Chapter 179 – Favorite Child (19)
One day.
Seojun once hinted at her child.
-Kid. What do you think if I become friends with other girls?
She smiled brightly at that question.
-Huh! It doesn’t matter as long as Jun is happy. Because Jun’s happiness is also my happiness!
-Even if Ruby and Aqua are included?
-Uhm──.
The child rested her chin.
Then I closed my eyes and thought deeply.
Soon she opened her eyes.
-Well, whatever! Ruby and Aqua also like Jun, and I also like them both. It’s better for the whole family to be happy.
The child didn’t seem to care much.
What can I say?
It was truly simple.
‘But I like that.’
The child’s charm included those aspects.
After finishing her recollection, Seojun shook his head.
‘I have already received permission from the royal family.’
There is nothing to be concerned about.
Still, there was one problem.
‘It doesn’t get a very positive look from the public.’
But whatever.
He is the only crown prince who will inherit the empire called Shinhwa Group, so who can be dissatisfied?
‘The first batter has already been decided.’
Hoshino Ruby and Hoshino Aqua.
Those are the two.
To be honest.
Seojun expected that it would not be easy to attack the two twins.
At best, they might feel good about him as a father, and even if they say they truly like Seojun──.
‘Because in the end there is a wall between us.’
And a very strong wall called family.
Since these two had the title of reincarnation, I thought they would pay attention to that.
However,
‘Huh? ‘They don’t really care about things like that, do they?’
We stayed together and observed his condition.
Then I realized that the twins liked Seojun more than he thought and that they didn’t really care about what the public thought.
‘The temptation is becoming more and more blatant, but you’re an idiot for not noticing this.’
I thought it was Father Comb.
It seemed like he genuinely liked him as the opposite sex.
‘Hmm.’
Originally, I acted in a way that was calculated to make me feel that way, but when it actually happened, I felt something complicated.
Seojun shook his head to shake off that feeling.
‘No way. Are you okay? All we need is to be happy with each other. I haven’t committed a particularly serious crime.’
When I thought that way, I felt much more at ease.
Seojun took the first step to truly attack.
***
A morning like any other.
Seojun smiled bitterly as he saw the twins hiding in the bed again.
It was a routine to wake them up and receive a morning kiss on the cheek, but this time it was a little different.
“Side.”
Two lips colliding.
Ruby’s pupils were greatly dilated.
This is because Seojun pretended to stick out his cheek, then turned his head and received a kiss on the lips.
“Papa, papa?”
Ruby is embarrassed.
Seojun smiled and stroked her head.
“You didn’t like it?”
“… Ugh. Not at all.”
Ruby’s face was very red, like her eyes.
Seojun spoke kindly.
“From now on, let’s say good morning like this. Of course, if you don’t like Ruby, she’s fine as is.”
“… I’m fine.”
As the two of us were talking like that, I felt heated gazes.
I glanced and saw Aqua looking at Seojun with an expression of hope.
Seojun smiled and tapped his lips.
“Aqua.”
“…”
Hesitantly.
Aqua approached him carefully and kissed her bird.
Side!
“Haha.”
“Ugh…”
Seojun laughed, and Aqua lowered her head.
It looks like she was so embarrassed that even her ears turned red.
The fact that he’s reacting like that even though I’ve been kissing him on the cheek so far is probably a reaction he can make because he genuinely sees Seojun as the opposite sex.
‘If she didn’t see it with the opposite sex, there’s no way she would have reacted like that.’
Either you say no and don’t like it, or you don’t mind it like you did with the cheek.
But Aqua was rather embarrassed.
‘If I continue like this, I will get over it.’
Seojun smiled to himself.
It seems like there aren’t many days left to spend the night with Ruby, Aqua, and the child.
***
Ruby thought.
It seems like Papa has changed a little.
‘I think it’s the first time I’ve been kissed on the lips since I was little.’
Ruby touched her lips.
The feeling of my lips with Seojun after a long time felt very good.
But at the same time, I was very puzzled.
‘Papa always tried not to cross the line.’
That’s right.
Seojun always drew a certain line and tried not to cross it.
There are many reasons.
First.
It was before I had yet received permission from the child.
Second.
The two needed to be sure about the feelings they had for Seojun.
And now.
Both conditions were achieved.
Now that there is no longer any reason to draw lines, all you have to do is do whatever you want.
“Uhehe.”
Ruby laughed brightly.
The kiss I had with Seojun was ecstatic, like walking in heaven.
“Chureup. “It’s delicious.”
Ruby wiped her drool.
Aqua looked at that as if it were pitiful.
“Sister? Why do you look at me like that?”
“… No, just a little. It’s like pervert.”
“No way. It’s like pervert. “What does that mean to my lovely sister?”
“You should have seen that image in the mirror just now.”
“Tsk. “Why don’t you change your expression?”
“… Me?”
Aqua pointing at herself.
Ruby snorted and turned to Aqua with her cell phone in selfie mode.
“Look at the raised corners of his mouth. “Aren’t you like the sister who was always cool?”
“Ah.”
It’s real.
Aqua touched the corner of her mouth.
Although it wasn’t as bad as Ruby’s, the corners of her mouth were drawn as if she was in a good mood.
“Hmm.”
“Huh~ You’re embarrassed?”
Aqua turns her head and Ruby makes fun of it.
The relationship between the two sisters was quite good.
“Now that I think about it, we’re 16 years old too, right?”
“… Yes? Why is that suddenly happening?”
Hehe. That’s──.”
Ruby recalled her childhood.
About 10 years ago, Seojun asked a question.
-What does Ruby want to be when she grows up?
Ruby confidently answered that question.
-I want to be Papa’s bride!
It’s something I said at least once when I was young, and I’ve heard it from fathers who have daughters.
Seojun’s answer to that was simple and clear.
-I’ll think about it when I turn 16.
16 years old.
Ruby still kept those words in her heart.
Even if she meant it or not, it didn’t really matter to her.
The important thing is that I received a confirmation.
“─No way.”
Aqua opened her mouth wide.
There was no way that she, a member of the elite who had graduated from Tokyo Medical School in her previous life, would not know the meaning of that statement.
“Ruby. Anyway, that’s not a good idea.”
“Huh? Why?”
“It’s family. Among family members──.”
“Sister.”
Ruby cut off Aqua’s continued words.
“I think this is all I need. “Do you like or hate Papa?”
“… “That is.”
Aqua was speechless for a moment.
But she soon answered the words as if she was muttering.
“I like you…”
“Then it’s done, isn’t it?”
Ruby shrugs her shoulders.
She did what she said.
“In the end, no matter what the public says, if the people involved want it, that’s it. Even if outsiders argue, are you going to do as they say?”
“…”
“I plan to do what I want, no matter what other people say. Because my life is ultimately mine. The regrets are mine, and the disappointments are mine too. To put it bluntly, they are not puppets, so why should you follow what they say? So, in this life, I will definitely achieve what I want.”
Ruby chewed her lip.
For her, her past life was full of only painful memories.
Her last year was happy thanks to Seojun, but she hated the life before that to the point where she wanted to forget it.
That’s why Ruby decided.
Unlike her previous life where she could not achieve anything due to her illness, in this life she will achieve what she wants.
“And if you don’t get caught, it’s not really a crime. Hehe.”
“… “You.”
At the sight of Ruby sticking out her tongue playfully, Aqua let out a bewildered laugh.
However, the serious look that Ruby showed just now was imprinted in her mind.
Aqua doesn’t know what Ruby’s past life was like, but she figured she was at least a lot worse off than he thought.
Is that why?
While I felt sorry for her as she longed for love in her current life, I felt an urge to support her.
“Ha. Okay, do whatever you want.”
“Hehe. Even if you don’t say that, I plan to!”
“But is it really okay? “What if mom or dad don’t like that?”
“Oh, what to worry about!”
Tsk tsk!
Ruby snapped her fingers.
“How much Mama and Papa love us! I’m sure they will allow it!”
“That’s too optimistic.”
“Hey, something like this is all about momentum! “I plan to attack Papa and create a fait accompli!”
“Crazy.”
Aqua spoke proudly.
Because Ruby’s remarks were stronger than I thought.
“Hey, you better not be late too, right? If me and Mama monopolize Papa, her sister will be lonely.”
“What?”
“Why are you so surprised? “My sister is also in love with Papa.”
“…”
“Take care of yourselves, sister. She knows how she wants to do it.”
Ruby left her room.
Aqua, left alone, was in agony.
And after ten minutes.
There was a certain determination in her eyes.
