Chapter 31 - Train to Seoul [4]

'Like hell I am going to be acting politely to some damned thief! See how I straighten this thief up.'

Letting out a sigh, Minnie voiced out, "Is that something you should be saying in the first place?"

"Little Girl, you are idiotic, but you have a sharp tongue," he said, moving his face away from her and leaning back against his seat.

"You are in no place to say that, Thief," she voiced out.

Afraid that other people will be hearing her words, he forced out a smile on his face and vocalised, "Can you stop calling me a thief? We can forget about our past offences and both go on the different ways."

Shaking her head, Jiwoo answered, "No, that can't happen. Because of you, I am going to Seoul, and how do you expect me to live there without any support? It is your fault for taking me to Seoul. What if a beautiful girl like me gets kidnapped and murdered?"

"You are the one who dragged me to the train in first place, and that's why, that is not an excuse. You should have thought properly before entering into the train, Idiot," he said.

"Yah! You thief, stop calling me an idiot! Do you actually think I entered into the train because I liked it? When I saw the train closing, I merely acted on impulse and pulled you into it. You can't blame me for it."

"Are you naive or pretending to be a fool!? Why are you sticking to someone who tried to steal from you? I might even try to sell your body!" he stated.

"Oh! So, you admit that you have stolen from me?" she questioned.

"That's not the point here, Little Girl. Just buy a ticket from Seoul and go back home."

"I can't do that. That Ugly Stepmother of mine will be torturing me if I return back. She and those daughters of hers were always envious of my remarkable beauty, and it took me a great effort to escape from there. Since we are in Seoul, you will be taking responsibility for me," she said.

Folding his arms across his ċhėst, his lips curved to form a smirk as he vocalised, "Oh! That's interesting. What will I get if I agree to take responsibility for you? After all, I don't do deals with disadvantages for me."

"I will be protecting your weak self of course," she voiced out, "In exchange of protecting your life from all type of dangers, isn't it a fair deal?"

An arrogance showed in Jiwoo's eyes while she leaned back against the material of the seat and crossed her legs.

Letting out a chuckle, he voiced out, "I have no time to deal with your weird shenanigans. You have already cost me a loss today, and I have to make up for it."

"What are you going to do now? Pick pocket people at this train now?" she raised one of her eyebrows.

Before he could say anything, she added, "I will seriously protect you if you take me in. Trust me."
