The Sacred Manager Life - Chapter 90
I barely managed to peel Cha So-yeon off me and sat her down on the chair.
“I’ll hold back only until Red Blossom’s comeback. After that, I’m going all the way, so you better remember that.”
It sounded like a declaration of war.
“But the pressure down there felt so good. It was like indirectly experiencing the moment Juwon-ssi pushes in, you know? The throbbing makes me think it’s looking forward to it too.”
The intensity keeps escalating day by day.
After the first experience, I’m worried about how much further it’ll go.
“Don’t make that face. I only act like this with my man.”
She scolded me, so I just grinned.
As if she liked seeing me smile, she burrowed into my side and rubbed her chest against me.
I guess when you like someone, you just want to be as close as possible.
When I hugged her back, she flinched and clung even tighter.
For a while, we stayed like this, admiring the clouds painted across the sky.
It would’ve been even better if it were a starry night sky.
“I think you should accept Yuna too.”
The name “Yuna” suddenly popped out of Cha So-yeon’s mouth.
“I got her permission before saying this. She must be too shy to say it herself.”
“Seo Yuna? From Honey Pops?”
“Yeah.”
“Have you met Yuna before?”
I did tell her about saving Yuna.
But that doesn’t mean there’s any real connection between them—when did they even meet?
“As an expert on Juwon-ssi, my instincts told me to invite her home. This kind of intuition is my blessing.”
She’s making up blessings now.
Since she’s this sincere about me, it’s hard to say anything.
‘Can she just throw around the word “blessing” like that?’
[The spirits can tell the difference between a joke and the real thing.]
Apparently, they can.
“What happened between you and Yuna that made you say I should accept her?”
“Well…”
Cha So-yeon, Min A-young, Yeoreum, and Seo Yuna had all gathered in one place.
They told Yuna about the kind of relationship the three of them had with me.
They explained everything about the abilities I possessed.
“Yuna can also see Juwon-ssi’s light. She said she’s drawn to you just like we are.”
I already knew, but it seems they talked about it with the girls too.
The fourth one the spirits mentioned is about to become reality.
“So, when you said to accept her…”
“Yeah. She said she’d be the fourth. That she can’t live without you. That she’ll accept whatever you share with her.”
I remembered the call I had with Yuna.
｢You’re the answer, oppa. I’ve made my decision.｣
So that’s what she meant.
[I told you it would happen.]
Even the spirits are chiming in.
“I’ll talk to Yuna directly. She’s only 20—isn’t this too soon?”
“That’s weird. Don’t men like younger women? The youngest one’s about to join, and you’re hesitating?”
“Are you trying to put me on the same level as that perverted congressman?”
“Of course not. That bastard went after minors. Yuna’s only young in age—does she look immature to you? She’s got that mature, mesmerizing look that drives men wild.”
I recalled Yuna’s sensual wave on stage.
Her visuals are undeniably alluring, exuding a mature charm.
“Aah, you’re already swayed. This is why we shouldn’t let the youngest in.”
When I didn’t react fast enough, Cha So-yeon immediately switched to complaining.
I soothed her mood by hugging her tightly one more time in the recliner.
The downfall of the perverted congressman, Jo Yang-soo, happened in an instant.
[Minpyeong Party Secretary-General Jo Yang-soo… Allegations of corruption in hiring his son and daughter at public enterprises]
[Congressman Jo Yang-soo denies allegations… Resigns as Secretary-General to prove innocence]
[Congressman Jo Yang-soo’s aide blows the whistle… Millions in legal fees covered under the table]
[Congressman Jo Yang-soo embezzled donations for 8 years… Evidence of bribes from construction company CEO]
[Congressman Jo Yang-soo accused of sexual favors… Shocking inclusion of underage trainees]
[Congressman Jo Yang-soo, accused of sexual favors, expelled from Minpyeong Party… Victims file police reports]
[Prosecutors to summon Congressman Jo Yang-soo next week over multiple corruption charges]
Scandals involving Jo Yang-soo broke one after another.
Even the Minpyeong Party, which initially tried to shield him, had no choice but to cut ties when the sexual misconduct allegations surfaced.
With minors involved, no excuses could save him.
The prosecution unusually fast-tracked his summons.
Public outrage was too severe to show any leniency.
The day before his summons—
Jo Yang-soo was found dead, hanging from a tree near his home in the mountains.
A suicide note claimed he would “take everything with him.”
SN Entertainment Executive Office—
Executive Director Kim Tae-sang stared at the news portal with a dumbfounded expression.
“Damn, Jo Yang-soo really went out like this.”
“Guess he couldn’t handle everything collapsing at once.”
On the sofa sat a man with short, bleached-blond hair.
Fashionable earrings dangled from his ears, and an intricate tattoo stretched across his nape.
His sharp features were offset by idol-level good looks.
“What about his aide?”
“The kids handled it cleanly.”
“Since that bastard always booked the ‘entertainment’ spots, make sure he keeps his mouth shut.”
“Don’t worry. He’ll never talk.”
He grinned darkly.
Kim Tae-sang knew well—when Yongho smiled like that, someone was about to disappear.
“What about Seokdae?”
“Still a vegetable.”
Yang Seok-dae, found at Scarlet, had lost his memory.
To be precise, he’d regressed to babbling like an infant.
Doctors diagnosed him with amnesia and infantile regression.
“That bastard’s done for, so get rid of him when the time’s right. You handle the international side.”
“I’ve already talked to Doksa. He’ll come in once he wraps up business in Japan.”
“Make it fast. I’ve got work for him.”
“Understood, Executive Director.”
Kim Tae-sang planned to hand over the Jinsaenggyo connections to Yongho.
The cult’s factories were recovering faster than expected, making him impatient.
He was also curious about the rumored female cult leader.
‘Hope she’s a real looker.’
Kim Tae-sang licked his lips and smirked obscenely.
“Oppa’s house is so cool.”
She must’ve never seen a rooftop house before.
Yuna, sitting on the wooden deck, looked around with wide-eyed wonder.
I’d asked to meet her to confirm what Cha So-yeon told me.
With nowhere else to take an idol, I brought her home.
“I’m having a beer. What do you want?”
“Beer for me too. Make it for me, oppa.”
“Where’d you hear about that?”
“The unnies bragged so much about how good it was. I wanna try it too.”
I showed her water turning into beer.
She clapped her hands and laughed brightly.
[Her charm is no joke.]
‘Huh, her vibe’s different from the other three.’
[Not what I meant. See the yellow light shimmering around her?]
‘Yeah. It’s like she’s dancing.’
[That’s the light that toppled the kings of Persia. Most people would fall for her instantly. Don’t stare too hard, Master.]
‘If others can’t even see it, how would they fall for her?’
[Even if they can’t see it, dumb men can sense it like an aura. Some can even feel blessings like divine favor. Those types would be hooked immediately.]
‘That strong?’
[Yes. In terms of sheer charm, she’s the best of the four. Of course, since you don’t judge by charm alone, you won’t be swayed like others.]
Still, I should be careful.
It feels like sitting across from a succubus.
“The beer’s really good. More, please.”
She downed three glasses in a row.
Seems she can hold her liquor just fine.
“Haaah, drinking after so long feels amazing. You having fun too, oppa?”
“Yeah. Having a light drink like this on the deck really melts the stress away.”
“Not that. I meant, are you happy drinking with me?”
“Oh… Well, of course I am.”
“Hehe, I’m glad.”
What is this adorable creature?
A mature woman playfully sticking out her tongue while speaking in a cute, coquettish voice.
The mismatch between her looks and her demeanor creates an irresistible反差萌 (reverse charm).
‘Is this why you warned me?’
[This isn’t even the start.]
She lazily scooted closer to me.
A blush bloomed on her cheeks, reflecting the golden light, and her lips took on a mysterious hue.
Her slightly hooded, sparkling eyes curved beautifully.
Now I get why fans call her “lethal” in the comments.
“So-yeon unnie told me everything.”
“Ah.”
I figured I should steer the mood, so I spoke first.
“Surprised? It’s all pretty unbelievable.”
“Yeah. If I hadn’t seen the light coming from you, it would’ve taken way longer to believe.”
“Not ‘wouldn’t believe,’ just ‘take longer,’ huh?”
“Even without the light, I’d have believed eventually. Because of how I feel about you.”
“…….”
“When a woman loves someone, she’ll believe anything. Even the unexplainable.”
“I—I’m happy you feel that way, but isn’t it too soon?”
“I’m an adult, okay? I’m old enough to know my own heart.”
“I know, but you’re only 20… And if you succeed as an idol, you’ll enter a whole new world. Why rush now…?”
“No. No matter how old I get, this won’t change. I thought hard about it, and So-yeon unnie was right. The light only brought me to you—after that, it was all me. Of course, it wasn’t the light. It was you I fell for.”
Her expression was unwavering.
She insisted it wasn’t the light—she chose this love herself.
Now I’m at a loss for words.
“You don’t have to choose. Everyone’s precious to me.”
“So-yeon unnie said you’d say that. That you cherish every bond and could never cast anyone aside. That’s why I’m okay with sharing.”
She hugged me tightly.
“You don’t have to choose, oppa. I already did.”
