MR. Jeon, The Heart Bandit | L.K Adaptation

Chapter 196: Side Story 2

The floor was a mess when Jin arrived.

Clear signs of a struggle.

He slowly moved and unwittingly stepped on a hand his eyes traced the body to find a huge man with a dagger sticking out of his back and bleeding freely.

Ahead, there was another man with his eyes tightly shut and bleeding from his forehead. He must have been knocked unconscious with a blunt object.

Slap----

That was when a curse and a slap echoed from inside the house. "Shit, the little whore actually hurt my bros! You're getting it from me!"

"No....No! I beg you! Don't touch me!"

Jin promptly kicked down the door. Jisoo was already stripped naked as the man was about to get into the main event still, he quickly zipped up his pants and approached the glowering Jin with his fists raised when he noticed him.

Jin's glared sharpened. He caught the punch and diverted it, but the man had some training too, and reacted quickly to attempt tripping Jin with his leg.

The two men wrestled.

The man was strong and was large, but Jin was strong despite looking disadvantaged.

He was ruthless too. Grabbing a vase behind him, he smashed it heavily over the man's head.

The glass shattered, with some shards entering the man's eyes.

"Aaaaargh! My eyes!"

The man was immediately bleeding from his eye sockets and rolling on the floor.

Meanwhile, Jisoo was in her bed, pale-white and seemingly lifeless.

Jin pulled the bedsheet over her but she evaded him even as she shivered.

Nonetheless, he wrapped his arms around her and tenderly said, "Let's go".

Jisoo freely allowed his embrace then, her eyes remaining distant her cheeks were bruised and swollen and her lips were torn.

There were also marks over her fair skin where one of the men strangled her.

Still, she had stabbed someone to protect her virtue it was hard to imagine that a girl like her could do so much with several men breaking in.

Jin took her back to his house prepared warm bathwater and took off the bedsheet, before carefully putting her in the bathtub.

She was like a soulless doll, allowing him to do anything he liked.

She curled herself into a tight ball as she soaked in the warm water mumbling with an empty look.

"I....killed someone....I killed someone...."

"You didn't" Jin whispered crouching before her. "That was righteous self-defense".

Jisoo looked up to find a rare tenderness in his face and asked blankly. "Really?"

"Really".

Her tears quickly flowed and she started bawling, melancholically and hysterically.

But she cried, she suddenly plunged deep into the tub and beneath the waterline.

Jin panicked and pulled her out with a gush, and she coughed a few times.

"You're crazy!"

"I am crazy!" She yelled back, "I'm so pathetic I should Just die!"

"What about the people who cared about you?"

Jisoo laughed out loud, before promptly stopping to mock herself. "My own father sold me off to pay his debt and let those men have me as they wished. Who the hell cares about me? Who? Who!?"

Jin's eyes reddened when he remembered her naked self that was about to humiliated.

"I care". He said, putting weight behind both words.

Jisoo was surprised, her tears continuing to flow. "Are you giving me your sympathy? I don't need it".

She stood up with those words, pulling a towel to wrap around herself.

Jin stood up too. "How could I prove that I care?"

Jisoo turned around to face him. "Help me to forget everything".

With those words, she freed her hand, her white towel falling beneath her feet.

Jin stepped up, picked her up and flung her into soft sheets, his burning kiss striking her.

Incidentally, her first time was with him.

As things transpired, he whispered beside her ear. "I'm so found of you, Kim Jisoo".

"Me too...." She replied. warm tears filling her eyes.

And very much so.

****

Four in the afternoon.

The winter day had already gone dark.

Jisoo tossed around, her hip and feet aching even as she tunneled into Jin's arms.

He checked the time and asked a little hoarsely. "Does it still hurt?"

She nodded shyly.

Jin chuckled. "A few times more and it won't hurt anymore".

"Jerk!" She punched him albeit feebly.

They were laying down and he was without his glasses, although his gaze was at once distant but mesmerizing when he squinted at her.

"Jisoo".

He called her name tenderly.

"Hmmmm?" She looked up.

"Let's get married". His arms reached beneath her hips to hold her. "I'll take responsibility".

Jisoo was a little upset. "You only thought of marrying me out of responsibility?"

"Of course not, I marry you because I'm found of you....and you're already mine".

Jisoo was a young girl with a maiden heart a woman, to be precise, so she naturally couldn't accept such a proposal.

She even complaining inwardly: he is definitely President Jeon's friend with that sloppy proposal.

Really....

"You have to propose somewhere super amazing. I'll only say yes then".

Jin nodded. "Fine. I promise".

Jisoo could hardly stop smiling when her heart skipped a beat "W-what If I get pregnant?"

"Deliver if you want it, abort if you don't".

"...."

She shoved him, "So you're that type of man! Scumbag!"

Jin was almost pushed to the floor, and helplessly held her in return. "So, are you going to give me a child?"

"No!"

"You don't want it, and you don't allow me to say no. How difficult are you going to make things for the kid?"

"...."

Jisoo had nothing to offer in retort.
