Chapter 181 – Final Exams
Seo Joo-hwan shook off the cigarette ash in the ashtray. The cigarette, which he hadn’t even smoked in a few puffs, had only a filter left before he knew it.
“Goodbye, Lucy.”
A bitter taste lingered in my mouth.
He remembered what he had just said to Lucy.
‘Family.’
The existence that was just a helper melted into his life before he knew it. Being by my side became a natural fact.
Only 6 months.
Even though it was a time that could not be called long, Lucy became his companion.
“Lucy.”
No answer comes back
Seo Joo-hwan, who was silent for a moment, pronounced differently.
“The Desire System.”
Then the answer comes back.
[Yes, Master.]
Same voice as Lucy. However, it is a businesslike voice with no emotion and no pitch. It wasn’t Lucy.
“… Don’t call me master.”
Seo Joo-hwan clicked his tongue and said. When someone other than Lucy called her master with the same voice as Lucy, a strong sense of rejection came up.
The system obeyed him without question.
[All right. How can I call it?]
“Anything other than the meaning of master.”
[Then I will call you the user.]
Seo Joo-hwan nodded roughly and left the veranda. He turned off the light in the living room and climbed onto the bed and closed his eyes. Suddenly, I remembered what Lucy had said.
‘I said I would always be by your side.’
As he said, Lucy fell asleep for a while, but he didn’t really leave. She was taking a break from coming to the surface of the system. When the time is right, she will return, she said. So when she said she went on a trip, she was wrong.
‘Have a good rest. I’ll be waiting for you.’
Seo Joo-hwan hoped that the wait would not be too long.

Next day.
Seo Ju-hwan served breakfast to his party. Everyone drank a lot the day before, so they poured a bowl of cool bean sprout soup.
“Yeah. Joo-hwan, have you always been good at cooking? Why didn’t you come with a catering illness?”
“What and how much did you wear? Soup and a few side dishes are finished.”
“Hey, how can this meat be a side dish? You can take it to the store and sell it.”
Seo Joo-hwan smiled and shrugged his shoulders. In any case, self-cooking is at the level of selling at a store. Compared to his father his, he is clumsy. He was, after all, a good older brother.
When Lee Jung-hoon praised him, Seulgi Yoon who sat next to him vigorously nodded.
“The soup is really good. It would be nice for a woman to marry my brother.”
After saying that, Yoon Seul-gi glanced at Min Ga-hee and smiled sinisterly. When her eyes met, Min Ga-hee glanced at Seo Joo-hwan with her blushing face and gave her face strength. But soon, the sound of the wind leaked out between the loose lips of her.
Seo Ju-hwan shook his head with an ambiguous face.
“I like food cooked by someone.”
“Uh, then, oppa’s ideal type is a woman who is good at cooking?”
“It’s not even my ideal type, but it’s good if I do well. I like the rice someone cooks that much. It feels a bit warm.”
In his past life, he lived alone and ate alone, so he liked the food someone cooked for him.
“Well, I like what I do, though.”
For the same reason, he liked what he did for others. When he ate deliciously, he felt proud and rewarded.
“Huh. I see.”
Yoon Seul-gi nodded her head and looked at her friend her with pity. As expected, Min Ga-hee was depressed with her face in despair. Even if she couldn’t cook, she was too bad. Suddenly, Min Ga-hee seemed to be holding her hands tightly and promising her something. Seulgi Yoon giggled at the sight.
‘I need to practice cooking. I should ask Seulgi to taste it!’
She was the smile of someone who did not know the future that would come to her.
*
Seo Ju-hwan sighed in relief as he ate. Judging by Yoon Seul-gi’s attitude of her, it seemed that her memories of her had been well erased.
‘It seems that Jung-hoon hyung didn’t even notice.’
At dawn, he erased her memory of Yoon Seul-gi and washed her body her thoroughly, even using her ‘sweet sleep aid’. In her exhausted state, she did not get an erection even though she massaged the woman’s naked body her. Especially how hard it was to get the semen packed inside her…….
She couldn’t get all the men out of her at all. Due to the structure of her body her, there was a limit to how much she could scrape out with her fingers, and the insanely cheap semen flowed out constantly. In the end, while he was washing Yoon Seul-gi, he hypnotically whispered in my ear, “It’s not semen that flows out of the vagina, it’s cold.” Since the ‘obedience’ effect of the pheromone boost was there, I would have passed without much doubt.
‘Still, I guess I need to be careful.’
After Seo Joo-hwan finished eating, he called Seul-gi Yoon and said.
“Do you remember what happened yesterday morning?”
“Yes? What happened?”
Seulgi Yoon blinked her eyes with a look on her face her. Looking at her innocent face her, she remembered all the hardships she had suffered the night before, and felt her fever run high.
“Whoa.”
Seo Joo-hwan exhaled a long breath and took a deep breath. He couldn’t even take offense at a kid he couldn’t remember.
However, that appearance was enough for Yoon Seul-gi. He is Seo Joo-hwan, who has always been seen laughing and chatting since his first meeting his at the club. When he let out a long sigh with a frown on his face, he noticed. He was even more so because there was still a lingering “Obedience” Effect.
Yoon Seul-gi intuitively sensed that the situation was not serious and carefully respected her.
“Brother, I made a mistake yesterday… ?”
“… I almost made it big, but fortunately it ended in an attempt.”
“No demand?”
“You drink in moderation. Don’t drink until you’re drunk. Never. Got it?”
“Ah, okay. But what happened?”
Seo Joo-hwan chose his words for a moment. He intended to cut it down and tell me just enough to get his attention. After hearing the story, Seulgi Yoon’s face turned white.
“I-I attacked my sleeping brother? Aren’t you Jung Hoon’s brother?”
“Okay. He almost fell for it. He came under the covers and tried to take my panties down.”
“No, no way…….”
Seulgi Yoon had a shocked face.
Seo Joo-hwan spoke quickly before she misunderstood.
“Calm down. Like I said earlier, it ended in an attempt. Nothing happened. You fell asleep again, and Jung-hoon quietly took you next to you.”
“I, really, nothing happened, right?”
“Uh. What else could have happened there that you wouldn’t have remembered?”
“Yeah, that’s right. Thank god. I’m really glad…….”
Yoon Seul-gi stroked her chest and muttered, “It’s always a relief.” Then, she bowed her waist to Seo Ju-hwan and expressed her apology and gratitude.
“Done. I could just pretend I didn’t know, but I’m telling you never to do that in the future. I’ll keep it a secret from Jung-hoon hyung.”
“Brother, thank you so much and I’m sorry. Really.”
Seulgi Yoon said that no matter how much she said hello, it was not enough.
At this point, Seo Ju-hwan’s conscience was stabbed. The irritation that had remained for a while immediately disappeared, and I even felt apologetic.
Yesterday, Seulgi Yoon and I did it a few times…….
‘I need to bring more items to my brother. I need to take energy pills, anti-fatigue pills, and, ah, hair pills.’
On that day, Lee Jung-hoon received a lot of presents without knowing why.
After using the item, he expressed infinite gratitude to Seo Ju-hwan. Not only did he recover from fatigue and increase his energy his, but his head his, which had recently begun to fall out due to stress, was also full, so it was natural. Thanks to this, Lee Jung-hoon had a happy love life with Yoon Seul-gi.

Time passed just fine without Lucy. It was a peaceful day without much change. In the meantime, Seo Ju-hwan wrote. He focused on publishing new works, and as the number of episodes piled up, he was on the verge of paying a fee.
The title of the new work was changed to “Barracks Life of a Returner” As desired. Others said they didn’t know what the difference was from the previous title, “I went back to the day before enlistment,” But he himself liked it.
“It’s fortunate that the reading rate is high.”
Compared to the previous work, all figures were lower. In particular, the absolute value of inflow was low, so the number of preferred works also did not reach 10,000. It was a very disappointing figure compared to the previous game. However, the reading rate was so high that there was almost no difference based on episode 15.
“I hope it will be maintained even after it is paid. Right, Lucy?”
Naturally, no answer came back.
“Tsk.”
Seo Joo-hwan realized his mistake and kicked his tongue.
He used to talk a lot to himself, perhaps because he had lived alone for a long time. That tendency became stronger after being with Lucy. Talking to the air has become a habit because there is someone to accept the words. So even though he knew Lucy was asleep, he would occasionally talk to her out of habit.
‘I should go see the kids.’
If you are with close friends such as Lee Seok-chan and Jang Deok-hun, Jung Ha-yeon and Yu Ji-gyeong, you will not be in needless distress. The time we were together was so much fun that we were busy giggling without even having time to grieve.
*
His party his, including Seo Joo-hwan, gathered at the’Crow Pocha’on 1st Street. Crow Pocha was the group’s regular bar.
The boss, who recognized the group, greeted them first.
“Come on, boys. Why has it been so long.”
“Hello, boss. I’m busy studying these days.”
“I came today and I don’t think I will be able to come again for a while. It’s a test from next week.”
It is mid-June, the final exam. After the exams next week, it was the end of the first semester.
The president looked at Seo Ju-hwan and his company with a strange expression and said.
“Are you studying too?”
“OMG. What does that mean?”
“Brother boss, you’re too mean. We swept all the top ranks in the department.”
“Haha. Are you guys here for a drink? It’s a freshman year, so of course I thought studying would be an afterthought.”
As the boss said, I came for a drink at least two or three times a week. Including what he drank at Seo Joo-hwan’s house, he was living the sober life of a first-year college student.
“Ji-kyung and Deok-hoon seem to have the best grades?”
At those words, the faces of the two crumpled. The president naturally thought that the two people in front would do the best in their studies, but in reality, the two people in the group had the lowest grades. Of course, the exact grades have not been released yet, but it was possible to guess just by looking at the false grades.
Seeing the expression on the faces of the two, the boss tilted his head.
“What, you say your grades are high?”
“No, is it high? Probably in the top 10 of the minimum department!”
Yoo Ji-kyung raised her voice confidently. However, in the words that follow, her strength her crumbles away.
“But here it is the lowest…….”
“… It’s just that my brothers and sisters are scammers. No, Hayeon-nim is working hard, but I don’t know why Joo-hwan and Seok-chan have high grades.”
Brothers and sisters only laugh awkwardly at the younger siblings’ complaints. Of course, Lee Seok-chan giggled and made fun of his younger siblings.
“This is a natural class-throw, you guys. What if I’m smart? Work hard, fools.”
At those nasty words, the faces of the two were crumpled like paper. Seo Joo-hwan or Jung Ha-yeon would have known, but Lee Seok-chan, who even crammed, was treated like this!
*
Yoo Ji-gyeong, who was drunk, shouted as she glared at Lee Seok-chan.
“I will definitely win against this oppa!”
Jang Deok-hoon also participated.
“I will never lose to Sukchan Ham.”
Lee Seok-chan giggled as if the two people’s promise was ridiculous.
“What are you doing with heat? Isn’t it enough to get an A if you just cram in your studies?”
He even smiled smirkingly, as if to get upset on purpose, so his face his made me want to punch him in the face. Seo Joo-hwan, who was next to him for no reason, clenched his fists. At last, his hand was about to come out.
Yoo Ji-kyung and Jang Deok-hun also trembled with their hands holding the cups. At that time, Lee Seok-chan snapped his fingers and said.
“If you twist it, can you make a bet? Four people bet, and the first place gives orders to the others one by one.”
Seo Ju-hwan, who was sipping alcohol, hesitated.
“Hey, am I among those four?”
“Of course. Aren’t you going to?”
“Hmm. I will.”
It seemed like fun. Shall we bully the raccoon with a cause after a long time?
When Seo Joo-hwan smiled, Yoo Ji-gyeong flinched. However, he nodded firmly as if he had thought of something.
“Like. I will do it too.”
“I will do it too.”
“Okay, bet done. It is a fallout payment. No subtraction later.”
The four of them clashed over glasses as if to swear. In the meantime, another glass of wine quietly intervened. All four heads turned at the same time.
Jeong Ha-yeon said in a dissatisfied tone.
“Why do I take it off? I will too.”
Oh, that’s a bit
