Chapter 73: Just bear with me, okay?
Jin-Yeok suddenly started laughing in a loud and hearty way, his calm and soothing voice resounding in my ear.
He held on to me right and laughed for a while and I wondered if he had inhaled laughing gas out of nowhere.
"Jo-Pil, Hwang Jo-Pil," he called with that soothing voice of his but I gulped. This was not the time to be responding, ’Yes, master.’ I felt I had landed myself in yet another predicament.
He laughed a bit more before squeezing a little more tightly, hugging me as if I was all he had. He shoved his fingers through my hair as he pressed my head to his chest and his eyes held a longing gaze.
"I don’t know... How is it that I’m recently only meeting someone like you for the first time in my life?" He asked and chuckled.
Well, that would be because you would’ve never been able to find anyone like me in this godforsaken novel, to begin with.
Be glad I possessed this body in my sleep and I’m giving you something to laugh about right now.
That’s right, treasure me because I’m one of a kind.
"You accuse me with sly words but always have such a fine way to cover it up." He said and I darted my eyes away. Does this mean he did not believe when I said I was directing that greed accusation at me? "And despite knowing you’re playing me with your words, I can’t get angry. I find it amusing and want to listen to you rather. I want to listen to your wrapped up harsh words that strangely remind me of the reality I’m living,"
Well, it didn’t matter since he wasn’t mad about it.
"Is this why I’m so curious to see how far I can push you?" He asked, his tone low and sober.
