The World’s Strongest Daughter.

Creak-

The door opened, and a woman resembling Kong Hye-sun poked her head.

“…Hye-sun, shouldn’t you be asleep?”

“Huh? Ye-ji unni? What’s up…?”

Kong Ye-ji.

That was the name of the woman who looked just like Kong Hye-sun, down to the pink hair.

Ye-ji glanced down the hallway before cautiously stepping into the room.

“…Can I turn on the light?”

“Yeah, it’s fine.”

Click-

With Hye-sun’s permission, the lights turned on. Ye-ji, dressed in white, hastily took off her clothes and spoke.

“Ugh… Hye-sun, help me take this off.”

Hye-sun quietly helped her undress without a word.

Underneath Ye-ji’s white outfit was a tracksuit like any student would wear.

“…Ah… That’s better. Thanks.”

Ye-ji unzipped her top and casually asked Hye-sun:

“Hye-sun, is school going okay these days?”

“…Yeah, well….”

At Ye-ji’s question, Hye-sun made an apologetic face while looking at the discarded clothes.

“…What about you unni…? Ah, Dad isn’t giving you a hard time…?”

“Dad? Him… Always pathetic.”

There was a strange sharpness to Ye-ji’s words.

They just asked after each other, but the atmosphere became awkward.

Ye-ji picked off some lint from her clothes and naturally spoke.

“So, who’s that guy?”

“…What? Who…?”

“I heard everything from Mi-ju unni. You’re seeing someone these days, right?”

Hye-sun replied with wide eyes as if taken aback.

“I, I don’t know what you’re talking about… Eek! Unni! Stop that!”

The woman called unni groped Hye-sun’s breasts and said slyly,

“Who is it that you can’t even tell your unni? Are you sleeping separately now?”

Hye-sun quickly covered her chest and yelled.

“No, no! It’s not like that?!”

“Then just tell me. Is he weird?”

“Ji-hwan isn’t that kind of… Eep!”

“Huh? Ji-hwan? Which Ji-hwan? Is it Kim?”

As Ye-ji pressed up against her annoyingly, Hye-sun had no choice but to lower her voice and whisper.

“…Unni. You can’t spread rumors to the other unnis, okay? Absolutely not?”

“What’s so great about twins keeping secrets from each other, if that’s what you want. I absolutely won’t. Come on, spill it.”

“…Really?”

“Really!”

Hye-sun stared at Ye-ji for a moment before letting out a short sigh and slowly opening her mouth.

“…So, well… It’s a guy I saw at the entrance ceremony….”

“Entrance ceremony? The academy?”

“Y-yeah… On the day it snowed a lot….”

The night of the twins passed like that.

Yu Jeon-hee’s POV

I crossed my legs slightly while looking at the photos that popped up on my phone.

The various photos he sent showed how much fun they had today.

From the photo of his daughter in pretty clothes.

A photo of the father and daughter posing together.

A photo together with animals in the background.

A photo taken at a restaurant.

Quite a heartwarming set of photos for a mother.

However.

“…I don’t like it….”

I am a woman before a mother.

It’s naturally unpleasant for my beloved husband to spend time with another woman, no matter what.

Even if she’s the child I gave birth to, it doesn’t change anything.

“….”

I checked the messages I exchanged with my husband again.

[Aren’t the photos I took with So-yeon today so pretty? I think she’s even prettier because she takes after her mom haha ]

[ Our daughter is pretty. Good job entertaining her today. Come back quickly and tell me about it ^^ ]

…If there’s one relief, my husband doesn’t see Min So-yeon as a woman.

I was a little worried since So-yeon looked just like me, but fortunately, what I was concerned about didn’t happen.

The problem is that bitch of a daughter can’t even recognize her own father.

The So-yeon in the photos already had the face of a female in heat.

My many experiences chasing away the bitches hovering around my husband tell me so.

So-yeon is in love with my husband right now.

It’s not severe yet, but judging by the sticky gaze she sends my husband, it won’t be long.

To think such a young bitch is by my husband’s side…

As a wife, I absolutely can’t just sit back and watch.

I want to reveal my husband’s true identity right away and drive them apart.

Even that child would easily give up if she knew his true identity.

She showed a tendency to unusually like her dad since she was young, but no matter what, she wouldn’t lust after her resurrected father.

However, the restriction the “System” placed on my husband is an obstacle.

The fact that he hasn’t revealed his identity until now means an enormous restriction must exist.

Since the “System” is involved, I can’t act rashly.

Those pranksters must have cleverly hidden their intentions.

Then there’s only one way left.

…I have no choice but to get rid of one of them.

Of course, I can’t get rid of that child.

If she properly inherited my blood, she’ll tenaciously crawl back up no matter how much she’s suppressed.

Because that’s what I did.

But… what if my husband gets rid of that child himself?

She’ll definitely slink away on her own, unable to endure her own desires.

Getting that daughter-crazy fool to go along with it is the biggest problem, but it might be possible if I seduce him gently like I always have.

However, I don’t know how far that child’s patience will last.

If he acts as he does with me and that child can’t stand it and attacks him…

Considering his personality and situation, there’s a high chance he’ll reluctantly accept her.

Since he’s the type to find his own pain more tolerable than seeing his child sad, it’s certain.

…I need to do something in advance.

So my husband absolutely cannot accept that child, no matter what.

Tak-

I set my phone down and immediately picked up a bell by the window, ringing it ding-a-ling.

The housemaid appeared in response to the bell.

“Please prepare what I told you about.”

“…Yes, ma’am.”

As the housemaid busily followed my orders, I headed to the bathroom and took off my clothes one by one.

It’s been a while since we slept together, so I should consider how to please my husband.

***

I quietly watched Yoo Ji-hwan’s actions.

He naturally placed the meat he had nicely sliced onto my plate, then started cutting more meat.

I thought maybe he was going to eat it this time, but lo and behold, he placed it on my plate again.

I’m not a child, and it’s not like I don’t know how to use a knife, so why is he taking such good care of me?

“Is it good?”

Just then, Yoo Ji-hwan flashed a bright smile and spoke to me.

“….”

Instead of answering, I quietly picked up some meat and put it in my mouth.

I can’t even tell what it tastes like because my heart is pounding so hard.

As I mechanically chewed while sneaking a glance across the table, Yoo Ji-hwan finally looked satisfied and started putting food on his own plate.

…You jerk.

Rather than these little considerate gestures, I want to hear sincere words from you…

Whether he knew how I felt or not, Yoo Ji-hwan continued eating with a calm face.

After finishing the somewhat uncomfortable meal,

It was finally time to head home.

Yoo Ji-hwan suggested we take a taxi.

“…A taxi?”

“Yeah, I think the subway will be crowded.”

“…Sure, whatever.”

I couldn’t bring myself to say I preferred the subway.

And so we hailed a taxi and got off a little distance from my house.

Originally, the plan was to get off right in front of the house, but…

I stubbornly insisted I wanted to walk, barely buying some time.

Even so, the tactless Yoo Ji-hwan asked if he should go straight home.

…Clueless bastard.

I barely held back from smacking him.

When we got out of the taxi, the sky had long since turned dark, with only the occasional street lamp illuminating the road.

As I intentionally slowed my steps to kill time, Yoo Ji-hwan finally opened his mouth.

“So-yeon. Are you cold?”

It wasn’t what I was hoping to hear, but I nodded in response.

Actually, I don’t have time to feel cold.

All my attention is focused on him, so I don’t feel cold, tired, or anything at all.

“…Today was fun. Right?”

“…Yeah.”

I softly replied to his prompting for agreement.

Really, it was a satisfying day, separate from my impatient heart.

I could relive memories with my family and received a precious gift from Yoo Ji-hwan.

There was an unpleasant incident in the middle, but I was compensated enough for it, so it’s fine.

Now, there’s just one thing left.

Getting confirmation from Yoo Ji-hwan.

I purposely dragged things out like this to drop hints. He wouldn’t just gloss over it, right?

…Right?

I felt a bit anxious, but I tried to calm my nerves and stall for as much time as possible.

And then…

“Go in and rest. Let’s meet next week.”

“…What?”

The thing I feared happened.

… That’s it?

Go in and rest? Could you rest easy if you were me?

I thought maybe he wanted to come inside since he walked me all the way to my house, but I was wrong.

“… What’s wrong?”

It was all my misunderstanding.

It’s my fault for expecting anything from this frustrating bastard…

“…Do you have something to say?”

I recalled what my “friends” had said in unison last night.

If that dunce remains stupid until the end, there’s only one way.

“So-yeon….”

“…Hey, Yoo Ji-hwan.”

I stepped closer to him and looked him straight in the eye.

“Do you like me?”

At that moment, Yoo Ji-hwan’s eyes trembled.

“… Don’t dodge the question. Answer me straight. You like me, right?”
