Kidnapped Dragons (KR Web Novel)

After saying his words, he felt time coming to a freeze.

Her face turned stiff and so did her entire body.

Her eyes tainted with fluster was quivering and she had trouble putting words together.

“What—”

She cut her words off, before screaming with a sharp voice.

“What utter nonsense are you talking abouttttt—!!”

The magic arrow in her hand turned larger as the enveloping light turned brighter. The light touching Gyeoul’s blue hair started snapping the hairs of the dragon despite simply coming into contact. The water-coloured strands of hair were one by one falling to the floor, but he continued shouting.

“Give me a little bit of time! And give me the opportunity to atone for my sins! When that day comes, promise me our future! Let’s have children together! And let’s change this relationship which began from our deceit into the truth! Isn’t that what you told me yourself!?!”

He took a large stride forward, as she stepped back on reflex.

His words appeared to have rang her heart in some way or another, and she looked a little frightened.

It was evident from how the killing intent oozing out of her body was now so immense that it was suppressing the entire dimension, in spite of the tentacles still not being able to attack the baby dragons.

He took another step forward.

“Ahh–!”

She yelled while grabbing her head. Then, she flew up with Gyeoul in her grip.

Breaking through the ceiling of the cruise ship, she headed outside. In her dragonite form, she spread her large jet-black wings far apart.

“Yu Bom–!”

He followed suit with a shout. Even though his crushed and dislocated legs were trying to force him down onto his knees, he chased after her.

She flew off to the other side of the outer dimension. Although he could catch up to her if he sped up, he still didn’t dare do so because the ballista was in her right hand, while Gyeoul was still hanging under her left hand.

The magic arrow shone brightly within the darkness of the outer dimension.

And at last, when he saw the stern look on her face as if she had made up her mind,

The hope he had been blabbering about till now, rapidly started to be extinguished.

Thus, he screamed.

“Let us live—.”

Even though it might be a life filled with series of hardships, hatred and resentment,

They would have to be alive to quench those problems, won’t they…

“Live together with me. Bom—!!”

Her hand moved.

Time lengthened like cheese.

The arrowhead at the tip of the ballista turned brighter.

Her face turned fierce like that of a devil.

Yu Jitae screamed. Stop. He wailed.

Her finger approached the trigger.

And when she slowly began to pull the trigger,

He dashed forward like a bolt of lightning.

She raised the ballista and pointed it at the head.

His eyes ripped open from the unbelievable scenery in front of his eyes – it was because she had released Gyeoul’s neck.

The devilish look was not there anymore.

She looked down at him with a hazy look on her face.

The head the ballista was pointing at…

Was her own…

“Bom. Yu Bom—-!”

.

.

.

She looked back on her 5 years of Amusement.

The plan was a relative success.

– Hi.

– Hello.

She first met her Nemesis.

– You said you’ll never harm me if I listen well. Can you promise that?

– I promise.

As planned, she unconditionally followed him and did everything for him.

– It was fun. What about you ahjussi?

– It was good like last time.

She slowly opened his heart.

– What if she wakes up.

– You didn’t know? Gyeoul doesn’t wake up easily after falling asleep.

And helped him protect his daily life.

– That’s a bad habit. Do you laugh while seeing others in pain or something?

– Because ahjussi never refuses it, I keep giving you more.

Since he was a very defensive person,

– Look.

– …

– You go further away, when I get closer.

She had to be audacious with her approach,

– Bom. Are you okay.

– Ah, ah, ah… Yes.

As he was slowly regaining his personality,

– I’m sorry if that surprised you. I was trying to make it feel like something big was about to happen, but it must have been over the top.

– N, no… I’m really fine.

She endlessly threw him new situations and new emotions.

– Do you find me burdensome, ahjussi?

– No.

– Or do you see me as a woman?

– No.

– But the outside shell is a female human. So are you embarrassed?

At last at the distance of touching breaths,

She succeeded in blooming a small flower in his heart.

– You are the one that wanted to be closer.

– But this is too close.

That had to be the end, Bom thought to herself.

She definitely should have stopped there.

– So, do you want to separate?

.

.

.

It was a fake plan.

Falling greatly in love for the Nemesis and endlessly craving his attention.

At last after being loved by the Nemesis, and after blindly helping him retrieve the long-lost daily life,

She made her Nemesis turn from death and wish to live.

And by keeping hostage of the lives of the hatchlings that weren’t related to her, which was the reason her Nemesis was hoping to live,

After reproaching him, loathing him, and pressing him,

And after he feels a strong sense of guilt,

Shoot Gyeoul on her head.

That should have been what happened.

She should have done all that but…

Until the end, she could not pull the trigger at Gyeoul’s head.

…Perhaps, she might have sensed already beforehand that things would turn out like this.

In fact, the plan had gone wrong from the beginning.

According to plan, she should have shown him the corpses of Yeorum and Kaeul the moment he arrived at the cruise ship, to emphasise what came next.

After talking to him and letting him know about her revenge plan and the reason, while he was despairing before her eyes, she was going to kill Gyeoul in front of him to fully etch it into his memories. Because that way, he would forever suffer from the unforgettable memory.

Lastly, being either killed or tortured by his hands was the end of her plan.

However, she could not do it.

Before he came – after neutralising the kids, she sat by herself in deep contemplation.

She had to kill them now.

She had to kill them now but…

Bom just could not make herself shoot Yeorum or Kaeul, and that hesitation was still there. Bom could not shoot Gyeoul.

A deep sigh left her mouth.

She felt a strong sense of self-hatred. It was truly, truly stupid.

All of this long plan had been formed to shake his heart.

However,

Perhaps,

The long period of time they spent together, and all the moments they shared without any deceit,

They might have ended up twisting things out of hand…

– Do you believe in fate?

– No.

– …Me neither.

Bom. Even so, you should have done better.

– That’s it for the hug of reconciliation.

– One more minute…

Even if it was warm in his embrace, you should have stayed skeptical. You should have known it was dangerous no matter how pretty he found you.

– How, do I look?

– You look pretty.

Or at least, you should have made these emotions disappear alongside the brainwash.

– Please embrace me, until I break…

– Alright. I’ll love only you.

You should have just pretended to love him…

Why did you really fall in love…

– Let us live—

– Live together with me. Bom—!!

Bom gave an empty smile. She found her current state hilarious.

– Please marry me.

Even though it was a crude marriage proposal without even a ring.

For a moment, it made her heart quiver from insane happiness…

.

.

.

Mum. I’m sorry.

I made a vow but…

.

.

.

Bom released Gyeoul from her grip.

He flinched before flying in to receive Gyeoul after which he checked her body to see if there was anything wrong with her. There should be no threats to her life, because Bom didn’t do anything to her.

After confirming the state of the child, Yu Jitae stretched his eyes wide open and looked at her.

Bom looked back at his eyes for a while before raising her head and staring off into a distance. She gazed into the faint darkness at the outskirts of the outer dimension as the brilliant source of light hanging in her right hand gleamed brighter in comparison.

Once again, she gazed down at him with an indifferent pair of eyes.

At one point, she was pretty much dead, and her life was just a continuation that had been going on until this moment. However, half of her revenge had failed – she just couldn’t kill the baby dragons that he cherished above everything else.

But living with him was also impossible.

Her dead mother and sister would be endlessly revived in her unforgetting memories, and Bom would curse him every time that happened.

Because she was still feeling the same despair she had felt at the front of her mother’s corpse,

There was only one option left for her.

Thinking of this as the last moment gave rise to a myriad of thoughts in her mind. Her unforgetting, and thus vivid memories made her forever remember his voice and his love that filled her up to the brim, but the stabbing sword, her mother groaning in pain, her dead sister and all the wounds she had personally inflicted on him on top of that were also unable to be forgotten.

When reflecting on all of that,

Her body relaxed like a marionette that lost its strings.

She resolved herself.

With a lowered head and unfocused eyes,

Bom thought to herself.

If only it wasn’t a relationship like this…

Even so, she liked it nonetheless; the delicious food, the warm shelter…

She was nonetheless happy; for receiving his attention and love…

There were many grateful memories. He called her ‘Spring’, a name that was so warm for a dirty kid like her…

Hugging Gyeoul, he asked. What are you trying to do.

“But, we just can’t, right…?”

Bom asked herself in a whisper.

“We’ve done too many bad things to each other already…”

Perhaps realising something from her words,

He screamed and yelled her name. Yu Jitae roared with a voice trembling the outer dimension, that a conclusion like this was not the happiness predicted by that guy.

However, Bom collected her heart while staring into the distance.

Because she felt like looking into his eyes would sway her determination, because it could crush the vow she made in front of her mother’s corpse,

And because, it might make her want to live…

She wasn’t confident in being as mature as him no matter how many thousands of years she was to live. Unlike him, she wasn’t sure she could live while accepting all those sins and hatred.

Even so, he was trying to stop her, was accepting her mistakes, and even asked for a marriage. Thinking about that filled her heart with an indescribable sense of guilt.

How would it feel, to marry him?

What would his child look like…? Would they be as cute as him…?

Drawing the image of a harmonious family in her mind made her want to continue that immoral line of thought. Therefore, she forcibly emptied her brain – it was time to say goodbye.

While he was sorrowfully shouting and as his thunderous voice was shaking the world, she ended up letting out tears. The magic arrowhead of the ballista, however, was still turning brighter.

“If only one of us can live…”

She opened her mouth at the man approaching her with a scream as her broken fang showed up from behind her lips.

Bom whispered.

“I want you to be happy…”

This was the outer dimension, and his curse of regression had been undone.

Now, there won’t be a next life for him either.

“But if… if we do, meet again, in our next life…”

Then, in a world without scars…

“Then, just one more time, let us…”
