The Cursed Night [ MICHAENG ]

Chapter 20

Courthouse

Mina and Chaeyoung were registering their marriage at the local district office. He wanted to claim his family. The two hugged as soon as they left the room.

"You are officially my wife," he said, kissing her hand tenderly.

"I am always yours, Chaeyoung," she whispered before embracing him tightly, her face pressed against his chest.

On the other hand,

Sooae was with Siwon in the hotel's restaurant. The two were immersed in a deep conversation about mental health. Siwon was charming, charismatic, and gentle. Every girl would fall for him—and Sooae was no exception. She giggled shyly at a joke he cracked. Her cheeks turned pink when he gently caressed her cheek with his thumb. She didn't yank his hand away. Instead, she closed her eyes briefly and leaned into his touch, savoring the warmth.

He cleared his throat and leaned back. "Shall we continue talking about the project?"

"Yes," she repeated softly, tucking a strand of her long black hair behind her ear while looking down at the paper in her hands.

"Oh, I forgot the black file! I'll grab it from my room," Siwon said, getting up.

"I'll join you. I need to use the bathroom too."

"Sure." Siwon smirked as he followed behind her.

The two entered the fancy suite, and in no time, he pinned her to the nearest wall. His lips crashed onto hers in a rough, hungry kiss. Sooae didn't resist. She was aroused, breathless, and lost in the moment. He carried her to the bed and lay on top of her. Neither noticed the small camera hidden on the bookshelf—silently recording every second of their heated encounter.

Bobby entered his luxurious, modern house. He untied his necktie and slipped off his shoes, sighing after a long, draining day with Jimin.

"Teenager Bobby would be shocked at this new wealthy Bobby," said Chaeyoung, sitting in the dark.

Bobby gasped and turned on the lights, only to find his old best friend on the couch.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" Bobby asked angrily.

"Visiting my old friend," Chaeyoung replied, getting up. He walked over to the coffee table and picked up a framed picture of Bobby, Sohyun, and a one-year-old boy. "Who now has a family with my ex-girlfriend. I wonder if Sohyun knows about your other family too. Lucky for you, she's on vacation."

"I'll fucking murder you if you say anything to her," Bobby growled, reaching for his gun.

He froze when he felt cold metal against the back of his head.

"Put your gun down," Minho ordered calmly.

Bobby complied instantly, his jaw clenched.

Chaeyoung sat back on the single couch and exhaled with a smirk. "You're a failure. You didn't even notice Minho's presence. Some bodyguard you are."

"What do you want?" Bobby snapped.

"I want you to suffer," Chaeyoung growled, eyes burning with hatred. "I want you to be miserable for what you did to me all these years. You were always jealous of me. But look at you now—still just a useless bodyguard. I'm wealthier, stronger, and far beyond your level. You took everything from me. But now... I have more than you ever will."

Bobby's face darkened. He glared at Chaeyoung and gritted his teeth. "You'll always be an obedient dog. You really wanna keep taking orders from Jimin and Sooae? Is that the life you dreamed of?"
