Please let me stay for one night,
Please Stay with Me for One Night | Episode 53
Inside Hanjin's office, two people entered the space where he usually rested. While the secretary displayed a calm demeanor, Jeongguk was not.
전정국
…There is no way? Not even one?
“…I’m trapped too, so what would I know?”
전정국
You locked him up?
_Jungkook gradually approached the secretary. His tone was one of disbelief. His eyes seemed to say, "You know, so tell me right now."
_When the secretary's back finally touched the wall, Jeong-guk also stopped. "Speak as you are, and don't even think about getting away."
"...I really don't know."
_Jeong-guk's expression distorted as he listened to the secretary. He burst out in laughter, as if in disbelief.
전정국
Kim Han-jin must have ordered you…
전정국
Hold on to me.
"Why, if you hold on to me, you'll spare my life?" The words were laced with laughter, but the atmosphere here wasn't entirely one of laughter.
전정국
… … Choose well.
전정국
Will Kim Han-jin really save you?
Even I, who was a close friend, was made to feel this miserable, so how much more so must you have felt?
"……."
전정국
…Do you mean, you want me to die too? Really?
_Jungkook, who had been standing close and questioning her, soon averted his gaze from the secretary. He was simply frustrated by the secretary's seeming inability to open her mouth.
_I thought he would give up and back off, but he looked at his secretary again and opened his mouth.
전정국
… … Even if you want to die, I can’t.
전정국
There's someone I need to save, so please…
"Help me." He was stopped by a pang of sadness welling up in his throat. He prayed that the person in front of him would help him.
···
Meanwhile, the female protagonist's situation.
_The female protagonist is dragged to an unknown place by mysterious men with her head wrapped in a black cloth envelope.
_I will try to resist as much as I can, but how can one woman defeat a group of strong, adult men?
박여주
Let go of this! That bastard Kim Han-jin ordered this too?
_The heroine was finally forced to sit on an old wooden chair, her hands and feet tied to it. Finally, the black cloth obscuring her vision disappeared... A sigh of relief escaped her, but her expression darkened.
박여주
…….
박여주
… Seriously, you always exceed expectations.
_The forehead of the female protagonist, who was quite tired from twisting her tied body here and there while being carried in the car, was covered in sweat. Someone was wiping her forehead and smiling bitterly.
김한진
I'm a little bit like that.
_The female protagonist, as if she no longer had the energy to argue with him, looked away and let out a hollow laugh.
_He met Hanjin's gaze again and opened his mouth.
박여주
So it was me you wanted from the beginning…?
김한진
Oh~ Was it really you?
At Hanjin's gesture, which seemed to be a joke, men in black clothes appeared from somewhere and dropped two exhausted-looking people to the floor.
_They too, like the heroine, had their hands and feet tied… , and the expression on the heroine’s face as she watched them was one of shock.
박여주
… …Are you really crazy?!
Their lips were chapped, their eyes were swollen, and their clothes were torn in places. At a glance, these men were clearly victims of brutal abuse at the behest of Hanjin.
_These were the two reporters Yeoju had been searching for all morning: Hyunwoo and Jihoon.
김한진
Oh, it seems a little crazy.
Hyunwoo and Jihoon were half-closed, on the verge of losing consciousness. Yeoju, who was a long way away, shouted at them, "Are you okay? Can you hear me?"
박여주
… Come to your senses, please!!
박여주
Reporters…!
_In the meantime, raindrops began to fall one by one, making matters worse. The female protagonist's white shirt gradually began to turn transparent.
김한진
…it’s a tearful friendship, really.
박여주
…….
박여주
…개새끼…. 넌 진짜 개새끼야….
_Hanjin smiled as if he found it amusing as the female protagonist stared at him with both eyes wide open. So~ he should have acted appropriately.
김한진
I never thought they would turn their backs on me…
김한진
Wow~ I never imagined that ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
_At Hanjin's sudden tilt back and start laughing, the female protagonist frowned deeply. It was really creepy.
김한진
What's creepy is... me.
김한진
I was betrayed by the people I trusted?
"They just paid the price for it, you know." At Hanjin's nonchalant remark, the female protagonist opened her mouth.
박여주
…….
박여주
…you really are beyond redemption.
_It's so disgusting, so get out of my sight, you crazy bastard… . Before the trembling voice could even completely end, the dull friction of flesh against flesh rang out.
_At the same time, the female protagonist turned her head, and Hanjin turned her wrist with a calm smile.
김한진
…Why do you keep saying “kid, kid”?
_I tried to bear with it, but it's a bit awkward to hear? Hanjin's lips were wide with a smile as he lifted the female lead's chin with his finger.
박여주
…….
_As Hanjin lifted Yeoju's chin, the rain that had been getting heavier began to flow down Yeoju's face.
김한진
Sigh- It looks like it's going to keep raining.
김한진
If this happens, there will be some disruption to the plan.
_Hanjin took his fingers off Yeoju's chin, stroked her face a few times, and then moved away from her.
김한진
It's going to be a bit difficult to set fire to, isn't it?
박여주
……what?
김한진
Originally, I was just going to set fire to this building.
김한진
Just gather here the guys who keep stirring up strange things.
_I was going to take care of it all at once. But it's raining? Hanjin smiled at Yeoju.
_The female protagonist, who had been listening to Hanjin, laughed in vain as if there was nothing more to be surprised about.
김한진
… things are getting annoying. I have to deal with them separately.
_Hanjin, who had been pressing his temple with his index finger, whispered to the men surrounding him as if an interesting idea had occurred to him.
_And then he came closer to the heroine again and said…
김한진
…It would be fun to get away from here.
박여주
…….
_I wonder if a savior has appeared in this situation.
_Just as Hanjin was whispering to Yeoju, the rooftop door opened with a cracking sound.
If there are sweet potatoes, there must be sweet cider.
