<Episode 72> Stop flirting with other dudes’ ladies.
“Uh, Young-hee. Can you maybe give me some space?”
“Ah, I’m sorry but… I feel safer this way…”
“Hmm, no need to apologize.”
Young-hee says she’s checked and there’s nothing wrong with her body.
Because of that, we were able to quickly finish the discharge procedures.
However, there’s still an issue with her mental state.
Specifically, memory loss and dependence on Yu-jin.
These two factors make daily life nearly impossible for her.
‘She gets scared and shakes uncontrollably whenever I’m not around.’
Honestly, it’s a hard situation to grasp.
Why on earth does she have fragmented memories of me and feels at ease around me?
‘Did Rime stopping Young-hee’s burst influence her somehow?’
Though I’m a bit uneasy about Chul-soo’s situation…
I can’t just leave Young-hee in this state either.
In the end, after much deliberation, Yu-jin decided to temporarily take care of her here.
“Um, where are we going right now?”
“To my place. Are you feeling anxious maybe?”
“No, it’s fine. As long as Yu-jin is with me, I don’t care where we go.”
Saying that, Young-hee firmly clings to his arm.
Even though I thought I’d gotten used to it by now…
Apparently, having a beautiful woman like Young-hee cling to me still makes me tense without realizing it.
‘Snap out of it, Yu-jin! She’s a patient! That’s inappropriate!’
Anyway, I’ll be spending a few days with Young-hee.
If I entertain any impure thoughts, I won’t be able to face Chul-soo.
Thankfully, Hwagcheon’s mansion is unnecessarily spacious.
There’s plenty of room for Young-hee to stay.
Though I’m not sure if this “clingy” arrangement will actually work…
“Hmm?”
Looking ahead, Biseo Park is smiling warmly.
It’s quite rare, so Yu-jin involuntarily tilts his head in confusion.
“Did something good happen?”
“No sir. It just reminded me of my youth.”
Why would he suddenly remember his youth?
Was he popular with the ladies back then?
Well, Park has great skills, good looks, and a nice personality.
He was probably a social butterfly in school.
Damn, I need a stake!
‘But Park still looks young… What period is he talking about?’
Unaware that Park is recalling the vengeful Chul-soo, Yu-jin couldn’t help but think this.
“I’ve already informed everyone that Young-hee will be staying. The mansion staff will handle everything accordingly.”
“Thanks.”
Come to think of it, this is the first time I’ve brought a girl home.
Not only that, but we’ll be sleeping and living together…
Honestly, without the Hwagcheon background, this would be tough for an average guy.
Romantic comedy development?
There’s none of that in reality.
We’re lucky if our friendship survives.
Thinking about these things, we arrived at the mansion.
Opening the door, the staff greeted us as usual.
“Welcome back, young master!”
I’ve gotten used to this lifestyle by now,
but honestly, this greeting is still overwhelming.
Having dozens of people greet me every time I come home is kind of…
Especially since they bow deeply from the waist.
“Geez…”
It seems this is also terrifying for Young-hee right now.
She was already clinging to me,
and now she’s trying to hide even further behind me.
Seeing this, a thought struck Yu-jin as he was about to tell her it’s okay.
Hey, this could be an opportunity!
“Park.”
“Yes?”
“Young-hee finds this scary, so let’s suspend these greetings for a while.”
“Ah! Understood!”
Nice.
Until now, it was hard to decline their carefully prepared greetings.
But using the patient excuse allows us to avoid hurting feelings.
Yu-jin admired his clever thinking that rivaled his own intelligence.
Then, suddenly, Young-hee slightly bowed her head toward him.
“Um, thank you…”
“Huh? For what?”
“For caring about me…”
Oh man, didn’t expect her to misunderstand it like this.
The old Yu-jin might have just let it slide.
But now, knowing from experience that leaving it like this could lead to awkward situations later…
“…”
“…”
“…”
Yu-jin firmly shook his head.
“I didn’t do it for you, but for myself. No need to worry about it.”
“Yes…”
Young-hee lowered her head, seemingly hiding something.
Hmm, good.
Indeed, humans are growing creatures.
This way, I’ve preemptively prevented future nuisances.
Feeling satisfied, Yu-jin entered the mansion.
“We’ve prepared Miss Young-hee’s room next to yours.”
“…Why are you calling her ‘young lady’?”
“Just in case.”
What on earth for?
Hey, stop making that ‘you know everything but why?’ face.
I value friendship more than one-night stands!
Besides, as an average loner, I don’t have the guts for that kind of thing.
“Anyway, we’ve also prepared clothes for changing into. Take a shower and change first.”
“Are there clothes to change into?”
“The staff prepared uniforms in your size. We’ll buy proper necessities tomorrow.”
I didn’t ask how they knew Young-hee’s size.
Since Mr. Park is extremely competent,
he probably prepared them in various sizes.
That must be it… right?
Please let me believe he didn’t do any background checks.
“In that case, I’ll inform you when dinner is ready.”
With that, Park left.
Yu-jin then entered Young-hee’s room together.
Anyone would feel uneasy being alone in a new place.
Especially Young-hee in her current state.
“Uh, you can stay here for now. Feel free to use anything. Uh… If you need anything, you can come to my room anytime.”
“Okay…”
Hmm, what else does a girl need?
The only female I’ve ever had a proper conversation with is Rime.
“Anyway, let’s follow Park’s advice: take a shower and eat first.”
If you need anything, I’ll bring it over.
Most basic needs can be handled by the staff.
After all, Young-hee will only be staying until her memories return.
We can adjust as we go along.
Realizing once again how convenient my life is,
Yu-jin nodded.
“Alright, let’s head to the bathroom. It’s this way.”
The bathroom in Yu-jin’s house was beautifully designed.
At first glance, it seemed like a normal but slightly larger bathroom.
However, when Yu-jin mentioned how nice hotel bathrooms were and wanted to use them again,
they immediately renovated it.
I thought it was for the staff since it was so large and luxurious.
Turns out there’s a separate staff bathroom.
Why did they make my personal bathroom so huge?
Rich people’s logic is beyond me.
Anyway, Yu-jin handed over a towel and said,
“Go ahead and shower. I’ll leave some clothes for you to change into.”
“Um, excuse me…”
Young-hee fidgeted and glanced at Yu-jin nervously.
She seemed to have something to say.
Giving her a moment, Young-hee cautiously spoke up.
“Can you… shower with me?”
Huh?
Yu-jin blinked in confusion.
Wait, what exactly did she mean?
“Young-hee, that’s…”
“Aaah! Not like that!”
Realizing her mistake, Young-hee flailed her arms.
“I-I get nervous entering alone… If you just stand far away and watch…”
What kind of strange request is that?
That’s not even the issue here.
Is showing your bare skin really okay?
“Hmm, you must be pretty anxious right now.”
Considering her current mental state,
combined with being in an unfamiliar environment,
she must be very scared.
It’s natural for her to act clingy toward the only person she can rely on.
Let’s consider this as a caregiver-patient relationship.
Nurses don’t get excited seeing patients’ bodies when giving injections, right?
It’s the same concept.
“……Alright, let’s do it that way.”
-What the hell, dude!!
Suddenly, a voice rang out.
A beautiful voice accompanied by a miniature girl appearing from Yu-jin’s pocket.
None other than Rime.
She angrily pointed at Yu-jin.
“Putting up with so much already, but this is taking it too far! Are you insane? Planning to enter the bathroom together now? Are you newlyweds or something?”
Caught off guard, Yu-jin couldn’t respond.
After all, this was the first time Rime appeared in front of someone else.
Rime’s identity as a monster needed to remain secret,
even Park doesn’t know about it.
Yu-jin looked at Young-hee.
As expected, her eyes were wide with shock.
“Yu-jin… Do you have a daughter?”
“No way!”
Very rarely, Yu-jin snapped at someone else.
*Pfft*
Blood splattered.
The man coldly observed the sword he had swung as he continued walking forward.
Though his expression remained neutral,
there was a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.
Perhaps marveling at how good this new sword felt.
How could all his subordinates fall to such a young brat?
The scene before him was almost unbelievable.
“Ugh!”
A Hwagcheon executive, having dropped his sword, pressed his hand against his wound and retreated.
Who would have thought such a monster would appear suddenly?
He should have taken action sooner.
Trusting that guy completely led to this failure.
“Are you… one of Kim Yu-jin’s lackeys?”
“I don’t recall becoming his subordinate.”
The man kept approaching slowly.
His face showed no mercy whatsoever.
“But it’s true that I wouldn’t have made it this far without that guy’s help.”
“What?”
“Honestly, I’m surprised. I expected to feel some guilt when killing people.
Maybe because you’re all trash, I didn’t feel a thing.”
The targets before him were involved in severe crimes even within Hwagcheon.
Thus, disposing of them without any qualms was possible.
Since it’s an internal matter of Hwagcheon, there’s no need to report to the police either.
In a way, they were perfect opponents.
“Shit! What’s your purpose? Money? If that’s it…”
“Protect.”
The man spoke monotonously.
Upon hearing that word, the Hwagcheon executive’s face froze.
“Where is he.”
“W-Wait! We don’t know much about him either! He’s so unpredictable…”
“In that case, you’re no longer necessary.”
The man’s sword slashed horizontally.
Soon, he was the only one remaining at the scene.
“Hmph.”
Chul-soo sighed deeply after removing his hood.
He marked a spot on the map.
Though he hasn’t found him yet,
he’s successfully narrowing the包围 net.
Interestingly, it seems the target is in the city.
According to Park, this “Protector” is obsessed with Kim Yu-jin.
Could he deliberately be staying near Kim Yu-jin?
They might even meet halfway.
‘First, I’ll kill him.’
And then? What’s your plan after that?
Don’t know.
Right now, only the single-minded desire for revenge drives Chul-soo forward.
Eventually, his sword and doll vanished into the darkness.
