140 – Jin…Jeon? (2)
####
Merilda’s resolve wavered several times even as the sun gradually set.
No matter how shocking the story Liyu told her to help strengthen her resolve, ultimately, such thoughts lingered in her mind.
What if she ended up being resented by Kim Hyunwoo because of this incident? Such thoughts crossed her mind.
However, Merilda was well aware that if she didn’t act in her current state, nothing would change in the end.
…And above all, knowing very clearly that she was not the only one targeting Kim Hyunwoo, she forcibly held onto her faltering resolve and waited.
She waited, but…
“Iik…!”
As soon as Merilda caught sight of something black between the rooms where Kim Hyunwoo was, without a word, she immediately moved her body towards that direction.
Knowing very well whose those black claws belonged to, she swiftly ran towards the window, attempting to pierce through the dark claws flowing in from outside and enter inside.
“!”
Just as Merilda was about to shoot towards the window of the room, almost as if anticipating her move, the wide-spread black claws made her realize her mistake too late and she tried to pull back her body.
“Kuk!”
– Her body, already accelerated once, shot straight into the black claws, and the claws, which seemed to be non-existent just moments ago as if mocking the empty space, instantly converged and restrained Merilda’s body.
It all happened in the blink of an eye.
Realizing she was caught, Merilda frowned, trying to move her body to escape from the black claws.
Chyaak-!
＜p class=”a”＞From Noble mtl dot com“!”
However, as if anticipating Merilda’s movements from the start, a giant rope burst forth from in front of her, tearing something apart and subduing her flesh.
‘Magic scroll…!’
Realizing the power of the magic scroll, so potent that she couldn’t break free immediately, Merilda understood that Lin, no- the absolute ruler of darkness, had made up her mind.
Chyaaak!
As if confirming Merilda’s thoughts, five magic scrolls burst forth from the dark claws, tearing apart, completely binding Merilda’s body.
Wuuung-!
“This darn…!”
Merilda, upon seeing a scroll emitting a blue light and starting to draw a magic circle as soon as it was torn, involuntarily muttered such words.
And no wonder, as she knew very well what the resonating magic scroll with a blue light in front of her meant.
‘Teleportation scroll!’
Of course, unlike the good teleportation scroll Adriana had given Kim Hyunwoo before, which required about 10 seconds to activate, Merilda was gritting her teeth upon seeing the scroll that began to activate.
Suddenly, she glanced down.
Below where the teleportation scroll was being activated, she saw a view inside the window that the dark claws had not covered.
“!”
And at that moment when she saw it, Merilda couldn’t help but freeze.
In the place Merilda was currently looking at, Rin was passionately kissing Kim Hyunwoo, which made something snap in Merilda’s mind.
Therefore, with a sudden interruption in her thoughts, Merilda blurted out, “This damn-“
Thunk!
Ignoring the pain coursing through her body, she harshly broke the spell that was restraining her and reached out with a stern expression, but,
Vroom-!
“N-!!!!!!!!”
Merilda, who had tears welling up in her eyes, shouted but couldn’t continue her words, disappearing completely from that spot due to a momentary teleportation scroll.
And.
“Chu-mp…Hah-“
The kiss continued.
####
Kim Hyunwoo looked at Rin with a face that showed he had no idea how to judge the situation.
No, he had no choice but to look at her.
After all, Kim Hyunwoo’s face was already in close proximity to Rin’s.
“Haa-Chup-“
Just the sound alone, heard through his ears, sent strange sensations into Kim Hyunwoo’s mind, while Rin’s tongue roamed tirelessly in his mouth.
Their tongues entwined.
Kim Hyunwoo belatedly tried to regain his senses and move his body back, but unfortunately, there was no escape for him.
Initially, he was lying down, and Rin was on top of him.
Of course, he could push her away, given that she had a much smaller physique than him, but unfortunately, it was impossible.
Rin was a 5.5-star hero.
Although Kim Hyunwoo had been consuming Lani’s food and was now close to the abilities of a 2-star hero, he still couldn’t match Rin’s strength.
“Chup…Hup…”
Kim Hyunwoo could only receive Rin’s kiss.
The squelching sound echoed, stimulating his auditory senses as it whispered into his ears repeatedly.
However, despite the situation, Kim Hyunwoo felt a peculiar sensation.
Clearly, in such a scenario, from the moment it started, he should have been prepared (?) for everything.
Was that all? It was evident that he hadn’t even thought of such a cold-headed idea.
He seriously pondered how many men could endure such a situation, but amusingly, Kim Hyunwoo himself was enduring it.
No, he was enduring it—without any emotions in this situation.
…As if he couldn’t feel any emotions in this regard.
“It’s somewhat shocking.”
Kim Hyunwoo thought so.
He had been aware of the fact that there was some sort of limit in his mind, but this extreme situation was the first time he truly experienced it, which was a bit shocking.
Even if he calmly thought about it in his head, it was a situation where anyone would naturally have physiological reactions, yet he was not experiencing any.
Hence, shocked by this fact, Kim Hyunwoo slowly tried to think rationally about why Rin was sitting on his stomach and kissing him, but soon stopped his thoughts.
To make any inference, one needed some information, but at least at this moment, Kim Hyunwoo had no inkling as to why Rin had created this situation.
So focused on the kiss that his breath hitched, Kim Hyun-woo gazed at Lin, who was looking at him lovingly.
“Haah-haah♥”
As the kiss came to an end, a thin silver thread lingered in the air, and looking at Lin, who was gazing at him affectionately, he spoke.
“Lin…?”
“Why, what’s wrong?”
“…I just want to know what’s going on.”
Lying down, Kim Hyun-woo asked the very charming Lin.
She blushed, looking incredibly alluring, and with a face full of blush, she brought her face closer to his.
“Well, isn’t it obvious?”
“Obvious…?”
“To be honest, it’s too embarrassing, so I’d rather you didn’t ask anymore… And-“
Peck.
“Does this answer your question?”
Lin lightly brushed her lips against Kim Hyun-woo’s slightly trembling lips, then slowly withdrew her hand that had been gently caressing his cheek with a strange smile.
Moving past his collarbone, her hand slowly descended down his chest and stomach.
“Wait a minute-“
Kim Hyun-woo hurriedly tried to stop Lin, but thanks to the refreshing spring water, her hand, emboldened by the strangeness and courage, continued its descent without hesitation.
In the next moment.
“…Huh?”
Lin uttered a momentary, bewildered murmur.
As if indicating this was not right.
She hesitatedly moved her hand back up, as if something was amiss.
However, with each movement of her hand, a very clear fact entered her mind as information.
The fact that Kim Hyun-woo was not experiencing any menstrual cycle(?).
Realizing this, Lin stared blankly at Kim Hyun-woo’s expression.
His expression was calm.
As if he felt no special emotions in this situation at all, with an expression of utter indifference.
Or-
“Uh… is that so? I have a bit of an issue…”
-He awkwardly smiled as if in a bit of a predicament, but his words did not reach her ears.
In her mind, there were only two things swirling around.
Kim Hyun-woo’s expression of indifference, which seemed quite awkward, and the absence of a menstrual cycle(?).
With these two pieces of information, Lin put them together in her mind.
“…Ah.”
And just like that, she fell apart.
