Chapter 74 - Gentleman [1] (1/2)

Hearing that voice, instantly, Jiwoo whipped her head back, and seeing Oh Sookyung stand behind her, relief spread through her ċhėst. Slight anger rose within her for his carelessness.

”Where did you go?” Jiwoo questioned, folding her arms across her ċhėst.

Holding his wallet and raising it, Sookyung voiced out, ”Someone wanted to steal my wallet, but my reputation and pride as a con artist could not let that be successful.”

”I don't care about your damned reputation or pride. You idiot! You should be more careful from the next time around. You are such a bother,” she commented before turning her head in the other direction and starting to walk.

Embarrassment bloomed within Moon Jiwoo for being worried about simply nothing, and biting the insides of her mouth, she scolded herself inside her head for being this panicked when it came to Oh Sookyung.

This was not the first time they had been attacked, and in fact, everytime they came outside to the city, this would happen. At this point, it had become a habit of Moon Jiwoo to protect him.

A chuckle escaped from Oh Sookyung's mouth before he made hurried steps forward, and extending his hands, he pulled Jiwoo into a hug from behind.

Moon Jiwoo's eyes widened when she felt her back touch his ċhėst, and such a close distance between the two of them was starting to make her self-conscious. Although this was not the first time they had been this close to each other, the atmosphere this time around was quite different.

”Were you worried about me, Daerin-ah? I am really sorry about the entire thing,” he vocalised, ”I should have been more careful about it, right? Please overlook this one for me.”

”What the hell kind of nonsense is? Of course I was not worried about it. It was that Hyungwon will be killing me if something happened to you,” Jiwoo said.

”Moon Jiwoo, you need to start to be more honest,” he voiced out, ”You are this transparent yet you try to lie.”

”It is none of your business whether or not I am honest, Bastard! Now, shut up, and let go of me! This is absolutely disturbingly, and stay away from me! You stink! How long had it been—”

Before Moon Jiwoo was about to continue further, he attacked her by placing his lips on top of her checks and pecked her. After that, he instantly released her and moved a safe distance away from her.

Registering what had just happened, Moon Jiwoo's eyes widened for a second, and as her cheeks started to flare up, she turned her head to face the man.

Her eyes glared at him, and raising her hand, she was about to punch. However, before she was able to deliver that punch to him, her hand was gripped by him.

Seeing that, she was about to move her other hand, but Oh Sookyung, being perceptive, wrapped his other hand around that hand of hers in order to prevent it from hurting him.

”Yah! You bastard! Let go of me! I want to punch you and teach you a lesson at this moment! You are starting to become more and more of a pervert as time passes by, and I need to teach you lesson,” she spoke out, ”How the fuċk do you dare to kiss my cheek? I will seriously kiss you.”

”Geez! It's not liked I kissed your lips. It's just your cheek, and how much inexperienced are you? This can actually be even treated like a greeting. Which age are you from to be this infuriated over a peck? Are you a prude?” he vocalised.

His words resulted in her temper rising further, and unable to hold the fury within her, she made sure to go for an attack at his nose, escaping from his hold.

Although most of the times she would try to use her maximum strength on Oh Sookyung— and it would be her body instinctively decreasing the impact— this time around she found herself using less strength in her punch by herself.

This was something she found to be quite strange.

The impact of the punch caused Oh Sookyung to stumble backwards, and a wince escaped from his mouth while he grabbed on to his jaw.

”Yah! You ȧsshole, I will kill you next time around! I ȧssure you that!” she exclaimed.
