chapter 44
7. improvement?
For now, I thought it would be better to go on a date as is.
It was obvious that he would be anxious if he suddenly said that he could not do it or for some other reason.
You can only make excuses once or twice, and if you keep trying to evade, you’ll be suspicious.
Kyung-hee was smarter than I thought and had clear ears. And it was often misunderstood.
Even though I heard that I simply held hands with the doctor in charge, I knew just by looking at the misunderstanding.
Even though the doctor in charge kept emphasizing that he had a lover, he still did.
I was afraid that he would stab himself in the arm like last time and pretend to be crazy.
It could have been more intense this time.
You could have tried to imprison me with the logic that you betrayed me first.
Or he could have not listened to my persuasion at all.
Of course, I knew how to win in this situation.
Right now, holding Kyung-hee and getting into the bed in my room.
But it was like a last resort.
After that, it was obvious that Kyung-hee would continue to beg me for physical relations.
It’s like asking for a kiss since we became lovers.
Even if I tune well, it won’t last long.
When I thought of Kyung-hee, who misunderstood that you didn’t love me and pointed out a distorted reason, my eyes seemed to darken.
Wouldn’t it be better if I could end it with someone else?
“……………..”
“Siwoo? Why?”
“no.”
“You’ve been engrossed since earlier.”
“No. I was just thinking about the test.”
“Score? Hey, you worked really hard this time. You’ll hit well.”
“That would be nice.”
Kyunghee hugged me and rubbed her body.
Then, he said that he had many places to go to today, and started to list places.
First of all, I buy clothes and go shopping.
Kyung-hee laughed, saying that he would work hard today because there are many places to go together.
To be honest, I couldn’t imagine living without Kyunghee now.
Like Kyung-hee’s unique way of eating rice, or her pricked or drooping ears.
When you hug him, he smiles warmly and acts aegyo.
It was already deeply infiltrated into my daily life, so I couldn’t help it.
This was the biggest problem.
A special relationship that cannot be abandoned.
In the meantime, even though Kyung-hee had done many things that made her feel bad, I couldn’t help it because I felt sorry for her when she was crying melancholy.
So even now, I wanted to persuade her rather than question her and force her to find out.
“Did you screw up the exam? You’ve been thinking about other things since before.”
“No, good job.”
“Ah, don’t worry. The professor must have done something wrong.”
“yes?”
“Yeah. So don’t worry.”
Kyunghee laughed.
Yeah, it was better to mislead me into thinking about the test this way.
So, I said with a smile that some of the test questions were difficult.
Fortunately, Kyunghee only comforted her, but said nothing else.
I finished preparing to go out, vowing to be careful about thinking like this from now on.
“When did you buy those clothes again?”
“Last time. I only bought jeans.”
“You must have worked hard.”
“That’s right, the staff was overly friendly. It was rather inconvenient.”
“Oops.”
“I just want you to find me without talking to me.”
Kyunghee grumbled.
When he said he had come to buy jeans that fit him, the staff said he wanted to buy a pair of jeans.
Saying that he was tired of talking to people like that, he hugged my arm and complained.
Still, the staff must have had an eye for it, and the jeans went well with Kyunghee.
“It’s more annoying because it suits you better.”
“why?”
“If it didn’t suit you, you could criticize behind your back for not matching you, but you look so good together.”
“yes?”
“yes.”
“So you only bought jeans?”
“I said I’d choose the rest of the clothes with my boyfriend. That’s what I said and came out.”
Kyunghee smiled sinisterly.
Then he asked me for an answer, saying that he was not right.
It was so cute that I couldn’t help but smile.
Kyeong-hee, perhaps half convinced when she saw me smiling, kept demanding an answer.
In the end, after admitting that her boyfriend was right, she was released from Kyung-hee.
……….. Originally, I could have just enjoyed the date without much thought.
I felt bad for opening the box for no reason.
No, it was better to check earlier.
It is better to know and deal with it than to be unaware of it.
“Siuyaaa.”
“yes.”
“From what I’ve heard, there’s a shopping mall near here?”
“Oh, there?”
“Yes. There’s a movie theater attached to it, and there are clothing stores. They say there’s a department store inside too.”
“So, let’s go there?”
“Hi-Hi.”
Kyunghee took out two pieces of paper from the pocket of her hoodie.
Upon checking, it was a movie ticket set for 12:00 AM.
It happened to be around 10:00 AM right now, so I thought it would be time to look around after arriving.
Rather, looking at the name of the film, I could understand Kyung-hee’s intention.
“A late night taxi? A horror movie?”
“yes.”
“What is the plot roughly?”
“The main character driving a late-night taxi rides with four people, and he tells a scary story in it.”
“aha.”
It was clear that he would be hugged by me at a surprising timing, whether it was scary or not.
Or did you watch the movie in your arms from the beginning?
It was a movie selection with obvious intentions, but I had no choice but to suffer.
I can only hope that nothing else happens in it.
After that, I went to the shopping mall with Kyunghee, and after passing the time, I headed to the movie theater.
Kyung-hee laughed, saying that it was her first time at a movie theater.
Then I wanted to ask how I bought the ticket, but I couldn’t ask because it was ominous.
So, pretending not to know anything, I walked around the cinema with Kyunghee for a while.
After arguing about paying each other for popcorn, they bought one popcorn with Kyunghee’s money.
Kyung-hee looked around and then headed to theater number 4.
The ticket said “Screen 5”, so I took Kyung-hee to the 5th theater.
“The old men said it was an interesting movie. So you can look forward to it.”
“You mean you came once?”
“Buying a ticket…”
“You can buy it online.”
“…………What?”
Kyunghee put on a puzzled expression.
Then he asked again, “Isn’t it always necessary to buy a ticket at a movie theater?”
I let out a short sigh of relief and began to properly explain to Kyung-hee.
Fortunately, it didn’t seem like Kyunghee was cheating on me this time either.
Kyunghee listened to the story with a nod and then spoke.
“You mean next time you can book online?”
“yes.”
“Ugh.”
“It’s okay. You can.”
“Okay.”
Kyunghee grumbled.
Saying that he always wanted to show me only his cool side, he quietly sat down and leaned on me.
Fortunately, he seemed to be well aware of movie theater etiquette.
And the seats were suitable, so I felt like I could watch the movie without worrying about it.
I don’t know why I didn’t take the medicine and saved it.
The medicine didn’t work well, so I saved it because I didn’t need it? No, that’s unlikely.
To say that he didn’t know how to throw away the medicine didn’t explain what Kyung-hee said.
Kyung-hee had taken a lot of medicine before because he was weak, so he must have known about the handling of medicine.
When you throw away medicine, you have to throw it away at a nearby pharmacy or take it to the hospital.
Of course, you’ve probably heard from your doctor how to deal with medications that don’t suit you.
Wouldn’t it be better if I had shown a foolish and idiot-like appearance so far?
You didn’t know how to dispose of your medicine? Kyung-hee, who tried to tangle my heart more closely than anyone else?
This was definitely unlikely.
However, it was a little strange to even suspect it, and now Kyung-hee seemed to be completely improving.
It was because anyone could see that he was making progress while taking medicine and receiving counseling.
That’s why the doctor in charge didn’t say anything, and I was relieved.
“……………………………”
“I’m scared?”
“No, I’m not scared. Watch horror movies well.”
“If you’re scared, you can lean on me.”
Kyunghee smiled softly.
So I said it was really okay and fixed my gaze forward.
Soon the movie was starting.
Four men are standing on a dark road carrying luggage, and a taxi stops.
As if they had waited, the men loaded the trunk and put money into the taxi driver saying thank you for your hard work.
Kyung-hee seemed to be focused even though the movie had just started.
Originally, I would have had to fill my mouth with popcorn, but I could tell how focused I was just looking at the front blankly.
I also wanted to watch the movie, but the situation was strange to concentrate without thinking.
I was confused about how far Kyunghee had lied to me and how far she hadn’t.
What if I’m suspicious of Kyunghee?
What if Kyung-hee was collecting the medicine bags for another reason?
When I thought about it, I got confused.
“…………………………..”
Then, when I felt a touch on my arm, I looked and saw that Kyung-hee was trembling.
Watching the movie, it seemed that the first story had just finished.
The taxi driver laughed and pointed out that it was unrealistic, and the man in the passenger seat who talked to me chuckled.
Kyunghee mechanically lifted the popcorn and put it in her mouth.
And chewed almost silently.
All the while, he didn’t stop clinging to me.
It’s so cute, and I felt stupid for thinking about suspecting him, so I decided to pretend I didn’t know until there was more evidence.
At least some more clear evidence was needed. A conversation with the doctor in charge, or Kyung-hee’s runaway.
It seemed like a hasty suspicion now, unless it was a perfect situation that even Kyung-hee couldn’t refute.
So I decided to focus on the movie, and I grabbed some popcorn and ate it.
While watching the movie that day, Kyunghee couldn’t let go of my arm like a frightened rabbit.
