Chapter 169 - Chapter 165: Episode 163 - Disappointment
While in the middle of a sexual encounter with 'Sophia', Seon-ah sensed someone entering the annex.
Judging by the rhythm of the footsteps, he guessed there were about three people.
Perhaps noticing the intruders, Sophia, who had been touching his penis, pulled her hand away.
Then, a voice rang out, delivering a massive shock to Seon-ah.
"Who the fuck are you people! This is trespassing! Get out right now!"
The voice came from the direction of Sophia, who had been touching him just a moment ago.
Seon-ah recognized it instantly.

"Lee... Lee Hyun-ah?... You're lying, right?..."
'I mistook Hyun-ah's touch for Sophia's?... This is fucking insane...'
It felt like a nightmare.
And a nightmare it was, far removed from any semblance of happiness.
The woman who had been sexually draining and tormenting him like a madwoman was none other than Lee Hyun-ah.
Seon-ah shouted to himself, his voice trembling with shock.
The way his hands were shaking betrayed the depth of his horror.
"Sophia... I'm sorry. I gave my body to another woman while leaving you behind..."
It was agonizing enough that his resolve to stay faithful to Sophia had been shattered by his own misunderstanding, but the fact that the woman was Lee Hyun-ah—the person he hated most after Yu-rin—was unbearable.
The realization that he had essentially handed his body over to her filled him with pure agony.
After Seon-ah sat in stunned silence, the voices of the trespassers reached him.
"Lee Seon-ah... I finally found you... Now I can finally repay my debt to you..."
The voice belonged to Miel.
"Miel?... I hadn't seen you since you disappeared from my house... Why... why are you here?"
Miel was the woman who had brainwashed him—the resentment toward her was deeply embedded—but when he hadn't been in his right mind, she was the one who had cared for him most devotedly.
Because of that, unlike with Yu-rin or Bianca, he felt a strange sense of gratitude toward her.
However, she didn't answer him.
She spoke to him in riddles, as if lost in a fantasy of her own.
"Seon-ah... you've had a hard time, haven't you?... How severely must Sophia have tormented you... I'll save you now... You'll get away from that bitch and reclaim a happy life... with me."
Seon-ah couldn't make sense of her words.
Although he sometimes thought Sophia's sexual demands were a bit excessive, it was nothing compared to what he had suffered at Miel's hands.
"Miel... what bullshit are you spouting? Sophia didn't hold me by force."
"Poor Seon-ah... to have been treated so harshly... No... maybe she brainwashed you. I have to take you away quickly."
Seon-ah, sickened by the madness dripping from Miel's muttering, turned deathly pale.
At that moment, a sigh came from beside Miel.
It was one of the other group members.
Bianca, knowing that Lee Yena was Seon-ah's daughter, decided to play a card.
"Seon-ah. You can ignore Miel for now. There is only one reason we're here... Lee Yena... your daughter is looking for you."
It was Bianca.
It was surprising that the succubus sisters were together, but the mention of Yena snapped Seon-ah's focus.
'To think I'd forgotten about my daughter while spending time with Sophia... Yena... I'm sorry.'
Seon-ah realized that because he had been in Sophia's arms for so long, quite a bit of time had passed since he last saw Yena.
Thinking of how lonely his daughter must have been, a wave of guilt washed over him.
And once the realization that Yena was in the hands of the women who had violated him registered, Seon-ah spoke in a trembling voice.
"Yena?... Where is she right now... You guys aren't holding her, are you?..."
His voice was thick with worry.
Bianca, hearing his fear, spoke as if the situation were a delightful game.
She realized he had mistaken them for kidnappers, and she decided to use that to her advantage so she wouldn't have to take him by force.
Thinking that a voluntary departure would be less of a hassle, Bianca began to spin lies.
"Well... if you don't follow willingly, you might never see her again, right?"
'If you don't escape the Demon King's clutches, you might never see her again, so it's not a lie... right, Seon-ah?'
Bianca wore a playful smile, convinced her lie was close enough to the truth.
Seon-ah found that smile incredibly unsettling.
'They've clearly taken Yena hostage... If I don't go with them, she's in danger...'
He connected the dots: they wanted him, and they had Yena.
He was certain she was being used as leverage.
"I'll follow you... just let me see Yena."
He didn't know what would happen to him if he went.
When they lived together, the tiger, Sophia, had kept watch over the foxes and the badger, Miel and Bianca.
Even if the tiger's gaze slipped for a moment, Bianca would violate him as she pleased.
He was terrified of what might happen without Sophia there to protect him, but he steeled himself for Yena's sake.
'No matter how much I have to endure, I'll hold on for Yena...'
He hoped to create a future where their daughter could join the happy life he shared with Sophia.
Thus, he prepared to follow them.
At that moment, Miel asked a question.
"Hey... Seon-ah?... Who is that woman behind you?..."
There was only one woman there.
Lee Hyun-ah.
She was the one who had been deceiving him, pretending to be Sophia.
Technically, he had made the mistake, but since she hadn't corrected him and instead tried to exploit it, her fault was far greater.
Seon-ah hesitated.
He didn't know how to describe their relationship.
Kidnapper-rapist and hostage? Or cousin and brother?... It was an awkward mess.
Hyun-ah spoke up for him.
"Lee Seon-ah is my personal sex slave. So, if you understand, I'd like you all to get lost."
Hyun-ah didn't like that they were ignoring her command to leave and were busy chatting with Seon-ah.
To spite them, she lied, framing her relationship with Seon-ah as a joke.
Then, he heard the three of them getting worked up.
"Personal sex slave?... Seon-ah?... "
"How should we kill her..."
"How did you... treat Lee Seon-ah?..."
The last voice was strange.
He knew there were three people.
Miel, Bianca, and someone else.
He'd assumed the third was a demon, but he was wrong.
The voice of the third person, who had been silent the whole time, was far too familiar.
It was a voice that shouldn't have been there.
"Yu-rin... Is Park Yu-rin here too?"
As Seon-ah panicked, Miel and Bianca went silent.
He couldn't read the atmosphere, but the silence confirmed it, and the trauma of his past with her flooded back.
The reason he had agreed to move houses the day after Yu-rin and Yu-ra visited was entirely because of his fear of her.
Even though he knew she couldn't see him, he was repulsed by her very existence.
No one answered him.
He felt Yu-rin, who shouldn't be able to hear him, rushing forward with a furious cry.
She brushed past Seon-ah and grabbed Hyun-ah by the throat.
Weakened, Hyun-ah couldn't react to the movements of a B-rank hunter like Yu-rin.
Hyun-ah's face turned bright red as she gasped for air.
"Cough, cough."
Yu-rin glared at her, grinding her teeth.
"Sorry, but I have to take this bitch too... Who are you calling a personal sex slave?... You won't die easily..."
The others didn't speak, but their silence signaled total agreement.
As Yu-rin squeezed harder, Hyun-ah went limp, fainting.
Yu-rin slung her over her shoulder like a sack of potatoes and stepped out the front door.
Bianca approached Seon-ah.
"Let's go now, Seon-ah. We have to go see Yena, right?"
As she gently took his hand, Seon-ah shuddered.
Knowing his eyes were injured, she guided him toward his daughter.
With her other hand, she fiddled with a medicine bottle in her pocket.
She looked like she couldn't wait to use it.
No one in the annex could have guessed what she was thinking, but the expression on her face said it all.
