Kidnapped Dragons (KR Web Novel)

Bullshit.

That’s probably what Yeorum would have said if she was here.

It seemed he had indeed become quite used to daily lives, considering how a nonchalant action of Myu made him feel a sense of danger. The arrow was pointing at Bom but that was no reason for him to stay out of it.

“Enough. Let’s start moving.”

“I’m asking you to blow it.”

“Even if I do blow it, how will you make a flower.”

“Didn’t the man just twist it a few times?”

“Would there be a crowd watching him if it was that simple? The performer’s gone already so it’s impossible. Let’s get moving.”

Myu reluctantly turned her body but soon grinned after seemingly coming up with a good idea.

“Let us buy some clothes then.”

***

She knew a day like this would come.

She had seen the future shown by Providence once.

It was a vivid memory but she didn’t want to remember it so she lived while consciously looking away from it.

However, she couldn’t stop her unconsciousness from displaying it in a dream.

How many times had she woken up in the middle of the night in a fright? Every time, she would wipe the cold sweat on her forehead with the back of her hand while gasping for breath.

Her heart would thump like crazy.

She was too anxious to do nothing but watch. Yu Jitae had his own field of activity and there were unfortunately a lot of black-haired women within that area. Therefore, Bom vowed to herself to become friends with all the black-haired women.

The people she had gotten close to in the Association including Zhuge Haiyan and Kang Ahjin all had something in common – it was that they were Asian and naturally, they both had black hair.

She had added those uncertain elements into her own world, hoping to have some level of control over the upcoming future.

In the process, she also made everyone see how Yu Jitae was hers. Fortunately, the default marriage trend in this world called Earth was 1 on 1. Bom had been trying her hardest within the scope that wouldn’t interfere with Yu Jitae’s life.

After trying it, she realised it wasn’t difficult to befriend them. Her uneasiness of how anyone might betray her anytime increased over time as she got closer to them, but it was bearable.

Even if there were other black-haired women in the future, Bom thought it would be possible to easily befriend them.

That was until she saw Myu.

“…”

Due to the suffocatingly repulsive feeling that constantly rose up, Bom simply couldn’t smile like usual and become friends.

This ‘vacation’ was a part of Yu Jitae’s job and he had talked of how important this was. She could not afford to make a single mistake but the moment she saw the white hand reaching out with the balloon, she became emotional and made a mistake.

It seemed that Myu had noticed her relationship with Yu Jitae.

Adult black dragons are addicted to chaos and every one of their actions lead to chaos. They break relationships, destroy worlds and kill existences. That was what she heard from her father when she was young.

It was clear what Myu would try to do, now that she saw through their relationship.

At a clothing store in Paris, Myu took several one-piece dresses and walked into a dressing room.

Soon, she called Yu Jitae.

“My hand does not reach my back and I cannot raise the zipper all the way up. Plus, my mana has not recovered enough to use telekinesis yet.”

“So what do you want.”

“Come and lift the zipper for me. Just a few times will do.”

Yu Jitae frowned in response while Myu irritatedly opened her mouth. “Hurry up,” she said. “How can you waste my precious holiday like this?”

And Yu Jitae on the other hand, was temperamentally refusing to do so.

However, Bom’s eyes were fixed on his hand. Imagining that hand touching the zipper, that’s low down the dress Myu was wearing…

It overlapped with the image of Yu Jitae’s hand touching the white back of a black-haired woman.

His hand touching the shoulder blades of the woman; his cuddling arm; his face as he looked up at the black-hair.

It happened in an instant – Bom was moving by the time she realised it. She grabbed Yu Jitae by his arm to stop him, and walked past him to enter the changing room.

“Let me do it.”

Feeling the strange atmosphere, Yu Jitae grabbed her arm back and her body turned with a flick. He looked at her face.

Bom couldn’t even guess the look that was on her face but Yu Jitae released her arm after seeing her expression.

She closed the door of the dressing room behind her. Bom had to stay in the tiny room right next to the black-hair, even though she did not even want to spend 1 second together.

Seeing her face, Myu scoffed.

“I knew it.”

As expected, she had seen through it.

Bom avoided looking into her eyes and waited, so that she could raise the zipper the moment she turned around, but Myu did not turn.

“I knew something was off from the start.”

With a coquettish voice, she continued.

“I can understand you hating me, because I’ve also been hating you from the time I opened my eyes.”

Black dragons were expelled from Askalifa, and the current owner of Askalifa was a green dragon. The hatred between the two races was even larger than the animosity between the blue and the red race.

“But I could not understand why you were constantly nagging me, but now I do…”

She raised her hand and grabbed onto Bom’s chin. Bom raised her chin and shook the hand off as Myu lifted the corners of her lips in response.

“You must be intimate with that male. Am I right?”

“…”

“That’s truly bizarre. How can such a thing happen? Infant dragons cannot hold an affection for a human. It cannot be done and should thus be blocked by the Origin Fragment.”

The emotion of first love was powerful enough to jolt the whole life of an existence and dragons were beings that were unable to forget such emotions.

“There’s a black-haired slut next to the male you love, and that’s what’s making you nervous right? You’re still quite immature. Do you not realise you are interfering with his work?”

“I am not.”

“Really? Season’s job is to make my vacation more amusing, but aren’t you interrupting with that and making it annoying instead?”

Bom did not feel the need to share any more words. She was conscious of it herself and knew that she hadn’t crossed the line yet.

“Please turn around.”

“For what? Will you strangle me by my neck?”

“…So that I can raise your zipper.”

“Sure. Strange me all you wish.”

Bom knew what she was thinking. Myu was trying to cause an incident, and thus send her off so that she couldn’t annoy her in the remaining time of the vacation.

“Right now is your chance. My body has been weakened from the aftermath of the experiment and cannot use mana, so my neck might break from your grip.”

Along with such words of provocation, she turned around.

Her dress was open from the waist up.

The line around her waist, her long spine, the shoulder blades next to it, the white back and the white neck above.

Bom could feel her eyes twitching.

There was not a single blemish on her white back.

Bom wanted to lower the dress a little to confirm whether this back was the same as the one she had seen. Even though there were no specific elements like moles or scars, she could still tell based on the overall shape of the back.

But if it really was the same, Bom was scared that she might not be able to recover herself. Therefore, she used her trembling hands to raise the zipper.

Zipp–

Myu clicked her tongue.

“But you are quite pitiful yourself.”

She then murmured while looking at the reflection of herself in the mirror.

“To think you would hold an affection for a devilish male like him out of all humans.

“And besides he’s a human regardless. No matter how strong he is, a human is a human and he will definitely die a lot before you. Are you thinking that far ahead?

“…Of course not. What does an immature kid know? That must be why you opened your heart up to a human like that who’s more treacherous than the black race.”

Honestly, she found it quite difficult to control her emotions when she heard that. It didn’t matter if she was the one getting sworn at, but Myu was bad-mouthing Yu Jitae.

But somehow she managed to hold it in. Bom blankly thought to herself.

You kept the line properly.

You held it in very well.

Her mind was a lot tenser than usual, even more so than the balloon before, but she nonetheless succeeded in controlling her emotions.

Well done Yu Bom. Well done…

As if to prove her success, Myu soon gave a frown. She couldn’t chase her off because Bom hadn’t done anything.

But the final advice Myu uninterestedly gave while walking outside wearing the one-piece turned the situation upside down.

“Kid. It is so frustrating that you have no eyes for people. Should I give you one piece of advice as an adult? You better mentally prepare yourself beforehand.”

To be exact, it was the last sentence that snapped her patience.

“Because you will be discarded for sure.”

***

Either probably, or most likely. There was a high chance that her words were unrelated to the vision. It just meant a separation in a male to female relationship but Bom, whose mind was fully occupied with the scene of the Providence, had a hard time making a rational judgement, and she could not get rid of Myu’s words from her brain.

She will be discarded:

Discarded after giving her heart.

Discarded after giving her body.

And what about after discarding me? Who will Yu Jitae meet after that?

A white back under the wide-open one-piece was vivid in her memories. On top of that was the black hair fluttering left and right.

Bom once again felt stifled.

In the midst of such thoughts came dinner. Stopping her hands that were cutting Boudin, a French-style sausage, Myu raised her fork to point at Bom.

“I don’t need her.”

“What’s this about now,” Yu Jitae replied.

With an irritated gaze, Myu looked at Bom.

“Do you not understand what I mean? Make her go back. She is nothing but an interference to my vacation.”

There was no longer any patience left inside Bom.

“But I didn’t do anything?”

“Yes, you have. You constantly nitpick on my words and glare at me with the eyes of a corpse. It is very unpleasant.”

“Have I done anything over the top?”

“There is still a limit to ruining someone else’s mood. Where did this vagrant kid come from…”

Bom twitched her eyes.

“It was you who was always trying to break the law.”

“Bom.”

Yu Jitae called her, telling her to not bother dealing with a rabid dog. Hearing his voice, Bom obediently closed her mouth.

“That’s enough for you as well, Myu.”

“What’s enough? I have never said it is fine for something like that to intervene and ruin my vacation.”

“However, you did promise to not create a social chaos. And everything you have done is all problematic.”

“So what?”

Myu growled with the fork in hand.

“I cannot stand someone inferior telling me what to do in front of my eyes. It’s okay if you do it, but who is that little kid to dare try to control me?”

“Watch your words. Unless you want your vacation to end right now.”

Revealing her fangs, Myu turned the arrowhead at Bom.

“Kid. Can you not read the mood?”

An adult dragon was resolutely exerting its killing intent. Even though she had yet to fully recover her mana, it was enough to pressure Bom.

“Do you not understand I’m telling you to go away?”

“…”

“Do you have no ears? Or perhaps no brain?”

“…”

“Kid. Are you deaf now?”

“I told you that is enough, Myu.”

Yu Jitae opened his mouth but Myu continued flooding out her hatred against Bom without any regard.

“How dare you face me with that dirty look. Go away right now!”

Her oppressive attitude made Bom feel like her brain was being tightened into a string.

“What if I say no?”

“This random bitch. It seems words alone aren’t going to be enough. Huh—?”

It was then. Myu suddenly raised her bowl of soup and threw it at Bom. She had regained a large portion of mana and it thus happened in the blink of an eye. Although the bowl was blocked by Yu Jitae’s hand, the soup splattered on Bom’s clothes and tainted the white frill in orange.

Even then, Bom could hold it in.

She had to.

“Myu. Your vacation will end as of now. You are truly like a beast that cannot comprehend words.”

“Do not utter nonsense at me, you damned human! I’m telling you to get rid of that. How many times do I have to say it? You are the only one that needs to be here!”

But the moment Myu said the likes of, ‘You are the only one I need,’ and threw a sausage at Yu Jitae’s face,

A string that had been barely holding on in her head snapped.

Shooting out of her seat, Bom grabbed the sausage that was flying towards Yu Jitae’s face.

She was out of her mind. By the time she came to herself, her body was already on the move with the sausage in her right hand.

Slam!

It seemed as if she would slap her with a sausage, but no – Bom instead lashed a fist at Myu’s face.
