KTS 76

Hoo.

After finishing the shower, a deep sigh came out involuntarily. He couldn’t believe the party was really over. I didn’t make a single mistake. I really did it.

A small sense of confidence welled up along with pride. Of course, Winston’s help was absolute, but the fact that he had done it remained unchanged.

And he declared me a member of the Campbell family.

Perhaps that was why he felt much more respected throughout the party than last time. What was his intention? Could it be that his opinion of me has changed a little……?

That’s impossible.

Yu-jin quickly rebuked himself. He’s not a man who changes so easily. There must have been a reason. Of course, not for me…….

He felt bitter, but it was true that Yu-jin and Angela had been treated well thanks to him. Maybe he’s trying to reconcile with me? The thought that suddenly came to mind seemed more plausible. Besides, Winston was kind throughout the day and seemed like his old self again. Perhaps that was why Yu-jin couldn’t control the restless trembling in his heart.

Maybe, this time, he’ll listen to me? It’s been five years.

A faint hope rose in his heart. Yes, let’s try anyway. We haven’t had a proper conversation.

Maybe this time it will be different.

Feeling somehow impatient, he hurriedly dried himself, put on his pajamas, roughly dried his wet hair, and went outside.

Winston was, as always, sitting in a chair at the tea table, smoking a cigarette. He must be very tired from being tormented all day, but he didn’t show any signs of it. Perhaps it was thanks to his alpha genes. They say that they have far superior conditions, including physical strength, than ordinary people.

The fact that his body had been half-destroyed and still hadn’t fully recovered was, in a way, disconcerting. It was also proof that it had been a major disaster. Recalling the past, Yu-jin’s heart ached again.

He stared blankly out the window, unmoving. Yu-jin, watching him mechanically bring the cigarette to his mouth and exhale a long stream of smoke after a while, as if lost in deep thought, plucked up his courage and opened his mouth.

“Um.”

He quickly cleared his throat to clear his voice, and only then did Winston turn his gaze toward him. Yu-jin hesitated at the indifferent gaze and opened his mouth.

“……I’ve finished showering. You’re going to shower too, right?”

Winston didn’t answer. Yu-jin, embarrassed by the gaze that simply stared at his face, stammered.

“Um…… I mean, um, thank you for today. I think I did well thanks to you.”

The introduction seemed okay so far. The problem was how to continue the conversation.

“Um…… I.”

He opened his mouth, but he couldn’t continue. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, but Winston exhaled cigarette smoke. Hoo, the straight stream of cigarette smoke cut through the air and blurred it. Yu-jin became more and more awkward in the uncomfortable silence. Is today not the day? Should I bring it up next time?

But this kind of opportunity might not come again. It wasn’t easy to muster courage again either. Yu-jin made up his mind and opened his mouth. Just as he was about to speak, Winston spoke first by a hair’s breadth.

“There’s something I’m curious about.”

Yu-jin blinked in surprise.

“About me?”

“Yes.”

What is he suddenly talking about?

Feeling an ominous premonition for some reason, he tensed up without realizing it. Winston, who had taken another puff of smoke, exhaled a long stream of smoke. What on earth is he trying to say that he’s taking so long? Yu-jin, feeling impatient, clenched and unclenched his fists. Winston opened his mouth.

“Is it true that you have a criminal record?”

Yu-jin was so surprised that he stopped breathing. It wasn’t just his breathing that stopped. Everything about him stopped at once. As if he had frozen. Winston, looking at him, asked in a low, threatening voice.

“Tell me. Is it true that you have a record of theft and robbery?”

He still couldn’t say anything, and Winston added, as if spitting out the words through clenched teeth.

“Including prostitution.”

In that instant, everything went black before his eyes. The hope he had briefly held was shattered, and all the strength drained from Yu-jin’s body.

“……How did you find out?”

Winston’s expression turned icy at the barely mumbled words. A gaze full of contempt, cynicism, and disdain was directed at Yu-jin.

As if to say, I knew you’d be like that.

Yu-jin’s eyes welled up with tears.

“You’re not going to ask why I did it.”

Winston chuckled at the words he barely managed to utter with trembling breaths, and then sneered without fail.

“Isn’t there only one purpose for theft, robbery, and prostitution? Of course, it’s money.”

He even counted on his fingers one by one to draw a conclusion, and then shook his head.

“I didn’t know you’d fall so low as to do such things. Well, it’s not easy to hook a sucker with the kind of money you want.”

Winston brought the cigarette to his mouth again and ridiculed Yu-jin.

“There’s no way there’s another rich sucker like me and my father in the world.”

What was I expecting?

Yu-jin felt pathetic and couldn’t stand there any longer. He was about to rush out the door, but Winston caught him by a hair’s breadth.

“Where are you going? Are you going to sell your body to someone else again?”

“What’s wrong with that? I’m just doing the same thing I always do.”

Winston, however, sighed as if he were pathetic at Yu-jin, who glared at him with fierce eyes.

“Stop going to the child’s room to sleep whenever there’s a problem.”

Ha, Yu-jin let out an absurd exclamation.

“So? You want us to fight to the death?”

He was serious. If he had a knife in his hand, he would have stabbed him. How could he say such a thing knowing that he was going to Angela’s room? Yu-jin realized anew how much he hated this man. Winston, looking down at such Yu-jin, burst into laughter.

“Honey, we’re people. We need to talk.”

He felt like he had become a fool who had been thoroughly ridiculed. How long is this man going to be so relaxed?

“We’re going to talk? Is that even possible?”

Winston replied nonchalantly to Yu-jin’s rough voice.

“We have to try.”

Soon after, Winston suddenly picked Yu-jin up on his shoulder and walked to the bed. Yu-jin, surprised, struggled and pounded on his back, but it was no use. Winston came on top of Yu-jin, who had been thrown onto the bed.

“I’m going to kill you, Winston Campbell.”

Winston, however, smiled sweetly and whispered, uttering all his hatred.

“You have to give birth to my child before that, honey.”

Their lips met, but Yu-jin bit his tongue mercilessly. The smell of blood spread in his mouth. He could feel Winston smiling.

“Honey, it’s going to be hard to fall asleep tonight.”

Winston, speaking in an outrageously affectionate voice, suddenly turned Yu-jin over. His thick body overlapped Yu-jin’s body, which had helplessly fallen face down.

“The sooner we have a child, the better, right?”

The breath reaching his ear was already rough. His underwear and pajamas were removed at once. His hot, swollen manhood touched his exposed buttocks.

Today, he might be trying to impregnate Yu-jin. Yu-jin turned his head and glared at him with all his might.

“Of course. That’s what I want too.”

I can’t have children anyway.Winston chuckled and bit Yu-jin’s neck, setting his teeth. Soon after, he forced open the narrow opening and his penis pushed in. Yu-jin contorted his face and accepted Winston. The day he escaped this mansion, he would write in a letter. That he couldn’t have children, and Winston had done all that for nothing.

He would laugh at him, loudly.

Yu-jin forcefully held back his resentful tears, repeating his vow.

It was ten minutes before lunchtime when Mrs. Campbell came to the office. Wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a suit from her favorite brand, she was led into the office by the secretary.

“You seem very busy.”

Winston, who had been reviewing documents, looked up as she readily sat on the sofa and said.

“I heard you didn’t have any lunch appointments today, so I stopped by to have a meal with you.”

“I am busy.”

Winston continued in a dry voice.

“I have a lot of things to take care of. I have a meeting in the afternoon, so I need to check everything before then.”

Mrs. Campbell’s expression was not very pleased, but Winston ignored her and turned his gaze back to the documents. The reason his mother had come to the company as soon as the weekend was over was obvious. Since she wouldn’t be able to hold back and would bring it up first anyway, there was no need for Winston to rush her. He just had to endure the annoyance.

“How did the party end?”

Winston answered indifferently to her feigned casualness.

“It ended well.”

“Oh? It seems that was fortunate.”

She was sarcastic as ever, but Winston didn’t react. Mrs. Campbell, who had been silently looking at her son’s face, frowned. No matter how she looked at him, Winston seemed no different than usual. She had heard a similar answer when she called Cain before coming to the company. In the end, she revealed her true intentions first.

“You must have heard from Gordon, right? What are you going to do about it?”
