Chapter 40

 

She tried to escape, but footsteps could be heard right up to the door.

 

Yoomin looked around frantically with a panicked face.

 

Then she ran toward the window.

 

Whether it would be possible to jump down from the second floor.

 

She didn’t have time to think about how badly she would get hurt if she jumped.

 

The important thing was not to get caught by those crazy people.

 

Creak-.

 

The moment she opened the window wide and looked down, Yoomin’s pupils shook violently.

 

Right below the window in the yard, two of Yun Bosal’s henchmen were standing and smoking cigarettes.

 

Soon they belatedly looked up at the sound of the window opening.

 

“Huh?!”

 

Her eyes met directly with the bald man’s.

 

It was the moment when the panicked Yoomin swallowed her breath roughly and stepped back from the window.

 

The door opened and a cold silence enveloped them.

 

Yoomin turned around stiffly like a broken doll.

 

Grandfather and Yun Bosal stood in front of the door, frowning as they looked at Yoomin.

 

“What are you doing.”

 

Grandfather broke the silence.

 

Yoomin forced out a voice that wouldn’t even come out.

 

“What about you, Grandfather.”

 

“….”

 

“…What exactly… are you doing to me.”

 

The end of her cracked voice trembled.

 

“Suji got badly hurt. This is all because of you.”

 

She thought he would at least make excuses asking what he was doing to her, but now there was none of that.

 

“I’ve been taking care of you for 15 years. After your mother and father died, I didn’t send you to an orphanage, fed you warm meals, and dressed you in good clothes just like Suji, so shouldn’t you repay that kindness.”

 

“I’m grateful that you took me in. I’ll repay the kindness in my own way, so don’t drag me into this crazy stuff.”

 

Yoomin was surprised at herself even as she spoke.

 

She didn’t know she could speak her mind so rationally like this.

 

It was probably because she knew that what Grandfather was doing was beyond common sense.

 

Yoomin took a few steps closer to the door.

 

And she tried to pass through between them, but Yun Bosal blocked Yoomin’s path and grabbed her shoulders tightly.

 

“People who don’t do their duty and live carelessly don’t live their full lifespan.”

 

Yoomin looked at the eerily long snake-like eyes and said.

 

“I’ll take care of my own lifespan, so let go.”

 

“Puha!”

 

Yun Bosal burst into an unpleasant laugh.

 

Soon he changed his expression eerily and gripped Yoomin’s shoulders even tighter. Her shoulders hurt as if they would be crushed.

 

“This bitch is really possessed by evil spirits.”

 

“Bosal!”

 

Then there was the sound of someone running up to the second floor with a crash, and soon his subordinates came running behind Yun Bosal.

 

If she got caught by this crazy cult shaman, she might really see terrible things.

 

Yoomin bit her lips tightly and glared at Grandfather.

 

At that moment, the sound of someone else coming up to the second floor was heard.

 

Footsteps at regular intervals. And an arrogant voice telling the subordinate employees to get out of the way.

 

It was Hong Suji.

 

The moment her eyes met Suji’s, Yoomin’s eyes widened beyond recognition.

 

One side of Suji’s cheek was wrapped in long gauze.

 

“Your face….”

 

When Yoomin asked in a panicked voice, Suji twisted her lips menacingly and shouted.

 

“It’s because of you! Because you kept acting up saying you won’t get married, I got cursed!”

 

Suji screamed at the top of her lungs.

 

Grandfather tried to comfort Suji by wrapping his arms around her shoulders, but Suji struggled like a crazy person, telling him to let go.

 

“It’s all because of that bitch! How can I get married like this! How am I supposed to live!”

 

That was the moment.

 

Suji took something out of her pocket.

 

Screaming breaths escaped from everyone’s mouths.

 

It was a box cutter.

 

“S, Suji!”

 

“You try it too!”

 

In an instant, Suji rushed at Yoomin with the knife.

 

Yoomin covered her face with her arms and crouched down.

 

She heard Grandfather shouting at the shaman.

 

“Bosal! Take her and quickly go to Suji’s room!”

 

“Let go! I’m going to make Hong Yoomin look exactly the same!”

 

When she slightly lowered her arms, she could see Grandfather blocking Suji with his whole body.

 

Taking advantage of that gap, Yun Bosal and his subordinates began forcibly dragging Yoomin away.

 

She resisted severely while being dragged to Suji’s room, but it was useless.

 

She had no way to match the strength of three men.

 

Moreover, she hadn’t even had water for several days, so she couldn’t exert any strength.

 

“Ugh!”

 

While Yoomin, who was thrown into the center of Suji’s room, couldn’t come to her senses, the door slammed shut.

 

Yoomin struggled to get up and tried to open the door.

 

No matter how much she turned and shook the doorknob, the door wouldn’t open.

 

Yoomin turned around and looked for a window.

 

But soon she saw the window blocked with nailed boards and let out a bitter laugh.

 

“Cra…zy, really….”

 

But she couldn’t give up.

 

She went back to the door and put her ear to it.

 

She could hear all the conversation sounds from the hallway.

 

“Bosal, Kim Byeongtae has arrived.”

 

“Already? Is everything prepared in the yard?”

 

“Yes. All preparations are complete.”

 

Did that mean they finished preparing for the ritual?

 

Yoomin’s eyes suddenly lit up as she was about to bite her lips with an anxious face.

 

If they held a ritual in the yard, there was a high probability that neighboring residents would report it.

 

Who these days holds a ritual ceremony in the middle of a Seoul neighborhood.

 

And in the evening like this. Complaints would definitely come in.

 

One strange thing was that Yun Bosal couldn’t have not thought that far.

 

What the hell was he scheming.

 

“Have you arrived.”

 

“Oh my, Owner. How could you. Coming like this during mourning. I should have visited you first….”

 

That was when.

 

Yoomin’s heart began to beat rapidly.

 

Kim Byeongtae had come up to the second floor.

 

“Never mind that. Bring that girl Hong Yoomin. The money I’ve offered because I need a woman to keep with me for life is over 2 billion.”

 

“Yes. She’s in that room over there.”

 

“What do I need to do when I go in? Pray to Father to let Hong Yoomin’s soul stay forever?”

 

“I’ll do that part. In the meantime, Owner, please go and form a bond as husband and wife with Hong Yoomin.”

 

“Damn it. So. You want me to go and play house with that bitch?”

 

“Yes. That’s right. At least consummate the marriage. What does it matter if the marriage registration is a bit late. Once the Ancestors see it, it’s all done.”

 

A chill ran down Yoomin’s spine and cold swept through her entire body.

 

Was this why they deliberately pushed Kim Byeongtae and herself inside and held the ritual outside? So any sounds that leaked out could be drowned out by the ritual noise?

 

Yoomin hurriedly pulled a chair from the desk and wedged it diagonally under the door handle.

 

At the same time, the door handle rattled and turned.

 

“This bitch locked the door?”

 

“I have the key. Just a moment.”

 

Following Kim Byeongtae’s voice, Grandfather’s voice came through.

 

While the chair she had blocked the door with bought her time, Yoomin went to the window. She tried hitting the wooden board with her elbow, but it didn’t budge and only hurt her arm.

 

Soon, along with rattling sounds, the knocking on the door suddenly became violent.

 

“Hong Yoomin! Open the door! Did you block the door?! Huh?! W-wait a moment, Owner?”

 

“Ha. This family is really driving me crazy. How can you not control one little bitch.”

 

Yoomin picked up Suji’s jewelry box from the desk and struck the wooden board.

 

However, since she hadn’t eaten anything, she had no strength at all.

 

Outside, the sound of subordinates striking the door with tools and kicking it could be heard.

 

Sensing that it wouldn’t be long before the door opened, Yoomin closed her eyes and thought.

 

Think, Hong Yoomin.

 

How to get out of this.

 

Should I just open the door, appease Kim Byeongtae, and secretly steal his phone?

 

Then should I call Jaejun?

 

No, wait. I don’t know Senior Jaejun’s contact number by heart…

 

No, it’s okay.

 

I can call Emergency Services.

 

As soon as Yoomin finished her resolve, there was a cracking sound and the area above the door handle broke through.

 

Soon an arm reached in and removed the chair that was hooked under the door handle.

 

It’s okay. Hong Yoomin, don’t be scared.

 

They say even if the ground caves in, there’s always a hole to emerge from.

 

Kim Byeongtae has his weak points, so I can somehow manipulate him well.

 

Don’t be too scared…

 

“…Sob.”

 

Perhaps because it was so heartbreaking. Tears suddenly poured out without her knowing.

 

Why did she have to be in such an absurd situation because of those crazy people.

 

She couldn’t understand why she had to suffer such terrible things.

 

What had she done so wrong.

 

She had only lost Mother early.

 

She had only endured and lived even when the Paternal Grandparents’ House made life difficult because of Father’s hospital bills. Why.

 

Bang-!

 

Cruelly, the door swung wide open and Yoomin squeezed her eyes shut.
