“Young Master. The Hospital Director will be here soon. Please wait quietly until then.”
“Did you hear that, Mr. Police Officers? They say Father is the one who instigated all of this. For your information, my father is the director of Hosan Hospital. Please take him away too.”
The bodyguard, who had spoken up only to gain nothing, shut his mouth tight. I heard the sound of the main gate opening and closing behind me, followed by the sound of footsteps trudging up the stone stairs.
Thinking Kwon Yi-kang had already arrived, I turned my head only to see Father coming up with a stiff face. Ah, I wanted to avoid him, but the timing is really bad.
“What do you think you’re doing?”
Father, who had come up the stairs with Chief Bae behind him, stood before me and asked.
“I was recording a scene of kidnapping and confinement in real-time. I have to leave evidence.”
“You crazy bastard.”
“What’s with the ‘crazy bastard’ to your own child? I can’t believe such words came out of the mouth of a cultured father.”
“Go inside right now.”
“I’m leaving. If you have something to say, say it quickly. I’ll listen and then leave.”
I was willing to listen if he summarized his words in about 300 characters right here. I meant it that way, but Father gave my suitcase a light kick with his foot.
“Are you thinking of leaving the house with your bags packed?”
“Our father is quick-witted too. Perhaps you’re familiar with it since you’ve experienced it once. How is it? …Do the events of thirty-five years ago come to mind?”
“You! It seems that bastard finally told you!”
“It’s quite a shameful thing, isn’t it?”
Of course, it’s not a shameful thing for me, but something for Father and Grandfather to be ashamed of. More than that, they should feel guilt first, but if they were people who felt guilt, they wouldn’t have done such a thing in the first place.
“Even after hearing that, you’re willing to follow that bastard?”
“Thanks to that, my family registry is clean. There’s nothing to get caught on.”
“You, you, you crazy bastard…”
I stepped back to avoid his hand as he raised it to hit me.
“I didn’t think you were like this, but your habit of using your hands is quite bad. You shouldn’t just start swinging your hands just because things don’t go your way. What era is this, hitting your own child? For your information, I’ve kept photos of the last time you hit me. As time passed, the bruises even came up. See this?”
I grinned, pointing to the faint bruise remaining on my cheekbone.
“I’ve sent the photos to Kwon Yi-kang, telling him to report it if I don’t come out of this house. Domestic violence and confinement. Do you think I’d just crawl back in without a thought after being hit and leaving like that?”
Just how much does he underestimate his child? Hit me and I’ll take it quietly, tell me to do something and I’ll do it. Even pets aren’t raised like that these days. People cherish them so much. To think he’d try to raise his own child according to his own whims, he’s certainly lived a comfortable life.
“It seems you have nothing more to say, so I’ll be going now. Why are you holding me back when you don’t even have a specific purpose?”
Does he not know the saying that time is gold? As I grumbled and pulled the suitcase handle, Father kicked the suitcase. The suitcase slipped from my hand, tilted, and fell to the ground.
“I gave birth to you, fed you, clothed you, and raised you, and now what? Assault and confinement to your parents? Are you saying you’re so bewitched by that mere fellow that you can’t even see your family?”
“Anyone listening would think our family love is immense. How long has it been since the funeral, and weren’t you trying to hastily sell off your remaining child? That’s why you picked the guy who would buy me for the highest price. What more do you want? Just stop it already.”
“There’s nothing you can’t say! Whose pocket do you think the things you’ve enjoyed until now came from? To say that after enjoying everything you could, what?”
I knew these words would come out, but I’m the one who’s aggrieved because I’ve only enjoyed it for a mere three or four months. The Cha Soo-kyung who was fed, clothed, and raised for nearly twenty years died long ago.
“That’s why I’ve lived as an obedient child until now. What more do you need? Do you want me to cough up the money spent on raising me?”
“If you’re leaving, leave with nothing but your body. The things you enjoy, the clothes you’re wearing, the items you possess. Do you think a single one of them was bought with your own money?”
Wow, playing dirty, are we? Then shouldn’t the money spent on the Omega father be separated? I thought about being petty until the very end, but I gave up because it felt like it would just be more exhausting.
“You’re being so stingy. Fine, I won’t take it. I’m not taking it. I’ll leave this suitcase behind too. What else? The clothes I’m wearing? I’ll take them off before I go.”
I set down the bag I was carrying and took off my coat ostentatiously. I took off my jacket, my shirt, and even the thin t-shirt I had on underneath. At the sight of my half-naked body, Father’s face contorted.
“Ah, I’m taking this bag because I bought it with my father’s card a few days ago. As for the wallet, I don’t know whose card was used to buy it. I don’t need it, so you can have it. All I need is my father’s card and my ID.”
I took out the ID and the Omega father’s card, put them in the bag, and threw the wallet at the Alpha father’s feet.
“Did you buy the rest for me too, Father? The shoes? I’ll leave them. I’ll take off my socks too. And I’m leaving the belt in my pants.”
I kicked off my shoes and peeled off my socks. As I stood barefoot in the garden and loosened my belt, Father’s brow furrowed even deeper. He seemed to want to see how far I’d go, and a guy like me is the type to go all the way.
I lowered the zipper and stripped off my pants. A chilly breeze swept over my bare body.
“Father. Did you buy my underwear too?”
Father’s mouth hung open at the sight of me standing there in nothing but my underwear. He stood there blankly, perhaps too stunned to speak, before finally closing his lips and letting out a low groan.
“Did you buy them or not? Don’t you remember?”
I waited for an answer, but since none came, I eventually pulled my underwear down for all to see.
“Stop it!”
At the sudden shout, the underwear caught slightly below my buttocks.
“You’re bringing shame upon this family.”
“You were the one who told me to leave stripped, Father.”
“What did you say?”
“Stop being so stubborn. You’re exhausting. I’ll just take this off and leave feeling refreshed.”
To Father and the guards of this house, my image was already that of a degenerate, and rather than engaging in an endless argument, it was better for my mental health to just strip and leave.
I held the bag to cover my private parts and slid the underwear all the way down. The underwear leaped into the air and landed with a thud near Father.
“That was quite an experience. The guards got to see something they won’t see anywhere else. This will be talked about for a long time, Father.”
Since my business here was truly finished, I turned around to leave. My bare buttocks must have been clearly visible to Father, but there was no way to cover my already naked body.
“What are you doing! Why aren’t you stopping that crazy bastard!”
“Just try and catch me. Since you’ve seen how crazy I am, wouldn’t it be safer to be careful? If you grab me now, I’ll sue you for sexual harassment on top of everything else.”
Unless they grabbed me by the hair, any touch would be on bare skin. If they grabbed my hair, I’d report it as assault; if they touched my skin, I’d report it as sexual harassment.
I walked down the stairs with my shoulders and back held high and proud. From behind, my wiggling buttocks probably polluted the view more than my proud shoulders did.
The Alpha father screamed at the top of his lungs from behind, seemingly boiling with rage, yet not a single person dared to stop me. Chief Bae hovered anxiously near me, but he didn’t rashly lay a hand on my body.
“Young Master.”
“Chief Bae. Are you lingering because you want to see my dick? Should I put the bag down?”
He probably didn’t want to see another man’s dick. I chuckled as I watched Chief Bae turn his head away with a look of disgust.
Hoping that Kwon Yi-kang was there, I boldly flung open the main gate. As if our minds were linked, Kwon Yi-kang was waiting right there with his car parked, and he froze the moment he saw my state.
“You, what on earth is that…”
“Just drive.”
Though I maintained a nonchalant face, in reality, I felt like hiding in a mouse hole. This alley didn’t have many pedestrians, but I was nervous that someone might see me like this.
I am a person who knows shame, so I hoped he wouldn’t point out the current situation and would just let me in the car. As I hurriedly opened the passenger door to climb in, Chief Bae grabbed my arm.
“Young Master!”
“Ah, let go. Why are you touching someone’s sensitive skin? Why are you groping me? Were you that kind of person, Chief Bae?”
“No, that’s not it… Please, just go back inside the house first.”
“I said I don’t want to. Let go already. Stop touching my dick.”
“When did I ever touch—!”
When I shouted loudly, Chief Bae looked startled. Kwon Yi-kang approached, pried Chief Bae’s hand off, and pushed him away firmly.
“Get in.”
I was planning to get in even if he didn’t say so. I leaped into the passenger seat and slammed the door shut. I could see Chief Bae knocking on the window from the outside, but I turned my head and ignored him.
“What the hell is this look?”
“He told me to leave everything behind since nothing was bought with my own money. So I stripped everything off and came out.”
Kwon Yi-kang, now in the driver’s seat, asked in a slightly annoyed tone as he started the car. Regardless, I remained proud. After all, why else would I have gone through this? I had done nothing wrong.
“Do you have a blanket or something? Is this car tinted? You can’t see everything from the outside, right?”
“Just wrap yourself in this for now. I’ll have to buy something on the way.”
Kwon Yi-kang took off his suit jacket and threw it to me, then drove off quickly. Wearing only a suit jacket over a naked body made me feel like a pervert.
It suddenly dawned on me that I had done something quite extraordinary. I hadn’t even walked around naked when I was Min Jae-hee. I felt like I was doing even more degenerate things as Cha Soo-kyung.
