chapter 43
7. improvement?
To be honest, while studying for the test, I was worried that Kyung-hee would run out of control.
Because, while he was in and out of college for exams, he didn’t pay attention to Kyung-hee at all.
However, Kyung-hee showed a normal appearance without a single anxious appearance.
Although he often asked for expressions of affection, it could be moved to the level of aegyo.
The doctor in charge also said that he had found the right drug, so I thought I could be relieved.
And as soon as the weekend came, Kyung-hee hugged me and talked more.
“Siuyaaa.”
“yes.”
“Date, date.”
“Yes, I understand.”
I must have waited for quite some time, it was cute that he did that from morning.
Still, when I asked if I should eat breakfast and wash up before going out, it was cute how she gave a short exclamation and was surprised.
Kyung-hee was improving to the point where I wondered if it would be okay to put the coupling back on.
The habit of still being suspicious of me and eavesdropping hasn’t changed, but it was okay in that I asked later.
The doctor in charge told me not to worry, saying that it was because I did not have a firm belief yet.
However, being aggressive towards others hasn’t been fixed, so I asked him to be careful about that.
To be honest, I was sympathetic to some extent.
It was because Kyung-hee was overly anxious when talking to female classmates or female seniors.
There were times when I bit my nails, and there were times when my ears moved desperately.
When the phone call was over, I asked too much about the content, and I sagged while holding my legs or arms.
Then I apologized for overdoing it.
“Wash first, Kyung-hee. I have something to organize my major books.”
“Huh? Huh. Yes!”
Kyunghee went into the bathroom.
Today was not the end of a date, I needed to think about buying clothes.
It was very fortunate that I did not have to worry about money because the government provided subsidies.
After staying still for a while, I came out to the living room because Kyunghee seemed to be taking a shower.
Because I was thinking of giving you a present.
Snacks and candies that I asked Kyung-hee as I passed by.
I thought I would secretly put those snacks away and pretend I didn’t know.
Don’t forget vitamins. Because I remembered the last time I bought it to eat.
But there wasn’t a good place to hide it in the living room.
First of all, I rummaged through the chest of drawers Kyung-hee bought, but it was a little narrow here too.
In the end, I had no choice but to open the box I saw the other day.
It’s a place to put discarded ballpoint pens, but there was no place like this.
Kyung-hee uses a ballpoint pen quite often anyway, so it seemed like he would find it tomorrow or so.
So I opened the box, but the box was empty, as if I had recently discarded the ballpoint pen.
“Something is strange.”
It seemed like there wasn’t enough room for the box to fit in.
I looked at the floor and it was flat.
I would have understood if it had been recessed, but since it was flat, it seemed like there was a secret space.
Then the anxiety I felt the other day came back to me.
Apparently, the uneasiness disappeared when I opened this box.
It seemed that Kyunghee had hidden something in it, so I slowly rubbed the bottom of the box.
And when the box was overturned, the medicine bags fell inside.
“…………………………………………”
All of them were medicines Kyunghee took.
These are the medicines that I kept taking to treat depression, but I couldn’t figure out why they were here.
No, it was more important to stay unnoticed than that.
I decided to think about it later, and put the things inside into the box.
I don’t know why there are condoms between the medicine bags, but I put them in too.
Then, I put it in the box with the bottom of the ballpoint pen ink on top.
As if he didn’t know anything, he closed the box and placed the kettles on it.
My heart was pounding.
The condom wasn’t surprising. Rather, I thought it could.
Because I could guess that Kyunghee wanted to have a relationship with me.
If it had been full of condoms, I would have laughed and moved on.
Ah, if the case is caught later, the body will be weak. In that way.
However, it was uneasy that there were so many medicine bags.
I slowly tried to take out my phone.
For now, I was thinking of pretending not to know, seeing the reaction, and then calling the doctor in charge when I went outside.
The doctor in charge seemed to know what this situation meant.
So I went to my room and listened to music as if nothing had happened.
Soon after, Kyung-hee walked out while washing her hair.
Then, as always, let’s dry our hair together and smiled.
“Can’t you cut your hair?”
“Yes. When your body changes, it grows naturally.”
“aha.”
“But I’m used to it now, so I can stay in one form for a long time.”
“Then, can we see Kyunghee with short hair later?”
“It’s like that. It should be a little cramped, but it won’t be a problem.”
“That, the body that changes is probably the arms and legs. And even the head, right?”
“Yes why?”
“no.”
Kyeong-hee stayed still and smiled maliciously.
Then he said that there would be no problem with the child in the belly.
It’s something I’ve already asked during the inspection, so I don’t have to worry about it.
……..I don’t know why he asked that, but he let it go.
Because there was nothing good about knowing the truth.
In the past, I would have just laughed and moved on, but after looking at the medicine bag, I was afraid that there might be a reason behind it.
Still, it wasn’t awkward because I was used to acting now.
“What do you want for breakfast?”
“What do you want to eat? I’ll eat whatever you want.”
“Then, let’s make it simple American.”
“yes.”
Kyunghee smiled meaningfully.
Then he looked towards the living room and said.
“Did you see my box?”
“Yeah. I was going to put a gift inside, but the box was dirty.”
“It’s where you put your used ballpoint pens. Of course it’s dirty.”
“So I put it on top.”
“Is that why you asked me what kind of snacks I like the other day?”
“yes.”
“Okay, since I’ve been given a gift… now I’ll have to give it!”
Kyunghee put both hands on her waist.
Then, after touching his hair to see if it was dry, he smiled and said he would prepare breakfast.
And he kept emphasizing that there would be a gift for me as I went into the bathroom to shower.
I didn’t know what kind of present he had prepared to make such a fuss.
“………………………”
However, it was clear that it would exceed expectations, in a good or bad way.
I thought about getting water in the sink first.
If it were Kyunghee, you would be able to hear the sound inside while cooking.
I didn’t even look in the living room, but I could tell from the fact that I had touched the box.
It was obvious that I would not neglect any of my trivial actions and would remember them.
I don’t know how much you can hide by turning on the water like this.
For now, I thought it would be better to pretend I didn’t know.
It would be better to contact the doctor in charge later.
If he acted hastily, there was a high possibility of receiving a counterattack from Kyunghee.
I couldn’t calm down at all. It would be nice if it was trivial, but in my experience, it didn’t seem trivial.
However, he openly pressured Kyunghee.
Because if Kyung-hee runs out of control, I lose.
“ha………”
Even though I didn’t mean it, I just sighed.
I felt like I was already getting tired because I had to fight again with Kyunghee, who had changed her strategy.
Still, there was nothing I could do right now, so I finished taking a shower.
Then, casually, he put on his clothes inside and sat down in front of Kyung-hee while brushing his hair.
Kyung-hee had finished cooking before she knew it and even left the cutlery behind.
I smelled it and it didn’t look like there was blood in it.
It was just plain fried eggs and bacon.
“What kind of jam did you use for the bread? Was there red jam…?”
“I heard it’s raspberry jam? I bought it.”
“yes?”
“yes.”
“Then what about this sausage? I remember I ran out of ketchup the other day.”
“I bought that too.”
“Have you been shopping a lot while I’m gone?”
“Yeah. I’ll take care of the house.”
Kyunghee smiled strangely.
She was sneaking in as if she were my wife.
Come to think of it, that’s how Kyunghee looked recently.
Because I acted more like a wife than a lover.
It’s like having a new grocery store, or bringing necessary items into a new house.
Honestly, I wanted to draw a line even now, but I didn’t want to act hastily.
So I laughed at a moderate joke and poked the sausage with a fork.
Fortunately, the ketchup was just ketchup, and the raspberry jam was really sweet and delicious.
I wondered if it was a mixture of blood, but neither of them had the distinct taste of blood.
I didn’t want to doubt any of these things, but I couldn’t help it.
Because Kyunghee had a criminal record.
“Rather than that, did you go to the hospital?”
“Yes why?”
“You said you caught a cold the other day when you went out. Your clothes are cold.”
“Ah, I got better after taking antipyretics.”
“yes?”
“Yeah. It was just a little fever and runny nose.”
“But raspberry jam is delicious. What did you put in it?”
“I don’t know?”
“Then you must have baked the bread well.”
“Yes? hehehe.”
I poked at him pretending not to know just in case he didn’t know, but Kyunghee didn’t react.
My ears were still up, and occasionally pricked up as if I was enjoying my eating.
I didn’t think I could find this abnormal reaction, so I finished my meal for now.
The meal was very tasty. But I felt like I needed cider.
It’s about breaking through and putting an end to this situation.
