It had been three days. One day they were too busy being investigated by the center, and another day they couldn’t even see each other due to individual schedules. Perhaps due to the aftermath of the sex, Ye-sol slept all day immediately after the investigation ended. For an ordinary person, that wouldn’t have been enough to recover, but Ye-sol’s stamina was extraordinary. After waking up from a good sleep, he suddenly asked Butler Kwak for all the cleaning supplies, saying he wanted to clean.
Splash, splash.
[Ah, life is good…]
Just as Ye-sol was reminiscing about what had happened just two days ago, the daisy made a hoarse sound from the small aquarium set up in one corner of the room. The aquarium, normally used for ornamental fish, had been filled with three 1.5-liter bottles of soda.
“Flower-nim, are you okay? I was worried the tank might be too big.”
[Ah, it’s just perfect. I like everything big.]
The daisy floated on the aquarium, fluttering its leaves. Its white petals were very lush, suggesting it was in a good mood. The carbonate that the daisy liked rose to the surface, bubbling and popping, which seemed to delight it as it chuckled.
“That’s a relief. Is the sunlight okay? Should I move you?”
[No, this place is better. I don’t like it too strong. Change the curtains to something thinner. I’d like to get some breeze, but don’t open the window. I absolutely hate bugs. Maybe it’s because of the sweet smell of soda, but they kept lurking around in the middle of the night. Spray some insecticide outside regularly, and on days when the sun is too strong, spray some mist on me too.]
The daisy had quite a lot of demands. But because of the beautiful seeds he had obtained thanks to the daisy, Ye-sol decided to fulfill all its picky requests.
“Okay, I got it. I’ll tell Butler Kwak too.”
[Yes, make sure to convey everything properly.]
“Okay… But Flower-nim.”
[What?]
“What should I do with the seeds now?”
Ye-sol asked, recalling the seeds carefully enshrined in a pretty box.
[What else? Plant them.]
“Is it okay to plant them? Maybe… something strange…”
It would be troublesome if some strange plant were born.
[Something strange, what?]
“Umm…?”
[Hey, if you talk like that, what does that make me? Does that sound like you’re saying I’m strange?]
‘Yes.’
Ye-sol wanted to answer honestly but decided to hold back. He didn’t want to provoke the sensitive daisy and get in trouble.
“No. It’s a misunderstanding, Flower-nim…”
[Fine. Well… you could try planting them in a pot. Since you laid them, the majority share belongs to you. But I should get a portion of whatever grows from them.]
“Oh, so will something like fruit come out?”
[Who knows. We’ll have to plant them to find out.]
After answering this way, Daisy splashed the soda water from the tank with its vibrant leaves. As the walls and floor became stained with sparkles, Ye-sol quickly wiped them clean. If bugs were attracted, it would be troublesome for both Daisy and Ye-sol.
[But where are those guys? I don’t see them around.]
“Ah…”
Daisy was asking about the Jibural team members’ whereabouts. Ye-sol’s face darkened rapidly.
For some reason, since that day, the Jibural team members hadn’t come looking for Ye-sol. It could be because they had only recently arrived at the mansion and were still adjusting. However, late at night, Ye-sol had accidentally overheard the team members conversing among themselves as they went between rooms, excluding him. Ye-sol, with his poor hearing, couldn’t understand what they were saying, but he felt complicated by the sense of exclusion.
That’s not to say there were no visitors for Ye-sol at all. Last evening, Guide Ye Min-hwan had briefly stopped by to deliver the Jibural team’s exclusive uniform.
But that was it. Min-hwan had smiled brightly, entered the room without any teasing, and left.
‘I’m now a proper member of the Jibural team too…’
Ye-sol felt very disappointed, as if he alone was being left out. Despite having had messy sex and giving birth to seeds—even if they weren’t real children…
Ye-sol pushed aside his gloomy feelings and continued cleaning the house.
At the same time Ye-sol was busy cleaning, the Jibural team members were all gathered in Team Leader Kye Sung-gi’s room.
“But we’ve been restraining ourselves as you said, Team Leader!”
Min-hwan shouted with a flushed face. He looked extremely upset. However, Team Leader Sung-gi spoke with an unwavering expression.
“…I received a report that Guide Ye Min-hwan went to Guide Ha Ye-sol’s room last evening.”
“That was…”
Min-hwan became noticeably flustered at Sung-gi’s observation.
“Didn’t we agree to refrain from visiting from our side for a while?”
“I… just wanted to deliver the guide uniform to Ye-sol hyung…”
“You could have delivered it during meal times, not necessarily yesterday.”
“……”
Apparently stung by those words, Min-hwan fanned himself with his hand and turned his gaze away.
“Let’s stop the interrogation, shall we? I took a peek, and all he did was deliver the clothes.”
Esper Jae Gi-chan, who had been watching this from the window seat, spoke up. Immediately, the sharp gazes of Team Leader Sung-gi and Guide Min-hwan turned toward him.
“What? You said we shouldn’t even look secretly.”
“Shibal, look at these eyes… I was just concerned. How do I know what you might do?”
“What would I do? With all the rooms so close together, it’s obvious I’d be caught if I tried anything.”
“How can you guarantee that? You’re the one who forcibly inserted two dicks!”
“You were enjoying it when you came!”
“Enough.”
As the voices of the two grew increasingly louder, Team Leader Sung-gi intervened.
“All of you, that’s enough. I know this is difficult for everyone. But we’ve set rules, so please bear with it while we search for a solution.”
It was Team Leader Sung-gi’s firm tone, no different from a robot’s. The two glared at each other as if they wanted to kill one another but eventually stepped back as if in agreement.
“Esper Hwang Dong-jeong.”
“Y-yes…”
While the three stood properly and conversed, only Esper Hwang Dong-jeong was sitting awkwardly on the floor. He answered with his head bowed deeply before belatedly raising his gaze. His eyes were moist.
“Are you alright?”
“Yes…”
“How was your condition? Please report.”
At Team Leader Sung-gi’s words, Dong-jeong spoke with a bright red face.
“Earlier… while passing through the corridor, just from hearing Ye-sol hyung singing and shaking his buttocks alone…”
“And?”
“I g-got an erection. I got an erection… and couldn’t urinate for an hour… I feel like I’m dying.”
As if to prove his words true, Dong-jeong was tightly gripping his bulging crotch with his palm. Seeing this, Team Leader Sung-gi sighed deeply, and Guide Min-hwan stepped forward.
“Let him masturbate! Dong-jeong’s bladder is going to burst! Team Leader…!”
“His dick is all swollen. That bastard…”
It seemed Gi-chan also hoped for this, given Min-hwan’s opinion. He clicked his tongue and turned his head away in concern.
“……”
After being lost in deep contemplation for a moment, Team Leader Sung-gi slowly nodded.
“…Masturbation permitted.”
“Huk…! Th-thank you!”
As soon as permission was granted, Dong-jeong quickly left the room. There was a loud crash, which sounded ominous, but Dong-jeong had already rushed into his room and locked the door firmly.
“Poor Dong-jeong…”
Min-hwan closed the door with a bitter expression. Gi-chan’s face looked like he had eaten excrement.
“It’s so… fucking frustrating…”
Silence fell among the three for a while. It seemed as if they all felt a deep sense of empathy regarding Esper Hwang Dong-jeong’s masturbation.
It was all because of Guide Ha Ye-sol.
