June 5, 2033 | 05:30 AM | Inside the Bedroom...

  Mook sat up on the bed, rubbing his left arm which felt completely numb. For the entire night, Rina had claimed his arm as a pillow, using it instead of the actual ones. Mook blinked rapidly, his eyes drifting to the other two girls still fast asleep. They were wearing modest pajamas, yet their pale skin and striking figures were still enough to draw Mook’s gaze.

  “Natsuki and Hana, right...” Mook murmured their names as he observed their appearances.

  ‘Kamisaki Natsuki’ had short-cropped black hair, giving her a cool, handsome tomboy look. Even though her pajamas covered her up, her sturdy shoulders and slender, white neck were still visible. Her personality seemed tough, yet it hinted at a hidden sweetness.

  As for ‘Aizawa Hana,’ she had an incredibly youthful face and a tiny frame—so small that if you saw her from behind, with her hair flowing down to her waist, you might mistake her for a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. However, her body stood in stark contrast to her face. Beneath those sweet-colored pajamas were breasts so full they seemed ready to burst the buttons of her shirt. She had once insisted firmly to him that she was indeed twenty-four years old.

  Rustle!

  Rina, who was sleeping right between Mook and the two maidservants, suddenly bolted upright. She flashed a sweet smile that didn't quite reach her eyes before greeting him. “Ohayou!” She intentionally dragged out the last syllable in a terrifyingly high pitch. That smile sent an inexplicable shiver down Mook’s spine.

  Mook quickly grabbed the translator device and put the earbud on Rina before trying to change the subject. “Good morning... let’s go take a shower.”

  “Mm-hmm,” Rina replied curtly.

  ***

  One hour later...

  All four of them sat in a circle, having a meal together. During this time, Rina was being exceptionally attentive to Mook, feeding him every single bite. Furthermore, she made sure to block any chance of him uttering a single word to the other two girls. To put it simply, Rina was consumed by such intense jealousy that it was beginning to feel borderline threatening.

  Clink!

  Mook stole a quick glance at the corner where a surveillance camera was installed. He knew very well that Mr. Saito had placed it there. Little by little, he was beginning to figure out Saito’s personality. The man was decent to an extent, but the bitterness of being wrongly imprisoned for five years had turned him into a paranoid individual who viewed women as mere objects. Seeing Rina starting to act so possessive made Mook worry about the potential negative consequences.

  For the past five days, Mook hadn't touched the two new girls at all. The first reason was that Rina was monitoring his every move. But the more important reason was that he cared about Rina enough to want only her. Yet, even with his good behavior, Rina wouldn't stop being jealous. Mook knew he had to find a way to ‘brake’ her emotions before they spiraled out of control.

  When the meal ended...

  “I’m going to visit my mother today. Do you want to come along, Rina?” Mook invited. Rina’s face lit up instantly, and she agreed without a second thought.

  “Mm-hmm!”

  12:00 PM

  “She’s so beautiful. Who is she, son?” Mild asked, looking at the lovely young woman in a tidy, cream-toned outfit who was walking in arm-in-arm with her son. Mild was sitting in a wheelchair with a nurse looking after her.

  “She’s my girlfriend, Mom,” Mook answered directly and firmly.

  Whip! Rina whipped her head around to look at Mook in shock. He had never once officially asked her to be his girlfriend. Now that he had said it right in front of his mother, she was so embarrassed that her face turned bright red, and she didn't dare meet the elder's gaze.

  This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

  “Is that so? You didn't get tricked by a Japanese girl, did you?” Mild teased. Looking at her son’s face, she found it hard to believe he could land such a beautiful girl. Even Mint, who couldn't compare to Rina at all, had heartlessly abandoned him.

  Mook paused for a moment. He had forgotten that his mother probably thought Rina couldn't understand Thai. He quickly pointed to his right ear. “She has a translator device, Mom.”

  Mild turned to look at Rina’s earbud. “Oh! She’s so lovely and polite. I’m sure she was raised and taught well by her parents. She suits you perfectly, son.”

  “It’s too late for that now, Mom...” Mook teased back jokingly before they headed to a restaurant to celebrate a special meal.

  Currently, Mook’s mother had to stay in Japan longer. The doctor claimed she needed six months of therapy to fully recover. Although a Thai friend had whispered that this condition could be cleared in a month, it seemed the hospital wanted to keep this deep-pocketed client for as long as possible. Mr. Saito had already taken care of all the expenses.

  Inside the restaurant...

  “Listen, son. Your brother wants to visit me. Buy a ticket for him, will you?” Mild found a moment to bring up ‘Mew,’ her youngest son.

  “Is he coming to visit or coming for a vacation, Mom? And do I have to pay for his hotel too?” Mook narrowed his eyes at his mother knowingly. His mother always pampered Mew, and he knew well that Mew didn't really want to visit her—he just wanted to vacation in Japan.

  “Oh, come on, son. Let him come. He just graduated, after all.”

  “Four days and three nights only, Mom,” Mook raised his fingers and spoke in a firm, stern voice. “That’s all I’m giving him.”

  “Alright... thank you so much, son,” Mild said in an affectionate tone. She felt a bit guilty but truly couldn't help pampering her youngest child.

  After settling the plane ticket matter, Mild turned to chat warmly with Rina, her daughter-in-law-to-be, about various things to ensure the atmosphere at the table was filled with happiness.

  06:30 PM

  In the evening... after taking his mother out to buy some supplies, Mook returned to eat the meal that Natsuki and Hana had prepared. Afterward, he invited Rina to take a shower with him.

  Grab!

  The moment they entered the bathroom, Mook pulled Rina into a hug from behind.

  “Wait... let me take off my clothes first...” Rina resisted slightly, trying to pry his hands off.

  “I’m not trying to do that... I want to talk to you,” Mook whispered.

  “Talk?” Rina looked confused.

  “Yeah. About whether we are officially boyfriend and girlfriend yet.”

  Rina felt her face burning up, her heart pounding uncontrollably. Although they had been through countless battles of love together, an official request like this meant everything to a woman like her. “I... I don't know...”

  “So, we are?” Mook said in an endearing tone.

  “Let me think about it first...” Rina replied in a faint voice.

  “My mom already knows about us. Are you still going to think about it?”

  “Ngee... okay, then. We are.”

  “Since we’re dating, we have to trust each other. And you have to stop being so intensely jealous,” Mook concluded, giving Rina’s right cheek a deep, long kiss.

  “When was I jealous...? I wasn't jealous at all,” Rina looked away frantically.

  “I promise I won't be unfaithful. I won't touch those two at all. But Rina, you have to tone down the jealousy. I don't know what Mr. Saito will think, but if it doesn't end well, it will be difficult for both of us,” Mook began explaining his reasons to make her understand.

  Hearing this, Rina glanced around the bathroom—one of the few rooms where Master Saito hadn't installed surveillance cameras. That was likely why Mook chose to talk to her here.

  “Was my jealousy too much?” she asked in a low voice.

  “Right now, it’s not too bad. But it shouldn't get any stronger than this.”

  Rina turned around to meet Mook’s eyes with a serious gaze. “Promise me first that you won't cheat on me.”

  “I promise,” Mook replied, hugging Rina warmly.

  “If you break your promise... Rina will truly stab you until your guts spill out!” Rina spoke with a sweet, joyful smile while hugging Mook tightly.

  However, the young man’s smile vanished instantly.

  Mook blinked several times, a terrifying sensation racing down his spine. He thought to himself in horror... ‘S-stab until my guts spill out! Did I just get a... Yandere for a girlfriend?!’
