The Uncrowned King of the Peninsula

Chapter 260 I'll be your boyfriend, you'll be my pet

The food was already served on the table, but Lim Nayeon was lying on the edge of the table, crying loudly, and didn't seem to want to eat.

"Alright, stop crying. Aren't you going to keep pressing?" Bae Young-joon asked.

"What are you pressing? I'm about to be arrested, and you still want me to press you!" Lim Nayeon looked up at Bae Young-joon, tears streaming down her face, her little nose red. "I'll press you when I'm released, I'll press you until you die!"

If Bae Young-joon doesn't agree to be her boyfriend, she won't be able to handle things at the company.

If you can't handle things with the company, you'll be unable to explain yourself clearly and will be seen as a spy who betrayed company secrets.

Then they will be suspended from activities, expelled from the team, even blacklisted, forced to pay breach of contract fees, sued in court, and possibly even arrested.

Recalling her manager's menacing threats, Lim Nayeon imagined herself in handcuffs, standing in the dock, and couldn't help but want to cry.

Bae Young-joon, what a heartless man!

I've tried to persuade myself so many times, but you still won't agree to this.

If you're not going to help, then don't. But calling yourself a sycophant is just bullying people.

Lim Na-yeon felt utterly wronged.

"Stop massaging, just wipe it off." Bae Young-joon looked at her sobbing and handed her a tissue.

"Mind your own business!" Lim Nayeon grabbed a tissue, hastily wiped away her tears, crumpled it up, and threw it at Bae Young-joon. "You bad man! I'd rather die!"

"What are you talking about dying for? You're perfectly fine, stop crying." Bae Young-joon smiled and reached out to put his arm around her shoulder, but Lim Na-yeon slapped it away.

"Why do you care whether I live or die? I've begged you so much and you still won't agree. Don't you like me at all?" Lim Nayeon looked at him, her eyes full of grievance. "You're still laughing. Laugh at me all you want, or I'm going to cry!"

After saying that, she cried even harder, tears streaming down her face.

"You don't like me, and I don't like you either! Go away..."

“Who said that? I like you.” Bae Young-joon interrupted her.

"Huh?" Lim Nayeon was stunned. Her nose was still twitching, and her big, teary eyes were fixed on Bae Young-joon in front of her. She thought she had misheard. "What did you say?"

“I said, I like you, Lim Nayeon.” Bae Young-joon looked at her pretty features and repeated it earnestly.

"Huh?" Lim Nayeon's gaze flickered, as if trying to find the mocking expression on his face.

But no.

"Really?" Her voice still had a heavy nasal tone, muffled yet somewhat endearing. "You really like me? I thought you just wanted to be with me..."

"You're so cute, of course I like you a lot, little bunny." Bae Young-joon looked up and stroked her soft, long hair.

This time, Lim Nayeon did not resist, but just looked at him and murmured, "Then, then why don't you, say yes to me?"

"Do you like me?" Bae Young-joon asked.

“I…” Lin Nayan was stunned.

"If you're going to confess your feelings to someone, you should at least say 'I like you,' right?" Bae Young-joon said.

"I...I..." Under Bae Young-joon's gaze, Lim Na-yeon felt a surge of panic, not even knowing how to answer.

"It's alright, you're pretty nice too, I don't dislike you at all," she said softly at the end.

"Then I'll consider whether to say yes or no when you truly fall in love with me." Bae Yong-joon's hand slid down to her fair cheek and wiped away her tears.

"Okay, I'm sorry..." Lim Nayeon cried again, her hot tears dripping onto Bae Young-joon's hand.

"You really want me to be your boyfriend?" Bae Young-joon looked into her teary eyes.

"Okay." She nodded obediently.

"You want my help?"

"Ah."

"Did you cause trouble?" "Yes." Lim Nayeon nodded, sobbing. "No need, I can handle it myself, I..."

"I promise you." Bae Young-joon interrupted Lim Na-yeon's rambling words.

"What?" Bae Young-joon's words stunned her again.

"Didn't you want me to be your boyfriend? I'll say yes."

"You...I...really?" Lim Nayeon couldn't believe it. She had begged him all night and he hadn't agreed. After she finally gave up, Bae Young-joon suddenly agreed.

"Really." Bae Young-joon nodded firmly.

"Why?" Lim Nayeon asked blankly.

"Seeing you cry so pitifully makes me feel a little sorry for you." Bae Young-joon looked at the little rabbit crying incessantly in his palm and smiled.

Wasn't that a bit too much of a joke?

It would be heartbreaking to see such a cute little bunny get damaged.

"Really?" Lim Nayeon looked at Bae Young-joon in front of her, feeling a surge of gratitude for being favored.

"Hehe," she pouted, her tears turning into a smile, her long eyelashes still glistening with tears, "Really?"

“Really, but…” Bae Young-joon paused under her expectant gaze, “but only for 24 hours.”

"24 hours?" Lim Nayeon didn't understand for a moment.

“I can be your boyfriend within 24 hours.” Bae Young-joon held up one finger. “One day.”

"And what about 24 hours later?" Lim Nayeon couldn't help but ask.

“You have to make it up to me after 24 hours. You can’t let me be your boyfriend for nothing, right?” Bae Young-joon offered a fair suggestion.

"What compensation?"

"As compensation," Bae Young-joon leaned close to Lim Na-yeon's face, looking at her cute and pretty face, his dark eyes deep and intense, as if he wanted to hold this adorable little rabbit firmly in his grasp, "How about being my pet 24 hours a day?"

Their eyes met, and Lim Nayeon subconsciously repeated, "Pet?"

"Little bunny, I'll treat you very well." Bae Young-joon ruffled her hair, looking at Lim Na-yeon's tear-streaked face, her long eyelashes fluttering, making her look like an innocent and helpless little bunny. "24 hours for 24 hours, it's fair."

Such a cute little rabbit should be caught and taken into its own cage and cared for properly, right?

Otherwise, it wouldn't be good if some other big bad wolf got captured.

Therefore, he planned to take her home and protect her.

Buzz~buzz~
Just as their eyes met, Lim Nayeon's phone rang on the table.

Lin Nayeon, who had run away from the dormitory without permission, glanced at the contacts flashing on her phone screen and felt a chill run down her spine.

It was a call from the agent.

They're definitely here to cause her trouble, what should I do...?

Bae Young-joon followed his gaze to the phone on the table, reached out and lifted Lim Na-yeon's fair chin. Looking at her bewildered eyes, he smiled slightly and said softly, "My lovely girlfriend, what trouble have you gotten into? Now, let your boyfriend help you."

"how?"

"Ok?"

Amidst the agonizing buzzing of her phone, Lim Nayeon looked at Bae Young-joon in front of her and nodded as if possessed.

"Alright, my little girlfriend, now, let the game begin."

Bae Young-joon looked with satisfaction at the little rabbit that was about to fall into his palm.
