The Man with Hypnotic Powers Doesn’t Hold Back the Second Time Around

Chapter 154

The scene rewinds to just after Yu-jin left to scold his daughters, leaving Aika alone. She let out a sigh, clearly not pleased.

“Ugh, you idiot. How can you just leave after complimenting me and calling me pretty? Scolding your daughters is more important? You should be paying attention to me… I’m upset.”

She seemed genuinely hurt, with tears welling up in her eyes. Yu-jin, unaware of her feelings, had left her feeling frustrated and neglected.

‘But… he should be back soon. There’s no way he’d leave his mentor alone for too long, right…?’
“...”
‘Why isn’t he back yet? It’s already been 20 minutes! Wasn’t he just scolding them?’

In reality, Yu-jin was caught up with his daughters—disciplining Winter, cleaning up Haru, and tending to her mental state. Almost an hour had passed by the time he finished.

Aika’s cheeks puffed up in frustration.

“Stupid disciple.”

Rustle

‘I even wore my cutest lingerie for him.’

She lifted her clothes slightly, revealing the lingerie she’d bought just for this occasion. A peek of the delicate, slightly flirtatious yet adorable outfit. Anyone seeing this might think, Is she seriously this excited to spend a night with her 12-years-younger disciple? But thankfully—or perhaps unluckily—she was alone in the room.

After a while, Aika’s frustration reached a boiling point.

“Ugh, this is infuriating.”

[Hello, this is room service. How may I help…?]
“One can of beer, and some peanuts. The beer should be Asahi.”

After muttering to herself for a while, Aika finally ordered a beer. She hadn’t eaten anything all day, and the thought of her disciple was driving her crazy. A drink to calm her nerves seemed in order.

It didn’t take long for the cold can of beer to be delivered.

Sssst

“…Ah, that’s better.”

With that, she took a long gulp, downing the can in almost no time.

This quick disappearance of one can showed how frustrated she truly was… but the trouble came afterward.

Growl

‘…Maybe I should order one more?’

Her stomach grumbled, demanding more sustenance. She was hungry after a full day without food, and her body craved energy.

What began as “just one can” quickly spiraled out of control.

Sips quickly

“Just one more…”
“Oh, come on, is that all? One more…”
“Alright, this is the last one!”

In the end, Aika drank five cans in quick succession. Her face flushed as she began to feel the effects.

Though it was just beer in small cans, drinking it on an empty stomach caused it to hit her harder and faster.

Stumbling

“Ah~ Now I finally feel better…”

And so, Japan’s “strategic weapon” found herself tipsy and unsteady.

If Prime Minister Suguru saw her now, he’d probably be breaking into a cold sweat. If a woman like her caused a scene, it could lead to international incidents.

“Sorry for being late, Aika… Oh, you’re drinking?”

Yu-jin walked in at that exact moment, right after she’d finished venting and drinking away her frustrations.

Seeing her disciple’s return after leaving her alone for an hour, Aika’s anger…

“Oh, disciple~!”
‘Weird, I was planning to be mad, but his face is enough to make it all disappear!’

Her frustration instantly melted away at the sight of him. He was already handsome in her sober eyes, but he was practically dazzling in her tipsy state.

The same charm that had knocked Winter out cold and left Haru’s heart racing seemed to have the same effect on a tipsy, lonely woman.

“Aika, are you… drunk?”

“Nooo~? I just had a little bit of these teeny tiny cans~.”
“I’m really sorry for making you wait….”

“It’s fine! More importantly, will you have a drink with me?”

With that, Aika invited Yu-jin to join her for drinks. Her goal for the night was clear: she intended to get a confession out of him.

In her mind, if they had a few drinks, her disciple would loosen up, and she’d tell him straight: I see you as a man. And then he’d confess his feelings, sweep her up, and carry her to bed.

‘Kyaa~ My disciple is the best!’
“Come sit here, my dear disciple.”

She patted the seat beside her, practically inviting him to come and “devour” her—though, naturally, her clueless disciple didn’t catch her signals.

“Sure.”
‘Perfect. I’ll just have a few drinks with her, and keep things casual…’

Yu-jin smiled and joined his mentor. There was no reason to turn down the chance to share a drink with her.

So, the two began what could have been a cozy drinking session…

Curious look

“But, disciple~? What’s that in your pocket?”

“…Huh?”

“Your pocket is kind of bulging~.”

The evening might have been romantic and pleasant for both of them, but Aika’s curiosity shifted the mood.

The transition went from light romance to horror thriller.

“……!!!”
If she finds out, I’m doomed! She’ll think I brought a bag of Haru’s wet underwear back from the girls’ room!

Yu-jin’s smile froze. Inside his pocket was a plastic bag with Haru’s soaked underwear, which he’d brought with him so Haru wouldn’t find out about the accident. He’d planned to discreetly wash it later and return it to Winter’s bag…

Now there was a real chance his mentor might discover it.

Yu-jin’s heart sank.

“I-I can explain. It’s, um…”
“Ooh~?”

She’s reacting like this? Could it be… a gift for me?

Aika, oblivious to the reality, sipped her “romantic juice,” thinking he’d bought her a gift.

She noticed the odd bulge in his pocket, and to her, there was no question. It had to be a present, perhaps a romantic gesture for her.

‘So that’s why he was late, huh? So cute~.’
“Let’s see what my disciple’s hiding~!!”

Suddenly brimming with excitement, Aika launched herself at him. She’d waited long enough and decided to make the first move.

And she did it with the strength of an S-rank warrior.

“Master, please—oh, wait!”
Did she already grab it!?

For Yu-jin, it felt like a tornado had passed through. Aika had moved so quickly, springing up and reaching into his pocket, leaving him blinking in confusion.

And then…

Grab

“Wait… underwear? Why is this… disciple?”

The shine vanished from Aika’s eyes as she took in the sight of Haru’s soaked underwear.

Under normal circumstances, she’d have given him the benefit of the doubt. But with her alcohol-clouded judgment, she arrived at a completely different conclusion.

Her disciple had sneaked off to steal his daughters’ underwear.

“Whose is this?”
“It’s Haru’s; she had an accident…”
“Then why did you bring it back? Couldn’t you have them wash it?”
“It’s complicated. Haru’s mentally fragile—”
“Lies, lies, lies!”

The patience she’d mustered because of his handsome face finally snapped. She’d been sitting here, heart aching and waiting, and he’d been off… with his daughters’ underwear?

Her mind reeled with frustration and jealousy.

Though the misunderstanding was deeply unfortunate, she responded…

“I swear, I’m telling the truth!”
“If you’re so desperate to see some underwear…!”

Tear

“Look at mine!!!”

In a final act of frustration, Aika tore off part of her clothing to reveal her own lingerie.

If Bbo or Seol Ha-yeon saw this, they’d probably recoil in horror, muttering, “Is she a gorilla…?”

Even Yu-jin was momentarily stunned. He couldn’t believe his mentor had gotten drunk off five small cans of beer.

“W-why are you doing this?”
“If you don’t look, I’ll blow up this hotel!”

But Aika didn’t stop there. She even threatened to destroy the hotel if he didn’t pay attention to her, pushing her antics beyond anything “cute.”

“You’re drunk, Master!”
“No, I’m not! I only had five cans….”

Realizing he was out of options, Yu-jin…

Lift

“...Huh?”
“Alright, let me carry you to bed, my princess!”

He lifted her into a bridal carry, ignoring her flustered state as he hoisted her in her underwear.

Aika’s mind went completely pink.

Wait, my disciple is carrying me in my underwear…? And he called me his princess?

Step-step, plop

But Yu-jin didn’t give her time to process. He gently laid her down on the bed, then…

Stretch

“...!!!?”
My disciple… he’s lying down next to me!?

He lay down beside her, close enough that their breaths mingled, as if they were lovers about to share a tender moment.

“D-disciple, what’s going on?”

Grip

“Do you dislike it?”
“W-what!?”

Without hesitation, Yu-jin pulled her closer, not caring that her body pressed against his. He held her firmly.

Whispering close to her ear

“I really like being with you like this, Master.”

“H-heee…?”

He whispered softly, telling her how much he enjoyed being with her, sending a shiver through Aika’s whole body.

“Let me ask again. Do you really not want to sleep next to me?”

“Well, it’s not that I don’t want to, but…”

“Good. Then that’s settled. Ah, need help taking off your lingerie?”

“...What?”

“If you’re having trouble, I could help you take it off.”

Realizing that he wasn’t joking, Aika’s thoughts spun out of control.

Wait, I thought he was just helping me to bed… but… huh?

Slowly

“Or… would you like to see something ‘interesting’ instead?”

Yu-jin’s hand that had been gently brushing her hair began to move lower, sliding down her shoulder, past her arm, and along her hip.

Finally, his hand reached his own lower body, where something was quite evidently pressing against his pants, firm and unyielding.

“If it’s you, Master, I don’t mind if you take a look.”

“H-huh!?!”

Aika’s face turned crimson as she found herself face-to-face with the unmistakable outline of his “interest.”

The scene closed with Yu-jin lying beside Aika, teasingly offering to fulfill her hopes—though his actions left her so flustered that any romantic intentions she’d had were overwhelmed by sheer surprise.
