Chapter 54: Honeymoon (Part 9)

My eyes widened in disbelief.

"Hey! W-What are you thinking of making me do, huh?"

I covered my body, wary that he might ask for a... night service. He wouldn’t ask that, would he? He said he’s not interested in "that," so... I should be safe, right?

"Hmmm... I wonder," he said teasingly as his lips curved in a mischievous grin. "What do married couples do at night?"

"What the—NO WAY! I thought you said you don’t like those kinds of stuff, and you find them disgusting?! Why are you suddenly—NO! Not in a million years! Y-You... perverted lewd beast!"

His eyebrows arched in a sly manner.

"What a funny new nickname," he chuckled. "But I think that suits you more since you’re the one who’s thinking so lewdly."

I squinted my eyes at him.

"Don’t tell me you’re just leading me on again? Hah! You never fail to remind me how hateful you are, huh?" I scoffed. "Stop saying words with double meanings."

"You’re the one who’s giving it double meanings, not me."

"Ugh. Whatever. Just tell me what you want, BOSS."

He then raised his arm and wrapped it around my neck. In that position, he pulled me to walk toward his room. What the heck?!

"Hey! Where are you taking me?!"

"To my room, of course. Let’s sleep together, my dear wife. That’s your punishment. You can call it divine retribution."

"I thought you hated sleeping with me? Why are you asking me to do that? Don’t tell me you’re so keen on punishing me that you don’t care about your preferences anymore?"

"You can say that."

He continued pulling me until we were inside his room.

"Hey, stop! I said NO!"

I tried to break free, but he was stronger than me. Ugh. This sucks.

Soon enough, we were near his bed, and he tossed me like a piece of luggage on the bed! The nerve of this guy! He’s really pissing me off!

"Time to sleep, my dear wife," he smirked again.

Then, he unbuttoned his shirt and changed to his sleeping robe—in front of me! How shameless! Of course, I averted my eyes. I’m not a pervert who’s interested in his body. Besides, I already saw—ugh, stop it, Kim Ye-Ji. What are you thinking?

’Right. This is my chance to run.’

I quickly got up from bed and ran towards the exit when suddenly, a pair of strong arms held me by my waist and tossed me to his shoulders, only to be put back to bed again.

"Urgh... I don’t want to sleep with you so let me go!"

"It’s not punishment if you like it, right?" he teased. "So you better shut up and sleep before I strangle you."

"Maybe I should strangle you in your sleep? Or better yet, kill you."

I glared at him with all my might, but he just laughed at me as if he knew I would never do it.

"I’m serious, you know! Are you sure you want to sleep—"

"I’m tired, so could you please shut up? If you don’t, I’ll make you shut up using my own methods you probably won’t like."

I wanted to refute him more, but I realized it would be a meaningless conversation, so I just sighed and let the issue drop. Besides, it’s not like it’s the first time I’m sleeping with him on the same bed.

Deciding on that, I took a pillow and embraced it, then slumped my body on the bed, opposite his direction. As I shut my eyes close, I felt his hands pulling my arms, and making me let go of the pillow I was hugging.

"Now, what do you want?" I snapped. "I’m trying to get some sleep already."

"You’re not sleeping like that."

"How else should I sleep?"

Then, he pulled me closer to him and hugged me!

Tons of questions poured into my mind at once.

’Asdfghjkl! What is wrong with this guy? What’s got into him? Why is he suddenly acting like this? Did my partner get swapped with an entirely different person when I wasn’t looking? Is this still him or someone else disguised as him? There’s no way he would—’

"Uhm..."

As I pondered the reason for his weird actions, I heard his subtle breaths signifying he was already asleep. That was fast. Was he that tired? Oh well. Whatever. I should get some rest, too. I’m beat.

Just like that, we fell asleep, with me curled up in his embrace. Ugh. I couldn’t believe he was treating me like a pillow for a payback. I’ll make sure to remember this and get my revenge.

[The following day...]

The next morning, I woke up to the voices of our maids and assistants trying to wake us up.

’Hm? Why are they here? I thought we would be alone on this fake honeymoon trip?’

I tried to open both of my eyes, but I was still sleepy. It wasn’t until I felt my body getting cold that I got up and woke up from the horrid truth to the point that all my sleepiness went away.

’M-My clothes... What in the world happened last night?! WAAAA!!! I was wearing a dress and a top when I slept. Why is it gone, and why am I only in my lingeries right now?!’

Suspicious of the devil beside me, sleeping peacefully, my eyes quickly turned to him and scanned his whole body. I lifted the blanket, and as expected, he was almost naked like me and only wore dark boxer shorts!

’Relax, Kim Ye-Ji. There’s no way something happened. Think carefully. Why will you suddenly wake up in this state?’

I breathed in and exhaled deeply, trying to guise it as a yawn so as not to alarm our maids and assistants. After giving it much thought and knowing how this devil partner of mine thinks, he probably took our clothes off to fool everyone that we had sex last night. We were supposed to be on our honeymoon, so that would make sense.

’Yeah, that’s right. So basically, it’s for the mission. But still... I’m so angry right now I want to kill him! How dare he take off my clothes without telling me?! Does that mean h-he saw everything?! Wraaaaa!!!’

"Madam," the head maid called me back to reality, "you must be surprised to see us here."

"Ahh... yes, that’s right. What happened?"

"Master Eun-Woo messaged us yesterday informing us of what happened. He was worried about you, so he asked us to prepare the private plane and pack your things so you can fly to another country as soon as possible and continue your honeymoon there."

"I see. Thank you for responding quickly. Where are we going, though?"

"Here it is, madam," she said while handing me a tablet that showed a detailed itinerary for the rest of our honeymoon. "These are the best tourist spots in the world that you will surely enjoy."

She explained everything carefully while the others got busy packing our things and preparing everything we needed. Breakfast was already prepared, along with the clothes we would wear for the day, shoes and accessories we would put on, and the luxurious bag I would use. Truly, they were all remarkable servants.

I smiled at them like the lovely housewife I’m supposed to be. Then, I turned to Eun-Woo and woke him up gently.

"Husband," I called him dearly even if I wanted to puke so bad, and my anger at him was to the brim. "Wake up."

For all I know, he was just pretending to sleep. There’s no way a top agent such as him wouldn’t be awake with all that noise and ruckus.

As expected, he woke up at my call. Such a top-notch actor. He even pulled me close to give me a sweet morning kiss, to which some of the maids giggled.

’Oh, please. If you all only knew how much I wanted to punch your master in the face.’

"Good morning, my wife," he smiled sweetly at me.

"Good morning," I smiled back.

"Do you like my surprise?"

"Hm? You mean the sudden change in our itinerary?"

"Ha-ha. Yes. Sorry I had to change it at the last minute."

"It’s alright. The head maid already explained it to me."

"Good."

We exchanged sweet nothings for a few more minutes, then got up and prepared. Hours passed, and soon enough, we were at the airport, boarding their private plane. The inside was as beautiful and luxurious as the first one we used to get here.

For some reason, they owned so many private planes, even if it was just him and his dad. They should have just bought two, enough for them. I wonder what the others were used for? For their employees? Oh well, what would a commoner like me know about the ways of the rich?

Once seated, they turned the television on to play the latest news for us.

"A scandal involving the daughter of the renowned Mr. Roy Choi was released last night by an anonymous group despite their family’s great efforts in concealing it," the reporter said. "The said daughter, Ms. Ma-Ri Choi, known for her love of men, made a mistake by targeting the only son of Mr. Jeon Young-Jae, owner of Jeon Holdings. What’s worse is that this son recently got married and was on their honeymoon when the scandal happened! Here is the full video released by the anonymous group."

The news anchor then showed a clear video of what happened yesterday.

As I watched it, I think I finally understood why Agent Helios suddenly began acting unlike himself last night.
