## Chapter 223 – 22. New Year
+++
I spent the entire night having sex with Ko Min-yeong and welcomed the second day of the New Year, Saturday, January 2nd, 1977.
As a continuation of yesterday’s New Year’s celebration, there was to be a large-scale meeting starting today and lasting until tomorrow, with tens of thousands of executives to decide the group’s future. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the fate of Asia for the next year would be determined by the agenda discussed at this meeting, and as such an important meeting, Ko Min-yeong, as the group’s vice president, couldn’t possibly be absent.
Consequently, she had to leave the room in the early hours of the morning, having barely slept.
*Kiss*
Just before leaving, she kissed me on the cheek.
Already fully dressed in a suit, she kissed my cheek for quite a while for a simple peck.
I wondered if she had left a dark lipstick stain on my cheek.
“Haa, it’s a shame. So regrettable.”
“We’ll see each other again soon.”
“I wish that were true…”
Even after taking her lips off my cheek, she stared at me for a long time.
Just twenty minutes ago, we were passionately entwined, and now I had to send her away like this.
I, too, felt a great sense of regret.
*Kiss*
This time, I kissed her forehead.
She smiled pleasantly, then kissed my other cheek, and then I kissed the bridge of her nose,
We continued like this for a while, and I had to force myself to stop before things heated up again.
“I’ll be back.”
“If you’re too tired, come take a break.”
“Hehe. Okay.”
I watched her back as if I were seeing off my wife.
The moment the door closed, the heated space turned cold in an instant.
Ah.
Is this what “loneliness” is?
After indulging in the sentimentality for a moment, I burrowed into the blankets.
“…It’s damp.”
The traces of Ko Min-yeong and I rolling around passionately.
The duvet still held it all.
I had just taken a shower, so going back in here felt a bit wrong, but
I was too tired to care and closed my eyes.
I should sleep now too.
I hadn’t slept properly for almost two days. Because of sex.
The moment I closed my eyes, I felt like I was sinking beneath the bed and fell asleep.
+++
“…Eek.”
A voice in my hazy consciousness.
I’d heard it somewhere before.
“…It’s me.”
?
What?
“…Right?”
Is someone calling me?
“Wake up, you little shit.”
*Slap*
????
Who slapped my cheek…?
I opened my eyes and immediately sat up.
The slightly stinging cheek was secondary; I was hearing voices that shouldn’t be there.
“Ha, you little shit. You’re so damn lazy.”
“…?”
Ko Min-ji was standing next to the bed with her arms crossed, smirking, Ko Ha-yan was sitting at the desk with her chin propped up, reading a book, and Ko Seon-yul was lying on the sofa, fiddling with her phone.
“How many hours have you been sleeping~?”
“What…?”
I couldn’t understand the situation.
Why was I here?
No, why were these women here?
‘Wait, what’s going on? Did I move, or did my sisters barge in??’
I quickly looked around.
I had definitely been having a passionate romp with Ko Min-yeong, so unless the secretaries had come in and cleaned up in the meantime, there should have been plenty of evidence left.
But it was clean here.
‘Another room…?’
If so, the only thing I could think of was that my sisters had taken me to another room…
But why?
And how??
“Look at your spaced-out face~. It’s so funny.”
“…What is this? Why am I here?”
“What do you mean? I brought you here, of course.”
“…?”
“You were sleeping, so I lifted you up with the whole bed, but you kept sleeping anyway.”
“No way.”
Was she saying that she broke into my room while I was sleeping, picked me up with the bed, and kidnapped me?
“Seriously, you wouldn’t even notice if you were kidnapped? What are you going to do? You need to be careful~.”
“…”
Ko Min-ji laughed as if it were fun.
She looked like she was planning to attempt a kidnapping sometime in the future.
“Is it okay to just barge into someone else’s room like this…”
“Someone else’s room? Hey, are we strangers?”
Ko Min-ji said that and leaned in closer.
Then she whispered in my ear.
“I was surprised to find you in Mom’s room~♥.”
“Ah.”
“Seriously, how much did you guys fuck? You pervert. The smell of semen was overwhelming. I thought I was going to get pregnant just from the smell♥.”
“…”
“What did those secretaries do to deserve having to clean that up~♥?”
Ko Min-ji lifted herself back up after whispering that.
“Stop grumbling and go take a shower. You stink.”
What the hell was going on…?
I was dumbfounded, but I went into the bathroom anyway.
I was a little concerned about leaving the bed full of traces of Ko Min-yeong and me, but… I decided to trust Ko Min-ji.
She wouldn’t intentionally spread the news about my relationship with Ko Min-yeong, would she? It was her own mother’s reputation at stake.
“Come to think of it, they said there was a gathering today.”
While the adults were having a meeting to decide the future of the group and Asia, my sisters were having a separate gathering to socialize.
Since I was here this year, I would naturally be joining them…
‘Have they been socializing all this time? I highly doubt it.’
Looking at Ko Min-ji and Ko Ha-yan, and Ko Min-yeong and Ko Ha-yeong, it seemed impossible.
“Seriously. If you have something to say, say it. Why bring someone here like this? Tsk.”
I grumbled and applied shower foam to my stubbornly erect dick.
If this were my mansion, I would have had Soo-ah or the secretaries do all this and even get a bathroom service.
It was a shame I couldn’t do that with my sisters around.
I lathered myself with foam and splashed water on myself.
And just then,
*Click*
“?”
The faint sound of a camera was drowned out by the splashing water.
I almost didn’t hear it.
“What? Did I mishear?”
I was suspicious for a moment, but I didn’t think so. I definitely heard a camera sound.
And half a beat later, I heard the sound of the bathroom door closing.
Someone definitely opened the door and took a picture of me.
‘…’
If anyone would do that in this situation…
“Ha, Ko Min-ji, seriously.”
Ko Min-ji, Ko Ha-yan, and Ko Seon-yul were the only ones in the room.
Therefore, the only person who would do such a thing was naturally Ko Min-ji.
She was really doing all sorts of things.
Did she really want to do this to her cousin!
“She’s even taking pictures to do something weird later. Seriously. I’m speechless.”
Was she taking revenge for me sleeping with Ko Min-yeong?
But I couldn’t help it.
There was a mother and a daughter, how could I choose the daughter? Huh? How could I defy the vice president? She had to acknowledge that.
And if she was going to do it, she should have done it more smartly.
Why make so much noise?
Was she deliberately trying to get caught?
“Ugh. I swear.”
I glared at Ko Min-ji and continued showering.
.
.
When I came out of the shower, the bed had been cleaned up.
I asked, and Ko Min-ji said she had called the secretaries to clean it up.
Just like when she brought me here.
The atmosphere in the room had also changed slightly. The sisters, who had been doing their own things, were gathered in one place, waiting for me.
Ko Min-ji, Ko Ha-yan, Ko Seon-yul.
Three women with different atmospheres and feelings were looking at me.
‘I need to corner Ko Min-ji when we’re alone.’
The pervert Ko Min-ji.
I’ll make sure she can’t move for a week.
“You’re here.”
Ko Ha-yan was the first to speak.
A small box was placed in front of her.
“Come sit down.”
She said that and slid the box in front of her towards my seat.
Was she…giving it to me…?
I sat down in a daze, and something else slid towards me.
Ko Seon-yul had placed it in front of her, and this time it was a document envelope.
What was this…?
I looked at them with a puzzled expression, and Ko Min-ji grinned and said.
“We used to exchange gifts among ourselves to promote friendship, but this time we decided to just give them all to you. Aren’t you grateful?”
“Huh.”
W-what?!
“…If you’re poor, it’ll reflect badly on us. Always remember that we’re ‘Kos.’ We need to have a certain level of class.”
Ko Ha-yan said, subtly averting her gaze.
At the same time, she subtly took out her left hand, which had a ring on it, and placed it on the table.
The RK-77 sparkled brilliantly.
‘…How long is she planning to wear that?’
Ko Min-ji saw that and subtly took out a necklace.
Ko Ha-yan’s eyebrows twitched.
“Well, I’m not exactly poor…”
“Shut up. You should just say ‘thank you’ when your sisters give you something, why are you talking so much?”
“Thank you.”
But Ko Min-ji hadn’t given me anything yet…?
“What about you?”
Ko Ha-yan pointed it out right away.
“Why don’t you have anything?”
“Aww~, I’m going to give it to him separately.”
“What?”
“I’ve gotten a little closer to Mu-yeol lately. So I prepared a more private gift. I don’t want to show it to you guys, so I’ll give it to him separately~.”
“Ha… Just take it out. Don’t be so sly.”
“Sly? How can you call giving a gift to my cousin sly? That’s funny.”
Uh oh.
Don’t fight.
“Um, what are these? I’m grateful, but I don’t know what they are.”
I quickly intervened before things got heated.
I opened the box that Ko Ha-yan gave me first.
It wasn’t really wrapped, so it was just a structure where you could simply open the lid.
Inside was a men’s wallet.
‘A wallet?’
Was it a luxury brand gift?
“Hey, are you kidding me? What kind of gift is this?”
Ko Min-ji scoffed from the side.
But Ko Ha-yan didn’t respond and looked at me.
Was there something else inside?
What I found in the wallet was a black card.
As soon as I pulled it out, Ko Ha-yan finally spoke.
“Use it if you need to spend money. There’s no limit, so don’t worry about the amount.”
What?!
