Chapter 42
First Bonus Chapter (First Chapter from the Donation Specials)
Open.....
As soon as I woke up, I found myself tied to something solid.
I tried to move my body, but no matter how hard I tried, the only thing I could move was my head, along with the pain I felt whenever I tried to move.
Pressure.....
I turned to find bandages covering my entire body, and something extremely heavy pressing against my right side.
I tried to move, but that soft thing was too heavy for me to push away from my side.
Is there something this soft yet this heavy at the same time?
The soft thing kept pressing on my head, preventing my lungs from breathing.
"Ugh…" I said with a muffled voice.
As soon as I spoke those words, I felt the soft thing moving away from me, only to find a familiar girl.
"Did you finally wake up?" said Sylvia in a pale voice.
"Sylvia, why are you here?" I said with a trembling voice.
"....." Sylvia looked at me with tears filling her face.
"What happened—" And before I could finish my sentence, I felt a great pressure on my head, only to find myself in Sylvia's embrace.
"Ah-ha… crying," Sylvia continued crying while I had no idea what was happening.
I couldn't bring myself to ask her to move away in this state, even though executing the plan was important. But it wouldn't hurt to take a break, especially since I don't want to be a scumbag.
But there's something still bothering me in my mind.
First of all, why am I here… wasn't I supposed to be at the training center? And why is Sylvia here too?
I couldn't think of anything—just a bunch of fuzzy memories filling my head.
I tried to hold my temples, but as soon as I moved my hand, I felt a sharp pain flooding my body.
"Ughhh damn it.
Sylvia looked at me with concern before grabbing my hand and beginning to speak, "Hey Kim…please calm down. You really can't move right now. You need to get some rest."
"Haaah…" I sighed tiredly.
It's good that Sylvia is by my side right now, but I still don't know why I'm here.
"Hey Sylvia, can you tell me why I'm here? My mind is foggy right now, and I don't think I can remember anything."
Sylvia looked at me before walking to the table and starting to cut an apple sadly, then said,
"They found you unconscious next to the shattered wooden scarecrow… and as soon as they saw the miserable state you were in, they quickly transported you to the hospital."
"Shattered???" I said in surprise.
I don't think I even managed to scratch it, so how can they say it's shattered? Am I still dreaming? But the pain I felt when I woke up proved I wasn't.
I looked at Sylvia, who was peeling the apple and seemed happy, but I needed some time to clear my mind.
I didn't want my emotions to spiral out of control, so I had to calm down.
"Sylvia… please, can you give me some time alone?" I looked at Sylvia with a weary tone.
I know Sylvia isn't the foolish type.
She looked at me sadly before approaching and placing her hand on mine.
"Yes, I know you're mentally disturbed right now, Kim… but I have to tell you one thing." Sylvia looked at me with heart-filled eyes before continuing.
"I won't leave you again from now on. You'll stay with me until you die—no, forever," she said, and then I felt something around my neck, only to find it resembled a dog collar.
"Sylvia, what do you think you're doing now?" I didn't know why Sylvia was acting so strange, but I needed to get away from her right now. You could tell her mental state was far from stable.
"Sylvia, please…" I couldn't take it anymore.
The pain from Sylvia standing over me grew much stronger, but the most disturbing thing was the obsession I saw in her eyes.
"You have no idea how I felt when I learned you were in the hospital," said Sylvia, her face full of tears.
"Do you know how much pain I suffered during the three days you were unconscious?"
"But from now on, I promise you won't get hurt because you'll never leave me again. You'll be with me, and I'll protect you. Isn't that good for both of us?" said Sylvia with a possessive tone.
As soon as I heard her say that, I realized Sylvia was no longer the same. She was no longer the Sylvia I knew.
"Sylvia—cough" Before I could finish my words, I felt a sharp pain in my throat. I couldn't breathe from the coughing.
I looked up and saw a cup of water, but before I could grab it, I saw a pale white hand beat me to it.
Gulp….
Sylvia grabbed the cup and drank from it.
"Damn it." I felt a wave of anger, and I didn't notice the hand pulling me toward her.
Kiss…..
