The Tough Guy Hides the Villainess

067 – The Whip of Love

067 – The Whip of Love

The day after the absurd incident.

After school.

Wang Ja-hyun headed towards his family home with a heavy heart.

In the yard of the family home, his brothers and sisters were already standing there, and as soon as they saw Wang Ja-hyun, they did not hide their sneers and blatant jeers.

“Oh, our superstar has arrived.”

“You can’t hide your origins. Just look at the trouble you cause every day.”

“A position won by luck won’t last long.”

Wang Ja-hyun felt a sudden surge of anger.

These mere mortals, not even Awakened ones.

But he couldn’t cause a commotion at the main house.

After all, he was the one who had caused the trouble.

And anyway, they were like dogs or pigs that couldn’t even enter the house from the yard.

“You’re here.”

The eldest son, Wang Ja-geon, greeted Wang Ja-hyun in the living room.

His face was full of undisguised reproach.

Wang Ja-hyun felt uncomfortable with his much older brother, but he tried to remain calm.

Then he entered his father’s study.

Behind him, he heard the eldest son click his tongue, “Tsk.”

Smoke wafted up.

In the study, a man with a thick cigarette in his mouth was lounging in a chair with his legs up on the desk.

It was Wang Ji-seok, the chairman of the Je-wang Group.

“Ja-hyun, this father is greatly disappointed.”

“……”

Wang Ja-hyun closed his eyes tightly and bowed his head.

He had prepared many words, but not a single one came out of his mouth.

So the only thing he managed to squeeze out was this:

“Eun-byul asked Grandfather to handle the public opinion, so that’s taken care of. I’ll take care of Han Nam-jin myself, so don’t worry too much.”

“Tsk. That’s not what I’m disappointed about. I wanted you to be that kind of person. It should have been you, not Han Nam-jin, who spoke so boldly there.”

“……”

“I always taught you to be the protagonist of the scene. It doesn’t matter if it’s good or bad. In this world, the ones who get attention win. You lost to Han Nam-jin.”

Chairman Wang Ji-seok closed his eyes.

He could overlook his children causing trouble and making mistakes, but he couldn’t tolerate them losing.

His child’s defeat was his own defeat.

Wang Ji-seok was a man who hated losing more than anyone.

“Wang Ja-hyun, you always back down at crucial moments, just like your mother. Now, get out. And tell your eldest brother to come in.”

“……”

Creak.

Wang Jahyun clenched his teeth tightly.

Only one child could enter his father’s study.

How much contempt had Wang Jahyun endured to come to this place?

But for the eldest son to reclaim this position meant that his father, Wang Jiseok, was beginning to turn away from Wang Jahyun.

Wang Jahyun left the study and the living room, stepping out into the yard.

He could hear the mocking sounds of his siblings behind him, but he didn’t care.

Wang Jahyun himself was the “protagonist.”

He would show that this time.

‘Hanamjin, do you think you’re the only one who can act crazy? I can go wild too. I’ll make you eat your words in a way you never even imagined.’

As he was contemplating various ways to do just that, it happened.

Brrrrring-.

From noble mtl dot com

Wang Jahyun’s phone started ringing wildly.

Soon, his older brother burst out of the yard, running barefoot and shouting.

“Hey! Wang Jahyun! Check the internet! Look at the internet!”

The internet?

Wang Jahyun hesitated but turned on the internet.

“Team No Leftovers Exorcism Broadcast”

“… “What the hell is this?”

Wang Jahyun felt a surge of tension, wondering what kind of nonsense Hanamjin was up to again.

His heart raced, but for some reason, he couldn’t take his eyes off his phone.

“It’s me, you b*stards. Attention, haters. I am the one and only ‘Brad Pitt’ Hanamjin. The reason I’m broadcasting urgently is—”

The place where Hanamjin was broadcasting looked familiar, the road and nearby buildings.

Realizing what they were after, Wang Jahyun started to run with all his might.

“Hanamjin, you crazy b*stard!”

# # #

“Alright. Everything’s set.”

Model Jeon Somi announced the emergency live broadcast.

As she had many subscribers on MyTube, over a thousand viewers joined the broadcast as soon as it started.

The chubby one, who had been rolling his eyes, wondering if he could trust her, froze like a raccoon caught rummaging through the kitchen once the broadcast began.

Chang-sik and Deok-soon were just as nervous in front of the camera.

Soon, Jeon-som, who was operating the camera, shouted softly.

“Hey! You have to say something! “The broadcast has started!”

“Oh, really? Ah, it’s me, you little brats. Attention haters. I am the one and only Han Nam-jin, the ‘Brad Pitt’ of this place. The reason I turned on the broadcast so urgently is just like the title says.”

Chwa-rururururur-.

The speed of the chat window was fast.

It was hard to read.

The number of viewers was also steadily increasing.

‘Horned Horse has donated 1,000 won.’

‘Mi-seon: If Jin Eun-byul shares a story about touching her chest, I’ll donate 50,000 won lol.’

What the hell is this?

50,000 won?

How many packs of ramen is that!

Just thinking about it made my tailbone tingle and my heart race.

“Jin Eun-byul’s chest was an A cup.”

Ding-!

50,000 won deposited!

Damn, making money was this easy!

After that, missions kept pouring in.

‘Mission: If you breakdance, 100,000 won.’

‘Mission: Are the friends next to you just props? Each introduce yourselves for 10,000 won each.’

Damn, money is pouring in… !

Capitalism is the best!

While I was lost in that feeling, Jeon-som said.

“Hey! The number of viewers has exceeded ten thousand! “We should slowly get to the main point!”

“Oh, the main point. Right.”

For the first time in my life, I was overwhelmed by the attention.

Anyway, there was only one thing I had to do.

“From now on, I’m going to play a video, and the title is ‘6’, so enjoy it. Kids, watch it with your parents. “The elderly should refrain from watching carelessly.”

Clack-.

Deok-soon, who was good with computers, streamed the video live on the broadcast.

“Say your name!”

“Say your name!”

“What is your name!”

“Your name!”

「Hehehe-.」

Whirrrrr-.

The chat windows went wild.

「HornedHorse: Is that Jin Eun-byeol? Looks like young Jin Eun-byeol?”

「ILoveSquirrels: Confinement and bondage play ㅗㅜㅑ」

「DorandorandorangWater: WTF, Jin Eun-byeol’s head spinning 360 degrees, what’s that」

「HanamJinBS: Isn’t this fake?」

It was only a three-minute video, but everyone seemed quite surprised.

Chang-sik was just as bewildered.

“Friend, is this really the right way?”

“Yes, trust me. As you just saw, Jin Eun-byeol’s body is possessed by a very vicious ghost or demon. The men in the video failed to exorcise it. They’re all dead now.”

“R-really?”

Bang-daengi asked me in a flustered voice.

I answered quietly.

“It’s a lie.”

Who knows if they’re dead or alive.

But it sounds more plausible that they died from a curse, so let’s go with that.

“Jin Eun-byeol was a girl possessed by Satan. And these so-called powerful shamans, including congressmen and ministers, praised her, so the country is in a mess. So now, we’re going to perform an exorcism.”

We stood in front of Jin Eun-byeol’s villa.

The iron gate was sturdy, but it didn’t matter.

“Open sesame!”

Bam-!

When I kicked the iron gate with all my might, the door flew off.

「Churichurimichurit: Open sesame, LOL」

「ILoveCandy: This is blatant illegal trespassing, LOL」

「GoldLocal: Crazy;; Is it possible for an awakened one to break an iron door with their legs?”

「2ndGenGraduate: Hanamjin’s concept is leap enhancement, so probably lol」

Unlike the noisy chat window, the atmosphere of the deserted villa was quite bleak.

It’s completely different from yesterday when there were many people.

“…Friend, look at that!”

Changsik pointed to the roof of the villa with his hand.

Countless crows were sitting on the roof of the villa, staring at us with their jet-black eyes, evoking the atmosphere of a famous haunted house or abandoned house.

“The current time is 7 PM.”

A slightly late time for dinner.

Perhaps because summer was approaching, the sun was setting late, and the sky was still dimly lit.

The villa building below was unusually pitch black, causing Deoksun, Changsik, and Bbangdaengi to stop and hesitate repeatedly.

「What’s with the atmosphere, damn crow」

“Isn’t this all staged?”

「Calling crows staged lol both are birds anyway」

「Feels like a real ghost might appear」

「DomHwangCha!」

It seems that this chilly and eerie atmosphere was felt even beyond the camera.

Clunk, creak-.

At that moment, the entrance door of the villa opened outward.

It opened by itself even though there was no one there.

“Expensive houses are really nice.”

I admired the performance of the expensive house and entered without hesitation.

Everyone followed me hesitantly, and the interior of the villa was composed of several floors and was unusually dark.

Somewhere in here is Jin Eunbyeol.

It seems that Jin Eunbyeol hasn’t moved a step from this villa since yesterday.

So it was time to look around to see where I could find him.

Click-.

The light on the third floor turned on.

As if guiding us, we headed up the stairs to the third floor, where a door at the end of the long hallway was open with the light on.

I entered without hesitation.

“Namjin! Wait for me!”

“Don’t leave me here!”

The room was spacious.

There was a bed, a dressing table, and a wardrobe neatly arranged, but what stood out was the abundance of crosses on the walls.

Jin Eunbyul was sitting in front of the dressing table, grooming her hair. She didn’t seem to care that I had entered.

“Hey, Jin Eunbyul.”

“━──.”

Despite my call, Jin Eunbyul continued to brush her hair in front of the dressing table. Her strokes grew rougher, and more hair tangled in the brush, but she didn’t stop.

「Damn, Jin Eunbyul really seems possessed by Satan」

「What is she saying now? What language is that?

「Looks like Latin ㄷㄷㄷ」

“Jin Eunbyul.”

I called her again.

But still, Jin Eunbyul only muttered to herself while looking in the mirror.

This was actually good.

“Found an opening!”

I grabbed Jin Eunbyul’s hair and threw her to the floor.

She screamed and fell down.

Thud, crash-!

“Ahhh! You crazy b*stard!”

Her reaction was fierce and vicious, truly like a girl possessed by Satan. But compared to the usual tantrums of Seo Gaeul, it was nothing.

In some ways, it was even better.

“Hahaha! I get the most thrill when rude girls curse at me!”

I tied Jin Eunbyul’s body tightly to the bed with the chains I had brought.

Originally, I intended to take her to our basement, but it seemed unnecessary.

Soon, Changshik, who had been dazed as if possessed, gathered his courage and shouted.

“What, what is your name!”

“…Hehehe-.”

Jin Eunbyul laughed fiercely.

She had no intention of answering.

But it’s okay.

I didn’t come here to ask for his name anyway.

I took out the “Love’s Whip” that I always used from my bag.

And I slapped Jin Eunbyeol’s sole with a smack.

“Ungaaah!”

Jin Eunbyeol jumped up with a strange scream.

His eyes showed that he had no idea what had just happened to him.

“Name: Jin Eunbyeol

“Possession: Click to see details ☜

《Demon Lv.3》 – As wicked as a demon in a ghost story.

《Foresight Lv.2》 – Possesses foresight like an ancient shaman.

Status: 《Startled》 – Shocked because it hurt so much!”

Even Seo Gaeul, the most vicious person in the world, found “Love’s Whip” painful.

Can Jin Eunbyeol endure it?

“Hehehe, you don’t have to tell me your name. From now on, your name is Daesik.”

In fact, exorcism wasn’t my goal.

It was to make Jin Eunbyeol spill everything he knew.

In front of the broadcast camera.
