## Chapter 234 – Side Story 5 – Ryokan Date With Chaeryeong (1)
***
Following Dohwa’s pregnancy after a date at the amusement park, Siyoon impregnated Jiwoo after playing at the arcade and then spending time at a hotel-style couple PC room.
“Ugh…”
Perhaps because he kept waking up early to go on dates with the two of them, Siyoon now woke up automatically after 7 AM without needing his smartphone alarm.
‘At this point… I think I’ve gotten used to waking up early…’
Still rubbing his half-closed eyes, he stirred in bed.
‘What is it…? It feels like something’s pressing down on me…’
For some reason, Siyoon couldn’t easily get up, as if something heavy was pressing down on him.
“Ah.”
He widened his eyes a bit more and lifted his head, finally understanding the reason.
“Funyaaam… Uuuuhm…”
The reason he couldn’t get up was because Chaeryeong was sleeping on top of the blanket covering him. Not in pajamas, but in her underwear.
‘She’s sleeping so soundly… Is it okay to wake her up?’
Realizing the situation, Siyoon scratched his head, debating whether to wake the soundly sleeping Chaeryeong. In the end, he decided to carefully pull out only his legs.
‘If I do this… only my legs will come out, and Chaeryeong will stay asleep…!’
He carefully pulled out his right leg, leaving only his left leg behind. But then…
“Uuuuhng… Ungnyaat…?”
“Ah.”
The knee of his left leg brushed against Chaeryeong’s face as it passed by, and Chaeryeong perked up her ears and slowly lifted her head.
“Nyaaaaah…!”
Even after lifting her head, she didn’t seem fully awake, dozing off for a moment before stretching her arms forward and arching her back, striking a cat-like pose.
“Good morning… Master…♥”
“Oh… good morning.”
Unlike Siyoon, who was surprised to see Chaeryeong sleeping on top of him, Chaeryeong wasn’t surprised at all to wake up on top of Siyoon and see his face.
“Um… since when have you been sleeping in my room?”
“Because today is the day I get to go on a date with Master…, I started sleeping with Master right after 12 o’clock!”
Chaeryeong, not wanting to waste even a minute of her time alone with Siyoon, had secretly entered his room to sleep as soon as it turned 12.
“So that’s why…”
Siyoon finally understood why Chaeryeong had been sleeping on top of him and began to pet her head as if she were a pet, as she rubbed her head against his chest.
As he stroked her head, Chaeryeong seemed to feel good, perking up her ears and raising her tail straight up, wagging it lightly from side to side.
“So… what kind of date did Chaeryeong prepare for today?”
“Nyaa! Today, I’m going to take Master to a hot spring.”
After rubbing her head against Siyoon, she pressed her hands together on his chest and then searched for the date location on her smartphone, showing it to him.
“I thought these were only in Japan… there’s a place like this in Korea too?”
“Nyaa! It was on a YouTube video as a good place for a winter date.”
What Chaeryeong showed him was a hot spring hotel designed like a local Japanese ryokan.
It was a hotel where you could enjoy a private hot spring while admiring the beautiful winter mountain scenery, and be treated to luxurious cuisine and drinks in a tatami-mat room.
About 10 years ago, hot spring water with effective ingredients was discovered while digging for nearby construction, and the construction plan for the building was changed to create a tourist attraction with a strong Japanese feel.
“It’s about a two-hour drive from here, and check-in is at 2 PM…, so we can slowly leave around 11 AM.”
The calculation was that they could leave around 11 AM, so considering the time to shower and get ready, they needed to start moving around 10 AM.
“But it’s not even 8 AM yet.”
He had become accustomed to waking up early due to his diligent dating with the girls, and today, there were still more than two hours left until departure.
“Should I… just lie down a bit more?”
Instead of finding something else to do with the remaining time before leaving for the hot spring hotel, Siyoon chose to go back under the covers and cuddle with Chaeryeong, touching her ears and head.
“Nyaaaa…! Chyuuururut…♥”
Then, Chaeryeong wagged her tail and slowly climbed back onto Siyoon’s body, starting to lick his face with her rough cat tongue.
“I knew it… she’s no different from a real cat. Except for the fact that her breasts and butt are so violently big.”
As a slave with the Slave Skill ‘Catgirl,’ she always showed off her tail and ears unless she was meeting other people outside.
And one of her particularly special features was her rough tongue, which had just licked Siyoon’s face.
A cat’s tongue is actually used to groom fur and prepare prey, and it also has a good function in regulating body temperature.
Chaeryeong only needed to brush her hair and tail, so it wasn’t particularly necessary, but she maintained the cat-like shape because Siyoon reacted favorably when she licked his face.
Until the preparation time for leaving for the hot spring hotel approached, the two continued to spend time touching each other’s bodies inside the thick winter blanket.
***
After a long time of cuddling, the time to leave for the hot spring hotel approached, and Siyoon, as always, put on simple yet neat clothes and waited for Chaeryeong to come out.
“Did she go to the bathroom? It’s taking longer than I thought.”
Knowing that women usually take much longer to prepare to go out than men, Siyoon often waited a few minutes when going out, taking that into account.
However, Chaeryeong was taking longer to prepare than usual and still hadn’t come out even after waiting longer.
– Creakㅡ
“Nyaa!”
Then, suddenly, the front door in front of Siyoon burst open, and Chaeryeong, already fully dressed and ready, surprised Siyoon and played a prank.
“Jeez… did you go out through another door on purpose?”
The reason Chaeryeong hadn’t come out even after waiting longer than usual was because she had gone out the back door in the direction of the hideout warehouse to play a prank, going around in a circle.
“Hehe… I wanted to play a prank once.”
Chaeryeong’s fashion today was quite hip and urban.
Unlike her usual preference for loose and cute styles of clothing, she was wearing a tight red sweater, black pants, and a leather jacket.
In fact, it was because of her identity as a cat after becoming a slave that she dressed that way, but before that, she had mastered various fashions from airy dresses to hipster-style outfits.
‘I don’t think I’ve ever seen her wear clothes like that before… it suits her well.’
Siyoon thought that it suited Chaeryeong well enough, nodding at her unexpected appearance and taking her hand to go outside.
***
Considering the heavy snowfall the day before, Chaeryeong and Siyoon didn’t take the car in the hideout garage, but instead used the high-speed train that could take them near their destination.
“As expected, when it snows like this… it’s good to take something comfortable like a train or taxi.”
Afterwards, they took a taxi from the train station and arrived in front of their destination, the hot spring hotel.
“Nyaa! Just looking at the entrance of the building, it really feels like we’ve come to Japan.”
“Right? It really looks exactly like what you see in manga or dramas.”
As they climbed the low stone steps, they saw an entrance that looked as if a local ryokan had been moved there, and a staff member wearing a yukata greeted them as they passed through the entrance.
“Welcome.”
The female staff member with a gentle impression greeted the two with a welcoming smile in the lobby, confirmed their reservation, and briefly explained how to use the facilities.
“I will guide you to the place where you will be staying today.”
Then, she took Siyoon and Chaeryeong directly to the room and introduced the interior facilities.
“This is… the room where you will be staying.”
The biggest feature of this hotel was its appearance, which was like a local ryokan that had been moved there.
A spacious room with a serene and luxurious feel, welcome desserts placed on the table, and a private hot spring where you could view the snowy scenery outside.
“Oh…”
Siyoon and Chaeryeong kept turning their heads as if they were amazed to actually see such a place.
“If you have any questions or inconveniences, please feel free to contact the front desk at any time.”
After explaining about the room, the staff member handed over a key with a tag indicating the room number, instead of the card keys used by most hotels.
Then, she quietly retreated out of the room without making a sound.
“Nyaaaa…! This is so delicious!”
As soon as the staff member went outside, she took out her hidden ears and tail again and immediately ran towards the welcome dessert placed on the table.
She sipped the warm green tea that was subtly steaming, then put a strawberry-filled mochi in her mouth and munched on it.
“Seriously… my girls are all the same when it comes to having a good appetite.”
Siyoon poked Chaeryeong’s cheeks, which had become puffy like a squirrel’s, with his finger, then chuckled unintentionally and took a sip of green tea.
