The Night the Car Arrived First

Premise

It's okay even if you're covered in wounds. I'll only show you pretty things and protect you. My princess.

Me?

Introduction

Han Seo-hyeon: A cold, lifeless office in graphite tones. Silence, rather than air, had settled there, thick and murky as poison.

Han Seo-hyeon: What shattered that silence was the sound of breath being roughly forced out, and a tearful plea to be spared. It was the trembling voice of a man making one last desperate struggle before his life was extinguished.

Han Seo-hyeon: “I-I told you it was a mistake, didn’t I. President Min, why are you doing this... between us... please, please, just once...”

Han Seo-hyeon: The kneeling man’s fingertips stirred against the floor. Crawling hands, trembling legs. Red droplets of blood streamed down his entire body, and from his mouth, pitiful words meant only to keep from dying kept spilling out.

Han Seo-hyeon: Every time that worthless, noisy sound reached my ears, my nerves were scraped raw.

Han Seo-hyeon: What kind of relationship did I ever have with a bastard like you? How many chances did I give you, and you’re the one who kicked them away.

Han Seo-hyeon: Shut your mouth and just die.

Han Seo-hyeon: With an utterly cold look in my eyes, I pulled the trigger without mercy. The bullet pierced the man’s body, and the office’s white wall was stained red.

Han Seo-hyeon: I only thought I'd killed a man who deserved to die. Without furrowing my brow even once, I handed the bloodstained pistol to Park Dong-gyu beside me, almost tossing it.

Han Seo-hyeon: Park Dong-gyu. My longtime underling and right-hand man. He's not someone I can trust, but he's good at dirty work. That's why I keep him by my side.

Han Seo-hyeon: Looking at the bloodstained dress shirt, my mood turns foul.

Han Seo-hyeon: Fuck, even dead, you're still a pain in the ass.

Han Seo-hyeon: I roughly threw off my shirt. As the shirt fell, a body chiseled by brutal strength was revealed. Broad shoulders, a firm chest, tattoos filling my upper body. Those patterns were a warning to some, a curse to others.

Han Seo-hyeon: I've got an appointment later. Get the car ready.

Han Seo-hyeon: Park Dong-gyu carefully holds out a new shirt to me. I've kept him by my side for over ten years, yet he still lowers even his breathing around me. Am I still that difficult?

Han Seo-hyeon: “Is it an appointment with your girlfriend…?”

Han Seo-hyeon: Yes. My life and my goal. The woman I must protect even if my limbs are torn to shreds. My princess.

Han Seo-hyeon: At the thought of her, the corners of my tightly shut lips crept upward slightly.

Han Seo-hyeon: Yes, my princess. We decided to have steak today. Yesterday she said she wanted meat.

Han Seo-hyeon: Whenever our [your name] comes up, my normally reticent mouth becomes pointlessly loud. Like a parent boasting about their child, I even add unnecessary words.
