Regressor Instruction Manual (PART 1)

Chapter 15. Awakening

"Were you worried?" Park Hye-Young asked

"W...Well..." I started.

"You're funny, pretending like you don't know. You were annoyed by how I visited Ms. Ki-Young," she pointed out.

"I-It's not like that, Miss Hye-Young. W-Whatever Ki-Young oppa does...i-it doesn't matter to me..." I explained.

"That's not what your face says..." Park Hye-Young commented.

"I-It's true."

"Stop playing around, you bitch. Do you think that we don't know about your cunning side? You look slow-witted and stupid, but you're pretty smart. It hasn't been that long since you came here, but you managed to hit the jackpot. Is seducing men with that kind of face a good technique...I just don't understand. Or maybe it's the men that have strange tastes. You know, some men are interested in women that are slow-witted. Pfft," Park Hye-Young explained.

I didn't really understand what she was saying.

"Again with that expression. I really don't like it," Park Hye-Young commented.

"I-I-I'm sorry," I apologized.

"What are you apologizing about? I bet you think we're all idiots..." she said.

"I-I don't. I-I just..."

"Do you think that Mr. Ki-Young actually likes you? Do you think that's why he really cherishes you?" Park Hye-Young asked, interrupting me.

"T-That's..."

"Don't flatter yourself, you dumb bitch, you're just really lucky. You were just the first one that caught his attention and somehow got involved with Mr. Ki-Young. You may not know, but I know what kind of person he is. People like Lee Ki-Young don't trust people, to begin with, they get tired of people easily and once a person is of no use to them, they'll cast them aside," Park Hye-Young explained.

"O-Oppa isn't that kind of person. And..."

"That's probably what you want to believe because that kind of belief is what helps you sleep at night. But it's unfortunate since what I said about him is right...things may seem okay right now, but once time passes, things will change. In my eyes, you're the type of person that people easily get tired of. Pfft. Has no one ever told you about this?" Park Hye-Young asked with a smirk.

I bit my lips because I was very confused.

My head was feeling really hot. I wanted to yell out something, but my voice wasn't coming out. My body simply continued to tremble.

"I've never seen you with that expression before. Are you mad? Did I hit a nerve? People have always abandoned you, right?" Park Hye-Young asked.

"N-N-N-N-No, that's not," I answered while stuttering.

"Yeah right. It's written all over your face. If not, then maybe people have taken things from you? Regardless of which one you are, you're just a miserable person. You know, don't keep thinking that you'll always be first. What do you think has been happening over there when you're not looking?" Park Hye-Young asked.

Park Hye-Young's face started getting closer to mine. The moment I heard Park Hye-Young's voice whispering into my ear, I yelled without realizing it.

"You know...Mr. Ki-Young is better than I thought," Park Hye-Young commented.

"S-Stop lying!" I yelled.

"Oh my, looks like I've been caught."

Tears started filling my eyes. I wanted to say something to deny her, but I felt like something kept blocking my throat.
