Precautions of a Snakepit - Chapter 32
Won was horrified. He was acting like a flippant bastard, but inside, he was making calculations.
Her hunch was right. Top Dog is not as simple as he seems. He managed to get three things for the price of one by telling Won about the secret room.
First, he reclaimed the wishing power he had granted Won.
Second, he forced Won to find the secret room.
To save Target, Won is now forced to search for a room somewhere in the hospital. For some reason, that’s in line with Top Dog’s goal of finding it.
In the end, Won has moved in his favor. What’s more, she has no choice but to cooperate with him no matter how twisted he is. It would be incredibly inefficient for her to go search on her own with a limited amount of time.
Third, Top Dog proved that he isn’t on the hospital side: if he is in cahoots with them, there is no reason to use Won to find out the location of the room. He is an outsider who is unaffiliated with the hospital. He has proven to her that he isn’t the enemy when she was suspicious of him, wondering if he was a mole or a distraction from her mission.
‘What a bastard.’
She can’t let her guard down. He looks like a moody bastard but acts as if he doesn’t want to be a pain in the a$s. He’s playing mind games, isn’t that cheating?
‘D*sgusting as a human being, but not bad as a collaborator.’
After a short silence, Won spoke up.
“Okay. We’ll see how things go tomorrow, and if it is how you say, we’ll work together to find the secret room.”
“Sounds like I’m going on a late-night date with a pretty girl.”
Won didn’t know why he called the search operation a “late-night date.” It would be useless to argue, so she just stated her conditions.
“We’ll search at night when the CCTV is off, like tonight, and whichever of us finds the secret place first, we will share the information. Got it?”
“And let’s pretend we’re in a relationship, sweetheart. Better yet, let’s really be in a relationship.”
“What? Why?”
“Because now that you and I are working together, we are going to be sticking together a lot more. It will be less suspicious if we’re in a relationship, just like you did with the Jin assh*le.”
At this point, she realized she was being played. It wasn’t his intuition or sixth sense.
Won shuddered at the realization that she had been perfectly spied on.
“Why in the daytime? We can meet at night and search.”
“Oh, you can do that, but not me?”
Top Dog arched his eyebrows in disgust.
“You’re going to break my heart and make me look alone on our late-night date, aren’t you?”
“It’s not just my loss if you don’t come out, it’s yours too.”
“No, it isn’t. I don’t mind being a few weeks late, but will the cub you want to save be alive by then?”
Won clenched her fists. He was right and she had the higher sense of urgency out of the two. The longer she waited, the less likely Target would survive, but to use that as blackmail was evil.
There was nothing wrong with Top Dog’s argument in principle. If they were going to cooperate, it should be as easy as possible for them to make contact. If she needed it later, it would be better to use it, but it wouldn’t hurt if she didn’t need it. It’s like having an app on your phone that you’re not sure if you will use or not, but if it looks useful, you install it anyway.
The same goes for paving stones of a relationship with Top Dog. When the time comes to use them, she will either use them well or not at all.
Won decided to let go of her bias and choose the best path.
“We’re only pretending to be together in front of the CCTV, but remember, if it goes any further, it’s only out of collaboration, and I’ll beat the life out of you.”
She wasn’t kidding. She didn’t need a collaborator who would cross the line. If he was out of control, she wouldn’t know if he was more of a bomb or an ally.
“Any complaints?”
Top Dog responded by bowing like a butler. Just as Won was about to say something at the unseemly politeness, a sharp beep sounded. The nurses would be back in ten minutes and the CCTV would be up and running.
“That’s it for today’s date. Want me to walk you to your room?”
Top Dog naturally held out his hand. He, too, knew the connection between the sound and the cameras.
Without replying, Won climbed the stairs. She could feel him waving after her, but she didn’t look back.
Back in her room, Won lay down on the bed and opened her eyes, looking down at her watch under the covers.
‘47, 48…’
The IR LED of the CCTV came on, faster than ten minutes. She checked the time as soon as she heard the beep, and today it took less than seven minutes for the cameras to turn back on.
‘I’m glad I came early.’
If she waited 10 minutes like last time, she would be in trouble.
Closing her eyes, Won tried to sleep. However, her entire body was on high alert, so it was difficult.
A missing Target and unplanned cooperation with Top Dog.
‘Was everything he said true?”
It could be true that there is a hidden room somewhere, but there was no guarantee that Target was there. Maybe he was already taken care of by the hospital, and Won was just acting as Top Dog’s hound.
‘If Top Dog lied about Target being taken there in order to find the back room…’
She will make sure he pays the price.
This wasn’t about revenge. It was the honor of the organization, not the individual. For his own safety, Top Dog must pray that Target is in the secret room.
Won thought about Target, the man who called her his ray of light.
‘I hope he’s safe.’
Not just because it was her mission, but because she felt responsible for the man who saw her as his savior. He could be trapped somewhere, desperately waiting for Won to rescue him.
She felt bad for him. How anxious he must be…
‘Huh?’
As she was thinking about him, an ugly scene popped into her mind. Top Dog was unabashedly m*sturbating with his pants down. Won frowned and felt like her brain was polluted.
‘Let’s think about good things.’
Won recalled the good things she has recently seen. The innocent face of Target and the sassy face of Black Cat. Recalling the aesthetically flawless images seemed to clear her mind a bit.
Won concentrated harder. Target’s eyebrows, long enough to cast shadows across his cheeks, his deep almond-shaped eyes, his chiseled nose, and Top Dock’s thick c*ck…
‘F*ck.’
Why is it that the less the human brain wants to think of something, the more it does the opposite? Is it to cause the master pain?
Like seeing a d*sgusting bug and being haunted by its image for the rest of the day, Won realized that the scene had been imprinted in her mind.
‘This is why I should only see the good in life.’
With a grimace, Won pulled the covers up to her forehead.
Against the saccharine darkness, Top Dog’s expression, his moving hand, and the pulsing of his c*ck all came alive. Even his deep, muffled voice, demanded things.
“Hah, sweetheart, would you like to come and spit on your oppa’s c*ck?”
‘F*ck.”
Won wasn’t normally someone who swears, but the thought of that man made her want to curse. She could write a symphony of expletives when it came to that man.
How insane does one have to be to casually do such a perverted thing in full view of others?
Won imagined herself taking off her pants and m*sturbating in front of others.
‘I’d rather jump out a window.’
It’s not normal to do something you wouldn’t do even if you were paid.
‘… Was he proud of it?’
Did he want to show it off to the whole neighborhood every chance he got? Men often attach a lot of pride to certain body parts. If they are big enough, they’ll have a thousand years of bragging rights.
‘I’m pretty sure he was.’
It felt like it should’ve been between the legs of a male horse, not between that of a human. It was intimidating. She could wrap her hands around it and it would still be the length of a pole remaining. If something like that could fit inside…
She shuddered thinking about it. It isn’t impossible since she could give birth, but she felt like she would be interacting with something other than human. Her pelvis would be opened up and her legs wouldn’t be able to close properly. Even though it was unlikely, she couldn’t help but worry about the size.
‘He has no conscience if he would put something like that in someone else’s body.’
But in the end, the nurse on top of him was happy to f*ck him. Especially when Top Dog grabbed her waist and rammed into her, she let out a moan-like scream, as if she lost her mind. Won didn’t know if it was because she never saw anyone have s*x before, or if she’s just never had that, or if Top Dog is good at it.
Won shook her head and came to her senses. At a time like this, she’d rather sleep, so she forced herself to rest.
The next day, Target didn’t show up for breakfast or lunch. When Won inquired about him, the nurse gently replied.
“Jin has been discharged by his guardian.”
