Trapped In A Novel As The Breeding Mate For Four Powerful Alphas-Chapter 46: Please, don’t go back to how you were

Yes, time was what I needed. I just needed to be left alone for a while till I was ready to take on any of them.

But I wasn't seeing myself ready even in the near future. A hidden problem would have to arise for me to even agree to spread my legs for them.

"So, what you're asking of me is to give you time till you're ready to have sex?" He asked quite bluntly and I nodded. "Does it scare you that much?" He asked, but I bit my lips, looked away, and nodded. "Haa," he sighed and I clenched my fists.

Please, don't go back to how you were. I inwardly prayed.

"Well, if it's just that, then I don't have a problem with it." He said and I opened my eyes wide. He bought it. "And I won't hit you either. Look at you, Hwang Jo-Pil, you're so skinny. Just where would I hit? Don't worry, even if you do manage to get on my nerves, I won't hit you."

That was like music to my ears.

"That's not enough," I suddenly said.

"What's not enough?"

"You have to promise me, Master." I boldly said. "Just like the other masters did."

"Oh?" He grinned. "Now, I see how you were able to get them on your side in just four days. You're tenacious," he said.

"Allow me to take that as a compliment," I said, and he laughed; his laughter sounded pure and free.

"Alright, I promise you not to hit you, force you, or bring you harm." He said. "Will that do?" He asked, and I nodded, biting my lip. "Besides, I like our interactions. You're honest, and your words sometimes crack me up, so I doubt you'll be able to say something that will make me want to hit you."

"Ah, thank goodness," I said, sighing in relief but then he grabbed my hand and wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me into his body. "Master?"

"You seem so fun to tease, Hwang Jo-Pil," he said. "And your personality changes so often depending on your mood, just like a kitten."

"Do you like cats, Master?" I asked.

"Not really. But I think I'll come to like them going forward." He said.

"Why?" I asked, but he smiled deceitfully.

"Just because."

Hmm, he was planning something again. Well, as long as I have gotten him on my side, for now, I have nothing to worry about.

He could still bring up punishment from time to time but I was sure he wouldn't go too far and try to harm me. He had given me his word, after all.

So, I needed to be a little bit careful around him but at the same words, say words that he would find amusing.

Well, that's three down, one to go. And that last one... Aigo, he's going to be a real pain in the ass.

"So, can I ask my question now?" He asked but I shook my head.

"You already asked it, master." I said, confusing him.

"Huh? When was that? I don't recall."

"You did. In fact, you asked two questions but I'll let it slide since it's the first time you're doing it." I said but he was still confused. "Ah, in case you don't remember it, let me refresh your memory."

"No need." He said. "You're so sly, you know that?"

"Whatever do you mean?" I asked, acting oblivious and blinking my eyes but he ended up laughing.

"I think I'm going to enjoy our continuous interactions," he said and I nodded.

"I think so too. But master, I was serious."

"Abot what?"

"About being a good listener." I said and we both fell into a brief silence before Min-Cheol barged into the room, flinging the door wide open and throwing a tantrum.

"What is taking you so long? The food is getting cold and..." Min-Cheol paused, seeing my hand in Jin-Yeok's and his arm around my waist, so he looked away. "Ugh, what's going on? Are you planning to get to it and leave?" He asked.

Hmm, this was rather odd. Why did he look away? It was as if he was giving us some privacy. I did not expect that from him at all.

So, he knew how to think rather than throw a tantrum every time, huh?
