Chapter 652 – 652. Five Women
Three hours.
After completing the training on top of the Empire State Building, I look at the clock.
11:59 PM Korean time. Finally, a day has passed.
This is the first time a day has been this long since the last time I brought Seunghee, Mina, and SeAh together.
As soon as the clock turned to 12 o’clock, I immediately teleported home.
I am a man who keeps his promises. This is basic.
As I open the door and go out, the loud smell of food welcomes me.
And five women. However… Wow!
“It’s pretty!”
My pure admiration.
And the five women all seem to be satisfied, as if those short words gave them the desired response.
Minhee, who clearly had makeup applied, and Seunghee, Mina, Se-Ah, and Anna, who received makeup.
“Do you like it?”
“Yes.”
Minhee asked quietly, and I nodded and approached Seunghee.
Seunghee. She was always a pretty girl. It’s just that they’re slightly underrated because of Mina and Anna.
Pale skin, sharp eyebrows, eye makeup, and red lips.
Also, it looks like you touched his head too?
“You look like a celebrity. It’s not a joke, is it?”
“Right? It was rewarding to wear makeup. Your style has completely changed, right?”
Seunghee’s mouth goes up when she hears Minhee, and I’s words. It’s a shrugging expression. It’s funny.
“Does it look okay?”
“Uh. You should be like this every day from now on. Even if you don’t put on makeup, a pretty girl puts on makeup… So.”
“But the real celebrities are here.”
Then Seunghee pointed to Mina and I looked at Mina.
Seunghee is right.
Definitely Mina… It catches the eye right away. Moreover, it looks familiar.
“Mina’s makeup was easy. You’ve seen her look a lot, right?”
Minhee is like a curator of some kind. Of course, that’s because I did my own makeup.
“That’s right. It feels like it just came out of the TV screen five years ago.”
“Hehe. I was surprised too. I think Minhee’s makeup skills are better than most makeup sisters.”
“I guess so. She’s pretty. After all, she’s this good, so she’s an idol.”
Mina looks very embarrassed. Is it foul if a pretty girl makes that kind of expression?
Mina is definitely the same as what you see on the walls of her agency.
Besides, Mina has now returned to her past body, right? Very…
Her eyes are dazzling.
If you take her like this, dress her in stage costumes, and do dirty things to her… Wow. It’s nice to just imagine.
Ah… Do you really want to try it? I think it’s a perfect idea, right?
“Maybe it’s because Mina is younger, but she doesn’t wear that much makeup. Look at her skin. She doesn’t even need to wear makeup. Oh, and Se-Ah too.”
Minhee pointed to Se-ah, and funny enough, Se-ah looked a little embarrassed.
“Hey. Why are you shy? Raise your head. Let’s take a closer look.”
“Ah. I guess she’s reasonably pretty, but why are you looking at me so closely?”
At the same time, Se-ah turns her head slightly.
“If you put on pretty makeup, you should show it off. Why hide it? Hide it.”
Then, when I put my hand on her to turn her face, she was startled and pushed my hand away.
“My makeup will come off! Don’t touch it!”
Seunghee, Mina, Anna, and Minhee laughing from the side.
And I laughed as well.
I guess this guy really liked his makeup. If you get this angry just because you touch it.
“So look. Let’s take a closer look.”
At my words, Se-ah looks at me, but she can’t help but look, and her eyes wander here and there.
“Ah. Just look at my eyes! Or maybe look at my nose or philtrum!”
Only then do the wandering eyes come together. She’s a funny guy anyway.
Se-ah, who already looks young, looked even younger when she put on makeup.
Bagel? It’s the perfect word. Glamor with a baby face.
Moreover, her hair, which was usually just long, is now slightly wavy.
Is this the curling iron or did you use that?
“You look great the way you look right now. And your hair too. Can’t you wear it like this on a regular basis?”
“It’s impossible… Makeup is too difficult…”
“No. At this level, it is right to learn. Learn. This is not the time for you to master skills.”
“But I want to do that too. Look at Anna… I want to put on makeup like that.”
I looked at Anna at Se-Ah’s words.
In fact, she saw Anna last because she was doing things in order… The first thing that caught my eye was that it didn’t show up.
“It was the most difficult. Because I couldn’t beat a face without makeup. But I think I succeeded at this level.”
I feel more proud than ever at Minhee’s words.
And Seunghee, Mina, and SeAh seem to have the same feelings.
It seems like he sincerely sympathizes with Minhee’s words.
As far as I know, no matter how pretty a woman is, if she compliments her, she feels a little envious or jealous.
Of course, there is a high probability that I am wrong. It’s not like I’ve been in women’s hearts.
But the women here don’t have that.
Rather than being jealous and envious, he seems to be in awe of Anna’s beauty and Minhee’s makeup.
“Minhee, you are really humble too. At this level, Anna’s beauty is just as beautiful, but shouldn’t you, who put on makeup, also be called a master?”
Seunghee, Mina, and SeAh nod their heads as if they agree with what I said.
And the expression he looks at Anna is exactly that. An expression that says, ‘Our Anna is the best!’
Anna is still crazy beautiful.
But on top of that, I got younger… The makeup was amazing.
I’m definitely not making a fuss.
If there is a man who looks at Anna now and doesn’t think she’s pretty, that bastard is gay. I can be sure.
“Am I okay? Sungcheol?”
“Ah. It’s complicated. I want to show it off to the world, but I also want to keep it hidden, and only I can see it.”
“That’s right! I think so too!”
Seunghee said and everyone laughed. Okay. Everyone probably has similar thoughts.
Jealousy and envy do not arise when dealing with beings outside the standard.
“Did you make them up like this just to show me?”
When I looked at Minhee and spoke to her, she responded with a smile.
“Is that so? Everyone was very interested. Besides, what kind of faces are so good for makeup? You’re the best match.”
“But was there this much cosmetics?”
“Ah. I learned regression. I became a Gate Master.”
“Really? I didn’t know.”
“So yesterday we all went out together and went to the department store. We brought cosmetics and… Various other things.”
And. Five women in a department store? It’s crazy. It’s dizzying just to imagine it.
“Uh… How many hours did it take to do all the shopping?”
“We went out after dinner last night and came back at 2 a.M.”
Seunghee’s words made me dizzy.
“It was nice to feel like a VVIP at the department store. I want to go again.”
“Let’s go again next time, Mina. I’ll often come.”
“Okay, sister. Next time, let’s focus on clothes. There aren’t too many summer clothes at the department store.”
“Really? When the world was like this, department stores mainly sold clothes for fall. If you go to the store instead of the department store, you will be able to find a lot of summer clothes. After all, when clothes return, they can all be used as they were.”
Minhee and Mina are having a very friendly conversation.
No, it’s not just Mina. Seung-hee, Se-ah, and Anna treat each other naturally as if they were the older sisters she always knew.
Also… Is this Minhee magic? Is that woman even capable of same-sex attraction?
“But… You shopped until 2 a.M.? Wow. I want to take a look at your storage. If you open it, don’t you think there’s an entire department store inside?”
It was said as a joke, but the five women had no answer.
“Uh… It was a joke, but why isn’t there an answer? No way?”
“Ah. That’s right. Let’s eat now! Let the food cool down!”
Seunghee quickly moves on to talking about food.
And everyone agrees with Seunghee’s words and takes me to the table.
Going crazy. I’m dying of laughter. It makes me wonder what happened yesterday.
Anyway, when I went to the table, I saw something very fancy.
“Wow. Why are there so many?”
“My sister prepared a lot of things. So I cooked a lot.”
Everyone laughs at Mina’s proud words.
What are they so happy about? No matter what you say, they startle.
Of course… It feels good to see everyone getting along so well in just one day.
I wasn’t that worried, but it still might not have happened.
Then I would have been in a very difficult position in the middle.
Anyway, we sit down and start eating.
Various types of meat dishes, fish dishes, grilled, stir-fried, steamed… Anyway, it is a very extravagant and sumptuous table.
“But, that’s what we talked about yesterday.”
Seunghee speaks while eating.
“What?”
“Shouldn’t we move our house?”
“Why?”
When I asked a puzzled question, Seunghee thought for a moment and then said.
“Hmm… Because there’s one more person living with me?”
At those words, Minhee smiles while eating.
Seunghee’s words clearly mean that she accepted Minhee.
And that means that Mina, Se-ah, and Anna also acknowledged it.
Minhee also agreed to that, right? Of course, Minhee will commute to and from the Ark… You can take care of that on your own.
“This place isn’t that small, is it?”
“Still.”
“Hmm… Really? Then, do you want to go to the big bunker? I have secured a bunker that can accommodate 50 people.”
Suwon Bunker. If it were there, these women would like it too.
There is a lot of free space and, above all, there are additional parts built by Daeho Group.
It’s an upgraded version of the bunker built under the park in Cheongpyeong or Suwon, right?
Moreover, there is also an artificial garden there. It’s big and flashy, so I think it’ll be perfect.
There are traces of use by the Daeho Group… That can be solved with a state regression.
You can turn it into a freshly made bunker.
“A bunker again? Can’t we be proud of being outside now?”
Everyone nods to Se-Ah’s words as if they are right.
“Is that so? That’s true. But isn’t the bunker good? There’s that sense of stability.”
“Yes, but now I want to live in a brighter place.”
Mina said and everyone nodded again.
Hmm… These guys are insensitive to safety. But. Guys like me like bunkers… Because not everyone likes this.
“Okay. Well… I’ll take a look. But to use state regression, I need to know the original state… I’m not sure if I can get it easily.”
“But Songcheol. You don’t plan on going into the ark?”
Anna looks at me and asks. Wow. It’s dazzling. I am dazzled by your beauty.
“Nothing.”
Everyone looks at me at my firm words.
“Because of state regression?”
“There is that, but there are other reasons as well.”
“Why?”
“Once you enter the ark, I cannot give you special treatment.”
Only Minhee looks like she understood what I said.
“Special treatment?”
“When you enter the ark, you become part of the ark. If I favor you, the people there might see you and feel left out or jealous. I can’t see that happening. The thing itself.”
After hearing what I said, Seunghee tilts her head and asks.
“What do you think? It’s not that you don’t like it because you can’t give it special treatment. Of course, you will give it special treatment, but you don’t like the problems that come from doing so?”
“Isn’t it obvious?”
“You’re a strange oppa. Really.”
I say that and shrug my shoulders. The same goes for Mina and SeAH.
Only Minhee smiled with a strange expression.
“Songcheol. Then can’t I go see Yujeong? Hayul too?”
“Um… That is.”
“I’ll bring them here sometimes. We can meet outside instead of here, right?”
As Minhee spoke, Anna’s expression brightened. And Anna looks at me as if asking for her permission.
“That doesn’t matter. Yoo-jeong’s sister-in-law is not a soft-spoken person. But it’s not okay in her current state. We can’t even talk about a return to the state.”
“Wow!”
Anna likes me like a child. A smile that makes the viewer happy.
However… I gave permission, but I’m not very willing.
Because it feels like the boundaries I’ve maintained like a sword are collapsing.
Dam. After all, this is also like a dam.
Since Minhee has become an exception, there is no turning back for her, but if exceptions and special cases arise one by one like this, eventually it will not be possible to handle it all.
I don’t like things that get mixed and cloudy like that.
Of course, mixing may not be a problem.
However, rather than hoping that problems will not arise after mixing, it is better not to mix in the first place.
That’s my way of thinking. Either 0 or 100. It is too risky to expect and hope for something based on probability.
After finishing the meal, Minhee said she was going back, and the four women in Seungmi’s face looked genuinely disappointed.
Especially SeAH. He is strangely friendly towards Minhee. Actually, he’s the same to Mina and Anna.
Do you like women as much as you dislike men? Hmm… I’m not sure.
“I’ll come often visit.”
“No. I can’t come often. Furthermore, I come every day. Right after work.”
“Thank you. I’m so grateful to be welcomed like this.”
Meanwhile, Min-hee hugs Se-ah. Looking at her like that, she seems like mother and daughter.
Yikes. Is it rude to Minhee?
Anyway, Minhee returned to the ark after receiving such a warm welcome.
I’m really glad that things worked out well. With this, another burden has been relieved from my heart.
