## Chapter 161 – The Punishment for Eavesdroppers (1)
“Kyaa…!♥ If you’re so rough… my *ssy gets all wet…♥”
Knowing Chaeri’s tone, which was somewhat distant from kindness or gentleness,
In-yeong found it hard to believe it was Chaeri even after hearing those vulgar and lewd words.
But that slightly lower tone with a hint of softness.
No matter how much aegyo and coyness were mixed in,
It was definitely Chaeri’s voice, the voice In-yeong had heard thousands and thousands of times.
“Kkeueueueueuk…!!!”
Just what kind of amazing and wonderful guy was he,
To make her, the senior she had been one-sidedly in love with for over two years, call him master?
As if a volcano was about to erupt, steam billowed from her head,
And she began to bite her fingers instead of her already torn lips.
“By the way… doesn’t it feel like someone’s eavesdropping next door?
It feels like they’re incredibly jealous and biting their lips.”
‘Huh…?’
But those words from Chaeri immediately stopped her movements and made her heart drop.
‘What… what is it…? Have I already been caught tailing them…?’
As if she already knew she was being followed,
In-yeong put down her bitten hand and began to pace anxiously around the room.
‘I have to get out of here right away… that’s the only way to avoid getting caught…!’
If she were caught in the act of stalking, she would undoubtedly be treated as a stalker,
So she had to get out of there and eliminate any evidence.
In-yeong, who had been stomping her feet, quickly grabbed the room’s key card,
And grabbed the handle of the hotel room door, which wasn’t even closed properly, to get out of the hotel.
“Kkeueueu….”
No matter how hard she tried to open it, the door only opened a crack and wouldn’t open any further.
“What… what’s wrong? This is weird…?”
When the door wouldn’t open forward as if it was blocked by something,
In-yeong thought that the door was not moving because the door stop was down.
But even when she looked outside through the peephole in the door, there was nothing blocking the door,
And the door stop was not down but properly folded.
‘Wait a minute… it feels like I can’t put any strength in my arm…’
In-yeong only then realized that her arm wasn’t moving properly when she tried to open the door.
Otherwise, there was no explanation for why the door wouldn’t open.
“Looks like you’re panicking because the door won’t open?”
At that moment, a man’s voice was heard from beyond the door.
“Wh-who are you?”
In-yeong was startled and took her hand off the doorknob, stepping back a few steps,
And cautiously peered through the slightly open crack to see who it was.
– Squeakㅡ
But there was no need to do so, as the owner of the voice opened the door wide with someone,
And stepped into the suite where In-yeong was standing.
“Y-you guys…!”
The ones who stepped into the room were the two people from In-yeong’s next room.
Siyoon, who was playing the role of Team Leader Hajaeyoon, and Chaeri, who had half of her shirt buttons undone.
“I thought you had left work… what brings you to the hotel?”
“That’s right. You don’t have any business trips scheduled,
And there’s no reason for you to stay in a hotel suite near the Federation headquarters.”
In-yeong was flustered and couldn’t even speak properly, only stepping back.
The two of them looked at In-yeong and began to question why she was in the next room.
From a position where she felt something suspicious about Chaeri and was tailing her to find out something,
She was now in a position of being questioned instead.
“J-just! Sometimes I want to stay in a nice room like this too!
Why! Th-there’s even a word for it… staycation! Isn’t there?”
“Ah… I see.”
Siyoon nodded as if he understood, unexpectedly.
Chaeri didn’t seem to think much of it and just clung to Siyoon’s arm.
“But… why are you staying right next to our room of all places?”
“Th-that’s what I want to ask you!
Why is it the room next to mine of all places? And with two people!”
In-yeong, who was giving Siyoon a suspicious look again, instead threw a counter-question.
“Ah… I see you were curious about that?
So you came to stay in the next room to spy on us?”
Chaeri lightly parried In-yeong’s counterattack with a playful smile.
Instead, she was caught having come to the next room to spy on their relationship.
“There’s no way! Why would I care what Secretary Han does?
I’m not curious about my subordinates’ private lives at all.”
In-yeong turned away with a look of displeasure.
But that didn’t mean Chaeri and Siyoon would step aside.
“Ah… so that’s why you’re sweating so much… and your lips are bleeding from biting them…,
You left work as soon as you could to follow your subordinate and come to this expensive suite?”
“I told you, that’s not it! It’s just a coincidence!”
As the playful questions continued despite her showing her anger,
In-yeong waved her arms back and forth, protesting that it wasn’t true.
Siyoon smiled kindly, closed the slightly open room door,
And naturally sat down on the sofa in the room, continuing the conversation.
“Iron Maiden-nim suspected Team Leader Chaeri and came to spy on her.
What do you think is the reason why we are so clearly convinced of this fact?”
“That’s just a stretch. Isn’t it possible that it was just a coincidence?
And why are you sitting here as you please when I’m the one who paid for this room!”
“Ah… I apologize if I was being rude.
I just thought it would be a bit of a long story to tell while standing in front of the door.”
In fact, In-yeong didn’t care much about Siyoon sitting on the sofa,
What bothered In-yeong much more was that Chaeri was smiling brightly while clinging to his arm.
“Anyway! It’s just a coincidence, so please leave right away. I want to rest comfortably.”
“Hmm… I’m afraid that’s going to be difficult.”
Siyoon and Chaeri didn’t budge even when she told them to leave.
They didn’t even flinch even when In-yeong gestured for them to leave.
“Haha…♥ Ahahahat…♥”
They were just looking at In-yeong and giggling.
“Why is Secretary Han keep laughing! Team Leader Jaeyoon too!
I’m going to call the hotel front desk if you don’t leave. Please leave quickly.”
In-yeong seemed unable to understand why the two of them were laughing at her.
But there was a reason why Chaeri and Siyoon couldn’t help but laugh at her.
“Would you like to… take a look in the mirror for a moment?”
Siyoon pointed to the full-length mirror on the opposite side of where In-yeong was standing.
In-yeong turned around to look in the mirror with a puzzled expression.
“Why are you doing th…?
…Kyaaaa…?!! Wh-what is it…!!!”
The white shirt and suit pants she had been wearing just a moment ago were gone,
And In-yeong was in her underwear, striking a vulgar pose.
In-yeong was startled by her appearance and tried to cover her face,
But for some reason, her body remained frozen and didn’t move at all.
[ Applying body manipulation to target: ‘Iron Maiden’ Yoo In-yeong. ]
Siyoon applied a body manipulation command in an instant that In-yeong couldn’t even notice,
Making her strike a vulgar *ssy dance pose in her underwear.
As a result, her arm didn’t move when she tried to open the door earlier,
And even now, In-yeong couldn’t move a single finger even if she tried to change her pose.
“Why… why am I doing this? Is this your doing?!!”
In-yeong’s face turned red with embarrassment.
She was mortified to be showing such a vulgar pose,
Especially to her subordinate, whom she had been secretly crushing on.
“Haha… I just played a little prank because you wouldn’t tell me honestly.
Controlling other people’s bodies as I please… is the power of my ability.”
“Hehe… that’s a really cool ability…♥”
Siyoon looked down at In-yeong with a haughty attitude and even grabbed Chaeri’s chest.
Chaeri ridiculed In-yeong and completely unbuttoned her shirt so that Siyoon could touch her comfortably.
‘How did I end up doing something like this…!’
Not only was a prominent figure like an S-class hero being humiliated like this,
But she was even being ridiculed by someone she had been secretly crushing on.
Iron Maiden was so angry that her teeth were grinding to the point of breaking,
But she slowly calmed herself down and glared at Siyoon, warning him.
“If you stop this prank you’re playing now… I’ll let it go quietly without saying a word.
If not… you should be prepared for what you’re going to go through.”
“Ah. Are you perhaps thinking of throwing the fork and knife over there at me?
You can control metal objects, can’t you?”
But Siyoon continued to caress Chaeri’s chest with a very relaxed expression,
Revealing that he even knew about In-yeong’s ability.
‘He knows exactly about my ability too…,
That guy… doesn’t seem like an ordinary guy.’
In-yeong was convinced that Siyoon and Chaeri’s actions were not just a simple prank to make fun of her.
Thinking that she had to show them a lesson to stop this,
She began to look for metal objects, including the fork and knife that Siyoon had mentioned.
‘Two forks and two knives each… it’ll be enough to cut their eyes and ankles.’
In just a few seconds, she calculated the trajectory and speed of each fork and knife,
And focused her mind, fixing her eyes on Siyoon’s body.
‘Why is this happening…? Just because I can’t move my body doesn’t mean I can’t use my ability…?’
But the forks and knives didn’t fly quickly towards Siyoon,
They didn’t even cause the slightest vibration and remained still on the table.
“Ah. But it’s probably impossible to throw the fork and knife.
I’m controlling In-yeong-ssi so that she can’t use her ability.”
