T.W: Sexual Assault

Then, how are the servants right now?

Gleaning that this situation was worse than expected, I took another look at the [Status Window]. There may be a clue in resolving the penalty situation.

However, nothing changed even if I pressed the red warning message. At that moment, Koo Hui-seo, after staring at my futile efforts, suddenly asked, Does Seo Dawon-ssi know that Lee-kyung-ssi is injured?

Yeah.

Then, hasnt he come here?

Circumstances happened. I barely managed to spit out something that didnt seem too awkward, but I was still nervous because Koo Hui-seo didnt look like he fully believed me.

Koo Hui-seo probably noticed that Seo Dawon wasnt an ordinary human being. Since his mother was Chairwoman Shin, a former shaman and Witch, she may have passed some hints to him or he may have inherited some of her senses.

However, Koo Hui-seo had never publically wondered about Seo Dawons identity nor had he acted on his doubts, so I never had to explain anything. And, if he knew exactly what was happening, I thought I shouldnt let him know about Seo Dawons current helpless state.

Considering the misgivings Kim Olim and Seo Dawon had about Koo Hui-seoand the way he dealt with Koo Kyungmanhe may consider this time where Seo Dawon couldnt intervene a golden chance for himself.

Of course, Koo Hui-seo had signed a contract that prevented him from harming me, but I shouldnt let down my guard since hes such an unusual character.

Thinking about it that way, my absent servants were so mean.

Youve always warned me to stay far away from Koo Hui-seo As soon as I collapse, you call that same person?

Could they not trust Kim Sangyoon?

No, Koo Hui-seos explanation may have been somewhat arbitrary. I didnt think hed deceive me on purpose, but something was weird Contrary to the servants intent, Koo Hui-seo may have been the first to find my collapsed body and taken me to the hospital. He may not be lying, but that doesnt mean hes speaking the truth.

My suspicion of other people was largely influenced by Seo Dawon. Once or twice (or many times before) Ive been stabbed in the back after just passing over such inconsistencies. The current situation may also be brought about after Koo Hui-seo had calmly committed something unimaginable.

So, while swallowing a deep sigh, I didnt bother to give a detailed explanation to Koo Hui-seo. I didnt want to particularly depend on him any more.

However, Koo Hui-seo obstinately insisted on asking questions today. Then, will Seo Dawon-ssi be unable to come here for a while?

NoHell probably arrive soon.

When?

ThatIll have to contact him to know

Should I lend you my cell phone?

I felt strangely tested after he took out a cell phone from somewhere on his body.

Koo Hui-seo blinked fiercely but did not stop his urging hand. Of course, I couldnt accept that phone. Who on earth could I contact in order to pretend to set up an appointment with Seo Dawon

While I dithered, Koo Hui-seo retracted his outstretched hand and looked at me blatantly. Then, he smiled meaningfully. My hesitation was answer enough for him.

With an amused expression, he asked, It seems that Seo Dawon-ssiis in a situation where he cant be contacted.

Its just because I dont want to disturb him while hes doing something else. But, If Im in danger

Youre in danger right now. You vomited blood Your body temperature wouldnt rise properly, so you were in the ICU until yesterday.

God damn

I faltered and looked up; Koo Hui-seo bent over and looked down at me, like someone staring at a child in a cradle.

I was afraid of the incomprehensible smile that adorned his lips. However, I shouldnt make that obvious. I calmly returned Koo Hui-seos hair-raising gaze without closing my eyes.

Lee-kyung-ssi, your heart is racing incredibly fast.

Beep Beep Beep

Ironically, though, an electrocardiogram sensor was attached to my chest.

When my face turned clearly red with the ECG machine sound, Koo Hui-seo outstretched a hand towards my flinching self; he placed his finger on my face, close enough to poke my eye. I reflexively closed my eyes, butinstead of the expected pain, I felt a gentle brushing touch.

Why is he touching my eyelashes!

With just that, I pretended to ignore him, but Koo Hui-seo took it another step further. He covered my eyes with one hand. On top of that, it was difficult for me to remove his hands by force since it was so heavy.

Andwhatever he was doingsilence reigned between us. I opened my mouth to protest his actions, but suddenly he broke the silence first. Are you still scared of me?

I still havent done anything, yet

MmmWhyIs it because youre lying down like this? His tone was full of amusement, but, as Koo Hui-seo touched my eyes, my intestines cringed. Should I say that it felt like a murderer hiding an awl behind his back was wandering nearby?

Pleasemove your hand. Even so, I couldnt continue to suffer like this. Though I was terribly anxious, I expressed my dislike.

Koo Hui-seo seemed hesitant, but eventually pulled his hands off my eyes. Then, as soon as I opened my eyes, he bowed his head towards me and rubbed his lips around my eyes. He even made kissing noises.

Unable to endure, I swung my arm and pushed at Koo Hui-seos head hard, but only a few strands of hair on his head were disturbedit didnt seem like he was affected at all. However, after being hit two or three more times, he slowly retreated. Huffing and Puffing, I glared at him as he took his hands out of his pants.

I looked at him, wondering why his hands were even there, but that thought stopped short when I saw his bulging crotch.

After giving another man such a huge shock, the pervert laughed shamelessly with a flushed face. Ill come again tomorrow.

Is he really trying to walk out without an apology?

Angrily, I yelled at him, Are you crazy?!

Why

Just what did you do to meNo, Just what did you do right now?

Thats why I covered your eyes, though

You crazy bastard! I yelled again. Perhaps because of my rapidly elevated blood pressure, I became dizzy and flopped back onto the bed again. Koo Hui-seo stared at me from a distance before pressing the Nurse call button.

Dont let that bastard back in here! I shouted at the medical staff running into the room while pointing at Koo Hui-seo, but I wasnt sure if my words were delivered properly because an oxygen mask was so hastily shoved onto my face.

* * *

Hyung-nim, do you want me to peel you more apples?

Lee-kyung-ssi would probably prefer bananas

Afterwards, I, feeling threatened, sent Kim Sangyoon a party message; the warrior ran to Ahn Hospital at once. I had thought of asking the medical staff to bar Koo Hui-seo entry, but I doubted he could be stopped by the medical staffs power. Thus, I thought about crafting a human wall.

Of course, I couldnt explain the detailed circumstances, but Kim Sangyoon happily accepted to be my caregiver when I requested that of him. And, he even took caregiving quite seriously.

For a while, I felt sorry for leaving unpleasant tasks to Kim Sangyoon. As soon as visitor hours opened at 6 p.m, Koo Hui-seo arrived with both hands full of fruit baskets and drinks.

I yelled at him to get lost; Kim Sangyoon was embarrassed, but soon succeeded in pushing Koo Hui-seo into the corner. Even though he was driven to where the radiator was located, Koo Hui-seo continued to look at me with a smile on his face. Then, despicably, he continued to give his opinion.

Give me an apple. An apple. I said.

Yes!

I completely ignored the bastard, responded to Kim Sangyoon, and increased the TVs volume.

Kim Sangyoon, caught between me and Koo Hui-seo, looked like he was at a loss. However, when he realized I was purposefully ignoring Koo Hui-seo, the warrior moved his seat so he could hide me with his body.

As soon as he did that, Koo Hui-seo sighed deeply and apologized to Kim Sangyoons back. Lee-kyung-ssi, I did wrong

Actually, I meant to do it at home, but I couldnt hold it in any longer

If you say another word, Ill actually kill you.

H-Hyung-nim Put down the fruit knife Kim Sangyoon whined.

Of course, his apology was quite one-sided.

If only I was able, I wouldve stabbed him. However, my condition was far from recovered; while I was impeded by sudden muscle pain, Kim Sangyoon caught the hand holding the fruit knife. Sangyoon restlessly watched me. One by one, he peeled my fingers from the knifes handle and removed it from my grasp.

TL: Just a quick chapter before I run off to my honeymoon! (Ill still update, but slower~)

Hui-seos so dead yall.
