Episode 63

My head was spinning. Kwon Tae-min’s chilling voice seemed to pierce sharply through my eardrums.

Instinctive fear bloomed from my toes and consumed me.

If I made a mistake, I would have to pay the price for it. That rule that had been particularly harsh and cruel only to me, that rule which had recently taken the form of violence again, seemed to make Kwon Tae-min standing before me look like a terrible monster.

Soon I could vaguely see Kwon Tae-min raising his other hand. That hand reaching toward me seemed both slow enough that I could see every movement of his fingertips, and too fast for me to dodge.

The hand caught by Kwon Tae-min trembled involuntarily. When that hand approached within inches of me, I reflexively squeezed my eyes shut and cowered.

“…Why are you trembling like this.”

A gentle touch wiped my philtrum. When I lifted my trembling eyelids, I could clearly see Kwon Tae-min’s face right in front of me where the system window had disappeared.

“It wasn’t vomiting blood, it was a nosebleed. Right?”

I moved my mouth blankly. Then suddenly, as if trying not to let him know I had been frightened, I widened my eyes and raised my voice.

“What reason would I have to suddenly vomit blood? Shit, you’re just cornering people without properly checking!”

“Sorry. I was worried, so I acted without thinking for a moment.”

“I really… What?”

Worried. That word I had seen in the system window in the hospital room on Saturday appeared again and lodged itself in my head.

Leaving me frozen, Kwon Tae-min naturally lowered himself in front of me. Then he pulled out some toilet paper from the roll hanging on the wall.

The rough bundle of tissue touched my philtrum and the corners of my mouth. Kwon Tae-min tried hard to press and rub away the bloodstains with infinitely gentle movements.

“Hey, can I ask you something?”

Kwon Tae-min suddenly spoke up. I was biting my tongue to swallow down my lips that were about to curl up when I felt cold fingertips rubbing my lower lip. Somehow noticing, Kwon Tae-min’s finger slowly penetrated and opened my mouth.

“What did you mean yesterday?”

I hesitated, about to push away the hand that was almost touching my tongue.

“About dying because of us.”

“…Whe, when did I. (When, when did I.)”

“I’ll admit the situation was too sudden for me to hear it 100% clearly. But it was definitely something like that.”

I looked down at Kwon Tae-min with wavering eyes, then shifted my gaze, drawn by the red light flashing beside us.

All words and actions that reveal the truths and realities of this world to subjects who become protagonists in novels are forbidden.

…Damn it. Consistently crazy bastards.

Chomp, I bit down hard on Kwon Tae-min’s thumb that had penetrated my mouth. Unlike other times, this time it seemed quite painful as the muscles around Kwon Tae-min’s eyes twitched.

Then I spat out that finger. Of course, it was more like Kwon Tae-min obediently withdrew his hand.

“You only picked out that part from everything I said yesterday? Should I personally repeat everything from start to finish for you?”

“…”

“Whatever you guys are plotting, I don’t need any of it so get lo…”

st. Before I could finish that word, my body floated up into the air.

‘Crazy, what the…!’

Kwon Tae-min’s arm supported my buttocks, and his other arm supported my back. It was a stable position, but that didn’t make the fear disappear. It was even more so in my current mentally fragile state.

I frantically grabbed Kwon Tae-min’s collar.

“You, you crazy lunatic…! You selfish bastard!”

I flailed my legs and hit Kwon Tae-min’s sides frantically. But it didn’t seem to have much effect on him.

Kwon Tae-min, who had been looking up at me with his face shadowed by my body, slowly turned around.

“Calm down. Getting worked up will only make your head hurt more.”

“Bullshit, do I look like I’m going to calm down? Restraining people like this…!”

“I’m going to the sink. The blood doesn’t seem like it’ll come off with just tissue.”

Kwon Tae-min left the stall and quickly reached the sink. Only after carefully confirming there was no water on its surface did he set me down on the spacious area.

Soon he carefully guided my blood-soaked hand.

Lukewarm water flowed and wet my hand. Then Kwon Tae-min rubbed and washed various parts of my hand.

I stared at Kwon Tae-min with a subtly distorted expression. Then when his gaze left my hand and touched me, I flinched in surprise and trembled.

“What, what why. Shit, what am I supposed to do.”

“Why do you keep trembling? Are you cold?”

Kwon Tae-min asked quietly and took off his school uniform jacket before I could answer. Then he personally draped it over my shoulders. He didn’t care that the edges of the jacket were getting wet from the sink’s moisture.

I was about to take off that jacket and throw it away, but my body froze again before that. It was because Kwon Tae-min’s hand, wet with warm water, brushed my philtrum.

“Yu Baek-hwa, don’t you take vitamins or anything?”

“Whether I eat vitamins or chew grass from the street, that’s my business.”

“Well, you skip meals all the time, so there’s no way you’d consistently take vitamins…”

I couldn’t tell if he was deliberately muttering for me to hear. But since it was certain that Kwon Tae-min was making me feel pretty shitty, my foot impulsively shot out and struck Kwon Tae-min’s side.

As expected, Kwon Tae-min didn’t even stagger for a moment. I was quietly cursing when his characteristically deep pupils stared straight at me. At my reflexive flinching, he quickly lowered his eyes.

“Do you think I’d retaliate against you? Like hitting you… or something like that?”

Kwon Tae-min wet his hands again and this time wiped under my chin.

“There’s no way I’d try to hit you, Yu Baek-hwa.”

“…Don’t make assumptions on your own. Do you think I’m trembling in fear of you, of bastards like you?”

Even as I said that, I was aware that my body was flinching intermittently. But my fiercely babbling mouth wouldn’t stop.

“I’m just, like you said, cold…!”

“Still, if you keep getting startled and scared, it’ll strain your body. So wouldn’t it be better to just stay still.”

The corners of my eyes twitched involuntarily.

“I’m not telling you not to hit me. Yu Baek-hwa, if you want to curse or hit me, that’s fine, but you shouldn’t overdo it with your already weak body…”

“Don’t bullshit me. Do I look like an invalid who’d break if you touched me?”

Kwon Tae-min, who had been staring at me after pausing his touch, moved his hand again. Unlike before when he only wiped the surrounding skin, his persistent finger was now blatantly rubbing around my mouth, so I couldn’t snap back and kept my mouth shut.

‘This crazy bastard is doing this on purpose, isn’t he?’

I gripped Kwon Tae-min’s wrists tightly with both hands. Even when I tried to push him away from me, as always, my wish didn’t come true.

I bit my lip and glared at Kwon Tae-min.

“…The blood isn’t coming off easily.”

“…”

“Close your eyes for a moment. I’ll wipe it off quickly.”

I couldn’t understand why I needed to close my eyes when he was wiping bloodstains from my lower face. I struggled, furrowing my brow, but it was meaningless.

Only after what felt like more than ten minutes did Kwon Tae-min’s touch finally stop. When that hand that had been rubbing as if to erase every bit of waste on my face finally disappeared, I let out a big breath that I’d been holding uncomfortably.

However, Kwon Tae-min still showed no signs of tiring.

“Can you lift your arms for a moment?”

I scrunched up my face.

“Fuck, why. Why again.”

“There’s blood on your sleeves. Let’s change your clothes.”

I let out a hollow laugh from disbelief. Then when Kwon Tae-min seemed determined to unbutton my shirt, I slapped away his persistent hands with a smacking sound.

“Are, are you crazy? You… just because I’ve been cursing at you so much, have you really become a pervert?”

“What are you talking about.”

“Why are you trying to undress me without permission! This is sexual harassment, you criminal bastard!”

“You have to take off clothes to change into new ones. If you go around looking like that, not just us but other people will worry too.”

My roughly shaking eyes quickly filled with vicious distrust.

“Bullshit. Why would other people be crazy enough to care about me? Maybe they’d gossip behind my back.”

“…The teachers care about you a lot.”

The corners of my eyes twitched.
