"Oh my," he exclaimed and laughed. "Don't do that. I only meant it as a joke but to think you took it seriously,"
I stared at Jin-Yeok, confused. He meant what as a joke?
What was he saying? That was definitely not a joke. His gaze, his tone, and the way he wouldn't back down until he heard my response. He clearly meant every word.
But what was this that he meant it as a joke?
His expression had become pure again and the dangerous vibe he was giving had released quite a bit.
"I... I don't understand, master," I said. "Weren't you going to punish me?"
"You're so funny." Jin-Yeok claimed. "I only did that to scare you since you were so scared of me when I hadn't done anything. You already branded me a scary guy, do you know how much that hurts?" He held his chest and I got confused even more. "But to think you would comply so obediently when I was only just joking with you." He laughed and I gulped.
