Chapter 52 - The truth [1]

"You are really suspicious," Sookyung voiced out while staring around the place.o0 The two of them were currently inside a café at the bottom floor of the hotel, where Jiwoo decided to stay at. The café appeared to be quite lavish, and tranquility surrounded the entire place.  At this time, only two of them were present. The soft smell of lavender and coffee wafted in the air, pleasing one's senses.  He then added, "Previously, you bȧrėly had any money, but now, it seems that you grown wealthy overnight. What did you do?" Hi "That's none of your business," she stated, "Now, state what all questions you have for me. Even though you did not protect those shopping bags of mine, I am still answering you due to how sweet I am." "Correction, you are the one who told me to throw them," he vocalised, "Why don't you start from the beginning? Who are those guys? Why are you tasked to protect me?" "Those guys are some wannabe vampires. They are exactly like vampires and have almost as same powers as them, but they don't sparkle or hates garlic. They are not sėnsɨtɨvė to sunlight either I think. So, basically, they belong to this Red Clan, and you are the prince of that clan.  Around ten days ago, I have received a mission to protect you," she voiced out, "That's how the things are. If you have any confusion, don't bother me about them, and your curiosity is none of your business." "Wannabe Vampires? Moon Jiwoo, are you actually insulting your kind? Those creatures called vampire were made to mock us," Minnie stated, "What's with that explanation in the first place? I would be surprised if he doesn't not call you a delusional fool after that." 'Shut up! If you are that great yourself, come and explain him yourself. This is none of my business in the first place.' The shock in his eyes could easily be deciphered by him, and creases appeared between both of his eyebrows. Both of his lips were pursed together while he stared down at the table, tapping his index finger on top of it. Pushing the chair back, Jiwoo stood up, and wearing a nonchalant expression, she said, "I am sleepy now, so follow me to the room. Remember, the only reason I am letting you stay at here because of protecting you. That's why, don't try to steal anything." Before she was able to walk away, Sookyung extended his hand to grip on to her wrist, and a force had pulled her back then, catching her by surprise. Raising one of her eyebrows at him, she stared at him and spoke out, "What's the meaning of this? Don't try to casually touch me like this. It makes me disgusted, especially from a coward who threw off a girl to the danger and ran away." With that, she pulled away her hand from him harshly and fiercely stared at him. Now that everything was settled, she found herself being enraged by his action of pushing her off to those man and regarded her as a 'scum' within her heart. Before he was able to open his mouth to say anything, she added, "I don't like to listen to scum's talk, and that's why, I might seriously injure you if you open your mouth." A seductive chuckle escaped from his mouth, and he brushed his tongue over his lower lip, causing it to glisten. He then vocalised, "I apologise for dumping you there. Seeing how you are so affected by this, could it be that you have some feelings for me? Since you're my bodyguard now, isn't it normal for you to shield me at the cost of your life? I thought that was normal." He shrugged his shoulder. Moon Jiwoo did not what part of his words was that stuck her nerves. However, being quite irritated, she took the initiative to connect her fist with his stomach. "This is the pay back for the hit I took for you then," she voiced out nonchalantly as he grabbed on to his stomach in pain. °°° After they had stepped into the hotel room, Jiwoo placed the card on top of the nearby table and looked around the hotel room. Although it was not much compared to the top hotels, the condition of this room was much better than the rooms she had been previously residing in, and that was enough to cause a wide smile to form on her face. Coughing, she instantly removed that joyful expression from face, and turning her head, she stared at Sookyung fiercely. "You can stay at the couch at here, and my room is off limits to you. Remember that," she voiced out, pointing her finger at him. Walking over to the couch, Sookyung fell back on it and leaned against the soft material of the couch. A grin appeared on his face. "That's cool with me," he said, "Since I am an attractive male, I hope you would not come to me at night and try to force to things. After all, you are stronger than me." "You Bastard! How dare you say such words? By the way, I am not interested in flower boy and two-faced type like yours. They disgust me," Jiwoo voiced out as she stomped off to her room. Staying in that room with Oh Sookyung was enough to drive her crazy, and she did not want to end up doing something crazy, knowing how weak her control over her anger was currently. Seeing her back enter into the room, a chuckle left Sookyung's mouth before a dark look settled into his eyes, and he placed his hand into his pocket to take out his phone once Jiwoo had entered into the room. His phone was vibrating due to an incoming call, and reading the name on top of the screen, he received the call. Wearing a smiling expression on his face, he cheerfully spoke out, "Hello! Chaeyoung Noona, what's the matter?" From the other side, Oh Chaeyoung nervously questioned, "How are you now, Sookyung-ah? Is everything fine?" "Noona, don't you think I deserve some answers from you now? I am pretty sure you know what I am talking about," he vocalised— switching to a serious tone. A sigh was heard from the other side of the phone, and Chaeyoung said, "That must have been difficult for you, Sookyung. Sorry for hiding everything from you, Sookyung-ah, but I wanted you to lead a peaceful life for as long as you could. But at this point, I don't think it's possible. I am sorry for everything. This is the last time I will be able to call you by your name I guess, Sookyung." Oh Sookyung clenched tightly on to the phone in his hand while he asked, "Are you free now?" "I am. It would be too dangerous for you to come at where I am. That's why, I will come over to where you are," she voiced out. "Alright," he replied. °°° As Moon Jiwoo fell back on the bed behind her, bliss engulfed her instantly, and she was reluctant to get off of the bed. Finally, she was able to rest upon somewhere soft after all those days of hard mattress. "Wow! This is amazing! Just as I have thought before; money is truly is the best thing out there. Only fools will say that money doesn't bring happiness," she voiced out as she rolled on the bed. All the worries had been driven out of her mind, and gradually, her eyelids began to become heavy. Letting out a yawn, she shut them and let the sleep consume her. After the events today, she was completely worn off, and she was desperate for a good night's sleep despite of there being a certain type of restlessness within her. Nonetheless, her dėsɨrė for sleep had blurred that. After she had completely fallen asleep, the door to the room was pushed open, and man had walked into room. Under the dim lights, Sookyung observed the girl sleeping on the bed, and a dry chuckle escaped from his mouth. Sookyung got closer to the bed and leaned down. Brushing off the hair from her head, his eyes moved down to stare at her neck. Moving his hand near to her neck, he softly touched it and voiced out, "My protector? What a joke?" Wrapping his hand around her neck, he applied pressure on it and added, "So vulnerable. It is too easy for me to finish you off." A groan was released from her mouth when he held on it tightly, and at that sound, he removed his hand off of her. "Since you seem to have your use now, I will not be finishing you off," he said, "You better change that naive and foolish side of yours. At this rate, it will end up with you dying fruitlessly." With a scoff, he turned his back on her and begab to leave the room.
