In the meantime, Byung-Ho had woken up from his stupor. He was now standing right next to Jung-Hee, his tall body looming over her like a terrible shadow.
As he was staring down at her, Byung-Ho's eyes flashed with something akin to satisfaction. It was the look of someone seeing his enemies being humiliated; mocking and cold.
When she heard his voice, Jung-Hee's movements froze. After seeing him so close, she barely dared to breathe loudly. Byung-Ho's threatening posture also made her subconsciously tremble.
However, despite the fright his sudden presence caused her, Jung-Hee still tried to fight against her odds. In truth, apart from fear, she also felt very angry and frustrated with her own weakness. But she had no way of venting her feelings, so instead of using words, she turned her head to glare at Byung-Ho.
The movement caused Jung-Hee's muscles to become strained, and she let out a soft sound of pain.
