Bitten by a Dog


    I clicked my tongue in frustration and clenched my bag strap, fingernails digging into my palm. The pain


    gave me an odd sense offort.


    Suddenly, As’s phone rang. He looked at me and answered, “Yeah?”


    A woman’s voice said, “As, where are you?”


    “I’m busy,” he replied coldly.


    “Do you want toe out? Maybe you cane to my ce?” The woman’s voice turned tender.


    “Another time. I’m busy right now,” As responded and hung up.


    1 felt awkward and said, “Mr. As, you seem busy. I’ll take


    my leave.”


    Without waiting for his response, I headed toward the exit. However, he quickly held me. I yelped In


    surprise as he turned me to face him. He was about to kiss me when he saw something on my neck.


    He asked angrily, “What happened here?! Who did this?!”


    I was puzzled. I looked at As with panic, saying, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”


    He grabbed my wrist tightly and led me to an exquisite bathroom with mirrors on the entire wall. As


    pushed me toward one of the mirrors and said, ‘See for yourself! Don’t tell me you can’t remember


    whot


    did this.”


    I saw a hickey on my cor. I froze for a moment, and then it hit me. It was Matthew. I gritted my teeth


    and silently cursed. Then, I looked at it again with anger.


    As pried, “Who was it?!”


    I tugged at my cor and tried to pull away from his grip. However, he held onto me firmly. “I got bitten


    by a dog! You can’t expect me to bite back, can you?”


    “Tell me who did it!” he demanded,


    I remained silent, ncing at the handprint on my wrist. I knew it would turn into a bruise tomorrow,


    As.


    seemed to realize it and attempted to inspect my wrist. I pulled it away, not allowing him to see.


    “I’m leaving!”


    He trapped me between his arms and repeated, “Tell me who did it.”


    I met his piercing gaze and replied, ‘Does it matter? Regardless of who it was, I had to endure it alone.


    I have my ws and epted them. I don’t need anyone’s kindness and have no reason to depend on


    anyone.


    Atles lowered his eyes, still looking at my face. His cold expression softened slightly.


    I choked up and continued, “I’d like to talk to you. But when I see your coldness, I feel there’s no need


    to talk anymore. I’m afraid of troubling you and embarrassing myself. No matter how deep the feelings


    are, it’s meaningless if two people shouldn’t be together.


    “Letting me go is also a way of finding peace for yourself! Isn’t that for the best?” My voice quivered,


    and I


    lowered my gaze.


    As pulled my cor. I tried to move away, but he pulled–me back in frustration. My attempt to evade


    him angered him.


    His expression changed, and his tone turned harsh. “You allowed someone else to kiss you there?”


    My heart stung. I wanted to retort but couldn’t find the words.


    He red at me and kissed me. His lips traveled from my chest to my neck, igniting a passionate fire


    within me.


    I tried to push As away, but he held me tighter. His actions were no longer forceful and aggressive,


    and I couldn’t escape him. His kiss had stirred something within me. I bit his lip, causing him to release


    me


    with a painful grunt.


    I let out a frustrated sigh, muttering, “What is this? What do you take me for?”


    He pounded the mirror behind me and growled, “You’re right, what the hell is this?!”


    My heart raced as As’s sudden outburst left me trembling and uncertain.


    ‘Do you hate being with me so much? Don’t you understand everything I’ve done? I told you to trust


    me,


    no matter what. Can’t you do that? Where’d your intelligence go?!” As’s sudden interrogation


    surprised me
