Chapter 52 - Change of Heart (2)

Chae Nayun slammed the door to her room close, then jumped on her bed.

At first, she was going to simply ask the guys out for a night time snack. But when she was about to knock on their door, she heard them having an interesting conversation and ended up eavesdropping instead.

—I've been thinking about her for far longer than you and I've been watching over her all this time. So I know far more about her than you.

It was the first time she had heard something so direct. It was partly because few men were confident enough to approach her, and it was also because she blocked such situations from happening.

"Is he really crazy?"

What Kim Hajin said still lingered by her ears.

'Should I wash my ears? Or should I have gone in there and smacked his head?' Chae Nayun bounced around on her bed while striking it repeatedly.

"What's going on...?"

And Chae Nayun's seemingly drunk act woke up Yoo Yeonha who was sleeping peacefully.

"Nayun... What are you doing?"

"H-Huh?"

Chae Nayun flinched.

Yoo Yeonha glared at Chae Nayun with narrowed eyes. Why was this woman beating up a poor bedsheet?

"Are you sick or something?"

"I-It's nothing."

Chae Nayun couldn't tell her what she had just heard. She couldn't even imagine telling someone about such personal matters.

"...Then sleep. I'm tired."

Muttering so, Yoo Yeonha plopped back down on her back.

"Uh, yeah, good night. I'm going to sleep too."

Chae Nayun also buried herself under her blanket.

'Right, it doesn't matter. I only overheard it anyways. Regardless of what Kim Hajin's intentions were, I just have to ignore it.'

With such thoughts, Chae Nayun pulled the blanket over her head.

But for some reason, she couldn't fall asleep.

Thinking about her... Watching over her all this time ...

Fragments of Kim Hajin's words kept wandering around her head.

'Watching over me all this time? Is he a stalker? No, if he is, there's no way I wouldn't have noticed him.'

A sharpshooter's senses were extremely sharp. A stalker was someone who secretly took pictures, followed women late at night, and things like that...

Kyaaaak—!!

Suddenly, a high-pitched voice rang out in the mansion. Chae Nayun opened her eyes abruptly and shot up.

"W-What!? Ah, aaak!"

Yoo Yeonha also got up in shock, tripping on her bedsheet and falling down. With her hands on the floor, she glared at Chae Nayun resentfully.

"Chae Nayun! Y-You!"

"No! It wasn't me this time!"

"Then who was it!?"

"...Outside."

Chae Nayun turned the lights on. Just at that moment, lights shone through from under the room, signaling that the lights in the hallway turned on. At the same time, they could hear loud footsteps running around. Yoo Yeonha finally understood the gravity of the situation.
