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

Chapter 160

Shia and Alice followed behind Yu-jin.
With empty eyes, their faces devoid of reason...
...Their cheeks flushed with emotion.

"I feel good..."
"I'm happy..."

It was a scene that, at first glance, was difficult to comprehend.
The hypnosis Yu-jin had used was only to say, "Follow me to the motel."
There was no hypnosis to excite them, no commands to make them feel aroused.

But... what did it look like to them, the ones involved?
They had entrusted everything to Yu-jin, to the person they loved.
Their souls. Their very essence.

It was an experience so blissful...
That it made them unconsciously excited.

-Whispering.

"Did you see Shia's expression...?"
"Alice? What's with her? Wow, the lust on her face."

To the onlookers, the A-rank Awakeners of Cheonhwa, it was quite a different sight.

It made sense, though. The three of them were standing in front of the motel.
And at that moment, the two women wore such expressions?
It was an easy misunderstanding to make.
"Oh, they're probably going for a threesome," they thought.

"Well, to be honest, if a guy like that told me to go to a motel, I'd probably have that look too."
"Three people? That's a bit much, but with a face like that..."

Despite the misunderstanding, no one was truly upset.
It would have been hard to say anything about forcing them with hypnosis, especially since the two had always shown how much they liked Yu-jin.
If he'd simply asked them to go to the motel without hypnosis, they'd have probably agreed without hesitation.

If there was a problem, it might have been the threesome part...
But even then, it wouldn't be easy for any of them to refuse if Yu-jin made the suggestion.
So no one really wanted to criticize them.

-Shuddering.

"That bastard, using hypnosis on our Shia... Not even just doing it, but using hypnosis to make it happen."
"…Chairman."

But there was one thing that could not be forgiven.
It was the fact that it was happening right in front of Shia's father, Yoo Jeong-cheol.

...Strictly speaking, it wasn't directly in front, but quite a bit behind.
Since they were being tracked by a drone, Yu-jin couldn’t have imagined that his father-in-law was watching.
But that didn’t mean Yoo Jeong-cheol’s stress would disappear.

He was ready to dispatch Awakeners at any moment.
The only reason he hadn't was because of the reputation Yu-jin had built up.

[I'll just handle the traffic situation for a moment.]

"He only tolerates it because you said that. If you use hypnosis to make my daughter embrace you... I, Cheonhwa, will make you our enemy."

And on top of that, he said he was just going to handle the traffic.
But then there were Shia and Alice, fighting recklessly right in front of him.

At this, Yoo Jeong-cheol thought, Hah. Yeah, that solid guy wouldn't act like that in front of me.
If there's no abnormal sexual desire to openly embrace my daughter in front of her father, there's no logical reason for him to do that.
Thinking about it logically, it makes no sense.
Getting angry now and opposing Yu-jin would be the wrong move.

With this in mind, he chose to observe the situation.
It was the kind of judgment expected from the chairman of a large corporation.

"Is surveillance possible?"
"I will buy all the surrounding rooms and install small cameras by drilling through the walls. It will take about 5 minutes."
"Tch. Too long. When can we start eavesdropping?"
"We can start right away. The drone has a microphone attached."
"Once Yu-jin enters the motel, immediately connect the audio."

As overprotective as he was, he couldn’t let go of this.
But as a father, this was something he just couldn’t avoid.

Because of that, in the Cheonhwa Clan’s operations room,
A man and a dozen women were all in a state of intense concentration.
On the large screen, Yu-jin was seen leading the two women into the motel.

They were watching with full attention,
And somehow, it felt like they needed popcorn and cola for the spectacle.

-Sizzling sound.
[Oh my, Seo Yu-jin....]
[You won't be recognized as anything but an ordinary guest for the next 10 minutes.]
[...Wait. Young man, looking for a room? Three people?]
[Yes, just need to talk for a moment...]

"It’s started!"

At just the right moment, the recording began.

Yu-jin’s footsteps echoed steadily. Even the muttering of the motel owner, “Two people at once? Quite lively~,” was captured.

Screech—. With the sound of the door closing, the situation room became a flurry of activity.

“The standby squad, head straight to the location. Rent all the motel rooms and wait there. You may use your abilities if necessary.” “Yes, sir!” “Proceed with installing surveillance cameras immediately…” “The crew already left with the tools and cameras in hand!” “Remind them to be cautious not to get caught.” “They’ve already been informed, but I’ll notify them once more!”

Everything was running without any delay. Despite the sudden mission, no one hesitated.

It was proof that Cheonhwa operated at a level considered the world’s best…

And they were all serious. To confirm just what Shia, Yu-jin, and Alice were planning to do at the motel.

"Please, don’t betray my trust. I won’t fault you for sleeping with Shia, but at least do it sober…"

“Wow, damn. Just imagining it makes me feel excited.”

“Why can’t I get a guy like that? I’d go along even without hypnosis. I could even cover the motel bill.”

Unlike the one man in the group, the women were intrigued for different reasons.

“But isn’t this technically spying? Hypnosis or not, this is an invasion of privacy…”

Honestly, gathering together to watch his daughter’s first experience was pretty unsettling. Still…

Everyone continued moving in a flurry of activity…

[Alright… Shia, Alice. Sit down on the bed.]

"……!!!!"

Yu-jin's voice was captured on the recorder. The previously bustling situation room fell silent, as if on cue.

[And now, each of you… hmm. Move just as I position you.] [Yes…]

Creak, creak.

The sound of a cheap bed creaking followed. It was a sound that vividly suggested what might be unfolding on top of the bed.

“What do you mean, position? What kind of position is our daughter in right now on that bed?”

“If it’s one guy with two women, then it’s got to be… maybe from behind?”

“Not being able to see their faces is such a waste~ Can’t they at least do something with Miss Shia?”

Various scenes flashed through everyone’s minds.

One imagined both women on all fours, presenting themselves to Yu-jin. Another pictured them lying side by side, arms outstretched.

And a few more poses typical of a first experience crossed their thoughts…

[Feels like I’m playing Tetris here.]

"……!!!!?"

“Tetris? Are Shia and Alice stacked on top of each other right now!?” “One lying on her back with her legs spread, and the other on top?”

“Then he could… you know, switch things up at will. Damn, didn’t see that coming.”

With that single comment from Yu-jin, everyone’s imagination veered into acrobatic territory. Their faces turned bright red.

The female awakeners blushed in excitement. Yoo Jeong-cheol…

Trembling.

“That, that, that damn bastard…?”

His blood pressure surged, his face turning red and pale with fury. He was so enraged that even profanities seemed fitting for the normally respectable young man.

[———Hypnosis release. Alright, now you can talk.] […Where is this place, huh?] [What? Miss Shia!? What is going on here?] [Yu-jin, what do you think you’re doing!?]

The voices he heard only fueled his anger, making it clear how shocked the two women were.

A flame ignited in the father’s eyes. Determined to rescue his daughter from that man, he immediately reached out…

“Standby team!! Capture that bastard, now…!”

[Alright, it’s reconciliation time~ Until you two make up, stay in that position! I’ll just watch, so get everything off your chest!]

[What!?]

"……?"

The fiery rage that had flared up like an inferno was suddenly extinguished by Yu-jin’s calming and coaxing tone.

***

Upon arriving at the motel, I got straight to work, setting up the “no exit until you reconcile” room.

After all, those two had been at each other’s throats. Alice, usually so innocent, was yelling about sex and everything else. Shia, equally furious, was throwing insults, calling her a crazy woman and worse. It was an intense fight, just watching it was exhausting.

Not that I couldn’t understand. Both of them were dating me, after all. Alice was angry that her boyfriend went to a motel with a female friend. And Shia was upset over the sudden accusations thrown her way.

I knew I was the cause, so I couldn’t ask why they were fighting.

“These things need to be nipped in the bud. If not, they’ll drag on forever.”

Still, I couldn’t just let it slide.

It wasn’t good for my wives to be at each other’s throats… and they were friends to begin with. Friends calling each other crazy, accusing one of luring me to a motel? It was way over the line.

If they had just half of Kong’s patience, this wouldn’t have happened.

So, I decided to make them reconcile—using a method only a “hypnotic matchmaker” could pull off.

Taptap.

“Alright, let’s get into position…”

Here’s the method for reconciling two wives who have had a fight, taught by a remarried man in his second go-around.

First, sit one wife on the bed. It’s best to seat the heavier one first, so Alice took her spot.

Then, sit Shia on top of her, so they’re face-to-face. Think of it like overlapping L and J blocks in Tetris—it’s easier that way.

Finally, secure their hands together just right. Voilà! The hypnotic matchmaker’s reconciliation pose is complete!

“Alright… holding the position, now return to awareness.”

Snap.

“Okay, you can talk now.”

With that, I released the hypnosis.

A spark returned to my wives’ eyes.

Blink, blink.

“Where… where are we…? Huh? Red fox?” “Miss Shia!? What’s going on…? Get off me!!”

Of course, they didn’t immediately make up. How could two people who were just fighting suddenly reconcile? They glared at each other right away.

Glares.

“Yu-jin, what’s the meaning of this!?” “Yeah! We can’t even move… this is your doing, isn’t it, Yu-jin?”

It took less than ten seconds for their anger to turn toward me.

Their bodies were fixed together, and they both shifted their gazes to me, their eyes filled with anger and confusion.

“Alright, now it’s reconciliation time~.”

Grins.

I didn’t even flinch. Now was the time to settle things. I had no intention of releasing them from the hypnosis until the gap between them was bridged.

“Until you make up, you stay in that position! If you have any grievances, let them out now!” “What?” “You two fought because there’s a lot bottled up. Take this chance to be open with each other. Whatever you didn’t like about each other, just say it.”

My plan was simple. Get them to be honest with each other. Sometimes, things clear up when you talk them through openly.

Just to make sure, I fixed them in a slightly uncomfortable position. With hypnosis, I subtly set a tone of “fair and square, forgive and forget.” With this setup, there was no way they wouldn’t reconcile.

In this environment, I felt like I could even get away with swiping ginseng wine from the chairman.

Clasp.

“Something we don’t like…?” “About Miss Shia?”

With everything in place, the two looked at each other carefully. Their expressions showed that, faced with the task of pointing out flaws, they felt awkward.

I had a good feeling that things would go smoothly from here.

Moments later…

“You keep flirting with him using that pine needle juice or whatever. It’s honestly obnoxious! Just stop it with the silly drink name already!” “Miss Shia, you’re one to talk! Don’t try to seduce Yu-jin in those weird outfits! You don’t even have a big chest, it just looks sad, okay?” “Says the pervert who can’t stop talking about sex, sex, sex all day! What kind of things are you even watching to say that stuff?” “Nothing like that! Really!!” “Yu-jin, check this woman’s phone. I guarantee she’s got something weird on there.” “No, check Miss Shia’s phone! There’s definitely going to be plenty of that stuff!”

"……."

Slides over.

“Alright, I’m really going to check…”

In my hands were their two phones. Or rather, Pandora’s box.
