I've Been Possessed, But What If I Get Pregnant First? - C106

“Ugh.”
When he tried to raise his hand to the blood flowing down his eyes, his arms were tied behind his back and he couldn’t move at all. No matter how much he twisted his arms or applied force, they remained tightly bound.
“Haa… hic.”
The blood flowing from his head soaked his shirt. A fishy smell filled the narrow space. Though his vision swam, he barely managed to raise his body, leaning against the wall.
“Where is this…?”
No matter how he looked at it, it didn’t seem like a place where people would live. Without even flooring, trash was strewn about on the cold cement floor, filling up one wall. On one side was a pile of syringes and medicine bottles.
Is someone sick…? With a puzzled feeling, he tilted his head and looked around again. At that moment, he heard someone’s footsteps outside the window, and thinking this was his chance, he shouted loudly.
“Is anyone there? There’s someone here! Help me!”
Then the feet wearing sneakers hesitated, and I raised my voice again with all my might.
“Over here! There’s someone trapped here- Ah!”
Suddenly my head was yanked back. Kim Sangchul, with cloudy eyes, had appeared at some point and was gripping my head, looking down at me.
A strange smell came from his mouth. As I frowned, Kim Sangchul smiled with twisted lips and said:
“Are you awake now? If you’re awake, you should say so. I waited a long time.”
“…Stop-“
“Come here, Cha Yuwon.”
Kim Sangchul’s hand came closer and closer. As the hand approached endlessly, I wished this was all a dream.
I prayed desperately, but as always, God was not on my side. As it always had, the worst situation suddenly approached me.
“Stop it now.”
I said to Kim Sangchul, who was sprawled out, heavily intoxicated. After being locked up for days already with him watching me like he was monitoring me, I felt like I’d rather die.
“Whyyy… I’ll show you more, heheh, ah, this is funny.”
“Stop, hic… I said stop!”
Kim Sangchul staggered to his feet, took a long drag on his cigarette, and played the video. No matter how much I wailed and struggled, Kim Sangchul just burst into abnormal laughter.
He forcibly fixed my head towards the screen and made me watch the video.
[This morning at 10 AM, Lee Hyun-jung, wife of Taeho Group Chairman Kwon Tae-chul, died at Seoul Baek Hospital. Police believe Ms. Lee’s vehicle overturned after colliding with a vehicle that crossed the center line from the opposite side, and they will investigate the detailed circumstances. Ms. Lee, who was rescued from the scene, was transported to the hospital but eventually died. The funeral hall is at Seoul Baek Hospital, and the funeral procession will be on the 22nd at 7 AM…]
“Stop… please stop… I beg you…”
With my hands and feet tied, it was impossible to cover my ears. I could only tightly close my eyes and ignore the announcer’s voice penetrating my ears.
For three days since being kidnapped by Kim Sangchul, the same video had been played countless times.
It was a video from 12 years ago, showing a young Kwon Taebeom in mourning clothes at the funeral of the victim who had been in an accident hit by a drowsy driver who crossed the center line from the opposite side. I felt like I was going crazy at the fact that the cause of that accident, the reason Kwon Taebeom lost his mother, was none other than my parents.
“Do you understand now? Heheh, hic, why you and that bastard can’t be together?”
“I know… I know! So, hic… please stop now…”
Kwon Taebeom knew all this. He turned away from me because he knew everything. Not knowing this, I had clung to him asking to date… to meet… I resented my past self.
“Huu… hic.”
“Ugh… what, there’s no alcohol. Ptooey-“
Kim Sangchul, heavily intoxicated, staggered out of the warehouse to buy more alcohol. The voice from the video Kim Sangchul had shown still echoed in my ears.
“This was… why hyung… abandoned me…”
All hope disappeared as if all the light in the world had vanished.
When hyung pushed me away like that, I had hope that if I lived harder, if I became a better person, hyung would look at me even a little.
But I couldn’t cling to hyung anymore. I couldn’t even show my face to hyung who resented me and resented my parents.
From the beginning, I was someone who couldn’t go to hyung. Someone who shouldn’t.
“If there’s no hyung… there’s no reason to live.”
Realizing this, my mind became calmer instead. As if seeing the answer, what I needed to do from now on was clearly drawn.
Somehow, hyung had become my entire life. So there was no reason for me to exist in this world without hyung.
“Then… there’s no reason to live.”
Taking advantage of Kim Sangchul’s relaxed surveillance after he went out, I got up. My legs were still bound with large shackles, but relatively, my hands were free.
If I was going to die, now was the chance.
***
As soon as we entered the building where Yuwon’s last appearance was caught, a musty smell was noticeable from the entrance. It was such a poor environment for people to live in that I doubted if Yuwon was really here.
Thump, thump. Taebeom’s footsteps echoed in the quiet corridor, with men following behind.
“It’s here.”
“Open it.”
White smoke rose every time Taebeom exhaled. The man who received the order pointed his gun at the door without hesitation.
Bang- Bang-
Two gunshots rang out, and the door opened without unnecessary action. As we entered, the marijuana smell that filled the building became even more intense.
Frowning, Taebeom moved inside and started looking for Yuwon. And when he finally encountered Yuwon, Taebeom discovered what was in his hand and shouted loudly.
“Cha Yuwon!”
“Don’t come, hic, don’t come…!”
“What are you doing, stop this right now!”
Yuwon was holding a knife. More precisely, he was trying to cut his wrist. Taebeom tried to stop him, but because Yuwon brought the knife closer to his wrist, he couldn’t move rashly. The subordinates who followed Taebeom inside couldn’t hide their confusion at the suddenly unfolding situation.
It was incomprehensible that Yuwon, who had been kidnapped, was suddenly doing this. But stopping him was more important than understanding. Taebeom carefully approached the defiant Yuwon.
“Cha Yuwon! Calm down first.”
“Don’t come… hic, I want to stop now…. Please just leave me alone!”
Yuwon, with his eyes tightly closed, raised his hand gripping the knife high. He recalled Taebeom’s shocked face looking at him. He was sorry to show such a sight until the end. Yuwon hurriedly swung his arm towards his wrist.
“Kid, you really don’t listen.”
“…Stop, hic.”
But Yuwon’s movement was blocked by Taebeom. Somehow he had come close and was firmly gripping Yuwon’s wrist. Yuwon gritted his teeth and twisted his hand, but it was not enough to overcome Taebeom’s strength.
“Put the knife down.”
“Let go.”
“Cha Yuwon.”
Like an idiot, why are you coming here, what are you worried about…? Remembering Kwon Taebeom, who was kind until the end, something welled up inside.
Just let me die. Just don’t care about someone like me. Yuwon momentarily pushed Taebeom hard and raised his hand holding the knife high.
“Just, just leave me alone!”
However, although he had pushed Taebeom away with all his might, he was still embracing him. Not understanding what had happened for a moment, he looked up at him blankly.
After a moment of silence, a groan from Taebeom brushed Yuwon’s ear.
“Ugh-“
“……”
“Boss!”
“Taebeom, sir!”
At the voices of others, Yuwon finally began to understand the situation of Taebeom who was holding him tightly. Whether he had been cut by the knife Yuwon had swung, the bright color of blood flowing from Taebeom’s neck struck Yuwon’s eyes.
Yuwon was so shocked by what he had done that he dropped the knife. With the clang of the knife falling, darkness fell before his eyes. The fishy smell of blood permeating his nose made him dizzy. Thinking that this blood came from Taebeom, his hands and feet trembled and he felt like the blood was draining from his body.
Yuwon’s legs gave out and he collapsed in place, staring at the bright red puddle made of Taebeom’s blood. The movements of the men approaching Taebeom to check his condition were busy.
“Hey, kid.”
“What, ah… ah…”
Despite the blood from his neck soaking his entire shirt and dripping to the floor, Taebeom raised Yuwon with an unperturbed face.
Yuwon trembled even more at his still gentle voice. His mind went blank and he couldn’t think of anything.
“Ah… what should I do… ugh.”
“Cha Yuwon!”
Yuwon, who had been gasping for breath, suddenly staggered greatly. Taebeom caught the collapsing Yuwon, disregarding his worsening bleeding. However, even with hazy eyes, Yuwon pushed Taebeom away as if having a seizure.
