Chapter 69.2

"Is it? How did you know she had a boyfriend?"

"Huh? I heard it from everyone. Uh, hey, Hyeon-Woo?"

Hyunwoo Lee got up from where he lay.

The hand that had been touching his penis naturally came off of it.

Lee Hyeon-woo then grabbed Ye-rin's chin.

"The wound on your face hasn't healed yet. Then, I guess I should go with your buttocks today."

"Eh? Wait, what? Wait for a moment. Hyunwoo, why are you doing that again? I didn't do anything wrong! Really! I didn't even come to see you, and I didn't even contact you!"

"That might change if I was to investigate it I imagine. If you lie from now on, you will be punished with ten slaps on the ass. Tell me things straight."

"Hey, I hate that. Why again? I was being really good!"

"Then where did you hear about Jeong So-rim's boyfriend?"

"Didn't I tell you that I heard it from basically everyone?"

"Do you think people wouldn't keep such information close at hand, let alone let everyone find out about it? Let alone a streamer. That's ten slaps. What are you doing? Why aren't you taking off your clothes yet? Take off your panties and stick out your butt."

Lee Hyeon-woo saw through Lee Ye-rin's lies instantly.

He wouldn't have been able to tell if she was not suspicious, but as long as he was already suspicious of Lee Ye-rin, her lies would not work.

"No! It's not really a lie!"

"Again, you lied. Twenty slaps. Didn't I tell you not to lie?"

Lee Ye-rin tried to force through the idea that she hadn't been lying.

However, after his 'twenty', she realised she did not want to be punished by Lee Hyun-woo.

Her head spun rapidly, thinking up a solution.

'Why did this happen?'

She had clearly been meaning to shake off Jung So-rim from off of Lee Hyeon-Woo.

'No, that's not important right now.'

She would have to be educated by Lee Hyeon-woo again.

'Scary. I hate being hit. Should I run away?

No, if I do that, Lee Hyeon-woo might not want to see me for the rest of his life. I hate that idea even more.'

"It's not a lie- schup!"

A lie came out of her mouth instinctively.

Lee Ye-rin quickly shut her mouth to stop the words from rolling out again.

It was because Lee Hyun-woo's expression was damn scary.

'Let's not grow the punishment by telling more lies. I'll just be honest.'

"I-I'm sorry. I was wrong. I won't lie anymore. So please forgive me. Please! I don't want to get hit again. I really hate feeling pain."

This time she was being 100% sincere.

Tears fell from her eyes.

"Then answer me. How did you find out that Jung So-rim has a boyfriend?"

"Ah.... You, you, did you already know that she has a boyfriend!?"

Lee Hyun-woo was not shaken at all by the fact that she had a boyfriend.

Observing his reaction, Lee Ye-rin realised something—

Hyunwoo Lee already knew everything.

She was shocked.

'And yet he is still supporting Jung So-rim?'

"Whether I know it or not isn't what's important right now. How did you know? This is the fourth time I'm asking."

"That..."

Lee Ye-rin looked here and there while thinking of what to say.

However, no matter how much she worked her brain, she couldn't think of a way to get out of this situation.

So if she didn't want to get hit more, she would have to be honest.

"Actually, I went to Jeong So-rim's house.... I was going to investigate her.... Then I saw a man coming out of Jung So-rim's house. I also saw him going back in..."

"Ha.... Fuck."

It was a situation that called for him to curse out loud.

Lee Hyun-woo did not fake his feelings this time and spat out the swear word.

It was a really fucked up situation.

Seriously, he felt like disposing of Lee Ye-rin in that very instant.

But contrary to what his heart was telling him to do, he had no way of actually doing so.

The first time he met Lee Ye-rin he had not felt safe around her.

He had thought of several ways to deal with her.

But he had no way of keeping himself and those around him safe while separating from her.

It wouldn't matter if he separated from Lee Ye-rin if she was a little less crazy than he knew her to be.

'But what if this crazy bitch actually gets into a real knife fight?'

As long as there was even a 1% chance of that happening, she could not be cut off or discarded as he wished.

So he would have to educate her.

So, he would have to keep her close to him.

"What about the other girls?"

"Uh...? Other girls?"

"Don't pretend you don't know. Spring Summer, Yeojjing, Bread, and Park Ha-neul. Didn't you investigate those four people? Tell me and don't lie. If you lie, I will be able to tell from your face."

'Does it really show on my face?'

Lee Ye-rin shuddered in fear.

At the same time, feelings of happiness welling up from within her gave her goosebumps.

Other people wouldn't notice her acting, but Lee Hyun-woo was different.

This was surely because they both loved each other.

As much as Lee Ye-rin knew Lee Hyeon-woo inside out, she was sure he understood her through and through.

He cared about her as much as she did him.

'If only it wasn't for this situation! I would have hugged you and showered you with kisses!'

"Actually.... I did investigate them too...."

"How? Tell me how in detail. Don't miss anything out."

"That is...."

Lee Ye-rin explained in detail the methods she had used so far to investigate the female streamers that Lee Hyun-woo was dating.

Lee Hyeon-woo's expression hardened more and more with every word.

"You know that was the wrong thing to do, right?"

"Yes! Sorry! I was wrong!"

"That's a lie again. You're in the thirties now."

"Why!? Why? I didn't lie!"

"That is a lie too. If you knew you were wrong, you wouldn't have done it. But you don't have the mental capacity to realise that. It's fine anyway. I will educate you so that you will one day live a good life. Take off your panties and get on the bed."

She had told him the truth about all her mistakes, yet Lee Hyeon-woo's expression did not change.

'Weird. Shouldn't I be forgiven if I did something wrong?'

Lee Ye-rin quickly knelt down in front of Lee Hyun-woo.

"I told you everything I did wrong. I won't mess around anymore! Really! So forgive me! I'm begging you to forgive me for doing something bad!"

"If you do something bad, you have to be punished to be forgiven. If you kill someone and say you're sorry, would that just be the end of it? Now quickly climb onto the bed. If you don't like it, you can leave the room right now."

The angry Lee Hyeon-Woo came out again.

'Should I endure this painful and scary experience? Or should I lose all contact with Lee Hyun-woo?'

Among the two choices, Lee Ye-rin had only one she would choose.
