The Male Lead’s Boyfriend is Obsessed With Me

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Chapter 12

The lips were hot as if they were burning. The heat that gently swallowed my breath made my head go blank in an instant as a large hand swept down my cheek and grabbed me by the waist, and pressed on me.

And, at the moment when my eyes were still tightly closed, and I couldn’t lift a single finger…

“Without realizing it I came here when my young brother was busy like this.”

A mocking voice cooled the heat. Yu-gyeom slowly moved away from me, and when I opened my tightly closed eyes, his face was full in front of me.

A dark heat remained like a shadow in the light-colored eyes that glanced down at me. Nonetheless, it was so brief that I thought I had seen it wrong.

A light smile that burst out immediately masked his expression.

“What can I do? If you had contacted me in advance, I would have been prepared.”

Yu-gyeom grinned and rubbed my lipstick off his lips with the back of his hand.

Far from wiping away the smeared lipstick marks, it spread more widely. It was enough to make it look as if we were really doing something, with the lipstick marks and his bare upper body added to his unique languid atmosphere.

I didn’t know exactly what it was, but it was clear that the kiss was meant to avoid a crisis. But, every time I thought of him climbing on my body, I couldn’t help but feel my face heat up.

“Some say you can’t fool your own blood.”

“….”

“So, what do you think, little brother?*

Yu-gyeom reacted nervously at Yuhwa’s openly sarcastic remarks without any sign of wanting to hide it, although his face was still smiling without the slightest agitation.

“I don’t know. When I see older sister and father, I think of that.”

Did the shrimp caught in the whale fight feel like this, too?
[ T/N: this is an idiom used to describe when small/weak people are caught up in between powerful/stronger people]

Even though it was full of smiles and sneers, it felt like I was watching a blood fight.

At Yu-gyeom’s words, Yu-Hwa’s forehead narrowed wildly, and Yu-gyeom smiled broadly and tilted his head toward me.

“You don’t seem to have anything to say, so should I continue with what I was doing? I don’t care if you stay there.”

‘What? No!’

I spoke with my eyes, unable to open my mouth. Still, Yu-gyeom still looked down at me with an overly sexy look. Then, he reached out his hand and began to unbutton the shirt that was supposed to belong to Yu-gyeom.

It seemed that the slow movements were slowly taking my breath away.

“Pffft… Ha, ha, ha!”

When Yu-gyeom’s fingertip touched the third button, Yu-Hwa suddenly started laughing like a madman.

“Cough—Hahahaha!! I guess low blood thinks differently.”

Blatant mockery. I already knew the treatment Yu-gyeom received from Utopia, but seeing it in person was different from reading it through text. I was confused as to whether the pounding in my chest was due to disgust or pity.

Yu-gyeom’s face, which didn’t change even a little as if he was familiar with this much, made me want to cry even more. Yu-Hwa burst out laughing and left the room, and then he slowly came down from me without a word, although he did say, ‘Ah.’

Anyway, I was still surprised by the unexpected situation, and my heart still couldn’t calm down, so I pretended to be composed and got up.

“This… this… You’re crazy!”

Lee Chan, who had been frozen with a pale face the whole time, shouted what I wanted to say to Yu-gyeom. Though he pretended not to hear and asked while putting on a shirt, not paying any attention.

“Father is calling me?”

“Huh? Oh, right!”

“You take good care of the princess here.”

“What?!”

Lee Chan shouted with a face full of dissatisfaction, but Yu-gyeom did not respond. He glared at Yu-gyeom with all his might, puffing up his cheeks like a blowfish. Even so, he was way below Yu-gyeom in terms of rank and other things.

The moment when Yu-gyeom, who finished the buttons to the end and wore a black jacket, turned around.

“….!”

Our eyes met, and I unknowingly covered my mouth with my hand.

Crazy…

Why are you covering your mouth?

There was a small smile in his languid eyes looking at me. I was madly resentful of the instinctively reaching hand. Yu-gyeom, who walked in front of me, drew a dizzyingly beautiful smile.

“By the way…”

When he lowered his gaze and tilted his head, a murky voice scattered in my ear.

“Wasn’t that your first kiss, right?”

My face heated up again at the sound of a shallow laugh that followed.

“Lee Chan.”

“….”

“Hey, Lee Chan. Why are you ignoring me?”

I spoke in a dying voice to Lee Chan, who was lying on the sofa, wearing glasses and looking at the documents. He completely turned away from me to the point that I thought he couldn’t hear me, but I clearly saw it.

Lee Chan’s legs were shaking with patience that was gradually running out.

“I can see you shake your legs when you’re annoyed.”

“Ah! What! What! What the f*ck you want…!”

In the end, Lee Chan, who exploded, ruffled his poodle-like hair and stood up.

“Aren’t you too comfortable with the fact of being a hostage?”

“Yeah, it’s so comfortable. Don’t we feel like long-time friends?”

At my answer, Lee Chan burst out into a fake laugh as if he was stunned. Although he was only a character in the book, I felt really familiar with him, perhaps because I had seen him several times.

Perhaps, it was because he’s on Yu-gyeom’s side in the book, so it was a character I liked, or maybe it was because of his personality that didn’t feel like a stone wall. It shouldn’t be like this, but for me, Lee Chan had become more and more comfortable at the current level.

“But, where did Yu-gyeom go…?”

“Ahhh! I have already said that more than twenty times, haven’t I? Just do it one more time. I dare you.”

…It was the 26th, to be exact.

Though Lee Chan screamed, distorting his face, I didn’t feel any sense of crisis at all. After facing Baek Hawon, Lee Chan was just like a ferocious cat.

“So, where did Yu-gyeom go?”

It’s already been three days. It’s been a while since I saw Yu-gyeom.

And with my bias…

“By the way… Wasn’t that your first kiss, right?”

‘No, it wasn’t!’

The eyes that gazed at me, the heat that was hot enough to melt my lips, and the cold feeling that brushed my cheeks…

In front of Yu-gyeom, I shouted as if nothing had happened. Although after that, I was on the verge of going crazy with the face that popped up in my mind. However, Yu-gyeom left me with Lee Chan and didn’t come to visit again.

‘Can you kidnap me and leave me alone like this?’

Thanks to Lee Chan, who never left me even for a moment, I was living my life as a hostage without even taking one step out of Yu-gyeom’s room. To say that I was a hostage was, in fact, a little vague…

“Hey, Lee Chan. I want to eat chicken.”

If I said that I wanted to eat something, it was delivered to me within thirty minutes.

“Hey, Lee Chan. I’m bored.”

I could read magazines full of amazingly handsome men to the point of tiredness. It was a pretty peaceful life for a hostage to the extent that I was almost enjoying my life as a hostage.

Nonetheless, I had a big-time bomb. On the last day of the construction festival, Cha Yeonbyeol was doomed to die at the hands of Yu-gyeom.

My plan to win Yu-gyeom’s heart to change that fate so that he wouldn’t kill me couldn’t even start since I couldn’t meet him, not even by chance. In the meantime, time was passing quickly, and the anxiety and fear grew day by day.

‘If so, should I try to escape?’

Escape from the 66-story building full of utopian gang members was near impossible — still, I couldn’t just do anything and wait for the day of my death.

“Haaaa.”

Out of habit, I stroked my neck with the band attached. He said the wound was shallow, and it wouldn’t leave any scar.

The cuts from Yu-gyeom’s sword were now healing quickly.

When I opened my eyes, darkness fell all over the room.

When did I fall asleep?

My body felt stiff because I had slept for a long time, and a small piece of paper fluttered in front of my eyes.

[I’ll be back. Please stay still.]

Even glancing upside down, the frantic handwriting was clearly Lee Chan’s. I mean, why does this bastard leave something like this on a human face…?

Thinking of Lee Chan, who must have left it on my forehead, I couldn’t help but laugh out loud. I then crumpled the paper and threw it away. And, at the same time, Lee Chan was gone.

The next moment, I started walking around every corner of the room.

‘It’s so wide. There must be something that can help, right?’

I couldn’t sit still and wait for an opportunity. If possible, it would be nice to have a building structure diagram or at least a gun.

If Yu-gyeom doesn’t keep coming to see me, I’ll have to try to escape.

“Haaa… Lee Chan is a needlessly meticulous guy.”

If there was anything, the drawers on the table where he worked were always locked. But, I did not give up and searched every nook and cranny.

Damn… it was too wide. It would be more appropriate to call it a house rather than a room. I glanced at the door halfway through and looked around as far as I could go with my hand, but then I came across a seemingly clean wall.

“That…”

It reminded me of the place where I first woke up. The last time I saw it, it seemed like nothing, but now that I think about it, it was strange. There was no need to hide in an ordinary room.

Is there something else I haven’t seen? Like a secret passage to get out.

When I thought about it that far, I was banging my fist against the bare wall.

“How do I open it from the outside?”

I lifted and placed the vase on the table in front of the wall and tilted the picture frame hanging on the wall. Looking around the room with my back against the wall, the bookshelf filling the wall next to the bed caught my attention.

‘Do I have to take out a book to open it from outside? I hope not.’

When I saw the countless books on a bookshelf huge enough to reach the ceiling, I sighed. It was at that moment when I was thinking about whether I should take out all those books whenever I was alone in the future.

“That’s boring.”

A voice as sweet as a song sharply cut through the still air.

Startled, I turned my head to the side where the voice came from, and at that moment, a flame-like flash flashed through the black night sky beyond the window. Like a crumpled hope, the darkness that brightened for a moment turned even darker than before.

The darkness was somehow creepy, and I swallowed my breath.

Rumble~!!

Despite the common-sense expectation that thunder would follow, I felt dizzy at the sensation of my heart sinking to my toes. Maybe, it wasn’t just because of the thunder, I couldn’t know.

“….”

Red water dripped under the black figure, creating a creepy stain. Another flash of lightning lit up the entire room, revealing the face hidden in darkness.

As expected, my heart stopped.

Yu-gyeom, standing with his back to the light, all wet in red, smiled at me like a doll.
