I Was Kidnapped By a Yandere Writer

Chapter 6

My eyes were tightly shut.

“Uh… go ahead and read it…”

Eun-ah’s nagging voice hit my ear.

“I-I’m… sure you’ll like it…”

Her slow, faltering tone broke off intermittently. Her trembling voice and the way she spoke, which I had found irritating until then, suddenly became daunting.

My eyes twitched and widened in fear.

My survival instinct screamed at me to listen to her words.

The world came into focus as I stared at the page in front of me. The black letters on the white paper seemed to dance before my eyes.

Yes, they were dancing.

The letters writhed and twisted, hiding their true forms. I furrowed my brow, but the dancing letters refused to reveal their true selves.

At that moment, I realized why I couldn’t distinguish the letters.

‘ah…’

Tears were streaming down my face.

My eyes burned hot. The warmth of the tears that slowly flowed down my cheeks left a trail of burns on my skin.

“Uh, uh…”

Eun-ah’s surprised voice was heard.

“Why… why are you crying…”

– Swoop.

Her hand came down on my face. Her cold touch wiped away the tears and moisture on my tear-stained eyes and cheeks, cooling the heat that had risen from it.

“Cha, you’re so kind~ Ah~!”

The fingertips grazed my face, unsteady and erratic. The jagged nails and calloused fingertips, perhaps marred with wounds, only heightened the discomfort as they trailed over my skin.

As I shivered from the chill, my eyes lowered toward the ground.

“Ooh…Don’t… don’t cry…”

Moist moisture was swept away by her fingers.

“Kuu… When Mr. bee cries, I… I’m so sad too…”

Eun-ah’s voice quavered with emotion and her eyes glistened with tears.

As if imitating my own emotions, she was filled with tears.

My gaze fell even lower, and after a while, my gaze, which had fallen, was directed to Eun-ah’s wrist, which was slightly lower than the palm of my hand, and revealed as her collar rolled down.

My eyes widened when I saw her exposed wrist, and my mind, which had been shaken by fear until then, was awakened in an instant.

Flash!

A shrill cry erupted from my throat.

“It’s okay! It’s okay!”

“Huh…?”

Tears welled up in my eyes.

“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry…”

“…yes?”

My mouth opened involuntarily and the words poured out.

“Manuscript! I should read the manuscript! yes, let’s read it now…!”

“Yes? Hehe. yes…”

As if my sudden change of attitude wasn’t suspicious, Eun-ah’s cry from before disappeared in an instant.

“Here… I’ll hold it, so… please tell me when you’re done reading it…?”

The manuscript was pushed in front of my eyes, but I couldn’t focus on it.

I remembered what I had just seen.

‘A wound… a wound made by a knife.’

There were clear signs of self-harm on Eun-ah’s wrist. At the top of the wound, a red scar that had not yet healed, probably a relatively recent one, was engraved.

The moment I saw the signs of self-harm, my mind went cold, and my rationality screamed at me that I could no longer show any more tears.

Above all the fear I had experienced until then, my survival instinct rose up and awakened my mind.

I felt the wound running down her wrist as a warning to me, ‘You never know when I’ll change and hurt you.’

– Gulp.

Dry saliva went down my throat.

My head was filled with the thought that I had to obey her. Although I was not able to read the words on the paper, I scanned the paper, rolling my eyes to and fro, thinking that I should make her feel that I was reading the manuscript.

After what felt like one to two minutes, I took a short breath and spoke up.

“Next page, please turn over.”

– Flutter.

The page was turned. Fortunately, she seemed to think I was reading.

‘Just like this…’

I felt like I could somehow get past this moment if I kept going.

“Next page.”

“Next page.”

“Next.”

One page, two pages, three pages. As the pages turned, the tension subsided little by little.

While I was reading the manuscript like this, that woman would do me no harm. When I thought that, my heart, which had been beating like crazy, was slowly finding its breath.

That moment.

“Next page.”

“…Mr. Bee.”

-Flinch.

A chilly voice was heard and the hand that had been mechanically turning pages stopped, and the breath that was tickling my nack felt a little rougher.

I turned my head and looked at her. A look that exuded coolness. Eyes glinting gloomily. Again, she was about to have a seizure. My head tightened up, accelerating my thoughts.

‘What? What else did I miss?’

All the while pretending to read, I rolled my eyes in a certain pattern and repeated the words to turn the page. I had been doing just that from the beginning, and nothing else was unusual. Tension lingered in my body again.

“…yes?”

My voice trembled. I met her eyes and spoke in the gentlest tone possible. She looked at me and opened her mouth, with eyes sparkling with suspicion.

“Are you reading it properly?”

She wondered if I was reading the text carefully.

‘A quick-witted bi*ch…!’

It was a terrifying insight. However, I couldn’t let her know. I raised the corners of my mouth, producing a smile, and answered her.

“I was reading it properly. The part where they escape from the Queen of Bugs is really exciting and well-written.”

I forcibly looked at the unreadable manuscript, recalled a few sentences that caught my eye, and squeezed out an excuse. Looking at me, Eun-ah raised her eyebrows and shook her head as if she didn’t like something.

“No, no, no, You’re not reading properly…”

“I was reading.”

Her voice grew higher and higher and soon became an eardrum-piercing scream.

“No way!!!!!”

– Thunk!

‘Fuck!’

Eun-ah, who had a sudden seizure, struck me in the stomach with the hand holding the manuscript.

“Ugh!”

I was short of breath.

“Stop it… sto…p…”

Tears welled up in my eyes again. While I was breathing in the pain that suddenly hit me. Eun-ah’s voice hit my ears.

“You’re not reading… You’re not reading…!!!”

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry… I’m so…rry…”

Eun-ah glared at me, pressing down on the manuscript that had been struck on my stomach.

“Because it’s… it’s punishment… it’s because it’s a punishment that you didn’t read it properly…”

Eun-ah, with a distorted expression, said that and twisted the manuscript in her hand, pressing me on the stomach. My breath was tight. The pressure on the stomach and the rough breathing from the side harmonized, tormenting my body and mind.

“I’ll… I’ll read properly… I’ll read it!!!!”

Even in the midst of my hectic mind, I somehow pulled out the words and begged her.

The pressure suddenly stopped. I felt a little relief as my breathing eased and I replenished my oxygen supply.

“I… I can’t believe it…”

Eun-ah’s voice was dragging. When I looked at her, she was staring at me with a pained expression. Her emotional state had changed again.

She glared at me for a long time. Soon, as if she had a good idea, she opened her eyes wide and smiled, curling up the corners of her mouth,

“ah…!”

– Heehee…

It was a laugh that conveyed a moment of joy.

“That… then it will work~!”

“What?”

Anxiety crept over me as to what other monstrous things this woman would do. As I looked at her with my eyes full of anxiety, she suppressed her laughter and said to me.

“So… Can you read it out loud?”

“…Yes?”

‘Did I hear that wrong?’

“I… so I know… I know what you are reading… so… please read it out loud…!”

‘F*ck…’

Suddenly, it felt like a reading session. I looked at her. Her eyes were sparkling with anticipation. If I refused, those eyes will suddenly change and shine with madness as if she never laughed.

I couldn’t help it. There was no option to refuse.

I felt a sense of exhaustion all over my body because I had no choice but to follow. My head creaked and moved up and down.

“Yes…”

“Hehe…”

A satisfied laugh escaped from her lips. I looked at the manuscript.

‘First page. I guess I’ll have to read it again from there.’

Eventually, my hesitant mouth opened.

“It was a giant bug the size of a building…”

*****

Eun-ah watched Dokyun as he read the text out loud. His eyes were almond-shaped without double eyelids, his nose had a smooth line and was slightly raised, and his lips moved slightly as he read the text.

‘Chae… good…’

His face had sharp features. At first glance, his face looked fierce, but Eun-ah knew his warm personality was different from his imposing appearance. His fierce-looking eyes would soften as he read her writing. A smile would curl up on his lips, and he would say warm words just for her.

It was extremely satisfying.

When she first went to see him, she hid under the bed and watched him, feeling breathless with tension. She thought he would have a gentle smile, but his appearance was scary. However, at that moment, she remembered the warm words he had written toward her, and she was no longer afraid of that ferocious face.

“Hera, I have to save people.”

A low voice as he read the lines permeated her heart like a ringing sound.

-Thumb… Thumb

-Thumb… Thumb

Her heart was beating fast.

‘Ah… what if he hears it?’

Her face turned red with embarrassment.

Wasn’t saving him the best decision of her life? She felt a sense of pride and self-confidence.

It was so good…

She would never let him go. If they were together, the rest of their lives would be filled with complete satisfaction. And they will be together for a lifetime.

They still didn’t know each other very well, maybe because it was their first meeting, and they made mistakes, but she could teach him slowly and help him make fewer mistakes.

‘Eh… Well, no one is perfect from the start.’

She felt like he had been contaminated by bugs for too long. She needed to save him and make him to come to his senses quickly.

Eun-ah looked at him, trembling with a feeling of extreme satisfaction and fulfillment.

“-They Ran away.”

At that moment, she saw a part of the text that he had skipped over and not read.

Pinching his side lightly, she gave him a signal. Dokyun’s gaze turned to her. His pupils were shaking, and his lips had a strange shape. He seemed to not know what he had done wrong.

‘Ah! he missed it because he was nervous!’

It seemed that he was nervous at first sight as he gurgled his saliva. He seemed to be a very shy person.

‘Cute…’

Eun-ah thought so and said to him with a smile.

“H… Here! You didn’t read it, and you skipped it!”

“Here… This part?”

“yes!”

The scream of the queen bug. It was the part where she wrote down the queen’s angry shout as she watched the protagonist and their companions running away from her.

“Oh, I see…”

The corners of his mouth seemed to twitch. Soon, he started reading the part.

“Kee… Kkieeck~! Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

“Hehe…”

It was excellent.
