Chapter 198: I haven’t made up my mind So, I was a bit lost with the sudden, ’Will you go out on a date with me?’ that I was frozen for a few minutes. Seo-Jun looked like a shy, awkward, and handsome high school boy asking his crush out on a date and was scared of being refused. Literally. I did not even know what to say to this. Should I just reject him and make him feel bad or take pity on his attempt and see where this leads? It could be a scheme, was what I thought. But it looked like he wasn’t lying when he said he didn’t do anything to me while I was sleeping. While it did look like someone had messed with my robe, there was no tingling sensation on any part of my body, resembling that of a human’s touch. Yeah, I could tell even that. I’m a superhuman, you know. Muhahaha. But there’s this feeling on my lips that I couldn’t ignore. Was it due to being kissed before I fell asleep? (You’ll never know, hehehe) Probably. My neck also felt tingling since Jin-Yeok had left quite the hickey and also traced kisses down my neck before kissing my lips. Even when seeing these hickeys... I spied on Seo-Jun... He did not do anything to me in my sleep. Should I commend him for his efforts? It was a feat I never expected him to achieve so soon. Even his character seemed different so it looked like he was working on himself more and trying his best to improve. This must be a sign that it is time to really give him a chance. "If we do go on that date," I asked, catching his attention and making him seem positive. "Where do you plan to take me?" "Are you really accepting?" He asked, looking at me in excited disbelief. What’s with him? He was the one asking and yet he was the one doubting. "I haven’t made up my mind." I said. "But just let me know what you plan to do?" "Well, that’s..." He rolled his eyes away, scratching his face with his index finger. "I haven’t thought that far." He said and my left eye twitched. Did he ask me out without a concrete plan? "I wanted to get a response from you before I start planning. I can’t hurry and start making plans that I may never use, right?" He asked and I shut my eyes. Well, that makes sense. There’s more chance of me refusing his offer, so why bother making a plan beforehand? But really... I looked at him. He seemed really different from usual. Where’s that cocky and arrogant tone of his? What happened to his pride as a sadistic Alpha? He’s a dominant top that never bows his head but what I’m seeing now destroys that image. I’m forced to believe that he’s serious about wanting to win my favor, even if it means shedding his skin in front of me. ’Ugh, it makes me a bit uncomfortable.’ I thought. ’I guess I’ll have to give it a more serious thought.’ Seo-Jun didn’t know what he was doing, honestly. He was simply acting based on his intuition, and even though it was not at all like him, he decided to give it a try. After all, if he tried to use his own reasoning that had carried him this far, he was likely to make grave mistakes with me. So, he discarded all of that and decided to just... Go with the flow. "Hm, then master," I called out and he raised his head. "I appreciate your offer but I can’t give you an answer now." I said to him. Since I wasn’t rejecting or accepting, it should prompt him to put in more work, right? "But if you’ve come up with a plan that you know I’ll like, don’t hesitate to ask me again." Though I said that, it still felt rather embarrassing to be asked out like that. No one had ever asked me out in that straightforward manner before. It was quite... romantic? Hm, I don’t know how to put it. It was like reading a novel. Oh, right. This was a novel, of course. But it’s not something you expect from a genre such as this one. We’re taking it to the high school level, huh? Hm, speaking of which, what would it be like if we were in a normal world and under normal circumstances, met in school? (We’ll find out later. Stay tuned for the side story on my 200 Chapter debut) Hm, those two should be friends in that situation. Not all friends are as friendly but it’s still fine. I can only imagine it, after all. "Ah, then I’ll put in more work and give it my best." Seojun said and got down from the bed, standing on his feet as he stared down at me with a grin. "I’ve never lost at giving it my best." Yeah, I know. That’s why you’re like a sickly parasite. Now, shoo, shoo. You’ve done more than enough, eh? "Just make sure that you’re putting my preference under consideration." I boldly said to him. If it was before, I wouldn’t dare say such a thing to my master, but I had decided to be more honest with what I wanted and my thoughts, so that I don’t end up with the short end of the stick and remain in discomfort. Plus, it was Seo-Jun, so he wouldn’t dare try to hit me now that he’s under surveillance, so I have nothing to fear, muhahaha. I’m the boss now. He’ll also refrain from trying to get intimate with me because it would only be suggestive. As if that were the reason he approached me from the beginning and had changed. You know, he showed his sexual tendencies from the beginning, so if he suddenly demanded something like that when he just started getting me to warm up to him, then he should, of course, expect to be cut off right away. This truly gives me the upper hand. "I’ll get going now." He said and I nodded. "Oh, and you should probably put on a shirt." Huh? Why? "You might not know but..." His eyes suddenly glowed with a hint of desire. "Seeing your bare skin like that is a type of temptation that no normal man can overcome. But luckily for you, I’m no normal man." He winked and then left, leaving me with goosebumps and shivers. Okay, so maybe I’m not exactly safe. Tsk, that damn narcissistic tongue of his. He was still the same. I might have the upper hand but I should still be careful, just in case. As Seo-Jun opened the door, he found Ki-hoon at the door and he was immediately frowned upon. But Seo-Jun did not say anything and simply wanted to walk away but Ki-hoon placed his hand on the way. "What did you come for?" He asked, his tone cold and so was the look in his eyes. It was like a glacier or something like that. Seo-Jun looked at Ki-hoon’s hand and then looked up at him, smirking. "I came for a visit." He said. Ah, there it was. That arrogant and cocky attitude. He might shed it in front of me but he still had it on in front of the other Alphas. He couldn’t allow them to trample all over his, after all. Ki-hoon still couldn’t believe he simply came here for a simple visit and looked inside the room to find me sitting on the bed, watching them with my robe that was not properly on. Yeah, he misunderstood alright. "Did you...?" "Nothing happened." I quickly spoke up to avoid the misunderstanding. "He came for a visit, as he said. So, now he’s on his way." Ki-hoon was skeptical but ended up listening to me and allowing Seo-Jun safe passage out of the room. Seo-Jun did not say anything, nor did he try to provoke Ki-hoon any further, and simply walked away, unlike his usual self, causing Ki-hoon to wonder what he had come to talk to me about that he was so tame. "Don’t just stand there, Hyung, come in." I said and he walked into the room, his head slightly lowered. "I apologize if I made you feel uncomfortable with my actions." He said but I shook it away. "No, it’s fine. How was work?" I asked and he raised his head. He looked delighted that I had asked him such, but then his eyes fell on the hickey on my exposed neck, and he frowned bitterly. "Jo-Pil, are you sure he didn’t try anything with you?" He asked, and I traced his gaze to the hickey on my neck. Ah, he was misunderstanding again. Well, words won’t work so let’s do this. I stood on top of the bed and spread my arms, inviting him for a hug and when he hugged me, I dropped my head on his and brushed his hair. "What do I smell like?" I asked and he noticed the scent right away? "It wasn’t Master Sun." I said and pushed my hand back, smiling warmly at him. "So you don’t have to worry, Hyung. No one’s doing anything to be against my will."
