28 The Devil’s Spawn Discovers The Truth NSFW (1/2)

Hyuk's eyes were flaming as he sped on his motorbike.

That f*cking sh*tty b*stard, how dare he fire him only after he worked his *ss off all morning? Hyuk had a belly full of insults towards his pudgy, thin-eyed, sleazy ex-boss.

Thanks to that b*stard, he went to work for nothing. The peanuts he was paid for severance was not even remotely enough for all his hard work. If he knew things were going to end up like this, he would've just stayed at home and nursed Yeo Ri. At least that would have been time well-spent in his books.

Hyuk increased his speed, letting the engines roar as he headed home. He was practically making noise pollution, but he didn't care. Yeo Ri was waiting at home and who knew what that stupid girl might be trying to do when she's still so sick. So much for being independent, he mused. That girl probably wouldn't ask for help until somebody gets hurt.

Hyuk didn't have a habit of announcing that he was home, so he quietly made his way to the kitchen.

”Huh?”

Hyuk picked up a discarded mug on the table. There was milk in it which had soiled the table. Hyuk shook his head. It was probably Yeo Ri. She must've been pretty out of it considering that she hadn't cleaned it up. Yeo Ri was quite particular when it came to cleanliness, so leaving the mug on the table like that was out-of-character for her. Hyuk set down the plastic bag he was carrying before placing the mug into the sink and wiping the table with tissues. Then, he finally unwrapped the thing he brought home.

He had bought a portion of Korean bean sprouts soup with rice from a local soup restaurant for Yeo Ri. He had an inkling that the girl probably hadn't had lunch yet, so he bought it in passing.

He plated it in a bowl and threw away the container. Then, with the soup in hand, he went to check up on Yeo Ri in their room. She was probably still asleep, considering that he hadn't seen her out and about.

”Yeo Ri-ah?” Hyuk quietly creeped inside the room, keeping his voice low and movements silent so as to not wake up the girl.

However, he was quick to figure out that the girl wasn't in the room.

”...Yeo Ri-ah?” Hyuk looked around, wondering if she went out. Where could she have gone?

He placed down the bowl on top of her desk.

He wondered if she was in the bathroom. He had passed by the bathroom earlier but hadn't heard a single sound.

”...Strange,” he muttered.

Hyuk exited the room.

He stood in the living room, glancing around as if expecting her to suddenly pop out from somewhere.

”Yeo Ri?”

Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump—

”...?”

Hyuk paused. He could hear a thumping sound coming from somewhere.

He scanned his surroundings more thoroughly. Then, his heart skipped a beat.

”What the hell?”

He could see his father's door that was slightly ajar.

Hyuk frowned. That man never left his door open; not even for Yeo Ri.

Hyuk inched closer to the door, making sure not to make too much noise.

Then, he saw it.

That man pinned Yeo Ri to the ground, committing an act he never thought would happen. Yeo Ri was sobbing quietly, barricading her bare chest and face from the man. Her clothes were thrown aside, seemingly ripped away from her and appearing somewhat damp. One of that man's hand was holding onto her hip, and the other was on her inner thigh.

His eyes constricted, and his heart dropped. He felt his body grow cold. Without realising what was happening, he threw the door open, his body moving reflexively.
