Chapter 173
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 ssage. At that mont, Koo Hui-seo, after staring at my futile efforts, suddenly asked, “Does Seo Dawon-ssi know that Lee-kyung-ssi is injured?”
“……Yeah.”
“Then, hasn’t he co here?”
“Circumstances happened.” I barely managed to spit out sothing that didn’t seem too awkward, but I was still nervous because Koo Hui-seo didn’t look like he fully believed .
Koo Hui-seo probably noticed that Seo Dawon wasn’t an ordinary human being. Since his mother was Chairwoman Shin, a forr shaman and Witch, she may have passed so hints to him or he may have inherited so of her senses.
However, Koo Hui-seo had never publically wondered about Seo Dawon’s 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 shouldn’t let him know about Seo Dawon’s current helpless state.
Considering the misgivings Kim Olim and Seo Dawon had about Koo Hui-seo–and the way he dealt with Koo Kyungman–he may consider this ti where Seo Dawon couldn’t intervene a golden chance for himself.
Of course, Koo Hui-seo had signed a contract that prevented him from harming , but I shouldn’t let down my guard since he’s such an unusual character.
Thinking about it that way, my absent servants were so an.
‘You’ve always warned to stay far away from Koo Hui-seo… As soon as I collapse, you call that sa person?”
Could they not trust Kim Sangyoon?
No, Koo Hui-seo’s explanation may have been sowhat arbitrary. I didn’t think he’d deceive on purpose, but sothing was weird… Contrary to the servant’s intent, Koo Hui-seo may have been the first to find my collapsed body and taken to the hospital. He may not be lying, but that doesn’t an he’s speaking the truth.
My suspicion of other people was largely influenced by Seo Dawon. Once or twice (or many tis before) I’ve 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 sothing unimaginable.
So, while swallowing a deep sigh, I didn’t bother to give a detailed explanation to Koo Hui-seo. I didn’t 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 co here for a while?”
“No…He’ll probably arrive soon.”
“When?”
“That…I’ll 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 sowhere on his body.
Koo Hui-seo blinked fiercely but did not stop his urging hand. Of course, I couldn’t accept that phone. Who on earth could I contact in order to pretend to set up an appointnt with Seo Dawon…
While I dithered, Koo Hui-seo retracted his outstretched hand and looked at blatantly. Then, he smiled aningfully. My hesitation was answer enough for him.
With an amused expression, he asked, “It seems that Seo Dawon-ssi…is in a situation where he can’t be contacted.”
“It’s just because I don’t want to disturb him while he’s doing sothing else. But, If I’m in danger…”
“You’re in danger right now. You vomited blood… Your body temperature wouldn’t 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 , like soone staring at a child in a cradle.
I was afraid of the incomprehensible smile that adorned his lips. However, I shouldn’t make that obvious. I calmly returned Koo Hui-seo’s 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, but…instead 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 to remove his hands by force since it was so heavy.
And–whatever he was doing–silence reigned between us. I opened my mouth to protest his actions, but suddenly he broke the silence first. “Are you still scared of ?”
“……”
“I still haven’t done anything, yet…”
“……”
“Mmm…Why…Is it because you’re lying down like this…?” His tone was full of amusent, 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?
“Please…move your hand.” Even so, I couldn’t continue to suffer like this. Though I was terribly anxious, I expressed my dislike.
Koo Hui-seo seed hesitant, but eventually pulled his hands off my eyes. Then, as soon as I opened my eyes, he bowed his head towards and rubbed his lips around my eyes. He even made kissing noises.
Unable to endure, I swung my arm and pushed at Koo Hui-seo’s head hard, but only a few strands of hair on his head were disturbed…it didn’t seem like he was affected at all. However, after being hit two or three more tis, 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 shalessly with a flushed face. “I’ll… co 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 …No, Just what did you do right now?”
“That’s why I covered your eyes, though…”
“You crazy bastard!” I yelled again. Perhaps because of my rapidly elevated blood pressure, I beca dizzy and flopped back onto the bed again. Koo Hui-seo stared at from a distance before pressing the ‘Nurse call’ button.
“Don’t let that bastard back in here!” I shouted at the dical staff running into the room while pointing at Koo Hui-seo, but I wasn’t sure if my words were delivered properly because an oxygen mask was so hastily shoved onto my face.
* * *
“Hyung-nim, do you want to peel you more apples?”
“Lee-kyung-ssi would probably prefer bananas…”
Afterwards, I, feeling threatened, sent Kim Sangyoon a party ssage; the warrior ran to Ahn Hospital at once. I had thought of asking the dical staff to bar Koo Hui-seo entry, but I doubted he could be stopped by the dical staff’s power. Thus, I thought about crafting a human wall.
Of course, I couldn’t 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 with a smile on his face. Then, despicably, he continued to give his opinion.
“Give an apple. An apple.” I said.
“Yes!”
I completely ignored the bastard, responded to Kim Sangyoon, and increased the TV’s volu.
Kim Sangyoon, caught between 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 with his body.
As soon as he did that, Koo Hui-seo sighed deeply and apologized to Kim Sangyoon’s back. “Lee-kyung-ssi, I did wrong…”
“……”
“Actually, I ant to do it at ho, but I couldn’t hold it in any longer…”
“If you say another word, I’ll 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 would’ve 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 . One by one, he peeled my fingers from the knife’s handle and removed it from my grasp.
TL: Just a quick chapter before I run off to my honeymoon! (I’ll still update, but slower~)
Hui-seo’s so dead ya’ll.
