Red Cloak - Chapter 4

T/N: This novel is r19. There’s a possibility to read swear words without sensor, violence, sexual assault/tension, intercourse and others for 19+. This is not called r19 for nothing.

“Oh, come on.”

Ha-eun sank into the chair because she was exhausted. It’s already 2:30.

I’m going to get there from here, but I’ll arrive around 3:30 to 4:00.

If you turn on the server or something and come back, it will be 5 o’clock.

“Let’s see what they can buy for me.” She jumped up, muttering like that.

You have to move faster to finish this quickly. It will take longer on the way home from work.

“4:20.”

Ha-eun, who arrived at the warehouse, picked up her cell phone and checked the time.

I didn’t know the way here, so it took a little longer than I thought. Even when I walked through the door, I didn’t know where to take a picture of the card key.

However, once you have come this way, the way back will be much easier.

She got out of the car and entered building A. It was piled up like a warehouse building.

As I passed through it and went inside, I saw a large desk and server as Yeongdeok said.

Done. Ha-eun’s face brightened with joy that she was almost done with her work. When she turned on the server, she murmured, “Let’s go.”

I can go now. Ha-eun took out her cell phone from her pocket and checked the time.

It’s four thirty- I think I can go back before six at this point.

Thinking so, she suddenly realized something strange. The cell phone screen was showing a disconnect.

“Huh?”

I’m sure there was no problem up until now. What’s going on? It’s not broken, is it?

Ha-eun, who suddenly felt scared, turned off her cell phone as she left the building.

It may be a power issue. I hope it rings when it’s on again.

“T-the installment is not finished yet.”

It shouldn’t break. It was when I just walked out of the building, grumbling like that. I could see something passing by the side of my eye.

Ha-eun, who flinched and stopped, reflected on the incident a month ago and realized the difference. What happened a month ago was a shadow.

I couldn’t tell if it was a person, an animal, or a ghost.

But just now it was definitely human. That’s someone she knows too.

“Team Leader?”

Ha-eun’s head turned to the side where Joo Won disappeared.

Joo Won can’t be here. No, is he here? Ha-eun picked up her cell phone one more time and turned around after confirming that she was still out of signal.

Perhaps Yeongdeok asked the Team Leader to do it. Then they should let me know that he will go there already, so I can just go.

“Phew.”

I can’t wait to go back. While grumbling like that, she chased after Joo Won. It’s a building used as a warehouse, so she can’t see people except for the manager. Not even the manager is in sight now.

“Why is my phone out of range of signal?”

She grumbled and hurried to catch up with Joo Won. One quick step. Ha-eun followed him closely, but Joo Won always looked like a dot in the distance.

Unless you leave the signal range, it’ll be over. She grumbled like that and walked for a while. Then she found Joo Won entering a building in the distance.

“Team Leader!”

We finally met. Joyfully, Ha-eun began to run for Joo Won. However, Joo Won had already entered the building and closed the door.

I looked into my phone and it’s still out of signal. It was almost five o’clock.

“Team Leader!”

Ha-eun went into the building and called Joo Won. The brightly bright building was empty, unlike building A, where she first entered.

What are you doing here? Joo Won, who turned his head towards her, was puzzled and looked surprised.

“Miss Ha-eun?”

It’s the first time Joo Won called her without her last name but that’s not the point. Ha-eun tried to explain that she answered Yeongdeok’s phone call.

At that moment.

Tak.

The door where Ha-eun came in was closed. Then the sound of the door locking was heard.

Tak, click, squeak.

“Damn it.”

A curse came out of Joo Won’s mouth. At the same time, the lights in the warehouse went out.

“Kyaa!” Scream came out of Ha-eun’s startled mouth.

Scenes of various horror movies she had seen have flowed into her head. Empty warehouse, a fire suddenly extinguished and a ghost appeared!

But at that moment, Joo Won kicked the door with a “bang!”

“Kyaa!” Ha-eun’s mouth burst into screams again.

What? What is he doing? While she was panicking, Joo Won continued to struggle to open the door.

“Damn it!”

It doesn’t open. No matter how hard he pulls it, it doesn’t open.

If you think about it, it was natural. This warehouse is designed to be safe from attacks by creatures many times stronger than humans.

“T-team Leader?” Ha-eun, who came to her senses in the dark, called Joo-won.

Joo Won was wearing a shirt. She obviously didn’t see his coat and jacket, which he was wearing when he left work.

Furthermore, Ha-eun could see his back muscles pulling tight through his shirt.

“Team Leader, what’s going on?”

“Cell phone!” Joo Won shouted.

Ha-eun, who was crouching with a hiccup, looked at him, wondering what he was talking about.

“Miss Ha-eun, can you call someone from your phone?”

“P-phone?”

Only then did Ha-eun look down on her cell phone.

I think the door is locked but I have a cell phone, so I can ask for help over the phone.

But the next moment, Ha-eun recalled that this place was out of signal.

I turned on my phone screen in a hurry, but it was still showing that I was out of signal.

“I-I’m out of signal.”

“Damn it!”

“Boom!” I heard Joo Won hitting the door hard again.

Surprised by the sound, Ha-eun shrank her shoulders. I’ve never seen Joo Won so thrilled before.

A month since she worked on the main member’s team. For a month, Ha-eun had never even seen Joo Won raise his voice or get irritated, let alone angry.

She found it surprising that a man who showed no sign of displeasure was this thrilled.

“I-It’s okay. Team leader, if they know we didn’t show up for work tomorrow morning, they’ll find us.”

Ha-eun’s naive words came to Joo Won’s ear, who was controlling his emotions with his forehead on a door that didn’t budge.

It can’t be. He smiled in vain.

It wasn’t like other people couldn’t find the two that he was worried about now. He breathed hard and turned to Ha-eun.

The warehouse was spacious and full of black darkness. Nevertheless, Ha-eun was clearly seen in Joo Won’s eyes. She still looked small, thin and soft from the moment he first saw her.

And she smelled crazy good.

“Miss Kim Ha-eun, listen carefully.” Joo Won stood still and said without approaching Ha-eun.

On the other side, Ha-eun, who was holding her cell phone tightly, was seen approaching him.

You can’t do that. He reached out his arms and raised his palms to her.

“No, stand there and listen. Don’t come to me.”

“C-can’t you stay with me?”

I’m scared because it’s dark. Ha-eun asked, trying not to look back.

I want to be with you. It was scary and a little cold.

Joo Won was about to burst into laughter at Ha-eun’s appearance. This woman has no idea that the most dangerous thing for her right now is Park Joo Won.

“No, don’t come up to me and stand there and listen.”

Ha-eun was crying in Joo Won’s eyes. Damn it. He cursed inwardly.

“No matter what happens in the future, you never, ever have to scream or be scared.”

What are you talking about? Ha-eun’s eyes widened. She couldn’t understand what Joo Won was talking about.

“What do you mean? What’s going on?”

Don’t tell me there’s a ghost coming out of this warehouse? The expression on Ha-eun’s face came to his mind, so Joo Won laughed bitterly.

What she sees in the future is nothing like a ghost. Unlike ghosts, who don’t have a psychical form, Joo Won has a form.

“I’m very…..”

Joo Won, who had said this far, clenched his teeth.

His heart started beating violently. His wild pulses ran through his veins and rushed to his fingers and toes.

Damn it. Joo Won leaned down, clasping his left chest. Not yet. No way.

“T-Team Leader?”

When Joo Won’s appearance was unusual, Ha-eun was surprised and tried to approach him again.

“N-no, don’t come.” Joo-won gasped and held out his hand to Ha-eun.

She must not come. He quickly glanced around.

Is there something that can stop me? However, this place was created so that he would be imprisoned on his own on the full moon of every month in the first place. There was no way there’s something in this place.

“Team Leader.”

Ha-eun’s voice shook. Joo Won raised his hand and touched the wall. His nails grew rapidly and his knuckles thickened. But it soon went back to normal as if it had never happened.

“I-It’s okay.” Joo Won gasped and said.

It’s okay. Ha-eun will be fine.

He would always come to this place and lock himself up in order not to attack others on the full moon but he knew he wouldn’t attack Ha-eun.

Every time Joo Won changed, he would kick his tongue as if he was pathetic. I’d rather have it “imprinted.”

If you imprint, you don’t have to go through the “change”, which you have to go through every month. You can live in a much more stable human world.

But so far he has not imprinted on anyone yet. The imprint is fatal. For a werewolf, imprinting is the act of splitting their heart in half and giving it to the other.

“I…”

Joo Won, who went so far, closed his eyes tightly. This is because the view became clear and bright in an instant. If it were bright here now, Ha-eun would have seen Joo Won’s eyes turn amber.

“Attack, I won’t do it.”

Attack? Ha-eun’s eyes widened. She was looking at Joo Won, who suddenly began to gasp, with his shoulders shrinking.

Ha-eun had a strange feeling. Joo Won, who was in pain, felt sexy.

I think I’m crazy. Ha-eun shook her head. It’s crazy to feel sexy on him when he’s in pain.

“Y-you don’t need to be scared….”

Joo Won, who said so far, kneeled on the floor, so Ha-eun ran to him in surprise.

“Team Leader!”

I told you not to come! Joo Won tried to say that, but it didn’t come out of his mouth. He could feel Ha-eun’s hand touching his shoulder. At that moment his reason not to attack her flew away.

Joo Won came to Ha-eun.

“Ah!”

Ha-eun found herself lying on the floor the next moment. Only Joo Won’s eyes were shining amber in the middle of the dark warehouse.

“What is this…..”

I’ve never seen a person’s eyes shine. No, more than that, I didn’t know that human and Korean eyes could be amber.

Joo Won’s neat and handsome face combined with his pumpkin-colored eyes, which instantly lost touch with reality.

“T-Team Leader?”

Joo Won, who climbed onto Ha-eun’s body, grabbed her arm and lowered his head. Slowly, he put his nose in the back of Ha-eun’s neck and began to smell it.

“Team Leader?”

Ha-eun, who was struggling with embarrassment and shame, called Joo Won but he didn’t respond.

His strength was so strong that his arm, which grasped Ha-eun’s arm, did not move.

Joo Won’s hair touched her cheek. It was much softer and smelled better than I thought.

“Gasp!”

At that moment, Joo Won licked Ha-eun’s neck. Ha-eun shrank in surprise and called Joo Won.

“T-Team Leader?”

What the hell is going on? Joo Won acted as if he was going to kill her a while ago, but now this doesn’t feel like it at all.

Although it felt threatening, it did not feel life-threatening at all. Joo Won’s lips licking her neck slowly moved to Ha-eun’s cheek, then moved to her nose.

And he tried to touch her lips.

“S-stop.”
