Chapter 243

〈 Chapter 243 〉 Part 1, Chapter 11, Section 13

At the moment Phoenix was cheering up Seok Harang.

At Chun Gaeul’s residence in Seoul, another pajama party was underway.

“Hiccup, waaah.”

It was less of a pajama party and more of a drinking session to console a heartbroken young lady.

Hugging a bottle of red wine worth hundreds of thousands of won, the blond lunatic Yun Yuhwa was sniffling drunkenly.

“Hey, lunatic. Stop it already. You look ridiculous.”

Gaeul, her face slightly flushed, nudged Yuhwa’s waist with her foot to get her up. But Yuhwa just dissolved into loud sobs.

“What am I going to do…! If Customer doesn’t like me anymore!”

“I’d have been abandoned long ago if just a small thing made someone dislike me.”

“But I pushed them too hard…!”

Yuhwa was drowning in her own worries and couldn’t surface. Gaeul grabbed her aching head and sat on the sofa by Yuhwa’s bedside.

The room was already filled with all kinds of alcohol.

“So this is all the liquor Master Light Blade gave you…”

“Waaah, it’s useless now. I was so happy thinking I had gained an S-Rank, no SS-Rank talent in Master Light Blade, but then Customer took him back. Waaah.”

“You lost Blue Wind Sect too, so not much different right?”

“Waaah, but I was trying to coexist with Customer! But Customer… waaah, just ran away like a coward…!”

Yuhwa kicked the sofa as if swimming with her legs.

“Isn’t that too much? He’s ignoring me now that he has a new girl.”

“You finally understand how I felt when I first met you. This will happen often from now on.”

Gaeul drank straight from the wine bottle while mocking herself. Yuhwa glared at Gaeul.

“You have it easy. There are plenty of people who say you’re good.”

“Well, you’re different from me, what with your image being completely trashed, you lunatic.”

Gaeul giggled and raised her hand.

“Let’s see… Lee Seung-hyung still has 100% lingering feelings for me.”

“That’s excessive self-awareness. Does Lee Seung-hyeng really pine that much?”

“What? Even if I play hard to get, if I give him a chance he’ll waver, right? It’s just that I don’t care about Lee Seung-hyung and favor Phoenix instead. Pfft.”

“Tch. Now that you’re S-Rank, you’re so full of yourself…!”

Yuhwa grumbled despite being drunk. Despite being a doll, her wild behavior clearly showed her true emotions being forced into the lunatic doll.

“Ah, I want to be S-Rank too!”

“This is why you’ve turned your doll into a garbage can for emotions. What about your other dolls? Where’s the main body?”

“Other dolls?”

Yuhwa counted on her fingers.

“Eun Jae-min is processing company documents now, Black Market Chairman is doing under-the-table deals with external companies, and Eun Ha-su Chairman is… hiccup.”

Yuhwa hugged the wine bottle and chuckled drunkenly.

“The main body is working now. To win back Customer’s love, I need to fix this mistake.”

“You really are something else, you know that?”

“Thank you for the compliment! It’s the highest praise for a lunatic.”

“So what are you planning to do?”

Seung-hyung’s voice, which had been overly excited, quieted down. Yuhwa also calmly revealed her thoughts in a subdued tone.

“First, I’m definitely establishing Yuhwa University. The semester will start in September. We just need to secure the faculty now.”

“Hey, is there a theater department? Make a professor position for me.”

“You’re such a bad actress, no way, hiccup.”

“…This coming from someone whose mouth never shuts.”

Gaeul put down the bottle and pounced on Yuhwa.

“Do you want to properly taste my wrath? Huh? Are you making fun of my age?”

“A- no! It’s true that your acting skills aren’t great!”

“Hey! My last career drama was a national hit with over 40% ratings!”

“That’s all because of Lee Seung-hyeng’s fans! I know because I sponsored it! I spent millions covering for you when people criticized your acting online!”

“That’s very kind of you!”

Gaeul huffed and backed off. She did use quite a lot of resources in Yoo Sung after all.

“It was originally propaganda made for Lee Seung-hyeng anyway. An A-Rank special ability actor! And such a handsome mask-wearing pretty boy! Ugh, why didn’t you stick to flirting with him instead of trying to flirt with Customer too.”

“Mother! Do you know how clingy he is to me? Should I replay everything that happened in Gwanak?”

“I already memorized it word for word hearing it so many times. Tsk, you have it good. With the top national rich and powerful man and the actual highest power in China loving you.”

“Hey. Speak properly. Does Mo Taegyeong even like me? Are you trying to die? It’s Hwanryong who likes me.”

Gaeul flicked her hair with her finger and lifted her chin arrogantly.

“It’s because my illusion magic talent is top-notch. I didn’t become S-Rank for nothing, you know?”

“Tch. Someone can’t even find one yet… Ah, sister.”

Yuhwa knelt earnestly on the sofa with a serious expression.

“Is it true that breasts grow when you reach S-Rank?”

“Who told you that?”

“Customer did.”

“Yeah, it’s true. They grew a bit.”

Gaeul sat up straight and proudly displayed her chest. Maybe because she was alone with Yuhwa and both were tipsy, her actions were uninhibited.

“Don’t you think sister’s acting skills match this impressive figure? Forget about it, remember? When I broke 60% ratings per minute in the swimming pool scene.”

“And the number of jealous women cursing online increased dozens of times too. I worked so hard to remove those comments, sigh.”

Yuhwa reached out her hand below Gaeul’s chest with a serious expression.

“Sister, I’m really sorry but can I feel it once?”

“Do you want to touch this? This?”

“The G-cup admired by all women, please let me feel it once.”

“…I’m not G-cup.”

Gaeul covered her mouth with her hand, embarrassed, and cleared her throat.

“They grew a bit when I became S-Rank… My waist got smaller too.”

“Damn.”

“Don’t call me a lunatic so casually.”

“…Sorry. You’re just too amazing.”

Yuhwa drooled as she buried her face in Gaeul’s bosom. Her alcohol-laden breath warmed Gaeul’s nightgown, gently heating her chest.

“Sigh, you really have it good… I don’t envy anything else about you except your figure.”

“Weren’t you jealous before?”

“Sister, when it’s this overwhelmingly superior, it’s beyond jealousy. Hmph… H? I?”

“…You’re better off not knowing.”

Gaeul felt a little fear seeing Yuhwa’s unfocused eyes. But Yuhwa wouldn’t stop indulging in the mysteries of Gaeul’s body.

“Sister, tell me honestly. What size are you? Your bras aren’t listed among the items supplied to Seoul.”

“Umm…”

Gaeul broke a sweat. Though tempted to hide the truth, she decided to tell it straight having seen too many cases where lying backfired.

Not that it’s honey or anything.

“Phoenix measures and makes them.”

“AAAAAAH!!”

Yuhwa screamed into Gaeul’s chest.

“What, what?! Measures sizes?! How?!”

“…Uses magic to precisely measure the body or something.”

“Then Customer knows my third size too?!”

Yuhwa’s face turned bright red. But Gaeul couldn’t understand Yuhwa’s embarrassment.

“What’s there to be surprised about now? They said they had seven children with you before the regression.”

“That’s Future Yuhwa, not Present Yuhwa!”

“That’s true. Just like I’m Phantom and not Masquerade.”

Recalling the illusionary figure she met during her awakening.

“…I’m much younger and have a better figure. Hmm, victory for 2020 Chun Gaeul.”

“Damn it, that’s due to spirit essence. Because of Hwanryong. Tch, AAAH! I want to meet a lightning element spirit and keep it by my side toooo!”

Yuhwa continued wildly thrashing while burying her face in Gaeul’s chest.

“Yeah, yeah. Understandable since you’re drunk. If you did this sober, you’d be dead.”

Gaeul patted Yuhwa’s back to calm her down. But Yuhwa, who had consumed all the dozens of bottles of wine left by Light Blade to woo him, showed no signs of calming down.

“HICCUP! I want love too! I’m tired of just making money!”

“…Should’ve let that kid hear this. Right?”

“HICCUP, hiccup! Sister, I was so scared of messing things up with Customer back then, HICCUP!!”

Yuhwa, still a sensitive 22-year-old young lady.

At that moment, in the Yoo Sung family mansion in New Seoul.

“……”

Eun Yuhwa (main body), who was modifying the admission guidelines for Yoo Ha University in the study, covered her face with her hands in embarrassment.

“Why are you like this? You don’t look well.”

Bak Sang-woo, who was assisting nearby, worried about the chairman’s unusual expression but stepped back slightly.

“……Nothing. Just feeling a bit shy about sending Eun Jae-min to the bathroom.”

“Ah. ……You work hard. Truly.”

Sang-woo respected and admired Yuhwa who took on the heavy responsibility of the massive Yoo Sung group at such a young age.

“As you requested, I subtly passed the admission guidelines to ‘Yuinah’.”

“If she really tries to take the exam, subtly share materials with her. Let me know if she tries to use the Customer’s free pass privilege.”

“Understood. Then I shall take my leave.”

Sang-woo quickly exited the study. Yuhwa reclined in her chair, raising her hands slightly to touch the air.

“…I cup? Insane….”

Though she might say divine things in public, privately feelings of inadequacy and jealousy quietly bubbled up.

“Not only am I being outdone by Customer, now Chun Gaeul too, sigh, I’m really, speechless.”

Yuhwa’s gaze dropped. The difference between herself and Chun Gaeul was obviously overwhelming, not even worth comparing.

“…Harang said she grew a bit when reaching SS-Rank too.”

Yuhwa’s eyes gleamed with murderous intent.

“Hmph… I’ll find a lightning element spirit by any means necessary, really. What was it? Gaechonkwang Karna…?”

Yuhwa connected all dolls except the lunatic one who was fondling enemies and investigating bodies to the global network, pretending to be drunk.

“If I find a clue before Customer does…! I can make up for this mistake…!”

Unfortunately.

Yuhwa couldn’t find any trace of Karna no matter where she searched in the world.

“AAAHH! My chest feels like it’s tearing apart with pain…!”

Eun Yuhwa.

Possessing everything in the world except for two things.

* * *

“In any case, these brats who have nothing are excessive.”

Gaeul stroked the sleeping lunatic doll of Yuhwa as the connection to the main body was cut.

“Looks just like a real doll like this.”

Gaeul checked the status of Yuhwa’s lunatic doll by poking it with her fingers. It was the time when the main body was asleep, and Yuhwa was deeply asleep with her face buried in Gaeul’s chest.

“You must be going crazy with envy, huh?”

While you’re unconscious, Gaeul lamented while tidying Yuhwa’s hair.

“I envy you to death too, kid.”

Surely Yuhwa understands her true feelings. Not just Yuhwa, but Gaeul was also intoxicated with alcohol.

“You can at least actively do something… Stand equally beside him.”

A subordinate who receives unilateral orders.

Partners who look at each other from relatively equal positions where conflicts of opinion may occur.

“I’d prefer the latter.”

Rather than just standing by watching, Gaeul desired to look at each other on the same level as Eun Yuhwa, like ‘he’.

“…Not that I’ll cause chaos like you.”

Gaeul glanced down at her chest where Yuhwa’s face was buried and smirked.

“How much bigger will it get when reaching SS-Rank…?”

Will it exceed triple digits? Gaeul used Yuhwa as a pillow and fell asleep. Imagining herself looking at each other on the same level as Phoenix someday.
