A Kind Goblin’s Bird - Chapter 61

It was the first night he spent separately since he brought Young-young. While he was not happy that he had worried her, his heart tickled at the thought of Young-young, who had been waiting for him all night long. 

Now the warmth has finally returned. Her warmth, which could not be felt even with the anger, is felt as he embraces Young-young and looks at him.

“There was a bit of work. Haven’t you heard from the maids?”

“I heard.”

Young-young bit her lips. 

She heard them say that Sa Heon-yeong cannot come tonight because of busy work. The maid said so. When she asked what they meant by busy work, they said he was busy with work. 

But it was difficult for Young-young to believe those words.

It was right after he met her father. Then he suddenly gets busy. Besides, the man, didn’t he come yesterday? The man. The man who sneaked into the mountain where Young-young lives and tried to attack her.

“Young-ah? Wait, why are you doing this, Young-ah? Huh?”

Young-young started to ramble through Sa Heon-yeong’s clothes, and he was bewildered. 

Seduction, is it? From this morning? Were you so anxious? Sa Heon-yeong put Young-young in his arms and stepped back towards the bed. Then he glanced at the maids. Then the maids quickly withdrew from the bed.

“Did you miss me so much?”

The scent of flowers emanated from Young-young’s body. Sa Heon-yeong happily surrendered himself to Young-young’s hand and buried his nose in her hair. As he moved behind, he stroked her little ears, and the bed touched his legs. He fell holding her.

Lying on the soft bed, looking up at Young-young, she was taking off Sa Heon-yeong’s clothes with a very serious face. 

Is it necessary to have such a serious face to make him want her? It was when Sa Heon-yeong looked at her curiously. Young-young, who ripped through Sa Heon-yeong’s clothes and checked his bare skin, also checked Sa Heon-yeong’s arms, and took off his pants. 

Then, Sa Heon-yeong, who noticed that Young-young’s attitude was a bit strange, called her out, “Young-ah?”

Young-young shook her head as if not to listen. Why the hell are you doing this? Sa Heon-yeong endured the desire to speak with her, yet he obeyed her hand. When she wanted to take his pants off, he lifted his lower body and looked at her face. 

After seeing Sa Heon-yeong’s body, Young-young sighed.

“I thought something bad had happened.”

Young-young spoke to Sa Heon-yeong in a slightly stern tone.

“Bad thing…… What do you mean?”

He’s been the one doing it rather than having bad things happen to him. Because he went to destroy an entire family. Sa Heon-yeong didn’t know what Young-young was thinking, so he looked up at her and waited for her answer.

“My father is a scary person, and then that man came too.”

That man.

Sa Heon-yeong clearly remembered Young-young’s face saying, “That man.” Her face, obscured by fear, resembled that of a scream when she mistook his subordinate for someone else.

“I thought you must have been beaten or something.”

“Oh God. Beaten.”

“Father is a really scary person.”

Sa Heon-young thought of Song Geun-ryang for a moment. He greeted him like an insect that would die instantly if he gave me strength.

“I am also a scary person.”

“Lord Heon-young? It’s not even comparable. Father is really, really, really bad.”

Young-young said so and sat on top of Sa Heon-yeong. Haa, she sighed. It’s just a relieved face. 

It was then that Sa Heon-yeong realized what Young-young had been thinking all night.

“Were you worried?”

She must have been afraid all night that something might have gone wrong with Sa Heon-yeong. She couldn’t sleep because she was afraid of Song Geun-ryang doing something and she was sitting in a daze the whole time.

“If things goes wrong…….”

Young-young whispered. Sa Heon-young looked up blankly at the tears welling up in her big eyes. How pretty. It seemed to be making a squeaking noise. It was so pretty that he didn’t even want to wipe it off, and Young-young wiped her tears down.

“If something went wrong with Lord Heon-yeong, I thought about what to do. My mother told me not to die. But I, without Lord Heon-yeong, I…….”

Young-young spent all night thinking, what if something went wrong with Sa Heon-yeong. She recalled a life if something went wrong with Sa Heon-yeong. A life without him. That bitterness, that pain. An invisible hand gripped and crushed her heart.

What if her father or someone else really touches Sa Heon-yeong?

Going back to a life without Sa Heon-young?

The tears flowed.

Young-young held her hands together all night and prayed. Come back please. Please be safe, she wished. Please bring him back safely. If there is a price, she will pay it. She’ll do anything.

“I…….”

Young-young could not continue her words and closed her eyes sadly.

Hot tears fell on Sa Heon-young’s cheeks. She melted the cold walls and breathed heat into his body. Oh, was it cold? Sa Heon-young looked up at Young-young. His body, frozen in anger, melted in an instant.
