Chapter 39 – GOY 39
#39
“If you’re going to do it, you have to do it properly. Did you forget what I taught you yesterday?”
“…Well.”
“I taught you all night.”
“Yeah. That’s true, but I’m too tired today….”
I had now grasped the behavioral patterns of an obsessive yandere to some extent. The moment our lips met, the Indomitable Top’s switch would be flipped. It wouldn’t end with just a kiss.
“I’m really tired.”
As I muttered timidly, Joo Seung-hyuk chuckled.
“I won’t eat you up today.”
You said that before and then ate me up anyway.
Joo Seung-hyuk’s words couldn’t be trusted. Without erasing the look of suspicion from my eyes, I subtly stepped back.
“D-do you want some water?”
“Yes.”
I quickly took a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator and handed it to him.
“Did you change the brand of water?”
“Ah, yeah. I bought this specifically for you.”
My team leader, who had been my boss in my previous life, once said this:
‘An obsessive yandere doesn’t just drink any kind of water.’
Joo Seung-hyuk usually drank whatever water was available, but I kept feeling uneasy about an obsessive yandere drinking cheap mineral water. Then, upon hearing that a famous foreign brand of water had been officially imported to Korea, I bought it immediately.
That name was Evian!
This world differed from my previous [visit our site]life in many ways. Most company and product names were different. However, Evian existed.
This was clearly a sign that I should offer it to the obsessive yandere. This world wanted Joo Seung-hyuk to drink Evian.
“What about you, Hyung?”
“I have some left from before, so I’ll drink that first.”
I didn’t really care about the taste of water anyway; cheap was better.
“This one is exclusively for you.”
“Thank you.”
Joo Seung-hyuk took the Evian. However, he didn’t open it.
“Why? Do you not like it?”
Should I have bought a more expensive one? They said all obsessive madmen drink that….
“It’s the first bottle of water Hyung ever bought for me. I’m going to keep it.”
“The water?”
“Yes. I’ll keep it for the rest of my life.”
He gazed blankly at the Evian.
There was absolutely no reason to keep mineral water in a plastic bottle. But seeing Joo Seung-hyuk’s face shining with the same innocence as when he looked at candy, I couldn’t say anything.
“Hyung. I’ll wait a little bit.”
“Huh?”
“Have a safe trip to your parents’ house this weekend.”
Joo Seung-hyuk smiled faintly and hugged me tightly.
Joo Seung-hyuk said he would wait. I thought that meant he would wait until I was ready to get married.
But it seems I was mistaken.
“Yeon-soo, what is all this?”
“I don’t know either.”
I shook my head in bewilderment at my mother’s question.
A few minutes after I arrived at my parents’ house, a truck with a department store logo and a luxury van arrived in front of the house. Then, they began unloading a flurry of items.
“These are gifts sent by Mr. Joo Seung-hyuk.”
A department store employee in a black suit and white gloves answered my mother’s question for me.
“Joo Seung-hyuk? Isn’t that the Hyung that Hyung rescued this time?”
“Right! The super handsome Hyung!”
Min-soo and Kyung-soo, the twin younger brothers who were second-year middle schoolers this year, shouted.
Min-soo and Kyung-soo were fraternal twins. Min-soo had a round personality and face, while Kyung-soo had a sharp impression and a decisive side. Min-soo was the older brother by fifteen minutes, but Kyung-soo never called him Hyung. Since Min-soo didn’t particularly care about being called Hyung, they didn’t fight over titles.
For the record, it seemed my family had met Joo Seung-hyuk at the hospital when I was admitted.
“But why is that Hyung giving gifts? It’s not even Yeon-soo Hyung’s birthday.”
Min-soo asked an innocent question.
“Uh, well….”
Wedding gifts, engagement presents, dowry….
Numerous words came to mind, but I couldn’t say any of them.
While I hesitated to answer, Kyung-soo replied confidently.
“You idiot! Our Hyung saved Seung-hyeok Hyung! He’s giving gifts because he’s grateful. He even stopped him from retiring because their matching rate was so high!”
“Yeah. Right. That’s it.”
I quickly nodded.
“Wow! That’s seriously the best!”
Unlike the excited twins, my mother was flustered.
“Still, isn’t this too excessive…?”
My father and my second younger sister, Jisu, also looked at the items with slightly uneasy eyes.
No matter if he was a lifesaver, they felt the gifts were far too extravagant.
“Y-yeah, I guess….”
Trailing off, I first stepped outside. Our house was an old detached house located on the outskirts of Seoul. I walked to the neighbor’s house and then called Joo Seung-hyuk.
“Seung-hyuk-ah, gifts arrived from the department store. What is all this?”
- Is it too lacking? I couldn’t prepare much because I sent them in a hurry.
Lacking! How can you call this lacking? And how did you find out my home address!
I wanted to ask what he was doing and send everything back immediately.
However, the memory of Kim Joon in the original story refusing Joo Seung-hyuk’s gifts, only to be tormented all night with those very items in various R-rated acts, suddenly flashed through my mind, leaving me speechless.
But still, this was too much. I spoke carefully.
“Lacking? I’ve never received so many gifts before. My siblings are happy, too.”
- I’m glad.
“Seung-hyuk-ah, uh, but listen, I’m so grateful that you took care of us like this, really grateful, but our house is small, so there’s no place for everything to fit….”
- Ah, then I should have bought a house first.
You crazy bastard.
“No, I didn’t mean it like that. I’m really grateful, but it’s too much for me.”
- Don’t say it’s too much. Lee Yeon-soo is a special person. Besides, Hyung is my person. We’re going to get married, so what’s too much? Don’t say things like that from now on.
“I’m very grateful you’d say that, but….”
- Throw away the things that don’t fit. And let’s go look at houses next time.
“N-no. I’ll accept them. Thank you!”
I shouted urgently. If nothing else, I had to stop him from giving me a house.
If I accepted a house, I might truly be trapped into marrying him.
- I’m happy because Hyung is happy.
Joo Seung-hyuk’s voice sounded bright. As expected, just accepting it was the right answer….
“Woof woof!”
As I trudged back into the house, Min-woong greeted me.
“Woong-ah!”
Hyung might actually end up marrying a madman at this rate….
I hugged Min-woong to soothe my unauthorized copygloomy heart. However, my siblings didn’t [unauthorized copy]care if their brother was sad; they were preoccupied with the gifts.
“Wow! This came out yesterday! I heard they aren’t even taking reservations because there’s no stock.”
“This one is a limited edition! They don’t even sell this to the general public!”
Min-soo and Kyung-soo chattered frantically while looking at phones and gaming consoles. I didn’t know much about them, but they seemed to be incredibly high-end and hard-to-get items.
“There are three tablets too. All 12-inch Pros!”
“Oh! Daebak! Daebak!”
Joo Seung-hyuk’s scale was unnecessarily large….
“Wow, it finally feels real that Hyung is S-Class.”
“There’s a girl in my class whose sister is A-Class. She’s always draped in luxury brands. I wondered when we’d ever be like that….”
“Hey!”
Jisu poked Kyung-soo in the ribs, giving him a warning look.
Jisu probably felt the same. She must have been [unauthorized copy]envious when friends with Ability unauthorized copyUsers in their family bragged. But she had never once shown it.
She had matured early because of her useless older brother.
If I had become Joo Seung-hyuk’s exclusive guide as in the original story, the whole family would have lived in luxury….
My heart felt heavy, thinking my family had suffered because of me.
“Jisu, this is yours.”
I handed a laptop and a tablet to Jisu, who was looking at me without even touching the boxes. I had been planning to buy them for her anyway, since she was a high school senior.
“Is it really okay for me to take this?”
“Yeah, of course. Hurry and take the other things too. Otherwise, those two will steal them all.”
Since I had already accepted them, there was no taking it back. I just had to enjoy the situation….
“I’m not interested in that. Noona, take that laptop.”
“Right. That laptop can’t run games. It’s for professional work.”
Kyung-soo and Min-soo said, looking at the laptop [unauthorized copy]in Jisu’s [visit our site]hand. They were only middle schoolers, but they knew a lot.
“Okay. You guys take those. I’ll take this one.”
A smile played on Jisu’s lips as she looked at the dark gray laptop. Jisu dreamed of becoming a graphic designer and had wanted a laptop from that brand.
“And this bag would look great on you.”
When I pointed to a black mini cross-body bag with a small luxury logo, Jisu smiled shyly.
“D-do you think so? I feel like something like this should be carried by someone pretty, like an idol….”
“You’re prettier.”
“Hmph…. Liar.”
“I’m not lying. Our Jisu is the prettiest.”
Jisu shook her head as if it weren’t true, but she didn’t seem to dislike it.
“And this is perfect for Mom.”
When I handed a leather tote bag to my mother, who was still just [stolen content]staring blankly, she waved her hand in refusal.
“Oh, I’m fine.”
“Don’t worry. Seung-hyeok is incredibly rich. He’s giving this because he’s grateful I saved him, so there’s no need to feel burdened.”
“Right! That Hyung is a chaebol!”
“Still….”
“Take it. I’m telling you, it’s a purely sincere gift.”
The moment I said ‘purely,’ my conscience pricked me.
“Mom, that’s a real luxury item! It’s crocodile leather, and they say you can’t even buy it with money unless you’re a VIP customer!”
Kyung-soo listed his luxury knowledge. Where on earth did a child hear such information? Probably the internet….
“Dad, this one is for you. Try it on.”
I handed a pair of black leather shoes to my father.
“Shall I?”
My father hesitated for a moment and then put on the shoes. They fit his feet perfectly.
How did Joo Seung-hyuk know my father’s shoe size? For a moment, a chill ran down my spine.
