Chapter 89 – GOY 89

#89

“I-I’m ​serious. ​Nothing ​happened! ​I ​only ​washed my hands ​because ​I ​was ​moving ​some luggage. Park Geon-woo ​and ​I aren’t in ​that kind of ​relationship; ​we ​just ​greeted ​each ​other since it ​had ​been ​a while. There’s ​no way we’d do ​something like ​that.”

“Lee Yeon-soo ​sleeps just ​fine even ​without ​love,” ​Joo Seung-hyuk said ​in a ​chilling voice. The moment ​I heard those words, ​my mind went blank.

However, ​before I ​had ​time to process the meaning behind ​his words, I instinctively ​shook ​my ​head.

“That’s ​not ​true.”

“What’s not true? ​Then did ​you ​sleep with me ​because ​you love me?”

“…….”

Did he know ​that I ​didn’t ​love him…?

I looked ​at ​Joo ​Seung-hyuk ​in ​shock.

‘I shouldn’t ​be ​surprised. I ​should have just said I loved him.’

By ​the time that ​thought occurred to ​me, it was already ​too late.

Joo ​Seung-hyuk stripped off ​my ​clothes. Under his ​rough touch, the ​buttons of ​my ​white shirt ​popped ​off and ​scattered ​across the ​marble ​floor.

I ​hurriedly grabbed his ​hand.

“I-I ​really didn’t ​do ​anything ​with ​that Seonbae. I was going to contact you, I really intended to tell you everything, I was about to leave, but then I saw a photo of you in the album.”

“A photo of me…?”

“Yeah. The photo from when we went to the Blue House for Youth Day. When you were thirteen. I was just about to leave after looking at it….”

“Why were you looking at that?”

“B-b-because you were cute.”

“…….”

The mana that had been flickering coldly since we were in the dorms suddenly calmed down.

Maybe this would soothe Joo Seung-hyuk’s mood. I hurried to explain the situation.

“You were wearing a red tie. You looked so cute, like Conan…!”

“Conan? Who the hell is that!”

“…….”

Damn, come to think of it, Conan doesn’t exist here.

While some things overlapped with my previous life’s world, many others were completely different. And that manga about the boy detective who had been a child for decades did not exist in this world….

When I failed to answer, Joo Seung-hyuk’s mana, which had been quiet for a moment, began to rage violently again.

“Not Conan, I mean K-Koni, that famous manga. The fire-breathing baby dragon. I really loved that manga.”

I hurriedly made up a name from another manga with a similar sound. Since Koni also had fire attributes, there was a commonality with Joo Seung-hyuk.

However, as if this wasn’t convincing enough, the waves of mana remained chilly.

“There were Koni chicken nuggets, too. I loved them so much that I used to ask for those instead of kimbap when we went on picnics…. Seung-hyuk-ah, don’t you know them…?”

“…….”

They were snacks that had captivated elementary students nationwide back then, but Joo Seung-hyuk seemed to have no idea.

Even if he had been hated enough to live in the annex, he was still from a chaebol family. He might not have eaten processed foods like chicken nuggets.

Not knowing what to do, I just read his expression, and Joo Seung-hyuk spat out in a cold voice:

“Liar.”

“N-no. Really, the dragon-shaped chicken nuggets were popular….”

“Lee Yeon-soo, you hated me.”

“…….”

“You ran away whenever you saw me because you hated me. You avoided me as if I were a bug.”

Joo Seung-hyuk glared at me. This was hatred.

Feelings of hatred toward me were pouring out of him.

“No, I never….”

“No? After calling me your Guide, you went scurrying off to Park Geon-woo.”

Joo Seung-hyuk gripped my wrist. His grip was so strong that my fingertips turned cold, and a scream escaped me involuntarily.

“Ah! Seung-hyuk-ah, it hurts.”

But despite my plea of pain, he didn’t budge.

“Why? Does your heart flutter now that Park Geon-woo has reappeared? You barely endured me even though you hated me, but I guess you’ve decided to make it obvious now. Is it because of that bastard?”

“No. It’s not like that….”

“What’s not like that? He’s the Hyung you were so worried about that you couldn’t sleep all night, right?”

“How do you know that…?”

I asked back in surprise.

That was the letter I had written to Park Geon-woo.

Since it seemed the first letter didn’t arrive, I picked up my pen again.

How have you been lately, Hyung? I heard you went to Africa and was so worried that I couldn’t sleep all night. Is your arm okay?

I had written such a letter…. And Joo Seung-hyuk knew about it.

How on earth…? Let alone the contents of the letter, hardly anyone would know that I had even written a second one.

“Why? Are you angry that your poignant first love was discovered?”

“No. It’s not that. With Geon-woo Hyung… mmp!”

I tried to explain urgently, but my mouth was blocked. Joo Seung-hyuk had covered my mouth with his large hand, as if he hated the sound of my voice.

My eyes widened in surprise, and then my neck was bitten deeply. A groan of pain escaped, but it was stifled by Joo Seung-hyuk’s hand.

---

“Ugh, ugh….”

The moment I woke up, a groan escaped my lips.

‘It hurts. It hurts so much.’

Every joint in my body was screaming, but my jaw hurt the most.

After barely pulling myself up, I touched my jaw.

Last night, Joo Seung-hyuk had covered my mouth as if he didn’t want to hear my words. The hand that had blocked my mouth during the act eventually fell away, but after that, I was too afraid to speak.

I had clenched my jaw and tried not to make a sound. Doing that all night had left my jaw stiff.

There was another problem. My wrists were mottled with bruises. Other places were the same. Everything about last night was violent. It didn’t feel like we were having sex; it felt like I was being devoured.

I had had many encounters with Joo Seung-hyuk over the past few months, but this was the first time he had been so coercive.

“At least there are no handcuffs….”

That was a relief. I thought for sure I would be handcuffed and imprisoned last night.

“Is that your preference?”

Joo Seung-hyuk, who was entering through the door, spoke in a low voice.

“N-no!”

“I can put handcuffs on you if you want. No, if something like yesterday happens again, I’ll have to put them on even if you don’t want them.”

Joo Seung-hyuk’s voice was low. However, contrary to the menacing words, his anger seemed to have subsided significantly.

“I’m sorry. It won’t happen again. I promise! I won’t do it again.”

“Of course you shouldn’t.”

“Yeah….”

“From now on, report everything to me regardless of what happens. Who you talked to, what you said, which bastard is hitting on you—every single second. Don’t tell me after you meet them; get my permission before you do.”

It seems the Obsessive Madman’s obsession level broke the limit because of yesterday’s events.

If I refused here, I’d probably face unauthorized copyat least a ‘petit-imprisonment.’ To avoid [visit our site]provoking the obsessive yandere, I obediently nodded.

“Okay. I will.”

“And from now on, live at my house.”

“T-that’s a bit….”

No matter how scary the Madman was, I couldn’t allow this.

The moment I live in the Madman’s house, ‘imprisonment life’ begins. What have I been working for until now!

Moreover, living at the Madman’s house right before the break was truly dangerous. Even if I were imprisoned, no one would notice.

“Why? Do you want to be with that bastard Park Geon-woo?”

Joo Seung-hyuk’s mana was starting to bloom coldly again. I hurriedly spoke before his Madman mode fully activated.

“It’s not that, but final exams are coming up soon.”

“And?”

“The dorms are more convenient for studying. And it’s not just that Seonbae in the dorms; many people live there.”

I vowed never to even utter the sub seme’s name in front of Joo Seung-hyuk again.

“That’s why I originally hated it. There have been more than a few times I’ve held back the urge to drag you here by force.”

“…….”

To think Joo Seung-hyuk had those thoughts…. As expected, one can never be at ease with a Madman.

“Instead, I’ll report everything well. It won’t happen again. I was really wrong!”

“…….”

Despite my pleading, Joo Seung-hyuk’s expression showed no sign of softening.

“And I know you hate hearing this, but I feel I must say one thing.”

“What is it?”

“That Seonbae isn’t my first love. I’ve never had a first love until now.”

At the time, I was simply grateful and felt sorry toward Park Geon-woo for risking his life to fight for me. There were no other emotions.

However, even though I explained it sincerely, Joo Seung-hyuk’s expression actually hardened further.

Why? Does he not believe me?

‘Ah! Lee Yeon-soo, you idiot!’

Saying I’ve never had a first love meant that I’ve never loved Joo Seung-hyuk either. Realizing my mistake too late, I hurried to correct it.

“N-no, I mean, you are my first love!”

“…….”

This is the worst. Even I could tell it was a clumsy lie, and Joo Seung-hyuk’s eyes sank further.

I tried to make another excuse but then shut my mouth.

‘Is there any point to this?’

Joo Seung-hyuk already knew that I didn’t truly like him. When both parties know the truth, continuing the lie is just futile.

“I’m sorry.”

“Don’t say you’re sorry.”

“Huh…?”

“Tell me you love me.”

As if he wanted to continue this obvious play, Joo Seung-hyuk’s gaze was desperate. Faced with a desperate expression that didn’t suit an Obsessive Madman at all, I opened my mouth.

“…I love you.”

“Really?”

“Yes. I love you. Seung-hyuk-ah, I really only have you.”

I gave him the words he wanted to hear. Joo Seung-hyuk pulled me into an embrace.

My body fit perfectly into his arms. When we first met, I was bigger….

Joo Seung-hyuk had now become an adult. He had grown tall and muscular; he was no longer a thirteen-year-old child.

But perhaps because the touch of his arms around me was so desperate, I felt like I had become a wicked adult lying to a child.
