chapter 5
0. meeting
I didn’t look at the price when I paid, but when I saw it came as a text message, there was a bit of a blow.
Even if I couldn’t do it, I was able to get away with more than 150,000 won to 200,000 won, so it was understandable.
Of course, I didn’t think it was a waste, but being empty was another thing.
Thinking that I might have to live frugally for the time being, I put my phone in my pocket.
Then I went to the mart and was looking at alcohol again, and I often saw items with discounts.
Like four cans of 10,000 won, or a discount if you buy two bottles.
If I was going to buy it, I thought it would be okay to buy mainly discount items.
I use my father’s card, but there was nothing wrong with saving it.
“Buy this… this… um.”
Since it’s been a while since I bought alcohol, I thought it would be nice to make something like a cocktail.
There were also people who would drink it, so it seemed that there would be no problem buying it.
Anyway, I thriftly swept all kinds of alcohol and then calculated.
After completing the calculation, he put the bottle in the envelope and held it in both hands.
It was a bit heavy, but not so much that I couldn’t lift it at all.
All he had to do was go to his room and find out what Kyung-hee was thinking while drinking.
It’s like flirting with a girl, but it doesn’t matter.
Rather than treating Kyung-hee as something in the form of a human, I wanted to treat her as a woman.
I may think differently, though.
First of all, I wanted to treat Kyunghee as a woman my age.
The problem is Kyunghee’s reaction…..
To be honest, I had no idea how to react.
I couldn’t even catch a hint as to whether I would like or dislike treating them as they have changed.
I would appreciate it if you could express your likes and dislikes.
“What, you’ve already arrived.”
After slowly entering the officetel, I pressed the button on the elevator.
After pressing the button, I stood in front of my room with my luggage and rang the bell.
It looked like it would be inside by now, but sure enough.
I think you thought you should go out and say hello when I come in.
With the sound of something knocking over and kicking, the door opened cautiously.
“Are you okay? I heard a crash.”
“Yes…..”
It didn’t look good at all to anyone.
Because it was obvious that I had bruises on my legs.
Thinking that I must have hit it quite hard, I went inside.
Kyung-hee closed the door, then went to a corner and sat down.
It seemed that he had put only the perishable food in the refrigerator and then sat quietly in a corner until I came.
So, it seemed that even in the living room, a corner was designated as his seat.
I feel like I can’t go anywhere else.
I felt like I had no choice but to be stuck in a corner because I didn’t get permission.
“Do you want to stand up?”
“Yes….”
After putting the envelope filled with alcohol on the desk, he stood up and handed the bag containing the clothes to Kyung-hee.
After receiving the bag, Kyunghee stood still for a few seconds before slowly opening her mouth to ask.
“what’s this?”
“It’s clothes. Is there anywhere else to change into?”
“Oh, no. It’s okay.”
Kyeong-hee looked at me, feeling very intimidated.
I don’t know what that meant, but it was pitiful.
So I said that it was okay to change slowly, but as soon as I did, Kyung-hee freaked out and took off her clothes.
It’s like a soldier who has to change quickly.
Then, when I saw him tripping and stumbling, I thought I knew something about it.
He caught Kyung-hee in the middle and supported her as she pretended not to know.
If I hadn’t caught him, it would have been obvious that he would tell me he was fine after he fell.
“oh.”
“it’s okay.”
“Mi.. I’m sorry! I’m stupid, so… I’m sorry…”
“No, keep wearing it. I’ll go to another room.”
Hearing those words, Kyung Hee’s face turned pale.
So, it looked like the face of a condemned prisoner who had been sentenced to death.
Then he said it was okay and started to recover in an instant.
As if not to make the same mistake as before, the speed was drastically reduced, but the expression was pale.
Pull down your clothes and glance.
Wear clothes and glance.
It would have been better if I had gone to another room earlier.
Whether or not he knew that he was paying attention, he was worried about keeping his eyes on him while wearing clothes.
Kyung-hee, who had changed without removing the label from her clothes, hesitantly picked up her bra.
At this point, I thought it would be better to just keep quiet.
If I went into the room, I would surely misinterpret it and panic.
As I pretended not to know, I saw her somehow wearing a bra.
To be precise, it looked like he was desperately trying to kick it.
I decided not to touch it after seeing only the seemingly normal kick.
Finally, Kyunghee, wearing a hoodie, looked at me with a shy smile.
“It suits you well.”
“That… is it?”
“Can I cut the label?”
“It’s okay, it doesn’t bother me that much…”
It didn’t seem like it at all.
Right now, even now, the labels inside the clothes were itchy and I could see them scratching them.
However, it was obvious that if I asked him, he would only answer that he was fine, so he sighed deeply and grabbed the scissors.
Ignoring Kyung-hee, who was trembling as her gaze was fixed on the blade of the scissors, she cut the strings of the label and put them together in one place.
I wouldn’t be refunding it anyway, so I thought I’d just collect it in the trash and throw it away.
However, after seeing the labels cut like this, Kyung-hee was trembling with fear, as if she had another thought.
How should I say, I must say that I am sure that I will do something.
I could tell from the fact that he was very nervous and hesitantly sat down.
“I bought you a drink, would you like a drink?”
It seemed like it was time to raise the odds.
And the odds seemed right.
“Su… Suul…?”
“Yeah. I bought various kinds of liquor, from liquor to soju.”
“alcohol…..”
Kyunghee’s rabbit ears went up.
Until earlier, he had been like a rob rabbit, but now he was just like a regular rabbit.
And as if she had noticed that her ears had gone up, Kyung-hee desperately grabbed the tips and pulled them down.
However, there was no way it would go down properly just because it went down like that.
In the end, unable to do this or that, Kyunghee pressed her ears for a while and lowered her head.
What can I say about Kyung-hee, who was so excited at the word ‘alcohol’ that she kept pressing her ears.
It was cute.
“Mi… I’m sorry…!”
“No, I’m fine.”
“……………..”
It was to the point where my hand went to my head without even realizing it.
I was stroking it while I put my hand on my head, and I was stroking it, and the touch was also unique.
Should I say that it feels good because it feels like stroking the head of a fluffy small animal?
Kyeong-hee seemed to feel calm, and closed her eyes tightly and sat upright.
Until just now, I was breathing heavily because I was anxious, but now my breathing seems to be stable.
Contrary to what it looks like, it seems to have a personality that feels calm when being stroked.
Apart from that, it was very cute.
It’s because I’m stroking it with my eyes closed like that.
So in the end, he couldn’t stand it and hugged Kyunghee and stroked her hair.
Every time I stroked it, it was a little very cute that her hair was shaking back and forth.
And besides, the trembling of the ears and the feeling of it were good.
“cute.”
“…………!”
“cute.”
Now that I look at it, my hair is also tangled up.
Anyway, I had been caressing him like that for a few minutes without hesitation, but Kyung-hee’s condition was strange.
“…Hey, Kyunghee?”
“……………..”
“You can relax, keep going.”
So, what should I say?
It seemed that he was assuming that he was right.
It’s like sitting in an upright position with your eyes closed, and it’s like taking a steady breath.
It seemed to be preparing to get hit less painfully.
Kyeong-hee, who couldn’t stand it, let out a rough breath and let out an uneasy look.
Then he said in a shrunken voice.
“That… that… If you’re going to hit or use it… can’t you do it quickly…?”
“What?”
“Mi..! I’m sorry! I was wrong. My, I was presumptuous. I’m sorry. I was wrong.”
“No, um.”
“Hey, I’ll be quiet. Do as you please… as you please…”
It seemed a little too severe.
If it’s severe enough, it’s worse than the victims of school violence I saw in my school days.
As a test, I slowly lifted the other arm while applying strength to the arm I was holding.
So, like hitting.
Usually, when you do this, everyone is surprised.
There are times when I’m not surprised, but that’s roughly two things.
If you already know it’s a joke and don’t be surprised.
Close friends would often laugh it off, knowing I was joking around in this way.
However, one other case was different.
Accepting that you will already be hit, and holding on to be hit less painfully.
Kyung-hee in front of me was in such a situation.
Hold your breath, tense your body, and close your eyes.
It makes it less painful no matter when you hit it.
I wondered how many times he had been beaten so much that he had acquired this habit.
“It’s serious.”
The words came out spontaneously.
A child who was bullied and beaten throughout his school days would not be at this level.
At least he didn’t take it for granted that he was right.
Rather, when I taught him to exercise, he fought against Iljin and knocked him down.
After that, I continued my school life normally.
However, Kyunghee has no will to resist.
“I… I’ll relax, so just hit me…”
In the end, Kyung-hee started to cry as if she had guessed wrong.
At the same time, I could feel it swaying as I rocked it, as if I was completely relaxed.
It was completely different from before, when I was desperately nervous.
If you hit, you’re relaxing so that it hurts as much as possible.
“Because I’m not hitting you.”
“Gee, don’t lie… I’m sure he’ll catch you off guard and hit you or use you…”
“Why am I hitting you?”
“But, it’s a burden and it annoys me. You look like an idiot and don’t know how to do anything..”
“I only told you to go home first?”
In order to correct the twisted misunderstanding, I freed Kyung-hee and sat down.
Kyeong-hee knelt down and sat respectfully, then hesitated.
I raised my hand quickly as if I was going to hit it, just in case, as expected.
I closed my eyes and my body stiffened with tension.
“I told you to go home, what the hell did you find out?”
“………………………”
“Tell me the truth. I’m trying to get a little angry.”
When I pretended to be angry, Kyung-hee fired back at me.
“Th… It’s a useless burden, so stay at home…”
“….uh?”
“Cha.. Since I can’t tell you to die because you’re nice, I thought you were telling me to go home without bothering you…”
“Uhm… I thought buying clothes meant something.”
“You.. it’s not good to see you wearing my clothes, so wear new clothes…?”
“Then, when you stroked it earlier.”
Kyunghee scratched her cheek and hesitated.
But that hesitation was short-lived.
Soon, Kyunghee opened her mouth and began to speak.
“Si, I thought you were going to hit me because I was bored.”
“Hair?”
“Eh… it hurts more when I hit you when you’re relaxed. But I keep petting you…”
“You thought I’d wait until I was relaxed before hitting you?”
“Yeah. Ho, I’m sorry if I offended you. I’m an idiot who can’t do anything, so…”
“That’s why you rather hit me or ask me to use it.”
“Everything, from next time on, I won’t be nervous to hit you comfortably. Ugh.”
There was nothing more to say.
After stroking Kyung-hee’s head, who was very timid, he stood up.
I thought I would drink first and listen to my inner feelings properly.
It seemed that if I didn’t drink alcohol, the opportunity to properly listen to my inner thoughts wouldn’t come.
