CHAPTER 15 – Hate (Part 2)

Seo-yeon glared at Dojun. Standing only an arm’s length away, when Dojun smiled thinly, it felt like something snapped.

Lee Sehyun was rambling on, and his father appeared wearing a tie as if to show it off. The banquet was still far from over, and Sehyun’s parents hadn’t even arrived yet.

Why are you doing this to me? 

“Who do you think you are?”

Who do you think you are? I’m enduring all these and trying to hold back but why are you doing this to me? Am I that ridiculous? Am I that easy?

Her stomach churned, and something threatened to rise up, so she clenched her fists and said.

“Hwang Dojun, who do you think you are? Don’t you dare talk about me. You don’t get to talk about me.”

You just want to sleep with me too. Why do you keep acting like there’s something more to it when all you want is to spread my legs? After all, we’re all from the same race.

“You should have said that before you started sobbing in my arms.”

Dojun’s gaze shifted to Seoyeon’s chest. 

There, there, there. Before I devour and suck you dry. That’s what his eyes were saying.

Seo-yeon burst out laughing. It’s funny how people can laugh when they’re so angry. It felt like her mind was ablaze with anger, yet she couldn’t help but laugh.

A father cheating with a woman younger than his daughter. Lee Sehyun sleeping with his fiancée’s sister. Hwang Dojun who uses all sorts of tactics to get her to spread her legs.

You’re all the same. All equally annoying.

“Do you want to sleep with me that badly?”

Seoyeon asked, looking up. It felt like she was just one step away from brushing against his clothes. Ear-piercing screams echoed in her ears, and her mind was swirling with hot winds. At this point, it didn’t matter what happened.

That was the point anyway, wasn’t it? Fine, then I’ll sleep with you once. What else, anything else?

“If I sleep with you once, will you stop?”

The whole thing was ridiculous. Desire, what’s the big deal anyway that got me so worked up about? What’s the big deal about putting it in and pulling it out of the body that I avoided it and ran away? I should have just done it in that dressing room yesterday.

Dojun stared at Seoyeon with intensity. They were the same red eyes she had seen before. Eyes that looked like the core was burning red.

“Are you provoking me?”

“Yes.”

I can provoke you or whatever. Hwang Dojun, if only you would disappear from my life. If only you would stop digging into me. If only I could stop this irritating headache and ringing in my ears.

Seoyeon stared straight at Dojun and said

“If I let you sleep with me once, get out of my life.”

His emotionless eyes slowly swept over her. For a moment, it seemed like there was a faint, mocking laughter in the air.

Dojun twisted her body and grabbed the other side of the table with his other arm. Seoyeon found herself trapped between Dojun and the island. Dojun, with both arms around Seoyeon, leaned in. Their faces drew closer.

“Miss Yoon Seoyeon.”

Dojun called Seoyeon softly. It was a gentle voice. So overly gentle that it sent shivers down her spine.

“It’s better not to say words you can’t handle.”

Words I can’t handle? What’s so great about s*x that I can’t handle it? I’ll forget it when I close my eyes and open them again. I can easily erase it all from my memory.

“Why, do you think I can’t do it?”

Seoyeon looked at Dojun and chuckled softly. 

No, I can do anything. Whether it’s s*x with you, marriage with Lee Sehyun, or a night with any random guy on the street. I can do it all. Right now, if need be.

“If you can.”

As much as you want. 

Dojun leaned in, his lips meeting Seoyeon’s.

Their lips pressed together painfully. Dojun’s tongue, thrusting recklessly into her open mouth, delved deeply. His invading tongue wrapped around Seo-yeon’s tongue. Despite her attempts to push him away, he held her firmly and sucked forcefully.

“Ugh…….”

Her back arched as she felt like everything was being sucked into him. Seoyeon pushed Dojun with all her might. Dojun, unfazed by her efforts, wrapped one hand around Seo-yeon’s long hair and pulled her close.

“It hurts…….”

Twisting her head, she struggled to breathe, but Dojun inevitably adjusted her chin towards him. Trapped by the island, there was nowhere to escape. Lips were nibbled and sucked until they felt numb. With her head tilted back and pressed against Dojun’s body, Seoyeon clutched his collar.

“Ugh…….”

The corners of Seo-yeon’s eyes flared red. She wanted to turn her head, but she couldn’t. Feeling like she was being sucked in entirely somewhere, she pushed him away while repeatedly clutching his collar. She didn’t know if he was satisfied or not, but he pulled his lips away and looked down at her.

His unruffled eyes gazed at her. Not a hair out of place on Dojun’s head, while Seoyeon was a mess. Disheveled hair, swollen lips, reddened eyes, gasping breath from the overwhelming kiss. A sense of humiliation surged like a rising tide.

“Are you…… satisfied now?”

Her voice trembled, but Seo-yeon turned to face Dojun. She thought the violent kiss was a kind of test. She glared at him, hoping it answered the question of whether she could handle it.

“Not even close.”

That’s all you’re satisfied with? 

A smirk played on Dojun’s lips as if mocking.

“We’ll finish the rest later tonight.”

Seoyeon said, looking down at her wristwatch. She was trembling inside, but she hoped her voice sounded casual. 

When would the banquet end? Where should I go? When should I say it?

Her thoughts were in disarray.

“We don’t have time to go far.”

Dojun said.

No way.

Just as she thought he wasn’t talking about now, she was suddenly turned around. Before she could say anything, Dojun’s large hand slipped into Seoyeon’s dress.

Seo-yeon’s eyes widened in horror. His fingers hooked near her waist, pulling down her underwear and stockings in one fell swoop. Her back was pressed down, and she was forced to lie face down on the island.

“Wait, wait, wait!”

Seoyeon shouted, trying to turn around. Dojun, holding onto her thigh, forcefully spread her legs. A cool breeze blew between her exposed legs. Seoyeon squirmed and twisted her body.

“Just a moment! Let go!”

“I clearly warned you.”

Dojun pressed down on Seoyeon’s shoulders. She struggled, but she couldn’t overcome his pressure. Seoyeon’s body was pinned down like a butterfly. The cold surface of the island touched her cheek.

“Let go!”

Seoyeon thrashed. The sound of music from downstairs. The wide-open space. A merciless man playing with her legs caught in stockings. Her mind went white with the fear that someone might come upstairs.

“Let go! I don’t want this!”

Dojun effortlessly flipped Seoyeon over as she struggled. Her vision shook as her back hit the island, and Dojun’s face loomed large.

“You can scream louder if you want. I don’t care if someone comes.” 

Dojun said, bending over. Seoyeon’s mind went blank at the thought of screaming and someone might come up. She desperately tried to swallow her voice and pushed Dojun away. When pushing didn’t work, she hit him. She scratched and twisted her legs.

I didn’t want this. Please stop. Please stop. I can’t handle this, I can’t handle this.
