Indeed, he had once been a savior to her family, for which she was deeply grateful. It's difficult to find a way to repay such kindness.

Unable to free herself from his grip, Kang Haerin knew he hadn't given up his intentions, so she pulled her shawl slightly over her shoulders.

He could only see the snowy white shoulders covered in kisses, mingled with bite marks, revealing the intense affection she had experienced the night before.

"I am now already Kim Minji's. Therefore, please..."

"How could she treat you like this!"

Haerin thought Bo Hyun would back off on his own, but suddenly he reddened his eyes, rudely taking off the light pink outer robe draped over her shoulders, angrily saying: "Kim Minji, that beast! Haerin, come with me, I promise not to treat you like this!"

"Please don't do this!"

Adjusting the outer robe on her shoulders, Kang Haerin suppressed her tears, her voice trembling as she felt humiliated: "I am truly grateful to you for saving my family, but in the future, please consider me without any obligation. I won't go with you, I'll stay here and go nowhere."

"You fear I cannot control myself, is that it?" He sneered before laughing scornfully, "Don't you trust the savior of your family? Even if she is the official heir of this clan, don't forget my family has also contributed a lot to it."

Bo Hyun withdrew his hands which had been grasping hers tightly, coldly laughing: "I've used so many schemes to find a way to get you out of here, and what's the result? Haerin, I didn't expect you to be like this, so naive that your mind is completely foolish. Enjoying it, aren't you? Even the savior of your family was neglected by you. I've misjudged you."

Each word felt like a sharp blade, making Haerin want to retort, but Bo Hyun looked at her provocatively.

"Haerin, if you don't leave with me today, you'll regret it for the rest of your life," Bo Hyun threatened, "I've tried every means to protect you, but you don't want it. If one day you're abandoned by her, don't remember me."

Bo Hyun's hand stopped in mid-air, his face deep in thought, suddenly retracting his hand as he looked at the figure cast on the stairs twenty meters away from where they stood.

"Where is the steward? Escort the guest."

Kim Minji didn't care about social etiquette or family relationships; her cold words shattered all of his intentions, leaving him nothing but anger but unable to do anything but leave.

Kang Haerin saw kmj, then revealed a gentle smile, moving closer to her, but Kim Minji pulled her back as soon as she approached.

"Did that guy touch you?"

Kang Haerin shook her head, but the evidence was clear, she couldn't defend herself, she could only tremble and bow her head without a word.

Kim Minji, with a little force, made Kang Haerin groan in pain.

"What did you tell me last night, do you remember?"

Seeing Haerin's slight nod, Kim Minji's face, no longer dark with anger, became contemplative, with a gaze as if pondering deeply.

Due to last night's excessive indulgence, Haerin's movements were difficult, stumbling occasionally as she followed Kim Minji.

Kim Minji stopped after three steps, two steps back, eyebrows furrowing.

Haerin's face turned slightly red from exhaustion, making people think deeply: "Last night, you... you were like that... now my body might be a bit weak."

The sight of Kang Haerin's exhausted appearance made Kim Minji feel unexpectedly relieved, sitting on the tea chair, her beautiful figure strangely easy on the eye.

It was rare to see her so content. Haerin was about to sit next to kmj, slowly moving to the chair, but Kim Minji put down the tea cup.

"Take it off."

"Huh?"

Haerin froze, not understanding what was happening.

This phrase always preceded her humiliation in her past life. But now, she was naïve and didn't know what to do.

The atmosphere around Haerin became cold, Kim Minji's gaze darkened, exuding a coldness.

"I.... I got it..."

Haerin's hands trembled as she began to remove her outer garment, followed by her inner garment and underwear, unable to conceal anything.

Her naked body stood before the large fireplace, trembling with fear, her hands covering herself in front, suddenly gripped by Kim Minji.

Two exposed nipples were not covered, standing cute in the air, like realizing the shy embarrassment standing straight.

"Unnie..."

Haerin called out in despair, her legs softening, helpless.

"Sit here."

"I... I know I was wrong... unnie, please forgive me..."

Haerin is still only 20 years old, so young. If left untreated, her future life will be very miserable...

"Come sit here."

Kim Minji's voice was cold, causing Haerin to tremble. Haerin, frightened, tightly shut her eyes, but she could hear a long sigh. The spot where her flesh had been painfully pinched was now being gently stroked by that hand.

Surprised, Kang Haerin opened her trembling eyes, meeting Kim Minji's gaze filled with empathy.

"Kang Haerin, are you afraid that I will hurt you?"

Haerin couldn't deny it, just bowed her head without saying a word.

Kim Minji's voice became gentle: "You're kneeling like this, so how can I apply the medicine to you?"
