Chapter 202 – Only Me

If a monster attacks the spirit world, no matter how ‘experienced’ or ‘skillful’ the monster is, traces will remain in the brain.

It is the knowledge passed down by our ancestors through repeated experiences.

When even the most seasoned ultra-high-risk humanoid monster ‘Replicus’ attacked mind-type attacks, only a few people were hit, but the ‘traces’ unique to monsters were left in their brains.

Today I’m going to check it out.

[You’re coming now?]

“Yes. Is there a problem?”

[No, no. When you come in, you can follow the waiter.]

“Okay.”

I hang up the phone, raise my head and look up at the terribly gigantic building. The headquarters of the Null Group, which is over 1.4km in diameter even when it is tall – a size that can only be seen in Paper Plane, was right in front of my eyes.

Any skyscraper would be just a spire in front of the majestic building in front of you.

As if boasting that it was the world’s only super-giant corporation, the sleek black rectangular building was located in the center of the city. Hundreds of thousands of people were walking in and out of the headquarters in suits, and footsteps were everywhere.

“…”

Nearby, a serviceman wearing sunglasses is looking this way. He should have come in a suit. I wore a similar coat, but it seems to stand out a little. It wouldn’t matter if Han Ye-rin explained it, but I can’t help but worry about it.

“…?”

No.

The only eyes looking at me were those servants wearing sunglasses. Everyone entered the building in perfect order, but no one cared about me. Everyone seems to be so caught up in their work that they don’t even know.

Right before I get swept away by the crowd and enter the building, a servant grabs my shoulder.

“Kim Tae-ho?”

Eyes meet.

“I am Seong Seung-gyu, the servant of the lady. I know why you came. You can follow me.”

After I nodded, the attendant started guiding me. After going through simple biometrics, multiple card authentications, and various complicated procedures, you finally arrive at the deepest part of the building.

“You can go in here. I’ll be waiting here, so please call me when you leave later.”

“Ah yes.”

“Thank you.”

After the servant bowed modestly, he stood still and did not even move. ‘Mistress’ is probably referring to Han Ye-rin. You can feel the appearance, the strong energy, and even the movement like a machine that is tightly matched. Not usually strong.

Entering the room, Han Ye-rin is wearing a suit and looking at her documents.

Putting aside her usual submissive stance, Han Ye-rin, who had been looking at her documents with her unique lofty eyes, as soon as she saw me, immediately relaxed her expression and approached me.

“Master, are you here?”

“Huh.”

“Then, please wait here for a moment. I’m going to have an MRI scan in the back room, but before that, put all your electronic devices in this box. It’s accompanied by a strong electromagnetic force, so if there’s any metal attached to it, it’ll get pulled in.”

“Wasn’t it with a new checker?”

“That scanner is the MRI in that room. Mom hasn’t settled on the name yet, so we’ll just call it MRI for now. The test results will come out right away. Then, please wait here for a second. Someone’s coming.”

“Okay.”

Han Ye-rin smiles and sits next to me. Her hard expression just before has gone, and the corners of her mouth are raised as if she is happy.

“Whoops… Master. Master… Master…♡”

Han Ye-rin muttered and her body trembled at her exhilaration. Seriously, just being by my side makes me feel good. After waiting for about 5 minutes, she hears the door open behind her.

“Kim Tae-ho?”

A doctor in a white coat comes to visit me.

“I’ve heard all the news. First, let’s go inside.”

Upon opening the door and entering, a state-of-the-art inspection machine was located in the middle of the room.

The appearance of the machine was identical to that of an MRI.

The inspection ended in a bland way.

‘…No abnormalities were found.’

I already did a brain scan, physical examination, and even a health checkup, but there was nothing particularly strange about it.

“…Strange.”

‘How…’

Neither the doctor, Han Ye-rin, nor Shin So-yu, who had come to visit unintentionally, could not hide their embarrassment. Brain scans aren’t just for me.

This is some kind of proof.

It was a kind of proof to determine whether I was under illusion or whether the 600 or so people present were under illusion. So, if it’s normal, ‘traces’ should remain on me or 600 people.

Neither.

All normal, nothing changed. That fact confused us.

It’s certain this time.

The ‘unidentified gaze’ that attacked us was not a monster, or it was an ‘out of standard’ monster that exceeded the extremely high risk.

Either way is hopeless.

And the only connection point between the ‘unidentified gaze’.

A gray cat with circular pupils.

None other than that guy.

USA. The house.

“Keep-“

Turn on the stretch and pat the back. The plan I had been preparing for ever since Dad dropped Taeho and me had finally come to light.

“Of course, financial freedom is the most important thing.”

No money worries anymore.

Now, if you set your mind to it, you can sit down in Korea and live with Taeho for the rest of your life… But the reason why you don’t go immediately is because of the succession of the chairmanship.

‘Because bitches need the power to block the source.’

That power is power.

As a medium-sized company, it is now necessary to completely take control of the Dokwang Company, which is looking at a large company, so that women who use employees to approach Taeho can be blocked at the source.

“…But the women in the detached unit can’t help it.”

Because this is in line with Taeho’s goal. No, you can’t avoid it in the first place. I try to ignore it.

“Write… Ha.”

Even if you want to ignore it, it’s hard. This is an absolutely unavoidable factor.

If possible, I’d just rule it out.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been away from Taeho for so long, I keep getting dizzy.

“I miss you, Taeho, I miss you, I miss you, I miss you, I miss you…!”

He hugs his pillow tightly and imagines Taeho. Phone calls and texts are not enough. Suffering from the chronic shortage of Taihu, every day is painful. I can’t imagine life without Taeho, and if Taeho disappeared, I would kill myself on the spot. Taeho is so precious to me.

“It was so cool when I first saw it…”

It still lingers in my mind. As soon as our eyes met, my heart pulsated with love. To put it bluntly, I fell in love at first sight. So, I confessed right away…But it was rejected.

“Huh, Taeho… I love you… I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you…!”

I want Taeho to only look at me.

Taeho is only looking at me.

‘It took a long time for this to happen.’

The first time I was denied a confession, I felt despair for the first time. I thought about giving up right away because my whole body felt like it was collapsing, but I thought I would regret it for the rest of my life… I succeeded in forcibly connecting with Taeho, and I did my best to never get away from you again.

It was because he got rid of the women who approached him and encouraged Tae-ho to cut him off himself.

The result is now.

Of course, I didn’t cut off the women who weren’t dangerous, but I ended up dropping them later. Because I’m anxious.

Because I hope that this state will remain forever.

“I love you, Taeho… Let’s be together for the rest of our lives. Let’s not fall apart until we die. Let’s live together forever. We’ll get married and have eight children… I’ll take care of the future. I’ll make you happy…”

For Taeho, I can sacrifice anything. Other than Taeho, I don’t need relationships with other men. To be honest, I don’t even need a woman. Since then, I’ve only discovered the good things about Taeho. As time goes by, you just fall in love with it, so there are human relationships other than Taeho… But it’s manahan dregs.

“You can’t run away like that time. Taeho can only be happy if he’s with me, so he can’t be happy if he’s not with me. Even if he dies, he won’t fall away, never, ever, ever let go.”

Because you will live happily with me for the rest of your life.
Even if I die, I will never part.
Taeho will only love me for the rest of his life, right?
I can’t forgive eye contact with other girls, and I can’t even breathe with other girls.
You can never talk to any other woman but me, you must love only me until the moment you die. Never miss a lifetime
Don’t run away like back then. I’m going to get engaged, I’m going to bind you by law, I’m going to make you look at me forever, I’m going to get pregnant, Let’s be happy forever.

“Tae-ho… Tae-ho, Tae-ho is not enough… I need Tae-ho.”

My head hurts because I’m so far away from Taeho. Horrible. I didn’t do this at first. I was happy just being with Taeho, but since we are apart, there is nothing but despair. Normally, I could calmly go over a few conversations with an insignificant woman, but I don’t have the confidence to do that now. Taeho talking to another woman and making eye contact?

Don’t joke

No.

Never, never die Tae-ho should only look at me forever, but he rolled his eyes elsewhere.

You should get married soon.

I want to have a wedding as soon as I get back.

If that were the case, I’d be so happy I could barely stop my brain from bursting. I’m sure I’ll die from an overdose of dopamine.

“Whoop… Whoop… Whoop…”

I’m actually going crazy right now because I’ve been away from Taeho for so long.

The reason I want to meet Tae-ho next week or the week after that is to straighten my mind. I’m not kidding, I think I’m going crazy.

Go crazy without Tae Ho. Sad, sad, sad again, go crazy.

The only cure is Tae-ho’s interest.

Only Taeho’s love.

Emotions are like switches. If there is no Taeho, it is negative, and if there is, it is positive. That’s why Taeho sometimes goes and tells me that it’s really easy to understand, and that’s also the magic. No, it’s because I’m happy just hearing your voice.

When I hold her hand and put on a pod, it gives off a sense of trust, perhaps because Taeho’s hand is bigger.

On rainy days, he tilts his umbrella toward me, and when two straws are stuck in his drink, he deliberately eats less.

When I get hunted on the street, I block it nicely, and when I sleep next to me, I feel anxious and hug me tightly.

If you wake up early and cook, you sneakily hug me from behind. When going to and from school, we always wear handcuffs and never let go of each other.

I also adjusted all of my tastes for Taeho.

My tastes are all the same as Taeho. I know what you like and what you want. Because I tried to become a woman only for Taeho.

‘Cause I’m yours forever

“Whoa…”

When I woke up, it was already evening.

“I want to go back soon…”

I want to make love as soon as possible.
