I Became a Scoundrel of a Chaebol Family-Chapter 223

On the second day of the new year, January 2nd, 2077, a Saturday, I greeted the day after a night spent in passionate embrace with Go Minyeong.

Following yesterday's New Year's celebration, from today until tomorrow, there's a massive meeting with tens of thousands of executives to decide the future of the group. The agenda set during this time could dictate the fate of Asia for the next year, making it an essential meeting that Vice Chairwoman Go Minyeong could not miss.

As a result, she had to leave the room early in the morning, almost without having slept.

Before leaving, she pressed her lips to my cheek. Already dressed in her suit, she held her lips to my cheek longer than a simple peck would warrant.

There might even be a heavy lipstick mark left on my cheek.

"Ah, it's such a pity. I'll miss this." "We'll see each other again soon." "I hope so..."

Even after she lifted her lips from my cheek, she continued to gaze at me for a long time. Just 20 minutes earlier, we had been entwined in heated movement, and now I had to send her away. My sense of loss was profound.

This time, I kissed her forehead. She responded with a pleased smile and kissed the other cheek, and then I kissed the bridge of her nose. We continued this exchange for a while, but I had to stop before things reignited. freeweɓnøvel.com

"I'll be back." "If you get too tired, come back for a rest." "Heh, sure."

I watched her leave with a feeling akin to sending off a spouse. The moment the door closed, the warmth of the room turned cold.

Ah. Is this what they call "loneliness"?

I reveled briefly in the chilly atmosphere before diving back under the covers.

"...It's damp."

Traces of our rollicking fun with Go Minyeong were all over the bed. Despite having showered, I couldn't bring myself to leave the bed just yet, tired as I was.

It's time for me to sleep too. After nearly two days without proper rest, all because of our escapades, I fell into a deep sleep as soon as I closed my eyes.

...

A familiar voice reached me through the haze. "...It's me."

What? What's going on?

"...You there?"

Is someone calling me?

"Wake up, damn it."

Slap.

???? Who slapped my face?

I jolted upright, my cheek slightly stinging, but more than that, I was shocked by the voice I shouldn't be hearing.

"Ha, you're so damn lazy."

"...?"

Go Minji was smirking with her arms crossed at the foot of the bed, Go Hayan was reading at the desk, and Go Seonyul was lounging on the sofa with her phone.

"How long do you plan on sleeping?" "What...?"

I couldn't grasp the situation. Why am I here? No, why are they here?

'What the hell? Did I move, or did my sisters barge in??'

I scanned the room quickly. If this was the same room where I had been with Go Minyeong, and the maids hadn't cleaned up in the meantime, then it should still be a mess.

But it was spotless.

'A different room...?'

Then the only explanation was that my sisters had moved me to another room. But why? And how??

"Look at that flushed face, so damn funny." "...What's going on? Why am I here?" "What do you mean? I brought you here." "...." "I saw you were still sleeping, so I carried you here in the bed, but you kept on sleeping." "No."

Are they saying they just barged into my room and kidnapped me while I was asleep?

"You're so oblivious, you wouldn’t even notice if you were actually kidnapped? Be more careful~." "..."

Go Minji laughed as if she found it amusing. She had that look of someone who might actually try to kidnap someone for real one day.

"Is it really okay to just barge into someone's room like this...." "Someone's room? Hey, we're not strangers." "..."

Go Minji leaned forward after saying that, whispering in my ear.

"I went to mom’s room, but you were there, I was surprised~♥."

"Ah." "How much did you guys go at it? Pervert. The smell of semen was practically vibrating. I thought I was going to get pregnant just from the smell♥."

"...."

"How could you make the maids clean up that mess~♥?"

Go Minji straightened up after her whisper.

"Stop grumbling and go take a shower. You smell like sweat."

What on earth is this....

Perplexed but needing a moment to myself, I stepped into the bathroom, leaving the bed where traces of my night with Go Minyeong were still evident. It was a bit awkward to leave it all behind, but I chose to trust Go Minji.

Surely, she wouldn't deliberately spread rumors about Minyeong and me. After all, it involved her mother's honor.

"Right, there's a meeting today."

While the adults discussed the future of the group and Asia, the sisters gathered separately to strengthen their bonds. Naturally, being here meant I was included in their plans.

'Have we actually bonded during this time? It hardly seems like it.'

Go Minji, Go Hayan, along with Go Minyeong and Go Hayoung—it seemed impossible that any real camaraderie could exist between them.

"Really, they should just say something if there's an issue instead of dragging people around like this. Tch."

Grumbling to myself, I lathered up my stubborn arousal with shower foam. If this were my own mansion, I could have called for Suah or the secretaries to help out in the bathroom. It was a shame the sisters were around, preventing it.

After slathering myself with bubbles, I rinsed off.

Then, just then,

Click.

"?"

Barely audible over the sound of water ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) was the tiny noise of a camera shutter. I almost missed it.

"Did I hear that wrong?"

I doubted myself for a moment, but it couldn't be. I definitely heard a camera. A half-beat later, the sound of the bathroom door closing followed.

Someone had definitely opened the door and taken a photo of me.

'...'

If there was anyone who would do such a thing...

"Ha, it has to be Go Minji."

The only ones in the house were Go Minji, Go Hayan, and Go Seonyul. Naturally, Minji was the likely culprit.

She really goes to all lengths. Would she really go this far with her cousin?

"Going as far as taking secret photos. What next, some weird revenge? It's unbelievable."

After all, how could I not choose her daughter over her? How could I defy the Vice Chairwoman? That had to be acknowledged.

And if you're going to do something, at least be smart about it. Why make it so obvious? Was she trying to get caught on purpose?

"Ugh, seriously."

Seething with irritation at Go Minji, I continued my shower.

After showering, I found the bed had been cleaned up. I was told Go Minji had called the secretaries to take care of it, just as she had when she brought me here.

The atmosphere in the room had shifted slightly; the sisters, previously doing their own things, now gathered around waiting for me.

Go Minji, Go Hayan, Go Seonyul—all with a different air about them, watching me.

'I'll have to confront Minji alone later.'

The voyeur, Go Minji. She deserves to be immobilized for a week for this.

"Are you here?"

Go Hayan was the first to speak. A small box was placed in front of her.

"Come and sit down."

She said, sliding the box across to where I was supposed to sit. Was this meant for me?

I sat down, somewhat bewildered, and something else slid in front of me. It was a document envelope from Go Seonyul.

What is this...?

Looking puzzled, Go Minji chuckled and explained.

"We usually exchange gifts as a way of bonding, but this time we decided to give it all to you. Aren’t you grateful?" "Uh."

What, what?!

"...Muyeol, if you were left in poverty, it would reflect badly on us. Always remember, we are the 'Go family.' We must maintain our dignity."

Go Hayan said this while avoiding my gaze and nonchalantly placing her ring-clad left hand on the table. The RK-77 glittered ominously.

'...How long does she plan to keep wearing that?'

Go Minji then subtly pulled out a necklace. Go Hayan's eyebrows twitched.

"It's not that I'm poor..." "Shut up, man. If your sisters give you something, just say thank you~. Why all the fuss?" "Thank you."

But Go Minji hadn’t given me anything yet...?

"What about you?"

Go Hayan immediately pointed it out.

"Why don’t you have anything?" "Ohh~, I have something special just for Muyeol. We’ve gotten quite close lately, so I prepared a private gift. It’s a bit too private to show here, so I’ll give it to him separately." "Ugh... Just bring it out. Stop making a fuss." "Fuss? How can you say that about giving a gift to a cousin. Ridiculous."

Oh no. Don't fight.

"Uh, what is this exactly? I’m grateful but I don’t understand."

I intervened before things could escalate. I opened the box Go Hayan gave me. There was no fancy wrapping, just a lid to lift off.

Inside was a men's wallet.

'A wallet?'

Was it a luxury gift?

"Are you kidding me? What kind of gift is this?"

Go Minji scoffed from the side, but Go Hayan just looked at me.

Is there something else inside?

I opened the wallet to find a black card inside. As I pulled it out, Go Hayan finally spoke.

"Use that if you need money. There's no limit, so don’t worry about the amount."

What?!
