“He must have been after my life.”
…What did I just hear?
“Lowerlevel demons find it more challenging to suppress their hunger than to break the taboo.”
“……”
“Because that was his true nature.”
Goosebumps spread all over my body at the slowly descending voice.
In a situation where Kang could not control even a finger at will, she had to feel as if she was being crushed by scissors with her eyes open.
He stood straight with her stiffened in front of him.
The distance that seemed almost reachable became farther, and Kang, whose eyes were shaking in surprise and confusion, quietly looked down.
I knew this would happen.
It was better for us to be ignorant of each other.
After making his judgment, he decided to sort out the situation here.
“Is this enough?”
Where the lingering smile had left, there was only a cold shadow.
She blinked her eyes, still not fully understanding the situation.
“…What do you mean?”
“The answer was predetermined from the start, all I had to do was tell a plausible one.”
It was then she understood.
“You still seem very sick, how about taking a rest?”
“……”
“And get some proper treatment while resting.”
That he was treating her as a mad person.
So what she just said meant she was just talking nonsense to match the rhythm of a mad person.
Of course, the catch was that it was too specific for such a thing, but she probably wouldn’t care.
Just by looking at the bystanders who were swept away by the nonsensical story, she seemed to know how he would handle this situation.
And at the same time, she realized.
No matter what the secret was, he was trying very hard to hide it and not reveal it.
This is how it comes out, right?
She quickly got over the confusion that shook her heart and regained her composure.
“If you’re thinking of holding back now, quit.”
Standing at the edge of the cliff wouldn’t be just about her.
Because he must have had something he wanted and approached.
“I’m very sure you’re not a normal human.”
At her words, he slowly lifted his lowered eyelids and matched her gaze again.
“If I’m not a human?”
A laugh like the wind dispersed between his red lips.
“What do I look like in your eyes?”
A gentle smile was drawn, but in fact, it was close to a threat.
A sort of warning not to ask anything further or learn anything more.
But such a threat was no longer effective.
Her hand, clutching his black tie that was trying to get away, quickly pulled it and narrowed the distance between the two.
At a dangerously close distance where their noses might touch, Kang opened her eyes sharply and spoke.
“Why. Are you scared?”
“……”
“Do you think I would reveal your identity?”
Her gaze, looking at him from close by, was steady.
As if asking when did he get scared.
Looking at Kang like that, San placed his hand over her white back of hand.
Then, he clenched it as if to reassure her.
“There’s only one thing I’m afraid of.”
“……”
“Not being able to protect you.”
The sharp gaze of the two meeting each other did not retreat by even an inch.
The flow of the air that was heavily increasing in density dispersed back to its original place as Sam Young, who had left his seat, returned.
((())) ((())) ((()))
“My goodness! It’s been so long!”
The director, who was in charge of Kang’s makeup, welcomed her warmly.
“Director, have you been well?”
“I’ve been fine. Are you okay now?”
“Yes, I’m okay.”
As she stroked the pale white face of the girl, the director clicked her tongue as if feeling sorry.
“Ah, how scared you must have been. Why are there so many crazy people? Anyway, such a person should be properly punished.”
The director who had been ranting noticed San belatedly and opened her eyes wide.
Without realizing it, she let out an ‘oh my.’ and quickly approached and whispered.
“Who is the handsome guy standing behind you?”
“Oh, he’s a bodyguard.”
“A bodyguard? Really? I thought he was a newcomer. He’s so handsome.”
The director couldn’t help her curious gaze, wondering why he didn’t become a celebrity with such good looks.
“Director, stop showing your affection and get to work. Otherwise, we will be late on the first day of her return.”
Sam Young, who was by her side, appropriately blocked her interest.
“Oh my, I need to focus! Sorry, sorry. Has the manager been well?”
“Thanks to you.”
“Oh ho ho.”
“Ha ha ha.”
Responding mechanically to her soulless smile and the stark temperature difference when looking at San.
The director soon introduced a designer she was meeting for the first time.
“Oh, this is our new hairdresser.”
She greeted.
“Hello, I’m Ji Eun.”
A woman with a short cut in red orange tones and purple lip color left a strong impression.
“Hello.”
“You’re much more beautiful in person. I’m a real fan.”
“Oh, thank you.”
The friendly Ji Eun politely greeted and then led Kang.
“I will wash your hair first. Would you come up to the second floor?”
At Ji Eun’s offer to shampoo her hair personally, the director who was nearby intervened.
“Try Ji Eun’s scalp massage once. She has learned some amazing techniques, her hands are just magic.”
