Chapter 549: Rejecting Her Heart
"What do I do now?"
She asked Sun-woo, her expression filled with bewilderment.
She had realized her feelings of love.
However, she was someone who had never harbored such feelings for anyone other than her parents until now.
That was why she was flustered.
Loving someone was an utterly foreign emotion to her.
"That... isn't usually something people ask, is it?"
Sun-woo replied, wearing a perplexed expression of his own.
"I don't know... this... feeling... is a first for me... I don't know what to do."
She continued, her face clouded with confusion.
She was lost.
This unfamiliar emotion was overwhelming.
She was at a loss as to how to handle it.
"First, please calm down, Lady."
Sun-woo spoke in a composed voice.
"I... I can't calm down..."
Hearing Sun-woo's words, Lee So-ran shook her head and continued.
"Now that I've realized I like you... my heart... it won't stop... pounding... My lips are parched... my breathing is heavy... and my lower body is throbbing... It's strange... my whole body... feels strange..."
Squish.
She raised her hand and clutched her voluptuous left breast as she spoke.
'...Oh, wow.'
Perhaps because the sight felt strangely erotic, Sun-woo let out an exclamation in his mind.
This was because Lee So-ran, whom he had previously viewed as somewhat childlike, was beginning to exude a remarkably sultry allure.
"What is this feeling... this fluttering in my heart... what is it? It's strange... so strange."
She continued, staring at Sun-woo with a heated gaze.
Her eyes were brimming with lust.
'She’s completely gone off the deep end.'
Meeting that gaze filled with desire, Sun-woo could tell.
He knew that Lee So-ran was currently not in her right mind.
"Young Master... my whole body... is burning... Why is this happening... How did it come to this?"
"Isn't it just because it's hot?"
"Then I should take them off, right? I have to take them off, don't I?"
She quickly brought her hands to the front of her robe.
It seemed she intended to strip right then and there.
Grab.
However, her actions were immediately restrained by Sun-woo.
"What on earth do you think you're doing?!"
Sun-woo, grabbing her wrists, raised his voice in alarm.
"Because it's hot... I'm going to take them off..."
"Am I not standing right in front of you?"
"Young Master Jang is the person I... love... So it shouldn't matter, right?"
"It does matter! We aren't even in a relationship!"
"Then we can just start dating, can't we?"
She asked back, wearing an expression as if she were questioning something incredibly obvious.
"I already have a woman I love!"
"I don't mind being a concubine."
She continued, looking at Sun-woo with a gaze full of longing.
She was sincere.
She didn't care if she was just a concubine.
She was someone who had never met anyone who truly understood her until now.
To her, Sun-woo's existence was more than enough to warrant blind devotion.
She wanted to be by his side.
She wanted to stay with him.
She wanted to be his woman.
Even if it meant being a concubine.
"I refuse!"
"But... just a moment ago... you said you had affection for meee..."
"That affection is different from the love between a man and a woman!"
"Then why don't we take this opportunity to develop it into that kind of love?"
She continued, staring at Sun-woo with eyes full of ecstasy.
"That's impossible."
"But why..."
She looked at Sun-woo with eyes full of disappointment.
"We are in a relationship where we must not love each other."
"Why? Why are we in a relationship where we must not love each other?!"
She flared up and shouted.
She simply couldn't understand.
How could he conclude from the start that they were in a relationship where love was forbidden?
"I cannot tell you the details."
Sun-woo continued, looking at her with sorrowful eyes.
"No... Young Master... we haven't even tried yet, have we? We can... we can definitely overcome it..."
She continued, as if pleading.
She didn't want to give up on the first love she had ever felt.
She didn't want to give up on the first person who had ever understood her.
And so, she pleaded and pleaded again.
Begging him not to abandon her.
"I am sorry, Lady."
Sun-woo bowed his head politely and apologized to her.
His expression was filled with deep grief.
"No... don't apologize... I don't want your apology... Please... don't say that..."
Hearing Sun-woo's words, Lee So-ran spoke to him with a wounded expression.
"............"
But despite her pleas, Sun-woo said nothing more.
He simply kept his head bowed in silence.
"Sob... ugh... Young Master... please... sob... don't do this... sob..."
She eventually broke down in tears.
Her voice was thick with sorrow.
"I am sorry... I cannot accept your heart."
Sun-woo apologized to her once more.
Then, he slowly stood up and began to walk toward the exit of the reception room.
"Young Master! Young Master! Wait a moment!"
Lee So-ran quickly scrambled to her feet and hurried after him.
She wanted to know the reason.
At the very least, she wanted to know why it couldn't be.
He had said it.
He clearly said he had affection for her.
Not only that, but he had been quite proactive when they were intimate.
He didn't dislike her.
That was why she was so confused.
As to why Sun-woo was rejecting her.
"Young Master!"
It was as she was following Sun-woo.
Slip.
Suddenly, it felt as if the friction on the floor vanished, and her body began to plummet toward the ground.
Thud.
She ended up falling flat on the floor.
In a truly unsightly manner.
"Ugh... ah..."
Having fallen, Lee So-ran let out a groan of pain.
The impact of the fall had sent a significant shock through her entire body.
Spring.
However, she immediately endured the pain and forced herself up.
The thought that she had to catch up to Sun-woo quickly took precedence.
"Ah..."
But she was soon forced into despair.
In the brief moment she had fallen, Sun-woo had vanished without a trace.
She knew.
She had completely lost him.
Glisten.
Tears began to well up in her eyes.
The misery of being rejected by Sun-woo, combined with the physical pain racking her body, created an overwhelming sense of sorrow.
"Sob... hic... ugh... sob... ugh..."
In the end, Lee So-ran burst into tears.
It was because she could no longer bear the sorrow filling her heart.
Soon, the reception room was filled with the sound of her weeping.
*
Daze.
Lying on her bed, Lee So-ran stared blankly into the air.
Though there was nothing but empty space, she stared fixedly at one spot as if something were there.
Knock, knock, knock.
Just then, someone began to knock on her door.
"...Ran-ah. It's Mother. May I come in?"
Hwangbo Yu-yeon's soft voice drifted in from outside the door.
"............"
Even though she heard Hwangbo Yu-yeon's voice, Lee So-ran gave no answer and continued to stare blankly into the air.
Creeeeeak.
When there was no response, Hwangbo Yu-yeon slowly pushed the door open.
She stepped into the room and looked at her beloved daughter, who was lying on the bed with a vacant expression.
"Ran-ah."
She spoke as she looked at Lee So-ran.
"What happened? What on earth happened to make you... so deeply wounded?"
She began to press her daughter, her expression full of concern.
"............"
But despite her questions, Lee So-ran remained silent.
She didn't offer a single word.
"...Ran-ah..."
Hwangbo Yu-yeon looked at Lee So-ran with sorrowful eyes.
Seeing her daughter looking like a hollow shell of herself caused a heart-wrenching pain to surge within her.
"........Jang Sun-woo."
As she watched her daughter with sad eyes, Hwangbo Yu-yeon finally uttered a name.
Flinch.
At that, Lee So-ran, who had been staring blankly, flinched and trembled.
"As I thought, it is related to him."
Hwangbo Yu-yeon realized that he played no small part in her daughter's grief.
"What did he do to you? Did he hit you or curse at you? Or did he insult and shame you?"
Hwangbo Yu-yeon began to ask her daughter, her voice rising with anger.
She demanded to know what he had done.
"No, he didn't!"
At that, Lee So-ran, who had been silent, raised her voice and shouted.
"Young Master Jang isn't that kind of person!"
She began to defend Sun-woo.
"If that's not it, then why are you submerged in such sorrow?! Why is your heart aching like this?!"
Hwangbo Yu-yeon naturally shouted back.
She couldn't understand.
She said he hadn't used foul language or violence.
He hadn't insulted or shamed her either.
Then why was she so depressed and sad?
It made no sense at all.
"................"
At her question, Lee So-ran fell silent once more.
She didn't want to cause any trouble for Sun-woo because of her.
'It seems impossible to hear the truth from this child.'
As Lee So-ran fell silent again, Hwangbo Yu-yeon thought to herself.
She realized that getting the truth out of Lee So-ran's mouth was a lost cause.
'I have no choice.'
She thought.
Though she didn't want to, she would have to go find Sun-woo himself.
Two days had passed since Lee So-ran had stopped eating and drinking.
As a result, her cheeks had hollowed out, her eyes were sunken, and her energy had visibly drained away.
Her health was failing.
That was why she had to find out the truth.
For the sake of her daughter, who was wasting away.
"If you don't want to speak, don't force yourself."
Having made up her mind, Hwangbo Yu-yeon spoke in a calm tone.
"I'll just have to hear it from someone else."
Then, she turned around and began to walk toward the door.
"Wa... wait! Mother!"
As she moved, Lee So-ran hurriedly called out to her.
An inexplicable sense of anxiety surged within her at her mother's words.
Step, step.
But Hwangbo Yu-yeon ignored her daughter's call and continued walking.
Without a hint of hesitation.
Lee So-ran watched her mother's retreating back with eyes full of unease.

Slurp, slurp.
Joo So-yang moved her head up and down rapidly, fiercely sucking on Sun-woo's dick.
"Hnggh..."
Sun-woo, having his dick sucked by her, began to groan.
His prostate was being stimulated by Joo So-yang's incredibly skillful mouth-work.
Schlurp, schlurp.
She sucked harder and harder.
As if she intended to tear Sun-woo's dick right off.
"Khhh..."
After some time had passed, Sun-woo began to feel the urge to ejaculate.
He couldn't hold back against her mouth pussy, which rivaled even an exquisite vessel.
Grab.
Sun-woo grabbed her head with both hands.
Thrust.
Then, he shoved his dick all the way down to her throat.
Splurt!
Then, he let it all out.
The thousands, millions of pure white seeds he held in his balls.
Gulp, gulp.
As Sun-woo vomited out his cum, Joo So-yang wore a dazed expression.
Then, she began to suck fiercely.
Determined not to let a single drop escape.
Gulp, gulp.
Slurp, slurp.
"Phew~"
Only after she had perfectly sucked out every last bit of residue inside his dick did Joo So-yang finally pull her mouth away.
Her face was filled with a sense of refreshment.
"Is it just me, or is your mouth pussy getting tighter in more ways than one?"
Sun-woo asked her, looking curious.
"I've been practicing every day!"
She answered energetically with a bright smile.
"Practicing?"
"Yes... I tie knots in string with my tongue, and I even suck my own breasts while thinking of your dick, Sun-woo."
"Do you like it that much?"
Sun-woo asked, looking at the refreshed Joo So-yang.
"I love it... so, so much... I want to do it again and again, no matter how many times we've done it..."
She spoke, staring at Sun-woo with eyes full of desire.
"Not again."
Sun-woo firmly rejected her proposal.
"Wh... why..."
Joo So-yang asked back with a disappointed expression.
She seemed hurt by Sun-woo's firm refusal.
"Because they've arrived."
Sun-woo continued in a calm tone.
"Arrived?"
"Yes, a guest has arrived."
"A guest?"
"Yes, a very important VIP."
Sun-woo continued with a warm smile.
"Now, you should head out."
"Can't I just wait quietly until your business is over?"
She spoke, staring at Sun-woo with teary eyes.
"No."
Sun-woo shook his head.
"But why..."
"Because this business is scheduled to finish tomorrow."
Sun-woo continued with a devious smile.
"Tomorrow?!"
And hearing his words, curiosity began to flicker in Joo So-yang's eyes.
