“Now it will be easier.”

The man who said this laughed.

“No!”

She attempted to run towards Gwangmyeong when someone grabbed her waist from behind.

“Where are you going? You have to play with us.”

Jumi struggled to free herself from the man’s tight grip on her waist. In her desperation, she scratched the man’s neck.

“Don’t touch me. You jerk.”

“You’re annoying. Yoongyo eats you while beating you? Look at this bitch’s tits. Yoongyo should share the good things he has.”

The man’s hand moved toward her chest as he brought his nose close to her ear. She took a deep breath. One of his hands reached under her dress, moving to her stomach. She couldn’t believe he had the audacity to touch her.

Jumi instinctively slapped the man’s face. She bit him with all her strength, as if she wanted to tear his skin off. The man screamed.

She tasted the strong metallic flavor of blood in her mouth. It had a foul smell.

She tried to escape while the man was distracted.

They began to laugh.

“Leave her. Let’s see how far she goes. Look how that girl’s breasts are shaking.”

Jumi ran without even knowing where the mountain entrance was.

The men simply laughed as they watched her flee. Their demeanor exuded superiority, as if they had anticipated this moment.

“Ah!”

She tripped over a rock and hugged the tree in front of her. She resumed walking despite the pain in her toes. She walked until she stopped, realizing she had forgotten something important. She couldn’t leave Gwangmyeong. Even if she couldn’t save him, she couldn’t bear to abandon him.

She would have returned as many times as necessary, but circumstances had changed. Now, she was not alone—there was also a baby in her womb. A baby who would soon see the outside world.

Suddenly, someone grabbed her shoulder. She frantically shoved the man away.

“Let go of me, you bastard!”

She fell to the ground as she struggled to escape. The man whispered to her,

“I think you should pay his debts with your body.”

Jumi tried to crawl away like a four-legged animal, but he grabbed her ankle.

“Let go of me!”

The smiling man disappeared. No, he didn’t disappear—Yoongyo stabbed him with a dagger. She heard his deafening scream.

It only lasted a few seconds. A fleeting moment. Compared to the long period of fear she had endured, the time it took for the opponent to die was brief. It was an easy task. Trivial for him.

After punishing the man, Yoongyo’s facial expression remained unchanged. The blade, with precise aim, was directed toward the back of the man’s neck without deviating even a millimeter, showcasing unwavering determination.

A man elegantly dressed in a suit that clashed with the mountainous surroundings. A woody scent that suited his body. He seemed to hold an important position, though it wasn’t certain.
