37 – My Own Villain (9)
After confirming that Arna had fallen asleep, I looked at Baek Joo-hee.
“Why did you target Arna?”
It seemed that the brooch was not the target. Arna did not have the brooch at the moment, so there was no need to target him.
There must be another hidden reason.
“….”
But Baek Joo-hee answered with silence. She seemed unwilling to reveal the truth with her own mouth.
“Is it Kang Tae-hoon?”
“Ugh….”
Baek Joo-hee’s expression twisted. Her carefully applied foundation cracked beautifully. It seemed like the correct answer.
“Since he didn’t accept the challenge request, he wanted to take revenge in this way… How pathetic.”
There was no separate motive. It was merely to force Arna to retire from the exam. If it was the Kang Tae-hoon I knew, he would have caused a bigger commotion.
If that’s not the case….
“Could it be a strategy you came up with, Baek Joo-hee?”
“….”
Well, that’s probably it. It was a strategy that could only come from inside Baek Joo-hee’s head.
Well, at least it seems to have worked on Arna. If he gets a score of 0 in this exam, his position as the top student will be in danger. It would be quite fatal to Arna, even though it might not be for others.
I’ve prepared quite well for him.
“I also have something I’m curious about.”
This time, Baek Ju-hee asked a question.
“Why are you so desperately trying to protect Arna? Weren’t you on the side that hated Arna too? Why now?”
To others, it might seem that way. The one who used to torment Arna every day is suddenly protecting her one day.
But this is just temporary. Once I deal with the annoying ones, I’ll make Arna’s life miserable again.
“I don’t need to know the details, you rag.”
“Oh, really! Can you please stop using that word ‘rag’? I’m not that kind of person!”
“Not that kind of person? Good grief.”
I was genuinely surprised and widened my eyes.
“Now you’re even acting forgetful. Have you forgotten the day you forced gum into my hair?”
“Oh, come on! Because you kept singing that rag song, everyone started looking at me weird!”
“Huh. If someone hears, they might think I made up words. I just spoke the truth.”
“Ugh…!”
Eventually, Baek Ju-hee couldn’t hold back her anger and stomped her foot.
“What’s the truth! I’m not a rag! I’m not that awkward girl!”
No, during the training, she clung to me, breaking through all defenses. Is that not a rag?
Maybe there’s a different standard for a rag that I don’t know about?
“Tell me, when was the last day you slept with a man?”
“Huh? Last s*x? Um, last night?”
“You’re a rag….”
It’s so absurd that I can’t even laugh.
You really have to choose women carefully. If you hastily accept anyone, you’re likely to get indigestion.
It’s like hell has unfolded.
“Well then, when was the last day you had a medical examination?”
“Examination? What examination?”
“A hospital examination.”
“You’re reallyyyyy…!”
She snapped. Baek Ju-hee let out a scream and swung the whip forcefully. It hit the ground precisely.
Crack!
Soon, cracks appeared on the floor. Like a mole passing through the ground, the cracks extended in a straight line towards where I was.
Crack!
Sharp fragments of stone shot out through the cracked floor.
I held up the giant spoon to block the shards.
Ping!
“You’re breaking the floor for no reason. Aren’t the facilities and people pitiable enough?”
“I’m the one who constantly hears nagging. I’m much more pitiable!”
Baek Ju-hee’s attack didn’t stop there. She then swung her whip.
Swish!
The whip extended like a rubber band and wrapped around my wrist. It was heavier and more solid than it looked.
“This time, it’s going to be quite different from last time.”
As she finished speaking, Baek Ju-hee forcefully pulled the whip.
Thud!
“Ugh…!”

I was pulled to the ground by the force of the whip.
It was incredible strength, like a sumo wrestler playing tug of war. I was sucked in almost instantly. Was this the power Baek Ju-hee possessed as an awakened being?
“hehehehe, did you think it would end here?”
Baek Ju-hee pulled the whip again, bringing me right up to her face.
Then, she casually climbed onto my stomach.
“What’s this? It’s the opposite of the last training session, isn’t it?”
Maybe she still couldn’t forget the humiliation from that time. Baek Ju-hee put all her weight on my buttocks.
I grimaced in pain.
“Ugh. Pushing that stinky butt of yours into me. The smell of last night’s lust is vibrating all the way here.”
“I took a shower this morning!”
Squelch!
Baek Ju-hee used the whip to bind my wrists, like handcuffs.
It wasn’t a scene from an erotic movie. It was the first time I’d experienced handcuff play on the ground instead of a bed.
“Do you know how embarrassed I am because of you? Since then, I can’t even lift my head!”
Squish. Baek Ju-hee grabbed a handful of my hair. It seemed like she was ready to tear it out.
“Wait. Hair is off-limits. Can’t you at least grab somewhere else?”
“Noisy! After saying all sorts of things to me, now you want consideration!”
Baek Ju-hee shook her hands, gripping her hair with tears streaming down.
“It’s all because of youuu…!”
No. Why is she pretending to be the victim? She was fooling around with a guy yesterday. What a mess. Why?
When you see things like this, women’s world is truly intricate. It’s impossible to follow their emotional lines. They’re the same humans, but such difficult creatures to understand.
Anyway.
I can’t just take this quietly. I must protect my precious hair. I need to find a way to get Baek Ju-hee off me.
By the way, both hands are tied to the whip, rendering me helpless. But I still have a spoon left.
Using telekinesis, I lifted the spoon lying on the floor over there.
“Even my name is circulating in the community! How are you going to take responsibility for this?”
Fortunately, the other person was blinded by anger and hadn’t noticed the spoon yet. I slowly passed the spoon to the back of Baek Ju-hee’s head.
“….”
If the enlargement had continued, I would have attempted a direct attack. Unfortunately, my hand was freed for a moment, and the spoon returned to its original size.
But.
Even with this small spoon, it was enough.
I quickly pushed the spoon into the collar of Baek Ju-hee’s clothes.
“Urgh…!”
Baek Ju-hee shuddered for a moment. Something cold had entered her body.
“This feeling… could it be a, a bug…? I hate it…!”
I twisted the spoon inside Baek Ju-hee’s body. I explored every corner, focusing especially on sensitive areas like the sides and armpits.
“That’s not allowed…!”
Just to clarify, I didn’t use the Blind Side skill. Why would I want to admire that chewed gum? It’s just a waste of eyes.
“Where is it…! Where is it…!”
Baek Ju-hee began searching for the spoon inside her clothes.
Now is the time. An opportunity to escape from Baek Ju-hee. The moment the whip loosened.
I exerted force on my hands and released the whip.
Snap!
“Huh…? Ack…!”
Without hesitation, I immediately pushed Baek Ju-hee away. She lost her balance and fell to the ground.
Seizing this opportunity, I decided to take control of the situation.
“This should be the second time.”
If earlier, Baek Ju-hee had risen to comfort me, this time, I put Baek Ju-hee down. The situation quickly reversed.
“Well, just a moment… That…”
Baek Ju-hee, who had been busy tearing at my hair until a while ago, now became quiet like a puppy meeting its owner. It seemed she was already frightened from the previous experience.
“Wait, surely it’s not…? Uh…?”
“What are you talking about? Oh, perhaps you’re talking about this?”
Thunk!
I summoned the spoon again through telekinesis.
The spoon was quite warm. Of course, it was. It had just been rolling around inside Baek Ju-hee’s body.
Once again, my spoon got dirty.
I’ll have to unleash the lather later and clean it thoroughly.
“Oh, no… Please, at least spare this spoon…”
Perhaps she recalled the incident during the training session. Baek Ju-hee turned pale at the sight of the spoon.
“You seem to know what I’m going to do. This time, it’s going to hurt more than last time. I’ll hit you as many times as the number of times you grabbed my hair.”
“Well, well, well, just a moment! Before that, listen to me!”
Before swinging the spoon in earnest, Baek Ju-hee put up her final resistance.
Let’s hear what she has to say for now.
“I-I lost! I lost! I won’t touch Arna anymore as you wish! I won’t appear in front of you anymore! I’ll gracefully disappear here! So please…”
“Of course, you have to do that.”
“Huh…?”
As the negotiations broke down, Baek Ju-hee took a deep breath.
Then, in a hurry to present the next negotiation proposal, she started searching her jacket pocket.
“Well, how about this? Look!”
It seemed she pulled out the brooch, the assignment for this test. And not just one, but two.
“I’ll give you all of these! This should be a pretty good deal, right? Both you and Arna can pass the test!”
“Hmm.”
There were less than 30 minutes left until the end of the test. It remains to be seen if I can find the brooch by running around frantically now.
For Arna’s sake, it would be the right choice to secure the brooch here.
“It’s quite tempting.”
“I-I agree…?”
“Fine. I’ll take the brooch as well.”
Upon successfully negotiating, Baek Joo-hee brightened her face, claiming she lived.
“But, before that, it seems like some education is needed.”
“Huh…? Education…?”
Even her wide smile was momentary. Baek Joo-hee’s expectations were pleasantly thwarted. I brandished the spoon right there.
Thunk─!
“Ouch!”
Thunk─!
“Why are you suddenly doing this? The conversation was different!”
Thunk─!
“Ah, my goodness…!”
Thunk─!
“Wait, just a moment…! I mean, that place is already bruised…!”
Thunk─!
“Why are you focusing on hitting only there…!”
Thunk─!
“Oh, seriouslyyyy…!”
Thunk─!
Thunk─!
