Turn back time. When Yu-jin was enjoying a drinking session with Kkong.

 

There was someone who was having a terrible time, completely opposite to him.

 

It was Aika, the gorilla who was just strong.

 

“So, you know? No matter how much of a man you are, forcing it isn’t good. Rape is absolutely not okay.”

 

“I’m telling you, no….”

 

-Tsukk.

 

How could one feel good while being treated like a prospective rapist and getting lectured by Seol Ha-yeon?

 

Aika’s head drooped deeply in response.

 

Shame and injustice weighed down on the back of her head.

 

‘I really didn’t do anything… I just wanted to take responsibility for arousing my student….’

 

“…….”

 

‘This gorilla, she hasn’t reflected at all?’

 

Seeing that, Seol Ha-yeon scolded her even more harshly.

 

Aika’s head lowered further and further.

 

Eventually, the gorilla taming session lasted for two hours.

 

“Got it? Don’t touch or let anyone touch you without permission.”

 

“Between a master and a student, that much is….”

 

“Tsk. Didn’t I tell you many times that’s sexual harassment?”

 

“I’m a woman, so if I don’t mind….”

 

“Don’t say things that belong to the 80s. And, that sounded like a sexual predator.”

 

“Fine, fine! I won’t touch my student recklessly, and I won’t let anyone touch me. I won’t do anything dirty by force! Happy now!?”

 

“Good.”

 

Finally, a sincere answer was drawn out.

 

Seol Ha-yeon smiled contentedly, having succeeded in her training.

 

Aika felt wronged inside.

 

‘Damn. They see me as a pervert… I just wanted to help my student. If the student wanted, I was going to help calm them down.’

 

She was indeed thinking of doing something for the student.

 

But she never intended to force anything.

 

It’s not like she was a sex-crazed pervert.

 

I was just going to corner the student.

 

I’ll take responsibility and calm you down. Just tell me what you want.

 

I was just thinking of asking like that and doing what they wanted.

 

Rape never even crossed my mind.

 

Well, maybe I did intimidate them a bit to be honest.

 

The student is unnecessarily upright.

 

But, this is not a threat. Definitely not rape.

 

‘But… what did the student want me to do?’

 

I heard that boys relieve themselves by, you know, rubbing.

 

Maybe they asked me to do it with my hand.

 

They could have also asked me to do something with my chest.

 

Besides that…

 

Gasp! What if they wanted my whole body?

 

No matter how much, that would be crossing the line between master and student.

 

-Blush.

 

‘I can’t do that no matter what… but, hmm. If the student begged me to marry them, I might consider it?’

 

‘Yes. I don’t have any man I like anyway, and it seems like I won’t find one in the future. So, grabbing anyone before it’s too late might not be bad.’

 

‘If the student begs on their knees… I might just make them my husband. Of course, they must love me dearly. Yes.’

 

Aika’s mind was running wild again.

 

The synthesized wedding photos from her imagination popped up one after another in her head, truly absurd.

 

Even Seol Ha-yeon was appalled.

 

‘To think nothing has happened while living with this perverted woman. Yu-jin, just what kind of battles have you been fighting all this time?’

 

Suddenly, she felt an urge to be nicer to Yu-jin.

 

* * *

 

After Seol Ha-yeon left.

 

Aika eagerly waited for her student.

 

To convey her thoughts.

 

‘The student said he found me arousing, so I might be the one he likes among the three. I should ask him who he loves and, if he wants, accept him….’

 

-Creak.

 

“Master~!!”

 

“……!!!”

 

After a short wait, Yu-jin returned with Kkong.

 

His pronunciation was cute, probably because he was drunk.

 

Thinking it was a good opportunity, Aika planned to hit him like an 8-ton truck…

 

“Student. I….”

 

“The most beautiful angel master in the world! See you tomorrow~!”

 

-Zoom.

 

“An, angel?”

 

The hit-and-run did not happen.

 

Thanks to the drunk Yu-jin’s divine evasion.

 

And, seizing the moment.

 

Kkong’s eyes sparkled.

 

“Student, what are you….”

 

-Whisper whisper.

 

“———Ninomiya. Yu-jin likes you.”

 

“……!!!!!!?”

 

Her violet eyes widened in shock.

 

Then, Aika grabbed Kkong by the collar and lifted him up.

 

To match her eye level with his.

 

Kkong’s feet dangled in the air.

 

[What, what do you mean!? Explain in detail. In detail!!]

 

“Well. It’s what I heard….”

 

[Speak in a whisper!! What if the student hears you!!]

 

[He’s so drunk, he won’t understand anything we say.]

 

[Just hurry up!! What did the student say to you?!]

 

But Aika didn’t care and just kept pressing.

 

Though it was a bit rude, Kkong obediently answered.

 

Expecting manners from a gorilla strong only in strength was futile.

 

Indeed, Kkong was wise.

 

[Actually….]

 

[The, the student really said that? He finds our master cute and pretty and lovely that he can hardly hold himself back every day? That he wants to marry the master!?]

 

[He didn’t mention marriage.]

 

[That’s what it means!!]

 

Thanks to that, Aika’s hands trembled with joy.

 

Kkong’s feet also trembled along.

 

However, his eyes did not waver.

 

‘The problem starts from here.’

 

[If the student likes me, I could marry him….]

 

[Hey, stop. That’s the path to hell.]

 

[……?]

 

‘Indeed. Things could have been terrible without me.’

 

Kkong let out a deep sigh that smelled of alcohol.

 

Even without using future sight, nothing strayed from his predictions.

 

He found her so easy to read that it was simply frustrating.

 

[Think about it. You’ve only known Yu-jin for a little over a week, right?]

 

[It’s been about ten days? Why?]

 

[If a woman you’ve known for ten days rushes to marry you, wouldn’t your feelings cool down?]

 

[Really!!?]

 

[Really. If it were me, I’d run away immediately.]

 

So, after stopping the sudden outburst,

 

Kkong began to gently persuade the gorilla.

 

To prevent his friend from being hit by this 8-ton truck without brakes. Very carefully.

 

[This kind of thing should be taken slowly. Yes. Start with a ‘some’ relationship.]

 

[A ‘some’ relationship…?]

 

[Yes. Yu-jin likes you, and you like Yu-jin too, right?]

 

[I don’t particularly like my student.]

 

[Weren’t you talking about marriage and everything?]

 

[….]

 

[Just listen to me. So instead of confessing outright….]

 

Afterward, Kkong began to explain his plan step by step.

 

Yu-jin likes Ninomiya.

 

Ninomiya also likes Yu-jin.

 

But, this feeling is only about 10 days old.

 

If they confessed prematurely, it would only become a burden for each other.

 

[Maintain a relationship less than lovers, but more than friends. Let each other’s feelings become more solid.]

 

So, develop a ‘some’ relationship.

 

Until your own feelings become more certain.

 

Until you are sure of the feelings the other person has for you.

 

[Kkong, you’re unexpectedly smart? I’m seeing you in a new light.]

 

[It’s not that I’m smart, it’s that you’re just a gorilla strong in power….]

 

-Crack.

 

[If you spare me, I’ll give you even better information. Information that will greatly help in developing a ‘some’ relationship with Yu-jin.]

 

[Speak quickly.]

 

Kkong’s tricks didn’t end here.

 

He provoked her on purpose. Then, pretending to have made a slip of the tongue, he offered to give good information.

 

Thanks to that, the distracted Aika’s attention was again focused on Kkong.

 

And then, Kkong said…

 

[First of all, you should do something about your clothes.]

 

‘You should dress more modestly. That underwear earlier, and even now. Ugh. Ridiculous.’

 

He straightforwardly criticized Aika’s fashion.

 

Aika, dressed in a white tank dress, tilted her head in confusion.

 

[The student said it looked pretty.]

 

[That’s because right now, he’s deeply infatuated with you. But you’ll be spending several more months together. If you keep wearing clothes like that, won’t he get tired of it?]

 

[What do you mean….]

 

[I’m not saying you shouldn’t wear those clothes, but you should vary the exposure.]

 

In front of her, Kkong expounded his philosophy.

 

Looking at bare skin and going wow- is only for a day or two.

 

If it continues, people get used to it and become indifferent.

 

Humans are creatures of adaptation.

 

So, some days dress modestly.

 

Other days suddenly dress boldly, giving variations.

 

Don’t waste the weapon of exposure.

 

[If you search for girlfriend look or date look on the internet, you’ll find plenty. Usually, wear those kinds of things. Men like those.]

 

[Hmm… okay. I’ll look it up.]

 

[You’ve made a good decision!]

 

After a long persuasion, Kkong’s expression brightened.

 

He thought that if only the exposure was reduced, his friend wouldn’t be hit by a hit-and-run.

 

Furthermore, Ninomiya herself would exercise some restraint.

 

He felt relieved, thinking his friend wouldn’t bleed from hypnotic overload.

 

‘Hmph. Using exposure as a weapon? In other words, I need more strength, right? Just need to get stronger, right?’

 

———If Kkong could read Aika’s thoughts, he would be furious, saying, ‘Did you even listen to me, you gorilla.’

 

Unfortunately, he didn’t have mind-reading abilities.

 

Additionally, he had already been exhausted from the recent days’ efforts and didn’t want to overuse his powers any further.

 

“Then please put me down. I have to return to Vietnam.”

 

-Whoosh.

 

“Close the door on your way out~.”

 

“…….”

 

Kkong just walked down the night street sluggishly.

 

Friend, you should be grateful to me- he hummed a tune.

 

* * *

 

So, the next day.

 

“M-Master. What in the world is that outfit…?”

 

“Kkong said men like these kinds of things. How is it?”

 

“…….”

 

‘That bastard!!?’

 

Yu-jin. The moment he woke up, he was hit by an 8-ton truck.

 

Kkong would be very wronged if he saw this.

 

No. I told her to reduce exposure.

 

It’s just that this power-only gorilla can’t break her habit of solving everything with strength- he would say.

 

‘Hmph. Look at him, speechless. As expected, it was a lack of power and exposure. Boys like these things!’

 

The gorilla, Aika, was delighted.

 

Yu-jin, who couldn’t stand the sight, turned his head quickly.

 

“You can’t dress like that, Master!! How could you….”

 

“It’s fine. Besides, I dressed like this for you to see.”

 

“Wh-what do you mean….”

 

The embarrassment was a bonus.

 

Huh? An apron with nothing underneath, worn for me to see?

 

What is this? A seduction? No matter how I see it, it’s seduction.

 

“I wore it specially, so I’d feel bad if you didn’t look.”

 

“The student, my eyes have nowhere to rest.”

 

“I’ve covered the necessary parts, so it’s fine. Please look.”

 

She even requested him to look!

 

Yu-jin’s head slowly turned back.

 

Seeing his wife’s figure like this, it was natural to want to see it.

 

And,

 

-Stare.

 

“Wow….”

 

His mouth opened in admiration.

 

Oh my. That voluptuous. No. Wow.

 

My wife is so sexy and cute, I’m going crazy.

 

I want to shout I love you right now.

 

This kind of blatant gaze was a bonus.

 

Aika, feeling his gaze, smiled slightly…

 

“Heh. No matter how much you stare, with your current level, you can’t see through it?”

 

“……!!!? How could I dare. I just, Master is so beautiful. No such lewd intentions.”

 

“If you really want to see inside….”

 

-Subtly.

 

 

“I could take off this apron and show you directly?”

 

“………!!!!!!!?”

 

———Aika made a proposal that was hard to refuse.
