31 Honey Trap For the Devil’s Spawn (2/2)

Then, she opened her eyes. Yeo Ri stared at Hyuk's face for a long time. She chuckled, in self-derision. ”I'm such a bad girl, Oppa. Even in this situation, all I can think about is how much I want to touch you.”

”I'm sorry, Oppa...” Yeo Ri apologised one more time before executing what she had planned to do. Even after experiencing that nasty incident, she couldn't help herself, she seemed to think. ”If Oppa was awake, you'd probably feel disgusted that a tainted girl like me wanted to do something like this to you,” she mused.

Just like what that b*stard did to her.

Yeo Ri tilted Hyuk's head upwards, then pressed her lips on his. She was young and inexperienced, so the kiss was innocent and chaste. It was over in mere seconds, but to Yeo Ri, it felt like forever.

Her cheeks glowed red, and her eyes widened as if she couldn't believe she had just did what she did. She looked slightly guilty, but there seemed to also be a feeling of happiness blooming inside her.

Yeo Ri bit her lips, trying to suppress a smile. ”Sorry, Oppa. I'm a bad girl. I took advantage of you even though you're in such a bad state. I'm sorry, Oppa. Yeo Ri is such a selfish and terrible girl. I'm sorry...”

Once Yeo Ri finished saying her piece, she got up, as though she was suddenly feeling hot and stuffy. She needed some fresh air, she decided.

However, something suddenly held her in place.

Yeo Ri looked down to her hand. Hyuk's cold fingers wrapped around her tiny palm. His grip was neither too strong nor too weak. If she wanted to break off the hold, she could. But, she chose not to. Her hands suddenly felt stiff and powerless, as if all the strength had left them.

Yeo Ri stood still, displaying a shocked face as if she had been caught doing something bad. ”O-Oppa, you were awake...?”

Hyuk pushed himself up into a sitting position with difficulty. Yeo Ri quickly supported him once she saw his action.

Once he sat up, Yeo Ri looked away, her face reddening. ”I'm, um, I'll go wait outs—”

Hyuk softly pulled Yeo Ri down to sit next to him. Yeo Ri did not fight against him and followed his lead.

She bowed her head down with a guilty conscience, not daring to meet his eyes. It wouldn't be weird for him to start hating her or feel disgusted by her after what she did, she thought. Her heart would apparently break at the thought of him distancing himself from her. She appeared to be berating herself inwardly, thinking, 'how could you destroy the relationship you already have, you greedy girl?'

Hyuk looked at the downtrodden girl with a complicated gaze. So many thoughts jumbled around in his mind. His heart was beating quickly, and the ECG machine he was attached to started picking it up. Annoyed, he pulled off the wires attached to him and tossed them away.

Once he made up his mind, he tucked her hair behind her ears and carefully touched her face, making her look at him. She gazed at him with glassy eyes, tears threatening to fall. Her brows were scrunched up in worry as she continued to bite her lips.

Then, he kissed her.
