Chapter 140 – Senior (Yoo Dong) – Foxes Are A Bit Much
* Senior (Yoo Dong) – Foxes are a Bit Much (5)
“Look at the stars, it’s a perfect night for stargazing.”
Before Junseo’s inner turmoil could even settle, a bomb goes off. It’s not that she’s in the mood today, as she’s covering her tattoos with workout clothes and walking the dark streets with a woman in a suit, but she’s constantly looking up at the sky, completely absorbed in the stars.
“If we go over there, we’ll see them better. It’s in the mountains, so the air will be clear too. But to be dragged there and become a sex slave again, my life is truly unfortunate. And to be treated like my younger brother’s sex disposal unit.”
“……”
“Ha.”
The woman in the suit who followed her seems to have no intention of talking to Haeun, her lips tightly sealed. Perhaps displeased by that, she turns her gaze away. She’s become close enough to talk openly with the merchandise, but Moonyoung’s subordinates seem intent on sticking to their duties, always drawing a line, and even now, they’re not sticking close but keeping a distance.
“Something must have happened?”
“Nothing happened.”
“If nothing happened, Moonyoung wouldn’t have assigned you to me. Who died? You were acting crazy, snatching Junseo’s phone earlier.”
“Nothing happened.”
“Come on, don’t be like that, just tell me. I’ve always had a lot to hide, so I won’t spill it to Junseo right away. As proof, you only recently found out about my tattoos, right? I have a track record, so don’t be so standoffish. It’s my business, how upset do you think I’d be if I didn’t know?”
“Tsk…”
The woman guarding Haeun clicks her tongue, as if annoyed. Haeun’s brow twitched slightly at that attitude, but it was dark, so the other person didn’t see it. She was about to show her true colors if they didn’t talk, but thankfully, they seemed to have a grasp of Haeun’s personality, as they didn’t hesitate to open their mouth.
“I’d like to say in advance that this is not something to tell the young master. You must not tell Miss Moonyoung that I said this.”
“I really won’t. What is it?”
“Two days ago, someone came near this apartment. They were probably coming to visit. We’ve confirmed that they are an acquaintance of the young master.”
“That’s out of the blue.”
Are all of Moonyoung’s subordinates like this?
Before she could voice that question, the other person spoke again.
“That acquaintance of the young master was kidnapped near here. I heard they caused a commotion about sex crimes or something and were dragged away by women. Of course, the police didn’t come, and they went missing. Jang Moon-sang was tracking them down and found them today.”
“Wait, why hide that from Junseo? Is it Junseo’s friend? If they were visiting, they could be a classmate from the same school? If that gets out later, Junseo will go ballistic! Can you handle that?!”
“They are not acquaintances the young master has known for a long time. They only met relatively recently, so they must have decided it was okay to hide it.”
“Is it Kim Yoo-dong?”
“……”
Another silence.
But that was as good as an answer.
“Hey, this isn’t a joke…”
“Didn’t you dump him? I don’t know if it’s because you didn’t want to date a commoner, but it seems you still had feelings?”
“I’m only devoted to Junseo. But I know he’s someone Junseo is close to. It’s not too late, you should tell him quickly. If he gets fed up, you won’t be able to handle it later. He already has bad feelings about your village because of us, what are you going to do?”
“There’s no problem. Miss Moonyoung has already received the young master’s seed. We have no intention of mistreating the young master, but if the number of children increases, the village’s unrest will subside. After that, no matter what feelings the young master has towards the village, the villagers won’t care.”
“So, my younger brother’s feelings don’t matter with that shitty consideration?”
“Wouldn’t it be more upsetting if he knew? It’s better if he doesn’t know. At least for now, it’s better for him to stay quiet. We have no intention of letting any commotion reach the young master’s ears until we enter the village. This is our consensus.”
“So you’re going to hide everything until the end? Including that car accident?”
“Miss Moonyoung revealed everything about that accident, but as long as the same accident doesn’t happen twice, we can conclude that the accident was a coincidence and the surroundings are peaceful, right?”
At that, she smacks her forehead. No lie in the world lasts forever. Just like she did, the truth will be revealed someday.
“Do you really think that’s possible?”
“Once the child is born, things will stabilize. Raising a child isn’t easy, and they’ll grow up quickly. In the meantime, we can catch and punish those bastards who caused the car accident, and then everything will return to normal.”
“You call my younger brother ‘young master’ but treat him like shit. Once the child is born, that’s it. You call him ‘young master’ like he’s a decoration and pretend to treat him well.”
“Everyone here, including my colleague who came with me, is from the village. Our reverence for the young master is genuine. Miss Moonyoung must feel the same way. That’s why we’re hiding everything and handling it ourselves. Is that so bad?”
“It’s very bad. It’s truly awful.”
“I don’t want to hear that from a slave. A bitch who only spreads her legs at home is looking down on someone who works outside. If you’re unhappy, you can reveal what happened last time to the mistress, right?”
“With that personality, why haven’t you revealed it yet?”
“Because the next village chief is the young master. The mistress will soon step down, and even if the young master takes everything now, she won’t be able to say anything. In the first place, the mistress isn’t even treated as a formal village chief. The village has been led by men since ancient times.”
“Sycophant.”
“I told you, I don’t want to hear that from you.”
Even though she said that, she didn’t seem to have any intention of fighting openly, and as soon as she finished speaking, she moved away. It seemed that they had no intention of talking any further, as their ways of understanding things were different, but still, Haeun was the one who threw out the last word.
“Is he dead?”
“Who?”
“Kim Yoo-dong.”
“He’s alive. He was severely harmed, but his life is not in danger.”
“How severe was the harm?”
“I will remain silent.”
“Why?”
“Do you really want to hear…?”
At that, she frowns but doesn’t pry. She spread her five fingers and wiggled them, warning, “It’s better not to hear.” The gesture, which was reminiscent of a bug, gave Haeun, who already had trauma related to bugs, an unpleasant chill.
“They’re really something. I thought they’d grab Junseo, but when that didn’t work, they grabbed another guy. How are they going to handle the aftermath?”
“I don’t know. But I heard they’ve finished preparing to silence everyone. It’s fresh information that just came in.”
She shakes the phone she’s holding. Considering the time, the conversation must have just ended. Fortunately, he wasn’t dead and his life wasn’t in danger, so she was relieved about that.
“They can silence everyone even after all that chaos, that’s amazing. What kind of conditions did they offer?”
“They just prepared a suitable treatment, I heard. They didn’t seem to dislike it either.”
“If you say it like that, I get curious…”
“They said you’ll find out later, so they told me not to say anything. So I didn’t hear it either.”
“I have a feeling I’m going to get backstabbed in an unexpected place.”
She couldn’t imagine that her premonition would come true later, and she looked at the lights of the mart in the distance. Since things had escalated this much, she was relieved that nothing would happen to her today. After all, Kim Yoo-dong had been found today, so there was no way anything would happen right now.
“There are so many people, what could happen?”
“I think so too. I wanted to stay near the young master as much as possible, but…”
It was like a scene from a horror movie. Just as the soon-to-be-dead victims were uttering their lines and entering the crowd, she felt a strange unease, and a nasty woman’s voice reached her ears.
“I know, right? We were surprised too. They just barged in and took the bait. Thanks to that, all the people who were watching me went there, so it became easier to move.”
“Huh?”
Haeun and Moonyoung’s subordinate felt a chill down their spines as they heard the group interrupting their conversation. At the edge of their vision, they saw the face of a fox-like woman.
“Why is this old woman here… Where’s Jang Moon-sang…?”
“Now that I’ve been caught, why would I stay still? If you had given me a few more days, I wouldn’t have had to act so quickly, but if you’re going to rush things like this, I have to go all out, right?”
“How many people are there here right now?!”
“Shhh.”
Ignoring the eyes of the people, a car comes crashing in.
“You’re the most pitiful woman I’ve ever seen. I’ll save you.”
Before entering the crowd.
The road in front of the mart.
The two were slightly apart when she finished speaking.
The timing was perfect.
“You crazy bitch?!”
It was enough time to push a person into the van. Moonyoung’s subordinate belatedly threw herself forward, but there was only so much one person could do. The women who had been waiting pushed her back, boarded the van, and the car drove off.
“Bye-bye~!”
“Aaaah?!”
The fox stuck her head out of the car and gave a spiteful middle finger.
