Novel Bin Chapter 108
"...What are you going to do with that Vampire?" (Kim Yu-Rin)
Inside the British luxury SUV, Kim Yu-Rin’s favourite ride. (TL: a Range Rover, perhaps?)
Kim Yu-Rin signaled towards the quietly-prone Rahaimde on the back seat using her eyes and asked.
"Hmm. Well, I could hand him over to the SID... something like that." (Sae-Jin)
Sae-Jin had half a mind to make sure the vile bastard would never wake up again, since it seemed the unconscious Vampire was far too strong for the Dark Energy Link to properly work.
But then, he didn’t want to give up on earning yet another bit of achievement by bringing this guy in, as cheap as that sounded. Also, it was still illegal to summarily execute a Vampire without going through a proper trial.
"Hmph."
Kim Yu-Rin snorted once.
No more conversation happened after that. He did try his best to initiate one, but her facial expression was way too stiff for that. It was as if she was locked into some serious thought process or some such.
Since Sae-Jin had something to feel guilty about anyways, he decided to follow the old mantra of ’Doing nothing leads one down the middle path’.
"Wait!! What are you doing?" (Sae-Jin)
"...Huh?"
"We’re going the wrong way!!" (Sae-Jin)
Unfortunately, though - Kim Yu-Rin wasn’t paying attention to her driving and as a result, she missed the off ramp and ended up going straight ahead. She hurriedly looked around for a chance the turn the vehicle around, but well, they were on a piece of road where making a U-turn was impossible.
"W, why didn’t you tell me sooner?!" (Kim Yu-Rin)
After giving up, she sent a gaze full of resentment towards Sae-Jin in the passenger side.
"Why are you getting angry at me?" (Sae-Jin)
"I’ve never driven on this road before. And it hasn’t been long since I got my licence, so I’m not that good a driver yet. But here I am, tasked to bringing Mister Sae-Jin back home..." (Kim Yu-Rin)
Only after going the wrong way did Kim Yu-Rin concentrate on her driving.
And time relentlessly marched on. 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 40 minutes... Crossing a distance which 10 minutes would have sufficed, cost them one full hour, and worse still, they were...
"Wait, isn’t that the city of Pyongyang?" (Sae-Jin)
From Gangwon Province to Pyongyang in one hour!! ....As expected of an extraordinary invention, the Mana Car. (TL: Oh, so it’s not a Range Rover, then... Also, oops, looks like there is no South Korea in this novel, just a United Republic of Korea. Don’t feel like going back to old chapters and changing them, so, oh well...)
"....." (Kim Yu-Rin)
"To drive all the way till Pyongyang from Gangwon without the aid of a map... Truly impressive, Miss Yu-Rin. Great driving." (Sae-Jin)
All Kim Yu-Rin could do at Sae-Jin’s sarcastic remark was to pout unceasingly and silently steer the car.
"I wonder, how long will we need to go to Gangwon from here." (Sae-Jin)
"...If you don’t stop now, I will leave you behind here." (Kim Yu-Rin)
As far as she was concerned, that sounded like an effective warning, but for Sae-Jin, it was actually not a bad suggestion to consider.
"I can take over driving for you, if you’d like. But besides that, why haven’t you turned on the satnav?" (Sae-Jin)
Sae-Jin reached towards the centre console to switch on the GPS navigation. However, she slapped his hand away while narrowing her brows.
"I have my pride, Mister Sae-Jin. Please do not interfere." (Kim Yu-Rin)
"..."
Pride? What pride?!
Sae-Jin dumbfoundedly stared at her.
A pair of stiff-as-rock hands grabbing the steering wheel tightly; her neck cranked out like that of an elderly turtle while her face contorted unnaturally as she surveyed the surroundings... No way in hell something like pride had a room in that.
’I just hope that we get there within two hours...’ (Sae-Jin)
"Keu, keuuuuu..."
It was then, the ’drunkard’ lying on the backseat showed signs of waking up. Sae-Jin quickly formed another mace and slammed it hard on the forehead of the waking Vampire.
Kkhoong!!
