CHAPTER 29 - WHO TF DOES HE THINK HE IS?

2026. PRESENT. SEOUL.

HELL MORGATHOR PRISON.

☠️ JANE ☠️

Why the fuck do I need to listen to that Japanese giant?

Is he my father? Of course, he isn’t. Neither is he my king, so I owe him no obedience.

How dare he ask me to never sleep outside the cell after stealing my bed and my blanket? Where should I sleep then? The roof?

Preposterous. He’s such an arrogant thief.

I hope he finds his match, someone to frustrate him as much as he’s frustrating me.

Did I ask for too much? Just for my cellmate to never be changed! I was very pleased with my old cellmate. She never bothered me; she was literally invincible. She uses the upper bunk bed and silently moves around the cell like it’s a borrowed space. That was cute.

Now this… ridiculous king. If anyone should be sharing a cell with the king of prison, rightfully, it should be the queen of prison.

Not me! I swear the correctional officer who put us together has a grudge against me.

I force a storage door open, making sure to pick a place further away from my cell. Dark, cozy, secure, and extremely dusty.

God, I hate this place, but it will serve. I just need to do some cleaning tomorrow. As long as correctional officers don’t find me, I can stay here for as long as I want.

Even better, I tear a carton open and realize this storage room is where blankets, buckets, pillows, and prison wear are kept.

Jackpot!

Emphasis on blankets and pillows.

I knew it… the heavens are on my side. Even they think it’s unfair to be sharing a cell with a total psychopathic killer. How can I sleep peacefully knowing I am locked with a prisoner who committed several heinous crimes, not to mention burying people alive while they are still conscious… what if he suffocates me with my pillow while I’m asleep because I’m breathing too loudly?

“I chose the right place,” I say to myself, chuckling in satisfaction.

I dig out a blanket and a pillow. I spread a blanket on my side and the pillow on top, then I cover myself with the other blanket.

As soon as my back hits the warm blanket, I inhale sharply, “This is about to be the best sleep I’ve had in fucking ages.”

Suddenly, the door creaks open. I snap my gaze towards it in an instant, jumping from where I should be sleeping.

I find myself staring at the face of someone I would rather be hallucinating about.

This better be a fucking dream, a nerve reaction to me missing my cell room.

How the hell did he find me?

“What do you want?” I ask, talking as softly as I can so correctional officers don’t find us, “I have given you the cell… You can have it. All you have to do is leave me alone.”

God, I was finally happy.

“Do you seriously think you could hide from me?” King Kaito asks, moving away from the door and walking towards me.

“I wasn’t hiding from you. I was finding a place to sleep after you shamelessly stole my bed!” I snap back.

Actually… I am hiding from him.

“I told you to never sleep outside of the cell,” he growls, and I swallow hard.

“Who Tf told you that you have the right to tell me what to do?”

“I wasn’t asking you… I was instructing you. I wasn’t giving you a choice.”

“Instructing?” I repeat. Now, that’s even more annoying.

I take a step back and stand in a fighting position, obviously… I have to fight for my freedom.

“You don’t want to do that,” King Kaito says, and for the first time since I’ve been in this prison, I see him scoff. He’s having fun, and he isn’t hiding it.

“Do what? Fight you?” I retort. “You bet?”

He folds his arms in front of his chest as he watches me. Without rethinking, I stretch out my hand in a calling way, asking him to attack, and he simply chuckles without leaving where he’s standing.

He fucking chuckled.

Does he think this is a joke? There’s absolutely nothing funny about what’s going on right now.

Since he isn’t going to come at me, I charge at him.

He catches me with his elbow. Before I know it, my back is pressed hard against his chest, with his elbow wrapped around my neck, getting choked. Which is officially the last thing I know before I black out.
