Chapter 155 – I Will Take Responsibility for Everyone
“Oh, Choi Woo-joo?! Where have you been without even hearing from you until now!”
As soon as I open the door to the conference room and enter, I wake up to a voice calling me.
It was Hye-mi, who got up from her chair, ran straight in front of me, and stopped right in front of me.
Even though it was only a short distance, my sister was so exhausted that she was out of breath.
What should I say to the person I finally met after a week?
On behalf of my older sister, who was contemplating carefully, I opened her mouth first.
“…My older sister can read my thoughts, so I stayed away just in case.
“She didn’t want to show that she was having a hard time, but she’s okay now.”
“…I’m sorry, I never meant to leave you alone…Was it difficult?”
My older sister’s wide-open eyes flinched as if she was startled by my voice.
As expected, my sister must have read my emotions in that brief moment a week ago.
My sister shed tears, blaming herself for not being there for me at that important moment.
Hye-mi, unable to hug me due to her guilt, just wiggled her hands and sobbed.
She pulls her sister into her arms and rubs her back.
“Why is it your fault? I’m really fine now.”
“…”
The power of a great saint, the only saint who has the power to know her master’s emotions and mind.
It must have been difficult for my sister, who was the first to know the reason for my absence and pain.
Instead of her usual cheerfulness, I hug my sister Hye-mi even harder, her tears soaking my arms.
“…I will only allow you now, so you can read deep into my heart yourself.
“What am I thinking and what are my feelings towards my sister?”
“…So, it’s really okay…? But it’s annoying, Choi Woo-joo is really…”
“I’m sorry. From now on, if something like this happens, I’ll be sure to contact my sister.”
Only then did Hyemi playfully hit her chest with a smile mixed with a bit of crying.
She wiped her tears on my shirt and hugged me with a smile around her red eyes.
“Onii-sama, the other seniors have arrived… Oh my.”
“…”
She soon made eye contact with Harumu, who opened the door with a knock and entered.
The two saints, who were quietly observing each other and their moods, smiled together.
“…”
“…”
Would you say you feel an unknown pressure?
My sister and Harumu are both smiling, but why do I feel this weight?
It feels like Hye-mi’s arms are strangely tight and holding me.
“Thank you so much for helping Wooju on my behalf. Harumu, right? You are such a dependable junior.”
“What are you saying… I heard that Hye-mi senior stayed by my brother’s side before.
I simply followed my senior and did what I was expected to do as a saint. Hehe…”
“Hey, it’s Deokdam, right? You two are having a good conversation, right?”
A situation where you can’t do this or that, caught between warm and cold air.
The exchange of glances between the two saints, which shows no sign of ending, seems to take my breath away.
I wish someone could please get me out of here…
“All the saints that my brother called have arrived, but I’m mentally prepared… Okay.”
I wonder if there is a God after all. He heard my earnest prayer and sent Dal-i.
Dal-i came in without noticing or knocking, and was observing the unusual atmosphere.
They say other saints have arrived just then, so if you use that as an excuse to run away…
“Ah, sweetie! Are we all there?! Okay, then…”
“I guess I got the timing wrong.”
“Hey, Choi Dal, stop, where are you going?”
“So, is everyone gathered here?”
I leave the large table in the spacious conference room and walk out to the center.
I feel nervous for no reason because all eyes are focused on me, as if I were giving a presentation.
“It’s nice that it’s been a while, but what happened, master?”
“I see… Isn’t this the first time all 10 saints have gathered together like this?”
“Ah, everyone, it’s my first time meeting you… I’m Go Yunsol, who was absent from the last meeting…
This is my younger sister, Yunbyeol, who recently became a saint…! “Please take care of everyone.”
“Sister, I don’t think that’s the place, so sit down.”
Including the 10 saints, Moon, Byeol, and me, there are a total of 13 people.
With all these people gathered together, it’s really crazy.
Sister Hye-mi, sisters Yun-sol and Yun-byeol, sister’s mother Su-hyeon, and Noah.
Isabel and Luna seem a little excited about going out for the first time in a long time, and Choi Go-eun is already enchanted.
Harumu is quietly sipping green tea alone, and Hana is standing next to him.
After leaving the saints gathered in one place, I look back at the twins standing next to me.
“…Oppa, are you really, really going to do it? Really? Really? Definitely?”
“If I do something wrong, I think my brother could get beaten to death.”
“But it’s okay. If you really feel like you’re going to die, you can stop me.”
Finally, he nods to Dal-i, who confirms whether he really wants to do ‘that’.
He also gives a small eye greeting and a smile to Byul, who is laughing as if she is having fun.
After looking at each other for a moment, Dal sighed and Star stretched.
“Then, from now on, I will put my saintly instincts to sleep for a moment.”
“The Saint Sisters’ pre-brainwashing personalities will come back to life for a moment~”
“────Yes?”
“What did you just say…”
“Eh?”
The saints, who were each telling their own stories and doing other things, looked back at the twins with their eyes wide open.
There was no need for that. I would have judged that I would be dangerous if my pre-brainwashing personality came back to life.
In fact, I didn’t even try to escape, nor did I use any trick to restrain them.
But, this is what I hoped for.
Before the saints could say anything, the twins snapped their fingers—
“Huh?!”
Each of them let out a short moan and lost the symbolic color of the saint that had once shined in their eyes.
Perhaps because of a headache, she held her head in her hands and turned her head as if in pain and confusion.
“What kind of memory is this…?”
“Me when I was human…?”
“Why on earth did I…”
I shouted loudly at them, as if I were giving a presentation.
“I! I made you saints and stole your lives.
“I did it solely for my own greed, and I know that it is something that cannot be forgiven.”
The gaze that was focused on me once again was a little different from before.
I am standing in the midst of eyes that are not light but heavy, and have changed into anger rather than love.
But this was a story that had to end, so I didn’t stop.
“Even so, I want to express my sincere apologies. Everyone! I’m sorry…! Kuok?!”
Just as I was about to bow my head in apology in a loud voice, a palm flew toward my cheek.
My feet came off the ground due to the refreshing swing from below to above.
After spinning in the air, the person who fell to the ground and came into my sight was Go-eun.
“I did it with you…? Wow, wow, wow… You fell behind me today.”
“I don’t plan on making an excuse that I couldn’t help it. Until your anger goes away, you’ll… Beg me?!”
And before I could finish speaking, the bottom of a shoe flew towards my face.
As I stopped the nosebleed that had begun to flow, I checked the owner of the push kick, and it turned out to be Noah.
“…Am I a saint? Hehe, hehe… Okay, I’ll give you a little spanking too.”
“Me too.”
“Ah, Noah and Yunbyeol… Okay, well… Then, feel free to do as much as you want until you are released…”
“Eight!”
The mat rolling started with Go Eun’s signal.
The kicks of the three people who fall towards me with their bodies rounded up create dust in the conference room.
“How dare you do something like that to my sister and me?! This guy is going crazy!”
“Oh, what should I do, what should I do, Woo Joo? I had sex with my cousin, this is crazy…”
“Uh, heh… Heh… This happens to me too… It’s amazing…”
Footprints left clearly on the black jacket I wore and my hair a mess.
Noah, Go-eun, and Yoon-byeol stop kicking and roll on the floor with their faces red and embarrassed.
He wipes his nose and stands up shakily, leaving them behind.
“…Cough, Cluck… Are there any of the following people…?”
There is a saying that it is better to sell quickly.
I thought it would be best to hit it off quickly and apologize quickly so that everyone’s anger can be alleviated.
However, those women whose memories of when they were human and from the time of brainwashing must have come back to life…
“…”
No one stood up.
“…Keu, keuhm… Then I apologize to you all again…”
“Woah, Wooju, you don’t have to apologize…! In my case… I was wrong.”
Just when she was about to shake off the dust and bow her head, Hye-mi said.
“Well, Uju, you told me not to do it, but I kept taking the mask and playing around with it, right?
Then, I ended up wearing a mask… I thought maybe I was self-employed…”
“…Sister, that’s not it… I…”
“Well, and to be honest! It was good… Woo Joo, you were different from Han Tae-jun…
Oh, I felt like they were only looking out for me, ha, haha… That made me feel good.
“Being held by you, having you fill my loneliness, actually, I’ve been doing this for a long time…”
It was my first time seeing Hye-mi this embarrassed.
Her hesitation, the way she trailed off, and the way she fidgeted with her fingers, looking unstable.
My sister, who was trying to say something to me, couldn’t continue and turned her head away.
“Ah, anyway! I don’t want to receive an apology from the universe!”
“…Uh, yes… But, the others are…”
“Can I be honest? I’m happy to be young~ I feel like I’m back in my 20s.
Now, whenever I go out with Hye-mi, people around me ask me if I’m Hye-mi’s younger sister, so I’m so happy~”
Su-hyeon’s older sister says she has been rejuvenated thanks to her transformation into a saint.
“…I was a little angry… But I think my timid personality has changed, so I’m glad.
Well, I still think I can trust someone like Wooju oppa…
Ah, ah! And the one who put the mask on me was Hye-mi, not Woo-joo, right?!”
“Thanks to you, Yunsol, you had a lot of fun with the person you like~”
“Oh, no! Hye-mi, you have to tell her right?! She said she ‘liked’ before!!
Oh, of course I still like it, but…! Ah, of course, as a senior, I like it… Ugh…!!”
Yunsol becomes talkative to hide her true feelings.
“…I definitely feel resentful that I became a saint and had my body and mind violated by you.
But anyway, I killed your friend. “I have no right to blame you.”
“I don’t have any complaints, do I? If you think about it, it was Isabelle who made me a saint…”
“Lu, Luna… I’m truly sorry about that…”
“No~ I felt really happy, right? If I had lived as a nun, I wouldn’t have known about this for the rest of my life.
So I am very grateful to Isabelle, and I am also grateful to you. For saving Isabelle.
“This kid has a tendency to blame himself a lot, so if he had left it as is, something really could have happened.”
“Luna…”
“And Isabelle, it looks like you found love in your diary too. Did you see everything she wrote?
“If you’re the owner, you can change the world, and you’re different from the mask owners I knew…”
“Aaaaah!!!”
Isabelle, who accepts it as her own karma, and Luna, who seems to truly enjoy her transformation into a saint…?
Harumu looks at me with a smile while standing in the distance, and Hana quietly looks into space.
Noah, Go Eun, and Yoon Byeol, the hot-tempered trio, seem embarrassed by the unexpectedly warm atmosphere.
“Oh, no, Isabelle! What happens to me if you do that?!”
“What is it, shameless anger management disorder?”
“Ahh! I don’t like that! So, honestly, I did something wrong too…
“I can’t say it… I’m sorry I hit you, I was embarrassed.”
Noah.
“You said my sister liked that oppa…? No, I don’t really… Well… Then… Um…”
Byeol Yoon.
“…Okay, how about being a cousin? You should get married and take responsibility for what happened.”
Even Go Eun.
“…I shouldn’t say this, but isn’t this a problem that can be easily overlooked?”
My doubts soared at the sight of the saints so easily forgiving me on a day like this.
Weird? I don’t think it was something that could be forgiven so easily.
Uh, should I be punished?
A strange situation where a sinner feels uncomfortable in an atmosphere that is going well.
Still, the women, embarrassed by the returning spirit and concept, continued to speak.
“I heard it, but I can’t go back to being a human anyway, and if I go back, it’s a loss, right?
“They say you won’t be able to satisfy your desires for the rest of your life, but we don’t want to live like that.”
“Just because I regret it and blame you, doesn’t mean all my memories of my time as a saint will disappear?”
“It may be that my sexual and moral concepts have changed according to the common sense of a saint, but I haven’t suffered anything particularly unpleasant…”
“…On the contrary, we know how other masters treat saints,
Choi Woo-joo, I can feel how gentle and good a ‘master’ you were to us.”
“So, space.”
Hyemi came over and placed her hand on my cheek, lifted her tiptoes, and gave me her lips.
It had a soft texture like cotton candy with a sweet scent.
“Not an apology, just a word of responsibility is enough.”
”────”
Hye-mi, who flicks her finger on my forehead with a cheerful laugh and a mischievous smile.
Everyone gave me a chance.
Then of course I have to do it.
“I will take responsibility.”
To become a vessel that can contain all of their desires.
“I will take responsibility for everything I have taken from you, your past, present, and future.”
The twins, flinching at my decision, look up at me with surprised expressions.
“Desire…”
“It’s gotten bigger…”
As the owner, I take responsibility for everything about the girls who have become my saints.
That was a new path and a unique opportunity given to me.
I don’t miss this anymore.
As the owner, he takes responsibility for them and rules them.
“.. Hehe…♡”
Sister Hye-mi laughed.
“Then please take care of me again? Master…♡”
