Transmigrated as the Side Top used as an Emotional Trash Can - Chapter 24.1
“Ack! Uuuuh……!”
So terrified that my hair stood on end, I tore my eyes away from the screen and saw Cha Gwonhyeok tilt his head and open his arms. The desperate urge to have him hide me surged up, and I nearly burrowed into his embrace, but,
Flop.
“Ah, this is fucking terrifying.”
Kim Jihwan dove into Cha Gwonhyeok’s arms one step ahead of me. At the sight, I forgot all about my fear and covered my mouth in overwhelming emotion.
“Gasp…!”
Cha Gwonhyeok’s eyes widened as though he was flustered for a moment. Then he quickly composed himself, smiled, and patted Jihwan comfortingly.
“Aigoo- Were you scared-? You were-?”
“…….”
In an instant, a cozy scene between Kim Jihwan and Cha Gwonhyeok unfolded. I became a little excited and made a fuss.
“Jihwan isn’t the type to just throw himself into anyone’s arms-.”
Bang!
“Bleeergh! Gaaack! Uuugh!”
The moment I let my guard down, the movie hit me with a double ghost attack. Letting out a bizarre scream, I hugged them like a sandwich with Kim Jihwan between Cha Gwonhyeok and me.
“…Is it gone? Is it dead?”
The ghost appeared, and the movie went quiet for several dozen seconds. Even so, I couldn’t lift my head. I squeezed my eyes shut and couldn’t pull my face away from Jihwan’s shoulder and Cha Gwonhyeok’s chest.
“Guys. What happened…? Hm?”
Neither the movie nor the boys made a sound. Kim Jihwan and Cha Gwonhyeok had been pressed even closer together because of me, and I could feel both of them tensing, but unfortunately, it wasn’t easy to pull away.
I want to leave the two of you alone and get out of here too. Please.
“…….”
“…….”
The suffocating silence between them.
I grew anxious, feeling like an unwanted foreign object between them.
Chirp, chirp, chirp.
Vroom-.
When I cautiously raised my eyes at the sounds that clearly suggested the movie had returned to everyday life, it was showing the ‘brief return to normalcy after the commotion’ scene. Usually, this was followed by a full-speed charge toward the worst possible climax, but there should be nothing but peaceful scenes for about five minutes, at least.
“Phew….”
I quickly pulled away and readjusted my grip on the cup of salt water. I had already inconvenienced them enough. From now on, I should focus solely on catching the seeker.
Snatch!
“Why do you keep holding water you aren’t even drinking?”
After leaving Gwonhyeok’s arms, Jihwan took the glass from my hand, where the water had been rippling anxiously. No, he usually didn’t care what I was holding, so why was he acting like this today? Did he think I was going to break it?
“Give it back. I’m going to drink it….”
“Cut the bullshit and stop acting tough. What are you doing in someone else’s house? Let’s go home.”
It was a tempting suggestion.
Kim Jihwan’s cold hand grabbed my forearm and tried to pull me to my feet. For a moment, his touch made me consider reluctantly standing up and going home.
Sliiide- Thud!
“……!”
A sound came from somewhere inside the spacious house.
“What was that? Is someone else in your house?”
“The housekeeper stepped out for a moment to pick up her granddaughter from school.”
Kim Jihwan asked Cha Gwonhyeok, but even Cha Gwonhyeok, the owner of the house, didn’t know.
It wasn’t the movie. This time, it was real.
“I’ll go check.”
I moved Kim Jihwan behind me and stepped forward.
Just in case, I filled my mouth with salt water too.
“Mm….”
I walked down the hallway and reached the study. The door was open, but there was no sign of anyone inside.
The dark study had its lights turned off. There were hardly any decorations, and only books and a desktop computer had been placed there in a simple, practical arrangement. I thought it was more modest than expected, but then I saw that the pen lying carelessly on the desk was from Montbl*nc and once again felt the insane aura of wealth.
When I looked at the floor, I saw a book lying there. Had it made the sound when it fell? I picked up the fallen book that appeared to be the culprit behind the commotion.
“……?”
When I looked at it, something resembling a child’s scribble had been scrawled near the subtitle.
Among the letters, ‘L,’ ‘o,’ and ‘l’ were especially emphasized.
Lo… l…?
The seeker was picking a fight with me right now, wasn’t it?
“Want to borrow the book?”
As I gradually grew irritated by the seeker’s provocation, Cha Gwonhyeok spoke from behind me. Since my mouth was still full of salt water, I silently shook my head. When Cha Gwonhyeok came closer and looked at the book with me, the scribbles vanished as though they had evaporated, restoring the page to its original printed state.
So you really were picking a fight with me, you bastard. You want to do this?
