Chapter 107 – GOY 107

#107

Had ​he ​not ​been ​staying ​in ​the annex of ​the ​Seong ​Han ​Group’s ​main residence?

Nothing like that ​was ​mentioned in The ​Swamp of the ​Guide… ​Then ​again, ​aside ​from ​the secret of ​his ​birth, ​the original novel ​didn’t go into great ​detail about ​Joo Seung-hyuk’s ​personal history.

“I ​see. This ​place ​is ​amazing.”

It had an ​antique elegance ​that almost made me ​mistake it for a ​fantasy world for a ​moment.

I thought ​he ​had spent his childhood being persecuted, ​so this was a ​relief.

“You’ll ​be ​staying ​in ​this room from ​today. I’ll ​bring ​you everything you ​need.”

Those ​words meant that he intended ​to keep ​me ​confined. Joo Seung-hyuk ​had ​not ​forgiven ​me ​yet. When ​I ​used the ​airplane as an excuse for why I ​ran away, he ​simply gave me ​a ride once.

Come to ​think of ​it, my clothes ​had ​been removed again. ​The handcuffs and ​shackles were ​gone, ​but other ​than ​that, nothing ​had ​changed.

As I ​looked ​at ​my stolen content[stolen content]hand, which ​wore ​only a ​ring ​without ​any ​restraints, visit our sitemy eyes began to flutter shut.

“The medication must still be in your system. It must have been exhausting to take the plane; get some more sleep.”

Joo Seung-hyuk laid me on the bed and covered me with a blanket. Just as he said, sleep washed over me. However, as I watched the back of Joo Seung-hyuk turning away, a sense of anxiety rose within me.

I suddenly grabbed his hand.

“What is it? Do you want to go out?”

His eyes flashed fiercely. I hurriedly shook my head.

“N-no, it’s not that… aren’t you… getting married…?”

Ju Jeong-han’s words were likely a lie. However, given the plot of the original work and the fact that I hadn’t heard it directly from Joo Seung-hyuk, I felt uneasy.

Of course, it was probably not the case, but there was a possibility that he might separate marriage from obsession, just as he did in The Swamp of the Guide.

“I am.”

“What…?”

My heart sank for a moment.

Joo Seung-hyuk looked down at me and tucked a stray lock of hair behind my ear.

“I have to marry Lee Yeon-soo.”

“Then what about the only daughter of the Lexington Pharmaceutical Company?”

“Who is she?”

“But Lexington is one of the top three companies in the world regarding pharmaceuticals for ability users.”

“And? Hyung, do I look like some pathetic human who marries based on conditions?”

If it were the Joo Seung-hyuk from the original story, it would have been natural for him to marry based on conditions, and he would have denounced anyone talking about love or romance as stupid.

“Hyung, I’ve told you repeatedly, I’m a believer in premarital chastity. Since you took everything from me, you have to take responsibility.”

Especially if someone talked about chastity instead of love or romance, he would have told them to go to a psychiatric hospital immediately.

But the Joo Seung-hyuk standing before me now was saying the exact opposite of the original.

“Then you’re really not marrying Lexington?”

“I’m not.”

“Really? You won’t do any other arranged marriages either?”

Had this part changed completely from the original as well?

As I confirmed repeatedly, Joo Seung-hyuk let out a low laugh.

“Lee Yeon-soo, you’re mean.”

“Huh?”

“Because you keep doing this, it makes it seem like you ran away because you actually thought I was going to get married.”

“I…”

I tried to make an excuse, but Joo Seung-hyuk’s lips overlapped mine. He entwined himself with me so relentlessly that I felt short of breath.

Every time his body heat mixed with mine inside my mouth, a hazy fever surged through me.

He lightly bit my lip and whispered in a low voice.

“Should I tie you up, XX and XX you?”

He recited the exact words I had said while drunk.

“No.”

“You want it.”

“I don’t want anything other than you touching my body.”

“You really are mean.”

Joo Seung-hyuk smiled and kissed me again. His hand delved into my body. For some reason, his passionate touch felt welcome.

We were together every single day.

Joo Seung-hyuk wanted me, and I did not reject his touch.

There was no time to read books or do anything else.

Eating and doing it, eating and doing it. We stolen contentwere together for [Read on Read BL Novels]so long that if this were a novel, a whole volume would have been [stolen content]filled with nothing but sex scenes.

However, despite sharing body heat every day, the confinement continued.

Joo Seung-hyuk still did not trust me.

After we finished, Joo Seung-hyuk held me and entered the bathtub.

The walls were made of marble, and the decorations of the tub and sink were all in an antique style, giving the place a very luxurious atmosphere.

Where on earth was this? Five days had passed since I arrived, but I knew nothing other than that it was Joo Seung-hyuk’s villa.

Was it Europe? Or America? I had been asleep for quite a long time on the plane. Therefore, I couldn’t tell where this was based on flight time alone.

While I was lost in thought, Joo Seung-hyuk’s face approached. When I flinched in surprise, his gaze cooled instantly. He wasn’t angry simply because I rejected a kiss. He was doubting whether I would try to run away again.

Even though we mixed our bodies every day, his suspicion did not vanish.

“Sorry, I was thinking.”

“About what?”

“I was just wondering what the date is today.”

The room I was confined in was spacious and beautiful. It had all the necessary furniture for living, such as a bed, desk, sofa, and table. However, there was no clock or calendar. Since there was no TV or phone, there was no way to know today’s date.

“Why?”

“It’s almost my father’s birthday.”

“Don’t worry. I contacted him and sent a gift.”

Are you the son-in-law of my house? Joo Seung-hyuk was one thing for contacting them instead of me, but would my parents actually believe that?

They probably did… After Aaron’s incident, my family trusted Joo Seung-hyuk 100%.

“…I see.”

I quietly shut my mouth. Then, Joo Seung-hyuk’s face drew near again. This time, I didn’t avoid him and accepted his kiss.

After the bath, Joo Seung-hyuk dried my body and hair. Since coming here, it felt like there was almost nothing I had to do with my own hands.

I felt good as his fingers combed through my hair.

When Joo Seung-hyuk first helped me shower, I [visit our site]didn’t know what to do because I was so unauthorized copyembarrassed and ashamed, but even [Read on Read BL Novels]this was gradually becoming familiar.

Leaving my body to his hands, I looked out the window. The curtains were closed, so I couldn’t see outside, but just staring in that direction made me feel a bit more at ease.

“Do you want to go out?”

Joo Seung-hyuk was a sharp person and quickly noticed my feelings.

Honestly, I was surprised, but I couldn’t let it show that I’d been caught.

I gave a thin smile and shook my head.

“No. It’s not that, the curtains are just pretty. The fabric is thick, so it looks warm.”

“Are you cold?”

“It’s a bit cold at night. I want to wear clothes…”

“I’ll give them to you after you give birth to four children.”

It’s not like I’m in a fairy tale…

Anyway, children from me, a Beta. It seemed Joo Seung-hyuk had no intention of giving me clothes.

“Seung-hyuk-ah, I haven’t had a Manifestation.”

“I know.”

“If you want an Omega…”

“I want Lee Yeon-soo.”

Joo Seung-hyuk’s black pupils stared at me. Seeing his steady eyes without a hint of wavering made me feel shy, and I ended up averting my gaze.

Joo Seung-hyuk grabbed my chin and kissed me. I had a feeling that tonight would be long as well.

The next day, when I woke up, Joo Seung-hyuk was nowhere to be seen.

Where did he go so early in the morning? No, I couldn’t even tell if it was morning.

Because I had spent my time mixing bodies and sleeping in a room with thick blackout curtains, then waking up to eat and mixing bodies again. Perhaps the sun was high in the sky, or perhaps it was already night.

As I tried to get out of bed, something felt different from usual. Checking closely, the snow-white blanket had become slightly thicker than yesterday.

He must have changed it to a thicker blanket because I said I was cold yesterday.

Wrapping myself in the blanket, I pulled back the window curtains.

Joo Seung-hyuk allowed this much freedom. Of course, they had to be completely closed during our intimacy.

Sunlight, which had been blocked by the blackout curtains, poured into the room.

The sight of the blue sea came into view at a glance through the window. It was a beautiful scenery no matter when I saw it.

I couldn’t be certain, but this room seemed to be at least on the third floor. It’s been five days since I came here, and I still don’t even know which floor I’m on… Thinking about it, it was ridiculous.

If it were the original Kim Joon, he would have struggled desperately to escape this place.

He probably would have smashed the window to jump out. He might have torn the curtains to make a rope, or jumped down even if it meant breaking his legs. He might have swum through that vast ocean to escape from Joo Seung-hyuk.

But I didn’t do that. Far from jumping out the window, I hadn’t even attempted to open the door and leave.

Was there even a need to do that?

This room was very spacious. The Esper Academy dormitory room was plenty for one person, but this was easily more than four times that size. Moreover, just by opening the curtains, the sea was visible at a glance, so I didn’t feel particularly suffocated even while staying in the room.

Above all, I wasn’t alone.

I saw Joo Seung-hyuk’s face and talked with him every day, and I could eat whatever I wanted. The bookshelf was filled with books I liked. Other than that, if there was anything I desired, Joo Seung-hyuk would grant it all.

So, wouldn’t it be okay like this? As long as I didn’t try to leave this room, it would continue to be peaceful…

Wait, what am I thinking right now?

Suddenly, goosebumps broke out all over my body.

In the original, Kim Joon, who became accustomed to Joo Seung-hyuk’s confinement, found his own kind of peace. In the final scene of The Swamp of the Guide, Kim Joon does not run away even when his shackles are removed and the main gate is open. Like a bird with broken wings, he had completely forgotten the will for freedom.

And right now, I had the same thought as Kim Joon in the final scene of the original…

The moment I realized that, I snapped awake.

‘Lee Yeon-soo, you’ve gone crazy. Thinking it’s okay like this—are you in your right mind?’
