Chapter 21.1

"Hey, what are you...?"

"Is this the power of love? Ha... The smell of Hyeon-Woo. I love it."

Goosebumps ran down his spine.

He already knew that Yerin Lee was a stalker of her avid fans.

But there was a world of difference between just knowing that fact through forums and actually experiencing it in real life.

'How the hell did she get here? No, that's not what matters right now. I will have to send Lee Ye-rin back somehow.'

"Go away!"

"Oh! Hyunwoo. Why are you being so violent? Oh, are you surprised by my sudden visit, hehe?"

There was no malice in Lee Ye-rin's expression.

Rather, it was closer to a gaze one would show when looking at a thing they liked.

'That's what makes this scarier.'

"I must have told you to wait until I contacted you, no?"

"Didn't that just mean no contacting over the phone? You didn't tell me not to come visit you, so here I am. And it's because I missed you so much. Alright? This pretty me came here all by myself."

'Doesn't Lee Ye-rin dare to think that I will hate her for this?'

She looked at Lee Hyeon-woo with an expression as if confused.

'Yes, I admit she is pretty.'

Lee Ye-rin was the prettiest woman Lee Hyun-woo had ever seen in his adult life.

However, her beautiful appearance was only noticeable in ordinary situations.

But in creepy and frightening situations such as now, he couldn't give one shit about how she appeared.

"That's what I meant though. Since I wished not to see your face for a while, please go back home. I'll add another 5 more days of blocking you. Until I contact you again, don't call me, and especially don't visit me."

Lee Hyeon-woo turned his body around implying the end of the conversation, hoping Ye-rin would take the hint and leave the premises.

However, Lee Ye-rin tried to grab ahold of him, only to be pushed away by his hands.

"Why?! Why?! I'm trying to get you back! I came to apologise to you first! So please be nice to me!"

"Because I'm not in the mood right now! Go back!"

"No!"

Lee Hyeon-woo grabbed Lee Ye-rin's coat.

However, Ye-rin Lee quickly shook off her outerwear as if she were shedding skin like a snake, and then ran into the house through the open door.

But it was just a small studio that was less than 33 square metres.

In just a few steps, she would be caught up.

However, Lee Hyun-woo hadn't even needed to stretch out his hand anyway.

"Haha... Haha... There's another one eyeing my man to kill... That bitch wasn't the only one."

Lee Ye-rin, who had been moving swiftly, stopped in front of the computer screen.

And she spat out words full of murderous intent.

Until she arrived, Lee Hyeon-woo had been watching Yeojjing's broadcast.

Today's allocation of coins was 200,000 in 2 hours.

His coins were fired generously, and a festival was taking place in the fox's room.

It was a festival celebrating Hyunwoo Lee's generosity.

Yeojjing was adorning clothes that were full of Lee Hyun-woo's taste.

The nickname "Unemployed" was even scribbled on her chest and face.

Also, the wallpaper was plastered with Baeksu King's profile pic, and Lee Hyun-woo's ID was ranked first on the onscreen rankings.

'Kill?'

Did I just hear that right? I don't want to believe this, but unfortunately, I'm sure I heard it right.'

It was something that he wanted to dismiss as a joke. However, since the girl opposite him was exactly her, it didn't sound like a joke at all.

'Wouldn't it be murder if I just sent her back like this?'

Such uneasiness welled up within him.

"Hey, calm down for now."

"Hyunwoo. Tell me it straight. It's not only me you sponsoring is it? Are you also a patron of this sket?"

Lee Ye-rin looked at Lee Hyun-woo with eyes full of rage.

'Scary.'

Lee Hyeon-woo, who was a mere petit bourgeois until a few days ago, was unable to handle it.

'How do real rich people behave in these situations? I do not know.'

Lee Hyeon-woo realized that the rich had a gaze very much different to his old lifestyle, and so he was trying to act like that all this while.

However, he had never really learned or seen the psychology or behaviour of the real rich people, so he truly didn't know.

'I do know one thing though. If I break character here, this relationship where I have some hold over her will really break down.'

This wasn't just a fight for dominance anymore.

It was a fight for survival: to eat or to be eaten.

The plan to drag out the time and throw away Ye-Rin Lee when she was finally exhausted from his presence had to be scrapped.

He didn't know how she knew his home address, but if she could gain a hold of this sort of information and back up her action... Bread or the Fox could actually be killed.

And it was too dangerous for him to be optimistic that this would not take place.

Because Lee Ye-rin was indeed a crazy bitch.

And if Lee Ye-rin turned that hatred around, Lee Hyeon-woo could be in serious danger too.

So, this was a fight for survival.

Here, if Lee Hyun-woo overpowered and subdued Lee Ye-rin, everyone's safety would be guaranteed.

And if the opposite occurred...

'I don't even want to think about that happening.'

"Does it matter?"

Hyunwoo Lee raised his voice to assert dominance.

He left the goosebumps and the fear in the back of his mind.

And he brought out the emotions of being mad at Lee Ye-rin.

"What…?"

Lee Hyun-woo's expression, which was flustered previously, gradually distorted.

His brow furrowed, and his eyebrows rose.

Then, with only a corner of his mouth raised, a cold voice came out.

"I think I said it just yesterday, didn't I? Don't make me angry."
