"Sorry for tricking you, but I wanted to be with you for life
Your arms were so warm, so will you take me back..?"
Bumgyu’s voice trembles as if he’s confessing, but the heroine can’t hear a single thing
entering her ears. She had expected it, but a guy who looks like the male lead of a shoujo manga
turned out to be Baekseol!! His bangs covered his eyes, so she couldn’t see clearly, but there was an affectionate
gaze in his eyes looking at the heroine. Before she knew it, the heroine reached out and gently swept Bumgyu’s bangs back,
and soon her pupils widened and her face turned bright red again. The reason was because she had seen the real
face hidden behind Bumgyu’s bangs. Thick eyebrows, deep double eyelids, and sparkling big eyes,
and even long eyelashes—it was so pretty. To exaggerate a bit, in that instant the heroine even felt
a sense of deprivation that she was a girl, so she gathered herself and messed up his bangs again
The five guys all looked at the heroine with question marks over their heads
"Damn it, don’t ever go around with your hair up like that. You’re totally guilty.."
"Huh? Huh?"
"And why am I the heroine? I’m two years older than you, so I’m your noona, noona"
"Okay, got it! Noona!"
Bumgyu grins happily, and the heroine, still red-faced, turns around and heads home
"Hyung, are we right that heroine-noona has fallen for Bumgyu-hyung?" — Kai
"Seems like it" — Soobin
"Oh no, I was going to ask her to raise me too" — Taehyun
"We absolutely can’t let them work out" — Kai
"What the hell, you punk? If you lay a hand on mine, I won’t let it slide?" — Bumgyu
"Yours? Why is heroine-noona yours, hyung?" — Taehyun
Looking at the three of them bickering over the heroine, Yeonjun and Soobin stare at them like they’re hopeless
It’s a relief that things got resolved, but let’s think about what to do with Taehyun and Kai later
"As expected, the heroine didn’t abandon me"
After shedding tears of joy and following after the heroine, Bumgyu was soon
grabbed by the nape by Yeonjun. When Bumgyu looked at him with a face full of question marks, Yeonjun said,
"Even if heroine-ssi accepted you, you still can’t go back to that house. You know the landlady has allergies, too,"
he said. Then his expression quickly turned miserable. With no big
event, the heroine and the five guys were spending happy days together
The maid cafe, needless to say, was packed with reservation customers, whether on weekdays or weekends
Bumgyu was working with his bangs covering his eyes, just as the heroine had told him
Taehyun and Kai were thinking about how to make the heroine into their butler
And then an unwelcome guest came
"Bumgyu!"
For a moment, Bumgyu thought it was the heroine entering the cafe at closing time, but it wasn’t
At the gentle voice calling out to Bumgyu as he cleaned up, Bumgyu’s eyes trembled wide,
and everyone turned around at the sound. They were just as shocked as Bumgyu
There stood Han Seol-a, the lab team leader whom Bumgyu, with his flashy features and model-like proportions,
had loved for the first time in his life. With only one corner of her mouth lifted, an
unsettling aura seemed to hang in the air
"I finally found you"
Bumgyu was only trembling, unable to say anything. Noticing this, Yeonjun pulled Bumgyu
behind him and hid him. Then he watched Seol-a closely. Seol-a sat arrogantly with one leg crossed over the other on a chair.
"So this is where you were. I thought you’d run far away, but you were closer than I expected"
"Bumgyu, do you know this person?"
"...Master"
"Huh?"
"The one who hurt me"
Those words landed painfully
At Bumgyu’s words, everyone’s eyes went wide as they warily watched Seol-a
"The one who hurt you? Well, that’s not exactly wrong. But Bumgyu,
don’t forget that it was me who saved you when you were nearly dead because of the experiment
And the beastmen born in our lab all wear necklaces with their names and dates of birth engraved on them, don’t they?
That’s a tracking device, so even if you run away, you’re in the palm of my hand"
At those words, his body shook even more violently. Furious, Bumgyu tore off the necklace
and threw it to the floor. Not only did she hurt him, now a tracking device too!!
Beastmen lived a life no different from slaves. They were filled with rage, and
seeing that, Seol-a smirked
"Don’t struggle, Bumgyu. There’s a chip implanted in your body, so you can’t run away
You met several masters over the years, didn’t you? But you were abandoned by all of them. How pathetic
Could it be that you found your real master? Would that master love you more than I do?"
"...."
Before long, she approached right in front of Bumgyu and naturally wrapped her arm around his, pressing her body close
Seeing Bumgyu frozen stiff with fear, there was no way Yeonjun would just stand by
He pulled Seol-a away and said with his brows deeply furrowed,
"What do you want to say? Are you saying you’ll take him back again?"
"Choi Yeonjun, stay out of this. Bumgyu, we need you
If you hadn’t run away, the experiment would have succeeded
Even now it’s not too late, so we need your body. Come with me, okay?"
"...No... no!!"
Bumgyu began to panic as terrifying scenes from the lab flashed through his mind
Yeonjun and Soobin shouted for her to get out right now. Leaving Bumgyu crouched on the floor, clutching his head
and suffering, Seol-a continued talking
"The current master is Seo Yeoju, the girl you loved. Did you know that?
Ah, of course you did. She’s the girl who saved your life at the cost of her own. See you again"
then she walked out of the cafe. Bumgyu swallowed back tears. Instinctively, Taehyun and Kai
who had hidden themselves, appeared only after Seol-a disappeared
"The smell of the lab hit me the moment she came in, so I hid without even thinking" — Taehyun
"That woman’s scary. I don’t want to go back to the lab again" — Kai
"So even if we take this necklace off, there’s a chip in our bodies, which means they can find us anytime?
What do we do? What if the researchers find us?" — Taehyun
"Don’t worry, Taehyun, Kai. As long as hyung is your master, nobody can touch you
Bumgyu, what is that researcher talking about? So Yeoju saved you?"
"..."
Bumgyu said nothing, and Yeonjun didn’t ask any further
Taehyun and Kai also had eyes full of fear. One thing was certain: as long as there was a master,
they couldn’t be touched. Even Bumgyu, who had a master, couldn’t be handled carelessly.
Yeonjun was thinking that strangely. What exactly was that experiment? Why did they need it?
They were the ones who threw him away, and at this moment Bumgyu wanted to see Yeoju
