Side Story Chapter 29: Rose Time (5)
“Of course not.” Kang-Woo looked at Yeon-Joo in exasperation. “I’m done now.”
“Huh?”
“I won’t be getting any more than this,” he said firmly.
Yeon-Joo asked in puzzlement, “A-Are you sure you’re okay with that? You have that princess from the other world and… Halcyon, was it? They’re head over heels for you.”
“I don’t know about that. I’d say it’s closer to dependence than affection with them. Besides, I’m not obligated to accept their feelings just because they’re in love with me, am I?”
He wasn’t some automatic door that allowed anyone in.
“Darling’s approval aside, I don’t want to be with a woman I don’t have feelings for.”
Having many lovers wasn’t necessarily a good thing; Kang-Woo was far happier spending time with his Darling than wasting time with women he barely had any interest in.“I-Is that so…?”
Yeon-Joo was relieved after finding out what she feared would not happen but she then flinched.
‘Wait a second.’
Kang-Woo had just said he did not want to be with women he had no feelings for, but also said he would accept her with Seol-Ah’s approval.
‘That means…’
Albeit not as much as his feelings for Seol-Ah, Kang-Woo also had feelings for Yeon-Joo.
“U-Urghhh!”
Yeon-Joo’s face reddened again as she clenched her fists. Instead of being happy that Kang-Woo had feelings for her, she was more angry with herself for being so happy despite being under Seol-Ah. It was like being happy with second or third place in a race where only first place mattered.
“Y-You son of a bitch! Scumbag!”
“Ow! Wh-What’s up with you this time?!”
Bash! Bash!
Yeon-Joo took her rage, fueled by her unbearable sense of shame, out on Kang-Woo.
‘You could at least say I’m your number one when we’re alone together!’
She had no idea why her feelings for him did not waver despite feeling such a miserable sense of loss.
“You put me under some sort of perverted hypnosis, didn’t you?! Huh? That’s the only way this can be explained!!” shouted Yeon-Joo sorrowfully.
Kang-Woo, getting barraged by endless punches, screamed, “S-Say no to domestic violence!”
“We’re not married yet!”
“Then say fucking no to just violence!”
Yeon-Joo exerted violence to a point that one wouldn’t think she had made a tear-jerking love confession earlier.
Thud.
Just then, a rectangular box fell out from Yeon-Joo’s pocket and hit Kang-Woo’s head.
“Kurgh, the hell is this…?”
He picked up the box to look at it.
‘This is…’
Kang-Woo had never used it because he could control the properties of his bodily fluids using demonic energy, but it was a product mainly used for contraceptive purposes.
‘Why does Yeon-Joo have something like this?’
Kang-Woo looked up in confusion.
“H-Huh?”
Yeon-Joo’s face turned deathly pale.
“...”
At that moment, Kang-Woo could instinctively tell; his body became certain of it before his mind could understand.
‘Oh… I can tease her with this! First, let’s turn on the video. Precious memories should always be recorded.’
“What’s this…?” Kang-Woo asked.
“I-It’s not mine!!”
“It fell out of your pocket., didn’t it?”
“I-I mean, yes, b-b-b-b-b-but…! R-Right! You know Eun-Bi, right?”
“Nope.”
“Y-You don’t? Huh? Anyway, she’s a bit of a cheeky rookie in my guild! Sh-She… well, u-umm… Ah!”
‘Right then, let’s see how she tries to get out of this.’
“She’s just so h-horny!!” Yeon-Joo shouted.
“...?”
‘I didn’t fucking expect this kind of response.’
“I mean, she’s so immoral! She tried to do th-that thing in the guild building, so I confiscated it!!”
‘Eun-Bi, are you sure you’re fine being in a guild where the master is this kind of person? Are you doing well?’
“...” Kang-Woo remained silent.
“I-It’s true!!”
“Really? Then let me call Eun-Bi to check with her.”
“Huh? Y-You just said you didn’t know who that was…”
“Oh, that? I lied.”
“W-WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIT!!” Yeon-Joo pounced at Kang-Woo but he lightly stepped to the side to dodge. “K-Kang-Woo. Hear me out…”
Kang-Woo opened the box in front of the trembling Yeon-Joo. There were silver wrappers inside it.
“Huuuuuh~? What are these, Yeon-Joo noona?” he asked with a wide smile, waving the silver wrapper.
Yeon-Joo’s expression hardened like a prophet who foresaw the end of the world.
“Wh-What’s up with the noona?” She trembled as she reached for the silver wrapper. “Hand that over this instant!”
“If you want it, you’ll have to tell me what it is, Yeon-Joo noona~”
“S-Stop calling me noona!”
Kang-Woo touched the silver wrapper, his eyes shining innocently as he dodged Yeon-Joo’s hands.
“There’s something circular inside. Could it be a balloon?”
“D-Don’t.”
“Shall I unwrap it~?”
“Oh Kang-Woo, you son of a bitch!! Don’t!!”
Kang-Woo opened the wrapper as he turned away from the screaming Yeon-Joo.
“Ah, I knew it was a balloon!”
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaah!!”
Yeon-Joo’s screams echoed throughout the surroundings.
‘Aaaahh.’ Kang-Woo relished in the sparks of ecstasy traveling throughout his body. ‘Fucking yes. This is it! This is what I live for!! It’s so fucking fun! This is the most entertaining shit in the world!’
“I-It’s not mone… It’s not mine…”
“Really? Then I can have it, right, noona?”
“What…?”
Kang-Woo took out the rubber balloon from the wrapper in front of Yeon-Joo and remarked, “Lemme blow it up~”
He blew into the balloon as an innocent child would.
“KYAAAAAAAAAHH!! YOU CRAZY SON OF A BITCH!! WH-WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!” Yeon-Joo screamed in shock.
Her embarrassment gauge exploded and she fell to the ground, left with no strength to even charge at Kang-Woo.
“Hurgh…” Tears welled up around her eyes. “Y-You… Sniff! Scumbag…”
Her sorrowful weeps echoed.
“Pfft! Bwehehehehehe!!!” Kang-Woo rolled on the floor laughing after successfully making Yeon-Joo cry. “Ahh, this is what it feels like to be alive…”
‘Yeah. I should do my best to persuade Darling. I don’t think I can live without Yeon-Joo anymore.’
“...”
Yeon-Joo’s expression crumpled drastically. Chilling aura as white as frost, unbefitting of her fiery red hair, surrounded her.
Clatter.
The thorny chains moved as if they were alive.
“I’ll… kill you.”
Yeon-Joo stared at Kang-Woo lifelessly. A voice as deathly as what would come from an Undead risen by a necromancer echoed throughout the streets.
“I’ll kill you. I’ll kill you. I’ll kill you. I’ll kill you. I’ll kill you. I’ll kill you. I’ll kill you. I’ll kill you. I’ll kill you. I’ll kill you. I’ll kill you. I’ll kill you. I’ll kill you. I’ll kill you. I’ll kill you.”
Creak, creak.
She moved her limbs awkwardly like a machine. Kang-Woo could tell he was fucked from seeing that Yeon-Joo had lost her sense of reason.
“U-Umm… Yeon-Joo noona?”
“I’ll kill you, no matter what. I’ll tear you apart limb by limb and shove them into every single one of your orifices.”
“Holy shit.”
‘How could you say something so atrocious so easily?’
“Red Lotus, Eighth Form—”
Clatter—!!
The countless chains laid out on the ground fiercely gathered. Within the storm of red chains, Yeon-Joo muttered, “Red Lotus Kaleidoscope.”
Rumble—!!!
The storm of chains raged toward Kang-Woo.
“Mm.” Kang-Woo nodded as he stared at the storm of chains charging at him. “Looks like I have no choice.”
‘Let’s fucking run.’
