Ch-3 "Do You Hate Me ? "

Yan Zhen's feelings toward Shin-Se-Gi were a mix of strong emotions. She disliked him greatly because of his rude and quick-tempered nature. He often spoke like a tough guy, and she also feared him. Her hatred for him stemmed from the fact that he had abducted her from her home three years ago and brought her to his palace, known as the Devil's Den.

In this complicated relationship, Yan Zhen couldn't make up her mind about how she truly felt. On one hand, she truly loathed him, but on the other hand, she also felt a sense of gratitude. She struggled to reconcile these conflicting emotions because, despite her strong dislike, he had gone to great lengths to rescue her in this dangerous situation. This left her feeling both torn and uncertain about her feelings for him.

As Shin-Se-Gi charged into the scene, his eyes were locked on Yan Zhen, and he was determined to reach her. But a group of burly men quickly formed a human wall, blocking his way. The gang leader chimed in with a mocking tone, "Whoa, hold on there, buddy! You're not here to play the hero and save her. You're here to meet your doom, just like the rest of us."

Shin-Se-Gi was already on edge, and the gang's taunts and provocations only made things worse. He clenched his fist, ready to take on the group and free Yan Zhen. But before he could throw a punch, a large net was thrown over him, trapping him like a fish in a net. He struggled, pulling and cursing, his frustration pouring out.

The net wrapped around him, limiting his movements and making him feel trapped and powerless. Amid this chaotic scene, he couldn't hold back his anger, and he let loose a barrage of furious curses at the gang leader who had orchestrated this cunning move. The air was thick with his expletives, each word punctuated by a surge of raw and unbridled rage. He desperately fought to break free, all the while keeping his eyes locked on Yan Zhen, the one glimmer of hope in the midst of their dire circumstances.

The gang leader, in a moment of cruel authority, urged Shin-Se-Gi not to exhaust himself with futile struggles. He offered a glimmer of hope, proposing that if Shin-Se-Gi followed his commands, he might show leniency and spare both their lives. However, if they refused to comply, their fate would be sealed in that very place.

This declaration prompted Shin-Se-Gi to cease his frantic movements. He stood there in an unsettling silence, his eyes locked onto the gang leader. Finally, he spoke, his voice calm and measured. He requested the gang leader to articulate his demands then gang leader, stating, "Given that the Devil's Palace is under your control, impervious even to the king's reach, i want Mu Shi, who is currently in your custody, be released. In return, I shall grant the freedom of both of you." Shin-Se-Gi responded with a mocking smile, his words tinged with sarcasm. He retorted, "Do you believe this is your in-laws' house, where you can simply come in and make demands? The person you're asking for was long ago was killed by my hand." The leader, seething with anger, wore a sinister smile as he declared, "Considering you've already taken the life of someone dear to me, it's only fitting that I claim one in return. This makes it a fair arrangement, wouldn't you agree? You can now decide who lives and who meets their end." With that statement, a knife was ominously placed in front of Shin-Se-Gi, setting the stage for a grim decision.

shin -Se -Gi just looked at the leader and then told him to leave her and then he took the knife and then started cutting the net that surrounded him and then he stood in front of the woman he loved and he stared at her and started saying

" Do you hate me because i look ugly? " 

he inquired, his tone heavy with self-doubt. Without waiting for an answer, he plunged the knife into his own flesh, the pain a testament to his love for Yan Zhen.

" Do you hate me because i am barbarian"?

then one more stab

"do you hate me because i am uneducated"?

stab ....

 "Or is it the anger that sometimes consumes me?

stab .....

"do you hate me because i forced you to stay with me "

stab ....

"do you hate me because i loved you more than myself"?

 With each question, the knife delved deeper into his flesh, echoing the profound love he felt for Yan Zhen, a love that had driven him to such desperate measures.

With a touch to her cheek, Shin-Se-Gi expressed a heartfelt sentiment, saying, "Stay in my palace, and my shadow guard will ensure your safety." His words were laden with sincerity and care as he attempted to reassure Yan Zhen.

He continued, his voice filled with a mix of longing and sadness, "I crossed an entire ocean to find you, but it seems you crossed other one just to remain distant from me." The depth of his emotions was evident in those words, underscoring the immense effort he had put into reuniting with her, despite the emotional chasm that separated them.

Gently cupping her cheeks in his hands, Shin-Se-Gi spoke with a soft and sincere tone, expressing his heartfelt desires, "I long to see you smile, to share a kiss with you, and to hold you close and to fuck you hard but Why, though, did my love fail to reach you? Why couldn't you hear my desperate pleas, as I implored you? If I had known that these would be our final moments together, I would have cherished and adored you more, spending countless more days by your side, showering you with love and affection." His words were a poignant reflection of the depth of his feelings and the weight of missed opportunities. 

As the words started to falter, and Shin-Se-Gi's strength waned due to the loss of blood, he yearned to express more but found himself unable to. Instead, he noticed a profound reaction from Yan Zhen – she began to cry. It was a momentous occasion, as she hadn't shed tears even when she lost her mother or her beloved dog. Witnessing her tears, brought on by the depths of her emotions, Shin-Se-Gi couldn't help but be moved.

With his bloodied attire, he pulled her into a tender embrace, holding her close and assuring her to remember him. He urged her to stay safe as he devised plans to protect her, ensuring her well-being even in his absence. This moment was a poignant testament to the love and sacrifice he was willing to endure for her.
