The Sacred Manager Life - Chapter 110

Chirp chirp chirp~

I’m feeding the sparrows under the morning sunlight.

Four sparrows chirp incessantly, begging for more.

‘So pretty…’

Their feathers are far more vibrant than common sparrows on the street, and their appearance is adorable.

One in particular hops onto my shoulder, fluttering its wings and acting affectionate.

The other three sparrows keep chirping below, as if demanding attention too.

It was spring.

When I opened my eyes, an unfamiliar ceiling greeted me.

Cha Soyeon’s bedroom.

Turning my head, I saw Cha Soyeon fast asleep, using my arm as a pillow.

Her expression was utterly satisfied.

‘How many times did we do it?’

First time, then once more in the bathroom after washing up, then back in bed… I lost count.

She wriggles closer, burrowing into my side.

Her smooth skin makes me want to lick her again.

A moment later, Cha Soyeon wakes up and lets out an adorable yawn.

She stares at me with drowsy eyes.

“Did you sleep well?”

“…….”

Her eyes narrow slowly.

“You’re terrible.”

Huh?

“A beast.”

“Ahaha.”

“I told you I was tired, but you wouldn’t stop.”

“How could I stop midway? You kept begging for more too.”

Now that I think about it, that’s unfair.

When I grumble, her expression softens, and she hugs me tightly.

“I was just being petty because you looked too fine. Honestly… I loved it too.”

She nuzzles her face against my side.

No matter what she does, she’s lovable.

“How many times did we do it?”

“Five. The last one was a bit rough, but… I still loved all of it.”

She keeps playing with her hands, acting coy.

It overlaps with the image of the cute sparrow fluttering its wings in my dream.

“I’m hungry.”

“Want something to eat?”

“I do, but I’m too tired to get up. This is all your fault, so take responsibility.”

“Stay still. I’ll handle everything.”

I carried her to the bathroom and washed her from head to toe.

She played with the showerhead, so I dunked her in the tub and joined the fun.

After carrying her back to bed, I dressed her in a robe and dried her hair.

In the kitchen, I toasted bread and prepared salad and fruit juice.

When I brought it upstairs, she opened her mouth like a baby bird.

I fed her while snacking lightly myself.

“Mmm~ So good. This feels like we’re newlyweds.”

“Kinda like having breakfast on a honeymoon trip.”

“Yeah… We’ll have to share with the kids later, but it’s nice having just the two of us like this. I’ll teach Yeoreum how to do this someday.”

Having sex with someone you love is common.

But Cha Soyeon will never leave my side until the day she dies.

That’s fundamentally different from lovers who meet and part.

Besides, the numbers don’t add up—we can’t even call ourselves a married couple.

What exactly is my relationship with these four women?

“Your expression just flickered.”

True to her expertise, Shin Juwon notices immediately.

“It’s nothing. Just thinking about our relationship. One man and four women… It’s not exactly normal, right?”

She hugs me tightly.

“Juwon-ssi, don’t worry about that. We all knew what we were choosing. As long as we have you, nothing else matters. So what if we don’t get married? So what if we’re not a ‘couple’? The person I want to spend my life with is right here.”

The way she speaks is so endearing.

“Juwon-ssi, just love us all the same.”

Somehow, I don’t think I’ll ever win against Cha Soyeon in this lifetime.

HeavenlySoyeon: Did it! (V-sign emoji)

UnruinedYeoreum: Unnie, congrats lol

HoneyYuna: Congrats, unnie. (shy emoji)

BrightAyoung: Unnie, I wonder if Juwon-ssi was satisfied with your flat chest?

HeavenlySoyeon: (smack emoji) He said he loves how it fits perfectly in one hand!

UnruinedYeoreum: Mine doesn’t fit in one hand… What do I do?

HeavenlySoyeon/BrightAyoung: Wanna die?

UnruinedYeoreum: Sorry.

HoneyYuna: Oppa likes small ones? Mine’s kinda big…

HeavenlySoyeon: If anyone brings up size again, I’m kicking them out. Got it?

UnruinedYeoreum/HoneyYuna: Yes.

UnruinedYeoreum: Did it hurt? I read online that some people cry from the pain…

HeavenlySoyeon: It hurt at first, but Juwon-ssi was gentle, so it was okay. Later, it felt so good I forgot all about the pain.

UnruinedYeoreum: That much?

HeavenlySoyeon: Yeoreum-ah, tell Juwon-ssi right after your comeback week ends. And take care of your body until then.

UnruinedYeoreum: Why?

HeavenlySoyeon: We did it five times. I was exhausted until the afternoon.

BrightAyoung/HoneyYuna: (shocked emoji)

HeavenlySoyeon: Juwon-ssi is… big, so it might be tough at first.

UnruinedYeoreum: It’s fine. My mom and the auntie at the restaurant said I have wide hips for easy childbirth.

HeavenlySoyeon: Hmm… Was it because my hips are narrow?

BrightAyoung: Unnie, you’re just small everywhere. (mocking emoji)

HeavenlySoyeon: Let’s see how well you handle it.

BrightAyoung: Exactly. If Yeoreum hurries up, it’ll be my turn soon.

UnruinedYeoreum: Unnie already promised me first! No cutting in!

BrightAyoung: Got it, so hurry up.

UnruinedYeoreum: But… (awkward emoji)

BrightAyoung: Now what?

UnruinedYeoreum: I don’t know where to do it. The dorm’s no good with the kids around, and I’ve never booked a hotel before…

BrightAyoung: Why are you worrying about that? Make Juwon-ssi handle it.

UnruinedYeoreum: But unnie prepared everything and called the manager herself. I wanna do it like that too.

HeavenlySoyeon: Do it at my place.

UnruinedYeoreum: That’s a bit… I want my first time to be somewhere new.

HeavenlySoyeon: Really? Fine, I’ll help.

UnruinedYeoreum: Really?

HeavenlySoyeon: Yeah. Pick a date and let me know.

HoneyYuna: Unnie, help me too. I don’t know how to book places.

HeavenlySoyeon: Sure. Tell me when you decide.

HoneyYuna: Okay! (happy emoji)

BrightAyoung: I hate how used to these conversations I’m getting.

HeavenlySoyeon: Then leave.

BrightAyoung: Are you crazy? You know why I’m here!

HeavenlySoyeon: Then shut up and think of a place. After Yeoreum, it’s your turn.

BrightAyoung: (side-eye emoji)

--------------------------------------------

Shin Juwon, oblivious to these conversations, was fast asleep in his rooftop room.

Only after returning home did the exhaustion from the fifth round hit him.

After leaving the chat, Cha Soyeon called Ryu Yeoreum.

“Unnie~ I was about to call you.”

“I knew you would, so I called first.”

“How was it? You promised to tell me everything.”

“Well, it was like…”

From the moment she greeted Juwon at the door to their newlywed play in the morning, Cha Soyeon emphasized all the parts Yeoreum wanted to hear, adding extra spice.

Off-screen, Yeoreum gasped repeatedly, completely absorbed in Soyeon’s tale.

“The rest, you’ll have to feel for yourself. You’ll like Juwon-ssi even more after this.”

“Even more than now?”

“Yeah. When his strong body presses down on you… It’s like, ‘Finally, a man who can dominate me.’ That kind of feeling. It’s hard to put into words.”

“I see. Since my chest is bigger, I’ll feel it even more, huh?”

“Should I help you find a perfect first-time location or not, huh?”

“Ah! Sorry, unnie.”

“Hmph. So, where do you want? The villa where we took swimsuit photos? A fancy resort? A hotel suite?”

“Hmm… They all sound good. Where would you pick, unnie?”

“Choose what your heart wants. I’ve already had my first night.”

Cha Soyeon’s face radiates the confidence of a victor.

Watching her, Yeoreum suddenly grows curious.

“But unnie, why did you do it at home when you had all these great places? You see it every day.”

“I like familiar places. Bringing a man into my usual bedroom feels… kinda erotic, don’t you think?”

“I don’t get it, but I see you care about the mood.”

“Exactly. For women, the atmosphere of the space matters. Just think about what setting you want when Juwon-ssi holds you.”

“Atmosphere…”

Yeoreum tilts her head, half-understanding.

“For example, imagine Juwon-ssi moving his hips passionately above you. You’re lost in ecstasy, taking it all in. Now, is the backdrop a resort? A villa? A hotel? That’s what you should think about.”

“Haaah… Unnie, you’re too much.”

Yeoreum shudders, her face bright red.

“That’s how it sticks in your head. Got it now?”

“Yes.”

After pushing through Sunday like a zombie, Monday arrived.

I was checking album reactions on music sites, communities, SNS, and MTube while reviewing press releases with the promo team when my phone rang.

Viper was calling.

“What? I’m busy.”

“Hyung-nim, you’re always busy when I call. Quit getting exploited there. I’ll set you up somewhere better.”

“Whatever you set up will be predictable. Talk to me when you can offer something bigger than here.”

“Lucky for you, I can. It’s bigger than your company—not that I’m bragging.”

What’s he scheming now?

“You know SN Entertainment’s Executive Kim Taesang, right?”

“Yeah.”

“He’s been acting weird lately. Thought you should know.”

“Weird? How?”

“Well… he’s gotten nice.”

Nice?
