Double-Piece

Seok-ju was blankly looking at A-jin’s face, and A-jin spoke with her upper lip pointed.

“Don’t say I’m pretty.”

Seok-ju smiled softly at the earnest words. You are so pitiful for having such a face and not wanting to hear those words.

Seok-ju asked, gently running his thumb over A-jin’s thin eyebrows.

“Don’t you know that you are pretty?”

“yes?”

“I grow my hair out because I know what you look like.”

“I’m just raising it because my mom told me to. I was born in the wrong era, so if I show my face around, I’ll die young.”

Ajin furrowed her eyebrows as if her eyebrows were ticklish. Seokju moved his hand to Ajin’s cheek. Her soft and plump cheeks looked like a white full moon. Seokju carefully touched her cheeks, worried that they might get crushed by his hand. Ajin felt good about the warm palm of his hand, so she quietly turned her face away.

“Is that lady a shaman?”

“It’s similar. What the lady said is right.”

Seok-ju nodded slightly. It seems that I have discovered the treasure that Kkot-nim had carefully hidden. He whispered softly while facing A-jin.

“Yeah. Don’t cut your hair. Don’t show your face. Keep your head down whenever possible.”

Seok-ju had no intention of showing off this treasure to the world. Instead, he wanted to hide it somewhere that even Kkotnim didn’t know about. He did so even though he had no right to do so.

It’s just a word, now that the caste system has disappeared, Ajin is just an employee working in this house, and at the same time, she is free. She can leave this place and Seokju’s hands whenever she wants.

Ajin laughed at Seokju’s serious words.

“… … You’re saying the same thing as the lady.”

He shook his head and took his face out of Seok-ju’s hands. Then he slowly turned his body. Suddenly, Seok-ju was only looking at the back of A-jin’s head. As Seok-ju was about to complain, A-jin struck first.

“I want to cut it.”

“……huh.”

Seok-ju couldn’t say anything. If he started talking nonsense, A-jin might get up and leave. He knew she’d glare at him, asking why he was bothering people like this.

Seok-ju hugged A-jin from behind with regret. A-jin’s cool body temperature made him exhale thick breath through his nose. A strange smell of grass wafted from her thick, round hair. A soft smell came from the nape of his neck as well. The corners of Seok-ju’s lips curled up without thinking.

Not only Seok-ju, but also A-jin’s lips were raised. Seok-ju’s embrace that hugged my body was so warm. It felt like there was a stove behind my back. At this temperature, I felt like I could sleep without a blanket in the middle of winter.

“Boss, you are so warm.”

Ajin said with her eyes closed. Seokju then rubbed his cheek against Ajin’s nape.

“You’re cold. That must be why you sleep so well.”

“… … Am I a substitute for your wife?”

“You’re so pretty for a dead woman-”

“… … .”

“You are so handsome.”

Ajin smiled faintly at the answer that was barely coming back. It was time for him to take a deep breath and let it out to really fall asleep. The thing that had been bothering him since earlier was poking his butt again. Ajin couldn’t stand it anymore and opened her eyes.

“But, sir.”

“huh.”

“Please cut up some peppers.”

Seok-ju took a deep breath.

“… … .”

“… … .”

There was a moment of silence. Ajin pushed her belly forward and separated from Seokju’s lower body. Even though Seokju was still, he was still moving on his own, poking Ajin’s buttocks like needles, and it made me wonder if it really was a snake.

If you’re going to move secretly, it doesn’t matter how big it is. It’s so huge and hot like a red-hot iron skewer, so I couldn’t pretend not to see it.

Seok-ju bit his lower lip and then let go.

“… … Sorry. It’s not something I can control.”

Ajin let out a deep sigh. Well, if Gochu moved around as he pleased, it would be like walking around with a snake between his legs. Ajin, being a man, knew that Gochu was doing as he pleased.

As if he had no choice, he tried to escape from Seok-ju’s embrace. Seok-ju grabbed his waist and pulled him back towards him. Then he whispered something unpleasant in Ah-jin’s ear.

“Can I sleep with it between my thighs?”

“What? Pepper? On my thigh?”

“Yeah. It’ll be uncomfortable if you keep poking me.”

“… … .”

“It’ll be okay if you sleep with it between your thighs.”

Ajin opened her mouth wide. It was such nonsense, but when she said it seriously, she was speechless.

As he was unable to find the words to respond and just smiled, Seok-ju lifted A-jin’s thighs slightly. Then he inserted a thick piece of flesh between them. Then he put A-jin’s thighs down again.

“eww…….”

Ajin shrank her neck in a strange feeling. The warm thing wriggling between her legs reminded her of ‘that’ night.

Overlapping bodies, interlocking chests, sweat and tears dripping down, hot heat, pleasure penetrating the entire body, a bloated stomach, a hot, tingling, and prickly part below the navel.

Ajin’s cheeks were getting more and more flushed. Seokju’s hot breath brushed against her earlobe. Ajin flinched in surprise, but quickly shut her eyes tightly. She could faintly hear Seokju laughing.

Ah-jin thought about the things she had to do tomorrow. Cooking, washing dishes, mopping the floor, sweeping, doing laundry, things like that. Then, Seok-ju’s peppers started to get used to it.

Ajin fell asleep without realizing it.

And fortunately, Seok-ju didn’t get confused between Ah-jin’s thighs and buttocks all night.

* * *

The next night, when the snoring of the other species reached its peak, Ajin sneaked out of the room again like a cat. And with her cheeks raised, she crossed the hallway.

Standing in front of Seok-ju’s room, he took a deep breath. Then, he pretended to have a blank expression and knocked on the door. Unlike yesterday, the door opened right away. Seok-ju, wearing a shirt and holding a cigarette in his mouth, greeted A-jin with a big smile. A-jin slightly avoided eye contact and went into the room.

“Ajin, you came early today.”

Seok-ju said, pushing A-jin’s bangs back with his large hand.

“Well… … . I have time left… … .”

Ajin ate the words slowly and chewed them. Seokju chuckled.

“Was it so?”

Seok-ju closed the door, leaned on his knees, tilted his head to the side, and looked at A-jin’s face. His gaze was too persistent and long. A-jin scratched her cheek with her finger because her cheek felt ticklish, but Seok-ju stopped her hand. Then, she looked at the red, swollen nail marks with displeasure.

“Why do you treat such a handsome face so badly?”

“It’s cool, it’s ticklish… … .”

“Go wash your face. There will be lotion next to the soap.”

“Ro… … Sean?”

“A white can. It says ‘lotion.’ Apply after washing your face.”

Ajin blinked quickly. As he stood there blankly, Seokju gestured toward the bathroom. Ajin quickly headed toward the bathroom.

The bathroom of the stone pillar was not much different from the one next to the tea room. It had a Western toilet and a hand basin. The only difference was that there was a large mirror above the basin, an expensive-looking gold electric light, and a bathtub big enough to fit the stone pillar.

Ajin stood awkwardly in front of the sink. Then she washed her face roughly. She rubbed the nice-smelling soap on her palms to create bubbles.

Seok-ju washes his face with such good soap and applies lotion. That’s why his skin is so good. It’s white and smooth, and doesn’t look like a gangster’s skin no matter which way you look at it.

Ajin, who had washed off the foam, opened her eyes blearily to find lotion.

“Lotion… … .”

There were all sorts of containers next to the sink, but they were all completely unfamiliar to Ajin. She had been washing her entire body with just soap all her life.

Still, I knew what lotion was. When I worked at the casino, my sisters used to apply it after washing their faces, saying it made their skin smooth. It was soft and smelled good.

However, the lotions came in many different shapes, and I heard that there were ones for ladies and ones for gentlemen. The stone pillar said that it had the word lotion written on it, but unfortunately, Ajin couldn’t read.

After thinking for a while, Ajin thought of the phrase, ‘next to the soap.’ Then she picked up the thing next to the soap and squeezed it into her palm. She rubbed it on her face. It foamed up.

“Ugh… … .”

Ajin groaned in annoyance. The lotion doesn’t foam. I must have applied it wrong. He hurriedly washed the foam away.

Ajin easily gave up on finding lotion. She pulled up her top, roughly dried herself, and ran out of the bathroom. Her skin felt tight after washing her face twice in a row, but that didn’t really bother Ajin.

When Ajin came out of the bathroom, Seokju was in the study.

Seok-ju’s room is connected to the bathroom-bedroom-study in that order, and all three rooms have sliding doors so that you can come and go without going outside.

So, I could see Seok-ju sitting far away at a glance.

“Boss. Aren’t you sleeping?”

Ajin said, carelessly brushing back her damp bangs. Seokju, who was holding a fountain pen and flipping through some paper, looked at Ajin.

“I don’t have time yet.”

At those words, Ajin’s shoulders slumped.

“… … Then shall I go back?”

“no.”

“Oh, you can’t?”

“Yeah. No. Go to sleep first.”

Seok-ju pointed to the blanket in the bedroom with the tip of his pen. The blanket that Lee Soon had probably laid out was clean and thick, just like yesterday. A-jin limped over to the blanket. Then she looked at Seok-ju for no reason.

I felt a bit embarrassed about taking up the unoccupied bed, but I had no desire to go back.

Ajin, who pressed the corners of her lips together, lay down between the blankets.
