‘No. I’m not going to do this.’

He had no reason and no need to stand in the submissive position in their relationship

He was the one who was giving her his coins.

Darling had come out so ferociously and forcefully that it had scatterbrained his rational thinking for a moment.

Now, however, Hyeon-Woo Lee changed his mind and decided to go against her with a firmer attitude.

“It doesn’t matter whether I do join their stream or I don’t… Unnie. Should I feel bad for doing so? I won a phone call from the lottery draws and this is how the call went, huh? The first thing I heard from you wasn’t a hello, nor was it a thank you. It was just an angry tone asking why I answered the phone so late. And you even asked prying questions as if interrogating me. You don’t intend to date me or anything, right?”

Lee Hyun-woo frowned and spoke in an increasingly low-pitched tone as his questions grew more prying.

Consequently, Darling’s switched her attitude instantly so as to appease him.

She spoke in a tone full of her wily charms after drooping the corners of her eyes that were sharp and pretty. 

“No... I was just so jealous... I’m sorry if I made you feel that way. Are you mad? Huh? Are you angry? Don’t be angry, please. I’m sorry.”

Like a mask, Darling’s face and her body spit out a certain soft and apologising tone, which felt not too far from fraud. 

Lee Hyun-woo, who hadn’t even been angry in the first place, then switched his expression as well, like an automatically opening door.

“Oh! Are you laughing now? You laughed right? Ehehehe. I think Unemployed-oppa is much more handsome when he smiles. So don’t be angry in the future, ok? Promise?”

“It depends on how my Unnie will act from now on.”

“Hey, even so, I won’t do that again! On another note, when are you going to use the meal ticket from the lottery? I have a day off on Thursday. Shall we meet up then? Yes?”

Darling changed the topic of the conversation by fluidly bringing up the meal tickets obtained by buying all the options on the lottery board.

At the mention of meeting up though, Hyeon-Woo Lee’s mind drifted back to the night he spent with the foxy woman.

“Is that so? Alright, Thursday sounds good.”

“Oh yea! Hee hee, I’ll dress up and look pretty on that day then.”

“What? Haha. You’re already really pretty on the stream. If you were to look any prettier, wouldn’t I collapse from shock on the day?”

He burst into laughter at the flirty Darling’s behaviour and conversational exchange over the smartphone video call.

‘Honestly, money is the best.’

A beauty who wouldn’t even talk to Hyeon-Woo Lee in real life fawned over him in order to appeal to his desires.

And as the conversation was coming to a close, Lee Hyun-woo spoke the words he had been anticipating all this while.

It was time to talk about the cash-back scheme.

“No, well, I don’t know to feel about it....”

Sure enough, she was a semi-major streamer with a well-established platform.

Since she already earned more than a certain level of income, she was not easily seduced by Hyeon-Woo Lee’s monetary plans.

Even though he clearly stated that it was 1 million coins per month.

However, Hyeon-Woo Lee didn’t give up on convincing Darling to sign the contract.

“You can think of it as the same thing as having me be able to 15 per cent pocket change for the coins I give you. The ratio would remain the same and the gifting process would be the same, but the coins would turn into cash.”

“But then it would not be tax deductible. One of the reasons for reverse-fan tributes is to reduce my taxes.”

‘Wow… I thought this woman was just the type who would become swayed by their emotions. But she knows how to say unexpectedly intelligent things. She is truly quite clever.’

When he was at a disadvantage, he appealed to her emotions, and when he was going to lose out on the contract, he chose to speak rationally.

However, it was always Lee Hyeon-woo who firmly held the reins of their relationship in his hands.

Hyeon-Woo Lee decided to draw a line as if he would not compromise on the cash-back contract.

“I can’t help it if you don’t want to. But I’m not going to be shooting any more coins into Unnie’s room anymore.”

“What... ? Why... Why are you doing this...? Don’t you already have a lot of money? So why are you trying to get cashback?”

‘This is the third time I’ve been asked this same question. So far, my response has always been a bit messy. But, well, having repeated my explanation several times now, I’ve finally come up with a plausible excuse.’

“Even if I have a lot of money, there is only a fixed amount of extra money I can spend per month. If I were to get cashback, I can gift that much more subsequently.”

“So you’re going to gift me that much more coins then?”

“No. I already set it to 1 million coins per month. No more gifts beyond that.”

When Lee Hyun-woo answered like that, Darling’s expression immediately fell.

It was the exact same expression he had seen on her stream earlier.

“Are you trying to gift it to someone else?” 

“That is my prerogative.”

“What?! How can you say such a thing?! Hyeon-Woo, you are my fan! You’re my big shot! So why are you planning to shoot coins in the room of some other bitch?! No! I hate this! Don’t do it! I’ll never allow it! Don’t do it! Don’t do it!”

Darling’s obsessive streak had begun once again.

“Don’t do it. Don’t do it. Don’t do it. Don’t do it. Don’t do it. Don’t do it. Don’t do it. Don’t do it. Don’t do it. Don’t do it.”

Darling repeated the same word as though inflicting a ritualistic curse.

‘It’s not just a little scary. This is really fucking scary.’

It was to the point where he honestly had a suspicion that she may have had an underlying mental illness.

‘Maybe I didn’t choose the right streamer after all? I think I made the wrong decision because I was just too fascinated by her looks and her figure. But I’ve already gone too far to turn back now.’

“Don’t do it. Don’t do it. Don’t do it. Don’t do it. Don’t do it. Don’t do it. Don’t do it.”

“Ah! Don’t keep saying the same thing over and over again!”

“I’m going to keep going until you tell me that you’re not going to be shooting coins at other bitches. Don’t do it. Don’t do it. Don’t do it. Don’t do it. Don’t do it.”

“Fuck!”

Hyeon-Woo Lee directly hung up the phone while shouting out an expletive.

After allowing her to calm down, he could have a proper conversation with her again.

Reflecting on the earlier encounter, it wasn’t that Darling couldn’t have a rational conversation, it was just that she didn’t want to allow him to have her submit with logic.

*Geeing* 

His smartphone vibrated.

Darling had called his mobile again.

Hyeon-Woo Lee, desiring to avoid the same destructive patterns in their following conversation, straight up dragged the ‘End Call’ button.

And then he switched over to KakaoTalk to try to write a message asking her to cool down first before they had a chat.

Unfortunately, his cell received another call. 

He clicked ‘End Call’.

*Jiyiing*

Before he could even type a few letters, another call was made.

Lee Hyun-woo eventually put down his smartphone and ran KakaoTalk on his PC.

Like that, he would be able to send any message he wanted interruption-free. 

His phone which had kept ringing, stopped.

-Cool your head for a while and then we can talk again. 

-Since Unnie doesn’t seem to be in the right state of mind to be able to talk right now.

-I’ll call you again later, so wait patiently.

KakaoTalk’s ‘read’ indication popped up before a reply came from Darling.

-Stop it

-Stop it

-Stop it

-Stop it

-Stop it

-Stop it

-Stop it

-Stop it

-Stop it

-Stop it

-Stop it

-Stop it

-Stop it

-Stop it

-Stop it

-Stop it

It was an incessant text message spam.

His Kakaotalk notification chime rang endlessly.

Only then did Lee Hyeon-woo understand why Darling’s big shot stalking case had become an article and was posted in the ‘Incidents and Accidents’ section of the news.

Her case wasn’t just ‘like’ psychosis. 

It was most certainly a case of pathological psychosis.

[T/N: This yandere is fucking nuts, lol! I wonder if we have another case of Yuno Gasai from the Future Diary anime on our hands. ]
