I’m a Fake Saintess But the Gods Are Obsessed With Me

 

***

 

In the taxi going home ahead of discharge.

 

I opened the file containing the profile of Cass… or rather, Kang Minjae, on my phone screen.

 

A profile of my betrothed partner sent by Father’s secretary.

 

Nonsense. Getting engaged at this age…!

 

Moreover, what is his attitude that we will somehow proceed with the engagement as soon as I recover my health?

 

Ping—

 

—What should I buy today?

 

And a message suddenly appears on the black screen.

 

It’s Diego.

 

I chewed that too.

 

I should just rest and not think about anything. My head was pounding.

 

I just turned off my phone.

 

After a while, the taxi arrived in front of the officetel, then I paid the fare with my card and got off.

 

‘It’s been a while since I visited my home…’

 

It was a lease contract, and even if I excluded one year, there was still time left, so someone wouldn’t have taken my luggage away.

 

I carried my luggage and took the elevator up to my house.

 

My own home after becoming independent from a hellish house.

 

I’ll be able to organize my thoughts better when I get back there.

 

After a while, I stood in front of the house and entered the password.

 

Beep—beep—beep—beep—beep—beep—

 

I pressed the six digits and waited… But the door didn’t open.

 

What is it? I’m sure the password is correct, though.

 

As I thought about it, I dialed the number again, and then I heard a ding-like melody and the door opened.

 

And when I saw the person standing inside the door, I felt a chill go down my spine.

 

Red hair and red eyes.

 

He had superiorly wide shoulders, strong chest muscles, and a bare body without a shirt, wearing only pants.

 

”Ky… Kykyky… Kyle!”

 

He frowned as if he was bothered and dragged me by the arm into the house.

 

The door—

BAM

. Closed.

 

***

 

“You mean this house went up for auction?!”

 

I asked with wide eyes.

 

Kyle said that the landlord couldn’t pay his debt, so the house was put up for auction, and his friend won it.

 

“Yeah.”

 

I grabbed the back of my neck.

 

“I… I can’t believe I’m being scammed by rent…”

 

I heard that it would be quite difficult to get the deposit back as not only one or two houses were taken over like that.

 

Kyle frowned and asked me as I sat down in shock.

 

“So you’re saying you didn’t come to visit me, but to this house?”

 

“… My money…”

 

“Ha…”

 

Kyle let out a sigh and looked at the curtained living room window.

 

After a while, I raised my head and looked around the house.

 

Nothing has changed since I lived.

 

An officetel with a living room, one bedroom, and one bathroom, making it suitable for a single-person household.

 

How did I become independent and now my house…

 

“But…”

 

I looked up at him and asked.

 

“··Are you being chased by someone? Why did you close the curtains in broad daylight and drag me into the house?”

 

Now that I think about it, he seems suspicious.

 

That wary look, even the rugged, hard muscles.

 

Plus, wait a minute!

 

“…That… That one!”

 

I was startled when I found something on the living room table.

 

“It’s a gun!”

 

I have no knowledge about guns, but I know that something that looks like that is a gun.

 

As I was startled, Kyle leaned over and covered my mouth with his right hand.

 

In a dark house, red eyes shine brightly.

 

“Be quiet. If you make noise, you’ll get hurt.”

 

I looked at him, completely frozen. His deep red eyes twinkled for a moment as he looked at me in quiet silence.

 

“…”

 

And after a few seconds, he removed his hand from covering my mouth.

 

I hesitated and got up from my seat.

 

And said to him.

 

“Anyway, I’m going to go now. Now that I know what happened, I think I should get legal help for the deposit. I’ll also look into a lawyer.”

 

An alert was going up in my head that it was dangerous to be with him.

 

Yet he didn’t move out of the way from the door I was leaving.

 

“I’m sorry, but you can’t.”

 

“I… can’t?”

 

“You said you didn’t know me, yet you knew my name. You’re obviously suspicious, I can’t let you go.”

 

“Is your name really Kyle?”

 

He frowned at my words.

 

“I can’t tell if you’re acting or serious.”

 

“It’s just… I thought of someone who looked like you.”

 

“Anyway, I can’t just send you back now that you’ve seen me.”

 

My heart pounded at the sound of his soft voice.

 

“What do you mean you can’t just send me back.”

 

You’re not going to use that gun or anything, are you?

 

His lips soon moved languidly.

 

“You will need to stay here until I can fully confirm your identity.”

 

“I… I showed you my resident registration card earlier, you know!”

 

“That’s not enough. My subordinates will investigate more closely.”

 

Su… Subordinates, he says. Is he a gangster? Mafia?

 

I froze, yet he just smiled.

 

“Then please check it quickly and send me back.”

 

“The problem is that due to circumstances, it takes time to contact my subordinates, so I’m on the run. So, it would be good to think of us spending a few days together.”

 

I shouted in bewilderment.

 

“I have to stay here with you?”

 

Here is one living room, one room, one bathroom…

 

By the way, why do you keep taking your top off!

 

Kyle reached out to me in surprise and said, tucking my sticking out hair behind my ear.

 

“Seeing that your face is red, it seems like you have a wild imagination.”

 

I slapped his chest.

 

“It can’t be!”

 

But his body was so strong that I couldn’t push it back.

 

“Who… Who has a wild imagination… Anyway, I’m going to get out of here. I’d rather go back to the hospital.”

 

It seemed like he still had no intention of letting me go.

 

***

 

“I’ll take a shower.”

 

“Don’t report things like that!”

 

The sun had already set, and he went into the bathroom to take a shower.

 

I quickly tried to open the front door, but.

 

“What… What is this.!”

 

Shit. Even though it’s an inside door, there is something like a password pad attached.

 

The door just rattled and couldn’t be opened at all.

 

To make matters worse, Kyle confiscated my cell phone.

 

‘What the hell, is he a secret agent?’

 

Kyle appeared to be very security conscious.

 

‘Anyway, I have to do something before he washes up and comes out…’

 

At that moment, there was something that caught my eye.

 

A 007 bag similar to the one I saw in movies when I was young.

 

And it was open at an angle.

 

‘Maybe there’s the password there!’

 

I quickly walked over to him and opened the bag.

 

And there were a lot of English articles cut from newspapers.

 

[All-out war against the Italian mafia begins.]

 

[Carne family, whereabouts of $100 billion in bonds.]

 

[Sicily’s Mafia successor war, will Kyle Bruchka, the second-in-command of the Carne family, succeed the organization?]

 

When I read the articles, I was astonished.

 

Ky… Kyle Bruchka?

 

At the back of the article, there was a picture of Kyle wearing sunglasses and his description.

 

[Kyle Bruchka quickly gained the trust of the Carne family and the favor of his boss, rising to second-in-command within the organization. It’s known that his mother was a Korean woman, and he controlled funds amounting to 1 trillion in Korean Won…]

 

“You have a hobby of searching through other people’s bags.”

 

As I was reading the article with my hand on my pounding heart, I heard Kyle’s voice from behind me.

 

I was so startled that I pressed myself against the wall.

 

“Or do you have an impure interest in me?”

 

He was wearing a shower gown and was wiping his damp hair with a towel.

 

I was frozen and kept my mouth shut with a very wary expression on my face.

 

Italian mafia, it says, Kyle is the heir to the mafia?

 

He’s not on the side of justice, but is the second-in-command of the world’s most cruel and terrifying criminal organization!

 

“Why.”

 

Kyle’s red lips were sweet.

 

“Are you scared now that you know who I am?”

 

“I was just trying to find out the password. I was trying to escape… so don’t get me wrong.”

 

He chuckled at my honest answer.

 

Then he opened the refrigerator and took out some wine and two glasses.

 

I sat across from him with a wary look in my eyes.

 

“Seeing you this clumsy, I’m sure you weren’t sent by another organization.”

 

His wild hand uncorked the wine and slowly poured the wine.

 

“I have no intention of killing civilians, so don’t be too nervous.”

 

“Do you know that those words themselves are threatening?”

 

The corners of his lips rose again at my words.

 

“I’m sorry, because I’m always so close to death, its word has become a habit to say.”

 

I saw the wine in the wine glass sparkling like red blood.

 

“Isn’t it okay to not do dangerous things that lead to death?”

 

He lightly clinked his glass against mine and twisted the corner of his lips.

 

“It sounds like you’re worried about me imprisoning you.”

 

“What…”

 

I avoided eye contact.

 

Because I can’t deny it. Kyle… So, Kyle…

 

“Althoug it was just a joke, it’s fun.”

 

Suddenly a bitter smile appeared on his face.

 

It was a strange feeling to see Kyle, who always looked neat and tidy, and then see Kyle in the wild, full of danger.

 

Scratches and scars can be seen here and there on the upper body.

 

How rough he had been, his body was showing his past life.

 

“However.”

 

Suddenly, as I was looking at him, Kyle brought his face closer to me.

 

“Where are you looking at so intently?”

 

It was only through his words that I realized that I had been concentrating too much on his open gown.

 

I quickly looked away, yet it was already too late.

 

“As expected, you want something else.”

 

A low voice with a dangerous atmosphere flowed into my ears.

 

“Now that I think about it, I didn’t search your body properly.”
