I've Been Possessed, But What If I Get Pregnant First? - C12
“Cha Yuwon, you…”
Growl-
It was amazing that such a loud sound came from this small body. Moreover, it wasn’t a cute little growl but a loud rumble…
Rumble rumble… Even though I made the sound, I pressed on my stomach with amazed eyes.
“Bring something the kid would like.”
Hearing my loud growling sound, Kwon Taebeom turned his head and spoke to the man standing behind him.
Oh, come to think of it, I didn’t even get to greet him properly after parting like that last time.
Like a citizen of the Eastern courtesy nation, I tried to get up, but Kwon Taebeom firmly pressed my shoulder to stop me.
“Stay still.”
Uh… I wasn’t trying to follow. But it’s nice that he’s worried about me.
Kwon Taebeom sat on the chair next to the bed and stared at me intently. His eyes were still filled with worry.
So warm…
When was the last time I saw eyes like this… I couldn’t even remember. I must have been lonely all this time. Feeling awkward at the newly realized emotion, I rubbed the corner of my eyes and held Kwon Taebeom’s hand to my cheek.
“Were you worried about me?”
I suddenly wanted to act cute. Perhaps because his body is big or because he seems mature. I kept wanting to lean on Kwon Taebeom.
“A little.”
“Ah…”
To my words that I half-jokingly and half-seriously said, Kwon Taebeom answered with a serious face. My ears felt hot at the unexpected answer. Rubbing my flushed earlobes, I brought up that man earlier to change the subject.
“But, um, that mister earlier seemed really skilled. He subdued me in one go like bam! Pow!”
I needlessly made a fuss with exaggerated gestures, and Kwon Taebeom nodded his head or responded, asking if that’s what happened. Ah, but come to think of it, I wondered what I would learn here from now on. It would be nice if I could at least do the self-defense that man did earlier.
Exhausted from moving in an exaggerated manner when I was already hungry, I laid my body back down on the bed. And looking at Kwon Taebeom wiping my slightly sweaty forehead, I opened my mouth.
“But who will I learn fighting from?”
***
“Ah! I surrender! Tae-Taebeom, I surrender! I can’t do it, I don’t want to!”
The day after I arrived at Kwon Taebeom’s house to learn fighting, I shouted my surrender to Kwon Taebeom.
“Hic, I can’t do it. You said I’m a kid! Kids can’t do this!”
Kwon Taebeom said the first thing in fighting is a preemptive strike and handed me a knife. I, I’ve only used a knife to cut onions. And he’s telling me to stab myself with this. That crazy bastard, I complimented him so much, he must have gone crazy.
“Don’t come!”
“Come here.”
“I, I said I don’t want to?”
I was stupid for voluntarily entering this crazy guy’s den. With the thought of running away right now, I dashed towards the door.
“Haa, huff…”
“You don’t seem to be a fast runner either.”
When did he catch up, Kwon Taebeom, with a serious face deep in thought, blocked the doorway. I wanted to shout ‘You ignorant bastard!’ but holding it in, I forcefully looked at the knife in Kwon Taebeom’s hand.
“Here. First try grabbing it. I’ll teach you how to use it.”
Tears finally welled up in my eyes at Kwon Taebeom’s action of forcefully trying to put the knife in my hand.
“Hic…”
“Cha Yuwon?”
Kwon Taebeom called my name at my suddenly watery voice.
“Huu- It’s scary, hic. I, I don’t like this. Sob…”
Tears burst out from the misery. This wasn’t what I wanted to learn. I thought I would learn basic self-defense or attacking vital points, but this was like trying to turn people into criminals.
Wiping the corners of my eyes with my sleeve, I spoke in a sobbing voice.
“I want to go… Sob, I’d rather go, hic, go to an academy, huu…”
As expected, there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Kwon Taebeom must have really been trying to scout me as a murderer or the youngest in his organization.
I’m, sob. Handsome and cute, and smart too, so of course he’d be tempted. Maybe he accepted my proposal not because he likes me, but to use me as a high-quality member of his organization.
“Huu… Grandma… Sob.”
Why did Cha Yuwon’s grandmother come to mind at a time like this? I remembered her gently stroking my hand, saying I could always come back to her, and tears fell with a plop.
When I closed my eyes and burst into tears as if I was miserable, Kwon Taebeom shut his mouth. Then suddenly I felt a sensation enveloping my body, so I opened my eyes, but it was pitch black and I couldn’t see anything.
However, the hand carefully wrapping around my back and Kwon Taebeom’s refreshing and unique scent let me know he was hugging me.
“Hic, why, why are you hugging me. Why are you hugging me as you please… Huu…”
I hated this man who always acted as he pleased. When I sobbed again, twisting my body, Kwon Taebeom who slowly patted my back spoke.
“Then why did you say you want to learn this kind of thing.”
Kwon Taebeom pulled his face away and wiped the tears welling up in the corners of my eyes. When I lifted my head at his gentle touch, my eyes met Kwon Taebeom’s, full of amusement.
“Were you very scared?”
Kwon Taebeom carefully rubbed the corners of my eyes wet with tears and swept back my hair stuck to my forehead from sweat.
But I… I think I remember this line. The words Kwon Taebeom said while saving Yoon Seolah… Was it not…?
I remember the next part was probably ‘So just stay by my side.’ Ay… No way.
Gulping down my saliva, I waited for Kwon Taebeom’s next words. Finally, Kwon Taebeom’s mouth slowly opened, and he said while caressing my cheek,
“So don’t think useless thoughts and just stay by my side.”
Kwon Taebeom’s eyes had a strange glint as he said that. I tried to find the meaning in those eyes, but it was hard to figure out Kwon Taebeom’s thoughts.
“I’ll take care of everything.”
However, I could clearly realize that it was really too late now, just as Kwon Taebeom said. Ah… This is really big trouble.
I returned to my room as if running away, saying I couldn’t do it because it was too hard. As soon as I entered the room, I firmly locked the door and hurriedly knelt in front of the bed. I reached under the bed mattress and took out the notebook I had hidden.
“Ca-calmly. Let’s think calmly.”
Taking a deep breath, I took out the notebook and sat in front of the desk. What was the reason Kwon Taebeom ended up locking up Yoon Seolah? I need to figure that out first. Flipping through the notebook page by page, I tried to recall the novel’s content.
The moment I met Kwon Taebeom’s gaze a little while ago, I could feel his interest was directed towards Cha Yuwon. That is, me.
This femme fatale… I thought I had no charm because I couldn’t seduce a single man all this time, but I guess that wasn’t it. It was just a face problem…
Anyway! Still, I don’t know why my luck is twisted like this after spending just one night together, my mood would be good but then I’d recall the obsession and crazy things Kwon Taebeom would do in the future and goosebumps would rise all over my body.
“Haa… What do I do…”
No matter how much I tried to think and think while flipping through the notebook, I couldn’t remember.
“I can’t… I just can’t remember why he did that!”
If I had known this would happen, I would have read it carefully. Since it was a novel I read to pass time while briefly hospitalized, I couldn’t vividly recall all the details.
“This is driving me crazy…”
No matter how much I wracked my brain, I couldn’t remember the content, so I finally closed the notebook and let out a long sigh.
There was no choice. I had to execute Plan B.
Yoon Seolah. Let me apologize in advance. But there’s no choice. Everyone is… selfish…
I closed my eyes and clasped my hands together to pray for Yoon Seolah, the female lead of this novel.
Please show up quickly and take Kwon Taebeom away…

“Boss, what should we do about Lee Donghyeok?”
At Junseok’s words, Taebeom, who was looking over documents, lifted his head.
Donghyeok, who mainly stayed abroad, unlike other subordinates who knew of Yuwon’s existence, had no idea about Yuwon. But of all days, he had to run into Yuwon on the day he returned to Korea and caused an accident. Taebeom clicked his tongue and said,
“He should have reflected enough by now. Take him out and feed him.”
“Yes, I understand. By the way, is the sister-in-law alright? He seemed quite startled last time I saw him.”
Junseok spoke to Taebeom, tactfully arranging the way he addressed him. Taebeom’s eyes instantly softened, as if he didn’t dislike the title ‘sister-in-law’.
“A knife is too much. Maybe because he’s still a kid, he seems to be scared.”
Taebeom shook his head with a slight smile on his face. When he handed Yuwon a knife and saw him tremble and burst into tears, their first night together naturally came to mind.
He was quite nice clinging and sniffling then too. A smile naturally passed Taebeom’s lips as he recalled Yuwon that day.
“Boss?”
Junseok tilted his head as if puzzled by Taebeom lost in thought. It was the first time seeing him so absorbed in other thoughts. Taebeom seemed to have changed a bit lately, well. He had been pathologically immersed in work all this time, so it wasn’t bad to see him like this for a change.
“Ah, go ahead.”
“Then how about a gun? The F9-NP that came over from Russia this time seems nice.”
