Chapter 87

Seo-un's eyes, directed at the ceiling, were filled with confusion. When she pushed Cha-haya's chest, he remained as immovable as a rock. Even when she reached out and tore at his collar, it made no difference. She punched him repeatedly, but Cha-haya continued to rub and suck her lower lip with his hot tongue. Seo-un, forgetting to breathe through her nose, gasped, and her lips parted with a soft pop, swollen and strange.

Just as Seo-un was about to punch him again, her arm was caught. Their lips, which had just parted, were once again drawn into Cha-haya's black hole, disappearing into his mouth. The kiss with Cha-haya, which she had never imagined, was only rough. Seo-un clenched her teeth and bit Cha-haya's lower lip fiercely.

The bite was quite severe, and Cha-haya's lip twitched, but he did not back down. Seo-un continued to bite until she tasted the bitter taste of blood, and then she had no choice but to raise the white flag. "You're a madman, stop it!" she said, having been deprived of breath several times before she could finish her sentence.

Only after seeing the blood spread on Seo-un's lips did Cha-haya blink. "Are you really crazy?! Why are you doing this!" Seo-un hissed in a low voice, worried that someone might hear. "It hurts," she said, her brows furrowing involuntarily at the sore, swollen lips.

Blood also welled up from Cha-haya's lower lip. The reason he did not even think of wiping it away was because his eyes were still glaring. Seo-un tried to back away, but the hard window blocked her.

Seo-un, like a wild animal in a narrow alley, only watched his movements. This is not just glaring; it's complete madness. "Get out of the way," she said, her voice a mess. She didn't know why she was scared, but she pressed herself against the window.

"Say something. Kid, why are you doing this!" "Cha Seo-un, am I supposed to be sorry again?" As Cha-haya approached with a deranged look, Seo-un quickly jumped over the seat. Cha-haya's hand reached out, but only grazed her fingertips. Just as Cha-haya was getting up, Han Don-hee grabbed him from behind. "Hey! Cha Seo-un, run!"

Not only Eom Ji-geun but also the Tachun guild members coming out of the galley were frozen in place at the sight of the kiss. But was it even a kiss? Cha-haya was suffocating and sucking Seo-un's lips unilaterally.

Han Don-hee realized that when a person witnesses something too shocking, the brain stops. Only after seeing Seo-un run away could Han Don-hee move. This caused the ramen to scatter on the floor, creating chaos.

Cha-haya, with Han Don-hee still clinging to his back, stood up. "You ignorant bastard! Kang San! Yoo Chan! What are you doing?! Come and stop this guy quickly!"

Like Han Don-hee, the two were also in a daze and stumbled toward Cha-haya. "I just want to talk to Seo-un, why are you making a fuss?" "Madman, talking? I saw everything!" Han Don-hee punched Cha-haya's side to knock him down, and Kang San and Yoo Chan each grabbed one of his arms. When one of them was thrown and hit a seat, Cha-haya took a step forward, and when they came back to hold him, he stayed in place. The three of them finally managed to pin Cha-haya to the floor.

Cha-haya, pinned down by the three, only looked up at Seo-un. Seo-un, fearing that he might break free and charge at her, retreated toward the stairs. The further she moved away, the more aggressive Cha-haya's momentum became. To make matters worse, white cosmos flowers were overflowing from his shoulder.

"Damn! This guy is really out of his mind! Cha Seo-un, quickly run somewhere else!"

There was nowhere to run inside the plane. She couldn't go down to the first floor either, as it would create an even worse chaos if the deranged Cha-haya followed.

Seo-un looked around. In the urgent situation, she had no time to ponder why he had sucked her lips. She was just overwhelmed by the disaster that occurred when the top-tier species went mad.

Suddenly, the three who had been pinning Cha-haya to the floor were thrown back by his strength. Seo-un, to avoid the charging Cha-haya, ran down the aisle. Just before she was caught, she changed direction, stepped on empty seats, and jumped. She began to run in circles around the cabin.

"Cha Seo-un, why are you running? I just want to talk."

Cha-haya, who had suddenly stopped, spoke calmly. "Just talk from there." Seo-un, maintaining her distance, stopped and planted her feet. When Cha-haya moved again, Seo-un prepared to run.

"Are you really putting up such a sad distance again?" "You really look like a madman right now!" "Then should I act like a normal person?"

It was obvious that he was not normal, and saying it out loud did not make it believable.

Why do I have to run?

Despite the sense of injustice in her mind, she had a premonition that she should not be caught.

<'Elephant Shrew Cha Seo-un' is finally using her escape skills!> The messenger, who had not appeared for a long time, made such a comment. Han Don-hee, not missing the opportunity, leaped over the seats like a flying squirrel and tackled Cha-haya to the floor again.

"Hey! All of you, get on! Pin this guy down so he can't move!"

Wow, as Kang San and Yoo Chan climbed on, Han Don-hee made two choking sounds.

In this situation, entering the cockpit seemed safer. However, the cockpit door would not open. Seo-un decided it was better to hide. She focused on the sounds of the scuffle and crouched low in a duck walk. When she was almost at the galley, the surroundings strangely became quiet, and only the engine noise could be heard. Could Cha-haya have done something he shouldn't?

Worried, Seo-un slowly stood up, grabbed the seat, and peeked in the direction where Cha-haya was.

Cha-haya, who was lying on the floor, pinned down by the three, was surprisingly calm. He looked as if he were sleeping, and someone was crouching next to him, placing a hand on the back of his head.

"Ah... I thought he might need some help."

As Seo-un fully stood up, Nam Gung Jun scratched his neck.

"Still, he's probably having a good dream."

The hypnotist Nam Gung Jun had fired a tranquilizer at the rampaging tiger.

***

The ramen scattered in the chaos was cleaned up by Kang San.

Yoo Chan and Han Don-hee laid Cha-haya on an empty seat and fastened his seatbelt. Nam Gung Jun said he would be fine for the next three hours, but the Tachun guild members did not relax.

Seo-un, with her swollen lips, sat in an empty seat and looked down at the clouds. "Hey... Deputy Guild Master, are you okay?"

Eom Ji-geun said with an embarrassed smile.

Did he implant something in Cha-haya's brain? Seo-un raised a suspicious eye. However, Eom Ji-geun, being a water element user, did not have the ability to hypnotize or control minds. Seo-un, without saying a word, only stared out the window. Eom Ji-geun, feeling ignored, quietly clicked his tongue and returned to his seat.

On the second floor, besides Tachun, Eom Ji-geun, and Nam Gung Jun, there were two more people, but fortunately, they did not witness the 'Cha Seo-un suction incident' by Cha-haya. They only saw the chase and thought there was an internal conflict in the guild. However, since Eom Ji-geun and Nam Gung Jun had witnessed it, Seo-un was worried about what might leak out.

More importantly, why did Cha-haya suck her lips?

Seo-un tried to calmly organize her thoughts. Eom Ji-geun had come and played a prank, and after that, Cha-haya's eyes had gone wild. He had rambled about wanting to be introduced to a top-tier species, but that was just...

Seo-un shook her head. That couldn't be it.

Once, when people suggested setting him up on a date, she had been secretly furious. However, Cha-haya had never dated anyone he had confessed to, nor had he ever been set up on a date. If he had been, he would not have been able to hide his grumpiness.

It was out of jealousy.

Could Cha-haya have been jealous that she might be set up on a date? Worried that she might spend less time with him if she had a partner? Even so, sucking her lips was not something she could understand.

Suddenly, the memory of Cha-haya kissing her while she was sleeping and his recent actions intertwined in her mind.

Was it not a mistake made under the influence of alcohol that day?

Upon reflection, all the strange events involving Cha-haya had Eom Ji-geun involved. The day he kissed her, Cha-haya had also had a big argument with Eom Ji-geun.

Could Eom Ji-geun have gained a new ability? If he had gained a hypnotic ability, Cha-haya's strange behavior would make sense.

'Command, Cha-haya. Kiss Cha Seo-un.'

This was a stretch. No matter how she thought about it, Eom Ji-geun would not have hypnotized him like that.

Then...

The hypothesis that Seo-un had repeatedly denied, which she had crammed into a corner of her mind as impossible, slowly unfolded.

Does Cha-haya... like me?
