to the remaining one.
Park So-young looked back and forth between our side and the other side and made her choice. The result was a bit unexpected.
‘The other side, huh.’
Park So-young went to the other side.
I thought she would choose our side because she showed us kindness in the middle, but she didn’t.
Only after confirming that the two people had gone to the other side, I was able to realize one thing.
‘People move according to their desires, but thorough calculations also follow.’
In other words, rather than giving me her butt every day and serving me with her tongue to get water, she’s just calculating that she’ll drink water comfortably.
It was a reasonable judgment, so I nodded and respected their choice.
“Woojin, I’m sorry.”
Park So-young apologized, and I shook my head.
Whatever calculations they went through, the choice is theirs.
And the fact that those two people are leaving wasn’t entirely a loss for me.
‘Thanks to them, I have some leeway.’
Assuming that each person drinks 2L of water, if all the women follow me, our group will have a total of five people, so the conclusion is that we need 5,000 cash a day.
Even now, it’s on sale for 1,000 won each, but the price of water could go up further after the sale ends.
In simple terms, the maintenance cost is no joke.
‘But they’re leaving on their own, so they’re solving a problem that I’ve been suffering from.’
I bowed my head deeply with a happy heart.
“Then take care of yourselves.”
And as I raised my head, a look of regret passed over Park So-young and Science’s faces.
Perhaps they wanted me to stop them from leaving.
Or they wanted me to ease the conditions for giving water, or to guarantee better treatment and negotiate.
Whatever it was, it was already done, so I turned my body away without hesitation.
The homeroom teacher followed closely beside me without hesitation.
“Ah…”
Someone’s small sigh brushed past my ear, and I hurried to where the kids were.
There wasn’t much time left than I thought.
***
“What time is it now?”
I asked, looking at the still dark sky. The homeroom teacher panted beside me and answered.
“It’s 3:47 AM.”
Time was tight. At this rate, we were going to be late.
According to the original plan, we would have been relaxed, but the time was delayed because I took the virginity of the bride-to-be and gave Science a proper education on her mouth in the middle.
On top of that, the male flight attendant showed us the water and told us to follow him, so even though we came back in the middle, we wasted a lot of time.
“Ms. can you run?”
I was about to ask, but I closed my mouth again.
The homeroom teacher was sweating profusely and barely keeping up with me at a fast pace.
‘It’s already the limit.’
Even if she was in good condition, the homeroom teacher I knew couldn’t run.
There are often women like that.
The kind whose running itself is clumsy, as if they’ve never run in their entire lives.
The homeroom teacher was that type.
‘Soon the light of dawn will begin to clear the darkness.’
It was definitely a tight time to walk back.
I made a decision.
“Please wait here, Teacher. I’ll go alone.”
“Huk. Huk. A… Alone?”
“Yes. I’ll go alone. Can you wait here until then?”
The homeroom teacher nodded.
“Yes, I’ll wait. Don’t worry and go.”
“I’ll definitely come back, so don’t go anywhere and hide in the bushes. But don’t go too close. There are snakes.”
I watched the homeroom teacher sit on the floor to catch her breath and immediately kicked off the ground and ran straight ahead.
And fortunately, I was able to arrive without being late.
Snoooore-
The kids were lost in deep dreams.
I was worried that there might be kids awake, so I went into the shallow water, lay down, and slowly moved to the plane.
And I carefully knocked on the door.
Knock knock.
“Who is it?”
“It’s your master.”
Squeak- The cockpit opened, and Kim Yeon-ju came out with chopsticks in her hand. Soon, she recognized my face and ran to hug me tightly.
“Master!”
“Was everything okay the day before?”
“Nothing was okay. As you said yesterday, I locked the door and protested, but they really came all the way to the front and caused a ruckus, you know?”
I knew it. There’s no way those greedy kids would be satisfied with just one woman.
“But what are the metal chopsticks in your hand?”
“For self-defense? Should I say it’s a weapon to protect my chastity?”
…That’s quite brutal.
“Good job.”
“Really? Then can I suck your dick?”
I pushed away Kim Yeon-ju, who was clinging to my crotch, and went into the cockpit. Then, I quickly looked at the location and movements of the kids.
‘Are they all sleeping?’
But at that moment, someone suddenly got up from their seat.
It was Kang Hye-rin.
She suddenly stretched and looked around. She moved her feet, looked at the forest, and sat down cross-legged.
‘Is she… Ha. Is she doing that because she’s waiting for me?’
It was extremely devoted. It was really creepy.
What kind of kid is that?
And at that moment, I also saw Park Ji-min.
Park Ji-min glanced at the seat where Kang Hye-rin was sleeping, and after confirming that she was gone, she also got up from her seat.
Then, she looked around Kang Hye-rin.
Peeking peeking. Gloomy-
Park Ji-min drooped her shoulders and went back to her seat and lay down.
After that, she couldn’t sleep and kept tossing and turning.
“……”
Park Ji-min.
The empress of the entertainment industry leading K-pop.
What am I to her now? Is she really thinking of me as a groom, like she said last time?
I was bothered by the fact that she kept tossing and turning and glancing at Kang Hye-rin, so I thought about taking Park Ji-min with me now, but I gave up again after seeing Kim Tae-hoon staring at her.
‘Not yet. Not yet.’
I want to pick her up, but not now.
The risk was too great.
‘Wait a little longer, Ji-min. I’ll come back to pick you up too.’
***
“So who are the people in your group, Master?”
Kim Yeon-ju asked me as we walked on the sandy beach. I felt the brightening morning sun and moved my feet busily.
“You’ll know when you get there.”
“Don’t do that, tell me. Huh? I’ve only been waiting my whole life, so I like to hear answers right away.”
Her personality must have changed.
The pure, innocent, and quiet Kim Yeon-ju was gone. There was a chattering chatterbox, though.
“It’s our homeroom teacher.”
“Huh? The one who looks so innocent and pretty! Is that person your partner? The one you said would always give you her pussy?”
“……”
“Master, are you listening to me?”
“Go and ask her yourself.”
“How much longer until we arrive?”
“We’re almost there.”
“You’ve said that 18 times already.”
“It’s true. We were supposed to meet over there… but…”
“But?”
Kim Yeon-ju tilted her head, coming into my view, asking why I stopped talking.
I pushed her face away and ran to the homeroom teacher.
“Teacher?”
“Oh? You’re here, Woojin?”
“Ah, yes. But where are they…”
I looked at the homeroom teacher’s legs.
There were two girls who looked exactly alike, as if they were looking in a mirror.
Shin Yu-ri and Shin Ye-jin.
While I was away for a while, the twins were using the homeroom teacher’s thighs as pillows, one on each side, and sleeping comfortably.
‘Where did these kids come from?’
No, that’s not important.
I asked the homeroom teacher.
“Can you get up without waking the kids?”
“Uh-huh. They’re sleeping deeply, so it’s okay.”
In fact, even when the homeroom teacher raised her head, the twins didn’t wake up and slept soundly.
Kim Yeon-ju came to the side and said, amazed.
“Wow. Look how cute they are when they sleep. Master, I want to have kids like the second one.”
As I said before, they are mixed-race and their beauty is crazy. If you only look at their faces, they are enough to fight with Yoo Hana for the goddess position.
“But why are they here?”
“That’s…”
According to the homeroom teacher, it was like this.
After separating from me, the homeroom teacher was resting alone on the sandy beach when they suddenly appeared from behind.
“They must have followed us all night.”
“All night?”
“Yeah. Doesn’t anything come to mind? The kids said that if they followed you, they could eat delicious things and have fun, so they followed you all day.”
“……”
So that’s why they kept circling around me?
To eat strawberries and play with me?
I put my hand on my forehead.
‘I thought they were distracted by the ball, but it turns out they were distracted by me.’
It was a complete misjudgment.
How could I not have deduced that simple thing?
My brain must have been very mushy from the heat. Or maybe I was too busy jacking off to think straight.
“Woojin. The kids are asking me to take them with us.”
“Let’s just abandon them here.”
What do you mean take them with us? If we take them with us now, they’ll be masters.
We’ll have to play with them, bring them food, and waste all our time cleaning up after them.
“B-but if we don’t take them, they said they’ll tell Jae-joon everything?”
“……”
I clenched my fist and trembled.
I really want to flick them on the forehead, those little rascals.
Honestly, they are pretty, shy, and cute, but they don’t just look pretty to me.
Anyway, they have a lot of things that have accumulated over the past 3 years, whether they know it or not.
‘But there’s no other choice, so I guess I have no choice.’
Let’s think positively.
I’m going to fuck them anyway, and more than anything, if I take them with me, I can cover up the Park Ji-min thing for a while.
“Hoo. I have no choice. Let’s take them with us.”
I carried one of the twins on my back.
They must have been sleeping so deeply that they didn’t wake up even when I carried them.
‘That’s right, they’re really pretty. Their sleeping faces might be prettier than Yoo Hana’s.’
“Ah. I’ll carry one, Master!”
Kim Yeon-ju carried one of the remaining twins with the help of the homeroom teacher.
And so we headed to the center of the island.
To find a new home, to find a place to start a new life.
