I've Been Possessed, But What If I Get Pregnant First? - C10
If I had climbed those stairs, I was certain I wouldn’t have been able to use my legs for the rest of today… no, until tomorrow.
As I was inwardly clicking my tongue at the rough journey ahead, Kwon Taebeom, who had finished climbing all the stairs, put me down. Lowering my head at the softness felt under my sneakers, I saw lush grass spread widely over the yard.
Rich folks, so rich.
To cover this entire wide yard with fresh natural grass, not artificial turf, it must cost a fortune. Thinking that the main character of a novel really is different, I moved my steps to follow Kwon Taebeom.
“Tch. Why are you stripping and going crazy.”
Just then, Kwon Taebeom suddenly stopped, making me smash my nose into his back.
“Ah! Ow…”
As I rubbed my delicate nose bridge, as flimsy as my body, I heard men’s voices not far away.
“Huh…?”
“Oh, Boss is here.”
Slightly bending my waist to the side, I saw men exercising half-naked.
Gulp.
‘Wow. This place is really amazing… Is this paradise on earth? Then I wouldn’t mind being trapped here forever… No, get it together! What are you doing being like this from the start.’
When you think of ‘gangsters’, you imagine bulky muscles and rough faces, but overall they were very satisfactory. Saliva dripped from my gaping mouth as I belatedly came to my senses.
I slapped my cheeks a few times, trying to pull myself together, but my eyes instinctively moved and my mouth slowly opened again.
As I was secretly watching the men, using Kwon Taebeom’s wide back as a cover, suddenly a large hand came up and blocked my view. At the same time, Kwon Taebeom’s low and resonant voice spread towards someone.
“Park Junseok.”
“Boss. You’re here?”
At Kwon Taebeom’s words, a man named ‘Park Junseok’ approached and greeted in a polite voice. Pricking up my ears at the quite nice voice, I surreptitiously pulled on Kwon Taebeom’s hand. But he must have been using more strength than before, as he didn’t budge.
Letting out a deep sigh, I tapped on his hand to express my opinion, but Kwon Taebeom ignored me and conversed with the man.
“But who is the person behind you, Boss? I can’t see very-”
“Don’t need to know, I’ll give you 1 minute. Within that, take the guys and go to the dorm.”
“Understood.”
Without any hesitation, the man who finished answering Kwon Taebeom’s words shouted at Kwon Taebeom’s subordinates in the distance to move to the dorm.
“And.”
“……”
“Wear some clothes.”
“S-sorry.”
“Go.”
The atmosphere froze in an instant at Kwon Taebeom’s cold voice. The man hurriedly moved busily, taking the subordinates with him.
Damn it. I wasn’t done looking!
The more I eavesdropped on the conversation between Kwon Taebeom and the mister named Park Junseok, the more anxious I felt.
‘I need to see more! I haven’t looked to my heart’s content yet!’
I wanted to see more of the back muscles of the man with pomade-styled hair and the biceps of the man with a short sports haircut. As the sound of footsteps gradually faded, I finally grabbed Kwon Taebeom’s wrist and opened my mouth.
“Taebeom, ple-please let go of this!”
But even hanging on with both hands, Kwon Taebeom didn’t budge.
“Mr. Kwon Taebeom!”
As the sound of footsteps faded further and I stamped my feet, strength entered Kwon Taebeom’s hand holding me.
“Be quiet.”
“…Yes…”
I pressed my lips tightly shut at the even colder voice. Cr-crazy, if the boss tells you to be quiet, you have to be quiet. For a moment, I lost my senses and talked back. Cha Yuwon, you idiot. Forgetting what kind of guy Kwon Taebeom is because your eyes are rolling at the men’s physiques…
“So-sorry.”
I apologized, but I’m definitely not scared. I’m just being careful because everyone’s life is precious, well… that’s all.
Gathering the last of my pride, I sighed as I tried hard to rationalize to myself. Keeping my mouth shut and waiting obediently, Kwon Taebeom’s hand left my body.
Quickly opening my eyes and looking around, the men who were in the yard had all disappeared. As I sighed heavily in disappointment, Kwon Taebeom spoke to me.
“Such a tiny thing getting greedy.”
“I was just watching because they were cool…”
“Aren’t I cool.”
“Pardon?”
“I said I’m the cool-est.”
What. Is he jealous right now?
Surprised by Kwon Taebeom’s reaction emphasizing the word ‘coolest’, I looked up at him. Seeing his expression with one eyebrow furrowed, as if upset, I felt like laughter would burst out of my lips any moment. But if I laugh now, I’ll die. Biting my lips tightly to barely suppress my laughter, I nonchalantly asked Kwon Taebeom,
“By the way, where will I be staying? Can I share with those misters earlier?”
As I spoke while looking around here and there, he narrowed his brows even more. Looks like I was right about him being jealous. Again biting my lips to hold back laughter at this new side of the obsessive character.
“Follow me. You’re under special management.”
The inside of the house I entered following Kwon Taebeom was darkness. Is this… really a house where people live? Author. I think you set this up wrong. This is a bit much, don’t you think? It’s perfect for bumping into things here and there if you come out to go to the bathroom at night. Fortunately, sunlight comes in well now so there’s no problem, but at night the situation would be very different.
I shook my head as I looked around the house that was completely black. And I inwardly resolved not to come out much at night if possible.
Going up to the 2nd floor following the black marble stairs, the 2nd floor wasn’t much different from the 1st floor. Can these people even tell things apart? I kept looking around, truly amazed.
“This is the room you’ll use from now on.”
Kwon Taebeom said, pointing to the innermost room. Opening the door slightly, the bed and floor looked very spacious for one person to use.
“Wow. It’s really spacious. Will I be sharing with someone?”
“You keep looking for someone to share with, why. Is there someone you want to share with?”
His words were overflowing with murderous intent. If I said yes, it seemed he would kill at least one person. I should stop teasing him now. I covered my mouth and shook my head.
“First unpack. This room is off-limits to anyone except you. And me. Remember that.”
“Yes!”
Afraid Kwon Taebeom’s murderous eyes would land on me again, I hurried into the room and unpacked.
“Ah, Taebeom. You know… Oh, he left.”
When I turned my head, Kwon Taebeom had already disappeared. I was going to ask when we eat lunch…
Growl-
As expected, a growling sound came from my stomach. I was so hungry. To the point I wondered why Cha Yuwon’s body was so skinny when it cried about being hungry all day.
“The apple Taebeom bought me last time was so delicious…”
I smacked my lips as I took things out of my bag one by one.
Plop.
Suddenly, something cold and damp fell on my thigh. I tilted my head at the dark brown liquid of unknown identity. Gasp. I belatedly recalled the ice cream I had put inside my jacket when I left the house.
“Ah! What do I do!”
I had put it in my coat pocket to eat on the way to Kwon Taebeom’s house, but I had completely forgotten, distracted by the luggage that was heavier than I thought.
Sigh… The ice cream that had been okay outside thanks to the cold weather must have melted as it entered the warm house. I let out a sigh as I helplessly looked at the ice cream flowing through the soggy paper wrapping.
“I can’t live like this…”
I bundled up the clothes wet on the inside of the pocket. Seeing them deeply stained the color of chocolate, I thought I should wash them quickly.
“Where’s the laundry room?”
I left the room to search for the laundry room.
“Where are you going again, unable to hold back?”
I ran into Kwon Taebeom who had finished showering.
…Right, this was the real paradise.
The lingering disappointment quickly disappeared and I busily scanned Kwon Taebeom’s body. The firm, tanned physique, distinct abs, that intense tiger tattoo that wriggled with each movement. Even his hair that was damply wet as if he had washed it, everything was perfect.
Gulp.
“Um, Taebeom, thank you.”
Kwon Taebeom looked down at me as if asking what I was talking about at my sudden words. If I said… thank you for showing me your delicious, no, cool body… it seemed he would flick my forehead harshly again.
“Uh, you said you’d teach me fighting! That, I’m thankful for that! Haha.”
This cheeky mouth is the problem. I slapped my mouth a few times, then blinked innocently with a harmless face and smiled brightly as if it was nothing.
“By the way, what fighting all of a sudden? I thought you said you’d study like a kid.”
“…I’ll study too.”
There were a few workbooks in Cha Yuwon’s room, so I brought a pencil case and this and that. I was planning to take online lectures starting Monday too.
The goal is Korea University. The deadline is the November college entrance exam. Let’s go!
“And I just want to protect my own body. If I can’t, then at least Grandma…”
It’s a bit embarrassing to say it like this. The only thing I knew how to do was build muscle, I didn’t know the first thing about fighting, so if I ran into those guys who might show up at any time… No, I can’t.
Kwon Taebeom placed his large hand on my head as I shuddered.
“Right. It’s good to learn anything. You thought well, Cha Yuwon.”
Even with a nonchalant tone, Kwon Taebeom’s words were warm. Is this person really an obsessive…? Why is he so kind…? If I ask for a hug, he hugs me, and buys me food too. His eyes are a bit scary, but the person himself was kindness itself. As I was rethinking Kwon Taebeom like that, I suddenly felt a strange sense of déjà vu.
