Chapter 6

Chapter 6

My eyes were tightly shut.

Uh go ahead and read it

Eun-ahs nagging voice hit my ear.

I-Im sure youll like it

Her slow, faltering tone broke off intermittently. Her trembling voice and the way she spoke, which I had found irritating until then, suddenly became daunting.

My eyes twitched and widened in fear.

My survival instinct screamed at me to listen to her words.

The world came into focus as I stared at the page in front of me. The black letters on the white paper seemed to dance before my eyes.

Yes, they were dancing.

The letters writhed and twisted, hiding their true forms. I furrowed my brow, but the dancing letters refused to reveal their true selves.

At that moment, I realized why I couldnt distinguish the letters.

ah

Tears were streaming down my face.

My eyes burned hot. The warmth of the tears that slowly flowed down my cheeks left a trail of burns on my skin.

Uh, uh

Eun-ahs surprised voice was heard.

Why why are you crying

Swoop.

Her hand came down on my face. Her cold touch wiped away the tears and moisture on my tear-stained eyes and cheeks, cooling the heat that had risen from it.

Cha, youre so kind~ Ah~!

The fingertips grazed my face, unsteady and erratic. The jagged nails and calloused fingertips, perhaps marred with wounds, only heightened the discomfort as they trailed over my skin.

As I shivered from the chill, my eyes lowered toward the ground.

OohDont dont cry

Moist moisture was swept away by her fingers.

Kuu When Mr. bee cries, I Im so sad too

Eun-ahs voice quavered with emotion and her eyes glistened with tears.

As if imitating my own emotions, she was filled with tears.

My gaze fell even lower, and after a while, my gaze, which had fallen, was directed to Eun-ahs wrist, which was slightly lower than the palm of my hand, and revealed as her collar rolled down.

My eyes widened when I saw her exposed wrist, and my mind, which had been shaken by fear until then, was awakened in an instant.

Flash!

A shrill cry erupted from my throat.

Its okay! Its okay!

Huh?

Tears welled up in my eyes.

Im sorry, Im so sorry

yes?

My mouth opened involuntarily and the words poured out.

Manuscript! I should read the manuscript! yes, lets read it now!

Yes? Hehe. yes

As if my sudden change of attitude wasnt suspicious, Eun-ahs cry from before disappeared in an instant.

Here Ill hold it, so please tell me when youre done reading it?

The manuscript was pushed in front of my eyes, but I couldnt focus on it.

I remembered what I had just seen.Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

A wound a wound made by a knife.

There were clear signs of self-harm on Eun-ahs wrist. At the top of the wound, a red scar that had not yet healed, probably a relatively recent one, was engraved.

The moment I saw the signs of self-harm, my mind went cold, and my rationality screamed at me that I could no longer show any more tears.

Above all the fear I had experienced until then, my survival instinct rose up and awakened my mind.

I felt the wound running down her wrist as a warning to me, You never know when Ill change and hurt you.

Gulp.

Dry saliva went down my throat.

My head was filled with the thought that I had to obey her. Although I was not able to read the words on the paper, I scanned the paper, rolling my eyes to and fro, thinking that I should make her feel that I was reading the manuscript.

What?

Anxiety crept over me as to what other monstrous things this woman would do. As I looked at her with my eyes full of anxiety, she suppressed her laughter and said to me.

So Can you read it out loud?

Yes?

Did I hear that wrong?

I so I know I know what you are reading so please read it out loud!

F*ck

Suddenly, it felt like a reading session. I looked at her. Her eyes were sparkling with anticipation. If I refused, those eyes will suddenly change and shine with madness as if she never laughed.

I couldnt help it. There was no option to refuse.

I felt a sense of exhaustion all over my body because I had no choice but to follow. My head creaked and moved up and down.

Yes

Hehe

A satisfied laugh escaped from her lips. I looked at the manuscript.

First page. I guess Ill have to read it again from there.

Eventually, my hesitant mouth opened.

It was a giant bug the size of a building

*****

Eun-ah watched Dokyun as he read the text out loud. His eyes were almond-shaped without double eyelids, his nose had a smooth line and was slightly raised, and his lips moved slightly as he read the text.

Chae good

His face had sharp features. At first glance, his face looked fierce, but Eun-ah knew his warm personality was different from his imposing appearance. His fierce-looking eyes would soften as he read her writing. A smile would curl up on his lips, and he would say warm words just for her.

It was extremely satisfying.

When she first went to see him, she hid under the bed and watched him, feeling breathless with tension. She thought he would have a gentle smile, but his appearance was scary. However, at that moment, she remembered the warm words he had written toward her, and she was no longer afraid of that ferocious face.

Hera, I have to save people.

A low voice as he read the lines permeated her heart like a ringing sound.

-Thumb Thumb

-Thumb Thumb

Her heart was beating fast.

Ah what if he hears it?

Her face turned red with embarrassment.

Wasnt saving him the best decision of her life? She felt a sense of pride and self-confidence.

It was so good

She would never let him go. If they were together, the rest of their lives would be filled with complete satisfaction. And they will be together for a lifetime.

They still didnt know each other very well, maybe because it was their first meeting, and they made mistakes, but she could teach him slowly and help him make fewer mistakes.

Eh Well, no one is perfect from the start.

She felt like he had been contaminated by bugs for too long. She needed to save him and make him to come to his senses quickly.

Eun-ah looked at him, trembling with a feeling of extreme satisfaction and fulfillment.

-They Ran away.

At that moment, she saw a part of the text that he had skipped over and not read.

Pinching his side lightly, she gave him a signal. Dokyuns gaze turned to her. His pupils were shaking, and his lips had a strange shape. He seemed to not know what he had done wrong.

Ah! he missed it because he was nervous!

It seemed that he was nervous at first sight as he gurgled his saliva. He seemed to be a very shy person.

Cute

Eun-ah thought so and said to him with a smile.

H Here! You didnt read it, and you skipped it!

Here This part?

yes!

The scream of the queen bug. It was the part where she wrote down the queens angry shout as she watched the protagonist and their companions running away from her.

Oh, I see

The corners of his mouth seemed to twitch. Soon, he started reading the part.

Kee Kkieeck~! Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

Hehe

It was excellent.
