Chapter 105. Love Is Always Sweet and Deadly (2)
“Good. It’s not that far.”
Yukgap muttered after checking the address.
For an ordinary person, it would have been a considerable drive.
For him, though, it was close enough to treat as a light jog.
He loosened up his body, then gripped the chocolate box Victoria had given him.
“I’ll drop this off and come straight back.”
With that, he kicked off the ground and shot forward.
The scenery around him rapidly blurred together until everything seemed to melt into one.
It was the same view he saw whenever he used his acceleration ability.
Whenever he entered this world of speed, he strangely felt as though he had been left alone in an empty world.
After running for a while, an old woman suddenly stepped out from around a corner.
She was only a few meters away.
Yukgap’s eyes widened, and he immediately tried to stop.
“Uwaaah!”
But he had already pushed his acceleration too far.
His body refused to halt in time.
He staggered several times before crashing straight into the old woman.
“Oh my!”
She screamed and tumbled to the ground.
Yukgap panicked and hurriedly helped her up.
“Ma’am, are you all right?”
Thankfully, he had managed to slow himself down enough to avoid the worst possible outcome.
Still, she was elderly.
Even getting hit by an ordinary adult man could have caused a serious injury.
“Ugh...”
The old woman groaned faintly in Yukgap’s arms.
Did I hurt her badly?
Just as he started worrying, the woman suddenly opened her eyes.
She stared straight at Yukgap.
Then her expression changed in shock.
“...Honey?”
“What?”
Yukgap froze at the unexpected word.
Tears immediately began streaming down the woman’s face as she threw her arms around his waist.
“Honey! Where have you been all this time?”
“Do you know how much I missed you?”
Apparently, she had mistaken him for her husband.
Yukgap had no idea what to do with the old woman suddenly clinging to him.
“Does she have dementia or something?”
The woman ignored his confusion and pleaded desperately.
“Honey, don’t go anywhere again!”
“Come live with me!”
“Ma’am? I’m not your husband.”
Yukgap hurriedly tried to explain.
“Please look carefully.”
The old woman stared at his face.
Then, without warning, she started feeling his thigh.
She tilted her head.
“That can’t be.”
“These rock-hard thighs... and these firm calves...”
“They feel exactly like my husband’s.”
“Aaaaagh! Why are you suddenly touching me?!”
Yukgap jumped in alarm at the hand sliding over him.
The woman showed no intention of stopping.
“It is you!”
“I’d know the feel of these thighs anywhere!”
“Please calm down!”
Despite Yukgap’s desperate plea, the woman became even more persistent.
“Thighs! Thighs!”
“Haaah... rock-hard man thighs!”
“Ma’am, you don’t actually have dementia, do you?”
While Yukgap struggled helplessly in her grasp, several elderly women of similar age appeared from around the corner.
“What’s all the fuss?”
“Did something happen?”
“I heard somebody shouting about thighs.”
Apparently, there was a senior center nearby.
The women stared at Yukgap.
Then their faces flushed as they began whispering among themselves.
“Oh my, I don’t know where that young man lives, but he’s awfully handsome.”
“Isn’t he? Look at that neat little face. Like a freshly peeled chestnut.”
“Looking at him reminds me of my husband who went to Bukmangsan before me.”
The old women giggled while throwing Yukgap disturbingly intense looks.
Only then did Yukgap realize something.
His hand was empty.
“N-No way...”
He frantically looked around.
Soon, he spotted the chocolate box lying on the ground.
The lid had popped halfway open.
Apparently, the collision had caused it.
Do not open the box under any circumstances until right before delivery.
Victoria’s warning flashed through his mind.
“Young man, why don’t you come over and have some fruit?”
“We were getting lonely with only women around here.”
“And then such a handsome young man just rolls right in.”
“Why don’t you call me noona just once?”
The elderly women slowly began surrounding Yukgap.
Every one of them looked like a predator eyeing prey.
Just watching them made a chill run down his spine.
“I’m sorry! I’m in a hurry!”
Yukgap hurriedly peeled the old woman off himself.
Then he snatched up the fallen chocolate box.
He had no idea how much pheromone had leaked out.
But considering this was one of Victoria’s inventions, the aftermath was bound to be ridiculous.
“Where do you think you’re going?!”
“Catch him! Don’t let him get away!”
“The thighs are escaping!”
Sure enough, the elderly women rushed him like starving beasts.
Yukgap was amazed they even had that much strength.
“Damn it. I’m taking a shortcut!”
He escaped from the pursuing women and ducked quickly between the buildings.
According to the map, there was a faster route to his destination through this area.
“Oh my, young man! Out shopping?”
A shrill female voice suddenly called out the moment he entered the street.
Yukgap flinched and turned.
A middle-aged woman in an apron was waving at him from a vegetable shop across the road.
