Chapter 78: The feeling of death
After dessert, we were supposed to make our way back to the mansion but I decided to stroll a bit. And since we were strolling in the streets where anyone could attack Jin-Yeok, the guards used their bodies as barricades and walked ahead of us.
I didn’t like that I was parading everywhere with Jin-Yeok and having our pictures taken because people would make speculations that we were a couple and write about it.
If the other two saw this, how well would they take it?
I felt so many eyes on me that it was starting to get uncomfortable. I felt like I was being watched, my every step and my every action. Gosh, even my words needed to be filtered if I didn’t want to be slandered for saying bad words on the streets.
It’s not like I have a habit of cussing or anything, and living with the three masters has made it possible for me to filter my true thoughts without getting caught.
’Thank goodness I’m not addicted to the Internet. Who knows what I’d see if I went online after getting home? People must be slandering me.’
And if Su-Yeon had taken to the Internet to vent, cry and say I had stolen her man and that I was a man whore, I can guess how many people would hate me before knowing the whole story.
But maybe she might not resort to that yet. It’s not like having other people hate on me would make Jin-Yeok hate me.
So, she would either decide to get rid of me the old-fashioned way or set me up so Jin-Yeok would come to hate me.
I choose neither option, though. I’m just trying to live in peace.
My eyes caught the candy shop across the street and as if I had been bewitched, I walked away from Jin-Yeok and attempted to cross the road without even looking if any cars were coming.
