## Chapter 56 – Awakened
‘Of all people, it had to be Han Ji-won.’
Having spent three years together, there were students I knew well, but conversely, there were also students I still didn’t quite understand even after three years.
The prime examples were Seo Hee and Han Ji-won.
Both were quiet and diligently slept during class.
They had limited social skills and acted alone.
Especially Han Ji-won, in my memories from our school days, was even more peculiar than Jung Seo-hee, always dozing off inside a sleeping bag as if possessed by a silkworm pupa.
For most of the 365 days a year.
If there was a minor change, it was that the type of sleeping bag changed according to the season.
‘A strange kid indeed. Yet, she always gets perfect scores on exams.’
In summary, this is what I can say about her:
Han Ji-won.
Granddaughter of the chairman of a major corporation.
Specialty: Rolling around in a sleeping bag.
Note: She is quite intelligent.
“You shouldn’t think about doing anything dangerous. I have a loud voice. If I shout, everyone will come.”
As I took a step closer, Han Ji-won, with her half-open, sleepy eyes, warned me while being wary.
I stopped in my tracks and asked.
“When did you awaken?”
“The third day after landing here.”
That fast?
I was a bit surprised. If that was true, it meant there were only two days between us.
“Anyone else awakened?”
She shook her head.
Well, who would know about a status window? There are more stimulating and interesting things around them than web novels or comics.
“How did you know I awakened?”
“Because you were the first to dig up lilies and the first to find coconuts.”
True. In a way, it’s a simple story.
But this made it clear. The main quest I received and the main quest Han Ji-won received are the same.
Having satisfied my curiosity, I got to the point.
“So, what’s your business?”
If she waited for me here long enough to leave red marks on her cheek from her clothes, she must have something to say to me.
To my question, Han Ji-won yawned widely and answered.
“Have you finished preparing for the typhoon? Let me join you. Then I’ll keep my mouth shut.”
“Keep your mouth shut about what?”
“The people you’re with. They don’t know about the status window yet. Or the quests, and that you have to complete the quests to return to the original world.”
“…….”
“I met Jung Seo-hee a while ago and hinted at it, but she didn’t understand.”
Han Ji-won leaned against a palm tree and smiled.
“I’ll keep it a secret that you knew this fact and hid it all along.”
Haha, interesting. I didn’t expect to be threatened like this.
“That’s troublesome, isn’t it?”
Han Ji-won was right.
I hid the status window from my group. The reason was simple. I didn’t want them to return to Earth.
I wanted to reign over them like a king here, and for that, not a single one of them could leave.
But what if my companions found out that I had been hiding the secret of the status window until now?
“Everyone’s trust in you will drop.”
“…….”
“Don’t worry. This is a deal. You help me survive this typhoon, and after that, you help me complete my main quest. You also provide me with food every day and exempt me from all work. If you do that, I will never reveal anything about the status window.”
Han Ji-won spread her arms wide.
“And you should cooperate with me too. If you let me leave this place, there will be no one else who knows about the existence of the status window. It’s a win-win.”
Certainly, if only Han Ji-won left, I might be able to prevent the secret of the status window from surfacing.
If I only let her go.
“What do you think? Are you willing to make a deal?”
Han Ji-won smiled even more brightly than before. As if I had no choice.
She seemed to have come prepared with a very convincing argument, and the surrounding environment was not favorable to me.
I could hear the footsteps of children coming and going outside the forest.
“What’s there to hesitate about? Decide quickly. I’m sleepy and want to go to bed soon.”
“…….”
“Or should I give you a little demonstration? Should I tell Seo-hee that you hid the status window information? What kind of reaction would she have?”
As a rule, a deal should involve negotiation, but this was a final ultimatum from the start.
She was pushing me unilaterally, not giving me any time to think.
‘Blackmail, huh?’
But I laughed. Heh heh. I tried to suppress the laughter that was leaking from my mouth.
“Huh? Why are you laughing all of a sudden…?”
“Ah, sorry. I just never thought anyone would come at me like this.”
“…Can I take that as a yes?”
Was it because the atmosphere was strange? Han Ji-won cautiously looked at me and asked. I nodded.
“Do as you please.”
“Then hug me.”
Han Ji-won, who spent most of her time in a sleeping bag, also ate in her sleeping bag, so I always had to carry Han Ji-won in a ‘princess carry’ to the cafeteria during lunch and dinner.
Carrying her to the cafeteria in the next building, and after she finished eating, carrying her back to the classroom or dormitory entrance.
And if there was a moving class, I would carry her again.
If Kang Hye-rin built up my stamina throughout my school days, Han Ji-won was my benefactor (?) who built up my strength.
“Hurry up and hug me. I’m sleepy and need to go to bed right away.”
And now she was asking me to carry her in a princess carry to my settlement. She said she would sleep during that time.
‘I thought Park Ji-min was the only one who didn’t change even when the class atmosphere changed, but she’s still the same.’
Coming out of my old memories, I said quietly.
“I don’t want to.”
“Huh? What did you just say?”
“I said I don’t want to. Why should I?”
As if she didn’t understand the flow of the conversation, Han Ji-won blinked a few times.
With a slightly awakened face, she asked me again.
“We just made a deal. I’ll keep the secret, and you’ll….”
“When did I? I told you to blackmail me if you wanted to.”
“What?”
“If you want to shout and gather the kids, do it. If you want to go to Seo-hee and talk about the status window, do it. Do whatever you want, Ji-won.”
“!!”
If she shouted, I could just run away into the forest.
Anyway, the kids in the class valued their lives more than anything else, so even though they knew there were no snakes at night, they didn’t even go near the inside of the forest, just in case.
Going to Seo-hee and talking was even less of a threat.
Right now, Jung Seo-hee has 100% trust in me. She was at a level where she twisted and interpreted everything I did in a positive way.
But was it just Jung Seo-hee who was like that?
‘It’s not for nothing that I put in the effort to win over the five girls in the settlement early on.’
Those five are the founding contributors and pillars that firmly support my absolute throne.
Even if they find out about the existence of the status window, their affection for me will not change.
‘Even if they don’t have affection, I have the shop window. This is a truly absolute ability that will make even all those possibilities kneel.’
In that situation, she was making such a ridiculous threat.
I moved the steps I had stopped. Han Ji-won stepped back.
“Don’t come. I’ll shout if you come.”
“Shout or don’t shout.”
“I’m telling you, I’ll shout…!”
Even though she threatened, Han Ji-won couldn’t shout in the end.
Why? Because if something went wrong with me here, her plan would be greatly disrupted.
In the end, the fact that she expressed her intention to defect to me, not the other kids, meant that my potential alone was greater than all the other kids combined.
In other words, she moved to blackmail me, but conversely, she ended up giving me a pretext to blackmail her.
“…Don’t come.”
Han Ji-won stepped back.
Her eyes widened as she woke up.
Her eyelids trembled.
And her face was tense.
“Ugh.”
When I arrived right in front of her, Han Ji-won protected her head with her hands and crouched down.
She trembled, her head bowed.
She must have thought I was going to hit her.
Sorry, but I didn’t have time for that. I quickly passed by Han Ji-won.
“Huh?”
As I passed by her and quickly moved my feet, Han Ji-won followed and grabbed my clothes.
“Wait.”
“?”
“You can’t leave me alone. How do you know what I’ll do? Why aren’t you trying to silence me?”
I shrugged.
“Because you’re not worth it?”
“What?”
“Anyway, my group won’t be swayed by your words.”
“…It’s not just your group. Weren’t you trying to take revenge on us? What if I tell the other kids the secret of the status window and they all escape and run away?”
“Escape?”
I laughed.
What kind of escape would those who were afraid of the forest and couldn’t even go to get coconuts do?
It didn’t make sense.
Above all, I’m currently on my 10th main quest, but it’s hard to complete without equipment.
+
[Survive on a Deserted Island 10]
Description: Catch mackerel over 40cm. (0/20)
Reward: 10 points
+
40cm is too big to catch by hand, and you need to cast a fishing rod to catch them.
It was only the 10th quest, but the difficulty was like this.
‘Maybe they’ll ask me to catch tuna or something later.’
But they’re going to gather together, complete all the main quests, and escape?
I wasn’t worried at all.
They were already fish trapped in a fish tank. If anything, I was worried that they might die before I even laid a hand on them.
“And Ji-won, there’s something you’re misunderstanding. I have no intention of taking revenge on you.”
“Huh? That can’t be.”
“Then see you later.”
As I moved my feet without any regrets, Han Ji-won rolled her eyes.
“T, that can’t be?”
As if she couldn’t understand my actions no matter how much she thought about it, Han Ji-won muttered from behind.
“You don’t even want to take revenge? You don’t care if I reveal the secret?”
When the distance had widened considerably, the muttering disappeared and instead, footsteps quickly approached.
Han Ji-won ran and stood in my way again.
Her face was still full of the energy that she couldn’t understand me.
“Then, what can I do to get you to accept my offer?”
“I’m not going to accept it.”
“…You’re lying, right?”
Han Ji-won looked at my expression for a moment and soon made a face as if she was tired of it.
As I moved my feet again, she followed me and said.
“T, then what can I do to get you to take me with you?”
“I told you I’m not taking you.”
“Can’t you just take me with you?”
“I’m not taking you.”
“Please take me with you, please.”
The negotiation that started with blackmail had now turned into a request.
The situation had completely reversed.
But I swear, I never aimed for this situation, and I had no intention of playing push and pull with her.
I was busy right now.
Of course, Han Ji-won was someone I had to seduce and win over someday, but was that the problem now?
A typhoon was coming, and if I wasn’t prepared, I would die.
I ignored Han Ji-won and walked.
Was it because she was so upset by the repeated rejections? Or was it because she was stubborn?
“Even if you’re not interested in revenge, you’ll be interested in this. If you’re a man.”
Han Ji-won stood in front of me.
Han Ji-won was naked.
I don’t know how a girl who rolls around in a sleeping bag has so little fat and even has abs on her stomach, but her body was quite pretty.
However, her breasts were a bit unique.
Her breasts were Big Pie. She had a cute face, but she had Big Pie breasts like a married woman.
“If you take me with you, you can do it once. For your information, I’m a virgin, no experience.”
Her face was full of confidence that this offer would work.
So I told her.
“Yeah, do whatever you want.”
“Huh? W, wait. Please, please. Take me with you. I’m so sleepy. I’ll be in trouble without you….”
No way. If I took care of her here, it would be like carrying a 40kg bag of rice back.
‘I already wasted too much time stealing the fish that the other kids caught. I need to hurry back.’
I ignored her and sped up.
Then Han Ji-won clung to my back.
“Hey, get off.”
“No.”
I could feel the squishiness of her breasts on my back. The pressure was no joke, as if the weight of her breasts was considerable.
‘Damn it. My dick keeps getting hard.’
I tried to get her off, but she was surprisingly strong and it wasn’t easy.
Not only her arms but also her legs were wrapped around my waist, so there was really no answer.
‘I can’t just fall backward like this.’
After struggling a few times, the unique smell of a woman came to my nose, and my dick became even harder.
In the end, I had no choice but to use extreme measures.
I bought an item from the store and threw it on the floor.
“!!”
It was a sleeping bag. A summer sleeping bag.
Han Ji-won, who had a brief look of joy on her face, quickly came to her senses and clung to me again as if there was no way.
“Fool. Even if I like sleeping bags, do you think I’d go inside that when it’s this hot?”
I bought cold water and put it on Han Ji-won’s cheek.
“Hueet?”
After that, I put it inside the sleeping bag.
“…….”
In the end, Han Ji-won went inside.
“Then see you later.”
“W, wait! Take me with you! Are you listening to me?”
Han Ji-won hugged the water bottle in the sleeping bag and shouted at me.
Whether she did or not, I ignored her and quickly returned the way I came, following the sign.
