I Was Kidnapped By a Yandere Writer

Chapter 10

“I have to punish you…”

Eun-ah said as she put down the tray she had on her knees.

“I’ll… I’ll punish you… I’ll punish you…”

Eun-ah turned her head and looked at me. The glowing eyes that did not show even a handful of emotions and the pale skin that showed blood vessels gave off a corpse-like atmosphere.

– Gulp.

Dried saliva passed down my dry throat as a result of the tension. Was it because my stomach was full and the tension had been released? It was a disaster caused by a momentary lapse of judgment. I opened my mouth in a pleasant tone, trying to ignore the rising fear.

“Haha, I made a mistake. I said it because I felt like I was giving you too much trouble.”

“…”

“I have to brush my teeth! If I don’t, I’ll get cavities, right?”

“…”

“…Miss Eun-ah?”

The silence continued to follow.

Eun-ah’s gaze was fixed on me. Her cold stare and suffocating silence choked my throat, telling me that this situation was no joke.

How much time had passed? My frightened gaze dropped to the floor and remained there for a long time. Finally, Eun-ah’s mouth, which had been tightly shut, opened.

“Ah… no… you… are a bad boy…”

It was a stuttering tone like usual, but I felt a distinctly different atmosphere from the tone that I heard earlier.

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry.”

Fear overcame me once again. My mouth naturally spewed out words of apology and the will of submission.

“I made a mistake. I’m sorry.”

“Yeah… sorry… You should be sorry…”

After answering with a nod, Eun-ah moved her body and approached me.

– Swish.

Eun-ah’s hand landed on my thigh.

– Flinch.

The rising fear made my body vibrate. The hand, which started to tremble, could hardly follow the control of my mind.

“I was wrong… just once…”

I didn’t even have time to think about how to get out of the situation. My mouth only spat out words of apology. I looked up at her with a trembling gaze, but her cold gaze only made me harden like a frog in front of the snake.

While listening to the apology, Eun-ah’s head moved left and right.

“Ah… No… If I don’t punish you, the habit… will get worse…”

Eun-ah’s hands, which had rested on my thighs, moved once more and headed for the bounded wrists.

“Everything… everything… it’s for the sake of Mr. bee…”

With a sharp scratch, Eun-ah’s fingertips, full of strength, began to scrape hard as if digging down the inside of my wrist.

“Stop it!”

The pain was overwhelming. It was so painful that I wondered if my wrist would be pierced.

“Why… why… do… don’t you listen…?”

– Crick

“I… I don’t want to do this either…”

– Crickkkk

“If You… act like a bad boy, oh… it won’t work…”

– Crickkkk

“It’s… it’s… Because of love… I’m going to put up with it…”

– Crickkk

“I… I’m hurting as much as Mr. Bee…”

– Crickkk

“But… I’m reflecting…”

Creepy murmurs rang in my ears, the pain of skin being ripped from my wrists. The sound of friction between fingernails and skin. These three things mixed together and began to consume my spirit.

Words of apology came out of my mouth intermittently. It seemed like my throat was choking on its earnestness. It felt as if my whole skin would be ripped off.

How much time had passed?

In the midst of fear and pain, I felt a different kind of pain rising up from my wrist.

– Stab!

I had the illusion that I had heard a stabbing sound. My mouth fell open and I screamed in agony.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

It felt like my wrists had been torn off. As my pupils moved to find out the true nature of the pain, Eun-ah’s words sounded in my ears.

“Oh, it’s blood.”

I looked at Eun-ah’s wrist at the sound of her voice.

Eun-ah’s fingertips were soaked in blood. Behind it, several red lines ran down my own wrist, following the trajectory of her fingernails. After checking my wounds, I screamed again with my eyes widening as if they were about to tear.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

“Ah… does it hurt…?”

‘Of course, it hurt. It hurt so much that I felt like I was going to die. No, I’m going to die. If no action was taken, I would bleed to death.’

“Sav… save me… please… I didn’t mean to…”

My eyes burned hot and I burst into tears. Words that had not yet been refined spewed from my mouth. Even in confusion, I knew that my life was in her hands, and all the words I uttered were apologies to her.

“I… never… be a bad boy again…”

“Yes heh… kkuh… yes…”

She responded reflexively to what she heard. I couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong. I didn’t even want to know. I just wanted to end this situation quickly. I hoped to stop the blood from bursting out.

Eun-ah’s head moved at my trembling words, and a smile soon appeared on her face.

“Huh…! This… now… listen carefully…!”

After saying that, Eun-ah hooked her pinky finger to my little finger and started shaking it up and down.

“Hey… Yak-sok~”

[ TN – Yak-sok is the Korean word for Promise. ]

A laugh came out of Eun-ah’s mouth. If it had been before, I would have felt a creepy repulsion, but I didn’t even have the capacity to recognize it. My head was filled with the thought that I needed to stop the bleeding quickly.

“Ha… Hurry… Hurry up and stop the bleeding… please…”

“Ah…! yes! Wait a minute~”

At my desperate plea, Eun-ah nodded, got up, and stretched out her hand behind the bed. It was a place with a stand.

“Let’s see~”

After rummaging around for a while, Eun-ah grabbed something and brought it out. My gaze turned to Eun-ah’s hand. It was a bandage and antiseptic. She picked up the disinfectant and began to apply the contents to my wrist.

“Ow… it stings…”

As the medicine fell on the exposed flesh of my wrist, a pain like the wound was re-opening spread.

“Ugh…”

I bit my teeth tightly and endured the pain. I wanted to scream to my heart’s content. But I couldn’t do it because I was afraid that the smiling expression would disappear from Eun-ah’s face as she applied the medicine.

It was a time of patience and planning. The medicine was applied over the wound, cotton was applied over it, and a bandage was tightly tied up to stop the bleeding. I just hoped that this moment would pass quickly.

“It’s… it’s done…”

Eun-ah looked at me with a satisfied expression as if she liked her treatment. I, who met her eyes, thanked her with a trembling voice, weighed down by the madness that permeated the smile.

“Thank you… Thank you…”

“Hehe… yes…”

The treatment was over, but the pain never subsided. The tears hardly stopped. Eun-ah’s face was filled with tears as she looked at me.

“Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”

– Swish.

Eun-ah’s hands were facing my face.

“Ssssssssssss!”

My body trembled and my head pulled back slightly. Immediately after, realizing what I had done, hurriedly checked Eun-ah’s expression. A face that looked like it was still crying. It didn’t seem like my previous actions had bothered her too much.

“This… now the punishment is over… it’s over…”

Before I knew it, a hand on my cheek wiped and wiped away my tears.

“This… Now…!”

Pulling my head towards her chest, Eun-ah began to stroke my hair gently, and soothingly.

Fear gripped my body and soul. The resolve I had made just a few hours ago, to never let fear get the best of me, seemed to have been forgotten completely. My mind was consumed with terror and I couldn’t seem to control it.

Paradoxically, even in the midst of that, the hand trying to comfort me, the constant heartbeat emanating from her chest, and the shallow voice quickly calmed my body and stopped the tears.

I realized that I was behaving very strangely, but I was too confused to know what to do.

“This… has it all stopped…? …Are… you okay now?”

I wondered if she felt stable breathing in me. Eun-ah lifted my head slightly and examined my face. I gave her a reflective answer.

“Yes yes…”

“Hehe…”

A laugh escaped Eun-ah’s mouth.

“Ah… now let’s… brush your teeth… I’ll prepare it~”

After confirming that I had completely stopped crying, Eun-ah said as if she had just remembered, and left the room with the tray.

– Click.

The door was locked, leaving me alone in the room. I slumped down, feeling all the tension drain out of me.

“Finally…”

I felt the tears welling up again, but I held back because I didn’t know when she would come back and I couldn’t afford to express my impulsive emotions without fully understanding the triggers of her seizures. It was simply a determination not to suffer anymore. The pain in my wrist kept reminding me of the price of my obstinacy.

“Mom…”

It had been a long time since I uttered those words last time. I didn’t know how many decades had passed. The fear made me stutter like a child with a broken fuse.

“Huh…”

It had only been one day. She had ruined me in just one day.

‘No.’

Even this day wasn’t over yet. The first two times I somehow fueled my rebelliousness by fueling my hatred, but this time even that was difficult. The moment I saw the blood flowing out, my hair turned white and I was filled with only the thought that I might die.

The face that had been hurting me so carelessly had subdued my rebellious spirit.

‘Ah…’

I was just lost.

*****

– Clang, clang.

The hands washing dishes became busy. The recent situation came to her mind and worries filled her head.

“Ah…”

Although she tried to give a mature lecture, she couldn’t. Worries such as ‘Did I reveal too much emotion?’, ‘Was forgiving too easily not right?’, ‘Did I teach him clearly?’ circulated in her mind.

‘Wouldn’t it have been better to be more specific…?’

“Ah… no…! Mr. Bee is… smart…!”

She shook her head, driving away the bad thoughts that came to her mind. Then, the situation from before came to mind.

“I… I said it…”

During the process of giving Mr. bee punishment, she unintentionally said something.

‘It’s… it’s… Because of love… I’m going to put up with it…’

– Dang!

Her face flushed.

‘Ugh… I wonder if he heard it…’

She had said she loved him. When giving a lecture, she should have spoken more calmly and maturely, but she revealed her sincere feelings when she saw his hurt expression.

‘I’m ashamed…’

Her feet rolled over. In an instant, the hand that was washing the dishes bounced loudly, and the bowl she was holding slipped.

-Bang!

“Ah…”

She hastily picked up the bowl and checked it. It seemed to be unharmed.

“Ah… I’m glad…”

If she let herself be affected by this incident, she would not become a great adult but instead, become a beast intoxicated by emotions like the bugs outside. When that thought came to mind, she regained her senses.

“Oh, no…!”

It shouldn’t be like this. Since she was now an adult, she had to think calmly and logically.

“….Calm… down!”

Taking a deep breath, she calmed her heart. She had to finish what she was doing now. As she thought about it, she quickly moved her hands while doing the dishes. Then, she remembered the person who was crying in her embrace. The tears that had wet her chest gradually stopped as she touched them, and the person who had stopped crying suddenly came to mind, and she smiled again.

“So cute…”

She wanted to take care of that person and praise and comfort him several times over. Since it had to be clear what adults give and take from each other.

“Okay…!”

She made a promise to take care of the person contaminated by the bugs and make him a great adult too. She was reminded of that promise. Before she knew it, she had finished doing the dishes.

“This… now…”

It was time to brush his teeth. The person couldn’t move his hands right now, so she had to do it for him. She would apply toothpaste to the toothbrush and clean every corner of his mouth.

“Tongue… even the tongue…”

Oops!

“I… bad thought! Mmm… stop!”

– Puff!

A new sound came out.

“Ahem…”

She didn’t act like an adult. She needed to calm down, and think logically.

Taking a deep breath, she composed herself. It was really time to go now.

“Then… let’s go~”

Her mouth was playing tricks on her again, as the corners of her mouth rose on their own.
