Chapter 69 - a romantic day
With his life on the line, Nimuk ran faster than ever—if he had to guess, this might have been the fastest he’d ever run, even compared to the time he escaped federal prison in the Malv Flower World.
Looking back, he saw a group of women chasing him, screaming and smiling at him.
"Creepy," thought Nimuk, disturbed by their abnormal behavior.
But the fact remained—he couldn’t stop. If he tripped or hesitated even once, he would eventually get caught.
"I have to hide somewhere," he thought, when suddenly, he heard a voice.
"This way—come!"
It was another woman, but this one was older. She had opened the door to a closed house on a side street and was calling out to Nimuk.
Although it was a strange situation, Nimuk didn’t hesitate. One woman he could handle—it was the group of them that terrified him.
Taking the turn sharply, he vanished from the other women’s view, jumped off the street, and ran straight through the open door without looking back. As soon as he entered, the older woman quickly shut the door behind him.
"Thanks for saving me. I don’t know what’s gotten into those women," said Nimuk, sighing and breathing heavily from exhaustion.
"No problem," the woman replied. Her tone was calm—like someone wise, with responsibility and maturity.
