Chapter 53: My Girlfriend Was Being Teased in Places I''ve Never Touched in Front of Me

    My Girlfriend Was Being Teased in Places I''ve Never Touched in Front of Me

    Wonderland chose to put operations on hold temporarily for internal renovations. The chief manager was enthusiastic about tending to various matters on our behalf, but the unanimous decision was to decline. Yoomin and Minsoo had no desire for compensation, but my viewpoint on the matter differs.

    Without Kim Minsoo, none of this would''ve happened.

    The story''s structure dictated that incidents occurred because Minsoo was present. Had he been absent, a dungeon would never have materialized in Wonderland. After years of accident-free operation, Wonderland experienced a mishap on the day Minsoo "coincidentally" came to visit. It''s the epitome of a protagonist-centered narrative twist.

    He''s clueless, causing so many problems without realizing it.

    "Minsoo, I think we need some time alone. It would do you good too."

    "Huh...? Why? Why...? I can... I can do better!"

    "Because you don''t change..."

    In the quiet bus, Minsoo and I sat side by side, with Yoomin in the middle, amid a heated argument about their impending separation.

    The decision not to summon Rocinante was calculated, considering Minsoo''s impulsive tendencies inherited from the author. It''d be hard to predict what he''d do in the midst of the ongoing standoff with Yoomin.

    He might act boldly because there would only be the three of us. But in a public space, he''ll think twice.

    Minsoo has a tendency to shrink in the presence of a relatively larger man. Had I not been present, he would''ve promptly seized Yoomin''s hand. His flailing hands and hesitant eye movements directed at me served as the evidence.

    To escalate the situation, it''s best to let them converse. Given their current status as lovers, introducing a third party would make the atmosphere weird. Minsoo might sense my deep involvement with Yoomin but he wasn''t sure.

    Deal with it on your own.

    Intervening at the most critical moment will be effective.

    The bus, with only three occupants, was filled with the sound of Minsoo''s rapid-fire, saliva-spattered speech. Yoomin''s eyes were turning cold, with a face that was becoming increasingly unlovable.

    As the time hasn''t yet ripened, I decided to check my delayed rewards.

    ———————————

    Emergency Quest Cleared!

    You have been rewarded with Internet Immunity Ticket (S, 1 time)

    Use it wisely!

    ———————————

    It''s a known reward, so I''m not too excited. I don''t expect much from the beginning.

    I''m looking forward to what comes next.

    The rewards from the Virgin Bomber and the suddenly sparkling achievement window that stirred up excitement in my heart.

    "Hey, Kim Minsoo, it''s great that you''re talking, but could you keep it down?"

    "Oh, um... sorry... So, Yoomin, what I mean is..."

    Unable to endure any longer, a single sentence from me brought an instant silence to the bus.

    Well, receiving some godly reward should warrant this kind of atmosphere.

    ———————————

    Achievement Unlocked! [Virgin Succubus Banquet Chronicles]

    Succubus Queen Shael Perot, known for not yielding to men, was turned into a third-rate slut in your narrative! Quite the accomplishment, isn''t it?

    May you continue turning every woman into a third-rate slut!

    Rewards: [Phallic Magnifier] obtained...?

    .

    .

    .

    You already have [Phallic Magnifier]. No significant change occurred, instead your vitality has been slightly boosted.

    ———————————

    "How long do I have to keep listening?"

    "No, listen to me!"

    "Minsoo, Yoomin doesn''t like it, what are you doing?"

    Minsoo truly seemed like a typical Korean with the habit of always starting sentences with ‘No.'' If I had to guess, there might be kimchi broth running through his veins.

    "You''re shouting loudly in a public place, it''s a nuisance, you know?" I continued, casually wrapping my arm around Yoomin''s waist.

    Minsoo seemed more focused on observing Yoomin, held in my arms, than paying attention to my words. Without any sign of resistance, his girlfriend comfortably nestled in the arms of a stranger. His eyes were even bloodshot, and it seemed to be just about that level of intensity.

    "No... I''m..."

    "Are you listening? Don''t be a nuisance." Continuing the conversation, I gently grasped Yoomin''s breast.

    "Ah..."

    "Hey!"

    "Hey? Who''s ‘Hey''?"

    "No... Um, s-sorry... You..."

    Yoomin nonchalantly rested her hand on my thighs, rubbing the fabric as if she were kneading dough. She subtly proceeded to cup the region where my glans would be with her palm, gently stroking.

    "No... Baek Taeyang, you!"

    "Minsoo, Yoomin is tired. We all struggled to clear the dungeon, and your constant pushing is not helping."

    "T-That''s!"

    Minsoo''s face looked extremely frustrated, unable to articulate his thoughts properly. The trembling lower lip and tightly clenched fist vividly conveyed his emotions.

    Calling out my action and doing something about it seemed to be beyond his mental capacity. If Yoomin had given any hint of hating it, he''d have jumped to using brute strength in a heartbeat. But he was helpless as Yoomin reveled in it like a docile cat enjoying a belly rub.

    You didn''t even know where it went wrong in the first place.

    How frustrating is it to realize something was off from the beginning? Will he buy it if I tell him that things went south the moment Yoomin and I first hooked up after school? Is he going to grasp that his girlfriend, who he was bickering with a minute ago like they were on the brink of a breakup, acted like a slut right in front of him?

    "So, is there a problem? Tell me, Minsoo. Didn''t I promise to help you with your relationship?"

    Minsoo finally locked eyes with me. He stared as if I were the puppeteer pulling all the strings, probably thinking all this would magically fix itself if I vanished.

    What''s he expecting by looking at me like that?

    It was so pitiful that laughter bubbled up within me.

    +++++++++++++++

    My girlfriend was being teased in places I''ve never touched in front of me.

    Even simply holding hands with her filled him with joy, and engaging in phone conversations that left his cheeks burning made him feel like he could soar. Of course, he had some faults, but he thought everything was okay. Frankly, rather than owning up to all his mistakes, he saw this predicament as a golden opportunity.

    Tempted by a succubus? That''s unfair! After all, every man would react the same way, right? It''s inevitable!

    Why can''t she see it that way?

    Frustration even bubbled up towards Yoomin.

    But it''s alright. We''re madly in love, and this seems like just a mildly spicy phase. I firmly believe that the power of love can conquer anything.

    Love should be cool, a piece of wisdom from the illustrious PureDiaryAuthor.

    Be cool and thick-skinned.

    He had imparted that wisdom, and it''s ludicrous not to apply it in the current situation.

    Yoomin, I''m coming to your rescue.

    Decision made. Right now, at this very moment, I''ll put all my acquired knowledge into action!

    "Taeyang, stop."

    Suffering through a prolonged period of humiliation and oppression, it''s time for the hero, Kim Minsoo, to stage a comeback.
