Chapter 74 – Episode 74 – Development (5)
“There’s a fitness room across from the party room. It’s convenient to work out at home without having to go to the gym, right?”
The basement of the third house.
Across from the party room was a fitness room.
The fitness room was about the size of a master bedroom in a typical house.
It wasn’t as big as a gym, but it had basic exercise equipment properly arranged.
Moreover, one entire wall was made of mirrors, so it seemed perfect for Sujeong or Delia to do yoga.
‘Or I could invite Dajeong or Yujeong and touch them here and there under the guise of doing Pilates, which is all the rage these days…!’
Heh heh.
Good, good.
“Even though it’s a basement, it has a good ventilation system. Ah! Of course, the entire house has a system air conditioner installed, so you don’t have to worry about heating or cooling at all.”
The real estate agent explained with all his might.
Since I had said that I would definitely buy one of the three houses I was seeing today, it was a very good opportunity for him.
“This is the bathroom and sauna room. It’s separate from the toilet, and it has a bathtub and sauna facilities.”
Apart from the toilet, there was also a sauna next to the bathroom.
‘It’s not that big, but two people could fit in it.’
Sujeong’s eyes sparkled when she saw the sauna.
“Wow. The design is nice.”
“Haha. Yes, it is. It’s made using hinoki wood, so it has a natural and lyrical feel. It also has mood lighting, so you can create a nice atmosphere.”
The agent continued his explanation.
“This is the office. It’s not as big as the party room, but it’s a spacious room.”
On the first basement floor, there were a total of five facilities: a party room, a fitness room, a bathroom, a sauna, and an office.
The office was also quite large, though not as big as the party room.
‘But when I think about it, managing a house like this would be quite difficult.’
Maybe it would be good to have someone to manage it.
“Next, I’ll show you the first floor.”
We followed the real estate agent up the stairs.
The first floor consisted of a garden, a living room, a kitchen, a dining room, a master bedroom, and one empty room. Of course, there were also bathrooms and toilets.
“This is the sunroom. It’s mostly made of glass, so it’s good for getting sunlight. You can go in and out through the system door.”
In the empty room on the first floor, there was a door that led to a sunroom, a kind of veranda-like space made of glass. It looked like a good place to grow plants.
“Now, let’s go to the second floor.”
On the second floor, there was a dressing room, a second living room, and two empty rooms.
‘I can let the girls use the dressing room.’
The dressing room was also quite large.
It might be insufficient if the number of heroines increases, but the Black Room is ridiculously large anyway.
If I upgrade the Black Room and add more rooms, I plan to give each of them their own bedroom in the Black Room.
For the wardrobe, I can just pull out a few with coins and put them there.
“The third floor has two rooms and a terrace.”
The terrace had a luxurious design that you would only see in movies. It was very spacious, and there were also tables and chairs so you could have tea while enjoying the view.
“It’s in a forest area. There’s a mountain nearby, so the scenery is good.”
Finally, there was the attic on the fourth floor.
There was a small staircase in one of the empty rooms on the third floor that led to the attic. The attic was small, so it felt like a bit of a bonus.
After looking around the entire house, Sujeong asked me.
“Jinhyeon, how much is this house?”
“Hmm. I think the sale price was 3.3 billion won? Something like that.”
“Ugh. It’s expensive after all…”
Still, it’s cheaper than your parents’ house.
“So, did you like it?”
I nodded at the real estate agent’s question.
“Yes, I liked it. I’m satisfied with everything.”
“Ah, then…!”
“We’ll discuss where would be best together today, and I’ll contact you tomorrow.”
The real estate agent smiled broadly at my words.
“Ah, yes. I understand!”
We said a brief goodbye to the real estate agent and parted ways.
Sujeong and Delia clung to me, linking arms.
The real estate agent was returning after a successful sale, but for some reason, his back looked a little lonely.

“Here.”
A luxurious restaurant decorated in red tones.
I cut the steak and placed it on Sujeong’s plate.
“Aren’t you spending too much money today?”
Sujeong asked, munching on the steak.
“Aigoo. You don’t have to worry about that.”
“Still… I should treat you too.”
“It’s okay. And you’ve done more for me. Have you forgotten that I got a free meal when I went to your house?”
Although it was a high-end restaurant, it was much cheaper than the Chinese restaurant I had gone to with Sujeong’s family.
“But that was my dad who paid for it. When I think about it, I don’t think I’ve spent any money lately. Jinhyeon pays for all the food.”
Well, that’s true.
Since I have so much money, there was no need to make Sujeong spend any.
‘I’m glad I made a lot of bank accounts back then.’
After winning over 4 billion won in the lottery, I divided the money into different bank accounts as needed.
It was difficult to open a new bank account these days, but fortunately, I had quite a few dormant accounts that I could reactivate at the bank and use right away.
One of the accounts I divided the money into was the food expense account.
I set it up so that 5 million won would be automatically transferred to the food expense account every month, and I made a card for that account and gave it to Sujeong.
I told her to use the card I gave her when she went grocery shopping or bought anything.
5 million a month is a lot of money, but it’s better to have more than less.
It would be good to use it when I go out to eat with the heroines like this or when I order something for delivery.
“If you’re cooking, it’s even more unfair if you don’t calculate food expenses.”
It’s not like I don’t have money, and Sujeong and Delia are the ones who cook, so it would be a complete jerk move if I made Sujeong pay for the food.
“Right, Delia~?”
“Um? *gulp*, that’s right.”
Delia swallowed the pasta she had been stuffing in her cheeks and nodded.
“Eat slowly, I’ll order more if you’re not full.”
*Swish swish.*
I wiped the sauce off Delia’s mouth.
“Ugh. If I had known this would happen, I would have treated you more when we were dating. I feel like I’m just going to keep receiving.”
“You’ve treated me a lot so far. And, it’s enough for me just to have you, Sujeong?”
Sujeong pursed her lips.
“Really?”
“Really.”
“Hehe, I love you♡.”
We finished our meal, cuddling with Sujeong and Delia, something that my past self would have cried over.
“That’ll be 239,000 won.”
“Should I pay with this?”
“Yeah.”
Sujeong took the card back after paying, and I read the receipt.
I don’t even think twice about the expensive price tags anymore.
‘Still, I did spend a lot today.’
It felt a bit much to just look at the house and go home, so I took Sujeong and Delia on several classic date courses, including a movie and a bowling alley.
We didn’t just watch a movie, but we watched it in a special theater.
35,000 won per seat.
Since there were three of us, it was a 105,000 won movie.
The seats in the special theater were basically wide, and the screen was much larger.
The chairs could be reclined, and they even provided drinks, but I wondered if it was really worth 35,000 won per seat.
Well, the good thing was that there was no one there?
I’m not kidding, it was just the three of us watching the movie.
“How was today?”
I asked Sujeong in the taxi on the way back.
“It was so good. I think it would be nice if we went on dates together often in the future. Right?”
“Yes, sister. Hehe.”
Seeing Sujeong and Delia smiling at each other made me feel good.
Sujeong had become quite close to Delia, to the point where she didn’t get jealous even when I showed affection to Delia alone.
‘That’s a good sign.’
I opened the Heroine app and checked the coins I had.
– [Coins Held: 21,172 coins]
‘It’s almost time.’
One week.
Maybe I can collect enough coins to take good care of Delia’s traits before that.
Sujeong and Delia are already quite close, but to become the closest, shouldn’t they reveal all their parts to each other?
‘I’ll perfectly capture Delia… and then it’s 3P!’
If they rub against each other naked, their bond will become even stronger.
I’ve already matched Sujeong’s traits, so she won’t feel any resistance to 3P with Delia.
“Oh, right. The house we’re moving to, it’s definitely the third house we saw, right?”
As I was thinking about 3P, I suddenly remembered the party room I had seen this morning.
“Yeah. It’s expensive, but if the price doesn’t matter, that one seems to be the best. The facilities are really good too.”
“I think so too.”
“Okay~.”
With that, the house we’re moving to was decided, and the business we’re starting was also confirmed.
Around lunchtime today, I received the number of a good interior designer from Sujeong’s father, as well as an introduction to his friend who could help me find a good location.
‘I never thought that friend would be Jang Ye-hwa’s father.’
Well, it’s a good thing.
I’m busy capturing Delia, Dajeong, and Yujeong right now, but I want to capture Ye-hwa someday too.
It would be a good choice to get to know Ye-hwa’s family first.
‘I’ve decided to meet Ye-hwa’s father separately next week to talk.’
I’ll make a preliminary contract for the house tomorrow, and then set a date for the official contract. After completing the contract, I’ll entrust the interior design of the house along with the cafe we’re starting.
‘Then the move and the start-up will be decided.’
So, what should I do now?
The pie to put on top of cute Dajeong.
It was time to throw bait at Yujeong.
‘At first, I was caught off guard and kissed in the movie theater without any resistance…’
But things are completely different now.
I smiled and opened CocoaTalk.
******
“Haa.”
Yoon Yujeong came out of the convenience store and sighed.
She had barely made it through another day.
“Late again. Always late.”
She suddenly felt annoyed.
The new night shift worker at the convenience store after Jinhyeon quit his part-time job.
That person was 20 minutes late again today.
If it was just once or twice, she could understand.
But it was a bit much to be late 2-3 times a week, every single time.
It was also annoying.
‘Jinhyeon never came late except for once…!’
She was tired of even urging him to come quickly. So, she had casually mentioned it to the store manager, but it was no use.
[Sorry. Please understand.]
What was she supposed to understand?
It seemed like the new person was a friend of the store manager.
‘Damn… should I just quit?’
She suddenly had that thought in a fit of anger.
But then what would she do?
She doubted if there would be another part-time job she could do besides the convenience store. These days, the competition for part-time jobs was so fierce that it was difficult to find one.
She was also short on money…
‘Hing…’
Yoon Yujeong looked like she was about to cry.
Why was nothing going right?
Sometimes she wanted to cry.
Even though she tried to stay positive and cheerful, there were times like this when she felt sad.
‘Would I have been happy if I had dated Jinhyeon back then?’
That memory that made her heart flutter so much.
She wondered if she would ever feel that heart-fluttering feeling again in her life.
Was that why?
Sometimes Jinhyeon’s face would come to her mind like this.
‘Sigh. But what’s the point of thinking about it… I was the one who got dumped, and we don’t even contact each other anymore.’
Yoon Yujeong’s lips pouted.
Since Jinhyeon quit his part-time job, she had never contacted him.
Since the point of contact of working together had disappeared, it was a bit awkward to contact him first.
‘Besides, we were just ordinary acquaintances, and I was the one who kissed him first and confessed.’
Then she got dumped, and she even asked him to pretend it never happened.
She felt guilty that Jinhyeon quit his part-time job the very next day, wondering if it was because of her, and on the other hand, she was also upset that he just suddenly left.
‘Did he hate me that much…?’
Still, she was quite confident in her appearance.
There were even people who would hit on her.
Jinhyeon’s eyes would sometimes turn lecherous, but… it was quite shocking that he rejected her confession.
‘Still, he shouldn’t have just quit without saying a word!’
That’s right!
The more she thought about it, the more upset she became.
Yoon Yujeong was the one who asked why he quit.
The answer she got back was just a short sentence that he was looking for a different path. After that, they just exchanged formal greetings, and there hadn’t been a single text since then.
‘Haa. I guess I’m just unlucky.’
Just everything.
She should just go home and rest.
Still, tomorrow was the weekend, so she was happy that she could relax her body to her heart’s content.
“Hoo.”
Yoon Yujeong thought that and turned off her phone screen.
Just as she was about to put her phone in her pocket, her phone beeped with a notification.
‘Is it Mom?’
Because the next part-timer was late today, she was late getting home. She might have texted because she was worried.
Yoon Yujeong opened her phone again to check the text.
[Jinhyeon: What are you up to these days, sis?]
“Huh?”
On the screen, she saw the name of someone she hadn’t expected.
