Chapter 108 - Kim Joohyun [2] (1/2)

The corner of Moon Jiwoo's eyes glistened with tears as she opened them. A yawn escaped from her mouth while she stretched her hand upwards. The entire night she was unable to sleep properly— until her body gave up due to exhaustion— due to how rough the bed felt.

Even though pain lasted for Moon Jiwoo for a very short time, the backache she felt due to sleeping at such a bed hadn't subsided yet.

A funny smell reached into her nose as she sniffed into the room, and while a cough escaped from her mouth, she wondered where the stench generated from.

Jiwoo got down of the bed, and as her foot stepped on something, she looked downwards. A duvet lied beneath her foot.

Sleeping without one was not something Jiwoo was used to, but due to the smell it emitted— coupled with the fact that it appeared as if it hadn't been cleant for a year— she kicked it out of her bed in annoyance.

All of what had happened ever since she had arrived at here made her annoyance level to rise to the top, and Jiwoo knew that if it was to be continued— without caring about cooperating with them— she would directly be giving them a piece of her mind.

She wondered what she had done in order to deserve this in the first place! This was the worst reception she had received!

Jiwoo's eyes displayed her lack of sleep as she walked towards the dining room. Raising her line of sight, her eyes fell on Oh Sookyung, who had a bright smile upon his face.

After a terrible night and a morning, she found that being a complete eyesore, and letting out a scoff, she shot daggers at him with her eyes.

”Oh my! You seem terrible,” Sookyung commented.

Clenching her hand into a tight fist, Jiwoo said, ”Tell me about it! I seriously want to punch that Joohyun Bastard! I will drag him to the Kingdom and let him live at the horse's stable.”

”There is no horse's stable in the Kingdom, but I understand what you mean,” Sookyung said while he held amusement in his eyes.

”Well, if that's the case, then I will knock him out and take him to the surface. I am pretty sure there are horse stables there,” Jiwoo vocalised, ”You seem all well though. Don't tell me that your room was better than mine?”

Shrugging his shoulders, Sookyung spoke out, ”There was nothing wrong with my room. That's understandable though. No one would directly dare to go after King despite of how much they hate them. That's why, you were made into their target.”

”Now, I get why you brought me at here,” Jiwoo said, ”It is supposed to be revenge for all the times I have threatened you, right? Wow! Oh Sookyung, you are really cunning!”

Going over to the dining table, Jiwoo pulled one of the chairs and sat down on it. The chair creaked slightly under her weight, and deep inside, Jiwoo prayed that the chair would not be breaking down on her. That would be utterly humiliating!

”Wow! You have gotten smarter, Daerinnie! I am proud of you. How did you figure out my motive so fast?” Sookyung voiced out.

”Tch! You bastard!” Jiwoo exclaimed.

”If the conditions are that horrible, we can exchange bedrooms for the night. I am more adaptable than you I guess,” Sookyung stated.

Moon Jiwoo's eyes brightened up at his offer, and while the corner of her lips curved to a bright smile— seeing how this was the first good thing that had happened to her ever since she was in this place— she clapped both of her hands together.

”Really!? Thank you, Oh Sookyung! Then, I will trouble you to take my room,” Jiwoo spoke out.

”You are quite thick-skinned it seems. Normally, one would decline it, and I thought you would be more prideful about it,” he pointed out.

”Who would be an idiot enough to do that? And what's not prideful about it? Only after I am able to sleep peacefully will I be able to think properly, and since it is you, Oh Sookyung, I have no qualms about accepting it,” Jiwoo said.
