Chapter 38 – GOY 38
#38
“Then you weren’t late?”
“No.”
“That’s a relief.”
Surprisingly, Joo Seung-hyuk didn’t pry. No, it wasn’t surprising.
He had never really cared whether I was with a Guide. Even when he saw me with Ji-hee noona, he hadn’t gotten angry.
Professor Choi was the same. Even when we were caught whispering, he merely brushed it off with complete indifference.
Only Kim Joon was the exception. He hated me, much like how Joo Seung-hyuk hated the villainous sub-uke, Lee Yeon-soo, in the original story.
Surely the main uke and sub uke haven’t completely swapped places, right? It would be fine if they were just like cats and dogs, but they can’t have completely switched roles…
I couldn’t yet let go of a sliver of hope. I still held onto the hope that once the second semester started, Joo Seung-hyuk and Kim Joon might fall in love again, just as in the original.
Of course, meeting Kim Joon made me feel bad that such a [stolen content]kind boy would end up with an obsessive madman, but wouldn’t it be true happiness Read on Read BL Novelsfor an S and an M to be together rather than with me??
“What are you thinking about? You’re not thinking about some other bastard in front of me, are you?”
The obsessive yandere was far too sharp. I hurriedly shook my head.
“No way. I—I was thinking about you!”
“About me?”
“Yeah. I heard you keep refusing the matching rate test?”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“Do I have to?”
Joo Seung-hyuk asked back brazenly. Everyone was in an uproar because of him, yet he didn’t seem to care in the slightest.
“You haven’t had a matching rate test with any other Guide since you were with me. Maybe the Guiding Rejection Reaction has ended. You might have already recovered, and your matching rate with other Guides might be high now.”
Perhaps I had taken the matching rate test right as Joo Seung-hyuk’s Guiding Rejection Reaction was ending.
If that were the case, it wasn’t just that mine was visit our sitehigh, but there was a possibility that his matching rates [Read on Read BL Novels]with other Guides had also recovered.
“And?”
“What do you mean ‘and’? If the Guiding Rejection Reaction is over, then naturally the person in charge should…”
“I have my Guide. What does it matter if I have a rejection reaction to some other bastard or not?”
“What?”
Why am I your Guide? I looked up at him in absurdity. However, I couldn’t say a word before Joo Seung-hyuk’s piercing gaze.
“Don’t tell me you want to receive Guiding from some other bastard?”
“N-no, it’s not that. I’m just worried about you. It’s better to receive Guiding from several people. The Guiding Rejection Reaction needs to disappear quickly…”
“Don’t worry. I have no intention of receiving Guiding from anyone other than Lee Yeon-soo.”
He gave a small smirk and kissed my lips. I jumped in surprise and looked around.
“Why are you so surprised?”
“The other students are watching.”
This was the dormitory lobby, so there were many people. Some were indeed staring at us.
“So what if they stare? We’re getting married anyway.”
“What?”
“Why are you so surprised? We already agreed to do it.”
He hadn’t forgotten. I had been slightly relieved since he hadn’t mentioned it much after the press conference…
“Oh, the elevator is here.”
Instead of answering, I quickly stepped into the elevator. Joo Seung-hyuk followed without a word.
“Thanks for carrying my bag today.”
As soon as we arrived at the room, I tried to send him back. However, Joo Seung-hyuk walked inside as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Fine, if you want to come in, come in. I didn’t have the courage to kick out the obsessive yandere who had invaded my room.
“Do you want something to drink?”
“Hyung, you’re not planning to brush me off after taking my virginity, are you?”
Joo Seung-hyuk’s voice sank gloomily. My attempt to change the subject had failed.
“W-well.”
“Hyung, you’re going back to your parents’ house this weekend, right?”
“Yeah.”
My family had been very worried about my hospitalization. My mother, in particular, was so shocked that she even suggested I take a temporary leave of absence or quit being a Guide.
Even after my discharge, she wanted me to rest at home for a while, but I had returned to the dormitory because I couldn’t miss any more lectures.
Since she continued to worry, I planned to show my face at home this weekend. I had already informed Joo Seung-hyuk.
“I’ll go with you. I’ll greet your parents and we’ll set a date. How about that?”
What do you mean ‘how about that’? Getting permission for marriage is shocking enough, and now he wants to set a date?
“Ah, that’s a bit…”
I was living as a ‘yes-man’ because I was afraid of the obsessive yandere, but I couldn’t say okay to this.
As I trailed off, Joo Seung-hyuk’s eyes grew fierce.
“Why? If you’re thinking of trampling on my visit our sitevirginity, I can’t forgive you, no [Read on Read BL Novels]matter if it’s Lee Yeon-soo.”
Joo Seung-hyuk, I literally saved your life, how can you do this? Is it okay to threaten your savior! Can’t you forgive me just a little? It’s not like you were actually a virgin anyway!
I knew it was a lie, but since there was no way to prove it, it was maddening.
Furthermore, although I didn’t do it expecting any reward, isn’t it a bit too much that there’s absolutely no change in his attitude despite me saving his life?
But one cannot expect common sense from an obsessive yandere. I hid my inner thoughts and forced a smile.
“It’s not that, but I’m still a student. I’ve only just recovered, so my parents will be shocked if I say I’m getting married already.”
“Then shall we start with an engagement?”
Joo Seung-hyuk, are you really planning to set a date?
“N-no. Still, they worked so hard to raise me, so just disappearing like that…”
“What do you mean ‘disappearing’?”
“I should graduate, earn a living, and show some filial piety to my parents before getting married…”
“I’ll give you the money.”
There’s no way I can use money [stolen content]you stolen contentgive me! Who knows what will happen later if I use an obsessive yandere’s money!
Currently, I was keeping the money and cards Joo Seung-hyuk had given me tucked away safely and living off my savings.
“No, no, it’s not that… Still, to get married, I should save some of my own money. That way I can buy a house…”
“Do you think I’d ask you to buy a house? Just bring yourself.”
Joo Seung-hyuk smirked, perfectly blocking my excuses. Why is this guy so unnecessarily rich…
“Problem solved, right? What time should we leave on Saturday?”
Is he really coming to my house? Absolutely not. I cannot introduce an obsessive yandere to my parents.
“U-um, Joo Seung-hyuk!”
I summoned my courage and shouted to prevent the situation from spiraling into the worst-case scenario.
“Yes, go ahead.”
“You’re my first, too!”
“Of course you should be.”
My shoulders flinched at the strangely chilly tone. But I couldn’t stop here.
I clenched my fists and solemnly spat out the words I had been holding back.
“You say I took your virginity, but you took mine too. So, we are in an equal position.”
“I’ll take responsibility.”
Joo Seung-hyuk answered so coolly that my solemnity became embarrassing.
“What?”
“I said I’ll take responsibility for you, Hyung.”
No. Don’t do that. You don’t have to take responsibility…
“Why…?”
Why are you taking responsibility for me!
Unknowingly, a tearful voice escaped. I really wanted to cry.
“If you took someone’s virginity, you naturally have to take responsibility. I’m actually quite conservative.”
Is conservatism dead? A ‘virtuous conservative obsessive madman,’ Woong-i at home would laugh.
“S-still, maybe a bit later…”
“When is ‘a bit later’?”
“Seung-hyuk-ah, why are you in such a hurry? You’re only 20. If you get married this early and meet someone you like more later, what will you do?”
The plan to escape responsibility by asserting mutual virginity failed miserably. Since it had come to this, I decided to persuade the obsessive yandere logically. However, Joo Seung-hyuk didn’t budge.
“That won’t happen. I only have Lee Yeon-soo.”
“Still, you never know the future. You might meet someone better than me…”
“What kind of person is better than you, Hyung?”
“Uh… someone more handsome, taller, with a better body…”
“You’re my ideal type, Hyung.”
That can’t be true! You like a neat appearance and a tall, sturdy build like Kim Joon! You said Lee Yeon-soo was a flower without scent! That he was terrible!
But even if I recalled the original story, he was denying it now, so there was nothing else to say.
“Someone more capable than me.”
“Where is there anyone as capable as you, Hyung?”
“Rank isn’t everything.”
“Our matching rate is 93%.”
That was it. Unlike the original, this time I was the one who recorded an incredible matching rate, not Kim Joon.
“Someone with a lot of money might appear.”
“Hyung, do you think I need money?”
“No… but if it’s a partner who is beneficial for business…”
“I don’t need that crap. I can grow the company with my own abilities.”
“……”
Joo Seung-hyuk shot down all my arguments. I had nothing left to say.
“As I thought, there’s only Lee Yeon-soo. I’d regret it for the rest of my life if I couldn’t keep you. Besides, my body doesn’t react to anyone but you, Hyung.”
Joo Seung-hyuk took my hand and brought it to his chest. I could feel his heart beating rapidly.
“I can only breathe when you’re here. You made me this way. You have to take responsibility.”
“……”
I couldn’t say anything before his desperate gaze. When I remained silent, Joo Seung-hyuk’s expression quickly turned cold.
“Or is saying you’re doing it for my sake just an excuse, and Lee Yeon-soo wants to meet some other bastard? Do you not have the confidence to spend your whole life looking only at me?”
“……”
No. It’s not that I don’t have the confidence to look at Joo Seung-hyuk for the rest of my life, it’s that I feel I could live happily looking at anyone as long as it’s not you.
However, hiding my inner thoughts, I shook my head.
“No. Where else would I meet someone like you…”
“What part of me do you like?”
“Huh?”
“What’s good about me? What does Lee Yeon-soo like about me?”
Joo Seung-hyuk’s face drew close. Looking into those pitch-black eyes filled with coldness, I [unauthorized copy]unconsciously opened my mouth.
“You’re handsome.”
The moment the words left my mouth, I realized my mistake. This was something I should never have said.
“Do you like my face, Hyung?”
“Yeah.”
But since it was awkward to deny it after he asked, I gave a small nod.
“That’s a relief. I think this is the first time I’ll actually like my own face.”
“……”
Joo Seung-hyuk hated his face, which looked exactly like his mother’s. As he grew and began to resemble his father, he hated it even more.
This was why he reacted particularly sensitively to talk about his appearance.
I would have preferred it if he had gotten angry immediately upon hearing he was handsome, but seeing his unusually sorrowful expression made me remember his past and my heart grew heavy.
Impulsively, I kissed his cheek.
“W-what is this?”
He was startled and touched his cheek. This was the first time I’d seen Joo Seung-hyuk so flustered.
“Because you’re handsome.”
It was an impulsive action, but I didn’t regret it.
“You said you were embarrassed.”
“I am embarrassed right now. But you’re just too handsome.”
Joo Seung-hyuk burst into laughter.
“If we’re going to do it, we should do it properly. Did you forget what I taught you yesterday?”
