The Sacred Manager Life - Chapter 86
Seo Yuna sat at the center, flanked by Cha Soyeon, Ryu Yeoreum, and Min Ayoung on either side.
Under the simultaneous gaze of the three, Seo Yuna was in a state of extreme tension.
“We’re only two years apart, but your skin is so flawless. What if Manager-nim says my skin looks rough in comparison?”
This came from Ryu Yeoreum, whose skin was as smooth as marble.
“Haah~ No matter how I look at it, she’s got this seductive vibe. Do men really go for this kind of fox-like beauty? I hope Juwon-ssi isn’t like that.”
This was from Min Ayoung, whose teasing smiles in movies were famously alluring.
“Her looks are more than enough, and if we had one more girl group member, it’d balance out to 2:2… Would she work as the fourth?”
This came from top-class actress Cha Soyeon.
“Um…”
“Yeah, go ahead.”
“What… what’s your relationship with Oppa?”
Seo Yuna asked the question she was most curious about first.
“You’re asking if we’re just friends, in a situationship, or lovers… right?”
“Yes.”
“If I had to define it, we’re lovers. But it’s not conventional. All three of us are Juwon-ssi’s lovers. We’re bound by a ‘light’ that transcends ordinary human connections—a bond like no other.”
A giant question mark floated above Seo Yuna’s head.
All three of them were Shin Juwon’s lovers?
“That… makes no sense to me. How can all three of you be Oppa’s lovers? Did Oppa secretly date all of you…? No, that doesn’t make sense either. You all look so accepting of it!”
“Before I answer, let me ask you one thing.”
Cha Soyeon posed the question.
“Have you seen anything unusual about Juwon-ssi? Something no one else has.”
Caught off guard, Seo Yuna blinked before her mouth moved on its own.
“Light…”
“That’s it.”
“Exactly.”
“I knew it.”
The three nodded as if they’d expected this.
Their reaction only flustered Seo Yuna further.
“This sounds insane… Why are you agreeing?”
“Because we’ve seen the same thing.”
“Huh?”
“We all fell for Juwon-ssi after seeing his light.”
One by one, they shared their experiences with Shin Juwon’s light.
“When I was little, I almost died in an accident. Someone wrapped in light saved me, and I saw the same light around Juwon-ssi. He and I were fated to be bound like this.”
Cha Soyeon’s face was filled with pride, like a wife bragging about her husband or child.
Her usual stoic expression had shattered, replaced by joy, love, trust, and reverence.
“I was just waiting for the day I’d get disbandment news. Then I heard a new manager had arrived, so I went to the office to greet him. But there was light shimmering around him—so bright and radiant I couldn’t look away. How could I not fall for someone like that?”
Ryu Yeoreum’s face was that of a girl hopelessly in love.
“Two years ago, I suddenly stopped activities because of my eyes. A rare disease was making me go blind. If not for Juwon-ssi, I would’ve lived a hellish life before eventually killing myself. He’s my savior. How could I not love the light coming from someone like that?”
Min Ayoung went even further, saying he’d healed her eyes.
“Oppa… healed your eyes?”
Seeing Seo Yuna’s face full of question marks, Cha Soyeon burst out laughing.
“This isn’t working. We’ve just been bragging about Juwon-ssi, so Yuna can’t understand. I think we skipped too much.”
“Right. She doesn’t know about Juwon-ssi’s abilities yet.”
“Unnie, you know the most, so you explain.”
“Fine. Yuna, the truth is… Juwon-ssi is…”
Cha Soyeon began explaining Shin Juwon’s abilities one by one, recounting their experiences.
Superhuman strength capable of taking down dozens of men,
The power to turn water into delicious beer or wine,
The ability to see and prepare for the future through dreams or visions,
The miracle of walking on water,
“He once summoned a divine pet—a creature as massive as a whale.”
“He even pulled a ship out of a whirlpool. They say he used it to calm a typhoon.”
The three women enthusiastically bragged about Shin Juwon.
It was clear they’d long since moved past questioning the impossibility of it all.
“It might be hard to believe, but it’s all true. We’ve seen it ourselves. Why would we lie to you?”
“I know you’re not lying. You couldn’t fake expressions like that.”
“Thanks for believing us.”
“I’ve seen the light too, after all.”
Seo Yuna fidgeted with her hands, lost in thought.
She needed time to process the overwhelming amount of information.
Sensing this, the three waited quietly for her to sort through her thoughts.
“I get that Oppa isn’t an ordinary person… but I still don’t understand how he can have three lovers… Unnies are such incredible people… Ah, not that Oppa isn’t incredible too! But still, loving one person… and having to share him among three…”
Seo Yuna felt her question was perfectly reasonable.
No matter how much you loved someone, three women sharing one man?
“I get what you’re struggling with, but we can’t give up Juwon-ssi. Under any circumstances.”
“Manager-nim isn’t deceiving us by dating all three. We chose this.”
“Honestly, Juwon-ssi is the problem. Even now, he hesitates to accept all three of us. But we’ll win him over eventually.”
“But… are you really okay with it? Even though Oppa can’t love only you?”
She thought this was another perfectly valid question.
“It’s disappointing, but I can accept it. I don’t care about anything else as long as I can have Juwon-ssi.”
“If it’s these unnies, I don’t mind. I like both of them.”
“Well, these two are worthy of having Juwon-ssi. So I’ve decided to make a tiny concession.”
Listening to them, Seo Yuna started to see how it could work.
They loved one man but had no intention of monopolizing him.
It wasn’t a conventional relationship, but with Shin Juwon at the center, it didn’t feel awkward.
‘What am I even thinking…?’
“If it’s Juwon-ssi, wouldn’t he be able to love all three of us fully?”
“Right. Manager-nim is so strong, he’d never get tired.”
“I’m gonna test how many rounds he can handle later.”
The conversation veered into the physical side of love—something you should never indulge in too deeply.
Suddenly, Seo Yuna remembered Shin Juwon moving his hips fiercely above her.
In her dreams, of course.
“Unnie! Yuna’s turning red. Was that too much for her?”
“If this makes you blush, you won’t last with Juwon-ssi.”
“Hah, well… that’s…”
“Unnie. We should ask if she’s even okay with this kind of relationship first. You’re going too far.”
“Right. She might not like the idea of multiple women.”
Hearing that snapped Seo Yuna back to reality.
In the practice room, she’d been disappointed to learn Shin Juwon had a lover.
But she never expected it to be lovers—plural.
“Yuna, about the light you saw—we call it the ‘light of fate.’ The one who granted Juwon-ssi his powers allowed us to see it. So far, only women have been able to see it, so we think it’s meant to guide his partners.”
Cha Soyeon continued her interpretation of the light.
“That’s why the number doesn’t matter. This isn’t a bond formed by people. It’s a bond created by that being. This is fate.”
“Fate…”
A supernatural force governing all things in the universe.
Something predetermined, inevitable.
If that light truly was fate, as Cha Soyeon said, then Seo Yuna had no choice but to love Shin Juwon.
She couldn’t easily respond to Cha Soyeon’s words.
She knew how important love was to a woman.
And now, three women loved one man—and she’d have to become the fourth.
“We didn’t call you here today to make a decision. This isn’t a normal relationship, no matter how you look at it.”
“Right. When I first heard from unnie, I thought it was a threesome.”
“It wasn’t until I heard Sora unnie’s story that I thought, ‘Maybe this could work.’”
There were bits she didn’t understand, but Seo Yuna stayed silent.
It didn’t feel like her place to interject.
“Juwon-ssi’s light has the power to draw in those bound by fate. For men, I’m not sure, but for women, it seems tied to love. Just look at the three of us. What about you, Yuna?”
“I, um…”
Provoked by Cha Soyeon, Seo Yuna’s face turned red, and she couldn’t continue.
The three smirked, as if they’d expected this.
“Go home and think about it. If you feel like you can live without Juwon-ssi, you don’t have to join. We won’t force you, even if we’d like you to.”
The words “you don’t have to join” stabbed at Seo Yuna’s chest.
Just moments ago, she’d been unsure—but now, her heart burned. It felt strange.
She was frustrated, emotions welling up, and suddenly, she felt like crying.
Without realizing it, her eyes grew damp.
‘I shouldn’t cry… The unnies will think I’m weird…’
She clenched her teeth, trying to hold back, but the floodgates had opened.
A pained whimper escaped her lips, startling the three.
“Hic… Stop saying that… Don’t say it… Waaah!”
The tears finally burst forth.
It took all three of them taking turns to comfort her before she finally stopped crying.
They sent her home in a car, saying they’d talk more another time since she was still emotionally overwhelmed.
“So, why did you have to make her cry?”
“I didn’t think she’d cry over that. Was it really that upsetting?”
“I think she took it as you telling her not to see Manager-nim.”
With Seo Yuna gone, the three began chatting among themselves.
“But even her crying is so sexy? As a woman, I’m getting excited—imagine how a man would react.”
“Right. She’s got this aura that just ensnares men.”
“We’ll have to keep a close eye on Juwon-ssi. Just her face alone could melt him in bed. If she moved her hips like that on top, what man wouldn’t fall for her?”
Whether he heard them or not, the three were already on high alert.
