Chapter 319-321: Ulleungdo Patriotic Party (1-3)
The pension on Ulleungdo belonged to the Secret Society.
Even within the Society, it's not a place just anyone can enter, but I was the one who set the criteria for 'anyone.'
In other words, if I wanted to invite someone, they could come here.
Just like how Baek Seol-hee experienced her first true patriotic act here, anyone who wished to could come here.
So, I invited Yoon Iseon.
She didn't take off her Taeguk Watch and boarded a boat to Ulleungdo, but rather flew straight to the pension using Yumir's dimensional portal. She also deserved to enjoy a rest here.
Unlike Yumir, who was an intern, Yoon Iseon was a full-fledged member of the Secret Society.
"Iseon, enjoy yourself to the fullest."
"There's no better place to recover your mana than here."
Yun Hye-ra and Hyeon Se-rin, sitting next to me, beckoned Yoon Iseon to come closer.
Their gestures were like those of villainous henchwomen trying to corrupt a hero, and in fact, these two (former) virgin ghosts were persuading Yoon Iseon.
"Hey, Do Ji-hwan is really tasty."
"Why don't you try it too?"
"Am I a spring potato?"
I lightly pressed the backs of Yun Hye-ra and Hyeon Se-rin's heads with my hands, but they continued to persuade Yoon Iseon as if my attack didn't bother them at all.
Well, that makes sense; there are two people, but only one body.
"Yumir."
"Yes, Iseon."
"I came to soak in the hot springs, but I'm so shocked right now."
Yoon Iseon stared intently at Yumir, who was sitting right in front of me, and looked her up and down.
Her mana pouch and everything below it were submerged in the hot spring water, but there was no need to explain what was beneath it.
When you reached the S-rank level, even with just mana-assisted vision, you could easily see through transparent water.
Just as you could see the bottom of clear waters in places like Guam or Saipan, you could easily see through the bubbles in the hot spring.
In other words.
Yoon Iseon could see.
The reason why Yumir was currently clinging to me.
And the reason why she was sitting on top of me while I sat cross-legged.
"Really, it's the very embodiment of shock and awe. I never imagined the Secret Society would be like this."
"More patriotic than you thought?"
"Is this for the sake of the nation?"
"Of course. The elders say that in this era of low birth rates, having and raising children is the ultimate act of patriotism."
It's a saying that's like the slogan of this country, this era, this world.
"Iseon, did you know? Up until about 2,000 years ago, Korean statisticians thought that if the low birth rate and aging population continued, Korea—the Korean people—would naturally go extinct in about 3,000 years."
"Wouldn't surviving for 3,000 years be considered a long time?"
"But now it's different. After the Great Cataclysm, the birth rate has exponentially increased. Statistically, it's now more likely that other ethnic groups will go extinct."
"Koreanization of the entire world? Oh, come on."
Yoon Iseon let out a hollow laugh and pointed at the three women clinging to me.
"Blonde, white-haired, and red-haired beauties, but they're marrying Korean men and the children they have are considered Korean...."
"Said the pink-haired one."
"Yumir, don't speak. Every word you say sounds like a moan."
"A moan? Haha, that's just because my body is warm...."
"You mean the hot spring water is warm?"
"Huhu-hung."
Yumir shrugged her shoulders and leaned back.
Due to the angle, I couldn't see Yoon Iseon face-to-face, but Yumir twisted her body slightly, leaned her head back over my shoulder, and made eye contact with Yoon Iseon again.
"Teacher, aren't you embarrassed?"
"I have nothing to be embarrassed about."
"Why not?"
"Because I'm confident in my body. There's nothing about my body to be ashamed of."
"Wow, you're completely different from when you're at the library and when you're at the hot springs."
"It's natural to behave differently when you're cosplaying as a regular person and when you're acting as a Society executive."
When you were in a place where you had to care about people's gazes, you naturally behaved with decorum. But in a place where you could fully express yourself, acting freely was better for mental health.
"Still, Iseon, I won't force you. Just make the right judgment regarding these two executives' proposals."
"If I accept their proposal, what will you do, teacher?"
"If you don't act patriotically, you're a traitor. If you're going to keep living in Korea, you have to be patriotic."
"Ha...."
Yoon Iseon tilted her head back and looked up at the sky.
"Who would have thought...."
"Iseon, we're not asking to take over your body or anything. We're just saying, if we're going to do it anyway, why not make it more efficient by overlapping."
"Yeah. If you're uncomfortable, you don't have to overlap with me. You can overlap with Hye-ra. Hye-ra's a fire type too."
"Hey. Does that really matter in this situation? The important thing is to enjoy it as it is. It's Iseon's choice; forcing her wouldn't be right."
"Is that so? Well, I like anyone, really. Hee-hee."
Yun Hye-ra and Hyeon Se-rin spoke nonchalantly, but they were pressuring Yoon Iseon with their eyes.
"Is this what they call workplace bullying?"
"Wouldn't it be more like an unfair command from a superior?"
"Strictly speaking, they're superiors from another department, so you don't have to follow their orders. Yoon Iseon is directly under me."
That's how the hierarchy worked.
That's why the two executives could only make requests to Yoon Iseon, not force her.
Force her to do what?
To be patriotic.
"Iseon, no matter if the other party is Director Do, the first time can always be painful, you know? Should I do it for you instead?"
"I can do it for you too. It's just that the first time is scary, but if you try again, it's something you can handle. Hmm? You just need to stay still and feel it."
"It seems like the level of conversation is getting higher."
"We were speaking indirectly, but the level was already at its peak, wasn't it?"
Indeed.
Though we're talking in somewhat refined language, considering this was an outdoor hot spring where others might hear us, we're actually directly discussing the atmosphere and foundation of this island.
Korea.
Ulleungdo.
An island where the Taegeukgi fluttered in the wind.
A place where the red and blue, the yin and yang, merged into one to create harmony.
The patriotism practiced here was, in many ways, the most effective.
"Excuse me, Teacher."
"Yes."
"You said Taejo did it with four idols at once, right?"
"Yes, I did."
I told Yoon Iseon.
It's not really a secret; it had already caused a huge gossip frenzy just because the newspapers reported that Taejo stayed at the same hotel as four idols.
"Is that true?"
"You saw it on SNS, didn't you? The four of them posted pictures with the Taegeukgi, each holding one-fourth of it, and forming the four trigrams."
Taejo spent the night with all four of them.
It's hard to say anyone was at fault because Taejo, as a figure, was the most approachable S-rank man for female idols, actresses, famous celebrities, and ability users.
"Times have changed a lot. It might be that the patriarchal Confucian values have been revived. A capable man keeping multiple women."
"Oh, but there are cases where it's not like that."
"Right. Over in South America, there's an S-rank woman who lives with multiple men."
"If you think about it that way, the world might truly be moving toward an era of genuine gender equality. Amazing."
A time when both men and women with abilities could enjoy everything.
Though the term 'ability' was often associated with special powers or superpowers, in modern capitalist times, there were instances where capitalists, even if they married one person, didn't live with just one partner.
Therefore,
"It's true that we now live in an era where it's not strange for ability users to live with multiple partners."
"So, Teacher, are you saying it's okay for you to be surrounded by three women because it's the trend of the times?"
"It's not so much the trend of the times, but rather, this is the easiest and fastest way I can contribute to world peace."
Taejo's case might be a bit promiscuous and extreme, but it's not a huge problem for me to be seeing multiple women.
"If you're not smart, you have to solve things with your body. What's the easiest way to be patriotic? Contributing to the increase in the birth rate, of course."
"......So."
Yoon Iseon pointed at Yun Hye-ra and Hyeon Se-rin.
"No matter who, are they suggesting that they possess my body and have a relationship with you?"
"That's what they're saying."
"Teacher, do you want to be patriotic with me?"
"If you want it."
Since she's a member of the Society, and my team member, I had no reason to refuse.
"If you don't love me, but you're interested, then satisfying your curiosity isn't a bad thing."
"But you're a married man."
"But I'm an ability user. It's all done with 'consent'."
"......This is getting more complicated. So."
Yoon Iseon pressed her fingers to her temples and pointed at Yumir sitting in front of me.
"Are the two executives going to possess Yumir's and my bodies respectively, so that two bodies can enjoy pleasure as four people?"
"That's correct, Iseon."
"As expected, you're smart. You didn't become S-rank for nothing."
The two (former) virgin ghosts, now slowly persuading Yoon Iseon, licked their lips as they leaned in closer to her.
"Think of it as helping your older sisters feel rejuvenated. Hmm? We'll assist you with everything, so just share with us for a little while. How about it?"
"Want some help with handling fire? I was one of the top three flame masters in the world, and I still am. I can share my expertise."
"I can teach you in detail how to handle a goblin club."
"Ugh...."
Yoon Iseon was wavering.
I just focused on Yumir and respected whatever choice Yoon Iseon would make.
"Ah."
Yumir gave me a sly smile, then turned to Yoon Iseon and spoke with a grin.
"Now that I think about it, my first time wasn't with Teacher, but with the Goblin."
Splash.
"Hey."
Yoon Iseon grabbed Yumir's shoulder tightly.
"What did you just say?"
"If you press that hard....!"
Bubble bubble.
The hot spring water momentarily bubbled.
[=Chapter 320: Ulleungdo Patriotic Party (2)=]
Yoon Iseon was a severe Goblin fanatic.
She favored the idol known as Goblin and joined the Secret Society following his suggestion.
So when Yumir casually dropped a bombshell in front of her, Yoon Iseon couldn't help but explode.
"Did you really do that?"
"Yes."
Ignoring Yumir, who was lying face down in a corner with her head bowed, Yoon Iseon came right up to me and began questioning.
"How?"
"I don't think it's something to discuss in front of others. After all, it was Yumir's 'first time.'"
"Hmm. That's important."
Hyeon Se-rin approached Yumir, who was lying down, helped her into an upright position, and pressed her cheeks with her hands.
"You really should tell us how it happened."
"......."
"Oh my, if you don't speak up, we'll make it even more difficult for you."
Yoon Hye-ra also approached and started to torment Yumir, who was stubbornly keeping her mouth shut.
"Why are you so sullen? You were the one who brought it up."
"Now that I've done it, I'm regretting it."
"That's why you need to stop doing things like that."
How many times had Yumir suddenly rushed into things?
She still didn't seem to realize that these actions could lead to her self-destruction or crossing a line.
Of course, the fact that it's related to our 'patriotism' or confined to that was certainly a positive thing, but once again, Yumir had caused trouble.
"Yumir. I can't let this slide. Tell us in detail. Did you do it with the teacher, or did you really do it with Goblin?"
"Uh, um...."
As the three of them stared at her from different directions, Yumir looked at me.
It wasn't a signal for help but a signal asking if it was okay to speak.
"I'm fine with it. As long as you are."
"Th-Then."
Yumir cleared her throat and straightened her posture.
Meanwhile, I took a short break and grabbed the two dragon orbs lying on the ground, gathering mana.
"Then, I'll tell you."
After taking a deep breath, Yumir said.
"On Sejong Island, outdoors, on a cliff overlooking the sea, I created a chair with mana and did it there."
"Wow."
As expected from a sudden action expert.
At Yumir's explicit and revealing words, not only Yoon Iseon but also the two women who had been egging her on unknowingly took a step back from Yumir. RаΝǒβĘS
"F-First time... outdoors?"
"Th-The cliff... oh, maybe there was a cave below the cliff or something, right?"
"No. It was just right on top of the cliff overlooking the precipice."
"Wow...."
Yoon Hye-ra alternately looked at me and Yumir, letting out a hollow laugh.
"You two really went all out from the start, huh?"
"Why are you surprised? I was just confirming the effect of the barrier."
I pointed to the empty sky.
"Even though we're out in the open like this, looking up at the night sky while chatting, we can still talk freely about the Secret Society, thanks to that barrier."
Visual distortion, invisibility, soundproofing.
Even if you looked at it from satellite images, it didn't look any different from the surroundings, and even if someone came to investigate, they wouldn't sense anything unless they directly touched the barrier.
It's like a magic mirror; you couldn't see inside from the outside, but you could see everything outside from within.
Within that barrier, what happened was nothing more than a patriotic act for boosting the birth rate and international peace.
"So, so, what exactly did you do outside?"
"Um.... We were both transformed at the time, into the Platinum Sun and the Goblin."
Yumir extended her hands forward and began rubbing them together with her wet hands.
"We just opened up the necessary parts and clung to each other. Since we were in clothes, it was easy to get out."
"......And the mask?"
"It felt something like this."
I placed my hand on my face and activated my mana.
Soon, a Goblin mask, like the one Yumir wore, appeared, covering my lower face up to my nose.
"We had to make eye contact."
"Wow...."
"And the mouth?"
"Um... did we use our mouths?"
"You can't forget that."
"Hehe, we did it so many times afterward.... Oh, but, Iseon."
Yumir reached out her hand toward Yoon Iseon.
"But, I only did it with the Goblin once. That first time."
"And after that?"
"...I've been sneaking into the teacher's house every day...?"
Yumir wiggled her fingers in embarrassment.
"Hmm, hmm. That's a commendable attitude. Doing it every day is not enough."
"Honestly, if it weren't for the Secret Society's work, and if we were still alive, I would seriously be by your side 24/7."
"What are you saying? You weakling."
"...I can do it three times more than you."
"What's the point of fighting over meaningless things?"
After mediating the argument that was about to start between the two officers, I turned to Yoon Iseon.
"If you want to do it with the mask on, I can do that. But if you use mana while doing it, it'll be a bit tough."
"Tough, how?"
"Using mana activates your body, so it'll be much more sensitive than usual."
"Oh, then what I did back then...?"
"The sensitivity would have been quite high. Of course, you were using mana too, so the conditions would have been the same."
Even if it's between ability users, there's a big difference in whether one used mana to enhance the body or not.
"Teacher. So, how do you usually do it?"
"Without mana."
"...What happens if you do it with mana?"
"You'd practically die. It's like passing out and falling asleep."
"...Uh, excuse me."
Yumir's face turned pale for a moment.
"When I pass out usually...."
"Sometimes it's when I use mana, but most of the time, I don't. But there's also this, right? You're just more sensitive."
"Ugh...."
Yumir sank into the water.
She buried her face halfway in the water, only her eyes visible above, as she quietly closed her mouth.
"So, Iseon. What do you want to do?"
"......Give me a moment."
Yoon Iseon stood up.
"...Transform."
And then, as she activated her mana, Yoon Iseon's body began to glow pink.
Saaah.
As the mist cleared, Yoon Iseon grew larger.
Her hair color darkened, and Yoon Iseon fully transformed into a fire fox, becoming a form that could rival the other three without any shame.
"Teacher, how do I look?"
"You look beautiful."
"...It's a bit embarrassing when you say it so bluntly."
"Is it really embarrassing when you're showing it off so openly in front of me?"
"...Hmph."
Yoon Iseon sat down next to me.
Our shoulders touched, and I could feel her rough breathing right beside me.
"I usually try to keep calm, but she keeps showing off like that, and it made me a bit mad."
"Hmm, hmm."
"...Uh, can I ask you something?"
"Ask me anything."
Yoon Iseon, still glaring at Yumir, who was still submerged in the water, turned her head towards me.
"...Is it considered adultery if I do it with Director Do after doing it with the Goblin?"
"What?"
"Then, isn't Yumir committing adultery?"
"Hey!"
Yumir jumped out of the water.
"How is that adultery!"
"You're doing it with both the Goblin and Do Ji-hwan. That's a two-timing adulteress."
"That's not it!"
"Is that how it is?"
"Hmm... It might be."
Yoon Hye-ra and Hyeon Se-rin joined Yoon Iseon in ganging up on Yumir.
"E-rank student Yumir is having a fling with Librarian Do Ji-hwan, and Platinum Sun Yumir is having a fling with Villain Goblin. What an octopus!"
"Did you know about this?"
"I knew, but from what I heard, she was testing the waters until her identity was fully revealed."
"That was the same for the teacher, wasn't it?"
"Yeah, that's right."
I confidently raised my hand.
"I two-timed both Yumir and Platinum Sun."
"...If the teacher admits that, I become an adulteress!"
"You're already an adulteress. Everyone here who's patriotic with me is an adulteress."
Baek Seol-hee, Yumir, Yoon Hye-ra, and Hyeon Se-rin—all of them were patriotic adulteresses.
"Well... still, don't be too harsh. Yumir approached because she knew Do Ji-hwan was the Goblin."
"Ugh... this is like giving someone a disease and then giving them the medicine."
"That's what happens when you provoke the wrong person for no reason, Iseon."
I placed my hand on Yoon Iseon's head.
"Whether it's the Secret Society or ability users, I have only one thing to say."
"What is it?"
"Act according to your heart."
"......."
Yoon Iseon closed her eyes for a moment at those words, then looked at me with a determined face.
"Teacher."
"Yes."
"I'm going to Jeju Island this time."
"...You too?"
"Yes. I heard today that I'm also going for the summer camp."
I see.
So Yoon Iseon was joining us on Jeju Island.
"You're going to Jeju Island too, right, teacher?"
"Of course."
"Then...."
Yoon Iseon fidgeted with her fingers before extending one hand toward me.
"Is it okay if my first time isn't on Ulleungdo but on Jeju Island?"
"...Is there a difference?"
"Yes. Well, it's a bit awkward to say this, but..."
Yoon Iseon made a resolute face, briefly glaring at Yumir before speaking again.
"...When I started dating a guy, I wanted to go on a trip to Jeju Island with him."
"A romantic dream."
"...Is that not possible?"
"It's possible. But I have one question."
I removed my mask and asked Yoon Iseon.
"In Jeju Island, do you want to do it with Do Ji-hwan, or with the Goblin?"
"......."
"I'll do whatever you want. What do you want?"
"Then."
Yoon Iseon hooked her pinky finger with mine and slowly opened her mouth.
"Dating with Do Ji-hwan, marriage with the Goblin."
"...Two-timing?"
"Yes. I'm going to go all out this time."
Yoon Iseon twisted her lips into a smile as she looked at the stunned Yumir.
"Teacher, you know that, right? Unlike Yumir, I'm still a newbie."
"......."
"I was a high school girl until last year."
"......!"
Ah.
"Isn't something new better than something used?"
Now I understood why people say you shouldn't mess with an otaku's favorite character.
"Right?"
"T-Teacher...!"
Yumir, trembling and looking like she was about to cry, placed her hand on her chest and opened her mouth.
"I still have one new thing left...!"
"You've got to be kidding me."
Thud.
I threw the dragon orb at Yumir's forehead.
"There's no need to compete over that!"
Whether the meteor counter went up or not, I had to say this.
"If you want to do that, you can do it whenever you want!"
"...Oh my, really?"
Yoon Hye-ra blushed and looked embarrassed.
"Then, shall we... What are you doing? Why are you reacting like that?"
"...Nyang hyang hyang."
Hyeon Se-rin awkwardly turned her gaze away.
"Well, you know."
Everyone's eyes turned to Hyeon Se-rin.
"...Even a patriot can lay down their patriotism and have fun sometimes, right?"
[=Chapter 321: Ulleungdo Patriotic Party (3)=]
When a man and a woman meet and get married, they give birth to an ability user. Wasn't that common sense for a married couple?
This had become the truth of this world after the Great Cataclysm.
The meeting of a man and a woman was simply for the purpose of having children.
Everything was deemed necessary for childbirth, for raising future leaders of the industry.
Thus, the term "DINK (Double Income No Kids)" did not exist in this world.
Even if there were such couples, the term itself wouldn't exist, as it didn't form a large enough group to establish a social phenomenon or terminology.
However, not every meeting ended in marriage and childbirth.
-I'm going to date freely, and then get married.
-Do you really have to have children just because you get married? Can't I be someone who doesn't need to have a child?
-A couple can enjoy their time together before having children.
Some people pursued freedom, some pursued relationships, and some pursued love, delaying having children.
-Hey! Having an ability user is like hitting the jackpot, why wouldn't you want to have one! The younger you are, the higher the chances of having an ability user!
-But I'm not mentally or financially prepared to raise a child.
-The state will raise them, so what's the problem?
-What if a non-ability user child is born? Will you raise them? Will you buy a house and all that?
-Kuhm...!
Sometimes people gave up due to economic circumstances.
Anyway.
These people were often jokingly called unpatriotic or traitors, but it's not that they really lacked patriotism; it's more of a self-deprecating joke among themselves.
And to delay the process of accepting a new life, they had resorted to various methods, from traditional to medical.
"Well, yeah, I did it from behind."
One of those methods was exactly what Hyeon Se-rin is talking about.
"What do you mean from behind?"
"What do you think? I imported firearms."
"...Ah, right? You're not talking about what I think you're talking about, right?"
"Who knows...?"
It seemed Hyeon Se-rin's shoulders shrugged.
The three women blushed and looked back and forth between Hyeon Se-rin and me, exchanging meaningful glances.
"Hey, Director Do. Could you explain?"
"It's a bit awkward to say it myself, but one of the unique advantages of those who form their bodies with mana is this."
This was true.
"It was fine doing it from behind. No special preparation was needed."
"Huh. You should clarify your words. You mean there was no difference whether you prepared or not?"
"That's true. Well... that's how it is. If I were told to do it with Hye-ra right here, I could do it right away. Without any prior preparation."
"...No, I wouldn't do that."
Yun Hye-ra turned her head away, but her ears were still perked up.
"Hey, unnie. When did you even do that? Huh?"
"Not while I was alive, after I died. Well, that..."
Hyeon Se-rin fiddled with her lips, then looked at Yoon I-seon with a meaningful smile.
"Was it on Jeju Island...?"
"Jeju Island?"
"Oh, right. You might not know much about it. What kind of place Jeju Island is."
"Hey, you're not saying..."
The relatively innocent Yumir and Yoon I-seon didn't understand Hyeon Se-rin's words, but Yun Hye-ra immediately stiffened her face and glared at Hyeon Se-rin.
"You went to Jeju Island with him?"
"That's right. Anyway, we can't have children with this body. We just went to test it out. There are plenty of drugs, tools, and devices there for that. I didn't do anything special, just..."
Hyeon Se-rin clenched her fists with both hands, then wiggled them next to her face.
"I just tried a little cat play, nyang."
Ulleungdo was a sacred place of patriotism.
And most of the people who visited here were newlyweds or couples in de facto relationships who were about to get married.
Of course, even if that's not the case, they could still travel to Ulleungdo, but it's rare for people to visit a place where the cost per night exceeded one million won with a light heart.
So, where would be the best place for couples to travel to on the island?
Considering the couple's budget, Jeju Island would be appropriate.
It's a place you had to fly to, and it had been well-established as a tourist destination for a long time. It was more stable than overseas, and if the cost of traveling abroad and to Jeju Island was similar, Jeju Island became the most suitable place.
But then, a problem arose.
Ulleungdo was a place where you went to seal the deal.
Then what about Jeju Island?
"The Mecca of adultery...."
Late at night.
A silver-haired woman, Baek Seol-hee, sat alone in front of the computer, clicking the mouse while staring at the monitor light.
Jeju Island.
It had been said that there were three things abundant in Jeju Island.
There were many women.
There were many stones.
And there was also a lot of wind.
That's right. Wind.
Jeju Island has become the sacred place of wind, the Mecca of adultery.
Of course, some might say,
"What are you talking about? How could that wind become that wind? Talk sense."
But just like any forced fit, Jeju Island has become the sacred place of wind.
-True_story_of_a_tangerine_country_trip.
-Story_about_having_fun_in_Jeju.
-Climbed Hallasan with my partner...
"Tsk."
Baek Seol-hee clicked her tongue as she browsed through the materials about Jeju Island, biting her lower lip.
"Why did this place become like this?"
Jeju Island was just a tourist attraction, so why did it turn into a place like this?
There might be various reasons for this, but the main reason is probably that it's a large island, slightly detached from the Korean Peninsula.
Jeju Island was an island, a resort, and a tourist destination.
When people traveled, it was usually to go abroad, but Koreans couldn't easily travel overseas.
Just look at the incidents in Thailand.
Kidnapping Koreans to use them as breeding stock—such cases didn't only happen in Thailand, did they?
In places with even slightly poor public security, passports disappeared, and people couldn't return home.
Even those traveling abroad for business did so in pairs, only going to places with safe security, so how could people freely travel overseas?
To get the feeling of traveling, Koreans chose Jeju Island instead of going abroad.
You often saw four men traveling around Jeju Island instead of Southeast Asia, meeting four women who also came together at a guesthouse, and enjoying tangerine soju by the sea.
Some people said this:
Jeju Island had become the island of the insiders.
As the youth districts in Seoul deteriorated, and the high-ups looking at Busan's Haeundae caused young people to seek other places, Jeju Island became the place they found, where they could escape the gaze of others without much economic burden.
"Patriotism on the peninsula, and let loose in Jeju, huh."
Baek Seol-hee tried to suppress the grin that formed as she read the slogan someone had jokingly thrown out.
"An island where you can enjoy freedom between men and women without the burden of having children."
If you want to have children, then go to Ulleungdo. If you want to enjoy a fun trip and make memories between men and women, go to Jeju Island.
After the Great Cataclysm.
Jeju Island reestablished itself as a tourist destination in this way.
During the chaos of Korea's capital moving from Seoul to Busan, as Korea stepped forward to lead the world, and as people became reluctant to go abroad.
Jeju Island, in order to solidify its position as a tourist destination, opened up various things.
What exactly was opened up can be better understood by visiting the place.
"So, the sacred place of adultery."
They said that even a Confucian scholar loosened his hatstrings in Jeju Island.
Even a lady from a noble family lightly loosened her jacket in Jeju Island.
Most visitors to Jeju Island came with similar purposes, creating a tacit understanding among them.
Most importantly, because relatively fewer ability users were born in Jeju Island, people with such intentions flocked there.
Why did Sejong Island, Ulleungdo, and the cities near the East Coast see a sudden rise?
Why was the capital moved from Seoul to Busan?
It's because many ability users were born near Sejong Island.
However, Jeju Island showed a lower birth rate of ability users than Seoul in such statistics.
Some said:
-It's because the Tangerine Country isn't actually Korea, but foreign, that the birth rate is lower.
-No, isn't it more like they're telling us to enjoy ourselves freely without worrying about pregnancy here?
-...Genius?
But once someone changed their thinking and shifted the paradigm, Jeju Island turned into a free and open island.
"If you want to have children, go to Ulleungdo or Gangwon-do. Why go to Jeju Island?"
Baek Seol-hee nodded heavily.
"So, Jeju Island isn't a place to go to have children."
If Ulleungdo was a place where two went and three came out,
Jeju Island was a place where one met one, and two came out.
To put it nicely, it's not a place for patriotism, but a place to meet people to become a patriot.
Jeju Island was.
