After dessert, we were supposed to make our way back to the mansion but I decided to stroll a bit. And since we were strolling in the streets where anyone could attack Jin-Yeok, the guards used their bodies as barricades and walked ahead of us.
I didn’t like that I was parading everywhere with Jin-Yeok and having our pictures taken because people would make speculations that we were a couple and write about it.
If the other two saw this, how well would they take it?
I felt so many eyes on that it was starting to get uncomfortable. I felt like I was being watched, my every step and my every action. Gosh, even my words needed to be filtered if I didn’t want to be slandered for saying bad words on the streets.
It’s not like I have a habit of cussing or anything, and living with the three masters has made it possible for to filter my true thoughts without getting caught.
’Thank goodness I’m not addicted to the Internet. Who knows what I’d see if I went online after getting ho? People must be slandering .’
And if Su-Yeon had taken to the Internet to vent, cry and say I had stolen her man and that I was a man whore, I can guess how many people would hate before knowing the whole story.
But maybe she might not resort to that yet. It’s not like having other people hate on would make Jin-Yeok hate .
So, she would either decide to get rid of the old-fashioned way or set up so Jin-Yeok would co to hate .
I choose neither option, though. I’m just trying to live in peace.
My eyes caught the candy shop across the street and as if I had been bewitched, I walked away from Jin-Yeok and attempted to cross the road without even looking if any cars were coming.
"Jo-Pil, where are you going?" Jin-Yeok called and I paused, turning my head to answer him.
"I want to get so candy." I said and continued walking, only for a car to zoom towards at the speed of light as if it were waiting for that very mont to hit the acceleration.
"Jo-Pil!" Jin-Yeok called out to in an alarming tone.
I tried to get out of the way but my body wouldn’t move.
I didn’t understand. What sort of plot was this?
I don’t know if I was simply frozen in fear or if my body was being controlled, but I couldn’t move and stared at the car coming my way at full speed.
And the person sitting behind the wheels was none other than Su-Yeon. That damn bitch... So this was the route she decided to take in the end.
Why was it always the cliche hit-and-run route?
’This is definitely going to hurt. I hope I don’t die.’ I shut my eyes, but then a hand pulled out of the road, and we rolled over, safely out of the way, and the car sped past, not stopping for a second.
My heart was thumping violently and my body was trembling. What was that?
I got a familiar eerie sensation creeping all over my body. Where have I felt this before?
Ah, it was when that heavy material fell and crushed .
I couldn’t feel my body even though it felt like I was trembling. My eyes were open, but my vision was blurry, and a still coldness filled my body. It ran through like winter and caused to slowly lose my consciousness.
This feeling... It was the feeling of death creeping all over . I don’t know how I know but I just know it.
Was I dying? But I didn’t get hit though. Jin-Yeok saved . He saved , and we rolled around the flow a bit, so why...?
I blinked my eyes, my eyes blurring as sothing wet and warm flowed down my head. It seed like I hit my head so I was bleeding.
Was it bad?
"Jo-Pil," Jin-Yeok called out to anxiously.
Yeah, it might’ve been very bad since he had that ti in his voice. Was he scared? It sounded like he was more angry than scared.
"Jo-Pil!" He yelled once more, shaking my body.
I was in his arms so why was he yelling so much? It made my head ache. I should probably answer him so he doesn’t have that pathetic tone in that pretty voice of his, but for so reason, I couldn’t open my lips. I couldn’t answer even if I wanted to.
I...
"Hwang Jo-Pil!" He yelled for the third ti but I was sleepy. I felt him carry up but even the sensation on my body was dull. Very dull.
I’d just sleep for a minute and maybe when I wake up, I’ll be back in my world. This was the feeling I got when I ca to this world, right?
So, I hope to wake up in my real world and I don’t have to worry about my three masters. I don’t have to see their handso faces and their... Habit of spending lavishly.
Okay, maybe I’ll miss them a bit.
I finally fell asleep, and the next mont, I woke up in a hospital.
"Manager, you’re finally awake." I heard a voice I hadn’t heard for a long ti.
My eyes shot open and I turned to my side right away only to find Tae-Ming with teary eyes.
"Tae... Ming?"
"You rember who I am, thank goodness." He hugged but his weight only pressed on my aching body.
"Ouch, ouch," he quickly let go and sniffed.
"Sorry, manager." He said as he cleaned his eyes. "We were so worried you would die. It’s a miracle, honestly."
A miracle, eh? I looked around the hospital and then at Tae-Ming. It was all real.
I guess it was indeed a miracle. I was finally back.
I laid my back on the bed and covered my face, feeling emotional for so reason.
"I’m glad I’m out of that dream," I exclaid but was I really glad? I might’ve just been saying that because that was my goal from the beginning.
To wake up.
But was that really what my heart wanted?
