Chapter 103 – GOY 103

#103

It ​looked ​appetizing, ​and ​it ​likely ​tasted good too, ​but ​I ​had ​absolutely ​no appetite.

Still, I placed ​the ​tray on my ​thighs and forced ​the ​food ​into ​my ​mouth.

In ​the original story, ​Joo ​Seung-hyuk ​imprisons Kim Joon ​on the first day ​of vacation ​and then ​gives him ​food. In ​response, ​Kim ​Joon glared at ​Joo Seung-hyuk ​and refused to eat.

Rather ​than coaxing him, Joo ​Seung-hyuk starved Kim Joon ​for over ​a ​week. He gave him just enough ​water to keep him ​from ​dying, ​but ​nothing ​else. Even when ​Kim Joon ​begged ​for food, he ​gave ​him nothing until Kim Joon ​knelt and ​pleaded, ​at which point ​he ​barely ​threw ​him ​a single ​piece ​of bread.

He ​didn’t just starve him; he kept him ​shoved in a ​cozy trash can ​for the entire week…

Joo ​Seung-hyuk was ​the kind of ​person ​who, once angered, ​would go into ​a Rampage ​without ​limit. Furthermore, ​while ​the Kim ​Joon ​of the ​original ​story ​had been dragged ​away ​forcibly without ​any ​fault ​of ​his own, I had been caught while trying to escape.

I didn’t want to get on Joo [stolen content]Seung-hyuk’s bad side. If I didn’t eat, he [stolen content]might starve me for over a week, just like in the original.

In truth, more than being hungry, I was terrified that Joo Seung-hyuk might stop visiting me altogether.

If I lost even those three times a day he came by, I wasn’t confident I could overcome the loneliness and fear.

Joo Seung-hyuk brought me food, but he didn’t show his face. He didn’t even try to let me hear his voice. Perhaps he had completely lost all affection for me because of what happened.

Joo Seung-hyuk was distancing himself from me. Yet, my mind was filled with thoughts of him.

Is he planning to avoid me like this forever?

Even if that were the case, it couldn’t be helped. I had done the worst thing possible. Knowing exactly how miserable it makes a person to be dropped from the peak of happiness into an abyss, I had done the same thing to Joo Seung-hyuk.

So, even if Joo Seung-hyuk hated me, it was only right. I was just worried. The image of him kneeling and crying as he begged me kept flickering before my eyes.

‘Is Joo Seung-hyuk okay? Was he hurt by this?’

Lee Yeon-soo, you idiot. Who are you worrying about when you’re the one imprisoned…

After finishing my meal, I placed the tray back in front of the door. The chains rattled with every step, but I had grown used to it by now.

There were only four things I could do in this room.

‘Think about Joo Seung-hyuk, eat, shower, sleep.’

I had thought about Joo Seung-hyuk and I had eaten, so now it was time to shower.

Perhaps because my heart felt stifled, I wanted to clear my head with cold water.

After entering the bathroom, I turned on the cold water in the shower.

The restraints were imbued with magic, so they weren’t as heavy as they looked. Moreover, the chain connecting the handcuffs and shackles was long, so it didn’t hinder my movement much.

Still, the mere fact that I was wearing restraints had been bothersome, but now I didn’t feel anything at all while showering in them.

What is wrong with me, adapting to something like this…

By the way, how long will I be here? Will I be able to leave once Joo Seung-hyuk completely forgets me? Can I even get out? When will I be able to see his face again?

I even started thinking that it would be better to roll around in a cozy trash can like in the original story.

Despite the cold shower, my mind remained chaotic.

Sighing, I stepped out and felt a chill. I quickly burrowed under the blankets.

“It’s cold.”

Perhaps because I had no clothes, the air conditioner filling the room felt even colder.

‘Huh? What is this?’

At that moment, a whirring sound came from the air conditioner on the ceiling, and warm air began to blow instead of cold.

‘Did he actually hear me say I was cold? Is he watching me?’

The Joo Seung-hyuk of the original story was a piece of trash before he was an obsessive yandere.

After forcibly imprisoning Kim Joon and shoving him into a wretched trash can, beating him and starving him, he went outside and enjoyed his daily life.

He ran his business, conquered gates, or slept with others. He even went abroad…

While obsessed with Kim Joon, Joo Seung-hyuk was indifferent to his pain, and through that strange indifference, he eventually broke Kim Joon.

That’s why I hadn’t considered that he might have installed cameras in the basement.

He makes sure to turn his body away every time he brings food because he can’t stand the sight of me; there was no way he’d install CCTV to watch me.

I looked up at the ceiling, but because the lighting was so dim, I couldn’t see anything clearly.

Besides, I couldn’t be certain there was a camera. It might have just been a coincidence…

“I want to read a book,” I murmured timidly. Then I looked toward the door.

Maybe Joo Seung-hyuk heard me and would bring me a book?

But nothing happened. The warm air must have just been a coincidence.

Right, there’s no way.

With a deep sigh, I fell asleep.

The next day, when I opened my eyes, ten books were lying next to the bed.

‘He really was watching me.’

I looked up at the ceiling. It was a situation that could have been frightening, but instead, I felt at ease. It meant he hadn’t completely abandoned me.

I got off the bed and examined the books. They were books I had been reading or by authors I liked.

Since he always just clung to [unauthorized copy]me without saying much whenever I visit our siteread, I unauthorized copythought he had no interest in it. But he remembered everything…

I flipped through the pages one by one. Even though they were books I loved, my mind was so full of thoughts of Joo Seung-hyuk that the words wouldn’t sink in.

As I stood lost in thought about him while holding a book, I felt strength beginning to surge through my body.

My gaze was fixed on the book, and I couldn’t even move my limbs or turn my head.

And today, as usual, the sound of footsteps echoed and the door opened, followed by the sound of a tray being set down.

The moment the door closed and the force acting on the shackles vanished, I rushed to the door.

“Seung-hyuk-ah! Seung-hyuk-ah!”

For the past few days, thinking he hated me, I hadn’t even dared to breathe even when I knew he was bringing food. But today, my body leaped forward instinctively.

“Seung-hyuk-ah!”

I pounded on the door, calling his name over and unauthorized copyover. But [unauthorized copy]the footsteps that had [Read on Read BL Novels]drifted away did not return.

He brought the books, but I guess that was the limit. Sighing, I looked at the tray he had left behind.

‘Today it’s oxtail soup…’

Did he prepare this for my health because I said I was cold yesterday…?

He bought me a new release by an author I like, which I had been reading before vacation, and gave me oxtail soup. Come to think of it, even though he took everything away, the ring remained.

And yet, he won’t show his face.

What does Joo Seung-hyuk think of me? What does he want to do with me? Would someone give oxtail soup to a person they’ve lost all affection for?

I knew that Joo Seung-hyuk had been obsessed with me for seven years. But I don’t know what he’s thinking now.

And I don’t know my own heart either. What do I want to do when I meet Joo Seung-hyuk…

Whether I want to apologize, escape from here, or if I’m just longing for [unauthorized copy]another’s touch because stolen contentI’m afraid [visit our site]of being alone—no matter how much I think about it, I can’t tell.

“Seung-hyuk-ah, thank you,” I murmured softly and ate the oxtail soup. As the warmth spread, my body felt cozy.

After finishing the meal and showering, I climbed back onto the bed. Still, I had one more thing to do today.

I picked up one of the stacked books. The feel of opening a brand new book was wonderful.

I read a lot, but since I mostly used the library’s books, I had relatively few opportunities to read new books.

I wanted to earn money and buy plenty of books I liked to decorate a study.

It’s been a while since I’ve read like this…

“Ugh…”

After sitting on the bed and reading for a long time, my neck felt a bit stiff. I rotated my neck, massaged my shoulders with my hands, and then focused on reading again.

Or rather, I tried to focus. I tried to do something else instead of thinking about Joo Seung-hyuk.

But every time I turned a page, everything reminded me of Joo Seung-hyuk.

Esper, gate, pheromone, cell phone, restaurant, clothes, movie… even common words were all connected to Joo Seung-hyuk.

I have no idea why I’m like this…

The next day, I was utterly surprised.

A desk and a bookshelf had been placed next to the bed. The books were organized on the shelves, and a reading lamp and a bookstand were provided.

‘Did the room change?’

But looking around, there were still no windows. The air conditioner on the ceiling was still there.

He must have brought them in while I was sleeping. Did he prepare this because he saw me struggling with my posture while reading yesterday?

‘What is this, Joo Seung-hyuk? Are you sure you’ve lost affection for unauthorized copyme? Are [stolen content]you sure you can’t stand the sight of me?’

I tried sitting in the desk chair.

The chair, which I was sitting in for the first time in a week, was incredibly comfortable. The leather was soft, and the backrest supported my waist perfectly.

While staring at the books neatly lined up on the shelf, I leaned forward and rested my head on the desk. The slightly cool, smooth touch of the desk felt good. A faint smile formed on my lips. My heart swelled with an expectation that went beyond the new furniture.

Maybe I can meet Joo Seung-hyuk today. Maybe he’ll come to me.

But hope was soon shattered. When it became mealtime, force was once again applied to the shackles, restraining my body.

In the end, he left today as well, leaving only the food. He did not see me.

Looking at the lonely tray, a sense of emptiness washed over me. The tray was full of appetizing food again today, but I had no desire to eat.

‘Is he planning to never see me again…?’

But I couldn’t give up like this.

“I want to read comic books too,” I said in a clear voice.

If Joo Seung-hyuk is listening to me, he will enter my room again tonight.
